nice art and good job

Submitted

Well don - I like the are - funny game

I quite like the artstyle and the color palette! The music is pretty good, but in terms of audio some sound effects would've added a nice touch, as would maybe one frame of "being killed" after an asteroid hits a character.

This game has a very simple design, and that's great (and also a great name). I have some issues:

  • The main one is the camera which doesn't show much of the screen, so there is almost no time to react to the incoming obstacles
  • The characters feel very slippery, which shouldn't be the games for precise games as is this one.
  • And the music always gets cut out when you die

I would highly suggest watching: How to make your game 2X as fun! - (In No Time.) - YouTube this video as it was a great help for my earlier games, and I feel it should help this one as well, if you just give it one watch you should find a few ways to make it interesting

Thank you!

I saw this as a small micro game, as it's design is very simple and straight to the point. It could maybe become some form of dodge pattern in another game?

However, there are some issues with the design at the moment. First, I was always asking myself what the failstate is, is it's not clear what happens when you get hit. Then it's very easy to get cornered with no way to get out. I guess a more gentle hitbox could solve that.

Keep it up dude. The idea is cool, maybe try to focus adding more gameplay and making the characters feel nicer to move. Good effort!

The music was great, and I liked the simple art. I tried to survive to some sort of ending, but couldn't get there is there was one. There was a glitch I kept encountering that made it unfair sometimes, where a character would get stuck on the ground. I think I know the problem, if you were using Unity's tile system. When using hitboxes on the tiles sometimes characters can get stuck on what is supposed to be flat ground, so its better to avoid use the hitboxes on Unity's tileing system, if that is what you used. I liked the game.

Nice concept!
Unfortunately, I couldn't make the brothers reconcile ;)

Keep it up!

cool

Hi @boomerbam the game idea and music was great, the only thing I would say is to make movement a bit faster and smoother.

Submitted

its a really simple game, and a very nice art style, adding some feedback when the rocks hit the player would be really helpful tho

Submitted

Art and music was great but needs a bit more polishing.

I think the game should have a counter maybe, to track how long you are alive if it is that type of game.

Submitted

Looks cool and music sounds good. I didn't really understand what was going on though, what my goal was, and why I kept getting restarted. I think some sort of tutorial would help.

Very cool game !!

I really loved the music

Submitted(+1)

Its a good start and the music is really nice. You should zoom out a little so that the player can better anticipate the obstacles. keep going at it. :)

i'm not really sure how to play  but the art and music was great

Developer

sorry for the lack of explanations

Submitted(+1)

Aesthetic and music are great. The game is a little hard to understand what to do though. I would put some extra details in the description. That being said, great work!

Submitted(+1)

I don't quite understand how you play this game. Are you supposed to touch the asteroids or avoid them, because it does nothing if you do. It seems to abruptly restart, because I have no idea what to do. On a positive note, great job making a game within 48 hours! Hopefully this will help you become a better game developer as you stated you are not that good in the description.

Very simple game, but a bit too easy to lose completely. Would like a way to keep score. I reviewed yours, make sure you return the favor! https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2021/rate/1081519
