fantastic! my only issue is having the platforming elements. I think it should be just a puzzle game IMO especially if this ever made it to mobile :)
great job otherwise!

Hello @sludgekey ! maybe you remember me from the latest jam. I played your family tree game after my wife told me about it :D
I really like the concept of this game. but it lacks the strategic depth that would make it a game in my opinion. if you can achieve that it would make a fun little game.
I really like the art here. and the little animation you do when you make a baby lol
I can't really give you a rating since I am not in this jam. just wanted to say hi!
I didn't like the controls at all at this game.
did not find anything new or interesting.
I like the visuals but they don't make a lot of sense. they need a unified atmosphere. gun blazing enemies with knives didn't help either.
good thing you kept your scope in check. great for a first game jam. its really hard to finish anything in a jam. so good job on that one!
well this deserves a high rating!
it was hilarious, I hate this font as well as pixel fonts. but this one was actually funny it kept me reading.
great job. I didn't let the criminal explain his motives. because f him.
I really enjoyed this one.
also I don't know if you know this. but you have to give feedback to get Karma and your game will be prioritized. I am only saying this because in your stream you said you wanted more feedback.
nice and fun arcady game. well done bro.
I've very much enjoyed your brake down.
I think this could use some leader boards.
well. the idea is working but I think the game play is a bit off. maybe you need to have orders you need to fulfill? IDK
my screen was cut for some reason and I didn't see the entire word
I didn't know how to guess since I don't really know the language.
also the popups are a little bit annoying :) I wish there were more sounds and effects to make it fun.
I mean even by using basic HTML and maybe Jquery libraries you can achieve great results for this.
you clearly used what you are comfortable using. good job.
well to be honest I did not expect this to be this fun. this is really fun. however the RNG is just unfair sometime. and you can lose a lot of mouses with no way not to do so. but the controls are solid and the art is unique.
I kept dying and I couldn't understand what are the commands :(
looks well done though
I was so close!
interesting entry here. on one hand; it looks very polished and very well executed.
but I think it lacks in game play. as you cannot strategise and do a lot of tricks.
to me the game would be more fun if it was way faster. the enemies will take two hits. instead of three. and it should be faster. and of course my health should be lower.
also what is the deal with the souls? are they totally random? I think I had two or three waves without souls.
I think right clicking again should not cancel your attack. I was clicking at first to attack but I kept clicking and nothing happened.
I know this is a jam game and you wanted to do much more in terms of gameplay, maybe more enemies or more abilities. just giving you feedback on my experience.
I really liked the graphics and the overall vibes here. good job!
893 is my score.
I dont think ants should target the house more. I think this is nice because while targeting you they can run into the house. forcing you to change direction.
nice game. I don't if ticks should actually tick.. I think a more natural movement would be nicer.
I like the idea. and the modes (preview then execution) but I couldn't really delete commands and I got stuck at level 3 :(
this a nice little puzzle game though. I really like it.
this is a very moody game. I enjoyed the feel and the environment. you did great with camera effects and sounds.
but to be honest I didn't find a lot of "game" here. most of the time I was just blowing wind in one direction and watching the tumbleweed go through that great environment.
maybe its meant to be just calm game to enjoy the visuals. but I didn't find the shooting part is applicable if so. it didn't make a lot of sense to me anyway.
to conclude I think this would be an epic game if had better level design or more challenge maybe puzzles, something to keep the player other than visuals.
its a fun little game but I didn't find it at all confusing..
in fact I think this could make a great game if improved. maybe your character can fly or its a top down and some enemies will target you and you can protect yourself behind the fighters... etc
good idea man.. I wish it had a little bit of sounds and more effects.
the game is too easy. but I enjoyed it regardless.
I think the game would benefit from making upgrades choices. and some difficulty.
very well executed and really fun to play. great job! I also watched your youtube video on how to make.. nice man!
my score is 3435 first try ! I will replay this later!
the game ran the first time but crashed after 1 second. now it just stay a gray screen and doesn't load
this is a really fun game and very well executed. didn't match the theme in my opinion. but this is a broad theme anyway right?
what was the mobile game that had this mechanic I totally forgot!
but you introduced this one greatly and the pace was incredibly well done!
for the most part the game felt broken and unfinished. and I didn't know what to do.
I can't say I enjoyed this over all. but I like the vibe here.
I think this game could turn to something fun.
