Fun little game feels indeed much like worms or something. ALso pretty art, however, i feel like the explosions did not really match. Also i think it would be easier if the launch direction came from the turret and not the center of the planet. But good submission
Star trek is always a win for me. The gameplay was amusing enough for some while, i liked when i finally had all systems hooked up so i could see the text. Music was getting on my nerves very quickly though. When i muted all other sounds got muted as wel (of course), so a separate button for music and sound effects would have been great.
I liked it was however a bit confusing i believe i made it to the airport and the plane takes me home but then the game seemed to restart itself after that. For me that was confusing. Love the art btw
Timing was hard to get right also i noticed that the signal traveling downward was slower (or it seemed so to me). For me the web player needed to be maximized or i could not see the next button. But i did like the gameplay and nice idea with the gates.
Very fun game i like the background music and the bubbly sound the cells make. Also it is fun seeing the cells fight each other. Overal a very good game.
Fun to play, i would like a restart button for the level so i dont have to start from level 1 when i fail and i fail a lot :)
the style and sound of the game fit very good together good choice
i like this idea, games come in all types and sizes and this entry proofs that. I will be definitely back later to try to solve it all the way.
Interesting idea some animation would have helped i think. Also some of the bullets shoot way too slow for the amount of monsters running behind you
Was fun to play the controls felt a little bit unresponsive while in the air but i guess that is intentionally. In the air however the robot did not face the direction he was going that felt a bit odd. BUt good work overal
As said before pretty hard. But fun to play i like the idea of the different power bars for different systems that you can refill. It felt a bit hard to control though. And no sound or music is a minus.
Fun little game however it confused me a bit that how the graphics were and the initial position of your player i thought it was a platformer but it was a topdown map :) Maybe try to reflect that in your graphic next time.
fun little puzzler and with a great tutorial at the beginning to help you on your way add some music and sounds to make it complete (and some more levels) and i can see people playing this often
A bit confusing in the start but very fun to play with an upbeat music in teh background. I liked the style of the art and the mood it set
I liked the game a simple design but well executed. I liked the sound even if it was a pretty short loop (i think) but in this case it was so upbeat that it did not bother me. I did find 2 bugs 1 in the html player if you press R it will restart the game but does not end the previous music so i had 2 loops mixed (probbaly what you meant with audio problems). ALso i jumped up when under a moving platform and i got stuck. But keep it up it was fun to play
I liked the game a said before it feels pretty complete, however, the character needs to be a bit faster it felt like he had to run through mud or something. SOme background music to set the mood or (think about day /night) would made this better i thik but if you see how much finish there is in this game i think you would have little time left for that.
Gameplay is good but a bit of variation of enemies would have made this more complete. Maybe also an idea to add a mute button for the music next time the music/background was to repetitive for my taste and i got bored of it pretty quest. I do like your take on the "running out of of power" theme.
I enjoyed the idea of making your light and sound get less as your power got less. The collision with the doors/hallways was a bit irritating, however. Also the music got a bit irritating after a while as it was a short loop. Great effort and implementation of the theme.
Your linux build is missing the data folder so i cannot play it also unfortunately no html5 backup
Frozen to death, starved to death :) complex game in one screen but interesting to play a bit of atmospheric music would have given a kick to the game.
Very pretty style and a good soundtrack (that does get a little bit repetitive) I would have liked some sort of an objective because i went around collecting light for some while but in the end i did not know for what
I loved the music / sound when you did the "special moves". Gave an overall good feeling however still not exactly sure what the goal was.
i agree with earlier comments that a bit of music would go a long way. The graphics and sounds fit good together i think. A good entry for the compo i just wished i could do more than running back and forth hoping enough poop would land on me (who thought i would even say that)
Fun puzzle game, i like the music and the sounds. I did had a bit if trouble with the jump and got stuck 1 or 2 times after a jump what was only fixable by jumping again. I like thee idea of managing his speed and jump to get as much out of his power as possible. Good entry and theme well implemented.
Fun idea however the controls were a bit jittery for me. And probbaly it would make the game to easy but i would liked more a multiple-choice version where mayeb your energy woud drain faster if you was wrong. Because if you have butter fingers like mine you might mistype :).
Fun game, i liked the art and the background music fit in very well. A small problem for me is that i if you had to jump from a lower bridge to a higher one i sometimes got stuck or i run under the upper part and lose health.
Fun little game, enjoyable to play. A mute button would be a good option as the sounds/music started to get a bit irritating (or some more variation in music) BUt overall well-executed idea. And thanks for the web build :)
slow site made me dubble post /removed duplicated comment
I love this idea using gravity in that way, however for me (on linux) i had no sound
I like your take on losing power, I was confused because i could not upgrade but the whole idea was to downgrade. I might have missed that but i would make that a bit more clear in the downgrade screen. It could have done with a bit more different sounds the ohhh ohhh oohh was a bit irritating A few more different kind of enemies whould have helped as well. But i enjoyed playing the game well done.
Graphically this looks very good i love the art, two things though the gravity/jumping seems a bit off i suddenly was launched in to the air not sure if that was intentionally, Second the running out of power sound was very loud and annoying
Fun idea for a game and well executed but did started to feel a bit repetative because i kept running up and down
I like the changing mechanics and music fits in well
:) bullets were like i was in bullet time all the time but i do love the simple but effective art style. Also the sort of tutorial on the way is a good touch and i liked the narative for as far as i went.
Took me a while to get everything started as i had no idea that i actual had to click a robot before starting. The game lacked sound and or music what is a shame because i think it could have added a lot to this game. I also glitched a few times outside of the arena (bottom side). idea and story behind it is interesting well done on that.
Great "story" on teh side in the phone and i loved that you had to navigate the forest with the sometimes help from the friend and slowly your battery is running low. Also the background music very atmospherice
Fun game and retro and drifty achieved. Maybe also intentional but if i press w to much teh car almost disapears of the screen maybe put a limit how far you can go to the front?
fun little game i like the art very much, i must say i that the background music did not really fit the overall mood of the game for me but that is a personal opinion. I would have liked to have a restart button.
Tried to play your game however it had some problems that made it crash
Maybe this helps (is on a linux machine)

I do think you implemented the theme in a novel way, also the game and art are executed well, i personally would have loved to see some more puzzle elements or something more to do than clicking, i am aware however that it is the type of game you made.
Interesting game, it started a but slow/easy but got harder fast especially when the other bots started to attack my bases. I did like the music and sound i do actually not realy see any thing that could make this game "better". Good job
Unfortunately, i can not get this to work, I get stuck in the "use left mouse button to move" screen (linux). On the bright side, i finally got some love :) even if I had to install it myself
@chao i actually can not do anything as it is just a black screen with text, i just retested it Screen1.png
That is the screen i get but no mather what i press or click it does not work for me.
Unfortunately, it still does not work, but thanks for your effort. I will leave the (error) output here

I have a hard time understanding actually what to do also knowing how to rotate (click on it of course) took me to long to understand. This could unfortunately not capture my interest i think a bit of sound/music and a sort of tutorial would go a long way to help this game.
A bit hard to play but i like the idea behind it. It took me some time before i knew where to take energy. The game could use a bit of polish (like let your character point the way he is walking). But i do see potential.
Fun to play, the music was tad bit loud so i had to lower my sound but that is an easy fix. So much things to look after.
Good graphics and fun idea as said in the previous comment the Gravity feels a bit strange but that does not really take away from the gameplay in my opinion
I liked the mood the music and darkness gave. Controls were a bit hard for me but i think it was because the game is pretty heavy and i don't have an highend machine. BUt what i could play looked and sounded amazing. I did have to alt f4 out of the game because it was not responding to the esc key.
To bad no music or sounds that would give some more body to the game. I did laugh the first time i died and the (how i best can describe it) Angel with a lifting system brought me to the start
As you said the gameplay is a little bit simplistic and it was a shame you could not really move the ship yourself. BUt i do love the style and the atmospheric background music. So even if i would have liked to see some more gameplay i did like it very much and i do think you made the goal you set yourself.
What a cool concept running out of power in as wlel the meta game as the internal game. For me the gameboy screen was a littlebit on the dark side but i could see enough to play so it was not realy a problem
Cool concept and pretry funt to play however the controls were a bit confusing because a/s did not do anything (for me) and i kept trying to use them to turn instead of the q/e keys
Fun idea for a game, just like others i had to train myself not to expect to draw with the mouse button down. I like the art style and voice actors were great to. I installed your linux build you forgot to add one library to your install instructions though "liballegro-video5.2" was missing
fun little runner game, i did miss music and or sound. And the speed got quickly out of hand i wouldlike a slower start but then again this does challenge you to try and try again.
As said before i think this is a game with potential, i would have liked a tutorial or something in game. Sounds was well enough. Maybe also next time put in your description actually the libraries needed to install on linux. Just saying Smfl is a bit to short as it is a collection of smaller libraries. I just installed them all + the dev just to be double sure i had everything. After that the game started without trouble.
