Haha, that was really cool.
Thanks, now I can make better games.

tsamisaherb 2013-08-26 02:52

Funny--but in a haha I'm afraid how many of these my game fails at kind of way...

qrunchmonkey 2013-08-26 02:53

Simple and to the point. I Love it!

titans 2013-08-26 02:59

Cool use of the theme, and valuable lessons.

ix 2013-08-26 03:47

Nice ending, :)

archaeometrician 2013-08-26 03:49

Hahha amazing that was really nice !
I laugh all the way throught :) Nice work !

tork 2013-08-26 03:50

Great idea

toadfrogs 2013-08-26 03:53

This game made me LOL! Though you got some points there :D

vani77a 2013-08-26 16:06

Fun game lesson, i really enjoyed that :)

robotparking 2013-08-26 21:54

Haha, I really enjoyed the concept.

f345an 2013-08-26 21:57

Fun and really informative at the same time, awesome :)

imef 2013-08-26 21:57

Cool game and very instructive! ;)

vasileiadis 2013-08-26 21:59

The controls were a bit fuzzy at first.. you made a very bad first impression ^_^

The game was very cool, unexpected and well implemented!! Had a smile on my face the entire time ;)

falconstar 2013-08-26 22:50

Great idea for a game! And those were all sensible tips. :)

eggplant891 2013-08-26 22:53

It's always worrying how many games fail to meet these basic ideas. Still, a fun and practical concept. :)

teejay5 2013-08-26 22:56

"Always leave the player wanting more"
Well, that's exactly what you did.

Great advice, and it's presented in a really creative way! :D

lustdante 2013-08-27 00:29

Always leave the player wanting more.

Timeless advice.

flyingbear 2013-08-27 07:55

Some words of wisdom in here! Very enjoyable, thank you.

diningphilosopher 2013-08-27 19:56

Awesome, a meta-game :D
The music was perfect for this game, where did you get it?
At first I didn't notice why the levels reset, but that was of course the theme-time limit.

okayhughes 2013-08-28 02:05

This is so enjoyable, and yet so shaming. Really well done. Meta-games are great.

tobiasw 2013-08-28 02:25

Haha, I like it. There aren't enough meta-games in LD! The advice is great, and the presentation - well, it's not exactly flawless, but funny instead! Oh, and: Congratulations on finishing your first LD entry!

(Gosh, HTML5 can suck a lot. Firefox: Looks and sounds fine, but runs extremly choppy. Chrome: Runs and sounds fine, but the text is blurred. Internet Explorer: Looks and runs fine, but there is no music - curiously, the sound effects work though. Sorry for the rant, but uuurgh.)

tobiasw 2013-08-28 02:28

Eh, I just read your description - I really don't want to be the guy to call you out, but it might help you in further LD compos: The rules don't allow to take premade graphics/sounds. Everything you use must be created by you in the 48 hours. (Except fonts, drum loops/instruments and some exceptions for code - more detailed here: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/rules)

It would be a fine entry for the LD jam though!

2013-08-28 05:07

Very fun and very cool. Great game!

douglasv 2013-08-28 06:12

Thanks a lot to everyone for the compliments and advices!
@Dining Philosopher
The music was taken from the link in the description which, as @TobiasW pointed out, is cheating just as the graphics:(

Oh well, at least I'm happy that you guys enjoyed the game and maybe learned something.
Won't happen again!

siat 2013-08-29 01:05

That was really funny, thank you!

kazukishida 2013-08-29 15:12

Great, short but sweet lessons, haha! Loved it! :D

I think it would be okay to edit your entry as a Jam entry, so that it could still be rated properly. Cheers! :D

peace 2013-08-30 07:11

Very cool, wished it was longer...

jupiter_hadley 2013-09-01 06:45

This is awesome. Thank you. I featured it in my Ludum Dare 27 compilation series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVlJsYHr1MU

antidote 2013-09-01 16:33

Nice lessons ^^ interesting to see this concepts being broken and how that makes us feel xD too bad it was only 10 levels, would have enjoyed to see more

gabriel 2013-09-02 02:51

Really fun! It is interesting how much this can actually teach by showing the effects of doing things wrong! A very clever and interesting design, congrats man!

Cheers from Brazil!

otus 2013-09-02 17:02

I think this is great, and very creative!
Pretty funny too.

Nice job!

saschanarr 2013-09-04 22:41

Something very different! Great advice and nice visuals. Should be used in any game design 101 course instead of the first batch of slides!

badgerpriest 2013-09-05 21:51

Haha, this is great.

ashdnazg 2013-09-06 13:56

Other than the compo-jam issue this non-game game is quite amusing. I laughed out loud at the menu :)

diogomuller 2013-09-06 19:19

Very good way "tutorial-game" :)

broxxar 2013-09-06 20:08

Enjoyed the humour, I imagine you'll do particularly well in that category!

sebastian 2013-09-06 21:49

Hah that menu screen was hilarious. Brilliant concept for a game, or whatever you want to call it!

lokarunith 2013-09-06 22:24

Very clever, I liked the message and the level design a lot.

I can't give merit for the creation of the graphics or sound but they are a nice choice and combine well. The best part of the game is that it is very humorous.

heroesgravedev 2013-09-06 22:36

Believe it or not, this is the best entry I've played so far.

ithildin 2013-09-07 00:24

Great advice! You've managed to take lessons everyone of us developers should learn and turn it into a game. The theme connection seems a bit arbitrary to me, but it's still a very interesting entry :)

casimps1 2013-09-07 00:41

Clever little entry that any dev can appreciate

rhy3756547 2013-09-07 02:15

Nice work! Loved the idea and I did enjoy playing, though there wasn't much gameplay. Too bad you used external audio and graphics, but I'll rate it as if it were a Jam entry because of it.

bitowl 2013-09-07 13:53

Awesome!
Need to come back to this before next jam :D

megashroom 2013-09-07 17:27

Nice!
You should have made this before the compo though!

lucidlarva 2013-09-13 21:00

Went in expecting little ten second slides. WAY better than expected. Nice job.

michail 2013-09-15 00:02

Nice to see something different and creative :)

janmavzla 2013-09-17 18:39

This was really nice! Didn't expect it at all.

Great great work!
