Interesting idea and I liked the theme! However, I wish there was a bit of a delay before the snowballs start coming in the beginning, since they managed to get me killed already when I was reading the instructions. I think it would also be good to trigger the end of the game when you've collected all the items.
Nice little entry, especially since you’re not that experienced and solo! I liked how you made bullet hell sorta fit with the theme. I would prefer there was an end goal rather than just a high score.
A few unordered remarks:
hi, I suppose you’re a teammate then? Sorry if I sounded over critical, I’m just trying to give pointers to improve! I know people work hard during jams. I enjoyed my playthrough of the game.
If he’s not solo he needs to add you (and others if there are more) as contributor in the itch.io admin page of the game, see this screenshot to find it:
Would be nice to add the Discord nicknames in the jam submission too.
Hello, thank you for the feedback I will definitely use it in my future games. Sorry about the previous messages it was my little brother who took it personally. And yes there were other people working on this game other than me. We did not know how to credit it on the website so we put the credits in the game menu.
Sorry about your brother, my French ass can be overly critical sometimes 😅 It’s a good result for a jam game, you’ll probably get a good rank
Thanks for you feedback. I am the "oooh cozy" voice :) I have a question on the volume of the audio. I checked and it's currently normalized at -1.3db, which indeed is probably too loud. Is there a usual/recommended db volume for background music in games? On the high score/goal point, I don't know if you noticed, but there is kind of a end goal in the game, which is to collect all the items for the man and get 100% cozyness, pro cozy.
Well I think professionnals will normalize to something between - 3db to 0db. I don’t really like that because then I always set the volume settings to like 10%.
I think my personal is to aim for - 3db but then I programmatically set the master to 50% volume by default.
And usually you keep like 6db difference between important audio and background stuff (voice lines and music for instance).
You could try the Godot Mixing Desk plug-in, I haven’t yet but I’ve heard it’s good.
Addictive! Nice music also.
Ha this was a lot of fun! It made me want to keep playing and the art and music were very nice.
Great game! Kinda wish there was an "easy mode" with 3 lives or something.
Hit full cozy! I did have a few moments where there was some major framerate drops (down to single digits), but otherwise the game played well with some nice art and music.
Thanks, yes I noticed some lag issues with the HTML version, not sure how to fix it though
Hmm, maybe something to do with spawning or removing objects? Idk how you've got it configured but that'd be my first suspicion.
Great art style! I died right when the game started because I wasn't ready for the projectiles. It might help to let the player click something or press a button after the intro text to "start" the game.
Thanks for the feedback!
Strangely addictive.