Cool idea lots of humor in it. Soem sounds/background music would have helped setting the mood. For me the game also froze after i finished my homework (in the screen it said you almost finished your homework) and than i clicked homework again.
Sound and art style fit well together, A bit variation would have been better in my opinion maybe i did not went far enough but after some time shooting the same enemies in the same environment the game started to become a bit monotonous. Idea behind the game is good i think
I like the art very much and the music is fun and works well with the theme of the game i think it gives you a bit the feeling of hurry. Controls (in the web version) feel a bit sluggish especially when he jumps? over a table. I think i finished the video/game but i did not realy get a message or win screen so i am not sure if i won. But i liked it fun to play.
same problem with the Linux build. For future references, the unity builds create an executable and a data folder. You will need to offer these both for us to be able to play them. Usually in a zip or other archive type for easy download.
Thank you for putting the effort of creating a linux build as well. However i experienced some problems with that. In full screen i could not click the dialog away. And in windowed mode i could not get my drill to work (been pressing space like crazy). So i cannot say much as i did not make it past the first blockade, I like the background sound + the grainy dark effect however i think the sound of the truster was mighty loud compared to the rest. I am not a big fan of the kind of driving for this ship but i kan see that it was a design choice for the game and was well implemented. I would like to say i had fun playing it but as i said i could not get past the blockade.
I survived but i think that was a bug as my food had just run out, but might have been convenient timing. I liked the atmosphere but i would liked some more mechanic than 1 click a day/night. Was fun for a bit so good job.
Fun game. Good you explained what the bars actually meant but i would also have liked to know what the dropped items actually do it would make it a bit easier to start and play the game in my opinion.
Music was good and i liked that you could actual change the music that is a big plus.
Cool idea and very relaxing music I did turn of the sound as they were a bit loud compared to the music
Cool i like the mechanic that some things use power but others not and you need those others to complete a level
Fun game of robot tag. I think the sounds and gameplay/art fit well together. I would have put a bit more dangers for your guy as it becomes a bit easier the longer your play but definitely i good submision
Good work i liked the graphic and i think you had some fun making the sounds? I am not realy a fan of click spawning but it is definitely fun for a little while
Just what every spaceships needs a staff wizard and some horses. It is a bit hard to get started with the game and i would still like some more in game explanation how to do stuff what effects what and things likethat but a cool idea for a game very original
I liked it :) very minimalistic as games go but a good story behind it goes a long way. Probably some music as background that changes depending on what choices you make or the mood of your wife. But good experience overall.
Wow for me to good visuals but i loved the music and the notes the stars? played when you hit them verry good atmospheric game loved it.
I like the art style and the music is very relaxing. Some explanation or tutorial system would have helped a lot I think as it is pretty confusing to start with.
I enjoy very much the different take on "power" in this game also the sound and music fit very good with this game and make it feel a bit retro to me. I do think the guy was moving a little bit slow. That might fit with an older hero losing his powers but for playability, it is a bit too slow (for my taste)
Pretty hard to play but a good concept even if its just an another "asteroids clone".The style of the asteroids looked very well done and i liked the music/sound
A few minor things however 1) after i used up all my bullets first time not knowing i needed the asteroids for bullets i just had to destroy myself over and over because a span did not give me more bullets. 2) when i died and restarted my ship was nowhere to be found i had to refresh the page
The game feels a bit unfinished but you explained why in your description a few points though
* The bullet/blast was very small i actual did not see when i shoot or not * Music and sound would have been a great addition * It took me way to long to notice how to climb stairs and feels not intuitive as you have to keep spamming the up button instead of keeping it pressed. * Some kind of mini map or pointer to where your turrets are would have been handy as well. * And as said before i git stuck when jumping.
All by all it was definitely not a bad submision for the time that you had so keep up the good work
@souperstrawer build a house as fast as you can :) it will remove the cost of the settlers for the cost of a house which is much less. @2demigods thanks @littlelegend yeah to complex i think if i made it less complex bugs like the one you mentioned would probbaly not exists
@stuffed-wombat the music tracks are generated and then put together /rearranged and instruments chosen in lmms
@ysty good idea thanks for the feedback @agecaf yes i think i bite off more than i could handle so balancing far from perfect
@everybody thanks for all the comments only those make this LD a success for me already as i needed/wanted feedback on how to get better. I have uploaded new builds that fix the restart button, close button in science station and some more clarity on the clickability of the science station. @vkmicro thanks for that extencive feedback, i can however not play your game as i am on linux and you only have a windows build.
@simonhutchinson yeah i probably will expand on this and at least make the code better and to learn unity a bit more as this was my first project with it :) @speedysloth99 Yes one of the things i needed/wanted to do is turn off certain build options in the beginning but alas to little time to finish that
@everybody thank you so much for your feedback. I fixed (i hope) the insta win issue and make sure you can not win by just spawing buildings
@plantprogrammer thanks for your comment. You should be able to scroll the map if you press and hold the middle mouse button. Unfortunately, i had no time left to scroll the map based on your mouse pointer one of tehe many features i had to skip.
@smbe19 thanks for your feedback, i have not encountered the bug that it does not allow you to build the science station it should unlock after you have 2 or more power plants. I will look into that.
@all of course thank you for your comments i cannot reply to everybody just know i appreciate your feedback. I was not happy with the game myself but submitted it anyway to learn from and you guys/gals give me valuable information
@gonutz yeah i am not a native speaker also too little time made it that i did not read everything as good as i should. I did not notice myself that the text was too small but then again i knew what was there.
@mortus yeah problem is i had to many ideas and there should have been other building/researchers also colonist should start to want food ect ect unfortunately too little time. I agree that balancing is one of the biggest problems i have. And i agree a skip would have been a wise thing to add
@bocodillo i agree the curve is a bit weird that is why the win condition is pretty soon as after a while the game is too easy at least you should be able to finish the game. I definitely will try to implement all my ideas into the game as a post ld project. Partly to learn and partly because i had too many ideas that are just not implemented. And i personally think would make a way better and complete game.
@coomzy strange that you can not do more. After you place 1 miner you need to wait a bit until you have enough coal to start the powerplant. After that you should get an event to build some more stuff. So not really sure what goes wrong for you .
@jusw85 thank you for your comment and your help to other new players, i decided to update my description with some more (extended) information and your comment was the last push i needed to do that so thanks for that.
@ethan-kennerly thank you for your comment and if you are wondering what you need to build and what it does take a fresh look at the updated description i hope this will help explain things a bit better. I would have liked to put all that in game but time ran short.
@drag0mir, to build over zero is actually by design, to keep you on your toes and not just go crazy building things but actually think about what you build. But i should probbaly have been more clear in describing that. Thanks for your feedback
A fun maze game with some simpler graphic but the game is fun enough that that does not bother
Cool idea for a game and well executed. For me however fullscreen was just a black screen + the square game window in the left bottom (on linux)/ Also wowzers that flashlight uses a lot of fuel.
@binaryspark sorry no idea i just checked for you i thought it was a setting, but if it is i cannot find it. But the game was playable and enjoyable still so it is a minor issue i think.
Aiming was a bit hard, and it was hard to tell how much gas i needed, i filled the generator but it looked like nothing was happening. My advice would be to at least ad some music and maybe dress the game a bit up now the field was kinda empty expect for the platform you need to defend. I did like the sound effects and the game play was good enough for 48 hours.
Good old fashioned text based game i have not played all the way trough but was interesting. However textbased i would have liked some music/sound
Love the mood and lightning, and some sounds beside music would helped to make this even more enjoyable
Looks like an interesting game however on linux i have the problem that on fullscreen it does not take the whole screen just a boxin the left corner and that is unresponsive. If i play windowed it is impossible for me to turn around as my mouse leaves the screen.
Good idea and effort, I liked the soundtrack. It was very hard however to shoot enemies because for me the mouse seemed a bit off. Also i suddenly started to walk left for no reason and could not stop it. But for the time you had well done.
Fun to play, however i think you need a few tries to know who to bribe and who not. First time i did not last long after bribing a sword :)
I liked that checkpoint system but i think it could have been better because i got stuck on the same check point simply because i had to little energy to get anywhere. The game by itself was fun. To bad no sounds or music. Well done
Fun little game, I did not remember which charger went to which phone but made it pretty far anyway. High pased game.
Good attempt only i could not really play it often after i picked something up my guy kept walking and got stuck to the walls. Also the green enemies were a bit hard to kill i think.
Great graphics and definitely has much potential, but as said before try to add some music and other sound effects without it it can become a bit boring in my opinion. Also (is probably just me) i could not figure out how to distribute the power i could only close the terminal but not click anything. With some music,sounds and some otehr tweaks i would play this again
Pretty decent game well done music and sound. For me i do not realy like these clicker games. What i did notice that (for me) it started at a decent speed but then suddenly it became impossible i feel that it could have gone a bit more slower (i mean it went from no mine git even close to me to i need 10 mouses to click them all in 1 second flat) :).
good first submission i liked the relax background music. Moving and especially jumping felt a bit weird. And a good walk animation would have definitively made the game feel more complete. Was fun to play.
