KeepSausaging by TeiNRee

[raw]
made by TeiNRee for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

A game reflecting the fate of a lost sausage in the infinite chambers of death, only one goal is what its given, to KEEP IT ALIVE out there for a chosen amount of time, and not get cut by the falling knives, burnt by the lasers or blown up by the mystical spheres, while listening to the chosen music.

This is our 2nd game on ludum, we hope you enjoy it, have fun, and wont experience any bugs =P Have a great time!

hey tried the win64 build. Fun and engaging game. The point explosion that spawns on top of the player gives little time to react and jump height could be bit higher but otherwise fun game!

Quite hard, but hey, it works! Music and sound FX works great. Just like @doenerti I find the point explosion sometimes quite difficult to avoid.

I like that burnt look of the sausage.

A good balancing choice was that I couldn't just run around on the bottom floor, but needed to jump on the platforms from time to time.

Good fun, love the sausage guy. As a suggestion, for the jump it's usually more satisfying to have more dynamic velocities and animations, they talk about this in this talk, for instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hG9SzQxaCm8
Keep it up!

A challenging game!! Keep Your Meat Alive lol. agree with those 2 guys on the top it's quite difficult to dodge it. I think the best strategy to avoid it is to keep moving.

@pisito This is exactly what this blast was designed for, to keep the player in move so you cant just stay in one place and doge 1 laser once in a while. Thank you very much for apreciating!!!

@chocolat-endive I agree, probably the timer for the point explosion is too short)

@doenerti You have to HOLD space for a higher jump, if you still consider its too short, well jumping from the floor to the 3rd platform would be just flying lol

Fun game, for a few minutes. After that starts to be a bit boring. The art is nice, but it doesn't feel like it's all assets are part of the same game. Sound and sfx are very nice. I see a lot of potential if there wasn't the time limit of the game jam. But very nice job guys!

@linx Thank you very much for noticing, we really struggled with the controls, this was one of the most challenging parts for us, strangely) since we are quite new to game developing, on the 2nd day we found out that no one of us is able to draw a character and it was really frustrating, but @1337life did a good job in terms of what we were able to do :D. Thanks again for appreciating the game and the link to the video!

funny but quite hard. i think it would be more entertaining if the game starts slower and speeds up over time

neet little game, i feel sometimes the death traps are abit impossible to avoid, but overall a simple but enjoyable game

@teo-yong-jie Maybe you could describe when exactly it is impossible to avoid the traps? I guess the only unavoidable situations are when 3 lasers spawn, which is impossible and when you stand in a tight spot between the knives for instance and a blast spawns under you. Thanks for appreciating! <3

The controls feel very smooth, animations for the hazards are pretty cool, nice job :)
It does start a bit hard but once you get used to it - the gameplay is fun. Sold entry :thumbsup:
