I found the controls to be very twitchy, and movement was character relative rather than camera relative making navigation confusing if quick turns are made. Might just be me though lol. Otherwise nice idea and well executed, would love to see multiplayer! :P
Very good use of physics, the sound changing as I moved the camera was rather annoying though :D
Really liked the atmosphere this game created, the collision box on the player was a little offset and made me feel cheated at times but overall I quite enjoyed the experience. Good job!
The RSI inducing gameplay was excellent, the music catchy and the particle effect fantastically over the top. Best game I've played so far!
Runs for me. Certainly less is more, good idea but frustrating controls and cheap deaths spoils the fun. Enjoyed the simple 'done in paint' graphics thought and the walk animation was something to behold :D
Very intense, good use of image and sound, all round silly fun :D
Amazing atmosphere for such a simple concept, nice one :D
Found the floaty jump kinda slow and frustrating but really liked how the game progressed. Good work :D
Music was very atmospheric but the gameplay was lackluster, loved the sudden change of theme though, came as a pleasant surprise :D
Fun, addictive and minimal! Great job!
This was great! Very impressed how much atmosphere you got out of a single light and untextured objects. The ending made me jump too :D
Good fun until you realise you can just hold right and space while hovering just above ground :P
Great concept and very good use of audio. I especially like the spoken text in the menu, nice touch :D
Haha this was awesome, took me completely by surprise. Good fun :D
Simple original idea, and well executed. I did encounter a bug where a ball was able to leave the screen and I was unable to progress... but otherwise a solid experience.
Awesome game and great use of the theme, well done :D
What started off as a simple pong clone evolved into something quite unique and very enjoyable. Great job!
I slept way more than in real life :D
shame that 10 secs is that short, breaking up the satisfaction to destroy everything on screen or loot everything, but well that's the theme :p
Man that was dark! Loved it. Art was perfect for the game, it was intuitive to play. Really nice. :)
Well I had a lot of fun, mainly because I wasn't alone I guess :D. (ps : I was O.o)
Am I playing a tardis? :D
Finished in 30 death....then in 14 death, pretty hard boss!
remind me of super meat boy :D, I felt the jump was a bit too much floaty though.
Awesome game, solid gameplay and art was perfect for it. Nice one :)
Interesting idea. If you had more time what would you have liked to add?
Also, what was the thing swinging about his trouser area when he moved north? lol
That was awesome, the story, the art, and the delicate music. Nice take on theme too. :)
Great stuff!
The control of the car make the game really hard!
I really like the mood shifting during the wave, even if I always ended up crawling on the floor right after xD
Love the sprite aging, very nice idea.
Really nice game! Art and music suited it to the ground.
This is pretty hard! Clever use of the 10 sec in binary :)
Very nice game.
The jam definitely needs more interactive fiction, kudos to you!
Nice look, loved the "yahoo" :D
Nice pixel art. :)
Thought Chewbacca had cloned himself!
Awesome!
at first I was like "well that's just space invader..." then I was like "What?!", awesome idea.(Yeah sorry I didn't read the description I just wanted to play :p)
Nice idea, but clicking on specific words was a bit difficult.
Can't decide whether mad or a genius. :D Made me lol.
nice game mechanics
A bit short, I wanted to get my dragon! :p
Nice puzzle game, I liked the "randoms 10 sec facts"
I was confused by the fact that I have to say in the shadiw but the shadows were not drawn :D
Yaaar!
Interesting concept :)
This was really good. Finished with a happy ending second go. The narrative and mood was great, sad but had humour in it too.
Nice idea, I really like the path line in the replay mode :)
Remind me of the Real time chess game , disturbing to play on a desktop and to see all these chess pieces reversed :)
Not sure what's going on with the camera between the kicking ass moment, but punching on everything is always good :D
Some really nice idea of weapon here, loved the sonic wave one :D
Nice graphics! Good job. :)
Very nice story telling.
Nice concept, not sure if it's random but 80% of the cities were cultural, which make the trade a bit hard :p
Ooo, cool frontend!
Really nice game, I didn't feel rushed or get confused with controls, the layout give you time, and explain it really well. The art and music is cute and suits the game well.
Really good job! :)
Nice TD, good difficulty (even if I didn't manage to finish yet :D)
Nice setting and mood :)
Welcome to Gun Island!
Art is so cute, really stylish :) Satisfying game to play and music suits it really well.
Great job. :)
Cute game, like the mechanics behind it.
I little short perhaps but that's not a major thing. :)
8 sec with the music, 10 without :D, at least on my first run all kingdom can agree in peace :)
Liked the Zero Punctuation guys. :)
Addictive game!
pretty hard xD
Didn't get it at the start but it's pretty interesting, 999hp might be a bit long though :D
Great idea, quite tricky with no line to gauge it by!
Awesome :)
Ok, I tried like 50 times, I never managed to save him :( , but that was really funny xD
Nice, had Slenderman vibes, was crapping myself. Good job!
Controls of the character were very sluggish and the assets from Unity weren't properly bound to the skeleton. My character got stuck in a crouch and couldn't move. :( Did kinda wonder if you even need them?
The UI/HUD didn't fit the game style at all, which is a shame as the intro screen was nice, had some great colour theming.
Nice game mechanic idea.
lol at the 1 string metallica loop :p.
I got the sound but no image loading (chrome) :(
Well...that was...special :p.
The icons are really hard to figure out/remember
It's more like the 30 second rule in my house.
Really cool idea, nice one :)
"Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.cse.dmu.ac.uk."
Love the reference, there's nowt you can't do with egg smashing.
The ending was cool too. Would love to see this extended to your full vision of it. :)
Alliterations are always awesome, ace!
simple but interesting gameplay
Really loved the concept of this, the art and music too, were perfect for it.
I got a tad frustrated at having to start from the beginning each time, especially when I was stuck for knowing which key did what action, even though I kinda knew was supposed to happen. But that's down to me being derpy. :D
Really nicely done!
I love shmup :)
Felt like doing some quake speed run :)
Really lovely art, the jumping is tricksy though.
Really nice mood and storytelling! Really enjoyed it, but got a bit lost in the house.
Nice idea. I just find the movement a bit too much fast. :)
Nicely done but a bit difficult :)
What did I just played? O_o
Really nice idea :D
Hilarious, awesome idea, just need some sound to make it epic :D
Really cool game, love games that question what's good or bad/right/wrong. Only down side for me was on the last page, with Carol's story the writing went a bit haywire and I couldn't read it.
Still, great game, thank you!
Interesting experience but hard to get any sens of orientation when you are totally in the darkness.
