It work!
It's nice and there actually is a real gameplay.
I would have liked the whole map since i'm in place clichy.
Audio is great too.
That game is really great, perfect game design.
go LEFT : Q
go RIGHT : D
JUMP : Z
FINISH : ESCAPE
ESCAPE TO SUICIDE
No arrow keys cause i spilled coffee on it...
It's the interactive story of Orpheus and Eurydice.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orpheus
At first you are Orpheus, followed by Eurydice to get out of hell.
If you look back, as in the legend, Eurydice disapear.
It means you, the player, is responsible for it by interact with the game (also it explain why that STUPID STUPID Orpheus looked back).
Then You play Eurydice.
You can save Eurydice. BUT you can also win the game.
Well done if u won (except if it wasn't deliberatly). :) it can happen.
Sure!
:) Yeah i didn't have time to put a quite important screen so you may win even if you don't understand nothing.
it's a good idea and nice game. But if u just click on random middle guys you always win. It could be better if you have to create a well shaped chamber (is it clear?).
The story is well told. The "talks" are really great. Graphic + music go well together. I really liked the job thing.
Well done.
It's not working, don't know why. I launch it and then it freeze on 2nd screen...Same for your previous game.
Great, i liked it. Very nice and innovative. For me the fact that your "avatar" is the red cube and ennemies the green ones is enough for the theme. One of my favorite tested games so far.
Fun game, the Gallimimus at the beginning of wave 5 were scary.
Do you know Pierre isn't Masterchef, Ludo is...
Good game, real gameplay. Nice audio!
Great game! Really fun to play and nice graphics.
It's too easy for too long at the beginning, so you don't want to retry and it's really annoying cause else it would be much more fun since the gameplay is fun.
Quite fun. There is just something with the moving background : my eyes burn. :)
Sympa. Assez difficile dès le deuxième niveau. Dommage que ça lag un peu.
Great game
really great game, I can't manage to finish it, but i'll try again. There's real gameplay + a good and well told story. Congrats!
NIce and fun.
I liked the idea, maybe you could have made the good ending more difficult. Good job though.
Good idea but it's sometimes impossible and then really frustrating.
Very great game! loved it. Congrats.
I can only try the 2 player version. It's not really fun cause the first player seems to have a big advantage. But i'm sur it's fun with more player. I'll try it as soon as i can. Great audio and graphics.
With the music and animations and overall style, you manage to create a little world. I like it.
Nice variation of the canabalt-like. Good music. When the speed increased my eyes started to ache.
Nice, i liked it too.
Thx. Did u manage to finish it? Does it return to the first screen? I changed the end and never tried it.
It's the zebra structure. I Knew i should have playtested my game. :)
SPOILER ALERT : There is an underlying logic and a Zebra.
DAMN! There is a small bug with the blue light, she's hard to see...Also i just played it and the end is More brutal than it should be.
SPOILER ALERT 2 : This is not a game this is BLACK MAGIC, next time you see a Zebra you'll become black (well it doesn't work on black people plus it's not racist).
DUDE!? Did you broke my game?
Dude! It even work with black stripes. BEWARE.
@chronodrax : lol ;), it can't be un-played but i just saw that it can't be played again when you press escape at the end.
@deepnight : ABRACADABRANTESQUE, and the truth is that it's not black magic it's just the "Lost" Opening + Beyond jupiter from "2001: a space odyssey" plus a zebra. And even if the zebra is a plagiat, i'm pretty sure when you put together 3 plagiat it's not a plagiat ASK MY LAWYER!
DAMN! i thought i was writing in my head, now the magic is gone.
BTW there is no overall stars so please feel free to put the WTF stars in the overall ones.
:) Yeah i think one more day could have been a good thing
My favorite moment when i understand i can double-jump. Great game!
I can't get past the third level and i'm not sure i'm trying to do the right thing. can you give a small spoiler help ?
Really great idea. Maybe the level design and the difficulty is not totally good. But nice work.
Fun! Good idea, but how can it be so hard?
Very WTF game, you may beat me for the WTF award. Very nice graphics and audio. I liked the way i couldn't control the camera. I would have liked to see the pictures from closer so i can see the logic (since they mean someting about the creation of the tree). I made it to the beach and the path to go there was beautiful.
Great game. I's hard but i'll finish it! Very nicely done.
Blue layer plus purple circle, i can't go further, the sound and the transitions in post-compo version are really great! The most beautiful game of this LD so far.
Good idea for the gameplay! The sounds are a bit boring though.
IT WORKS FINALLY. I just had to click direct3D. I loled, great dialogues. Congrats.
I can't go through the second level...
I definitely felt something. i'd call it hardcore frustration. It's quite nice and i liked the music but that kind of die and retry makes me angry when i play, so i just don't. But i think it's well made.
Great music.
What did you use to make the music?
I didn't understand everything i guess. I shake the bag then everything fall then it's finished.
NIce work. I can't win though.
I don't understand the dash level either. I Erase all the elements OK, but then i die, why?
@plash dat troll
Shit i thought the WTF award was for me. I rubbed the potato a lot, water went crazy when 2 third of the screen was full. Then potato guy reappeared. Then i stop cause i was thinking about suicide.
GENIUS, perfect, and very nice graphics. Best game so far!
Great game. But there is no real challenge, u can't do shit at the end when u see stations being overcrowded. I'd like a slightly better version so i can play A LOT.
It's more a illustrated story than a game, there is no gameplay mechanics. But it's kinda cute.
Nicely done. I don't really see the theme but it's fun.
Congrats for your first game.
Fun, and touching story. Nice little birds.
I didn't get it. Is it a tetris with cubes?
it works very well! The sound and music are cool. I'm totally jamming.
I have one question : Minimalism was the theme, how did you use it?
I mean beside the names of the characters. It's like you make a game but you don't play the game, if the theme was "no weapons allowed" would the characters be named "noweap" and "onsallowed"?
That's what i was delicately implying. It's a shame but your game is so polished, and with the nonexistent link to the theme, someone could think you began working on it (the concept) way before the time. I find it disappointing cause your game is great and i'm sure you're a fair fellow. Also i don't like when someone gets so many positive comments.
Hum... I launched the game, fullscreen style. I closed my eyes. Now it's tomorrow. Oo WTF? It's dangerous to go alone, take this.
I can't play
Too bad there isn't a mechanic to transmit and stage the message. I like the statistics displayed though.
fun idea.
Interesting and fun. Well done.
Funny little adventure but the choices of control keys OMG. The music is fine.
I'm not sure i understand everything. Why would i make negative connexions?
Former ENJMIN student?
Very great game, and perfectly made. Addictive and even more with the highscores. I'll play it again. One of the best i tried so far.
Funny. Not very polished, i think there is a bug and the face phase. But i like the graphics and the music.
Very good concept, the music is great. The increasing difficulty is really great.
Good idea and fun game. Simple but different.
Thx.
psychomonster : To kill those asteroids youhave to take the shield on the first screen then activate it with SPACE on the 3rd screen, just watch your timing.
I'm glad you lie it.
@Pierrec : Yeah your totally right, a few more hours would have been a bless. I'll post a post-compo version soon, wanted to do that sooner but didn't have time.
Nice job! Funny. You made me want to finish the game even if it's hard. Graphics are not that bad i liked it.
A really good idea. The DDR with arrows is quite random though, i just clicked on arrows randomly and it worked. Very fun game, and nice graphics.
The mood is very nice. It's all made with good taste. well done.
funny and simple. Good use of the "counting to ten" mechanic.
Nice game, it's a little frustrating to have to restart from first level when you die though.
Very nice game, simple and classic but new. The music is great! Also i love vegetables.
Good idea. Too bad there is only 2 scores on the target. With a few improvements would be great.
