Great game! Really liked the vibe, overall visual and audio design is very good. Voicovers are phenomenal! Killed the boss in 5 or 6 hits, could be a little tougher fight. Controls are a little sticky, i think making character respond faster would be better. Still, really fun!
The best of i played today 5 stars! :)
I love it ♥ i love the visuals, voiceacting, well done ♥
This game is awesome! I love all of the jokes! I love the mood! I love the gameplay! I did think the boss was a bit too quick to beat but other then that great game!
Fantastic voice actors, fantastic music, fantastic gameplay
This game is AMAZING!
Okay, this little gem here needs to get more attention!
Simple core gameplay, but oh boy do these fellows nail the execution. Loved the cutscenes, the music, the art style and the overall pacing. Tubular!
This game is great! The gameplay is very fun, switching weapons mechanic is awesome. The only complain I have is maybe the game is on the easier side...? But that's a nitpick.
Good mecanics ^^ !
Stellar game! The production value is outstanding for 72 hours. Your team should be really proud!
A few pieces of constructive criticism: - The guns should feel a little "juicier" to shoot - The dash could maybe be shorter & faster? It seems a little clunky to use
The commentary is fun. I am glad that health is given back at each new level, because I am terrible at moving with the keyboard and mouse. I would not have made it past the second level. However, made it to the throne room.
That was really fun The camera could be zoomed out a bit more Love the narration!
I enjoyed to roll & shoot, it always makes me exciting. And bring me a sense of Hotline Miami, nice design, Good game!
Beautiful game ! The gameplay is amazing, the art incredible and the music (and the voiceover) to die for :) Congrats to the entire team !
God this game is absurd! I love it!
The plot is charming. The simplicity of the protagonist's motivation really works for a bullet hell shooter in hell. The core gameplay is very fun--bouncing around and grabbing people's guns. The various enemies were interestingly distinct. I appreciate the rainbow-versus-red distinction between friendly and enemy bullets. And the game is so elaborately decorated--up to having voice acting which I appreciated and added a bunch to the experience.
I can't think of any improvements or serious criticism. Great job!
Nice game ! good job
Hilarious and fantastic.
The music! The art design! The voice acting! Everything was just great! Thanks for creating such a good game!
I just wish there was a full screen option (or did i miss something?).
@zimny11 Yes, you can enable full screen in the settings menu (accessed from the menu at the start). Thank you for the kind words! :)
I think I played something alot like this a year ago in 'keep it alive' Ludum... Something called "dance dance magic unicorn" or something like that. It was awesome and so was this!
Anyways, to the details... Neat character graphics, simple but good designs. Made me think of one of my favourite games, Crypt of the Necrodancer :) ...use of theme was good if quite obvious though. It was the n:th hell-game I played this Ludum :D. Good and funny voice acting. (we tried voice acting now in our game the first time ever and it's so hard to get right)
Music was a good jam and sounds were ballzy. Also, listen to CMX much? :laughing:
Game was alltogether well polished and the length was enough but not to overstay it's welcome. Again, very professional game for this little time!
@tomssuli I've never listened to them before but I love them! Thank you!
easy 5/5 for me amazing well done guys
Beautiful game, you guys really outdid yourself this jam. The game feels smooth and polished, sounds great and has a clear implementaion of the theme. Best of luck, I'm sure you won't need it though!
@danield Hehe, nice! I just thought your game was named after one of their songs :smiley:
Good style! And fun to play)
@tomssuli you know, it's funny, we were all thinking of The Trammps' song from the 70's, and my wife heard the name and said "Like the 50Cent song?" Now I know this one!
For some reason none of the sounds worked -except- for the voice overs (and the grunts of the Devil, lol), which I think means I missed a lot of the game! Sorry! But I enjoyed it either way, haha, and I loved the voice overs. Very easy though, and I didn't use the dash even once (I forgot it existed). Well done!
@wolfrug Ah... That's a bummer! Sorry for that :(
Sounds like audio was turned off in the settings somehow, because the sounds you did hear are the only ones which are not affected by the settings (due to the fact that we forgot to add them to the correct channel). That's a shame, like you said sound is a big part of our game. Glad to hear you enjoyed it anyway!
amazing game style, music and mechanics. pretty fun. and I like that youve done voice acting
THIS IS EPIC! I loved the old tv like graphics and the voice acting was AMAZING! It was a very nice bullet hell like game! I realized I read that there was a dodge roll, but it didn't seem to work. didn't make it less enjoyable thouhg :wink: Great job!
