Gorth

Since you're using Unity, you should upload a WebGL build!

nice game i loved it no flaws seen controls are easy loved your work 5/5
..............checkout my game too for karma

Thank you!
And i will upload a webGL build soon! :)

Hey ! Just to let you know, the webgl link is a 404

Music like Dave Rogers - Deja Vu ))

@rolly should be fixed now :)

@ninjacatz yep, same anime XD

Nice first entry. Could have done with some UI to help work out what items were required and what some items were. Controls worked really well. Look forward to seeing more from you.

That screenshot keeps starring at me. Help! xD Thx for naming the controls, I spammed spacebar to jump lol

@raziyya i totally agree with you! and thank you!

@nightmaresdev Lol, happened to me so many times late at night XD. thx for playing!

Gorth is so demanding😂

@econgamer He is a god that needs many sacrifices, what else would you expect? XD
thanks for playing!

Gorth is very demanding indeed :D

Love the feeling of the game!

@simone Thanks for playing! To be honest, I am kinda surprised to get good ratings on the feeling of the game. Thank you!

Gorth desires meat! This text still ringing in my head! Nice entry! Good Luck!

@falak You liked the voice acting?! Wow! Thank you so much for playing and rating!

I'm sorry I'm not up to your standards Gorth, it's not like I have a car or something that could GAS.

@snakemuho Nice reference lol
Thanks for playing!

Nice take on the theme, the only thing that annoys me is the jump height, way too low in some situations.

@crazyrems Thank you for playing! the jump was kinda meant for a speed boost, but if it annoys to many people, i can make it higher.

Fun game. The voice acting is very good to.

@bj-pucci Thank you for playing! Happy you liked the voice acting :)

Visuals, the sounds, and the voices are awesome :-D
Gorth is just too demanding, I give him everything he wants but he's never satisfied :-(

There's a few things however, sometimes it doesn't always register when pressing the jump key nor does it always register when pressing the pickup key, and maybe removing the collision for the player on the items would have been good thing, would definitely make it easier to control :-)

Anyways, great job!

@jesper-k yep, i get what you mean. Thank you for playing and we will get better!

Nice voice acting, good luck guys!

Gorth wants Sugar! Amazing art and sound design, for the gameplay as i said on stream, i made the same mistake in the last ludum dare: having throw and pick up on separate buttons, for the rest very moody and humorous game, good job for your first ludum dare guys, i hope to see more of you in the future :)

You won me at Gamers Blood Entertainment and then i saw GAS GAS GAS (8 bit version). YES! The pixelart is on point and the voice acting was a very nice touch and well done. Simple to understand and play, yet i couldnt go beyond 13 points. I just wish i could just skip the intro explaining after the first time. Nice entry.

@derek-volker skipping the intro was in my plans apparently... forgot to do so i guess. thanks for playing and rating!

This is really cool. Good work!

@codesity Thank you for playing and rating :)

Awesome, great work! :smile: :top:

@johnnyginard thank you for playing and rating ! :)

Very nice first entry.

@eric-smith happy you liked it! thanks for playing and rating :)

Congratulations!
I liked the voice and music

I think that the biggest mistake that you made was that in every reset you have to hear the tutorial all over again. Nice entry.

@marshal yep. it was in my plans to add that the player can skip the tutorial, but i forgot to do so. thanks for playing and rating! :)

I've played some games already, with most being super dark and total bummers. Seeing this one on a stream made me want to check it out on my own. Who doesn't want to play a ~~sarlacc~~ eldritch monster simulator?

A bit clunky and simplistic on the UI, but very straightforward and fast paced. Even with the theme, I'm impressed that the team managed to do something that has both a feeling of urgency and a lighthearted sense of humor. Giving a demanding god a single pea or lifting over a cow never gets old.

If anything, my one complaint is at the very beginning, where I'd like to either skip the narration or have text as a substitute to explain the gameflow. Otherwise, fantastic work. Great pixel art, and good job to the voice actor!

My team congratulates yours for a job well done. Laughs were had. It was a good evening for my Gorth shaped heart. :whale:

@moski Wow! Something tells me you liked the game :smile:

I want to update the game where the player can skip the tutorial, but I don't know if I am allowed.
However, I will update the game for collision checks now. A game-breaking bug where the food could collide with the player.

Thanks so much for playing and rating!

@marshal @moski @derek-volker @jesper-k your problems have been fixed.
Please do not re-rate the game, but just test if it's alright now.

Gorth desires are too greedy haha. I had fun with the game. Nice Work!

A bit annoying that you cant skip the intro haha, but however this was a pretty clean game! I liked to play it even if I sucked at it haha

@gamers-blood-entertainment Feels way better now, no more getting stuck or stopped by Gorth demandings :-D I still experienced a few times where it didn't pickup the items though, had to press a few times. But definitely an improvement! :-)

Something like missing inputs could be if it is inside a FixedUpdate or anything that doesn't run as much as Update. Not sure where you check for input, just a few tips if that's the case :-)

@jesper-k it's running on onTriggerStay2D... is there a better way to place it?

@gamers-blood-entertainment Ah I see, OnTriggerStay is as far as I know running at physics framerate just like FixedUpdate.
The input checking would be better to put in a Update. So if you could do the Input checking in a Update method then it would be better and then it would always register when pressing the button :-)

Quite fun, Well done !

