Looks awesome!:)

jeplmr 2018-08-13 23:43

The character designs and audio are incredibly well done! Very nice work!

lukewaffel 2018-08-13 23:53

Very fun and challenging game with great graphics. Would've loved to see a slightly faster attack, but that would probably throw off the balance.

bhavesh-tiwari 2018-08-13 23:59

1)amazing game graphics looks so good. 2)love the idea of man trowing everyting in disk and you need to fight(nicely implemented ) 3) Background sound's are little annoying(but i like the mood)

perfact game i enjoyed alot while playing ;)

beanslasher 2018-08-14 03:50

It was very cool with the graphics. Props to the 3D modeler, very good job. I had a blast my best is 250 and some change haha! Great game team, hope to see you in the next jam!

crazi456 2018-08-14 03:58

Wowww! Loved this, great graphics and great audio! Clever use of theme. Just great overall!

cepeka 2018-08-14 04:02

Nicely done, some more moves would have been interesting tho.

bredera 2018-08-14 11:44

Good looking game with some good gameplay!

pierre-avinain 2018-08-14 13:49

May be too long to GameOver, but really cool game and graphics ! :P

rammy294 2018-08-14 13:50

Game looks great, the animations are fun, the music is nice overall a great entry however I didn't know if I was meant to fight them all or let the pink and green ones in just seemed there was nothing really explaining what their was to do.

eryph 2018-08-14 13:51

Well finished, the guy behind the screen was really creepy...

edgelord 2018-08-14 13:52

OMG! Probably the **best game** I've played so far from Ludum Dare! Very nice Game with amazing simple yet beautiful graphics, but I think that the attack speed should be slightly faster

scott-steffes 2018-08-14 13:53

I really liked the character design and i thought the dude laughing manically in the back was hilarious. I think the base idea for the game play was good but I would have enjoyed it more with more variation in the combat and types of the files you have to break. The power ups are good example of some nice variation so applying that to the enemies as well would create a less consistent pace which i think would be more fun. Anyway great job :)

andreadbx 2018-08-14 13:54

The main character is incredibly cute and well designed, gameplay-wise i think would have been better with some sorts of move that combine attack and move, like this feels a bit static with the possibility to hit only standing still, overall nice entry, sounds effects are really satisfying :D

saering 2018-08-14 13:57

Feels really polished! Simple but smart use of theme, cool graphics, cool sounds! Doesn't really know why there is a creepy guy in the background but it's not a game issue so... whatever ! Good job :)

myalias 2018-08-14 13:57

nice graphics and simple gameplay. "Cloud space"on the mid-air haha. WinZip to save spaces haha. Great work!

kyona-luya 2018-08-14 13:58

The graphics were really well done. I would have liked to be able to do more with the files. Great little game!

zenris 2018-08-14 13:59

Very nice. Realy liked the art and animations. Nice touch to have the evil computer user in the background.

notime4name 2018-08-14 14:08

wow, im astonished by the characters design and quality of his graphics. also i really enjoyed the idea of the game, where youre the hard drive yourself. also i like the soundtrack, which is, if slightly repetitive, very fitting and nicely done, overall, very good job, one of the best ones ive played so far!

thomas-lessa 2018-08-14 14:09

Pretty cool game! The 3d and animations are on point. The mechanics is a little bit simple, but with the cloud element stuff got better. Oh, and you can slide the bar that shows the disk space. Overall pretty good <3

good-guy-nils 2018-08-14 14:10

Clearly a strong entry the character remind me of Clippy I really enjoyed it the animation are really good and the game itself is good. Well Done

tuism 2018-08-14 14:12

It's REALLY pretty! The combat feels solid and good, movement, punching, comboing, all that looks good. - But there's a really small range of things that you can do. Which is a problem for a game of this nature. (I understand of course that it's a jam game and has jam time constraints) - It was not clear from the outset what you're supposed to do. I thought you were supposed to push the files into the folders. I did that for a while. - There's a distinct lack of feedback from the files getting to the folders. They kinda just stand there doing nothing. I wasn't sure what they were doing. If there's a timer till when they "assimilate" or whatever that should be apparent. - Because of that there's little urgency in the gameplay, it kinda just dragged out a lot.

