made by Antidote for LD27 (JAM)
Oh no, grabbing the precious GOLDEN IDOL has triggered a poison gas trap! You only have 10 seconds in each room to reach the antidote at the end, granting you yet another precious 10 seconds.

But hey, why not try to grab as much MOOLAH as possible on your way out?

Awesome job you guys! Feels quite fun and polished, and the graphics/sound are just great!

Really good! Unexpectedly polished for a 3d game made in a few hours. Sound, visuals, gameplay...all pretty awesome.

Great work :) you guys are beasts! high score of 612 gold.
I actually didn't get the "objective" of collecting gems at first. Making the objective more clear and rewarding them for their score (like dropping all their gems they have from the top of the screen at game over) is all I would change. 5/5!

Thanks Teddy! Yeah I totally agree, objectives (and controls!) need to be made clear in the game, we literally were cramming features into the game until the last 2 minutes, so lots of polish is still needed on that front!

I have a billion ideas for how to improve a bunch of the rooms and make the game balance way better and more exciting, but all that is for post-jam versions I guess :)

This is really impressive work for only a weekend! It's also interesting that shooting costs money (I was thinking about doing something similar for one of my projects), but right now the ratio between money for killing enemies and money lost for shooting seems a little off. Then again, I might just be bad at shooting accurately :P

Really cool! I like the risk/reward tradeoff from looting levels more thoroughly.
Zap
28. Aug 2013 路 00:59 UTC
Amazing! Feels really satisfying to shoot and when you complete a level.
A tiny bit more explanation would be nice. For example, I had no idea it cost gold to shoot until I read Mclogenog's comment. I guess it's because there's no real punishment for having $0, and no reward for having a lot.

Good job again!

28. Aug 2013 路 12:18 UTC
VERY nice polish on this one. The graphics , sound and music are great. The gameplay is actually pretty dern fun too. Shooting the various baddies and vases was very enjoyable partly due to the way they would shake and then finally explode into a mass of jewels that splattered everywhere. How many levels are in this game? I played through what I thought was quite a few before I died and I kept seeing different stuff. I couldn't figure out how to get more dynamite. Is there more dynamite available in the levels somewhere or is what you start with all you have? Probably the best I've seen yet. Great job!

28. Aug 2013 路 15:55 UTC
Incredible quality for an LD, as I mentioned in the twitch stream (daniel was in there), I kinda wish the score wasn't linked to shooting, because that seems a little bit punitive.

Otherwise, I got caught up in it immediately, really enjoyable to play, had to play it three times to complete it with a final score of $0.. see previous remark.

Well done!

Damn, OCD shows again, I just wanted to collect ALL the gems, but it just isn't possible in 10 seconds, but that's okay, because else it wouldn't be a great highscore-based game. Although at the end, it's really difficult to even get to the antidote within the 10 seconds.
Really great graphics and audio. I'm really impressed.

Thank you very much for the comment on my game! It's a pity you didn't find any friends though - would you be interested in playing a post-compo version of my game? I think I've improved the hot/cold mechanics (and some other stuff) there and I especially want to know whether people that didn't find the friends in the original version can find it there.

Now on to your game, though - I hope it was worth your wait:


Wow, this is great - a perfect example of what you can achieve with a team of dedicated people. Everything fits together.

The gameplay works really well. Shooting vases and enemies, running, planning your route over timed traps and collecting riches until you should really go on - everything feels so smooth. I barely used the dynamite though until frantically right at the end out of pure desperation (and mostly still dying afterwards). I might've used it more often if it recharged or could be picked up - having only 3 of those made me think I should only use them when I really need them, and of course, that time only comes once.

The visual style is awesome. Shiny, clean and cartoony - it perfectly fits the gameplay. Good job at the lighting too! And the jewels - they just look so rewarding. And they FEEL rewarding, which is due to good feedback - and that's because of the great sounds, and not only there. The music is the cherry on the cake, creating a frantic yet enjoyable mood.

Great, great game. Good work, all of you!

Wow, super professional and polished product here. Great sound effects, smooth animations, nice difficulty curve, everything is just top-notch. Fantastic job.

My only complaint is that it took me FOREVER to realize why I wasn't collecting any money (each bullet costs money).
Gabriel
02. Sep 2013 路 22:42 UTC
Wonderful game, really loved it! The general aesthetics (sound, graphics and movements) are simply top-notch and could be in any commercial release - for a jam game then, it is completely outstanding! I also enjoyed the controls and general gameplay. Regarding the 10 seconds limit, I found it a little too oppressive for the size of the levels, specially because the overall level of polish and cuteness really makes one spend some time just looking around and exploring... Still, I played a lot of games this LD and this surely is one of the very best I've seen so far! Congratulations, this really is unbelievably good! :D
(is 'unbelievably' even a word?) hahaha

All in all, an awesome job. Congratulations!!

The linux version unfortunately didn't run for some reason -- this is the first unity build that hasn't worked for me! I run the game and it prints the usual stuff to the terminal, at the point where the unity box would usually open the program exits without any messages!

A bit of a shame since I would have liked to try this one.

05. Sep 2013 路 11:13 UTC
Nice one. Not sure if it's a bug but picking up some gems looked like it was actually decreasing my money instead of increasing. Fun game, good graphics and sounds. Found it a little punishing to start from the start again, and also didn't like the knockback on the dead slimes when they were blocking my way entirely. Other than that this seemed really polished and was very nice work for a weekend!

Wow! I'm impressed! This game put me in situation since the very beginning, with the zoom-out to the menu. I love those menus! After that, I knew that I was going ahead a great adventure.

The game is fun, and the details in the prop objects and in the textures is awesome.

The time limit force you to run and dodge enemies, without shooting so much.. I've passed the first 5 level without shooting any single shot.
The visual and sound were pretty awesome, nice work!

Very nice work! This was my 100th game! (I was saving it for this!) Hah, no but really I loved the graphics, sounds, and overall Mood of the game was very good. The music was nice as well. This game really seemed to fit the theme well and had a great overall feel. I am running 2GBs of RAM, and 2.0GHz processor; some levels ran fine whereas others would drop into the single digits of FPS. I seemed to be found of getting stuck on walls. I could not reliably shoot enemies and found it hard to aim. Keep it up!
Darien
12. Sep 2013 路 09:29 UTC
Good stuff! Not too hard just to get through it, but the added aspect of chasing high scores is a good plus. Only nitpick I have is that I wish movement were aliased to arrow keys also; I'm not very adept at WASD, and since I'm a lefty-mouser I really have to crunch my hands up. Other than that, great!
