pretty cool game idea. good job for a first game jam game!
Good first jam game. I think the concept is nice and really creative; cool to see a stealth game. And it's fun to do objectives without him seeing. Also the art is cute especially the cover art. Some of my issues were;
- I don't like how the task bar pops up at the start of the game while the game is un-paused (usually the task bar pauses the game) and if you forgot which key closes the task bar then it'd be nice if it said "o closes task bar" on screen
- I think it's a bit too hard to actually do all the tasks you're given, since when he stands on a spot it's pretty impossible to go near him. Making him walk to different spots and making the time to finish the tasks be more generous before getting fired, would be good
- It doesn't make much sense to me how he knows whether the logs are cut down or not when they're not in range. I think it would be cooler if he only fired you once he walks up to the location and his cone of vision sees that you haven't cut down the trees yet
Other than that I think it has great potential and I'm happy for you about how many ratings your game is getting!
Thank you so much!I always love seeing such detailed comments,it is super motivating to continue since I was so scared of posting this.For the task bar,thanks for pointing it out,earlier it was not shown on the screen but people forgot to check it out,thanks for letting me know,I'll fix it.
I'll pause the game,it must have slipped from my notice.
For completing the tasks,you do need to use shop's items(press E) and divert him or pause him.
For the third point,that was what I was trying to accomplish,for eg,for the logs,he goes near the tree grove in center.I think I made the vision cone too aggressive though and I'll try to work on map design.Maybe I'll add some timer kinda bar? to show next investigation and make it lenient.Thank you so much for your review!
Great game! Maybe instead of it being a random place it moves, you should make it a fixed point so the game is actually possible, because I cant collect the tomatoes when he is right next to it. Other than that, well done! Its a great game for your first jam!
If you have some time, it would be awesome if you could try out my game :D
Thank you,maybe try checking out shop items?Use cake and divert dark lord.Anyways,thanks for the feedback,I'll try taking all that I am hearing and improve it.Also,I'll check out your game.Thanks!
really cool game, though I can't seem to use the stunner.
I am sorry if the tutorial is confusing.A left click should place a cake (redirect) or stun(pause/freeze the darklord) as long as you have the required coins.E for shop,O for to do list.
Super creative to use hand written to do the intro! The overarching narrative is also very funny ! well done!
how do I start the game?
Pressing enter should work..Are you stuck on rhe hand drawn slide?
hand drawn, thanks
Very fun and creative for a first game jam, really good job!
