Okay this was fun to play, the enemy started jumping around in any direction and somehow killed me 15 times in a row XD 10/10. Nice game, great job! :D
LMFAOOOOOOOOO okay probs the funniest comment i've seen today, thanks for playing mate :D
Hey thanks for the feedback everyone! Idk if I am going to update this game but I might create this same concept with a different game inside, thanks so much for playing and leaving feedback. Love yall :D
Not sure what to do. But interesting. https://itch.io/jam/wowie-jam-2/rate/551930
? thanks
Okay so yeah this game is awesome,I am rly impressed at the art, I think it's cute :DD its a small little experience but the Jam was only 3 days long so well done!
Why thank you lyssa :D
This is a really cool game! I couldn't tell if my low score was the bug part or me being bad though. I really enjoyed your interpretation of the theme. :)
Yo dude thanks alot actually :D yeah there wasnt enough time for me to make an ending and stuff so there is no cap to the scores and the gameplay is just very buggy haah so im sure you did your best :D
thanks for playin :D
I also rly love the implementation of the theme. I love the spiders and just the little quirks in the game
Nice, like the menu and the "what??" if you click on the play button
THanks! and there is actually 3 different voice lines that will play when you click the play button for the first time, it just does it randomly. Glad someone enjoyed that lul
thanks for playing :DD
I LOVE THE VARIATIONS IN THESE LITTLE VOICE LINES
The game was really fun, great submission. I really liked your logo that faded in before the game started, it made it seem more "professional", I need to look into doing something like that myself
haha thanks about the intro, I love branding and marketing and stuff like that so even those little things compel me, I wanna have my game studio eventually. Thanks for playin the game :D
Nice idea and a fun game :D
The graphics are also appealing and the sound fits.
Thanks for the nice comments :0 I hope you enjoyed the gameeeee :D
good game really creative and cool concept! Check out my game if you get the chance I mean you are a Caterpillar with a handgun what's not to like!?!
Thanks for playin :D imma check it out rn
This was a fun and cute game! I liked the visuals a lot!
Yeah thanks alot! It was my first time creating a game with my own art :D
Good idea!
Want to see more bugs! :D
haha hey thanks! more bugs inc!
Very Adictive game i like it
damn you right do! haha jk just kidding thank you!
Not too addicting but could be I guess
Fun! I love the art style!
Hey thanks alot actually, first game I made with my own art :/ I usually have my girlfriend create my art but I gave it a shot this time around, pretty proud of myself no cap.
Thanks for playin :D
I managed to crash it as well as some other players I've seen in the comment section. Overall i like the game. I also managed to glitch the player out of the battle screen by turning on and off the monitor. P
retty nice details. Good Job!
Ayeeeee well done on breaking the game! haha yeah i need to release a small patch build
Thanks for playing!
As someone else also mentioned, it crashes when i turn the TV off.
But overall I think it really fits the theme of the jam. Hope you have the time check my game out
Yeah must be a stack overflow or something, I rly don't know why it would crash, I know the non browser versions do NOT crash, maybe I gotta upload them. I just wanted a browser playable cause its nicer for people...Thanks for the feedback :D
Nice game with cool pixel art. :)
I felt like the turning on button is a bit unclear I honestly took like a minute to start the wodnerboy but that probably has alot to do with my own stupidity. :D
LOL no thats not your stupidity, that was my time management or my mis managment of time more like it, I tried to add a sign to the side of the WonderBoy but it looked weird and ugh yeah I uploaded the game at like 12:59 pm so lots of bugs
Thanks for playing :D
Really cool game! I like how it's a "Wonderboy" you play on. Nice touch with turning it on!
However, when I turned it off in the middle of playing, the game crashed I think.
I also noticed when playing that the best tactic was to just stand still and spam the shoot button. I think if you added a crouching function it would add a whole new layer to the game, so you can duck the bullets and fire low bullets. Also I think it would be more satisfying if I fired everytime I pressed the button.
I also don't really see that much about intentional bugs here, but maybe I'm missing something?
But really cool game though! I like this versus type game.
Thanks for the constructive words :) I wish I couldve executed this just slightly better, like if I had like 6 more hours. There are some simple cleanup things I could do to make it slightly more aesthetic and fun. anyways thanks for plyaihg mah dude
WonderBoy is a lot of fun. The visuals work well, it fits the theme amazingly, and it is certainly one of the more interesting implementations of said theme. It's fun to play in short bursts especially with the satisfying sound design.
The game loop is quite simple, unfortunately without visual aid on deaths or any sort of score / objective that I noticed it quickly got repetitive.
It can not be understated how well the visuals here work. They are outstanding. The themes implementation creates situations which turn what I would consider an action game into one where you need to out think your opponent with, at times, you only getting glimpses of your enemy.
Overall it was quite fun, though it isn't something I can play for very long before it feels repetitive. Good job, keep it up!
GODDAMN now that is a constructive comment! thank you so much. I completely agree with everyone you said here. I was just trying to go more for an aesthetic than I was an actual game, I wish I had more time to work on the Enemy AI and other enemy features, but it is what it is! 3 days is not a lot of time :D
Thanks for playing, imma be checking out everyone who commented's project here in a min. :DDD
Ayoo thanks for tryin out me game :D i am very tired its 1:10 am gn everyone! hope yall had fun with this wowie jam, Leave your games in the comments and ill chekc that shit out in the morning :)
