One of the best story of this Ludum dare I think. And a real work for the ambience.
A lot of situations. It remind me board game (I think it's clearly the main inspiration, with probably the movie apocalypse now). In any case it's complete, interesting and there is a nice atmosphere.
Accessible, efficient, playable with another person, polished, fun, good rereading of pong (or windjammers perhaps): that's what I were thinking when I played your game.
Fun, intelligent, and inspired. Sadly like @dzmitry-pukhouski I was blocked. Is this a bug or am I crap?
"There was supposed to be a message in that room to explain the sudden end" --> original^^. Well done.
A real mind game, each decision seems crucial (it fit with the theme). Actually I found your game very original. I think You've got an interesting concept that could be developed.
Very polished. And it was very fun. One of the most interesting entry I think.
Very efficient!
Sooo neat, and this is a compo? really! It looks like a jam. You're very talented. Great work
I have lessons to take...
A very very impressive entry. You also created a true screenplay. In comparison my shmup entry seems very cheap. So it's a 5/5 for you.
Excellent :gem: A very serious entry with interesting mechanics and a very polished level design. The general design is good: everything is working (pixel art graphics, music). Perhaps the best compo I have played in this Ludum dare
It's totally in-sa-ne!!You made a gba rom that really works on nintendo support. Graphics and musics are as polished as a real professional game. I am speechless...your entry is soooooooooo neat, soooo interesting, so fun. I really really enjoyed it! (I think you understood :wink: )
Very polished with an interesting graphic neogeo-style zoom. You deserve a lot more visibility because your entry is very neat, the gameplay is cool and it's fun. I hope you will be over 20 votes :wink:
I can object the camera panics and it's not easy to bring the sheep back to the sheepfold. Nevertheless I have to admit that you're very talented. And for a single person your work is like shoot down a mountain. Nice entry indeed (congratulation!).
The development of a strategy game is not a peace a of cake in three days. You did well! Nice entry
Firstly it's very interesting, kind, and great that you put your game development timelaps. Then for your entry itself, the concept is interesting and fun. There is an arcade feeling. The graphics are a bit poor, nevertheless this is a compo so I don't throw stone at you.
How stylish. I was hypnotized. It's really neat and It could be an entire game.
Your entry is not only mastered, it is outright professional and funny. You did a super job. Honorary mention for the 3d models that are very polished.
Maaan it's so beautiful (I think I have nothing to add because your entry is very relevant and beautiful).
it only lacks animations and sound feed back to make a success. Because your entry is an experience very original and interesting. in any case I appreciated.
Fresh, fun, original and the graphics really works.
Honestly I'm impressed. There are a lot of feedback, and it's very fun. Hats off to you.
I have to say that your entry is professional and very neat. I loved the picture of the train driver: it's the detail that make me say you are talented. In short a nice game right in the theme.
One of the best musical atmosphere for this Ludum dare. You really need more visibility because your game is fun, the concept is simple and I have to say that your entry is also addictive. Great work and great audacity for having created a musical-game.
The best interpretation of the theme. It's also fun, neat. I bet you will be ranked on top10.
I loved the concept of the sacrified keyboard. :laughing: very funny
It's effective and the power-up system is disturbing (In the good meaning of the term because it's fun).
It sounds terrible, it sounds realistic and it feet the theme. You did also a great job for the atmosphere of your entry. Nice work indeed.
Smooth, dynamic, polished and with an interesting concept. I think I said it all (in any case all I had to say :smile: ).
The main sprite and the music are sweet and so beautiful. For me it was a relaxing experience and it was interesting. I enjoyed your game ;)
Graphicaly it's smooth and there are feed back : you did a great job. Also you're game is polished and I had fun
At first I was thinking about Kentucky route zero (especially the atmosphere). Nevertheless there is a touch of humor that makes me feel something totally different. It's a great experience because you play with the patience and the nerves of the gamer. And you break the wall of the videogame. Honestly I don't think I will find an entry as original as your in this LD43.
Amazing graphic feed-back and visually very original (you made something very interesting with simple geometrical forms, great job). The gameplay is polished and the game itself is addictive. Very fun, very neat.
