I'm glad I didn't have the server issues ya'll seem to be! XD
It was quite fun, would have been interesting to see other people though, too. I got to lv5, fully armored, defeated the boss, etc.
I haven't played an MMO in awhile, and now I remember why, SO ADDICTING! Must have cardboard armor!
Really liked the graphics, humor, and tone. Maybe I'll return one day...
Great entry for a small world!
The chip-tune music wasn't ajaring, which is usually the case for me, haha. And it was pretty fun overall. It seemed like the clouds didn't always work for me, but it may have just been something I was doing wrong. I also like how you managed to mix 2D sprites and 3D models together!
Really cool angle with the theme!
I loved the Intro stuff, there was actually a bit of story. And the way the scans/levels were set-up, it really sets the kind of mood/tone I was expecting.
Unfortunately, I only managed to get to Scan #2. I don't know if it's because the Raycast detection or whatnot(not a programmer, sorry) just wasn't very responsive. It's unfortunate, since I think the game has pretty good game feel. It is lacking in feedback, like others have said. Since I don't think you're using a 'gun' even though the control is 'shoot' you could still have a lingering animation of like the defragmentation or whatnot, and it could even hit a few enemies(if they're clustered) that may add a bit of depth to the combat, but it may also break the current flow- so I dunno, haha.
I don't know if it was the game's intention, but I would click, hear the noise like I shot the thing and it would keep coming at me for a few more moments before it disappeared- this is mainly why I didn't make it past Scan 2.
But, again, I do love the art style and narrative. It's a cool game, and I hope to make it to the end someday!
Really enjoyed playing! It has excellent game-feel. I was thinking that it'd be easy once I got rid of the people on the ground, but how you handled the waves of enemies flying-by or cropping up, kept me fully engaged!
Aesthetically, everything is solid and it's quite polished, too. If I have any complaint it's that the Home button is too big or close to the action. I got to I think 4:37 before I accidentally clicked it.
Thanks, Zgragselus! I'm still trying to get used to texturing. I kept using 'shiny' base materials, but discovered far too late that these shiny materials are only that way because they're very dark and hard to see.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments, everyone!
@cenullum I modeled everything in Maya, basically using primitives and the Extrude tool. I made all of the placeholder/dummy models on that Friday, then spent the rest of the time working on the detailed/updated versions. Managed to complete all of them in detailed versions, but not everything was used in the submission.
Pretty cool game! I was kinda confused on what was going on, for awhile, then it seemed like the game was too easy, then I don't know what lol
The music tones were a bit...overwhelming, the fuzziness made me nauseous somehow. If that's by design, then kudos to y'all!
Incredible presentation! The artwork is way better than anything I'd expect from a 72-hour game. I struggled a bit, but didn't really feel things get worse with more bunnies. I honestly was hoping for the bunnies to chew through the first supports so I could manage to fuel better- oh how naive I was.
I'm confused on the Amazon mechanic, there was never enough time to ever meet the requirement.
Lots of polish on this game, but I didn't really see how the theme worked in this very well.
I do hope ya'll Jam again for GGJ and LD41, like, seriously, CRAZY levels of polish here!
Pretty humorous all around. Damn those chickens... 8 G for a lobster? Are you fookin' crazy?!
Loved the whole atmosphere, but it seemed that there was an issue with whatever array you might have used or RNG to select what object the chicken wanted to buy. Out of like 50 times in 2 playthroughs, I never was asked for the meat.
At first, I thought it was some weird Snood clone. I liked the concept, a lot, actually. But it didn't seem like I understood how to make bubbles turn red. Most of the time the colors wouldn't turn as expected for me.
Would have really benefited from some royalty free music or ambient sounds, or any sound at all. I really wanted to like this game, but I just couldn't figure out how to approach the 'puzzle.'
I really like the aesthetic. Was fun for awhile, but I think these particular kinds of games aren't my cup of tea. Definitely true to the theme, I struggled with just the 3, so when it ramped up, I gave up completely at the first sign of difficulty.
Nice aesthetic! I thought the controls were pretty good, too. I was confused by the white boxes on the ground, I thought they were health packs I could pick up, but never seemed to work.
