Great game! The art is very good, and the gameplay and music keeps you on the edge to not falling of your ship, when the other guys come in. I like that you choose pixel art for this, is the kind of games in which pixel art contributes greatly to the game. As other said, double jump may be good for the game. Nice work anyway!
Well done! The game is very consistence and run well. The graphics are amazing, and the sound did their job. The particle effect are nice too. Congrats on the entry.
Nice graphics! The gamplay is fine for the game. I really like the animation when the robot enter the ship when the level is completed. Nice job ;)
I won the game! Good job!
Well, the idea is good. The graphics need work, but for a LD are fine. The sounds are not the best, when they are attacking the fences, the noise is not good, although it does the job of knowing how many are attacking by the amount of noise. Also is hard as hell, I didn't last much every time I played. Since the player control only the refrigerator and need to go back and forth all the time, there is no much time to defend properly.
In my opinion, it just need balance, maybe distributing the little mices around the field more closely to the batteries whould help.
Also you may write a proper description in this page of how to play, I need to figure it out by my self and at first it wasn't clear, also because the refrigerator appears behind a battery at the start of the game.
Other than that, good job on the entry!
It's is well designed, the character speed is a little slow though and the wood fire fade out too quicky. Other than that I like the game. The graphics are good and the sounds did the job. Congrats on the entry. ;)
It's was fun throwing the head to the enemies. The graphics are very good, and the music and sounds set very well the mood of the game.
Nice puzzles!
Nice puzzle game. The idea is very interesting, keep developing it to explore the space of the puzzles that can be built with that mechanics. Great work!
The idea of the game is good. Promising for a more large and polished game. Great work!
The game is nice. I didn't like so much the audio, it was typical for car driving, but sometimes it feel to harsh. About the gameplay, is easy get rid of the cars, but it's also easy that a car trap you to crash. Of course you can accelerate, but just by accelerating you can't get rid of the other cars. It just a matter of balance, not big deal. Other than this, well done!
Good job!
Very good game. The puzzles are great. Although, as other people mentioned, the batteries/lamp/thing was hard to manipulate and keep falling to the ground whenever accidentally I hit something. Nevertheless, very good job!
It's awesome! The particle effect are great.
This game is fun to play. Shooting at the guys and abducting them... jaja, cool!
Nice game! A little easy sometimes, but fun to play.
Well done! Is a well executed cool idea.
Very good game! The graphics and the particle systems are amazing. Great job!
Nice game, the mechanics are simple yet it's hard to get far without any mistake. Good job!
The last level was hard! Good job!
Hard at first to find the proper way to play, but fun after you figure it out. Good job!
Nice game! ;) The game in google drive is in a folder, I'll helpful if there is a .zip to download the whole game at once.
Nice game. The mechanics are simple, and the patterns of the enemies predictable, but it's fun. The graphcis are ok, also the sounds.
It is a good game. Nice particle effects and gameplay. The music did fit well with the theme and the game in general.
One thing with collecting the ghosts, it seems that you used rigidbody and collisions for that (or otherwise there is a little bit of lag when you collect them), maybe it's best to use only triggers, to not collide with the geometry of the ghost and stop the movement. Also a sound effect when collecting would be nice.
Other than that, nice game!
Very funny, the toaster trying to avoid the whatever-the-monsters-are. Searching for the missing bread. The graphics are good, and for the gameplay, probably better responsive for succesive key presses. Otherwise, great work, congrats.
Good job. Probably need a little feedback to the player when a generator or laser tower can't be placed because of the money. Otherwise, is nice game.
This game is awesome! The mechanics are very well designed, the graphics are just what the game need. It's incredible you put this in a jam. Congrats! ;)
This was one of the best game I played here on LD39. Really good. The strategies to win are not easy find (although it seems like everyone really like pork :)). The game is well balanced, I keep you entertained to not let people die or lose a city. I played for at least 30 minutes. Great work!
Very nice game. Top down race car are always a classic, with simple mechanics but fun race in the track. Graphics and music are good, sound effects probably not much, but that's nothing. Great work!
Nice job! The game run well, graphics are fine for the game and it was fun to kill the monters. ;)
Nice game. I like the thinking of the strategies and decision making for remain president of Zorga. There is really something valuable there. Develop the concept some more, and you have a very good game. For now, good job on the entry.
Good idea. The music for me was a little creepy for this game (or type of game). Other than that, great work!
Good job on the game! The controls are a little confusing to me, prefer the mouse to aim and WASD to move. Other than that, good graphics, sound effects and gameplay. Congrats!
Hey, good work! The game is so simple that it's almost the best of it. The levels are very well designed for the fast pace of the game. The music do it's job setting the rhythm. I lost quite a few times, but it's one of those games that you can't quit until you beat it. I like it a lot.
Nice game. The graphics and the audio are good. I think the balls give a little power to the battery of the player, other than that, good entry.
Good job!
It's a cool idea, although the game didn't work very well for me, for some reason I couldn't create new servers and when the admin was fixing it, more message keeps arriving and reset the work of the admin. Nevertheless, good work on creating a game! ;)
The idea is good. The mech is a little difficult to handle with the controls, but I guess that's part of the game. Good work!
Looks good!
The game is pretty good. Good job!
Wow, really interesting idea! I like it a lot. The environment is really dark and hard to navigate, but I guess that's the whole point. The transferring mechanics allow you to make it without falling. The only thing to watch out I guess, is avoiding that the player not keep moving the mouse everywhere to see if the pointer goes red and there is a light source there. Other than that, good job!
The simulation is good, also the idea. The graphics are ok, and it could really use some sound effects and music. Good job!
Surprisingly fun. I realize I had been playing after a while. Very entertaining, and the levels well designed. Great job!
I like it. It remind me of the Battletoad flying motorbikes level. As the velocity goes up, it was really hard to avoid the red balls, and the power decreases too fast. The graphics are really nice, though. Anyway, congrats on the entry.
The concept is really interesting. If you dedicate more time, and make enough quality art and polish the ideas, I think you'll have a good game worth selling in Steam of something. Good work.
Hilarious game! Very fun idea. The graphics and the controls are a little under, but it compensates with the fun of playing it. Good job.
Cool concept. I enjoyed typing with the rush of not falling sleep, and making coffee. Great!
@littlelegend @cowa Yeah, I agreed the theme is almost not there, sorry for that, maybe next time. Thanks for the comments anyway. ;)
@minibobbo Thanks for the feedback! I'll check out the sprite scaling as you suggest, it maybe improve the graphics on Bob. Also will hunt the bug to keep it bug-free :slight_smile:
The mechanics that not allow Bob go over arrows that aren't facing him are on purpose and I design the puzzles with that in mind, but now with more time I'll test your idea.
@isaac-plunkett @marc-grabow The game now shouldn't have the bug that caused the power coins to disappear when zoomed. Thanks for the feedback! ;)
@cmisc Yeah, I'm working on it, not easy though. :smile: Thanks for the review.
@belga54 Thanks for the review. I'll check on your advice.
Nice art!
Nice graphics and the music very good for the theme of the game. The clicky mechanics workd very well for this kind of game, there is something addictive to keep going, and going... Good work!
The mechanics to move the character a little difficult for me, always find out pointing towards the wolfs. Also couldn't find many hamsters to place more than a couple of lamps. That's just me, I'm a crappy player ;)
Well done with the game!
For me the controls are a bit off, and the jump doesn't feel right. For any reason I couldn't use the dash movement most of the time, maybe I didn't understand how it work. Nevertheless, great work! The art, sound and music do their jobs and set the mood of the game. Congrats.
@cmlsc Oh, I see, my bad, I should've paid more attention.
Very good game. The graphics and audio did a good job on the game. The puzzles are well designed. Well done!
Nice game. It's very hard once you get various diseases, but still beateable. Good job!
Great work! The collisions could be better, but the overall is very good.
Despite the game isn't complete, I saw that was going in a good direction. At least, the primary objetive of speak of the anxiety in the game was sort of accomplished. The dark areas, and the hallucinations give the sensation at least. Good job, anyway, keep working on it.
This game was very nice to play. Congrats on doing it in 48h, quite impressive.
It's awesome that this game was made in 72h. I followed the stream of HardlyDifficult since friday and know that a lot a people help in the creation of the game, congrats to all of them.
This game is fun to play. The humor is great, and the choices are well balanced, I think. Good job!
The concept is nice. The realtime component I'm not sure, but surely is an innovation. Good job! I'll come back to rate it.
The idea is very interesting. I think you have proven the concept for a mobile/tablet game. Great work!
Good job. The graphics and the music are good. I would like it a little more dynamic in terms of the speed, though.
Good job! I play it for a while and it's fun. I'll come back to proper rating it.