I had fun playing this it gets progressively harder. The music loop started to bother me a bit in the end though
Fun little game, i had some issues with that the sunflowers was hidden behind objects that are on the floor (z index problem ? ) it did not matter for the game play that was fun enough by itself
The movement of the player could use some animation but there is only so much you can do in the limited time. The music made the game very moody and seeing his energy drain when in contact with other people feels sometimes familiar.
I dont really like a clicker game but for what it was i think it was implemented well. I would have added some sounds/music to make it more instresting.
A hard game but very stylish and fun to play, only thing i have to remark is that the screen was a bit small to play on but that might have been the intention so you could not see everything. Also it might be wiser to start a bit less hard to give the player some time to get used to the game, but than again i could see it a design choice to throw players into the deep right away.
I loved the atmosphere even with "they attack at night" i thought was a bit dar but once the enemies started showing i think that was the right choice. The right music would have added to the experience
Very fun game i enjoyed playing it, thanks for making a web version as i wanted to play this before but windows only was not for me. I did miss the sounds it would have made it so much better. And i think it would have been better if you made h toggle the annotations as i noticed i was basically continuously pressing the h button.
I never experienced a writers block but i feel like this game at least gives a partial feelding how it must be as you are blocked wherever you go but it is also very hard to see where to go and what path to take. Overal game.
Fun puzzles not to hard not to easy, you really had to think before pushing anything or instadeath. I would have like that you only start pushing once you face the mirror though. Now often i pushed a mirror while just trying to turn around. All by all a strong submission
Pretty good, it did feel a bit unfinished because there was no audio though. But cute graphics
it was/is a bit hard to understand what you should do and how to do it. But i believe the idea behind it is cool.
Fun concept, it took me a little while to notice the task were all over the house chasing them and managing them not to hit zero was fun. Only thing i have to remark is that the music was a bit repetitive after while. But fun to play good job.
I like the interpretation of the running out of power. I did had a glitch where the gold ? would be in the walls or ground.
Very fun game to play, nice music and a very pleasing art style. One thing to note is that i expected that the journey of the box would be an arc but it seems as soon as it arrived at its highest point it just dropped straight down. Might be a design choice and did not take away from the fun just something i noticed.
I like very much how the running out of power is implemented here, it is not teh end it just makes things a lot harder so you realy need to think your steps ahead.
Looks pretty good and the talking monitor made me laugh in teh beginnig. For me after that it started to feel a bit slow and not as fun anymore (the talking). i like the mechanics with swapping the battery. ALso controls were a bit hard.
i like the game mechanic fun to play. Music felt a little bit repetative
Fun little game, only problem i had was in the explanation screen if i clicked the button it would skip most of the explanation. But the controls are easy enough to figure out so it was not that big a problem in the end.
Fun game i liked the voxel art. However, some animations would have made it better. Also all the dead pirates and friends kept sliding around. Very well done on the soundtrack it set a great mood.
Sorry i cannot play your game, i tried the linux version however when i extract the zip i suddenly have 2 data folders one lowercased one uppercased. WHen i try to run your game it says "sorry no datafolder" found. Might just be my laptop but can be worth to look at.
Like others before me i had a little trouble lining up but i got use to it (i am still not he greatest at these kind of game). Was enjoyable to play with a good matching soundtrack i think
A lot of stuff in here for 48 hours. Good graphics only the sound was a bit repetitive. Overal i think a good job.
Fun to play for a few minutes but a bit basic. It was a bit to heavy for the web version. I guess to many blocks that needed to be rendererd.
The linux zip is broken (form me) i get an error when trying to extract it tried downloading it twice
pretty graphic and the music adds to the experience i thik
I enjoyed this much. Only died the first time because a "snowman" was chasing me with 3 spears in him and the sled did not give me any new ones, i guess that is a small bug. But fun to play.
Cool concept, to bad there were no sounds. I think it would have been better to have an easier screen to see states, it took me some while before i noticed every state had its own things they thought were important. But i did enjoy the gameplay. I did lose my first election :(
Controls feel a bit wonky when you get to close to the mouse pointer you do a kind of loop what slows you down. And it might be better to add a hotkey for the lightbox as moving your mouse to the icon will change your directory (in my case to the shadow hounds). But a very good idea and the dark, folowing hounds and music gave it a creepy mood.
Your link says html5 but i need flash? Sorry i do not have flash installed i cannot rate your game but you might want to change that it says flash.
"There is no data folder" I got this message on the linux build.
Good first submission, As you probbaly know a few things could have made it better like sounds,music and animation. I did like the idea of the robot havint to charge himself. I do wonder what the top energybar was for. I made it to escape. One thing maybe nexttime add a restart button so i dont have to refresh the page
This is quite complex but very fun to play. The pixel art fits the type of game very well. To other linux users i had the trouble that the maximize button was not really resizing the game, just use your mouse to drag the screen larger that will work and it's worth it.
The whole thing felt a bit jittery and hard to controll, after i enabled the option for the mouse it became a little better but not much. Props for adding settings for control and sound. I think this could be a fun game with some more love but the level genration was well done my feeling is you had spend a bit less time in that and more on the contolls the game would have felt more complete
Cool game to play for a bit but after a while, there is nothing new. STill fun to read all the item names. By the way the link to html5 just links to the downloads might want to fix that.
Cool little game, i liked the art style and sound
To be honest i did not read the description before playing so i was what the @%&# is the window doing. Then i realized what the theme was. Cool concept very well done and gave me a good suprise
I like how you made the player the cause of running out of space. I would have liked to see an indicator if your grenade was ready somewhere larger as first played this on a small window and i did not see that the turret itself was the indicator for the rest i liked it. LIked the explosion effects by the way
Cool game and good music. The cats sounded very sad when i gave them the wrong item.
I like it. Mellow background music and a cool little puzzler. I would make it a bit more clear that you need to hold esc for some while before exiting. Took me some presses of esc to figure that out
I liked it a small fun little puzzler. And star trek is always a + in my book. I would have liked some background music but for the rest good submision
Good idea and good graphics. But would like to know a bit better what to do. ALso i felt the controls a bit unresponsive but that might be because you really had to wait for the item to be at the end. Maybe let players make some combos or something would have added a bit more to the game.
Cool game, love the sound/music and art. I would however have liked more to move the items with the mose and not the the keys. But i guess that would have made the game to easy.
@fireslash Thanks for the feedback. Furrification and soylent research are both repeatable. because one of them adds some risk and the other is cheap and has a low impact. Also if it did not broke you do get notified research is done in the left panel.
You should see a red exclamation mark if a research or build finished, also when a planet was colonized. But I wanted to create a log kind of screen as well unfortunately not enough time. And adding a notification sound probably would have been wise
@2games2easy @pamoy Thanks for the feedback. I will later today update this page to add a bit more explanation on how to play. Also @2games2easy yeah negative population is a known bug. I thought only happened on sending a colony ship but might be with some researches as well. Will need to take a look into that
@blueblu thanks for the feedback, i tried make it as easy as possible but some tooltips /tutorial would have helped i agree @jk-studio Yes you are right and is actually the reason why i almost not submitted it but since i worked on it the whole jam i posted it anyway @flaterectomy yes my biggest enemy overscoping but you raise a good point that ux is not great and needs too much clicking, i honestly had not thought about that yet but then again i also had no more time left. Thanks for the feedback
Cool art style and fun little game. I agree with what was said before i expected an explosion from the bazooka. BUt i can understand running out of time
Good game a bit hard. I like the art style but on the same hand i feel the art style made it a bit harder for this kind of game to know when to jump.
I really missed some kind of explanation what to do. Also the camera was a bit hard and made it for me less fun. But it is a very original idea.
I really enjoy the procedurally generated planets they look very cool. I did miss some sort of spacy sound/music. Not sure about forcing the player to visit the credits menu item first but thas is just me. Good job looked forward playing this when i saw the screenshots, not disappointed.
Not realy sure what the goal of the game was and unfortunately it crashed when pushing z in a console not really sure what happened there. For the rest what i could see the art looks cool
@siimer THat is the thing not really sure i pressed z and moved my mouse around had it 2 times. Tried to repoduce it now to give you a better description and now of course it does not happen anymore so just leave it at pebkac.
Very good ambience i like the music and also the neon effect
Good art and fun gameplay. I did have a bit of problem alining the boxes to push them outside but. For the rest was a game that hits very close to home ;)
Cool game, pretty hard but also a lot of waiting for the right moment. Maybe add some sound next time, it was pretty loud after a while
Intresting game, BUt sometimes it would not let me place corpses not sure why that happned might be me. ALso i died very fast as it is or spend 5 gold to place a torch or spend 2 to smack the corpse. Might come back to this to see if i can last longer
Soo colourful . But without kidding was quite a fun defender game. I applaud that you added music but it hot a bit repetative so next time you might want to add a mute button
Quite challenging but fun to play. Only thing i can say is make clear what you exactly have to do and that you can push things. But then again after the second try was prety clear.
