itch.io

there is a waxweaver wiki although nobody seems to be maintaining it, the community isn't strong enough

https://waxweaver.wiki.gg/

i think most of the more confusing items have a page though

outgoingCall in this thread has a really good computer. The issue isn't caused by anyone's personal computer not being up to snuff, it's just some specific hardware quirk that affects people at random ( so far as I can tell. )

the software is certainly unoptimized as shit though, and its coded like complete ass. The only way I could really fix it would be to create an entirely new program ( as well as ditching godot, probably ). That's something I neither want to do nor do I really have much skillset outside of making stupid games in Godot.

I'd recommend checking out PNGTubeRemix: https://mudkipworld.itch.io/pngremix It's a much more stable and feature complete fork of my software ( although, theseus may argue how much of a fork it still is lol )

It is also never too late to learn some 3D modelling and rigging, if the 3D avatar is what you really want. buying a commission be damned, i guarantee you what ever crap you can make yourself will be much more charming

it is the godot user data folder

the escape key is supposed to open this folder but it doesn't work because mac sucks

https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/io/data_paths.html

if that folder isnt there you can probably create it. If that doesn't work idk then i make video games not software tools sorry

i love tooth world

i fucking love shipping wood

you can change the hotkeys but i forgot how

the folder that contains the logs and shaders folder is the correct folder, you have to add your files in there

they do not. using them will disqualify your score

im pretty sure these are correct:

• Forest Easy: 1m15s
• Forest Medium: 1m50s
• Forest Hard: 2m30s

RANKS are based on time only, death count doesn't matter. Simply get as good of a time as you can. While selecting a level, it will give you a "time to beat" which is the time required to get the next highest rank. Getting 100% S-ranks is possible but its very very difficult !

it is not closed source

its made in godot i just press “export to linux” and it works

the smiley face jump reset will only activate if you still have at least 1 flap left. its "intentional" but really it was just a workaround for my messy code as refreshing flaps in ball mode caused buggy behavior that i didnt want to waste time properly fixing. glad you like the three shrimp room i was kinda proud of that one

just play it man

severe lack of shrimp 1 star

that will be $1.50 extra

Had the joy of playing this in person at the expo. Lots and lots of fun and has a ton of charm!

game crashes when you press on PLAY. I was just going to download to play instead but there's no downloadable build!

i guarantee you this is a cookie issue on your machine and has nothing to do with the game. Make sure autosave is ON and that itch.io has full cookie and javascript permissions. Some browsers will auto-clear cookies after an amount of time, but I've never heard of one rolling them back.

there is no 32 bit version.. you can download the source code and use godot to create a 32 bit version https://github.com/kaiakairos/PNGTuber-Plus

https://godotengine.org/download/archive/4.1.2-stable/

godot is very lightweight and very compatible with a lot of stuff. If you can run the game im sure you are capable of running the engine it was made in

there isn't any official mod support but you can download the source code and play with it https://github.com/kaiakairos/waxweaver

it can't be minimized because it won't be rendered in the background. you can just put it behind obs or something, just don't have it on top

it likes to do that sometimes

admittedly im not sure i understood what the secret was even after finding it. I just jumped around and squashed my keyboard all over. Even after replaying it several times AND solving it several times I couldn't figure out what the actual secret was. Which seems counter intuitive to the theme. "the garden HAD a secret" nuh-uh, it's still a mystery to me !

AH wait its the screenshots. I was about to complain that I thought the screenshots were nice and that I was disappointed the actual game didn't look like that, but after taking a longer look I see it was part of the solution all along. Now the garden has no secret! The end dialogue is a lot more emotionally impactful now.

Still though I was kinda excited thinking i was going into a freaking epic platforming adventure. I like the screenshot art a lot.

godot 4 web games have a tendency of being weird on mac..... IDK.

the downloadable version is for windows but it should be playable through something like wine or proton

are you on a mac? others have had the same bug but they are always on safari...

Visually this game is really nice ( i wonder if this guy likes graphics programming.... ) I really like the shine effect on the blocks especially. I do have a couple critiques in terms of the gameplay: 

• The game requires a controller. I didn't mind this as I do own the specific controller this game asks for, I even put a piece of electrical tape over the bright awful light to make this controller usable and my gaming more professional. The gameplay is simple enough though, I'm unsure of why keyboard was omitted when it would have been more convenient for most people. Honestly though, I've been meaning to dust off this controller for my own gaming purposes, so this game has helped me remember that I own one.
• It wasn't obvious to me at first that I had multiple balls, I had to read the itch description before I realized I could shoot multiple balls. Playing with just one ball is a bit challenging lol
• I wasn't expecting the timer to not restart for each level. Having only 20 seconds for the entire game is a neat idea that I quite like, but maybe it's a bit too hard... The furthest I managed to get was level 2 with ONE brick left. It's against the rules of this jam, but maybe a future version could have time pickups that give you a few extra seconds, or maybe some extra balls.

Overall though I'll always and forever be a fiend for brick breaker type games so good work with the entry, I had fun!

