There is a lot of texts to read first, and it wasn't easy to try to protect Oswald with a useless gun against policemen which spawns on his face. But I love the concept !
Yep I agree that there are a few instances where the enemies would just spawn above Waldo, I couldn't get around to fixing that :P
Thanks for the feedback though!
Neat idea! I couldn't get very far — it seems like I just keep losing within the first minute and I'm not sure why. It also doesn't seem possible to select tickets (the purchase buttons don't seem to do anything). I dig the narrative though.
Actually yes the tickets work, they offer different amounts of time before the enemies spawn. I just forgot to put a sign or something in regards to that so it seemed like it does nothing :P
Thanks for the feedback tho, I'll work on it!
OSWAAAALD.
Cool concept! Protecting Oswald is really hard when enemies appear and immediately shoot, though. I try to keep up but if Oswald doesn't avoid the first bullet is very hard to go on. Overall I really like this, though! The art is cute and the music slaps. This has great potential!
Thank you! I'll probably raise the health of Oswald next time. Originally the enemies don't spawn immediately which helped a bit but i guess that version didn't save properly before Unity crashed at the last minute.
Thanks for the feedback too! I really appreciate it. :)
The art looks nice. The tutorial and the introduction to the game are too long and every time you die in the game you have to skip it instead of restarting the level. Try that instead. The game is hard too because Oswald dies by one shot.
Thanks for the feedback! Oswald does not die in one shot. He has 3 bars of health and the least amount of shots it would take is 2 shots to kill, depending on which type of gun was shot at him. Oh yea, i could have immediately restarted the level instead why didn't i think of that oops :P
I'll work on the game, thanks for trying it out!
Nice game, but the intro/explanation is a bit too long. Overall i like the concept and the game, you made a great work!
Thank you! I guess I could cut down on the explanation a little, maybe make it seem more like a story and more immersive instead of a chunk of text too.? Thanks for the feedback!
Quite a long explanation that I didn't follow up proprley as I lost in 3 second! But it's cool!
Thanks for the feedback! I agree, I could have cut the instructions a little shorter but they are what makes up the story :)
Nice idea with nice graphics. Explanation is bit long but not boring. Cool game mate!
Thanks! :D
I love the art you made for this game. Gameplay is difficult to understand because of the lengthy explanation upfront. I could not figure out how to earn money. But great job loved trying it!
Thanks for playing! You earn money through killing enemies, but i think the money system has some problems for some people. You can auto collect 1000 coins by pressing M in game(a debugging feature :P)
Anyways, thanks for the feedback, I'll work on it.
Funny! Good job! Cool music! I like it!
Thank you!
i really really loved the art and sounds, overall a great game.
Thanks!
The art style is great but the gameplay is confusing and hard.
the general idea is great so keep at it!
Thanks for the feedback! I'm not particularly good at game design hehe, but I'll keep that in mind and keep improving, thanks!
Hi !
I like the idea you had, I find it really funny !
But I can't manage to play more than 30 seconds at each of my attempts because Oswald have not enough health. Also, my bullets are hitting Oswald so it makes the game really harder as you have to get close to Oswald to protect him but not too close otherwise he will take the damage from your gun.
Except the gameplay, the graphics are nice and the sounds works well !
Well done :)
Thank you! Hm... I guess I could have made it easier in that way too, its been really hard to balance the game :P
Oswald had 3 bars of health, like the other civilians, while enemies had 4 bars of health. I guess I wanted to make it such that while you get an upgrade, it is easier to kill enemies but also harder to protect Oswald or something.
Anyways, thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it!
Good job making the game !
The gameplay is a bit confusing because it lacks feedback when bullets hit people. You don't really know if what you are doing has an impact until the enemy dies. It would have been also good to have some feedback about Oswald health and level progress. Overall try to focus on adding some feedbacks so the player can understand what's going on. And finally, the game is hard and the cheat button helps. I know it's really hard to balance a game but I think for a game jam it's better to have an easy game than a hard one. So next time I think you should tweak the values to make it easy by default without needing a cheat.
Congrats !
Ok, thanks for the feedback! Ah ok, so I need more post processing and keep stuff short and sweet in future jams hehe. :P
I guess I learn something new everyday. Thanks!
I adore the art so much.
Thank you!
An interesting concept of the game, the design is very good, the background music is not bad. In my opinion it is a very huge instruction, it is better to shorten it a little. But so much I liked to play
Please check my game and I would appreciate if you will rate it as well ;)
Thanks for the feedback!
Actually its supposed to be a choices-matter story game too mixed with the top down shooter genre. Hence the massive amounts of story telling.
I guess I should have used voice-overs or some comic panels to show the story, maybe for next time!
Sure, I'll try out your game in a bit!
The idea is really cool but the gameplay has some problems and little bugs. The game is fun and sounds are really cool !
Thanks for playing! The bugs were a huge pain to fix but I did my best to fix most of them :D
I appreciate the feedback :)
Interesting idea. Would have loved some more feedback on the shooting and hitting part.
Thanks for the feedback! I agree that I could have done more post-processing, however as one person doing the art, code, sounds and design, it wasn't particularly helpful that my friends were constantly stacking onto the list of mechanics to add in :P
Thanks for playing too!
Haha, got it! I know how a one-man game jam feels like! :D
I think the game needs a faster pace, and maybe like 4 bullets, the instructions were a bit too overwhelming but I guess that is the point.
Thanks for playing! I believe that the newer guns in the shop upgrades provide more bullets per magazine. (im sorry i didnt display that)
All the guns in the shop are upgrades, the ACP giving you 10 bullets, 300 Magnum giving 4 bullets and so on.
Yep, its supposed to be somewhat a story-based game so i guess it could be a little overwhelming. :P
I appreciate the feedback, I'll make it a point to leave a description next time around!
Very good idea, love the art
Thanks for playing! :D
A very ambitious combination with a very charming art style! It seems to be a bit on the hard side, though, I was not able to save Oswald after a few attempts.
Thanks! i actually agree (this game was so hard balance), :P I've also had problems beating the game, however after simplifying it and using some of the upgrades in the shop, its possible to beat. Anyways , thanks for playing!
