Hey GameFavourites!

I know its weird to ask in an itch.io comment section, but I couldn't find any other socials beside youtube and patron.

For GDKO Round 4, I am making a GDKO Sandbox with elements of loads of peoples games in gdko. And I was wondering If I could use the yo-yo spider.

If so could you reply to this with the art please?

Thank You!

Hi Charcool,

Sounds like you got a cool idea for round 4 and look forward to what you make. Yes you are more than welcome to use my yo-yo spider in any way you want even in future rounds if desired with no need to give credit but you can if you want to. Here are the images:

The yo-yo was fun to play with. It was also fun to stand on the spider and let it carry me around. All the other little updates made this game feel more put together.

Developer

Thanks for playing and its great that you noticed the little updates I added since last round

Submitted(+1)

I like the updates, especially the feedback when the king takes impact from the blast. The spider was cool, but I might have had more fun running around like a mad man and dropping dynamite everywhere. That you included both toys is a bonus in my book.

Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for playing and commenting

Pretty good! Only thing I'd still recommend is to add some kind of score counter to measure how many times you move the yoyo back and forth without it stopping on your hand or the ground, and possibly some satisfying sounds + visuals to keep players more engaged with the yoyo itself. Anyway, the little spider friend was a nice touch :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for taking the time to comment. Yeah those are excellent suggestions and would definitely make the yoyo more fun to use for sure. Unfortunately I am unlikely to implement those changes in the future as I am thinking of making the yoyo toy as just an idle animation that players may or may not ever see when playing the main game from round 1. Thank you for your kind words and appreciate your feedback greatly. I don't have high hopes for my game in this round as I don't think it was too engaging if I'm honest with myself but hope to do something better for round 3. Hope to see you there too 

p.s. I've played on all of the games in this round and yours is certainly top level stuff, especially love the hair of your character

The yoyo spider is very nice, however as a matter of fact, the boomerang kept me more engaged. But a great idea to keep players engaged by making the yoyo come out after a certain amount of time

Developer(+1)

Thanks. Yeah I agree with you there on the boomerang being more fun. I don't plan on making the yoyo a part of the main game play. It's mainly just a gimmick similar to how you would see Sonic the Hedgehog tapping his feet if you don't move him for a while. My thought is that rather than the king being impatient, the king would be bored and pull out a yoyo to play with. If I get to finish this game, the yoyo spider will not be mentioned in the controls or anywhere for that matter, it'll be more of a thing for players to accidently stumble upon. Thank you for commenting and wish you the best of luck in round 3

great job! love the toy! and it was fun waiting to see what he does

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing my game and I'm happy that you liked the toy

Submitted(+1)

I really like the toy! I liked the animation as the king uses the yoyo, and then it was a lot of fun experimenting with the different things the spider can do like lifting you or carrying the dynamite stick :)

Very creative toy and I like that you have some hidden stuff in the game, makes it more fun to explore.

Developer

Thanks!

hehe it kept pushing me around! Very practical tank you made: I throw bombs while cruising around.

Great to see your game evolving! The initial mechanic is so strong.

Developer

That's good to hear, thanks!

:D I really like the spider. It ran away, and I couldn't pick it up, so I just put a dynamite on it's back

Developer(+1)

Glad you like him and found out about how to use the dynamite. I shall try to make the spider be picked up in another round if I go through. At the moment, if the spider goes out of the screen, he gets destroyed and the yoyo can then be used again.
