I like the unique artstyle and atmosphere!
Some of the puzzles where also a little challanging, though most you could solve by just moving the pieces to the target location :)
Screenshot 2026-05-03 115822.png
Quite Nice, would have liked if I could use wasd as well :)
I liked the overall design and mood. I actually liked the controls, gives it more of the vive that you are contolling the device and not playing the player like in other games. But I got lost and did not know what to do sometimes. I think some hints or some more obvious route or something would have been nice.
But the atmosphere and mood this game created was absoulte top notch!
Screenshot 2026-05-02 170039.png
Best rythm game of any LD i have played. Wow this was so much fun and usually i dont enjoy rythm games that much. Good job!
Like the art and the mood very much!
The controls with the sound waves feel a bit clunky. I am not sure how to "exploit the weakness" I was never able to activate yellow crystals, all other colors I managed, but for yellow nothing happened at all so I was only able to dodge monsters, then I got stuk at the lower points and did not manage to go back up :(
Game has a lot of potential! The mechanics are unique and inovative. With a bit more polish and slightly reworked controls this would be increadilble. If you ever release a post jam, feel free to tag me :)
Screenshot 2026-05-02 162610.png
I like the art and mood. Especialy the vfx.
once I realized there was a map it was quite easy. And there was not much more to it than following the map. I feel with some more work the other mechanics (collecting batteries, lighting up the way) could turn this into something much more engaging. For the limited time, it is a very nice entry!
Overall I liked it!
The detector is kind of useless, you can find the boxes much easier by looking, also the rendering of the entrance hole in the ceiling was inconsistent Just before the end I stayed close enough that I could always see it, but than when the warning came it was suddenly no longer rendered. I had also seen that before that the hole sometimes just randomly stopped rendering. Very annoying, because of that I could not find the exit
But Overall I like the atmosphere, I collected like 1300$ before that :)
Was fun to play, I liked how suddenly a miner I had lost suddenly came back flying in I think it was hit by an asteroid far out :D
I really liked having space to break that made it much more controllable. Very simple and I would have liked some sort of progression system, but other than that good job :)
Very nice entry, one of my favorites so far!
Made it to the end, although I would have hoped for some sort of victory screen. I gess jam time ran out :D
Overall great entry!
Nice I had a similar inspiration that you have to tune a wave form with frequency and amplitude, but I made it so that you then have a player surf the resulting signal and adjusted the phase so that it will always remain in phase right below the player. Called it signal surfer :) check it out if you like.
Your gameplay is also nice, I played the jam version, beat level 1 and almost made it through level 2
The UI does not scale properly, on WQHD I am not seeing some of the elements, and in the small browser view I dont see others.
Screenshot 2026-05-02 130439.png Screenshot 2026-05-02 130453.png Screenshot 2026-05-02 130510.png
I really liked the atmospheric feel! The sonar was also nice, I would have loved if It would also highlight the energy packs for pickup. I explored one whole station and did not find the locator (what is a locator) I also reached another station, but the monster always got me. (Does it ever keep tracking you? I feel like I should have de-aggroed it but it always kept reappearing...)
With some more polishing this could be really great. The strong point is really how audio and graphics come together to create thie mysterious eerie mood!
I really like the concept, I also tried the post jam version but I am still not getting the hang of it.
I think what is missing is some sort of feedback "too early" or "too late" with visual and sound cues. I am trying to hit the butone to the beat but If I miss i am not sure why. Sometimes I manage and sometimes i dont and I don't know how to improve.
Another benifit of this is that it lets the player automatically adjust for things like input lag etc.
If you incorporate more feedback, i would love to come back and try again :)
Wow you really would not think this was done for a game jam! I really liked the art and the animations are so smooth!
Also the platform controls feele very nice and responsive, not like your usual game jam game!
This is your first ludum dare entry, although one of your accounts is 9 years old :) So what inspired you to finally go for it and make an entry? Really cool!
Nice I Played all three levels!
I liked the funny sound effects! Good job!
We had the exact same IDEA! Only in my game you control the Signal and not the Player :)
Just add a "-2" to the url to find it :)
Screenshot 2025-10-24 194209.png
Very nice entry, so much complexity in a short time! good job!
Screenshot 2025-10-24 193401.png
I had all but the last so quick then it took forever...
anyway such a gem to find in the danger zone, hope you make your 20 ratings
Screenshot 2025-10-20 195916.png
I also got 89% and kept opening packs in hope for a secret rare xD
Wow you made such a mechanically sound fighting game work in 72 Hours. Great job!
I also thought of making an creature collector type game but decided it would be too big of a scope. So congrats to you for actually doing it!
Wow very nice Idea, really good take on the theme. I personally would have liked Cards for past LD themes. Or A Common spell card that says "Bugfix" etc. The potential for meta jokes would have been insane :D
And then Rare Cards like "Bugfix (without introducing two new ones)" or similar!
But I also like your more classical take :)
Really nice and chill game. I wish I could earn money this simply in real life.
One Wish I would have is that you could start using the next level items as soon as you bought them.
in the first level I bought the rod and the dock before starting to restore. I had hoped I could use them as soon as I buy them but got dissapointed. I thought you did not have time to implement the fishing rod xD. Was happy when I could use them later
I once made a game with annoying windows effects for the theme Stuck in A loop. This reminded me of that, although way more soffisticated. I would have liked some more hints I had to rely on the document quite a lot...
Nice Idea, very goot take on Collector!
The last round is quite tough with the resources flying so quickly.
Like others I was also wondering if it is just random or if there is any predictable behavior. One thing i figured, if you let the king snatch too much early on, you cannot come back.
Some more user feedback would have been nice. Like some indication as to why I died or how the crash chance is increasing. it was quite unintuitive.
But I liked the overall concept of the game. Good Job!
Screenshot 2025-10-13 222723.png
small and fast game quite nice!
til: acryllic paint was invented in the 20th century
Screenshot 2025-10-13 221917.png
Collected the good stuff !
Really great atmosphere! The art and audio came together very nicely into one cohesive experience. I really liked it!
Screenshot 2025-10-13 220041.png
very tiring for the hands xD
I played the Jam version and it was very buggy. Might also have to do with me being on a 16:10 and not standard 16:9 display?
Sometimes the penguin kept sliding forever and it seemed like the same move sometimes let me cross a barrier and other times did not.
Overall the idea was very nice, I really liked the musical bits and shooting the penguin into space :D
Screenshot 2025-10-13 213512.png
Quite fun, I liked the humor, I also collected all the animals!
also get the 404 error...
Screenshot 2025-10-09 093919.jpg
Very Nice Game!
I think to be even more addictive it misses the kind of insane scaling ala cookie clicker. At some point the progress slows down a lot. I felt like I had seen evetything and the last bit of getting to 1200 felt more like a chore than fun!
But up to that point it was really a lot of fun!
Really cool game! I liked it a lot!
I hit an integer overflow or similar bug and suddenly had almost endless gold. (or do gold piles add ridiculus multipliers?)
The main critique would be that it was not clear which upgrades did what. Some stats on hover or short explanation of the differnt ability would have been nice

Very Nice Game! loved the graphics. In the end i just kept pulling random blocks from the bottom of stacks hoping it would do something. Somehow that worked. Not to different from other match3 games sometimes. So well done I guess!
Screenshot 2025-04-13 201641.png
Awesome game! I loved the fight mechanic with the swinging anchor. The absolute highlight is of course the artstyle with the animations and how fluid everything feels. Good job!
Very fun game! The artstyle was very charming. I did not quite understand what the goal is. Beat the level? then I can just jump of the side. Highscore? How do I get points, every kill is a point? Does time play a role? Does it make any sense to try and survive a level further after I killed all the enemies?
Screenshot 2025-04-13 195130.png
Awesome game. The polish on this one is unreal. Can't agree more we need a steam version :D
I think I will go back and hunt the highscore a little more after I reviewed some more games!
Increadible game!
I played all levels until 1100m and I think i will come back after the jam is over to finish tahe remaining ones. What a game!
Graphics and Atmosphere and Audio were absolute top!
I would have prefered to be able to air strafe just a little, e.g. I died a few times because i wanted to go to a platform essentially just below me, but when I walked off the character kept that speed so i flew past the platform I aimed for. Other than that I have no complaints. Good luck with your ratings!
Very Nice Idea.
I feel like the timings were a little off. I had to intentionally try to hit the buttons when it switched to the next block. But it was a bit annoying. Maybe some input latency issues were involved? idk After a while I was able to somewhat adjust but it still felt off so I did not try for higher levels.
Very nice Idea!
How do I change my name for the leaderboard? just saw it as user01 didn't ask me either. Or do I have to play non Web version for leaderboard?
The art on this game is absolutely stunning, and so is the audio. Together they create a great atmosphere. Inceadible work!
The gameplay is abit buggy and slow. Several times I had to restart because something broke. Can't move under water, suddleny the game thinks I'm swimming while I'm on top of the ship etc. I hope you get a more stable version going. Ping me if you do! Unfortunately I have to rate based on the jam version, but this has great potential!
Previously I Accidentally commented the feedback for the wrong game here. Then I realised you can't delete comments just edit so now after I am edeting the comment to actually have the correct feedback after having played the game :D
The Artstyle was really unique and in general i liked it, i just felt in some sections the very high pixelation without anti aliasing just hurt from looking at because the pixels changed to rapidly when moving the mouse. Especially with the bright glowing jellyfish in the end. I don't really know how to fix this without throwing overboard the incredible artstyle. Maybe more muted colors?
Strongpoint is definetly the mood that this game delivers!
I use a 60% Keyboard without arrow or num keys, so the controls were even more akwward than usual maybe ijkl could be added as ab option?.
Like manys others, I was never cutting one item I was never able to cut a second one. If I cut the cucumber first I couldn't cut the tomato and vice versa.
I hope you'll fix these issues soon, because other than that it was a great entry!
Screenshot 2024-10-12 193845.png
Very Nice game! I never even used the poop just got all the dogs on the map in range and then used the fleas as a powerfull AOE.
Very cool! Impressive scope for a jam game!
One point of critisism: I think the exhaustion mechanic was very annoying and unneccesary. It added nothing to the game for me.
Other than that, I liked it a lot. Again Impressive how many mini games you managed to get into the game in such a short time frame!
Definetly very high on the Mood scale :)
Very nice entry!
I like the sound desing especially!
The biggest issue as some others have said is the RNG. It is quite frustrating to die because the next platform simply spawned to high.
But a very nice take on the theme, a tiny creature eating even tinier creatures!
Screenshot 2024-10-12 190807.png
I think that is the highest so far? :)
I really like the game design and especially the audio, both sound effects and music
Creative interpretation of the theme
The only small critizism i have is the insane difficulty increase from level 8 to 9
I played three rounds all ended in level 9
Level 8 feels like I can play it forever and then 9 is already impossible
Congrats on third place!

Really cool game, I never quite figured out which sheep like which tune so I was more randomly selecting them haha.
Love the art style, and it is one of the most creative interpretations of the theme I've seen so far!
Maybe a link to the how to play page from the ingame menu could have been helpful but I figured it out anyway :)

I liked it quite a lot. The akward controls make the game challanging and fun. I think you found the right balance between very easy controls and too akward that it becomes frustrating. At least for me. Graphically there was a lot gooing on which added to the feeling of limited space.
Overall Good job, really nice entry!
Very cool game! I tend to die when I try to kick out other balls. Just trying to survive would probably the better strat haha.
Had to play muted audio at work so wont rate audio or mood.
Coolest interpretation of the theme I have seen so far!
I had to play with muted audio at work, so I won't rate on audio and mood, but I'll probably come back to play it at home since people are mentioning that the audio is fantastic as well! Very well done!
Really really cool game, very well polished!!
Minor point of critique: sometimes the dragging felt a bit off. It did not place the tiles where I wanted it to. I think the point where the pieces are relative to the mouse coursor is pre defined and not the point where it is actually clicked. As long as the game is slow-paced, this is not an issue as the ghost blocks show exactly where the block will be placed. However, once it gets faster, there is no time to watch for the ghost block. At that point intuitevly you just move the mouse to where you want to place the particle. Now if the pickup point is pre-defined and not where the mouse is actually clicked, this feels off. and you don't place the blocks where you actually wanted to place them.
This was especially frustrating on the final level.
Other than that, I really enjoyed it a lot. I had to play with muted audio since I played this at work. This means I wont be rating audio and mood but I probably will do that when I can play this with audio from home :)
Was playing this at work with muted audio, so did not leave a reating for that and mood, will probably come back to try with audio at home though.
I enjoyed this verz much! I think this is my fovorite game this jam so far. A lot of strategizing. From my experience such games require a lot of coding so often polish falls to the side. Not with this entry. Really well done! Good job!
Thanks so much for dropping by my stream. I really had some fun with this one :) Unfortunately the Vod seems to be gone...

Very cool game.
One thing I feel is missing, is an indicator from where the police is coming.
would have benn such a small and simple thing, and yet it would have increased my fun with this game manyfold.
I just ran in with the scout and ran back out lol
i liked the game on my first playthrough, but going for highscore is soo incredibly boring...
you die at some point because you got too bored and stopped paying attention. If you keep your attention I think you can go forever
found a weapon that filled the entire screen with bullets and killing everything almost instantly, was easy after that :) Don't kno if i collected a dev weapon or if the extra bullet upgrades did that
played some more off stream #7 world is ok for now i guess
thx for hanging out in the stream, beat my highscore again after you were gone ;)

Insane!! best game I played in any Ludum Dare so far, crazy!
5/5
Please hook me up to your drug dealer, you must have been on some real Soma 31-37 to get this out in three days!
Amazing, very well done!
This game is so well polished :)
very cool game!
dont think i can add much to everything that has been said already, good job :)
How do you even coordinate such a team? haha
I really liked that you included an option to invert the controls, for me they were inverted by default so I had the option to switch them back to normal. However everytime I restarted the level I had to manually switch them again.
I found the easiest way to play was to stay at the station and just shoot the packages. It took me way less than 10s on avarage to deliver a package like this, so I could basically play infinitley.
I stopped at 100 packages haha
the satallites got really annoying after a while, I think the game could have done without them.
MEEEGA cute game OMG So adorable. I love it :)
The only minor critizicm is for me the obnoxious pop ups got old after a while.
Other than that mega fun to play, and the exact right amount of challanging!
Well done, really great work!!
Increadible graphics and Atmosphere!! I, too, struggled to figure out the controls, after a while I managed to find out how to move the platform up and down and collected some crystals. But at a certain level the platform got stuck and my fps started going down the drain. At some point it was seconds per frame rather than frames per second. As a final act i lifted the platform to the top and walked off screen lol
I really liked the Artstyle very cohesive.
Controls felt a bit sloppy but other than that I liked this game a lot.
Good Job guys!!
I liked the Idea behind the game, with a bit more polish and variation this could have been really cool and fun to play. For me the game broke on day 2.
But as you said, take this as a learning experience. As long as you learn somthing a jam participation is never a failure :)
POMO!
I love this!!!
Your best so far IMHO
I'll grind this a lot I think.
My highscore run was pretty early with a lot of good rng, since then I have gotten so much better at the movement (it feels truly fantastic), but not such RNG again...
very funny game.
For me (windows build) the controls were very hard. i hat to spam spce like 20 times before the dismount worked and also had to spam the lasso many times before it would register a hit. This made it unfortunately too frustrating for me to complete.
I'll check if the controls are better on web, but other than that (which seems like a bug) the game was fantastic
1185 Highscore
got to 1800 on one run but did not return in time haha
very cool little entry. 10/10 would pee on fire hydrant again
very addicting trying to beat the highscore haha, buit deliveries don't reset between runs lol
Snail Stuck!
Still faster than our local snailmail haha :D
Finished all 12 Levels. The difficulty curve was very well designed :)
Died on purpose because it was starting to get boring haha
really clean, but there should have been more levels after 5 so that at some point it does get to hard to continue :)
really liked the asthetics :)
AHHHOOO!
tschschschschsch!
those sound effects hahaha!
really fun entry. enyoyeyed my time with it soo much haha
Very Cool Idea!
How does it recognize if you drew correctly? i never managed the third word on the second interaction "to be" it always failed...
I did not expect that, that was sooo much fun!!
Could use some coyote time for the jumps, other than that the controls felt verry good.
Very funny 5/5 for humor :)
So Creative! I love it!, Very polished and well designed! Played through all the levels, definetly one of my favorites so far
Very Relaxing game haha. But you can't really loose if you pay just a little bit of attention :)
I think there is a bug when you catch a boxe back, and lose it again it counts as two pizza boxes lost, because sometimes I find that I lose whit like half the pizza boxes still there, and its usually after I did an impressive "everything flew out and I caught them again" moment. This is such a shame because those are the coolest imo, but they get punished.
Also How is this so hard? haha
Really well made overall. I like the artstyle, and it gives you this, "i feel like i was so close, just one more try" feeling Haha.
in level three if you never catch the boxes in the start you can win without boxes due to the same bug haha
Crazy cool 3D modelling, impressive for the time.
I killed all enemies collected all artifacts and brought them to the respective stations but then nothing happend... I guess a bug? I think the sword got stuck in the rock somehow and did not prroperly trigger the ending.
A Sword Stuck in a rock is kinda fitting tho lol
Fun little game :D does this just go on forever or can you win somehow?
Also I would make the whole dungeon a viable target for tha drop, not just the small white square :)
A bit janky, after the tutorial the back button did not work
After completing the tutorial I started the first game and imediately I could not recognize the item on the order with anything on the shelfs. I picked up somthing that I thought could be it, but it was aparently wrong. After I packaged the wrong item. Nothing worked anymore and every time i pressed q a green marker spawned, after a while the whole screen was full with green markers
On my next run I managed to create the package for the first order, but then the package disapeared and I could not deliver it giving me no revenue. The item was cleared from the queue. When doing the second Item the queue, same thing happend again
I liked the Idea of the concept, And this is probably a bunch of fun playing with multiple friends if it works properly, but for me was unfortunately kinda broken :)
Haven't played yet, but before I forget, it is never good to use escape as a bind for a WebGL game, since it will just close the fullscreen :)
1824 Dollars, I am RICH!!! I wish you could earn that in a day of deliveries haha
very fun game :)
Looks very cool!
unfortunately the game does not register my mouse clicks :( So I can never use the money I eaned in the shop
Very Cool Idea!
I really liked the Art and Audio. And overall the Game felt really polished.
I have two minor points to critizse:
-the RNG makes it so that the difficulty varies a lot, I feel like with some more constraints on what to generate next to what this could be improved a lot.
-The grabbing feels a bit inconsitent at times. I think it is because if a grab is sucessfull is defined by where the hand is, and the hand has some delay on the movement. So sometimes it feels like i should have grabbed a ledge while in reality the hand was simply not on top. Maybe a solution could be when the mouse is released try to grab. if it fails, let the hand move to the last mouse position for another like .2s or so and try grab again.
But other than that Really great entry. I would say best I have played so far, but that does not mean much since it is the first I am playing this LD lol :D I might come back later to confirm if it is still the best ;D
Very cool game, you really improve with timing the auto attack with your movements. I played three rounds, my highest score was 67 :)
Very cool to see an fps game. However for my taste the sesitivity was way too high. The game needs a sensitivity slider :)
Really cool game, the controls really hurt my brain, but in a good way :D
I have to come back to this once I got some sleep after jamming
Link is Broken, pls fix :)
Great Game Again Pomo! , I'll have to get that high score some time :)
Hey guys :) you should not publish your games until you have provided a playable link. Right now this game is at the top of the list, because no one can rate it.
mail.jpg I think the game does not display correctly for me?
I have a 4k display on chrome
really cool Game!
I got the final robot and it did not take long for my resources to overflow.
The only slight negative I have, is that the clicking got annoying at some point, a click hold and brush would have felt nicer I think.
Really cool game! 5/5 on Mood for sure. The Audio was also fantastic. The Theme feels a little bit just slapped on top and dying due to not finding a firefly quickly enough felt a bit annoying. But those are minor negative points for an overall awesome game!
Virus scanner detected something in the file...
I opened it anyway. Just hope you are not malicious :D
I liked the artstyle and the unexpected things coming from the conveyor belt :D
Very cool game! I really liked the art and it seems very polished. Good job on coordinating such a big team! The switching mechanic was very cool. But I'm just repeating everything that has been said before. Good job overall!
Really Cool! I am really interested in the exact settings for stable diffusion that you used.
We made our game completely with AI generated Assets from Stable diffusion. I wrote about the asset creation process in a blogpost here:
https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/51/world-warp/gernerating-assets-using-ai-for-our-ld-games
Would be cool to share experiences about Stable diffusion

