Great game for a first try! Like the music (rock fan too) and the graphics are rad! Nice animations! Keep up the good work!
Congratulations to your first game! It is fun to play! I really liked the simplistic graphics. I am not so sure about the music :). In general I like it, but it is maybe a bit too noisy for this game. The random placement of the hearts could be also improved, so that they are not spawned so close to a tentacle that you cannot reach it, otherwise it is less skill based and more random to reach a high score.
Hope you had fun creating your first game and we hopefully see you again next year!
The music is top-notch. As a first game, it is really great. All functions are working properly, which is exciting in itself. Moreover, it is quite fun, challenging, with clear and understandable gameplay. I really like it.
Congrats on the first game too.
I like the title screen like.
Music is a bit heavy for me.
The player is so floaty and I cannot control where it would land.
The designs are cool and organic as well.
ty! I appreciate the feedback on the jump! That is not something I had thought about! Happy jamming :)
Congrats on your first game. I think the colors work well together, and it was a fun take on the classic dino run (the offline dinosaur game in chrome.)
Thank you! I was inspired by that game and added in time mechanics!
I really like the art and the music. The simple gamplay is also cool, but I had problem getting to the third heart :( I avoided all the tentacles and collected hearts, but still the time has always ended before the third heart :(
Weird someone else had the same issue, I am not sure why that would happen. Are you on a high-powered pc or something? Thank you for playing anyways!
Nothing too crazy, it's i5 8600k
Nice first game, congratulations! Jump timings are quite difficult to handle, which makes the game simple but not so easy to play, a good balance :-)
Thank you I appreciate that. I have your game queued up to play!
First games are always memorable, cherish them <3
Nice start indeed, a bit more tweaking as it feels a bit too slow paced at the moment.
Otherwise a very good for a first game.
Thank you! I am still feeling proud of myself. Hope you are too! The speed picks up as you go along but I agree things could be more dynamic. Thanks again!
Congrats on making your first game!! Loved the graphics and sound: everything felt very punk rock haha! I couldn’t make it any farther than about 70 points, but it’s definitely a blast. The music cut out at some point, so I’m guessing it’s not on a loop… just made it feel kinda awkward since it got so quiet haha. Well done!
Yes! punk rock! Makes me happy to hear that. I was playing yesterday and the music cut out for me too. It just never happened during testing haha
Hey congrats on your first game :)
I somehow couldnt get to the third heart even without hitting the tentacles. am i doing something wrong?
You need to grab the hearts (by running into them) they will increase your time limit!
ive done that somehow cant make it further :/
If you want send me a screen recording or attach it here. my email is pbacall2@gmail.com. Sorry!
I love the sound of the tentacule in the morning
*Sonic losing his rings sound*
Nice art style and animation. For me, the music and sound effects were extremely loud though. And as somebody else pointed out - the distance between tentacles makes it so that once you hit one, you will definitely hit another one and lose., Congrats on your first game!
Thanks for your kind words and bringing up some issues you had. It's really helpful to know what works and what doesn't for my next game!
Great Job! I really like the art, it felt like playing through one of those old-school pen and ink zine comics
Thank you that is a really nice compliment!
The music is a banger! It's just not on loop. I scored 60 at best. The art style and animation looks great. Well done!
Thank you! Appreciate the callout I will have to fix that when I can. 60 is a good score! Thanks for playing!
Not bad for a first solo dev project, but the distance between the tentacles turned out to be exactly the distance it takes to come down after you get dmage from jumping on one :D I always died if I hit myself once haha
Thank you for your comment! I agree that ideally I would have played with that distance more and added a little more randomness. However, it is possible to break out of the damage loop. I think maybe you just were unlucky. Again thank you so much!
I got the secret message on the High Score menù…thank you for the compliment :3
Well, I kinda learned the patterns and got lucky. The game is good for being your first, so congratulations! I would like more balancement on the time system though, because now you are more dependent on getting hearts and you can accidentally get hit from the tentacles.
That is really good feedback! Thank you so much and thanks for playing :) I am glad someone got the secret message!
Funny game. Already got the "just one more try" feeling :)
Thank you that is high praise!
Wow that was really a super hard game! I only managed to reach a high score of 50 haha. How long time did it take you to reach a score of 100 when you play tested? :D
Well done as a first game, I have no experience using Phaser, but it seems like a good tool for making web games.
Now, I would like to challenge you to see if you can reach day 10 in Potion Panic, which is the game we have submitted. If you have time to leave a comment as well, we would also love to hear some feedback.
Happy jamming and well done! :-)
Thanks for playing! I may have gotten lucky when I reach 100 points but it is definitely possible! I somehow managed it on the first try haha. Maybe just cause I spent so much time with the game. I really enjoyed you submission as well!
