I think the finished art style is very cute but I feel like the fishing has a good bit to improve on. I think some extra feedback and sound effects would go a long way!
Excited to see where this is at after a few updates
Art was some of the cutest I've seen and the song was catchy but the gameplay got really hard really fast with having very little time to jump over the spikes, sometimes spawning right infront the duck after a loop.
I absolutely love unique fishing themed games and this was up there as one of the most unique ones I've ever played! I loved the idea and the implementation of the loop.
My only things is that I felt it was a bit hard to get a good loop going to what felt like being too weak at the start. But after a few upgrades I was really zooming through
Plays great! I think the idea behind this was fun.
A few things I think could have seriously improved this game:
- Change the swing animation delay to after the swing is completed rather than before, it just ended up making it feel a little weird to start with until I was used to it
- Some basic sound effects would have made this feel a LOT more complete and satisfying
- At least on my setup (4k monitor) there was an issue with the game scaling with my display but the level stayed the same size. It caused the game to slow down a lot because the enemies on the right side of the screen had to walk suuuper far.
But all in all I enjoyed this and played it for quite a while! Good job!
Thank you for the in depth feedback, I 100% agree. I’ve been brainstorming some ideas to essentially scrap or rework the current goal into something else after the jam is complete! The feedback like this helps me narrow down what could work/wouldn’t <3
Hmm I wonder if you had some kind of bug because it does definitely give the money when using it. You happen to able to test in the tutorial for me just to sanity test myself?
Thank you for the kind comments though! Glad you had fun
One of the best if not the best game I have played this jam!
I absolutely loved every second this.
Only thing I could honestly suggest is just more particle effects maybe feedback (like camera shake). But even then I feel like if you had more time for it you would have had them.
Amazing job, I hope there is a full release version after the jam.
I really like the art and audio for this game! Also the concept of the loop and it's gameplay mechanics are pretty unique which I enjoyed.
I did find the candle mechanic to be poorly telegraphed and frequently had times where I was unable to remove the ghost even though I could swear it was the same location as I had previously used.
Another suggestion I might have is have the ghosts on tweens to make their movements feel a bit less sporadic.
Other than those I did have a fun time with this game!
I liked the idea here a lot but I was having issues with the straight belts deleting the luggage. Would you be aware if this was just user error and something I by chance messed up with?
I liked this one! Nice short and simple with a good twist on the looping platformer.
Only issue I really had is the looping when using the launchers felt a bit finicky, like I'd frequently find they just wouldn't launch me after looping.
Honestly I was a little sad when I had ran out shorts to see (I even showed it to my brother). Easily one of my top picks from the ~105 I've rated this jam
I really liked this, felt like it had heavy inspirations from Super Hot and Hotline Miami.
My only thing that really made me put it down was the timings for parrying bullets felt very very strict and I couldn't get past the second group with an enemy that shot.
I really liked the art work and gameplay inspired by pizza tower. It's a shame because it seems like I was affect by that over 60hz sadly so I wasn't able to play too much of it :(
At first I felt like getting speed increases were going to make the ghosts not threats but then I realized how much of a hazard they were going to be the faster you were going, kinda fixing a common issue I've seen with games like this one where basically every ghost just goes the same speed and line.
Honestly I don't have much to comment on critiquing the gameplay it's self but I think it'd be hilarious if you had it so the planets would react to being close to exploding or getting sucked into the sun
