I liked the setting and the piles of zombies I created, but Floaty was a little dumb... I think the game would do better with some way to move him around so he wouldn't get in front of the zombies.

Otherwise I find the game pretty fun, and the only other thing that takes me away is the sound, but I don't really want to judge other people on sound on gamejams as it's a hard thing to do in a jam and I'm the first one here that said screw it and didn't even put sounds in my game!\n\nNot the best game, but nothing that can be improved with a little bit of work!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"ilidanox","author_uid":"1183836","time":"2020-04-26T08:17:35Z","epoch":1587889055,"modified":1587889055,"text":"First of all, I got to say: Camera movement is great. I played on keyboard and the controller for the character wasn't the greatest.  What about using the mouse for aiming? In terms of graphics, I would love to see a bit different settings on the shaders and a bit of a stronger post-processing.

The graphics are simple and cool, the sounds are a nice addition. The only thing is that it's a bit hard to aim with the arrow keys, because you can only aim in 8 different directions, but the enemies can come from all direction.

Twin stick gunplay works quite well, all your meshes are quite appealing (Floaty especially, the particles with it are very nice). My main gripe is that I wasn't sure I understood how having the enemies go for Floaty instead of me improved the gameplay, beyond being there for the theme. I often found myself feeling powerless at Floaty's being assaulted, as he would often not seem to follow me when I try to flee and reposition.\n\nOne other nitpick is that the dim lighting lends itself to a rather grimey look which your lovely meshes don't fit with. Consider brightening it up a bit and playing with the lighting!\n\nWell done!","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld46\/199016-b77c8a7a231e3ef1c0d00d306d1d3a7f.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/tomcroasdale.itch.io\/protect-floaty","text":"Youtube"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"57874","g_author":"1198908","g_event":"LD46","g_eventkey":"77","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"267566","g_title":"Protect Floaty","g_status":"PVT1","g_place":"648","g_commentcount":"13","g_site2_node_id":"199016","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"199016","n_urlkey":"267566","n_parent":"176557","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/protect-floaty","n_slug":"protect-floaty","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"198908","n_created":"1587324554","n_modified":"1587328438","n_version":"572123","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":199016,"parent":176557,"superparent":9,"author":198908,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"compo","published":"2020-04-19T19:34:20Z","created":"2020-04-19T19:29:14Z","modified":"2020-04-19T20:33:58Z","version":572123,"slug":"protect-floaty","name":"Protect Floaty","body":"# Protect \n\u200bProtect Floaty the alien squid thing in this twin stick shooter!\n\n\n### Controls:\n\n- WASD = Move\n\n- Arrow Keys - Shoot\n\n- E - Buy\n\nYou can also plug in a controller and use that.\n\nMade using\n- Unity\n- Blender & GIMP\n- FL Studio & BFXR\n\n![screenshot1.png](\/\/\/raw\/cf8\/03\/z\/2bb2d.png)\n![screenshot2.png](\/\/\/raw\/cf8\/03\/z\/2bb38.png)\n","meta":{"author":[198908],"allow-anonymous-comments":"1","link-01":"https:\/\/tomcroasdale.itch.io\/protect-floaty","link-01-tag":[42517],"link-01-name":"itch.io","cover":"\/\/\/content\/cf8\/03\/z\/2bb2e.png"},"path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/protect-floaty","parents":[1,5,9,176557],"love":0,"notes":13,"notes-timestamp":"2020-05-08T19:17:09Z","grade":{"grade-01":26,"grade-02":26,"grade-03":26,"grade-04":26,"grade-05":26,"grade-06":26,"grade-07":23,"grade-08":24},"magic":{"cool":104.51352507248,"feedback":22,"given":26.625,"grade":25.375,"grade-01-average":3.313,"grade-01-result":648,"grade-02-average":3.25,"grade-02-result":540,"grade-03-average":3,"grade-03-result":759,"grade-04-average":3.5,"grade-04-result":671,"grade-05-average":3.458,"grade-05-result":518,"grade-06-average":2.958,"grade-06-result":568,"grade-07-average":3.119,"grade-07-result":355,"grade-08-average":3.364,"grade-08-result":400,"smart":-0.7134454963147}},"text":"# Protect \n\u200bProtect Floaty the alien squid thing in this twin stick shooter!\n\n\n### Controls:\n\n- WASD = Move\n\n- Arrow Keys - Shoot\n\n- E - Buy\n\nYou can also plug in a controller and use that.\n\nMade using\n- Unity\n- Blender & GIMP\n- FL Studio & BFXR\n\n![screenshot1.png](\/\/\/raw\/cf8\/03\/z\/2bb2d.png)\n![screenshot2.png](\/\/\/raw\/cf8\/03\/z\/2bb38.png)\n","title":"Protect Floaty"}
