Very bautiful and colourful, but didn't actually understand what to do, and one time "fell out of a textures" (in second location I could run all over the space but the floor)

OBJECTION!
Great idea, nice graphic!
If it really your first entry, I can just applaud.
Great work, but it was too hard for mine casual hands :D
But still, nice mechanics and level-design!
Very deep, and great art!
But, I think it should be longer and have more complicated story. It is very sad, that you didn't have time to extend it =(
Maybe you need to make controls more responsive, because it is too hard to really enjoy this. I spent about 10 minutes (it is a lot for LD game, so you made great job), but if handling was better - it will be 10/10
Rather funny and psychedelic, but it feels some lack of usabilty ingame
Great concept, very funny and addictive!
Great mechanics, I was totally in, really.
Hovewer some things were still misunderstandable, but it looks like it is very deep game.
Wow, nice "meta" idea, I loved it!
The one thing - the fast voice from phone (or something else, I didn't understand) is toooo ennoying. But it is small thing in great game, overall.
Wow! Great graphics, but game is really hard (maybe only for me idk). Btw, nice mood after playing!
Well, the idea was to make a garden in the room, then improve this room (not only with things for garden, but luxury items too), and in the end the player will have beutiful room with a rose in the center, and luxury environment. But you know - time is the worst enemy, so in story line on main screen stayed only story abouty the Rose.
Thanks!
Swordbrella, yes, you are right!=) Firstly the idea was about backpack and empty ROOM in it. Then we think - why not combine it with farming in the room? So, yes, the theme gives us that idea.
It was scary to launch this .exe file :D
Game is good, like Super meat boy meets Metroid. I had fun, when played =)
I think, it will be the best game in "Graphics". Very interesting idea, and nice concept!
Very nice game, reminding that all of us are just a society of apes. Well, until we make some reasonable and smart decisions. Thx!
great game!
Web and in-LD version are not working =(
Nice idea and execution, but there is 3 important things:
1) Room is too big! I didn't find a key after 5-7 minutes of playin, and then get bored
2) I don't know why, but in this version on site I am immortal =)
3) Game is quite lags on my computer 9maybe, it is my problem)
If you change this things, game will be perfect 10/10!
Nice idea, but controls are quite bad. Maybe you should try keyboard controls?
Great work!
I've seen your posts about it, and finally it came. Funny idea and great realization =)
A liitle thing - it's quite lags on my computer.
nice game. but axpected some continuation
Great example of classic genre.
If it wasn't so interesting, I will start to say, that it is too predictable genre for this theme, but execution of game itself is too great (especially logic) to starting this speech :D
Wow, great concept and idea!
I liked it, you should do full mobila app. I think, it will be popular, because of interesting mechanics
cute little game
Locoroco fan is here - really liked your entry, but rotating circle parts are IMO too hard for the beginning of the level. Sound and graphics are great, I liked gameplay also a lot, but you need to do hardness curve not so steep, I think.
Great game! Loved the idea and the happy ending - didn't expect it, but hoped for it and got it. This is the great example how you can tell a story with a very few instruments
Grappling hook is awesome! But the enemies look not very important. You can through them without having any attantion. Quick suggestion (if you need :D ) is to make barriers in the middle of the level, so you can go further until you clear this district. But still - grappling is too good mechanic, liked to play it a lot.
@tuism thing is, that controls are documented in the game. There is a text before level 2 where it is wrtten. But yes, you are rigt, I should add it to game description here =) Controls our biggest issue - we can't even imagine how t do it more comfortable... We tried holding RMB and rotate and it is even worse. Do you have amy idea? That can help us.
Really funny game. Was quite shocked on the beginning of the story, but shocked in a good way, didn't expect smthg like this on LD :D Logic of puzzle is great. I LIKED IT I NEED MORE LEVELS
Untitled.png Loved this game! Interesting type mechanic and story! Was quite hard for me, sometimes wasn't quite sure about label, because didn't want to break anymore (after I broke first one). Maybe you shoul do it a little bit easier, like 3 attemps for each jar? Anyway - perfect entry
Funny idea! I liked Tamagochi vibe a lot, and also that you put there games from LD. Great submission!
Great conception, liked it at all! Did you think to add maybe levels for it instead of making "endless"? Each level it become harder and harder, maybe with different shape of field and even maybe with increasing charachterics between levels? Of course it is too hard to make all of this in LD, but I think, adding this, you can make full game ready for sell.
