Sorry for no written review but here is the stream!
had fun with this. I dunno if the control scheme is indented to be this slow but it really amped up the stressfulness of the game in a good way. good job. :D
Really fun game, I feel like the learning curve is a bit too high at the start like everything goes too fast but when you start to get into the loop its just very enjoyable although I think it's still a bit rough with the health system since most of the times the guys don't reach in time so I think a way to gain lives back would be nice but other than that really enjoyable game great work.
That's a great suggestion! Of cause, when you have unlimited life, there would be another interesting goal in the game. We think that game over when no life is not that fun. We would love to think of an exciting game goal in the future. Anyway, thanks for playing :)
The basic game loop behind this game seems interesting and the concept and visuals definitely add to it. It was pretty fun to replay a couple times to try and get the shop mechanic down. The controls were relatively responsive and the difficulty curve I managed to do seemed okay. A few points of feedback tho:
Overall a nice little infinite wave game to sink some time into, and an interesting play altogether.
Thank you so much for playing it on stream! Your feedback is so useful that we would definitely update the game referencing these points.
Engaging game. I replayed several times and it still fun to play and retry. Managed to delivery some 7 weight boxes, but some of them just crash my ghosts, even when they group shows >7 (9 for example). Not always, but retried and happens to me several times.
The game is very entertaining. The graphics and animation are amazing. And the music and sfx create a nice atmosphere.
Great work! Congratulations!
Please if you have time, check my game :) Thank you!
Thank you so much for playing. Glad that you love it!
It's the first time hearing this bug. Are the ghosts all at the same height? They pick up the boxes together only when they are at the same height.
You could try an updated version HERE temporarily :) We have updated some graphics and UX issues. The levels are not balanced tho lol
Ohhh, that's the problem then... I was mixing the taller ghost with the shorter ones! Will try again later with the updated version.
This was a great idea and you executed it well!
Thank you!
Really good concept and great execution! Had to figure out for myself that the shop does not reroll automatically, so starting was kinda frustrating. Once I got the hang of it it was an interesting game with simple but effective mechanics. The art really fits and the music is well done. I liked it!
Thank you! Happy that you like our game!
I have also played yours and I love it!
Amazing original idea and great visuals! Great job :)
Thank you so much :)
That was a very fun game. Love the graphics, and the concept is very unique too. The controls also very feel nice once I got used to the gameplay, it's quite hectic but also very fun when you start managing tons of ghosts.
A quality of life change I'd make is to have the shop reroll automatically when it's free and when you don't have ghosts to buy. Oftentimes I'd forget to reroll the shop because I'm too busy micromanaging all the ghosts. I also think the third level is way too difficult when the +7 boxes show up. If you make one mistake, your run is basically over since the boxes are so large and they kill most of your ghosts. Finally, this game does need some sort of tutorial, but I understand that it's difficult to make one with only a week to develop the rest of the game.
Overall, very fun game, and very cute art style. I played it for quite a while.
Thank you for playing :) Automation is exactly what we are going to implement. You may find an update HERE temporarily.
Balance the boxes on each level is quite difficult. We still couldn't think of a good way to assign the stats for the boxes. You are right, it will be a definite loss if you make one mistake. Maybe the weight of boxes depends on the total power of ghosts? Glad to hear if you have any suggestions!
Really fun game! The graphics were great, the music was too and the gameplay was very unique - I really liked the RTS-like controls. I wanna say it was a bit too difficult at first but at the same time I played this one over and over because it always only felt only a little bit too difficult and still felt like with another playthrough I could do better, which was true. Maybe have a super simple introductory level? My first play through I lost because I was avoiding the packages thinking they were going to crush me then I realized how the mechanic worked. I'll be playing this one more for sure.
Thank you so much!
This game really is super fun, like the most fun of the entire jam! I loved your art & the music.
Thank you so much. Glad you like it!
Very interesting game, the art is just mindblowingly-amazing! One thing to improve is maybe to add an in-game tutorial, as I found myself very confused about what to do. The Audio is great and it looks like a very promising game, if you expand on what you currently have. Overall, great jam submission, keep it up!
Thank you! I wish we had time to make it more polished!
Unique concept well executed, also I adore that graphics! The game gets really chaotic after a bit, in a good way. Hotkeys to reroll and market button would be nice, this would allow players to control the ghosts more efficiently. Overall, great game!
Thanks for playing! We have noticed that the shop is not so convenient. I will implement an auto-refresh to it. Will be updated here after the jam. But you could try it HERE temporarily.
Very cute, so polished and a lot different from the games I have played so far (over 60)! Nice concept, better execution, good job!
Thank you! Wow you have played a lot!
