Whack-a-mole style game called DangoSmash ('cause they are dangos, not moles!) with a twist.
My third entry, first one as a team (it was her first). Like always, nothing went as planned, we had to start anew on Sunday as our first idea just did not work out. But we learned a lot and are quite happy with our result. But beware, it may be unbalanced!
Controls
Left Click - swing down the left hammer and hit squared dangos to score. Right Click - swing down right hammer and hit round dangos to score. Hit a wrong one or the baby (evil you) and get minus score! Occasionally the dango shapeshifts after being hit. Hit it again (with the correct hammer) and again until it stops or you do not score. If you are successful, you score a lot though...
Code by me and art by Pia Bsdurrek. SFX by both of us. BGM by syncopika. Font by Flat-it.
Simple concept, neat game! I liked the surreal candy atmosphere, the gameplay with perfect hitboxes. A +10 (or whatever score gain) over every hit would have made it even more addictive. Audio was too loud though, and a bit annoying after a few minutes ^^
I really enjoyed the gameplay to this, pretty much a twist to whack-a-mole, but a little harder with the square vs. circle mechanic. The far back one were kinda hard to hit since the game was in a 2D plain, but still enjoyed the experience, including the "sound effects" nice job!
Neat concept, but the audio made me want to kill myself. ;) Next time, try normalizing your audio using Audacity so that it doesn't clip. Something like -6 or -4 dB.
Regarding the audio: I _did_ normalized it via Audacity...but apparently I did it wrong! Need to look more into how to do it right. Thanks for you patience and still sticking with it! I am currently at 2350 Points, anyone beat that?
Cool little wack a mole game :) +1 for the volume issue, next time try to play some audio on another app to get the same level. Normalize is not necesserly a good thing depending on the audio because it push the audio to the maximum level available, it's good for having all sound the same volume if you have a lot of different sources, but you got to mix it down later to a proper level