Good game, i failed few times the first level before knew when to jump and when to use the jetpack. I love the stars in the background fits the style of the game very well.
Cute game, also fitting backgound music. I did notice that you allow screen ratios in which not everythig fits perfectly you might want to think about that next time.
Cool art, sound was a bit loud but also good. A bit short bit i liked it controls might need a bit of work because aiming seemed a bit hard to me.
Great sound, And fun game but was a bit to hard to play because it was hard to see where the wall was.
I came here for play not feels ;) But good you managed to juggle 2 projects during ld too also convey this message
What a cool salmon with the sunglasses and all. I liked the art style and music
hey nobody gave you permission to make a game based on my life :D, i liked it very funny
what a sucky game, but for serious it had some good potential i think with some fine tuning. However it did bother me that everytime i sucked lifeforce i ended up looking up to the sky.
Like said before some indicators and tutorial on what things do would help a lot non the less i did like to play it. However i had a bug where the text of a card did not disappear so i could not read everything anymore so sometimes i was playing a card blind. But cool idea
Very cool concept of a game i liked the mood it set and the message it gave. What for me would have added a bit more weigh to the whole thing is to so a little bit of validation like i typed 1 for an email address and it allowed it.
I also liked that while you have to give your information to buy stuff you and the other people still try to at least be a little bit of anonymous by hiding their faces in their hoodies (okay i understand is probably because it was easier to do artwise but i still think it fits ;))
I really loved the sound effects and the idea behind it is fun as well
cool game, i would personally like to see that when you hit a enemy they recoil (i almost died the first time because i expected that) however i do understand that not every body will agree. I en joyed playing this nonetheless
Interesting game i was really confused at the start but then hurt after i knew i had to do math ;). But seriously is a interesting take on the game. I also liked the background musics
uhmmm it got a chuckle out of me . Not really sure what tips to give a game like this is perfect how it is :thumbsup:
fun enough to play for a bit but does get repetitive. I am not a big fan of the constant screenshake but that is a personal thing.
One thing however, please ad an exit button or let esc exit the game if you do a fullscreen game. I personally never like it to have to use alt+f4 to close my games.
@david-markham thanks for the feedback, i just tried it myself and you should be abel to continue
I added a walkthrough to my code for if you are stuck
https://gitlab.com/aterlamia/battery-is-here-to-stay/blob/master/walktrough.md
To anybody else who reads this, try to finish without the walk trough the game is short as it is without it :)
@avoca-do thanks for the feedback seems you encountered a weird bug that i have not found myself yet with the talk bubble. It is some usefull feeback
@vectrex28 great that you could solve it without walktrough it is always a balance between making it just easy and just hard enough but since the levels are very small i hoped it would be playable
@hugzfnr thanks, yeah a bit of in game story and help was in the making until i lost the whole second level. Highlight them or indeed some help would have made it more clear how the actions (should) work and also what action does what
@avoca-do thanks for clearing that up, and yeah i could do some things to fix the accidental closing, i should have thought about that as in the start i had that myself as well untill i moved the click hotspot but smaller icons or more devined pointer part on the icons would have gone a long way
@franciszek-pyrc thanks for the feedback, i'm curious did the third level not start for you? or since its just one code guesser you don't call it a level (which it isn't realy) Just trying to figure out if there was a bug or not
@oivin-f thanks yes that one is a bug i think it happens mostly with the manual but might also with some other items.
@silkworm-sweatshop yeah those are the polishing things i was starting on when suddenly my game crashed when i went to the second level when i noticed my second level was not there anymore so i chose to remake that level instead of the polishing. The last puzzel is a simple one however i don't really know the name of the game with colors but is a color version of "bulls and cows" so when you have a color in the right place it will show one green box say the sequence is red green green blue and you guess green red red blue you will get one green box (hope i explain it understandable like that)
@silkworm-sweatshop Yeah that was the game, thanks i have been for days trying to remember the name
@gideon I used polygon2d's and a skeleton to animate inside godot itself nothing else (aseprite for the drawning of course)
@sebastien-bourgeois the finger is the walk action, but for now it is nothing special as you can also walk with all the other actions but in the end i wanted to make it so that walking around larger levels can only be done with the walk action
@zubspace yeah duplicate items are a know bug, actually the panel one is one that was introduced because i had to recreate the level and forgot to turn of a click area in my rush
@sparewizard i was kind of afraid that they were a bit to small but i think its also partly because the cursor in in godot doesn't use the whole area of the cursor to make click checks but rather a point in that cursor which makes it hard with the large cursors i have.
@joshanthony1990 yeah the missing items is a weird one i never experienced that myself during testing but last time i did play it i noticed that as well i must have broken something when finishing up, thanks for the feedback im also glad you liked the music i am not really musical so i was already happy with the short piece i manged to create and yeah i am enjoying Godot very much
@teo989 thanks for the feedback, i am glad you enjoyed the art style, i tried to make it easier and in the same time more challenging for my by giving myself a limited color palette i'm glad people enjoy it
@mrbrooms thanks for the feedback, i am however not really sure what you mean that you wanted a key to change modes? For the normal 4 actions there are keys you can read them in the description. However i do agree it might needed to add keys for the inventory and inventory slots as well.
All other people that i did not name also thanks for playing and feedback of course
Very cool game and idea i like how you have to control multiple coins.
I would however make sure that the inactive coins don't move or move less easy it was a bit irritating to have to switch between coins just because i push a coin away again by accident.
One other small thing is i would make it visible which coin is active now i just moved to see what coin was active but a little visual cue could have helped here. But very fun game i hope you get enough votes i think this one could end high
I do love the art style very much but i am not really sure how to play (i just played the ld one) nothing seems to happen and i can just walk around. One small thing i noticed is that your character "slides" a bit before he walks which is not a big issue but something you want to keep in mind for future games
It takes a bit long to actually get started you might want to break that up by have some actions in between but it is good you at least can speed it up with the space bar. For the rest it is very pretty and the music is calming and it is definitely one of the entries that is different.
I think it is well done.
Only thing i really thinks it needs, is a feeling that the answers you gave have an effect i understand it is to make you think of your live and how the choices influences it but (at least i) you also expect a kind of payoff in the end.
Cool game very well polished i think, But i do have to say your game has a little bit of a pasing problem having the unskippable intro and the elevator ride really took to long. To bad the rest of the game was short because i did enjoy the gameplay, music and art
Decent attempt i think you set a good mood in your game but somehow that the player did not really move while walking threw me off. Also somehow i expect in a game where you rotate with the mouse i expect the w key to be forward but that might be just me. I also had a strange bug where i started to turn around when swinging the sword but cant realy reproduce that. But a neat game for 48 hours.
very relaxing music and funny sound effects. Is fun to just watch the world spin with happy little clouds
aww it is already finished, i liked it also fun sound effects and a good beat.
simple space shooter not much to say about it. I don't mean anything bad by simple by the way i think it is a good thing to make something you are happy with and can finish in the game and polish it. Well done
Looks good with a simple moody art style. It does feel a bit slow for a fighting game but when you play longer there are so many enemies it might be for the best
simple but enjoyable game, i do think that the humming of the tank was bit load compared to the shooting but it is just a minor thing
I liked it, it is simple gameplay but fun to do
i am a tiny bit confused, i think it is partly because movement did not work for me somehow the first time around. I think this is a cool idea but it could use some more gameplay elements because (i might have played it wrong) i just needed to click 3 buttons and then click green dogs. However i do see promise with a little but of more work on the game. But for a game jam you did well i think
Interesting game i like the sound effects and music, it is a bit confusing but for a first jam its a good job.
is very simple yet but i can see it shows promise. Also for me i clicked the web link but there was no web version available
I like the idea and it was well worked out, i would have liked to see my life however not i had no idea when i died. ALso a small description of the weapons maybe, i had no idea what the first energy weapon was and if it even worked or not as the other players basically killed the enemies when i used that weapon. To bad it finished so soon
Just paid 2 legs and i get congratulated with "you kick but", are you making fun of me ;). But well done is a simple but cool game. I would only advice to put a bit of explanation as i had to do the discus trow 3 times before i understood how it worked. But well done
Cool game i like the mechanics with the different colors but i did got myself stuck first time with the purple slime as i did not know that it had other mechanics than the green one. Art also very pretty i think
I like the neon colors for your platforms and i really like how when you progress the message in the top left changes. It prepared me for the end.
Cool idea, i liked the happy music, However it was a bit hard to aim my punches. Also not sure if it s a bug or the actual win condition but after a while there was a huge dude and as soon as walked into him i had to restart (i might just lost but no feedback to tell me either)
Interesting gameplay definitely one of the more original i have seen, but it is very hard to get into (for me that is) after the first move of sprores i could do nothing anymore the i had no more spores and neither did the city.
