This was a blast! I love how much life was packed into such small and simple sprites. I really appreciate how every enemy feels fairly choreographed; I never felt like I was punished for anything out of my control. The music of the modern era sounds like something straight out of Terraria, too! Phenomenal work!

Developer

Thank you!

i love the artstyle!! and also the combat its really good when u get the hang of the combat its really fun. This was very fun and i can see this being a full game! 5/5

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I think I'm mostly cutting off the project here, might do like my last entry and add a few small fixes and improvements to make it more interesting and playable. This DID get me super interested in enemy AI, so I might have to create a little personal project to mess with that! XD

Cool game, first one i finished. Impressed by you being alone doing this, great work. Fun gameplay, visuals were clear and nice.

Very nice game ! Really liked the sound feedback and the feeling it gives when slashing :) 

Feel free to take a look at our game too if you have some time !

Already done, loved the art you guys did! Thank you for playing!

Wow dude, it's so smooth to play but i would love to see much more interactions of fight between player and other bats.You've managed to put such a good expirience in 3 days as solo

Developer

I totally agree, wanted to add abilities and upgrades initially but ran out of time. Planning those for the update. Thank you for playing!

Loved this game! literally the only drawback was ui quality, everything else is near perfect!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Yes def need to fix  that one up. I had some art almost done but it got too close to the deadline lol. Def adding that in the patch.

Submitted(+1)

Damn, every aspect was carefully handled and it shows! I think my favorite aspect was the animations, really smooth.

So fun!

Wow, this is so much fun! I was completely immersed while playing. The gameplay is excellent. Also, the music blended perfectly with the atmosphere and was great to listen to. The most memorable part for me was those ranged soldiers who "click" and shoot then run away. They were so annoying! It felt great to finally take them out.

Thank you!!! I’m glad you enjoyed!

I liked the good combat, but in the last levels there are not enough bananas, you have to wait for the last droppings before eating them

Developer

Thank you for playing! And yes I def agree, the last level gets pretty tight on time, I’ve only rarely finished under 1:00 and that’s with optimal pathing. I did want them to get harder and harder, but I think the last level gets difficult not due to the combat, but the time and hunger. Worth a look in my patch. Thank you for the feedback!

I like the feel of this game's operation.It's just that the keys have some limitations on my operations.It's just that the keys have some limitations on my operations.

Thank you for playing! Are you saying the controls are bit weird? If so I totally agree. I don’t know why I decided on enter to attack and mouse lmb to navigate the menus lol. I’ll add some remapping of inputs in the patch.

Submitted(+1)

I liked the music! When I listen to it, I punch everyone I meet! But visually, the characters are very cropped, but in the style of retro games it’s cool!

Developer

Thank you for playing! Yeah my art skills were out in full view on this one XD. I plan on getting some practice in before next jam!

All hail the the Fruit Bat Vampire Lord!

I really like the art style of the characters: Very minimal, but doing its job.

Cool to see the different attacks/behavior of the enemies. I tried to hide behind a rock at the beginning ... until I found out you can run or fight right through them. =)

What about adding a hint about the level boundaries? Would be a helpful addition. I even got stuck there a few times.

Really cool game jam entry. Enjoyed it a lot!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! Yes I 1000% agree. I ran out of time for the boundaries and that was rough. I even added some destructible objects and planned to add some static objects but they just never became quite clean enough to implement. Thank you so much for the feedback. Adding to my post jam update!

Combat feels great; everything's well telegraphed and has a nice weight to it. My one criticism is the banana feels a bit half-baked in its implementation, since you can just pick them up as you go and it doesn't have much impact on the gameplay. Maybe instead you'd have to stand still for a second to eat a banana so that way you have to switch from chasing the enemies down to running from them to find a safe spot. Had fun with this one!

Developer

I love this, will definitely take this into consideration in my update! Thank you for playing!

Very cool and polished game. I love the animations and the design. It could use a bit more gameplay, but for a jam entry - it's brilliant.

Developer

Thank you! I 1000% agree with the more gameplay bit, that was my sadness. Originally planned for levels every 100 years with upgrades in-between. Ran outta time :(

Got shot dead 😅 Really fun entry — character art style is great. Took me a minute to realize I had to kill the humans though, I started out collecting bananas like a polite fruit bat. Solid entry — and thanks for playing Time Robot too! 🍌

Developer

Dang you got MURKED! lol. Thank you for the comment,  the character style is purely because I dont have the art skills for anything else lmao. Maybe I should add a pacifist ending ;p

A funny Survivors-like with Action-RPG mechanics.

On the last level, it is hard to see some of the units when they are on the road.


Otherwise, great game!

Developer

I agree! That was one of my worries lol. Def could do with an outline. Thank you for playing!

Developer

My best time was 1:31, forgot to take a screenshot. Good luck!

Got a 1:30!
