All power to DVDs!!! Was a fun game to play, and it took a few attempts to beat Netflix :D One bug, which I took advantage of, is that XP+ perk carries over when you die, making your next run so much more powerful! :)
Found this one pretty addicting. Ended up beating it on my fourth go and immediately going into endless mode. Kept playing until DVD reached a nice cinematic 1FPS, and I'd do it again! Great job!
One thing I did notice that I wasn't sure if it was intentional or not: at some point during my third run it stopped letting me pick increased XP gain on level up. Like if the option showed I could click it and a sound effect would play but nothing happened. I'm wondering if the XP gain upgrades persisted between runs or something, early levels in my fourth run did seem pretty quick.
Nice! the intended purpose of endless mode lol
Dang! Nice catch, it was the latest ability stored in an autoload and I forgot to include a reset for it. Enjoy the free XP :D
Enjoyed the variety of upgrades here, lots to choose from and fun trying them out. Did notice that if you have a controller plugged in it just wouldn't register keyboard controls, and for whatever reason moving diagonally with a controller just made me move slower than everything else. Outside of that had fun with this game great, loved the art and music. Great job!
Ah yes I left in some controller bindings that I was testing out and abandoned. In a post-jam version I will fix these controls but they are not fully functional. Glad you enjoyed the game :)
The game was really addicting, I kept wanting to play for another round! My biggest complaint is that the characters are so small that it's hard to really see any clear visual detail. I'd really love to see an option to zoom in or increase the size of the characters/screen.
I'll try to make some better options for visual clarity/scaling in a post-jam version :)
This game it's addictive hahahaha
I beat it in the third try, but there are moments where I lose my little guy. Beside that, I loved the minimal art. Congrats!
Yay! That is the goal haha
I'm super glad to hear it is being beaten, I struggle at winning and I've played it probably 50+ times.
Cheers!
I loved your game! The upgrades and the concept are amazing!
I had some difficulty to play because the size of the game elements didn't increase on fullscreen but I loved the graphics
I did not expect so much variety of upgrades based on the simple premise. Got pretty into it - about the only thing I'd change is increase the default movement speed a little bit (but I'm one of those people that will pick speed upgrades over almost anything else, so take that with a grain of salt), other than that, it's a game that is exactly what it wants to be. Well done!
I assume you were inspired by Tiny Rogues/Survivor-likes? I loved the theme of DVD vs. VHS/Streaming, and overall the art and audio was very clean. Perhaps a slightly larger resolution would've been nice as I lost my player a couple of times through my runs, but nonetheless had a lot of fun.
Yes! The Tiny Rogues visual style is something I have been wanting to try since I first played it. I am very happy that you noticed :D
This game was really fun! I love the concept of DVDs vs VHS, and the online streaming platform boss was so good haha. The graphics fit nicely as well, simple, but effective.
I like to imagine you've been dreaming about how to use the bouncing DVD screensaver for years, and you finally found the perfect use! The game was awkwardly small, and also the music volume would reset after an upgrade, I was trying to better hear the other audio cues. Surprisingly easy to get sucked in, took 3 tries to beat it, great work!
Sorry about the audio bug! I have the fix ready but have to see if it's accepted for jam. I have been looking for a good use for DVD screensaver for a while hahahah
Glad you enjoyed :)
Loved it. Balanced well enough to be fun for a jam, and really engaging while playing. I was getting into it. Some upgrades are clearly better than others - but I like that most upgrades have a significant impact on the game. Great job! Congratulations on the submission.
I thought I was terrible at this game because I thought the wasd and arrow keys would move. Once I just started using wasd, got it.
Fun little game, and I like the music. Dvd's vs VHS!
