You got the nice Limbo-ish aesthetic going on here, and it works well with the animation of the wolves as well. I can tell you are a very good artist!\n\nThe gameplay I think could use some tweaking. The jumping didn't feel super smooth, the attack animation stops the character from moving (and the collision between the wolves felt inconsistent), and sometimes its impossible to tell between what is background and non-collidable and what is in the foreground and part of the map that is interactable. The hide mechanic is a nice idea, but I didn't really find it too useful considering you can just stab the wolves instead.\n\nThe physics overall just felt not very tuned, and kind of elementary - but it is a game jam, so its understandable!\n\nI also wasn't the biggest fan of the music - i see what you were going for, but it just kind of felt dissonant and not very cohesive.\n\nIts tough to focus on making everything solid in a game jam, but you definitely made art that is above and beyond solid. I would just say next time try and also add the same level of polish to the gameplay, and it will provide a more unified experience.\n\nNice work overall though! :)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":794210,"author_name":"AFlatThrasher","author_uid":"aflatthrasher","epoch":1649186501,"text":"So, to stick with your request and only talk about the things I liked. :) First, the art was amazing. Loved how this game looked.  Also, the sound was great. I thought the music worked very well.\n\nAlso, the only bug I encountered (twice) was hilarious. I was lying face down and could move around and jump around like that, stabbing down.  Both times I tried to stab a wolf from above, it didn't work, but I laughed at it.\n\nI thought it was a fun little platformer. Not perfect gameplay, but still satisfying enough to play through to the end.\n\nFinally, there was a lightsaber!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":794601,"author_name":"Yngvarr","author_uid":"yngvarr","epoch":1649187992,"text":"I feel clickbaited by the page's header image. >_<\n\nYour effort to make the game moody payed out! I could feel the darkness of the forest, the chill, as if I was there. The mechanics and the mood reminded me of your other game, Deep Blue, but this one is a step forward in terms of gameplay and storytelling. As for a combat mechanic, I managed to land a stab from the air and it felt just good!\n\nHere's my playthrough, if you wanna see it. :)\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/SMG5gWxO9gI","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":794906,"author_name":"Jiri Hysek","author_uid":"jiri-hysek","epoch":1649189250,"text":"@yngvarr Thanks a lot for a playthrough! I'm so happy to see that movement and controls are OK - I was kind of proud of how it felt when I was developing it. It's not my first platformer so I used all my experience to do just great controls. I was a bit disappointed when people told me it's not good - and I also saw it on the stream of Elysia Griffin. But I think it was \"just\" performance issues and controls are good. That's a relief.\n\nI can see you encountered a couple of funny bugs, nothing critical, fortunately :)\n\nThank you again!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":794992,"author_name":"Jiri Hysek","author_uid":"jiri-hysek","epoch":1649189569,"text":"@aflatthrasher Hi, that's very kind of you! :) Yeah the bug is quite funny it happens when you start moving too early after death. Nothing critical fortunately this kind of stuff happens in the game jams (at least in my games:)\n\nToo bad I got the idea with a lightsaber so late, it could be cool also in the main gameplay. But at least the Red Hood reminded me Arya Stark from Game of Thrones a little.

I'm happy you like the art, I spent an unreasonable time on it so I have less time than necessary on the gameplay... \n\nAnyway, I'm not happy to hear that physics and jumping didn't work for you very well. I felt the controls and jumping especially is really well done. But I noticed on a stream there were performance issues, especially in the HTML build (I have already removed it because of this). Check out the walkthrough by @yngvarr it looks it behaves as I wanted. It's maybe a bit faster but I personally don't like when movement and jumping feel slow and floaty. \n\nSo I hope it didn't spoil the experience that much.\n\nAs for the music - it's my biggest weakness. And believe me, this time it's the best music I ever made :D Sometimes I just do ambient sounds in the background to avoid music at all but this time I tried to face it :) I fully agree it's not perfect but I made a progress, that's important for me :)\n\nThank you again!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":795343,"author_name":"William Corrin","author_uid":"william-corrin","epoch":1649190964,"text":"@jiri-hysek no problem!

Trying to sneak up on them was really fun! My only big critique is that it didn't really feel like Red Riding Hood matched with the art style of the rest of the game--she looked good on her own, but since she was the only character not in silhouette she felt out of place. That definitely made her stand out, which is good for a player character, but I would have liked it more if the contrast was more subtle. For example, just the fact that she has red in her color palette would have been enough for me to differentiate her from the rest of the environment.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":799645,"author_name":"shieldgenerator7","author_uid":"shieldgenerator7","epoch":1649225793,"text":"this game is so cool! one of my favorites so far!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":802283,"author_name":"She Wrote","author_uid":"she-wrote","epoch":1649254001,"text":"Fun game.

