I like how the graphics look like something out of a school whiteboard or something. Its all very thematically cohesive. Audio is hilarious and so is the premise, the gameplay just leaves something to be desired. it gets repetitive VERY quickly
Very simple, short little game but I enjoyed it. I think its really cool how you took a 2d concept and brought it into 3d. I think the 3d version is better. The animations are really good for the amount of time you had and the whole thing fits the theme well.
Awesome 3d graphics and really humorous game but not 'fun' in the traditional sense. I couldn't find a way to lose either, I just got more and more dizzy when I failed. Also, what was with the floating cube? It Kept getting in the way. But besides that, this game fits the theme better than most, so great job with that.
Mesmerizing game for sure, but then you knock out of it and youre like "wow i just spent half an hour throwing numbered balls at each other"
I couldn't survive for very long because my cards kept getting glitched. But the fact that you even made a card game for a game jam is awesome. Not just that, its a fun one, when it works. Some people have said it doesn't match the theme but i have to disagree. When i play a card game its inevitable that I lose.
version labeled for windows seems to be for web hosting not sure if that was on purpose
I do hope you keep working on this game, since it could use some love past the timespan of a game jam. The premise of having to cast spells to stay alive has a lot of potential, but as some other users have said, it lacks any depth when there are no targets to use spells on. Besides that I have to say the graphics and sound design are a step up from most in this game jam.
the windows version seems to be for mac
I played this version and the first one briefly so that I could compare. You've definitely come a long way, especially in terms of what you could pull off with graphics. I'm not a big fan of puzzle games, but this one held my interest. It probably would've been better suited in the Extra category, though.
Good but Not as good as blant 🤣 😂 😅
The character controller feels very much like you're riding a snowboard, so good job with it, it was definitely worth that time investment. Its a very important skill to be able to prioritize whats important in a project with a short time. Yeah there could be more features potentially but the gameplay is solid even though im terrible at it.
I think I did everything? First I Cleaned the room and made the pie, but then I remembered the theme and thought I did something wrong. Then I went on a rampage and killed the cat, kill the grandma. Its pretty funny how morally opposite those things are. Good submission
Really cool game, or story. Sam seems very friendly and the logic behind the pong game I imagine was fun to code. AI and the inevitability of the singularity was an interesting approach to take. I also like that you included multiple control options. All in all great work!
@adroitconceptions took off the age gate thanks for the heads up about that
@chaoseiro yes you can lead the snakes and even trick them into hitting walls although if they come across another pellet which is closer or you get too far away they will lose interest
@andidebob yes, i had to do many tweaks last minute so that the pathfinding AI didn't struggle. When you remove all pellets and play on the big map every snake is at its maximum pathfinding distance so the calculations slow the game down. Given more time I wouldve centralized the AI rather than put one on every individual snake, its very resource intensive i learnt.
@circle you hit the nail on the head with all that, most of your tips i ended up doing in the last minute- wouldve been nice to have all those tips written out at the start of the jam lol! ya thanks cheers mate
@ausstein holy crap bro
@wouter52 Yeah i played it myself on my banjo
@charq @gabriel-dias-oliveira-de-almeida thanks for playing on your streams!!!
Game is relatable, and well designed. Gameplay is good, and sound design is also good. Some of the sprites look a little wonky, but it comes off as charming. Great submission, definitely one of the best I've played so far.
I beat the game. I was surprised, you managed to put a lot in this game. I was so sad when *spoilers* Lancelot and Arthur die.
Between this and 5 more minutes, I think these games have the best application of the theme. But this one has better graphics whereas that game has better audio. Thats my only critique really is that the audio design left something to be desired. My patient died to the hitman coming in when i thought he was the doctor. Is that how he thanks me after saving him from the meteor strike? Oh well!
I am be a bomb, but so is this game.
Every aspect of this game is well balanced, the graphics, audio, application of the theme. It all fits together very nicely. Obviously you have a talent in terms of planning and organizing a project. That being said, nothing really stuck out in this game that made it feel special. Just killing generic crystal enemies as a generic crystal figure, its missing a certain charm that I think it could have had if you used a little more imagination with the character design. Great submission for a game jam though, and I enjoyed the few minutes I spent playing!
Everything seems very planned out, and polished. The idea of working in an office that decides when people die is innovative and funny. The voice over does a good job of explaining what to do, and you have a lot of resources to help explain the rules of the game, but despite that, I still struggled with figuring out what to do. That took a little from my enjoyment of the game but once I figured it out I had a good time with it! Good work
Its a shame that it abruptly ends, its quite original and I wanted to keep playing The UI is a bit confusing when you consider that your only options really are buy and sell. I think for future projects you should try and prioritize better what goes into the final product. The social media stuff adds almost nothing to the gameplay or mood. The humor though... on point. I'd watch a crypto mockumentary with you as the director.
This game is really funny to me for some reason, i think its the nihilism of it all. I could see it being expanded out to be a great game. Would be nice if there was some more audio though.
While the gameplay seems unpolished on first glance there is actually a lot here that is done and done well. I think perhaps the scope of the game was too large. I couldn't figure out a way to get ammo for the other guns and there are a ton of glitches. For your first submission its really good and bonus points for pausing the music when the game is paused!
I can tell this game was made by a dreamer cause its so imaginative and wonderful, a short game but deep in lore and worldbuilding. Like others have said, the GUI and game itself are not intuitive but the core gameplay loop of going to different planets and fighting monsters along the way is itself engaging, and even though I didn't know what I was buying or harvesting half the time, I still had fun doing it. By the way, if I inherited the ship from my grandpa whats he doing giving me advice at the start of the game?
@circle yes tooltips are a user's best friend. I used this tutorial to figure out how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_qk7egZ8_c . If you don't feel like watching i have some old code i could possibly share also
Sound design? Amazing how the music changes as the situation gets more tense! Graphics and theme? Match very well, fun look and animations are smooth! Fun and Innovation? Very unique concept and gameplay loop was enjoyable! 5 stars great work
I came back to give this game a higher score. Blant is a national treasure!
Great art and design, its just not very fun. I got frustrated very quickly.
Great game hope you win
Would have been nice to have waves or different enemies, as far I could tell the same few ships kept spawning in the same spot. But in terms of the core gameplay loop its solid. Nice work on the menus too, they are really good.
Its a good concept just very slow. I think if you had more time you could improving the pacing. The evacuation animation is really well done. With things going on in Ukraine it seems very timely. If anything this is a neat proof of concept
This game is really bizarre but I like it. Its just very short. I wish you made it so it was infinite or had some random generation past a certain point. Also I'm not sure how it fits the theme? Maybe you can explain
Funny game even though im really bad at it! The voices work well in this game
I love simulation games this one could be very interesting if built out with a tutorial and perhaps a few more options!
great game again this year joey boys
I won!!!
Great graphics and gameplay although it doesn't work as good on the web browser. I would love to see you build out more levels
I like witches and snowboarding. This reminds me of the N64 games i used to play. Very fun
ill try to review this later
I had a lot of fun with this game there was a lot of graphics for the different levels and funny jokes in the dialogue. I died in lava would have been nice to continue but oh well. 5 stars from me bravo
Reminds me of the worlds hardest game I like how the level is a stopwatch. took me a few tries to get the double jump down but once I did it was well responsive
Good graphics and sound, but ill be honest the splat effect kind of creeps me out. kind of fitting though with the space theme. And yeah the game did make me a little dizzy after it spun around a few times. Good namesake but still kind of nauseous
Reminds me of the ACDC song very well cause you gotta be fast. Well done
gotta go call my grandma now 5 stars
i dont think i was supposed to relate to this game as much as I did
The Sus butts are no laughing matter. I couldn't figure out how to quit the game or increase the audio tho
Atmospheric reminds me very much of fishing in shenmue. Great submission
Great menus (minus no quit button). but more than what most people do. I love the ironic style. bravo.
Its got to be 5 stars from me i loved the premise and the gameplay
Cool graphics in the house and i like the idea of the level changing every 10 seconds. Seems a little buggy tho I fell out of the world by mistake
Nice work by everyone involved and great application of the theme
thanks for playing @chitoyuu i was going to make the lines move further toward the edge of the screen as your score goes up but i ran out of time
@dgo @mikoziq @yellowkamel @eugenik @primateprime @cornflowerblue @matt-ravenhall @ale @rubentipparach @empty-set @saintchristopher777 thank you all for the support. i hope to continue to make the OS more accessible for the future
@monika YES just published the ISO. if following the tutorial video just unzip, mount the disk to vmware instead of the TOS Distro and install normally
joe biden wake up.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7YYpnk14VU great graphics, good mood. Great submission overall. I woke up
good graphics on this game and very good sense of humor! I appreciate the gameplay compliments the graphics.
Pretty cool like meat boy or whatever that game was called. I really liked it when the rockets came in. Being able to lower the music in the game would be nice
good points for the mood since i like the bit graphics the game is kinda hard but i like that
I really like point and click adventure games. This one works well. I think this one would have had a better aesthetic if the colors were a bit darker so it was a little scarier.
obviously i love pirates thank you for this boating sim
I liked the pirate theme. Good graphics for a strategy game too, although I wouldve preferred some more enemy variation
Interesting puzzle game with a great dark theme. Good writing
Overall good game but got boring after awhile. Good scores in all except Humor as the game is deathly serious my family was killed in an evacuating space ship
This game is lots of fun i would love to see it with villagers or something you got to protect cause right now you just cut trees i wish there was more to build besides fires
This is pretty dope game i like hes some robotic dwarf guy and yeah that scream is epic keep up the good work 5 stars
I really like the theme and the idea of a conversation card game but my chatbox glitched out after a few hands
That was really fast paced and fun great job writing so much in just the few days!
Interesting bird watching game
Reminds me of hearthstone very cool you coded all that! the card text is funny even if the images all being placeholder is unintentionally funny
Good game, Really loved visual effect work. I think the movement speed was a little slow. I got the glitch at first where i couldnt move but it was because i booted from the zipped folder once i extracted it was fine
I love this game there are epic spells angry mushrooms and wacky music what is not to love?
I loved the graphics and audio in this game really made me feel like a little nymph or fairy or whatever we are. So good points to mood. I was kinda annoyed how long it took to wait for the seasons to change maybe it wouldve been more forgiving if the seasons i already collected didn't appear any more.
High marks for mood, very epic jumping around. I didn't see a good way to exit the game and get the grab button to work.
I loved the crazy eye hair dude as the main protagonist. Overall great art direction and storytelling through gameplay elements. The controls were a bit difficult to figure out it would be nicer if you made them more clear or less sensitive to interact with objects.
Hello geck0, Thank you for letting me play your game, Delivery Rock!
I like the twist on the caveman doing a delivery. It is very unique! I can see how with multiple levels you can expand on complexity. The best part of the game for me was the animation. Great walk and work cycles.
One area that could be improved was the camera. The instructions kept moving off screen for me!
Anyway it was a great game! Have an a great Ludum Dare! :)
I love this! Valentina Hawes and uvwar you made a very creative art piece here. It reminds me of spore creator creator. I think it was a missed opportunity to go have some really gross-out pieces here though. I spent way more time than I should have dropping the homuculus from the sky. Have a great ludum dare.
I tried to think about the complaints I had with this game, then I realized, I had none!
Its like the perfect representation of software pipeline delivery..
I am the top bro
Cool platformer thanks for sharing alaah it was fun
Another thrilling title from Genpaku and friends. Excellent physics on the arm and vehicles. Dynamic gameplay with twists turns and clear objective. There is nothing his team cannot do!
Cool math but not really a game. I love AI projects though. Great work, and have a great ludum dare!
Avant-garde is not even close to describing this. It is beyond art. This is experience.
I wish so badly for this to be a full length game with more to do and secrets to find. Maybe there are secrets and I am unworthy for this art.
retmia and MatLab, bravo.
Great submission from vivyhasadream emoreo and DGSpitzer. I think it was an amazing use of the new chat technologies. The cute animals is a great way to demonstrate characters and they have good graphics. Have a great ludum dare! :)
Hello Kwiper thanks for sharing your game 10 Minutes Guaranteed. I enjoyed figuring out the mechanics and quickly discovering the difficulty in the puzzles. There was a lot of depth to come from simple mechanics. I think the pixel style and delivery postal aesthetic was pulled off well and matches the theme. One area of improvement would be making the power up effects a little more clear for what they do. Have a good rest of the Ludum Dare!
