yay look forward to watching later tonight!

Rule number 1 of game making make good fun and responsive controls. 

I have failed..... there were reasons though

Firstly I wanted to make the deer and sleigh move in sequence and felt strongly about this visual.  I didn't know how to do this differently and sped up it broke (I know it still breaks at time s even so 😭) 

Two hadn't done physics type games before and wanted to focus on that as core play aim and design wise. On all the levels bar one you do not need to go up or down, aim mechanic is key. Due to this I again felt less bad about the lacking movement. I got that it wasn't super responsive (it's on a timer so can't do quickly) but I did like the sequential effect I had visualized. 

I am answering this is such detail not as any personal reason. Just it's an opportunity to explain as I have seen many giving the same feedback 😀 

Thanks so much for playing my game and best of luck in the competition!

Nothing wrong with dark humour can't please everyone. Still if you don't take feedback we'll when people don't like bits of your game may be better to make it more general appeal.

Really impressive but lacking some direction. Beautiful for a wander about :)

yeah feedback would be great 👍 

Very enjoyable and a cool of the wall idea :) great execution! 

working on a second video while we wait for results 

Playing power line guardians first if you want to join 

Thanks for playing, yeah fixing the castle and stopping the hatching of beast to *fix the realm was a bit of a stretch lol 

Thank you I have always loved Joust so doing a jam inspired by it was only the bucket list lol. 

I was reminded of my age as only a few have identified the homage 🙂

Thanks foe playing!

Made a gameplay Vid with your game and some other entries

Wow top notch :) we made a video featuring your game if you want more detailed feedback :)

I enjoyed this more than I should have lol, good job!

Great game cant wait to see what you come up with next :)

Really nice great graphics and design.

I enjoyed this I suppose placing blocks is a clever way to fit the theme :) love your build from the template.

Thank you!

Thanks Wesley 😀 appreciate you!

yay! I noticed my game might not be showing in the gdgames jam list (even though link is on our itch page in submission? 

Thanks for playing, so glad you enjoyed the experience.

Thanks for the feedback and getting through to the win did you get the bad ending too? 

I notice it's hard playing these multiplayer games solo as you miss a chunk of the experience or some do not function at all. 

I will Def check out yours and drop a vote 😀

Thanks mate appreciate you checking it out 😀

Very eye catching the menu system was standout game play could have used an easier first level and also a bit of game speed.

Charming game good job on the game feel.

Damn such a high quality game always impressed with what some folks achieve. Could only play one player and the game kind of gets repetive and a little dragged out after a while but I can see as a team could be super fun :)

Pretty fun mechanic a little tricky though.

Could only play one player but can see where you were going a nice concise well put together jam game good job :)

Thanks a lot for the compliment and feedback. I'll keep your points mentioned in mind for the next one I make :)

Thanks so much for playing and giving suck detailed feedback. Some lesson were certainly learned on this one. 

As you identified I discovered 5 secs was a little to brutal, but only after I had it pretty cooked in. With this I had to simplify the mini games I intended as well as due to my other snags I hit getting it working lol. 

The cards were supposed to be a big part of the game and add some variation, horror and further narrative I suppose they will have to go under the oveescoped umbrella...

Hehe! Thanks :)

Thanks for the feedback and mentioni g the cards. I had high hopes and a solid vision in my mind. In game I was going to give each player 3 bars and an overview of their bidy for dismenberment view. I was going to have a shame, life, phyche bar to indicate different punnishments. Including things like "date night" card, spiders all the way to left or right tapper for eyes of hands to have fingers removed. Possibly a little intense. I was going to do it with short vids that plays and then effecting the overview and bars with only some having visual changes to character. You are right about the timer it sounded good and I only realized when I started play testing my toned down ideas should have done 15 second games probably. 

It took me so long getting 3 players system working that and when I got to mini games I was in a real situation as they took building a new system again to make them work with loads of testing lol. 

I was going to have hidden item, wordpuzzles, riddle, guessing. competitive. Mini top down navigation etc for mini games if I could get them to fit in time. 

Really appreciate the feedback again and glad to have something out there for the jam 😈

Thanks for the kind feedback had much bigger plans for mini games but sadly couldn't deliver 😢 

Really appreciate the feedback 👍 

Thanks so much for the kind and thoughtful response. I like doing a game every Halloween 🎃 so stoked I got the start of a good game!! 

I can't wait to play everyone else's!

Thanks yeah after playing it 10,000 times in testing I know what ypu mean. The perils of narrative gameplay. I thought about adding click through but was terrified it may break that part too lol. 

Thanks for playing