@kl0z i got this system. What I meant is different "stages" which of them has a different tasks or different story, and while you are between of them you can upgrade more global things like "more cards in your hand" or you start with more AP at the very beginning and so on. Having this you can make a complete story and have really great chance to make your game popular in "big" market.
Great controls and gameplay - liked it! But dying from one hit seems quite unfair for me, maybe you can add 2-3 lifes? Also, it is unclear, does this game have nd or not, so not only timer but overall status bar would be also nice. Dialogs are damn funy also! And it was pure joy to see how enemy ship is crushed by asteroid first time
Music and graphics are wonderful, liked gameplay a lot also, but starting from the second boss weapon deals really low damage and you starts boring, because you already know the pattern. So I think it can be one of the best entries on this LD after you increase powerup or make some bosses health a little bit less.
Fun game! Liked it a lot, interesting and well-made
Wow! Wonderful idea. I didn't get first how it is connected to the theme, but when started to take damage, realised that it has no health-bar, but health-land :D Also good implementation: interesting to play + interesting idea = great LD game.
Wow. Great idea and realistaion, very addictive gameplay. Loved FM stations also
Untitled.png Great idea and execution, loved it! Basically, it is my weak place - games that make a player reall strong at the beginning and then weakening while yu are moving to the end. Here you do it yourself, whcih makes this 100% better Few thoughts, how to make it even better: 1) Add a marker that show, hiow many enemies left 2) Make a reload button P.S. FUCK SKELETONS :D
@sengi same here, really strong vibe of enter the gunheon (I am playing it right now :D) . But from all game with this mechanic on LD, I find this one the smoothiest and the most interesting (of course from all that I played, maybe I didn't find other diamond yet)
Gae is awesome, liked the idea. FInished everything except Council room. @freezedice SPOILERS ALERT here is my solution for Council Room, can you help me wit my logic? 1) Obviously Baphomet and Incubus liars 2) Than Krampus is also liar, while Baphomet is a lir 3) Than checnikg Annamelech, we unnderstand that he is telling the truth and Rusalka lies I didn't quite got what is Archon talking about and Behemoth is also talking about demons starting with C but there is any. I tried a lot of different combinations of it (even thinkin that Aamon lying and deleting all the truth tellers), but nothing works. Can you help me, I am really interested!
@freezedice got it now, thanks!
Wonderful game and great idea! It is special feelilng when yoe end a song and all your arrow are raelly close to the top, but you still did everything great. Loved it!
Liked the atmosphere and gameplay, but you need to think about other tutorial. Maybe a video of gameplay? I found out how to play and loved it, but it was too hard to go through first minutes to be honest.
@rs11s21n great!
Well, I turned it off after the second screamer, so I think you did pretty great job, I was frightened as hell. Great graphics also, but little lags in Web version
Great game and interesting gameplay, liked it a lot! But guys, level 5... I tried itlike 10 times and couldnt' pass it.
Nice game! Liked the last level twist, was ready to be dead, and suddenly not :D Great entry.
Sounds are awesome! Game is quite boring on normal, but hard mode is really fun =)
Really strong vibe of Clustertruck and Thumper, but in a good way, I like it. Controls are pretty hard still, it is hard to "catch a flow", but game is really good!
Interesting idea and good execution! But (for me) it would be much comfortable if controls were linked to player view, not the directiob of the snake (with arrows)
All of my friends thought that my game is too hard,I need to show them yours :D Great idea ad great puzzle
@khud0 @amastryukov @darkfrost Hi! Because of these questions, we added this topic to description of the project
We are participating each time since 28th LD so we have a lot of experience. Also during all LDs, we built up a library of useful things like scripts and shaders etc that helps to save time during Jam.
We took some 3D environmental props like gates and some walls (and reskinned them to match the look) from our previous unpublished LD#36 game called [Guy's Dungeon](http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-36/?action=preview&uid=29081).
This time we also had a bunch of people involved in creation: a game-designer, a level-designer, a 3D artist, a material designer, 1.5 programmers, and a "sound designer".
**Post LD enhancements**: - Added Intro level to better introduce mechanics - Added pause menu and audio settings - Builds for Linux and MacOS
Other than that the game is made in 72 hours.
Wow, great puzzle! Sokoban with timeholes :D
Great game, smart and unique! Got my "Congratulations" at the end. Missed a "replay" button a little bit, but liked your game a lot. Music and artstyle are awesome, as well as (as I said before) unique gameplay, I wish there were more levels.