Such a cool game. Interesting and unusual gameplay and cute minimal art! Really nice. :)
Simple and very enjoyable, a list of mouse gesture would have been nice as I'm not sure I did discovered them all :)
I liked the physic of the claw...but where is the tardis? XD
Nice concept and very cute art!
Really nice game, great mood. :)
That was awesome. Really didn't expect that at all!
Really simple but great humour and really quite addictive.
'Mazing job. :D
Nice and very challenging
Nice story and use of the theme. :) Good job!
Really nice concept, looks awesome too. Nice one!
Haha, nearly spat my tea out at 'You shit yourself'.
Great game!
your windows link, send me to a "doctor drown - linux.zip"
lordjosephdeburg - Yes the convos are infinite just now. We just didn't get time to add in an overall score. And thank you. :)
recursor - Thank you very much, we got the music from http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/?keywords=USUAN1200003
ArcturusDeluxe - Thank you and yep, you have to keep the balance in the middle The idea being that the longer you spend balance the higher you accumulate points. But as mentioned, no time to implement sadly.
Cool games, where are the remaining games to reach 100? :D
Really nice and nice looking game! :)
I was a bit lot at the start but I like the mood of the game.
Really cool, I took a while but got there!
Nice idea. :)
Nice game, I like the pet idea. Controls were a bit difficult with all the world rotating around though :)
haha, that was good. Loved the win and fail keys.
Not sure it it's me but I had a hard time with the jump.
Running around like a crazy guy was more funny than I thought :D
Nice art style.
Also: Bacon!
Nice concept, never seen this before. Colours are good! :D
Nice concept, love trivia games. As other have mentioned the font choice wasn't the best idea for readability but for 8 hours, nice one!
Took me some time to adapt to the control scheme, but after getting use to, it was quite enjoyable game :)
Great idea! Good job. :)
Really nice game, well rounded on all fronts.
The 'Banksy' rat cover art doesn't do it much justice though I think.
I'm a panda with a gun killing cats...everything is alright :D
Cool game! Nice one :)
Awesome game!
Simple but very effective :)
Cool idea, I felt the jump was too unresponsive to get into the rhythm of the game, got quite frustrated. That said it's a niggle and it's your first 3D game and pretty impressive.
Nice one :)
Good use of theme, the character art is awesome. :) Good job!
that would work so well with a old school acceleration fx sound :D
Sad it's not fully functional, but the idea sounds good and music is nice :)
Hah that was cool. Really usual gameplay and quirky art. Nice one!
Addictive game. Had trouble realising you had to get the wee bomb on top of the cupcakes rather than next to it but when I did, loved it.
Nice one!
I kept falling through the wall of the 2nd room!
This is really nice. I didn't feel pressured too much by the time limit but was enough to make haste. The art really suits the style and front end/HUD fits in really well.
Very cool :D
- Zub
Awesome game, loved the Zak McKrakken feels. Only thing that stood out for me was the font choice. It was cool graphic design studio, where the art was quirky pixelart. But that's just be being weird. :)
\o/
Yay, I won! Simple but enjoyable. :)
I didn't get the power up effect =/
Very hard to get the melee range, I always got hit before I manage to kill a mob.
Unique idea! I felt like I was learning stuff! Good job. :)
I didn't really get the 10 seconds counter =/
Nice idea, bit confusing at the beginning but enjoyable once you understand the mechanics :)
While I play drum myself and would have no problem on a drum kit, it's very very difficult on a keyboard :)
Haha, that was awesome. Loved the speech at the start, made me larf every time. And yeah I died a lot.
Haven't seen a game like this and it was so cool to see. I did have one question though, who was I and who was I fighting against? That's two questions...meh.
Wuuhuu wuh wuh whuuhhuhuh. :D
Nice gameplay and art :)
Fun game, quite addictive! Nice one. :)
Nice atmosphere, the game seems deeper than my understanding though :p
Loved the styling, and the game is addictive. Nice job!
Really nice game but not sure about the gun, I ended up just dodging every enemies as it was more time saving :)
I like how you join the darkness when you lose :)
That's actually really cool. I love the old skool puzzle element. My brain had trouble getting used space not being jump but then I'm horribly conditioned to it.
This is certainly a game I'd play in my own time. The art and the great intro suits the game but also shows how important these elements are.
P.S Chromatic aberration FTW. :D
- Zubrowka
took me about 10 death to survive :D
Really quite addictive! Simple but affective goals, the art and music suit it well.
Great stuff. :)
Nice game, I just would like to be able to catch up some frame when I'm "doing well" (dodging perfectly everything). For instance I started a game stuck on a wall, so I could see only half of my character, but then even by doing well, I didn't catch up anything and was still out of focus :)
Nice idea, really cool game!
The main menu was pretty confusing, my first choice was to go in the level editor, so obviously I didn't understand anything. Then I figured out that, and was able to play :p
Crashed when I launch p3_4.exe.
Some weird attack pose, but I guess they're drunk :p
Felt like playing chuchurocket under pressure xD
I was embarrassingly bad at this game! Really nice game regardless, loved the art.
Great mood and music, good job!
Nice idea, really enjoyed it :)
Funny game, I died pretty fast with the robot though xD
Great idea, awesome graphics. Good job!
Nicely addictive!
Really cool game mechanics (I admint I had to look the walkthrought):)
Apparently I;m too much greedy in this game to manage to survive xD
Sadly I'm Billy-No-Mates right now so had to attempt right hand vs left hand type affair. Loved the randomised weapon change idea. Graphics and sound certainly suit the game.
Nice one. :)
Nice mood, but I'm not sure what i was exactly supposed to do
I didn't really get the game, i just shot randomly until everyone were up .
The music just made me slice freneticly!
Really nice game, art is lovely!
Good job. :)
Funny idea :D
Short n sweet! Nice one. :)
I liked the random event but I think i died 13153 times because a cube randomly diseapeared xD.
good starting gameplay, now add some more :D
Easier in real life! :D
Really nice game, loved the Alice In Wonderland theme. Think I played this longer than most games so far!
Good puzzles, but very punishing to have to restart from start every time :)
Nice job for a first game :)
Really nice idea, I just wish I had retro boost on my spaceship!
Nice game, unfortunately I'm bad at typing xD
Nice storytelling, sad it's a bit short.
Seems like the control are smooth, but no one to play against.
Nice game, I really like the get cozy/spread mechanic
Not using twitter =/
Really cool. The questions were a bit confusing at first but then figured out the biased context in which to answer.
Funny, but is there really a way to win? xD
Haha, that was awesome - the guy in that outfit, the gameplay and art in general!
