Fresh vision of lemmings type games
Nice!
Lemmings!!
Nice! Wasn't expecting a unit management game but got a nice surprise.
I like this idea! It is kind of like Lemmings with tactics like gameplay. Good work!
I couldn't play very well, and the music disturbs a bit
I like the drawn in chalk style graphics. Good job.
Controls were a little awkward , but the concept is great!
Thanks for all the comments. :)
The game wasn't supposed to look like Lemmings... but since I was really short on time I put more than enough player for it to be beatable (if the AI helps XD).
I'm aware about the controls... After +/- 10 hours trying to fix it, that was the best I could do.
Menus are unresponsive. I have to click a dozen times before I find the "hotspot" that brings it up. (The actual menu effect is probably the game's best feature.)
Also, please kill the music! That annoying bleepy jingly thing doesn't fit at all. (And find yourself a good proofreader. Yes, I'm offering.)
I like the concept a lot! It was a bit confusing at first about what to do, but once you get going it works well. My only complaint is that everything was a bit small and hard to click, like the menu system.
Never played a sidescrolling RTS like this, weird. I beat the first battle as the dark'ans, then I guess the game froze during the cinematic? Or is that the end?
Not very much fun telling a dozen guys to fire their weapons and then watching the little baddies outrun the bullets for ten seconds. Music got old quick too. I'm impressed that you've made a unit management game with full cinematics in 48 hours, but I'm not sure where the strategy or skill enters the gameplay. Also clicking little people and menus is annoying, would prefer keyboard controls or multi-select.
Wasn't expecting to micro manage - nice!
I liked the idea, but couldnt play at all.. the menus were unresponsive... also the music was a little annoying. Congrats for finishing anyway! =D
very interesting, looked fun!
Nice game, congrats!
Thanks again for all the feedback! =D
Since most of my time was spent trying to fix the pathfinding, I ended doing a lot of things in a rush (and badly coded). For example, even though each type of player should have it's own speed, I opted to make everything equally fast. This made following the path returned by the pathfinder (and calculating jump distance) really easy, but it also made the "game" really stupid.
I might come back to this idea at a later time, but there are actually two other games I want to (try to) make before this one.
dude chalk are....awesome havent seen that b4. Nice Work
Honestly I wasn't expecting to see a game like this in LD30, but that isn't a bad thing, I really liked it.
awesome chalk art!
Agree about the controls not being ideal, but the mechanics were cool :)
The buttons could be a little bit larger, was difficult to click ^^'
Nice game! and complex for a compo entry, good job! =O
and sorry my bad english ^^'
funny weird game. with bugs though
Some great ideas, but there are few bad ones that spoil the gameplay :/ Too bad you didn't have to time to balance everything.
No future V2, version post-gamejam?
