I rate your game rate my
I don't know what kind of thread this is about... 3 games in one jam. the game world is great, but the mechanics are terrible
Yes, I fear I spent most of my time trying to make the game looks nice that I didn't realize my mechanics needs some work. I appreciate all feedback and taking them into notes to fix my game!
good luck!
very cool. audio is wonderful and visuals too. this game's also a very creative use of the theme.
i do have to say i got stuck in the park after defeating a skeleton and couldn't move anymore.
also i didn't understand the concept of the battles very well, and i ended up insulting everyones' mamas (a classic) as that was the only option that seemed to work every time.
and, as others have noted, it's a bit counter intuitive that if you interact the player has to mandatorily stop for a second even if there is no trash near him. it kind of interrupts the flow of the game.
i also maybe would have made it so that when you are talking to an npc the timer stops, so that you don't feel pressured to skip the dialogues.
i know, however, that these issues were probably only because of how little time you had to work on the game, because overall it feels like a very polished product. congratulations for that!
Hi, these are all really good points. I think you're right, and I should add it so the timer stops. I've heard a couple other people point out that they can't move after a while. Still looking at that. My best guess for now, is the collision layers. I'll also fix the flow of the player as well, that was another concern I heard about. For the battles, you start off with only two of them but picking up paper off the ground makes it so that you unlock other insults. Not the best way to go about that, I'm seeing it now. But some insults do more damage and have multipliers based on the mob and the size of the trash can. With the short amount of time that I had, I couldn't come up with that many insults. But from hearing everyones feedback, I'm gonna go back and really work this game. This is my first game jam so I told myself to take it easy lol.
yeah, i totally understand. it's my first game jam too and i also tried to keep my game as simple as possible.
i obviously don't know anything about your game's code, but maybe you could check if you have some kind of condition that prevents the player from moving when you are inside a fight. like for instance some can_move variable that you set to false when entering combat. i think that could be the problem because at least in my case, the moment i stopped being able to move was right after winning a battle. it was the fourth or fifth battle if i recall correctly.
I can see the vision of this game, however I simply couldn't finish it because I had 7/9 park cleanness and there were no other trash bins available. Also it feels kind of sluggish when I press click/e/x and the character stops even though there is no trash near him.
Hello! Thank you so much for the feedback. If you talk to the npcs they mention that the city also has trash not just the park. But I did notice a bug after submitting, where it only counts the cleanliness if you defeat the monsters. I'm also not sure why my monsters aren't showing up in the web browser because when I ply-tested it they seem to appear just fine. it could be that I joined haldway through and had less time to sort bugs but I genuinely appreciate this feedback. This is my first ever game jam, and game so I'm honestly happy that it came together.
Whoah, i really like this city and all visual, also sound theme is really good
Good game, great use of audio, visuals and theme. My only feedback would be that there are some visual glitches on some sprites and I got stuck in the park, I couldn't move. But overall great game.
Thanks! I joined late, so I kinda rushed through it lol