One tip is make a skip for the intro i tried it a few times and clicking trough it every restart (browser refresh) was not fun
I like the idea behind it but i do feel like i cannot really lose and i don't even have to plan my moves as i can exchange anything with anything. One missed opportunity is that you did not changed his age on the poster :)
Pretty game and fun to play, i always thought more vampires should drink with a straw and slurp at it. However the physics is a bit wonky i think and you have a layer problem (text of drink blood is often behind the platforms). BUt i had fun playing well done
I really missed audio here it would made it even more fun to play i think. Only thing i can say is shooting feels a bit slow but it might be to easy if it was faster right way.
cool game, to bad the jam version had no sound but i see you added it post jam.
Website is sleeping for me as well, so i downloaded the game.
It is a fun game to play and i really like the music it sets a good mood in my opinion. I also liked the mushroom effect.
I would however make the hitbox of the hammers a bit smaller at least for me it looked like i was pretty far away from one and he still managed to smash me. I did also feel like the start page was a bit unresponsive (it might just be that you need some button feedback to show that the click registered) but i needed to push the start button multiple times before it actually started
One other thing i can advice, when you allow fullscreen please also add a way to close the game without having to use alt + f4.
All by all a cool entry
very unique and fun to play, only thing that bothered me is that the jump did not always seem to work when i wanted it to
Simple game but for a game jam that is not a problem i think it was well done. I do think it is a tiny but unbalanced but i might did not play it long enough but after the first round i already had 75 coins which i think would serve me for some levels. But definitely an entertaining game
I think the first enemy stayed alive a bit to long to start the game with, for the rest i enjoyed it
Cool game i like how you added a walk-trough before staring i think it ads to playability
I liked to play this however (and i think it has been said before) the fact that the coins have different sizes on the same lane makes it a bit hard to play. I do recognize that the shadows are on the floor of the lane that they are for but for me that was to much things to keep an eye on (the play the coins the shadows and the enemies) but i might just be bad at games like this. I did like that you could switch of lanes tough.
it might be the objective of the game but the controls made me not really enjoy this i could actually not move the camera well enough to see the box on the floor before me and i had to guess if i was trying lift it or not. I do like that you added a voice to the game. One tip, give people an other option then alt f4 to exit your game. None the less for a first solo game jam you had something finished and it is playable (of not hard) so well done
Pretty bubbles, the area was a bit small for my feeling and relative much spikes but i guess there is at least some randomness to this so i might was unlucky
Cool entry, only think i have to remark is that it is a bit slow in the start as your dash loads very slow so you are mostly walking around and dodging things but i understand if you dash to much it would be to easy
How cool creating a nes game, i enjoyed it i did find one bug(might be a feature as it is nes) and that is if i destroyed crates under something like snake it would not fall down
One of the more unique games i have seen, its interesting but a good manual or tutorial would really have helped to get into the game a bit faster i think. But this definitely has potential for a post jam version
I like it, with me the sound started muted by the way (which was not a bad choice) as the explosions were a bit noisy indeed. But when that is the case i would advice to just leave the sound and mute button and not it on yuor entry so people know.
cool game and happy upbeat music
Very pretty effect on the player however compared to the slimes he feels a bit sluggish and because of that you get overwhelmed pretty fast, but that just makes you restart to try again
I think the idea is there but this does need some polishing i think. I pushed the spacebar like a lunatic but i did not see or hear anything happen to tell me if i was actually attacking a small thing like that would already help a lot in here. Also especially if you start your game full screen please add a way to exit it without me having to use alt-f4. For a first game jam good attempt definitely keep at it
Interesting game it is pretty unique for this theme. It is bit hard to play but i guess how more you play it how easier it becomes.
I did however stop when i got an error
FATAL ERROR in action number 1 of Step Event1 for object obj_inventory_box:
Unable to find any instance for object index '100252' name '
This happened when i moved shale (i think it was) to the sacrifice window
I do think this game needs some music and or sounds to make it feel more alive.
p.s. I think you have a day/night cycle in the game as thing started to get darker ? which is as cool feature. however i would not expect my fire to go dark as well ;)
Good first entry well done, i think most things have been said already, I think the robot moves a bit slow and because of that the game feels a bit slow. Also i noticed you have invisible walls around your game area, try to always add something there that actually can block the user like walls or vegetation so people know where the borders are. But the game shows promise so keep at it.
surprisingly fun (and hard to play) i had some laughs out load. I would have liked a sort of indicator to see when i could should because sometimes it felt a but unresponsive because i clicked and it did not shoot, but i guess my cool-down counter was not done yet.
Its a very well made game i think i like the artstyle and general mood if the game also the music fits well
Fun little game first time i did not read good and i did not knew i could shoot that ended up in a lot of knights hunting me.
I would advice to make a mute button or at least a way to lower the volume (in the game itself) to make the music not that dominant. Also try to avoid invisible walls you can easily do that by adding some bushes or rocks to make a border. I did see that the flowers and other stuff were not rendered outside the play environment but i think a physical barrier is a bit better.
But good submission
Like other people say i do like the mechanic that you can change your health speed and strengt and the game play was fun as well. Some small polishing things like stop the walking animation when you are not walking and sound would benefit the game. I also like that you have a pause feature however please also add a way to exit without having to use alt+f4
Very good game i was sad it fished so early but in a jam making more levels is not always wise and i think it served you well that you polished the game. Id also liked the art and sound,
Very cool, i like how you executed this idea different than many other have. And it is not so easy. I also like the suspenseful background music. This game deserves more ratings.
Cool game, i like the music and sounds and is a fun take on the theme. I wonder one thing and was it planned that your mortar only goes in your driving direction and not where you point your gun ? i kept firing my mortar in the wring direction because of that.
For the rest a fun game mechanic
That got hard very fast. Well executed idea i think. And cool graphics. Only thing i can say is or make your music loop a bit longer or add a mute. Because it got a bit monotonous after a while
Great entry a simple game but very well executed and fits the theme very well. I would also have liked a speed up button but that is just a small improvement as the levels are not that large and you dont have to wait to long
Idea seems cool, but i get stuck at the first T split (i think game crashes as i can not shoot anymore either). If you fix it pleas say so and i will give it an another go
Well done, i liked it, i only problem i have is that i got out of a portal directly (ar as good as) on an enemy which made me die instantly. But that might be planned.
Looks amazing but very hard to play. For example how do you remove rocks? What does a cannon do and where does it go ? i felt like it only took my wood and added nothing. The idea is solid (if you like clickers) but needs some polishing.
@edomiyamoto maybe a small bug then. I clicked, my wood was gone but i could not place anything as i had no space
I like the concept, of course this jam has a lot of these kind of games i like the mechanics you added with the platform. Only tip i can give is please add an exit button, ctrl+f4 should not be the only way to exit a game
I like it fun bounce mechanics, and the sound matches it perfectly. For me the second and thirds level looked the same. I know every level brings something new but i could not discover it there. very fun entry
Took me some while to get you actually had to type the commands after that it was very fun to play. just to bad if you make a typo you have to remove everything and cannot use the arrow keys
Funny dialogs and a unique take/gameplay base on the theme. I would only like to make the screen a bit bigger on a large monitor it was really to small. Also what was it with the "dont forget to like and subscribe ?? " felt a bit strange but might be a inside joke i am missing
Interesting game, and also a fun notion to put the explanation on the floor. But it was a bit hard to read for me and i felt like i used up a loot of fuel just to try t read everything
Very cool idea, i was wondering at first what the moving bar at the bottom was but after i found that out i knew better how to play. But still gets hard fast
Good job it is an amusing game and music is also good. I have not found any use for the note pad however but i like that you even get points when you fail so you can already start upgrading
Fun with some simple graphics. I really missed some sort of life indicator. And it would have been great to have a fullscreen button
@connorthompson @gingerbill @javicoder @cleitoneldorn thanks. @john-gabriel thanks for the feedback and i agree it needed a bit more gameplay, the plan was to actual fight as well but i lost 3 hours of code/changes due to a crash so i had to make do. @adroitconceptions thanks for your feedback, i thought the font was readable but i have heard from others it was not so, something to look at next time or any outside compo changes i w il make
@mikoziq thanks for your feedback. yeah maybe a bit more somber/dark music would be a better choice however i am not a muscian and have the rhythm of a stick so i was happy with what i created and didn't/could'nt spend more time on it. But definitely a point for if i will polish the game
@thedarkmagi @athryell @dak001 @amin-jk000 @aligator thanks for your comments,
@samuli i have had that occur several times and thought i fixed it, it is a hard one to reproduce but since it is still there i will need to look into it, thanks
@elizir thanks, but if you look closely you will see that much of the art has problems like transparent pixels or random black dots.I went for quantity over quality im afraid. But glad you enjoy it
@thevideogamester yeah bugs are a given in a jam i think especially if your scope is to large, thanks for the feedback. I will see about the conversation maybe i should it x triggerbale instead of timed. But then i need to figure out what to do with their walking
@jharler sad to hear you blew up. I feel a bit of a copout with the bomb. it had to be a minigame instead of a 50/50 coinflip
@galse87 Just to be sure, it was still to slow when holding shift? (i am actually thinking of switching that so standard fast and slow when holding shift). Thanks for your feedback
@galse87 Thanks for clarifying, The walk is pretty far so even the fast mode might have been to slow for some people that is why i ask. And your feedback is still valuable as i see my instructions can be interpreted different. I will update the description on this page to clarify it is for walk speed not text speed.
