Awesome addition to the "Vine-like" genre (that I just made up). I feel like this would make a great mobile game time-killer. Movement is simple, yet feels great, which is exactly what you want for this sort of score attack game. Great job! :)
Our submission Vinally is very similar to yours on paper, but I bet you'd enjoy seeing the differences in our approach to a "Vine-like" game (You are a fellow pioneer in this trailblazing genre).
I enjoyed this a lot! Awesome atmosphere and theme interpretation, great job! :)
*SPOILERS*
As soon as I realized that freakin' thing was GROWING (TM) I literally got goosebumps. Seeing his gnarly head poking up above the hedge is so ominous, eventually I got backed into a corner and got chomped by the lad.
This is a fun little game, love the leaderboard! I also love the smug look on my green dude's face. He's got big 'steal yo girl' energy. I feel like being able to tank a few hits would make the game even better, just because it can be easy to get jumped by an enemy in front of you. Good job! :)
All valid and welcome feedback, thank you. These are all definitely things we hope to fix as we polish the game, once the jam is complete. Glad you still enjoyed it through the jank! :)
The intention was to reward players for embracing the growth and wrapping themselves around the rocks instead of trying to stay still, but with a lack of a tutorial, I understand that doesn't come across. Thanks for checking this out, I loved your entry as well! :)
I have no complaints. These types of games are tricky to balance, but you did an amazing job here. Fantastic job, favorite game of the jam I've played so far! :)
EDIT: I kept playing for another 30 minutes in the background while I was checking out some other jam titles, probably played about an hour and a half total. I really love what you made here, just wanted to reiterate.
So many fun, well executed ideas here! I was not expecting that boss cameo, and that sealed the deal for me that this game rules. I love how crazy the concept and setting is. Great job! :)
Speedran it twice it was so good. Unbelievably great ideas and mechanics stuffed into here. And it isn't that much shorter than the original Portal! Holy cow good job :)
Oh no, that isn't supposed to happen! Luckily I am selling POWER SUCKERS proof keyboards on my itch page for a reasonable price. The keyboard also fixes all the bugs in the game, and makes you dinner on weeknights.
That is a sub-optimal strat actually, using Speedrun seed #34, the optimal pattern is actually fewazjyjfgvyjfgkgukiiuuyterwfhgjkl;xaerqgtrhnmhj,l.kllj.,jfhgndfghxfghhgfnchmjj,jk,jk.iugyftrefefawefrdghcgfjghmj,k,hjloihljipjkljhmdgfbsfzvsdfsazsxcvxcvawsdfgsdghtsgrdgdr
Such surprisingly deep mechanics considering the time frame! I love the way the batteries bounced back after throwing, very satisfying. Also love how chaotic things got when certain systems would shut down. Nice job! :)
Wowzers. Combat, dialogue, graphics, sound, all top notch. Loved playing through this and rizzing up all sorts of babes, too bad I had to break their hearts 😎
Thank you so much for playing! :) Once you pick up the mechanics, POWER SUCKERS is definitely more about playing Twister with your fingers than actually typing. I love how hard it is to find keys once you're forced to leave the comfort of the home row, that feeling is what the whole game is based around.