Really good job. :)
Really difficult after the first level but very good as well :)
Purdy!
Really nice game mechanic and art is awesome. Really could see this being played with friends on the WiiU.
Great job. :)
Very nice style, but very hard to target without a crosshair :p
Haha, couldn't stop laughing at Buffet Slayer.
Such a cool game. Had some style! Gratz to you both. :)
I was sold at "Procedurally Generated Kittens" :D
Cool idea, but as other mentionned I got some freeze on timer on the red timer.
Great game, not the usual game I've been seeing. The art and music work well and the intro was cool too.
Nice one! :D
Really cool game, not to pressured yet not too slow. The music and art really sets a nice mood.
I was a bit sh*t at it at first truth be told though. :D
Really good job.
Awesome, love the game.
Your boyfriend looks like the guy from League of Gentlemen! Sexy http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/images/clip/p006vm6j_640_360.jpg
Haha that's a novel game - not what I was expecting at all and happily surprised!
Sup, America eat ladies.
Really like the style, but a bit confusing.
Would have been easier by showing big arrow on screen, and it's really hard to know how good you are doing, my best score was 13 :(
Cute little character :)
Simple but effective. :)
Nice story telling.
Attack didn't work for me either =/
Interesting game, I think it just need a tutorial to start so player can get the basis. :)
Those dos are pretty harsh :p
Those dogs are pretty harsh :p
Nice game, the controls where super smooth and a joy to play.
Only thing that bugged out was, when I died my ship froze but the mobs kept coming, you probs know about that though I'm sure.
Anyway, cool!
Nice experience, bit hard to control but very enjoyable. I'll be honest,I din't manage to reach the moon :D
That's a really big game :O.
Tamago, my most favourite thing in the world.
Really nice and simple, had a lot of fun. Good job!
Cool game! Nice artwork too. :)
Really nice game, musics and sounds are awesome!
I love the particles all over the place! but it make it a bit hard to see anything xD
That was really cool. Loved having the choice to use turrets etc to defend and the music great too.
Nice one.
Nice mood, I like the mirror concept.
Can't count how many time I died !
Nice and relaxing on the eyeballs, especially good after hours of playing games. Nice one. :)
Tried to connect, been online for half a second (the time to type my nickname) then Chrome couldn't connect anymore to the website.
Really funny game when there is people on the server :D
My character got lost off screen a fair bit but all in all, really nice. Really cute art too. :)
Nice concept, although the hit box of alien is a bit picky :D
Nice game, at the beginning I was thinking that those bot were hard to avoid as I was running like a crazy guy, then I noticed they were moving only when I moved, and ran out of oxygen. Good balance of "hurry" vs take "your time to think" here :)
Kim Jong Un eats all the things!
Awesome game and the graphics are great. Nice one :)
Really nice, love the style.
Nice mood but same problem as mentioned before : I typed help, then I couldn't see the description of the room anymore, had to restart to reread.
Awesome game. Loved the art, the grey with the accent colours. (I'm biased towards that ;)) The intro camera is great to, as is the little camera zoom when going though a tight spot between the gaps.
Cool!
Good submission, I love the visual style and animation but agree with others in that dialogues / voting should be skippable (see my entry as an example). It's important to encourage replays and cater for the 'less patient' users :P
Otherwise awesome job, looking forward to your next entry!
I don't even...
Quaint visuals but I found the gameplay to be rather slow. Solid entry though.
Cute. Very cute. Found the controls more of a frustration than a challenge but enjoyed the experience non the less, good job :D
This great! Simple, fun and addictive. I'd love to see this on a mobile :D
That was a lot of fun :D especially running away at the beginning so the cat has to catch the tank! hehe, nice work!
Thanks! We had all the assets for another level, but wanted to try and polish what we had instead of cramming in content :D
The boss was going to explode, that's why he moves after you visit the server room, but alas.
Just uploading the source now ;)
Thanks for feedback guys, we're currently working on level 2 and fleshing out your 'options' in level 1 hehe, check back in a few days!
@Denis Chakarov
Try having a look at the the centre of the big flashing light :P
Cheers guys
@Benoît Freslon - I'll add arrow key support in the upcoming 'post' version, thanks for the heads up :D
Awesome game! Loved the mood and puzzle, though I found using the key on the door a little annoying as it would not trigger unless you clicked the 'perfect' spot, which was not the handle lol. Otherwise great work! Looking forward to your next entry :P
Nice concept, but poorly executed. I agree with the remarks on difficulty progression as well as the rotations of nodes reseting when you press 'retry' was confusing and frustrating, I could see this being quite addictive if done right though :D
Amazing how you were able to convey such a strong message with so little. Excellent interpretation of the theme, thoroughly enjoyed this :D
Fantastic mood and story, simple yet elegant. I take my hat off to you sir.
Great visual style and animation but the controls were pretty dire. Jumping over things on the ground was fine but having no air control and a forced jump movement made traversing platforms frustrating at best. I also found myself stuck on the edges of platforms sometimes and had to restart the game.
I had an idea similar to this where you collected one color and blocked another a year or so back, but I really your idea of inevitable death. Nice work :D
Awesome stuff, feels very polished. I too didn't realise I could charge my shot for the first few mins, but fun nonetheless :D
Was a bit boring to play but you make excellent excellent use of simple visuals. Looking forward to your next entry :D
Crashed (faded) to white for me too when clicking a fire square, game was still playable though...
Found it rather relative but could see it working well on mobile.
I genuinely love the controls, it was frustrating at first but once you've got your head around them it really helps to make you feel like a fish... dunno why... :P
Good work!
Loved the graphics on this one, and excellent mood. Though I found the movement controls a bit too 'floaty' for my liking.
Wonderful mood, good choice of music, well done!
Glad you enjoyed it! We tried to avoid the more obvious interpretations of the theme and went for 'infection' or 'beneath the skin'. Perhaps we strayed a little too far? lol
Nice little game :D Some explanation of the controls would have ben good, didn't realise I had to click to drill for 30 secs or so, and it was frustrating that I couldn't move diagonally, otherwise solid entry!
Fun little game! Controls during battle can be a little fiddly though, sometimes part of the map won't highlight, indicators above each unit for how many moves they have left in a given turn would be really useful and it's hard to tell where planet tiles actually are due to the angle of the camera. Music is awesome, attack animations are awesome, background is really awesome :P
Simple but well executed. Good amount of puzzles too! Little dudes on the planets are cute :P
Hey, thanks for all the great feedback! I've done a new build with some balancing changes, it's still a challenge but I've removed a lot of the randomness, the AI now attempts to make a new connection once every 2 seconds on a single random planet rather than a random chance to make a connection on each.
