Really cool! its very fun and its the perfect difficulty, it would be a bit better if the enemies wouldn't spawn on you and the game could use some ui and some sound effects, but its still really fun and very good for your first game!
Hello, i think your game have a great potential. The big thing i miss while playing is some feedback because im slicing zombies, i want some crunchy sounds and animation. Overall the controls are good, the gameplay is clear and i love the arts ! Good job !
Its a good base for a game so far! just a few things
For starters I think the mousewheel for attacking is unique, but for a gimmick like that i feel its important to mention it somewhere in game. Additionally something I noticed was that enemies would spawn directly over my player, so that was kind of an issue… Overall i think the game just needs a bit more polish, maybe some animation work and more in the sound department would really help in making this game even better
overall very neat little game, a little flawed, but very neat.. can’t wait to see what kinds of works you do ahead! you have alot of potential ^_^
(also, psst… just so you know for the future, the common practice for game exports is to put your .exe and .pck in the same folder, and make a .zip for it to be uploaded online, just saying it so you know for next time :p)
The idea is really good, but it's missing a lot of things (animations, better UI...) to make it work. Still, a very good game!
kinda get the idea and it's great! but i can't get the mouse wheel input to work properly on the web ver somehow. i'm on a macbook, tried physics mouse wheel as well
Nice concept on theme! unfortunately the web version kept crashing for me
Interesting idea but needs a bit more polish, it didn’t work correctly for me on Firefox the wheel kept making it hard to see
the game is pretty solid! loved spinning the mouse wheel, tho the UI could definetaly use some work
Really fun idea! Using the mouse wheel to rev the chainsaw is a super clever way to use the jam theme, and it made the game feel unique right away. I also liked the art style, it has a nice cardboard/cutout feel, and the minimap was a cool touch.
The main things I’d improve are polish and feedback. Some clearer hit animations, louder chainsaw sounds, enemy attack sounds, better UI, and fullscreen support would make a big difference. The scroll mechanic can also get a little tiring after a while, but the core idea is really strong. Great work overall!
What I already liked:
-Using the mouse scroll for the chainsaw.
-The art was nice.
With some extra polish (animation, ui, soundtrack etc.) it would be even better, but it's already quite good :)
For some reason I get stuck and it kinda kills the whole browser window when it does so, I'm playing from Firefox, did anyone else have this issue, or am I just messing up something big time? The game just freezes and I can't really do anything on the page, I had to close the whole window and open it again :( I liked the concept though, from the few seconds I got to play with it.
we fixed the bug and will publish the new version after the jam
I love when people come up with such unique ways to incorporate the theme and you did exactly that! Using the mouse wheel as the main attach for the chainsaw is very smart and it adds a unique sense of gameplay. Great work!
i really like the idea of scrooling th wheel of the mouse.
The concept of scrolling the mouse to operate a chainsaw is cool, and the art style is really nice! It's missing some feedback, and the chainsaw sounds are very quiet compared to the sound of footsteps! With a little work, this could turn into a really fun game!
The artstyle is cute, and the concept of spinning the mouse wheel to rev the chainsaw in nice. Plus the minimap is a nice touch.
The sound needs work tho as there is no sound for enemy movement and attacks. Sometimes an enemy spawned right behind me which can get annoying, and an animation for the chainsaw would make a big difference.
Overall with the right polish it can be great
I love the concept! Very clever use of the scroll wheel.
Two points I'd like to make:
1. Lack of fullscreen support makes this game almost unplayable in browser, as the browser starts picking up on the scrollwheel input and moving the window around.
2. Animation frames for the chainsaw rotating would help it stand out.
Overall, great work though! If you fix those issues, I think this would be an excellent game!
Thanks for the feedback. We will work on these changes and upload them once the game jam ends
I have a mouse that allows me to "unlock" the scroll wheel and let it free spin, which made this game a breeze to play through. Funny concept. I appreciate the SFX so I know when I am doing damage. A basic animation would help the idea that the chainsaw is spinning. Other than that very good effort!
love the idea but get stuck on screen after the player die
Looks great, The gameplay loop of just going to enemies and spinning chainsaw needs work
The scrolling to do damage is a cool idea, but it gets tiring after a while. If you polish the graphics and UI a little, i think this would be a fun little game:D