At one point the music stopped playing, and that sort of hurt the experience for me. One thing I definitely gotta say though, the reload felt oddly satisfying, and one key mechanic that kept me playing as long as I did.
Really liked the aesthetic. I had some trouble at first with flying, but sort of started to get the hang of it. Felt a bit far too floaty, so I couldn't really rely on my ability to fly as much as I would have liked to.
Everything looked pretty cool, and actually decently polished, but I couldn't see how it really fit the theme. The number of enemies seemed more like it was predetermined based on the level, rather than anything else? I couldn't tell.
Really cool concept and I actually liked the art quite a bit! Game had a very cohesive feel to it. I feel dumb because I couldn't figure out the 2nd puzzle, otherwise, I would have played it more!
I played on Normal, but couldn't beat the 2nd puzzle...I wonder what that says about me.
Pretty cool game. I like the subject matter, and the artwork wasn't too bad either. I got a little confused on how I was supposed to progress.
What I discovered in the underworld was to just go to the top and repeatedly spam all buttons. Basically was an instant win. I would call this game "The More you Have, the CRAZIER it gets" haha
I couldn't open it with 7-Zip. Not sure why...
Perfect title right here. LOL I was completely Overloaded within seconds. Couldn't even process what was happening. Kinda made it hard to play, but the visuals were really nice! And the sound effects were pretty good, too.
I think the game needed some more fine-tweaking of spawn rates and the like, I didn't really get to feel the negative effects of the positive thingies. It was really hard to play, but when I just backed into a corner, it became really easy to play... >_>; Died anyway.
Did I win? Slice_Of_Life.png
Great clicker folks! It kept me engaged for a while, good atmosphere, music, graphics. I wasn't sure what the words were saying, but I guess whatever I was doing was correct. I would have liked to see more care put into the calculations, it was great up to a certain point, but then I became stupidly rich. lol
This isn't a game... what is this?
Like the concept, and pretty great controls! Very fun physics game. I would have kept playing, but something weird happened with the hose and it made it impossible to move even with carrying nothing.
@aurel This was frustrating at times, but very fun to play! I love my little goat friend. Something about taking a friend along with you, creates some kind of bond with the story/gameplay(i.e. like a comfort cube) Anyway...
Unfortunately, I noticed while editing that all actual in-game footage was not captured by OBS. This saddens me, that people will not see your game, but I still enjoy the atmospheric audio and my commentary lol So, hoping that people might see it and want to play!
Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MZ_QoEaCr0
@porcus-pie Hey, thank you for sharing this! I really love the aesthetic, and I think you designed the tutorial nicely. I would have liked to be able to stand on my corpses, though. Cause I got stuck early on, and couldn't figure it out. :(
Oh well, I just wanted to play more! Here is the gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M72hqBQNSIQ
@sun-wukong It seemed puzzling enough for the likes of me xD So cute! Absolutely adore Miko and her quest to sacrifice apples <3
You can watch me fail at playing it well here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99187aER7DQ
@dbongames Hey, really cool and atmospheric. I was confused how to do certain things, unfortunately. Had fun kicking the trash can around lol
You can watch my pitiful attempt here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXivIA8AWXc
@joh Thanks for sharing! This is one of those games where you can explain it perfectly and people just don't get it until they start playing lol I don't think Eryn did all that well, but we had fun, the music was incredibly good and liked the art. Very cool idea!
You can watch the gameplay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MZ_QoEaCr0
@daruudaruu Hey, thank you for sharing your game! It's pretty fun, and a great one I think for people to watch, too! (and that's always a plus!) Love the sprite-work, and I think you balanced the design of the monsters well, too.
You can watch my gameplay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M72hqBQNSIQ
@daruudaruu My friend Rae Killham also played it, she liked it so much from my video that she wanted to, as well.
Here's her video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRlXvo5Jszo
@steel-dev Hey, thanks for sharing! I really liked the approach you took with sacrifice on multiple sides of the game! I had a really hard time playing it, though. I think if you were able to tweak a few of the mechanics it would be more balanced. Everything moved so fast that sacrificing speed seemed like an impossibility to me. I had a strategy sort-of at one point, but RNG didn't allow.