As exotic as Yoshi. In the steps of the 2D Mario. A very good and neat platformer, with a true narrative structure. It's really a good entry.
I had fun
and i laughed
and I found your concept very interesting.
Nice idea with a real replay value.
it's so nonsense that it could be a Japanese game :joy:
In definitive, it's fun, neat, the gameplay is interesting, and the musics are cool. Very good work.
Damn the mecha sprite is very polished as the visual effects. You created a fun arcade game.
A real work on level design. A good idea with solid graphics. In sum: Pleasant to play
Nice entry
That's work. It rocks. It's so juicy and the music is sooo cool. Also the control of the ship is so smooth.
Well done!
Everything is working perfectly. As a pixel art lover, I can say that you did a great job.
En voilà une idée rondement bien menée (because of your title I speak french).
A good idea that makes you want to play again and again. It was fun and the general ambience is good.
Artistiquement c'est vraiment léché. Mon pc à d'ailleurs un peu souffert avec tout le post-process sur les images.
A consistent job.
In only three days. Wow a solid entry!
fun fun fun!! Clean and the idea of hijacking is pretty intersting
Creepy-ass voices :bat: :bat: and a polished game. I really enjoyed playing at your entry.
I hope I will be the 20th note. I enjoyed the music it reminded me the oldest dragon quest when you are in dungeon (is it a reference of Koichi Sugiyama composer of this series?). In any case that was fun too. And there is a good level design(vicious). So I had a good feeling.
An entry with a real personality in addition of a nice interpretation of the theme. It's very neat, I mean it's very great.
Franchement c'est bien foutu, le concept est intéressant et sied vraiment au thème. La musique et les graphismes apportent en outre un certain cachet.
(in english for everyone): Neat+interesting concept. This entry is right in the theme, and artisticly it's polished. Well done!
Very neat, very cool. I am delighted to have discovered your entry.
*You did a great job for the 8 bits music it's in the mood of the old console.
Graphics artist did a solid work. In 72H it's very consequent
You're right in the theme and your concept is interesting. I was so sad for the tiny creatures.
:ok_hand: cute music for a death race (how ironic) :v: nice pixel art, fun entry pleasant to play
:cool: platformer. I really enjoyed it
It's mastered. The game is pleasant cause it's simple, addictive with the system of shop. Graphicaly it's very interesting (polished) and the audio atmosphere is great. You made a good job.
Well done! You implemented an intro with real voices acting (wow!). graphics are polished and interesting, gameplay and level design are great. Really I'm impressed and it's one of the best entry I have played for this Ludum dare. Keep going...And work communication because it's very important in a gamejam.
it's really well worked and super effective. Professional entry :dark_sunglasses:
Relaxing and addictive. Your concept is interesting. It could be a phonegame with another features.
For me your concept is like Papers please with betterment (I will not make friends among jammers saying this). So it's a good concept very polished.
It's very clean and dynamic. You've got a great idea. It could be a real mechanic in a fps that exceed a gamejam
polished and thoughtful, your entry is pleasant to play. Nice work!
Clearly your entry is above other games. I see clearly that you are pro. So I have only one thing to say: great entry!
Interesting reinterpretation Of tetris that fit the theme of the LD43. Well done, it's fun.
An interesting experience with a lot of contents and ideas. Great humor and (very very) great graphics. It's one of the more beautiful entry i have played.
Very polished. Everything works and there is a real personality in your game. It remind me also Undertales (minigames in battle).
Wonderful idea, artisticly wonderful. You created a game so cool, so peaceful. And the concept based on reality is interesting. I have to say interesting is the best word to definite your entry.
What insects! Your entry is fun and really funny :joy:
It's as frantic as Sonic the hedgehog. Why? I think it's because of the background, the run and the rhythmical music. In any case graphics and music are well worked.
Musical atmosphere is pretty good. It's like a Tetsuya Mizuguchi's creation. Your entry is original and honestly interesting
Simple and effective. It was interesting and fun to avoid the pitfalls. I enjoyed your nice entry.
