Nice game you got here and interesting take on the theme. I also read your blog post and great job on pulling this off. Thanks for sharing!
Impressive game you have, it really made me want to play more. Would be nice if it had sounds though. Great job!
Very unique game you have here. Although it needs more challenge or risk reward system. It's too easy right now. But it's different and has a lot of potential. The animations look good too. Good job!
Great fun game, good music, good innovation. Nice also that you added some holiday cheer during this stressful game jam. Thanks for the great game!
Wow, this is such an amazing innovative entry, excellent (better than great) use of the theme! The levels are very well designed as well. Music and sound effects fit the game too. Although, It's kinda annoying how you have to be extremely precise on some of the jumps. Overall great game!
The gameplay is alright, kind of repetitive and easy without any variation. But the art and visual style is great! The overall package with the menu screen, credits, music, art, effects, animations, feels like a complete game. Everything is great but the gameplay may need some refining. Great job on a solid entry!
Wow that's pretty impressive that you joined 10 Ludum Dare already. Do you have any games on Steam or Android?
Great fun game btw. Your experience shows a lot and reflects on the Quality of this game. Great job!
Wow these animations are amazing! Especially when you mentioned that they're procedurally generated. It's so amusing seeing these rag doll physics. Very nice aesthetics as well
Great game! The music and art style is pretty cool. Shoot em ups are always fun so that's awesome. The take on theme is great too, good job!
I would love to play this game on the phone/tablet! Imagine being able to touch cars to stop them or making em go. It feels okay with mouse. The idea is fun and great, good feeling. But it can get repetitive. But a really solid entry with nice visuals. The music is alright but can get a bit annoying later on though. Overall, it's one of the best entries in LD. Good job!
That's pretty cool how much features you added into this game. Not bad for an 11 year old. Although in Ludum dare, it doesn't matter what age, gender, etc, the main point is great games. You did a really good job here though, solid entry for LD. Keep up the good work!
Great card game! It's nice to see some card games made for Ludum dare. Good job!
Great job and good entry. Interesting and innovative approach you have on the theme. Well played!
This is such a great and creative game! Good job! It does need some kind of tutorial and maybe music
Very nice looking game and amusing music (needs sound effects though). The art work and mood looks great. But the timer is kinda annoying especially with the clunky controls. But great job on a really good looking game!
This is such a great game, I wish there was controller support and I would be playing this for hours! The gameplay is very easy and compelling. The challenge is really well balanced. The concept is also great. Being crushed or missing a beat doesn't feel too punishing, it is reasonable. The risk reward system of stacking high to get more points vs missing the stack is very clever game design. This is one of the best games I have played in LD 40. Great job!
I enjoyed this game so much, I think it should win LD40. Please add controller support
Very interesting concept you have there. Too bad there's no sounds. But good job, A+ on creativity!
Great idea for a game. A lot of us can relate. Very innovative and creative.
Looks like you guys will get #1 in humor. Great job!
That's pretty impressive that you guys made a card game for the jam especially because card games require a lot of balancing. It runs pretty smoothly too and looks well polished. But like all card games, there's a learning curve. Aside from that, great job!
Thanks for the feedback! That's actually a good idea
Thanks for the feedback @ayushman. What do you mean by more precise movement?
@randomphantom, thanks for the feedback. We will address that bug fix ASAP. Thanks for the compliments as well. The additional features you recommended is appreciated but we ran out of time lol. One thing we have in the game is clues for hints to player that they should go to a certain spot.
@lajazuve @hpmnk, thanks for the feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the game!
@Alex thanks for your feedback, we will look into it.
Everyone, we are glad you enjoyed the game!
Thanks for all the good feedback everyone!
@ampers0und thanks for the feedback. We will look into these.
Sorry but we found out that the web version is buggy. Please use the download version for now.
Thanks again everyone for all the positive feedback.
I like how this game is simple, creative, and also addicting. Great work! Would be nice instead of Insta death, that you would lose some of your money instead or go down a level or maybe have some hit points
This is a very innovative and addictive game. Great job! Would be nice if it's not Insta kill and maybe just lose some gold or go from getting hit though.
Interesting concept you have here. I like the idea of bullets bouncing off walls. Great minds think alike: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/retileation
Fun bullet hell shooter game you have. I am not sure what the powerups are for. Would be nice if mouse 1 can be used for shooting instead of just space. The music is great too.
