Played this game twice, and absolutely adore the concept, humour and story. Feels inspired by Earthboud, which gets you a lot of points in my book ;P
The first time, I got a bit bored because all I could do was fight things. There wasn't much else to break the monotony like npcs or dialogue or something.
And fights got tedious, especially since all I could was three actions, and it wasn't always clear why some hits didn't do as much damage or damage than the game said they would. I'm fine with missing, but why did the headbutt seem to do 10 dmg when it says it's supposed to do 15?
I think it would be fun as you defeat/pack more items, you kinda build an inventory, so the next time you fight something, you can use something you defeated as a weapon. And certain weapons are really strong or weak depending what you use them against. So like a broom could be really strong against a dusty book, or couch, but weak against an alarm clock. That way, I gotta think about which order I beat up my household items in.
Second time there seemed to be a glitch where I couldn't target the bed? I'm not sure why, maybe it's commentary on how I need to wake up earlier in the day. But how would YOU know that??
Anyway, really creative and fun idea, just needed more polish to make it truly stellar! Hope to see you in more game jams!
the original concept ended up being too large to finish in the jam time (my bad, first time), so we were forced to scramble and cut out a lot of stuff to have anything submittable (aliens and inventory management among other things) which is why it gets boring kinda quick in the current version. we plan to keep working on it as the full original idea vibed with us pretty well, and the jam was a lot of fun, so I'd bet on us submitting stuff in other jams in the future.
God-Tier animation! wowow!11!!!
but where is it?
Hey, I helped organise this jam. I'm not sure what's up, but the jam is over and voting period is done, so just add the animations if you guys just didn't have the time to do it :D
(just make sure to keep the original jam submission file though.)
