Thanks for adding the extra sticks near the campfire! Did not venture far, started to hear some strange noises. Decided to head back to camp and throw some of the sticks at the tent, hoping that one of those sleeping bastards would wake up :smile: Enjoyed the game.
Illiterate puddle, hahaha! Enjoyed the game, really wanted a plant that evolves into a plant!
I have to agree, the game is polished and very smooth on the controls! The fast moving ships took me by surprise and panicked a bit :smiley: . A really nice entry, checked your website as well. Keep it up!
@jondkoon Thank you for your feedback! Sorry you didn't get to finish the game. If you want to try again, we've made a few changes and added a hint to the 3rd room :slight_smile:
@camden-obertop Great to hear! We've added a hint for that one.
@guin36 Thank you for your feedback! There were a couple of issues with the ending, but now it's fixed.
@abhimonk Really helpful tutorial! Will definitely use this for the next project. We did manage to correct the pivot a bit, but the animations remain the same. Originally we wanted to add a lot more but time was of the essence. There is an updated version now which triggers the ending correctly. Check it out if you want and thank you for the positive feedback!
@gal-afik Thanks! We increased the speed just a bit.
@silentmrdave Thanks and I'm glad you got to the last room, hopefully the ending triggered! We did release a fix for this and the game can be completed.
@charlez245 Unfortunately there was an issue with the slider for time left to solve the puzzles. We released an update since and now everything can be completed and you most certainly can fail the game! Check it out if you want :slight_smile: . Thank you!
@geojax Didn't expect this much feedback, thank you! :slight_smile: . Our initial idea was to have areas where you could recharge the fire, as well as multiple tilesets to use. As you probably know, time is short and some things needed to be skipped. We had planned 10 rooms, multiple other puzzles as well as more animations and enemies with appropriate AI. The camera switch was inspired from Binding of Isaac, sorry you got dizzy.
If we have some time, we'll either add the checkpoints or a way to recharge the fire. Would prefer to have people finish the game, than get stuck and start over. This way everyone can experience the whole story, including you!
@colozz @link @duke Thank you! We could have done more with the fighting but for me it was the first time implementing something like it.
@kiddychris In the room with the riddle, if you get close to the door a bunch of skeletons come to life and one hints the word to use in the riddle, it's "darkness" :smiley: . Thanks for playing !
@daniil-tcyvakin Thank you very much for your insight! Really appreciate the time you've put in it. I've taken notes of all the given feedback and we'll definitely try to improve on our next one.
About the colliders, it's so tricky to get it right. If I made them smaller, then it would look weird when close to to player or walls. I think it was a matter of mass, if the skeletons would've weighted more, the player shouldn't be able to move them.
I'm glad you've payed attention to what the skeletons were saying as it's a hint for the puzzle. I agree that the text input should be more obvious.
Last part of the feedback made my day, so thank you!
I think this is a very accurate simulator on how it actually happens! :smile: Nice entry!
What an enjoyable and complete game. Really nice entry! I knew from the start that the fire was up to no good!
Almost passed level 2! :smirk: . My friend is still trying!
Great job on your first project! Keep it up! I enjoyed the game and it's a nice entry. I think the controls feel a bit off and when asked to use the mouse, it was strange for me.
Got to 85 first try :slight_smile: I would have liked to use all the abilities, but after using the second one, the queen was at 30% and got outnumbered quickly. Maybe you can tweak those numbers a bit, but besides that a solid entry ! Enjoyed it!
I think the link to your game is broken :slight_smile:
I enjoyed this game. Took me a while to get through the maze but I managed. The PILE put me off course for a while. I actually mapped the game so I can navigate better :smiley:
best_winner.png
I like this writing! I hope you're making $ out of your talent. Are you a quest designer or dungeon master? You nailed the atmosphere and when I saw crap.png I knew it was inevitable. One of the best experinces I've had so far. Do the player stats help in any way?
Fun little game! Took me a while to get how to collect the nuts, but once I did..
bears.jpg
Game freezes for a bit with each wave. Probably during the spawning phase. Some of those lumberjacks can be very stealthy :smile: hard to target behind a tree.
end_game.png -> Wave 23 ! Wohoo
I really enjoyed it.
