LD39 — Running out of Power

Socketbound by Wekaj 2017-08-02T16:58:50Z

Very fun game! I love the gameboy-like graphics and audio. The slow movement can be slightly frustrating at times and my game occasionally crashed, but in general the game was fun and I can tell a lot of effort was put into it!

A very interesting idea for a game! The audio is lovely and I personally think it complimented the graphics very well. The game was quite challenging and made it pretty fun to play. My only issue with the game would be the incorporation of the theme. When I was trying to distinguish how it related to the theme, every thought I had was quite vague. Overall though, it's a good game and I hope you do well in compo! :slight_smile:

Socket Punch! by simex 2017-08-01T15:31:33Z

First off I'd like to say that the graphics are amazing and really suit this style of game. The gameplay, although quite a simple concept, was actually very fun to play and I found myself retrying over and over again just to get into the leaderboard (which I am proud to say I eventually did after about 30 minutes! :grin:). There were some issues with the collisions that tend to happen when using transform.translate to move the character, but this didn't really alter the gameplay whatsoever. My main issue, however, was the very odd charging mechanic. I'd find myself wasting precious time trying to get my wire into the charging port which did tend to get slightly frustrating. But overall, this game was a pleasure to play and I'd love to see you guys continue polishing it in the future!

The game is very pleasant to look at and the music was pretty good. It took me a while to figure out what I was supposed to do, and once I had found out what to do, the game quickly became very tedious. The concept is great and the graphics are wonderful. If you were to make basic tasks less lengthy (such as having to use a machine multiple times to fill a cup) the game would probably be a lot more fun than it currently is. As I said, the concept is great and I would love to see more of this game in the future if you were to work on some of the inconveniences. :slight_smile:

Thank you everyone for the awesome feedback! We appreciate it a lot.

@shinmeria I fully agree with you. It was my first game jam and I got a lot of experience from it, but I'll definitely learn from this for next time! :grin:

@pouleyketchoupp thanks for the feedback! I was really unsure about how to fix the sticky walls, I'll be sure to incorporate this next time it's relevant! The game pad support is also something I may add in the future.

@c0nst4ntin I do remember watching that video quite a while back, Mort is the person a learnt to pixel art from in the first place! When I was making the textures I guess it was the first thing I thought of :grin:

I love the concept of the game and the audio & graphics are amazing, too! I agree with @meowstudios, perhaps you should have spent less time making a bunch of levels and focused on implementing the other features you initially planned. Overall, though, it was a great game and I enjoyed playing!

EDIT: There was an issue regarding resolution scaling. This has been patched

@mike-cullingham thank you for playing! I completely forgot about adding effects for cannon shooting-- but they did kill a few enemies and played a sound queue! Much thanks for the compliments on graphics, too :slight_smile:
