Thanks very much! Yeah, personally, I try to recreate a bit of that low-poly (and not very good) educational game/web page, or at least my mental image of that style jaja.
And yeah, we discover that for some reason on some devices that part takes a lot of spin while in others not, now that we have some free time would see if we find the reason (a little late jaja)
Thank you very much ^^ It was a fun learning experience with 3D Godot, definitely would use again. We have plans to continue making games both together and each one of us on our, so that’s the plan for now ;) (Maybe even we would post something this GMTK, if the times matches.)
Thank you very much! ^^ Yeah, we tried to play more to our strengths with this game because we’re still beginners when it comes to 3D visuals. Since we had such a short amount of time, we decided to go with a simpler design so we could focus more on the mini puzzles.
We learned a lot along the way, so maybe next time we can make the visuals better for a 3D game or go with 2D, where we have more experience.
Love the art and style. I could totally see a full game like Papers, Please with this mechanic. I also like the way you implemented the game jam theme.
Unfortunately, I don’t know if it was because I didn’t understand the game correctly or because of a glitch, but I didn’t quite see the effect of the different spin options. I was expecting to see how the news changes or have some visual way to see the effect of each choice, but I only saw the money go down.
I think, as some people have already said, it would be very nice to have a little more time to debug and add a tutorial or some extra help. I would love to come back and try it again if there’s an update in the future.
Thank you very much! ^^ We had a lot of fun coming up with ideas for the theme, so we’re really glad that people liked our approach to it.
Yeah, I could totally see the mouse pad being a struggle jaja. Personally, I hate mouse pads and try to never use them (my mouse pad didn’t even work), so while developing the game it wasn’t something I thought about. Next time, we’ll definitely try to keep that in mind and design/test with different ways of playing.
Love the approach to the theme. Very nice puzzles, and they have a good increase in difficulty. Love the ideas that start simple and keep adding more and more factors as you continue through the levels. For now, I’m stuck at level 17, but I see myself coming back later to beat it.
Love the implementation. I also thought about a wind-up toy, but couldn’t really concretize the idea in any specific way (I was also thinking a lot about sadder ways to include execute the idea jaja, nice to see a more cute approach). Love to see someone did it, and in such a complete way. Overall, it’s all pretty solid, the art style, the vibe, and the main gameplay. The only thing I’d say is that it would be a good feature to have a self-destruct button or something to quickly try again if you get stuck on a level. Many times I ended up in positions where I couldn’t win, so I had to wait for the baby to kill me or go to the menu and select the level again.
Love the illustration at the end. But rats make me crazy.
Nice puzzle game. Maybe it’s a skill issue on my part, but even at the end I wasn’t quite able to predict the behavior of the ball with the different spins, so I ended up relying more on trial and error. Either way, nice little puzzle game. 5 spins out of 5.
Love the art style, the mix between the visuals and the audio and music creates an uncanny atmosphere that matches the game very well.
On the play side of the game, it could be a little more explained what to do. I collected my 3 blood samples and now know who the shapeshifter is, but I don’t know what to do to subdue it jeje.
Love the art direction, both the visuals and audio. Also very creative idea an implementation. I think idk what is right and left on wheels jsjsj, maybe clock-wise counter clock wise would be better(?
Love the art style and the music, it gives a very eerie atmosphere to the game, I could see how one could get catch on the vibe of the game and want to know more of each monster behavior.
As some comments say, it would be nice to have subtitles for the instruction audio, especially for those of us whose English isn’t our native language jeje.
Hi, you’re welcome, thx you for publishing it. Now 46 is my high score, I could do this all day ;)
Now I plugged in my controller and found out that the game is much more manageable with a controller than with keyboard controls. On my first tries I was using A and D to turn little by little instead of using the arrow keys to rotate quickly to x direction. This 2 ways of control the player give a different difficult as it requires more or less reaction time. Also, the 180 spin on arrow is slower than the one on control, so that it’s also a difference between the player controller.
Cool game! I love the idea of the revolver and how every reload is a gamble.
Maybe it’s a lot to ask for a game jam, but it would be nice to see some custom movement patterns for the enemies. For example, they could follow you while maintaining some distance from each other, making it easier for them to surround you. You could also play a little more with their speed. Making some enemies run as fast as the player would help avoid the strategy of just running in circles while keeping all the enemies in a line.
Also, I love the art for the player character! ^^ I would also make it so they look where you’re aiming instead of where you’re moving.
For clicker games, I think it’s very important to make everything else catchy, like having addictive sounds and animations that react to what’s happening. The idea is to kind of hide the fact that the player is only clicking by showing different reactions with visual and audio feedback. Also, it would be good to make the upgrades feel more impactful, so when you get them, they hit that obsessive milestone chasing part of the brain.
Hi! Firstly, thank you very much for playing our game.
Yeah, that part could have a little more clarity on what to do. The idea is to align the core satellite with its parts by spinning each one so they attach to the core. There’s a red line showing where each anchor point is heading, and when a part’s anchor aligns with an anchor on the core, it starts moving to attach to it.
If you want to give it a second try, there’s an ending cinematic waiting for you after that level. ;)
Beybladeeees! I like how you implemented different types of enemies.
Maybe it could benefit to have a little more dynamism, like the more RPM you have, the further your hits send enemies. You could also gain RPM back instead of it only being a cooldown, or something like that.
Nicee, the game hooks you and make you want to increase your high score naturally, so that’s a good sign. Currently, my high score is 35.
I just think maybe it needs a little more adjustment to the difficulty so you have more time to react when enemies come from the bottom of the screen at high velocity. It could be something like the camera being a little further back, or the enemies slowing down after they hit you (I think this one is pretty common in games like this).