Those intro art and that chick looks great. But the controls are too hard for me. It feels terrible. Not sure where you got the idea for the controls. It would be a great game if it had controller support. But other than the issue with the controls, I like how the game has a lot of elements of a great 2D platformer - melee attacks, double jump, dash, different enemy types, interactible environments, creative platforming puzzles. Great job! The art would be nice if it was bigger though.
Interesting game you have. I got to level 7 where I instantly died! Nice art on your game, pixel art looks great! Also that's cool you have a lot of dialogue, but sometimes it's a bit too much. It feels a bit repetitive up to 7, not sure if the mechanic changes later in the game. Great job implementing a lot of stuff and making the look really polished.
Amazing entry you have here. It looks great and very feature rich! The controls need improvement though. But other than that, great job! We used mouse aim for our game and I think something like that will work great for your game too. Excellent work!
I love zelda like games and this one is no exception. The art style looks cool too. The sound effects is hit or miss, there are cool ones that male the player sound really strong and there are weird ones. But great entry, great job on your game and thanks for sharing !
Very interesting experience. The music, art, and puzzle like experience is definitely nothing like I have seen before. It was confusing to figure out where to click though.
What I like the most about this is the visual style. It stands apart most LD games. Great job in creating a really unique experience!
Fun creative game you have here. Good job!
I like the idea and it fits well with theme - more you have, worse it is. But I really don't like how it was hard and frustrating to eat sausages. I think it's best to give better control and more clever puzzles instead of making it hard to control. But the aesthetics are great! The music and sound effects fit really well. Anyone who has the patience with the control scheme will enjoy this entry. This another great and amusing entry in LD. Great job!
Interesting concept. It has a lot of potential but has great innovation. There's something wrong with the resolution as if the top text is cut. Also maybe tool tips would be helpful to understand how to play the game better. Great job on your entry.
Nice fun and interesting game you got. The mechanics of being able to charge attack is great, it makes up for the terrible low range kinda pointless swinging of sword. Great job!
This game sucks, I mean that in a good way haha! Good job on putting this all together, not a lot of games have this kind of mechanic.
I gave you highest on mood. That music sounds so intense! Great interesting concept, but seems like the gameplay needs more variety. Nevertheless, good job with your game, it's pretty well made and balanced !
Wow. This is impressive especially done on Compo. Great art, music, and pirates are always fun. Great job!
Very interesting experience you have here. The wavy thing gets annoying though. The visual art looks amazing but I think there need to be better cues on which things you can interact with because it was annoying clicking on everything and the screen getting wavy. But this experience is one of a kind. Your Lucid dream experience on your comment above also hightens the experience of this game. Great work!
Really impressive looking polished game. I had the same idea at first too but instead we opted for a different idea. Good job also in adding a lot of features in the game including upgrades. The camera might need a bit of tweaking though, it looks a bit off and hard to see the far areas.
Very well polished and innovative game With great use of theme. That interface looks divine. Probably missing some design elements to get players engaged. But overall, great job! Also good job on making the game realistic with the earth being flat - jk!
Great job on your Ludum Dare Entry especially for a compo. Pretty easy concept and interesting use of theme there with the crushing walls. Good job on making the full package even with tutorial. There was one part that made me laugh when I reached the castle and then fall because I moved too much. The aesthetics of your game looks really good too. Very nice consistent style. Great job on your submission. Would be nice to see more difference between levels.
This is one of the best games I played so far. The gameplay is fun, unique, and interesting. I could see this into an actual published game for hand held devices or even consoles or PC lol. Great job on the innovation on the theme and making a well polished game. Thanks for sharing!
This game looks really good. It's impressive that you added procedural generation into it. The interface is pretty cool too. But I really don't get what is going on. Maybe if there were some tool tips giving hints on what to do next or showing that you made progress. Does M500 mean warping to another solar system? Also is there no sounds? I think some good music and sound effects would be good for this game.
Great job on your entry. It made me click click click away. It's a great time killer which a lot of people unconsciously like. Thanks for sharing.
Good job on your 1st game on Ludum Dare.
You have a pretty innovative and good use of theme here. Unfortunately I had the same issues with other players where thoughts get stuck - which is okay because we can just delete them. But unfortunately there is no end to the game. I thought the score was going to show up later.
All in all great job on your 1st game! You might get addicted to Ludum Dare like I did. Started with LD39 now i participated in every LD since then. Nice work on publishing your game. Some didn't get to publish so you you're one step ahead!
Looks like some game balancing is needed but overall cool interesting entry you shared. Good job on your 1st entry. Well played on creating a game on a simple concept and it completely makes sense on the theme. I tried both modes and failed both lol. It was hard because when you pick up food, it gets destroyed by the snow! Good job on your game and thanks for sharing!
Great game man! I was impressed on the number of type of enemies you have on your game. The game feels really well polished. There are multiple weapons, a shop feature, and a lot of sprites. Great job on your entry! I don't get when my ammo was effective though - but that's my problem lol. Thanks for sharing!
The animations and sounds look cool. The backgrounds and characters are cute, well made nice looking pixel art. I can't seem to find the altar lol. But wow that death animation looks cool. Great job and thanks for sharing! Oh i think the sound effects for shooting could be better, it sounds too cute for a demonic type game.
Wow, I like your game. It's simple and cute and not stressful! The aesthetic is really nice and it's a really simple concept which uses the theme really well. I wish it has music though but good thing you have sounds!
Great job on your entry. Thanks for sharing!
I really like the style. It's cool, and the animations look smooth. Great sound effects and ambience. You really hit the mood there. Although I would recommend changing up the gameplay a bit so that player is not pressing right arrow all the time even if it is an obvious game over or fail. Maybe have some hints during the game to pick up your dropped items. Also shorten the duration. It got kinda boring just keeping pressing right all the time. Thanks for sharing your game!
This game is great! I really love the concept and it makes sense - sacrifice your life to save the president. Kind of morbid, but amusing, fun, and fits the theme perfectly. The art and minimalistic animation is cute and fun too. The music also adds to the mood. Lacking some sound effects but it is not really that bothersome.
Great game and thanks for sharing!
Very nice game you got here. I like how you even matched the font on the theme of your game. The art is very colorful and cute too. I agree that would be nice if you can just pick up a fruit by walking on it instead of pressing E. Other than, the controls feel very good. Great job and thanks for sharing your game!
@cipery Thanks glad you liked it. Yea i spent too much time trying to make floor and wall tiles and should have improved the shooting arm animation lol
@corbak Glad you like the proc gen. The cursor was present in the editor build. The build version removes it for some odd reason.. it's a bug lol.
@omiya-games Glad you liked the proc gen. Our coder was really proud of it too. There was some bugs where the gun wouldn't fire a few times. I think i can fix that some time. Thanks for pointing out some of the bugs so we have a list to fix later! I am sorry you did not like the accent. I used this for it - https://lingojam.com/CowboyTalkTranslator I thought it was funny.
@lenny-sirivong Glad you like the art, I will let our musician know you like the music too. Walking through some walls is a bug. Where and when did that happen? If you can provide a screenshot or gif, we will know where to fix. We did notice that the music stopped. I thought I fixed it lol. I will have to fix that again.
Thanks to everyone who played and rated my game. I played and rated your games as well. The others I will have to play after work.
Thanks for playing guys! I rated your games as well!
@randomphantom Thanks for the tips! I spent too much time on background tiles because of my inexperience. If you have tips on how to do those, please feel free to share. That way I can spend more time on polishing the characters, animations, text, etc.
@jfraser314 Yea, i like being able to free aim. It's especially useful for this game when you have to shoot wisely because you lose life when you shoot.
@jiri-one Glad you like the music! That cursor thing is a bug actually, i am still trying to figure out how that works. On Editor it works perfectly fine but on PC build and web build, seems like they behave somewhat different. I think it has something to do with multiple monitors.
@mgoadric yea we are proud of how the proc gen works. The mouse cursor should have been available. It is ON at editor. Not sure why it disappears on build. I am going to figure out why.
@dk5000p I did not want to be generic and obvious. I figured there will be a lot of cultist games and there are. So we stuck with a more strategic game because you have to be careful when shooting or jumping which is core to action platformers like these.
@game-mon you sacrifice health to shoot and jump. Should i be more obvious on next jams instead? :-/
Thanks again to everyone for playing! Your games are great too!
First of all, Thanks to everyone who played our game! I went ahead and rated and played all your games as well and had a blast!
@ogma I am glad you enjoyed our game! I let our coders and musician know about your compliments. I really need to fix that invisible cursor build lol
@dusho next for the compliments! Like i said on previous comments, i will work on making sure that the cursor is on the web build lol
@rugbug-redfern @ninnec @generictoast Wow so many people are impressed with the proc gen levels! I will let our coder know. I am sure he will be happy!
Hmm.. maybe ladders are a bad idea. I think i will remove them.
@gafblizzard thanks for the heads up!
Great game once again! It's pretty brutal and violent though lol. Nice puzzle game where you have to think fast! Thanks for sharing this amazing game and very great looking art. The music is really cute too and great sound effects. What did you use to make the music?