The intro was very good, the acting an voices are well done. There is humor too, that's nice. The game itself hasn't a new concept but it's well done. The graphics are good. The controls could be better, though. Nice job, anyway.
I like the game. The idea is very good, and it adjust the theme perfectly. Great work!
The first levels are somewhat easy, but in level 5 the areas are small and with negativities enough to make the challenge of the game. The switching idea is nice, it give the player the sense of urgency to stay save after a while and not waste any time. It will more interesting if the negativities have any AI and not just move random. In general, very good job! Congrats.
Nice work putting this together in 48h. Sad there is only one level, but good job anyway.
@nax-89 Thanks for playing. I'm not from Argentina, I'm from Cuba currently living and working in México. The creator of Fidel play this game and like it, maybe with better graphics and a little more time to put on the design of the levels make a good game worth of publishing. No soy de Argentina, soy de Cuba actualmente viviendo y trabajando en México. El creador de Fidel jugó este juego y le gustó, quizás con mejores gráficos y un poco más de tiempo para diseñar los niveles hagan de éste un buen juego que valga la pena publicar.
@eric-florio Yeah, it's possible to some extent. There is a moment in which you need bigger board, however a board of 5x5 or 6x6 should be enough for a considerable number of puzzles. In this case I just want to test the different sizes and see how it goes. Thanks for playing.
@cubeeo Hi, thanks for playing the game. The idea of the game was simply to test the mechanic, and I guess it work well based on the comments. Probably I spend some time trying to make other puzzles that I find interesting. I know about the lack of in-game information about the exact number of heart that the player need to pass the level, but I decided to leave it that way since I had already uploaded the game and was a few hours after the deadline that I realize the mistake. It's also not a big deal I guess. About the picture, I guess you can post it, at the end there are many solutions to each puzzle and it probably encourage the players to find other solutions.
@terracottafrog Thanks for playing. Yeah, I should've put more attention to the design of the puzzles and the curve of difficulty levels. About the graphics, I've almost 0 skills to make art, and even for this game, I spend more time making the sprites than writing the code. I guess I should practice more, and get a better at it.
@rombus Thanks for playing. Probably was because you has more hearts than you need to finish the level. The UI of the game doesn't tell you that you picked up more hearts than you needed, that is my bad.
@zinkler I know what you say about the number of hearts. To be honest, I didn't put much thought on that, probably implementing the mechanics and doing the art. It would probably be a better game having to collect all hearts. I also thought of other mechanics in regard the monsters which I didn't have time to implement. Thanks for playing anyway.
Nice game! The idea is simple, and enjoyable. I also read the article about how it went during the weekend, and it's cool that you all have fun making the game. Good job!
The concept is great and the implementation (graphics, sounds, etc.) are just what the game needed. Good job!
Nice game, I enjoyed. Like how the people start dancing anywhere...
Great job! The idea is well executed. Although doesn't have sounds, the game itseft is enjoyable. It remind me to the little games that I use to play back in the '90. A lot of fun getting high scores and combos. Congrats!
Nice game. The collisions aren't the best but it's fun to play it. Good job!
Nice job! The game adjust very well to the theme. A little sound effects and music would be nice. Congrats on your first entry.
This game is a little weird, but I think it has a point, and is interesting to play it. Good job!
Nice game. I'm joining to other pleople about the death effect beign too harsh, but playing the game is fun. If you say you built the engine for the game, congrats on that as well. Good job!
That's cool! I saw the video, and it's running well. Let's see what other games can be programmed in there. Good job! I've a Raspberry PI and I want to build a handheld console myself. Maybe I need to get back to it, and finally finish it.
Nice little game. I like the simple mechanic of keep everything in balance. Good job!
This is the best game I've played here so far. Is very very good. The graphics and the audio are terrific. And the voices, and the humor! 😱 Are awesome! Congratulations for this entry to all who worked. Is very very good (_I know I wrote this twice_).
Really good, I don't have a streming twitch account, but I played with tiger_j and it's really good. Very funny. Incorporate the people on the twitch chat into the game is genius. Congrats!
I liked the strategy of chosing what piece to use, considering the space left and the energy. Good job!
The theme is in the game as the sacrifice the main character must do to save the little ones. If the player collect all the antidotes, it barely reach the end alive, and some times the player reach the end just in time to pick the last antidote and die, but saving all the little ones. I'm glad you like it. Thanks for playing!
@dougdevs Thanks a lot for the review and the feedback.