What a great idea you had! Really nice game. Loved the run animation, particle effects, and humor. Also, congratulations on your 19th LD entry!
That duck walk animation is great :laughing: I never thought I'll see a duck firing a block of fiery cheese!
I didn't expect phase three on the rat which was pretty cool. There's one thing though: the cheese's color is the same for the boss and you can't dodge it very well.
Well done!
Really nice art style! Inclined to ask how you manage to get it to look that way. Unfortunately, I got lost and didn't manage to finish the game :slight_smile:. Really neat experience!
“the terminal velocity issue” I like that one :slight_smile: . I had no idea what was going on when I started the game. Controls were all over the place. Are we in space? If not, maybe have the ship slow down once you have no key pressed. I enjoyed the music and the fact that the beat connects with the UI. Nice job!
@nick-saulnier @benk86 Thanks for playing guys! Unfortunately I was extremely tired when I went to sleep and I had left an old build on itch. It has been updated since and it's working :slight_smile:. Would appreciate it if you'd give it one more go! There was some issue with videos playing inside WebGL, but that's sorted out.
@benk86 You're right! I'll try to add that at some point. I even forgot about the boot sound of old systems... Thank you for playing!
Thank you all for the feedback and for playing the game! Means a lot.
@abdonatioera I've had more planned but time was short. Added some more now if you care to try. @100th-coin Pong now has "AI" @confidant17 Sorry about that, it's been fixed. Have another go if you'd like. @enjl Your feedback is noted and I've made a few changes. Removed the FTL texture and the timer now advances, as it was bugged :smiley: Good ideas! @conduit-games I added a few more tasks, but not too many.
@caudatecoder I see what you did there :smirk:. Thank you for playing and for streaming!
Realized by watching the video that I have to change some small things, like stopping players from clicking the tick boxes. Doesn't mark the task as done, but you might think it is. So thank you, it was great to see someone actually playing the game, got a lot out of it!
Can't put this better than the other comments. It's meta and a very accurate description of how it is to participate in a game jam! Nice job on doing this in 3 hours!
Haha! Steals individual fruits from the grocery store - Lubbock. Didn't know what to expect when I saw a table falling from the sky :smiley: This Lubbock guy is op. Nice game guys, keep it up!
What caught my attention the most was the enemy AI, great job! A solid and well-polished game with neat art. Can see it on the top pages for sure.
Once you get the XR, you're OP! :smile: Indeed, would have liked the difficulty to scale up a bit. Nice entry guys, keep up the good work.
Nice job! A complete and unique entry for the Compo. I did notice that the Police Force stops going up at some point and I'm not sure how to max it out (or if it's even possible).
Tell me, is there any relationship? :laughing: longboi.png
I pretty much agree with the above comment and I would like to add that it takes a while before you can afford a second satellite. Maybe have that happen in the third wave :slight_smile:.
I believe I have the world record :smirk: and I think this is the best form factor! wr.png
Overall a really neat experience. I like the visual queues you get just before the hammer appears. Art is amazing!
Rambo Corgi with an AK! That is amazing. I also found that Speed is a really good upgrade early on as you might have intruders from the other side already hitting the house. I spotted the minimap a few rounds in, that's also really useful. Worth maybe making it a bit bigger. Great submission and complete experience, guys!
The mech art is really nice! Loss of control is an interesting game mechanic in this case. Quite surprised when I saw the big mechs spawn.
I agree with some of the comments mentioning having some visual queue on which direction is broken. Well done!
Interesting game and concept. I tried to press the letters in order for some reason but in the end I got that you have to use the correct letter per spot. Are the letters given based on the missing spots? So if your missing spot something resembling an "H", you'll get something that resembles this?
Man, going through those tight spaces with a big fleet hurts! :smiley: I enjoyed the game. The synth music is great and it fits perfectly.
Couldn't agree more with what everyone else already mentioned. You guys made a very interesting and complete game! I only want to mention that the RMB is actually the LMB for me. LMB and Scrolling is a bit hard :smile:
Enjoyed the game a lot! I noticed that you can upgrade the missile and wormhole module only in order to win. While the missile module is defending you can charge lvl 3 wormhole. Game has a lot of potential for mode content. Liked every aspect of it.
