No download link.. only source code?

yukey0 2018-08-13 17:24

Oh NO you didn't! lol, looking forward to trying this out later, sounds hilarious from the description (*≧▽≦)ノシ))

zyapimstudios 2018-08-13 17:27

xD

ajayajayaj 2018-08-13 17:30

Haha! This game is great!

The music is really good, and the artwork is great!

Did you make all the audio?

yukey0 2018-08-13 17:33

OK, I tried it out, was able to complete all 5 (i think I counted right) that was there for now this was better then what I expected, genius, an unique take on the theme, lots of fun and funny and the art was nice as well. This guy is even more of a meme now with those sun glasses and the braking of walls was priceless. Great Work (*´艸`*)

limejuice123 2018-08-13 18:21

@ajayajayaj Yes we did make the audio =) glad you enjoyed it! If you have made a game link it here and I'll play it!

ajayajayaj 2018-08-13 18:49

@limejuice123 That's awesome, awesome job! :)

Here is mine: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/cunctans-square

ghen 2018-08-13 18:53

interesting game, definitely unique take on the theme, i love how the level changing, but by bit broken up by the weight of the glorious leader lol, i also love the metal soundtrack, its great, but i also feels a bit out of place since its about korea lol, and also just a side note, that "scream" sfx after each round finish also game over, sounds like "japan" rather than "korea" but its probably just me tho, but overall love it, unique and fun to play :smile:

limejuice123 2018-08-13 18:59

@ghen cheers for the review, glad you had fun! Also the music is actually a metal reimagining of a North Korean military song which I got from a documentary. Was a lot of fun to work on!

manusaiz 2018-08-13 19:00

Ok that mood was hilarious! congrats on the weird vibe you achieved.

randdir 2018-08-13 19:06

Well it's a really fun game. Humor and mood are very good ! The music got a nice ambiance. Just don't understand exactly the aspect of what is happening on the screen but love the idea. Keep it up !

genmai 2018-08-13 19:07

Now this is quality haha. Surprisingly hard to clear but real fun idea. might suggest you could've added pinball elements to it to whack him even more all over the place. Good job :D

limejuice123 2018-08-13 19:15

@genmai Pinball is a capitalist game, which our glorious socialist revolutionary songun game bears no similarities! Jk, glad you liked it, and yeah maybe pinball elements might be something to look into!

wrexialmt 2018-08-13 19:23

I'm guessing I won once, and I lost once.... not 100% sure, but it feels good to play. Don't think it's intended to "just spam space" and win though, but the sfx and music is on point. I like the rotating world element of the game, it feels, "good to play" for lack of a better term. As i mentioned earlier, my only issue is with the ending... I'm not 100% sure whats happening.

james-dunlap 2018-08-13 19:32

A unique take on the theme, but I have to say I honestly did not enjoy it. It just wasn't my type of game. I can say that the audio fit well with what you were doing and was well done and the graphics fit well with your idea. It just wasn't my type of game.

elnu 2018-08-13 20:16

Your game is amazing! I love the graphics! You can play my game Countdown [here](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/countdown).

bigbosserndog 2018-08-13 20:16

haha, what is this game and why does it exist? XD It was a lot of fun, and was very weird.

zorongo 2018-08-13 20:21

Communist fun, my type of fun!! Great game, I would love to see some score system or similar to keep trying to make it better.

zorongo 2018-08-13 20:21

My post got published twice, so... hi, play this game :D

blinkenlights 2018-08-13 20:29

That was... unexpected? Fun idea, but fiendishly difficult for poor old me. XD

kromeboy 2018-08-13 23:18

Great mechanic: quite unique and fitting for the theme.

jeplmr 2018-08-13 23:27

The guitar riffs were rad af. Nice work on the audio!

dk5000p 2018-08-13 23:28

Not sure the blue coming out of me really made me think capitalist propaganda but besides that it was a lot of fun. Interesting controls and just a different game, which we need.

steffanie 2018-08-13 23:33

I agree, great audio track! I found the game a little... puzzling and I honestly couldn't tell when I was winning or losing. Pardon me, I'm sure it's my end!

martintristan 2018-08-14 00:14

Make North Korea Great Again! This was funny. A simple game but very polished. I like the music and sounds a lot. This could be a good clicker game. I agree that adding pinball mechanics would be great. Although I felt a little dizzy with all that screen shaking. Overall, a great and interesting take on the theme!

bekovski 2018-08-14 00:20

Funny idea that perfectly fits the theme, and the audio complements it really well! Graphics are also well done. It took me a while to figure out how to actually play the game, and even then it was more of a luck thing to pass the levels then anything else. So controls were lacking a bit in comparison to the other things, but overall great game.