Great game. The concept is simple, but you made a world and a mood out of it with audio, graphics, gameplay, etc. And that's what i like.
NIce audio and animations. Well done.
Quite fun and engaging, mining is always great.
The LOL award to you.
That's fun, but i can't beat the last level (i hope that's the last).
Very nice graphics. Simple gameplay but great, the jump is a bit frustrating though. The levels are great, good progression, nice last level.
Your graphics are the cutest, it's sad u didn't use it for the all game.
too bad controls are broken. I like the menu.
Nice game, fun to play. Lvl 15 was just impossible. 10 sec to put the squares seems not enough and it's impossble to change pieces but it's still fun.
Fun. Maybe not hard enough. Audio is good.
Nice game, quite hard but fun to play.
The ENTER on my keyboard is broken and the ENTER on the right of it don't seem to work on your game. So frustrating cause i love the graphics, and what i like in games is being lost and experiment and think until i understand what to do. Clearly your kind of game here. I'll try it again on another computer.
Really great gameplay, very nicely made. I'd love to play with other people in arena!
Maybe you should increase the need to cash the money (like getting one HP back). Or maybe I didn't get everything (like 2* multiplayer ennemies). I'll try again. Bravo.
My score is 45977.
Very nice entry. Everything is great and nice : menu, sounds, graphics, etc. Just put one simple game mecanic and it's a perfect entry.
Weird idea, you took lemmings and abandon the good mecanics. Maybe with more level and difficulty i could have been better.
Not everything was very clear but i laughed at one point (first time on this LD). Graphics are really great, audio is great too. Even if i didn't understand what i had to do i think everything is coherent and great.
Cool mecanics, too bad there isn't more levels cause you have everything to make really great level design. Nice ending, nice sounds.
@Tobias : Wasn't planned at first but yes i had too for time reason.
@Masadow : I didn't do anything, maybe YOU did?
Nobody tried to plant God in cactus?
@Kayelgee : Not my fault if you eat weird psychoactive cactus. Can't you just plant a tree, fuck a girl and die, starving like normal people would do?
The boss is so hard, not bad cause it was quite easy before.
Fun to play maybe a little too easy, lacks something though. Secrets hidden in islands, maybe add wind system to limit the boat's movements. But it's great, i like the minimap and upgrades.
Really fun and addictive game! Simple but very nicely done. I like the multiple fire upgrade so i save money and then i lose...I'll try again.
A runner without any new mecanics isn't very interesting but it's your first entry so good job.
Quite hard, the list of words on the right isn't really "user-friendly" :). I'm french so i really can't find some words.
Fun game nice graphics, quite hard. I like the boss.
Funny game. Why is it a jam?
Well told story. I like that you didn't over dramatized it, that you stayed subtle. I often find interactive fiction boring or anectodal. For once the "gameplay" is coherent with the plot and the writing.
Fun little game. I like the fact that you have to go forward more and more as the ennemies increase in number. The ennemy sound is horrible but it make us want to kill them even more so why not...
That mecanic always work, nice use of it. Fun to play, i got to lvl 20.
That's not the funniest game i've ever played, but for 6h LD it's not bad and overall it's quite nice.
Nice game, lacks some feedbacks on wether i win or didn't on each cure.
Nice entry, fun to play. It may have been better if the crouch couldn't last more than a few seconds, maybe you tried it and it wasn't...good job though.
Crash after a few try. Chain reactions games are always fun to play.
Very nice concept. Maybe too easy, cause soon trying is faster than thinking. But i liked it, graphics are ok.
Very nice graphics, cool game. The mouse going outside of screen is a little annoying though.
very hard but fun to play.
Good game, nicely made. I like the fact that you go back one level when you die.
Too bad you didn't have time to create gameplay, and impact the choices you make, could have been great.
Wow, very beautiful and also quite scary. Very good job. It made me think ok solaris with the weird big ocean and people appearing behind your back.