@just-dzhi @braktheman I hope you managed to finish the game though :smiley:. If there's too little time, I can increase it.
@genroa Thank you for playing! The sentence is one of four. @nanamaki There is a piece of paper on the table that can help :smile: I think I need to update this.
@vincent7 @mar-zockmeister @fabula-rasa @hinesite Thank you for playing, I'm glad you liked it!
It's random out of 4 phrases. Unfortunately I think you just got the same one on reload. Good idea with the skip, if I get some time, I will add it.
I pretty sure I'm doing it wrong :smile: I liked the concept and the music is perfect.
graves.png
I guess I'm not the smartest tool in the shed :smile: Enjoyed the game!
What a nice game! Well designed and complete. Seconds try I noticed that I can cancel my drawing. "Lightning never strike twice in the same place"? Lies! :smile:
Had a lot of fun with this game! Haha
I liked the game but I have to agree that a bit of balancing would be good. Mech upgrades should be a bit more visible. Nice entry, good job!
Favorite game so far! Enhance - Enhance - Enhance - B-0-FLOW is OP :smile:
How could you say those sheep are not that bright when they can start running on two legs! Nice game, gets a lot harder once you reach level two. Enjoyed it!
I really like the concept of this game. I remember there was a multiplayer game in which each player would have to build the level in order to either trick the other players or get to the finish (forgot the name). A lot of potential for future development :smiley:. Good entry!
Hey! You owe me a monitor! :smiley:
Wow! What a nice experience. Salaryfish everywhere :laughing: I didn't quite catch what the jelly fish was doing there. You guys did a really good job all around. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting take on the limited space theme. Mood was there for sure. I have to agree with @raaph , glad he didn't get to waste 9k on Dubai. Would be nice to have some alternate ending to the story, where maybe he does go through the whole month :slight_smile: .
Haha, nice name! I definitely didn't think about a subway when I saw the title for the first time. :smiley: Would be nice to get extra pardons when you get to a new station. Welcome to Ludum ! Enjoyed the game, a complete experience. I tried to catch the fast moving person because of the colors, thought it was some extra pardons for some reason :slight_smile:
I managed to get ending 1 and 3 :smiley:. Nice game, good job!
Spot on with the theme. Nice little game, congrats on your entry!
This song will be stuck with me for a while! Nice entry and the puzzles were well thought.
I managed to get to the end by just running from the enemy. The character can't go over the green bumps if walking, sometimes the enemy either. In the last part I got completely lost for 5 minutes :smiley:. Nice entry!
Interesting take on the theme, I like it. I get a small freeze when pressing space but other than that, a nice game.
I have to agree with @megzneko, some labeling would be great :slight_smile: Overall, nicely done guys!
Had fun blowing up the bees! Would have loved some more things to blow up. Well done!
Really enjoyable game, guys. Well done! I only managed round 11 but will keep trying. Would have been nice to have some hints on what each combination does. Sometimes I lose two strength before attack, sometimes I gain, not sure what to combine :slight_smile:
Thanks guys, much appreciated!
@ghosttori You just have to deal with it.. some ducklings never make it back :slight_frown: Glad you like it!
@universeflow Yeah, the plan was a lot more things to be added, but hey, maybe in the future! Quack!
@skizil @danb18 Agree, the background needs a complete rework as well as the collisions.
@jhax @morepixels QUACK!
@rockers It's exactly what I was going for, duck can get stuck, they are slower, harder when there are more. :smile:
@the4thcircle Great feedback, thanks! I used a crappy font, it suppose to be 0 / 7, sorry about that. Agree with you on everything, however I wanted to make the ducklings slower and harder to move around the terrain (which needs a complete rework)
Would be great to have some kind of indication on what sigil combination does what. Maybe Mana spell, basically instead of waiting a turn, you can buff yourself and use a mana spell. Nice entry, graphics are really good!
Managed to finish it, second try! Amazing idea and implementation. The sound really gets to you and the music is amazing. I think you guys can add this project, imagine multiplayer :smile: . Great entry! At first I was just running around in the middle saying "Ahh this is all about me!". I was wrong!
Well done guys! The sound fx used were nice, everything fit together. One thing though. Not sure what's supposed to happen once you destroy all the portals :slight_smile:
Heya! I have to agree with everything that has been already mentioned. :slight_smile:. I managed to summon a couple of demons but I didn't contain them unfortunately. The idea is great and can be developed further. Well done guys!
