Waffle Hunters by Mechamism

[raw]
made by Mechamism for LD34 (JAM)
You are a Waffle Hunter! Can you find the silver waffle?
First time doing Ludum Dare and a game jam! Enjoyed it, though I'm very tired now...
The game isn't too long and there's not too much too it, but that's what I get for focusing more on the art!
Thanks to Fiery Warlock for the music! His LD page is here: http://ludumdare.com/compo/author/fierywarlock/

Not bad! I honestly appreciate it being short since there isn't a whole lot too it. Keeps it from becoming too repetitive. It's a nice, simple game. Although it's a little hard to read, I really like the font.

I really liked the graphics and audio, but the game itself is quite buggy. The jumping in particular just doesn't quite feel right.

Started a game in full screen, menus were kind of off so couldn't see them properly. But, after that it worked nicely. Played the game through pretty quickly, few pits were a bit handle to jump over. :). art / audio was kind of nice, more work on the mechanics of jump would have been feasible. Anyway, good job :)

I like this graphic style, but the game is a little bit simple, i would like to have one or two more funny feature :p

Had to play in windowed mode due to the screen being partially cutoff. Also, fell down a pit and did not die. Just fell for eternity. Other than that, it was cute and funny. Overall amusing game. Keep up the good work!

The inability to turn back actually made the game more exciting. I wouldn't mind if there was maybe some other functionality (doubletapping buttons or combinations?) to perform some "waffle power" or similar what-not, but with only these two controls the game could have been made easily longer, if there were some fun obstacles or pesky enemies :D

Jumping feels off but you made a simple game.

I would play it, but I'm on Linux right now and it doesn't work with wine.

Neat little idea. I like the "go at your own pace" infinite runner thing it's got going, and the music and art was very peaceful.

As others have said, there are some funny bugs about jumping and menus being off. I fixed the menu by making sure to set to my native monitor resolution on the unity launcher.

My only suggestion is to put some tolerance of movement to the character camera, that way he could jump small heights without the view being locked to it. I like the idea of "only forward". Good job!

Really good LD shot! I love graphic and sound. It has some really good atmosphere.

Has potential! Need to fix the camera when the player jumps and maybe add some difficulty to the game. Congratz!