Great game! But as not-native speaker it was kinda annoying to have such small counter (only 60 seconds!). Moreover, it didn't make make any difference - whether we had a counter or not it still the same "Talk to everybody, find as much evidence as you can". Nevertheless, it was just a feedback in a "I want you to learn on your mistakes" way, not the criticism in "game is bad" way, because I loved the game. I guessed correctly, I liked dialogues, graphics, music and atmosphere, so it is solid 5.
Отличная игра, очень милая графика, и интересный концепт паззлов. Единственное замечание, которое у меня возникло - возможно, стоило голосовую озвучку сделать не так часто, или записать больше различных сэмплов - на третий уровень уже немного устаешь от возгласов.
Really fun game to play! Enjoyed the process, but it will be so much better with task or objectives! Anyway, pure gameplay is great. Voiceover is amazing.
Great game! I am changed human now ;) Liked all the puzzles, but clicking one was a little bit frustrating to me tbh.
Wow, just wow! The humour was amazing, really enjoyed the game. Was wondering, how it can be the loop, until *SPOILER*. Loved it!
Fun concept, but too hard as for me - didn't understand why shots are not scored sometimes :( Nice graphics and sound effects!
You escaped the loop... but the loop continues. Frustrating, but interesting! At first I was WTF, but then I realised how precise you should be to beat the game and it became interesting. Nice approach, a little bit frustrating physics, but really worth to play! And you have even the intro!
Great game, but I wish it was either longer or have more logical end - so I can feel some reveal at the end. But this is LD, there is not enough time to do everything :D. BTW, had really hard Blackwell series vibe, did you try it? It's about medium and ghost detective, and in the last part of the series there is an episode where you need to free your medium from the psychiatric as a ghost. You should try it, it is great one!
Great idea but was a little bit too hard for me. It would be awesome if there will be a way to do something while a character walks like to speed up or slow down. But it's a LD and there is always not enough time for new features :) Anyway, great game!
UPD: here was a request of Win version because couldn't run the web version on Chrome, was able to run the web on Edge (lol). Great game, like the idea of exploring the level. Didn't understand why the table on the 2nd level sometimes red, sometimes green :( Music is awesome! UPD 2: Ok I got after going trough last level, clever!
Finished the game! Mechanic is easy, though you made it challenging and interesting to finish, good job! One thing that I found a little bit off is the sound of digging, it was too annoying. But great gameplay beats this :) 3.png
Spent like 3 or 4 hours playing it, liked it a lot. Didn't finish it though, it seems to be too hard at the "third" stage, didn't understand why I cannot investigate anything there. Liked that the music changes at the different stages of investigation. I think with a proper (not randomized) story it can be done as a full game (I understand though that it was not possible because of the small time-frame). My best result looked like this: Untitled.png Amazing result for COMPO!
Great game, I liked the humour and graphics a lot! Gameplay is also nice, I liked that you have new abilities and new health each time you go deeper. Had quite hardtime at 3rd level (and also didn't find out how to reach left high platform at danger zone there), but I liked the "secret ceiling" ommage to Mario at the second floor :D Great game, I would not be surprised if it was a big full game at Newgrounds at its best days (I hope that it is not considered as insult, I just got really strong vibe from that time - and I loved that time :D)
One of the funniest game I played on this LD. We laughed as crazy while playing it (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1002881859?t=00h58m36s). I also like the difficulty - at the very moment I thought it is frustrating and hard, the game ended. Good job! P.S. the lantern is awesome!
Had a great time returning to this game through the time - every time I noticed something new (last one was about stacking and taking everything to the next level). Great gameplay and really polished for the compo game!
Great game, the guy from here (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1002881859?t=01h08m03s) speaking. I like the gameplay, I like how the water simulation works (especially in HTML!). Sound was amazing! It was fun to play this one
"Finished" the runner :D Good job, nice and smooth inputs, great graphics, too! Even my GF who saw me playing asked me to try, and I think it is quite a great compliment for this kind of game - person who doesn't play much, asking to try only by the looks. Good job! Untitled.png
Thank you, @darqweful ! Orwell was the biggest reference, I am glad about this comparison :) It's also great that you finished the game (without spoiling for others, I can see that :D) - I was worried if it will be too hard. Thanks for the review :)
@simul thanks for the review! Haha, you made a great way not to spoil, thanks! The thing is that it is the Russian name, so Vasi.... is the second name, while Z and Sh are the first and the last name. :) Thanks for pointing this out, I will add an explanation to the game!