Martynas the programming on this is phenomenal. Everything is smooth and the game-play is intuitive. Wonderful submission. Have a great ludum dare!
All around good title.
Pros:
Slick UI
Engaging Gameplay
Simple but choice filled progression (different paths)
Cons:
Frustrating because No Checkpoints and Combat can spike in difficulty
Hello Lenan thank you for letting me play your game. It was a good experience for a prototype and the main appeal for me was the design and mood. I think the vibe is very cute and awesome!
I think maybe the scope was too big for the game and the interactions could have been made a little more clear on what to do. Simplifying the ingredients might be a good place to start.
If this was made into a full game I think you should continue to focus on your amazing design and inter work that with the game play. I'd love to see more intricate drawings of ingredients or things in the kitchen. Thanks for letting me play your ludum dare game!!
Hello Stalemeat and No Grapes Games! I went in expecting a pheonix wright type game, and the UI was familiar in that way-- But the gameplay was totally new and original! I was having a lot of fun. Some parts I was confused to figure out the controls. I wish there was more of a tutorial, because once I figured stuff out it was enjoyable! Have a great ludum dare! If you decide to check out my game, let me know if you have any questions.
Overtime at the Tetromino Factory is a nostalgic callback to earlier tetris games with a delivery style construction twist. I love classic arcade games and this one fits in with the rest. Starting a new game can feel kind of slow, but other than that it is a load of fun :) Have a great ludum dare !
Very cool game sledzik I like the physics and the design choices lots of obstacles and things for the box to interact with. Although it was confusing because I have to hit the green and then the red to get the max distance. I would love to see you add more upgrades also because it is addicting to get the max distance!. Have a great ludum dare. If you decide to check out my game, let me know if I can answer any questions!
@obe-dot @freakman @georgy @poboy @nail Can you beat my new high score? (there is a way to cheat, let me know if you find it.)
score.png
@random-ideation-studios Oh okay, If you are leaving a rating please use a hypervisor and give the game a try !
Another great submission from MikoziQ. Have a great ludum dare! :)
Jam game Constellation Courier is a great example of how to do player controls the right way. The dialogue is also well written with cute accompanying characters.
You are a very talented creator and I think this game was very well set to the theme. Let me please give you some pros and cons
Pros
Fun game play
sorting boxes brain puzzle is a great combination with the theme
good mood because of death manager character
Cons
Less innovation because I think I played a similar game in another jam
The ending is amazing. All those people died.... for !!! I won't spoil it! So fun I played it twice. I will say one annoying thing is having to talk to people to switch menus. Why not just click on the portrait? And add a boot icon?
Okay I played it and I have to say it was a lot of fun. Kind of like a solitaire with dice.
I ended the game with three, three, three, three, two, two. Six dice for a perfect score, I'm not sure if the added numbers mean anything?
The game itself was a blast and very well designed and tested from my perspective. The pdf was a little bare and didn't seem the reflect the gameplay.
A great submission, Nordwolf ! I feel like this is a very relaxing game which thrives to capture a relaxed mood and fit the theme of delivery in a very unique way because there are not many games about planting seeds. The gameplay gets a little boring after awhile though if you build this game out perhaps you should add some upgrades to the wind. I had a lot of fun ! Have a great ludum dare!
Apocalypse Express by D3kryption is a cool prototype first person shooter reminiscent of the fallout series. I think the AI voices make the game stand out in a very cool way, but it takes some focus away from more the more shooter aspects of the game so they are little more glitchy and less polished. Overall the game runs great though and the story is very engaging for a ld submission. Amazing work ! Have a great ludum dare!
TeddyReid and HexyVexy thank you for sharing your game! It was exciting to play and I even got to the end. I hope you will listen to a few pros and cons I had about the game
Pros
Good combat feel and flow
Nice environments
Cons
Some drawn out areas near the end having to run up and down hallways
I feel this game excels in Fun and Audio! Good luck and Have a great Ludum Dare.
Classic twist on a classic program!
Wow Aes1 what a great submission!
I love drone games and this one has a lot of awesome potential. I think it excels in the humor category because of all the easter eggs and hidden messages. Though I would have liked a compass, or some kind of indication of where the package was going. It was not obvious to me.
