Ranked from 13 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
Since the small character is so weak but does so much damage, and the large character can't deal damage but takes a lot of hits - Both are needed to successfully defend the Gem.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yup. Wasn't the plan originally but I ended up creating all the scripts (other than Cinemachine for the camera), and all the artwork myself.

Lacks some sounds but the game's dynamism compensates. Good job !

stronger than death

Overall really nice graphics, I do agree with other people that any background music would have gave the game a lot more feeling to it.

Haha I'm glad you liked it :) bigBoi was a joy to animate :D

Could have used some audio, the game was fun but the controls are a little unintuitive.

Please rate my game: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/928675

I very quickly fell in love with my two soldier bois. But at some point there were too many buff men for my two soldier bois to handle. Thank you for the wonderful game though!

Submitted

MontyJDeveloper4 years ago

Haha thanks so much for playing :) I knoww, it's one of my regrets - not paying enough attention to balance and gameplay but, It's all a learning experience ^_^

SpadgersHatSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Well that escalated quickly...I really liked the responsiveness of the small boi, but as soon as he died and it was all big boy's job, I began to struggle. Nice work for a solo game!

Submitted

MontyJDeveloper4 years ago

Hahaha Yeah I didn't have time to balance the mechanics so it's reaaally tough - just so you know you can switch between the two characters to attack/ defend by pressing 'y' - maybe it would be a little easier :) Thank you for playing!

SpadgersHatSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Thanks dude! Would love for you to check out ours too.

MontyJDeveloper4 years ago

Wow - really impressed with yours! Love the story behind it + the graphics are great ^^ Good job

SpadgersHatSubmitted4 years ago

Thanks mate - hope you rated it on its page as well as responding here...!

MontyJDeveloper4 years ago(+1)

Yessir! ^_^

CrysaacSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Quite a nice little game and nice graphics. Music would of course add a lot. ^^

Feel free to check out our game as well. :)

Submitted

MontyJDeveloper4 years ago

Thanks ^^ Yeah I know, sucks I didn't manage to throw something on there - Guess I'll know better next time. I'll add your game to my list and leave a comment when I get around to playing :)

Ruby J. W.Submitted4 years ago(+1)

Wow! Well done on your first game! It was a lot of fun to play, but I can imagine that having two players would make it even better.

Submitted

A Monster's Story

MontyJDeveloper4 years ago(+1)

Thanks so much ^^ Yeah, it being a 2 player game was the idea from the start, and probably a lot more fun - but I knew a lot of people would prefer a single player game :) Glad you enjoyed

Ismael LBSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Great game! I somehow manage to survive, the small boy ran out of health and turn red maybe during the change and I became invincible. But is a great idea, and the graphics are really nice.

Keep making games! Enjoy a lot

I couldn't actually win without messing with the scripts, you're better at the game than the developer :D Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed :)

TheRzeperSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Really nice game, the last wave was super hard but manageable. I don't know if that's just me but I didn't have any sounds which would be nice to have in the game. Also, I really like your artwork and animations.

Submitted

MontyJDeveloper4 years ago(+1)

Thanks for playing :) Really glad you liked the art - the sounds + camera script I ran out of time for, but I'll probably brush up a few things after the jam.
