Lost Somewhere

I don't know if the games loading screen takes ususlly that long or if it was just with me, but i think that maybe a meter showing that the game is actually loading would be a nice thing to put in, since one could think that the page is broken or that it won't work overall. the art style is really nice, i really liked it. the lack of sound effects was a little thing that could make the game experience overall better, BGM or a shutter sound for the camera. there are some little gnomes (lol) that are z glitching into one another. also i dont know if you guys meant to have that blank space and the crowd moving the way it did, but maybe working with a more organic shape for the crowd would take out the illusion that it's actually missing people. but great job! keep up the good work!

I think there was something wrong with the other commenter, game loaded normally for me. I like drawing style. not really connected to the theme but I like the idea. I couldn't find the fourth one and the first three was too easy. Ambient sound would be nice

The game also took a some time to load and I too thought there was some error. The first comment made me wait a bit more until the game loaded. I liked your game! The concept is pretty cool and last one took me a long time to find haha Good job to everyone!

This is exactly what a LD game should be. A cool and fun concept that really shines when properly implemented. I spent way too long looking for the 4th person, but after about 15 minutes of scanning inch by inch, I finally found them. The zoom mechanic is really solid and gives the game a large sense of scale. I'd like to see this extrapolated into a larger game! My only complaint is that I didn't hear any audio, but the game lets me rate the audio. Not sure if there was a bug or if I missed something. Fantastic game!

Cute characters!

@chaos huge thanks for detailed, great feedback! we tried to make the placing look and feel organic actually by calculating statistical spreading with some "math-o-magic" and it doesn't let us know the exact progress so we just left with loading at the time. we totally agree on audio feedback and actually we were planning adding shutter, zoom effects and bg music but, we couldn't work on it after 48 hours due to local space restrictions and just forgot to put them in the hurry, we didn't even switch off audio rating of the game :) thanks again for your kind words and feedback!

@finnthepirate thanks for feedback and confirming that loading screen of game has no problems! the fourth one is the hardest character to find but I assure that there is no bug, just need to look carefully on the map when zoomed out :)

@ryuu haha, thanks for the kind words and glad that you enjoyed! last one was cutest by far but also a tad evil in terms of finding it around :)

@t-bo we were definitely aiming for where's the waldo! thanks for playing and kind words, we are glad that you have enjoyed!

@ropedog thanks for the cool and detailed feedback :) you made our day because we totally agree on that even the smallest thing shines with proper execution and implementation and we had developed the game at this scope from the start to focus on that. we are thinking about a bigger commercial release of this game maybe with something like Hidden Folks, but currently I don't know actually :) on the audio rating, I mentioned above also that we were in a hurry for 48 hours due to local space restrictions and I just submitted game with the mind like we had implemented audio that we have planned also :) thanks again for your cool comment and we are very glad that you have enjoyed!

@pestodesign thanks for playing and kind words, we are very glad that you liked our cuties! :)

Cool game! A typical Ludum Dare game; short and quirky, and that's how I like them. I really like the art style, really cute. Too bad there is no audio or (basic) animation, that would tie it all together. Well done!

Nice game =)

ekin 2019-10-13 09:46

in love with graphics and gameplay! Great idea, basic but a lovely game. Good job! :)

Lovely graphics and it got my interest spot on ... when I started playing the charisma of the characters is very noticeable and the colors wisely picked ... missed some soundtrack and sound effects to make the camera a bit more dynamic I got all folks, but these were my favorite ones

@drtizzle thanks for kind words, "short and quirky" is also our favourite recipe for a jam game, glad to see that :) missing audio saddens me also when it's forgotten in the rush of 48 hour local site deadline.

@ludo thanks! we are glad that you liked! :D

@ekin we couldn't agree more! :) thanks for playing and honest feedback :)

@velvetlobster well... I think screenshot can be spoiler for some... JOKING, of course! :D thanks for playing and even sharing the screenshot to express your favourites! we are also deeply sad about missing audio! we are very glad that you liked the game overall and expressed in such a cool way!

A super simple and fun little game. I would liked some music and sound effects, but this is overall a fine jam game.

gamejuv 2019-10-15 10:44

As the others already have said; it is a cute and cool little game but some music and sound effects would underline the gameplay a bit more. But in general it is a nice game!

spacemonkey 2019-10-15 12:05

Very cute art! I like how simple the concept is. I don't play hidden objects game and this was an interesting experience. A lot of sound people are looking for teams so don't hesitate to get in contact with someone for music next time :) It would add to the already nice mood. Well done!

nurkkacthulhu 2019-10-15 12:20

Nice and simple idea. Art was super cute! Needs only a cool ambient soundtrack and some WOOSHing when you zoom lol
