Great little story. I know what I'd be getting up too if I could summon high speed Glizzys out of my staff. It's a little confusing that it says game over if you win or lose but makes sense in the story. I'd love to see the expanded cannon of the Glizzy Galaxy in a sequel. Great Job!
Loved hanging out with my flock of ducks. Really satisfying to gather a horde, which does protects you while you charge at a hunter and annihilate a hunter with overwhelming quantities of bird strikes. When a hoard gets really large it can fell like your revive range is a little small when in order to pickup fallen allies you need to have a hunter inside of the flock, so increasing the pickup range with flock size could make it feel like an exponential power growth.
Very fun game, not exceptionally well balanced, I got 8k meat before my game crashed. Pretty top notch all around, addicting and attractive. It's like a tower defence but more spammy, all my rats are good boys and girls, defending me while I ponder my orb.
My highscore is 1160. Really exceptional Sounds and animations, I particularly like the laser eye tower. Maybe an option to allow you to restore some hearts at your campfire would give a reason to leave some path open to your campfire as currently there isn't a reason to not surround it with an impenetrable defence and just circle around the outside. Enemy variety could make the game more interesting if you were suddenly stuck with a slow character that couldn't as easily outrun the bullets would spice the gameplay up.
Great job on putting such a cohesive experience together!
The player character is great, cute animations when driving and falling, adding an animation while they're pushing is the only state that feels like it's missing. Good job!
Great work on the visuals the telegraphing of the snake's entry is particularly good, some really good squash and stretch. The snakes themselves are also excellently done, with the screenshake and the particles whooshing past at incredible speed is really effective for making them feel like they're going to do more than just take a bite out of you.
The first level is a great sort of tutorial introducing to the ways the snakes can come in from the sides as well as a group taking out a bunch of bites at once.
I think the second level is the hardest, it can be a little unclear where snakes are going to be when there are multiple attacks being telegraphed in the same place, as the snakes can cover up the indicators for where the next one is going to be.
I think the music is a great fit and I was jamming along to it while playing the levels, at it feels thematically in line with the goofy looking snakes.
Making things rotate in the right spot is always tricky, it's quite satisfying to zoom upwards in the level. There isn't much of a game here yet but you've laid a good framework and getting those first elements to interact is a great stride in the right direction. I look forward to your next years submission and good job on your speedy efforts this year!
It looks great, the stretch and squash on the cannon with the huge plume of fire make it fun to shoot. It doesn't feel like there is a lot of strategy to the game and I'm unsure how to play better. Despite that I feel very proud of my high score of 45. I'd like to see more elements indicating how I'm doing like an indication of how long before the humans have before the explode, I think that would add more decision making opportunities. I also liked the UI you've created, the high score tracker makes it all the more tempting to have one more go to try and beat your best score.
My high score is only 5 :(. Enjoyable game and the controls are immediately clear. I didn't expect to relive my hatred for that stupid bird since I uninstalled flappy bird all those years ago so this was quite nostalgic. 2 suggestions; the ability to cut out a gap anywhere along the pipe would make the controls feel more precise. Maybe making the bird not jump when they're very close to the pipe would make the game feel more fair as I often hit the bottom edge of the top pipe at the last second. When I do die I like how the bird wobbles as they hit the ground, it's very cathartic seeing that stupid bird eat it after ruining my run.