Very good entry indeed! I like that you won, it's not graphic-polished-effects game, it's just a nice mood and a really great mecanic perfectly used. The only frustrating thing is the short loop on the music but you put a mute button and that's what i call "great Ludum design" :)
It's really a great concept. It started to bug (audio looping, and no collisions on certain items) so i couldn't finish it. Also i may not be intuitive enough on how the fights work. But i'd love to play again, one of the best entries so far.
I'm not sure the mecanic really works, it seems the place where you begin isn't really fair. It's nice though.
Good entry. Not very intuitive to know how the money earning increase but it's still fun to play and nice.
The last phrase was not needed and paradoxically killed the punk feeling. The "made in 48 minutes" was enough. Your last phrase transform the "fuck you" in "i need attention". Your game is the ugly child of the Clash and Avril Lavigne. the art is stunning though.
@Seme Normaly your choice of dialog should have changed the last dialog with the Whale, but i lacked the time.
@Pierrec There is one ending (not enough time for the second one), and it's when you try to catch a star.
Yeah about the gameplay, i had a hard time with a few things so i didn't have the time to finish. There should have been tricks to do while jumping out of the water and harder rings to catch. I am sorry for that.
@ActionRemix There is a bug on the third fish dialog, you have to click on the dialog fast or u drown.
@csanyk The star is in the sky
It's the most beautiful game of this Ludum dare. You created an atmosphere and a world, it is really great! REALLY.
I agree totally with previous comment by drnick.
That's great. perfect ratio between dumb and edgy. Very educational and not too cool for school. While playing your game i've been tranported in an alternate 80's where people invented home computers before television. PLUS I've learnt something (not really but i could have).
Some good ideas and funny dialogs, but it's a little hard to get what you are doing. I'll try again.
Nice art and sounds. Nice atmosphere.
nice entry, fun to play, art is not that bad and i like the music.
Good puzzle game, real challenge.
Great mecanics and use of the theme! NIce audio and storyline. I have to admit i cheated (printscreen, mirror, reverse add transparency,etc.(not on the first level! i am not totally dumb)) Cause my brain was hurting too much.
nice game, fun to play!
I don't laugh easily but your game is funny! Graphics are great! Audio too.
Very good game, real exploration mecanics. The controls are hard but great for that game. The death by being stuck against a rock by a jellyfish is quite frustrating though.
it's nice but lack some challenge. I now do want to read the novel though.
That was really creepy! i'd like to know more about Angelina, gonna search on the web.
Nice art and sounds. Maybe you should have told for each level how many moves needed at least to add challenge.
The music is really good but i don't like the level design though.
I really didn't get the puzzle mecanic, i just connected the dots to the big one and it worked everytime. Is there a mecanic? Maybe i have been extremely lucky? I don't get the story if it isn't true why write it? Is it a trick? Like a reward to make us want to finish the game?
Good idea and good game, i like the audio. It is a little too long to play again when you lose.
It's nice but it's quite boring to play like that. For a first entry it's great though, sounds, nice art. keep going!
Platforms games are always fun. The audio is so BAD i wanted to punch my computer hoping u'd get hurt!
Good puzzle. Quite hard.
Good idea. Too short maybe.
NIce art, good concept. She finally agreed to go on a date with me <3.
Nice done for your first entry! Did you make the music too?
I think it's nice. I destroyed all the blocks but i'm not sure i won anyway. Maybe add a little gameplay next time but i like the idea of night and day and rain cycle.
Keep going.
NIce art and sound. Simple mecanic but very well designed.
welcome to the ld, good first entry.
It's a great first entry! It's a real game with actual game mecanics. Fun to play.
Very nice mecanics, fun to play. The sound may be a little unfriendly some time.
I really dig the fact that you want to let some kind of experimentation, observation and learning. Your game seem really great, i like the concept. BUT YOU HAVE TO TELL A LITTLE MORE! I don't know how my choices are affecting next generation of Evo's. Please explain more i want to play it for hours but i need to know at least what i'm doing.
