I think you made an amazing tech demo of your skills with shaders and lights. Like other people have mentioned it seems like you just had a game to show off and the jam happened to be here. Also I do think the menu is incredibly annoying. I want to be bale to quickly spend my money and get back to the flashy lights, but they bounce around and it takes so much longer to click things.
I have mixed feelings on this one. I do like a challenging platformer and some rage-game elements, but I feel this became difficult for the wrong reasons. Im not sure if the checkpoint was meant to be fake, or just didnt work, but it is extremely disheartening to get very far up and then clip inside a moving block and have to press r, only to see it takes you all the way back to the start. I also felt like the character controls were extremely unpredictable. Sliding off corners of blocks, air and ground acceleration feeling very different, the low jump height, and fast gravity all lent to a feeling of struggling because my character was janky, not because I could not get the timing or sequence figured out.
That being said the animation and artwork was really great. And suddenly turning background blocks into real walkable surfaces was so unexpected and cool.
Fun game! Phoenix Wright + Obra Dinn. My brain struggled to remember the icons and I kept overwriting my saved message, but other than that i had a good time.
Very cute artwork and animations. I think the combat felt a bit slow? Maybe would have liked being able to choose all the options at once, then play the animations. Also the giant cat who yoinked my entire team felt completely unfair. No way to do enough damage in one turn and disabling their abilities didn't seem to ever stop them. Maybe just a skill issue
An interesting little game. I was worried it would be really annoying from the first 2 waves, but once you get enough towers to stagger than and manage sleep cycles it becomes an interesting problem. Missing a lot of TD mechanics, but I am guessing that is due to time limitations. Really fun, great job!
Im looking to form a group of people who want to actively participate in the design and creation process. If you are interested please let me know or add me on discord: kingofthejukes
Hello, if you are still looking for a team, are you open to working in Godot? You can code c# in it, but it's own scripting language is very simple to learn if you are familiar with coding. I'd love to chat more on discord at KingOfTheJukes if you are interested!
Glad I snuck in one last review before the end. This was amazing. I also made a puzzle game and spent way too long on an editor. Yours looks so clean and fits the gameplay really well. Amazing job!
So I got a few levels in and was thinking to myself "this is very polished and looks good, but the concept is a bit simple". Then colors appeared. My mind was blown. Amazing job.
Wow, this is amazing! I love the art and the combat system is super interesting. I think there is a lot of dead time with the long load screens and how repetitive training is, but its so fun to look at I wasn't too upset.
This is a fun concept and I love the ragdoll physics. Probably could use a bit more tutorial about using items and stuff, but it was easy enough to click stuff until it worked
This is a lovely prototype! Obviously limited in scope, combat feels unresponsive, movement is smooth, but not particularly 'fun', etc. Those are all mechanical changes and for a jam, don't really matter much imo. I think you nailed an aesthetic and mood so well. Its one of those things where as soon as you open the game you want more. Amazing job! Love your art and design sensibilities.
Oooo! That could look really good. With the sort of structure you have, you could make different 'skins' for it. Maybe let th eplayer pick what they like, or use it to theme different world or something. Depends on how much you are wanting to add
I am such a sucker for a minimalist puzzle game, and this is exactly right. It felt so good to stare at a level for a few minutes imagining the route and then it all clicking into place perfectly. Amazing job!
Spot on lol. It was an easy to fix bug, but then when I started designing puzzles I realized I had a lot of ways to force the player to reserve weight and split, but not ways to merge together for progress, so I added the 'bug' back in.
Thank you! Yeah, stacking players and boxes is the biggest thing I ran out of time to polish. As such, I never designed a puzzle where you needed build a tower of players, though Im sure you can cheese a few levels if you did haha.
RTS cooking would never cross my mind. Quite tricky to play though. Maybe unit groups or something would help, I always ended up with too many guys doing the same thing. great concept though
Love the puzzles. Only wish is for more, which is just what you want from a game. Baba is you vibes in the art and how complex simple mechanics can become.
Honestly, probably better puzzle design than my game. This was really delightful, though I believe I found zero secrets. Ran through it twice just because it was that fun.
