My thought process for the different tabs were that they made it hard to see each countdown on each screen (order, pizza cook, and raid time countdowns) so you'd be in a bit of a management hell, where the main gameplay comes from. Adding better navigation, less early difficulty, and a couple QoL changes would hopefully help, so that's good for me to keep in mind for future jams. Thanks for the input :3
I really really enjoyed the art style and look of the game. The gameplay was a pretty decent platformer, but it was kind of bogged down by the sliding making the movement feel less responsive, hitboxes for the falling pits + spikes being a little unforgiving, and the sfx were just much louder than the music (easy fix tho)
Cool game :3
Extremely fun idea, feels like something that I might buy on steam (given more content)
Some feedback:
- Luck & Difficulty feel like they have a kind of weird place in the gameplay loop. Luck seems to be primarily used to get more gold since crits didn't feel that noticable? Difficulty I was unsure the purpose of, other than to make upgrades that would be really good have a downside.
- Gameplay loop is fun, could use some more varied upgrades / strategies
- The totems just being one big "upgrade slot" feels like a missed opportunity. Upgrades could potentially combo with other upgrades on the same totem, perhaps? Something more to do with totem positioning / placement of upgrades would be awesome
- Really fun, great job on this jam!
I really enjoyed trying to get onto the leaderboard, fun mechanics, the movement + shooting is always so fun for me. Late game, gets kinda chaotic cuz you can't really see (due to the lasers), which kind of impedes the gameplay but is also kind of fun to have to play around? Very neat, liked it a lot :3
Ok I really really think this game is too difficult, and I LOVE THAT. Its SO FUN LIKE GENUINELY THIS IS THE BEST GAME I'VE SEEN ALL JAM. Sure, it's a little unbalanced at times, requires almost perfect headshots to consistently progress, and could use more of a tutorial to tell you that only headshots & kicks really kill, but its SO AWESOME!!!!
Thank you :D
Basically the entire first day was just coming up with a concept, how the game would run, and planning general features. The rest of the days were pretty much just entirely spent on working on the programming side, with our artist working crazy hard, which barely let us scrape by the deadline with *actual testing this time*. I've literally never had time to playtest on GMTK jam games because half the time I add too many features ;-;. This turned out well tho :P
Thank you <3
Honestly, there would be nowhere near the amount of stuff finished + polished without the help of the team. Having Flux_Sage_Sketches do literally all of the artwork (when in past year's its kinda just been me doing the art, & it takes a loooot of time....) and SilentYapper help a lot with bugtesting, making the ENTIRE tutorial on his own, and generally helping out around with various tasks gave us a bit more leeway with the game. Had to stay up until like 5 am, just a few hours before the jam was over, to finish stuff like the music, bugtesting, and the event system, but I think it was really worth it :D
Got both endings, but after getting the first ending (bad end) I lowkey forgot that the description said to reload when trying again due to a bug lol. Spent like 3 minutes until I went "wait im stupid"
I really enjoyed the narrative in the game, its very silly & I'm VERY emotionally attached to Pikpik & the cat. Both are very cute :3
At some point in every person's life, they must take on 3 mortgages. Why, you may ask?
At another point in every person's life, they must understand that "debt" is more of a..... "game mechanic that *doesn't* make you happy". Have that new car. Throw that party. Get into a relationship. Throw that party. Pursue your dreams. Get dumped. Throw that party. Become an alcoholic. Throw that party. Throw that party. Throw that party. Throw that party. and die ECSTATIC. wait i forgot to retire
