@sted I'm really glad people got it and did not just wonder what we were doing. :)
@kaspjej Thank you
@alxje I'm glad you liked the art, it made me wonder at times while putting it together if it would all work
@sviborg Thanks for your kind words, we all worked really hard on this and I think it all came together in a nice way
@david-huculak Those evil bunnies I added at the very end to make it more fun. I am glad you figured out how to out smart the rabbits. Thanks for playing and enjoying the game.
@darefus we do not want to distract him from his work :)
@aerloth We tend to just want the control of it really. Less is more to our team, plus we just like to torture ourselves I think. Thank you.
@kseniya Thank you, glad you liked the visuals. :)
The voice lines are absolutely inspired, very funny :laughing: great work!
Working from scratch, this is impressive! I feel like it's a great start, and with a little bit of polish, this would be even smoother! I definitely don't feel like it is missing any core content, but here are some examples of small improvements:
* A health bar would be a lot easier to keep track of than a number. At least, make the text larger so my eyes don't have to move so far :D
* Being able to shoot radially rather than just in eight directions would make the gameplay a lot more flexible.
* Balancing is always tough. One example is that the rabbits seemed to fire much too quickly. It just became a bit of a chore to sneak in a shot.
I eventually realized that bullets blocked bullets. You could implement a filter to ignore like-objects, but also I appreciated having a way to block the bunny shots XD
We really love making these games from scratch and always aim to get a complete moment to moment and full play loop in. We usually make it but sometimes by the skin of our teeth.
The health bar was an early skip for us, one of the cuts we tend to put in the nice to have section of the design. The radial shooting was a debit early on, but once were working we stuck with the eight way. Still world love to see how a smoother set of directions would impact the game, maybe after the jam. The rabbits where a late add so the AI is a little too simple and aggressive.
Blocking the bullets was a bug that we just never removed, when we caught it we just sort of left it in. :) Thanks for playing and leaving really awesome feedback.
Playing as an Seal Rambo.. hahahaha
Amazing!
Very fun concept.