- The game could be a lot better with some visuals effects, like the one you mention with the disappearing platforms, the cannon bullets hitting the wall or the player, the spikes when hit the ground and the saws when hit the player. I just didn't have time (probably due to poor time management during the jam).
- You are right, I should put that you can run and double jump to make it explicit.
- The game pretends that the player explores the rooms looking for the antidotes, taking into account the remaining time to finish the level.
- I personally think the art isn't good, and I did with a small palette to restrict myself and not to have too many options, because I'm terrible doing art.
- I probably know what room you mean, and if you are going to full speed yes maybe you fall into the spikes, eventually I will fix that too.
There are various endings depending on how many antidotes you get, and obviously the very good ending is the one when you finish on time with all the antidotes and yourself alive.
Thanks for playing, and for all the feedback.
@joqlepecheur Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked it.
I wanted to do two things, at the start you come down in an elevator (I wanted to place the game in sort of an underground facility) to get you to the start, and at the end you climb and go to the village when you see your outcome depending on how many antidotes you collect. I didn't have the time to do those things, and I was making changes 10 min before the deadline (this probably due to a poor time management, but well...).
Anyway, thanks for you feedback.
@gamepopper The sacrifice part of the game comes when you can ignore the sick kids and go straight to the end, not saving any, or just a few (if you pick some of the antidotes) or when you decide to sacrifice yourself to save all the little ones. Unfortunately the game doesn't make clear any of this choices, but it should be clear with at least two playthroughs and two different endings.
@secretpocketcat the corridor of fuckery :smile: can be passed without a hit when running, with the Shift or X in the gamepad you can run and go faster, so the spikes doesn't hurt you.
@secretpocketcat Thanks for the further feedback.
I did the WebGL build with the 2018.2.18f1 version of Unity, maybe some issue of the browser loading the audio assets? it happen once? or every time? In my experience WebGL versions are still somewhat glitchy.
Don't know why your gamepad doesn't work properly, I can only test with the xbox 360 controller, I assume you use that controller in other Unity games, so it should be a configuration issue then?
Anyway, thanks again for the feedback.
@secretpocketcat Could you test the controller with the PC/Linux/Mac build version? Maybe it only happen with the web build.
@saoi-games Thanks for playing it!
@ursagames Thanks for playing!
@elysiagriffin Thanks for playing! It is very supportive every time you play LD games, thank you!
Interesting idea, you make your choices and can't go back. Good job!
Nicely done, very accurate 😅.
Very good! This is a very polished game, good job!
Very good job, the concept is not new (the Lemmings-like game is what more fit into the theme for this jam) but is very well done. The graphics are very nice, and the sounds and music set the mood very well. Good job!
Very good! 😁 Capture.PNG
I must say that this was a relaxing experience, I started it in windowed mode, and had to switch to fullscreen to fully appreciate the art and the music. Very good job!
The game is good, the graphics are excellent and the audio pretty good too.
When the speed reach certain point is almost imposible to control anything, you can move the rocket around, but that doesn't change the fact that you can't avoid most things (no reaction time) and the ones you do avoid is mostly because they weren't in your way in the first place. At that point, the only thing you can do, is wait to the shield and EMP to charge and use it. The rapid succession of quick short turns was a problem too for me, didn't feel that I was in control of the rocket most of the time, and only was playing to use the EMP and the shield thing.
For the Threadpoints, I never understood how to position the rocket to not crash there.
Most of the time I didn't touch the controls, and notice that if you stay in the center and because the positions of the obstacles are randomly generated (I assume) you can get pretty far.
On the part of the sacrifice, I did not feel at any moment for the humans that were being sacrificed, and only the audio sample of the screams did not transmit it.
In general is a good entry, with excellent graphics.
_(I tried to be honest here, since I received very good feedback when you played my game on the stream)_
Very well done, the game has a strategy to not to get any ascending slope because it doesn't care how fast you are, it will slow you down a lot. Probably when the normal of the surface and the direction of the player are the most opposite it cancel the speed a lot. The art is good it wil probably better with some animations. It probably helpful to know how far behind is the whale when it get out of screen. Overall, good job!
Interesting story with amazing art. Congrats!
Nice graphics. Mouse look around was a little odd, it could jump to different viewing angles. Good job, otherwise.
I had some fun playing this little game, I'm terrible at coordination games like this one, but I manage to survive a couple of minutes. Good work!
This is a good game, fun, addictive with awesome art and animations. Great work!