Thank you and have a great ludum dare!
Hello mipa111 what an epic submission! Thank you for submitting your game. This space flight simulator felt really good to control with the mouse and i scared myself when i crashed at light speed into a wall. It is unfortunate you did not have audio but it was good that you focused on the gameplay because the starship flying is a lot of fun. One complaint from me is why I have to walk up 12 flights of stairs to accept a mission?? Its the future but we don't have elevators. :)
King had the most stressful life ever! I enjoyed timing the news with how he felt each day. I never came close to running out of time though.
I love the idea of an evil box, the art flows so naturally, and the jump is perfectly. Just all the elements line up well and feel natural. I appreciate this as an example of how to do good platforming. Have a good rest of your ludum dare!
Hello waterfowler,
Thanks for letting me play your game! It was fun and I have a lot to comment about it.
I think the best things were the awesome jumps and interactions. I could interact with everything and controling my drone felt very fluid.
But if I hit an enemy or rock the wrong way, the camera would swing wildly around. When it works it works right, but when it doesn't it makes me disoriented.
Anyway great game and hope you enjoy the rest of your Ludum Dare. Leave a comment if you decide to check out my submission!
Hello team! Wonderful submission! Great game but very frustrating for me! Kind of similar to those get up the hill games. As a programmer I am very intrigued by the physics implemented here. I think its overall very good title! Have a great ludum dare!
Hello Hora-Timer I must say this is a very good fan remake of the series. I think although this demo is very funny it shows a lot of potential for a good full length game. Besides that the art is amazing and the character controller feels very good. The environment at some areas feels a little cluttered, but is incredibly good quality. Thank you for sharing this game and have a great ludum dare!
Momma mia! Now that is a spicy video game. Great controls, level design! Its the whole pizza pie.
Amazing use of time by Space Games in 'delivery' of this ludum dare's theme. I think the pizza vibe is a great mood and choice for the theme. That being said, with no way to tell different areas apart it did get a little confusing.
Jake Marks and WeirdBitGames's GobEx is basically what happens every year when good kids end up getting bad gifts. Yeah goblins are real. I think this game was hilarious and put me in a great mood :) Overall everything seems really detailed and polished which is impressive for a ludum dare submission. I think one area that can be improved on is just a little more consistency with the gui. I felt like at times I was juggling the menu rather than the packages. It wasn't a huge complaint, and maybe it was on purpose :)
Anyway have a great ludum dare and thank you for sharing your game.
Hey! Pontiff and ndellam our game has a biblical theme also. :) I like where you went with it about the tower of babel. I quit playing once the platforms got so tiny... I couldn't handle the precision jump like that! The game until then was really fun though, and I liked the slime cubes. Have a great ludum dare
I enjoyed your work Obe Dot and I think this game was very well set in the fun category :) . Let me please give you some pros and cons
Pros
Funny train enemy (i could not defeat them, but I got a few)
fluid character control
Cons
Audio noise for gun was loud in headphone
By the way I saw you reviewed my game! Thank you. Please let me know if you had any trouble getting the virtual machine to work on your computer. The TempleOS operating system is Ring-0 Only!
Hello OrionPisces and BrineLeaves thanks for letting me play Towers n Treasure. I was expecting a throwback to old dungeon games and then I saw the cutest dragons ever and I knew I must protect them. Great graphics and humor in the design. Control feels good over the map but I got confused a few times just because of the different directions and paths you have to take. I would like to see more traps and different kinds to place since they seemed quite sparse. The elements are all here for an excellent dungeon game. I would love to see if you continue development on it. Have a good Ludum Dare
Unfortunately, the game does not work.
Game was very well set to the theme. :) Great work everyone involved. Package Parkour is a delightful experience. Let me please give you some pros and cons
Pros
Great landscape and level design
Mood and Sound excel to make you feel like a desperate postman
Cons
Less innovation because I think the slide trope is a little overplayed.
Thanks for checking out my game! Let me know if you need any help with TempleOS emulation.
Hello RegisMeysso, The camera is broken but you can still shoot and score points. I think this is a very good first submission because you have working input and score counter. Camera is one of the hardest things to get to work, good job!
