Thanks for playing, I will check out yours soon~
Liked how you made the sounds!
Thanks, they are fun to make.
I love this game the combat is really neat and the sound effects are really nice as well :P. Over all amazing game this could definitely be a full release with some more polish.
Thanks a bunch for playing!
Hey Neat, nice job with your game, definitely my favourite of yours. Overall, the game's pretty impressive, but I just wanted to point out a few nit-picks (which with all these ratings, uv probs already heard, but here we go!)
Whilst I like the onomatopoeia sounds, they often stacked together to create a jumble of noise (zZzjumpzpingZzZzshiny...) They added to the cutesy nature, but I think they could have been more spaced, or perhaps better mixed to avoid this. Another thing was the background merging with the foreground, it was quite hard to tell what was walls and what was background, particularly with the fog. There was also a few times that I went between rooms and instantly ended up in lava. Give the transition a second to finish and prevent the player from moving until they can see what's ahead. Another thing was that the 'random' drones all felt the same, and it wasn't obvious what the ones with different colour attacks do. Final thing I wanna say was that the boss was pretty boring, with only one attack and a seemingly infinite health pool. Try varying it with new attacks or phases and a bit less health. The best bosses (imo) have less health, but each hit is really tough to land, making each successful hit feel meaningful. That's obviously not the only way to do it, just a friendly suggestion =)
Anyways, the game was seriously cool, and I actually got here from a friend recommending it to me as it was one of their favourites. I see what they mean, really good game! You've definitely got a crazy pool of stuff, you just need to allocate a bit more time to polish. Good luck with your future projects!
If the dung beetles love worm poop so much, why do they wanna kill all of the worms?
Hey Cam! Thanks for the awesome comment as usual! I gotta learn better sound mixing for sure~ I'll add all your suggestions to my learning notes. I start teaching soon so will be busy again + avoiding corona virus T.T... And to your last sentence, it's a "plot hole" hehe.
this is fun, the only thing i can say is the jumping is a little weird, besides that amazing game, love the premise!
Incredibly fun game! I didn't want to stop exploring
Only one thing about this game... *inhales* PEW PEW PEW PEW PEPEPEW PEW.
Really great game, loved the game design and the atmosphere. The way you used the theme is nice as well. And i loved the ideia of yousing your own voice as audio asset.
This is a nice game! Gameplay is awesome and it looks like you worked a lot for the graphics.
Had a good laugh listening to sound effects, not sure if you intended to make them funny but I really like it! The gameplay is fun and smooth, good job on randomly generated mines! The art looks really nice, although for some reason to me it feels like it's right in the middle between regular 2D and pixel art. If you were going for that, it's great, but maybe making it completely one or the other would make it look even better. Nice work!
Omg, I can't play it with that "Block" and other sounds :D
Actually, it's really interesting. Like it so much!
Thanks for giving it a try! Block~~~
I really liked the way the camera followed the player around the level between different rooms!
I do feel it's a bit weird to have to pick between the drill and weapon, but I do understand it I guess.
Something I do think you should add next time is some sort of visual indicator for taking damage, because I was in the voice channel and couldn't really hear the sound effect properly.
Oh thanks for playing! Great idea, I will try and add something.
Cool idea and really well made. I loved the music and especially the sound effects xD
I understand this is a gamejam so time is finite, but I think it lacked a clear goal to why we are digging for WPC.
Thanks for playing~ yeah atm not much, but you can buy new drones or health upgrade with it :D (if you find a shop)
a polished fun game, love the feeling of exploring XD
Nice polished game! ‘Tab’ was little weird place for switching weapon type and it would be nice to jump from ‘w’ as well. Graphics and music just great work, Good job!
thanks for playing! I hope to learn how to let players map custom keys someday hehe
Very nicely done. Fun to play.
Thanks!
I died on the sound effects. This was freaking amazing! I bookmarked it to play it again; it's so good! For real, the sounds effects... 100%. Do you record this yourself? I thought "block" was funny, and then I heard the "pew pew", and once I used the drill I was done. Freaking. Amazing.
If you get a chance too, please rate me back! https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-3/rate/574336
Thanks for the kind words! Haha yeah i just record them with my cellphone mic. I will update it with more content later!
Really well made game! The sound effects are really funny :D
Block~ block~ block~ :)
Good job making this game in a week's time! It's nice to explore and could be expanded into a bigger game. I would change the sound effect for jumping, but theother sound effects are really nice. Great work!
Thanks for giving it a play!
