Really fun experimentation game, the Art and variety is amazing ! It did become hard past a point scrolling through all the pages though haha, suffering from success!
Amazing game, I loved the art, the animations and the ambiance ! The game loop was fun.
Unfortunately, I did encounter a few bugs which soft locked me and forced me to restart (though they were not UI scaling issues like other encountered), BUT the game was good enough for me to power through and finish it still !
Of course, I didn't read the instructions !! So I ended up filling the bar to the max, thinking it would trigger something, or an event might happen ? but no haha, I had to press R to create a mutation ! That'll teach me to jump right in !
I liked the idea of letting the player fill the bar to a certain level to "gamble" for upgrades, that was a nice touch!
Fun little side scroller, kinda wished I had a volume control because my browser was LOUD hahah but I liked the riff, I really liked that units have OnDamaged animations !
That would be surprising, the grass is entirely shader animated and pushed inside a Godot MultiMesh, making us able to render it in a single draw call, and our map being roughly 15x15 Godot units, there just isn't much geometry to compute. The game even runs on my phone from 2020 at 12 FPS,
We've also got others who have been praising the performance, so it is pretty confusing. Do you mind me asking what grade of Hardware you are using ? I'd love to be able to find possible causes and reasonable fixes for anyone trying to play, or learn something about optimization!
Hey Thanks, though, that is surprising, I'm sorry to hear you had issues, if you're looking to troubleshoot, I would say to check that your Internet Browser has GPU ACCELERATION : Enabled, because without it, the game will be rendered with the CPU, which will slow it down considerably, otherwise, you can also try it on the Native Windows PC build or on another browser
Thanks ! It means a lot. We tried making the game have some sort of "life" with our limited means and time. Happy to know you appeciated the effort in customization !
Haha yeah, I'm glad you appreciated the Jumbotron, thank you ! And yeah we've heared a few times the expectations of Multiplayer, which, sure we would have loved to have the manpower and time to do it, but also in the context of a Jam, it might be hard to find other players to play with so I think we landed on a good middle ground, who knows what the future holds though !
Hey ! Thanks for trying out the game, I'm sorry to hear that you had issues with the game running ? We've actually heard people have quite a different experience with the performance. Hopefully this could help you troubleshoot, but, make sure you have GPU Acceleration enabled for you Browser, otherwise the game will run on your CPU and probably badly yeah, otherwise you can try the Windows PC build instead of the web version, at the bottom of the page, or try on another Web Browser maybe ? I hope things work out for you, thanks again for giving it a try, and we welcome you to tell us if you ever manage to fix the performance issues !
Really nice and fun game, those pixelized post letters are so lovely ! And their animations are great. My Yip farm was not ethical. I also got a Yip kind of stuck into the top left pen corner :'(
Thank you ! It means a lot, we put a lot of effort in crafting everything ourselves. And you're right, not a single item is purely Cosmetic in they game, they all have gameplay influences, even though some are small, even the Faces too ! We unfortunately did get starved on time before being able to do any Sound Design, but we prioritized having a functionnal game loop, which we finished just in time. As for the money scaling, there is a formula put in place, which is based on if you win/lose and the level of the race (for exemple a win is: add_currency(25 + current_race_level * 3)), we didn't have time to animate the earning though, which would probably have helped communicate that better
An interesting concept, it was a bit difficult, there was indeed a bit of a learning curve with the controls, or maybe they didn't work well on my browser
