PyWeek - hello - feedback

I like the controls, and the stick figure is funny. The boss is interesting with its different phases. It was just hard to figure out and the one-hit kill makes it pretty unforgiving.

This feels like i've inhaled a rainbow.... in other words 10/10. I love how wacky and random the game is, along with the tons of meme sounds that played, including the Undertale music and Spongebob sound effect :D, the controls also work pretty well. The game is so random and silly, which is something I always like seeing, very fun.

This is fun, I like the variety of obstacles! The last upload is showing me only the bottom of the screen though, so I had to use a previous version. Also, you shouldn't be using an Undertale song for Pyweek, please look for a song you can use next time. Nice work!

It just opens a black window and the music starts playing, but it stays that way. Here the log from the console:

The dodging and ducking game is complete, and just a little bit fun.

3D is a fair bit harder than 2D, but the game is not very visually appealing, lacking shading and shadows (which you should be able to get easily in Ursina?). Shadows would help with timing the ducking under pipes, and parrying bombs.

Collision feels clunky, with unforgivingly large hit boxes, and jerky "knock back" from hitting stones - it would be better to deflect. Player movement could have acceleration.

Overall the game has a very simple, cliched gameplay and needs a lot of "juice" to make this entertaining.

Funny little game :D Got killed by a shark in the boss battle, but enjoyed what little I did play through. Fun sound effects, nice 3D models, and the funniest game logic with slipping on banana peels in the water. Good job!

Nitpick: It doesn't properly work on macOS, Ursina doesn't initialize panda3d's GL version properly for the shaders to work. You can see the 3D objects, but they're flat without any lighting. But it's sorta playabe.

Cool game! I liked the twist on the tube ride! The 3D graphics looked great, and I liked the combo of music and sound effects. The 3D models looked cool and there was a nice mix of challenge with the different hazards etc. I liked the squid boss and shark attack towards the end.

Such a simple idea with great execution!
From the goofy sound effects to the funny death animation I laughed a lot playing this game. And the bossfight is a great addition to spice up the gameplay.

- no requirements.txt file for getting started?

* I liked the 3d graphics
* How much of the project was an iteration an earlier pyweek? Was the river the change?

Really hard game. Maybe I am not used to the controls but those monkeys Would make me slip and then those wood logs would kill me. I didn’t get far enough to see the other enemy types.
