Gods Hunter

The idea is interesting, but not quite fully captured. The first time I played I couldn't even find the ugly so I was just wandering around aimlessly. You should probably start next to the guy so you know where to get upgrades. I would also like it if there was some reason to get the upgrades. Maybe there could be a series of increasingly stronger prey that you need to fight by obtaining upgrades from hunting weaker prey.

The deers move too fast and take too much damage, so they're really awkward to kill. Sometimes you can also just die because they randomly change direction towards you.

The sprites for the player and deers are good, but the background really needs some more work. The blank background is really disorienting when there's no static point to focus on.

Interesting game. I included it in my GM48: Sacrifice compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/Ub8Q0nEDs3I

Pretty much unplayable :/ Shooting is slow, melee is very hard to land, and deers are way too fast. Plus you get killed in no time.

Also, don't know if you noticed but you put your installer (avoid that) in you project files, and shared everything (sharing the project files is ok, but as source code). I guess it's a first time, but it really gives the impression that you didn't even try.

Not balanced, not finished, and not fun.

I can kinda see what you were going for with the theme, but this is as unfinished as a project can go, and even the little content that is in the game files is not really balanced, you don't do enough damage, and the background makes movement really confusing.

I agree with cortop!

Also, I insist on the installer. Thankfully, you had the project added in, but damn, installers are a pain! Avoid them at all cost... If you play several games of the jam (and you have to anyway) or more, you'll see what I'm talking about...

The core gameplay seems okay, but it's marred by a few things:

• The background makes it difficult to tell when you're moving. Since there's no pattern or decoration, there's no reference point for the eye. This wouldn't be a problem for a game on one screen, but this is important for a game that scrolls. It kind of like wandering around a void.

• There needs to be some indication for the shooting cooldown. At the moment, there's not enough feedback and it makes the shooting feel unresponsive.

• The deer move too fast and too randomly! I've found that making enemies do one or the other is best. So, move randomly and slowly or move quickly and predictably. Otherwise it makes hitting things feel like it mostly comes down to luck.

• Adding some basic sounds would really make the game more satisfying. Sounds for hitting enemies and being hurt are the most essential!

I know how difficult it is to finish your first jam game, so I think you did well. It works and there's gameplay. Seriously, good job!

The idea was very nice and the ugly guy is very funny, but the map is huge (you can easily lose sight of the deers), the deers are very fast and the initial firepower of the main character is far below the average.

On your next jam, try to focus in smaller maps, fewer enemies and simpler objectives as that'll help other players know your game better. Oh, and like bucketbomb said, don't use installers for Game Jam, they'll scare people away from your game.

Good start! The base idea was fun, but a few things got in the way: the reload time is too long, there's no sound, and the deer are too fast (especially considering they can leave the frame and disappear). PS: Please don't use installers for game jam.
