Like it,very reminiscent warioware

alismuffin 2013-12-17 11:41

Wow this is cool!

Really nice range of games! Some things are a bit unclear as far as instructions go, but after playing enough I imagine it's easy to pick up :)

oddballdave 2013-12-17 15:34

Fun distraction. Would have liked it if the games didn't repeat in a single run until I'd played them all, but that only a small gripe.

gamelabbers 2013-12-17 15:49

Nice, good replayability until you get all the games right.

strangelander 2013-12-17 16:01

I agree, randomly go thru all the games before repeating.

cakencode 2013-12-17 16:05

I agree with Gamelabbers, I couldn't stop until I'd beaten all the different game types. It was really cool to try and figure out how best to beat all of them, like the one where you're supposed to shoot the ship. The first two times I just sat there and took a shot after a second, it was the easiest thing to do but when it came around a third time I was holding the movement buttons and then realized just how hard that level is if you move anywhere or miss that first shot :)

stmatn 2013-12-17 16:06

Cool game!
Feels a lot like wario ware :)
For the eating-game multi directional control would have been helpful!
The timelimits are hard, but challenging. Besides that, the audio and graphics are really nice.

brotherst 2013-12-17 16:10

yeah same crit here, shouldn't have to play a game you've already one. But man, that was really fun!!

01rafael 2013-12-17 16:11

Oh! Did I play about 1sec in each game? :) That's pretty fast, but not enjoyable, though.

shigor 2013-12-17 16:15

Sometimes it's a bit unclear what to do in the minigame, but overall, yeah, good one :)

ob6160 2013-12-17 16:23

Love the range but more instructions would be cool :D

mortl8324 2013-12-17 16:33

Awesome game. I like the fast paced factor. Feels nice and actiony. About your question in regards to my game, I might expand on it. Maybe if people request it.

dyn 2013-12-17 16:47

Great idea but need more difference. Anyway, really fun!

grifdail 2013-12-17 16:52

Fun. Perfect warioware game. God job for only 72h !

prophet-steve 2013-12-17 16:52

Pretty fun, lot of variety, also great graphics! The theme seems a bit shoehorned in though and I would also like to not be able to get the same game multiple times after each other.

grifdail 2013-12-17 16:53

Fun. Perfect warioware game. God job for only 72h !

valerien 2013-12-17 17:35

Even if it is simple, it is very addicting. I couldn't get past 13 but I noticed how the difficulty increased like in wario ware so well done in only 72 hours.

tanser 2013-12-17 18:32

I like it though maybe just a bit more time in each mini game would be nice.

colapsydo 2013-12-17 18:59

The variety of gameplays and graphics was fun.
I'm not sure to understand the game with the flag.

photon 2013-12-17 20:03

Cool little diversion. Some had more "quirks" than others, but ultimately it was enjoyable.

kayelgee 2013-12-17 20:06

Fun game but I'm too unskilled to win 11 times xD

toureiro 2013-12-17 23:40

YOU ONLY GET ELEVEN?
Haha, heck, they were fun. Good job.

venks 2013-12-18 00:07

Thank you so much everyone that played! It's great to get all this feedback. Wario Ware is one of my all time favorite games so when I got the idea for this I decided it had to be done.

I was very rusty at coding, I hadn't coded anything in AS3 for about a month. One of three days I went without sleeping to fix one of the many bugs I was getting during the early stages. I'm really glad the game came out as well as it did and am even more pleased that so many of you like it!

I'll definitely have to figure out an easier way to convey how to play some of the challenges. I'm so used to older games where you die until you figure things out, but that's really not gonna cut it, is it?

Again thanks for all the support!

insane66 2013-12-18 03:28

Warioware definitely comes to mind. Fast paced. I got the same game repeated 2 times, several times, maybe need a tweak to the random sequencer. Good job overall! I liked it.

mclordalex 2013-12-18 04:14

Very Very Nice Bravo

thatguy 2013-12-18 04:57

Fun mini games, now we want more! Nice work.

christinaneofotistou 2013-12-18 05:09

Omg my first full star for this LD. Yep, I'm giving it 5 stars everywhere, for real. The screenshot really doesn't do it justice, this is awesome. Even better than Wario, it's geeky and nerdy and full of references and I love it <3

devo 2013-12-18 05:23

Great warioware. Loved the story of borrowing games you added.

mandala 2013-12-18 05:32

Street Fighter, Super Mario Bros. 2, Bomberman references were great.

hyde-wyvern 2013-12-18 06:22

Reminds me so much of WarioWare, such an original idea deserves 5!

pietro-ferrantelli 2013-12-18 06:33

Amazing job for only 72 hours. Very interesting submission. Congratulations !

jan 2013-12-18 09:14

Great game, liked it. Fun to play.
Would be nice, if all games had at least two set ups.

latfoued 2013-12-18 09:50

Pretty cool concept, but i didn't get that i was playing until the first gameover :p. Nice work

john_conder9 2013-12-18 09:54

Great job! I am still not sure how to beat some of the games, like the break one. I beat it once and failed it every other time, plus sometimes it has spikes!? What? I don't know. :D

But chock full of great references and the art is fantastic, good job!

john_conder9 2013-12-18 09:55

Oh, also, the music. It still is playing in the background, great job on that :D

pixlexia 2013-12-18 11:15

This game is fun! Love the graphics and the music.

jhelle 2013-12-18 13:50

Great sprites. I enjoyed it but somehow got the music playing double. Won't rate you for the music cause it's not yours

maple 2013-12-18 14:02

Pretty cool! Reminds me of that game jam in which everyone made a room that contributed to one bigger (linear) game... Forget what it was called... I think it happened in Canada... Also, obvious connections to Warioware -- a good game.
Some of the mini games I didn't understand at first (for example personally I would have titled "Break?" as "Wait" or something, as I stupidly tried to break the box above my head (unless that was intentional)), but yeah.
Oh also I naturally prefer X over space, so I immediately realised that X doesn't exactly work.
Loved the music, could have done with some SFX. Otherwise this was pretty well presented. Good job!

sknoslo 2013-12-18 15:19

I didn't understand a couple of the games, but rest were quite fun. I enjoyed the variety.

tigerrenko 2013-12-18 16:40

Cool but too fast paced for my turn based fingers :D

ghandhi 2013-12-18 16:46

16 points :C

coldbrain 2013-12-18 18:02

Reminds me my old chineese NES clone with 9999 games cartridge. Well made!

30dogs 2013-12-18 19:02

Fun and challenging! You did a good job balancing the pace and leaving room for the player to improve their skills on multiple tries.

cheshyr 2013-12-18 20:43

That was a good time. Almost feels like it would have fit the LD27 theme better (10 sec). well done!

iansnyder 2013-12-18 21:30

Fun warioware-type :) Nice entry!

somepx 2013-12-18 21:49

Ludum Ware Inc. :D

moop 2013-12-18 23:38

Addictive and nicely put together.

endesga 2013-12-19 04:01

Hey, this is pretty cool!
It reminds me of WarioWare and the like, very cool!

funselektor 2013-12-19 08:07

One word: Gameception.

Good job on creating so many different games with so many different styles and some of them were pretty fun.

catonmars 2013-12-19 11:01

Very nice mini=game collection! The music is awesome and makes the tempo of the game really smooth.

diptoman 2013-12-19 14:22

Nice and fast paced, lots of fun. Catchy tune. But I don't think the theme really fits here.

jdpalmer 2013-12-19 16:40

Good work. Very cute little mini-games.

javifugitivo 2013-12-19 17:21

Nice minigames, but the music a bit loudy. Nice job!

brighterorange 2013-12-20 00:27

Good idea (though of course it has been done before), and pretty fun collection of (very) mini games. Liked the soundtrack, though it didn't totally fit with the graphical style? First time I played I got 13.

yosh 2013-12-20 08:03

This is Wario Ware hehe :D
I really like these kind of games. Maybe the game could benefit from randomly generated patterns to avoid seeing the same thing over and over.
Otherwise it's a pretty good job... congrats!

coblynau 2013-12-20 10:13

Love the music, much replayability. :)

cwkx 2013-12-20 10:41

Impressive amount of work for such a short time :)

postmodestie 2013-12-20 10:52

Haha! Ludum Ware rules!

postmodestie 2013-12-20 10:56

and funny to see this fighting cat again, i remember it from another very sophisticated LD platformer-fight entry ..?

unusualcadence 2013-12-20 13:40

Great effort on this! WarioWare is my favourite party game, so happy to see more games like it

teamflare 2013-12-20 15:00

Very nice :)

archaeometrician 2013-12-20 16:32

Nice concept ! It's really cool to have 1 or 2 sec to understand the goal of the mini game ! I love it ! Great job !

techblogogy 2013-12-20 19:49

Very cool game

van-noctar 2013-12-20 20:12

Good little games!!! But, where is the theme? >Good job however!

ariake81 2013-12-20 22:41

great fun - could keep playing this for ages. like the different visual styles of the mini games - impressive in the time limit of the jam. great that the controls were so simple. music was also good, fast paced and manic. well done!

alchiggins 2013-12-21 00:29

Nice soundtrack! This was a fun little game.

ointment 2013-12-21 00:32

Could use some more challenge. Absolutely no relation to the theme, but nevermind that if it helped you finish a game. It's like I'd heard that track somewhere before, though.

zkenshin 2013-12-21 01:14

Really solid games for a collection of minigames. Well done. :)

potomak 2013-12-21 13:57

Nice concept.

eddy93 2013-12-21 14:32

Good job. I love how different the games are

orangeez 2013-12-21 17:11

Great little game, well done!

2013-12-21 18:45

I tried to vote for you venks, good job dude

reverend-speed 2013-12-21 20:13

Lovely Warioware clone, cute abuse of the theme. =) Lots of games and systems made in the three days - great work!

mcapraro 2013-12-23 05:40

this was a really funny concept for the theme - so many games in one! really fun to play

hamster_mk_4 2013-12-24 03:24

Very nice compilation. I could not figure out the "eat" one.

anvoz 2013-12-25 14:55

Nice minigames. Really fun to play. I love the speed but I could not understand what to do in some games.

dodobird 2013-12-25 16:50

hey cool idea. Fun mix.

saulopz 2013-12-26 17:55

Cool...

split82 2013-12-27 11:41

This was a lot of fun :) thanks

ayame9joe 2013-12-30 10:12

Nice work

garethiw 2014-01-01 18:24

Scarily we had a similar idea before ending up with our plane idea, awesome that someone made it happen! The only gripe I had with it was that the music was pretty loud and didn't overly fit well, audio is often a last priority but it'd be cool for each game to have it's own unique simple music.

ratboy2713 2014-01-01 22:08

Pretty random. Not sure how the theme related.

gokuhd 2014-01-02 21:12

I love the soundtrack of this game. Well done. You only get more than one game xD.

sebastian 2014-01-03 09:34

Very fun, very intense. Good job!

taocayo 2014-01-04 00:07

Reminds me of Wario! Great game, I kept coming back to beat them all! :D

jupiter_hadley 2014-01-04 04:25

Love the idea of all the different, fast, mini games! Nice Job! I included this game in my Ludum Dare 28 compilation video, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/UY85Y9qNh3Q

loxo 2014-01-04 17:43

Good collection of mini games. I think I figured out how to play each, but got only to 35. One thing I don't like is, that not only the game type is repeated, but the level design is only slightly altered sometimes. It would be nice, if the levels were randomly generated. And some sound effects would be nice.

Jeremias 2014-01-05 13:17

I think this was a lot of work to do! Anyway, I like such games and it's always fun to figure something out with time pressure.