@remzo did you got stuck in the right door? it should open. but i had once in my tests that i got stuck there but after that never happened again so tought / hoped it was a one time glitch @blobo mhh those aliens are i believe the fonts * but they should not be there.as @mikoziq said i must miss a bracket or something there. i will check
@chickencastle @fluffybunny @clemonades thanks for also confirming the font is hard to read. I decided that it might be a game breaking bug fix as if you cannot read you cannot realy follow the story. So i added an extra build with a new font. So for anybody that feels that the font change is allowed within the rules they can play that version
@fabula-rasa i actually did not know about "(like: hero saying he has new info for Diane, even though he doesn’t anymore). ". It makes sense however as that was added after my 3hour code loss and with little time on the clock. Thanks for your feedback
@tamail @jon-nova @melvinng @spyranteros @maxflav @saymon @bereg @darcytimms @manspider @coding4rtist thank you so much for your feed back and comments
@rewzu thanks and you are now officialy the hero :)
@eweren i went and saw, yeah your version has so much of what i wanted to but luckily i decided to stick to the bare minimum, that was already to much
@duke thanks for your extencive feedback very helpfull. The hard to read text that is about the first version? or you stil think it is hard to read in the updated one?
@worblir Thanks, i wanted to make more but there is only so much you can do in 48 hours if you also want to sleep,eat and not negelect the significat other i am glad you liked it
To all the updated font version now also has some fixes the textboxes should not stay anymore, the door should not get you stuck anymore and the two goons talk a bit slower. thanks for all the valuable feedback
@games-by-tom thanks for the feedback. And yeah well he bomb was planned to be a mini game. but to actually win or lose i added those screens literally in the last 5 minutes before the compo time ended. That you don't get text when you go right is a bug, in the beginning it says something like "i better not go there its where the shots came from"
@blind-lemon-games that is actually a very cool idea combined with what @zombiebust3r says it is just one of the endings and a quick one if you decided to play the hero (or curious cat) to soon
@antti-haavikkoI appreciate the time you put into this feedback it really helps.
I can answer most of it with, i wanted to but simply run out of time.
I lost 3 hours because of a crash in which i wanted to do some polishing things like add variety in the scene just some simple artifacts that i can add for a feeling of change. And of course fix some big spelling errors here and there.
And the end screen was not just rushed it was super rushed, it was done 5 min before the compo ended. That far back i was set because of the crash, i was actually about to give up at that moment.
I lost everything from the point of talking to the bald guy to the second phone call. The dismantling of the bomb was to be intended to be a simple mini game like connect the dots or something at least skillbased and not a coin flip and this screen feels like a cop-out but i wanted to at least create an ending for the compo.
And that one pole yeah don't know how it got out of place, the same as you might have notices was for a doorframe. It is fixed in the newer version but thanks for pointing it out.
Walking speed i agree fully with you, i think you do want to walk slower sometimes but i should have reversed the functionality shift to go slower.
And the part with the two guys is more a cutscene that needed them to walk in the right moments but yeah the text went to fast. It did not for me but i forgot to calculate in that i already knew the story.
thanks.
(also glad the mac version worked)
@antti-haavikko that appearing of the random textbox was a bug after the second phonecall where i forgot to change a state and it thought you was forever in your phonecall and was allowed to show the popup.
Same for the issue some people have (and you might had) that you could get stuck in the last door was because it had 2 conflicting signals. All in the name of make first test later and not have time to test anymore :smile: That is also fixed in the last build that i keep separate for now.
@dmitry-mozgin @namidasai @narom42 Thanks for your feedback, the issue you experience is a known one but untill not to many (some) noticed it. But since it is now mentioned 4 times in a row i will fix it as a game breaking bug and update the official compo versions when i get home. Thanks
The 4th link doesn't have the bugs and has a better readable font and slower text by the way
@alexrose thanks for notifying me, no idea what when wrong i zipped the build directory godot gave me. I uploaded a new version. Normally i work in linux but i have tested it this time in Windows. The windows version should now work.
@noam-blei thanks, but i do have to say it was made in 48 hours :) it is a compo entry (hence the bugs and sloppy graphics)
Cool take on the snake game. I only experienced three things that really stood out
first when you start the game i did not expect that you would start at the position that the snake is at that moment so that was as good as in instadie. In the end it does not really matter as you don't have a limited number of lives
When i died once sometimes died right after it again where i spawned in the level
The last you mentioned yourself already and that is i could not get the back to work correctly. This was for as far as i could see only when i was initially going up and pressed down, the head would witch for a moment and then go up again.
But very good idea and fun game to play
Cool game , it got hard very fast and two thumbs up for making it in java script. I did feel that it was hard to place the figures exactly in their place (it was not necessary but bothered me a little bit)
Cool art style, i really missed some sound and an exit button.
I like the thought that went behind the game and also that you did not get any information before hand (because the game is just long enough not to wonder if you do something wrong)
Very funny, a bit hard to play especially after losing my fingers. Funny take on loops. Also that headstone says oops made me laugh
so many bullets.... fun game and a fun take on the theme.
Cool, makes me think of the game destruction derby. Also good background music. I would advice to next time add an quit button. Alt+4 should not be the only way to quit a game.
Fun sounds and graphic and playing with trains. I like this as an idea for the theme. I also feel like i was running over the ladies.
Cool game, intro is impressive so is the music. The fighting is cool but so many enemies that i sometimes dont know what is happening
omg i just barely finished teh compo to fail here over and over again. Great job on the game very fun idea
game looks very cool but the controls were hard to master especially with the camera going trough the wall . I liked the voice acting but the constant candy missing on the background could have a bit less often in my opinion. But cool idea for a game
@rakowu yeah it was not as much a speed issue more a camera position looking/moving at the robot issue. hard to explain. And good choice no to add the camera detection , in jams some things will have to make way to finish others. I just mention i as constructive feedback.
Nice voice acting and this look stunning just a bit short. Two things i would have changed first make the intro skippable, i don't want to sit tough the same part over and over again just let me shoot :)
Second the drones where often intersecting each other probably is just a gamejam thing of not having enough time but it looks a bit silly. But amazing work one of the prettiest games i have seen this jam
At first i did not understood i had to defend the caste and not myself so i was confused why i kept dying. After i figured that out it became more entertaining. I like the win/lose screens a lot. I had one problem and that is that the fullscreen version was not playable for me . It cut of a lot of the screen.
@will-isaacson, no my screen is 3840 : 2160 = 16 : 9. But i indeed had found the windowed version and played that to rate and comment
Good attempt looks very good. I only had the problem in the third level that one of the guards never walked on top of the button. There was no way (that i could find) to restart the level
I like the beat, its exactly the kind of music i would expect in a game like this.
I would prefer if the game was a bit more zoomed out so i could plan my moves better but that might make it to easy i dont know. Overal i also like the graphical effects.
I like how much humor you put in the game and i love the art style especially of the characters. The background was a bit simpler (still good) but that is to be expected in a jam
Fun game, i like how you kept the player and enemies them selves simple. And i like lasso as a (loop) weapon. Im am glad you added an ingame tutorial you dont see that in much jam games
I missed the music a little bit or any sounds, and i was for a bit confused because i clicked go right a few times and it didn't. But it was turn right so that was my mistake. I would like to see the robot a bit faster, it felt a bit slow for me at leas. But great puzzle game and take on the theme
This is a very polished game, i am amaze this must have been a lot of work. I also like how the level changed the more you died. very well done one of the best games i have played so far
Fun game I am sorry I needed to disappoint bob so often, anyway even when i blew up the earth the aliens still got the blame.
This is amazing i think one of the best entries i have played so far. I always try to also give some constructive critisim but i fail to come up with something for this one. Well done
Fun puzzle game, would have been so much better with some sound. I love the simple art style you went for it fits the game very well
Fun little game, good that you added the laser beam else it might be to easy. I would also have added that the scarf after a few hits grow back smaller again to keep you moving more but as it is good entry for a 24 hour game
well that is javascript, truest comment i have seen. Fun take, but i do miss some sounds
Very catchy music, and i like i raced against my own ghosts. I had no controller but it still was fun even with the keyboard
You guys game is so much closer to what i wanted to make than what i ended up making. Very polished game looks awesome and great to play. Only bad thing i can say is i kept dying when i drop down the stairs because there were always monsters waiting for me that killed me before i could do anything
Cool background music, and fun idea. No idea if the game ever ends, but since the theme is "stuck in a loop" i guess it never does
Awesome art and good sound. With the abrupt ending it looks like you wanted to do more than the time allowed (which i know the feelin of). I did kind of miss the theme a bit but i guess that is because you could not really finish ?