davihayato 2018-08-14 14:17

Very nice game! I want more levels for this <3 good job

chroma 2018-08-14 14:19

The guy in the screen looked he was having way too much fun lol! Lovely game and nice WinZip power-up

inworks 2018-08-14 14:25

Nice grhapics and good gameplay. The charachter design is amazing and good work on the animations.

corbak 2018-08-14 14:59

Really nice little game. The animation are well done, the graphics too. I don't see what is the purpose of the game as I smashed into icons and see my hard drive keep growing. Don't understand the goal game.

hare-software 2018-08-14 15:00

Amazing animation, even more impressive considering it only took you a weekend. Great job!

manusaiz 2018-08-14 15:52

Nice game! I love the way the guy laugh! jeje! I like the main character and also de music. For a moment, I felt like I was in "Inside Out" xD

antoined73 2018-08-14 16:15

Super nice game ! Graphics are awesome, the sounds are nice too :) The main problem in my opinion is that ennemies have too much life, you should be able to destroy them in one attack i think :)

azura 2018-08-15 04:28

Charming fun little game. It feels a little aimless but the presentation is solid. Love the art because it reminds me of the paperclip from Microsoft Word, haha!

dk5000p 2018-08-15 04:31

Loved the artwork and attacks. The antagonist was creepy. Initially I thought since space was attack, that I only had a certain number of attacks and initially was not sure what I was trying to do but it easily became clear.

jaydek 2018-08-15 04:31

I wasn't exactly clear on what I should have been doing... Do I get the into the folders? If I had to guess, the aim would be to hit the files to death and not put them in the folders? Would be nice to have some kind of feedback when a file gets put into storage, and how that is actually happening so that the player can be clear on it, and have a better shot at preventing it it.

I also think the enemy animation on the being hit could be more obvious that its's having an effect rather that their eyes(?) getting smaller.

The guy at the screen is terrifying though, haha. I think that was my favourite part! Overall it feels fair polished, and the graphics work well for the game. A little confusing, but otherwise, nice work!

michael-oliveira 2018-08-15 04:57

Certainly the best game that i've played at this Jam... Congrats!

rodrigo-denubila 2018-08-15 06:11

I really loved this game. For some reason the Cluster remind me the old Word assistant, Clippy. The graphics are really nice and it's really fun to play. Good job!

jsd 2018-08-15 06:21

Awesome game! Art is great and gameplay is simple yet addicting. The guy in the back was hilarious but I didn't really understood what the cloud thing did except show 3 more clouds xP Great job!

zariel 2018-08-15 06:59

Very cool, good animation of the movements in 3D ... if given to go up on the screen, could become the Beat 'em up cool

2018-08-15 07:45

This was quite fun to play. A well-polished entry, especially the animations! The antagonist looks so creepy, almost like a torturer/evil scientist. I felt bad for the hard drive.

dark-prince-zen 2018-08-15 11:16

It's a cool little game but I think some more variety with the enemies and pickups would have made it stand out a bit more. Well done though. Nicely polished game.

monkeydom 2018-08-15 12:51

Great concept and art! The fighting could feel a little bit more fluid and castle crasher style^^.

2018-08-16 01:30

That dude in the back might be the single creepiest thing I have ever seen in my life. Honestly though, added to the experience. Great game!

mccarlp 2018-08-16 01:51

I absolutely loved it! I teach game development and I had to bookmark this one to show my students. A+ in every category!

novodantis 2018-08-16 01:59

Really well polished and an amusing concept!

fivenamefivesocks 2018-08-16 07:21

nice game ! art is really good, and the face behind laughing is a really fun idea.

shivart 2018-08-16 15:47

Cool game! Not enough dangerous enemies.

namnam 2018-08-16 23:42

The gameplay is maybe to simple and repetitive but the art is awesome and i usually don't like so much 3D. It give all the fun of the game to see the animation and the f***ing creepy face of the dude behind the screen.

darkphnx 2018-08-17 03:16

Fantastic work with the art and animations in this game! The audio did get a bit too repetitive for my taste, but aside from that this felt very polished for a game jam. Well done!

gus-the-shark 2018-08-17 03:19

Really superb graphics and a very funny creative premise, I like it! I wish there were objectives and other levels, the gameplay gets repetitive after a few minutes, but still an amazing submission. Good job!

tj101010 2018-08-17 04:02

Wow, that guy is pretty creepy! I was really impressed with the art and audio in general. The gameplay lacked a little in comparison, and may have benefited from some more abilities.

rayne 2018-08-17 07:10

Oh my God, this was so good. The animation of the character feels so fluid and good. Congratulations!

jima 2018-08-17 07:49

That is the most graphically polished game I've seen in ludum dare! Those character design, animation, logo and creepy dude in the background are awesome, just jaw dropping visual quality. The music is really cool too.