I never made it to phase 2, sorry. You can watch my gameplay of it here, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6-oBWViWFc
@ragtagradical Hey, I really like this game, but I didn't remember or understand how to properly play it. I had fun, and think it's cool. My boy, Blaa, is losing though :(
You can watch me play it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PAOgJlbt3Y
@pablodap Hey! I'm super sorry it took awhile for this last video to get uploaded! Had a lot of fun, looks very clean and polished, thank you for sharing! You can see my gameplay here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M72hqBQNSIQ
@pablodap Did you credit the music anywhere? The menu screen music I got a copyright claim on youtube for lol I've never gotten one of those, so not sure how to handle it rn.
@neowhoru Great little game, it's fairly polished presentation-wise. I am amazed that so many games felt complete this LudumDare! Thanks for sharing it!
You can watch my gameplay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MZ_QoEaCr0
@simon-rahnasto Thank you for sharing this! I was truly blow away by the sheer level of polish in a gamejam game! Your team is one to keep coming back to, I feel! I lost my shit when the chairs swiveled, even!
Here is me playing it, and I did make it to the end! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz-CrNXh2L4
@skettynmeebs Really appreciate you wishing me luck on youtube! It's mostly hobby, but I enjoy re-connecting with the gaming community and games. Really liked this one! That opening had me rolling(which you will see if you watch the video) but the actual game was pretty good, too. I think too many enemies for me, I couldn't make it to the end also had no idea how to sacrifice my men...
Here's a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99187aER7DQ
@easy82 Really well put-together experience. I feel like you did a fair amount of balancing with the level design, or just had a good process for thinking it up xD Made it out, but alone. Sacrifices were indeed made...
You can watch my gameplay of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6-oBWViWFc
@joramwolters Thanks for sharing! I really like the aesthetic, though the interface for some reason seemed a bit confusing to me, or like crowded? Anyway, I had a good time and apparently won!
You can watch my gameplay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz-CrNXh2L4
@stratoskakalis Hey, thanks for sharing. Nice little game, I apologize for the boring commentary lol Eryn's voice was sore, so it was just John and he sucks at everything...
You can watch the gameplay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXivIA8AWXc
@ecmjohnson Really solid game, tight, responsive controls, and the feedback was to die for! Nice going!
You can watch me play it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99187aER7DQ
@a0m1n3zone Hey, I finally got to upload my gameplay of your game. I did have fun with it, and was wondering if there is a way to beat it or not? Anyway, you can watch my gameplay here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnTCOdtDt_o There should be time-stamps in the description.
I apologize, the footage I tried to capture of your game was lost. Your game, unfortunately made my computer crash, I still tried to rate my experience and talk about it though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnTCOdtDt_o
There are time-stamps(or should be in the description)
Yea, it fully crashed and took a few tries to get it to start again. That's why I'm sorry I couldn't show any gameplay footage.
My pc is pretty terrible I think, though. It will crash if it's trying to process too much and I often need to save after every single action I take when video editing from fear of the program suddenly crashing.
@dk5000p I think I understood this game, I didnt read the other comments, but yes the weird overlapping of the audio was my favorite part. xD
Here is the video I recorded, if you would like to see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnTCOdtDt_o There should be time-stamps in the description.
@kirke This game was very charming and lovely! Did enjoy playing it, but think Im not so good at the platforming. Got kind of stuck and din't know what to do.
You can watch how I did here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PAOgJlbt3Y
Thanks for sharing, it's a nice-looking game!
@izi Thanks for sharing! I wasn't able to beat it, the music was super poppin! Anyway, recorded on my youtube channel, as promised! <3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YWwvCkHNwA
@sadzanenyama This one was hard to control for me. I hate the infamous "collision happens and just continues to happen" really wrecks my games lol but I absolutely loved your voice over stuff lol
Anyway, you can watch me play a bit here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YWwvCkHNwA
@5n1p3r-4r73m1s
Excellent critique, I agree with @archimagus assessment of the final product, and I blame myself for any short-comings. I do not know how to code like at all, I was meant to model, texture, and do artwork, but I spent so much time modeling that I forced the rest of the team to do most of what should have been my work.
And for that, I am sorry.
@darylsteak Thank you so much for sharing! I apologize for this taking so long to produce >_<
