How does your game fit the theme?
There are periods of Calm before the storm.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes I did, I made all the code and all of the sprites, however I did download all audio files from Pixabay.

Such a polished game! The SFX are great, the pixel art is great, the gameplay loop was great, and so on. I really think this is a perfect example of a game MADE for a Jam. The partials were nice along with everything else. My only suggestion: WAY LESS DIFFICULT. The game was CRAZY hard, even on easy mode. I once heard someone say, "Make the game to the difficulty YOU would like. Then, since you will always be better than most players at your game, make it three times easier." Overall, 9.5/10. Sadly, I cannot rate because I did not submit our game. If you would like to play our game (please do), here is the link:
Rate FRACK! by woutan for Brackeys Game Jam 2024.2 - itch.io
keep in mind that the export size was incorrectly submitted (we are new devs and this our first Jam), so you may have some difficulties with the screen size (the text is up there!). Your Game was FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!! Definitely one of my top pics for the Jam.
I played this game a few days ago, and I came back to it a second time because it is really fun (also I forgot to rate it)! Unfortunately, I cannot make it past wave 2, I just get so battered on wave 1 most of the time.
I feel like part of the difficulty (on normal at least), is the scarcity of wrenches which helps massively with enemies and dealing with projectiles. Maybe also have throwing wrenches destroy bullets in their path as well as enemies?
Regardless, its such a fun experience - great job!
Thank you for your feedback! Glad you enjoyed it!
This was fun to play, love how the tiles break over time adding more stress to the storms danger.
It was a bit difficult to stay alive but insanely fun to try.
An outstanding creation!
The game's polish was immense
The emergent strategies are fun to plan around
The concept is rather unique
It was fun to run around trying to keep your platform safe
It fits the theme pretty perfectly
The pixel art was very well done
The music and sound effects were super nice and fit well with the game
The difficulty is absurd though - easy mode was already a challenge and so I tried hard mode and I'm like 80% sure the game is unbeatable on hard mode. If I had to add one thing, it would be more gems appearing on harder difficulties to balance out the fact that your board was practically unsavable due to not enough resources.
Again, one of the best entries in the jam, great job!
Thank you for your feedback! I am sorry about the hard difficulty and agree with you that it is probably impossible. I had planned to spend the last day of the jam working on bug fixes and balancing, but instead spent it adding the audio lol. Once the jam is over though I definitely plan to balance out all the difficulties for sure!
Oooh this game is difficult, I love it. Requires a nice amount of strategy and resource management, and the graphics are stellar! Got slightly confused initially thinking that the wrench should be used to repair tiles (probably based on the visuals alone), but got my head around it quickly.
Awesome job, had a lot of fun :D
Awesome, very polished game, completed easy and normal mode. That's cool there are tricks you can utilize, like throwing the wrench between two lanes or using the storm end to kill all enemies.
The hard difficulty is where lightning RNG really hits hard. My best is third storm.
Realizing that you can just stomp on slimes is really a gamechanger.
Great job!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the game! (I can't finish Hard mode either, I think I made it a little to hard lol)
Cute game! Love how the player has to contend with both losing tiles and fighting slimes, and how you can choose to reinforce certain tiles. Very clever design!
I used to it reinforce the center tiles especially so I have an island to stand on by the end (and this worked out!!).
Great game, really enjoyed it
Very nice and polished game, but it feels way too hard, even in normal I get completely overwhelmed by slimes and no ammos left to use them.
Thank you! I agree that the game is hard, I didn't have enough time to balance it out, as I spent the last day adding audio. You can just run into the slimes to kill them though if you don't have any wrenches.
This was so much fun, I just wish there were indicators that you were low cuz sometimes I forget about erosion,
Great entry! I could see this being improved further and maybe even have a global leaderboard :O
Really like this one great job!
Simple and fun. Only little lower volume of sounds.
Done a cracking job with this. really well rounded game!
Loved the audio! super satisfying - and the gameplay is intuitive and fun!
Great work.
The gameplay loop is really engaging! It strikes a nice balance between challenge and fairness, making it rewarding when you progress. The simplicity works in its favor, but with a bit more depth, it could easily feel like a fully fleshed-out game. Great design overall, and I love the pixel art. Keep it up!
Thank you for the feedback! :)
pretty neat gameplay loop, also farily hard without seeming unfair, overall seems almost like a complete game were it not so simple, well designed.
Awesome little game! Great gameplay loop. I loved the world management, bullet hell type of game! Congrats!
Love the look of this game. You did an awesome job. Keep up the great work!
I like the game and the concept, it looks pretty unique. Nice and minimalistic artstyle, I like the sounds, it matches to the idea. I like the gameplay as well it is pretty challenging and fun. Overall Nice work and Good Luck!
Very fun and challenging! Love the pixel art, sound effects, and gameplay loop. And the enemy variety made me have to lock in and focus on all the bullets.
I like this, graphics is good, concept is something new and works with theme. I think there should be little tutorial that you fix with gems, because I thought that both healing and fixing costs 1 wrench. anyway, really great job
Thank you! I wanted to add a help menu or a tutorial or something but I ran out of time, I wanted to save the last day of the jam for bug fixing and balancing but I ended up adding sound effects instead. I enjoyed your game as well. :)
Really nice name ;)
