I think it is a very ambicious idea, and it would be great if you continue with it or something similar after the jam ends :) I think it is very original, and you can get infinite results mixing genes. Good work!
Absolutely, I agree that this has so much potential with the number of outputs that can occur. We've already started re-planning some of our original requirements and we're hoping to make it into a full game someday. It'll take lots of time but I think it'll definitely be worth the effort =) Thank you for feedback! We really appreciate it!
Definitely a funny idea combining animals and food into new creatures. Just when you think you've seen it all, you're greeted by a chocolate banana hippo snake running right towards you. I can't say I've seen that before. Novelty all around, nice job!
I agree that some of the animals are... interesting, to say the least haha. Actually, a lot of what we were doing here kept reminding me of the ridiculousness of Dr. Mephesto from South Park. I hope we'll improve the game and the animal AI with time so one day you can possibly even fight the chocolate banana hippo snake! Thank you for playing!
There are some neat details in this. I like the controls and changing the appearance of the robot based on their upgrades is a nice touch.
Thank you! Our intention is to eventually have stats related to the upgrades as well (e.g. a metal trashcan would take more damage than a plastic recycle bin) but we definitely didn't have time for that with the jam =( But now we have a pet project to work on to keep improving our AI and programming skills with unlimited potential for improvements.
Loved the cute robot and the concept! Even though you weren't able to fully execute all of your ideas, it's still a funny game with a nice graphic!
Thank you! We really did try to get the game play fully functional but our ideas were too big for 7 days and new learning experiences. But now we have something to work towards and improve upon =)
Interesting concept and story. I wish this could've been executed to your guys' vision but what you have it still an accomplishment! That notes section is too real lol
We also wish our vision had been executed :'( lol. Gamejams are a great reminder of how easy it is to overscope and of what unexpected roadblocks will come up in a project. Thanks for playing!
The various animals sporting a variety of different parts is pretty cool. Its a shame the interactions with them are a bit limited but the overall presentation is great, the camera movements are a nice touch.
Thanks for playing! This was my first time playing with the 2.5D style and I really like visually how it came out. Though agreed there are a lot of interactions that are missed out on.
Nice concept, the cutout style is very nice. And is fun to just walk around as that little robot.
The creatures don't do damage, right?
Not yet, but the idea is to have them show different types of aggression based on how the environment changes over time. So, eventually they will do damage to the player and other creatures.
Thank you for the compliments!
