I downloaded Windows zip, but the contents was an apk, no exe

ekkoekko 2018-04-24 04:44

Cool Graphics!

reality-blind 2018-04-24 06:33

Sorry, the Windows link is now fixed ! :heart:

sandovictor17 2018-04-24 09:18

woow.. i love it, nice work! if you want to see our game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/guns-n-goals

glorious-kittens 2018-04-24 09:24

Was a bit confusing at first but after 2 tries i found out how to play. It was fun a bit tricky but still fun.

tayfun 2018-04-24 09:24

Heheh. Can't we shoot the girlfriend and save the world. Very funny game. Loved it.

itsamii 2018-04-24 09:26

I really enjoyed playing your game, it was really nice. But what I don't understand is that when I get to the 2nd wave she isn't showing me what she wants. So I simply lost, but still a pretty good game overall.

nehvis 2018-04-24 09:28

Fun game, very nice artstyle!

reality-blind 2018-04-24 09:33

@Tayfun We are aware of that bug, we will fix that as soon as we can :)

germanicus 2018-04-24 09:42

What engine or framework did you use?

narudgi 2018-04-24 09:47

Cute game :D

reality-blind 2018-04-24 09:47

@Germanicus We are working on Game Maker Studio :)

bbaf 2018-04-24 10:46

Fun game with cute sound effects. But sometimes this girl wants something which doesn't really exist on the screen :D

reality-blind 2018-04-24 11:30

@bbaf Being the only one girl on Earth makes her picky I guess πŸ˜„

gamedevmumin 2018-04-24 12:04

Very nice entry! I noticed it because of art, so the same way i found your previous jam game, Dragluttony :D I like everything about that game! Artstyle, humor, gameplay :D Really - one of best entries here :D

reality-blind 2018-04-24 12:23

@GameDevMumin Thanks a lot πŸ˜„

We had tons of work as this time we were only 2 instead of 3, but we're really happy with how it turned out !

joemid 2018-04-24 13:59

Hi! Playing on Windows remotely through Mac- had issues with the screen size?! Just a small window in the center- and am pretty sure it has to do with remote graphics? Will try again on the Windows box when I get a chance- and rate then, but thought you should know! Thanks!

zak-zeddam-zakaria 2018-04-24 15:25

its a good idea a nice way of implementing it and its fun

flatterp 2018-04-24 15:29

The audio and visuals were really coherent. Might have been sort of cool if she was wandering after whatever she wanted and you had to protect her. Either way, fun to play!

reality-blind 2018-04-24 15:52

@joemid I will add a "F" shortcut to toggle fullscreen. Have you tried "Alt + Enter" ? Anyway thanks for the feedback πŸ™‚

@zak-zeddam-zakaria Thanks, glad you liked it !

@Flatterp Yep, that could be a good idea ! Having her sitting all day is quite sad when you think about it 😁

dj-depressive 2018-04-24 16:11

Really fun game with a loveable artstyle and fitting sound effects. The soudtrack was nice and the gameplay felt right. However, when I got past wave 5 the wave counter increased by one, so I got to wave 300 without seeing an "enemy" since wave 5.

reality-blind 2018-04-24 16:20

@dj-depressive Yay another bug to fix ! Thanks for the feedback, I will check that now !

bintex 2018-04-24 16:30

lol. A great idea!

pestodesign 2018-04-24 16:32

The flaming cats are awesome! Also that balloons go up, and cats run horizontally. My only issue is that it is a bit repetitive.

diblow 2018-04-24 16:38

Great game ! But the difficulty increases too slowly. At wave 12 I was tired of it and let my poor girlfriend alone :p

jan5366x 2018-04-24 16:39

Makes a lot fun, good job :D

reality-blind 2018-04-24 16:41

@pestodesign It was intended to have some ennemies spawn on certain waves, but we didn't had time to do it properly so everything is "unlocked" right from the beginning πŸ™‚

It certainly could be more balanced too, but meh, you know, time is short on a Ludum Dare πŸ˜ƒ

And yeah, flaming cats rule πŸ”₯

langotriel 2018-04-24 16:42

Really solid visuals and audio! It's a simple concept but is put together super well! I love the humour and only wish there was more of it (maybe through dialogue etc). Great work!

bros 2018-04-24 16:52

So, after completing 10 waves here my feedback:

Cute graphics, fantastic sound effects (I love that meow), using a TANK to defend the girl is absolutely realistic. I would do the same.