g4mr 2018-08-14 00:37

Lol, this was creative. The art is pretty hilarious

wheffle 2018-08-14 02:10

Gave me a good laugh. Pretty original! I was a little confused at the puzzle mechanics though, I ended up just thrashing around a lot until it worked out. Had a good laugh though, nice entry.

frontlinesaint 2018-08-14 07:04

haha what did i just play? fun stuff

bladesides 2018-08-14 07:50

This game is a masterpiece. I managed to get a few gafs out of it. The audio quality is 10/10. Could use some better artwork.

mazzletov 2018-08-14 07:54

This game gave me a lot of chuckles haha. Let's get tinwork for the community!

mikixen 2018-08-14 07:58

Really love the audio! It was fun learning the mechanics and bouncing him around :D

zenris 2018-08-14 12:11

Very nice audio work, the art could have been better but did its job. If only weight lose was this easy in real life :)

ustance 2018-08-14 12:30

That was really cute, love the aesthetics and simple gameplay :3

mehozavr 2018-08-14 12:57

This is some fun stuff :)

samurai-ducks 2018-08-14 15:26

Solid game, catchy audio and the graphics are very nice as well! However, it's not very clear when you win or lose. Overall it's a great entry! keep up the good work!

mike-inprinciple 2018-08-14 18:04

One of the few actually funny games. Just a suggestion for the controls, say that smashing space is a valuable technique.

tulipekoni 2018-08-14 18:30

plez no he will nuke us... jk awesome game :D Would have been fun to have something different than just smashing the space button. No idea what it could be tho.. awesome soundtrack!! good job!

veilastrum 2018-08-14 18:32

This game is hilarious, haha. Couldn't get past stage 3 though. Too much weight to get rid of. It's quite fun though. The audio is pretty nice too. Good game!

frozenfire92 2018-08-14 18:38

haha wow. This game is something. The audio fit well. The gameplay was confusing and hard to do? Either way fun little jam entry!

coal-creek-game-devs 2018-08-14 18:46

Good jam game!

digitaldude555 2018-08-14 21:35

Great audio, love the font as well and kim with sunglasses is quite funny, gameplay it just seems you spam space to win I gave up around the 3rd level.

eduardo-yukio 2018-08-15 01:59

The theme combined with the music/sound fx are very fun, but the gameplay was kind of confusing at first and I got stuck pretty hard on one level, mostly because of the not so satisfying mechanic that don't let you bounce everytime you hit spacebar.

jin9310 2018-08-15 05:27

What the hell was this?! :-D Cool entry, my morning is full of laughter thanks to this :) Great job

awix 2018-08-15 07:40

A good game idea, the music should be improved. The graphics are good. Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)

thedouche 2018-08-15 08:41

Not the funniset game I have played but but it is good nice work!

zlou-kote 2018-08-15 10:32

LOL Kim stucking in textures

dark-prince-zen 2018-08-15 11:37

I have to agree it was a little bit confusing what was going on but who cares when lord and saviour Kim comes along. Nice work

drtizzle 2018-08-15 15:39

Nice game! Had to figure out what to do the first couple of rounds, and I still don't exactly know if I'm doing it right. But the bouncing felt nice, especially in combinations with the sound effects. The presentation is really slick. Also, kudos for the metal soundtrack!

Well done!

chillen 2018-08-15 17:06

This gets unexpectedly difficult! Pretty enjoyable, controls can be a bit tough to get (ended up just spamming a lot) but it definitely gets the point across. Great use of the theme in every aspect of it! Pretty solid.

paulloz 2018-08-15 17:22

I don't really understand what I just played. Well done, I guess.

mutskun 2018-08-15 17:31

i euh... euhm.... nevermind good job... (i think xD)

tetra 2018-08-15 18:24

This was a unique game in terms of style and mechanics. I liked how polished it looks from the get go. I wasn't entirely sure what to do, or how think I had to get Kim for the level to be passed. Well done on graphics, and the controls were responsive too.

gameplay at around 15:00 - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/297624571

firesplash-entertainment 2018-08-15 18:37

Just played this game in our stream. Thanks for submitting! Nice idea with some basic concept!

nightsong 2018-08-15 18:52

Firesplash is correct. Maybe the text after winning could stay on the screen for longer, hard to read it before screen goes black. :/

flower 2018-08-15 19:39

Very fun game!)

miggyg 2018-08-15 20:41

Soo fun, very funny game! I loved the metal soundtrack, amazing! The capitalist propaganda was far too much in the end, I could not make it back to the best Korea. Hilarious game great job

devio 2018-08-15 20:56

I honestly don't know how to review this. It's funny and comical constantly, feel like the game is a bit too random to be a full game, but honestly, I don't think while you were developing this, you were aiming for gameplay. Tell me if I'm wrong, but you created this to make someone's day. Its more for the humour than it to complete. Great game going back to days where people gamed to have fun, and not to complete. Congrats!

