The graphics look cool and the flat shaded look really suites the overall vibe of the game.

zalop 2020-04-20 16:25

I love the overall game! The graphics were probably my favorite part, the low poly looks really nice and makes it stand out. Overall good game, very interesting

bereg 2020-04-20 16:41

Great game! It's polished and fun to play. The graphics is cool, the controls are smooth. Wonderfull job!

This is a really nice looking game. The sounds are great. The intro is funny. I found it really difficult to survive until the first upgrade though. I seem to keep visiting a place named "loserville".

Well done.

antonis-koutsouradis 2020-04-20 17:52

Had alot of fun. Astonishing what someone can create on his own.

astrolabe 2020-04-20 19:37

Why does the download link brings me to a page... in russian ? Is this a scam ?

fersyvanderzee 2020-04-20 19:46

Really cool game! Loved that there is a shop built in. Loved the graphics as well!

steambrain 2020-04-20 19:47

Download link gets me to strange site which asks for money. =(

jsec 2020-04-20 19:49

Art style is superb, game is fun.

herzig 2020-04-20 19:50

The link leads me to some kind of paywall page in czech? Or maybe this IS the game? :)

samsdevlog 2020-04-20 19:55

Game looks like a lot of fun, I would recommend reuploading to Itch.IO. You seem to have hit your limit for downloads on the current site.

lestat 2020-04-20 20:37

Can't really vote it right now, the link is not working (like others has said, it asks for money). Publish it on itch.io ;)

maxestla 2020-04-21 09:44

Can't access the game :c

sanicspeedgames 2020-04-21 09:58

cant play the game

astrolabe 2020-04-21 09:59

Thanks for re uploading your game, be sure I'll test it soon :D

ladislavodstrcil 2020-04-21 10:02

@maxestla @sanicspeedgames did you try to download from the itch.io? :) https://room205.itch.io/starmart

noeloskar 2020-04-21 10:07

itch.io page doesn't exist... can't play it sadly

almalexxia 2020-04-21 10:12

I really like the assets. Couldn't believe they have been made in 2 days. Good work!

ladislavodstrcil 2020-04-21 10:23

@noeloskar did you try this one? https://room205.itch.io/starmart

ben-taylor 2020-04-21 11:04

Hey, any chance you could upload a WebGL version? This looks cool but I'm on Mac!

ladislavodstrcil 2020-04-21 11:49

@ben-taylor i'm so sorry... UE4 installed on Windows can package only for windows and linux... i will have to create virtual mac on my pc but i have only 9GB of free space on disk so i think it's not good idea :( ... but good point i will have to manage it in the future

deinvented 2020-04-21 12:33

Hey, itch.io link doesn't work. Have you published your game? You can do that by going to Edit Game, then at the bottom of the page you have access options (Draft, Restricted, Public), choose Public and you're up :)

nodlehs 2020-04-21 14:09

Updated link doesn't work

ladislavodstrcil 2020-04-21 15:43

@deinvented maaan you saved me... jesus, i can code the game but don't know how to publish it, so ashamed ... @nodlehs it's should work now... pleas write me how the download works now

duke 2020-04-21 15:55

Found your correct download link now!

The game looks amazing and the gameplay seems fresh and innovative. Kudos for this compo! The only problem I had was getting enough energy from the people-to-battery-machines. They barely charged me up at all. I guess that I missed something or did something wrong, but it's not clear gameplay wise, what the problem is. Also, the kid seems to mind his own business and it's a hassle to go and find him when his battery runs out :D

By the way: Should take the old download link offline. A lot of people might still use it and will not play your game if they do not read your description carefully.

baptiste-barreyre 2020-04-21 16:17

The nez update on itchio works perfectly great game

metju 2020-04-21 16:21

I can't believe you made this in a weekend, the visuals are my favorite part, great job!

algebro 2020-04-21 16:40

One of the best I've ever played at the Ludum. I loved the game experience, the atmosphere, including the models and sounds. If I had to put a pin in it, it would be that the child's behavior was a little strange to me, but it doesn't really matter; great game, congratulations.

ladislavodstrcil 2020-04-21 16:46

@duke i had only 30 minutes for testing, as many of us :D... you are absolutely right, the batteries add very low value of energy... it's very hard to find balance between too hard and too easy...

big thanks for HONESTY feedback - i need more of that kind of players :)

samsdevlog 2020-04-21 17:50

Really neat game. The amount of content you crammed in here is straight up impressive. Love the art, and the gameplay is reasonably fun. I'd definitely say you have something great here.

deinvented 2020-04-21 17:53

@ladislavodstrcil no problem man, glad I could help :) This is amazing work for Compo, I really had fun trying to feed little speedy bugger. As for feedback, you might need some sort of tutorial, or any explanation of how game loop works. Also there are some balance issues, as it's most lucrative to just run between two processing stations. Once again, great job :)

nosfer 2020-04-22 14:59

nice graphics and overall complication of game mechanics. After some time I discovered I can upgrade my guy but I think my battery just corrupted over time and didn't charge so well :)

goutye 2020-04-22 17:12

Interesting gameplay, I was able to keep the little dude alive during my whole playthrough! Loved your voice, and the graphics wow. For a 48h compo entry, you did an excellent job. :smile: Well done!

joamd 2020-04-22 17:58

Awesome game!!!! :muscle: Nice art and sounds especially

nodlehs 2020-04-22 20:36

That was fun, thanks for fixing the link. It was really hard to judge and almost looked like my main power cap fluctuated the more energy I fed it? Other than that was great for the time you had to get it done. The visuals were very nice.

sam-awk 2020-04-23 00:53

Loved the submission! I like seeing unique ideas like this for game jams, and this was a good one! :thumbsup:

ion-programming 2020-04-23 02:37

Those bright graphics really pop! Who knew converting humans into power cells could be so rewarding.

ondrasej 2020-04-25 08:39

Interesting idea, and completed and functional game. The graphics is simple, but it works well and it is consistent. Same for the sound.

As for the gameplay - this might be just my thing, but I didn't feel very motivated to play beyond testing the game initially. Having some kinds of quests and things to discover and play would help a lot.

Another thing that would help is more visual/gamplay-based feedback on the state of the kiddo. It happened to me a couple of times that I died because I was chasing humans, while the kiddo was silently starving somewhere off the screen. Making the screen flash - or even better, making the kiddo flash (and always keep it on-screen) would go a long way in making this more apparent.

ladislavodstrcil 2020-04-25 09:35

@ondrasej thanks feedback and you are absolutely right, game is done but lot of features are missing. Great idea with screen fleshes. I will add lot of things surly.

lazzydev72 2020-05-05 18:58

Realy Cool idea i had fun playing it. very cool. Well Done. :v:

Guys, this is from my heart not just the words. Huge thanks for your support on my first LDJAM journey. But i want to ask you for more help... i know i'm bad person... I hope that one day i will have my own GAME STUDIO. Pleas support me on my YT channel so i can reach my dreams.

And pleas... if YOU HAVE channel on youtube... share it with me. I want to hear about you guys in the future.

HUGE THANKS AGAIN ♥

fabula-rasa 2020-05-10 09:15

This is extremely impressive for a solo game! Graphics are great and the background music is pleasant. I liked the gameplay as well. You should be really proud!

I only have two small issues. I wish I had some robo sixth sense or a radar - in other words, I wish there was some arrow that pointed in the direction my robo child went - I lost track of him quite a bit. And the performance is not so great. Game was quite laggy for me.

joamd 2020-05-10 09:35

@ladislavodstrcil Nice video :ok_hand: Here are my channels. I'm relatively new,as well

ladislavodstrcil 2020-05-10 11:28

@fabula-rasa thanks for feedback, on down right corner is small map where you can see the kiddo, but it's great idea to add a pointer to the screen... i will add it in for sure... LAGS - yeah i hate them too, i have to optimize the game somehow :)

fabula-rasa 2020-05-10 12:04

@ladislavodstrcil Watched your video and, as I said under it, it was pretty cool to see how somebody else approaches LD! I actually have a fledgling YT channel as well, just barely started it, but it's from a completely different theme, so I doubt that it would be interesting to you. It's about lore of the Witcher universe (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBqtH135CMGKT7p1nhuGvxg).

But! If you will play our game LD 46 and like it, we are actually developing that one into a full game. So you can follow my more gaming-related endeavors on itch :wink:

ladislavodstrcil 2020-05-10 15:01

@fabula-rasa thanks and i'm in man!

my english is bad... so i hope it's the good phrase :D
