Really polished game. The only thing I really would complain about is that the controls were a little hit or miss sometimes. I found myself skipping the gun because I was able to be much more effective with just fists. Nice work though
Fun and entertaining game! I realized in the second half of the game that I would just run through an entire level, which was fun in its own way ;). Very polished looking game!
Had some weird issues with movement getting stuck in certain directions. I ended up just running through the levels while punching backwards. Love the lo-poly art style.
Thanks guys ^^ Wish I had more time to make some more levels and fix some more things xD but for 2 and a half days of work I'm pretty happy with the results ^^
Among other things I wanted to add, I wanted to do like old school brawlers and have the camera stop and have a invisible wall stopping the players until they kill the enemies of that area, but didn't have enough time xD
Incredibly competent entry for the Jam, wow. Looks great, sounds good, animations and controls were okay. One of the most polished looking games I've played so far.
Graphically, the game looks fantastic! Looks super polished like a commercial game. Gameplay, really nice and responsive. It felt "fair" if that makes sense, in that I felt in control.
I feel the one minute limit isn't needed. Just as I was having fun, the game would end on me! Also, this game would be great with gamepad support! Tested with a Xbox360 controller, and the analog stick does work in your name. A few minutes binding a couple of buttons to the attacks/toggles would go a long way!
Hey, very nice polish, great graphics and impressive music. Simple but efficient gameplay too.
If I was picky I'd complain about the length of the game (2 levels,right ?), the lack of feedback when you hit an ennemy that make the combats less energetic, and my biggest concern is that the gameplay gets a bit monotonous. But still, really great work overall !
Really nice game! Felt very polished. I had trouble aiming the gun, though it's probably because I'm not used to the camera. Good job, looking forward to a post-compo version
Congratulations, the quality of "Agent One" is really impressive! The only bad thing is that the mechanic of movement is a bit annoying, like walking on a slippery ice.
This game is beautiful! Great low-poly characters, and great visual overall. I liked the story too, haha. Movement is a bit slippery, that's my only complain. Very good for a 72h game though, grats guys!
I like the game, it's very polished visually. You did a great job. My 2 cents as a beat'n up fan. You can make better the controls. The acceleration and the use of the mouse to hit/dodge don't make the game feels good. And the soundtrack it's good, but not for this kind of game.
Nice game, guys. I liked the gameplay and the art style a lot. It was good to see that many different variations on enemies in a jam game, the small alterations went a long way. Good work!
Really neat game. I love the overall look of it. It was a little weird getting used to the controls at first. The gun was hard to aim and didn't seem needed. I loved the ability to roll, but I never felt like I needed it. The random items in the background looked amazing. The movement was very fluid.
As for yours I'm not a particularly huge fan of side scrolling beat-em-ups(besides TMNT IV), but yeah the controls are really solid and I like the art style.
Stunning look and animations for a jam! Is pretty fun to play too. I think I would like it even more of the action took place on ice, because that's how the movement feels. Great entry!
Okay, this was a really great, polished entry. The movement and controls were pretty slick. Not to mention the cool graphics and gameplay. I just wish I had a few more bullets, though. Really enjoyed it. The only downside would be that you could get to the end without killing a single enemy.
Holy... what an impressive entry! Had a cool River City Ransom feel to it. Would love to see what you can with is if you continue on post jam. I wish the weapon select was bound to the scroll wheel of the mouse - it was a little awkward switching weapons. The aim of the gun also felt "off" somehow - or I just sucked at ;)
Well done game with lots of polish! I really liked the graphical style and the controls worked well.
One minute was very short time to get through each level though, and I found it easier to just rush fast than stop dealing with enemies. Also the gun is very underpowered compared to the fists, I would have made the gun much stronger, but ammo more scarce. I also felt like the music doesn't really fit the gameplay and graphical style.
Amazing presentation! I love the graphical style, impressive for such a short time! About gameplay, it's a little repetitive and controls are a little slippery, but beside that I really enjoyed it.
I also saw your post about first impression video - nice idea. I downloaded the Windows version of your game, and I think the archive is corrupted or something. I don't have any extracting error, but when I try to launch the game it says "AgentOne.exe isn't a valid Win32 application". I've downloaded your archive twice, same problem. I'm using Windows Xp Sp3. I hope this can be fixed because your game looks amazing (I'm a big fan of beat'em ups!)
Really love your Art-Style. So impressive make all of this in only 72 hours!
The gameplay, in the other hand, don't works with me. I just ran in straight line meanwhile I punched the guys that was following me. I think that the countdown ruins the experience.
Nice work, the realization was top notch. I do have some critics though: - Playing in the browser, the performance was pretty choppy. Ok, I'm on a mac, but still! - I'm not a big fan of games that force you to use both keyboard and mouse for controls. I think the game would be fine if the character just turns towards the direction he's moving, and I can just press a key for punching/shooting. Perhaps you can just add an option to change controls. It's probably fun to play with one hand on the mouse and the other one on the keyboard, but I'm playing on a laptop and my mouse is the trackpad!
Blown away by how much there was for a weekend and how polished it felt. The swap from ranged to melee once I was out of ammo was an awesome little bit. Low poly art style was great and the animations were smooth.
It felt pretty complete mechanically and the simplicity lent itself well.
Damn... all that in a weekend. The second environment was a surprise and a half!
Wooohooo, i saved the world! The game is good, albeit too easy. The gameplay is too repetitive, however it's not much of a problem since the game is so short.
I didn't really like the use of the theme here, it felt just "thrown in for the sake of it", could have been only one of any amount of time it wouldn't make a serious impact.
The graphics and animations are awesome looking though and the sound is great!
Solid gameplay and great graphics. The fighting/dodge mechanic I really funny, and having two modes of fight is really cool. Like I said before, really solid gameplay.
But I have two minor issues: 1) The music is good, but the sfx are too low! :( 2) I think that the race to the finish before the time ends don't mesh really well with the beat em up concept. In my second playthough I run without punching more than two or three guys to arrive to the end of the level. I think that defeating a certain number of badguys or find some keys to advance could be better with the gameplay. But great game for a development of 72 hours only!
Great colors, and nice arcade feeling. I think there's too much control inertia for a beat'em all. The game also lack some sound sfx and more Fx/shakin on impact. I would have prefer to use mousewheel to change weapon. Also the targeting system is weird, some time people are in my target and won't be hit. Maybe don't try to compute collision with bullet but simply autohit baddies if they were near the target when shot.
Good game! Always liked beat-em-ups where you can shoot - and speaking of: i toggled shoot in the beginning and ran into a mag .. got a 'blueish' screen with timer and kinda the mag, and couldn't do nothing more.. after that i abstained form picking them up..
Fun game with a really neat art style. My only complaint is the one minute constraint. Seems like a bit of a cop out on the theme, when one life (no health regeneration) would work with the content of the game much better, IMO. Mainly, I would have just liked to have seen how long I could have lived because I was having fun!
Totally loved! And hated for the way you used theme - i'd like to see longer version of this fun! :) (and more creative way of the usage) Visual style is so fantastic! Could you tell me if this low poly style is an effect or special technique (which I could google&research) or program?
I absolutely loved the graphics, color scheme is quite good! Controls feel smooth and the game is fun, but I had problems aiming, especially with a gun. Also too bad it's so short, I hoped at least for a boss at the end.
Wow! Amazing effort! The graphics and attention to detail are great! Though I will say this: some more sound effects and maybe some less walking friction would have made it even better!
I loved how I was able to save the world managing a score of 0 points, haha. Well-presented game you've got here! I feel the need to comment on the ultra-slippery movement making it harder to control than it should be, and also the fact that it is easier (though not as fun) to run through the levels without engaging in combat. The combat itself felt alright but I feel like the punches etc could have had more 'oomph'. Also, I love the almost-speedrun take on the theme. Great job guys.
Very impressive work, controls maybe have some room for improvement and the punching impact sound was at times barely audible, but everything else was spot on! I got 2340 points and saved the world :)
The first impression was excellent. Great graphics, much polished. But it turned out to be very short. I was loading it for a while, and completed it in under two minutes. I hope you'll make more levels!
You should make bad guys faster than you. I just kept running, and there was a huuuuge train of bad guys vainly following me.
Awesome looking game. There is only one thing I don't like about the game and that's the control mechanism. Maybe a restriction to keyboard only would help, like in the old 2d games.