That's way better! I understand now better. And the game IS what i hoped it was. Really great i love the idea. I don't really now what you mean by "long paths" and "paths" and "walls" but it's now intuitive enough to try thing and see how it reacts. Favorite entry so far.
Good game but not challenging enough for that kind of gamelay.
Our games share the same name. I like mine more but yours is nice too ;)
Graphics are greats. Sounds too. Enough too create a coherent atmosphere and universe. Gameplay is quite simple but i like it.
OMG that's hard! But it's a really fine puzzle game, and the art is beautiful. It's not often puzzle games are that great, you have done a perfect level design job and the mecanics are well used.
Very nice art and interesting mecanics, too bad it's really not connected to the theme.
DUDE OMG you fucking said 5000 to win. I stopped a little at 4999, smiled, chose a zombie, AND I KILLD THE FUCKER! Nothing happened. Then i killed 300 more, nothing. Where is my reward, i just wanted a nice ending screen OMG. My finger hurt, the fighters were depoping like crazy. Your graphics were great.
Fun game, not the most original but fun to play.
@Ixeno : How would you have time to discover the truth then?
@Snail_Man : Very well done my friend! A real rollerskating hero! too bad you didn't finish and unlocked the BIG SURPRISE
@Takashy87 : yeah sorry that can happen i lost a lot of tiny guys too still don't know where they can be.
@frogcheese : Normaly you have to finish the 12 lvl so you can go to the last 4. But i fucked up somewhere and also it was even harder, so if you just teleport to the 12th and beat it you reach the end, but you'll never know the FUCKING TRUTH! Play again. Or if you finished everything and still find it short it's cause your a platformer genius (i myself finish it in about 3minutes).
@Aomeas : Dude you just suck at videogames. My music could have been great but due to a lack of time it's just shitty, thx anyway :)
@mklee : Thx that was the point.
@john : it's the "club" and it's easy, i'll show you : crouch jump crouch jump crouch. (pro-tip : you can crouch the whole time cause i didn't have time to make it last only 0.7 seconds like intended). And for the rest you just won a kiss.
@DDfranky : Yeah i wanted to improve the system but didn't have time, i want you to do the levels again and again so you have time to understand the words but it can be frustrating. (PRO-TIP : you can hit red boxes intentionaly when you understand the order to win some time).
Cute graphics and quite fun to play.
Good mecanics, really fun to play. Too bad there isn't more levels. The music is good.
Perfect party! Took me a while but i did it. Really good game best one so far (only played 6 but still).
Very nice mecanics, good game pretty and all, i liked it. But How do you know my name for the leaderboard? Are you what young people call pirate?
I'm sorry but you have to stop making click games. It's just sad how bad it is, that's nor elegant, nor interesting, nor even funny to play those. You didn't make a bad click game, apprentice are ok but still. Cookie clicker is enough for a whole century.
Good entry. The collisions on the edge is maybe a little hard. But i like the game over and the 3 seconds before game start, well designed.
HI, thx for your comment. I like your game too! Graphics art great and the story is good too. The system where you hack object in chain is a very good idea. I think doing LD alone is better cause you need to be creative to do things you can't normaly do. good job.
Les différents mondes sont agréables à visiter. J'ai un peu l'impression de faire des aller-retour sans trop comprendre pourquoi, ça manque un peu de challenge pour un platformer et les déplacements sont un peu rapides pour un jeu d'exploration. Je ne peux pas voir le bas de l'écran de jeu sur mon pc. Mais un entrée plutôt réussie pour un premier platformer, je ne l'ai pas fini mais je vais retenter.
NIce game, i too find the leaves collision annoying but it's not a big problem. The atmosphere is really good and so is th sound.
The game is very nice but i don't get the goal. How can i know which one is the crazy granny? I like the idea and the atmosphere though. Would like to see it developped further.
funny game, good interpretation of the theme, nice arts. But, to be frank, quite repetitive to be fun to play.
