Hey guys, I enjoyed playing your game! I really liked the art and eating up all the food was pretty fun haha. I think the only thing I would work on is changing the audio a bit because I felt it was sorta out of place for the type of game. Overall job well done on this game jam though!
Very educative, finally I know how the pooping mechanism works :smiley: I like the animation and the facial expressions of the little green guy. It would be nice if the player could adjust the music volume.
Very fun -and somewhat unique- setting. I did not really understand what was that green bar (life ?) Actually, I probably have not played it in the intended way, as I was trying to each as much as possible thinking that I might reproduce (you know, the kind of thing microorganisms do in video games...)
@vfabien21 Well, the point is to stay alive as a good chunk of the gut flora (true fact) is flushed away every time we poop. That being said, I don't blame you and I think your assumption is very fair lol I can also see that we should have made the goal of the game a bit more clearer.
@zlou-kote@hishicorne It's interesting how you both felt about the screen shaking. I didn't connect that it could cause a headache, that's definitely an option change to think about and also intriguing on how you thought it was disturbing. I mean I guess we are in the stomach :sweat_smile:
@seannewman22 Yeah, I can see why the music might be a little off. We were trying to aim for the sorta Dr. Mario vibe but it didn't land very well on that front. Definitely something we should improve on! @nenas Yeah, definitely something to consider as well!
I'm very happy you all found the game fun to play! We try to put a lot of love and care into these sorts of things and I'm glad it worked out well. This is also our first Ludum Dare as Cyberjack Studios so we're all extra happy! Would definitely think about jamming again haha
@vfabien21 Indeed, the goal was to discourage player to eat in every situation, I hadn't time to balance this mechanic well, but the microbiota was only supposed to be able to eat to get out of awkward situation and to recover a little health after being hit by falling food, thanks for the critisism ;) same for others comment thanks for sharing opinions, I notice the shaking should have been differently handled for instance :)
I wasn't really sure what I was doing to begin with. I didn't know why I was eating stuff until I saw the life bar. Also, I couldn't read what was in the top left corner, a bit small on my tv. Bit nitpicky but those are my only real complaints. The character was cute and responsive and I liked all the different food. The physics were good so made dodging the food enjoyable! The music, while not a bad tune, was a bit harsh. I like what you were going for but maybe a softer 8-bit triangle sound would have been more pleasant. Good game overall!
@namnam I think those are pretty fair complaints if you ask me! An upgrade on the UI and a small expo on how to play the game is warranted and would definitely help make the game better. Thanks for the music tip as well! We'll try to using different wave sounds when making some tunes. I'm glad you liked the game overall and thank you for the critique! :ok_hand:
