I love, love, love it. The movement is so interesting. The bonk, plus the dash, plus the throwing of a gift while in the air felt so good! Great job!!! I also love the slow motion when you are about to throw the present/gift
Thanks a lot for the feedback, I'm still a bit unsatisfied of the movements as they are in this build, i'm trying to improve air-strafing and the slide mechanic, but that taken into account, I'm quite proud of this controller, so it means a lot ! Thank you !
Really nailed the retro style. Like the energy and movement of the game, but increasing the FOV or having a slider would make it feel a lot better, was a bit hard to play after a little bit.
Thanks for the comment ! Glad you liked our game !
Yeah that's true, we focused more on game mechanics and movement than in quality of life features for the player. That's a miss from us, thanks for pointing it out :)
No problem! Was a lot to do in a week so that's completely fair. Happy New Year.
It is really nervous, like it! Also the visuals and shaders you chose are interesting!
Thanks a lot, although it looks like a ps1 game, it runs as well as crysis on low-end early 2000's computer... maybe some optimization is needed :)
indeed x)
I love the movement for this game. That combined with being able to throw presents just makes it feel like a great experience overall. Wish I had more incentive to play better like an end condition or something. Good entry!
Thank you for the feedback, we sadly didn't had enough time to incorporate a game-over screen, so we chose to let the player free-roam and play with the movements at the end of the timer :D
I love rocket-jump style movement, so this was a treat!
Glad you enjoyed it :))
It's a pretty fun game. A lot more fun when i realized i could hold down the click to increase the jump. flying through the sky, trying to climb the tallest buildings, these are the things I really enjoy in a game. what was the countdown for? i thought i had a time limit for each delivery, but it didn't restart. nothing really seemed to happen?
Thanks for your feedback :)
The countdown was to have a game over screen with high score and such, but we didn't have time to implement it, so basically for now it's useless.
You start with a timer of 150 seconds, then you gain 10 seconds per gift delivered, but well, since there is no game over, i guess you can just free roam around the map without minding it ;)
This game is so bomb, it feels really good to launch yourself into the sky and gain a huge boost over time. It's also super fun to try to race around and return the gifts - it feels very rewarding. Cool idea!!
Thanks a lot ! We're really happy that you enjoyed the experience :):) Thanks for the feedback :D
WOW! What a great game, I was pleasantly surprised by how good this game was, it feels good to play, it's fun and addictive.
I think the only problem is that it doesn't have a WebGL version. I think that's why it's going so unnoticed.
Merry Christmas! 🎄 <3
Thanks for the review and the comment, this mean a lot to us <3
Also thanks for the heads up, we will try to do a webGL build for the next time, we were really short on time !
Merry Christmas! 🎄
If you're able you can still publish a web build! I've seen a bunch of people do it so far. Voting still has some time left too!
If it's not against the rules i'll look into it ! Thanks :)
Even tho I reeeeally suck at movement based games and I could barely make it up to any roof (xD) it is a cool idea to boost yourself around with the candy cane! Maybe if you want to keep on working on the game give the player the possibility to change the mousespeed. Because mine was way to high and I got a little motion sick, but to be fair I do get motion sick all the time so it might only be me again. :D
The music is a very fitting vibe for the gamefeel.
I would advise to make the game playable in the browser for your next jam, so that more people play it after you put all the work in. c:
Thank you for the feedback it means a lot <3
We are currently working on the game to fix optimization problems, add game over screen etc... We also want to add some QOL and options for the player (hello mouse sensitivity :D and sorry for your motion sickness :O). And for sure we will be working on a browser build next time !
Thanks again and merry Christmas !
I'm glad you enjoyed the music ! :) Thank you buddy !
