I'm sorry to hear about your illness. I admire your courage for completing your first Ludumdare. This edition's my first too.

feizenbara 2013-12-16 10:21

It's a bit hard to see if there is any difference in gameplay when you catch a coffee/flower/trash, but everything else is fine :-)

milugames 2013-12-16 10:22

That was quite good! Good job overall!

Graphics were my favourite bit. Worked quite well. Would've been cool to have a few kitchen furniture obstacles in the middle though.

ossah 2013-12-16 10:24

Loved the pixel art and the sound effects. Nice theme tune too!

ghosrath 2013-12-16 10:26

Really like the idea. As you said, simple game, but a lot of fun :) Love the SFX and music!
Keep up the good work.

crowbeak 2013-12-16 10:29

Grats on completing a game. :D I like the graphics.

jed-tiotuico 2013-12-16 10:49

Well done considering you're ill plus this is your fist game jam

About the game. First, I love the message of the game. the game play is fun and with a sense of humor. I like that you chose the #nokill sidequest because the kids would love playing this. Animation and the consistency of the pixel art is well done.

coblynau 2013-12-16 14:21

Thanks for all the feedback so far, and the well wishes. The good news is that I should be better in a few days; and it's your feedback that matters more to me than winning, so I appreciate the time you've taken to try my game out. :)

gtoknu 2013-12-16 15:11

Awesome game, awesome message it pass :P. The pixel art is very solid, the audio too. Great how you made every object with it's own collect sound.
my best score was 14, 11, 13, heh

covebit 2013-12-16 15:11

Really enjoyed it, keep rocking :)

marcellus 2013-12-16 15:11

good first entry, congratulations for finishing it

timtipgames 2013-12-16 15:13

It was fun to explore what the different items do. I somehow expected the coffee to give movementspeed instead of a time bonus ;) Graphics are nice and consistent.

infin8 2013-12-16 15:48

Great use of theme! Not to mention the art and sound really caught my attention. Didn't really noe what I was collecting at first though.

moist 2013-12-16 15:50

I love the sound of little footsteps. :) That's a solid entry, good job.

joeprogram 2013-12-16 15:55

Oh man, I hope that's pet poop appearing on the kitchen floor, and not indie dev poop! I would have liked the different types of objects to have consistent lifetimes, so I could learn what would stay out for a while, and what would be removed right away.

disdanes 2013-12-16 17:07

Hope you feel better! Great idea, always good to remember how awesome Mother's are :) Got a 97 on my first try!

red-mike 2013-12-16 17:29

Really good first entry! I liked the art, though I had a bit of trouble figuring out what everything was first. Looking forward to seeing your future entries!

donutttt 2013-12-16 17:47

I think this is great. I've started it up again to listen to that menu music! It's great. I also like the sounds when you pick up the different objects. This is fun, all round a good game and a great effort.

xaychru04 2013-12-16 17:51

Nice game! The pixel art is lovely and I enjoyed collecting all those different items. Great idea too. Good work! :)

solluxx 2013-12-16 18:23

Haha love your take on the theme. Nice job for just a day. Feel better soon. And nice job with the #NOKILL

spierek 2013-12-16 20:42

Nice graphics and a fun take on the theme! Good job :D

capitals 2013-12-16 23:47

Lol, you even did the side quest #NOKILL. Looks good for your first Ludum Dare. More complete than mine. :)

d__adee 2013-12-17 03:02

It's good. I like the pixel arts. And the YOGO mom idea is really nice. :)

paperblurt 2013-12-17 12:49

It's like my mom.
YOGO mom is real philosophic!

nyrrrr 2013-12-17 12:59

I really like the style and the theme song :)
Took me way too long to realize that the coffee grants me extra time ;)

dekart 2013-12-17 19:11

Thank you for reviewing my game! Unfortunately I cannot return the favor - I don't have Windows so I cannot try your game. Anyway, good luck with it!

withoutpillow 2013-12-17 20:41

i liked how i in subsequent playthroughs learned what the different things did, it made the gameplay a lot more fun. good job with the graphics too.

oskardevelopment 2013-12-17 20:58

A fun game that's touching a very private part of everyone's lives. Thanks for anticipating in Ludum dare and good luck! :)

hnjslater 2013-12-17 21:16

Since I do not have Windows installed I cannot play. Shame. :(

katamori 2013-12-17 21:23

You're right, this is not so much. But somehow, this is the kind of "not-so-much" stuff, that I can still strongly enjoy!