Great idea! Only geniuses would think of an idea where you sacrifice health to shoot. Also we have the same idea or concept lol! Great minds think alike. It makes the gameplay more strategic and players become even more careful when shooting. If only the enemies were not just cubes though, they look so much like the ground lol
This is rather creative. I applaud you for using Google sheets for making a game. It's simple and smart. I wish that there is pictures though, but that is just my preference. This game is definitely perfect for fans of text based games, a good niche. Well done and thanks for sharing!
Wow! This is a pretty fun brutal game! Sacrificing each round is so BRUTAL! Great use of theme and really cute aesthetics. Why is it an angel taking away your parts anyway? Shouldn't it be a devil or something? lol
Anyways, thanks for making a cool entry!
LOL! Do you play DnD or Tabletop RPGs? That is what this game sounds and feels like.
Do you have an HTML build?
The concept was really cool. I was so surprised that after the 1st phase, there was a platformer afterwards. Pretty cool! The art style was really cute too. Personally I think if you just focus on the fun part and add more features to that and make it more fun, you could cut the generic platformer section.
Too bad there is no sounds or character animation. Nonetheless, great job on your entry and thanks for sharing!
Very cute game and i really like the aesthetics and physics of the game. When I got the gun, I couldn't open the fences of the little frogs. Was that intentional? But looks like was able to save frogs in the end because it showed a total of 18 frogs saved.
Thanks for sharing your fun little entry!
Wow, the music choice and the art looks cool. You melded them so nicely to create the perfect atmosphere. It's interesting how made a metroidvania game that looks cool for ludum dare. Great job and thanks for sharing!
One of the best looking games during this jam and sounds really nice too. The aesthetic is really nice, really sets a good mood and the music sounds perfect. Gotta limit where the submarine goes though because for a while, i thought the game was broken then i realized i moved outside of the screen lol
I don't get what is going on but i like it. The music is cool, the concept is cool. I wish i knew what was going on though lol. Either way, I enjoyed just clicking away
I actually enjoyed this game. It's very relaxing. Would be nice to see graphics of the enemies. But it's simple and not stressful. Interesting RPG
Pretty cool game! the animations, the simplistic nature, the music are all great. it's pretty cool. great job man!
Great work on your game. Nice music, nice cinematography. Fun little platformer. Great job and thanks for sharing!
Pretty cool game you have. The animations were cool. The puzzle and concept is fun. Although the 1st part, it wasn't really obvious that you need to jump down on a certain area
Pretty interesting game. nice use of procedural generation. I can't seem to find everything. Is there a trick to it? great concept though.
Pretty cool aesthetic. I think the sword attacks are too short though. it made me laugh when i heard "you monster" lol
is there nothing on this game? start and end with nothing? i don't see anything
Really set the mood there. Starting with apocalyptic setting is good use of theme. Good music too and nice pixel art.
Fun little game. Very weird how you have the beats like it's a rhythm game though. Good take on the theme. Thanks for sharing. It's very unique and kinda cool how you used chess pieces. Nice animation and art too. Looks polished
So far the best game I have played for this jam! The gameplay is fun ingenious. The design is pretty good with difficulty scale not bad at all. It's a puzzle game but not stressful and very satisfying. The animations and art fit well. Music fits very well too. great job! Thanks for sharing.
Very nice story driven game. Pretty cool use of the theme though. The music was very melancholic. Great mood setting on the game. Actually made me play up to the end. The game play needs some work though but overall pretty cool experience. Thanks for sharing guys!
Pretty cool game you got there. That was a really cool take on the theme where you build the level from nothing as you go. The music seems a bit weird at times though, but it does create the right atmosphere. Nice low poly art, very magical. Great job !
Pretty cool looking game. Great job! the difficulty scaling was pretty nice too. Nice aesthetic you guys went with. The music and sounds were good too.
Great submission and great job on your 1st ever compo. This was a really fun game. Great job on the level scaling from really easy to challenging especially for a puzzle game. Probably need a better sound track that's a bit longer especially when looping especially if people listen to it for a long time lol. But it was really creative how you build your own levels. It's fun! thanks for sharing!
I really don't get what was going on but it was really interesting to see what would happen by clicking stuff. Fun little God simulator with cards. Well done!
Funny how you achieved a successful life is having a gamer chair and dual monitor gaming PC. I like how you start out as convict then evolve to different stages of career. Would be nice to some change in game mechanics after each level up though.
