It was fun, original and had a perfect difficulty curve. Although, I experienced some problems playing with TYU-GHJ-BNM mode.
It seemed to work perfectly at first, but when the monsters where you have to press their number (not the position) appeared, some worked, and some others didn't. It detected as if I was pressing the position (which was empty and resulted in penalization) instead of that number. I think this happened specially with nums 3, 5 and 9. I don't know if this happens only without a numpad, or if it's a bug happening only on this pc. Anyhow, it's best if you take a look at it after the jam, so other players don't experience the same issue.
Personally, I felt a bit confused with the explanations at the start of the levels. No big deal, as I managed to learn the system while playing, but maybe you could explore more ways to explain these things. I understand the small resolution is limiting, though.
Oh, I almost forgot: I love the transitions between scenes, and the art in general!
Good job!
Thanks for your insightful reply. Currently if player hits the position instead of the number of a Num monster, his hit will be transmitted to the numpad key of the number of it. And if the position transmitted is not empty, player's health will not get cost. This is a feature by design. But it is indeed confusing. I'm planning to make an extended version of this game. I'll consider how to make it not that confusing. Really appreciated for your feedback!
Could you explain this a bit more? I'm not sure if I got it. If it is a design choice, I want to try the game again with that in mind.
I played keeping in mind the game instructions that said “3. Monsters with Number must hit with the corresponding Numpad key, not its actual position.” I understand that if a Num Monster appears in position 3 but features number 5, you should hit 5, right? But that worked only sometimes. Am I missing something else?
Thank you for your quick reply :)
This was fun. I love the vibe overall, and the transition screen is great, especially when you die.
The game's pretty funny, and is a really fun take on whack-a-mole.
One of my faves of the game jam.
Cute game! I love your cute transition ( the emoji loading animation) and the sound effect.
Congratulations, everything on this game seems well thought and made with such care.
From the little tutorial at the beggining to the cute little sprites. Amazing!
Just loved it. Really. I'm speechless.
