Wow! Thank you for your elaborate feedback. This is very useful! :D
I was planning to fix the game this marathon, but I already had a different idea for a new kind of game. Nonetheless, I will make a post-jam version of this game. Also, giving your analysis helps me developing future game to look at my games that way (e.g. what genres am I actually combining and how do I get the most out of it?) :)
I had fun playing the game. But after a couple of attempts at the spikes with falling down and using the dash at the right time, I wished there was some way for a player to make the hard parts a bit easier. For example, that you get points for every run and spend them to make parts of the level easier. For example a consumable for a slow fall.
On first instance I thought: “Oh, no. Is this a horror game”. Then I saw it was hide-and-seek. A fun idea. You should keep elaborating on this in the marathon :D
Wow! This one was really good. Didn’t know what to expect, but when I saw the graphics.. and with fun gameplay.. Good job! I think it would be nice if some lives were added and a way to grab more lives.
Congrats! Really nice to hear. Enjoyed your game a lot too. I already heard some suggestions from others who played it. Do you have some specific suggestions for improvements?
Maybe you could do something interesting with the souls… Their names are on the background, but what if you would make that a bit more of a prominent thing? I think it’s something that adds character to your game besides the art (which is fantastic). Maybe a smaller amount of souls at a time and make them visible as moving sprites throughout the game or something like that? Maybe that you can see the name of every soul if you click on them when as they fly around?
One of the few jam games that actually have a longer run. Good job! When I saw the intimidation meter and the miner, I thought I was going to dig all the way down :p
Good game. I know it’s a minor thing for a jam game, but are you planning to add controller support? And I would say that the relaxed pace of the game is actually a strength, so I would suggest to keep that. Would be really good to have another game that can be played on a lazy sunday morning ;p
Thanks for playing the game! I was afraid that adding an aiming line would make the game too easy. Also, I heard that in a previous comment: that it’s not clear which character is the player. A suggestion was made to encircle the player on the ground. Would that also be a good solution to you, or do you might have another suggestion? :)
I think it’s a good building block for a bigger game. I guess you make something that would feel like you break the fourth wall? Suddendly you have a fallout and something completely unexpected happens? Idk, it turns in an action game? Or a Stanley Parable thingy? That would cool! :D
Good game. Looking really nice. And good game concept. I had to restart the level once due to a bug. In one of the last levels, a vessel circles around the island. When I hit the vessel from the front, the cannonball gets stuck in mid-air and the vessel just keeps circling.
Made a solid 50 bux the first run. It really appealed to me that it all started with a funny story/intro. It really gave the game a lot polish and felt more being sucked into the game.
I tried to played it, but it wasn’t perfectly clear what I was actually doing. I figured out the movement and the turn-based idea and the killing for food, but how do these abilities work on the left. Are they just selected with clicking and then they auto-atk?