I'm going to end up repeating others with my critique, but I want to be thorough:

• The spikes at the bottom should kill you immediately. Once you are down there, there is no way to recover, so it not being an immediate loss is just a wasting time.
• There should be a second or two in between the player dying and the level restarting ( a space for a death animation mayhaps ). When the restart is immediate, the player doesn't have time to register that they've lost. Because of this, a lot of the time I will still be holding a direction key. So when the level restarts, my character will immediately be travelling full speed off the platform, before I have time to react.
• The volume slider on the menu doesn't change the volume in the actual game.
• The physics are a bit janky. I'm not familiar with Unity so I'm unaware of whatever method is best for making a platformer in it. I read your code and saw that you are using a rigid body, I wouldn't recommend doing this.
• I don't think this game really needs a life bar, I feel it would be better as just a one hit kill thing. All of the levels the hazards can just be ignored since you have enough hit points the just damage boost trough everything.
• That being said because of the janky collisions, it can be hard to avoid dangers at times. On the third level, it feels pretty bad to get hit by the spikes on the right edge of the platform. This would be more frustrating if it was an instant loss.
• This one is a nitpick, but I'm mentioning it because its a personal pet peeve of mine that I see from even very experienced devs: The "exit" button on the main menu only makes sense for the desktop build of the game. In a web game, this always just crashes the game and forces you to reload the page. I'm not sure how its done in Unity, but there should be some method of being able to check if you are on web or not. 
• Lastly, as Yerghaiz said, the UI scaling is funky. You can't see the first life bar properly or the coin meter unless you fullscreen the game.

Sorry if my critique is too much, please don't feel disparaged. You should still be proud of the fact that you have successfully made a game for a jam, that already makes you more accomplished than a lot of devs out there. Keep at it, and your games will only get better and better !!

the music is bumpin'. I do wish the game had a faster way to restart, having the wait 20 seconds to read the losing dialogue, and then 20 seconds of the intro dialogue before you can try again is pretty brutal. i liked the third phase the most, the sprite work was fun

some people on newgrounds were having a similar bug. are you on safari ?

lol, I thought this game was very funny. the best score I managed to get was 98 % ( although my best scoring one wasn't very funny so here's the elephant )

the critique i have: 

• I wish the timer didn't start until I started drawing. I always end up spending the first few seconds just figuring out which color matches what I saw.
• This is the 20 second jam, so i understand its part of the rules, but I think this game would be better with a longer timer, 40 seconds or a minute maybe. I feel like with just slightly more time I could get funnier results, but i always get cut short. It might even be good with no timer at all.
• I do wish there was some sound ! Some whiteboard ee oo ee oo as you draw would be good. maybe some funny mysterious crime music. 

It looks nice, but it is not very fun. I'm all for "experience" type games, but this just seemed pointless. It didn't made me think about anything, it was just loud and hurt my ears. I also think it's shady to release a game for 1 dollar and then just have it on 100% sale. Why? Jam games are supposed to be for fun and learning.

the art in this is REAL nice. Extra points for making the web page look really nice, I think its cool when little jam games get that treatment. The sound in this game is really nice too, it fits perfectly and expresses the action well. The gameplay I'm not so sure on, but let me be clear that I am VERY bad at rhythm / quick time type games, so I am probably not the best judge of this game's gameplay lol. I did manage to get 10/10 on the first stage though !

i can't believe im late to this instant classic .....

the character runs a lot faster than i expected and it made me chuckle a bit lol. I was left feeling like there should have been more to it. It's entirely RNG based, so once I found the button the first time, I had no real interest in trying to get a faster run.

Congrats on making your first published project !

the math is for sure the one people find the hardest lol. You're right that the font isn't the best, I might update it and change it to something bigger and more readable

the best score I was able to get was 1. I think this game has potential, but I have a few critiques:

• Firstly, the drawing mechanic doesn't function the best. Drawing a path too slowly will cause you to make a really janky paths with weird bumps on them that the ball gets stuck on. Draw too fast, and there are gaps, which the ball can get stuck in or just fall through entirely.
• It feels weird for my score to be punished for going fast. In order to get my high score of 1, i just collected a couple stars and then slowly and tediously moved the ball into the goal. It's much more fun ( to me at least ) to flick and kick the ball around in a panic, trying to get as many stars as fast as possible, but the game punishes you for playing in this way. I feel like the timer should either have no bearing on the score, or add your remaining seconds to the score. perhaps something like 'score = (stars * 5) + time remaining'
• Another player said an eraser would be good, I could agree to that
• Flicking the ball is inconsistent, and seems basically impossible to kick it in any specific direction. I avoided using  the mechanic because it only caused trouble. ( playing again it might be entirely random ? )
• The first time I played, I didn't get to read the instructions because I clicked on the game window ( habit to make sure my computer has it focused ) but clicking on the instructions anywhere closes them immediately. It should have a PLAY button somewhere that you have to specifically press
• SOUND. Sound is half of a game, and this game is entirely missing sound !

I think the game has potential, and I think the art is real cute. Sorry if i come across as mean, I just like analyzing the games I play. keep up the good work !

my highscore is 102! fun simple little game. Feels very clean and polished too with no outstanding issues. The only real thing that bothered me is I wish there was a little more feedback when you make the coffee. Right now it only plays a sound, that's really short and quiet and very easy to miss. I wish there was something visual, maybe a particle or even showing our little bird guy holding a cup.