This is a good game. It's not new anymore the idea of a puzzle game that involves tiles of a meta puzzle, but if the game is interesting enough and with good puzzles it's a great game. Good work!
This is a very good game! The balance between the distinct factors of the game is very good. The types of enemies are well designed and times and compositions of the waves as well. The only complaint I've is that the cursor is very hard to see, I don't know where I'm aiming at. It took me a while for me to realize how I could get the flowers and dirt of the top part. Otherwise, solid entry!
@sheetcode @steve-dragon I'll look into that issue.
@steve-dragon Yeah, I miss one text when you manage to recover all patients, maybe I update that bit later.
@brian-teng Well, it wasn't that intentional, patients without ventilation can always recover based on a random choice, so switching the ventilator back and forth may have that effect if the random goes negative serveral times in a row for some of the patients.
@no-grapes-games Yeah, I didn't do anything extra to make possible the switching of the ventilator once you are already there, I decided to leave it that way to not introduce another key into the gameplay. Thanks for taking a look at the code too!
Thanks all for playing it and review it.
@epicular I think what you experienced there is some simplistic way of seeing what nurses and doctors have to cope with nowadays. I was the goal of the game although there is lot of stuff that could be improved for the gaming aspect of the project. Thanks for playing it!
@bilbycoder Yes, switching patients to unused ventilator-beds is one of the things that could make this a real time management game. Thanks for playing it!
@yonman Yes, you're a hero!
This is a good game, interesting choices that the player learn with each day. Graphics and animations are very good. Gameplay feels solid. Good work!
Good puzzles with minimal interaction. A little clumsy sometimes on the animations but not a big deal. I enjoy it. Good job!
Interesting turn of events on the monsters ravaging your store... I wanted desperately to save the store, but it's hard! One thing I couldn't figure out is if I could bring two ice cream to two different people, it would be nice, I tried but didn't work. Graphics are simple but do the job and the music although repetitive, catchy. Nice work!
I've fun playing this game cracking the codes. Reminds me of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. Good work!
Sometimes you lose track of advancing when there are no nearby meteorites that keep you the perspective. In general controls can be difficult, but somewhat fun to play. It's dangerous in indeed, I lose almost every time by health than by lack of resources. Other than that, good graphics and good work.
Typical arcade game. It seems that there a slightly offset on the aim. Good work!
Interesting narrative, awesome graphics! Well done!
This is an interesting idea. It set the stage to make combinations and learn strategies to keep the forest alive. Very good!
The art is good, the platforming gameplay could feel a little clumsy, but not a big deal. Good levels too.
Graphics and animations are awesome and the story line is well written. Congrats!
I like the DOOM vibe of this game, just running, shooting and escaping the fire wall. It's really cool. The graphics and the gameplay are very nice. Congrats!
This game is awesome!!
The combination of the auto-runner and the puzzles made perfect sense in terms of the progress of the game, the more you advance the harder the puzzle when you loose. The auto-runner is great, minimalistic, with nice animations and the music fit very well.
Great job!
Very good! The art is amazing, and the mechanics of typing the letter to shoot the evil chairs and fans is unique. Great job!
Great work! It was fun to play it, the music and sounds were great for the theme.
This is a really good game.
I don't know if is too much, I mean with all the variations, four characters, the floor is lava, rpg stuff and the puzzles themself. The problem is that the player can track so many things at once, and I found myself several times just focusing in one character and see if the others don't die. If others die in the run, I see if I can save it buy just not focusing too much on that one, unless there are buttons that I should press simultaneously. Don't know if all of this make any sense.
On the other hand, the art and music of the game is great, and the puzzles are very intesting. I'm impress with all the stuff you could put in the game in 48h.
Great job!
This is a great game. I like the chasing of the cards to become the master and the riddles are well designed. If you pay attention you might find the 12 cards. The audio set the mood very well and the pixel art is nice. Good job!
Well, this is an awesome little game. I'm sure this is the way Miyamoto prototype the Zelda games 😜. Who needs AAA graphics, right?
I manage to beat Z in the first run, wasn't too hard, just 4 or 5 bullets with weapon #4 and done! The Challenge mode is insane, though.
Very well done!
Well, I think you may have invented a new genre 😜. The idea is very interesting and you should keep developing it. You can consider this as a prototype, take the feedback, and make a whole games out of this concept. Nice work!
Nice job, a tactical 3D FPS that works well. It remind me of Worms, I totally can see having a lot of fun with this type of game, just need more variations and polish.
Really interesting game. I think there is more that can be discover here. Great job!
