I haven't played yet, but that looks really good. I love throat singing, and I think its really cool that you used it! (at least in the trailer)

Right? Me too lol

I recommend Heels on Fire. Its great, and really funny! https://zahkros.itch.io/heels-on-fire

I agree

The screams are great, and I love the art and concept :) Good job!
Character controls are good. Would have liked to remap though.

"I did run into a bug, if you try to buy a planet higher than the cheapest one you haven't bought yet, it takes the money but doesn't unlock it"
Thank you so much!
That's one we haven't encountered yet. We'll add it to the list of things to fix.
Also thank you for playing our game :) it means a lot!

Its our first game jam submission too. I don't think we have to do anything. From watching other game jams, they all do stuff a little different regarding this. But you will know for sure when the winners are announced. I hope this helps :)

If it was a streamer not representing as a judge, I wouldn't have said a thing, because yes that is part of releasing a game, and expected.  
I've been a part of many juried shows and I guess I just had a certain expectation of professionalism regarding judges.
Harsh criticism, yes. Direct insults towards whole groups of people while acting as a judge, no.
We can handle people being really mean, so I'm happy this happened to us and not some kid.
I wouldn't want them to get discouraged.
My stance is: Extreme bias in a judge is not good for a competition, because it causes competitors to lose faith in their chances and encourages researching judges and playing to what they like.
His personal opinion is totally fine, and we want to know things like that. it helps us understand where our market is.

One did, but I don't think they do that as a standard.

How does a biased judge not concern everyone? We don't know what other game genes he doesn't like.

I don't understand , did i mistype something?
We don't care what people think of our game. That's not the issue.

Our point is that we don't care what he thinks of us.
This is not fair to others. He isn't judging, just insulting people and calling them c**buckets.
We know people won't like our game., that's fine.
This has nothing to do with our game, it has to do with fairness as a judge on other peoples games. That's why I posted this.

Someone clipped one of the worst parts.

Our point is that as a judge he is supposed to be unbiased. We don't care that he doesn't like it. There is a difference between harsh criticism and being nasty for no reason. We want criticism, it's needed to get better. But that's not what he did. 

Also, thankfully we are not kids and are confidant in what we want to do and achieve. If this was said to a kid, it could crush them and make them not want to make games again.  Kinda the opposite of what Thor is always saying to people. 

Hello, I'm the marketing and art person for our team. We submitted a game for the game jam, and recently one of the judges was streaming his votes. We have been harshly critiqued before and we welcome that (Godot showreel submission).

Our coder linked our game as ExcessiveProfanity was asking for games to judge.

What Zector (our coder) expected was constructive criticism. We love and welcome that, we want to be polarizing and understand that people may hate the games we make.

The issue I'm having after watching the stream of his reaction to our game, is the clear bias and insults towards people who play games like the one we made, and people who make those types of games. (not our first choice for a genre either).

Having been involved in organizing events for judging, I find that this is not fair to the other people that also entered the game jam.

Our game and consequently the others that are also in the same genre, are going to be not judged on their merits, but rather the judges' very open hatred for the genre, and possibly others too. Hating something is fine, but what he did crossed the line into nasty. Insults are not feedback.

Here is the link to the vod of the stream (can't timestamp) but it starts at 2hrs 36min,  (2hrs 40 min is when it gets nasty)

I am not writing this in any way to attempt to change our score. We know we won't win, and for us winning is not the point. Our goal was to learn and get better at what we do.

I am writing this for the other teams in the jam as I feel that this judge is not judging games on their merit but rather through bias, and that is not fair for a competition, especially when 30k is on the line. The winner deserves to win by their merit and not by the bias of a judge.

I broke your game. seems there is no kill box at the bottom. hit boxes seem off somehow.
Aside from that good job :)

Nice take on the theme. It did get a little laggy with a lot of entities loaded in though.

OK this is funny! I really like it. No bugs that I could find :) One of the more original takes I've seen with the theme. 

Thank you for the report! We found that after after submissions were closed already. And we do intend to fix it.
Thank you for playing our game!

The movement and animations feel really, really nice.  I like the spell cast mechanic  its different. However it seems harder to cast fire than frost.
I did get stuck and didn't know what to do, and I feel like I soft locked myself in with the goo. 
It wasn't clear in game what the spell casts purpose was, but it did look pretty :)
Music starts out  loud and would have like a volume slider.
The sound effects are nice and fit with everything.

Reading the other comments helped and I'll try the game again to see if I can get farther :)
Over all good job !
thank you, thank you, thank you, for making nice feeling controls!!
Its usually so over looked, but so important.

Yes! We fully intend on updating it once the jam concludes so we can add what we couldn't in the time frame and polish/fix bugs here and there. Ty so much for playing, it means a lot to us :)

nice job! only critique I have is that the shooter moves in too high increments and that makes it hard to shoot stuff right in front of you.

good job! i like the concept a lot.
i do feel like the controls need to be refined a bit more, but you probably also were fighting time :)

I do it to see how well my marketing works. (what works and what doesn't).
but yeah it does feel really good to see that someone played your game and I like to use the marketing excuse to justify it lol :)

exactly!

Sadly we ran out of time :( but we did want to get many more planets and moons in.  We also wanted comets and asteroids. Plus many other features. But that's for a future update :)

yes, you are a wise soul! thank you :)

this was fun! good job :)

thank you! :) we worked hard to swat all the bugs.

well done! Also thank you for putting it as a web version :)
