This game is fun for a few runs, but it has some big issues holding it back that should be easy to resolve.
To start with the positive, I really like how you’re rewarded for learning the levels and going for the burgers for extra points. I do wish the penalty for dying was a bit less, but I simply need to not die to avoid it.
The idea of anti-perks that give you extra points is very cool. It does mean that your total score depends a lot on getting good anti-perks though, which for such a short game makes it very rng-dependent.
The visuals are simple and lovely. I very much appreciate that the buttons get pushed in as you press keys.
Now for those issues (they should all be easy to fix, but they’re significant):
Whatever starts attacking you half way through the night, I never even once heard it before it hit me. I’ve never even seen the thing. Does it even make a sound other than that grunt half a second before the attack? This seems like it could be a bug.
This game is effectively a fast-paced precision platformer. It needs coyote time. The amount of times I missed a jump because I was a couple frames too late started to really annoy me.
There are a couple levels that can kill you very quickly if you walk forward, which means you can get chain-killed if you die when you don’t expect to, losing hundreds of points.
I fully expected fat chud mode to break things. I did not expect it to actually crash the game. (also it didn’t give me any points :<)
All-in-all, good game! Hoping to see a post-jam update to clean some things up (and maybe fix that web build!)
Fat Chud Mode managed to create a duplicate of my character, and seemingly of the level, and there kept being new duplicates as I tried to keep playing, to the point where the screen was justta jumble of level geometry and a bundle of player characters stuck in a corner, until the game started hanging from all the nodes presumably.
dude HOW. literally all it does is play a muffled sound of me bullying the player from under the bed and remove your score by one. and the only other culprit is the aperk system itself. but id assume that the other aperks still worked right?
From what I could tell, yeah, didn’t have issues with any other anti-perks. It’s possible it was just coincidental timing, but it lined up with me taking fat chud mode. (I definitely thought it was intentional at first, honestly! Seems like a fun way to punish a player that gets too greedy, except for the crashing the game part. I lost so many points before it crashed from all the duplicate players dying.)
ok ive never seen this bug before. and i have no clue how that could happen. so it prolly wont be fixed unless some miracle happens in my brain and i find out how ._.