That "Mom's of the world, we salute you." sentence should have been added ingame, but the depth of the game is still big compared to the complexity of the gameplay - partially because of the "implementation" of the theme. Also, it looks kinda cute!

You deserve a 4 overall without any doubt.

psychomonster 2013-12-17 21:28

Yeah moms are very cool. Good idea. Nice little game... Is that blinking thing a smartphone? If yes... hahaha moms should nevr touch a boys smartphone ^^ Cool! Like it!

binary_girl 2013-12-17 22:07

good job man.. hope your feeling better :)

toureiro 2013-12-17 23:21

Great job. I enjoyed it!

endesga 2013-12-18 00:10

Heh-hey! This is pretty cool! :D

vanaficionado 2013-12-18 01:17

This game was great!! Got almost 5-stars across the board from me! Funny, fun and great art!
P.S : Thanks for rating my game.

mrtedders 2013-12-18 06:01

Great game for your first attempt, especially including the fact you were sick while doing it. Great work loved the art and sounds

mrjordan 2013-12-18 06:43

Got tense at the end there. :)

lipedal 2013-12-18 22:36

Loved YOGO Mom! It's very addictive, and once I understood the items and what I shouldn't clean up, I couldn't stop laughing! Mom's feet and the sound she makes when she's walking are lovely. Plus, it's great that you get one extra second after you're finished. Don't know if that's on purpose or not, but it's very rewarding to get an extra coffee after your score is already on the screen, and you get more time to keep playing. More games should do that :D

lilinx 2013-12-18 23:07

I like the sound she makes when she walks

diptoman 2013-12-19 16:17

Haha, quite a nice and feely take on the theme! Loved the pixel art and the menu music! Also, get well soon!

fysx 2013-12-19 21:28

Great humour, and you're damn right: mothers of the world, I salute you!

I found it however utterly unrealistic that the poop removes itself automatically. At least from my experiments this does not happen. But maybe you just meant the smell. Yes that gets less over time.

But seriously: congratulations on your first entry. It is very solid!

peacegiverman 2013-12-20 00:12

You're a tougher man then I am. I missed a couple of Ludum Darec because I was sick.

Anyway, your art style is nice, but the floor tiles don't seem to fit. Your game catches the atmosphere of "Oh dear God, I'm doing chores all day", which many kids usually don't notice about their mothers. Which is nice :)

2hitadam 2013-12-20 07:35

Super cute game! Graphics and menu music were sweet, but most of all I liked the message. Rock that mom respect!

roguenoodle 2013-12-20 14:47

Great first entry! Really cute pixel art, nice interpretation of the theme, fun sound and you completed the No Kill side mission - I'd say it was a big success! The only part of the game that confused me was the black box with the white outline and three coloured pixels. I couldn't really tell what that was, and the sound that played when picking it up made me feel like picking it up was a bad thing. Is it?

snutidesign 2013-12-21 00:33

Hope you feel better now. It was our first LD as well :D Simple game, nice with the mechanic that it added more time or subtracted time. Best part about the game was the theme, kudos to all the moms out there!

zephyr-raine 2013-12-21 22:27

Solid game, maybe lacks of challenge a bit.

kgs0142 2013-12-23 08:09

Congratulations on your first entry !
It's a nice theme about Mom, can't agree with you any more :D
YOGO Mom and be nice to her~

And thank you for comment my game,
First time heard Soccer Kid, It seems like a pretty fun game :D

archaeometrician 2013-12-24 15:26

Hahaha funny idea ;) Made me smile :P Congrats on your first jam ! I hope you are ok now !

archaeometrician 2013-12-24 15:26

Hahaha funny idea ;) Made me smile :P Congrats on your first LD! I hope you are ok now !

postmodestie 2014-01-03 00:57

very funny kinda..

janmavzla 2014-01-07 00:12

"Alt Enter for HD" <- Awesome.

The music was a tad weird, but that didn't make it bad.

Nice game!
