Found the bug just before the deadline so didnt have time to fix it and resubmit.
The teleport can be tricky but once you get the timing and watch the enemy it can be avoided. I think it could use a sound cue as well in case your not watching.
I like the idea, my biggest issue was the hit boxes. When trying to go fast I would grab the edge of the controller and it wouldn't register, I had to grab it right in the middle.
I got stuck in the options screen and couldn't get back to the main menu.
I then reloaded the game and was clicking in hopes of going through the splash screens quicker and ended up in the credits menu... and couldn't get out.
Not sure if I just didn't see the way or if there is no keyboard/mouse button to get out?
Once I actually got in it was pretty good. I think it is a little too easy thought because I didn't loose any hearts if I didn't move the laundry from the washer to the dryer or out of the dryer in time.
Overall I liked it but it started to get a repetitive, just falling as fast as possible. I also ended up dying because I landed on an enemy I couldn't see... not sure what the solution to that is.
Also nice job on procedural generation of the levels.
There were a few times when the coins dropped in a wall and I couldn't get it. And a couple of ghosts seemed really hard to hit, like the little orange puddle like ones. I actually died to them because I couldn't hit them. Might work better if you could aim the beam instead of having to click on the ghost. I'm also not sure if my gun ever overloaded...
The was a fun game. I liked how you worked the theme into it and I enjoyed my time with it.
The spawning seemed a little strange. Sometimes I would get all tall guys and sometimes I would get all orb guys. When you have 10+ orb guys shooting at you it gets tough to get the bodies in the grinder!
I agree with Philos that I would have liked to se the theme have more influence but you made a fun game that I enjoyed playing. First game of this jam that I actually finished.
The purple snowblower was a pain! Way to big for that tiny driveway... just like my neighbours!
I had a lot of fun with this game. My biggest issue was that sometimes I didn't have the pieces I needed and had to drop a bunch until I got them, especially the T connectors.
I also wish I could skip the intro. I would like to play some more to see if I can set a new high score but it takes a long time to actually get into the game.
For level one you have to stay close enough to make it angry. It likes it's personal space!
Feel free to use it in your video. It is a game jam game that my 10 year old son and I worked on together. He is the lead designer and I implement. So it is lacking some polish.
Thanks for the feedback, main reason for the rotation is because I was going to add some obstacles but didn't get to it and every once and awhile a leaf will get stuck on an edge and rotating it will let you get to it.
I did think the opening cut scene was a little lone, I though that was all it was going to be at first since I couldn't do anything except move the giant leaf with my mouse!
Overall I think it was well done. The only thing I would like to see is visual changes of the leaves well they are on the tree. I had the first leaf and then I was sitting there waiting for them to change, must have had bad luck/timing because every time I clicked a tree they were still the same leaves!
Finally I got all the leaves and set about finding the recipes. I liked that discovery aspect of the game, well done!
Although I really liked the story it would be nice to be able to skip the dialog, not sure I want to sit through it every time if I wanted to play again.
