Feels like I'm playing some ancient game on an emulator. Really great job!
Nice arcade feel.
The "Insert Coin" and the arcade machine art are awesome!
Good job!
Was quite a nice game, and the INSERT COIN thing was very ingenious. I really would have liked some coyote time, and it took me wayy too long to realise that only the egg takes damage not you. And some background music would have been appreciated.
I felt the same about having some coyote time.
I love the mix of art styles, and the fireing system was suprisingly polished for a jam game. The only thing is that having the right arrow fire no matter were your player is facing was counter intuative and took a while to get use to.
Love the art style and the fact that you have to enter a coin to play! The sprite work is well done as well and I like the classic style opening cut scene well done!
The game and art style is cute but it's musing background music which takes away the fun
This was a very unique take on the theme. The arcade like feel was a nice idea. The game looked good and sounded good but the gameplay was a little uninteresting sometimes but overall well done.
This one was pretty cute and fun! Enjoyed the shot change mechanic.
Thank you very much :)
Very cool game idea with this arcade style. Maybe stay in one style (not mixing vector art with pixel art), but in this case it works fine, because it should simulate a game machine I guess! Also I really liked the change of bullets for the different enemies, that's very similar to my game!
Thank you for your feedback and playing my game :)
Very nice style touch with the player submitting coins into the arcade machine along with the button prompts being on the side, I would say the gameplay is quite good with you climbing through the towers, although I found some of the jumps a bit hard. I do like the different types of fire you have to switch to and from. sound effects had a great retro style. I would just say that I feel some added music would have helped improve the overall experience, but still quite a fun game with a lot of potentials.
Thank you very much for your feedback :)
Yes unfortunately i had no time to add more music and sound effects ^^
Very cute game, loved the arcade style start with the coin :)
The art is awesome, did you do all the pixel art yourself?
Nice job!
Thank you very much :)
Yes i draw all sprites in this game by myself. ^^
Love the arcade cabinet style + the insert coin at the start! Art is really nice also, could use some music + I would recommend making your platforms different from your floors. Ik this is probably a time constraint thing but them having dif sprites would really help tell them apart. really good work though, great game!
Thank you very much for your feedback :)
Yes unfortunately i had no time to add more music and sound effects ^^
great game keep it up!
Thank you :)
Really love the arcade style
has great potential as well.
Thank you :)
This one is triggering a huge rush of nostalgia for me! I love the arcade cabinet and the notes with the controls on them! The gameplay and graphics gives me the same vibes as some arcade games I used to play on my dads Mac back in the day! Wow! Nicely done!
Thank you very much!
Im glad you like my art style :)
Thank you for your feedback and playing my game. :)
You have to protect the egg and bring it back to the dragon mother ^^
Hey! I loved the presentation of the game (I would change the font of “Insert Coin”). I think your game has three major issues (particularly for the ones not spending a lot of time trying each game):
I don’t see that the blocks are throughable. I only checked when there was no other way available, then I understood I missed fruits in the way just thinking they were impossible.
I don’t see the protect theme as I am not doing nothing to protect anything, just going up and picking fruits.
I don’t get why the game has these controls. It’s counterintuitive pressing Right arrow to shoot to the left, or pressing Up arrow to change shoot style, or why this game sees valuable having different shoot styles to kill enemies.
Got caught there:
Just waited 60 seconds to finish, these jumps are too difficult.
Anyways, I think I read this was your first gamejam so, congratulations! The game is very enjoyable once you understand how it goes.
Thank you for playing my game.
And thanks for your detailed feedback. This helps me a lot :)
You have to protect the egg ^^
I think this game has a ton of potential, I would like to see a bit more of the protect theme. I didn't feel like the egg was never in any kind of danger?
Still, great graphics and had a ton of fun!
Thank you for your feedback and playing my game. :)
Yes i think the egg is a little bit to small ^^
Nice game but I kept losing the thing I carry and I didnt understand why.
Thank you for your feedback.
The egg you carry will follow you automatically when you jump. :)
And it will fall down when it isn't on the platform.
