Sick game!This game is quite absurd and fun.You just click frantically and see a bunch of weird bird rushing to a house frantically with a weird baby on the mouth of each of them.It's not so related to the theme but still impressive.
I'd seen the concept of this delivery thrown around and it's cool to see a unique take on it. Pretty fun as is, but would have been really cool to see what innovative clicker progressions could have been added with the second day.
It was ok, but I got board quick it lacked a little on the graphics and the concept seems limited.
@bad-b4dguy Thanks for the nice comment! The birds might not make sense depending on when/where you grew up but in some cultures the stork (a kind of bird) is said to deliver babies to homes. You don't see it as much anymore but the image of a stork carrying a baby in a bundle used to be in a lot of cartoons. If you google "Stork clipart" you will see what I was going for. The relation to the theme is that the storks are "delivering" babies and the act of bringing a baby to this world is also called "delivery". I hope that clears some of the confusion :)
@kierogi Thanks for the kind words! I'm honestly surprised more people didn't go with delivery as in babies but I guess I have a weird mind. I'm pretty disappointed in how little I was able to accomplish that day, but one of these days I'll submit a proper game. Fingers crossed for Ludum Dare 54
@whizbang Thanks for the feedback! Yeah its pretty basic. I was hoping that adding a time limit and keeping it short would keep the player engaged, but it doesn't look like I was successful
nice game... just keep clicking
For a clicker game at least it has some variety in terms of the "baby shower" button. All it would take would be to make the baby shower button move around the screen or something and you have a more interactive game. Not bad as a start and I'm sure you could expand on it if you so wish. Also the dialogue was quite humorous!
HAHA, nice game. I can't click at that speed in the same spot for that long. Gave my finger a workout though. Nice graphics fun game. You should consider porting to mobile. With some more polish it would work well there. Easier to tap a finger then press a mouse button.
@dummy432 Yep, its a carpel tunnel exercise (:
@glove Thanks for the nice comment! I love your idea of moving the button! I could have done it in like 10 minutes, and it would have been a pretty nice improvement. Very good "bang for buck" in terms of development time. I wish I thought of it. I'm so glad you enjoyed the humor! I'm just one guy and don't have anyone to bounce Ideas on so I can never tell if my jokes are noticed and/or funny.
@milano23 Thanks for your kind words! Sorry if my game hurt your hand. I was hoping the "baby shower" button would add a bit of variety to the game and make you move your mouse a bit more but it wasn't enough. I thought of adding more buttons on different timers but they would all need their own theme and art, which there was no time for. I kind of cheated with the baby shower, in that the art was basically the stork sprite without the stork. I just needed to remove the bird to get the baby. I should look into mobile development too, thanks for pointing that out
Did I catch a Ryan George joke in there?
The game was pretty silly. Reminded me of the early internet, in a good way.
@matt-green Ohhh! I've been hearing that phrase on twitch and YouTube and it's been stuck in my brain, but i had never looked into it. I googled it and you're right! Apparently I've stolen a Ryan George bit before watching any of his videos. XD
Anyway, thanks for the kind words. Early internet is the best compliment i could hope for :)
This one was a bit bit weird, but something nice and different. Clickers haven't really been my thing, but good job on this one...
rofl 5 for humor 100%
@purpledartfrog Thank you for giving my game a try. I agree that it is quite weird :)
@anthony-katona I'm glad you got a chuckle out of my silly game. Thanks for the comment!
I played it the first time around before I realized that baby shower made things easier. It also wasn't obvious that I needed to declare myself the winner by clicking the Win button, so I played 3 times to see the win screen, and my clicky finger is now tired. It definitely could use some more things to do. It's fun for the minute. Pretty funny too. Well done considering the limited time.
@pincushion Thank you for the feedback, I'm glad you liked the humor. You are right about the win condition. In retrospect I could have made the victory button larger and given it a more eye catching colour. I'll definitely try to consider that for my next Ludum Dare attempt!
Fun game, my finger is hurting from all the clicking I needed to do. The baby shower is really funny as well. Keep up the good work!
Very simple but to be honest that's not really a problem. You mentioned about sounds and I think that would have gone a long way in this game. The only other big critique I have is that it's not particularly clear what the plague thing is doing - a timer in the top right that affects a number in the bottom left while your eyes are focused on some buttons in the top left. Considering you made this in a day though great job, it's really just a couple of surface issues and I love the funny sprites you made.
Ahah, started to play the game in the office, bad idea... I was clicking like a maniac trying to get those 500 babies... That was fun ^^
@bridgeonastick Thanks for playing! Im glad you liked the baby shower. I wanted to go full silly with this game
@pegasys That's good feedback, I really should give audio a higher priority at least once. None of my Ludum Dare attempts have had any sounds yet. Regarding the numbers, the intent was to have the player leave their mouse on the button as they click and scan around the screen with their eyes for the numbers. I was hoping this could give the game a frantic/energetic feel. As you pointed out, it didn't really pan out in the end but I'm not sure how I would handle it differently. Maybe using progress bars instead of numbers would make things easier to scan in a hurry
@thomaslebel LOL, thanks for the comment, I hope I didn't get you in trouble! :)
Had a lot of fun playing this - went through it a couple of times. Great concept / idea / variation on the theme and good graphics.
Missed sound but understand stuff needs to be cut 'cause of time.
Loved the "Baby Shower" button. Have no idea why the "Next Plague" button was clickable or what it did but I kept getting the urge to click it.
A okay little clicker game. A bit more gameplay would been great, but I still had fun trying your game.
@thaprofesional Thanks for the kind words! I hadn't noticed the plague button being clickable until you mentioned it. That's a bug, and I can see why it would confuse players. I have a bad habit of using buttons as miscellaneous UI elements, and I forgot to turn off the interactivity toggle on that one.
@jk5000 Thanks for giving it a go! Yeah It ended up being a bit bare-bones, even by my standards
This reminds me of my first entries. Nice, keep it up!
