This should hopefully work for you. What you have so far looks really cool!

Yeah in retrospect I would've made this unranked and made it 1.5-2 weeks given the goal. Live and learn! I'll keep an eye out for a link. Thanks for participating!

If you give me the link to your game, I can generate a late submission url for you to use. Keep in mind though that the voting period is only three days. If you think you won't finish by 9/11 at midnight (EST), I'd still encourage you to work at your own pace. I'd love to play it whenever it's done!

This is a casual jam, the prize for the winner being their game linked at the bottom of the jam's overview page.

Go for it. That goes for anyone else as well. If you think the few extra days would do you some good, feel free to start early. I might tweak the jam duration in the future if one week doesn't feel like enough development time.

Thanks as always for hosting!

Time limit aside, this is a really cool and well executed game!

Thanks!

Thanks! .NET DataTable was a huge help, kept me from having to do any of the calculations myself. Though you can break it pretty quickly by stacking all of the mathematical operators to one side haha

Thanks!

Haha, that's what I get for not saving time to debug

Thanks!

Thanks! Just goes to show how tough an hour is. In my 5 minutes of play testing I didn't manage to find that bug at all haha

Thanks! I'm glad I was around for another one, such a fun game jam

This is a really cool idea, fun game!

Nice game! That tight timing when weaving between cars was surprisingly difficult, gave me a nice challenge!

Thanks!!

Thanks! And yep, that was exactly how I interpreted it.

If you're still trying to find a team, mine is looking for Unity programmers! @fireheron on discord

If you're still trying to find a team, my team is looking for a programmer! Add @fireheron on discord

No worries!

Hi! If you're interested, my team is looking for a programmer for our Unity / C# project. My discord is @fireheron

Hi! If you're still looking for a team, My team's working on a Unity game and could use another coder. My discord is @fireheron

I don't, sorry. The asset packs I'm planning to use are pretty comprehensive.

Added!

Hey! I wasn't able to find you on Discord. Try finding me instead maybe? @fireheron

Hi everyone! I'd love to team up with some people on this game jam. I already have a 2D fantasy asset pack with animated characters and enemies that I think will be perfect for this. I've created procedurally generated levels before using these assets (Game link with screenshots to get an idea of the art style), but never for a roguelike. I'm looking for people with programming and / or audio design skills to make something fun!


Disclaimer: I'm only able to work on this March 2nd to the morning of March 7th as I'll be out of town after that

Thank you!

that was a wild ride haha. really well polished game. the story was interesting and, without the time constraints of the game jam, could grow into something special. only minor thing was an issue with the apostrophe not showing up in the text box for me, just a box with numbers in it.

the screen was so cut off that i couldn't play the game, nor get a very good idea of what i'm supposed to be doing.

i like the concept, very solid and can lead to an exciting precision-platforming puzzle game. however it feels pretty misleading to teach players that each color related to a certain size ball, and then immediately go back on it with level 3 telling players that yellow is now random. i think random size platforms could be a fine mechanic if indicated by a different color, but then again it also feels a bit unfair to the player to make success random in a precision movement game.

the size controls could also be easier to pick up if they were in line (a, s, d for example), or configurable even.


the collision could use a bit of polish as well. I was able to move through walls as the ball grew even though it was the incorrect size for that color. it looks like you're using a box collider on a circular character, which is a little visually confusing to me. i could see a circular player collider being difficult to work with so maybe try out a square player.

one last minor thing, in the tutorial i fell off underneath the z platform and the level didn't reset. i ended up having to reload the page.

fun game! a little menu navigation polish would go a long way (having the car and level selection be choices made after clicking start rather than being prerequisites for example). Also the wheel spin was a bit confusing. In my mind, it should be clear where the "win point" is on the wheel (even if the spinning wheel visual is totally unrelated to the random roll happening in the code). Think of how counter strike does their loot boxes and how there's build up wondering what item you're going to land on. one other very minor thing was that my car was facing sideways at the start of levels 1 and 2.

Great idea for a memory game, super fun and easy to pick up. Only real critique I can think of is to make sure the next net doesn't spawn too close to where the fish is. I accidentally swam into one while waiting for the next set of food. Might not be feasible in order to keep players from forcing nets to spawns in certain places, but maybe something to test out.

Nice little text adventure. I'd think about how to make your interaction more user friendly, keeping everything within a single screen if possible. I had to scroll down to see the options (which I didn't even notice at first). Try out buttons over hyperlinks for more visibility as well.