Really cool concept in general. I liked the art. The tutorial was also really good. I had to play it muted so I won't rate audio. However, there needs to be some sort of limit on how many or how often you can place things. Maybe a shop system where you get points for killing monsters and then can spend them on buildings. I just built this undefeatable setup in the first minute which killed most things before they'd ever reach the visible area. Was not really much fun that way.
In general a really cool game, but for my taste way too much luck dependent. I got 160 on my first try (or my first real try after figuring out falling things kill you) and then never got close again to that score for half an hour of playing. I was just very lucky on the first run. Lucky with the drops, lucky with the bounces... The inconsistent bounces are very frustrating while playing.
Really Really fun game. The taunting Tank in the back strategy is very overpowered :D I got destroyed by that on one playthrough and then implemented it myself. Its crazy :D
Very Nice entry! Got 180s. Not sure If I want to try to challenge the Highscores on this one tho xD
very addicting!
in the end I was getting nothing that increased my dps for a long time... Is that on purpose, or was I just unlucky?
Very cool game! really interessting take on the theme I like it a lot. The game lagged a little bit for me, but that might be because I played on a 4k monitor
Really cool game :)
I would have loved some sort of score or timer, so that you could compete for highscores or something :D
Also when I hit restart the game freezes and crashes :(
I got 1K Really cool concept! I like :)
Very cool game! I liked it a lot. Very cool take on the theme!
It lacks a little bit of polish since it is so feature rich, but it is amazing for the timeframe!
Overall super solid entry!!
I found it a bit counterintuitive that the energy drained not by how much distance was driven, but rather how often I clicked. Once I figured that out, beating it was quite easy :)
Other than that, I liked the art style, I liked the interpretation of the theme and I liked the rover of course :)
I made it to round 6 :)
Really well polished. I very much liked the chill vibes this creates. Audio and Viusal work very well together here. Good job overall!
I got 19 rounds. It got incredibly stressful towards the end!
This is one of the most polished games I have ever seen in a Ludum Dare! And this has the best audio of any LD game I have ever played! Definetly very strong overall!
Really cool game!
The art style was absolutely beautiful, I really liked it :) The story was also cool and funny.
One criticism I have is that for me the text speed was much too slow. However, you can't skip to the end of the sentence, because if you hit space it starts the next sentence instead of completing the current one. This would be a small fix that would make the game much more enjoyable for me :)
Made $22.6 Million $99,999.99 Subscription definetly worth it!
A Pomo game with janky physics? What could you want more from a LD entry. Let the Highscore battle begin
Very cool Idea! Nicely Done! I really liked the puzzle aspect. My biggest criticism is the responsiveness of the mouse. Most of the time it takes me two or three clicks until the game reacts. Once the mouse is held down the game works just fine. Only the initial click is troublesome. This is very problematic because it makes certain passages near unbeatable since you need quick mouse movement.
Later when i come home I might come back to try this game on a different system, maybe also others can comment if they have issues or if this is an Isolated problem for me?
Also I had no Audio Available here so I might give an audio score later also.
This Game is absolutely brilliant, so simplistic and fun. Well deserved win!
Nearly the exact same concept as this game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/49/unstable-tricky-table
very nicely executed! All the different angles you added really helped!
I got a score of 1700, The strategy I came up with was to build a ring of yellow throw everything else out and then fill it up with blue rods. My runs always die because I accidentaly pick up one of the yellows and everything starts to tumble :(
Maybe I'll grind for the highscore later.
Overall very good and polished entry!!
Very polished and adicting game! I had a lot of fun playing this. My score was 153414 x28. The controls took a little getting used to but then it works quite well.
Very cool Game I reached 16000 points :) , I really liked the pixel art! A little tutorial would have been nice, I could not figure out what the burning ninja in the bottom right is supposed to do also I did not figure out the sword. I only used the ninja star and the dash :D But other than that the game work really well!
Very cool game! Nice take on the theme. I went for a banana strategy and had it in a stable equilibrium at about 10 banana plants. Then I got greedy for more profits and everything collapsed. Lessons to be learned :D. Cool concept and nice execution!
Volume sliders don't work :(
Also I would have loved a checkpoint system, it got really frustrating to always start from the beginning. And I agree with previous commenters that everything needs a little bit more polish. Next time maybe scale a little bit smaller with the project but actually have it well polished.
That being said the graphics and audio were really good! There would have been a lot of potential for this game!
Quite cool game, I liked it :)
I would have loved a sensitivity slider for the mouse, I don't really like the high sensitivities.
Also on the morse code one you could just hold down the button.
I managed to save the reactor :)
please mark your link as Windows and not HTML5 Web if you don't have a build that is playable on the web
@arthurds JinGoKu.png
Very nice Game! Will hunt for a higher score still :)
I had the same bug as @r3dleg, alse had quite a laugh :)
Overall absurd and funny game :)
Hamster Vibing in Space <3
Cool little story Game, I liked it :)
The font was a little hard to read especially if you were distracted by the acess code and had to catch up fast. Was there a way to find the acess codes? I just did trial and error :D
Saw a streamer play it and knew I had to try it myself. Did not get dissapointed. The game is very well polished :)
incredible work! This game creates an atmosphere that is just astounding and then tells a story without really using words. Just WOW! Keep up the good work!
Wow, I loved this! So Incredibly Well done.
I'd maybe add a Zen mode without the timer, or maybe I'M just bad :D
The visuals and audio were absolutely stunning good job!
One of my favorite entries so far :)
To the pepole that can't figure out what to do, you need to shoot the flag roughly 10 times, there is a litte sound effect playing when you hit it :)
Game was very funny :)
Quick tip for the webGL build bind the options to something else than escape since it also closes Fullscreen. Makes it impossible to play for me in fullscreen since I can't change the sensitivity
Can't wait for Honk-IV ;)
Everything else has been said :)
Awesome Graphics! 5/5 I hope to see this in the Top 10 of Graphics at the end :)
Really cool game overall :)
Cool little platformer. Overall it worked and was quite a lot of fun. Sometimes you had to wait quite long for the axe to swing back which killed the flow a little. I had 39 deaths in the end. Mostly I was just impatient :D
Interessting Concept. I could only play against myself, which is not Ideal, would have loved a rudimentary ai
Very cool Idea, Highest Level I got was 11. Sometimes the layout of the higher level screwes you over so much that it is impossible to complete them. Other than that I had much fun with everything. Good job :)
Very Cool graphics, a tutorial would have been helpfull. It took a while to understand the mechanics without one. But it plays well once you understood them.
Game is verry well done :) However, I am garbage at playing this :D SO I Don't think I'll attempt records this time... :(
Very Cool Game I managed to get over 100 on normal after a few tries :)
Cool Game! The hit dectection is a bit buggy and at a certain depht it becomes to narrow for the submarine and it starts glitching into the walls. Other that that cool game!

Cool little game. In really like the core concept, but it is missing some finishing touches. You either die within your first 3-4 fights or you become so ovepowered that nothing can stop you. I leveled all the way up to level 10 where I often one-shotted enemies with a normal attack. The UI is not very nice looking, but the general stickman art is cool. The inventory system has some bugs.

Hi,

I just watched it again and I sound a bit over critical.
I just want to reiterate I am totally amazed by the game! Even with the flaws I mention this is still one of the better games I played! It just overall has this unfinished feel and I think with your team's talent, if you had opted to make a simpler, more polished game you could have been a real contender for some of the top spots!
Anyway here is the Video!

Hi,
I tried playing your game however the game did not recognise the button presses something like 80% of the time. I don't know if you have a fix for this bug but the game was nearly unplayable.
I decided not to rate overall and fun, since I can't really rate that without the controls working properly
I'll post my attempt of a playthrough on Youtube once it finished uploading

Hi here is my YouTube Playthrough I hope you enjoy! https://youtu.be/F-VMUzH2Ghg
I really liked all the meme fish. That was a funny idea and the reason why i tried this game. I actually managed to find all of them. The gameplay is a little boring after a while, you just go left to right and back until you find all of them. The graphics are great tho. And it fits the theme how you have to go deeper and deeper to find all of them
This was fun I farmed a lot of lives at the one up thing in the start only to realize later that you can simply use fake quarters :D Certain sections become tedious after a while especially if it takes ages to reset just so you get another chance at a shot that would let you progress
Very Cool mix of an Idle-Fighter and Slay the Spire style level progression. This could allow for many different strategies in the future
Very Cool Idle game, I think if you add some procedural levels and tidy it up some more this could be a working mobile release !