A very nice interpretation of the theme. I really appreciated the realistic aspect of your game. It is sad but the mechanics are fun (ambivalent isn't it? :smile: ).
A cute game, very pleasant to play. There is a lot of work, I can see it with the amount of details you implemented. There is also a good work on the level design.
A very neat entry.
this volcano is like Kirby: it can be so cute, but basically it's a psychopath. To speak about the game: the concept is simple but efficient. You are clearly in the theme and graphics are nice.
artistically neat. Incredible ambience.
I loved the graphics: very cute and neat, there is a certain sense of composition in your entry.
An interesting interpretation of the theme
**Super Well Done** (that's what comes to my head when I'm playing your game).
A good interpretation of the theme and of the rogue-like. It's original and ingenious. To finish the graphics are pleasant.
I really enjoyed the maniability, the arcade feeling. It was like a return in the late 80's with the graphical atmosphere. I also think your entry is inspired by the movie Running man.
There is something disturbing and fun. The ennemies are particulary vicious, the game too. You are right in the theme. Atmosphere really work too. So you did a good job.
The concept is as interesting as it is hilarious. what do you take in the morning to lay such an idea :smile: In any case it's a nice entry.
Wow the ambience is completely crazy. I'm astonished because 1)it's very neat 2)there is a true stage setting like in cinema. In my opinion your game is very professional and you're talented.
Interesting concept. I had the true feeling of making choices. You're clearly in the theme
ok...just one word: awesome!
Effective, dynamic, neat. Sound feedback are very interesting. The difficulty increase progressively, thereby your game is pleasant to play. Good job ;)
There is a lot of great work. And there is even a tutorial and an online classment (I'm impressed). For the game itself it really works because of the arcade feeling. graphics and sounds are good. Well done!
Nice interpretation of the theme. I had fun, I laughed and I noticed that the mechanisms are interesting.
A polished Lemmings-like. Really pleasant and interesting.
It remind me the old platformers on Nintendo64 and mario sunshine on Gamecube. perhaps this is your inspiration. In any case your game is so polished and so professional. Wow!
The bark function is special...Nevertheless your entry is very interesting. -I loved the visual feedback. Generelay in LD entries graphics are frozen. But you made a real effort. -It's fun -The level design is good
Nice game.
I like to discover by chance a polished game in the games menu. And I found your entry! So I have to say that: there are lovely mechanics + a good interpretation of the theme + cute graphics + a sound design that seves your game. Unfortunately I'm too far (and I haven't the time in the immediate future to travel somewhere) to take a beer with you. That's why I will not publish my score.
Polished and very dynamic. Jammer you worked well :wink:
The idea of "you've already made your choices" is very great and original
Excellent interpretation of the theme served by a good musical atmosphere. Your entry is very original for a jam and sadly realistic outside the limits of the jam. In any case it's an interesting game. Good work!
Somewhere between Katamari damacy and Rednex Cotton eye Joe. Lol it was so fun. You did a cool entry.
It's a good idea to have put an introduction. Your entry let me think of a phonegame. I also have to say that The mechanics are interesting.
I love rail shooters, so I can only appreciate your entry :wink: In any case the music is very great and dynamic like your entire game otherwise. Nice job!
Your game looks really good (the idea is very interesting). Too bad I haven't a mac :pensive:
A real work of author, and a funny writing. It remind me Earthbound in certain aspects. I loved the consequences of the choices.
The notion of sacrifice make sense in your entry: I had to make choices in my "inner heart". In any case it's an original concept somewhere between jeopardy and tragedy.
Very dynamic. And I have to say it reminded me the battle phases of Azel Panzer Dragoon. Interesting, polished, fun, original. It was a fresh experience.
I'm a bit lost with the gameplay (what are exactly the objectives). Nevertheless it's smooth, pleasant and relaxing (especially the music). I think you had to itemize the description of your game, because for the player once the investment is made your game is interesting. It's still a good job :wink:
yes, a very funny entry. There are a lot of interactions : you did a great job
Simple and efficient. I enjoyed your game.
the gameplay and the graphics make me think of old atari ST2600 games. The background of your entry seems very philosophical. In any case your game works.