I like the idea how you get a keyboard control every stage. very simple art, so it's kinda relaxing. Well use of the theme.
Like everyone said, pretty good looking game. Great job!
I really love this game. I had a blast and it was fun. The beat movement and attack didn't limit the game at all which was pretty impressive. The minimal art was crips and the music was engaging. Thanks for making an awesome game!
This is great! The sound effects and the music are good. The animations are well done. The graphics look good too. Although the controls is a bit of a problem if one is playing on a Surface Pro - no middle mouse click! Other than that, it was a fun game. Thanks for sharing! I like how you can go out of the tower and use the tower as well
Did you upload successfully? the link shows nothing found
Thanks for everyone playing my game! I wish I had more time to polish and more card balances and give you a much more fun experience. One of the design intentions was to experiment what the weird cards do. This game does have multiple endings (win and game over conditions) but it just so happens the Hollywood ending was too easy to get.
It's a rhythm based exercise game! It's cool you added some dialogue and story to set the mood. The mechanics work well too like a rhythm game. The music is kinda weird for a rhythm game. probably need more beats and percussion to the music. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent game! Really fits the theme with good humor and game play. It has quirky controls and physics but that's what makes it fun. Thanks for sharing!
It's a good concept. Keeping the city alive by distributing water. I am not sure if I am playing it right though.
It's lacking some music but I like the take on the theme where you can manipulate stuff and pick up enemies. It was hard to pick up stuff and enemies but it is fun when it works. The art is pretty cool too. The blend of 2d with 3D environments physics look good together. Nice level design also where player can tell what to do to defeat enemies. Thanks for sharing!
That was a pretty cool game. The music is good and i like the extra polish of how it slows down when battery is going down. It kinda gets annoying the way it sounds when you're stuck in slow down music though. That's nice how you have little mini games within the game. good job and thanks for sharing!
I think I get the concept - you protect yourself and the guy on the bottom by shooting spheres on the capsules. You have really good cover art, great job. The jump is kinda weird.
Very deep game you have. The sacrifice that need to be done to keep alive. Thanks for sharing your entry.
I am not really sure why you have spinning letters but you have interesting concept there. Keeping fire alive definitely fits the theme. Good job.
Woah man ! thanks for this fun experience. I was kinda tired from my jam, this lightened up my day
Pretty cool concept. Definitely fits the summoning theme. It's like an RPG.
Thanks for playing the game! I wanted to share the fun art that my niece drew and the cool art my older brother drew. I'm glad also that I have a good team who worked on SFX, music, backgrounds.
Currently each monster you own damages an enemy but those enemies damages the player at the same time. Some of the monsters you own can heal the player I wish I had more time to add more polish elements, I'll try to work with other coders next time so more polish and features can be implemented.
Pretty cool game you got. I like the concept. But what i like the most is how easy it is to play the game. Thanks for sharing!
Nice work on your game there. I'm pretty impressed how much polish you added into the game and you also added some humor in it. I only wish there was W, A, S, D controls lol
This game is pretty cool. It's really fun to see new concepts in game jams. You got a lot of elements done in the game and that is pretty impressive. Great job! Very nice art and audio as well.
Pretty good game you got. It's got level up system, progression, complete package in a game. Well done. Is there an ending?
Oh, I forgot to mention... I raised my speed really high and then ran into a wall and got stuck which ended my run lol
Wow this is such an amazing entry! The visuals were basic but very cute and fitting and great! The music was cool, the rhythm is catchy, and the beat plays really well with the gameplay. You also managed to make the game fun! Great job on a solid entry!
Great visuals!
I keep getting stuck on the stairs - can't control going up the stairs or passed it.
Great game! I really enjoyed it (made me play it multiple times.) I really like the aesthetics with cute characters and visuals to match the gameplay. The music is catchy too although I wish the beat and buttons match with the music.
Overall great entry! Thanks for making a fun game!
Windows link doesn't work
This is actually a great game. Good job! The idea fits really well and you made such an awesome game that people are actually willing to play for 2 incompatible game genres.
This is a great fun and awesome looking game. The particle effects you used are amazing. The music is really good. The gameplay is really fun too. I was expecting that you move or shoot with the beat but looks like it's the enemies that goes with the beat. Either way your implementations of the game and theme is great. Thanks for making a great entry.
Thanks everyone! We had more card ideas and enemies in mind, as well as different mechanics but we ran out of time. Typical for game jams.
The engine/code is actually setup to have different type of cards, upgrade, or enemy types. We even had a level 3 that didn't make in time. Thanks for playing our game everyone!
