Multidimensional Bull Slaughter by JNyknn

[raw]
made by JNyknn for LD30 (JAM)
Multidimensional Bull Slaughter is a game where you slaughter bulls to keep the balance up (don't ask). Unfortunately there are bulls from two different dimensions/worlds, so you have to change the dimension repeatedly if you want to slaughter 'em all! If you miss a bull, the balance will go down and eventually you will die. Creepy!

I liked it quite a lot, it's funny without much text, and quick to learn (but actually quite hard).

Great graphics and idea ;D... Except so much killing and blood ;<. Anyway, quite difficult and tricky ;p

Fun game with nice graphics. Bulls are a bit too fast for me!

I suspect you preferred the day and night theme from the voting eh?

Damn this is actually difficult! But strangely compelling... sweet!

Cool game! But hard. It's a memory game more than anything as it is now. Remembering which button holds which weapon. Perhaps making that more visual would make this easier to pick up.

Great game. Switching between worlds took a bit too long in my opinion. But really fun when you get the hang of it.

Great Game! At first it feels kind of rushed and an easier learningcurve (perhaps unlock different enemies with time) but after i figured the controls its really funny!

Good game, it IS multidimensional, but it took me a while to learn which key controls which weapon, and I always ended up mixing them up.

Nice simple game! Like the pixel art.

That was fun, I liked the simple learning curve. This game would work nicely on the app market.

I like the cow evolution with the level increase funny and challenging.

I don't know how people play but in WASD configuration, I usually place three fingers on ASD, the fact that you use W to switch world require to use one of the three attack finger, which reduces a lot the comfort. Switching by using the space bar can increase the velocity of action hence the fun.

i liked the game. you need to get a hang of it but it was hard for me the first time i tried the game. well it was hard all throughout :))

Fun but REALLY hard! Graphics are awesome and loved the level of polish (particles, sfx, etc). Controls were a bit tricky for me because I'm used to WASD for movement but didn't tamper the experience.
Good job!

When I saw "ASD" in the instruction screen, I realised that it was made for a qwerty keyboard. So I pressed alt+shift to switch my keyboard mapping, and BAM! i was in the game (despite the "press enter to play". Minor thing, I know, but still.

Nice game overall. The difficulty might be a bit too much at start, but it's okay.

Did much much better the second time. The extra-fast bulls were too much, though. Neat game!

A very difficult game, only for those with good hand-eye coordination (not me!). Nice graphics and concept. Good job!

Really fun game. Like the art and sound effects. And the fact that you have to slaughter bulls... for whatever reason.
But the controls...
Switching dimensions shouldn't be on W, but rather on Space or maybe right arrow key, so that you don't have to move your fingers from the keys all the time, which slows you down.
And I would really suggest displaying the three actions for the tree buttons on screen. You could still add a hard mode where you don't display them, but for the beginning it's a must.

Great execution of the theme! I played it until I got a... decent hang of it! :P

I do have one note though: The dimension switching should be on a different key - it messes up my flow to have to move my fingers up when there are easily accessible keys like shift or space.
