Also changing the graphics quality straight in the game is something very few do and is much appreciated. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>The only thing I didn't like about the game was the weird perspective. I couldn't tell the distance between my player and the other elements. Having a 3rd person camera allowing the player to rotate around the player would fix this issue easily."},{"author_name":"Sigrath","author_uid":"17204","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 9:01pm","epoch":1429563360,"text":"The controls were a bit frustrating for a platformer (played on keyboard) and I would recommend adding a simple shadow for the character so that you can see where he is in relation to the ground when jumping (would certainly make the moving platform jumping much less of a pain).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Still a good effort, well done.

The jumps are all stupendously hard because of it. It's also super hard to tell what you're currently level with.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The camera is really keen to move on from the relevant area, right where you make the first wall jump, I kept missing the target and the camera basically had me off the bottom of the screen. Again where there's a staircase made of the shaky-falling cubes, you're looking at the bottom 15% of the screen max until you're at the top of the staircase."},{"author_name":"Hyoga-3D","author_uid":"23927","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 3:14pm","epoch":1429628940,"text":"Controls could be a bit better (I played on keyboard) \r<br\/>Very nice graphics and mood, good use of the theme too."},{"author_name":"agilejoshua","author_uid":"39858","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 3:48pm","epoch":1429630980,"text":"Nice style - very difficult to play with keyboard..."},{"author_name":"JALgames","author_uid":"26549","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 4:09pm","epoch":1429632240,"text":"I really liked the game, especially the really nice graphics. The only thing I found very difficult were the controls: I don't own an xbox controller and the keys I had to use we're all over the keyboard. I think it would have been fairly straighforward to change them to something a little bit more accessible"},{"author_name":"DarkwindMedia","author_uid":"50680","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 4:10pm","epoch":1429632300,"text":"Love the style and the idea! I like how the &quot;damage&quot; is forgiving, letting the player continue on. I think the controls could be a bit better, as well as the camera, but those are minor details that can be adjusted with more feedback. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Great job!"},{"author_name":"Borkleby","author_uid":"50895","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 4:14pm","epoch":1429632540,"text":"Wow! Awesome Jam game!! I love the art style and models, reminds me of LoZ Wind Waker! Super cute and innovative weapon design; the only problem I experienced was the Xbox controller which didn't work except for the control stick. I'm using a mac so that might be it.............. I love it!"},{"author_name":"eott","author_uid":"40748","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 4:16pm","epoch":1429632660,"text":"Gorgeous game, I love the art style.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I know that a controller is recommended, but the game is almost unplayable on a non-QWERTY keyboard layout, so I'd say it is mandatory. The camera, despite the options to look around, could have been at a better angle. It was very difficult to judge distances.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall, good work!"},{"author_name":"DesignerNap","author_uid":"21374","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 4:20pm","epoch":1429632900,"text":"I agree with the above comments. The perspective made the jumps harder than they needed to be and the depth of field blur around the screen made it a bit worse... however.. the game is great. I played to the end and really enjoyed it. Using the lollipop on walls to jump is a nice and original mechanic. It was a delight to discover that. Superb work. Plus bonus points for a random basketball bit :D"},{"author_name":"dyfer","author_uid":"50857","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 4:23pm","epoch":1429633080,"text":"like it , good idea with the gameplay of the weapon , a lollipop sound a bit stupid normali but the way to use it is very interesting, good job"},{"author_name":"Fluffy Tigers in the Sky","author_uid":"26553","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 5:02pm","epoch":1429635420,"text":"Well done!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>As others have already commented, there is an issue with  loss of momentum and the perspective, but overall the game is quite fun.

Environment, characters and the cel-shaded graphics look beautiful!

I do think that the perspective was a little weird, though. It was difficult to tell how far away the moving platforms were, and the tutorial signs were hard to read at that angle. I also think it could have benefited from some invincibility frames when the player gets hit by an enemy\/sheep. Whenever I got hit, the enemy would keep moving towards me and hitting me over and over until I fell off the level... Still, it was a great entry and very clever use of the theme!"}],"images":["ld32\/12944-1baa16a9e3f553e5e8774d2ad8f6d508.jpg","ld32\/12944-dd8c4186a227859afdc5aef6c36f49bc.jpg","ld32\/12944-e482bee8e3745c09b965e7f9c668cd70.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/20488140\/LollihopWeb\/LollihopWeb.html","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/20488140\/Games\/LollihopWin64.zip","text":"Windows 64"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/20488140\/Games\/LollihopWin32.zip","text":"Windows 32"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/20488140\/Games\/LollihopVR.zip","text":"Windows VR"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/20488140\/Games\/LollihopLinux.zip","text":"Linux"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"11124","g_author":"12944","g_event":"LD32","g_eventkey":"27","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"11157","g_title":"Lollihop","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"170","g_commentcount":"28","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/12944-shot0-1429562083.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/12944-shot1-1429562083.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/12944-shot2-1429562083.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Hop around and use the sticky deliciousness of your lollipop!\r\n\r\nXbox controller is HIGHLY recommended.\r\n\r\n\r\nControls (also shown in-game):\r\nLEFT STICK \/ ARROWS: Move\r\nRIGHT STICK \/ WASD: Camera\r\nRIGHT STICK PRESS \/ TAB: Zoom\r\nA \/ Z: Jump\r\nRIGHT BUMPER \/ X: Run\r\nX \/ C: Wide Attack\r\nY \/ V: Overhead Attack\r\n\r\nBACK \/ R: Reset VR Tracking\r\nPAGE UP \/ DOWN: Graphics Quality\r\nHOME: Return to Checkpoint\r\nEND: Reset Game\r\n\r\nSource code & assets: http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/jvrhqe8","title":"Lollihop"}