Never made a game like this before and having played it to death it's hard to be a judge of what's actually 'difficult' anymore :D
Magic numbers all the way!
I've updated the 'balanced' version again to not terminate connections when a planet runs out of resource, instead nothing will be passed until enough has regenerated. I've also set the default connection tier to 'fast', so clicking on a planet slows the connection rate after establishing a new connection (useful for moving resources between flanks while not compromising your defence).
Thanks everyone! Keep the feedback coming! :D
Verycool to watch when zoomed out, though not sure if you can class the submission as a 'game' :P
Awesome entry! Love the visuals, though the music gets a little repetitive :P
2349, great fun! I found the click areas for the planets to be a bit off sometimes and it was very frustrating that all connections broke when a planet died. But seriously good work, props on the sound effects, made be feel I was 20 years younger :P
Graphics were fantastic, music got a little repetitive but sound effects were solid, only gripe with controls was not being able to press attack and jump at the same time. <3 the attack animation!
Survived until the 'reprogramming' :( damn you humanity!
First off, holy filesize batman, 200MB?! :P
Great mood, fantastic pixel art and interesting gameplay, solid entry :D
Wow very unique, I love the concept and your take on the theme, the only gripe I have is feeling dizzy having to refocus my eyes when teleporting those blocks. I get that it's from the phone camera perspective but it'd be easier on the eyes if it was like looking through a window. Probably just me though :P
No enemies? :( nice graphics though!
Lovely mood and the controls were tight, camera jitter was a little annoying (probably a frame behind, use LateUpdate() for your camera), overall excellent entry!
Took a minute or so before I realised how to turn left and right (mouse camera support would have been good for non rift users), was pretty freaked out by the enemies the first time I saw them, but the game was fun to play, nice work :D
Fantastic work on the story and atmosphere, I found the controls a little too 'floaty' and the attack hit box to be very buggy (I managed to hit and kill something almost half a screen away >.<) but over all excellent entry.
Ramen brother
Tight controls and minimal to the core but couldn't see the connection to the theme
Cool concept, really needs an AI to play against though, or networked mode as Hippolyta mentioned
Little confusing to begin with, I thought I had to make a connection to drag a planet :P Love the style and take on the theme, excellent work!
Very polished, particularlly love the transitions between stages
Nice tight gameplay, excellent music, no bugs (that I could see :P) and cool to see a 2P game. Good work!
Spent the most time on this game than any other so far, addictive...
Nice take on the theme and well executed! Platforming feels a little slow, but I think that's due to the animations. Great work!
Intro could do with a skip button but...
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW THEIR LITTLE FACES ARE SO DAMN CUTE
Also damn you for crossing the controls ;) I probably wouldn't find it too hard if it was A/D/W and 4/6/8 for left/right/jump on each character.
Excellent submission, best game I've played so far!
I don't even. Random, but surprisingly fun :D controls are quite cumbersome though, especially when playing by yourself lol
Fantastic visuals, although I struggled a bit reading the text it fit the aesthetic well, solid game, awesome work :D
Reminds me of osmosis, fun to play and well executed, nice work! :D
Haha I loved the death effects, great work
Definitely had a few WTF moments playing this :D Very unique, and a lot of fun, nice work! (And that song at the end <3)
Hehe, loved the sound effects, died a few times thanks to those damn asteroids but got the hang of it pretty quickly. Awesome entry!
lol, unique concept, loved it :D
Awesome submission, I was a little confused at first, an in game tutorial or button prompts would be good but otherwise, loved it :P
Unique visuals really make this game, the controls and collisions were somewhat frustrating however, trying to fall down a 1 square gap but constantly catching one edge or the other almost made me rage quit :P I think more air control and gravity (read player weight) would really help. That aside I did enjoy the experienced and loved the way collecting each objective mutated the environment. Nice work :D
The tight controls make up for awkward collision areas and while simple the mechanics are quite enjoyable and challenging, nice work!
I really liked the overall style of this game, and it's quite relaxing to play, great work!
Wow, this is awesome! Haven't had the chance to play it with someone else yet but there's a lot of depth in the gameplay, especially for a 72 project! My main criticism is the lack of good player location indication when the match starts, as sometimes the controlled character spawns at the top of the screen and you can't see the label (perhaps always spawn the player in the same position?) otherwise nice work.
Interesting mechanics although confusing at first, and that fail sound :(
Hey guys, thanks for the great feedback!
I've been working in the evenings since the end of the jam to try and finish all the features we wanted to add in:
Done:
Advanced AI: Zombies have line of sight and track your last known position
Flares are useful: Zombies will be attracted to flares to help you distract them when you're low on ammo/health
Optimised lighting: lighting is now 30% more efficient, yay!
Coming soon:
Objectives: collect objectives scattered around the map to earn money
Shop: spend money on flares, ammo, health and new weapons
Pickups: ammo, flare, money and health pickups around the map, they will be quite rare to find though!
Help screen: helpful popup with controls, credits, volume control etc
Win condition: earn enough money to buy your freedom
I'll be uploading a new build tonight, so check back then! :D
@sam thanks! I spent most of the first day implementing it, but I think it was definitely worth it :D If you're interested the implementation was loosely based on this article: http://ncase.me/sight-and-light/
The AI was the second biggest time sink since I had to basically rebuild the collision mesh for unity's navmesh tool in the xz plane and convert lookups into it back to the xy plane at run time.
@pkenny thanks for the feedback! It was actually a concious decision to make blood appear in non lit areas as we intended to have limited ammo, which would limit the abuse of 'probing' while add a risk/reward to it (probing is useful but you don't want to waste ammo)
Added objectives, shop and a winning condition :D
@killthealias haha thanks and nice catch :P fixed it
Wasn't a fan of the music, but the gameplay was solid and rather addictive :P
This was awesome! :D Nice ending too
Brilliant art style, and while a multiplayer game, was still fun to play alone. Nice work!
Particle idea is awesome, would be cool if they exploded and reconstructed pixel for pixel :P
Cute! Very cool way of moving between levels, awesome models and animations, good mood and simple yet fun gameplay. My only gripe would be hitting enemies was a little unsatisfying, they just... slide away :P audio on hit and a particle effect would go a long way. Otherwise great work! Looking forward to your next entry!
Fitting an entire RTS map onto one screen and it still be playable is no easy feat, nice work, I'd love to see this more fleshed out :D
Very tight controls and impressive level of polish, awesome work!
