Short but sweet. Loved the setup, the pixel art is really nice and especially the animations are really really well done, the sleep bar is well timed to give you enough time to try everything out at a nice pace while still being challenging to win. Overall really solid entry, good job :D

holyblackcat 2022-04-04 12:18

That tongue cheese grab though. :P

spthiel 2022-04-04 16:05

Some wise man once said "All good games have animation canceling, or something like that"

baily 2022-04-04 16:06

the art is spectacular.the idea was genius and the gameplay is just great.10/10. pls rate my game

phoenixofforce 2022-04-04 16:16

@initialposition Haha thanks :)

@holyblackcat That is definitely one of my best animations xD

@spthiel I heard that too

@baily Done

Thank you all for playing :D

atomicptr 2022-04-04 16:17

It was worth going through the hassle of installing Java 17, Overall really solid, good job!

phoenixofforce 2022-04-04 17:57

@atomicptr Thank you, i also went trough the hassle multiple times.

So other people dont have to i added versions that come with an java version included. I dont know if the mac and linux versions work tho.

haztro 2022-04-04 23:50

Great entry. The art is amazing! Hectic keyboard posture, mans can code with one hand.

tendencydriven 2022-04-05 12:08

Short and sweet, love the dancing and the dialogue

arfilish 2022-04-05 12:14

I liked it. I laughed hard because i can relate ;) I loved graphics and artstyle. But i didn't understand relation to theme

cubzer 2022-04-05 12:16

First of all thanks for the standalone version. Overall really nice game. I liked the art and the animations. Humor wise you had me at elden bracelet. Good Job.

phoenixofforce 2022-04-05 12:23

Thank you all for playing and leaving feedback c:

@arfilish My interpretation of the was that sleep is inevitable and your delaying your sleep to stay awake for the theme announcement. (the jam always starts at 3am were i live)

@cubzer Your welcome, glad that its working ^^ Finding fake names is always fun :D

gbgames 2022-04-05 13:59

I tried the standalone Linux build. The main graphics slowly move off the bottom of the screen, I see text at the top, and then this.Screenshot from 2022-04-05 08-59-17.png

I imagine it wasn't intentional?

EDIT: I tried to capture the graphics moving off the bottom of the screen, but they weren't as slow as I thought. See how they are almost gone?Screenshot from 2022-04-05 09-00-55.png

sayurinyooko 2022-04-05 14:02

Simple but interesting. I like this game, thank you! Visual is good and game references are funny and wonderful!

phoenixofforce 2022-04-05 14:03

@gbgames No thats not intentional. Its weird that it does work to some degree. If either the java version or opengl does not work nothing would show. Very weird

Wait i have an idea

EDIT: So i had some debug controlls in. If you press A/D or use the left stick of a gamepad the camera moves up and down. That could be the cause of the problem

So maybe try removing the gamepad if you have one connected. And avoid A/D ^^

phoenixofforce 2022-04-05 14:09

@gbgames I dont know if you get notified about my edits. But in case you did no notifaction, i am writing this again. The post above has maybe a fix for the problem, i could also upload a fixed version, if it still does not work.

@sayurinyooko Thank *you* for playing.

michaell 2022-04-05 14:25

Really fun animations!! I got a small visual glitch when I was juggling the balls on the right, a single line of green pixels appeared to the right of the tv, but other than that it was perfect!

slowline 2022-04-05 14:29

very good looking pixel art!

zer0-flash 2022-04-05 14:40

Didn't work on mac il try again tmrw on windows and then rate it because the game ratings seem quite good so im gonna try playing it

gbgames 2022-04-05 14:45

@PhoenixofForce The controller was it! I unplugged it, and the graphics stayed put!

"What is coyote time?" Haha! I think my mistake was reading a book instead of dancing more, but I made it to 02:16 my second time.

I love the goofy and fun animations.

I wish I had a better idea of what effect each action was having, but maybe that's part of the game is trying again and again and seeing what works and what not to do.

phoenixofforce 2022-04-05 14:45

@zer0-flash Yeah, I've been told its because of the opengl version. Still, every jam i'll put a mac version together, because it might work :/

Thanks for trying and for trying again tomorrow

phoenixofforce 2022-04-05 14:50

@gbgames Nice, that that solved the problem. I wished i could've provided texts what each action does. But i made the effects by randomly putting together a formular until it felt about right : D

Thanks for playing :D

exaggegen 2022-04-05 15:59

This game has good pixel art, which I definitely like, but I can't say that I got any special interest from the gameplay, perhaps because the treadmill between seven objects, clicking on them. In general, what I also liked is that there are many different variations of the development of events with the remaining time, which can quite lure into the game. I would suggest adding as many different scales as possible, or something that doesn't give a pure dependence on one scale.

fifut 2022-04-05 16:34

Very beautiful pixelart.

