Amazing capsule art and music :) Here are my points:
- The game feels very random, first time I played it I was immediately game over because a fan spawned on top of me I think, another time two guitars were right next to me on starting;
- I found the audio for being hit by an obstacle displeasing to the point of taking me out of the experience;
- The game fails you very quick, fans seem to pass through buildings I assumed I couldn't go through, and after you've been touched a couple of times the game over screen shows up very fast;
- I won by accident after collecting the last guitar, having no idea this was the last one, maybe I missed a counter somewhere?;
- The cars are hard to anticipate and pretty fast, controls feel sluggish in comparison because diagonal movement doesn't seem to be supported;
- The pace of the game feels a little frantic, it sort of fits with the theme, but I think the experience would gained by being more controlled overall, and probably slowed down;
- There was no indication on how to start the game that I could find, ended up randomly pressing keys;
- Fans seemed to randomly rush towards me coming from nowhere without any clear indication on how I got detected in the first place, felt like the game was cheating me;
- I liked the theme and the overall retro vibe.
Loved the game! I think someone else already mentioned this but the "Press enter" on the title screen was kinda hidden. I also thought the sound when you take damage was a little jarring. That is probably just personal preference.
Loved the graphics and all the other sounds.
Loved the game! Simple and sweet. My only gripe with it would be WASD controls, or maybe even controller support, since it only requires movement and nothing else, so I assume it should be easy to set up (it is in Unity anyway, not sure what you used here).
Great game! Love the premise and the music. I wasn't too sure of the controls but quickly figured them out. Also on the start screen I didn't see the press enter to start for a while.
I love the premise and the music! \nn/ >.< \nn/.
Here are my thoughts:
1. Good pixel art. Charismatic and funny. I would have expected more rock-punk vibes in the city, like graffitis or posters of the rock start you play.
2. The first time i played the game, I didn't have any audio, and I thought that was the game, until I finished the level, and the victory sound started. In my second play, the music and SFX worked as expected.
3. At first, I wasn't sure what to do. I would add a screen before the level starts that explains the controls, and the goal is to collect electric guitars, while evading fans and other stuff.
4. The level felt short, there could be more guitars. For example, after getting a certain number, new guitars spawn on the stage.
Wow, the sound track is amazing! This has really cool vibes from the get go. Full of attitude and style.
It took me a while to spot the 'press enter to play' down the side of the screen. I would suggest making that a bit more obvious, but I really like the idea of the vinyl coming out of the sleeve, so cool. At least it gave me more time to enjoy the soundtrack.
I had no problems with the gameplay other than fans clipping through scenery and that getting hit by a car makes the character lose clothes.
Great job on finishing the game and I think you've got tonnes of style!
Great job on completing this!
This game is full of style and character, I really dig it! Short but sweet, and has a strong arcade-feel. I can see this being ported to an arcade cabinet and folks lining up to play it. It's loud, the visuals are great in terms of expression, and it's got that nice, open city plan to roam around getting items and trying to avoid fangirls and traffic.
Don't know about the dangly bit, might have to leave him in undies. But it's pretty funny either way.
Would be curious to see where this game could go if expanded upon and polished. Well done!
Congratulations my Friend. This is the Best game i played so Far. This is great game. I loved the concept and the cute characters. The music and the gameplay. It was so fun. Congratulation.i wish you the best for your Game!! I wish your Newborn is Good and healthy now!!
