nice entry. I like how you interpreted the theme: by transforming some very common game mechanics into something new. The graphics are cute too. And it would be cool to have some sound.
I don't know if it's me but the game seems pretty hard.

The Consumer by foolmoron 2018-09-01T22:30:07Z ♥ 1
nice game. The concept is interesting. It's a perfect example of how you can make a simple mechanic interesting by adding some depth and colour (in here the 50-60s propaganda mood). And the mood is excellent, I guess it's what makes this most interesting.
Gameplaywise its probably just a sort of arcade game? But it's a really good thing to make the player adjust the difficulty by himself, while it's completely explained by the game's narrative. Pretty ingineous! π
Overall good job!

Gosh, I am utterly sorry for the repport I sent to the judge π
But I have to say that in the begining the game annoyed me A LOT: unskippable and VERY long text, no indication in regars of controls or how to operate the machine, when you finally learn how to write, you don't even see the text you're writing. It's like if everything was made on purpose to make this not fun at all... (I think these things desserve your game a lot as some people may not have the perserverance I had to stay until the end).
but in the end when I saw what was going to happen to my repport I laughed out loud and it was great. It's a really great surprise. And I forgave you all that was before.
So overall it was a very refreshing experiece. good job! π
Magical Garden by Anonymus Raccoon 2018-09-01T21:17:30Z ♥ 0
The concept is interesting and you managed to make some cute relaxing mood with those assets even though they are not yours. However I really don't know how to play the game. I try to place the number of required trees but how do you advance the turns? I tried several missions, several placements (I even tried every single button on the keyboard) and it stays in turn number 1 no matter what I do π’
if you manage to correct this I think it would make a nice relaxing puzzle game.
Greedy Guts by Slojanko 2018-08-31T21:27:57Z ♥ 1
nice game with interesting concept, I like the idea of flying away from stomac and dodging the food, it's a bit absurd (I love absurd) π
the graphics are really nice, the audio has a short loop but does not get repetitive.
however the game itself is rather hard to play, I had difficulties of assessing the distances with diverse foods or with distinguishing where are the walls are so I kept hitting them.
OutThere by mrsylar59 2018-08-31T21:11:51Z ♥ 1
Nice entry, the combination of both types is interesting. Although I admit that I can't land on any planet, keep getting hit by asteroids or my rocket is either too fast or at bad angle. I find it really difficult to steer or avoid the asteroids. It could be good to have "acceleration" or be able to shoot in a different direction then where you are going.
The graphics are really neat, even though they seem very fast-sketched and it's cool to have different end game screens for different deaths π
Anyway, good job!
Colony by thechubbypanda 2018-08-30T21:36:33Z ♥ 0
nice game. The graphics are neat, your little astronaut is excellent, and you managed to create some very cool mood. Although it doesn't seem like you made the music (opted out) I'd like to congratulate on make good choice with it as it really adds greatly to the athmosphere.
On the negative side the controls seem to quirky for me, with too much inertia, the character keeps going left and right a long time after the arrow buttons have been depressed which makes it very difficult for precise landing.
Bunny Ice Cream Maker by rkhadder 2018-08-30T21:20:00Z ♥ 1
the game is quite funny. I really liked the graphics and it's "ridicoulusness". Nice thing to make a multiplayer, I guess it's the default mode even.
For me the most difficult part turned out the first phase where you have to push all the buttons as it's not so obvious how to get on some platforms and the bunny slides from some of them. π
Anyway nice entry, congrat's!
Backpack Squire by Squid 2018-08-30T13:35:49Z ♥ 2
It's a quite a hilarious concept π It's cool to make a main hero out of a generally second role character.
graphics are really neat and I like the mood as well. Good job.
CAVEMAN by MaiMai 2018-08-29T21:51:47Z ♥ 1
nice entry! The graphics are really cool. I especially liked how you rendred those leaves, they are like real π
also nice idea to include the theme in the narrative. Although I'd argue that the genre is more exploration than adventure. Anyway good job.
HANA by Conspite 2018-08-29T21:25:18Z ♥ 2
Nice game, with a very original concept. It's not obvious at first but one can learn quite quickly how it operates.
And those heads! Congrats for imaginning something so "unusual" π
Cluttered Mind by HAUO 2018-08-29T21:01:20Z ♥ 1
such a weird puzzle game, I love it! β€οΈ
the creepy strange mood is excellent, the graphics and the sound design as well, I really like everything about it. I wonder how you came up with that sequence of "stuff" that I saw on the screen π
Anyway congrats, It's an excellent entry!

very interesting entry, the graphics and the mood are excellent. Difficult to say if it's more creepy or psychadelic π
I also like how you leave the player the impression of choosing the type they'd want to play, only to force them to be something else! And I guess there are several endings as well?
Overall good job!