Too bad there is no sound and music because other feature is very good.

phoenixofforce 2022-04-05 16:54

@fifut Yeah, its bad that haven't got to put audio in. Every games benefits from some audio

Thanks for playing :)

baily 2022-04-05 16:56

tieran 2022-04-05 17:18

Loving the art!

This is so relatable which makes the game fun to play, it simple but sweet. Good Job!

jni 2022-04-05 17:33

Really neat game. The pixel art and mood is great. Not sure if it's intended, but using A/D keys moved the camera up and down, which felt a bit weird.

phoenixofforce 2022-04-05 17:42

@tieran Haha thanks c:

@jni Thank you :) Yeah A/D were debug controlls i forgot to remove ^^'

ukulelefury 2022-04-05 17:44

:( I can't get it to run on my machine. Windows 11. I couldn't run the .jar directly, so I downloaded the _w_Java version. Clicking on the .bat file, I see a console window and the actual game window flicker open, but then close immediately.

phoenixofforce 2022-04-05 17:49

@ukulelefury Thats too bad :( Could you * run the command line there (Shift righ-click "Run ComamndLine" or "Run Powershell" or something like that) * copy paste the code in the .bat file "jdk-17.0.2\bin\java.exe -jar DontSleep.jar"

You *should* get an error message display. Hopefully i can figure out why with it.

ukulelefury 2022-04-05 17:55

Here you go!

arthurr 2022-04-05 17:56

Je n'aime pas trop .

vidarn 2022-04-05 18:12

Great idea, well executed. Felt like a nice polished experience and everything was well made. I liked reading the funny comments on every interaction and how my panic started growing once the bar filled up.

phoenixofforce 2022-04-05 18:29

@vidarn Thanks for playing :) writing the comments was definetly a highlight :D

@ukulelefury Thanks. I think i got it. Google told me that some pcs dont like when i declare like "2f" and have to write "2.0" instead :rolling_eyes:

So i changed all my shaders and uploaded them again: https://github.com/PhoenixofForce/Ludum_Dare_50/releases/tag/v0.5.1

* Download the "alternate_shader.zip" * delete the *normal* shader folder located in "res/" (so delete "res/shader" or the contents) * unzip "alternate_shader.zip" * move the unziped "shader"-Folder (not the "alternate-shader"-Foler) where you deleted the other (do it with the files instead, if you deleted the contents)

ukulelefury 2022-04-05 18:37

:( Getting another error!

sprunth 2022-04-05 18:38

Love it. The art work is great and the gameplay was smooth. I also appreciate the build w/ Java :)

phoenixofforce 2022-04-05 18:46

@ukulelefury :'( I cant find any info about this. One last guess of mine is that you have different opengl version or something like that. But i dont think theres any more i can do right now :(

ukulelefury 2022-04-05 18:48

@phoenixofforce No worries! I hope it's just failing for me!

ollie-d 2022-04-05 18:57

Graphics are really nice! Had no problem running it on my Windows machine. There's something very satisfying about just going straight to bed out of defiance haha. Well done

srynetix 2022-04-05 19:29

Haha fun theme interpretation, the real struggle of waiting for the theme to be announced, 3 AM for me too. :smile: Great graphics, I like your pixel art, and the fun texts! :wink:

geraldfingburke 2022-04-05 19:44

Incredibly clever concept. I absolutely loved the eating animation as well. Great sense of humor and very well polished. I'm amazed you did this for the compo! Great job!

phoenixofforce 2022-04-05 21:05

@geraldfingburke I was ready and my game felt good when there were a few hours left for compo. The other rules were also fulfilled... so that was my happy little accident :)

@srynetix Yeah, 3am is always tough. I always start in the morning tho (when i start) ^^

@ollie-d Haha, i thought that would be a funny "easter egg" to add if time was left. And it was : D

Glad you all had fun c:

smilewood 2022-04-06 03:07

Game looks great. I didn’t see a lot of gameplay beyond clicking on the various things in the room and watching the interactions; maybe having some sort of combo system could have made it more interesting, doing a series of actions in the right order could be more effective and result in a secret animation? Generally a chill game though, well done!

pierce-brooks 2022-04-06 04:09

Great job on the custom engine! :D

seng 2022-04-06 06:43

Funny game. I like the art a lot. This came up the moment I had the same thought: dont_sleep.png A chill soundtrack would have made it perfect. I still like it. Especially the art. Keep it up!