Probably the most polish I've seen yet, loved the lore too. The only negatives I can think of is that the shooting is a bit unsatisfying and the "fisheye"(?) effect was a bit too disorienting, but a really good job!
OOOOOH MY GOD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE 5 stars DEFINITELY!!!
Verry good game play bro, nice job !
I really love the audio design and the humour / character interaction in this entry.
The disco aethetic mixed with the crt shader was making my eyes water towards the end of the game.
Dodge roll didn't really add anything to the gameplay as you could easily dodge most bullets. The gun pick ups could do with more ammo and most of them felt like downgrades due to the slow fire-rate and accuracy, there was no indication if they did more damage.
Over all a really solid experience.
Great game here, loved almost everything about it except one thing...
Your disco is not strong enough, you need more disco in your disco!
...
Okay I'll also mention that the shooting was a bit awkward and could be improved, but that disco thing is WAY more important.
(For the record I did like the music)
Awesome game! The graphics, humor, music and voice acting are all on point! The conversations between the demons was a nice touch.:)
Great game! Shooting feels nice, and I like the mechanic of using your opponents weapons. The graphics are great and the shaders do their job. I like how the audio is CRTified as well, but it feels weird that that's not the case for the music. The inbetween dialog is funny, and cool that it was voice acted! Well done!
Wow! Great job on everything. The game is smooth, the audio is really good and the arts are amazing! I would have like to keep guns or press a key to switch as there were weapons really better than others. But, overall you guys a really great game in such a small time! Keep it up
Wonderful graphics, and smooth operation. Very fun game
Wooooooooaaaaaaaaah
Absolutely fantastic submission, I almost cannot believe you made this in 72 hours! Insane! The voice acting and the dialogue adds so much character to this, and the visuals and music are fantastic too.
The actual gameplay functionality is tight, and although its nothing new in terms of mechanics its still a very complete package and a lot of fun.
Agree with someone above that said the boss is over too quick, I was hoping for some cool scripted boss-moves with him, but when you consider everything else included with this its completely understandable!
Would play a full game version for sure
(devil's voice) I'M AWESOME.
11/10 I hope it'll be top 10 of the Ludum Dare 48 games!
Really really really (insert more "really") nice game ! Colors, music, voice acting... 5 stars overall !
If I should find a flaw, it would be that the right click of the mouse was not used, it could be easier to have the dodge on both space bar & right click. But in any case it is a really nice game !
The VO wins it for me! Great work :)
I love this game. its amazing how much can get done in 3 days. the art is beautiful and the music is also beautiful. great work!
A very fun game indeed! I like the setting and voice acting, humour and wit! What i didn't like is that levels get a little bit repetitive since there is no variation other than colours, but overall a very solid game.
A lot of effort went into voice acting and graphics, but in the end you just move in empty box and fight the same enemy with different weapon. Every single hit I got was just because of my greed to move directly to the enemy which also was annoying given you can't even see the enemy across the the room, the zoom is way too high. Maybe introduce some obstacles or split the box into connected rooms. On the other hand the art style is on point, music fits the overall theme characters are crisp, movement and weapon handling feels very smooth, great work!
This game rocks! Very fun idea and gameplay. The character dialogue is also very good
This game is RAAAAAAAAAAAAAD! Love the gameplay, amazing vocal work and a really awesome look! One of my absolute favourites ive played in the Jam and hopefully will see more added to this game! Great great great job!
What a lovely little game! As usual. Indeed, your iconic mix of very pretty 2D spritework and excellent presentation are raised to a new bar, because I absolutely adored all the presentation Disco Inferno has. From the little splash screen into the menu, with the DUDE falling behind, to the camerawork transitioning into the cutscenes. Also his little pixel cigar with its little pixel cigar smoke. Voicework was very characterful too, and the whole 70s disco vibe (why are they all in a disco?! Doesn't matter!) was groovy, baby, and it's topped off by some fitting banging tunes.
The presentation is definitely the game's strongest aspect, in all regards. Gameplay is simple but effective; I have never been good at bullet hell games, but I feel like in some ways it was very difficult to predict or anticipate projectiles. They were large and enemy ones felt a tad too fast to dodge in time, especially when they're coming from all directions. This is compensated by your fairly tanky health, but it doesn't feel quite as tight as it might! :laughing: Perhaps the camera could have been zoomed out a little? That may have helped. Some variance in environment between levels, whilst luxurious, would have been lovely, but I did like the change in cilour schemes. That was a nice touch.
