Great game!
Wow, this is a really cool game! :)
The gameplay loop is fun and challenging, and the ending is very intriguing...really gets me wondering what will happen next in the story! (if you plan on expanding this)
The soundtrack is groovy and accompanies the gameplay very well!
I still have some critiques tho, mainly the sound of the monkeys being a bit too loud, and the fact of being completely udefended when you don't have the weapon, making bad throws very punishing: maybe there could be a basic attack that cannot deflect projectiles but still does a bit of damage? Also, death is not really communicated (I initially thought there were only 3 levels in the game, but no, it was just me getting repeatedly obliterated by the storm at the end of that level)
Overall, fun experience! As said I don't know if you plan on expanding this, but it has potential! :D
Hey! Thank you very much for the honset review!
First, about the loud monkey death sound, we noticed it was loud too, and upon trying to change the volume it almost corrupted our entire game for some reason, so we had to leave it at that...
Second, about the basic attack, have you tried pressing the Right Click button? Its a melee attack which deflects and deals damage to monkeys (as seen in the tutorial)!
Lastly, about the death transition, you are correct, its pretty confusing, but we ran out of time to create something readable :(
Anyways, thank you very much for playing our game and reaching the end, congrats!
Oh, about the second thing, yes I am aware there was a melee attack with the weapon, it's just that It felt strange not being able to use any attacks at all while the weapon is thrown (I often just didn't throw at all because the melee attack was just as powerful and reusable). That might just be a me thing, tho, as I tend to be pretty hyperactive in games haha.
Yeah, our game is pretty punishing lol, we wanted to create tension, and make every throw count, as it makes you vulnerable. By that, we make the player think of better ways to throw the shield - like straight up to easily catch it, or aim it so that it will hit multiple monkeys at once
Ahh, then if that's so, you got that feeling spot on!
I'll leave the same comment that I made on the game page: I love the intro, the art, the atmosphere, gameplay wise it is pretty fun and challenging. My only complaint is the girl going forward when instead of staying when you are going back to collect your weapon thingy. and that the last lvl is kinda unfair.The sound track is also pretty nice, I really liked the night one where there is thunder. As for the controls, kinda weird but got used it relatively quickly
The combat is very well thought out, sometimes its got me mashing right click like a monkey, ironically; other times I gotta aim carefully to strike multiple hanging enemies and I always jump to catch the shield midair like a badass, of course. Graphics are really cool, love the use of parallax for the jungle background and the ending scene is fantastic. Congratulations to everyone involved!
Great game, really fleshed out visuals and the gameplay was challenging but fun!
the visuals are insane! the game is fun too, attacking is satisfying and balanced. great work!
I wonder how did you created such a fun game in one week only, to animation, to control, the art and the sound design, absolutely masterpiece! Thanks for submitting!
With a lot of sweat, restless nights, and a great desire to insipre and bring smiles upon all of your faces!
Good graphics, smooth controls, nice work.
Visually one of the best games I've seen so far this jam, this game looks really good! Gameplay wise, it ends up being too difficult to actually defend the lady when your shield doesn't come back to you! I feel like with some tweaks this could be absolutely the best game, so great job making this within the week!
The art is very well done, as is the game design.
I also liked its narrative, although perhaps the hitbox collisions could have been polished a little.
Either way it's great work! :D
The intro sequence was RAD. The impact frame just when pressing space bar, i love it. Gameplaywise, I think the game will improve a lot if the shield bounced back when thrown at enemys. If a monkey comes from behind, is very punishing to throw it there because the lady will run off by herself. Nice game, great potential here!
Wonderful game, I liked every element of it. The pixel artwork and the animations were beautifully done and the game mechanics were pretty fun.
Wow, hard game but I love it!
Wow, hard game but I love it!
Omg the story at the beginning is so fun, the pixel art is awesome and immediately pulls me into the story. I would have loved if I could hold the shield button down to continue blocking (and maybe the mouse release is the bash attack) but other than that this was a really fun play, you've created a really fun atmosphere
Wow this was fantastic, beautiful art also !
What amazing game. Love the art, music, presentation and especially the gameplay is very addicting! Love it <3
Sick! Very Fun!
Just wow!
Nice art, gameplay, audio and idea.
I really enjoyed this one. One small suggestion though. In the lightning strike portion, maybe it would be nice if instead of a circle appearing where the lightning will next strike; There could be one big circle and one smaller one inside it which grows to the size of the bigger one before strike. This would better indicate when the lightning actually strikes.
Overall very solid game!
Awesome, awesome and awesome. Everything was great!
I had a bug where I couldn't progress past the temple steps but the art was lovely and the gameplay was great, had a lot of fun!
thanks for letting us know! can you say what happened exactly?
glad you enjoyed it!
I saw the animation of the lady getting pulled up but then I couldn't find a way to progress. I couldn't move to the right and I couldn't climb the stairs. I also accidentally threw my shield outside of the map border and couldn't reach it :(
did you try jumping the stairs? or did you try but got stuck anyway?
and the shield bug, yea unfortunately I missed some colliders in some places, ill make sure to fix!.
thank you again!