Sushi!!!! π
It's funny, the graphics are excellent, the mood is oh-so cute and now I'm hungry π
great job!
Runnink out of Space by Aurel300 2018-08-28T22:55:39Z ♥ 1
very nice entry. Graphics and audio are really cool and I really enjoyed the general mood and the narrative. Also transforming the map into inventory was a very neat move, makes a clean UI and adds additionnal challenge.
As a non english speaker I found the word puzzles very challenging (= too challenging to be fun) especially the green riddles with which you need to start to be able to get anywhere, it would help if there were maybe rhymes or something, it actually sometimes sounded like a poem (I liked those little textes a lot).
A part from that the game mechanic of transforming the words is actually quite fun. Overall it's excellent game that could become just be a little bit more accessible π
Grid Battle by Sarah 2018-08-28T22:05:26Z ♥ 0
the game looks nice, the graphics are really neat.
I don't know Baten Kaitos so it took me a while to understand what the game was about but even now I don't think I quite fully got it, I though I was winning and when I colored all the grid boxed the game told me I lost :( I think it would be cool to have some sort of tutorial, even very brief. Also maybe adding some indication about which player is which.
but overall it's a nice entry, and with a few tweeks it could become much more accessible π
Ultimate Alien Rumble by Rodrigo Molina 2018-08-28T21:39:58Z ♥ 0
cool game, it's ridiculous in a good sense! π
the graphics are relly excellent, the audio is good as well overall, although the tracks could be a little bit longer as it gets a bit repetitive after a while
but overall it's a really nice entry. congrat's for your first ludum dare.
Astropocalypse by adrisj7 2018-08-28T21:26:10Z ♥ 1
Excellent game, congrat's for putting this together! I especially liked the whole mood (the audio and the graphics adding greatly to it). I also really like the screen turning effect, you can get easily accustomed to it and I find it more ergonomic than when the screen stays immobile.
I only managed to get 2 escape pods for instance, the diffilulty at the death zone seems frantic. π I didn't try the relaxed mode yet. also maybe it could be good to add some indication about the position of other planets
But anyway it's a great entry!
Exhaustion by Koala Squad 2018-08-28T21:04:13Z ♥ 0
nice entry! It's interesting to have some story in addition to card battles. There's lots of variety as well (maybe even too much variety as I ended having lots of cards, but just one of each type π), I think it could be intersesting to be able to prepare your hand before the battle.
all in all good job, congrat's!
You May Live (YML) by SachaY 2018-08-26T14:45:43Z ♥ 1
interesting concept and take on the theme. the artwork and audio fit the mood very well.
Nice featire would be to know at the end what happened to patients I didn't save, and how to prevent the murders π
A simple life by Amour Du Pain 2018-08-25T20:24:39Z ♥ 0
really nice game, I loved the mood! The tune is just excellent.
I also like how the gameplay supports your message. Even if it's short and seemingly without any objective, that's what makes it even more interesting. Congratulations!
Bath Time by DDRKirbyISQ 2018-08-25T20:16:18Z ♥ 1
cool game. I really loved it. The graphics and audio and the adorable mood are excellent. This would surely make a nice mobile game. π
Althought at first I thought it was a nice relaxing game until I got to level 5 when all of a sudden the difficulty curve just mounts πΈ
Anxiety by TontonPizza 2018-08-25T20:04:07Z ♥ 1
short but excellent. It's interesting how everything (graphics, sound desing, gameplay) supports your message. that's some really good work! π
L: An Interactive Mystery by Cercle 2018-08-25T19:59:11Z ♥ 1
Excellent game, congratulations! The story is intriguing, the narrative is great and convincing. And all the sound design and voice acting is truly excellent. π
On side note I wanted to uninstall the duck game especially because Diane said it was horrible, then I tryied playing it thinking about a hidden clue (completely out of character) but I guess I didn't go to far π
BallContainer by LeReveur 2018-08-25T19:01:53Z ♥ 0
good job ! It's a cool little arcade game and nice interpretation of the theme. You could always improve on this design but I think you should be proud of what you've acheived here on such a short notice. π
Mind Space by ysty 2018-08-25T18:50:40Z ♥ 1
I really liked this game. The mood is excellent, the audio contributes greatly to it. And the bits and scraps of memories convey a very dark story. It kept me entertained π
A part the last specimen I didn't really reach my objectives but I guess it doesn't matter π
overall exellent entry, congrats!
Pianobots by fonserbc 2018-08-25T18:32:10Z ♥ 0
very interesting game. has lot's of potential :)
I think it would be easier if the sequence always started on the same note even after after failure so synchronizing synchronizing of the robots would be much eased.
All Ahoard by Matt Fabius 2018-08-20T22:00:28Z ♥ 1
very nice relaxing game π
I liked the cute graphics and the fitting music and some of those puzzles were quite challenging. Good job!

