Hey congrats on the good result you deserved it. I enjoyed the game and there was lots going on to learn. Witty too. If you'd been able to do your own music and background you'd have been even higher. Well done and cya at the next one I hope 🙂
Loved where this was going, the tetris like shapes combined with the resource management made for a really soild idea. I could tell that it needed a little bit of work still but it was still a valiant attempt. Trouble with the leaderobards?? xD. I had troubles on score space #8 with that, figured it out this time around xD. Not 100% the score on the leaderboard top scores were legit or not xD The wall climbing was really easy to pick up and play, though I struggled to see the danger in the game, I got that the fire would hurt you, but gravity didn't...... I felt there was a missed oppotunity there for a gag or something... Overall, the game works and runs with no bugs that I could spot on my few attempts, a great entry overall!
Hahaha we're just that good at our game, man. 😉
Naw, it has everything to do with the program we're using and the scores for other projects that were used on it before. I'd have to talk to my TD about exactly how it works, but unfortunately we weren't able to delete the test scores and other things that were on it before... It was more of a "Let's just use this thing for right now to get this submitted, and we'll put a pin in it" kind of decision.
I'm glad you found the wall jumping easy to pick up, it's what I personally thought people would have the hardest time with! As for the fall damage, your point is totally valid. It was more of a design choice: I totally hate when floaty platformers have fall damage, and our lead designer thought that it would be hard enough to have to dodge all these projectiles on the way down (since you have to go down to get more money). That being said, we changed the time of how long the months change last minute. We were worried about people dying too quickly and rage quitting. With longer months in play, and more time to take into consideration how to ascend/descend, fall damage could totally work now.
I appreciate you taking the time to leave such detailed feedback, and for downloading the game. Thanks a lot for playing! 😁
Thanks for the detailed feedback! I agree that we have an issue regarding easing the player into the game and having them understand what's going on. We actually planned on having the gameplay go much quicker, but ended up slowing it down to try fixing this issue. Otherwise, they'd just be dying super quick (which I guess is a good way to learn, but not always the most fun way).
I honestly don't remember which program our technical designer used for the high scores... I'd have to ask him. 😅
I love this concept, you made great work, congratulations !
Thank you, our team worked day and night to get it done! Glad you hear you liked it 😄
great game man
Thanks a lot! We couldn't get the leaderboard working on WebGL, so I appreciate you taking the effort to download it 😄
I couldn't make it work either it gets stuck at 90%
Just played your game it was cool, art and music were great and loved your theme it was sarcastic yet real....
Haha, we gotta try to find the humor in life sometimes, even when it's terrible. But nobody says we can't do it mockingly. ;)
Glad you liked it though, thanks for the comment!
I love the Tetris take on the theme, and the coronavirus jokes are awesome! This game is beautiful from all angles, and the theme, gameplay, overall aesthetic AND sound are phenomenal! Great job!
Thank you for the glowing review! With everything terrible that's being going on this year, we wanted to try to find a silver lining and put smiles on people's faces. Glad we could put one on yours 😁
Well, find a silver lining you did, because this game deserves to win gold!
The level design is really creative. And loved the music. Good job.
The level design is all you, depending on how you build your tower up. So give yourself a pat on the back 😉
Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it!
Nice game with good graphics and fun soundtrack. Good job
Thank you! If you like the soundtrack, check out "mathgrant". His chiptunes are just a treat for the ears. 😊
Really nice! It took me a little bit to understand how it works but I enjoyed it!
Thank you! If we had more time, we'd put in more affordances to help players get the controls. Glad to hear you liked it though ^^