Nice idea, the puzzling behavior of knowing which face of the dice to shoot is quite interesting, good job!
Nice concept with cool graphics, good job!
This was a good entry. The clicker + strategy combination is good. I think you have a prototype here for a bigger game, just add more graphic stuff and ship it! :D Great work!
Nice little game! The graphics and music fit very well the style of the game.
Didn't make that much points, less after seen @joltjab made his 600... :)
Nice job! The graphics are good and the mechanics interesting, you can add more variations and keep exploring the mechanics, I'm sure you will find super good stuff. Mine was a turn-based platformer as wel, you can check it out here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/think-before-escape
This game is cool, the music and the solos!! are great. Nice graphics also.
Good job. My game is similar but not with simultaneosly movement. The concept is pretty interesting as can lead to really cool puzzles. The replay feature is really really interesting, you can se the whole realtime playthough of the level, mostly because as a player, when solving the level, you only see the level one step at a time, and see the realtime version is very cool.
For some reason I ran into a bug in Level 2, where when I jump to a platform, the rock only stop at the initial position of the platform and not a little up since the platform already have moved. I played in Chrome. It did happen again when I refreshed the browser.
Nice job!
Very nicely done!
The mix between the genres is a little weird but interesting. Probably the chasing ghosts are too hard to avoid because it seems to change the target position (where the player is) every frame, it probably needs a little more randomness on that to make it easier to select the card, aim and throw.
Good job with the graphics and audio. and with the game in general. :)
Amazing work! It can capture an state that I'm sure so many people had/has. The art is simply beautiful, and the music, and the atmosphere is great too. Best of its type so far. Great work!
PD: I'm sure https://twitter.com/CheckPointOrg will be interested in your game. They're group of people doing stuff around mental health issues with videogames, and showcase this type of game is one of the things they do.
Good game overall.
It probably need a little more improvements in the AI, it can be fooled very easily. Probably you can turn the field of view of the guard robots while it's moving. Also have a sense of proximity that when the player is too close, it will be detected.
The graphics are very good, for some reason the camera field of view doesn't render correctly. The audio it's also very good, set the stealth mood very well.
Congrats, this was a good entry.
This is a good game, I would prefer a video game genre incompatibility, but the jam doesn't specify the genre type, so there is no fault on that.
Sometimes the mice appear in a corner of the screen, and it is hard to catch. I think that it shouldn't be because of that that you can't catch a mouse, but this is a minor and easy fix.
I would have wanted some music and sounds, to set the mood of the game. But hey, for a compo entry is forgiven, I didn't do music in mine.
Otherwise, good job!
Nice idea. I think it would more interesting if the words were in a some sort of word cloud. Good job!
@Serious07 Please, don't forget to come back and rate it. Thanks.
@pandademic42 Done, let me know if you can play it, I don't have a Mac to test it :)
@pandademic42 Thanks for playing! I force the windowed because I only design the levels for 19:6 resolutions and windowed mode is a way to ensure that resolution. So, anyway, I'm glad you could play it in windowed mode. I think you meant to upload an image to the reply but I don't see it.
@pandademic42 Well that part is early in the game, there are like 10 more screens. The flying dude (that's the code name for that enemy XD) in that screen doesn't fly too far to the left side, you need to figure it out while is in the right side.
@RobinbyZhou Yeah, I notice that when I was playtesting it, hard to fix though.. Thanks for playing.
@PadenPierry Thanks for playing!
@PadenPierry Don't know, I just upload them. I made them with GifCam at 16 FPS, all other settings by default.
@Gamekrazzy Thanks for playing it! Yeah I try to make music for the game, buy I'm as bad as I'm with graphics and I think all my energy went to the graphics this time.
I did notice that in the later stages the player has to wait a little too much to synchronize platforms and flying dudes, but I also found that is a little hard to fix that part since the synchronization dependes on how you played and how much time you do in the previous levels.
I don't finish your game yet, but I'll and leave you a proper review when I finish it. :)
@GastricSparrow Well the increment of the time is precisely to increase the posibilities in the design of the levels. It's true that it looses speed, but well, I guess I have to think about that to refine the design. Thanks for playing!
@Rocktavious I haven't consider that the platform move only when is the enemies turn, I'll consider it now! Thanks for play it.
@candlesan Yes, this is the major critique of the game, I did notice before publishing but at the time I didn't have (still haven't) a good idea of how to solve it, because it depends on how many clocks the player picked up, nd how many time is spent in previous screens. This is something that needs work. Thanks for playing!