Wow, you guys did an amazing job on all fronts! Top notch! I did encounter a bug when throwing the dice. One of them went on some strange path and it didn't fall ok on the board. I had to restart the games as it was stuck at "Aim ...".
Took me a while to get it, but once you understand, it's quite fun :slight_smile:. Might be nice to have the first hint of the language from the first day. Nice entry, well done!
Am I doing this right? :laughing: pew.png
"Pro" tip: Plant trees in the same place. :wink:
Really enjoyable game, dind't get to Dragon yet as my framerate dropped like the Titanic. Well done!
Cat is great! I'm a bit confused on what I have to do. I got to the big candle, used the flame thrower and dodged the attack. Candle shrunk and then I went left in the dark area, where it was really tricky to navigate. Not sure if I was suppose to be there :smile: Nice entry, well done!
Nicely done guys. I did encounter a few small issues, I couldn't walk left for some reason sometimes. Other than that, cool little entry!
Burgers be looking kinda good! Well done! Gotta have some cucaracha spice, mmm
Managed to get to stage 12! I find this game enjoyable and unique! Music good, gameplay good, solid entry. :slight_smile:
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't we suppose to have the game made during the 72h up and running? And not the feature updated version?
What's the point of this game jam rule if we're not respecting it? It's a cool idea and by all means add the new features, but keep the version you made in 72h up.
Your link to the HTML version is probably the one that gets accessed the most, and that is your latest version of the game.
It's not fair to others that actually spent the weekend doing this game jam, myself included. You continue to improve the actual live game and with that, you have an advantage over other people when it comes to rating.
From your description and blog post, it seems that you spent time on this game during jam hours and if **all** versions of the game are "post-jam" why is it marked as an JAM entry?
First day, got sick :( at least I won a fight. Using missles to protect camels is rewarding :)).
Only 5120 ! I guess that's pretty good. Fun little game, good pun :D
Well, at work now so I got about 8 hours to have this on my screen :D Any chance we get some cookies at the end ? ..maybe I'll leave it on till tomorrow.
Didn't do much and got a bit of score :). Artwise this was very nice, but a bit buggy. Hope you fix those issues, good job!
What an original and cool idea! Congrats! Everything is very well put together!
Loved the retro graphics and audio. Game feels polished!
What a happy couple :)) Solo play is also fun, just use both wasd and arrows!
Hei @hkoisumi, thank you! Will visit and rate ! :D
Thanks for the feedback @Eldemarkki @Kaarel @Borodar ! Definitely needs some fixes and tweaks, we'll gladly fix them once the rating is over :D
Thanks guys! @tthe @theArtifacts the timer issue has been fixed and now the round ends when all letters are picked up. I've noted down your suggestins and we'll improve when rating is over :). Controlls will definitely improve.
@thibautpierron we will add a hint button or make it so the word is visible, thanks !
@boblova Yeah, controls are a priority once the rating is done.
@seanale I was thinking the same, with a bit of work this can turn up to be just that, but more fun. :D
@human-writes-code We'll continue to improve every aspect of the game, thank you!
@folex70 Glad you liked it ! ;)
@fitz13 Thanks for the feedback! The feature to drop a letter is there, but never got to implement it :) Will do after rating is done.
@raoul friend of mine mentioned that this might happen. Will change to Arrows. Thanks!
@anthony-krafft thanks for the feedback ! The feature will be implemented in the same way you pick up the letters, you go to a spot and you can delete as many as you want. I'm sure you got it the second time around ;)
@Wevel @Timco thanks guys! indeed these are all things that we need to improve, and we will :D
Sensitivity is a bit too high, I think. But, I like the idea, good one.
This comes close to Hansel and Gretel :D. "Hei there kid, come by my house, I have food" !EATS THE KID! or maybe she eats the kid after a few sandwiches !! 😂 Anyway, I liked it !
Nice graphics and idea. Got used to the controls after a while :)
Just stunning graphics... Gameplay is very smooth as well, didn't get to make them squabble though :D Congrats!
Got a score of 4, 2 of which were with the finish line close to the ball ;) Good job!
