This was really neat to play! I didn’t read the instructions so I figured it out by trying different placements, angles, and powers. I love the feel of the stones hitting each other and those facial expressions are hilarious!
I admire the effort that went into the background assets. Seeing the toilet made me so happy that I made it a goal to get the radio to fall into it. Thank you for this experience.
This was fun! It took me a while to realize the discs were enemies and not power-ups but once I got the hang of it, I found it quite enjoyable. Good work!
At some point the strip casts a shadow on itself and I got nervous thinking there was a giant swinging tentacle up ahead. Then I realized it was only a shadow. Phew.
Don’t cry lil’ beet… It took me five tries but we finally got the carrot!
I like that getting it wrong allows one time to think up a strategy, and the bouncy animations were like a smile that encouraged me to keep pushing through.
I was originally planning to go solo for this, but I'm considering outsourcing for some art assets. It's my first jam, but in the past I have made games in 2-week sprints for school. I'm comfortable with Discord and Google Docs. Haven't tried Trello before, but it looks similar enough to GitHub's project cards.
My plan was to finalize the asset needs and design doc by the end of the first day (GMT-4/EST), so if you're interested in working together I can send that when it's ready. At the moment, I know for sure the perspective will be side-scrolling, and I plan to do the backgrounds so I can keep control over parallax effects. General genre/setting is typical fantasy (knights and dragons). What I'd be asking for is probably 6 items and 3 characters, with maybe 10 short (~3-frame) animated actions for two of the characters.
Does that sound feasible within a week, or am I being far too ambitious?
Also, I noticed you use Aseprite? I could set up a project file with labeled animation sequences and asset layers, and then all you'd need to do is fill in the cells.
