Shame. Game seems really well made but I went to play and realized it's online multiplayer. No servers to join and trying to host for some reason didn't do anything :(
Amazing art work! I dig the candy theme ;) Managed to get a server hosted. Unfortunately no one joined :/ Looking forward to try again, when you fixed the server issues.
Graphics look good, but multiplayer games entered into the LD all have the same issue... Nobody stays around long enough the play =\ The controls were a bit difficult too, figured I should bring that up. The graphics are amazing for the 72 hour time limit, though.
Got to play offline. I love the concept. Very funny and cool. The animations seem smooth and controls responsive. I had to reset though because I could not get out of the cereal swamp. Overall just a fun game and wish I could play it online.
I thought that the gummi look was really well done. Very impressive to have taken on the challenge of a networked game. I stuck around for 10-15 minutes but no one joined so I couldnt rate everything, but really strong effort here.
Awesome production quality. Couldn't try it out with others, so can't really tell what gameplay is like. The jump is kinda glitchy, can't move forward and jump properly. Looks really good, nice candy shaders!
Lag issues aside (Was playing from the UK), this was pretty fun to play. I loved the animations and I like how you can decapitate other gummi bears. Only gripe is that jumping seems a bit too high and there's no way of dodging in other directions (besides backwards).
Everything looks very well put together. The menus and ui look extremely polished! It's amazing all the outfits and skins you managed to get in here. I hope for the next LDJAM you guys come back and spend just a little bit more attention to the gameplay.
Great game guys! Really great for a 72 hour effort. Technically the networking runs pretty smooth and the graphics are really awesome!
Of course in making something this large it leaves room for a few small holes. There were a few UI bugs in the main menu (clicking the character customize and then the join game has overlaps) and then there are a few cases where my mouse got stuck opening a menu in game, or if you start typing into chat you can't get out without submitting something.
The character is really great and I love the variety in weapons and animations. I do think there are a few funky bits when you try to do things like roll back (my camera would orient strange and then it would be hard to roll back and maintain facing direction)
And finally, just looking down the road, it would be great to have things like more feedback when you hit a player, or more feedback when being hit.
These are very small critiques and really are meant to be read with perspective to the quality and ambition of the game overall. You clearly demonstrate your talent for game development here. Well done!
did need to run this over my graphics card, but runs pretty good, looks like a solid concept, i did however feel that the controls were a bit laggy and i would love to see my own health, and have a way to heal, i would love to see this be expanded upon.
things to note: i did have to press refresh before a server popped up. camera seems to be parented to an animated object wich makes the camera wobble the whole time(some what annoying/nauseating)
Nice graphics in general, some textures bugs to fix and shader to improve but it's a good start. ;) Camera tracking is a bit rough, after 10mn of play we may have a small headache. I liked the interpretation of gummy bear bones. ^^ Some more bugs with the characters choice (I didn't had my hat :( !! ) and the mouse tracking when you are playing in windowed mode, but it's a jam so it's fine. ;)
Controls were a bit wonky and its hard to play as the camera follows the smallest move of the player. I would like it better with a camera that pointed the same way. Some kind of match ups and/or way to make it more competetive would be fun. Really cool idea though, the graphics are really cool, the menu music is nice (make music for the actual game first next time?), and its really awesome that you managed yo create multiplayer. Good job, keep it up. Would be really cool to see more of this, refined Im sure you could make it to steam or something. Once again, GJ!
This looks amazing, but have big problems with the gameplay, the movement is jerky and could not find any weapons to test. The meny system, however, is top notch and you already have added customisable contents. Next time focus more on the gameplay before you think of the menues and extra content.
Really pretty graphics. Couldn't figure out how to respawn or whatever after dying (by jumping off) when testing a server by myself. Really cool that you got customizable avatars in though, well done. :)
Had a run around in an empty server, seemed quite nice but the controls were quite unresponsive - especially jumping, it took a good whole second for the jump to register most of the time.
It really would have helped if you had time to create some bots to fight against.

Cute graphics, though!
