It's basically Angry Birds, but with a few interesting ideas. For example, I enjoyed the bouncing platforms a lot. The graphics are simple but good, as is the sound. I would have liked to have music in the game, currently there is only music in the main menu.
A very fun and interesting idea! The mechanic of equipping weapons tied to a specific direction is something I've never seen before, and definitely makes deciding where to aim pretty chaotic. The fact that these weapons are also your lives is also an interesting twist.
The character designs all look very cool and good, and the sound and music aren't bad either. Very impressive!
For my taste, the field of view could be a bit larger, which would also allow for more enemies (and even more chaotic situations, I would guess).
Very valuable feedback. I was thinking about making the bullets bigger, or making the character even slower if you just move the stick gently, but a bit of auto-aim might help too, I'll definitely try that out.
Lagging is a problem even on relatively good hardware when there are a lot of zombies on screen, so I definitely need to optimize some more :D (that's also why there's no webbuild, btw. That was even worse performance-wise).
A good looking, good feeling game, with a lot of funny meta humor! (I defnitly had to laugh a few times!).
I feel like you are relatively safe in the middle of the road? It's weird because it doesn't look like it in your screenshots, but I could just stand in the middle of the street for minutes without getting hit. Maybe this could be fixed if the other cars had more movement options (maybe you'll encounter another crazy ghost driver, just like yourself). But of course I understand that time is always a limiting factor in a game jam!
One very minor issue I had was that the Z-odering sometimes didn't work properly (oddly enough, it seems to be right after the introduction of the cones, but before that, my car was sometimes behind other cars when I was supposed to be in front)
Other than that the game is definitely fun, well made and worth a try. I also found the music quite fitting.
I think this is more of an early proof of concept, but I could definitely see this becoming a cool little game in the future. Give me some solo player, Pikmin-like tasks and it would definitely be fun!
I tried playing it with myself (which didn't work out so well :D), and from what I can tell, it's a pretty solid game. Graphics and music are great, and the gameplay seems fun and chaotic as well. I could definitely see myself playing it with friends, and I'm going to try it out with a friend tomorrow to tune up my raiting.
Not only are the graphics, sound effects, and music fantastic, but so is the idea of the game itself, the level design, and the polish! Aside from a few minor things (for example, aiming was confusing at times), this is a true masterpiece that I can definitely see myself playing as a complete release someday!
This is a really cool game! The graphics look good and atmospheric, and the soundtrack is really fitting. It gets chaotic very quickly, but in a fun way, and exploring the different enemy types is interesting.
Actually, the game is pretty similar to mine in terms of gameplay, which is hopefully a good thing :D
Anyway, well done, I recommend giving this game a try!
The game is a good, solid platformer. Graphics and sound are okay, a few more elements would have been nice. It would have helped the chaos theme as well.
Fun little game. The concept actually has similarities to my game!
I really liked the graphics, and the sound was good too, but music would have been a nice addition.
Gameplay-wise, the game is definitely fun! The idea of applying upgrades to yourself and your enemies definitely makes you think twice about every decision, and the upgrades themselves are cool and chaotic too.
The game seemed a little strange to me, especially the music. But I like the concept, and it's definitely fun to try it out for a while. And chaotic too, which was more or less the point of this jam!
I think the game feels very good, I like the simple graphics and also the sound effects. Music is definitely something that should be added though.
Although the levels are very hard, they are not very chaotic (at least up to the point I played). I would like to see more dynamic elements in the levels.
Aside from that, I think this game has potential and you should give it a try!
The game looks very good and the sound is great too. I can understand where some of the commenters are coming from that the controls feel a little off, but I think they're fine, especially for a game jam game.
Exploring the effects of the various potions is definitely fun (and chaotic, too, which is obviously good). With more enemy variety and a little more varied level design, I could definitely see this being a very enjoyable game!
The game is simple, but surprisingly difficult :D The changing symbols are a nice spin on the classic Guitar Hero gameplay. The graphics are very simple, but they tell you what to do. I would have liked it if the music was more fitting, but I understand that's hard to achieve in the time of a game jam. The changing icons really make the game chaotic, which is good!
This game is pretty similar to mine :D The gameplay is good and fun, I like the idea that the boxes sometimes survive more than one hit. Music and sound are sadly missing, which would have made the game more fun, as well as different weapons or some kind of upgrade system. The 3D models on the other hand are pretty good.
This prototype is very simple, but you can definitely feel the potential of the idea. The graphics and sound are very basic, but it was fun to try out the different effects. I think if more effects are added to deepen the gameplay a bit, and of course polish up the game, this could become a very fun experience!
