Yeah, we had technical problems so we got a late start and just couldn't get more levels finished, I plan to fix a bunch of the issues and add more levels once I buy a license for Craftstudio, but until then I can't edit any of the art or game mechanics. Thanks everyone for the feedback though!
Really fun game with great mechanics for only using 1 button. The graphics look really nice and give off a cool mood, only thing I can think of that would make it better would be some good music.
It's a pretty cool proof of concepts, procedural land for a game where you sale sounds fun. Though with no sound and no collisions it is a little hard to play for very long I think. Even a looping sound of seagulls and waves could really add a lot to the atmosphere. Tech wise I think it's fantastic though, and quite amazing that the generation animation could function through the web player!
The art and the use of gravity are fantastic. The music also sets an interesting mood, though I'm not sure how well that meshes with the visuals of the game. Think some SFX might add a little bit but since the game is in space it seems it makes sense. Simple yet enjoyable overall though.
It's a pretty cool game, lots of fun, some of the sound fx are a little jarring but I liked the game a lot, only problem is that sometimes you can be blocked on on all 3 sides with the wrong colors at the start, but it's not the biggest deal in the world.
Really fun little game, loved the graphics, animation was smooth, controls were super simple and easy to understand, gameplay has lots of potential, music and lighting helped really set a cool mood. Good job!
Fantastic game, it just fits the theme so well and the gameplay is very relaxing and the dialogue seems quite inspiring! Great music too, overall just amazing!
Interesting concept, was pretty tough though, especially since the random generation normally causes you to not be able to get to any planets before the end. By the time I actually took off from the first planet there was normally only 4 seconds left and the turning is floaty (makes sense in space) so only a close planet directly in a straight line from the rocket starting point really is plausible to get to. Even then I could never get more than 2 seconds on the timer by hitting the wormhole things for more time, even when being super close to the planet's surface, they simply didn't spawn enough for me to collect enough, I feel like I would have had to play for up to 5 minutes on a planet before having enough time to get to the next one. Either way, the concept is pretty cool. I feel like if the acceleration on the rocket was just a little bit better I would have been able to enjoy it a lot more. And the concept is pretty awesome.
Interesting game, though the movements felt really floating, which made it seem like I had a lot less control, which is important in a timed race of sorts. The game looked nice and the concept was nice and simple though, followed the theme well.
Fantastic game, love the music reminds me a bit of Golden Axe, the controls and movement was smooth the graphics were nice and the pacing was great too! Good job!
Fun little game, I really liked the bass music. The 3d spins when you pick a face is cool. Though the game is incredibly simple I did find it to be a bit addicting for a while. Good job! The faces were pretty funny to look at too and the way the eyes moved helped liven things up.
Cool art style, the sound could get a little annoying after a while, but overall it was really fun. The gameplay set up was pretty well done too.
Fantastic artwork and interesting gameplay with simple controls, though I felt like I stuck to walls quite a bit, which cut into the timer a lot leading to some frustrating restarts. Also there were some times where I felt like I got stuck entirely unless I restart, but I might have just not understood the puzzle.
Fantastic game, love the mechanics, didn't take me that long to find the instrument dealer either, is there a reason you used backspace instead of spacebar or something, it would be nice to be able to handle moving and time travel with the same hand. Either way, for such a small development time I feel like the concept and the amount of content is great! Good job man!
Fun game, much more interesting as a party game compared on single player. Even then though it seems a bit too simple. A little bit of ambient music could be interesting, or party music, could switch it up to throw people off. Even so I liked the art and distractions. Overall it was a fun time killer.
Interesting idea, it really fits the theme. But it gets really hard, and it's hard to determine damage output between the different weapons so it's really hard to determine why one would be better than another. In the end it turned into more of a guessing game of trying different turrets in different spots without much strategy. The set up seems pretty much bug free other than sometimes turret selections not registering, but it kept my interesting for a while. Good job!
Awesome looking game, and the mechanic sounds fun. But I found lining up to possess things is nearly impossible, and I ended up having to wait a long while for a slime to come back from the narrow around you can't normally access. The mood of the entire thing is fantastic though :D
Fantastic game! The controls were tight, the concept was cute and the puzzles were fun and easy to understand. The pacing was also really good and the use of the theme was wonderful. Good job!
Very interesting and creative game. Though I had to do go through the controls multiple times to really understand what was supposed to go on. I had the problem of getting stuck on the green blocks too, they looked like grass so I figured that they were something you could walk on. The sounds could be a little overwhelming though. Overall I would say the game is crazy, but has good points.
Awesome little game, was a little confused about how it used the theme at first, but seeing how it rotates every 10 seconds it makes more sense. The gameplay itself is fun, and the jiggle from hitting things is almost rewarding enough to not want to dodge things! Either way its a good looking game that played well.
