Great presentation. I nearly ran out of fuel on the mission to speed around the four corners. I really liked the mechanic of pausing to zoom out and show the whole level, it made it really nice to be able to see where I needed to aim. Good job!
Thanks! I agree the fill bars don't provide enough feedback and what they do or mean. I will try to think of some ways to make them more meaningful to the player.
Right now they are really just indicators of how close the player or the enemy is to winning, with a side effect of the whale getting more powerful when the player is close to winning... but the whales empty bar doesn't really reflect that right now.
Lots of fun! Once I got pretty powerful I took a risk of standing still thinking that I could just mow everything down and farm the sweet power gems... that was a mistake.
Amazing presentation... sprites, sounds, music, atmosphere. Having to open the spellbook and type the spell is an interesting mechanic - I think it would be something useful as a learning by playing a game tool for kids learning how to spell and type.
I liked the weird and somewhat creepy atmosphere. It was a little hard to tell what to do for me, but I enjoyed creeping around and staying away from the other people.
Interesting concept, I was surprised to see that I could move the platform up and down... wasn't expecting that, and it was a nice touch. I couldn't quite figure out what it meant when the balls would change color though.
Lots of fun! I love these types of games and the mechanic of adding members to your party that follow you around isn't something I would have thought of. It felt good when I did a big circle to clump everything up and then mow them down.
Haha nice! I was worried I made it too hard. I was running out of the time at the end of the jam and had to boost the difficulty at the last minute since I had everything toned way down while I was testing/developing.
I liked the mechanic of having to stand still to shoot. I ended up using the crates as cover to pop out, shoot, and then duck back into cover. The game would feel better to me if the camera was zoomed out a lot more.
My high score was 64... I had the best luck with no clipping. Very cool idea to incorporate the overpowered abilities as a selection from the start of the game.
Very cool aesthetic, the lighting and darkness definitely adds a level of tension. I think making the light radius just slightly larger would make it feel better to me.
I think it was obvious enough - it felt good to see the power bar fill up once I tried doing it. I think the average player would probably like a little more guidance, but I know it's hard to make those things in such a time crunch. It's something I should have done in my game too.
The upgrade mechanic is great. I did a couple upgrades on speed and then got smoked by the rabbit, which inspired me to go back to training and do a lot of upgrades. The second rabbit race was no contest :)
Very nice usage of the theme and limitation! I kept dieing on the second double jump over the moth (because I didn't have enough power), until I finally figured out that you need to use the slide mechanic to gain power hehe.
Nice - I didn't even known Godot had a ParallaxBackground node, I will have to check it out. I just switched to Godot from Unity for this jam and it has been a fun learning experience. I'm really liking Godot a lot so far.