Nice idea, would definitely benefit from AI opponent option though
This is amazing. So simple yet seriously addictive, probably my favourite game this Dare :D fantastic work!
Quite fun although I found the collision areas a little frustrating and the shadows from chunks behind me disappearing onscreen rather distracting. Not sure if the placement of obstacles was completely random but there were occasions where I felt like there was no way to get past a given layout, having preset chunks that link together may have been a better approach. Controls were good although tight turns threw the split of axial movement into sharp relief, may have been easier if the sleigh only moved in it's facing direction.
Loved the visuals and never got tired of seeing the snowman with shades, seriously 'cool'... *cough*
RSI inducing gameplay :D Nice first submission, looking forward to your next!
Nice single touch mechanic, would work really well on touch devices :D
Fun and challenging. Particularly liked that audio was divided between the two sides, it really added to the atmosphere. Great work!
Nice use of screen space, controls were a little floaty but otherwise fun entry, awesome stuff :D
Excellent atmosphere, and while I'm not a fan of the pacing it does suit the style and presentation. Nice work!
Awesome game, impressive amount of content and fantastic art. Great job guys!
Movement ruined the experience for me, and lack of audio didn't help build any kind of atmosphere. Mechanics where interesting and I'm impressed with the amount of content, but fail to see how the it fits the theme.
Cool idea but running in chrome I got constant dialogue popups when I died to the point of having to force quit
Surprisingly complex, would really benefit from in-game tutorial/prompts, otherwise original idea and good execution.
Fantastic art, audio and tight controls but having a few hints in games as your exploring would be good, maybe just having a 'marker' where all the hidden collectables are so you know you're trying to find the entrance to certain areas rather than just running around rubbing yourself against all the walls hoping to get lucky :P Aside from that, this is definitely one of my favourite entries so far!
Wasn't too keen on the controls at first but they grew on me :D good work!
I DIED A HERO! Strangely addictive, took me a moment to realise I have movement points, after that it became a game of taking the shortest route between doors while collecting boots :P
Awesome work!
Art style and audio were top notch but the controls were horrific, lack of air control completely killed it for me
My Eyes! :D
Fantastic interpretation of the theme, solid entry although I did find the music got repetitive quick
Controls were awkward, bee sound effect got annoying very quickly and the bugs trapped me against the side of the level a few times... loved the visuals though :P
Hahaha! Hitting stuff with the football was surprisingly satisfying and a little addictive.
Really loved the aesthetic :D
Music got a little repetitive but I really liked the story and artwork :D nice work!
This was pretty awesome! Movement felt slick and little touches like animating the hands when jumping really made it feel polished. big grip on windows though, I have 2 screens and the cursor wasn't bound to the window, so it kept minimising if I happened to click in the other screen. Otherwise great work!
Loved the idea! Sound effects were a little grating but the visuals were cute, particularly the bugs :D
I really liked the natural progression of learning how to play the game by learning how to start the game :D had the development console popup a new times with lots of null exceptions though and the sounds were pretty grating but otherwise a fun experience!
Gameplay was simple but well polished, particularly liked the music, makes the experience very relaxing :D
That was tremendous fun! The camera sound have done with being a bit higher, as I found by penguin obstructed by view somewhat but otherwise solid game!
Very interesting effect, shame that's all this was, no real game or objective and wasn't related the theme either :(
I would love to see this developed further however. As others have suggested a puzzle game with objectives to achieve in each possessed person's perspective to solve a larger problem could be awesome.
Concept is great, but didn't feel like there was much 'game' here, just being able to move the monster up and down to avoid attacks from enemies would have been enough.
Loved the art and felt cool switching between killer and normal guy :D
Fantastic mood! Was a shame that the camera didn't move though, style reminded me of Hotline Miami :D good work
Very cute visuals, and a simple mechanic done very well :D nice work!
Thanks for the feedback :) fixed that this morning alongside a collision issue: I forgot to stop the player's ragdoll from colliding with the character controller, making the controller explode on occasion and the player fall through the ground! :P
You may need to clear your browser cache to see changes
Ah crap, I'll look into it, seems to happen after a period of time so maybe a accumulation value isn't getting cleared correctly. And it's not very clear to be fair but the sword is held up by a pair of arms.
Hopefully that's it fixed now, please let me know otherwise :D
I fairly sure it's a bad tangent vector from a cross product. Normalizing cleans it up.
Thanks for all the great feedback! The blue collectibles (souls) were intended to be used to unlock each of the powers but we ran out of time to incorporate this. We left them in the game because they were fun to collect :)
This is one of the best games I've played so far this LD, art was beautiful, sound was spot on (girl's weeping and cries for help were chilling) and the mechanics were fun and innovative. Seriously great entry, thanks for participating :D
Really like the jump animation, simple and super cute :D found the running section pretty hard but good fun none the less. Nice work guys!
Nice aesthetic, pretty fun too :) nice work!
Monster wants bagels!
Odd. But loved the art :D
The level of polish here is astonishing! Great music, visuals and tight controls. Nice work as usual mate :P
Nice visuals and liked the visceral feeling of pulling veins out but couldn't find a reason to keep playing more than a minute or so. Experience seemed to be lacking purpose.
Spawning enemies when you jump is novel and it works really well, the player moving when you turn is really annoying though :P
Struggled with the webgl version but great concept :D
Unable to play :( watched video though, looks great, shame.
Haha the music was amazing, the visual style was very unique and there was a good amount of gameplay, nice work guys!
Beautiful aesthetics, annoyed me a little that controls were 4 directional but it added more of a challenge. Nice work guys! :D
Great polish and weight to the combat, although I did find his attack frustratingly slow at times.
Spent a while jumping over rocks and into pitch forks until I noticed the tip in the comment. They really do look like obstacles :P Otherwise nice solid entry, great work!
Really liked the concept, shame these was no actual losing or winning conditions, just a 'you died' 'you won' popup and click to restart would have been enough.
Really needed something to do, but was fun to knock stuff over :D
Simple and very well polished :D great work guys
The laser sound is awesome!
Wow! This is brilliant! Love the little animations for marrio :P Look a moment to work out the controls but that was part of the charm. Thanks! (music was great too)
Haha, this was awesome :D very innovative
Fun little game, would be good if the ewok's shot arrows at you or something
Got stuck on the third screen in the castle, the count fell in the hole and wouldn't climb out. Spent a good 5 mins clicking everywhere lol. Also noticed the platforms are a bit buggy. On the second screen it flickered back up and he would walk across when it was up (over thin air) and fall through it when it was down >.<
Really liked the art style, the intro made me laugh, and though the music was a bit grating it grew on me :P
Nice take on the theme, loved the music too :)
Really enjoyed this! The movement was spot on and reminded me a lot of super meatboy
Game itself it's much fun tbh, but the cute visuals and sounds make it a genuinely fun experience :P
I don't even, I'm not sure I can even... 5/5
Great visuals but jump was way too sudden, smoothing on the camera and air control would have made this game much more playable.
