You. Had. To. Go. For. Flappy. Bird. Arrghhh... :joy:

In all seriousness I really like the concept and it was enjoyable, although the mechanics minig game was annoying as heck

Not technically or mechanically impressive, but it's something. Although, the flappy bird minigame was near impossible for me it took me 4 rounds of the game to get to the lightbulb.

@peremily I hope it's clear that it was a joke :) I originally wanted it to be just one of the minigames, but it ended up much more preeminent than I expected...

@red-fan-games I wanted it to be hard to reflect the difficulty of finding a fun idea for LD, but not that hard! Maybe I should have widened that gap.

Thanks for your feedback!

Neat idea. I'm not a huge fan of flappy bird, though, so I can't say that I made it to the end!

I would like to rate the game but I can't get through the idea mini game, it is extremely hard. If the gaps were a little bigger ...

matita 2017-08-02 13:01

@simonhutchinson I knew this was a risk, but I was too late in the development when I realized it...

@richard-jedlicka you're not the only one who told me this, I have made the gap a bit bigger, I think it is in LD rules to fix issues that stop players to finish the game...

As a flappy bird allergic I could not get to the first lightbulb. I stopped playing immediatly so I could not witness the greatness of the rest of your game, sorry.

matita 2017-08-03 11:02

@j-nat I totally get it, thanks for your honesty. I guess I'll never do an error like this in the future...

That was quite a bit of fun! :) I liked the different elements sprayed in for the jam, that was cool! The sound effects were fun, the art worked well (including my masterpiece scribbles), it made the mood feel like the compo. I think if you built in a couple of more minigames then you would have a really neat little project! I hope you continue work on this, it would be awesome to see it entirely fleshed out :)

@cnoble thank you very much! I had ideas for other minigames, but the scope was too big even at the current state... I'm so glad you liked it!

You have captured the beauty of a passionate game dev wanted to come up with the next best thing only to default to the tried and true in favor of time! lol Very nice. I had fun just trying to get an idea going. :P WebGL crashed as there was < than 5 hours left. (was that intentional making fun of LD crashing during submission time) lol So I missed out the ending bu had fun :D

This game have good graphics and so funny ! The idea was great, you just made the game jam in your game of the game jam ! Lol, ****4/5 overall****

matita 2017-08-14 07:51

@prodigalson I'm so glad you got the spirit that was behind this game, the struggle of finding an original idea but falling back on unoriginal ones (the same mistake I did in the game itself)! Lol, the crash was not intentional, if you could give me some details I'll try to fix it.

@belga45 thank you for the kind words! I'm so glad you liked it!

Really fun game, very fun to play with very nice graphics. Seems to be polished. One of the best games I've played so far.

willdata 2017-08-17 21:38

This was really great. I think some alternate simple games could have it made it more accessible like snake or tetris, but I think this really encapsulates the feeling of jamming. I do think that programming should have had some other layer or have been more difficult somehow. Maybe typing wildly while also swatting bugs with the mouse? These are just suggestions, still love your entry!

klowner 2017-08-17 22:30

So meta! :D

easy82 2017-08-17 22:32

Congratulations! You entry is really unique, and not only that, but it's quite fun. :) It would have been so great to be able to actually try out the game that I have created in the game! I'd like to see that in a post-jam version. Make more games ;)

matita 2017-08-21 09:34

@theflyingkeyboard you almost made me cry :')

@willdata I'm so glad you liked it! Yeah, I also had the feeling that coding was way too easy, the bug fighting with the mouse is actually a clever idea!

@klowner eheheh that was the point ;)

@easy82 Thank you very much for your kind words! I actually had the idea of making you play the game you made, but I should have think about a plethora of assets and gameplays! :D
