Thank you for the review! I agree with the hit boxes, and in hindsight, i should've either made them a TAD bit bigger, or had them scale depending on how close the monsters are to each other! That way they wouldn't overlap, but if there was a singular monster in the middle of an open space it would be easier to pick up.
Thank you for the feedback! We were wondering about the hit boxes, but ultimately decided not to just cause we didn't want them to overlap too much if monsters were next to eachother, Making it harder to pick up the monsters you want....I want to make a QoL update that includes scaling hit boxes that scale depending on how close the monsters are to each other! Its good to know that someone else also sees this issue! Thank you!
100%. Thanks for the feedback. Next time I will make a game that satisfies both the hardcore gamer 100%ers, and the casual 'I want satisfying gameplay i don't care about being the best' bruhs.
I totally agree! I did not realize how inaccessible i had made the games difficulty due to play testing it so many times. I thought the difficulty was perfect for a newcomer, but i guess i was off by a bit :( We live and learn, though!
Thank you for the kind words! and i also agree that making it jiggle sooner is a good idea! Was thinking of implementing some QoL stuff just as as a small update after the rating period!
Of course! YES. The very first level confused me a lot the first time I played it.
The first level:
This is partially due to my misunderstanding of the mechanics-
One of the rules was something like "Cant be placed next to a wooden Utensil", and then I see a knife with a wooden handle, which makes me think "Oh this is not supposed to go next to the fork", so I don't place it next to the fork... But the description of the knife does NOT say wooden, so therefore the knife is NOT wooden, its plastic. Visually that is not the case, as it is the most wooden utensil in that aspect....
I think that summary of the first level kind of played out for all the levels... I understood the mechanics after the first level, but its all through reading, and nothing is indicated visually, if that makes sense?? So i have to read what each utensil is rather than being able to just tell by looking at it.
I am NOT trying to bash your game in any way, and these are just my personal opinions! I REALLY enjoyed this game. It is definitely top 3 out of the ones I've played so far :)
Good fun! Really like the concept! Some levels were a bit confusing, but overall I think this Game is really fun! I ended up getting through about 4 or 5 levels!
Really Enjoyed it! Very unique concept! Got past level 10! Great job! Nothing to critique, controls are smooth, art is great, OST is good. Really enjoyed it!
Thank you for trying out our submission! That is a totally fair assessment! I 100% agree that there is a LOT of clicking and dragging. You should've been able to toss them? But Even so, it would be nice to have an easier method to move them around... I did find it a bit cumbersome to get the monsters out from corners.
Even after reading the dev's description, I don't quite see how this game follows the theme of the jam. However, The game itself is quite fun! I ended up playing a few rounds... What made me go 'What??' is that i thought there were going to be multiple weapon slots, but it turns out, i think, that there is only 1 weapon slot, and the rest are for armor?
That's my main complaint about this submission. Other than that one thing, I really did like it! Great job!
I appreciate the feedback! sadly this game is not super accessible for anyone without a mouse :((( but thank you for the kind words about the music! Next time I will make the game easier and more accessible.
Neat little game I was able to beat it in a minute or 2 which is perfect for a game jam!
Maybe adding a restart or 'go to menu' button at the end would have been nice, but overall the game was great! and great job for diving into your first project!
Hey thanks for playing! Im happy you were able to get all the way through! i did not realize that the upgrades were no longer working until the game jam deadline was already past :( my biggest regret.
Oh yeah! The tutorial was the last thing i worked on and i ran out of time :(((, but you click the attack you want to do, then click the enemy you want to attack!
thank you! The artist(Cherry) worked so hard on all the sprites over the course of the jam so HUGE shout out to her! The game wouldn't have looked nearly as good if she weren't a part of it
And HUGE shout out to our Music guy, Meurlyn, aswell! Super nice track for the game
All 3 of us came up with the idea for the core gameplay, and we didn't actually get to do the part that we thought would've been the most entertaining, which was to have little 5 second mini games attached to each intractable object.