raivk 2018-08-15 21:22

Very funny game ! Not fond of the visuals and didn't really knew how to "properly" play (that is to say, try to win !). The theme however is really silly and fun, and makes this entry cool to play haha ! Nice humor ;)

axkarth 2018-08-15 21:33

This game is amazing but I ragequit back to capitalist America. (ToT)

max-carter 2018-08-15 22:02

Good fun and great audio as always. Shame I couldn't join you for this one, but hopefully if you continue it I can help you with some visuals and stuff. Good work!

superqgs 2018-08-15 22:21

What lol

amba 2018-08-15 23:15

Fun little game, very enjoyable! Sounds effects are great and the humor is well on point. Solid overall.

jlv 2018-08-16 01:12

Hilarious game, what a take on the theme !

Pros : - Great mechanic and idea - The music is top-notch - Serviceable graphics make for readable action

Cons : - Controls start off being a little wonky (although it gets beeter once we're used to them) - A clear (numbered) indicator of when we're thin enough would help

Great job !

wrenpirate 2018-08-16 03:39

The music is brilliant. The premise is bizarre, which is what attracted me to this game. Quibble: the triumph screen goes away a little too quickly.

jsd 2018-08-16 07:26

Took me a bit to get used to the controls but it was a fun game after all xD Loved the korean background sounds and effect xP Good job!

arron-fowler 2018-08-16 07:53

The music is ace and it made me smile. I found the gameplay a bit confusing and would have appreciated a menu button so I could have gone back to check the instructions. I refreshed twice to double check the rules. over all great job.

mza 2018-08-16 11:34

I like the fact that you dont need to know anything to play this game. By looking at it I figured the controls out. The intro is hillarious and the gameplay is juicy. How many levels are there?

karmafarm 2018-08-16 11:34

I really liked the style, gfx, sfx and the general wackiness and irreverence. Couldn't figure out how to actually beat it or what the win condition was though! Anyway- fun concept and enjoyed messing with it.=)

tomg 2018-08-16 12:04

Excellent humour and music. Gets hard fast!!

devwithmartinus 2018-08-16 12:48

BEST ... GAME ... EVER .

nam-nguyen 2018-08-16 15:04

Haha the music and the reference to South Korea is hilarious, watch out for if Kim sees your game haha. I can only get to level 2 but it was very fun to play, and I love that the walls break as well. I think the blue thingy is out of place, maybe you can change the color or do something with it to make it feel more belonging :D Otherwise great entry!

keyurrana 2018-08-16 15:51

Hilarious game. Awesome music. Good take on the theme. Took me a few tries to get the hang of the controls, was pretty fun after that. Great job!

binaryspark 2018-08-16 17:24

Awesome interpretation of the theme. Not too sure how the game works tho, lol, or I guess what the win condition is. Great work!

tuteupaituamae 2018-08-16 18:04

nice game bro

ratherjolly 2018-08-16 18:11

hah Interesting... Very interesting.

eric-smith 2018-08-16 18:26

hahah loved it! I was constantly stabbing the space bar and rarely rotating the room and was able to lead the beloved leader back to his benevolent self. Good job! :clap:

shakedimus 2018-08-16 18:26

I like almost everything about this game, the sound, the rotating stage, the theme and I think the mechanic is fun but in the end I miss some skill or tactic needed to win the game.

cercle 2018-08-16 18:57

I thought I was gonna break my space bar!

reax 2018-08-16 19:39

Fantastic game. I like the story. :D

lndrstrll 2018-08-16 20:04

Nice game! :shallow_pan_of_food: Really funny story.

oddeyed 2018-08-16 20:26

I couldn't get past level 4, but I really like the idea of the level shrinking and you having to shrink with it. It's a cool take on the theme! I like the sunglasses on the title screen a LOT!

dasun 2018-08-16 20:40

Really weird game, the music is good though :D

thunderawesome 2018-08-16 20:52

Quick-paced game. Was tricky trying to avoid capitalism!

fluffy-kaeloky 2018-08-16 20:57

I got a bit confused at first, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly in the end. I find it a bit easy to spam space to get thinner without using the rotation system, that's a bit underused in my opinion. The camera shake was also a bit too strong for me.

Other than that, the game is fun and well executed ! The audio and humor are also top ! Great job !