Good first entry ! Quite fun to play. You should put a single key to play again not R and then X. The theme is not really there though.
Nice art and good puzzle game, not utterly original but well made.
Good mecanics. Game is bugged after the really hard level (5 little jumps in a row. I don't know what is after but until there i think the difficulty is too much reliant on the platform and not enough on the color mecanic. I would be great if the level is finishable only with one color and you have to use others only as platform in the right order. Maybe it's what you did in next levels but sadly i can't play it. Still the game is good, art style is great too.
Good mecanics, good challenge. The third (or 4th) level is hard i can't finish it i have to try again. Very good job for your first LD!
The mecanics are well designed, But without IA it's not very challenging, too bad.
Guys please. Dont' make clickers, it's shitty and useless there is no game mecanics in a clicker. Plus, even the shallow but satisfying feeling when you earn points by clicking is badly made cause there is a time when a new ennemy spawn where your click doesn't do shit (never do that in a clicker). On the brighter side, your graphics are good, the power thing, jauges are good too and it's not a bad clicker overall. But please next time try to explore on a real game mecanic (even a simple one like a platformer or puzzle or shooter).
I don't really like the fact that you never care about the theme. I wonder if i like the fact that you don't really try anything outside of your confort zone. As usual your game is really polished, nice, fun (not that much fun compared to previous ones). I feel like you are a professional LDer. Your game is PERFECT it's true but in bad way. It's like going to a concert to hear the album. I'm not only a jealous folk, i also think about what your technique could achieve "in live". Does it make any sense? (plus the particules at the end tried to destroy my computer ;) )
The feeling when you play is great the sounds are perfect. I prefered to just walk in there bumping every walls than thinking about where to go cause the feeling : i like it. Bumping into walls. Good job.
Veri good idea, original and well made. It's very funny and i like your "staging" and the camera effects you used during the dialogs. Humor is too often limited to a written joke. First Ld game which make me laugh.
It's not the best but it's not that bad. The art is stunning :) and your "mouse writing" is pretty. You have to learn how to make a decent jump for the next LD and that's all.
Nice entry, simple mecanics but well designed. NIce art. I ree with ben lehman for a few improvements.
I totally control the Verse. Thought i'd be overhelmed at first but i managed to come back stronger. Good game, vry nice visualisation.
24. The whole idea is quite adorable. Best use of the theme. :)
NIce game, fun to play and i like poems. The music good i feel it, i like having all my fingers on the keyboard it's like im pro typewriter and musician too.
Very nice game, good idea. The missiles are very agreable to lauch. The art style is great.
Very well made game, challenging and fun. Nice arts. The mecanics are a little frustrating but good for the LD. Good job.
WOW. First time i try mecanics i've never seen before. It's rare and precious. I feel maybe controls don't respond very well. Make more levels, improve graphics and give me the new version please. Bravo.
Nice game, I like the background colors and the combo.
Setting the mood with the video is a brilliant idea. The story is interesting and not too long or too pompous like it sometimes is in interactive text game. I liked it.
Did you already rate 111 games? in 2hours? 1 min/game ? How is it possible?
NIce art, gameplay a little frustrating. It's like a platformer with a double jump but you need to prss N and M and not jump key twice. You need to find something else to do in spirit form.
Good idea, not very "user friendly", took me some time before figuring out what to do. And i've been stuck, never found the purple soul on right screen while unreachable on left one. Nice effects.
Well that's nice and all. PRETTY frustrating when a understand that nothig was loading aftr first level. Too bad you didn't have time to finish but nice first entry. Welcome to the LD!
The only way to play that game is to speedrun it. Else it's hard and too imprecise on the jump. Then it's fun (still hard). I like the arts and the sounds.
Quite fun to play, a little frustrating sometimes. Good to have a leaderboard.
Not the best game i played but you know what ? Not the worst either :)
Welcome in Ludum Dare, good first entry.
