The idea is great but it does not fit the theme too much, and the position of the sprites are a little bit off, otherwise it is a great game :)

Nice game, I feel like i need a way to defent myself so I don't lose so much live, but I had a good time eating and searching

Very interesting theme! I enjoyed playing as the monster and I ate a lot of the villagers! It's cool that you get new abilities over time. I felt like the combat didn't quite have a punchy feeling to it. Maybe more sound effects and visual feedback could help the combat have more energy and excitement. Still, it's a good start for such a short gamejam!

Great art! could really use some retro music. Get this done early on your next jam, i think it will be more fun even for your playtests to have a nice music playing in the background.

Developer

Thank you :) We would've really liked a sick retro tune in there, we've noted your tip and will definately give music more of a focus on the next jam! :D

Sadly the game doesn't run in the html5 build. I get the classical Uncaught ReferenceError: unityFramework is not defined error.

Developer(+1)

We've fixed this issue now, if you still have the time please give our game a try :).
Also there are standalone builds that you can download below :)

Thanks for fixing that! Cool game, I like the art. I had a few issues where trees would render with the wrong Z-Order - so basically I was in front of the trees but they rendered above the character. Apart from that well done :)

I like the graphics ! Can you please try my game ? I said this too a few people but I want to get as many ratings as possible. That's because after this jam nobody will play my game.

Wow! Everything in this game fits together soo well, I think you accomplish a great game feel with the art style and the UI. Everything is very consistent and its surprisingly well polished - with small details like the minimap that work soo well, its all great! Solid game!!

Developer

Thank you, we're very flattered you enjoyed it! ;)

Damn colliders! Difficulty? You guys did some work alright. Great job!

Developer(+2)

huum I'm going to be 100 % honest with you. The difficulty setting does as much as sounds settings which is nothing at all. We had this list of stuff half implemented and we just couldn't finish some of them. But we tried  goddamnit 😆 our team went full zombie to our works monday morning!

Hahaha got me there. Great job anyways. :D

Developer

Thank you, we are glad you enjoyed it :-)

Just love what you guys did with the UI, it fits like a glove!! That Mini Map helped so much! Always hard to achieve a complete game in such a short time period and you got very close. Just felt some lack of feedback and the hero movement is a bit clumsy, but other than that, well done guys!

We also agree that the character mobility is in big need of improvement. We would've also liked to add more "weight" to the attacks but unfortunately time didn't pan out as expected. All in all we had a blast on this Jam and will definately participate in more to come :) Thank you very much for the feedback it is greatly appreciated and we will strive to continually get better ;)

A MINI MAP! i loved it for this alone, I am yet to attepmt a mini map haha, Sound would have helped but is often the thing to leave behind if you are running low on time. the art was good and the game play was solid. i ran out of people to eat and eventually died so i feel maybe a cheeky ping on the amazing mini map to give me an indication where to go after a certain time would have been a good addition if you were to continue developming.

Developer

We are really glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, it was unfortunate that we didn't have time to find some nice sounds and music to fit our game. The ping on the minimap is a great idea and we have definately have written it down to use in the future! Thank you very much!

Really interesting concept and fits the theme well. Some problems will collisions and sorting orders, but otherwise the art is good. Lacking in sounds and music though!

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much for the feedback.  It was the next step, adding some sound effects, but time completely flew by.

Art is good man but it is lack some playability I think it is not finished completaly. Well done!

Developer(+1)

We appreciate the feedback.  We did our best, but some work was needed to make the game perfect. The most important is that we had much fun  making this game.

last second submission. We had no time to figure it out. But thanks for the help! 😁😁

Good job!

In overall nice work. Some bugs in z-index sprites, and small not understanding what I should do ;D. Interesting idea with opening new skills after clearing level.

Developer (2 edits)

thanks Alexey, we ran out of time to actually design a whole level, but the ideia would be that Lara would progress around the island unlocking stuff to then have a boss fight on the starting area. Right now all you do is fight the soldiers on the first and second area and its done.
