Cool idea, i liked the game and the tunnels.
Glad you liked it!
Hey pretty fun game, the way the pumpkin roll is so funny and somewhat random. But sometimes i can get stuck on the tunnel by circling it for a few seconds. The hay at the end i think just triggered for the first time playing, after i pressed play again the hay is not triggered anymore. And maybe if you give jump button, a small gap, and maybe spike that can destroyed the pumpkin will be more fun.
I appreciate the feedback!
The hay-bale trigger has been identified and I'm still trying to find the issue unfortunately.
And I'll keep the suggestions in mind for the possible post-jam update!
We ended up making pretty similar games! I like that stuff happens in your map like the falling haybales. The collectible coins could have been highlighted more so they actually look collectible!
Wish there were multiple levels too but pretty cool little game overall!
Glad you had fun!
I had intended on giving the coins motion at least, simple rotation, but I didn't get to it/forgot about it at the end haha
I really did like this game instantly when you positioned us on the start line.
Some observations:
The assets used worked very well. And level design was fun for a fast roll. Like others, I was motivated to try multiple times to use the tubes, squish stuff, make the pitchfork jump...go for speed, go for coins, etc. Could be a good start to a bigger game.
Thank you very much for the feedback, especially about the pitchfork bug!
It will help me improve the level design for the post jam update.
I also made this with a possible multiplayer update in mind, so hopefully I can get this balanced enough :)
This is what it looks like for me in browser full screen (1920 x 1080).
While playing again to get you a screen shot, I see that the location is fine when windowed
The reason for this is likely the screen resolution. It looks like your game was made for 800 x 600 resolution (or some other scale with same ratio, 1.33). So on a wider screen (1920 x 1080 is 1.77 ratio), some items fall off screen vertically due to pixel height and anchor positions. I actually had a very similar issue on my game where the UI placement was a mess at different screen resolution ratios). To fix this in Unity, on your UI canvas, add a UI scaler component. Set the resolution your game is built at 800 x 600 and set the match to 1 (so that it will match height, which is what you want for a game that is landscape orientation). Finally, it's a good practice to anchor your UI items from the closest edge. In this case the timer located at the top of the screen should be anchored to the top-center. In this way the rect dimensions will then define how far the timer text object is from this anchor position.
Related to the discussion on score:
The first image above was taken just before crossing the finish line, with a current score of 4100. Than half a second later screenshot 2 shows a score of 54,899. This is why I felt the 'score' may have been off screen. It is hard to connect the 4100 to 54,899 result. I guess you could break the score down to something like this:
Total score: XXXX
Since the coins are kind of a 'bonus'. Either way, we agree the coin value should be more balanced as their current contribution to score feels inconsequential.
I'm new to this stuff too. Please don't take the above post as anything other than someone sharing something they also struggled with and trying to share the resolution they found. Best of luck to you.
edits to fix typos.
I love the level design in this game. Went back and replayed several times to try all the secret paths and jumps that I noticed on my first couple of runs. The art is also very good for a game jam!
Thanks! Glad you liked it! I gave myself such little time that I forced myself to come up with something. Level design is my biggest weakness, so I'm glad it turned out well for peoples enjoyment :)
And the artist really pulled through with a last day request, true MVP!
Fun and simple!
That was the goal!
Nice graphics, smooth gameplay, smart level setup.
This is a very good game!
Thank you! The artist really pulled through with a last minute request for assets on the last day, much props to him!
The level design was something I really tried to think about, almost felt it wasn't good enough, but seems people are enjoying it regardless :D
Really good fun, this! Shame about the lack of sounds as they'd add some good 'feedback', but I played a few times, nonetheless. The camera follow is nice and smooth, too
Ya, I unfortunately couldn't get to audio in time, and couldn't think of a fitting melody/instruments. Still can't honestly, but I will see about a post jam update to include audio and other things such as a leaderboard and multiplayer!
And glad you liked the camera, I was very happen with how it turned out. If you would like to see it being done, It's actually in the 1st dev log video. I speed up the actual coding portion, but you can still pause at parts and read it :)
Im anjoyed this game
Glad you enjoyed it! :D
Cool idea!
Thank you!
