- You have infinite health and ammo. - There is a minor bug that allows you to temporarily slow fall, though it isn't game-breaking (that I know of). - It is possible to leave the playable area.
Couldn't get the gamejolt web version to load at all. Not sure if it's my version of unity or what. Download worked fine. Great mood, and simple and effective controls. Great job.
Haha, I enjoyed becoming a skunk menace more than I care to admit. Loved the graphics (reminded me of early 3D games of the late 90's). This is an awesome submission guys well done.
Played through it all they way to the final screen, and felt sort of satisfied with my time spent. There's a lot of work done here for a compo entry, but the game sort of makes me question if I actually liked it and why. I'm not entirely sure I can accurately answer it properly.
It sits in a sort of strange odor-filled dreamish middle-ground. There are a lot of different aspects that come together, like the audio and the 90's style rough models that make it somewhat appealing. It embraces the dirty, nasty little things and puts them on the spotlight. But for all the things that make it special for rolling in its own filth, I can't help but feel like the abnormal content isn't being matched by the gameplay mechanics.
Generally speaking, the gameplay consists of a giant to-do list. A bucket list only appropriate for the life of a skunk. I didn't find this aspect terribly interesting to carry out because rather than the actions being genuinely nice to interact with and just letting people run around... it kind of feels a bit stale.
For instance, what happens when you mark territory? Well, the tree gets a visual effect and the number on my to-do list goes up. It doesn't feel like I'm playing and learning how a little system works, like say if I sprayed trees to keep predators away or even something strange like growing skunk babies like little fruits that would follow me around. The reward for doing things are based around that checklist, rather than doing things because doing them is interesting.
Perhaps that's a bit harsh, doing things is interesting but only for a very small amount of time personally... and I think that's mostly due to there not being much of a dynamic to the world created. Everything feels... well everything essentially is fairly static, frozen, sometimes they rotate, but the world feels a bit dead you know?
I know this sort of thing requires a lot of work for the short deadline though, so perhaps asking for a dynamic living world is somewhat extreme... but I just wish that it was a bit more engaging than it is currently.
The visuals and audio really provide an atmosphere that feels kind of unique to your work. I think if the internal systems for the game had been as unsettling and... well... strange as the content... then it would have felt much more cohesive in general.
Either way, you've done a very nice job on this entry and I hope you enjoyed making the game! And of course I hope others can find things they like about it as well.
Neat game, love the graphics. Nice weapon! :) I included it in part 6 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/Q11RJey0954
You have successfully hit on a natural and easy to grok way to have a unique FPS. I like it a lot. It's probably a good thing that it seems impossible to die, because I couldn't figure out a way to avoid the owls hitting me.
Great job!
