Complete rip-off of Ludum Dare 28 Last Chance Supermarket: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuccZLD_92g
Does the game go on indefinitely, if I do not fill my cart? Also, it seemed random how many an item would represent when I hit it. Overall, though the gameplay was nice, the graphics told me these were grocery items and I was pushing a cart. The speed was even fast in easy.
The game is well implemented and is enjoyable, but it doesn't feel that it fits the theme very well. The idea that you run out of space on your shopping cart is there but is not an important part of the gameplay. What I mean by that is that you have to concentrate on picking up items and don't even have to look at how much stuff is in your cart.
First off, congrats for finishing an entry! Nice little game, not too hard. I for one wish the cart would be a bit lower so you have a bit more time to see what you're running towards. Also the item count seems to vary, but I couldn't grasp on what it depends. Is the item image size an indication?
@dk5000p The game will end if you collect all the items in the 3 slots or if you fill the cart if you didn't do either then it would go on indefinitely.
@mertios Yes I would say its similar but not a complete rip-off but that's just my opinion I haven't seen or played that game before I was not intending to copy someone else.
@dk5000p @endurion All items collected are worth 1 item. I realize what you both are saying about not being sure how many items are being collected collected. I guess I should have gone with single items per texture. Live and learn.
@roberth332 My apologies for jumping to conclusions. That YouTube video is relatively high on Google and YouTube's search results for Ludum Dare. With that being said, your game is well done and there are no glitches to be found.
@mertios It's all good. It probably wouldn't hurt to do more research into other games before making one. Just don't have a lot of time. Thanks for your review and feedback.
@roberth332 No problem! Good luck with future jams and project, and don't forget to check if your idea is original! Great minds think alike!
@mertios Thanks. Good luck as well.
@xyntell Thanks for your feedback. I understand exactly what you are saying.
It's a great start. The 2nd time I played it, I didn't realize that the required items changed, d'oh. I think there should be a character pushing the cart, and maybe the child is grabbing everything he get close to.
I liked the game. The theme fits well. It would be cool if the background were the sounds of a supermarket.
@serious07 @gary-beebe Thanks for playing and for the suggestions.
Great game. Initially I thought it was difficult, but after some tries I found strategies to won. Well ballanced.
@lastleaf Thanks I appreciate it.
Congrats on the game! It's seems complete and bug free. Super simple yet strangely addicting. I found it a little hard to see how many items I had below while looking above at the items ahead. Maybe the item can change colour when it is completed so I would notice it without having to see the number. Also, when I pick up an incorrect item, I still get a rewarding sound. That might make me want to avoid wrong items. The game is pretty easy if you take your time. Maybe a timer would make it challenging. These are just small things. Otherwise, great game!
Good job! Looks easy, but was actually pretty challenging to me. I agree with the Anonymous comment though. It's kind of hard to look at the UI while you're playing the game. Maybe you could have some text pop-up when you pick up an item telling you "Wrong item" or "3 left" or something. :)
Well done! The game ran super smooth, the controls were really nice. At first, it seems quite easy but once you actually got started it got quite hard. Realy well done!
Decently challenging little game, well done! You should be proud of the work you put in to it. Enjoyed the distinguishable, yet difficult to rapidly remember food items! Had fun playing.
Exciting idea! Filling a cart with items. But the exact amount! Cool idea i like it. It's pretty difficult to collect the right items.
@c0nst4ntin @cercle @swini Thank you all for your feedback I really appreciate it.
So, sometimes when I picked up items I got multiples at the same time, but not always. I think there's a bug in your collision code somewhere that's triggering multiple times for the same item. For example, I picked up a pile of rocks (which is what they look like to me) as the first item, and suddenly I had three. This occasionally lost me the game because I would have too many things in my cart trying to pick up just one of them to finish out a quota. Anyway, I think this was a fun little game that had an interesting take on the theme that feels all too familiar from when I go shopping myself :)
@incobalt Thanks for your feedback. I will look into fixing the bug the bug.
solid fiorst time entry, good job! Needed to work more with the theme but congrats on on completing your first LD :D
Novel idea and a nice prototype. You could upgrade this with nicer graphics and sounds and release it to the world :)
Nice game, Love how everything is balanced! Good luck, Don't forget to take a look at ours if you don't mind and see what it's like when we just focused on graphics in this game jam! Game Link: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/spacelab-42a
Hey, I am running into some problems with the HTML5 version - it freezes? I was excited to collect more shopping =)
@imphenzia Thanks for letting me know I am looking into what the problem is.