Thank you very much for this entry. I had tears in my eyes. My Nany... This trully is a game about dementia and all the feelings and hopelessness and tears that come with it. Thank you β€οΈ
Encroaching by Ava Skoog 2018-08-20T20:18:17Z ♥ 1
It's a horror game!! I really felt for that poor deer, especially that I can't seem to find the little clearence I saw on your Twitter π
The mood you created is excellent, the audio is disturbing (as it should be) and the graphics are really nice (they're like a bit dreamful so it creates a spooky yet wonderful atmosphere). I really enjoyed it. I think that if you had put some imaginary creatures instead of hunters that would also work with the mood. π
I think it would be cool to have some sort of indication as to where to run or if you're close to escaping or not. Or maybe I have missed something.
Overall, great entry, congrat's!
EVOLUTION by Noa Calice 2018-08-20T19:56:12Z ♥ 1
very nice clicker game and with a serious theme! π
In the begining I didn't know what to expect but when I realized where it was going, it was fun to just to see the evolution of this little game and the ending. The game length is perfect not too long to get bored and enough to just be a little relaxing experience.
Also I really liked how everything (the subtle animations, audio adjustments etc) serves the game and you message.
overall excellent entry. Congrats!

congrat's it's a great compo entry
Protocol: 47 - Superstar Appeal by Poffle 2018-08-19T22:49:05Z ♥ 1
OMG Excellent, I was wondering how you would solve some of those rhymes and it was just excellent π
The game is hilarious and the overall style (graphics, audio) fits it very well.
On top of it, I really like the take on the theme you did here. It's a game about a serious issue and how unseriously it is being treated, one might say it's a potilical game!
But how did you... ummm.. solve the issue of copywrited songs?
unfortunetely at one time the game stopped at "His grandma Iris" but I replayed again and fortunately it was ok.
Anayway, congrat's!
What Is On The Walls Inside by fullmontis 2018-08-19T22:06:36Z ♥ 2
Very nice game, congrat's! π Lot's of content for such small game. And it really was interesting to try and find all the endings! Also graphics and audio are excellent, as well as the overall mood.
On a side note I didn't quite realize in the beginning who I was playing, Lou or her partner, I didn't even realize those were dialogs (font color difference is very subtle) but it all became obvious at the first ending π and these are just details. It's an excellent entry overall!
Birdbird can't fly! by Togimaro 2018-08-18T21:58:14Z ♥ 1
cool game! The narrative is humourous (and keeps one entertained). The art style is really nice with the slight change of tone, yet consistant on every level. And the mechanics change a bit on every level so it's an interesting challange.
note that the controls were very sticky (unplayable) on Chrome when text is shown, but on Firefox everything worked fine.
Overall great entry. Congrats! :)
Space(bar)Invaders by Carraka 2018-08-18T12:39:41Z ♥ 1
Very nice take on the theme. the concept is inherently humorous, I really enjoyed it. it's fun and the graphics are really cool :)
on the bad side it's either too challenging or it's just because I'm playing using a touchpad but I hardly ever had the time to clear any page. also at some point (always on the same page : "Lancelet looked... " clicking didn't clear the spaces but rather made appear a little black blinking cursor. there is also some long waiting at the end of each level.
but overall it's a great entry! :)
Exhaustlands by Sand-Gardeners 2018-08-16T22:00:07Z ♥ 2
Excellent game! I really enjoyed the mood and the story keept me wanting to discover more. The graphics and audio fit the general mood very well. Unfortunately with only 7 faith it was not enough to fight the darkness ;) I don't really know what the cartographer serves for (maybe you could have acces to a map when he is in your team?)
