Fun game, great job

This game has an ever-changing ruleset, but they cleverly wrap it in cartoonish and often funny theming that makes you want to keep trying for a higher score. Great work!  For the record, my favorite transformation is the teeny tiny lizard

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing! And yeah, the tiny lizard is veeery nice. Super fast and still nice fire bombs!

Hahaha what a great take on the theme! Love how the guy just kept changing me around. The chicken was definitely my favorite. Awesome job!

Developer

Thanks for playing! The chicken is nuts hahah, the giant chicken is just mayhem

Really enjoyed it, cool concept, genie animations were great, though the scared master sprite was unfitting in my opinion, overall solid entry

Developer(+1)

Thaaaanks!

Great concept, and so easily expanded as you can be literally anything your "master" wishes.    A lot of opportunity for a already fun great game.    Beautiful Art and sounds.   Controls were a bit frustrating sometimes, but that is likely just learning curve :)

Developer

Thanks a lot! Yeah, we have some openings such adding more Genie forms, also wishes for the scenario (make it all dark, make a water floog, lightning bolts), and also the Human can wish for himself ("I wish I was a brave knight!"), etc
And yeah, there is some learning curve regarding the controls! Thanks for the attention to the details =)

addicting little game , awesome idea where u get to play as different types of animals and such , good job , ur in my top 20 collection.

Developer

I'm glad you liked it!! Gonna try your game too right now

Submitted(+3)

This game is pretty neat! I liked the background music, it's a style I haven't heard in any of the other games I've played so far, and the art has a nice style to it! The gameplay is pretty dang good, and I enjoyed clicking rapid-fire to see how quickly I could defeat the swarm that just spawned. Also liked the attitude of the tutorial genie, was pretty funny. Nice work! :D

Developer(+1)

Wow, you got it JUST right! hahahah, exactly, rapid fire into swarms that just spawned is one important detail. It's a fast paced game! Thanks for noticing all the details, and I'll let the artist and sound designer know about your opinion! (I was coder & game designer)

Submitted(+2)

Had a lot of fun playing through this game, great take on the theme and solid presentation!

Developer

I'm glad you liked it, sir!

Submitted(+2)

Great idea! Maybe the enemies are too aggressive, I think that different enemies and each form countering a specific type of enemy could make the game more interesting. Overall, great game and aesthetics!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! We'll take these into consideration on further game improvements!

Submitted(+2)

Wish I could try this out but I'm sadly a mac user! Haha
But just wanted to say the art looked great and it looks like a nice game :)

Developer

I didn't have time to generate the Mac/Linux builds during the jam, but I do have them on a google drive link. But that would probably be against the jam rules though! So anyways, I'll tell the artist that you appreciated the art!

Submitted(+1)

Great art and effects ! I had a little bit of trouble understanding the game at first, but once i had it i had a great time !

Submitted(+2)

A really interesting and different idea to those I have seen so far. Great gameplay and art. Enjoyable. Great job!

Submitted(+2)

nice graphics , game fits the theme really well!

amazing work!

Developer

Thanks a bunch! I liked your game too, really challenging!

Submitted(+2)

When it booted up I was like "Oooh, nice music. Oooh nice art! Oooh, default Unity buttons and panels, classic. lol. Seriously though, this was a really great submission all around, very nice job with it! My only suggestions would be to finish the UI in the game's art style and make the enemies just a hair slower so that if they spawn near the genie you can get away from them.

Developer

Hahaha as for Unity button, you know, some times desperation takes control of the jammer xD
And thanks for your suggestions! I will surely take them in account when improving it!

Submitted(+2)

Looks great and has a pretty unusual theme in this jam :) I like the art too, with foolish master and cute salamander being the standouts :D


Gameplay wise, it was fun! Full twinstick controls (so I could aim better while moving) would have added to the game feel a bit, and sometimes, enemies would spawn on top of you, but that's really my only criticism :)

Developer

We're surely going to add twistick control, and also make the scenario bigger!
Thank you for the kinds words! Salamander is one of our favorites too =)

I couldn't download the game through the Itch app. It looks like you forgot to mark is as being for Windows.

Developer (3 edits)

Hi! I changed this, added the Windows option.
Can you please try again?

Submitted(+1)

As simple as the concept it, it definitely fits the theme and felt fun to play in. Typically this style of game is played as a twin stick shooter meaning you can shoot in any direction not just the direction you are facing. I don't know if this was purposefully designed to make it more 'out of control' but adding in twin stick controls would make the gameplay a lot smoother.
There is also a typo in the tutorial, one of the sentences says "knwo" instead of "know", other than that a solid entry!

Developer

Yeah, we'll surely be adding better aiming! And thanks for pointing the error on the tutorial! I was on the limit of my brain capacity when I was doing it hahah
Thanks a lot for your feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Very nice looking game. Graphics fit well and were very clear.

Navigating and shooting was a little frustrating. The arena was so small in relation to your character and enemies could spawn on top of you. Shooting would benefit greatly from some kind of aiming beyond what direction you are facing.

Original idea. Loved the different "characters" the genie could become. Chicken was so good.

Developer

We wanted to add the omnidirectional shooting, but because of the time that we still had left, we couldn't, as we needed to close other important parts of the game. We're gonna improve this! Thanks for the kind words, I'll give your game a try later today!

Submitted(+1)

Looked great and loved the idea of being turned into random critters, would be great if the shooting and facing direction were independent.

Developer

Yeah, by the time limitation we ended up not being able to decouple the facing direction to the movement direction. We'll surely improve this, thanks for your feedback!