@patrickjr thanks for your fanstastic feedback on our game again. I have now implemented most of what you suggested. Give it another try if you have not already
I really liked your game. It was a lot of fun and I tried getting a new highscore for quite a while. I love the art and the audio. My biggest critisicm would be the difficulty curve. The game starts out easy, stays easy till ~25k points and then just seems to get very overwhelming very fast. I would increase the spawn rate more slowly after maybe 20k so that you can spend more time at the sweetspot where you can just about keep the enemies in check if you don't mess up, because that is where the game is the most fun.
Hi,
Here is my playthrough of your game
https://youtu.be/IZvn4zpDR1k
I did not really understand how you get points. Especially since dying over and over just helps you increase your score. And I tried to figure out if you get more or less points by going faster but it did not seem to matter, so I am not sure. In the end I just died over and over until my score was over 3000
Hi :)

Haha lets See if I can get the Highscore again :) I also made a Deep Sea themed game this time. I am in the final phase of publishing maybe Check it out later.
Congrats on the Overall victory in the Jam Category! :)
Congrats on the Overal victory!
I won, I beat blue (was ahead after 3 Laps and continued to do so)! took a lot of grinding tho. seriously the racing got me hooked more than actually getting out of the loop. Optimizing the corners and jumps until I could finally be faster than blue was amazing! The controls felt realy neat which is why I could optimize the race so well. (Blue still said he was first tho even if I was in front of him :D.)
Cool game. I really liked the controls, they felt really good which is already 90% of what you need for a good platformer. The graphics are charming programmer art. And the audio was funny, too. The only thing I have to critizize is the difficulty. It is way too easy for me. After 3000 points and still 100 health I got bored too much and stopped. I could have gone on for ever. It is hard to get a difficulty that is right for everyone. So I would suggest you could put in increasing difficulty or maybe just stop giving healthpacks after 1000 points or something.
Hmm I think there is a bug in the game. I think you are only supposed to place pieces starting from your own pieces. But I can just select any empty square as a starting piece. This means I can just win on turn 1 by placing a group straight to my opponents base... Other than that cool idea.
Pretty basic game. The recipie mechanic worked but I did not really find it very rewarding. It was doing the recepies for the sake of the recipies, which I did not enjoy too much. I really would have liked it, if there was like a small reactor building up with every recipe you finish. Also the looping mechanic with the timer felt more thrown on top, rather than atually integrated in the game. However I really enjoyed the graphics and the audio! They were wonderful :)
haha "winscreen" maybe 30 sec after I opened the game 😆
Not even on puropose
quickest from loading a LD page to winning the game I ever archived :D
Very cool concept :) I am amazed by the different ways peoplw have found to make a game out of this theme. I love the art and music. Qutie lovely and fitting for such an entry. All in all very good entry :)
edit: snail_highscore.png
Very cool and polished game! Good that you made such a big team work, that is not always easy. The controls felt realy tight, which is alreay most of what is needed in a game like this! I loved the voiceovers, the models were great and the theme was well executed.
Overall good job in all categories
The theme is strong with this one!
loops within looops within loops within loops
Nice game. But for me the whole screen just went black once the timer ran out..
Really cool concept!
For me personally the sensitivity was way too high. Generally in shooters there should be a sensitivity setting imo. Also, a fov setting would have been nice.
Other than that the monsters were cute. The theme with the looping room was implemented very well. And the shooting and movement felt very good! Audio was also on point. Oveall well done!
@convg Wow you improved a lot since LD-46 good job!
Really liked the game. The movement feels very good. I did not do the boxes in the final level, so I had to abuse the movement to get to the portal :D Luckily I recorded a shadow, so I have a gif of how I did it :D
The shadow mechanic was a super cool take on the theme.
Keep up the good work!
Yes I managed to beat it!
The silver key and golden key are very hidden tho.
Very moody game. The controls feel good and after some searching you will find the secrets!
Dont give up too easyily everyone!
Very cool game! I finished it. The art is just perfect as well as the interpretation of the theme. The short story was nice as well!
I like the graphics, the artstyle is lovely!
The gameplay is a pretty basic Tower defence, with some twists, like you only have a fixed amount of Traps. Overall it is fun to play, but you need to figure out what the different traps do.
The theme is a bit of a stretch here tho.
Hmm the elevator did not seem to work for me, so I played up to that point.
I love the ragdoll animations, they are great!
You were not kidding when you said aim for the limbs. As a seasoned FPS player i was giving them soo many headshots and nothing happend :D That's a nice touch.
I really liked the funny descriptions like "I don't know why it's called healing station" :D overal great job, cool entry!
Fun Game!
The birds are really hard to dodge, for the falcon you basically have no chance :D
The sound effects are really funny!
Highscore was 94, but the screen changed back to the title screen before I could take a screenshot.
I got to Wave 9, that Wave is insane!
Overall a fun little game, but I think the theme is a bit of a stretch.
The chicken is too damm good. I stood no chance...
You know ** chicken are one of the closest living relatives to the T-rex**
I can see that now
I am terrified of chicken now
Oh have mercy dear all mighty chicken!
Cool Idea, good job!
Is there any point in keeping your mouth closed? If yes I missed it, I held spacebar down the entire time.
I really liked the artstyle and the collision physics :)
I named the screenshot WierdDrugs.png lul
I build a raft and when I tried to escape I just looped back in on the other side :(
Then I found some other players who seemed to be afk, so I stole all their stuff. (If I stole your stuff just go south)
Cool little game you made there
"The Cow handles like a fine drift car" is not a sentence I thought I would ever use...
But The Cow handles like a fine drift car!
The game is pretty well polished for the timeframe. The animations were not perfect, but most games don't even have animations... So I can't complain too much
One suggestion: on itch.io enable "click to launch in fullscreen" I would love to play this in fullscreen
Please don’t publish a game if you are not done. It is now on the front page and since no one will rate this it will be stuck there…

Great game about spotting fake news:) However the only way to win is to report accurately. I think there should have been an ending for if you share the stories for only one side or the other, and maybe a third ending if you only share the love stories etc. (Or I missed if there is a way to do this)
What the Hell did I just play??
Verry funny game. The audio is very good and overall the game feels very polished good job!
Very cool game!
Nice interpretation of the theme!
The looping mechanic works quite good. I only saw the gravity indicator very late. maybe you could have made that one a bit more obvious?
Other than that well polished small game!
Ehh maybe don't publish your game before you are done? This is stuck now on the front page because you gave some reviews but you cant recieve any...
Indeed very similar to my game. Only I used original Windows sounds and submitted in Jam :D
Edit: yes I used an autoclicker for my highscore sry
I got 4:36 on my first try, not so good, even though I used to be quite good at space cadet.
Very cool interpretation of the theme, I liked it a lot :)
Very cool game! Has a great overall feel to it. You should add a screenshot to your page!
One thig that would have been usefull is a fast forward button.
5/5 on theme for the second game! Well done
What the *** did I just play :D
It definetly had a giant loop tho!
Enjoyed playing this. Keeping all turrets active is hard. I think the longest I lasted with all turrets was something like 20s. The Audio is really well done!
@indigo like for the score you need to stay close to the present for a long time and not actually touch it ;D
Very cool game. After a while you get very used to the controls, Always counter steer instantly guys! Then you have more control over your plane than a fighter pilot.
Very cool "Game". More like a relaxing tool than a game.
Well graphics depends on the user I guess, so I have to give a bad score because mine did not come out great :D (joking of course)
Impressive work for the timeframe! Everything just works so smooth mandala.png
Haha Snake Loops, that's a hilarious interpretation of the theme.
I realy love the artstyle, it looks very lovely.
The gameplay is a bit monotonous and the game could have profited heavily from some indicators about where to find berries and snake-loops.
Overall nice entry!
Pretty much a Slay the spire clone, which is not nescesarily too bad since it is one of my favorite games.
However the theme is a bit of a stretch for this one.
Overall cool that you managed to get something this complex working in the timeframe!
My game suddenly ended and I got the following message:

Congratulations for finishing your first game Jam. I hope you learned a lot and had tons of fun! That's what it's all about.
The game is buggy and far from perfect, but that does not matter. It is your first game!
No I could not get out of the loop :(
very cool game!
I played in "super expert mode" and only used left and move, so I had to type three times left for a turn right :D
Haha it is true, one spends way too much time. However it makes you realize that you spend way to much time in any RPG :D
it is just like any RPG ever, which is exactly what you wanted.
Many points on Humor and Theme tho
Very cool game, I managed to beat it :)
It is a great package, I love how quirky it is. The artstyle on top of the real computer photo, together with the audio is perfect. Much charm, much like :D
The only problem I found is the performance. It tends to have some micro lags (which are very annoying if they let a bullet pass through), that such a game should not have. It happens in the web version and the windows version.
Hi, both web versions for me load only to like 95% and then stop. I am using Chrome on Windows10.
I tried the windows version and it realy is a nice game! good job! creative interpretation of the theme.
I solved most puzzles by just building up lots of momentum. maybe that is a bit too op. I would maybe use some sharper acceleration but capping the top speed of the balls.
Same here I get the same error. Using chrome on windows if that helps.
Also the window seems too small for the game. In the Itch.io settings I recommend hitting "click to launch in fullscreen" which works the best imo. Also, it does not force fullscreen contrary to what it sounds like.
Wow very cool game! The Art and music are amazing!
Somehow at first I thought I could only hit enemies from above, which made the game harder but not impossible, and I think I enjoyed at even more with that restriction :D
Maybe enable fullscreen? I always find the "click to launch in fullscreen" option works best on itch.io. That option does not force fullscreen which you might think.
Nice! impressive game for the compo!
Love the Audio art and music. It comes together perfectly! Can you beat the final boss with the helicopter equipped? Because I could not find a way to inflict damage so I had to restart the game
Hey quick tip: on itch.io use the click to launch in fullscreen option for displaying. It is usually far more pleasant. And also it does not force you to play in fullscreen.
Sounds really promising, I am looking forward to playing this. @ me if you want some playtesting or when you publish the game :)
Wow This looks amazing! Congratulations on the graphics score!
Congratulations Man!
Mother Shroom had given me one objective: to protect her. I was determined, it was my destiny. Soon Slime creatures startet showing up, but mother shroom gave me the spores to protect her. It got harder and harder, I planted spores only to see the baby shrooms getting destroyed by the slime creatures, it was horendous. Just about when I thought it was over, that I had failed, there was a slimmer of hope. Mother shroom had provided me with a new shroom spore I have never used. It emmited a poisonous cloud, that would hit many slimes at once. This was it, I needed to build an inner circle out of those. And So I started. Suddenly defending was easy again I thought I had built an invincible setup.
But I was wrong: One Slime managed to take down one of the poison cloud shrooms. It was a race now, I had to build more poison shrooms than the slimes cold destroy, all other spores became nothing but decoys to distract the slimes for a short while.
I fought and fought, but in the end they were too many. **I have failed you mother shroom, I am so sorry** 😢
Great game! , btw In the end it got very laggy with so much on the screen at once
Here is my Playthrough of the game:
I managed a perfect Speedrun in the end (41s)
https://youtu.be/I5ZKTWmKp-8
Edit: Unfortunately the video did not record my microphone so here are the main points I made:
1. I liked the feel of the Movement, it is well implemented
2. The graphics and audio are nice
3. Overall a good implementation of a classic platformer Good Job!
Sometimes enemies get stuck in the bottom right corner. I waited for an eternety for a parasite to randomly walk to the left, but he never did. I was a bit stubborn about this and in the end still had to abbort.
Overall I liked your game, but a lot of Optimizetions and Player Feedback needs to be done.
I suggest next time You playtest some more with friends and family because it is such a shame. Mechanically this could have been one of the best games without those annoyances.
Here is my Playthrough min 13 until min 37 is just me waiting for the parasites to walk to the left
https://youtu.be/KXAVtxfKGbs
Edit: Unfortunately the Microphone was not picked up in the Video so here are the main points I made during the Video:
1. Between 13 min and 37 min I started talking about random stuff like the meaning of life while waiting the parasite to move left. I also played my own game a little.
2. I liked how it simulated the actual types of virus, bacteria etc.
3. I hated the waiting at the end of stages when only a few cells and or parasites were left. I would have loved a fast forward button or a timer on enemies that they die after they have not interacted a certain time
Here is my Playthrough
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reM58GXuzmY
good job overall!
Edit: so it did not pick up my microphone. Here are the main points I made in the Video
1. This is A nice short Entry
2. The Oldschool style really gives it a good mood
3. The Audio is good, unfortunately the main music does not loop correctly
https://youtu.be/4XZ6ZDYqkSE
here is my playthrough of the game
Edit: Unfortunately the video did not pick up my microphone, so here are the main points I made.
1. This Game needs some feedback on hit detection as well as feedback on what the Items in the shop do
2. The shop is very akward to use and I once bought some cat cookies on accident while not even having the shop open
3. The Starter Gun is by far the best because you can spam click with it, I would limit the fire rate
4. I liked the Graphics and the Narrator Voice was excellent
I wanted to try to dance with boobbleheads!
Here is my Playthrough of the Game
https://youtu.be/7bcYTSzSVRk
I really liked it a lot, thanks for the sugesstion!
https://youtu.be/qpYngbDHoOw
Done with your Playthrough. Enjoy!
Thanks for suggesting your game
https://youtu.be/PZeAGlkgy5U
Dying was harder for me than surviving :D
Here is my playthorugh of your game
https://youtu.be/qgLdQN7hyKw
I had a lot of fun with this!
Here is my Playthrough
https://youtu.be/pzHqPOPVcPA
I got the world record :)
I really loved this entry one of the best so far!
I only had two minor points:
1. the spawn RNG makes it so you can get really lucky or really screwed
2. the game rewards fast clicking. you should limit the fire rate to what you get when you hold down left mouse
Unfortunately the fixed version is even more buggy than the original. The snake is somewhat influenced by the input but then also moves weirdly in some strange direction sometimes and usually in the opposite direction of what I am pressing. The graphics however are lovely and the sounds are awesome!
https://youtu.be/WLiXZ3zYOVo
Here is my Playthrough. My microphone volume is a little low.
https://youtu.be/nNZNgn0NDp8
Here Is my Playthrough enjoy :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqgxMWl--so
Unfortunately it did not record my commentary
I could not figure out how to cook the fish. I tried clicking on the fire i tried clicking on the pot but nothing ever happened :(
I liked the graphics and the audio. However, the audio could have profited from a bit more variety, the constant wind sound got annoying after a while. For the graphics only the sidewards animations were a bit wonky.
I think Diagonal movement is faster than straight line movement. You will see me moving diagonally towards the end.
I did not like the alt click interactions and would have prefered a more classical press e to interact
Unfortunately it did not pick up my microphone. (This was my first time recording something like this) So you have some uncommented gameplay :( https://youtu.be/inyLpQLUFXQ
I liked the game a lot the only negative i mentioned was that I would have liked slightly faster movement speed. I played with a gamepad!
Very relaxing experience. I really liked the artstyle and the audio. THey also fit very well together.
The gameplay was a bit repetetive tho.
Overall a beautiful entry
First of all good job for finishing your first jam game! The graphics and the Audio were really used good :)
As many have said the controls need a lot of improvement. I suggest this tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwcT-Dch0bA
Also there is a follow up video for animations.
Pretty standard platformer otherwise
Really cool Story and artstyle as well as many details. Lots of complexity for such a short time. However, the movement was soooo slow, moving from one place to another felt like a chore rather than having fun playing a game. This is very unfortunate. I would have played this a couple more times after I initially died, but for me this is unfortunately a deal braker :( Let me know If you release a post-LD version with faster movement I would very much like to play that!
@lcstark Really cool game I liked it a lot especially for a compo game.
As i have gathered from your other replies, you are not intending to do a post-LD version which is a shame. But I will therefore focus my review on what could have been done on a compo timescale.
The graphics are fine and get the job done, but they are not what this game is about. The Audio is suprisingly good since you said you have no experience with that!
The mechanics are quite complex and polished at the same time for a compo game and this is what makes this game stand out.
Here are a few Ideas of what I might have done:
I would have added more feedback in general: for hits, a little screen shake a small explosion, for picking up missing parts a little screen glow or some sparkle effects etc.
I would have added bouncing projectiles, this game needs bouncing projectiles :D
I would have added some difficulty settings because right now it was very easy.
Also a fullscreen option, (Usually just setting itch.Io to "click to launch fullscreen" does this automatically unless you are doing something with fixed pixel sizes, since this is only a modification to the hosting and not the game you could even try this now)
The enemy AI is fine for the timeframe.
Overall Well done
Cool Idea very simillar to this: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/a-tale-of-rebirthism At first I tried hard but died with 4 colonies. Then I switched to easy and won :D
Overall the game felt quite good. The Use of the Assets was really good and I liked the overall dificulty of this.
The movement mechanics were better than most games, but in a game where the movement is the main aspect you notice small stuff faster. It was a bit slow in my opinion and the wall slides/jumps felt not really good.
The Lanterns as a checkpoint were very clever!
I liked the Hand drawn Artstyle, really makes this entry stand out. I lasted for 47 days. And I think that is a good time because much longer and this would have become a little repetitive and boring. The little News Headlines are Hilarious as well. Good Job overall!
Incredible game, I think this is my favorite so far.
I am happy that I found this before the jam is over.
Took me three tries to win (or loose? :D).
Incredible graphics sound and suprisingly complex for a jam game but still quite polished.
The only thing I do not agree with is the "zoom in" on the upgrade menus. I want to still see if I am getting attacked while I upgrade stuff. But if I zoom out the windows are too small
@frostbyte4k go and rate some other games and leave them some feedback. This will cause your game to be shown on the front page so you will get more ratings!
Really Cool Game, As you said with the scope of the game came missing polish, just as for my game :D
The Post LD version already feels a lot better. It just needs even more polish. Progress bars for the quests, an indicator of where to find home because you can get lost easily, What are the actual huts doing and so on.
Just in general a lot more feedback so you can feel what you are doing.
Final verdict: Would die to a cow the size of 2 Mountains again xD
One of my favorite Compo Games so far. I got a highscore of 91 don't know if that is much or little :D
I really enjoyed the sound effects. The Graphics are simplistic but charming.
If there is one thing that I would have changed it would be the rng. I would have used a bag system instead of plain rng. (Check this if you don't know what I mean: https://gamedevelopment.tutsplus.com/tutorials/shuffle-bags-making-random-feel-more-random--gamedev-1249)
"Make the game less random to make it feel more random"
Really nice job on the Post Jam version, It is not much different but it feels so much better because of how polished it is. Good Job!
The two things I would add next are coin sound effects and pathfinding for the old man :) Then maybe add some new shiny armor for the coins :D
Most things have been said already and I don't want to repeat everything so here are two things I found that were not mentioned:
- Diagonal move speed is faster than straight line. There are some good tutorials online on how to fix this. like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whzomFgjT50 Watch until 9 minutes afterwards he does animations.
- Spamming mouse1 makes fights now way too easy in the post LD version, I liked the lure out and finish the enemies strategy you needed for original version. I would add a cooldown on how often you can click.
I managed to nearly off screen my fish so he was out of the way of all predators and I could farm infinite High score.
Playing this normally however is quite challenging. This also is programmer art at its best!
One thing: I would have disabled collisions on the food pallets. If they get stuck on a predator your fish will steer right into the predator, which is not much fun.
I instantly knew this was inspired by the BBC Earth Documentation when I saw the picture.
This game needs one thing: David Attenborough Comentary.
"A near miracoulus Escape" once you get to the water.
Or the opening statement "The snakes eyes aren't really good, so if the hatchling stays still it might avoid detection" could be the tutorial for this game.
I don't know if you were worried about coppyright, but I think that would have fallen under fair use. (I'm no lawyer tho)
The gameplay was quite cool, but short. And I would have loved if you included some gameplay from the "escape the snake coiling" part.
The game was fun to play, it got really close for me in the end but I did it, I found the mammoth. I really liked the gameplay. The game would have profited a lot from some mor work on the graphics. Like actually showing the camp, the fire the drill etc. Or even just something more than white boxes for the names. Might be something to work on in the future :) But nice take on the theme and good job in general!
This was a lot of fun! The esc key was not the best choice as it is the same key for escaping the full screen in chrome. Meaning you would always have to hit it twice and then re-maximize the window.
The puzzles were not too easy but also not too hard. I would love an update with a few very hard levels. @ me if you ever release one. The new hand drawn concept art looks also absolutely beautiful :)
really neat, The shooter gameplay felt quite good. If I had to be picky about something I would say the movement felt a bit slow and unresponsive, but that is cherry picking.
I loved the cinematics and how the opponents actually moved like the chess pieces. Overall it felt verry good to play!

