Like the other said, as it has a high pace and need to be precise, each sutter have a great impact in the feeling and the anticipation of the next space presses.
I had some difficulties to understand that you have to click on image and on the text to give and that you have to release the mouse button to spin up the ingredient
All the different customer picture was fun.
Good luck Sir Sergius to become the greatest magician !
I love the doggo visual, Especially when he becomes a big boy !
The level design of the 3rd level is bit deceitful as we can't the the spite before it's too late, I don't see how it is possible to anticipate this obstacle
In your Itchio page, it is written that you have made the programming and the visual, you should write where the audio come from
I did take a bit of time before getting that the nail is physically part of the gameworld, that's a cool idea
I love the contrast between the happy little contest and the edge lord main character
Every opponent have its technique and made each battle unique
The gameplay has a great feeling, The art has a vibrant personality, the sound design is great, the story is funny. What can I say except excellent work !
The spinning mecanic really depends on the precision of the peripheral. If during the spinning there one input on one frame that tells the game that your going the wrong way, it stops the spinning
Plus you have to keep a rotation speed of 2 rotation per seconds, it is simpler with a controller than with a mouse
This functionnality was quite a hurdle to implements, as we find out that not everybody could do that, we prefers keep the alternate way of spinning with a button (that was originaly a debug function)
Well I don't drink coffee, she was mlean to me, but I believe that I 've learned a thing or two about coffee
I loved the visual, we completly in the theme.
I didn't manage to make a coffe better than mid, but it's better than nothing, like another comment said I too believe that an history of what we have done could help
Just one small caveat is that the game have some issue when we click at the start many times in a row, it launch the main game many times. plus sometimes the music doesn't trigger
Walkable cities are a very serious topics, I 'm happy to see that every one take also it very seriously by all walking bare foot, even the dogs. This simulation tackle the subject of hurting your bare foot in various wall
I'm looking forward for extended footage of this serious simulation
What bother me is that I have the feelling that we don't do enough damage of our own, and I found myself rely a bit too much on the decoy. I also ahave the feeling that our hurtbox is a bit too big so we take dammage when the foes just brush against me
That's the seriousness I am looking for !It's edgy as hell and I loved it !
It takes me some times to be used to the control (I died on the boss in the 1rst run in 10 minutes, then I beat on the 2nd run in 3 minutes). The 2 issue with controls were that you have to press space 2 times to fly (and not keeping it the key pushed) and that you've got to have a little bit of left/right momentum to deal damages.
It was difficult to see/predict where you are going at that speed and with this camera with the dog at the center. I believe you could use those biscuit to help with the anticipation of jump.
I really liked the rebounce feeling, I could see some level using rebounce on the foes to get to some alternate paht like in a runner.
Cool Boss intro and I really liked the outro sentence !
Nice detail of the bakcwheel when you press j on the ground
It's unfortunate that there are no sound effect except for the music (which is very serious)
I'm sorry that you didn't like the audio. Could you be more specific about it ? Did you have an issue with the composition, the mixing, the vibe, the transition with the next track or the integration between the background music and the spinning music ?
In fact, you could do both, keep the old pizza move off screen on the conveyor visually while starting the new pizza gameplay wise. If everything is linked to one and only pizza, I agree it could be difficult to do in the code
We are a team of 4 with 3 member in a part time job. We had plenty of time during these week. Plus as we are in europe, we are in GMT+2 timezone. So the last deploy was at 01:00 am the 27th in local time.
We also have a script that compile the game for windows, linux and web and deploy them to itch.io, so updating itch.io was less stressful and quicker. And everyone roughly know how to use Git, so even less stress and more security on the code base
Cool little game, I really liked the spin of the idea
I see that we can't draw a circle too big for balance reasons, but it breaks a bit the flow. Maybe a better solution would be to make the start of the line follow the line after reaching the max length, like a snake. It should incentive people to spin their mouse to quickly fill the bar.
For the additional mechanics, having a simple game that can be played with just one joystick is something that pleased us, especially when making a 3 minutes games for a jam.
You're right about readability, it 's something that we should be looking for in the future
About the mouse spinning, it's something that was pretty hard to implements. Using the general movement was something I thought of, but in order to know when we are making circles you have to make circle around a specificcentre point. To make it work in the allocated time we chose to use the dog as our centre point.
The timer is a leftover as initially we couldn't skip the instruction (also it was initially the screen "how to play" that was shown instead, but we found that the quantity of text was a bit overwhelming and repulsive, so we replaced it with the current screen that echoes the seriousness)
Yes, I'm not experienced at all in the audio integration. I don't know exactly the best way to do that but I believe it's to synchronize the spinning music on the beat of the background music
I agree, I believe that the best option should be to synchronize the spinning sound on the beat of the background music. But I don't know how to do that in Godot
It was one of my greatest pain point, I spent 1 afternoon and 1 evening to make the spinning detection works. According to my test, you need to have a peripheral precise enough and to be constant enough and this is not something simple. Plus the detection shouldn't be too sensitive or else spinning will always trigger (especially with the left joystick as it is the same code for both mouse and joysticks)
Thank you so much to have enjoyed our game despite the issue !
