Well, good job guys! The rules are simple and it works well. I had fun on your game and I liked the end. The small arrow to indicate the path helps well. There is a small bug on the matches. If a matchbox is found before the end of a previous match, the timer is not reset. A fogged map and displaying a table of hight scores could be good updates. I finished the game in less than 13 minutes. Who does better?

Cute wurmy-thing! I thought I was immortal, then I walked into a push-pin and died a horrible death!

Basically a maze, except it is in the dark, so everything is harder!

cool game, only if the page wouldn't scroll when going down (maybe WSAD instead of arrows to control?).

alexdonazzan 2017-05-16 10:15

Thanks for your comments :) normally, you don't need to scroll... the worm is the scroll master ! ;) could you give me your game to try it please ? (i don't find it)

Nice game! Though I agree I was a bit scared when I heard that voice!! (You know which one.)

It's a fun game, though! :thumbsup:

nikkilak 2017-05-16 11:38

I like it! Reminds me of some of the old DOS games :)

walnoot 2017-05-16 12:43

Cool game, exploration based games are always fun. I just wish there was a bit more content, like hidden collectibles or extra difficulty (like enemies, keys/locked doors). Or maybe there is more, but I stopped playing after six levels. Anyways, the mechanics are novel and fun, so I´m calling this a good game :)

Nice little maze crawl! It would have been nice to see my final time on the victory screen, I think I got somewhere around 8 minutes but I can't be sure. Good job!

@ben-mceldowney, @walnoot, @nikkilak, @anubhav-kashyap, @szimano, @ryan and @vikfx, thank you all for your comments !

Cool but simple game, but I really missed some extra elements. Just going through a maze isn't that entertaining. For the rest, the controls were kinda weird to me (I did actually play in fullscreen). Hopefully you can take a look at our game as well! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/earth-invaders

Good job guys. Matches bonuses are really a good idea. Well done.

egordorichev 2017-05-16 16:29

Wow, dude, great game!

Good game, I had a lot of fun. I have actually thought of this game mechanic myself, but you have done a great job at it! I didn't enjoy the nails mechanic a lot, as I wanted to rush through the level and being punished for playing fast was annoying. I was impressed at how you split the story in small messages in each level. If you have time, have a look at our game too: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/atomic-clicker

Great design, well done to fool the player! Those SFX were weird in a great way!

That's a nice little entry, congratulations :)

The matches were a neat approach to making a straightforward maze more interesting; I found myself backtracking to matchboxes just to be able to scope out the map faster!

superbusyrobot 2017-05-16 21:17

Fairly straightforward stuff here. I do like the incorporation of custom sound effects, although maybe a little bit hammy and over-the-top, but it works for Humor. I would say in the future to maybe texture blocks and stuff a bit more if possible, as the sprites themselves are nice but the levels can feel kind of bland at times.

Even singular blocks and repeating textures work well in a game like this, and visually I feel like there should probably be a little more detail thrown in for what is essentially a maze game. The storyline's got some pretty funky names included, but otherwise introduces the small world concept pretty well and the objects kind of reinforce it too, so good stuff there.

Bon on va faire un commentaire en francais du coup vu que tu as commenté notre jeu en francais :o Plutôt sympa, un peu simple mais bon c'est jeu de Jam donc là dessus on peut pas s'attendre a une jeu AAA L'univers graphique est assez cool, les controls manquent un peu de répondant mais c'est supportable. Ce qu'il manque le plus c'est une petite musique d'ambiance et surtout une sorte d'ambiance générale : on est projeté dans quelque chose dont on ne connait rien, on ne sait pas si un objet va être dangereux ou utile du coup on test et... on meurt ou on vie, c'est assez frustrant sur le premier abord. Sinon bon travail à vous ! En espérant vous revoir aux prochaines Jam :D

Fun entry, the character remind me of earthworm jim. Nice gameplay

reiv 2017-05-17 20:18

Nice game, the matches were really helpful! The SFX were weird and funny at the same time :D

hunttis 2017-05-18 14:45

A simple game, but works. The browser scrolling was driving me crazy :D Like suggested above, maybe use "wasd" for controls to prevent scrolling (if you don't have control over the page and can stop the scrolling yourself in code)

gael-philippe 2017-05-18 21:41

The browser scrolling can be solved by playing full screen on itch.io !

Thanks to all of you for your comments !

simplepotential 2017-05-18 22:22

I really like playing maze style games and this didn't disappoint. Maybe some music would have been nice, but you had sound and that is always a plus. Thanks for commenting on my game!

mesa 2017-05-19 04:45

Great work guys! It's a pretty fun little maze game. I have to say, the sound effects are pretty hilarious and unexpected. All in all, very entertaining!

unidaystudio 2017-05-20 02:58

Wow, very creative entry. I've laughed a lot when I listened the character"talking". The audio was very fun.

Good job! :D