The boss itself was a bit too weak as others have mentioned. It was awesome to "finally" get to fight the Big BOss Man himself, but once he was half health I was able to just stand still and fire, tanking his shots till he died. I beat the whole thing first go actually! But despite complaints regarding both it being too difficult *and* too easy, what resulted was a good experience where I had some close calls but never felt like I was about tob e cheated.
Super solid work again guys, nice job.
Nice game, pure fun and groovy audio. Good job!
i like mood and rytm of game
Really great job! I liked the visual effect of the retro-tv style. Voice acting was great, I especially liked the demon butler character. The mechanic of picking up a new gun/powerup per kill was good at keeping the game interesting, I think I much preferred that to e.g. picking up one new gun per floor. It was very reminiscent of Enter The Gungeon actually!
I think this was the perfect length for a jam game as well - it held my interest long enough to get to the end, but it was repetitive enough that any more levels and I may have got bored and smoved on.
Really great job!
Really nice mood, visuals and audio. The game mechanics were fine, it was enjoyable, though maybe not super deep. It was a really nice length for a game gam entry. The characters were great and really well conveyed. The controls felt good. The old screen effect was decent, but I couldn't decided if it was an improvement or not. Good colour palette.
Fun game with a good music and sound effects. It was kinda easy, I forgot to use dodge but even with that I could survive. Nice work :)
A nice little game! Shooting the baddies is rewarding and the disco atmosphere fills you with adrenaline.
I loved the retro artstyle with the screen filter, and the voice acting was also very nice! The bullet-hell mechanics felt pretty tight, but I feel like the camera should have been zoomed out more, as most of the time the enemies would be shooting at you from offscreen. If you ever expand on this game, I think that your health shouldn't be refilled after each stage, and you should instead get a chance of a health pickup after killing enemies. However, I think the way you did it was actually nice for a jam game because it makes it easy for people to see all the content even if they aren't very good at it. By the way, @simon-rahnasto, I saw you comment on another game that you love pirate games, so I thought I'd let you know that we also made a pirate game for the jam, just in case you wanted to check it out!
This game is just the bomb! Everything in it works extremely well with each other. The music, the pace, the controls, the graphics - all are just so in sync. It was a pure pleasure to play and everything just worked nicely.
I really applaud the color choices. You managed to create a disco atmosphere without overusing the oversaturated colors that would just kill the player's eyes. Truly well done.
The voice acting is great. And when he says "I'm awesome" at the end it just totally won me over.
The game might be too easy, as I am not very proficient at those and managed to finish it on the first try. But I definitely had fun!
Brilliant game! Really fun vibe, the variety of ennemies and associated guns keeps it interesting, and you really went the extra mile with that VO! Congrats!
Nicely executed game! There's lots to like, we just had trouble understanding the voice acting - maybe subtitles would've been good?
@blinry Im a bit confused because all voice acting has subtitles. Is your resolution lower than 720p by any chance?
@simon-rahnasto We're now also confused, because we can't reproduce this. When we start the game now, we can see the subtitles! We can also see the second character on the right of the screen during the dialogs, which had been invisible before! :O But it didn't seem cut off when we first played, because we saw the whole "CRT monitor outline". Huh!
@blinry That’s super strange, but I appreciate that you tried it again, thank you!
Super amazing jam submission! Everything was top-notch from the voice acting to the sprites to the variety of guns! And I really like how the guns run out of ammo and you have to go find a new one.
This game is super fun and I LOVED the music :musical_note:
Oh my god!
This was awesome! I stuck around the menu screen for two minutes thinking if you wanted people to actually play the game, you shouldn't make the title music that good. But yeah; the in game music is even better.
The aesthetics are awesome and fit with the audio, the story, the voice acting, and the humor so good! Fun to play, and funner (is that a word?) still with everything that's going on with the lights and the sounds.
The game got me right at the start, and didn't let me go until it was over. And not even then. I had to play it again right away.
5* for graphics, audio, fun, mood and humor and overall!
Great job people, and thank you for making this game! :smile:
Very polished game! I included it in my compilation video series of a bunch of LDJAM games! https://youtu.be/rQyFGYR3HW4
