Making it Hail by BalladofSong

[raw]
made by BalladofSong for LD 40 (JAM)

Daydreaming, I caught myself thinking about earning more money. I felt so happy, but then nightmares started to kick in. Now each time I get paid, I feel more and more stuck unable to move forward. Then life comes and there seems to be no way around it...or so I thought!

Coins weigh the player down. After each coin grab deposit it in the safety box.

Controls:

Walk: WASD or the arrow keys

Jump: Space Bar

Software used:

Unity 5

Inudge.net

Audacity

Gimp 2

I like the main character, it's cute. I wonder if it had an walk animation. Great job!

Classic idea, nice designs. Could have been a bit more zoomed out, as it stands, every jump is a leap of faith.

Cute artwork. I like the moustached octopus.

Controls are a little sluggish, and as regularjohn4 says, it is a little too zoomed in so I can't see where I am jumping.

As John said, could have been zoomed out. Was always worried I was about to take a leap of faith. It seems no matter how many coins you have, the box only counts one at a time.
Cute premise.

I like the 2D play with a 3D artstyle, but as already mentioned by others, it needs to be zooed out more. Maybe speed up the movement aswell, the controls could be a little cleaner.
The octopus with the mustache is a big plus! :D

Also, adding some brighter background would greatly improve the ambience of the game I think :)

I found a bug (maybe?). I deposited the first coin then collected another two, but died at the pink old man. When it restarted, I had 1 coin stored and 0 with me, but my jump height was cut by half (or less).

Now about the game: Movement could use some speed. I like the style you used (voxels are cool)! The concept is also nice.

nice idea I really wish the main char is a little faster.

Nice character graphics. Gameplay wise is really simple, and could use with some faster movement and a more zoomed out camera. I hope yo keep working on it and make it even better :)

Great idea with the weight system, turns it into a puzzle a bit
The music wasn't looping properly and was annoying but I really enjoyed the game, could make a whole game based on this concept.

Good graphics and sound. Animations would really contribute.