I played this with my wife. so it was a little bit fun. but I think it needs more skills and tricks. for the most part we didn't care about what we were doing. the plant ate everything with almost no effort and I was near the big boar at the end. so I've won.
I think the game needs more interesting stuff going on. maybe what you make early on will make it more easy for you to collect more treasure or something.. (a two phase game) also it needs a better level design.
but I really love the art, and the animation and the sounds. the controls are cool as well but they need enhancement.
good entry !
I like the idea and the feel . I couldn't give the (dying man?) the arrow boxes. he wouldn't take them :( so I gave up. also I think the game needs more clear UI and instructions. took me a while to know that he asks for stuff.
I think you are trying to do so many things in a jam. otherwise its cool basic survival game.
I loved that it had a mini map :) felt like a polished game at first...
I think the player needs to learn a little bit on how to survive or get resources at first. I died too quickly without figuring out the game...
this is rally great. very innovative and fun. I pretty much enjoyed it. would make a really cool mobile game!
really nice game. I don't know how to get past level 11 though.
one of the few games you have fun actually playing it. not only nice idea or amazing art. great job!
I couldn't really understand the game.
I got the general concept but I didn't know what was going on...
I think I would really enjoy a polished version of this game. I really like it but it needs more UI to tell the player what is going on and what you should do!
this game is awesome. and I added it to the list of games about decision making!
I loved the pictures and the over all design as well as the mechanics of the game, requesting more info part was awesome.... I think a great idea for this is to compare your judgement to the world(other players) after finishing the game..
it felt highly polished and the choices were hard to make! great job.
this is actually one of the best games here. very fun to play and looks really polished!
I only wish watering had a different sound.
great job people!
not bad. great graphics. I'd add a picking up sound for the torch. worst thing I have is having to restart from level 1 every time you die. guess everyone forgets about these things in a jam :D
I played your post jam version. I liked the music and when the boss appear more than the first one. but the control scheme was way better for me. (up to jump and space to pick) fits a simple game more.
I love the idea and I love that he is literally a troll :P
but I dont know what retort and scorn mean . I mean I don't know what to expect from each. he seems angry no matter what I say. well good thing we got rid of him in the end.
also your game is a decision-making game just like mine. I am adding your game to a list of these. check mine if you are interested:)
I can easily see my self enjoying this if there were more strategies involved and the controls were better. I think when you turn right it says right until you turn it the other way right? I think there should be a UI indicator to show you this.
nice feel and graphics. I think this could go to both mobile as a fun arcade game or PC with a full campaign. of course you should prove the small loop here is fun. I think you are almost there...
cute game here!
I reached 220 and then got tired of nothing new happening and I think the game stopped getting harder?
it was very not fun to see lumber jack spawn near the tree though :) I think they should spawn of map not off screen. also it needs some variations and stuff to make it more interesting and challenging.
good job man!
this game is just incredible man! so fun to play. and the music is great! I sailed 37 miles. (yes distance is always the real score). nut then a stupid Octopus killed me
just lovely. this is defiantly going to my favorites. and I don't have many.
nice little game. need a lot more juice and scoring system or levels.
I like the balancing mechanics. would have played a lot more if things were more in balance.
- I didn't feel like there is a need for a story. maybe you could've used that time to create some cool trailing effect or solved some bugs.
- one time I got the speed and was able to go through the entire level like it has no colliers.
- the controls were a bit off for me especially when you encounter stuff like wind.
this game is lovely and funny. I liked the humor in it.
but I think personally that you bit more than you can chew here.
I felt like the other gun is weaker because it doesn't actually good for protecting from waves since your bullets hits the cats any way. but it was a nice to have.
same feeling about the moving furniture mechanic. it is very interesting to have but in current state of play you cannot do much with it.
you had too many upgrades - item usage system - moving furniture system... etc but they didn't prove how fun they can be here.
I like the way you buy from TV (change the camera) very nice. needed better UI though. also I got really close to TV and furniture and couldn't interact with them. I had to keep distance.
but this is a really great game for 3 day jam! good job.
Okey. I like the concept . really do. but I would have hoped it was more puzzle or even better a strategy. I dont try to get high scores at all. if I make the objective. I move on.
and the slow pace of the game kept me going for not so long. I hated to wait for the score at the end. I wanted to get you win after doing all of the tiles.
few things to improve as well : 1- Camera movements.