Oh, and of course ... glory to best country !

drskort 2018-08-16 21:00

Good idea, but I couldn't escape those capitalism walls on stage 4.

grahhhhhhhhh 2018-08-17 01:11

I figured out the same trick as @fluffy-kaeloky, spamming the space bar. Humor was spot on, kept me chuckling, I love submissions like this, nice!

seizethedia 2018-08-17 01:40

Funny tone all throughout, from the background colors to the font, to the music, and the insane premise. It reminds me of some great classic flash games.

kinghamster 2018-08-17 05:15

Great visuals and especially the music! I really enjoy the absurdity of the setting. Couldn't make it past the 2nd stage as Kim kept getting stuck but I'll have another crack at it again.

somuch 2018-08-17 08:16

So not only did you make something hilariously fun but the game also really captures the essence of how hard it is to stick to diet plans and how any gains can be lost just by a few moments of negligence. Truly wonderful ;)

anubhav-kashyap 2018-08-17 12:33

I absolutely love Kim Jong-un related games and this was no exception! (Though I hope you don't get executed by the supreme leader for making this.)

ihateyouse 2018-08-17 15:47

Interesting idea and title page graphics were good. I thought the concept was a unique one, but I didn't think the graphics carried over from what I saw on the title screen. Would have been nice to see it carry through a bit more and maybe make the gameplay a bit more humorous. Unique idea though.

m-dam 2018-08-17 17:27

I can't say that I understood the game but it's certainly intersting

dateightbit 2018-08-18 00:44

Very interesting game! I like it!

aug 2018-08-18 00:46

The tone of the game was great throughout. The art and music were nice, and your take on the theme was also fun, but the gameplay seemed a bit repetitive and tedious at times, with not much indicator or reward for your actions. I think with a bit more polish, this game could be awesome!

very-dark-lord 2018-08-18 07:53

I don't know how to feel! This is absolutely the funny kind of weird. Hilarious premise, and quite polished overall. I just wish there was a bit more to the gameplay.. :) Well done though!

raziyya 2018-08-18 09:29

Very funny game! Felt like i was just spamming the spacebar though, not much skill involved. Great music though!

corbak 2018-08-18 12:19

The game idea is original and well unique if I must say? :) the gameplay felt simple but effective. The graphics are simple but I didn't see any incoherence. Nor any bug. Not sure if the blue things are part of the gameplay because I didn't understand very much how I won. But you made somehting polished and finished for this jam and therefor that is great. Well done on your entry.

shell-pirate 2018-08-18 18:25

You had the audio-visual aesthetic pretty much down for a Jam game (I especially liked the propaganda font and voice sound effects). The gameplay was alright, but I feel this would have worked better as a pinball game or something a bit more dynamic becuase I ended up beating most of the levels by just slamming myself against a single wall repeatedly. Some more unpredictable and wild bouncing around would have made it more fun and challenging. Still good work on the token political entry of the Jam!

ethan-kennerly 2018-08-18 21:08

When I repeated smashed Kim in a narrow corridor to purge blue dots, I felt efficient. If you continue to develop this, for a while, I didn't recognize when Kim was thin enough to exit. I also wasn't sure if the forks were something I should be dodging.

nalah 2018-08-20 14:07

Hahahahahahahaha. Hahahahahahahaha. Haha? Lol? Haha. Well done. Kek

joloujed 2018-08-21 11:27

I didnt understant anything, I dont know if I win or I losed. I guess I losed.

lexyvil 2018-08-22 05:30

The concept alone is hilarious, haha. The levels getting smaller fits the theme as well, and I can't find any flaw with the audio~

jakier 2018-08-24 12:13

Gameplay is a bit bare but everything else is real good. Great concept!

randomphantom 2018-08-24 13:04

Not sure how to play this, but it looks real funny!

Nice audio clips

thibaultar 2018-08-24 15:56

Nice audio, incredible humour ahah !

I like this game, the mechanic is unique and fits the theme!

Great work !! :)

bbaf 2018-08-28 18:57

Lol, funny game

roman-petrov 2018-08-29 12:08

Funny game, but I couldn't win. Maybe I didn't understand something. Or is it that difficult right from the beginning? Anyway, good job and thanks for the humour :)

coomzy 2018-08-30 20:45

Nice little game, the audio was good but I think transition wise it could be a little better, like for example the title music could fade out rather than just stopping, I know it's a game jam though and time :)

zinski 2018-08-31 08:29

Really a great concept! The humor is great and the atmosphere so immersive! The gameplay is well thought out but I think some additional visual feedbacks would make the experience even better! Great job! :)

By the way please feel free to leave us some feedbacks on our game!

2018-09-03 13:10

Funny concept! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 42 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/CqHeG7NJrrQ

andrei9 2018-09-03 13:17

I liked the Graphics, and the Gameplay was fun, Nice Game. :thumbsup:

mrjoshuamclean 2018-09-04 13:32

This is ridiculous. :P

The gameplay itself is a bit experimental, not quite sure how to get "good" at it, but a fun experience anyway. Here's a video of my play and feedback: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/303342354

hellsquirrel 2018-09-04 13:53

cool!

nervous-composers 2018-09-04 17:12

A very unique game, I got stuck at one of the later levels though. I feel the jumping could use some work, but the audio, visuals, and mood were awesome!
