I just had fun pressing every button not understanding squat, felt oddly satisfying.

Muchos arigatos signore, grande videogame!

danielblanco3d 2020-10-05 20:14

LOL, @nobleboy , thanks a lot for your words...next Ludum Dare i´ll try to translate my game...

deav 2020-10-08 10:51

I wish it could be in English :( Can't play or rate it in this form

gonzalol 2020-10-08 11:00

Jajajaja tu historia destila desesperación y fracaso, me encanta!

sharked 2020-10-08 11:02

Even if you used google translate and get some mistake, it would be better because we are not so many to understand spanish. :( Try to do a post jam version and translate it ;)

samdemaine 2020-10-08 11:14

Nice game! The graphics are right up my alley and the controls are a pleasure to use, could you check out my game when you can? :D

voidsay 2020-10-08 11:43

I haven't taken spanish classes when I was in school, but I took some french (not that I am any good at it ether)

From my limited knowledge of Romance languages I could conclude that this game is about participating in a ludum dare. You get some choices of how to go about it, but you always run out of time/have nothing to show for your work and then you wake up having the chance to do it all over again.

I can't judge whether or not the text is any humorous, so no rating in that category from me. Everything else is mostly ok, nothing special, but I have seen worse.

danielblanco3d 2020-10-10 07:49

Thanks for your words @sharked I thought about that...but the true is that i am not sure if i can change the itchio file during play and rate period and still be rated...

danielblanco3d 2020-10-10 07:52

Gracias @gonzalol ! no se muy bien porque... :)

danielblanco3d 2020-10-10 07:56

Thanks @samdemaine ! I will play and rate Paper Planes for sure

danielblanco3d 2020-10-10 07:59

@voidsay You are absolutely right about the plot !!! Thanks for play and comment.

francesco 2020-10-10 23:03

"Tienes resaca": eso es la loop :D

(Un poquito corto, me hubiera gustado mas contenido.)

cargamoni 2020-10-11 00:01

I just dont understand ^^ Rate our game too please (:

danielblanco3d 2020-10-11 00:08

Yes, for sure @cargamoni !

fedora 2020-10-11 00:51

Interesante concepto, quizá un poco corto. Estaría bueno que tuviera traducción al inglés así más gente lo juega :P

rodobodolfo 2020-10-11 02:51

Me gustó pero esperaba poder llegar al final "bueno" donde se publicase este mismo juego. Pero me parece que solo me quede atrapado en el loop.

danielblanco3d 2020-10-13 07:31

Gracias por comentar @francesco , me hubiera gustado hacer una historia con más contenido pero al final solo podía dedicar un día a la entrada...

danielblanco3d 2020-10-13 07:35

Gracias @fedora , es cierto que debí hacer versión en inglés pero temía que una mala traducción hecha rápidamente le quitara a la aventura su estilo...

danielblanco3d 2020-10-13 07:38

Me alegro @rodobodolfo ! al final del período de ranking publicaré todo el arbol del mapa de la aventura... :) ... por cierto que tu entrada tiene un pintón..

pedrocoden 2020-10-13 07:56

Nice game!

danielblanco3d 2020-10-15 06:34

i did it @cargamoni !

danielblanco3d 2020-10-15 07:03

Thanks @pedrocoden !

vphyre 2020-10-16 13:08

It's a very interesting game, which probably tells the dilemmas that we all face when participating in a game jam hahaha. The story is very funny.

ps: My incomplete studies of the Spanish language helped me to understand the history hahaha. Tu juego es muy bueno!

danielblanco3d 2020-10-16 19:04

Thanks @vphyre , you nailed it! Muchas gracias!

jd557 2020-10-17 08:33

Loved the story. As someone who keeps forgetting about the Ludum Dare dates (other than this one, my last submission was on LD 37 :x ), this feels pretty relatable.

Personally, I think that the theme should change to a random one on every loop. That would be a true recreation of the "Ludum Dare experience" :P

Hope that you are able to gt the 20 votes, making the game in Spanish was pretty risky :fingers_crossed:

gamescodedogs 2020-10-17 10:20

That was a very long play session for me because of using Google Translate :))) Gracias por el juego, ¡te deseo la mejor de las suertes!

jegus9 2020-10-17 15:25

ok, la primera cosa, lo siento porque mi español es un fracaso xD

creo que has tenido una idea de juego interesante. sobre la execucion creo que el juego tiene un bien humor. si yo tenga que enumerar cosas que no fueran tan buenas, la principal sería el "beep" siempre que se elije una opcion. y sin embargo, creo que al traducir vas a tener más jugadores.

pero fué un buén trabajo.

satolas 2020-10-18 17:17

I love the beep Sound :D I can speak Spanish, but would be cool to have the game in English as well. +1 for WebGL version, I think for a jam is always cool to make the game easy to access and avoid all the download/unzip process. Good choice Mate !

danielblanco3d 2020-10-20 21:10

Thanks a lot @gamescodedogs !!! Especially for having the patience of playing with Google Translate :) By the way Flip a Talk looks amazing...

danielblanco3d 2020-10-20 21:22

Thanks @jd557 , i am happy to heard that you love the story... my previous submission was on LD 42 :) You are absolutely right about the loops... i just wish i could have spent more time on this LD47...

danielblanco3d 2020-10-20 21:26

Muchas gracias por jugar y comentar @jegus9 ! Voy a traducir el juego al inglés en unos días...después de jugar a Bloody Baron :) Thanks a lot!

danielblanco3d 2020-10-20 21:30

Thanks @satolas ! I will try to finish the English version in some days...wish me luck... :)

danielblanco3d 2020-10-24 18:43

Now it is possible to play in English! @nobleboy @deav @sharked @cargamoni @satolas

jesus-gonzalez 2020-10-24 18:52

Thanks for translating and for making it Web!

thegreenworm 2020-10-24 18:58

Well you know this story is kinda based on a true story, and it's quite funny ! Lacks some polish here and there but still, complete and coherent for a compo game. Thanks for making an english and web build !

moski 2020-10-24 19:14

A short and sweet experience... or is it?

firefox_gIb0ANkdXj.png

Played the english version despite being native spanish speaking (for some reason I'm more comfortable writing in english when on the internet). Since you say that both versions are the same, I think there's no problem.

I liked that this game is as long as one wants it to be. It can be a short satirical remark based on true events or just a mindless Choose Your Own Adventure, and I like it for that. Simple, to the point, well written and not overstaying its welcome. It's good to the boot and retro to the root.

Quite a take on the loop theme! Keep up the good work! :whale:

voidsay 2020-10-24 21:43

Your score has been adjusted. The text had a little haha, so there you go!

gord10ahmet 2020-10-25 02:12

I liked the game in general, thank you for making it also English. Maybe the option buttons could be numbers, instead of A-B.

danielblanco3d 2020-10-25 10:31

You are fine @jesus-gonzalez !

danielblanco3d 2020-10-25 10:47

thanks so much for your feedback @thegreenworm and of course the story the text adventure tells is not autobiographical! :)

esphoros 2020-10-25 10:52

I like this a lot. It's simple but fun, and I like the interpretation of the theme, as well as the beep sound. Good job!

danielblanco3d 2020-10-25 10:59

Thank you for so detailed comment @moski ! Obviously i read Choose Your Own Adventure books when i was a child...Possible differences between english and spanish version are just due to my english level...sometimes is hard to translate Spanish words with double meanings and things like that. Main goal here was to get people stucked in a loop...In just 2 days i will publish "Edge of Ludum Dare" map showing all choices and outcomes...

danielblanco3d 2020-10-25 11:02

Thanks @esphoros ! It´s nice to hear that you like the game

justcamh 2020-10-25 14:45

Hey, I played your game on stream! It was a heap of fun, here’s the vod if you’d like to rewatch; https://www.twitch.tv/videos/781363405

Thanks for submitting your game!

zimny11 2020-10-25 15:05

It's a nice idea. I'm also glad to see a game where you are actually stuck in a loop. There are not many games that took the theme literally :)

danielblanco3d 2020-10-25 15:16

Clearly we are in the same loop @zimny11 :)

danielblanco3d 2020-10-25 21:02

Thank you for playing, rating and streaming @justcamh ! :) stream.png

sakura-magika 2020-10-25 22:13

i really like the concept, but i felt kind of frustrated/mislead after exhausting all possibilities, and realizing they all have the same ending. it seems like you really are stuck in a loop here, which i can appreciate taking the theme very literally, but ultimately didn't feel rewarding. as a player if i feel like i'm stuck in a loop, i have a desire to find out how to break out of the loop. since this game had no way to break out, it felt like every possible choice i could make was wrong, which left me feeling just sad.

i really like text based adventures, and branching narrative story, so i like the meta commentary that this game makes, just wish there was some kind of "good end".

danielblanco3d 2020-10-26 07:32

thanks @gord10ahmet for playing and for your number suggestion!

danielblanco3d 2020-10-26 07:45

I agree with you @sakura-magika that there is no reward for the player in my little game and , indeed all the adventure is just a little joke about frustration...Thanks a lot for your feedback...by the way tou did so amazing game for this LD47... In the past i was frustrated being stuck in some old school text-game adventures...i tried to reproduce that feeling...

peace-of-cake-games 2020-10-26 23:25

Ha ha, I tried every possible combo! This is almost an exact recreation of how my scheduling was this jam! I managed to not have time for art or dialogue too. Exceptions: I didn't try a team and I didn't have a hangover.

somogy 2020-10-27 00:54

I love the concept, great game and job! Congrats!

danielblanco3d 2020-10-27 09:41

Ha Ha @peace-of-cake-games however you submitted "Outside the loop" this LD47! Thanks for playing and commenting!
