This is really fun. I really liked the idea and game design. Kinyas&Elaine
Amazing action packed 1v1 (bot) game. Really liked how to add the "rebirth" theme to it (by changing the 'generation' after score).
Not gonna lie, the AI is actually quite well coded! Very smooth, smart and exciting to play against. This demonstrates the powerfulness of Kaplay engine.
Feels cool, a bit like air hockey, but I couldn’t tell which side I should be making goals in, or what was happening in general. Not sure how rebirth factored in, though that may be because I was very confused the whole time! Still pretty fun though, so nice job!!
Thanks!
I think the fact that I played it in a larger size might have affected it a bit, in a small size it feels even more chaotic.
About rebirth it is normal that you are barely able to see it... I wanted to make it more obvious, but I didn't have much time to dedicate to the jam. There are stats that get better on "rebirth" (you are faster, have more stamina, shoot with more power, etc.). But the change is not very visible, because the initial stats are more than enough (and in a small canvas size even less important xD)
Fun idea, really curious of what ghost mode should've been. It need some tweaking even on the gameplay side, it's working like air hockey but maybe it's better to put a limit to where a character can go or if football was your aiming like i think then maybe something to take the ball for a limited time with you and then "shoot" would've been better.
I would love to see it continued.
Thanks :) To be fair I don't know exactly what I wanted to do about that xD.
My original idea for the jam did not have anything in common with this (it was more like a mix of fruit ninja with scrabble, something pretty weird :) ) but I didn't have much time to dedicate to this and I wanted to upload something.
There are a couple of things going on here:
- I played it in full screen mode in my browser during development and it is the first thing that I upload to itch.io, so I had no idea what it would usually be the size. Seems like the default size is comically small for this, I probably should have changed it xD
- Had a couple ideas, the initial one that I had with the hearts was that each time you receive 3 goals, you get converted into a ghost and then you "rebirth" after deciding in a menu what statistic to level up.
- But there was an issue, I couldn't get the physics right and the AI even less so, so you would never receive 3 goals.
- I wanted to upload something and at least be somewhat on theme, so I put an "auto-death" after some time and a number of required goals in total across all generations to "win" the "Bean D'Or". After each generation some stats are increased (you are a bit faster, shoot with a bit more power, etc). But this is very difficult to notice.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing and congrats on pushing it and shape it to upload something even it wasn't you ideal concept.
For the size yes you can change in the page of the game even after you have loaded of course, but i don't know about the jam so maybe it's better to ask or wait until it's finished and you can also set that you want it to launch full screen.
