really enjoyed this, could stick on this for hours if the balancing was refined a little bit more!
at some point a reached a stage where my fabricator was only giving me end-cap circuit pieces and buildings, so i couldn't reach any of the crates, and so couldn't generate enough power to afford placing buildings and got overrun.
also, on occasion i got a little confused as to which grid cell the frogs were on as well, when there were many on screen.
regardless, there's a great depth to this for a jam game, and the spritework/animations are very nice. appreciate the tutorial and little QoL things as well. fantastic work!
rly clean animations even with limited spritework, great feedback for the punches, music fits the pace. simple and well designed mechanic, with some nice enemy variety. i like the touch of the enemies swarming and breaking you apart when you're defeated.
a mobility option could be nice? Or even just an indicator for where the enemies spawn on a new wave -- i found myself getting trapped by spawns with no power sometimes when during later waves, but maybe thats just a skill issue lol
it's not the easiest thing to pull off but i liked being able to bounce between enemies; like do a drop kick, and flip around with the momentum of the bounce to land another. i like the momentum/acceleration manipulation but would be nice if the controls were a little less slippy (at least rotationally) and maybe the hitboxes a little more generous. i saw in ur other reply that the movement broke last minute tho so fair enough lol, can relate to that haha
yaa I was thinking of having mouseover tooltips or something as well, but it slipped my mind when we wrote our todo list haha
by the time i remembered we were cutting it pretty close to the deadline and still had a buncha other stuff to complete so we didn't get around to it unfortunately
Unfortunately this version is pretty broken, some gamebreaking bugs snuck their way in right at the end of the jam. I cleaned up the bugs and uploaded a working version you can check out here!
Thanks! I've just made a basic walkthrough of the first level to help anyone who got stuck if it helps as all (we should've had a better in-game tutorial, but ran out of time for it). And yeah u right, we really could've done with some sfx and music - we had some music in the making but couldn't pull off anything that fit before the deadline. Maybe we'll figure something out if we ever make an update to the game :)
Thank you! And yeah, all those - music, tutorial, sfx - we intended on having those but just ran out of time lol. We had a few attempts with music but ended up at the deadline not having anything that fit the tone of the game. As for a tutorial (or rather, lack thereof), there are controls on the Pause menu if that's any help lol. The first level was also sorta supposed to get you used to figuring out the mechanics implicitly, but yeah I think we could've done with a slower approach, or more prompts. Might've thrown ya a bit too quickly into the deep end lol.
Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for checking out our game! :)