phoenixofforce 2022-04-06 08:49

@smilewood Thanks for the Feedback. The right order thing sounds like something that i would habe put if i thought of it :) Or Maybe there is (no its not)

@pierce-brooks Yeah, its in good shape, but still got a lot to Do : D Thanks for playing

@seng Sadly currently neither my engine nor my skills allow music :( But its coming. Glad you had Fun tho ^^

scrawny 2022-04-06 12:38

Absolutely in love with the art and concept. Had some visual problems though, some of the text was cut off 'cause of the window size, and resizing the window seemed to break something (Windows_w_Java.zip, 144Hz)

Screenshot 2022-04-06 153403.jpg

Still, had a great time, very chill, great job. Making your own engine is super impressive

fosf0 2022-04-06 15:07

I loved the graphic style!

real-flamingicecubegames 2022-04-06 16:02

Pretty cool game. Graphics were nice, especially the cheese eating. Sound is a bit lacking, and there isn't too much going on in the game, but it's humor makes up for it.

thegameoverguy 2022-04-06 16:20

I loved the pixel art! Great work! I would have loved some sounds / music. Thanks for including one with the java packages.

vilix64 2022-04-06 16:24

Cute art style! The Linux version needed a bit of fiddling to start but nothing serious (`chmod +x`).

mike-baldwin 2022-04-06 17:38

Unfortunately, I'm getting the same errors as @ukulelefury . Tried the alternate shaders and got again the same error they got. I'm on Windows 10, with an AMD Radeon RX 5700XT gpu (w/ updated drivers). It looks like a great game, so it stinks that I can't play and rate it. Regardless, good luck!

phoenixofforce 2022-04-06 19:31

@mike-baldwin Unlucky :'( I hoped ukulelefury would make the exception that proves the rule. I'll try to fix it again tomorrow, which should be quite hard, since i get no errors :/

@vilix64 Thanks for the info :) I gotta keep that in mind for future releases

@scrawny Yeah, i got this too when developing but figured it would not be that important to fix. I hope it was not too distracting ^^'

@fosf0 @real-flamingicecubegames @thegameoverguy Thank you all for playing and giving feedback : D

ardakrkz 2022-04-06 19:52

Oh my god finally someone made a fan-game for my daily life.

elimarable 2022-04-06 20:35

Very cute and funny! The animations definitely got some laughs out of me. I clicked on the bed wondering if it would be reverse psychology and actually wake me up, but nope, instant game over :) Of course, it would be even better if it had music and sound. Great work!

wuppos 2022-04-07 00:20

This was really nice and relaxing! Just going by all the activities to see what they would do. The animations and the text really made this game, especially the dancing animation was great :P I think sounds would have added a lot to this game. Like some actually loud music when you turned on the music, or some gaming noises behind the computer. I understand very well that the time was limited though :) What I also really enjoyed is that it recognized when you did a certain activity multiple times. A bit of fourth wall breaking like 'Did I not just do that already?' made me laugh XD

I expected that A and D on the keyboard would move the camera sideways, but instead it moved the camera up and down for me? This was a bit odd, but luckily there were the buttons on the screen I could use.

I am also always impressed when people use their own engine. I cannot imagine what kind of trouble it must be to go through all that when I already have a lot of trouble using a pre-made engine >.< Very nice submission to the jam! I had a lot of fun :D

phoenixofforce 2022-04-07 10:09

@ukulelefury @mike-baldwin I uploaded a new version of the shaders under the [same link](https://github.com/PhoenixofForce/Ludum_Dare_50/releases/tag/v0.5.1). I guess thats the last try as i dont want to use you as my debug bunnies :)

@wuppos Yeah ^^' i gotta remember to remove debug controls for the future. And i definetly had no problems at all rendering a simple square :slight_smile:

Thanks to you for playing

rickylee 2022-04-07 14:58

Love the graphics! very funny twist at the end :') didn't know what was working and what wasn't sometimes but it was inevitable so we :D Great submission!

ukulelefury 2022-04-07 15:33

:( I still see an error. And it looks like less info to go off of this time too.

apphons6 2022-04-07 22:06

Neat game, cool cute pixelart, pretty funny, wished there was some music but honestly the game made up for it, nice little game :D

mrpouletbzh 2022-04-08 12:18

Lovely litlle game, I do love the take on the theme, and you did great pixel art. Not much to add, well done!

arihan10 2022-04-21 13:23

Bit simplistic but fun! I really love the graphics- it's clear most of the experience is compacted into looking at the character do weird and funky stuff, so it's great that the graphics are well made. As for the gameplay, I wasn't really able to figure out how the player loses or what is inevitable (I ended up winning). That aside though, it's an enjoyable game, and very impressive for the timeframe it was made in. Good job!
