S.H.A.F.T

Looks so fun, but it's too hard for me (I'm a noobie gamer).

@Onnion I'm sorry about that >> I spent a little time making the game a bit harder and linearly progressive in terms of difficulty to avoid this.. Alas, I'm sorry I did not achieve such things! Thanks for the feedback though!

Nice game. Blood was everywhere)

Awesome game! I love metal and pixel art, so this is right up my alley :D

@Adam Wallberg My kinda guy haha! Glad you liked it :D :3

Metal and pixel art? I approve. It plays smoothly and is so entertaining. I never knew I needed headbanging pandas in my life but that just made my day. Nice work!

@TIMOTHEUS-25 Neat game! Wish there was more to see, but what was there was tight and fun!

Oh god I had so much fun with this hahah! I love the pixel art and the music switching was hilarious!! Did you make the music yourself btw? It's amazing!

This game is hilariously fun! Love the art and gameplay is so smoothly, the headbanging panda killed me and I don't regret it!

@Kaitlin Quick thanks so much :3 metal and games bringing people together

Really fun game. The pixelart and music is awesome!

I love it, the shift in music actually made me laugh. Great job on the graphics and the gameplay is really fun!

- Pros: Music is fantastic, lovely art style that is cute and fluffy and nothing else. I love pandas.
- Cons: I was hoping for more innovation following this theme (but I don't mind having some pure unadulterated fun, which this is). I f*cking hate pandas.

Haha! Funny game! I see some conection between our and your game! Nice visual.

@mfric just played it now - love the brutality man :laughing:

@GastricSparrow thanks for the feedback :3 I think I'll definitely improve upon it a bit more and maybe release a small arcade-esque game with a few more features and guns and leveling system etc. :smile: Thanks!

@Hare Software Thanks for the appreciation man! I feel the music shift is definitely what pulls it all together :smile: stay awesome!

No man I love the pandas, Great Game afterall. Well done. Feel free to drop a review in our game https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/boomball

Very fun game, although its a bit loose on the theme.

Exceptionally good is the feedback when hitting a Panda: Blood, Score, Screen shake, Sound.

Liked it a lot. Core gameplay and feedbacks are very satisfying and makes for a fun use of the theme, and I appreciate that you took the time to include an arrow indicator for the health packs, even if a icon would have helped to undestand the first time.

Obviously lacking a proper progression curve but can't be held against you in a jam. However, I'd have liked a bigger emphasis on the gun ammo, as I have had trouble predicting reload time and ammo left.

Good job!

Great use of humor.
Love the switch between the happy place and metal place :)

The fx when killing pandas ist awesome! Good work.

AAAAAAAAAAH! I freakin love it! I found it hard to find something like that, just my congrats! Im in love with you guys! Fantastic job!

haha really good job on this! got to wave 5, gonna be trying this again! :) loved switching between the bat and the pistol. the pistol fires instantly when selected but the bat has a delay, which i don't know if was intentional but it added a nice little bit of strategy :) as for the theme, i guess its cutness mashed with evil cute murder? lol not really sure it fits the mashing of two game mechanics. but i'm not gonna be too strict :P it was fun and i really enjoyed it! great entry!

Ok, now after work, this was very handy and I was able to forget about everything and just enjoy it. Thanks a lot!
Sound and Art transitions between the kills are very well handled and I really like the smooth going atmosphere from menu all the way to the first kill. Found the easter egg and love the change of the title :-D Great Job!

Very cool mechanics!

Cool game! I loved the quick pace and the sudden change in the mood, it was very fun, the music went along with it pretty nice, the artwork and animation were very well done. Good job!

@Riddhee Dutta thanks so much :) also, done! ;)

@Jin9310 I'm glad it got you're mind off of everything and you could just enjoy it for what it is! :smile:

@Brendan Toy dude I'm so glad you like it - also nice on getting to wave 5 :3 thanks so much for the feedback!

@Anthony Krafft thanks for the specific feedback and taking the time to critique it properly :smile: Super appreciated!

@CrazyHomeboys DUUUUDE you're one to talk!!! Your game and visuals were MAAAD! I fell inlove with everything!!! seriously well done :3 Hit me up if you guys ever want an artist for a project :sunglasses: :smiley:

fun! it kept getting lagier and lagier until it crashed though

What a game! Kinda fun to play and pretty funny for a short while.

I really enjoyed playing this one, it's a cachy concept with eye candy pixel art. The overall aesthetics are cool, the audio fits the game well. Solid and funny entry !

Solid pixel art and great music! The dying animation was so smooth! Good game.

Very cute and creepy game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 41 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI6TXc0bclc
