We don't get enough games that exalt the supporting characters on mainstream media.
This game is a really solid take on being a supporting character!
Those demon guys are scary! Cool voxel graphics and fun role reversal! I think I killed my hero because I gave him a machine gun and the recoil pushed him into the enemies hahaha
Really cool idea! Giving the player items while running around the map and trying to collect said items is a really cool mechanic. I just wish the player didn't dodge so much haha. I must've thrown like 3 shotguns at him but he kept moving away from them as soon as they were about to touch him.
I was doubting on the concept when I saw your game and... I was completely wrong your game is really a fun one ! It fits perfectly the theme and the idea is really original well done !
Really fun little game! unfortunately, it was a bit laggy for me, might just be my internet. if I were to make the game a bit more fair I'd shrink the stage a bit so you don't need to aim perfectly over such a long distance and make health packs drop more often. The idea of this big burly marksman shooting demons while a little kid runs around the battlefield Is absolutely hysterical. Great game!
Cool game; my biggest wish is for enemies to attack you as well, so you have to dodge, but I liked the strategy.
An interesting game. I think the idea is very original. Would love to see it with a better AI for the hero, but it's amazing for a jam game.
Thank you! and yea wish we had more time to polish the AI, but thanks for the feedback :)
I agree with everything @k0vac said. Nice game, might need some tweaks. A very cool idea though.
Very interesting idea and gameplay! The hero sometimes goes out of the camera's view and the swarm of bats tends to overwhelm him most of the time. Another thing I might recommend is adding a sprint button to little Timmy.
Other than that this was a very cool experience!
Pretty cool idea, but it's a little unfair and the AI runs into obsticals. Quick tip: use the unity nav mesh and tweak all the values for enemies, health and so on a bit more
Thanks! and yea could use with some more polish in terms of the AI, as atm its a bit RNG but 48 hours will do that! Appreciate the time you took to play :)
This is a creative idea! It's quite hard to get to the health fast enough.
Appreciate it! Unfortunately little Timmy only got little legs ahah