5/5 on Theme, hope you get through it :)
Hilarious game with a not so Hilarious background, at least I saved the virtual ones :) Really polished, you even thought about a sensitivity slider, that was perfekt. Also the audio and Graohics were really nice
Tbh I expected like 2 even harder levels after everyone said how dificult it was, i found it not too hard (I died once) :/ Beat it.png The text was very slow, which I did not enjoy. Other than that good job I liked playing it :)
penguin_Space_Program.png I found the gameplay slightly dull so I went to go for a penguin Space program instead. I really like the art, it is very well done. Unfortunately the animations stopped working after a while. Overall a cute little entry
Yeah many 5 stars from me as Well what a good job. When I died on wave 16 it told me I had just spend over half an hour on this and I did't even notice. That basically says everything. Charming art addictive gameplay and good audio. Well done
Felt verry good to play, like many others I came to like the fast movement Speed. The art was amazing however the music only played every second level and did not loop properly, maybe you can fix that.
Two small things I would change: limit the fire rate and the range of your fireballs because I was just constantly spamming left mouse to kill most enemies before I even saw them :D.
This would also be fun to speedrun as well maybe I'll give that a try later :)
Great game many 5stars from me.
I don't know so much about the theme. Yes the fish die if you don't feed them but its a bit of a stretch :D
Art and audio are absolutely stunning for a Jam game good job.
Very nice platformer. Graphics and audio are nice. The rythm sectuins could have been a little clearer maybe play the correct rythm once when you enter the room? i found it hard matching the expexted rythm from just the visual indications but figured them out eventually. Also i dont mind some hard jumps, but for my taste some of the jumos set you back way too much if you missed them.
@miklo you completeky missed the best part of the game then. Please play it again and get the 600 coin item it's a must, will make you reevaluate the game ;)
@ohfiddlediddle I can see how this can be a problem, maybe consider giving the players a few more coins so they can experiece the 600 coin upgrade, without waiting.
The QR code was cute :)
But I was promised hot singles in my area and couldn't find any :(
5/5 on Humor
This game is fishy, but only literally, because this is amazing work!! One of my favorites so far i got a highscore of 65. Nice Art nice sounds and the controlls feel good.
quick tip: on itch.io set the Embed options to "click to launch in fullscreen" to make the fullscreen work better for everyone.
tip for everyone in the current verion: if you want to play fullscreen, wait for the game to load then hit the blue arrows and not the transparent white ones that are overlayed.
plant.jpg 46 highscore :)
Loved the arstyle and the sound. Feeding felt verry satisfying. Only the release was a bit tight i would have made it more forgiving.
Usually people tend to make very shallow but well polished games during the game jams. This is quite a deep game with lots of mechanics for such a short time, but on the downside it is missing some polish (This is a tradeoff, I don't nescessarily see this as a bad thing).
I myself usually do more cool mechanics for the cost of polish.
Playing something slightly more complex was a welcoming change. I hat quite some fun trying all the different characters. Right now the gold is useless, after the first wave I had enough gold to unlock everything, so the way to unlock was just by doing the challenges.
Here are some quality of life improvements i would suggest:
- Figuring out what an ability does right now is pretty much learning by doing maybe have the range indicatros already lit up when you hover over the ability and maybe add a short description of the abilities in the party tab?
- Figuring our what the enemies do is even more difficult. Maybe have a little enemy wiki even just in text form in the game description. I just sometimes suddenly see poison and then one of my characters dies and I don'T even know which enemy did it.
-Drag and drop for placing would be nice and much more intuitive (But if you do a lot of mechanics you usually don't have time for stuff like that) Also there are a few bugs. E.g. Once some poison effects were already on the board when it loaded.
Overall A great game with a lot of potential for Post LD versions
Nice take on the theme. The jumping felt good and responsive, which is always the most important thing. There were a few jumps where it felt like you needed to half clip through a platform tho. The Sound got a bit boring after a while, I would have liked some music and some constant fire rustling effect. I would have liked a Hard mode where water kills you instantly. Also sometimes i managed to double jump, i think that is a bug?
I see, that game meachanics is good, but in my opinion it is cruel and bad to create game about killing saint people.
I don't know if this was on purpose for the old school feel, but the movement felt really slow and unresponsive. Other than that I liked the game a lot. Three levels with one boss fight in only three days, good job you guys. Only it was a bit easy for my feel.
This is too much for my Brain at 5 am :D
Faze was my absolute Favorite last Year, my eexpectations are high for this one :)
Hey man,
you did not create the grass, trees, ground textures flowers etc. These are all standard assets that come with gaia.
I don't think you were trying "fool" anyone, I just think you are unaware that you have to opt out of the graphic section if you did not create the assets yourself. Same goes probably for the audio.
Please still opt out, you still have the option on your game page. It is unfair to all the creators that spend their time creating assets. I myself used premade assets (some of which are the same as yours, that's how i know for sure), which is why I opted out of said categories.
Haha I can't believe you and that other guy had the exact same Idea :D The movement is very clunky, but generally the game is quite easy. The Narration is top notch tho :D
I played the web version first, had no idea what i was doing, went instantly for president and spend all money. So I wanted to restart but no matter how often i reloaded i got the black screen with sound that others have reported. So I got the windows version.
Overall fun concept that could use some polishing. I feel there should be some more feedback, like current polls on the outcome of the election. I went for major run many local ads had over 75% popularity and ended third, I have no idea what i should have done different...
This game misses an end goal. I just kept creating more and more rockets hoping for something to happen...
The graphics were cute and the audio fits very well.
Nice Reminded me of Orcs Must Die with the mix of tower defence and shooter. Amazing that you managed to do all those models, animations and gameplay wihtin 48 hours. The controlls felt a bit clunky, but that is understandable considering the time constraints and the amount of mechanics you implemented within that time. Good Job :)
Very cool entry. Glad you got the bugs figured out. The graphics are really cool and the Audio is amazing. One thing I would change is to give the player a maximum ammount of resources they can carry from island to island, because I was able to delay the food collection and could farm a lot of the other resources before taking of. I managed to leave the first Island with nearly 500 wood and 27 extra workers (that don't even consume food anymore on the new Island) Also you can't die from food on the island it just goes negative. Generally the gameplay is hardly challanging at all. So really solid basis, but the gameplay needs some polish.
Seemingly no one online :( I found one battle in the beginning, but nothing more... You should include a single player in LD games.. Ships with randomly selected guns would have been enough The visuals look good, I like all the different gun options. Also does this have audio? I did not get any audio
Congratulations on finishing a game for the game Jam. Keep making games and watch tutorials to improve! Maybe find someone to work with together. Your Ideas are good and with a bit more experience i am sure you could create some really good games :)
Cute graphics and nice gameplay. There are a few things I would adjust:
1. When you try to change the tree type while you are in a position where you can plant, you will plant the currently selected tree before switching over. I would suggest you check if one of the tree buttons is pressed and if so don't plant the tree. Alternatively only plant trees when the mouse is above the groundplane. 2. New patches of grass grow too slow. Even with multiple trees of live you can not replant fast enough against the bulldozers. I was accumalating a lot of water but had no way of spending it fast enough against the bulldozers Overall a very good entry, well done
As a Chess player I love it. But it is very easy to win every time (If the ai does not do a stupid perpetual) i'd like to see a challange mode where you get less pieces or something
More of a Tech demo of a much bigger game to come 😄
As so many say the general presentation of the game is beautiful, and the general mechanics work well. In my first try all my buildings spawned on the very left and I had basically no chance defending them (I thought that was bad level design until i found out on the second try that i was just super unlucky). I think either you should pre-place them or constrain the random placement so that it is not unfair.
I would love to see this develop in a direction with deck building aspects, similar to slay the spire.
I tried myself on a card game last time, made it kinda too complicated. You kept it simple for such a short time. Good Job on that. The graphics are better than mine last year but still nothing award winning :D The audio was great. I got a clean 3:0 victory 😎
I kept trading with the old lady while the bratty kid always traded with the familliar plumber xD
Felt like CS:GO surf on steroids. It was quite fun but also buggy, most of them were gone after jumping pr moving, sometimes I had to die and once i had to restart the game. (Some of many examples: i once jumped and never stopped jumping until everything disappeared below me, the audio never started playing the first time,i got stuck on some slopes and could move only super slow).
The movement needs some fine tuning and I would suggest an option for mouse sensitivity, but overall it feels very cool to surf those doors.
The checkpoints were also placed very fair. If I died due to a bug or my own stupidity I would never loose too much. Also the bossfight was much fun.
Would love some multiplayer shooter action with this movement, but I know how hard that is to implement.
Hmm as others said the visuals were stunning, exept for the very white background. The platforming felt a bit unresponsive, i would have liked some higher movement and fall speed.
The first time I lost my hat I actually respawed as just a hat and thought I had to find the wizzard, but i think it was only a visual bug :D Would be a cool game mechanic tho.
Maybe you could also try to find a complimenting team for the next jam, so you can work to your strenghts :)
I think i upgraded attackspeed 4 times and movement speed twice to win with 1hp :D The game feels really cool reminds me of some old flash games I used to play as a kid (ON that note why no webgl? :( ). Unfortunately it is very short. The graphics are nice and the audio is spot on.
I love the mood and the artstyle good job on that. I also quite like the general gameplay Idea, but this part needs a lot of polish 1. Minions Bosses and even the character sometimes glitch through walls etc. 2. It gets super laggy with many minions (I guess write one script to controll all minions and not a script for each minion in unity could help here). 3. The RNG in this game is terrible. Sometimes there is no reachable portal room. (once I only had the three neighbouring rooms with none of them having furtner connections). Sometimes every neighbouring room spamms enemies while you have not a single minion. Sometimes you get like 10 minions in the beginning and the enemies are not even a challange at all.
You really have to rewrite that random generation algorithm. Place only easy rooms right next to the player where he can find like 1-2 minions and 0-1 enemies. an make the rooms harder as you get further away from the start. also only generate rooms which have further connections until you have generated the portal room.
This game has a lot of potential and I would like to hear about an update if if you adressed the points I mentioned.