Great job on the art work! Wasn't quite sure what to expect in game play but turned out to be quite fun :D
Fantastic idea! Controls are awkward but seriously, great idea.
Swipe swipe swipe swipe swipe :D
Great fun, love the simple visuals and the sound fx were spot on, awesome work!
Got to level 3 before I realised I could move and attack myself :D
Score: 18124
That. Was absolutely. Amazeballs.
I found the input a little too smoothed even in the windows version, would have preferred 1-1. Great mechanics though, deflecting is fun and watching the Shadowdancer bobbing along to the music is delightful :D
Great work, looking forward to your next entry!
Such cute, much polish. The controls took a little getting used to but they weren't awkward. Loved the aesthetic, the only fault I could find is with the AI pathing/facing direction glitching out if an obstacle was immediately between them and me. Otherwise fantastic work!
Was relaxing at first but soon became an addictive challenge :P great work!
Cute little game, liked the square bear and he music was pretty and fit the pacing well.
Updated the build to better cull enemies off screen, should improve performance dramatically. Thanks for the feedback guys :D
Thanks :D
@HolyBlackCat pixel scaling is all thanks to this little class I wrote
https://github.com/Almax27/LD34/blob/master/LD34/Assets/Scripts/PixelCameraHelper.cs
@StMatn ah, that would be unity's texture scaling on lower quality settings, I'll remove all the default options and re-upload another build :D on the subject of audio it seems a prefab link broke when exporting the win64/web versions. I'll fix that in the updated version too.
Thanks for all the feedback :D
@utgarda Should be all fixed now :D ty
Great game! Some fantastic subtle hints on the direction of gravity (top/bottom bars and floating particles). Controls where a little confusing at first but once I understood the mechanics it was awesome :D
Also didn't pass the guard. Nice idea and really great visuals but needs optimising.
Great concept the controls were very frustrating though, the characters stop moving when pressing second button while moving, making the input feel like it's working against you.
Wow, this was really innovative! Graphics were a little lack luster, but would love to see this idea taken further.
Experienced massive performance issues about 30 seconds into the game, practically ground to a halt. Windows 10, internet explorer, i7.
Really great idea. I could see this working very well as a mobile game like Super Hexagon with half of screen scaling up and other half scaling down. I did however find the generated sizes far too random and in some cases completely impossible. Starting at a slower rate and increasing over time would have helped too, quite a few times I died after only 2-3 seconds because a large red was followed immediately by a small green which was very hard to see coming. This lead to the tactic of always being small unless you know red was coming to give you as much time to react as possible.
Fun though. Very fun :D
Super polished, interesting mechanics and great audio!
Odd but interested, and I can see potential, unfortunately it really needs polishing. Completely agree with Coomzy, would have been good to focus on a single level.
Loved the mood in this entry, controls were well implemented and I enjoyed the level design and unlocking mechanics. Overall great job!
This was a pretty big scope for a game jam, nice work guys.
Awesome idea, behavior of characters can be a little unpredictable but other a solid entry. Great work guys!
Nice use of two button controls. Art was crisp. Great entry!
Love the art, controls felt a little awkward, but great concept and well executed!
Graphics are well done and great thought up concept! Found it funny on collecting the 10th ring if the object is on a certain angle and press the controls, it will forever keep going up in the air, Loved it!
Art work is nicely done! I like the movement but unfortunately I could not find the bread vendor. (Summer)
I can't even...
Nope.
We would have loved to put more enemies and attacks in this game but unfortunately they were drawn up but had not enough time animate it :(. Thanks for the feedback though :) (Summer)
I really enjoyed playing this game, fits well with the theme! (Summer)
Love the humour of this game!
Fun game, enjoyed playing hard mode a lot! (Summer)
I liked the creatures, thought the graphics were cool and funky, dislikes the black boxed boarder showing through.
Thoroughly enjoyed playing this, the dialogue was engaging and there was enough content for quite a few play throughs. Great work! :D
Good idea with the main shooting bot, I like how when it is consuming others with a different ability that it turns into it. Overall good game.
This game reminded me of Dragon Ball, defeat only makes you stronger!
Tight controls, excellent music and perdy grfx. Nice one! :P
Fantastic atmosphere and excellent writing, wish there were more levels... MAKE MORE LEVELS! :P
quite fun, wish there were sound effect.(summer)
Fun to play, made me laugh! (Summer)
Great Graphics, liked the concept and difference's between characters, had a few glitches of the minions going backwards. Good game! (Summer)
Looks fun, like the music. Wasn't able to down load it on my mac, only watched it on youtube. (Summer)
Enjoyed this game very much and I love the characters and colours. (Summer)
Restarting from beginning was a bit hash but the dialogue really helped to give purpose to a retry. One of the most innovative entries I've played so far. Nice work!
The atmosphere was superb! I want to play more! What's in the Lab?!?!?!
Fun little game and the run animation is so damn cute I could stare at it for hours :D
Only suggestion would be to have more upbeat music
Lack of audio was a real bummer, especially since you picked a ninja theme. Teleport mechanic was well designed but the combat lacked impact and the hit range made engaging enemies quite awkward. Would love to see a more refined post jam version :)
Excellent variety of mechanics, one of the most innovative games I've played this LD. The pointer challenge was surprisingly difficult. But my favorite was the flashlight, although darkening the rest of the level would have really helped sell it.
Loved the pixel art, but found the movement a bit slow especially in the dream segments.
Hehe that was a giggle, nice idea!
I enjoyed playing as tank controls elephant. Fun little game and nice graphics.
The transition mechanic between times of the room is fantastic. Simple but very effective.
The music really sets the atmosphere and the writing is very provocative.
I'm not a big fan of point and click adventures, as I get bored easily hehe, but this held my attention. Great work :)
Rocket can be a little hard to aim at first, but is very satisfying to land a hit. Great work guys!
Awesome pixel art and graphics. Would have loved to see more variation in firing patterns for the weapons.
