Others said it before but the music and the sound effects are so fun :) I saw your progress on the Discord and I am very happy to see the final result! I got the wave bug and couldn't progress further, but if you fix it let me know, I really want to play the "final" version of the game!

Great idea, very cute art and sounds, good vibes all around. Well done!

Thank you very much, yes i'm itching to release the fix but I am waiting, I will let you know ust as soon as it is out.

PS. I loved your game, it was 100% my bread and butter

the smile I had on my face listening to the music/sound effects was wide enough to eat a cookie whole, very cute game! I very much enjoyed it :)

I really like the presentation and use of limitation. Reminds me a lot of that old Mario Twins flash animation.

Island Delivery

mistermakiSubmitted328 days ago

I absolutely LOVED the music and sound effects. It made me laugh out loud, thank you for that.
The puzzles are quite simple and could use a little bit more spice, but overall the result is very nice, great entry :thumbsup:

Stay out of my property

I really like your game, especially music and sound effects, I would like to see more levels and new mechanics :)

Submitted

aushijoSubmitted328 days ago(+1)

i loveee the puzzles! very creative mechanics and a great mash of turn based and puzzle. music and graphics are cute. but i think there is a bug when you go on a big wave at 0 you get stuck there and can't move. overall well done, it'd be cool if you played mine! excited to see more levels :)

Submitted

aushijoSubmitted328 days ago

also your windows download doesnt work! this tutorial could work :)

gatorsoupDeveloper328 days ago (1 edit)

Thank you for the heads up and the tutorial!

BahamutgreenSubmitted328 days ago

SUCH a fun game! It's really simple but even in just a few levels I feel like you got a lot out of the gameplay and the hazard variations. Also I have to give it BIG points for the cute art style and lovely acapella music

Fun but short puzzle game, with an interesting set of mechanics. SFX and Music were good.
The only issue I had was getting stuck on waves when they respawned, which was a bit annoying.

Would like to see more levels and mechanics in the future.

Good work.

Offset Archipelago

gatorsoupDeveloper328 days ago

Thank you! I am glad you liked it. Yeah the wave bug is known. I have a fix ready but i was just too busy to post today.

seizarSubmitted329 days ago(+1)

Loved the presentation, sfx and bgm are genius, the mechanics are pretty fun too. I also run in some of the problems other mentioned (play area extending past the grid, getting stuck on waves) but honestly it didn't bother me too much, you can still see the intention behind the levels

Treasure Island

gatorsoupDeveloper328 days ago

Awe thank you. What is BGM? :D. I am glad the html problems were not too bad.

seizarSubmitted328 days ago

I mean background music, although I'm not sure "music" is the right term here :D

MINIMASubmitted329 days ago

Loved it! Had some screen issues at first but then lots of fun! And the music was amazing

TheGreenSproutSubmitted329 days ago

Attack on the island!

Cardboard Corsairs

gatorsoupDeveloper328 days ago(+1)

Thank you! I think I played your game earlier. It was great. I loved the cardboard cutout vibes

SDfSubmitted329 days ago(+1)

A nice, short game! The sound effects and music were quite fun, though I was shocked when I first heard them. On one of the levels with the wave, if you go on the wave tile when its at 0, the player gets stuck, is this intended?

Submitted

gatorsoupDeveloper329 days ago(+1)

Thank you! I am glad you liked it. No the wave catching you at zero is an unintended bug, I have resolved it and will be posting a fixed version shortly.

Lazy4GamesSubmitted329 days ago(+1)

Awesome music, and a very well made game!

gatorsoupDeveloper328 days ago

Thank you for playing. Haha yeah its a super strange problem, I think im just forgetting to check some box somewhere in godot, alas no luck yet with a solution.

CemKaanUSubmitted329 days ago

I think there is a bug with the build on MacOS because the game freezes and tries to use %100 cpu still I could hear the sounds. it's just really unfortunate not being able to play as the game looked promising on the gifs!

Submitted

gatorsoupDeveloper329 days ago(+1)

Yes, apparently godot 4 html games have a problem running on mac. I am sorry for the inconvenience .

seizarSubmitted329 days ago(+1)

In case it helps, I had the same problem but after some minutes of waiting and selecting 'keep waiting' when the browser tries to kill the script, I managed to play on my macbook

VisualImpactSubmitted329 days ago

Lovely gfx and a really nice little game, though the problem with the viewport makes it "a bit" awkward.

Submitted

gatorsoupDeveloper329 days ago

Oh no how much of the screen was cutoff

VisualImpactSubmitted329 days ago

Hard to say since I couldn't see the whole screen, but I would guess at least half of the screen ...

gatorsoupDeveloper329 days ago (1 edit)

Did you try changing the browser zoom on the page? I have heard that work for other people. If not, could you, and then get back to me.

gatorsoupDeveloper329 days ago

Hello, I talked with some people and they said that perhaps its your browser zoom so if you want to try again later, you can click outside the game and CTRL- and CTRL+ to change the browser zoom and this allows you to see the full game. (This will not effect how your browser looks in other windows, or at least it does not for me when I tried it.) I hope this helps.

Mohd SalmiSubmitted329 days ago

Love the audio and the art, very unique. I Couldn't see the whole map though so kinda took some of the fun.
