TOSSC is a game about tossing coins and destroying slimes!
Kill all the slimes in each level to win, but be sure to manage your coins wisely. Toss your way through 11 levels! (More to come eventually with new themes and elements.)
I really like the limited ammo concept and the puzzles were definitely well designed. I hope you keep going with this because there is a lot of potential with the concept and the levels are definitely built around them really well.
Love the idea here! Everything is really solid overall and very enjoyable. The only thing I'd say is maybe try to incorporate some music into the game, I think that would really help it. I don't really have any critiques other than that though, great job!
@gamechoy I was going to have a friend do some music originally, but during the jam he was suddenly unavailable. I'll definitely try to fill out the feel of the game more, ie. little background elements and music for each world when I find time for that!
Woaw, i think that's the more interesting game i played on this jam actually. Maybe the hitboxes are too precise or you need to have more trys but instead of it this was a pleasure to play. Thank you !
Outstanding game and thanks for making this one. I enjoyed it a lot. The game is very smooth and I could not find anything wrong with this one. This game really has a unique idea and can be taken further.
Starts off a bit confusing, gets fun in the middle, then the last few levels are just too obnoxious, trying to make difficult shots and having to reset from the start each time. It's a good puzzle effort that certainly could've been a bit clearer IMO and maybe needed a bounce-indicator or something later in the game to make it more puzzle-solving and less trick-shooting. Good idea and a nice start! Thanks.
@pyrian I'll be looking into adding an indicator for aiming/bouncing as a mainstay to fix exactly what you described. I've replayed my own game a lot and realized that especially when I introduce bouncing shots, it becomes a total guessing/resetting game and I'd much rather it stick to being puzzle-based, so I think taking out any possible challenge from aiming shots and making it solely about figuring out the puzzles is a good idea. Thanks for the feedback!!
A very good entry, with very interesting puzzles! Your analysis of the effect bouncing shots had on the game is accurate; I gave up on the last level because I had already retried too many times. Instead of (or in addition to) the aiming indicator, may I suggest an “undo” feature? This would also deal with mistakes related to timing.
A super cool and very well made little puzzle game. The game could really need some music and some better sound effects. Overall a really great LD game. Well done.
What a fun and enjoyable little puzzler! Every level felt fun and unique, and there were a few eureka moments in the game, like in level 8 where you had to shoot past the moving blue slime at first and hit the green slime so that you could use it later to make it to the next green slime to the left after opening the door next to it when you came back around. The bouncing wall mechanic was definitely interesting, but I felt like at times the accurate shots you had to pull off with them made the game a little harder than it needed to be. Maybe add an aim indicator that telegraphs the bullet's path when you aim towards a reflector? The game was fairly innovative as well; the idea of preserving your ammo to solve puzzles definitely made for some interesting gameplay. I did feel that the implementation of the theme was a little weaker here, but the game is still great regardless.. I really appreciated the art style (especially the little blobby dudes), although the reflector blocks kinda blended in with the background. The sound effects were well-designed and provided clear feedback for all of your actions, although I would have liked some music. (but I get it, my game doesn't have music either) Overall, Nice Job! I give this game 4 stars!
