Hi, nice game and congratulations ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.
It is a sad state of affairs when the only comment you have is spam. This one is legit, trust me!
Right, you are right. Incomplete most certainly it is, but not all is lost in the land of the hopeful. Potential is present, I can feel it pulsating like the throbbing cow (nice animations there).
I can only imagine the grandeur of the burger, as none are coming out of the stove no matter how many cave men I sacrifice to it (it really looks like throwing men into the fiery machine, except they come back unharmed).
If you do decide to continue this project I can at least give a few serious suggestions as well:
- All the 10 cavemen should be in the middle of the room at the same time. The caveman dispensing button is just plain weird.
- The cavemen workers should be visible when they work. As mentioned before, them disappearing looks just plain weird.
Two is a few right?
For being your first one it is really cool. More to the point, you made it alone, which I think it is already a triumph (since it is hard as hell).
I don't know exactly how you manage to make a burger, I understand that it is because it is unfinished (or maybe I am too noob xD). However it has potential, I like the idea, and the pixel art is cute too. You put a lot of effort into it. You did a nice job. Keep on developing!
It's a good start ! It's too bad we can't make burgers with what we made, but I guess it could be a nice, addictive game :)
Thank you all for the comments! There currently isn't any way to make burgers in this version of the game, since I couldn't get the mechanic to function properly by the time the deadline rolled around. HuvaaKoodia's idea of the cavemen being visible while working was an idea I had at first, but, alas, I just didn't have time to add that feature in.
P.S. Glad you like the "throbbing cow" animation. I made it to look especially derpy and weird because that's what I imagine milking it in the odd, cartoony world that is my imagination. :D
I'm guessing there is no way at this time to make a "burger".
A big hurdle with Ludum Dare and something new and veterans struggle with is scope. Make at least 1 key thing and some way of winning or losing. Then focus on the flair and presentation.
One instance of a win/lose condition would be to feed everyone in line or lose if the line hits the cave entrance.
