Hooray, Krumbles is free! It got a bit mercyless on my laptop, but I managed to run it just fine in the end. Maybe some graphic settings would be helpful. The voiceacting was really funny, and the setting was nice as well. The balls felt a bit out of place and hard to control, but very effective nonetheless. Nice job! (Ghio)
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, didn't have time to optimize or add an options menu but was afraid even with the small world that it would strain some machines due to UE5's beast-mode lighting model. Initially had planned for other mechanics such as catapults to launch Krumbles but ran out of time and had to cut scope so leaned a bit too much into the balls as the a bit too "gamey" way of getting past enemies. The hard to control aspect is probably due to the collider being a capsule and being a bit out of sync with the general shape of Krumbles himself. There's really only two strategies - classic fight or flight.
Crazy and fun game. You did great!
The voice lines were funny and really sold the bit, but not sure what those balls are. Kicking them into spiders is fun though!
Thanks! The voices were planned from the start and made sure to prioritize and was trying to go for environmental story telling. The balls were a bit "gamey" and the initial idea was that the parents who made the cookie have a kid who made a mess on the floor but maybe the balls being a bit too glowy, although emissive materials are cool and draw the player, kind of made it too gamey. I had initial planned more mechanics like a catapult but had to cut it mid-jam as was clear I wasn't going to have time to add it.
Nice. That was fun. I got really good at rolling all the balls into the spider masses, without actually hitting any. That was the objective, right???
Thanks for playing! Lol, that sounds like a bug as the balls are supposed to collide with and kill the spiders. The massing of the enemies is due to the simplistic AI of just an aggro and combat radius and cooldown that is configurable at the actor level once the player exits the aggro box. Spiders aren't too smart so it doesn't really matter in my opinion :). AI Programming is what I enjoy most and have most experience with but wanted to focus on other aspects for this jam.
No, it wasn't a bug, my aim just sucks. I definitely killed spiders with a good hit, but not a gentle touch, which seems fair!
Yup. I added a minimum velocity component to the hit before it would register it as a kill. Kept it simple - one good hit, one kill.
What the hell did i just play?
10/10 GOTY ;)
LOL - Thanks for playing!
I did really enjoy your voice acting. I legit laughed in real life. It was a lot of fun.
-That guy named Greg
Thanks, was hoping I'd get a few laughs from the VO :)
Haha, quite a fun game, i love the personality you gave the game by VOing the cookie.
And i didn't need another reason to dislike spiders, thanks! XD
It was short ,sweet and fun. Well done!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Fun simple little amazing game!
Fun little game!

I didn't know spiders like cookies!! Very scary! I had lots of fun actually being able to beat a game. I even smooshed a spider. Loved the voices!
Thank you so much for playing! I really did enjoy doing the VO :)
