For a first game that's just wow!
I really like the idea, the art, everything!
It's a little rough to control, my tip is make a single button for attacking and do attacks depending on the conditions! So you don't have to memorize all the keys!
Great job!
Thank you makseen for the review, glad you liked it!
This one is a combination of me learning pixel art, the Godot engine, and how games are made in general. My time was pretty limited, so some things aren't as polished as I'd like — but mostly this mini-game was me learning and testing some mechanics I had in my head.
I've got bigger game concepts brewing that'll probably reuse some of what I built here.
Thanks again, and great job to you too! Cheers!
I was confused by the controls because it said jump was on the up arrow, but it turned out it was on the space bar. I also played several times and didn't understand if it was the end of the game or something was broken because the player kept shooting but I couldn't control him and the goal of the game and its obstacles were unclear.
Hello @bl0p_bop !
Thank you for the review, and yeah, my bad, I forgot to update the controls label after I changed the keys. Fixed now!
And fair point on the clarity — the goal is to survive the waves, then beat the world-spinning orca boss. It could definitely use clearer signposting; noted for next time.
Cheers!
The gameplay was simple and easy to pick up however I don't know how to kill the whale the penguin just stopped shooting his projectiles! 4/5 Enjoyment.
I liked how creatively you used the theme in your game however there isn't much of the spin other than the boss fight. 4/5 Creativity & Theme.
The visuals were good and it did have a home made feel to it which I like but I feel like the sprites needed to be a bit bigger they were too small to see what they really were especially the weapons. 4/5 visuals.
Audio 1/5 you know why.
There is no seriousness! 1/5 Seriousness.
This game gets a 14/25.
Hi @Story_Man! Thanks for the review — absolutely fair! I'd hoped to add sound in the 24h bug-fix window... and I did it, hehe! 🐧I also fixed the bug you hit — the penguin stopped shooting because the whale's projectiles were accidentally hitting itself! That's patched now, so the fight actually ends. (Also worth knowing: the pan only auto-fires when an enemy's in range, so you may need to get closer to the whale to start shooting. 😉)
No worries about the score — I'm not chasing a win, just didn't want my conscience eaten alive by that soundless version XD. If you ever feel like another spin, it'd be hugely appreciated. Cheers!
