Apr 28 16:57:24 Mocap, Mo' Problems ♥ 2 I'm a simple man: I see ragdoll physics, I like game. Seriously though, good job with the motion capture! There are obviously a lot of things to work out with this entry, but this game is ambitious enough that it's an impressive entry even without a lot of the core mechanics that make it a game. My one nitpick with the mechanics is the attack; it's pretty difficult to pull off. I would recommend either making the attack animation have a shorter windup, locking the closest enemy in place while you attack, or giving the attack a weapon and a much larger hitbox. Aside from that, just running around and smacking enemies was fun enough that this was a good entry on its own merits. Good stuff!
Apr 28 17:14:41 17m 17s Deep Cover ♥ 7 Love the style! It feels like it belongs in a comic, which really helps sell the story. The mechanics do get a bit repetitive, since there's no variety beyond simple fetch quests, but I really like the idea of collecting bits of evidence to get secret keywords. Some simple puzzles (IE if there were some pieces of evidence that had been shredded and you have to get all of the pieces, or if there were some pieces that were partially burned so you have to fill in missing letters, or even some pieces that were so tiny you needed a magnifying glass to read them) would add a lot of flavor to the game. For a Ludum Dare entry, the whole experience is really impressive! Great work!
Apr 28 17:44:10 29m 29s Dino Digging ♥ 2 I spent more time than I care to admit playing this game. Very addicting! Good job! Some game balance stuff: The pickaxe is leagues better than anything else in the shop. In all cases, it's a better strategy to save up 20 points and buy it first than it is to buy anything cheaper. To compensate, I would make the shovel clear all the dirt from a layer, not just connected dirt, and I would also make both the lamp and the health upgrades purchasable multiple times, starting at 3-5 points and increasing in price with each purchase. Also, the pickaxe shop description should make it clear that it only clears tiles *above* the one you click (assuming that was intentional and not just a design flaw).
Apr 28 19:42:04 1h 57m 6 Feet Under ♥ 4 I would have bought this game. It was that amazing. Difficult? Yes. But the mechanics were *so* solid, and the art *so* beautiful, and the sound *so* polished, that it had me hooked til the very end. Fantastic work!
Apr 28 20:37:03 54m 59s Awfully Good Pizza ♥ 4 I'd like to introduce you to my masterpiece Carbon Nanotubes.PNG I call it "Carbon Nano-Tubes" Also would highly recommend spending a day serving literally everyone pizzas with 0 ingredients. 10/10 absolutely terrible game in the best way possible
