Awesome idea, but I cannot seem to get very far. It is very satisfying seeing the tumbler fill up on my longer runs. I also have a pretty decent PC but it got very loud while I was running this game, no gameplay issues but seems pretty intensive.
Sadly yes if is quite intensive. Had I time managed a little better I would have looked at optimizing it more, sadly the Nanite system that Unreal forces on projects in UE5 is horrible when looking to build a small time game like this.
Thank you for taking the time to play it, the satisfaction of seeing the tumbler filling up is one of the best feelings I found haha, during play tests I was finding myself memorized by how much was tumbling.
Got to round 6 and I immediately exploded the game engine to the point it lagged because I made fat dough, lmao. Very interesting idea, I wish there was some more cool sounds and a little music track.
Thank you very much for taking the time to play.
I 100% agree, the lack of a music track and limited sounds is an issue. I plan to update this in the near future. As it was about 2am for me when it was submitted I felt i didn't have time haha.
Thank you again :D
First tip for game jams: Always try to upload your game as a WebGL build. Most developers and players won't bother downloading the games (speaking from personal experience). A tutorial would be nice too, i was a bit overwhelmed first. You should not be able to start a round without ore, or should you? I am lost here. I bought 4 ore and pressed space for a minute but nothing happened. Overall a nice idea!
Thanks for playing. I would have liked to have added a tutorial but sadly didn't have the time to implement one :(
This is my 4th, ... or 5th ... cant remember haha, game jam now and I'm learning new stuff everytime. The ore tumbling is on a 15 to 25 second timer (it sets randomly on each ore when it spawns in after clicking start round) I'll investigate further.
Thanks again
