However aming is very unpredictable and once I killed all the enemies there was nothing else to do. Nice submission."},{"author_name":"Supernovadx","author_uid":"49333","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 12:44am","epoch":1429576740,"text":"Here is my assessment of your game. Top down.\rInnovation: Not much. The gravity could have been tuned up a bit I felt. The jumping was slow, while I get that it's underwater it tones down the fun factor. Also the bottles are hard to aim.\rFun: Refer to innovation on this one. Little slow, but I enjoyed the atmosphere.\rTheme:I felt like it fit the theme. The bottle picking up mechanic was cool.\rGraphics: Pretty good, I don't know what that first creature was, but I liked the crab and the seaweed and stuff.\rHumor: None that I can find.\rMood: Good, but the audio got repetitive breaking the immersion."},{"author_name":"pikmin4000","author_uid":"13796","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 12:53am","epoch":1429577280,"text":"Congratulations on finishing your first entry!

It can be a really nice working ground for some intense gameplay with a more mobile character !"},{"author_name":"smikulcik","author_uid":"37175","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 12:12am","epoch":1429661220,"text":"Great Idea.

Kind of funny the comment it's making about the damage plastic bottles do to the environment while being the protagonist using them to its advantage. I liked the aesthetic :)"},{"author_name":"cdrch","author_uid":"36130","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 10:27pm","epoch":1429741320,"text":"Short but fun! Some way to aim and visualize the arc of the throws would have been nice.

The bottle ammo reuse is a nice feature. Given that everything in the game is pretty slow moving, it could be difficult to aim well.\r\rThis is a pretty solid first level that introduces a few creature types. There's plenty of vertical real estate if you wanted to add reefs to climb or something.\r\rThe audio did the job. The music loop was pretty short and a little obtrusive.\r\rHope you had fun. Keep it up!"},{"author_name":"gnx","author_uid":"8333","time":"Apr 28, 2015 @ 8:33pm","epoch":1430252880,"text":"I liked the controls a lot, I think they'd be a good basis for a longer game. Playwise only thing that bothered me was a lack of direction indicator for the player, which resulted in me throwing bottles in the wrong directions.\r\rGraphics and sound are also nice, so even though the game is very short, there is nothing wrong with the fundamentals here :)"}],"images":["ld32\/50280-abc65e61b0c4574a049025a5f9962389.jpg","ld32\/50280-8ff0bb2abb9a73993a0f1abe0500707d.jpg","ld32\/50280-cd9396d3c633098759aa79f5b942b86a.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/q2y7yu2ve7egxhw\/BottleToss.exe?dl=0","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/ndd5o1g3f13jv93\/BottleToss.gmx.zip?dl=0","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"11646","g_author":"50280","g_event":"LD32","g_eventkey":"27","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"11676","g_title":"Bottle Toss","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"665","g_commentcount":"11","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/50280-shot0-1429566068.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/50280-shot1-1429566068.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/50280-shot2-1429566068.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Not my first jam, but my first submission!\r\nMade in GameMaker Studio\r\n\r\nControls:\r\nLeft and Right arrows to move\r\nSpace to jump\r\nZ to throw bottles\r\n\r\nGoal: hit each of the sea creatures with the bottle to score points\r\n\r\nOther tools:\r\nManga Studio 5: making sprites and background\r\nGame Maker sprite editor: to fine tune some of the sprites\r\nBfxr: sound effects\r\nPtCollage: Background music ( I created this for another jam, that's why I'm opting out on scoring for sound but critique welcomed!)\r\nAudacity: Pitch the background music down for the end theme.\r\n","title":"Bottle Toss"}