The only thing to complain: It seems there is no ending. Although I gave her everything she wanted, the heart could never be filled completely.

It will never be real love? FeelsBadMan

pestodesign 2018-04-24 16:53

@Reality Blind Tell me about it, never enough time! :D But still nice game!

arthur-amorim 2018-04-24 17:08

It's a really fun game, for sure. The sounds and art style fits really well the concept. You did a great job, congrats!

reality-blind 2018-04-24 17:13

@bros Does love really exists after all ? πŸ’”

I totally agree with you, it needs further tweaking to really have a goal, we didn't really tested it on a long term run.

@pestodesign

warticware 2018-04-24 17:39

Fun game liked the idea! The graphics were cute and the sounds were great!

ragnta 2018-04-24 17:54

It's a very nice game. I made virtual pet game, too :)

pestodesign 2018-04-24 19:06

@reality-blind True! Or you put your efforts too much on one side! I had a good idea, added nice graphics with a lot of work, and ended up with unpolished crappy mechanics :D

joekinglake 2018-04-25 12:58

-Edited- Accidentally commented on the wrong game earlier, updated my comment below!

reality-blind 2018-04-25 13:25

@joekinglake Thanks for passing by :)

Sorry for the hitting issues you encountered, it wasn't the case before you'd always hit the guys, thanks for pointing it out I'm going to switch it back to what it was, working when tired is not a good idea :)

joekinglake 2018-04-25 13:48

@Reality-blind gah! I'm sorry i commented the wrong comment on your game i just saw, i have a list of tabs of games i'm working through and got myself confused. Your game is next on my list to play, especially since you guys have an android build and i can play on my commute! Apologies for that and looking forward to playing shortly! :-)

reality-blind 2018-04-25 14:27

@joekinglake Haha, no worries, I know what a browser can look like while a LD : the page of your game to see activities, and 67 other tabs with games waiting for you to play πŸ˜ƒ

Thanks to you I fixed something I missed on my last build, so don't apologize you've been helpful even if you have not tested the game πŸ˜ƒ

yetman 2018-04-25 16:09

The art looks great, the music is really nice and the gameplay is fun. My only complaint is that it is a bit easy (the difficulty was rising slowly) so the gameplay felt a bit repetitive after a while. However, this is one of the most enjoyable games I've played. Excellent Job.

reality-blind 2018-04-25 16:16

@yetman Thanks for the feedback, we had almost no time to tweak the game before the deadline, the post-LD version contains a better wave script, resulting in a more pleasant playthrough that is progressive and becomes challenging when you manage the controls :)

rac-games 2018-04-25 18:34

Very cute game, really cool to see what you came up with for the theme. The sprites and sound effects made the characters very endearing πŸ˜„ The explosion effects added a nice feedback to hitting the little adversaries. As some mentioned the wave progression could use a little tweaking and there could be a little more variety, but seeing that you are already working on this and that these are very minor issues, it is difficult to find anything beside this that should be improved. Awesome entry ! πŸ’‘

reality-blind 2018-04-25 18:47

@rac-games Thanks a lot ! As said above, I have worked on the wave script to refine it but didn't implemented it in the builds, because I don't know if it can be considered bug fixing ^^

joekinglake 2018-04-25 19:42

Wow, absolutely loved this. I was suprised at how beautifully polished this was and how well constructed it was.

The aesthetic and audio work perfectly and are impressively coherent for a jam game. The feedback for everything is sublime and works lovely to ensure the player knows whats happening at all times.

The core loop works lovely, i loved that when i was waiting for the correct item to come out i still had things to do and balance my time with.

My only piece of feedback really would be that i played until round 7 and felt like there wasnt an increase in friction. Itd also be great to see a scoring method working along side the waves to measure performance vs progress.