Nice looking graphics! But it's a little short and I was able to go through a wall with dodge. The music is good too.
Wow so many comments, xD I see I have a long day of recording ahead of me.
Thanks for all the positive feedback guys ^^ I also feel the controls are a bit slippery sometimes, and I see the problem that having the mouse controls causes for notebook users :x
I'm considering keeping on working on this game, rewriting the controls to make the character shoot and punch where he is walking to so the mouse wouldn't be needed. Also want to put camera stops to force the player to deal with enemies. Extra weapons, and getting rid of the 1 minute limit for sure =x
Maybe it would do well on mobile :3 I did an android version and had some trouble with the aiming but if I get rid of the aiming it should be ok
The graphics are awesome but the game is not so good. You can just run from the bad guy and avoid the bullet. You wont get a good score but, because of the timer, score fell far less interesting.
Wow... My only problem is that is better just run to the exit ratter than fight the bad guys. Other than that, the graphics, the sound, the smoothness (?) just too awesome! Amazing job guys!
Great graphics, great character design! It's cool to have two levels which are both well thought with many obstacles put along the path our hero must follow. Controls are a bit difficult (using keyboard and mouse at the same time isn't easy for this kind of 3D view). Would love to see the next adventure of Agent One!
Excellent presentation, especially in the graphics department! The gameplay itself has a few problems though: While it controls nice enough for me, there is no real challenge about beating the level in a minute, since you can just run through. I think it would have worked better if the combat was a lot faster and challenging with the enemies activly trying to stop you from progressing. Anyway, very nice jam result and apparently very appealing to a wide audience.
I saved the world! Really fantastic looking work, lovely cartoony/low-poly style. I feel the camera really needs to look further ahead of the character, especially when using the gun. Fun game!
Extremely polished game, great low-poly models and animations. Just wish the camera would look a bit further ahead, and also I found that I can win easily by skipping most of the enemies. But great job overall!
Great idea, a brawler in 3D. It is a pity that there are no commercial great games in the old arcade brawler style. A pity you included pistols, they are not necessary and hide the arcade potential.

Unbelievable level of polish, it's crazy what some people are capable of.
I'll admit, I'm here because of your front page post regarding first impressions videos. I'd love to see you do one for my game You Only Get Won http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-28/?action=preview&uid=15929

Might have been good to stop the scrolling every no and again to prevent just running through. But otherwise really solid.
But I have two minor issues:
1) The music is good, but the sfx are too low! :(
2) I think that the race to the finish before the time ends don't mesh really well with the beat em up concept.

Apart of that very good overall. congrats :)
I had a fair bit of success just running backward and punching until I reached the exit. :)
It's really great nonetheless though :)
You should make bad guys faster than you. I just kept running, and there was a huuuuge train of bad guys vainly following me.
I would love to see a first impression on my entry, thanks for doing that for everyone!
