I love the talking frog, and it's a cool looking game. Sodokus are challenging to me :)
I was a little confused and found the frog a little too quiet to understand, but the lipsync! And cute characters! Wonderful.
The frog is hilarious, and the character models add to it amazingly. I did enjoy the music, but couldn't really get anywhere playing the game: I couldn't find the factory. Frog said East, I walked left, but it reset me on the right.
First time playing I went to bed before the frog had stopped talking, and that cut him off, which was a shame.
Love the frog, music and characters! Had a difficult time finding the factory, unfortunately did the same things as @bcvery1, cutoff the frog by sleeping, then went all the way left and wrapped around without finding the factory. Finally made it to the factory but i get a nullpointer everytime i try to play sudoku until it was midnight and i was sent all the way back home. Really wanted to play sudoku!
haha the flinstones car!
Subtitles would help for people like me, since the voice over isn't that loud and english is not my maing tongue :p Congrats on the entry!
Interesting idea, but a bit frustrating that by the time I leave the apartment and get to the factory (even with a car), I only have a few seconds of real world time before it says it is time to clock out. This is very frustrating. Also, there does not seem to be a way to erase a number from the Sudoku if you type a wrong one. It can be changed, but not erased. Finally, I would prefer to see some kind of separation between each of the 3x3 blocks of the sudoku. It helps with the visuals.
Great job on the frog puppet. It was a very cute touch, but saying "east" without a compass is meaningless since I do not have a frame of reference for the directions.
It looks like this is your first ludum dare (from your profile, not the game quality), so welcome, have fun, and learn. That's what it's all about.
* The frog is awesome: "It's a studio apartement... welcom- welcome home" :D * I accidentally fell out of the apartment by walking towards the camera, not sure if that's intended or not. * "2014 Hondola Drivera with 148,000 miles" :smile: * Lots of null reference exceptions, trying to work at the factory didn't do anything =( * random city dwellers with cat / penguin heads :thumbsup: * walking is very slow :( * I love how you can just push your coworkers around :D * Low-key music is nice, never really got annoying :thumbsup:
quirky and humorous. Well done!
I really liked this! It was a little hard to get around and a little clunky at times and I failed my first day at the sudoku factory, but I actually love the idea of an Animal Crossing game where you make money doing Sudoku! I would pay for a polished version of this! Loved the frog and the voices too!
@james-dunlap haha no, I've done like 12 of these. First on the new site though! :)
The frog puppet and voice saved the game Audio 5/5.
Graphics 2.5/5 the character designs are directly from animal crossing right, so can't rate too highly, I like the design of the building.
Innovation 3/5 good concept but the execution of the idea drags it down.
Theme 3/5 same thing as the innovation very interesting idea but not a good execution.
Fun... and I hate to say it man but 1/5 I was confused most of the game fell off the map everywhere and when I finaly made it to the job I tried to do the sudoku puzzle and it said go home after 5 seconds. Went to my apartment fell off the map again then went back to work and this time it gave me 15seconds for the puzzle...
Mood is a 4/5 mostly cause of the chill background music.
humor 5/5 for the kermit for the way you drive the car. Overall 2.5/5 I would have liked more sudoku time.
Good job! I loved the Kermit frog! It's a pretty good impression. I also love the mood here, and the animation on the characters and Kermit is quite good! That aside, I do think you could make the Sudoku puzzles easier. Standard size is 9x9 or less, so 15 or so is a little large. Also, I think you could do something about the big red flashing POOR text. It's good at letting you know, but it gets distracting and annoying when it's massive and right in the middle of the screen. Good job, and good luck!
Very complex and interesting game, has a lot of glitches but fun nonetheless. Kermit is a really nice addition. There is a lot of cure/funny details, i.e. driving car like Fred Flinstone haha. Would love separation lines between clusters in sudoku (I made huge mess there too, pushed around all the employees and escaped through the front hole). Good entry and impressive work for only 48 hours. .
Really nice game. Too bad I'm horrible at sudoku ;) Thank you for making.
Very funny idea, the frog is hilarious !
There are a some that can be problematics in the progression but the graphics inspired by 'Animal Crossing' are very pleasant and the overall atmosphere is really nice.
Good job !
I had to finally learn the Sudoku rules. Thanks to you, I decided the first Sudoku in my life!
