Very interesting and original idea. The graphics, music sound effects and animations are all great.
Unfortunately, with mouse and keyboard controls involved, I wasn't able to play it effectively being left handed (combination of space to jump and left mouse to dig is very awkward).
Thank you, and sorry to hear that the controls were troublesome!
Did you try moving with the arrow keys and using spacebar (jump), Z (dig), and X (carry bone)?
Really fun. The AI really digs itself into a hole, eh? :)
Music and "Yeeee-haw!" was great. mechanics were cool too.
Great game and as you mentioned the AI didnt work to well but mine weren't the best either. The Music and sound effects and art was awsome.
really liked the game but the enemy AI wasn't working for me.
but overall the game is very fun.
Cool! It's sad the AI didn't really show much ambition (just jumped on the spot) and that would've added so much if they were working. As an idea this is really nice - and there's a lot of potential to expand upon! :) Good work, people!
Really well done. Simple and straightforward gameplay just that the AI looks like it is not complete and the player jump should be maybe be analog. That is the longer you hold the space bar the higher the jump until max height reached.
Nice artwork only visual aspect I didn't like was how the text blends with the orange background. Good audio choice and sound effects for user feedback.
Overall a well done, short, and enjoyable game.
Fun little game. :) Enjoyed the smooth 3d-esque models, and it was cool that you programmed in some enemies too. For me, it was a bit easy, and it was sometimes hard to pick up bones in mid-air for some reason. All-in-all, great work. :)
Really good game!
It's a little short but really enjoyable for a casual game!
Cool game ! Nice visual and audio !
I have just two comments :
- I had a glitch when the enemy take a bone, the game just freeze.
- I understand this is a gameplay choice, but I don't find logical that you can't dig left or right.
I enjoyed playing it !
Great simple and fun game play - love the 'yeehaw's too!
Great contribution. Cool and fun game. Kudos.
That was really fun to play. The game is greatly optimized! However, in Level 2, the game hangs after the opposite AI picked up the bone so I couldn't progress. Overall, great game!
many fun, and I like now I know the information of may bones
Super fun gameplay. Simple but addictive. Multiplayer version could be awesome to play.
