Nice job on a Crossy Road reimagining. Took me a moment to figure out how to fire but when I did figure it out, I didn't seem able to destroy anything, bullet impacts just created a particle system. Looked good though and was challenging to play.

Thank you for the honest feedback! Yeah, unfortunately the instructions didn't have own screen in the game, just a mention in the game description. I need to add something in game as well.

Each projectile has a damage + damage variance and vehicles have a health bar, so while bullets do less damage they shoot more rapidly. And mines can destroy vehicles single shot. Do you feel this could be communicated better somehow? If so, any ideas?

Cheers!

Looking at the comments, I guess I'm not the only one that have problem progressing far with the game. But maybe also because I'm just bad at this kind of games. Hahaha. 

Aside from that it is a pretty nice game. Probably adding background music will be nice too. 

Developer

Heh, you are correct. The difficulty curve is too steep and wasn't properly addressed on this entry. And you are absolutely correct. I will try to address that on the next version. How would you make the game more accessible and easy to get started?

Music will be added on the title screen as well. Maybe leaving the core loop without it, lets see.

Cheers!

Oh, ma god, this game is genius. I had a blast playing it, its really fun and incredibly polished, especially for a gamejam game! Awesome stuff, keep up the good work!

The look is cool, I'm just not good enough for it. Starting out, it would be nice if the gaps were a little larger, and then they could get tighter later on, so I get sucked in to the game before I die. Still, I found myself trying it multiple times.

Does the karma do anything, or is it another point system for destroying cars?

Developer

Thanks for tying the game out and giving feedback! Yeah, I have received a lot of similar comments that the difficulty curve could be easier one. I agree with you on this!

Karma currently doesn't have any meaning other than a gimmick at the end to indicate some kind of score. Depends if I can come up with a use case for a meta progression  (or if I can come up with a meta progression at all),  it could be used as currency or similar :)

Quite a fun game and very well implemented! :D I enjoyed playing it but this requires some levelling adjustments, I wish there were like 3 lives before restarting or are there checkpoints instead at some point? Also maybe the colliders are a bit too long on the back of the cars, not matching with the model visually, front felt natural but the back felt as if it wasn't actually supposed to kill me at 'that' moment of jump. Weapons were great addition! Great fun game! 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, lives. It's true. It's very unforgiving now. :) I don't know why I didn't go with the lives, maybe cause I was too fixated on the Crossy Road where the progression happens even if you die. But in mine there's no real meta progression :D

Colliders should be in order. I just checked them all. Only the SUV collider extends to the back spare wheel. That I could move back to the hull of the car. I wonder if there's something else, or just the fact that it feels "wrong" to die to the end? I was thinking that maybe instead of dying to the back it could bounce back. 

I am going to implement similar thing like in Crossy Road where you hit the side the model gets squished, so also maybe the back could behave a bit differently! :thinking:

Thank you for play testing and providing feedback! I appreciate it a lot!

Really fun game, and the graphics suit it perfectly. I agree with others that the difficulty curve was quite steep, my first few runs were really short and it took me some time to make some more progress. Apart from that, this is a really solid Crossy Road-inspired game. Great job! 

Developer

Thanks for giving it a go and thank you for your honest feedback! I probably need to look into the curve at some point. :)

Submitted(+1)

Fun game!

I think maybe you can make entry curve more smooth, like first cars have less health, increasing with progress, but picking ammo upgrades, some chicken upgrades, like jump, life ring, temporary invincibility . Less traffic on start etc

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate you gave it a go!

Yeah, good idea of the difficulty curve. You probably mean that it could be more easy on the start and get harder as you go? And upgrades on the chicken sounds an interesting idea! I will think how it could be done in this context!

Cheers!

"You probably mean that it could be more easy on the start"
Yes, maybe implement as different game modes

The chicken explosion animation is amazing!ahaha
Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out which classic game you were inspired by."

Developer(+1)

Heheh! Great! Good that you like it! This is a game based on Frogger and the likes, e.g. Crossy Road. And eventually a mash up Crossy Road and Rambo, First Blood.

Submitted(+1)

This is great!

Developer

Hey Michael,
Thank you for your feedback! Is there something you would improve in the game?

Submitted(+1)

Well, it's basically very similar to Frogger; what I might see as an improvement down the road could be, say, different types of lanes (train tracks, for instance) or new weapons. It's very solid as a concept.

Developer(+1)

Thanks again! I was working on the train tracks, but had to drop them off due to timeline. And yeah, flamethrower was planned to be able to clean trees, but it was more complex to do. But I will add them both!

Submitted(+1)

I'm useless at this type of game play but it is fun and very well executed.

Developer

Thank you for your comment!

Is there something the game could do better so you would feel more empowered or more in control?

Submitted(+1)

No it's fine, I just don't play this type of game so I'm bad at it.  There are a lot of variations which make it interesting.
