Where is Harold Cinematic Universe, where 20 Harold Games form a series?
I'd have to wonder how well this concept could translate into a larger project! I think the game mechanics as presented are satisfying by themselves
Fun little game, quite enjoyed the combat, funky hitboxes aside, decent fun.
Thanks for playing despite the funky hitboxes!
Very different, and very short. I would’ve liked to shoot at more things. Also the hitboxes are really weird. As someone who’s made a bullet hell shooter before, setting hitboxes to be roughly 75% of the image dimensions, with the player’s being a single center pixel generally works pretty well.
Wait, then again this isn’t technically bullet hell, is it? Oh well, its still neat.
Ahhhh those hitboxes were so hard, so I definitely did not do a good job (and some hitboxes were so far off due to coding errors but I lacked the drive to fix them). Actually you probably could have helped me with some ingenious coding or something. More things. . . that would have broken my brain. Maybe I'll make a PGM game for you one day.
Very cool entry Human! I did find a sweet spot on the planet battle (upper middle of the planet) where it could not hit me, but I could shoot it.
Oldhar used a semicolon and I immediately knew he was the real deal :D
Thank you for running the jam, and holding together such a great community!
You noticed the semicolon!!! You're right, there are so many ways to cheese the game. Oldhar is very powerful!
I was not very good at this, so the instant retry after dying was appreciated. The first battle in particular was the hardest (due to the small size) and it took me a bit to figure out I had to keep pressing 'Enter' to attack, instead of repeatedly pressing it. In the end my strategy as Oldhar was to stand still and keep attacking hoping to outlast the enemy.
I enjoyed the story and the unique Oldhar it had (same with the other darksiders).
Thanks Slim! That repeated enter to attack was such a huge misstep but cool you eventually got it. You also found out the meta strategy!
very cool game, it's so simple and I wish it was longer and more of a challenge. Doing random encounter battles and bosses like this in a sci fi game would be really fun.
This proof of concept taught me to never do this in RM again (unless for a tiny mini game). It was actually really hard to balance since hitboxes are really hard to calibrate, so I had to make it pretty easy.
Another adventure in unique action sequencing concepts by Human! I do enjoy these short proof-of-concept entries. I love the quirky characters, too. Great job!
Thanks KV! Was super fun to make.
This was a fun, self contained, complete game. While it has no replay value I did enjoy it the whole way through for what it was.
Combat was easy. And very pretty. It was interesting and new! I'd love to know what plugins you used for it.
Not really a funny game.
Sound was fitting.
Visuals were stunning, but what on earth was that last abomination!?!
I liked your take on the dark trope. Possibly my fave Oldhar so far. (Hey that kind of rhymes!)
Thanks TT! I'm relieved you didn't find it funny. I tried to take any jokes out, but Hawk still found it humorous (derp). What an honor that dark trope Oldhar is your fave so far!!
Is Hawk secretly a villain?
It's not even a secret! Actually he's just really generous with his laughter and enjoyment of things.
Fun little entry!
Excellence: The gameplay was really the combat; there was nothing interactive outside of it.
Combat: Speaking of which, this was super unique. Did not expect you to pull this off at all. This was one of the first entries that made me realize how stacked this jam was.
Comedy: Not much in the way of comedic value but I thought the way Oldhar teleported back to the main world immediately after the other three did and the music cut out was funny.
Sound: Nothing that really stood out but the music and sounds fit well.
Visuals: Pretty standard RTP stuff. Final boss was pretty freaky too, classic Human Dragonbones stuff.
Story: Really interesting depiction of a less evil Oldhar.
Criteria: The dialogue and dead end worked well enough within the context of the story.
Thanks again for hosting this jam every year. I can safely call this my default jam and I look forward to entering the next one!
I'm glad you found the combat unique at least! I actually had more comedy, but it fit the tone of the game so poorly I removed as much as I could, so even a slightly humorous music cut is a mistake on my part! Thanks for playing DJ!
Only ultimate play testers can rate the ultimate game.
Short but different entry that uses an underused style of game play.
Although not complex it does not overstay its welcome.
Music choice was fitting and appreciate the use of custom assets for some parts.
Glad you got a chance to check it out, ultimate crow. Not overstaying its welcome is all I could hope for with this entry.
That Super Har Type is terrifying in action. What a novel battle system using action sequence to make space shooter!
Thanks for checking it out Nowis! Given your experience busting up MZ to make unique modes of gameplay (like fighting games, action RPGs etc.) I'm actually curious how you would have pulled something like this off. If you ever decide to make a space shooter, I'm sure it'll blow us all away.
Sadly this was too hard, I couldn't get past the first battle. I had times I'd hit the key to fire and nothing would happen, which didn't help either.
That seems like a very strange bug! If anyone else experiences it I hope they let me know. The battles were designed to be so easy they were nigh impossible to die in unless you forget to shoot, so something went very wrong here.
EDIT: BG was able to expose a weakness in my action sequencing and/or gameplay instructions that I totally neglected to consider! Many thanks to BG for shoring up my blind spots.