I like that you play against yourself. I did not understand how to use the traps part or the r key. Maybe explain that a bit better somewhere?
I like the mood if this game the planets look amazing and it is a fun game play. Only thing that would make it better in my opinion is to be able to move the camera yourself i found the viewing angle a bit hard sometimes
Im not great at these games i kept falling, but i had fun while doing it. I noticed sometimes some graphhical glitches on web. (horizontal lines) might be just my browser but thought i would bring it up just in case
Great windows simulator. But seriously funny take on the theme
5 for music from me love the metal. Game is fun but i would like to see how much ammo i have I like the doom reference as wel
Coll little puzzler. I like how you used very simple graphics but made an entertaining game with it. Just two remarks. With this simple of a game a html5 port would be appreciated i think this is very playable in the browser. And second i did get a bit crazy with the very short sound clip being replayed, maybe next time add a mute button?
very moody,dark game well done. I liked the swinging mechanics. Its pretty hard though
Interesting unique puzzel game. It is to bad there was no sound would like some music and mouse squeaking. Only for my feeling the mouse jumped/floated a bit to far. Might be needed to make the jumps but it felt that shorter jumps would still make it and make it feel a tiny bit better.
I have seen this take on the theme a few times now, i think this is one of the best implemented. I like how you have a force reset so i dont have to wait for the timer to run out. Also a nice touch that you can have a paradox.
I do find the collision detection a bit awkward but that is a minor thing
I like the take on the theme with that end zoomout. Fun to play. Only thing is i felt my snail was drifting.sliding more than actually crawling . Maybe it is because the speed of the snail was faster than the speed of the animation? . I also might just be me
Cool little game and idea. Not sure if it was a bug or it had to be that way but sometimes i would walk over black parts which seemded they missed the materia.
Looks cool and good music, i would like some explanation of what the puzzles actually expect of you i was just clicking around sometimes trying things not knowing what to do. I would say that sticking to a pallet of colors worked for you
I enjoyed this game, i thing this kind of game works very well with the kind of art and music you added. Music could be a little bit less repetitive but its definitely better than no music
I think this is a cool and unique idea and for as far as i can see well executed, but i have no ear for sounds so i think this kind of game is not really for me
Interesting game, how the doors work feel a bit weird to me but since the goal of the game is to show how he is stuck in a loop i guess the moving between two places is less important. I love the background music it is not to happy but a bit forbearing. Graphics are also good
Simple but very well executed game. Sound is fits game play. I had most trouble with the moving walls
Cool minimalist idea for this theme. I do thing the mouse sensitivity is to high it was very hard to control smoothly.
I had a hard time playing this also after it ask me to hurl the bovines i just get stuck, clicking the button seems to do noting.
Fun little game. i do have to say the speed in the start feels a bit to slow for me but that is just a personal think i like runners to start a bit faster. Great job
great game, love the sound and floppyness of teh chracters limbs. Also great voice acting. I did not get to end but might come back to play this later
This is very cool. I like how you make use or your old self to solve the levels. And the background music is good but great you added a mute option
I think i experienced a bug, After i lose my hero i never get new ones anymore even when i lose nothing seems te be reshuffled, i might be dong something wrong ?
So many mini games, well done. Very fun game. I had a bit of problems with the groceries because for me the left side was cut off (non fullscreen) and i did not see that there was a character there. But i love the mood your game sets.
no access for me either, if you change this please i can try to play this again
Interesting idea I think with some tweaks it could become better. First of all the movement (especially turning) is to sluggish. i also often intersected the wall which is not a big problem.
It would also be great if you got a message you found the killer instead of just seeing the main menu. Last of all maybe was coincidence but the killer was the same color all the time. for replayability it would be better if that switched around
cool idea, and well implemented. i do have to say that while the zoomimg in/out based in speed was cool i would have like that i could control it myself as i felt zoomed in i had more control
Interesting take on the theme, i liked the talking part much, the "play a game" part was a bit les interesting . But the game feels pretty polished.
Cool take on the theme, and funny art style. I found it in the beginning a bit hard to see where the arrow went especially with the server room. But i got better at it in the end
I like how you used the sound here. For me having to use wasd here was a bit harder as my right hand is much faster i would have liked the option to use the arrow keys
This looks very serene and wish there was a mellow background music but the art and concept are very cool
First of the game looks very good, and as a first completed game you did very well. There are some minor things however. The collision is a bit off sometimes i just stuck to walls. The other things is that the jumping felt a bit more like levitating or low gravity than actual normal jumps.
I think this game also would have benefited from some music or at leas a jump sound. But keep going like this you will only get better
As @cinar said I think the colors could be a bit more clear. But I really like the spin on the theme here. Also cool graphics. The screen was a bit small for me next time you could look at a full screen mode or something but it was playable
Cool idea nd well executed, also good background music, i like the level design.
It feels like the reach of the guy is a bit short as i keep dying to the knight 9 out of 10 times even after his first attack. i like the sit animation
Same for me as @realman27 says, your link does not work probably because your game is still in draft. Let me know when/if you fix it so i can try to play again
Music and art is very good, and i did get a score of 250. However i am not really sure what i did or had to do. maybe a short explanation will help to make people actually know if they do things right
I get a "There doesn't appear to be anything here..." when i click your link
Cool i like how you can record how to fire your towers it ads a new dimension to the tower defense game i think. Also good background music
A bit short but very cool take on a tower defense game, cool idea to move the obelix but maybe it makes it a bit to easy as they always come from one side at the time. maybe mix that around a bit to make it harder
Sorry could not really get into this game. The idea seems good but controls are a bit hard. It is hard to position yourself so you can shoot in the diagonal but when you do then your bullet has a strange curve and doesnt folow the tiles (which i would expect). Adding some sound would already go a long way and some more finer control.
Fun to play, it was sometimes hard to follow your own guy especially after you passed a lot of other characters. I like the style of the game and it fits the theme very well
Gorgeous game and very atmospheric music and fun to play. For me the a key did not work but than i noticed i could also move with clicking the mouse (which was not described). All by all very solid submision
Cool little game for your first jam wel done. I like the art and humor.
@creepyface i have seen this a few time, most likely your game is still in draft mode, you have ti publish it for use to be able to play
oh no i left the kitty behind. I really enjoyed this game simple but addictive and fun gravity mechanics. SOme "spacy" music would complete this
Cool art style and sounds to match. as said before a bit of music on the background would complete it
"hamster goes whiiiiii" fun little tamagotchi like game. I like your sounds for the hamster. i do feel like the rest button stayed disabled to long sometimes. I had done everything already(i think) but still could not let him rest or run. But i might missed something but might be the same issue as @tamail
Fun little game i like and dislike the teleporting. As a game mechanic its cool and well implemented but got me in trouble more often then out of it. The firing was a bit slow for me. Nit what i expected of a runner but well done.
Cool idea with some good graphics. It is a fun take on the theme. There was a little bug in the start where the shady guy was on top of the ui but that is just a small thing. If i would change something i would say that the sound of moving started to annoy a little bit after a while. maybe make some variation or not play it as often ?
I like the art style, and i think a lot of people are stuck in a loop like that. I do wonder if there is more to it than just scrolling and reading. But interesting take on the theme
I like this concept a lot. I had the feeling it did not always suck perfectly but that might be that i pointed wrong/ The only think that would really improve this is making the spacebar jump instead of W for me personally that worked less good and i kept pushing space to jump (which of course did not work). Art and sound are also very good. A solid entry
I like the lighting. it did make it a bit hard to find stuff but i guess that is the idea. A bit of background music would have been welcome to set a mood for the game i think. I had to go full screen to see everything. Itchio lets you set the resolution. maybe play around with that ?
Your html5 version does not start and the download also fails for me using the first ability. Maybe fix the breaking bugs and reupload? that is allowed within the rules. If you do let me know i will try to play it again because it looks promising
I am amazed how many levels you made, the game looks very good as well and i appreciate the mute buttons. The music was good but a bit repetitive so i was glad i could mute it
Fun little bullet hell game, really loved seeing that hamster bounce around. I do think the difficulty rose a bit to fast, but that is just a personal opinion
Fun game, i do find the fire columns a bit hard to avoid because you don't really see where you fly/ The music is very upbeat and enjoyable. Not sure if it is the font or a typo but the button says "Bach to" instead of "Back to" for me
Very cool puzzle game also very happy upbeat music (it was a tiny bit loud though) The usage of the z key felt a bit strange to me (especially in the menu) but did not stop me enjoying this game
I really had to think in some of the levels which means it are good puzzles. I missed some background music i think that could set some more mood for this game. But it is well done
Seriously it was the aliens that destroyed the earth not me... fun short game took me some time to get the hang of it as i always shot to early or late
Same for me i cannot access. I have seen this a few times before. I think your game is not published yet but in draft.
I had some problem with the jump now and then for the rest it is a fun runner idea. Also fun upbeat music even if it was(seemed) a sort track
Link is broken for me as well. Maybe check if you actually published it?