Damn, you have set the bar too high^^ Really I'm impressed. And everything work perfecly : sound, gameplay, graphic design.
the idea is so ingenious!
Toys commander (on dreamcast) + toys story + reflexion + neat graphics + interesting gamaplay = a polished entry.
You were alone. Nevertheless you did a work as productive as a team work.
You did well to share your game on the main page. Because I was able to play your game, and I really enjoyed it! Why? --> cause it's accessible, intelligent, fun, it is right in the theme. So it's neat.
A polished entry that serves a serious project and a serious work. You are very implicated in your project and this is visible. Particulary I have to say that there is a great work on the backgrounds. Hope the best for the future of your project.
The kind of entry that you want to play and replay. In effet it's fun and polished
Neat and clever. You did a great job.
I really enjoyed it. Your game is sooo funny. It was very pleasant to play
A creepy romance somewhere between Slovnia and a weird dimension. In any case your entry is funny, fun and interesting. It's a good job and a nice interpretation of the theme
Very interesting to play. I liked the mechanic of thinking about how many shuriken I had to sacrifice
Good mood with good situations and good music. I would have liked more.
You're talented:
-Mechanics are very cool -this game is solid -Level and sound design works
Easy to understand. Fun. Clean. Musicaly and graphicaly interesting. What else?
A very good entry. Nice job!
An entry so streetcredible. Dude it's a thug punch on my face.
For a first jam, wow it's mastered. Very nice art-style, with a lot of work I guess. And more interesting you did a good interpretation of the theme and you incorporated a real story. I have to say: good job!
Very neat. You did that in 72H, I'm impressed.
Everything is working. I believe you did a perfect entry.
A thousand of Thank you for your feed back. We did our best during this jam and it was very difficult because we were only two : one developer and one graphic artist. @cannedtuna nice that you saw the references. We wanted a touch of humor in this game.
@FireSlash: YES shoot'em up was a difficult challenge in my opinion
@vimlark: parallax was too consequent for us in 72H. Nevertheless we would have liked implement it
**We are very thankful for all your comments!**
@royur (also @everybody) **references patchwork:** -Big Bob: movie>inside-out ; picture: tom cruise in Topgun -Steel colossus: movie&picture>himself! -Russel Casse: movie&picture>independence day 1 -Victor Vyper: a reference of a game serie>gradius (the name of the spaceship is Vic Viper); picture>Val Kilmer in Topgun -Vasteel thunder: games>Thunder force ; picture>DiCaprio in Catch me if you can
@secretpocketcat: ...yes with hindsight it's very phalic. Nevertheless it was not our intention. We only wanted to create a design inspired by torpedo weapon
@prodigalson @prema @jevgeni-orehhov @justcamh .....@everybody
-Firstly Thank you for all your constructive comments -Then: we wanted to implement a nice effect of parallax indeed. Nevertheless we were only two persons for that jam. So we had to make sacrifices (lol mise en abîme^^) -Other sacrifices: a dash with artisitic effects ; a mecha for the 2nd level that chase you ; and last but not least: some sprites I created are not insered (*sob *sob)
@agwblack : effectively we missed something...you had a good idea indeed!
@corbak @kaipi @avi @chrismcmath @sockman @schmavery @peterfonts @king-kujito @franciszek-pyrc : Thank you. Your comments warm my heart, because this is rewarding and constructive. You too @captainpilot thank you: a harsh comment make go forward.
@sorlok @linus @najmm @knarf @honey @shieldgenerator7 : T.H.A.N.K__Y.O.U!!!!!! and my bad for the parallax> it was too late for implement it at the end of the 3days. That bothered the developper and me too.
Post mortem facts @everybody: As you could see the coin-op style was voluntary added to fit with the sacrifice theme, and with the story we created for the game. We are not so cruel normaly :smirk: :smile:
Mais c'est super original! Au début on se dit que le jeu n'est pas abouti. Cependant au fur et à mesure des parties le jeu prend de la densité. En clair l'investissement est récompensé, donc une très bonne replay-value.
