The main thing I think could be improved is the level design. I see that you have the common instinct to make branching paths in levels, but you actually should avoid that even though choosing a path seems interesting on paper. In practice you’re just turning your level into two levels and people will think they have to backtrack to get and see everything. Branches should be for secret areas or secret exits. Also I think one-hit-kill games should be more forgiving with checkpoints.

Actual banger

The archery is cool. It doesn’t follow a straight path but still feels like I have a lot of control of where it lands. I agree with the others that crouching should fire a different trajectory.

I found there wasn’t much to do besides advance text boxes however I like this implementation of the “rpg maker horror” format as an NES game. There are some really cool features that stand out like the “line of sight” system turning rooms dark if the character can’t see inside them, things like that make me think this is extremely worth continuing. I enjoyed the sprites as well.

Great atmosphere. The only reason I stopped playing was because restarting from the beginning was so punishing.

This is pretty well implemented. There’s no weird collision or jerky actions (aside from the movement feeling a little sensitive). I can tell your programming skill is high enough to make good games, you just need better game design and nothing will stop you. Your art is very funny. It reminds me of comics and we don’t see many games using this kind of hand-drawn art ever since games like day of the tentacle went out of style. If you make more games please put in drawn graphics like this game has.

The one handed controls are an optional alternative. Arrow Keys + Z and X is the intended way to play. Thank you for saying it’s fun though.

The cutscenes can be fast forwarded with A but not skipped, and you’re right that it’s an oversight. I’m glad you enjoyed the game as much as you did!

gurtos needs a prompt to click at the boot screen because I was "stuck" there for a bit >_>

But this is a cool prototype. The art looks awesome, especially the Bee page. I hope you continue and add more bugs. If you want ideas, please do springtails. I would also like a page for stick bugs and especially to see stickbug eggs in this style. 

Really fun little spin on idle games. It would be cool if you could move the ramp and other machines around to rig up the most optimal machine possible. Like a super boiled down factory game. But this was still fun as it is.

Even after reading the new controls you posted (thx btw) it took me a few seconds to understand how the gun worked because it's a really off the wall mechanic. But when I figured out what was going on in this game I got excited about it. Having to stop to pump up the gun leads to lots of interesting decisions when the pressure has mounted. The question is not only when to stop and charge, it's also about how do you "spend" the charge wisely enough to create another chance to charge. The charging also created an interesting feeling of power, like I was really putting a bunch of energy into the gun and then blasting it off. I think this is worth expanding on and if you do I have some suggestions. Spamming R so much is hard even for me with no disabilities or medical conditions. If you change it to holding R I think the essence of the game would be the same but make it a lot easier to just play. I also think it would be cool if there were different guns that had different gimmicks for reloading them. 

I did! The bombing is a very unique and surprisingly interesting mechanic. I find the graphics very solid as well. I think it would be better to be able to hold a direction to move though. 

The window can't be resized and my screen is not big enough for it :(

Good presentation and idea we just need some stats or something to make these matchups interesting. With the game like this it's pretty much just betting on a coin flip. If characters had strength, def, HP, and accuracy,  it would be predictable but not too predictable.

I had this problem and for me it was because I didn't know I had to type something in to make a wager.

I've never seen such a complete game made with godot on mobile. 

By level 10 I was ready for this to be over because after seeing every type of obstacle nothing was making it more interesting. But I kept going and I'm glad I did since the ending was worth seeing.

Oh so it's not physics. You definitely succeeded in giving the character a feeling of weight. It's hard to judge what this would be like with faster lerp. As for the tutorial thing, I find most tutorials recommend really weird ways of doing things which require you to fight major components of the engine to make a whole game out of it. 

The shooting does not work for me. Do I need to find ammo or something?

It was hard to figure this game out but it was fun after I did. 

Sword tower: Fires bullets, costs 100 rocks

Cross tower: Harvests resources (maybe more on a gem space idk) costs 50 rocks

Eyeball tower: High damage lightning bolt weapon

You can also upgrade the sword towers.

If anyone is confused about how to run this, you need to go into the love-win folder. This game includes full source code and a build is in that folder.

For babby's first game it's actually far from the worst game submitted. Collision works very well, the controls make sense, and it lines up properly when you shoot stuff. I also appreciate the message, and the fact that a game about preserving source code actually includes it's own source code is great. 

