A very interesting concept,but executed a little poorly. I would suggest assigning each team member 2 keys to use their abilities,to control a little easier.

Nice concept. The controls were a bit confusing but I really liked the enemy design. Good job. :)

@Senor Salty @PanicTheFirst Thanks for your replies, I know the controls are confusing, I had a lot of problem with that. I tought about the 2 keys for each character, but then I would have been to similar to mmorpgs in my opinion, having 1 to 8 being spells, you would only have to button mash. But I agree totally that the controls are complicated. At first I also had idea that would emphasize on the character selecting ( picking up items, actions...) But run out of time. Anyway thanks for your comments :)

Nice, I like it :) I see you had the same idea about controlling more than one character :)

Nice little game. I have some difficulty with the control at first but when I get it, I have fun. Great work.

Interesting concept! A little hard to control the 4 characters but nicely done! :)

The game concept is perfect as it is. Great nice game prototype, but you should do it more playable and fun
The high attack cooldown and not so good controls make me less fun from the game as it can be!

But the done job is great and you are super cool! Make it! Do it! You can do nice games ;)

I assume you were rooting for the "controlling many" theme :) The concept was interesting, and with some more work and polish, it could turn into a neat squad based action game. I liked having to form a team while thinking about how each class complements each other.

My main complaints are you don't really have to control the party, and can solo the game quite easily, partly due to the awkward party controls, and partially due to being able to rush to the object since it's directly below you. It can be hard to micromanage your team's position, and as a result, it's difficult to use them properly. I feel like you had a good idea for a strategy game, but converted it to an action one without having a real sense of how the controls and managing should work as one.

I feel your pain (and I assume every participant does) on running out of time. It's a good concept. Focusing on how to manage your team, making teamwork necessary to do well, and how the game should control, could turn the interesting concept into an interesting game.

Really liked the concept and the music - I think you should have picked a cover photo that does the game more justice! I am so bad at multitasking - I really sucked at this :p But I liked how you could cycle the camera focus between characters, really clever. Great basis for a game there.

A bit too challenging to try and control all those characters at the same time. I got wiped out by the first blobs a couple times before giving up.

I liked the concept, but not the implementation... Controlling the characters is quite difficult, and that makes the game not fully playable. Graphics are in the category of programmer art tho. Music is nice

Good Game :D

Managing a 4 man squad with these game controls is too hard. In my opinion, it would be a better design choice if this game was turn based or the squad size was smaller

@MrErdalUral I know the controls are messy, but I didn't make this turn base because the main point was to make a platformer but I wanted it to be different. So making it turned base would be against my main objective. But I thought of making the party smaller, maybe 3 characters would be better. Thanks for playing :)

Good mechanics, but have lil bugs, and controls are not pretty good.

The concept is really cool, but like many other said, the controls could use some work. With some fine tuning of the controls, I could see this being a game where it just keeps getting better the more you practice and the better you get at controlling each of your 4 chosen characters.

Keep working on it, the concept's got potential, but as many said, the execution could use some work.

Good idea, I feel that you could have added more animation towards the characters, and with the people your not controlling have a npc control it, and as mentioned before the controls could be worked on a bit.

My window was not wide enough to display everything so the game just cropped it. Consider automatic letterboxing for this case, meaning that you make the game smaller and put black bars on the top and bottom or on the left and right edges to compensate for the extra space.

I played it a second time, choosing a wider window but with a smaller resolution. This time the camera was above the characters so I only saw the menu at the bottom and the sky above the characters.

You should really work these issues out right at the start of creating your game. If the player cannot play your game, why bother creating all the cool content?

The way you select your characters in the menu is cumbersome. Also I cannot see which box at the bottom is currently active. Then, why do I choose four out of five characters, why can't I just deselect one?

Why is Q for the character on the right while R is the one on the left? The keys lie in the opposite order on the keyboard.

The characters walk a bit too slowly for my taste.

The music is fine but a little generic. It fits the shooter theme, though.

After all this critique, let me say that your graphics look nice and the monster AI is good.

Interesting concept, but seems really tricky to execute properly, in a way that being an octopus isn't required to fully enjoy the game. >.<

Either way, I was totally confused, and the fact that I got that screen setting where the sides get cut off didn't help, either (I couldn't see the "CONTROLS" button, so I was completely lost). Even knowing the controls, it was pretty hard, until I finally decided to make a team of all marines, gather them around the same place and use their secondary abilities alternately (Q, 2, W, 2, E, 2, R, 2, repeat). With that, I eventually defeated all the slimes I faced and eventually reached and destroyed the artifact (the movement was kinda slow, though).

Aside from that, audiovisuals worked well enough, and there was some variety in the enemies and backgrounds, it seems (I didn't quite like the black and white floor). Overall, rather decent entry, though troublesome controls and slow movement take away from the experience to an extent. ^^'

Interesting idea! But given the control scheme, I selected only marines and only used its '1' ability alternately. :(

For a platformer, the layout of the level is quiet strange... There isn't any real "platforming", the player simply falls to its objective. There wasn't even a situation that required me to jump...

You really should learn to use Unity's UI system! If you had set the anchors correctly, the UI would be automatically resized, and no one would have trouble because of the screen resolution.

I had two issues with the controls: there's too much stuff to micromanage and the controls are indeed weird. I can see a few different schemes that could solve those two problems at once:
- Use RST commands: Instead of having to use the keyboard for everything, it could be used only to select the character that will act, its action and how to move (as a group or as an unit). Then, the mouse could be used to move the group and to select a target (on which the unit would use its selected action). Given the level layout, this kind of pathfinding would be really easy to implement.
- Have one button per player: Instead of assigning 8 buttons (one per player, per action), 4 buttons could be assigned for action, with a separated one used to trigger between the main and secondary action. This seems way more natural for me, specially if gamepad were supported (e.g., each face button on a gamepad for each character action and the shoulder buttons to switch between action and group/unit mode).

Still, I must say that I liked really your idea! But the implementation needs more polishing...
