Right Mouse Click - Speak

Note from the devs

This is our second go at making a game, EVER and second LD event. We did reuse assets from LD 51 because we had busy weekends and wanted to compete! Once again, this was a blast to participate in Ludum Dare! Thank you for checking out our project! - Willie, Brandon, Matt, and Marty (Spry Bean Studios)

Was pretty fun to play, but the music cut out after the first level

I played a few lvls. The music is nice. The player is a bit small and i got stuck on walls very esay. It took me way to long to realise how the switches worked. Otherwise its a good game.

Audio only worked during the first level for me

Nice little game, the gameover is bit abrupt

LDJam user 09 Jan 2023, 21:08

Sound effects and music threw me off :(

Lukas Boersma9 Jan 2023, 21:09

Love the general style and atmosphere! Took me a while to figure out that I was missing a rake at the end of the first level, the sound when clicking the soild indicated that something was already happening

Didn't hate it, didn't love it. It was pretty fun and confusing (the music didnt make sense with the graphics but like it was pretty funny). Good graphics and simple yet effective gameplay, you people did great!

This was fun, I forgot how enjoyable top-down dungeon-like games could be! I also appreciated how the levels actually felt different as it went on, instead of just being more of the same.

The sound effect for finding something was a bit loud compared to the music (and sound stopped working after I switched between tabs and back), and I also found myself getting stuck on walls at times, but none of those majorly detracted from the experience. Great job!

LDJam user 09 Jan 2023, 21:21

Not gonna lie, very impressive for the second game ever. Well done!
As other people mentioned, adding a sound slider might help with balancing the loudness of all the different sounds.
From the mechanical point of view, you could give a crack at implementing some sort of dodge/roll, or run mechanic, because in some case I felt like it took a bit too long to traverse corridors which don't add to the experience.
Overall, quite liked it, can't wait to see more from you!

It's fun, but I would like to move faster and get a closer camera.

that music felt so out of place for this game, but yet it was so amusing

LDJam user 22175010 Jan 2023, 15:59

I played a game, and it was nice! Although items on the floor are a bit hard to distinguish! Interesting aesthetic choice, combining gloomy dungeon and farming.

Decent game of it's style.

I'd suggest making pickups more different in color from floor. Now it is bit hard to see anything

RedSorelGames10 Jan 2023, 22:19

Well, i won some levels and had fun at the beginning ot the game.
Maybe some level are too long, or the system doesn't change enough.
I like the DA, it looks really cool for me.

The graphics are cool and it's fun to play. Although I think the music doesn't fit the rest of the game.
Great entry!