@fabula-rasa thanks! I will do text walkthrough for the game, so you can check Facebook part there and skip it. I will mention you in comment if you are interested! @nerzal thanks! I tried to make the copy/paste function, but it was my first project in Godot, so I didn't find out how to do it in time :(
@fabula-rasa done, you can check walkthrough in game resources! @dagostino-audio sorry for that! :D Thanks for your review :)
@kypello thanks for your review! Yes, that was intentional - Z. has Russian name, so the one from the chat is her second (it is the "polite" way of telling the name) and from profile is the last name. Sorry for making you create FB :D
@gameraccoon thanks for playing and for good review! :) @fabula-rasa I am glad that you liked it even with walkthrough and breaking the immersion. To be honest, I was 100% sure that you can check the page even if you are not registered so it was a big punch from the facebook after I discovered that it is not possible (you can find a workaround even for twitter!). Thank you for coming back and finishing the game :)
@cninja hi, thanks for your review! As far as I know, you can check LinkedIn even if you don't have account there. Moreover, if you start over you can check the walkthrough in the links and start from the same point where you stopped before! :) Good luck! @ayxh thanks a lot! Maybe we will do an add-on as post-LD submission ;) @Zelv what is the problem? We can try to fix it! @dwink thanks! I made an algorithm that create this art from the photos, so it is 50/50 real/self-made :) @daveroony thanks!
@matterlinx thanks! The are a lot of reports about music, we should definitely do something with it :)
@fadrikalexander thanks! We decided to use different photos to support the idea - here is the official database, and there are their personal account, which can be very different! But you are right, it can be confusing: we also tried to choose names that do not exist IRL and make photos in the same style. @mostel Спасибо большое! Да, гиперссылок не хватает, согласен, с ними было бы круче. Но это мой первый опыт программирования за все Ludum Dare (до этого только гейм-дизайнил), к тому же первый опыт использования Godot как движка (до этого мы использовали Unity). Спасибо за отзыв!
@simon-parzer you are right, it is the bug, thanks! It happens only with bank and cop pages, because I forgot to turn it on possibility to come back to pages after "hack" (it would be strange if you were hacked twice :D). Thank you for pointing this out! @abigailcorfman thanks! I agree, I should add this functionality to the post-LD version :)
@train27 I completely understand you! The main problem was that we were 100% sure that it is possible to look to the FB posts without registering. We checked everything other, and forgot to check FB :( When we understood this it was too late to change anything
@publicidadeba haha, thanks! I glad you liked it :) @noble-robot Got it, we tried to check every name to be unqiue, but it seems that we are failed. I totally understand you about Discord part, and originally there was another idea there (Mastodon, that is not logging other persons and with real conversations, not screenshots), but there was no time to find out how it works. Thanks for your review!
@owinmowe @lesinvisible @devemil @borderdestroyer thanks a lot!
@retrome thanks! Those are great ideas. If we will ever try to make it into the full game, we should something like this. @tomtomgome thanks! We did the walkthrough as soon we got info that not everyone has all the socials :) @sibi thabks a lot! I am glad that you liked the game! :)
@marta-vitos thank you!
@dobrila @harrison-dunn thanks a lot for your feedback! :) @johnsensei I don't have Mac, but I did Mac version of this project - not sure if it is working properly. You can try it, I added zip to https://artemiif.itch.io/dig-the-socials . There is also a file how to run it in the archive (there is a solution for a problem with all the LD games for Mac I saw on the streams).
@sleepystudios thanks a lot! @conduit thanks ou for review and pointing out the link thing! I updated the link, you can try new version :) BTW, you don't need to do everything from beginning you can just skip to the part with the link (HSGT)
@stanov thanks for your review! You can skip Facebook stages using walkthrough :) We even did a video as one step :D
@shoc thanks for review! Could you elaborate a little bit more, what did you find confusing? Thanks!
Nice job! Running in circles for eternity until I realised that I need to kill zombies, not outrun them :) Somehow (don't know if it is the bug or something wrong with my system), when I open the game it also opens steam VR application and connects to my VR headset which loads my GPU to 100% :D I liked the visuals and gameplay (missed a aiming with mouse though), music created great atmosphere too.
Finished (I consider the last hit as not happened :D) on the [stream](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007202934?t=01h46m12s). Amazing result for Ludum Dare! Everything is amazing - all you need for the full game is more quantity, more levels / abilities / plot and you can sell it already :D Great result!
Great game! A little bit too hard IMO, it's a little bit frustrating that you always get 1 damage at the beginning of the battle (or I didn't understand how to avoid this) and there is no heal cards. Went down to a Golden Octopus, but the most annoying one was chlorophyll medusa :D Great game, had much fun playing it anyway!
