Crazy Baker by Hammer Games

[raw]
made by Hammer Games for LD32 (JAM)
Hi guys,

This is the first time our team participate the Ludum Dare. This has been very exciting for everyone!

We started the game friday, making the arts of the game, developing design, and programming the mechanics.

First we had difficult in making the level, but we discussed carefully about what the game would show. After that, we made the characters and we discussed again about which animations are or not necessary to the game.
We are excited to show the results of this incredible experience, in make games for the public, in this edition of Ludum Dare 32, we are happy for having participated of this experiment, althought we are full of the university-related tasks.

Design: The design was made by the artists, we decided to make a baker against the rats who invaded his bakery.

Art: Making the arts was a challenge for the artists, because we had difficult in the first three hours, in decide what would make the game better, or beautiful, and making animations was quite fun after all.

Sound Design: The sound effects of the game were entirely made by our sound design, with his experience in this area.

Programming: The programming was fast, we decided to make the mechanics simple, to simplify the experience of anyone who wants to play our game, because our objective is to our players have fun with the game.

The whole experience was exciting, it was very fun in our first experience in making games for Ludum Dare, we thank all people who helped this project .

Thank you very much, enjoy!

Not a bad game, got bored after a little while but I assume that's due to the endless nature. Graphics are beautiful, music is great, and the theme is well used. Good job!

Great graphics, audio, etc.

Movement felt really floaty and wasn't enjoyable. You also had to be really close to the table but you'd also clip on it going down, which didn't really help the situation. There wasn't good visual feedback when you were clipping or weren't close enough to the counter.

Should be easy to polish up in a post-jam entry, and expand from here. Go for it!

Nice first jam game.

Wish I could use the melee bread hit attack on a separate button so I don't need to waste donut ammo when the rats are close.

I have to agree with previous comments, graphics and sound / music are really nice, but the gameplay isn't your strong point. The controls are a little clunky and there is a strange feeling to it. Good use of the theme!

Nice little game, though it felt a little sluggish. I love the graphics and the music :D

It's a pretty basic game but the graphics and audio are good. It could've been fun but the sluggy controls make the game somewhat cumbersome to play.

like @funisfun8 already said, the graphics are nice, but it gets boring after some time also because of the slow control of the cook

The graphics and animations are amazing!
The controls felt very slow, specially when attacking.

Great first jam! Loved the music and artwork. I also liked how you faded in the tutorial in the beginning...an often missed step that was really effective. Fun music too!

Why is the counter set slightly on the diagonal? It keeps blocking the movement...
Also, the game got repetitive quite fast... I didn't fell motivated to keep playing (though I kept playing until I got score of 1090)...

Graphics and audio were nice, though. :)

Great graphics! The game ran a bit slow. Did not like the controls, the baker got stuck especially when moving downwards. Great work in such a short amount of time.

Good art, nice music. The slightly angled counter top made my character get stuck a few times though. Also, it was too easy, even with the loose controls.

Graphics are nice, but careful if you animate a walk loop for walking forward and your character mainly moves sideways.

I'll basically just parrot what everyone else is saying. Sound and graphics look great, and I really love the intro. small stuff like that can really make a game into an experience.

However, the chef often gets stuck in the environment and the movement is very imprecise. Gameplay could use the same amount of creative flourish that the sound graphics got.

Keep trying!

For a Game Jam it's a great game! Basically just parrot what everyone else is saying too. Do a better gameplay, fix walk animations. That's all!

I want to buy this game on a google play or apple store! Congratulations!