In english for everybody : A very original concept because this game brings all its flavor as and when you play. A good replay value.
+It was a pleasure to play at your (very) fun game with a controller
+Good use of music
+Graphics are so cute
+You're right in the theme
Nice entry
It remind me Gauntlet. A difficult game but an Interesting entry.
I have to say that Honestly graphically it's very professional.
Just love it.
For me : One the best entry of the LD47.
Why ? >graphics
>Art direction
>Sound
>Ideas
>gamelay
>Leveldesign
>Nervous
>Feel
Too good
I have to admit it's a nice idea and an interesting point of view of the theme. Good work.
Not fan of the textual games. But I must admit I had a good laugh, and the text are well written.
Damn.. It's so professional.
Everything works : Interpretation of the theme, sounds, graphics...
Very excellent to play (F.U.N!), very solid entry.
There is one more thing : You put a true ambience in your game, and it's not common for a LD entry
So I think I found the most beautiful game of this LD47. Astuning art direction too. I must admit I had chosen watercolor style for my game, but your execution of that style is a step above mine (maybe a lot of steps I think :smile: )
Pretty fun. Well executed. The idea is very cool and I really enjoyed the experience. I must admit that the sound design really works with the vibe of the game
Polished entry. The view, the effects and the camera are very nice. Gameplay is also interesting, and your game is quite consequent. Nice work !
Tough work to develop a multiplayer game in only three days.
It reminded me Dark souls for the community side. Sadly there were no other players. In any case a good idea, a good entry.
Damn the animations are mastered. The graphist did a really impressive work. I have to admit that I spent more time watching graphism than playing. Nevertheless gameplay is solid. A great entry for me. Nice work !
I can see a true mechanic of lasso and it works (that's what I wanted to implement in my game, but because of time...). The gameplay is fluid, and graphically it's interesting
A good use of the rhythm style. A good interpretation of the LD47 theme.
Thank you for playing our game, and a thousand of thanks for your feedback.
-In three days we made sacrifices like >take off a lasso mechanic ;
>leave particles effects (my bad :sob: ) ;
>fix the background layer for the webplayer and some details
-I think gameplay is not always obvious. >bandit pattern is quite easy in the first days, it can be destabilizing
>it is not said in the game but you have to bring back the bandit in jail
>When you have to choose "yes" or "no" it influences the ending of the game. Maybe try to say one yes or two no consecutively
There are a lot of things we should have worked on more. Some details to improve, or some choices concerning mechanics. Nevertheless in three days you know it was very hard (especially because of the tough theme think).
An experimental game between John McLaughlin and a Tetsuya Mizuguchi creation. Beautiful backgrounds, contemplative music. Relaxing entry in sum
When I understood the mechanics (2nd or 3rd run, and after pressing X..) I figured out that was a solid entry:
-Atypical graphics
-Interessant gameplay fits with player's skill
-Good level design
You made something very personnal (not common) and this is the essence of a ludum dare. Well done !
It reminded me wario ware : a very nice cartoon style that fits with a cool music and a delusional style. Well done !
I loved the atmosphere.
Chill'n visually nice !
A good view of the theme. A polished entry. You did a great job, and I had fun.
Clean work: graphics match with sound design. It's quite fun, patterns of ghost works. I was involved in the game, foes were giving me difficulty (it's a good point for a runner).
In only three days you made an entry like that. Wow stuning.
There is something artisanal in the conception that i like. When I was playing, I was thinking it could be a mechanic of a room in Zelda. Not tell me why i don't know :smile: In all cases it fits with the thematic, well done.
Fun. Intersting. An arcade feeling. A puzzle game feeling.
...Maybe it's a puzzle-arcade-plateformer with a Portal style.
In any case I enjoyed it
Mood : 5 stars
As mere as good. Nice storytelling, nice staging, nice music. With a progressive difficulty (damn moving arrows... :smile: ). In fact I'm surprised, and I have to say that it's a nice entry
Great idea, not easy to develop, but you did well. Also good acting for the voice.
