Great game ! You should be proud of what you did for your first jam ! The art is cool, so are the sound effects. Hope you can work on it after the jam and add more waves of ennemies ! Keep up the good work :)
Thank you very much :)
Really good! We do want more screenshots on the profile!
This game just contains everything that's needed for a complete game. The well polised art and controller and regulation. I love it!
( looks like the rat sits on its tail
Thank you very much ! Screenshots are a good idea, i'll see about that
Nice game for a first game jam! Graphics are pretty cools and gameplay is good. I think the game can be a little more nervous and less repetitive to be a better runner but it's a really good work! Congrats!
Thank you ! Yes it could need some improvements and tweeks here and there ! I plan to polish it a bit after the votes
A game to be proud of for a first jam game! Had a little bug that made the retry button disappear after I gained a life after dying, but its pretty polished! How long the time slows after the punches could be decreased a tiny bit though
Thank you very much for the feedback. I'll check for that bug, I can see where that one's coming from. Slo-mo should be tweeked as well, Indeed.
Got 162!
Nice game, especially for a first jam game! Liked the cute art style too. Also liked how there are options, getting power/health vs getting points.
Just a suggestion: Might’ve been nice if there had been some music. Since the player’s speed is constant, you can plan it such that the player hits the enemies on the beat. Kind of like Muse Dash if you played it before. I know it’s too much for the first game jam but maybe for the future? When are more skilled!
Had a small bug where the time scale was kept after I died. Just had to reload the game and it worked again though.
Oops, thanks for letting me know, never got that bug before ! Will check it out
Might’ve been a one-off thing. It happened when I hit the super giant green monster when I was the small guy if it helps.
Thought of some more stuff and edited my comment.
Thank you for additionnal feedback! Sound design was really rushed tbh. I got a last minute music track, like one hour before the end of jam, but forgot too loop it >_> will improve that in future projects.
Really cool concept and love the art style !! Well done !!
Thank you :)
Cool idle game idea with scaling mechanic. I can't really play at first on macOS because the keyboard config is quite different on the Scaling mechanic, then I played in a casual keyboard and it's more enjoyable. Still needs a tutorial stage first before facing the real bad guy though. Good job on the game! :)
Thank you for bringing that to my attention, must admit I'm not much of a Mac user ! I'll try and correct that
At first I just read "press s to special attack" and didn't read the "auto attack" part, and I felt really powerful thinking I'm hitting every right hits :D ! Very fun game!
Thank you ! Yup, onboarding is a bit off right now, I should add clearer indications after the votes end. (Already changed the page's instructions)
Super cute game! The super size was a bit confusing, I didn't realise I had to collect 10 of the batteries to activate it. Making the UI say something like x/10 would have cleared this up. Fun overall though, I managed to get over 200 in the end, nice work!
Thanks for the feedback, the UI modification is a good idea, i'll keep that in mind !
Interesting gameplay. You've managed to get a lot done with the time you had and it's impressive. Good game and well done.
Thank you very much :)
It's nice to see another aficionado of rat-type games
haha i didn't even make the connection, but there's definitely something here
Intuitively I thought being bigger than enemies is how I should beat them and was kind of confused :_D but after that it is a fun little game, nice characters and handdrawn style
Thank you for the feedback ! yup that part is a bit confusing, the idea was that you miss the punch if the enemy is too small, but then it's a bit contradicted by the fact that the third bigger robot beats every size later on .. This should be better with a tutorial early on
I really like the artsyle! It's pretty annoying that the game slows down so much when hitting enemies tho, that makes the pace of the game a bit to slow in my opinion
Hi, thank you for your feedback ! I agree that I was heavy-handed with the slo-mo effect, i'll take that in mind for the post-jam fixes :)
GG for the art style and when i know that you started it at the half of the jam gg.
Thank you ^^ Yup I started to code a bit late in retrospect, assets took forever to make, I'll keep that in mind for future jams !
Amazing art style! good job!
Thank you :) Your game seems cool too, I added it to my testing list ^_^
Awesome art style and nice color palette! Simple but addictive game loop combined with really nice background music! Really solid entry. Nice Job!
Thank you :) really enjoyed your artstyle as well !
Nice twist on classic platformer :D
Thank you :)
i loved the cartoon art style!
Thanks ! I'll be checking your game as well ^^
The art style is very good! also good music!
Thank you very much ! Art style is from me, and music was kindly offered by fellow Xingabus from the GMTK Discord. This is my first game jam ever, glad I could make it to the end ! PS I'll be sure to check your project as well :)
very good job! especially for your first jam :) you clearly have an artist's background as it's very stylish.
Really nice idea for the scale! best score of 133
Thank you ! Nice score :) I'll be sure to check your project as well
