Incredible art, I love the scribbles animations and the bouncing FIGHT text, so good. Well written, super polished. Thanks for making this!
the humor used was clean & smooth, the visuals were good also. the controls felt responsive. Overall : ALMOST EXCELLENT GAME.
This game is really fun. I enjoyed it a lot. The art and the sound are very good. Good Job. It looked like it took a lot of work.
Obviously, really cool art. The cut scenes go on a bit long but did give me a few chuckles. The gameplay feels smooth. I like the kickback from shooting it adds some extra interest to the game-loop.
Some projectiles are kinda hard to see at the corner of your eye. Pair that with not much of an affect when you take damage and its not always obvious when I lose a heart. On that front as well, there isn't really a sound for when I actually hit the boss (although the shaking of the health bar partially makes up for that).
Boss design was quite nice. Felt well paced for a game jam. The variation of projectiles was neat and the visual designs/concepts were cool. I laughed when I realized I was dodging equations.
All in all, Bucket is the best.
Great game! I specially loved the writing, it was really fun reading everythig, it's exactly the kind of humor I enjoy. It's an all around good game, nice sound, art, gameplay, and great writing, congratulations on a great job!
Such a polished game! The art direction is incredible! :D
Really well written game, with great art and a fun concept. I found the game to be a bit easy until I got to the last boss, who was really hard, and I couldn鈥檛 beat, which is a shame, because I really loved that character. All in all, amazing narrative, really cool style, and extremely impressive for only 1 month of work!
thank you so much for your feedback :) There is a onepunch mode if you want to see the end of the story
The writer is super talented. I loved, loved, loved the writing, really.
The art was cool, the music was cool, the gameplay was cool.
I'm really sad that I couldn't kill the last boss and have the last piece of writing... the game was too laggy for my low-end computer, I'm really sad. :-(
Super nice entry, super nice writing. GG !
thank you so much! There is a onepunch mode if you want to see the end of the story
Are there multiple endings ? I did not understand the a b c thing.
yep it鈥檚 something we added because we couldn鈥檛 decide on an ending. It will just change the last dialogue with Sakura
You missed the sounds and the music, Amazing art! All the bosses felt the same, they would have like: a short range attack(not bullets).
yeah bit more variety on the bosses would've been good for the game :)
Thanks for the feedback.
Actually there is sound and music for this game, I don't know why it did not work on your side
all those story panels are so well drawn! I love the pencil in the menu thing, really smart. I thought the arrow attacks were very confusing (had no idea when they would randomly speed up or change direction) and the heart attacks were a tad confusing given that our health is also hearts
Loved the art direction, tons of narrative and story. I didn't read it all but it reminded me a lot like our own submission. The whole school/bully/aspect. I think your game is much more polished than our own....somewhere between level 2-3 it went all red and stay that way? Not sure if that was intended. I didn't like that, but overall it was pretty descent on all the things 4/5. Please check out our project if you have time!
Thanks
Ooh! I love the hand-drawn art style. The story was hilarious and the use of the theme was pretty smart. I would鈥檝e liked to see a little more variety in the bosses and a little more use of the theme but other than that, well done!
Absolutely love the art style and story, even if it is a bit disproportionate to the bullet hell gameplay. Great humour and a very clever interpretation of the theme, well done!
thanks you so much! Was a real blast to making it
I am unable to understand how you managed to do all that in a single month. Great art and sense of humor.
thank you so much for your comment... yeah our artist is a machine 鉂わ笍