Great work! Love the style and the background is awesome! I'm a big fan of tight controls and a high difficulty which you have, but unfortunately due to the slow restart time (3/2/1/GO! every time) dying got rather tedious :(
Reminds me of the circus in Psychonaughts! Awesome!
lol, RSI or a cup of tea. I'll take the cup of tea :)
Great concept, graphics could have been better though hehe
Really liked the style and the game was well realised, but I did find a lot of the questions to be arbitrary and unfair, but hey, it is hell :)
Excellent platformer. The jump animation really gave weight to the jump and made moving abut the level genuinely fun. Got just on corners/walls a few times though which was a bit frustrating. Otherwise though a solid entry. Nice work :)
I can see you're a fan of bounce easing :D good work!
A bit confusing at first, but simple and quite addictive! Loved the visuals and the music fit well, repetitive and bouncy, perfect for factory work :P
Brilliant fun to play! Though I found the jumping to be a tad awkward, the player needs more weight and initial acceleration, the jump is too linear.
Loved the art style, with my only gripe being the black timer text, making it hard to read. An outline (red or white?) would have worked wonders :P
Great work and well implemented :D
Big fan of the clean art style
Quite deep for such a simple mechanic. Played for a good 10 mins :D I did find it a little unbalanced though. A few times I had a board full of sprays and there was one tile of 3 cockroaches, resulting in a chain reaction wiping the board of all my sprays. Perhaps when a chain reaction occurs it could convert into x-1 units on that tile, this would limit the chain, and prevent it form over propagating.
Cool game, a little unstable though :(
Couldn't work out what to do after getting the hammer :( Wonderful atmosphere though and post effects are spot on
Such ascii much love
Cute graphics and effects :D
The cursor not being consumed by the game is definitely a big issue though :(
While I found the controls felt a bit too floaty they did add a sense of feeling 'pathetic' and made near misses much more fun. Kinda like throwing a ragdoll around. Didn't come across any bugs. Great work :D
Mood was spot on, although the music got a bit repetitive.
Good variety of weapons and enemies, as well as things in the world to help you out.
That giant Ghost though :(
This is a great idea, and an interesting experience, perfect scope for a jam. I am curious how you might expand it into a more complete 'game'. There wasn't much to do here.
I'd like to see:
* More concrete goals
* Solving mysteries / spotting liars by talking to multiple people
* Dialogue choices with consequence, perhaps effecting your popularity/influence
* Events/minigames in the room
* Themed venues (casinos, pub, office, expo, etc)
I do love the feeling of anxiety and futility though :D
Awesome use of the theme! The start is quite difficult but once you've got a bear or two, it's much easier to keep your happiness above 0.
Well implemented and genuinely fun, but unfortunately lacked a goal which left the game-play unfulfilling.
Loved the music, and visuals, but found the gameplay to be a bit tedious I'm afraid.
I'd recommend changing the dropbox download link to use dl=1 instead of dl=0. This will provide a direct download instead of a redirect to dropbox.
haha great take on the theme! Unfortunately I was able to just mash buttons to win. The game should punish the player for pressing a button when there's nothing near the door. Perhaps reducing their score. Speaking of which, it would also be cool to see the score while you play.
Cons aside, visually this game was epic, the music fit the style well and it was just fun to look at :D
Struggled with the controls a little, bit enjoyed the experience none the less. Excellent atmosphere and style :)
Thought the background was glitching out at first, but it's actually a really nice take on the theme. Game itself was a bit limited, but fun none the less :)
That was super cute!! Awesome intro animation, fitting music and colourful/unique characters. This was just generally silly fun all around.
Having to carry the cupboard to the monster at the end was a nice touch ;)
First game I've seen made with cocos2d-x, nice :)
"A good night for a better assimilation"...
Is this what the inside of the Borg collective mind looks like? :P
Very simple but surprisingly fun, running away to heal while still damaging enemies felt a bit broken though.
Fantastic entry, one of my favourites. The visuals, audio and gameplay are all superb. Genuinely had a lot of fun playing this :)
That was bloody brilliant! Tip of the hat to you.
Good use of the theme, pretty graphics, sound effects were a little squeaky but overall I had fun :)
The animations and music give a lot of energy to the game and make it genuinely addictive to play. Great work :D
Awesome mechanics, although I found the gameplay to get tedious quickly, this is quite the accomplishment in 72 hours!
Music was cute at first but had to turn it off after a few mins lol, was driving me insane
Fun story, well written dialogue and excellent pixel art! Given you wrote this in HTML it was odd to have to download it. I would recommend hosting on itch.io or something so you can embed in this page :) otherwise great work!
Awesome work on the visuals, so unique! Loved the music and voice overs too. I found the combat a bit glitchy but appreciate that tweaking these kind of physics based games can be a nightmare. Impressive work given the time frame!
It seems the Obelisk does not do a good enough job representing health. We did break the convention of using the color red for indicating health to be fair, but it was an artistic choice.
We are definitely open for suggestions on ways to make this more obvious. I am apprehensive to draw attention to it in dialogue however.
Again thanks for all the great feedback, glad everyone's enjoying it :)
Wow! So much content for a jam game!
I found the music got a little repetitive, but I was playing for almost 30 mins :P
Nice game to play while playing other games :D
This was a little odd and actually felt like a typing challenge game :)
+1 for pixel boobs
Awesome character design! And even though the mechanics were simple there was quite a lot of strategy. Upgrades were a nice touch too. Wheely good entry :D
That was an genuine pleasure! Tight controls, clearly explained mechanics and solid level design. Best game I've played so far.
Fun concept, well polished and balanced.
Enemy knockback would have made the combat feel more satisfying, as it is hitting stuff is fun, but more like cutting through butter. Good music and mechanics otherwise, didn't find any bugs.
+1 for using the Wilheim Scream :D
Atmosphere was great excellent. The introduction was a good length, these kind of stories can drag on sometimes, but I felt the pacing was perfect here.
It would have been nice to see more dialogue tree branching and depth, but there was enough content to play through twice.
That was excellent! A not too difficult but very satisfying puzzle :)
Managed to survive 11 days. The music fit really well, and the mechanics were simple enough to not need to 'how to play'. Left me with a feeling of frigid futility.
Fascinating little game, such a simple mechanic but a lot of fun learning when (and when not) to interfere with Humanity's development.
I had performance issues with the embedded one too, and couldn't finish the game because of it. Humanity was sitting at 147-148, but I couldn't react fast enough to clouds because of lag :(
Loved it! One of my favorite entries so far! Well designed, executed and polished.
Pros
* Gameplay goals are intuitive
* Tight movement, aiming and weapon mechanics make combat very satisfying
* Graphics are good and UI is clear
* Hold 'e' mechanic adds an extra element of danger as you can't attack or move away without canceling (being able to move was a good choice as it allows a small amount of zombie avoidance and doesn't feel too restrictive
Cons (mostly nitpicking)
* Research takes too long - drags game out
* Tables can block gun shots unfairly (collider too big?)