2- effects when you get energy (maybe a +1 over the blob) ... etc
extra suggestion:
3- maybe something will come and try to fight your blobs and it can hit 9 tiles around it... (so you try to block it with one blobs or so) stuff like that would make it more interesting I think..
after level 7 the game froze I think. killed all but nothing happened. I like the way it is handled. it is a hard game. IDK if the game froze before unfinished but it seems like a bug to me.
clearly that second screenshot is something I didn't see.
nice and fun game. I like the cowboy theme as well (could anything beside cowboy works? IDK)
this game is lovely. it needs a saving system though. rarely something that LD games needs. but this is highly polished! good job.
I wish there were more “game” elements to it though.
good job man cool game!
this game is really fun.. fresh and nice concept. the lack of sound have a huge impact on the game but hey, no one finishes everything in a jam.
I like how you have to balance resources. over all the run was too easy I think.. it needs more deep decisions and stuff. tell me if you want to continue developing this and you need ideas.
also I am creating a list with decision-based games. yours is added to my list. :) I will share it with you later!
edit : you might want to try my game. since it is decision-based as well
I have mixed feeling on this one; first of all bravo on the setting. the font choice and the entire system encyclopedia like.. I found it very unique. don't know if other games did this before.
but I found myself reading a lot of details where I couldn't care less about my character and what is going on. its like I am in the middle of the story. I got into it very slowly. it got more interesting going on
good entry. maybe it needs a little bit of details in the writing. but maybe its just me.
ok. I like this entry for sure. when I was playing and reached a bad ending . I restarted the game and said to my self "I have to just click through to reach the same place, this should have a history or something!"
well I found that there is a history. I didn't find a lot of depth in the story or the choices. I decided randomly, would have been nice to actually consider things based on an input (my love or hate for a character, being broke, etc)
but I don't know nothing about my character...
of course the humor made up for the lack of depth. I know. I still would suggest to gave a little bit of depth that makes you weigh your options.
also some sound effects and visuals would be nice (not necessarily visuals from the story just more Ui movements and click buttons) maybe sounds for important stuff like dying or dialing the phone.
maybe some ambient sound for office, house, street .. etc
--------------------- ok thats all I won't bore you with more criticism :) Good job on this one and good writing too.
this is a nice entry. I have a few suggestions for this. this could make a real fun game easily. this idea have been tested over and over because it is proven to be fun!
- the firing and the pace is too slow I think. maybe you should be able to fire more but also have more enemies and maybe they can take multiple hits. - when you lose it should tell you why lost (I didn't know why couple of times) - I think IMO shop items should tell you what they can do. so you weigh your options
I like the setting and the character art. nice one!
hello. thanks for telling me about your game. I like the idea, and I like struggling games...like cartlife but my experience was kind of broke.
the first play through I got killed when I tried to steal my neighbor... restart second play through there was this creep wanting to attack my family. I didn't want to leave home but I couldn't stay. it told me it is too early to sleep.
so I go out, ask the neighbor for food. and cooked it. still too early to sleep. nothing to do. I got into the car and back immediately because I don't think I have any money why risk getting infected.
I know its a short Jam game but I have some suggestions... make a little bit clearer on how you get money.
make the run more interesting on it self (I felt like you have to die and learn then you can value your choices more because you know what to expect)
but this is good entry with really nice art.
this game is really Unique to say the lease. my wife played this and told me about it. hi @meme-310 I wouldn't say its much fun after a while I got bored... but I enjoyed the new idea and the system.
first run I married two people and they just didn't have any kids (think I got unlucky) also some guy once his wife died young. I wanted to Marry him again (maybe you should allow it)
I love the fact the most reason people will not get married is "we forgot to marry them" haha
I don't know how to improve on this one. are you planning on improving something? because I like the idea but I dont really know how to make it more fun.
Okey I got scared a little bit. I love the Music when he chases you . and when enters the home. it would be more fun if he entered from different places.
first time I encountered the monster he didn't see me so I just looked at him with his dump walk lol
the baby creeped me out more haaha
nice one man. GJ!
great art and music. and nice little game here. nothing to complain about here. I think it would make a great mobile game.
I suggest touch right or left to move. and both areas to jump-dive
with more enemies and maybe a leader board.
GJ!
this is a really good. game I think the controls needs to be smoother (the Icecube slips faster)
I wish there were sounds as well. I think this could be fun on mobile where you can use gyro to slip the ice cube.
I wish you didn't have to restart from the first wave if you lost. it was a fun game. loved the gamedesign and how you need not to destroy food.
