PLEASE don't make your game full screen if there is no way to exit it. I couldn't understand the game mechanic, so I was completely stuck and tried to hit ESCAPE and that did nothing. I ended up having to use the Task Manager with a forced task shutdown.
Wonderful music and I can see the beginnings of a great art direction! The mechanics are a fun concept, but I don't know how it fits with the game style nor do I get what the objective is. I think this is a great proof of concept of the scarf line tracking, but it seems like a strange thing to have when the movement is limited . Is there an advantage to placing two versus one tower?
Could tower be thrown past and allow teleport through the wall to avoid enemies?
I think I understand that you are trying to do a sort of Bomberman-like game; however, I guess I'm not sure if you are trying to make a Bomberman clone or just haven't figured out how to build more upon your unique mechanic to differentiate yourself from it yet.
How long did it take you to create this from concept to now? Did you create all the art and music? Did you have any previous programming experience?
As a beginning GM dev, I just am wondering how long it would take to get this far.
Hi, thanks for the feedback, I took a week to develop the entire game, all the art and script code is mine, only the music and sounds are from the internet, I give credits at the end of the game. this is just an experimental game, i was just testing an idea and checking if it works, so it still lacks polish, this is my first game and this is my first game jam participation, thanks again for the comment, because these comments make me see where should I improve.
I think you did a great job considering it has a lot of firsts and you did a good portion of it by yourself! :)
Interesting idea! The graphics look really good!
The music isn't quite right for my taste. And you need to polish and develop!
Good luck =)
Really cool and unique game mechanic! Although, I wish it was expanded upon more, it was mostly just used to breaking blocks and killing enemies. Lots of room with this mechanic for more movement, give a good reason for the player to place multiple poles down.
The levels seem to be randomly generated, which I believe is counter-intuitive, since this mechanic would go very well with specifically puzzle designed levels to fully embrace the movement.
Some audio elements, such as picking up powerups, are mixed to be much louder than the audio. Visuals look great! Lots of potential here for a very unique game!
