I can’t rate the game myself as I’m part of a team (How To Build a Campfire). But, if I could, I’d give it a solid 4/5 overall!
Fantastic job on your first game, congrats! The controls are incredibly smooth, the game is fun to play, and it’s pretty well executed all things considered. Keep up the good work, can’t wait to see what else you put out!
Welcome to the gamedev community pal! Hope to see a lot more of those ideas!
This was a very original entry. Simple yet effective controls and premise. Very easy to turn into something competitive. Well done!
Thank you! The core gameplay is basically the godot doc tutorial Your first 2D game which I adapted with new sprites, smoke effects, match animation, character turning, different camera, spawn mechanics and mob spawn regions. Happy to hear my changes made it feel original :)
Enjoyed it had a fair few goes! Nice and simple but interesting. The match that is thrown can land right on an ice cube so ending your run.
Thanks for playing! Yeah the match landing on a icecube is a problem I didn't know how to solve within the timeframe. I get the new_match target position 0.2s before the current_match is burned out and the throw is 0.7s, so it's 0.9 seconds where you can't control the match. Maybe I could give the new match a target "shadow" so the player can sort of start controlling where it lands while the match is in the air.
I wonder why the matchstick gets burnt down and automatically replaced like that when it could just be a simple flame instead that you move around. Just a curious thought I had.
As Alpinweb said. It kept me playing for a while as well! Sometimes simple is best. Good luck with your gamedev journey!!!
A really impressive start for a first game! I couldn’t put it down for quite a while :) The extinguishing sound is hilarious!