Was very glitchy for me overall. I even ended out of bounce once (see screnshot). In the room on the screenshot I tried to roll into the corner to get the enemies into the pit and rolled right through it. The puzzles were short and easy to understand. The graphics were a bit too simplistic for my taste. but you opted out of that anyway. Overall solid game. Ld45 - Swordmaster Windows Build Screenshot 2019.10.12 - 19.21.17.61.png
I got a highscore of 304. I lost quite fast in the end after 280 or something my concentration really dropped :D
It requires a lot of Hand eye coordination:)
The art is beautiful. I love the moving clouds in the background, makes the whole game feel a lot more alive.
I especially like that there is always a way to catch the tomato without taking even if a rock is falling in the same position. You can always either grab the tomato before the rock fell or after due to the fast speed of the rocks. I don't know if that was designed deliberately, if yes that was very thoughtful.
Very cool Idea and great interpretation of the theme. I suggested quite a few new elements. I hope some people can find them :) Find the Burned Steak!
Church Lootboxes :D I really like this game. So many paths, so many different lives. Really cool artstyle. Incredibly polished for a LD game. Not much to criticize really. I like how it captures the darkness of the middle ages while still staying humorous. Good job
@guitarbro did you kill the chicken and pigs with the staff to then resurect them?
I liked the voxel style graphics, they are very well executed. But I don't really like the background grass texture. I think you could have put a bit more work into that, but overall its very good looking.
The general game play mechanics are working very well and as many others I would like to see a bigger version of this.
Have you considered a two player vs and coop mode for the future? I'd be the first to buy a Post LD version of this game with multiplayer :)
Overall well done :)
First of all, congratulations to your first LD entry. If you managed to finish a game in that short of a time, you have already archived a lot in my oppinion. The art is programmer art as it goes, but it works. Overall the game was quite well designed with a nice little story that I enjoyed. Now to some more constructive feedback I feel the maze in the garden was pointless, since it was more of a twisted path, which means the only thing it did was making the walk longer and walking in a game is not som much fun most of the time. I would suggest either making it an actual maze with some wrong turns or making the path to the key straight. I found that the hitboxes for the switches on the barrels where a bit too large, I often accedentaly hit two switches at the same time. And finally other than @scott-redrup I don't think the map was too big, I feel the view should have been zoomed out a little more, to figure out better where you are going.
Nice short platformer with precice jumps. It was very short even for a LD game, but I prefer that when the game and especially the movement mechanics are polished like that. I found the path was pretty obvious, but maybe I have just played too many similar games. (Your missdirections were not working on me muhaha).
Your game works very well. I guess the biggest complaint I have is that it feels just like every other platformer. There is nothing new or special about it.
Since this was your first LD i think you learned quite a lot and the next time you can make more levels and try some more innovative mechanics :)
Computational Physicist here. And for that I have to subtract points for scientific inaccuracy :D
Just kidding. But the antiverse ending "you created something totally different". Actually you would not be able to tell that it is different as antimatter behaves exactly like normal matter :D
I got the Universe antdthe Antiverse and the boring ending. I also once got a big amount of matter on the right side of the screen and a big amount of antimatter on the left. Unfortunately that also counted as boring even though it was the biggest amount of total mass i managed to contain.
All in all a funny shortlived concept. That was fun to play
basic attacks are rock paper scissor lizard spock and advanced are normal rock paper scissor? Cool :) quite a funny game you made there :)
I have no idea whats going on. Every card I place just gets attacked and dies, no difference in the cards whatsoever. If I place the cards alway away from the zombies I also never die, cause I can play more then they can destroy. So basically nothing ever really happens... Idk if this is supposed to be a funny take on the theme, that you can actually do nothing usefull at all. But then you have humor disabled. I really like the graphics and mood tho
Cool short game. The art is quite nice. I would have loved some indicators which direction the closest food piece ist. Because searching for them and not knowing the direction is more frustrating than fun. Overall good job:)
Idea is pretty cool. But you need to find a way to make use of the jumping mechanic, right now it is pretty useless and just spamming left mouse click wins every time.
Edit: you also seem to be new here, so first of all congratulations on your first entry. If you want more people to play your game, you have to play other people's games. The more games you play the higher up your game will be shown on the games page ;)
The Jump button only worked for me one out of 3 times or somtething, which made it incredibly frustrating. Since I could not really experience the game I wont rate you on overall and fun. The Interpretation of the theme was very unique, I quite liked it. Also overall the visuals and audio was nice
Well designed Puzzle game, very nice how you introduced the mechanics self explanatory step by step. One suggestion: make the cubes in the UI rotate with the view. It is quite confusing which block points into which direction. I would have loved a few more challenging levels. I loved the graphics, very clean and nice.
Wow literally the only complaint I have is that it was so short. Which I cant blame you for since this was a game Jam. I want more!
I love the way you introduced the mechanics, it was very intuitive, also the movement felt incredibly polished. Also also you included an Indicator of where to go! I don't know how often I have commented under similar games that something like that makes a game a lot less tideous.
The graphics are incredibly clean and nice, which is extra impressive for such a short time and the audio was very good as well. I don't know what to say other than I hope you win this ludum dare! (I haven't seen all submissions of course but this one is the best by a landslide!) 5/5 on everything except humor, you should have opted out of that.
For me it accepts the space input for jumping only like 1 out of 100 times pressing it. I checked if something is wrong with my spacebar, but it's still working perfectly fine... I could not really play like that.. so If you find a fix to this please tag me
I really liked how responsive the controlls felt. Also the interpretation of the theme is quite unique. The general gameplay works. But i found it tedious to look for the last energy ball or activator thing when I missed one. I would sugest adding some extra so you don't have to look so much in the end. Other than that I realyy enjoyed playing. Good Job :)
Edit. I also really liked the simplistic art. Way to turn time constaints into a strength of the game ;)
Really cool game :) Movement felt a bit clunky, I would prefer a higher rotation speed. There is a way to farm infinite points by placing yourself infront of one of the big robots and killing every small one it spawns after you clear the rest of the wave. Graphics audio and gerneral gameplay are top notch tho. The theme was not really there but that's a fair tradeoff for such a good game :)
Very Cool and creative interpretation of the Theme. Good Job. I did not like the rng when the corners where reshuffled every shot. I would have had a highscore of 3 but the last shot was impossible because the corner got removed. so I got a 4 instead... Better make them fixed once they appear.
Wow Hit and run +potions is the winning tactic all the way :D The levels were hard at first. But once you figured out how to inch forward to not trigger multiple enemies at once and using hit and run from there, made it nearly too easy. So balancing is needed, but that is expected from an LD game :) Many people had a similar interpretation of the theme as you guys, but I love how you introduced it in the game, makeing this extra intro scene really makes it stand out from those simmilar interpretations. Good job.
Wow very cute graphics and the best audio I've seen up to this point. Gameplay Idea was cool, but getting repetitive after a little while. Good job overall
Really cool Idea. I have two sugggestions. 1. Endless mode: your score is counted in pawns (pawn1 bishop/knight3 rook5 queen9) so you can go for a highscore. 2. Hard mode: you loose if you make an illegal chess move. You'd have to find a way to deal with the queen tho. like making her move on her own next to you sometimes, or having hardmode only for endless and simply accept that you can never capture the queen. (In that case hard mode might actually be decent training for ultra bullet chess)
Also please play and rate some games yourself. This comunity relies on everyone doing their part :)
Yes another clicker game! I don't know how many I have seen this LD. I mus admit that I had that Idea as well, because it's a straight forward interpretation of the theme. But I decided for something else. But there should really be some sort of auto click. clicking for a total of 350 times for the wallpaper in the end is just not fun anymore... I liked the Audio :)
Wow these aliens on the planets are worse at managing their resources than us humans :D They always waste everything. Can't you teach them sustainability lol :D
Had Fun Playing this for a while. I managed to keep two planets alive for a long time then I got bored. Some end to the game would be cool
Very cool, What I enjoyed most was smashing Minotaurs into each other. I would have liked it more with continuous movement instead of tile based, I think. But that's just a personal preference. The levels were nicely designed. And the art is lovely. Good Job overall
Really cool interpretation of the theme. Why do the speechbubbles have hitboxes? W and A are not working so I had to maneuver with the arrow keys. I also would have liked some more hints. The trial and error was a bit frustrating. But I love the noises the characters make and also the art is lovely :)
Cool idea, but I'd like to have an indicator where the enemies are. Searching the map is not much fun at all
song 1:722
song 2:630
and i got to tired to try song 3 Generally it is very minimalistic, which is not necessarily bad, but that makes it very repetetive in this case.
Haha Lol randomly mapped controlls. That was crazy. I liked the neon effects :D
Wow quite a big team you have there. And it shows. The graphics are amazing. The controlls are all over the place though, so it is hard to play. This game needs a post LD version with fixed controls
Awsome artsyle and atmosphere. The game mechanics work really good as well. With a bit of a story and some more mechanics I can see this beeing a great game outside the LD bubble as well. Good job
Great fighting mechanics. I dod not find it hard to understand at all. In the end is there no win screen? I just got fight after fight after fight in the end. I felt I should have gotten a win screen once I could found my dojo. There are some balance issues, the mages do like nothing and the warriors are overpowerd with insane damage and HP. I also had some bugs where members from my party got deleted over and over again. I won and after I won I had one less character in my party. So I had to do the same fight again and again. after like 3 times i could finally add a new member. I loved the graphics. That was adorable. Such great work for so few days Good Job.
Very cool once you get your initial few workers it is ok. But geting the first workers is hard
Very moody I liked that. But it was soo short... Would love to play a post LD longer version
Wow very innovative, takes a lot of hand eye coordination to do well.
Very nice. On top of the suggestions of @wolfrug I suggest you decouple the respawn placement from the learn new mechanics placement. So you can spread them more evenly
Haha what a cute little game. really awesome artstyle. I can offer you to write a basic AI for your game if you want to, so people can play single player. :)
Puh i got so many fish that the waves nearly never reached the screen so i nearly never got new sand. But I found out that i could collect sand from outside the actual game window on the left. Then I won quite easily. Solid simple game