Absolutely great game, you should be super proud of the achievement of making it in a jam environment!

reality-blind 2018-04-25 20:02

@joekinglake What a lovely comment you made there, thanks a lot 😊

We did not had time to better tweak the waves sadly, but we will work on a post LD version to make it a balanced and progressive game πŸ™‚

joekinglake 2018-04-25 20:05

@reality-blind i look forward to playing a post jam version if you do continue to develop it!

caleblewis 2018-04-26 00:57

This was a really cool idea and was done really well!

megamasterx 2018-04-26 02:27

I'm absolutely enamored with this game. I think you married the concepts very well. This is really cute and controls pretty well. It did sort of drag on towards the end but I think that was mostly because I wasn't doing too well. Well done!

joemid 2018-04-26 03:14

@reality-blind Thanks! Alt-enter worked so that I could play remotely, but it still looks like this- Screen Shot 2018-04-25 at 10.09.46 PM.png Tiny. Must be the remoting- maybe a dx issue? I will jump on the Win box and see all the pixels!!!

reality-blind 2018-04-26 09:20

@joemid I'm forcing GameMaker to go fullscreen on launch, I think that is the issue, and as we can see on your screenshot we don't event have the icon in the task bar.

I'm going to fix display issues today, hopefully it will solve all your problems ! πŸ™‚

#### EDIT : it's fixed now, it will launch at 5 times the original resolution (256 * 144), and you can press F to enter fullscreen πŸ™‚

leorototo 2018-04-26 10:46

it's a 5/5 here, one of the best game i've played this Ludum !

reality-blind 2018-04-26 10:58

@leorototo Thanks a lot 😊

rebecca-kremer 2018-04-26 14:18

Hey there! I saw your post that you were looking for games to play and would like to offer up my game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/on-the-fly I've been meaning to try out Last Girl On Earth for a while since the visuals are so lovely and this is a great excuse ^_^ The graphics and sound effects all gave it a very polished feel and made me genuinely care about the characters enough to push through! (Despite my bad game abilities haha) I definitely want to play more after work and see if I can beat it!

reality-blind 2018-04-26 14:20

@rebecca-kremer Thanks for passing by, I'm finishing designing a new version of our itch page and I will play your game in priority after that 😊

croewens 2018-04-26 14:21

Damn this game is most definitely a 5/5!

What I loved * Cuuuute game * The sprites and the sound effects made the whole thing fit together really nice! * Nice polish & feedback within the game

My thoughts * Please make a post jam of this game! * Wave progression could use a little more tweaking (for that post jam :wink: )

Like I said, I’d love for you to review my submission as well. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/keyboard-warrior

EDIT: BELGIAN TEAM??? LET'S COLLAB FOR NEXT 1?

those-30-ninjas 2018-04-26 14:22

Lovely art, tight game play. Great job. If you get a chance check out our entry https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/mulligun

robowarrior1982 2018-04-26 14:31

Nice and cute game ! Sound and graphics is great ! Very fun !!!!

chikoness 2018-04-26 14:33

I've been seeing your LDJam blog posts, and now I see your final game, I must say I'm not disappointed at all! Gameplay was fun! It gets easier each wave for me. It's also really funny and I like the 2 themes combined! The graphics and audio really wrapped this cute little game up well together for me! Congratulations on your polished game :)

reality-blind 2018-04-26 14:39

Thanks everyone, every one of your games are in my top priority to play list !

@croewens We will totally work on a post LD version ! Where are you from ? We live in Liège ^^

@those-30-ninjas I totally will check !

@Chikoness We always put the priority on feedbacks and simple mechanics, I'm glad to see that people actually enjoy it that way 😊

jsmars 2018-04-26 14:45

Nicely done! Very nice graphics and music and overall polish! And cool that you have an android version as well, I think it would play quite well on mobile.

croewens 2018-04-26 15:01

@reality-blind Leuven (or Louvain?). I'm flemish though :smile: my french is ok.

riordan 2018-04-26 15:47

The concept, the graphics, the sound effects and the game itself are really cute. I like the idea of sabotaging other suitors and using their gifts to satisfy your girlfriend. It's brutally fun and amusing.

About the gameplay, it plays really well. The idea of the items (the flower, balloon and the cat) all differing with each other in terms of remaining in the field was a really good move. I survived until Wave 11 and enjoyed playing it.

