Yea it's just pc. Sorry about that. More than likely it's misnamed cuz when I submitted this I was exhausted and frustrated at the same time and just wanted to be done with it. I didn't even notice lol

As already mentioned, the tips should definitely be given before you need to know them. Took me a second to realize it worked like a twin stick shooter. I was like...why am I walking backwards lol. It's a very unforgiving game. A little feedback on how much health I have would have been a big help. It promises fish in trenchcoats with guns and that's definitely what it delivers. Fairly fun game and I hope you develop it further
I had the same problems as BlackRoseMii. Also, while I get leaving the player to their own devices as to what is going on with your game, my biggest pet peeve is zero instruction whatsoever. It took me a good 6-8 min of pressing every button on the keyboard just to figure out how to control the character
This has some tight controls. I didn't get real far, but for what I did play there wasn't a whole lot of reason to jump. I could just run across the bottom carrying a cannon dude. I dig his special. I was never able to pick up 3 different guys, tho I tried. It seemed to always remove one? I'm probably doing it wrong. Either way, there's no reason to ever pick up anyone other than the cannon dude. A little variation in their firing pattern would make this much more challenging. Either way the characters are really cool and I can see how a lot could be done with it
yea i just went with a quick and dirty implementation, figuring that in MOST cases, after the first put, you generally want to aim toward the hole. I discovered early on that I needed SOME sort of system like that, otherwise you get overwhelmed quickly. Originally there were a LOT more enemies, which I plan on still doing, but not till I get the controls straightened out. As far as the traps goes, I just kinda figured that was part of the challenge. That next time around you would try to avoid it. Once the enemies start showing up, they'll kick the ball out of em too
I tried different things for the mouse aim and eventually with the time I had settled on that with the time I had. The other solutions were for it to be random, which trust me, sucked entirely, OR to set up some sort of waypoint system where it would aim towards the next waypoint in line, which I didn't have time to do. Sacrifices had to be made. If you have a better solution tho I am all ears.
So I created this game with my brother for the Indie Gamemaking Contest. We're hoping to drum up some votes by posting here. In our game, you play as a wizard trapped in a dungeon. You play mini golf while avoiding traps and killing enemies. You can check it out here https://theamazingb.itch.io/combat-mini-golf I've also included a short video I made of some of the gameplay during development
I would be honored if you would play and rate mine https://itch.io/jam/igmc2018/rate/336979
I started putting in what I call my "dev gui" for the build just to make sure everything is working. I recently had a problem where everything worked in the editor, but there were problems with the build, so I stuck in a bunch of Debug.Log for while I was running in the editor, and I also had it write it to a gui in world space but outside of camera view, then I just did a keypress listener to move that gui in and out of the camera view. I found the problem lickety split. So now I use it all the time. It's not the ideal solution, but it less time consuming than digging thru the app data to find the problem
I know I have to include a credits file. Do we have to list the assets we use that we own the rights to? For example, I'm using a monster from an asset pack I got off of the Unity Asset store. Do I have to list that? Also, some of the stuff I am using as placeholder art came from Opengameart. They don't list the creator's actual name, just their screen name. I've tried contacting them directly but the ones I am using are a few years old and I haven't gotten a response back yet as to their actual name. What I have been doing is listing the web address, the author's name, and the license it is under. Is that enough?

What makes the grass grow? Why bood of course!!! All the traps are now working. As I am coding the spells you can place on the ball, I put a shout out to all my punk rock friends in the code for my Combat Mini Golf game by giving the ball a NOFX state. Here's a little video of the blood effects