The game is really cool. I love the concept the athmosphere the artstyle and the audio. But for me it also was a little frustrating. I always die due to starvation. I choose all the options for starvation not to come up, but then it comes up as the next event anyway. I don't know if there is always a chance of starvation apearing and I'm just very unlucky or if it's bugged. I also try to collect food and enlightment to be able to beat starvation but then it comes up two or three times and I'm out of resources :(
Haha great little game. How do you even come up with that? :D
I gave up early. You'll see my message ;)
Yeah I won :) Great audio and Mood but I don't really see the connection to the theme
Nice game. It would be nice to know how the different ehhm goods influence the attention level and how much reducing attention generation actually helps.
I liked the Idea. But as others said it is not really clear what to do. I also have to press each button roughly 10 times before the game accepts the input. I plantet two trees then ran out of oxygen. The graphics are very simplistic, but I like the audio it is very fitting.
really nice game. the concept is great. I had a lot of fun playing. That said there were some frustrating things. 1. it was really hard to see who is higher so often i rammed into some triangle thinking i was on top only to be confused about why i lost health. 2. you just brought one opponent down to very little health and there spawns a new opponent right next to him stealing your kill.
My suggestions are: 1.give some indicator around enemies that are above and below you, like a green and red outline. 2.give the kill to the one who did the most damage. Otherwise good job
Got something with 9000. As others said the hitboxes are a bit too unforgiving. And sometimes collecting a carpart counted as a hit and did not give me a part...
Kinda Funny, And perfect take on the theme :) Altough I want peanuts now
Nice Idea, I went pen and paper all the way after I failed the first time due to errors. Automated it got it to some subfraction of a second and saw the money coming in. Clicker games are kind of addictive, although this one needs some poish and balancing :)
Hmm The game is very short and easy. I just spammed the fire ball and mana potions. The gerneral concept works good, but the game needs balancing for sure.
I liked the logic puzzles. The comnbat was very simple and not challenging, but I don't think it was supposed to be. So all in all a nice short game :)
Ok this has potential, but as it is right now there are some issues. 1. the controls feel clunky. I would either increase the dropdown speed or add a swim down function to the "s" key. 2. the hitboxes of the junk are off. I often die while the junk is clearly still away from the turtle. Also why do I die if a straw hits the back of my shell? Turtle shells are hard. At least for some of the items i would not count hits to the shell as kills. 3. RNG sometimes gives you impossible configurations where there is a hook on top and fishes and Junk create an inpenetrable wall. Rework the placement of the Junk to make sure such configurations don't happen. 4. The Star ammo has no skill attatched to is as it is. Since there is a timer on it and not an ammount you just spam shoot as soon as you get it. I would not limit it by time but by uses.
Other than that adorable art and nice game.
HTML5 Crashes all the time. So I went to the Windows Build. I set it to normal played for over half an hour and got a score of 150 million than it crashed... i wanted that highscore :( it would have been 50x the previous one. I got the "No way" highscore afterwards instead
edit: if anyone beats my no way highscore tag me I want it back
Great game really awesome. I had to restrain myself to not watch the stream while I was working on my own submission. 102 Was my score :) My strategy: I gave the gronkas only Hp upgrades (got them offered every time) and hoped to get enough range damage on my Flubbies to negate that. At the peak I had like 20-30 nearly fully upfraged Flubbies :)
Will smith was here
Nice I also made a god created the world game :P
@jakemchugh1 Same problem as everyone here. Won't start... I hope you find a solution. Pls Tag me if you do this looks really promising
BIG MONEY I GOT BIG MONEY NICE
Increadible game, One of my favourites so far.
Really cool Game. @mimusangel I thought exactly the same. As so many here I loved the atmosphere with the music and the audio. If the controls felt a bit more smooth this would have been my favourite so far. Still one of the best
Haha of course I did not read the instructions. Then I saw i win if I build the statue. So I build like 20 houses farmed up to level 15 super quick and won. Great game, nice aesthetics. But the audio was a bit annoying.
Cool Idea. But it was kind of hard to figure out what to do. A few indicators would have helped a lot. Also I don't really like that type of artstyle. But since that is not your fault I won't grade you for graphics. But Solid game overall :)
Wow what a fun game, good job :) The Ai could be a bit improved and I think you could place some obstacles to make shooting less overpowered. But I enjoyed the game as it is already
Kind of addicting :D I love the general gameplay loop, but with the rng it is sometimes impossible to win. I enjoyed the asthetics, but i found the audio quite annoying
I like the game design. The Artstyle is alo really nicely done. Could have used some anti aliasing too make it look even nicer. I had a lot of problems with the controlls tho. I had to press tab and controll at least 20 times before the merge or split happened...
Interesting mechanic. Would be awesome with twin stick contoller support. Graphics are ok for a solo project. The weaopn building is not instantly intuitive, I would love a short section where you can try out all the types in the beginning, but you probably did not have time for that.
Game feel and plays great. The graphics are really nice. For some reason I could not build mines, so I never got metal tho... It said building cant be placed here for every place and with every character i had...
Hmm I used the Android version and my game crashed shortly before I won. Frustrating... Generally I like the gameplay and the artstyle. One thing I think you can improve on is to make the choices tougher. Way too often the best choice is very clear.
Nice Idea, but very shallow gameplay. Very easy in the beginning you refill your lives instantly (so the start with one is kind of useless). It stay easy till like 1:25 when it gets super hard and you lose in the next 15 seconds.
I had the same problem as @starblast the first time, but the room worked the second time, when i first went the other way. I really like the art style, gives the game a nice mood together with the sound. I'm not really a fan of the combat. It's innovative yes, but at first it feels clunky and when you got used to spamming h i t in the correct order it gets super easy.
Overall I think your game is verry innovative and well done. Since we also developed a board/card game, I can see that you have a lot of the same issues. It is a bit overwhelming in the beginning with all the mechanics and you should focus on giving more feedback to every action that happens. I also think i encounterd a bug, because sometimes my handcards were randomly dissapearing, but I could not reproduce it reliably. Overall good job and well done especially for the limited time :)
rly.png Found an infinite live exploit. Jump over the first brickwall offscreen use two boxes and a key to unlock the chest and kill yourself on the spikes. Gives you 10 lifes costs you 9 xD. Farmed my lives to 40 as a proof of concept :) Great game!!
Nice game I really enyojed playing :) I loved the Audio first game I rated 5star in that so far ;) A couple things, I personally did not like: 1.The walking speed felt verry slow imo. I'd have made it faster with maybe less of a timer. 2. The old people stopping you even if you made sure to keep quite a distance. I would have reduced the trigger distance of that. But those are personal choices more than anything
hey I can't play the web version, did you take it down by accident?
Nice game I love it :) Can you ajust the scroll speed on the buy menu? I found it way too slow
Hey please package the whole folder containing your .exe file into a zip and upload that. The .exe alone is not enough to play your game. Pls Tag me when you did that the game sounds interesting
I'd love to try it but the website is chinese and if i press the button that i think is the download I download some chinese software instead of the folder with your game. Please upload it to itch.io google drive or something else
Nice, only I would have apreciated if you could skip the first couple levels after the first time. This would have made it less tedious getting to the challanging part
The game is quite challanging, mostly in a fun way but if one of this superfast purple thigs spawns basically directly on top of you, that is not much fun :( Other than that I really like the way you guys used the theme :)
To all the speedrunners out there: He runs faster while rotating. 5/5 Hair animation, should be a category
Nice Concept, reminds me of Deism. Controlls are verrsy clunky tho.
Neat little game, I especially like that you have not dragged it out too long :) The different guns are cool, I maybe would have added ammo too the game so you cant just spam the best gun the whole time
hi does this game have an end? i think i am far enough that i could survive forever now :D generally great mood nice gameplay and quite challanging in the start. As soon as you have a row of walls with canons it is very easy tho. And a small bug i noticed: When you try to upgrade something and the position of the upgrade button is on top of another canon it upgrades the other canon instead. Overall I really enjoyed the experience :)
Wow really good game, nice take on the theme and overall very polished. I beat it on the second try after realizing it is wise to not spend a lot of life since it keeps adding up then. Score was 605 :)
Haha did you one of you do all the sound effects with a microphone? I love it
Stopped after i got eight times my money :) News are not working aparently. Fun Take on the Theme anyway
This is Extremly beautiful and also a very nice take on the Theme. I had a lot of fun playing one round, but i think it is a bit too repetetive to play more. Overall very nice
Really cool. I had a lot of fun. Only downside is that it is not always obvious which areas you are not supposed to be. EG in the first scene on the right of the level i drove up the ramp and then dropped into the tunnel only to never make it out again :D
Retired age 53 with kids, nice. One of the best I've tried so far
Right now this is very hard to play with a lot of bugs like the prevois mentioned clipping issues and so on. I'd love to play a ploished version of this tho
Great game. Collected a few too many speedpotions at once and crossed half the map in a second. I'd have loved if it was a bit more challanging tho
The game mechanic is verry inovative and fitting for the theme. Hoever the game is too slow paced in my opinion. I killed everything a second after it entered the screen
Nice Game. In my oppinion you should not be able to hit your opponents life points directly if there are still cards on the board, because only focussiong on your opponents life points always wins you the game (at least 5/5 times for me)
Zip up the whole folder containing the exe and upload it that way instead of just the .exe :)
Hillarious, I had a blast playing this

What a fun game!

Only could be a bit more challenging, especially as it goes on. Initially one has to think at least a little bit, later it gets more boring. Still played to round 100, so its still adicting ;D

Increadible interpretation of the theme. And just as increadible execution!
Wow! My favorite entry so far. Managed to beat level one after a while. Think I have enough impressions to rate the game. For now I have to go on to play and rate other games to get my own 20 ratings, but once that is crossed I intend to come back to try beating also the other levels. (How many are there?) If the levels are equal in length I was almost as far into level 2 as level 1 was long i think.

Solid entry. A few more hints on what command works would be nice. Or a similarity search with semantic embedding or similar to match every word to the closest command.
But really cool interpretation of the theme!
Also on my monitor it was a lot darker than in the screenshots. Maybe have a brightness slider so that one can adjust it, because I am sure it had just the right amount of darkness on your monitor!

Nice Vibe and nice interpretation of low tech!
little low on content, and I would have liked to at least see my final time when I win :)

good job on the theme, nice Idea!