It's kind of good enough for Compo but the rush is too obvious.\n\n\n## A wallpaper!\nIt somehow happened that I made a wallpaper by screenshotting one of the game scenes.. so if you like it, take it :)\n![Wallpaper.png](\/\/\/raw\/221\/c\/z\/4dc85.png)\n\n\n## Controls\n- WASD \/ arrows - movement\n- Down \/ S - hiding in a bush\n- X \/ P - attack\n- Space - alternative jumping\n\n## Used Tools\n- Godot Engine\n- Inkscape\n- Bandlab (music)\n- Audacity\n","title":"Red Riding Hood","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/291501+291502+291503+291504+291505+291506+291507+291508+291509+291510+291511+291512+291513+291514+291515+291516+291517+291518+291519+291520+291521+291522+291523+291524+291525+291526+291527+291528+291529+291530+291531+291532+291533+291534+291535+291536+291537+291538+291539+291540+291541+291542+291543+291544+291545+291546+291547+291548+291549+291550+291551+291552+291553+291554+291555+291556+291557+291558+291559+291560+291561+291562+291563+291564+291565+291566+291567+291568+291569+291570+291571+291572+291573+291574+291575+291576+291577+291578+291579+291580+291581+291582+291583+291584+291585+291586+291587+291588+291589+291590+291591+291592+291593+291594+291595+291596+291597+291598+291599+291600+291601+291602+291603+291604+291605+291606+291607+291608+291609+291610+291611+291612+291613+291614+291615+291616+291617+291618+291619+291620+291621+291622+291623+291624+291625+291626+291627+291628+291629+291630+291631+291632+291633+291634+291635+291636+291637+291638+291639+291640+291641+291642+291643+291644+291645+291646+291647+291648+291649+291650+291651+291652+291653+291654+291655+291656+291657+291658+291659+291660+291661+291662+291663+291664+291665+291666+291667+291668+291669+291670+291671+291672+291673+291674+291675+291676+291677+291678+291679+291680+291681+291682+291683+291684+291685+291686+291687+291688+291689+291690+291691+291692+291693+291694+291695+291696+291697+291698+291699+291700+291701+291702+291703+291704+291705+291706+291707+291708+291709+291710+291711+291712+291713+291714+291715+291716+291717+291718+291719+291720+291721+291722+291723+291724+291725+291726+291727+291728+291729+291730+291731+291732+291733+291734+291735+291736+291737+291738+291739+291740+291741+291742+291743+291744+291745+291746+291747+291748+291749+291750+291751+291752+291753+291754+291755+291756+291757+291758+291759+291760+291761+291762+291763+291764+291765+291766+291767+291768+291769+291770+291771+291772+291773+291774+291775+291776+291777+291778+291779+291780+291781+291782+291783+291784+291785+291786+291787+291788+291789+291790+291791+291792+291793+291794+291795+291796+291797+291798+291799+291800+291801+291802+291803+291804+291805+291806+291807+291808+291809+291810+291811+291812+291813+291814+291815+291816+291817+291818+291819+291820+291821+291822+291823+291824+291825+291826+291827+291828+291829+291830+291831+291832+291833+291834+291835+291836+291837+291838+291839+291840+291841+291842+291843+291844+291845+291846+291847+291848+291849+291850+291851+291852+291853+291854+291855+291856+291857+291858+291859+291860+291861+291862+291863+291864+291865+291866+291867+291868+291869+291870+291871+291872+291873+291874+291875+291876+291877+291878+291879+291880+291881+291882+291883+291884+291885+291886+291887+291888+291889+291890+291891+291892+291893+291894+291895+291896+291897+291898+291899+291900+291901+291902+291903+291904+291905+291906+291907+291908+291909+291910+291911+291912+291913+291914+291915+291916+291917+291918+291919+291920+291921+291922+291923+291924+291925+291926+291927+291928+291929+291930+291931+291932+291933+291934+291935+291936+291937+291938+291939+291940+291941+291942+291943+291944+291945+291946+291947+291948+291949+291950+291951+291952+291953+291954+291955+291956+291957+291958+291959+291960+291961+291962+291963+291964+291965+291966+291967+291968+291969+291970+291971+291972+291973+291974+291975+291976+291977+291978+291979+291980+291981+291982+291983+291984+291985+291986+291987+291988+291989+291990+291991+291992+291993+291994+291995+291996+291997+291998+291999+292000?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/ad\/ad6dba95ad2d09f3236e1c823cac0e0940946599ad6dbc8a993858ecad94f949","record":"shard-2\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/7370f48d442c7056704c6daefe41cec529704938211278691b766fff0b475836.json","sha256":"ad6dba95ad2d09f3236e1c823cac0e0940946599ad6dbc8a993858ecad94f949","source":"https","stored_at":1784022404}}