I like your idea, the mecanic with generations and transmitted skills was the same in my first game ever. It lack something though, a "message" or some gameplay or an ending. But everything is very well made and art is great. Good job my man.
Good puzzle. Well made and very challenging.
Very beautiful game. Many details, everything is well made and the challenge seems right. But after 35 month i started to be a little bored since i only had to wait and buy the more expensive things without any need to custom prices or lines. Very good for a LD though ! Even more for a FIRST LD.
I still don't know what you didn't get about my game though. :)
Good mecanics, fun to play. Art is nice. I feel sometimes i just can't do anything to block, maybe a dash would somethin like that could be agreable. good job anyway.
I had a hard time with the 4th stage but i liked that it wasn't too easy like it sometime is with that kind of game. I loved the last stage! Graphics were good. Well done.
Faster movements are indeed necessary. I find the background to be gorgeous.
The concept is good, controls can be a little frustrating but it's still fun to play.
Maybe a bit har. Simple mecanic but well made.
The controls are too imprecise to have challenge on platform. Well done for the mecanics, my friend made something approaching and it seemed to be hard to code (the game is called confusing landscapes). And doesn't look like portal it look like antichamber (best game ever). Good job.
You shall not make a platformer with imprecise controls.
Too much frustrating to be fun. Graphics and everything is good though.
I don't really like puzzle games cause it's always the same mecanics. Then metaphorical puzzle games appeared, some were good. Then many people made metaphorical puzzle game but without real puzzle. And i'm happy when i play a good one, yours is good. I liked the fact that clues lies in quotes i like that there isn't one mecanics over and over but more discover new mecanics by experimenting each level. graphics are great the eyes mecanic is clever. Too bad there isn't more chapters. Bravo
It is nice, the mecanic is good, maybe a missed ship could destroy (shrink) the left asteroid without creating debris?
Very great game and great concept. Love it!
Simple game but very well crafted! scoring/timer mecanics is great.
Nice game. Controls are hard but the car doesn't slide on the snow and it feel weird, why put snow then?
It's funny, and the painting idea is good.
Very cool game! Maybe slow the level completed but DON'T freeze them, the flower being whimsical is great.
Ballons are really creepy
@Benjamin You're absolutely right. I was planing on doing something like that but the lack of time made me just put everything together in a more or less playable way. In the post compo the fractal monster should gain speed everytime you click...
@Pierrec you have to click (no time for any feedback on the click timer so it's kinda frustrating i know)
I really liked your game. Finished it a few times. I'd love to have more levels. it's weird enough but with a real gameplay.
Je suis un peu partagé sur ton jeu. Comme d'habitude j'aime beaucoup ta manière de créer une narration immersive avec seulement quelques lignes de dialogues bien écrites. En trois clics j'étais pris dans ton jeu. Mais la fin m'a pas mal énervé. C'est comme si Mad Men s'achevait sur une pub mettant en garde contre les dangers du tabac et de l'alcool.
Si le thème était "sensibiliser aux violences domestiques" tu aurais clairement mérité la première place mais j'aurais aussi clairement eu le choix de ne pas participer. Ton jeu est-il bien fait? Oui. Avais-je envie d'y jouer? Non. Je suis très intéressé par les serious games et les newsgames mais ce jeu n'est pour moi ni l'un ni l'autre mais une posture morale facile, le jeu aurait aussi bien pu se terminer par : une d'elles va mourir dans un accident de voiture, du cancer, du SIDA, etc. Je ne veux pas te trasher, ce n'est pas le but mais je suis un peu déçu lorsque l'on prend mes émotions en otage (d'autant plus quand le jeu commence très bien).
