This is hilarious :D I really like the artstyle :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much!!

Graphics and theme implementation are very well done. Picking up new steps was a little clunky sometimes but if I moved the character a small bit it usually fixed itself.  If you do plan to continue this project I would look into adding a poke attack with the ladder so you could knock a scallion out of a stack and cause the rest to topple to the ground. Good Work!

Developer

That sounds like a fun concept! Will look into it and more attacking options after the voting period ends. Thanks for playing!

Very cool artworks and idea :) Just one suggestion: the game would have benefit in some UI and tutorial on screen, 'cause it was a little bit difficult to play the first time. Overall, good work!

Developer

Thank you! Will implement them once the voting period is over :)

I found it hard to play, but I really liked how it looks! Go on!

Developer

Thanks! Will try yours when I have some spare time. Yeah, might balance difficulty a little bit after the voting period, maybe make it start easier and get harder later on when there's some kind of ending or real goal.

the artwork is amazing, and the ladder idea is great. its a cool feature when they knock over the ladder. i noticed one bug where my attacks wouldnt go through, but after clicking r it was fixed, so not a big deal at all. overall, really good job, this game has potential!

Submitted(+1)

The artwork is really lovely, it’s polished, hitting the enemies with the ladder is really fun. I get a little tilt when I drop my ladder lol! It’s really funny when I climbed up and they knocked my ladder over :O ARGH. XD 🧅 🧅 🧅

hahaha we're so glad you like it!!! We'll play your submission as soon as we can <3

I love the art but game play was not there. You should work with a programmer.

Also there was no sound if it is not a bug also find a composer :) reply me if it is a bug and fixed so I can change my rating.

Also make controls easy to see hand writing font was making them very hard to seen.

You could have been nicer with your choice of words to be honest. And judging by your comments, we're not the only ones who have to deal with your "fair and square" rating. This is not the place for bashing people nor you are being more fair for being unconsiderate, and I would really like if you edited your comment so it says the same things without sounding so condescendent. If your team is not amateurs who like making games as a hobby but professional programmers and composers, why are you in a game jam with no material reward in the first place when you could be making money?

Submitted

I am just giving honest opinions, I am not a guy who just does thing to get his way. It is actually more easy just to say.
"Cute Game" and fish for ratings.

It is up to you to use negative reviews and upgrade yourself or just disregard them. It is not like that I am going on every game page and just write "this game sucks".

Developer

We are actually taking notes and improving from constructive feedback from other people. "Get a programmer and a composer" is not constructive feedback, nor it's an honest opinion, it's just being rude for no reason. If you don't realize the problem here is not your opinion but your choice of words, and if you're also like this in real life, you have something to work on as a person. If you're not editing your comment, which I found disrespectful (unlike others who also gave negative feedback) I have nothing else to talk with you.

Submitted(+1)

I am actually telling you to get a team and play nice with other people and don't try to make everything yourself.  Team work is an important part of game development. Anyways I don't think I am reaching to you so have a nice day.

The controls are bit hard . But the art style is amazing.

Developer

Thank you so much! We'll try to polish them after the voting period ends :)

Submitted(+1)

Overall, nice game! I found it challenging, had some problems getting to know the controls but then I got used to them and could play with no problem. 
Would be nice to add a healing option or opportunity, but thats just a feeling I had, just in my opinion :)

Developer(+1)

You're definitely right! We would have added it if we had had the time, but we will once the voting period is over. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

i love the art style a lot

Developer (2 edits)

thank you! it was made by Ana , you can follow her to stay tuned for our next projects :)

Submitted(+1)

Goofy in a great way! Lots of really fun ideas. One suggestion would be to move the controls to A S D instead of Z X C just for hand comfort. Also glad you included a reset, since I did get stuck in a climbing animation once or twice, but the reset worked perfectly. Great work!

Developer

Thank you so much! Will take your suggestion to account once the voting period is finished :)

Siempre es bueno ver a la comunidad española participar en game jams tan grandes jejeje 😄

El arte del juego, como ya han dicho muchas personas, es un apartado muy bien cuidado y os ha quedado muy cuco la verdad 😊

Por otra parte, el gameplay es un poco más pobre en comparación. Hay algunos controles que no he podido usar porque no he encontrado la manera, aun leyendo la página principal para intentar entenderlo. El combate es muy sencillo, y la mayoría del tiempo entorpece el usar la escalera porque los enemigos no paran de salir y no hay manera de hacer que no hagan spawn.

Seguid mejorando y desarrollando el juego y mucho ánimo, ¡Un saludo! 😃

Developer(+1)

Muchas gracias <3 Teniendo en cuenta tu comentario he actualizado la página principal para hacerlo todo más claro, si le quisieras echar otro vistazo seguro que ahora se entiende mejor. El gameplay por desgracia se tuvo que hacer con muy poco tiempo, pero lo puliremos como es debido cuando finalice el periodo de votaciones (seguro que te gusta más entonces ;). Gracias por el feedback!

¡Un placer ayudar! Cuando tenga algo de tiempo vuelvo a jugarlo, gracias por tener en cuenta mi feedback 🧡

Wonderful game your art style is really amazing !
It took me a while to understand that you had to pick up the pieces of the ladders to climb, I thought there was a bug. But once I understood that the game became really interesting and fun, good job ;)

Developer

Thank you so much! I updated the game page so it is more clear for next visitors. And if you like ana's artstyle, follow her to stay tuned for more projects :)

This game looks absolutely incredible! The art style is lovely! I would definitely say this game is worth continuing to invest your time into developing. I could totally see playing this as a fleshed out game on my switch or something. 

Developer

That is so nice to hear <3 Today ana and me will play your game, I'm sure we'll love it since we love fishing games! Your comment really made us want to put more work into the game in the future, I never imagined somebody would think about playing this on their switch! Thank you so so much for your feedback <3

Submitted

I had a hard time getting used to the controls and it lacks a bit of polish, otherwise, the art is incredible and it's very fun to play!

Developer

Tú eres el del club de la ETSIIT :) me alegro de que os diera tiempo al final. Hemos actualizado la página para dejar más claros los controles, por si quieres echarle otro vistazo. Luego jugaremos y valoraremos el vuestro!

Submitted

Very nice art. I like the look of the onions and the forest. The attack animation is also nice. I dropped the ladder first time I played and didn't realize I needed it to attack, oops.

Developer

It's an honor for me to get a nice comment from the creator of Dale Comes to Life. Your game has been my favourite so far! By the way, you can follow Ana if you like her artwork to stay tuned :)

Submitted(+2)

Thank you! I have now followed her. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!

Submitted

Nice graphics and interesting mechanics with having to choose between free melee attack or a costly ranged one.

Developer

I'm glad you liked it! I found your idea extremely creative too :)

Submitted(+1)

Never though I would beat a scallion with a ladder but here we are, hehehe very creative, and I love the art style. 

Developer

Thank you so much!! your game is also really amazing. You can follow Ana if you like the artstyle to stay tuned for more projects :) By the way, judging by your names, are you also Spanish speakers?