@Blinkenlights Yeah, probably the flying dudes need improvements. One of them could be showing some sort of indicator of the area they are covering, and the other could be what you suggested, I'll look into it to see what works best. Thanks for playing!
@D-Studios It certainly have elements of a Metroidvania game, mostly the camera movement through the levels.
@cristiano.m.garcia I already have rated and reviewed your game. It's a good and interesting game.
@SecretPocketCat Thanks for playing and for the feedback, helps a lot!
@Bartosz Wow, thanks for the detailed feedback, all of that will go to my notes. I'm glad you enjoy it, thanks for playing! I also played and reviewed your game, and is very good.
@ProdigalSon Thanks for playing and for the feedback. There was no button to skip the player's waiting turn, but I have it on my notes now. ;)
@Bartosz I'm really considering it, because the feedback from all the players has been awesome, and I want to see if there something here if I spend more than 48h (much more, of course).
On a second read of your review:
I want to say that I know about the bad things in the game, in terms of art and music, and above all it's because my skills in those areas are very primitive, and I have no idea how to do nice things, except in code: P. So I always end up doing something not very pretty, although I must say that this is my best work of pixel art XD.
Early in the development of the game I notice the "bug" about the player been able to walk "on the level", but left it there because I wanted to do some kind of Mario warpzone/shortcut thing, but in the end I didn't. However, it was fun to watch some of the streamers (and also you) try to walk "on the game", and see the reaction when they think they found a hidden passage, but they aren't. I really regret not having put at least one in the game, because it would have been much cooler.
Anyway, I don't have on my records anyone who played it twice and say it in publicly, so thanks you very much for playing again!
This was interesting. Good storytelling, graphics and sounds. Good job!
Nice game! Amazing graphics and animations. It could use a little music, but overall very fun game. Congrats.
Really cool concept. Two very well game mechanics put together and working nicely. The graphics are very simple yet very good and the sounds and music do the job. Great work!
This game has amaaazziingg graphics!!!! And the music was awesome too. I love how the enemies move at the rythm of the music, very very good!
Wow, how violent a little girl can be smashing all the rabits and rounded dudes, 😝. Good job on the animations.
Damn, I'm bad at this games rythm games. The game is nice, it has cool graphics and rythm. Mixing the tower defense with the hit-the-key-at-the-right-moment mechanics is interesting. Good job!
I like it. Although most of the time I miss the ball with all the whiteness over black, but it was fun. A multiplayer should be even more fun. Good job!
This game is awesome. The concept is very good, and the mix between the two genres fit very well. The graphics are very nice, just what this type of game demands, the levels are very well designed and the controls feels good for the platformer part and the bricks-paddle part too. Very good, congrats.
Feel the rythmn as you type, very good!
This game is interesting.
I'm not very good at it, just because I'm not the type of guy that come up with fast responses, agility is not my strongest skill, and when the game introduces multiplication and substraction it turns a little difficult for me.
Nevertheless, there are some interesting features here, the voxel graphics are great and the controls felt fluid and very well implemented. The UI was very good too and the audio was fine, not too great, but enough to do the job on the game.
Congrats on this entry, you did a great job!
Nice concept. I think the randomness of the cards maybe could be a little less random, I mean to avoid stuff like when at the third floor you get two swords and two shields. Maybe at the start of the game you can only deal cards to move and jump, and when the dudes comes you can start getting shields and swords, don't know.
Other than the randomness stuff, the art is super great, do the job pretty well, the sounds also. The mechanics are interesting and combine the two themes pretty well. Great job!
PD: I'm still laughing at the credits song, is amazing!
Very nice animations! The game is cool and entertaining. Great work!
Very good entry, the switching perspective mechanic leads to a number of possibilities. Good job!
Nice game, the concept is interesting. I like the simple graphics, music and sounds would be nice, tho. Good job!
Nicely done, it was fun to play it!
This type of game always make me smile. I found myself several times hiting the key Home and End to go to the start or end of the line as I usually do in my programming, but I get frustated each time because the browser scrolls the page 😑.
I enjoy it very much. Very well done!
PD: Finally I escape from hell (so far I spent more time on this game than any other from this LD, and I think this will remain true):

One problem I found was that when restart the level by loosing it, or simply Esc+r, you have to type all the words. I know this is part of the concept of the game, buy after while if you loose repeatedly in one level it get anoying. Don't know how to fix it, though.