Rien de personnel, ce n'est que mon ressenti, puis...j'ai quand même fait une comparaison avec Mad Men ;)
I got some sort of a mixed feeling about your game. As always you are very good to create immersive stories with a few lines of good written dialogues. I was really into your game but the ending felt like a cynical dagger into my naive heart. It's exactly like if Mad Men finished with a spot on the dangers of smoking and drinking. If the theme was to create a game about domestic violence yours would definitely be the best one, but do i want to play that kind of game in LD, absolutely not. I love serious games and newsgame but i think it's neither one of those but an easy moral pose as the ending could have been : one of those will die of cancer, one of those will be killed in a car crash, AIDS, etc... It's very well made but i don't like it.
Oops Sorry for that i thought i lost the english comment...
It's a little repetitive and too easy. I only died of boredom. But for a LD it's not that bad, the weapons arn't exactly unconventionals though...
good idea but changing power is quite frustrating, i 'd have liked to do it with the mouse wheel!
Fun game, and fun weapon (too bad you can't also kill ennemies with the rod). If nothing is weird in a LD game then it's not interesting, yours is.
Good Original idea. Very polished. Nice to find that kind of weird game in LD!
Fun to play. Not that unbalanced.
It's the best Cloud-moving-to-kill-angels-while-making-the-countryside-lively game i've ever played. But the moving clouds part is quite frustrating. ;)
Fun game to play and interesting take on the theme. Uncle joe never came after tuto though. Maybe it was a little too easy for the gameplay you have (i just died of boredom after a while). And the music is a bit awkward. But i's well crafted and engaging.
Classic but fun to play. You should have put the bird a little more on the right i think.
Wow that's actually a very good game! Very fun to play and well designed! I've made it to the level 10 for now. I'll try again, that's the kind of game you want to play again.
PS: you tried my game and yes everything disappear you have to click to see the world (once every 5 secs but i didn't have time for the feedback on that).
Wow that may be so ugly that it's somehow ok. Quite WTF i like that but not really fun to play. Well fun yes but not thx to the gameplay. Weird enough. Thx. 5 stars on spanish...well you seem to have opted out of that category...too bad.
funny game.
Great idea! I liked it, fun to play and quite different than most LD games. Level design may be a little off but it's still a nice entry!
The weapon is very much conventional. All the game is really. But it's fun to play (real gameplay and progressive challenges).
You tried my game (but didn't tried to click that's why you didn't see anything...). Also it's not my first LD game (only my first 3D one).
Classic but quite fun to play
Quite cryptic but very nice entry.
i think it's not bad, maybe a little easy. And it doesn't fit the theme really. But it's quite fun.
Good mechanic! Too bad you have to start from the begginning when you die. And too bad there isn't more level, it's just a tuto i would like to see that in a full game!
WOw controls are awkward. That make the game quite fun and more original though. I'll never beat your score...
Fun game, quite hard at first. Music is a litle annoying.
Nice horse and very nice castle. Hard to know exactly if you take dmg or not, seem impossible to win. Or am i just bad at playing videogames?
The feeling is good, meteors are really great. Maybe it lack some mechanics to be funnier to play.
Wow i can't play, controls are not responsive. There is a problem here but nice for a first LD.
Very fuuny game and well crafted, you feel the power of the ball! Win/lose conditions and it's a blast!
I don't tell a story without an ending.
@zaywolfe : Should a DJ opt out of music if he uses samples?
@pi_pi3 : it's not that hard, change tracks be patient and listen to what the girl says.
Spiria : I wish i knew what you're "sort of ending" you're talking about cause the actual ending really looks like and ending i mean fade-to-black-extradiegetic-music ending. Didn't see white noise no.
@Spiria : Maybe it's a bug or maybe the game found its own spirit. You couldn't let go so you got stuck helpless in an infinite loop. I'd say turn off the lights and live with it, death will save you. And thx.
NIce game, but i couldn't satisfy the artist and the architect at the same time
Claudia Exist.
Watching a Rothko as a bird.
Good old wittgenstein.
The gameplay is something, but i bent down to examine the exquisite craftsmanship!
Did you use Bach for the music? It ABSOLUTELY sound like my broken clavinova; i liked feeling the piano player.
Those villagers though...