I think also the baby dragons needs a hunger bar..
good game!
nice drawings man. I think needs more to feel like a game. I just kept pouring stuff and everything was ok..
I think it would be better for example if you need to make them grow together so no one will eat the other
this game is highly polished except for needing a little bit of audio.. great job man . real fun.
this is a very well made game. I wish it was faster though. the theme is calmer than I'd like. IDK even though I like calm games. but I got bored with this one.
it was really annoying when you restart a level you had to hear the guy speaking again :D
all in all; great job for a compo entry. looked very polished (only needed sound effects)
nice game. if I want to give criticism I'd say the game seem random, so at very late levels it could be super easy or it could be hard from level 2. also I would love if it have an ending. felt like endless, I hate endless.
@notapixelstudio thanks man! nice to see other games out there.
@ilprinny your game is just lovely. really short but I like it.had around 70 left. I like it very much. I know you didn't have tons of time and it is a compo game. but I wish it had more encounters. and the difference between slow march and fast is not clear. and I wish the fast march will change the animation (maybe just tilt them a little bit)
I am very interested in this game because its a decision game like mine. I think you should give it a go: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/mammoth-expedition
OK I dont usually post links to my game ok ? (the site just told me this is highly discouraged) we need to have a beneficial conversation thats all :)
if you plan to develop this further I would be very happy to give more feedback and stuff. I am really into developing stuff like this right now. dont hesitate to ask or show me your work.
this is an epic entry. I really enjoyed it and I think it would make a great game.
I wanted to keep playing but there is no telling how am I progressing or if its even endless. around Wave10 I got bored a little bit.
I also didn't understand the Red planets? the music choice for defending I didn't like.its a good track needs a little bit dangerous beats. even though its a gardening game :)
all in all I wanted more action and to progress faster. probably will get hard later IDK is there a play through for this?
over all this is one of the best entries I've played so far. great job!
this is highly polished and a very well done game. I coudn't enjoy it as I should. I couldn't locate the buttons easily. I wish they wore a shirt with letters on it so I can tell what to press.
and when I do locate the button. the wave is switched to other buttons :(
I think many people have the same complain.
this is a really nice game... I really enjoyed it. love the music and how it changes dynamically with the situation (when it first grow)
I wish the plant had a subtle animation. really nice job here!
am I allowed to curse here ? lol... first of all Function you too!
second of all what a blast... this easily my favorite entry so far... well except for mine of course :P great job. I almost gave up on level 9. level 10 seemed easier than 9 at first but nooooooooooo
and if you told me that you can collect the things around the canon on level 9 I will choose not to believe you ok? I collected all POSSIBLE tokens. and beat the game. good night.
I had a blast playing this. really good job. and also I love the intro I had to watch it again. the intro is funny I had to restart the game Fantastic.
edit: oh and that last jump on level 9. I was going to punch someone ;D
this totally took me by surprise. came in thinking I will play a cute story. anyhow... I liked this game. the writing is a bit off but the art is great!
also I hate when a game doen't tell me what I did wrong to be better (yes even if its a visual novel) I think I gave up after losing twice. because otherwise I am only randomly trying to win (sorry my opiniion)
all in all this is a very well made. and the mystery got me involved.
cool game. and fun to play. got bored after I reached 51. I think it would make a better mobile game. I also think there should be more going on (game gets harder with more people)
- maybe increase speed of bar depleting. - or add more colors green - yellow. - switch between buttons(make red become blue an blue red)
also think the gas should just hurt your party (increase bar decay speed or number of people) instead of blocking the screen. just make it do some damage if you don't press the Button.
thanks
seems like a game I would enjoy. but I didn't really get it I think. I love the art and the music is exceptionally good. I am not sure what is the difference between the plane and the bulldozer or the truck and Helicopter
but really nicely done :) I'd love to see more of this. followed your twitter.
mixed feelings here: love the art, the idea, the theme use. on the other hand I didn't find it fun that much.
at first I thought its about playing with lines to make them respond in ways. then discovered that it was about balancing the resources. you need to remember what "type" of letters you have and know your audience before you respond..
overall I enjoyed the experience.
have to ask though . does it have an ending?
just got on leader board with my wife @meme-310 . we played with controllers. just a lovely game you have here.
I wish you were able to jump if your partner is on you.
I loved the use of the theme. making the bar goes smaller if you don't collect is genius.
great job!
I like the mood and the cute aesthetics. got bored half way through but I finished all the planets. wasn't hard.