I really wanted a gun but the style and movement were good. There aren't very many good devil daggers style games so if you keep working on this it would be welcome in an underrated genre. 

With how ambitious this is it's incredible how far it got within the jam period. If you want complaints the main thing I didn't like was how much waiting there is if you die. There should be a button that advances dialog and skips to the full line if you press the button while text is being typed out. The button should also skip to the beginning of the next clip in a cutscene (I prefer this to skipping a whole cutscene with one press.) Controlling the character feels kind of "loose" and I think it's because you're using actual physics to move it around. Many tutorials are very wrongheaded about stuff like that. For something like this to be snappy it has to be much more simple and direct. 

This reminds me of games like Arranger that take a classic "minigame" concept but extend them into a whole adventure. In this case it's something like pokemon ice puzzles, though you can just hop one tile if you want. On one hand I think the hopping undermines the puzzles a bit, but on the other hand it keeps the teleporting feeling like an ability and not a handicap. 

I really like the focused direction of needing a certain number of scrolls and having a little museum to show the ones I got. More games need museums of stuff you've done and collected. 

Oh thanks! For some reason itch.io has not put it's custom fullscreen button on your game, and when I zoom in my browser, the game stays the same size. If you mention that in the description I think a lot of people will find that helpful.

Also just in case you find this funny, it took me a while to realize the 1st Mentak you get is not a vampire. I thought the bow was the vampire's cape and it was doing that batwing tpose thing vampires do when they want to look scary. 

The first AAAAA game. 

Thanks. At first I was still getting no response but then I discovered you also have to be moving to attack. To sketsbereal I think you should write a new controls list because the ones available seem to be outdated and I think the low number of ratings on this game are because not very many people can figure it out themselves. 

I agree that a simpler palette would help. The quality of the art itself is good and so far the only actual problem it has given me is I didn't realize I could go through doors so easily. I thought I had to be aligned slightly higher for the non-collidable door frame to not stop me. Check out lospec.com to see pallets I think it will help your art a lot.

I made my own challenge out of beating levels with the least clicks possible. I can usually get down to 2, or 1 if the level comes out easy.

Please upload an alternate build that has scaling mode on. I really like this game but it's too hard to play when it's so small. From what I was able to manage though it has a great concept and the limited lifetime thing doesn't feel tacked on. I would like to get far enough in the game to actually use the cards that grow ingots.

This is really underrated right now. It runs like a well oiled machine and has no issues with hit detection or anything. The style makes all the enemies perfectly distinct. In all this chaos it's an accomplishment that I'm able to tell exactly  where all the projectile casters are. This is the foundation of itch.io front page material. I have no idea why only 10 people have rated it.

The way the dice flies is inconsistent though I somewhat got the hang of wrangling it in the general direction it would go. The dice is definitely thematically appropriate but the fact it just has to touch the yellow square and not come to a stop on it helps a lot. This is sort of like one of those toys you fill with water so you can squirt little rings around. 

You should combine 2 and 3 so you can shoot a lot and refill often.

The controls feel good and there was never any serious confusion about what I should do. You've really got the fundamentals down. If you could make this you could make something a lot more serious with the same amount of knowledge, as long as you can accomplish the game design.

It was kind of shocking when I realized a customer had starved to death. But it led to some funny situations with how casually it's dealt with. Like when I'm bringing a hot dog to someone and then realize they're dead, but someone else who just showed up wanted a hot dog too so it's their lucky day. There are times when a customer is still alive, but they have so little time left that they're obviously doomed. So I just stand there for a sec politely waiting for them to die so I don't go back to the kitchen empty handed. That's the best strategy I found, never be empty handed when traveling. Also when you pick up food in the kitchen you can get something cooking before you leave. But as the variety of orders starts getting large it becomes more likely that what you chose to cook was a bad bet. It's not the most interesting challenge in the world but the comedy carries it. I think if you focus on making funny games you would have some fans along the way of your learning. 

It was fun when the enemies showed up. You make shooting the gun feel really good and strong. 

Some websites don't work if your computer's date is wrong. Someone who does this might forget all about it and then weeks later something will break and they'll spend time figuring it out until they realize it was ubisquare's fault, always making customers suffer to the end. 

The graphics are really cozy. I would like everyone to note how this simple set of ms paint graphics blows any asset pack away in terms of character and flair. Obviously the creator of this game is a good artist so not everyone's ms paint graphics would look this good, but think about it if you are an asset pack user.