But the gameplay is a bit confusing. My first thought was that I lose space when files touch my character (he is a hard drive after all). So my first instinct was to punch files away from me. I punched some files inside folder and they happen to dissappear just as they were inside, so I thought that the goal was to place files inside folders.

After reading description one more time I've found a sentence where it is stated that I have to defend folders, but it would be much more clear if you have this fact in picture tutorial form, since you have all other information in pictures. They attracted my attention and I completelly missed text about folders.

Really cool entry overall, exceptional job!

king-kujito 2018-08-17 11:02

Well done.

team-infernus 2018-08-17 22:09

Art/animation were great, and I really liked the audio. But sometimes the controls felt a bit sluggish, especially when I tried to jump, and I think the mechanics may have been a bit over simple, but it was a fun game!

jcwelgemoed 2018-08-18 08:50

Scored 204. Cute graphics. Like the fighting animations on the hard disk.

mammabouter 2018-08-18 09:21

Well done. fun to play.

ryanjs 2018-08-18 15:26

nice game! the guy at the background was kinda creepy tho. otherwise, everything seemed pretty smooth. one of the polish games of Ludum Dare! gj!

velvetlobster 2018-08-18 17:12

Amazingly beautiful! Kinda hard too. Its so beautiful it makes you want to keep punching.

vulture-42 2018-08-19 14:27

This is a fun game and I love the creepy laughing guy in the background. I was confused at first about the folders and thought I was meant to tidy the files into them, but I realised what was going on eventually. The only other comment I have is that the sound didn't quite match up when it looped, but as you've opted out of audio, I imagine that was already like it :smiley:.

kaipi 2018-08-19 19:33

loved it!, really nice work with the design! animations looked great!

glock00 2018-08-20 08:01

Very polished looks, the font fits perfectly. Also small details like the character's shadow are great. The left-right-kick combo is very fun! But as others mentioned here, it makes the game a bit static and the controls fall a bit behind the overall presentation. Good job!

deathray 2018-08-22 03:20

Beautiful graphics, and a very good use of the theme. I only wish my attacks have a little more weight behind them, and the enemies seemed impacted (beyond their cute faces) so I could tell I was making progress hurting them.

jin9310 2018-08-22 18:02

Overall this is very nice and solid entry. Unfortunately after a while it gets repetitive and nothing really pushes me to try to get more points, but the animations are amazing and really lovely! It is very well handled and all works as it should (at least from my point of view :)) Great Job!

monkosum 2018-08-22 19:16

i like the idea of the gameplay! the only thing to improve the game would be a harder difficulty, since every run takes too long. there don't need to be gimmicks to each difficulty, just let a few more enemies spawn, let those enter the folders faster, and let the player recieve more points. but besides the difficulty, this game is really good!

wrenpirate 2018-08-22 20:46

Yes to all the votes for graphics and animation! This is a very polished looking game. Was there something special to do with the cloud files and the zip files? I just punched everything. I would like a big response when a file gets lost in a folder-- maybe the folder gets bigger-- but I think it's unfair to expect everything in 72 hours. This game is already more than most teams achieved. Congratulations!

conk 2018-08-27 13:26

A little repetitive but overall an incredibly well polished game! The art and animation are incredible and that dude on the other side of the screen is perfectly creepy.

Overall great job, well done :thumbsup:

zicboy 2018-08-31 15:02

Awesome game! loved the energy and mood of this entry!

danielblanco3d 2018-08-31 18:42

Very cute hard drive character design and nice character animation, also nice enviroment design. Good job!

ratherjolly 2018-09-01 03:11

YESSS! I freaking love the background stage of your level.It gave my quite the chuckle. Great job on this xD

acronaut 2018-09-03 23:28

I like the Character design of the HardDrive and its Files.. :ok_hand:

The User in the Background reminds me of Medic from Team Fortress 2. :thumbsup:

Optional Suggestions: - Have option to either show score metric during gameplay or points for each hit or file nullification.. - Button to 'appraise' selected files (show its stats: File Size, Health, etc..)
