Jimbo's Ten Gallon Jamboree by fizzyjoe908

made by fizzyjoe908 for Ludum Dare 45 (JAM)

A simple action RPG made for Ludum Dare 45. You play as Jimbo Tractor with one goal: get the tallest hat you can.

There is a "tutorial" area first, then you move on to a larger town with various dungeons. The game features real-time and turn-based combat.

KNOWN ISSUES: - It would be smart to make a save in each dungeon, before you finish it, lest yee suffer the fate of a fatal game crash. If this happens, just re-load the save. I was not able to figure out why some boss battles cause a crash...sometimes.

CONTROLS: - WASD/LMB to move - Space/LMB to interact - RMB to rotate camera - Scroll wheel to zoom camera - I for inventory - ESC to pause

CHANGES: - Oct 8. 2019: the tutorial area of the game was updated to make it more clear on how to proceed past the dreaded pigs

I got the tall hat and axed my way out of the pig pen, but then I couldn't figure out how to get to the "real" dungeon even though I walked on to the pier and talked to the guy there. All he said was, "A switch or something could go here"! I liked the camera control and funny theme.

Absolutely amazing. Great artstyle, unique idea, and combat is super fun. I love wandering around trying to find the different items to unlock areas.

One bug I found is that moving from the first area to the second makes the camera spaz out when you move.

@changemewtf There's a lever around there somewhere...maybe in one of the crates.

I am shocked with how much you were able to put into this game in just the weekend. Really well done. I just wish there were more explanation about what to do because that water thing at the beginning by the bar killed me 5 times before I realized I had to eat the food. But art style is great and story is great and humor is awesome

@mimusangel Those specific console errors are known, but do not crash the game. There's only so much I could do in a weekend :)

@fizzyjoe908 I understand, I understand, my window did not respond anymore I probably have to wait a little before leaving.

It's not my genre! I was unable to understand what to do, or how to find stuff around. The graphics is quite nice. I would have added a very small song, it become tedious to go around after a while!
Other than that good job!

The art is absolutely amazing, maybe not exactly my style of game but still had me having fun, congratulations on finishing the game

I liked the idea, but a lack of instructions on how to use the items killed the first impressions of the game, over from that, i really liked the game and its theme of a western JRPG besides the classic medieval RPG. I cant belive how much work you've made on only 72hs. it's Awsome! An excelent job guys!

I wanted to give good points to graphics but you opted out.

Thanks for all the comments on the graphics! I opted out of that category because most of the graphical assets are derivative works.

Nice game, voxel graphics looks awesome and the camera moves good. It's really interesting to play, combat system surprised me, i didn't expect it is turn-based, cool. One thing, twiсe I have stuck in area where pigs are. First I killed them, then I put on my new hat and after that I couldn't get back to the bar, because the hat got taller, or because of another reason, which I haven't figured out. So I had nothing to do only to restart the game.

@rrawrr Getting stuck in the pig area is part of the game. The crates are lootable and present you with tools to escape the confines of the _wooden fence_

Oh, really? I should try it again, interesting how far you have got)

Nice game! Graphics looks awesome! A liitle bit unconfortable to control the character with keyboard, but then I realized you can use the mouth lol. Animation looks nice when I entered the pub!
