Fun game! The controls were not that intuitive but I was able to figure it out. I love that you added nuts to the end of the score on the leaderboard! Goes great with the theming. Lots of neat small touches like the ouch text and random nuts getting called out. Is in need of at tutorial and make sure you spell it right on the menu screen haha. You should be able to hide the mobile controls on desktop by default, then the player can still toggle them on if they choose. When I died I think the player character stayed on screen. also I got 5th on the leaderboards! Great work!
Fun physics based game. I failed to figure out how to score points though! Still was fun to survive as long as possible
Sorry I should have finished the tutorial, but to score points you shoot the nuts, there are instructions on how to play in a comment at the bottom of the games official page.
Since the tutorial button doesn't do anything for me, it took me a while to find out that shooting used the B key when I first played this. Love the seesaw and all the different kinds of nuts, but there should be more invincibility frames since one or two nuts can quickly drain all your health way too fast!
Ha! You can't get me, you evil squirrel! I am invinci-ble? Oh no! There's too many acorns and nuts to dodge!
Anyways, that was a fun game, though I wish there was a replay button so that I can play it over and over again.
That music is very good.
Your fandom is already getting a little kooky.
Feel free to delete my comment, I won't get upset.
I just couldn't help myself, I am a simple man.
Oh, that's not my name on there btw, I'm in 27th place with 0 nuts. Dead Tree.
That was me lmao, just couldn't resist!
It's a great game that combines a balanced theme with shooting.
I almost missed it because I didn't know how to do it. When playing on PC, use the arrow keys to move, the space bar to jump, and the b key to shoot.
The developers have done a great job of combating feedback, with special effects, sounds, floating characters
The theme it's well executed, it's got really intense... I think it's a little better in mobile devices.
The game is very fitting well the theme. :)
Nice game, though the controls are a bit off as for keyboard I didn't find the shoot button.Dug up my controller to manage to get to actual game play.
Sometimes when you get hit and the nut is rolling towards you you can't jump away as the player is slowed down so you get killed without means to escape.
Otherwise quite a solid game <3
Feel like I missed most of the game. Can't figure how to get level or nuts. When I finished playing, after the leaderboard, it go back to the game over screen so I have to reload the page each time.
Liked it tho, I hope I can understand it better later
To get nuts you shoot them, Once enough are shot you level up and are given another bullet so you shoot 2 at a time, 3 at a time and so on. The amount of Nuts shot and the bonus that some nuts give will be the final score on the leaderboard, I hope this helps.
So ^^'
How to shot with keyboard controls?
The B key is the shoot key, if you need any help with controls I have a comment at the bottom of the project page, but will ad a tutorial after the Game Jam period. Thanks for playing my game :)
Love the music but after I failed the game, I couldn't figure out how to replay.
Sorry I should have added a replay button, currently you enter the name you want to use for high score, and afterwards it shows you the leaderboard, upon exiting the leaderboard you are taken to the start screen and are able to replay. Thanks for your feedback and I am glad you liked the music :D
You can check out mine if you like
This game is fine, but I find it gets a bit stale after awhile, around the point where you have what is effectively a shotgun pattern. After that points, extra bullets don’t change the way the game feels at all, they just increase the rate that you get points. And with how easy the game is, I don’t feel particularly incentivized to play for a high score.
Also, I should say that it took me quite a lot of fiddling to figure out both what the controls are and what you’re supposed to do with the nuts. Some tutorialization would really help here; a simple example would just be to include the character the player controls shooting a nut in the cutscene at the start.
Thanks for the feedback. I had lots of stuff going on that's why the tutorial button doesn't show anything currently. In regards to the controls there is a comment at the bottom of the page explaining them. If the game does well I'm planning on adding some different random events like nuts that explode and oil nuts that make you slip off the platform. Perhaps even a level system.✌️
I love the up beat music. I need to try back on my phone.
