cool game! i found the screaming a little off-putting (detracted from rather than enhancing my play experience) and the flying in peoples faces a little tedious after a while, but i really appreciate the unique concept and comical premise. nice work!

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback ^^


I'll try tri remake the sound for the game :) Thanks for pointing that out, i can think about some mehanics as well :D

Definitely a unique mechanic idea. Although the game is missing pacing. I was just doing nothing for a long time until a person showed up but then I died for some reason before even reaching the person. The screen did not fit my window either.

Thanks for playing and for the feedback ^^

Glad you liked the idea  :) i'll try to fix things, for some reason sometimes people get invisible, propably that's why you died. I'll try to fix this as well  ^^

fun little game! 

But I think it needs a tutorial, it took me a while to understand that i have to hit the people, not avoid them. Seemed too slow too imo.

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback ^^

Surely i'll try to fix it  and add some tutorials :)

I like the art and Idea, good coloring feels nice, only con from my perspective is it being slow

Developer

Glad you enjoyed ^^

I don't know why but when i've built it in 1080p it became really slow. Thanks for pointing it, i'll try to fix it when the jam is over :D 

*I dont know if it is ok to fix it during the jam since we aint in the submit period anymore

Nice pixel art and retro aesthetic, simple to play, screams are a bit too loud x) Cool little game but would be nice to be able to move left and right :)

Developer

Glad you liked it :D

Nice suggestion  ^^ i'll try to implement it in the future

Nice visuals,  and the idea is good, but i found some issues that I think you might want to know!

As far as I went, all you needed to do is to hold the spacebaar and nobody could hit you haha, its really too much easy so its not so much fun.

You should try to implement restrictions to force the player, or maybe other types of enemies. Maybe flying doesnt really add that much to the concept and you should stay with a bug that doesnt fly and just changing layers.

There are other minor issues that you could check, like the bug its allways printed in front of the people, even if its in a further layer.

In anycase its awesome that you managed to make it for the jam! Great work!

Developer

Thanks for the advices and thanks for playing :D

Glad you enjoyed the visuals :) 

i've implemented a system to kill you every time you let 3 runners escape without hitting their faces so i think it should prevent the player from just holding down the space bar.

the bug where you are always printed in front of people is a big problem, i needed to change the bug position in hierarchy in Godot for him to be printed behind as far as i know, so in the way i designed the project it was made impossible to do without changing a lot of things and i was really running out of time :/

i'll try to correct all of this in a post jam build :D 


Thanks again for playing and fot the tips!
