Thank you for your feedback 😁 yeah it is quite tricky! would have loved to get more of the features in and I can see us/myself adding hints and tutorial snippets to help resolve some of those initial game learning hurdles.
The lag spike is an odd behaviour with unreal engine when you are not focussed on the window to do with physics, we just need to add a few more checks in the code to make it pause the game when you alt tab and that should hopefully fix the lag spikes. Or was it perhaps another circumstance when you experienced that?
Glad you like it! thanks 😀 yeah we originally planned quite a few more features but due to team availability we had to make some cuts (on average each team member was only available for a week of the jam during evenings).
Cut plans were: boss fight, a store that allows you to buy better cannon balls, lemons instead of oranges for better scurvy prevention, a more absorbent mop, stronger planks, more plank crates, more cannon crates, goo damages the players, multiplayer.
Either way though it was a lot of fun and we all made new friends in the process. I hope more people get a chance to check out the game and enjoy it. I can us (or at least myself 😅) continuing to work on this project and making it into a fun little indie game with more features. Each member of the team put in a lot of effort and covered gaps in skillsets to make this happen!
Enjoy our little game! The team had a lot of obligations during the 2 weeks and so we had to cut a lot of features, but nonetheless it should be a fun experience! Looking forward to the next one 😁 Hopefully next time we are not so busy during the jam so we can really commit some time to it! ♥ Met these guys from the game jam and made some new friends, will be joining the next jam for sure!