I like typing so I liked that part. but the balancing act got boring fast.
all in all it was a nice experience. my baby daughter loved watching me playin' 👅
well first off the art was great! the sound track fits the game .. kind off?
I wish the controls were easier. it felt a bit off for some reason. maybe selecting bees should be easier?
I am a bit triphonic got really annoyed by wasps entering the hive through holes X)
so its the one run for me...
this is a really cool game. got a bit bored shortly. maybe it needs a story or something. I didn't feel it needs a lot of skills to catch fish. for harder fish you will just have to wait and get improvements...
how polished and how it works is still amazing and could be a lot more to it of course...
also I have to give it low rating for the theme as it didn't use it very well if at all.
all in all I was amazed by the quality but as a game I didn't find it that much fun or even relaxing in a way that I would love to spend more time in.
but I still find it really cool / polished game. love the visuals and audio.
I was really looking forward to playing this :( web version did not work. and on PC I got stuck at "press C" . when I do the app crashes :(
you sir; clearly know about game design.
I love how the blood is needed as your life and your possess power meter. creates a very risk-reward situation that's actually depends on your skill.
great job with this one. I'd think about expanding more on this.
the sounds were a bit annoying.
I like how you start the game by possessing. built in Tutorial.
all in all. on of the few games that I'd say could be fully-featured + unique at the same time.
well obviously you are trying to do so much here. maybe if your programming was almost done. and you used your engine to make something new with a little bit of coding. you would have the time to do better. ( I mean your basic shooting, sound, controls are solid and build on top of that)
nice work for a jam game...
I couldn't resist but to kill yo-da at the end lol
I like the funny comments and the IK use :D I would like it more if there was a challenge. got bored after a while. didn't want to just keep burning everything. I fear in the end I will have to burn a dog... or my wife :P
also liked destroying everything :D
yes I like it. but there was nothing to solve really. so I don't know if it have more content it will help. because it just about experimenting not actual thinking?
I didn't know what I am doing :) but figured maybe steam will need more heat and tried to get heat from the other circuit and it worked :)
nice entry man.
am I missing something here? or is it just reading? I have nothing against text based games. in fact mine is one. but I didn't do anything here?
good job! like the game and the sounds are funny :D . loved them. the game is real fun but I will give you a quick feedback: - hated that I have to restart the level instead of getting back my animal. - hated that I cannot see the level in free cam or zoomed out way to think about how to solve.
the rest is just lovely ! great job. I really love the sounds
this is really great and creative. Love the game man. holy moly. I played only the first too variations and then it got really hard I think :D
this game is fun. love the controls and everything. I like how polished it is for a jam game. I played it with a controller.. fun stuff :D I got bored after a while because of how easy it is. I think this is easily fixable . maybe add a timer or something
nice game . just lovely. should be a full game on mobile or something for kids :)
couldn't run the game 😢 it looks fun though
fun game bro. I hope only you know that something will get broke and had a slower pace...
most annoying thing is when I try to push some sheeps and they blink behind me.. needs better physics.
cool entry though
everything about the game is awesome. the fire reminded me of the fire in Howl's moving castle movie....
actually when I was brain storming I thought of him :) ended up making a game about fire but in totally different way... give it a try if you will :)
I will finish it later I think because I got died a couple of times
you should mention that you can use your scroll to move objects ;)
can you patch the game after submission? I would like the game more if it was alive while I am actually working and stuff.
also how do you make a game like that in Unity. didn't know that you can do that...
my bear looked very weird when it got old. is this something that happens all the time?
lol this is creepy. nice entry man! hoped it will respond to a bit of random stuff.
I dont know why I could not run the game at all :( after run the game no loading no nothin. installed the Pc version . it was web as well :)
nice one! that moment when it turns into a demon though... wasn't expecting this at all lol. I thought there will be another level with more needs.
didn't feel like playing to finish after I died twice though. did not want to wait again for night to come...
but this is what I like about jams. you dont know anything about the game it will surprise you! good job, nice art music and everything!
nice game bro... real nice... if ever have new content let me know!
I like it. don't like that it has a timer.. I wanted to finish the game
hmmmmmmmm, nice game but I think I got stuck when it kept saying not enough baby needs heat
LD48 — Deeper and deeper (1)
The Falling Knight V.S the Endless Pit of Dark Despair by ilPrinny 2021-08-11T12:09:28Z ♥ 1
this game is really fun! after figuring out the mechanics it became fairly easy