Overall, it's a really enjoyable game! Really great entry!

reality-blind 2018-04-26 16:12

@riordan Thanks a lot, we can't wait working on a more balanced version of it, it can have potential with more work πŸ˜„

velocity7 2018-04-26 16:19

DAMN THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

toulou 2018-04-26 16:37

Damn, how many cats does she want before she is satisfied ???

Great game overall ! I like the artstyle a lot, it's very clean and the pixelart is great. The game itself is fun, just a bit repetitive after a while. But I like the idea a lot ! Good job !

jsd 2018-04-26 16:52

Just tried your game on mobile and it run flawlessly. Really simple to play and fun! If I had yo point something out would be the "love gain" you get from picking up what your girlfriend wants, feels a bit low but anyway I made it all the way to wave 3 and I have no plans to remove the game from my cellphone :)

reality-blind 2018-04-26 17:07

@toulou Cat lovers never have enough cats !

We didn't had time to balance correctly the waves, that's my nΒ°1 priority for our post LD build (which I will build from scratch to remove all the junk code that ended up being not used)

@velocity7 Thanks for your enthusiasm 😁

@jsd Thanks a lot, I just tried your game and was about to write my review πŸ™‚ I will buff the presents for the future version !

saintheiser 2018-04-26 17:55

Laughted a lot from this game. Really fun concept. I could spent more time for this game but it getting boring on 5-th wave. Difficulty curve imbalanced - at the start of the game less enemies and items are rare. Further many enemies and items = no real threat to fail the game. I like the concept - it's proof the life, I have a lot of fun, their vocies are very humoristical. Thank you for my rising mood which already lost in the sky XD

reality-blind 2018-04-26 18:05

@saintheiser Having fun is the most important thing in our game 😁

I had no time to tweak the waves sadly (we submitted 4 minutes before the end of the extra submission hour x) ), but I now have a new script that will be included in a post LD version that will make it fair, challenging and progressive πŸ™‚

saintheiser 2018-04-26 18:14

Oh, forgot to say two things:

1) When Items overlaps player pickup the top layer item. Should player pickup needed item? Maybe?

2) Mouse cursor always lose focus when I trying pick up items close to edges... Game needs some technology to fix the cursor inside window (for desktop of course)

reality-blind 2018-04-26 18:20

@saintheiser

1) Interesting idea, I will see what I can do with it ^^ (I agree, it can be frustrating when it happens, depending on how low the love bar is)

2) You mean with two displays ? All my tests were ran on a single monitor, bad idea 😁

saintheiser 2018-04-26 18:24

No, I mean the windowed mode =) Some "truly made" games locks mouse cursor to prevent missclicks out of bounds and losing focus. Losing of focus in action games annoys a lot, you know it, right?

reality-blind 2018-04-26 18:29

@saintheiser On previous builds the game automatically launched in fullscreen, that's why nothing was coded for it. I uploaded the windowed version only today and didn't thought about that.

Thanks for pointing it out, I'm working on it

Edit : Done πŸ™‚

acoto87 2018-04-27 00:54

Very nice animations! The game is cool and entertaining. Great work!

smokesomefrogs 2018-04-30 05:08

Liked this game, worked great in my Phone :)

bigaston 2018-04-30 10:01

Very nice game! GG to the team :p

richard-n-silva 2018-05-01 18:27

Finally I've played it! Smooth animations, great feedbacks and solid gameplay. That's one of the best LD entries I've played so far. I really liked the "juiciness" of the game, like how everything has a feedback and the screenshakes.

Really nice job, congratulations!

estacaomarte 2018-05-01 19:41

Amazing! <3 I love the fact that every game in this JAM is so unique in one way or another :D Had plenty of fun playing it!

paulhocker 2018-05-10 02:59

really solid game here - mechanice are tight and it fits the theme really well - awesome!

cristiano-m-garcia 2018-05-12 21:33

Fantastic combination. Very fun and with a beautiful art. Congratulations!

I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.

I hope you continue with the project.

There are many different benefits to using a euro bride https://eurobridefinder.com/ finder. The first advantage is that it is easy to search for your future wife. You can search for women from any country. The second benefit is that you will have the convenience of meeting the woman you're interested in. Most of the European women are single because they prioritize their work and have little time for serious relationships. Over the past 30 years, they have become more successful and have more time for family and career. Hence, you will have to go through dating platforms to find your true love.