* Without an ammo system previous weapons become redundant
* Shotgun doesn't do damage per 'shot' hit, meaning point blank does the same damage as 1% of the spread, making the shotgun a more effective long range weapon...
* More enemy types would be nice :P
That was a great little competitive game. 'Flying' around was fun although I would have liked to see yaw control too :)
Really nice idea, loved the minimal drawn art style and the music was very fitting.
Great idea and excellent execution, didn't really even notice the pieces weren't moving I was imagining it like a dynamic game of chess :D
Would love to see more player skills and maps (I get it one room :P)
Neat little game (a pun which will be abused I'm sure)
I liked a mechanic, reminded me of Fez, but there was no real context linking the perspective together, it all felt rather random to be honest.
Very fun little game, could totally see something like this working on a larger scale or with multiplayer like overcooked. Had a good bit of fun playing this.
Excellent mood, unique characters and surprising depth of decision. Nice work :D
Increase the firing and moving speed of the player and this could be a fun little game, unfortunately as is I found it more tedious than fun :(
Given the short time of 10h though I'm impressed you managed to finish the game, so kudos :)
Great concept and a good attempt a unique and interesting control scheme. It was a bit frustrating to play but I enjoyed the experience none the less
Working with ascii graphics is always a challenge and you pulled it off excellently!
Nice idea to have goals at the end, played through 3 times but could only get pacifist. Wonderfully simple, can think of so many great skins for this! Develop it further! :D
Beautiful atmosphere in this entry! Little head nod animations are awesome :P
Content and choices were both interesting and relevant. Music was chilling and foreboding, and my choices felt impactful.
Also the little jokes mixed in were a nice touch: "Oceania loses a shipment of boomerang in a storm. They don't come back" :P
Great work all round! One of my favourite.
Bizarrely delightful, great work! Nothing beats Minions and Mushrooms
That was awesome, played for a good 20mins, got to level 15 :D I noted that enemies attacking my hero didn't always do damage, but otherwise very stable game and fun experience!
Such cute, much true.
Great idea and pretty fun, the grid based movement was frustrating though. Would like to see floating point movement. I too was more interested in drinking coffee than doing work :) cute little animation
Loved the player animations, very slick. Thanks for adding the 'v' button to attack :P
That was an odd experience. At the start I though I was making her poop...
Awesome pixel art, and good use of theme. Hitting elves was a little unpredictable but that was part of the fun :D
Excellent idea, unfortunately the mechanics were too opaque. It was frustrating to keep seeing my character being tired.
Shooting direction by movement was excellent (similar to our game!) but I think you're using velocity not last key press to determine facing, which results in the player looking in unexpected directions after letting go of the movement keys sometimes. Otherwise a solid entry, particularly liked the screen shake :D
Simple, polished, loads of content. This is fantastic! Reminded me of Lemmings :)
Loved the intro, dramatic and powerful. The gameplay wan't however ;) Probably better as story/dialogue based game.
Very original idea, the implementation could do with a bit of work as it felt a little clunky. Otherwise a good entry.
Awesome use of the theme :D watching autoplay was mesmerizing, you should release this as a screen saver :P
Funky! :D
I would have liked to see the score while I played and have a highscore tracked after each play through. Otherwise a ridiculously bodacious game.
That was fun! Nice challenge and I loved the enclosing walls, subtle but effective.
Fun, but I was able to hurt enemies while firing and reversing into them - removing almost all difficulty. Instead of spawning projectiles on the player, perhaps spawning them slightly offset along the aim direction?
Interesting concept but I think projectiles moved a bit too slow and reflections were hard to control.
Very clever idea. Not overly obvious how you can stop trump, but that adds more depth for a second or third play through.
Great mood and tight controls - absolutely essential for the platforming sections, you nailed it.
I found stairs a bit buggy (colliders?) and was disappointed by the lack of a pickup sound.
Ending could have been a bit more satisfying or even final - a game over and restart would have been enough.
Otherwise a solid entry. Awesome work and welcome back! :D
Interesting use of the theme and a surprising amount of content for the time allotted, awesome work!
Screen shake added a lot to the combat, but it did get a bit too much after a while. It was fun to smack around dead bodies though :)
634 Ninjas
Simple but very well implemented idea. Love the graphics!
Tight controls and fun gameplay, the voice over was a laugh too. Have a cookie.
Lovely aesthetic and mood, but as mentioned in other comments the moment to moment gameplay wasn't very satisfying. It didn't really feel like any of the levels had a purpose.
Awesome visuals and style, engaging game play and well balanced given the time frame
Nice idea! Gameplay was a bit slow for me though and I couldn't really tell the mechanical differences between the traps (visuals were cool though). Also excellent music.
NICE! I loved these as a kid. We used to get them in christmas crackers, so this is extra fitting for the December Ludum Dare.
The Ball could have done with a bit more weight, and I agree with other comments on the controls needing improvement, especially the camera.
But otherwise a solid, fun game :D
Congrats on your first entry! Simple but fun :) try to allocate some time for audio next time though!
Beautiful entry.
Pros:
* Gorgeous visuals, although I find the character a little disappointing
* Mechanics lead to an interesting balance between defence and offence. Not letting enemies overwhelm the house but keeping the windows closed to stay safe, all the while loading the software. Excellent.
Cons:
* One hit death it a bit too extreme given the limited manoeuvrability
* No death animation for the player! An explosion particle effect would have sufficed :P
If you continue work on the game, I'd love to see house upgrades :D
Interesting idea but you really need some indication of cool-down for the skills and a passive way to influence the character's movement. It all felt too random I'm afraid.
Nice graphics audio and overall feel, but I did feel rather unsure if I'd finished the game or if it had bugged out, I ended up at a black screen
Nice idea, but rather short and it wasn't overly obvious I had to click the faces on my first try
Awesome style, and for such a glitchy game I didn't find a single bug :D nice work!
Very atmospheric, good choice of music, lack of character animations is a shame though
What a blast! Controls were a little awkward with mouse and keyboard, as I didn't have a controller to hand. But the aesthetic was great and the sound effects added a lot, shame there was no music.
Cursor wasn't captured for me (Web), which made looking around very frustrating :(
Interesting idea though
Thoroughly enjoyed this! Great humour and intuitive mechanics. Having a tutorial was a great idea and helped to give context to the puzzles.
Super chill, I like the slow movement, but it would be cool to have a speed boost mechanic.
