Nice submission! Good amount of variety for a game jam so kudos on that. I really thought the golems would be the best and so I just spammed them. They failed me in the end.
Though I would love more options for a story based game (my preference). I love how you tell stories. I don’t know what you do but even in A Dark Room the vagary just keeps me wanting to play.
I hate the dev ;). You don’t know how many times I fell down a dark hole I had no idea were it lead and fell for what felt like eternity and yelled at myself ‘NOOOOO’. To soon find out I needed to go that way. That was until I got sent all the way back to the beginning.
Fantastic game the art utilized was amazing and the confusion I went through kept me playing and utilized almost all my lunch. This was probably due to the fact I rarely used the signs ha. Good to see what came of all of your dark magic over in the discord.
Super interesting idea. I had a fun time playing. Figuring out how to make chicken bodied animals was fun.
The Good:
I enjoyed trying to get my breeding economy up and running.
Discovering how to use the Fuse-O-Matic was enjoyable.
The sprites were colorful and fun to look at!
The Bad:
I didn’t get enough time to start a proper breeding program.
Time limit on the delivery was a challenge, but might have been to much of a challenge since orders of more than one didn’t seem to scale. It felt like the amount of time was the same for larger orders. I am just a one man shop. How am I supposed to fulfill those orders ;).
Super interesting idea. Love how it came out and played really smooth.
The UI is pretty awesome as well, nice an crisp. Did you add different curse types as the game progressed? Like the toilet seemed to happen once toward the middle.
Fun stuff. I love the harpoon reel in. My personal goal was to get fish on the back harpoon. I definitely found that until about 300m the game was easy and I did not have to swim or move. Though the hypnotic harpoon made the journey better. Great work for a 48 hour game!
Welcome to the community! Hope to see your first game project in Dragonruby! We love to share all that we make in the show and tell part of the discord server, so do show it off. Game development can be rough, but the show and tell is a great way to get ideas, and supporting comments through out development. Hope to see you around discord!
Hello folks. I am Austin Meyer! I am currently in my last semester of college at CSU Chico to acquire a BS in Computer Science. I hope to break into the industry of game development either at a Triple A, indie, or personal studio (i.e. my house :) ). Other than that I will probably persue intermediate jobs in other software companies.
