I dont get it, but I dont think i'm supposed to get it
Haha, didn't expect that when I started playing it. Turned into a funny gimmicky game really fast!
uhhhhh .. Gotta collect that sweet sweet ludumb dair money!
I am confused and slightly disturbed 10/10
Confused and disturbed is exactly the feelings i was hoping to evoke!
Thanks for playing everyone!
The theme song gets me everytime. Amazing sequel there!
Lol, gotta have fun with gamedev!
This was a pretty funny game, and it made me smile.
On the screen where you are supposed to press space to make the game, I was disappointed that pressing space made no visual difference. I would have liked to have seen it control the guy pressing on the keyboard or something. -- also because of this, I didn't see that I was actually supposed to keep pressing space to progress for a little while because I missed the tiny % progress bar on the side.
Sometimes the sound effects seem delayed from what is causing them. I noticed this from shooting lasers in the boss fight. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not.
I think you did a great job executing what you were trying to do. I think that some of the annoyingly high goals were a way to evoke the theme, and they actually ended up not being that bad when its just something you are doing while listening to the narration. However, when you start swimming in your own money to somehow collect more money, the audio starts playing on a loop, and then you start thinking about the gameplay again.
I love the scope that you set for yourself, and I think you should start looking more into game feel for your future games. Also, have you tried using any other game creation tools other than Unity? I feel like Unity only makes things more complicated for a game like this.
@niborious: thanks for the feedback! As for the sound effects, them being "off" probably has to do with the effects not being particularly well cut, they have some dead air in them. That said, i wasn't going for any really specific tight timing there.
I have indeed used other tools, mainly java, XNA and unity for game development specifically, with a few other things here and there over the years. I personally really like unity, and it's generally my go-to.
Loved the oddity of it. lol.
It is a masterpiece! Duck Tales Forever! Fun over 100500!
is this the new battlefront game everyone's talking about?
The best game I've played so far (for this ludum dare at least, well haven't played a lot though but still).
Brilliantly excruciatingly painful. The music and SFX were on point. And I actually laughed out loud (like not total out loud laugh but a lot of small 'humphs').
The good point with this game is that it turns its bad points into good points I guess ^^". The only default I'd say is that with the weird voice, the bagillion sound effects and the gameplay it's hard to understand what is being said sometimes so I didn't get the whole story.
(but that music tho :ok_hand:)
This is simply perfect :D :D
Haha I usually don't know what to rate for "humour". I do know for this entry :)
Great job, although I felt the tasks were all a little too long considering they were all rather tasks of the type "do this annoying thing for a while so that you can see how the story progresses". Story was enticing enough to do them anyways though ;)
Crikey, that was amusing. I like games with a narrator, and the music was... well, er, interesting! It was fun to see it through to the end. I was initially concerned that it wasn't really on theme, but then as the money started pouring in, it became obvious that it was.
This is quite unique. Good job!
P.S- Your version of the Duck Tales theme was AMAZING.
Pretty amusing and inventive. I liked it.
What an oddly relatable story! I admit that I cracked up at the catching money part and ESPECIALLY in the Duck Tales parody! I loved it and it made me laugh. good job!
Duuck tales, I mean, Star War!!! hahaha very funny, loved the game :D
I love this game hahah! Nice kazoo music!
WOW that's annoying (in a good way :)
dude i just died when the ducktales theme came up. thank you for this game :D
What did I just play ?
Minigames where more annoying than anything but I kept playing as I wanted to see what came next. Good job.
This is the only compo game I've played where I had to stop and take a break from the game so I could catch my breath. I was laughing so hard the entire game. What a bizarre game. Duck Tales--I mean, Star War-- is a riveting adventure from beginning to end. Somehow it managed to have depth as a narrative while being absolutely stupid at the same time. Loved it.
I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that. 5/5 humor easily.
This was amazing! I was poor at the end though... maybe another Star War? :)
Wow, what an original game! You made this?
...
I made this.
Jokes aside, this was an absolute blast. This is the stuff I love to see out of Ludum Dare. Anyone can take a theme and make some generic and uninspired game that recycles old mechanics and gets lost in the seas of mediocrity, myself included, so having someone take the opportunity to just make some bizarre experience that sets itself apart from everything else just warms my heart.
Despite how silly the game is, I love how much thought went into it. Having the amount of things increase over time for each minigame to not only speed them up but also provide some humor in doing so is a great little detail.
Overall I loved everything about this. I hope you go straight to the top of the leaderboards and that you get to swim in some sick ludum dare money.
My favorite part was the audio while swimming in the money, "Star Wars! I mean..."