@xiyou I missed the part with deep breath. How should I do that? UPD: understood! Now it is much easier to finish - before I tried to beat it without "holding breath" :D. Now I will definitely beat it (or try to), I liked this one!
3.png Done! Great game :)
Great game! Found it from Ludum Dare Phone Booth guys. I liked the art style, music and humour. The ending is really funny too :) Not always you have so much fun from the LD game.
We played the game on the [stream](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007202934?t=01h12m57s) and while my GF had the hard time with inputs, I had a lot of fun playing it. I have no idea how the guys got so many points in leaderboard, but I will definitely beat this one! (someday)
Finished the game on the [stream](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007202934?t=01h37m56s). It is great! First of all, I liked the idea to make a NES-game with all the restrictions it make. The mechanics is nice and interesting (thanks for the bug on the final level - I would never beat it without it :D), frog is the cutest little thing I saw and the music fits really well. Had fun playing it!
Nice game! As I stated here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1002881859?t=01h38m44s , I really like the idea of combining clicker-type progression (like spend more - swim more) with a real gameplay that was interesting. We played this game a little bit after too, really nice submission!
First of all - incredible result for the Compo. I've got only 5/7 items, but was able to finish the game. There are some thoughts that I have (nobody asked for advice, I know, but I just wanted to share :D ): 1. Lootig mechanic and "buying upgrades" mechanic were a little bit useless, in my opinion. I finished the game from the second try having only upgrade for air. At the same time you could save that time to make it "single run" game but with oxygen in some places to make it more tense 2. I understood that having cello was thee main mission, and it could be frustrating to get bak, but I would like to have an option after I found it - continue my exploration or go to surface. But these are like not really important thoughts, because I loved the game - I liked the controls (and this is from the guy, who had hard time in Outer Wilds :D ), and I loved the atmosphere. Good job!Untitled2.png
@anchorlight while I understand, that you cannot do big changes in the build since it LD, it would be great to see post-post-LD version, I really liked the concept, atmosphere and controls
Great game! I like the atmosphere, and I like how the two scenes after the chase are different from each other. Graphics looks great too! I thought that I solve the second ending (just go back after the chase is finished), but apparently it is not the case. Could you give me a hint?
We finished the game on the [stream](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007202934?t=00h35m07s), and had a lot of fun! The mechanic is really addictive, graphics and music are amazing and immersive. I liked to use hook, and the mechanic itself can be probably expanded to the full-game! I had a lot of fun, great game!
Good experience, but after limbo always have "You died in hell". Is it intended? I jisst use black hole in Limbo level... UPD: I refreshed the page, and now I finished the game. It was quite interesting experience, I liked it! 3.pngBut before refreshing, I died like 15 times just in the level transitions.
The game is so funny! Unfortunately, I felt a little bit dizzy at some point, but I can't explain why (maybe I was too good? :D) - I even play VR games and everything feels alright. I made a pause and continue playing and it was alright afterwards. I liked this one! P.S. did you make collision sound by yourself? It felt like khhh sound made by mouth :D
The guy from stream speaking :) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1002881859?t=01h20m17s I liked how simple the game looks and how interesting it is inside. My first thought were "Ok, that will be boring", but then there were some clever puzzles that changed my mind. Great fresh start! P.S. sound is amazing!
Wonderful game! Unfortunately wasn't able to finish - when I grabbed a lantern and turned to a spider, and went to the dark, I decided to do something with lantern. I pressed to the lantern first and got a small window about the bug, then tried to transform it (but there was empty field instead of lantern), and in the end decided to refresh and load - and couldn't do it too. If it will be useful, I already have whiskey scotch, transformed to health bottle (didn't drink it yet, though). When you will fix it, could you mention me in the comments? Looking forward to finish it, I loved this kind of puzzle.
UPD: Loaded the previous save and finished the game. It is great, looking forward to try your other games that mentioned there! UPD 2: http://abigailcorfman.com/OpenSorcery.html do not working.
Great visuals and music! I also liked the part when you understand yourself (I didn't read the tutorials), how gun is working and how to jump far. There was one moment though, that was really annoying (see pic) - this jump was too hard for me, and it is a long way from the last checkpoint. I liked it a lot though, clever core mechanic and interesting discoveries (horizontal part is <3 )Untitled.png
The guy from the stream above here. I was able to finish this laser afterwards, and it turns out that it is not the over! Then it turns out it is not the over again... And then again :D Anyway - here is my best results, 8 screens: Untitled.png
