I really love the idea of the disguised got. Very nice! And the humor is great!
I also like the gameplay and that you get attacks for each animal in the coat! Nice design choice.
Sometimes i got attacked by an enemy before i even saw him, And the enemys are really hard to hit sometimes.
Great game after all.
I love the art and story of this game! Well done :)
I think this is the most interesting use of the theme I have found so far. Would definitely play this if it was an even longer game.
Awesome drawing and an amazing idea to combine the different farm animals in one character as the "human" coat guy and each of them add another ability. Really cool what you made in one week! We had a lot of fun. The end boss suprised us the most, totally unexpected, awesome! (We managed to kick him out of the level boundaries though so we couldn't defeat him haha, with the eggs it took to long...)
If you want to keep polishing it:
What was missing the most was player feedback, so i would start to add feedback animations such as a hit or death animation, bombs indicating when the explode and the ninja indicating when they are about to throw a ninja star.
Music was too short and repetitive to be played in a loop over and over.
Really cool project, keep it up!
All the best from the Wilma & Buddy Team
Really cool game!!
Some notes I had: (I do know that it's a jam, but there are some stuff that I'd like to point out for your future games!)
- The goat attack which also is a dash is super nice. I like duality in game design and that was cool.
- The chicken projectile is a bit too slow for it's damage. Generally speakin having a slow moving projectile is harder to hit, so most of the time it packs a hit. You can either increase the speed, or the damage.
- I think you should have spread the other animals in the map so the player won't get them all in the same time. I do understand that pacing and the fact that you don't want player to miss those things in a jam is a tricky thing to do, but I presonally enjoy finding new power ups.
- The carrots being your hp which you can collect is nice. I did found the carrots spreading a bit too far when killing enemies. When the player gets hit it's fitting - like in sonic. But you don't want the focus of the game to be on collecting the carrots from dead enemies, so adjust it a bit towards the player.
- The boss was nice, I did find him a bit easy (tho, this is the right difficulty for a jam). Also, he had a bit too much HP. If you want your boss hard, make him harder, no beefier.
- I loved the fact that I am a goat in a coat. Thank you.
*I did find a black rectangle at the top of the map which I couldn'y understand it's purpose*
Good job!
Hey thank you soooo much for your comment!!! Really appreciated!
cool game! i really like the use of the theme and the graphics. just wish there was alittle bit more mechanics and an explanation of how to play and what you need to do. acool game although! would love if you could try out my game too https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/929542
thank you! Will try yours soon.
Yeah, certainly one of the things I learned when playing all the other games: it's better when there is a whole lot of explanation! Totally miss that in our game!
Your game is really nice and everything is beautiful but I think it lack some real goal. But may be maybe I missed something, is there something to do near the black hole ?
In any case good work on this game! ;)
thank you!
Did you beat the red ninja final boss?
That would have been the goal ^^
Oups no, Where is he supposed to be ? ^^
If you follow the main path all right and then turn downwards there is a stone area with the bad guy in the center.
The art of this game is so good, and idea has potential, although it got a bit repetitive. Overall a good game!
I loved your game! The art was great, I loved the sunflowers and the scarecrows!
"No! Not that kind of special" I enjoyed the humor of the game. The gameplay was solid and I enjoyed fighting the ninjas. I loved the art style and the sound design was good too.
I did try to ram a ninja and glitched into the forest and was unable to escape. I suggest doing some sort of ray cast to determine if the player is going to go through a wall when ramming to stop that from happening.
Other then that, really fun game!
Haha your game is so fun! I LOVE animals in the coat, and the humor. Art style is great. I catched one bug, when I fought the bad guy near the forest and fell to the forest, couldnt get out.
Really cool overall!
Hey man you made me laught since the game started! The first "cinematic" is soooo fun! The artstyle and the music fits together perfectly! The only thing I would make is to lower the boss difficulty! It is so hard at least for me! xD
This is the game with the best story in this jam so far. The graphics and the theme interpretaion are great. You could add a bit more feedback about how much health a ninja has, but other than that i had a joy playing this.
Your game is so cool, I spend a quite amount of time playing it, it is really fun to play, the mechanic of level up by eating carrots is awesome, and the artwork is really good!
WHAT A GAME! First, what everyone said: the forest glitch. But beyond that, this is amazing. What programm do you use to make this art? I want to learn; what youtuber de you recommend me? I only know pixel art. The goat attack is a little bid bad and buggy. I lost to the final boss :(. It remind me of old Cartoon Network games, the music too! Really nice job. I admire you haha. For how long do you make games?
Ehm ^^ Thanks!
I started by doing my drawings by hand, but it certainly was more easy when I managed the "grafic tablet" thing. Was my first try in this game jam, but after some practice it worked quite well. As for the program: I just randomly googled "free illustration program" and tried a few. I certainly will try out some more now that I have the time. I didnt look for youtube videos, but I think I will do this, too, now with less pressure xD
An interesting game!I enjoyed the fight.
However there are some bugs to be fixed.Sometimes I got stuck and sometimes I even went into the forest!I'll show you a screenshot about such situation.
More characters and more enemies will make this game even more attactive.
Wow just amazing. I liked how you told the story in the beginning. The controls are smooth. I would have rated it 5/5 if there were more animals providing the players with a choice. but in context to the game jam it is just awesome. I really love it
Thank you. Due to the lack of time we only had time for the additional frog. But I admit it would be cool if there were even more addtional animals :D
First onion cutting ninjas, now carrot-stealing ninjas ?! What's next ?
Very nice looking game. The art style reminds me of The Culling Of The Cows. I also wish that you could throw the bunnies into the pit though.
Not bad, since you could push the boss around, I was expecting you could do something with that - maybe push them into the pit to the north? Or maybe you could do something I missed. Liked the art style, though I found the boundary trees to be a really odd scale - like you are a giant. Good job overall.
You have a very cool game! I loved it !!
Also, don't forget to play and rate my game!
