This is one of the better jam submissions I've seen on Itch lately. It is still very rough around the edges, but given its large scope and short deadline, that can be pardoned.
Pretty good! The core gameplay is awesome. But, to make this game really shine, there are a couple fixes:
1. Integration of the guide above into the actual game. I didn't read all that before downloading and nobody should have to.
2. Jumping from the lowest platform onto another platform was impossible for me. I'm sure y'all could, but as a player who hasn't touched this game yet, I wasn't able to climb up. This made it super difficult to survive later levels where enemies were shooting lasers into my face.
But, like I said, great game. Might be the best in the jam.
I'm looking to make a name for myself this jam with something small that is still spectacular. I got Dall-E to make an uglier version of what I generally want the game to look like, and here is its (ugly and incomplete) concept art. Trees with vines, shrooms, flowers, a big river and waterfall, and lots of fireflies will give it a nice polished look. Gameplay is simple, as is the lore. You just find an enchanted garden hidden within a forest, and you're there to bring home some pictures. If this sounds cool, DM me on Discord: Lord Starbuilder#0900
Hi there! I can't proclaim to be an expert on Godot 4 but I jumped right on board as soon as Godot 4 was available (before it was even released). I'd love to work with you . My tag is Lord Starbuilder#0900.
I just watched Markiplier play this game and I found it to be the one I liked the least. For a myriad of complicated reasons, it made me extremely uncomfortable. I'm going to download it anyway, for reasons I really don't understand. Take this as a compliment. Very few games have proven so good at horror that even my thrill seeker self doesn't like them.
This game is not fun. It looks nice, controls are great, core mechanic is interesting, but the combat is awful and you have a 100% chance of dying in 5 minutes. No explanation of the combat mechanics either, icons on the bottom right seem nonsensical and disconnected. Slow down the enemies some, increase the number of scrap spawns, and give NPCs actual attacks
Eh, idk. Looked up "Arrokoth" which turned up nothing (a minor annoyance, being a big fan of the dented peanut rock), and the planets seem to have some texture artifacts as well as just a level of blurriness that shouldn't be possible if LOD is being applied (there are high-res images of many of these objects I'm pretty sure, surely there's high-res textures too?). Scale seems aight. Controls are atrocious. GUI is almost unreadable. Not sure if this is unique to WINE. I'd ask for the source but I don't, can't and won't use Unity.
I am of the opinion that all software that is publicly available should also have a publicly-available source. If it gets put on GitHub I could make a branch or fork and merge in the Linux compatibility tech if I got the time. A little effort for your audience increasing. If you won’t do that, I rescind my interest in the game entirely.
This game is entirely unplayable. It crashed my computer and there is no Alt+F4 failsafe like most games. I couldn't interact with anything, and my cursor was still visible which was annoying. Please just keep the Alt+F4 next time, and tell me how to play the game, somewhere, even if it's on the game page.
Due to your gracious sharing of all the source files, I have taken the allotted liberty of fixing some things about your game. Could you contact me on Discord via Lord Starbuilder#5322?