Cute game, and nice voice acting too.

I think it would have been better to keep both drop and pickup on the same key.

@devilqube thank you for playing and rating!

@donitz yep. I am trying to fix this now.

@jesper-k i might have a solution, maybe instead of getbuttondown, getbutton? it worked way better.

Cool game! I like the graphics of gorth and the sound of his desires.
The drawback here is the control explanation after every game reset. I'd rather play immediately after I failed because I already know the controls. ;)

@lucidus If you play version 1.3, you can skip the intro :)

Thanks for playing and rating!

@jesper-k i managed to get it working on update. you've never seen more responsive controls. I will update soon.

Excellent game ! You managed to cram a good load of humor together with a thematically accurate concept, and made it really fun to play, too !

Pros :
- Great humor and fun voice acting. It was so nice not to have to rely on visual UI on a demanding game !
- Nice pixel art and animation
- The main character feels great to control, his speed gives a nice feeling of urgency
- Great music

Cons :
- Sometimes difficult to pick an item (small "hitboxes" that do not combine well with the fast character)
- Balance is a little off

Gorth desired a great game, and you totally delivered !

@jlv Thank you for playing and rating! Glad to see there are more pros than cons :smile:

@jesper-k controls should feel more responsive now, please test if that's true.

A solid game, congratulations! the audio was cool, and the song was too... I started with the mute on and didn't realize that there was an introduction, but after I lost (wasn't paying attention hue) I unmuted my pc and played and... wow, I must admit, I liked what I saw, good job

@gamers-blood-entertainment Much better! :-) Now it registers every time I press the pickup key. Definitely more responsive :-)

Nice little game with great audio! AND most important i had fun! Well done!

@master-gig thank you for playing and rating! :smile: happy you liked the audio! whats your highscore? :stuck_out_tongue:

@jesper-k mhm, thank you for testing and helping me fix this problem! i learned a lot from doing so!

@wowa Thanks for playing and rating! what's your highscore yet? :smile:

@gamers-blood-entertainment No problem, glad to be of help :-)

I played the webversion.
Fun little game, congrats on your first Ludum Dare.

really fun and creative! :))

Would've liked to hear a little sound feedback when picking up and throwing the food. Pretty simple game but quite cool. Its my first Ludum Dare too!

@sadzanenyama oh wow, We completely forgot about sound effects! Thank you for playing and rating! What's your highscore?

@gamers-blood-entertainment Nothing too good, 18

@sadzanenyama 18?! I KNOW PEOPLE WHO BARELY GOT OVER THE 3! (i got 25 :stuck_out_tongue: ) that's a really good highscore! good job!

I'm a simple man. I see Gas Gas Gas I upvote.

Couldn't beat your score but I actually thought there was some nice strategy to the game. I treated it as a quick memory game where as you traveled left and right you made a quick note of the items that are over there and try to remember them as Gorth gave out his requests. I think it's a super cool concept but it gets tough when the well starts drying up and you have to run pretty far or hope the rng saves you. To focus on what I think is the fun portion of the game, you could maybe have 4 paths instead, 2 each side where you can jump up or go down, and then make sure you spawn things just a tad closer to Gorth. That could emphasize the memory aspect of the game and make it frantic as you run around trying to remember which path had that giant meat collection building up.

The game itself has a good pacing to it. I really had fun especially grabbing those cows and tossing them in. I think if the throw had some distance on it that could make the delivery of the food pretty satisfying too. Overall a pretty complete experience and well done for a first jam!

@peachtreeoath That's an incredible score! Good job!
Thank you for your feedback and for playing and rating!

Hey Yinaal! Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream!

If you'd like to rewatch the playthrough, you can find it here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/346058131?t=10h33m27s

Good luck on your ratings, see you next LD! :D

A fun little game, but I found the controls a bit frustrating. I couldn't remember whether to press Space or F at each point in time. I feel like F is just a bit too far away from my finger to be easy to remember.

Additionally, one thing that could help you guys is to focus a bit more on maintaining pixel length. I know you were going for a pixel-style game, but the sizes of individual pixels were not consistent, and that ruins that graphical consistency of the game. For example, the little rune that speaks to you at the beginning is hyper-detailed, with teeny tiny pixels, whereas the player and the background are larger pixel sizes. Not a big detail, but in the future if you're going for graphical fidelity, try to maintain a constant pixel-size.

I know that others have said things about the gameplay, the difficulty, the fact that its hard to grab objects sometimes, etc, but I don't want to rehash what was already said. Fun game, good luck!

I loved the idea and it plays well. My main complaint is that picking up and dropping should be the same button, it was a bit confusing trying to figure out which one to press. Other than that, I had a lot of fun. It was fast-paced with a bit of strategy, exactly the kind of stuff I love.

This was pretty fun. I have to agree that it would be more playable if the two actions were on the same button, and the fence made it a real pain to pick stuff up there, but those are really the only complaints!

I have to disagree with @aurel a little bit. Plenty of historical consoles -- especially the Atari 2600 -- had sprite scaling and rotation, so pixel size consistency isn't always a strict requirement.
