Pocko by ArnoChux

made by ArnoChux for Ludum Dare 51 (COMPO)

You play as Pocko, a wild child who is starving! He has only 10 seconds to cross the jungle and find his favorite meal, Cuko's eggs.

Gameplay: Arrow keys --> give a direction to Pocko to move!

Eat the eggs but remember your level!

Find the exit of the maze

Programs used:

Game Engine: Unity 2019.4.1f1

IDE: Visual Studio

Art: Photoshop

Music: Garage Band

Credits: Arno Chux

Note:

With a better organization, I would have polished the interfaces, the sound design, the animations and most of all the feedback of the level of your player. I had a great time creating this little game, I hope you will enjoy playing it ;)

Bug Report: When you press an arrow during a transition between level, Pocko won't move the next level (and after)

I did it, Pocko got all of Cuko's eggs!

Very cute design of everything, I loved the way Pocko looked, the environment with the trees and the UI with the wiggling hourglass. The gameplay was fast-paced, which I enjoyed a lot, the 10-second levels forced very quick decision-making, that made it very fast and cool. I think the amount of lives was fair too, I needed a second run, but I can see someone squeezing through on their first run like this, I think it was well-balanced. All in all great job on this!

Like the art style. Music suits the game. I found a bug where if you use WASD at the start instead of the arrow keys then the you cant move and have to restart the game. Otherwise, I liked it. Good Job!

Visuals looks very nice. The graphics are excellent, the music is perfect here, it does not bother at all.

The only negative for me was - different bugs from time to time. The first time my screen darkened before the end of the time, and then at next level - an automatic loss from egg(?).
The second time - I was stuck in running up state, and at the beginning of the next level I could not move - there was an animation of running up, and the game was not controlled. Screenshot below

Very charming puzzle game. Reminds me of those mobile game ads where you have to approach target levels in correct order :)

I just met Pocko, but if anything happened to him I'd be devastated. He's so adorable haha. The environments are also very well done and the music is pretty nice. I didn't even realize I was supposed to be collecting the eggs in a specific order until like the 2nd to last level. The text is really hard to see and it's weird that it's incremented from previous levels. I think just labelling the eggs 1-x would be easier to understand.

Overall this is a decent game. Pocko is cute and adorable character. Game pushes you to make quick decisions, which is good for dynamics. On level 5 game crashes.
Flow could be better, if the color of the text and flags would've been more contrast.
As an artist I love the bushes. )

Good game, good choice of camera perspective, I liked the levels and the challenge, could have a more intuitive UI, but it's understandable and didn't get in the way when playing

Love the design of Pocko, they are adorable :heart:. The music is fun and matches the fast pace of the game perfectly, it makes you feel frantic at all times.

I think the levels of the eggs could be written a bit bigger, I found it hard to see them properly sometimes without stopping moving (and if I stop I run out of time!), but this didn't affect me too badly and I managed to beat the game on my second try. Great job!

The game just shuts down when the time is up. I used to think it was a game crash. Visuals looks cute. The music is nice.

I ran into a couple bugs that prevented me from moving :frowning2: Also I think it might make more sense for the timer to count down from ten rather than up from zero?

The animations are really smooth. I like the graphic style and music. Could see this becoming super fun with a little more time :slight_smile:

Getting the same sort of bugs the last few commenters did, the game freezing after resetting after time. I am playing on Linux through Wine so that might be the culprit for me.

The graphics are good, it lacks a bit of sounds like for walking, getting's eggs and so on, the music is good and fits the aesthetics! Apart from the movement bug said earlier, its very well done!