Very nice game and concept. There is no need of more graphics than that, and the sounds of typing and jumping do the job very well. Good work!
It's interesting the combination of soccer and the strategy you need to follow in order to make goals. Nice job!
Wow, really cool game! the mechanics are excelent and the implementation is really good. The sounds that play as the ball moves is awesome. Very good, congrats!
The idea is interesting, the graphics and sound are nice and set very well the rythm of the game. Good job!
Wow, this is very good! Very polished, love the art and the animations. Maybe the jump could feel a little better (sometimes too floaty) but in general is a very good experience. The story is very nice and interesting. Did I mention that the attack animation was awesome! Congrats!
Yay!! I escaped at last!
Nice work! The game is very good. It's true that the clues for the puzzles are there the whole time. The second door was a hit wall for me, but once i get pass that, I could finish very quickly.
The graphics are very good, in fact something like those graphics was what I was looking for designing my game. Too bad I'm a terrible artist, getting better though.
The platforming could fell a little better and the player animations could be better too, but nothing that opaques the really interesting things of this game. I feel that now I want to make games like this, simple but interesting and cool.
The sounds and music did the job too.
One minor thing, some times when you smash a couple of keys, the game goes crazy. For instance, in the second door of the I press E + A simultaneously and the character start walking to the left while the text displays on the screen, and I could stop it because I've to wait for the text to finish its animations. Something you could look up maybe.
I hope you finish up in the general rankings. Great job!
@Gamekrazzy Yeah, I tested it right now! It fell much better. Congrats again!
Nice and pretty hard game! Good job!
The graphics are amazing. The gameplay is simple and very nice to navigate the little casserole, with the sound it makes when a border is hitted. Very nice entry, good work!
Nice game. This has a combination of genres that can be combined very well. The audio is great, the platforming could be a little better but nothing that prevent you to enjoy it. Very good job, congrats!
Wow, I really enjoy it! The way you can build a life soo simliar to real life. The graphics are very good, it doesn't distract you from the meaning of the game and the music set the mood very well. The narrative is excelent. I think you should develop it more and publish it. Great job!
Nice entry! I enjoy the mechanics and the overall game. I'm guesing that this mix of genre was consider by many people, I consider myself for a while. You did a very good job mixing it, and the design of the levels are very good. Congrats.
Oh, and I've escaped! ;)

Really cool game. Sometimes the bullets or rockets doesn't launch in time. Other than that, great work.
The WebGL build didn't work for me, don't know if was my browser or what. The desktop build run well.
This game is nice. It combines the RTS and asteroids! Never seen this before, to be honest. Great job!
The physics of the car probably need to improve, two tips:
1. Add more weight to the car to make the jump more platforming accurate, you probably can see how typical platformers do it, and apply it to the car, it shouldn't be much different.
2. Make the side-way driving of the car with the arrows instead with the mouse, and with more accurate steering as the driving games typically do.
You probably don't need any more work in the menu area which is amazing. This is actually good because you can focus in the gameplay area and make it as awesome as the menu is.
Good job!
Really cool game. Well done. I play it for a while and enjoy it very much, the gardening thing and fighting the monsters. The graphics are very well done, and the sounds set the mood precisely. Great job!
Boy, I'm terrible at this kind of hit-the-key-at-the-right-moment games. The art is super nice, I like the music and the mechanics are very simple yet complete. Keep it up and do an extended version, it will super cool.
This is a good game. I enjoy the music very much, and the mechanics are very simple. It would be nice to include more songs. Great work!
Really fun, the platformer was tight, with good controls. The 1 bit art (for the most part) is great too. Good job!
You can check it out mine (another platformer): https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/think-before-escape
The idea is interesting, although the controls can be improved. Sometimes I found my self trying to jump higher and forward, but the frog didn't do that, it fix one axis and go there. The cats didn't do anything for me, I read that they was supposed to do damage, in that case it would be more interesting and challenging. The graphics are nice, and the whole entering doors and grates are cool, you don't know where you are going to show up next. Overall, good job!
Nicely done! I don't know why the pet can't see you but I keep playing it for a while hidding and trying to keep him happy, but for some reason the bar of Happy was low all the time, I must be doing something wrong. Good job.
Nice game. The auto-runner with the spells thing make an interesting combination, and of course as the game goes on, it gets harder. At one poing I saw myself smashing all the buttons to see if a I get the correct combination, jaja. The graphics are very well done, and the music do the job. Congrats!