Link works now, well for your first time. A few tips, make it a bit more clear somewhere what the goal is of the game, what to avoid/search ect. Also great you have a main menu button but also add an exit button on your main menu. I had to alt+4f to exit. Also if you dont add sound you can turn the voting for it off. all by all good effort
Great game with a few smaller bugs that others have noted as well, i got stuck in the pillars and only shooting got me out. For me the character was a bit shaky like his sprite kept being reset.
Also it felt like the character was more on top of the map than part of it. All minor thing that have gamejam all written over it. Its a good entry.
And kudos for actually including an exit button most games forget that (or have no time for it)
Because of the all black/and white art (which looked good by the way) it was very hard to see the smaller items like a fishhook (might be intended) i enjoyed playing this.
Looks very cool and the idea sounds cool as well. It is probably me but i have a hard time to distinguish what the guard lights are and when to move so i get caught all the time
Fun little game plenty challenging , i did miss some sound or music
Was fun to collect spacedust and it had a real asteroids feeling to it. i do feel the cards/deck part was a bit under developed and more like an afterthought. But for a game in 48 hours its pretty good. i would at least make the ship have a bit more symmetry its a small thing but kind of bothered me.
Cool that you could actually match up by going beside yourself. if i could advice one thing is make it a bit more faster as it felt very slow to me but good result in any case
Looks and sounds very good,feels very finished. But to only walk around until you get 100 coins i don't think i could play this a long time. But overall a very good entry
Good idea, fits well in the theme. It is hard to make long pieces of text evade the bullet. One remark is that even if the font used is beautiful it was a bit hard to read and as your typing speed influences your move speed that was a bit bothersome.
It was very hard for me to push the hart at the correct time. But i think how you implemented the game is very true to the game. Seems like a good game and well tough out but not really my kind of game.
Cool game, what surprised me is that the fire burned more then just square :) so i set fire to my settlement
I kept clicking on the items and then remember i have to use the keys. What also trews me off is that the fruit/eggplant had a number and icon but you could not realy do anything with it. But i managed to surive the blight anyway. Cool little game i had fun playing
I now see you said to not forget to chose a deck before you start but i did not see that so boy i was confused. But i figured it out anyway. I would advice to force choosing before staring a game if you have an empty deck. Was a fun combination of shooting and cards. But was i fighting daleks ? :D looked like it
You need to be fast to build the towers you need ( i did not make it past wave 7) but very fun.
Interesting game because of the turn based it feels sometimes a bit more of a puzzler i guess. I would have liked if jumps also counted as a turn as i needed to move back/forward sometimes to get the right timing
Interesting concept, it felt a bit slow and physics were a bit wonky i think could be challenging and fun after you polish this a bit. I do have to say the music was not that great i think in this case no music would have been preferable or at least a mute button.
Looks like a cute game, it was not really clear what to do but i guess you wanted to implement more stuff. For me the move/talk and jump buttons disappeared but i could find nowhere what the keys were that i could use. I did figure it out but could be handy to know beforehand. Would have loved to see more
Im am not a good zombie, could not keep my hoomans alive. I really missed sound of any kind. For the rest cool concept.
@fashionbatman yeah is something i need to improve i agree. The blue box melts a bit to much with the tokens and background
@IDidGame Thanks, it was in the plans todo that but unfortunately bugfixing took to much time. Its definitely someting i will change in some post compo cleanups.
@RadioactiveRambo the idea was to actually add animation of a sorts. Like the units walking out of the barracks and take their place in a bit more pleasing way instead of just insta spawning them.
@Antti Haavikko Yeah the bug with the column is the one known bug i had. It is strange your attack button does not work tho. Thanks for the feed back and bug reports.
@jf1989 sad to hear you had so many bugs it was unplayable for you. I have tried all three levels a few times and execept the know bug as illustrated by antti haavikko i did not encounter other game breaking bugs. Thanks for your feedback though
@geeitsomelaldy Strange, the first level/tutorial is prepared so it should always match. But you might have made a match that i have not for-seen. I might need to limit the dropping position as well as the dragging position. Thanks
Loved it. the game really made me think and plan ahead also good background music
Cool game, got some use to to have a ball as paddle but it worked well. It took me a second read to understand i could actually aim which helped a lot. i would like that the little ball respawn a bit faster but cool idea for the theme
It was hard sometimes dodging ships and bullets and moving the tiles. But was fun and it are definitely two incompatible themes
Cool game. I laughed out loud when i chose to wear the fedora.
Fun game, i like how the music is all calm and happy while there is a killer on the lose. Since your game follows the mouse its impossible to close the window. SO maybe make the esc key close your game?
I loved this game, the whole mood, the dark and the music makes for a very good game. Only thing i can say is if a green scarecrow comes running at you its pretty hard to hide and turn of the light at the same time. Good job
I think this has potential, but i myself could not really get into it. I did like hitting the bullets back. The music got a bit repetitive after a while. But good mixup of themes.
I like the fact that you had to place the towers for the boss and not yourself. But i expected a shield would owrk both was :( it did't. But was fun to play :thumbsup:
Nice backgound music and gameplay. However for a "tutorial level" i would like not to have to restart the whole tutorial if i did something wrong.
I must be the worse rock/scissor paper player. Was fun to play but or i had bad luck or the odd seemed to be stacked against me. Good idea overall and good background music
I liked it, but please add a crosshair or something it was very hard to see where to shoot. Also in the fps mode i thing your gun should have been a bit higher as the zombies looked like giants
Interesting idea, "everything is allowed in love and war" they say so this should mix perfectly.
Some minor issues i had with this are that you do not start focused on the castle which confused me as i thought i might needed to build one. The idea of the dialog is also funny but i only saw 3 questions repeated over and over which started to get irritating.
keep up the good work
I actually liked it, fun game and a good use of the theme. Of course graphics could be better, only problem is that after round 4 i left one attacker trough/ After that i could not continue.
Was fun to play but had some strange glitches like sticking to sides of the platforms without falling. or Walking against a canon makes it collapse to be suddenly whole again.. But i do like the game and the idea behind it.
Great game, i think it fits the theme pretty well. And i do like the "prediction" of your next turn else it would be very hard to actually play this.
Good job, i liked the feel of the game. The music got a bit repetitive but you have sound controls which not a lot of people have (myself included). So good job on that. And the movement might have felt a bit hard but for me i think that matches up with the asteroids feeling the game gave me.
That was a sudden ending :) . I liked it a bit of spooky/dark music would really have added to the feeling of the game.
A bit of explanation on how the fishing mechanics work would be helpful but in the end it was not that hard
It feels a bit hard to control but i liked the game. Good background music. Might play this again
Cool game i liked it much, a bit of spooky background sound or music would help to set a bit more of a mood, the rod was a bit sensitive. Also sometimes it was hard to reach the bubble to catch a fish (usualy the bubbles were under the text then).
I liked the use of gravity, but i missed some kind of undo functionality. The concept works pretty well but i would like to see some limitation on turn length. Of course you have stuff like turrets but i could plot my whole path around the level in one turn.
I like how the game looks. And the tower defense works pretty well. Bit the runner part was a bit to fast/messy for me. Also i think it is better if you offer all your game files in one zip as now i had to download 2 files separately and at first it did not work as i was not sure i needed the second file
Good attempt and fun to see that you interpreted "genres" more as fiction/book genres which i did not even thing about all i thought was game genres. Game itself was a bit bare bones and was not really clear what to do. Just start hitting stuff and they will be fixed :). When the ship was launching somehow i got outside and started to fall to my presumable death, luckily i was saved by the victory dialog. As first games go well done, keep at it.
I liked it, to bad i had to focus to much on the "beat" to really see the attacks or artwork. The music got a bit repetitive quickly though. But great entry
Certainly looks interesting, sound could have made it a but better. And it was a lot of reading before you could start and a lot to remember.
Simple but good pinball game i think the concept of "pocket pet"and a pinball machine go good together. Only think i can return as a improvement point is that it feels to me sizing is a bit off the ball feels small compared to other things for example.
Got "hard" pretty fast as the number of wolves increased rapidly. Fun idea. Only thing that i found kind of irritating is that i could not click on the tools but had to use the nr keys. As i automatically tried to click them every time in needed to switch
A bit more information what to do would be welcome as i had no idea what to do in the start. But i played this way to long its fun to see cute pugs defend the garden. And i like that the path can be made so long. Will give you a long play.
Great game, lots of potential. The camera movement is a bit trippy as the whole screen turns with you (this is not a bad thing but take getting used to)
What a cute little block. I had fun playing this. However i felt the contact with blocks was limiting the movement a bit, if you are not completely on a block you can not jump and if you are between two block often your upward momentum is stopped by the block. But those are just some small things which did not stop me enjoying the game.
Does not start for me. Windows shows in a flash and closes right away.
Is fun to destroy stuff :). I think this was good idea, however i do think the kaiju was a bit slow if you wanted to go the the other side of the map.
The game has a nice difficulty to it by micro managing all those cars at the same time. I also like much the neon effect.