But even in this prototype version, it's worth a try.
That's a good question :D I think something with a more happy atmosphere would be more fitting, since the whole game has a fun setting, I'd say. I don't know, I was thinking something nintendo-like or arcade-like. But it's really hard to tell without playing the game and hearing something.
Hope it helps anyway :)
It would really mean a lot to me if you tried my game too!
Wow, the game is pretty similar to mine :D (Which is good, I hope..).
Graphically one of the most impressive games this jam. It's fun too, with all the different things happening, enemies and upgrades. And chaotic too, most of the time!
I could totally see this game being released on a mobile platform as it is, it's so polished.
Interesting idea. The game is well made, the music and graphics are good, the sound is lacking, but that's not so bad. I think the game has its strongest levels when more than one of the balls is actually needed to advance in the level. Otherwise it often feels like try and error, which is fine, but the other levels are more fun imo.
Interesting to see a different approach to the zombie theme! :D (my game is also about zombies).
The game itself is well made. It has good sound and music, and the graphics are fine too. However, I think the game is way too easy. It takes a long time for the action to start, and because of that, the game is neither challenging nor chaotic, which is a bit unfourtante.
That being said, the game is still well made and worth a try!
The game is good, it has good sound and graphics, and is overall quite polished. As other commenters mentioned, it could have had more animations to make certain interactions more obvious. I liked the upgrade system, and the chaos event is fun, but it rarely happens, and all the other time the game isn't chaotic at all (which is nothing wrong, however, it doesn't fit the theme 100% of the time)
Very cool game. It's extremely polished and the visuals are great, one of the best in this game jam. There are also a lot of fun character designs. While I liked the music, the sounds of the game are sometimes quite distracting and too loud imo. And while the gameplay is chaotic, it's also pretty simple most of the time, too (at least for as long as I played).
Great game. Sound and graphics are good, and the game is fun, especially in multiplayer. I think more obstacles would make the gameplay more interesting and also more chaotic (but of course i can understand that time is the limiting factor)
Overall it's a nice arcade-like game that is definitely fun to play for a while!
Interesting game. I like the graphics a lot. I also like the music, but it's a bit too epic for my taste, and does not fit the game so well. The gameplay is fun, and although it's a bit slow at first, it gets faster and also more chaotic and difficult to avoid the chickens as time goes on.
Overall, an entertaining game that I could definitely see myself playing on a mobile platform or similar!
Graphics and sound are very simple (while the sounds are very fun!), and at least I haven't gotten to the point where it gets really messy because it's pretty hard. I also think that there are no checkpoints, which is quite frustrating. Which is a little unfortunate, because the many mechanics could make for some interesting level design. I got through the first level and then died pretty quickly, but even though the controls felt a bit clunky, it was still interesting.
Very cool game! I liked the simple artstyle, totally suitable for this game. The music and sound is also good, while I think the shooting sound is a little loud and high pitched.
But the real gem of this game is the upgrade system and the changing distortions. It was really fun trying to decide which upgrade would be the best. The distortion gets pretty hard to handle after a while, but I think that fits the theme of the jam.
Very cool game with a pretty unique art style. The gameplay is fun, and everything about the game seems very polished. It's definitely fun to shoot and fly around because of the knockback. I just think that there isn't as much chaos, perhaps more enemies would have been appropriate as well.
Very cool idea. The task of managing so many different characters at once and losing control of them as soon as you manage another one gets very chaotic indeed pretty quickly. And also very challenging, which I like a lot!
The graphics and music are fine, though some interactions definitely lack sound, that would have made it even nicer. I personally think it's okay to select characters with the mouse, it definitely adds to the chaos, and simply assigning buttons to each character as other commenters have suggested might have made the game too easy.
The game itself is pretty well done. The graphics and especially the player animations are pretty good, making the movement very fun (imo one of the most important parts of a game like this).
The camera was a bit weird at times, and there was rarely a real thread by the enemies. Imo the enemies could be stronger or there could just be more enemies.
Other than that, a great game. Soundtrack was great too! Definitely give it a try!
The game is pretty polished for what it is, and just exploring all the different traps that appear over time is fun. The music and sounds fit the style of the game very well, and even though it gets more and more chaotic, it doesn't feel unfair at some point.
The multiplayer, which I unfortunately wasn't able to try out, I imagine is also very fun. I could definitely see this game being released with more obstacles, areans, and game modes at some point.