Amazing game, love the use of the clay, the music was fitting and nice and the puzzles were really interesting, only thing was that it didn't really seem to fit the 10 second theme, nonetheless I loved every second of it.
Fantastic game, loves all the minigames, didn't take too long to figure out the rules to them either. Awesome job, only thing missing is music, but the whole thing was extremely fun. The first puzzle was pretty hard, but it was still doable and made getting to the meat and potatoes of the game that much more rewarding.
Fun game, the wall jump could be a little weird, but it was really fun overall. Awesome job! I absolutely love the music, reminds me a lot of the music from the Disgaea series.
Great game, the way the text shows up on store fronts is a really neat idea, and I feel like it's a pretty deep/educational message given by the game, got a little confused at times when I was "earning money" and it went back to zero. Also when I click at the end and it says Click to End nothing happend, is it supposed to do that? Or is that just for the non-web versions? Great job either way!
Interesting little game, the graphics are really nice but I felt like the controls were a little strange feeling. It's a pretty design helicopter running type game. The sounds could be a little high pitched at times. But other than that, its a pretty solid game.
Pretty darn creepy game, the ghost model isn't the creepiest, but I'm glad its more ambient and less of a jump scare kind of game. I really enjoyed it. The door creaking sounds and everything really helped as well.
Larzan, how did it get skewed? Not sure what could be wrong, but if you could give me details on what version of the game you were playing, full screen or not, and maybe a screenshot if you have the time, that would be super helpful, thanks for playing everyone! :D
Thanks! I actually talked to a friend of mine who does writing and stuff, so he can help me make various different cases to solve (and do better voice recordings). I was hoping to do at least 3 random cases, but time constrainst sort of stopped that from happening...
Interesting concept, extremely good use of the concept. The graphics are nice too, though its really hard to pick up a rock, even when I was lined up right the claw seemed to go right over, I might be doing something wrong.
Some ambient radio sounds or spacey noises could have helped a lot with the mood. But I guess it in in a spacey vaccum...
Some
Interesting game, when falling off the building I fell through the floor into some weird glitchy space rather than falling through the manhole though, which was odd, it seemed random once I finally got to the next scene. The plotline was interesting and the gameplay overall was smooth. That robot at the beginning was incredibly annoying though, might wanna tone down that audio for it. Othewise, great job!
Awesome game, the aiming is a little awkward but everything else is fantastic. I absolutely love the music and the bouncing vegetables and fruit.
Awesome job, didn't think there would be real multiplayer on any of these entries, the gameplay works really well. Only main thing is I wish there was some sort of score/rounds so that winners could somehow be declared. The controls were intuitive as well and made for some fun arcadey fights.
Amazing game! Took a while to figure out how it all exactly works but once I did it seems really cool. Definitely a very beautiful game and the sound really helps set the mood really well. Awesome job!
The yellow door confused me a little bit at first. Fun game, that teal shape room was rage inducing though. Since it is such a simple game graphically, even a little bit of ambient noise or a ticking timer would have helped it a bit. Great job nonetheless!
nice visuals and the controls worked well, near the end things got a lot harder that I would have thought and the 10 seconds of fuel was an interesting take on the theme.
interesting game, though in one level I apparently through the ball hard enough for it to disappear, then on the later stages there were lots of areas where the ball would easily just get stuck and I had to just wait a while for the countdown to finish. It's an interesting take on a mini golf sort of game.
Nice job, it was a cute series of mini games with an interesting twist. Also love how simple the controls are. Awesome job!
The navigation was a bit buggy it seemed and it's hard to really figure out how the mechanics work, which makes surviving hard to figure out too. When I played I guess my blue guy got stuck between buildings and I was left without the ability to click around while he I guess went through a few countdowns to get onto another building. Overall I was just confused. The level looks nice though.
Interesting concept, the interface wasn't the most useful, it always said I was using engine component 0 or 1, but if there is just 3 components for each 10 seconds, Should it list components 1-3? I felt like I was doing something wrong because it was red text and never knew when it was going to move until later on when I just started seeing similar patterns. Feel like with a little more direction/polish it would be a lot more fun from the get go. Looks nice and the concept seems like a cool idea though.
Cool concept, the controls were easy to understand and worked well. The theme seemed a little tacked on but it works. I do with there was shortcuts for the other controls rather than just stop though. other than that it looks nice, sounds nice and plays nice.
Short, sweet and hilarious. Think it's the first LD27 game I played that had humor in it. Good job!
That is a great game, the controls were a little floaty, but it worked pretty well overall. The concept is fantastic and works well, pretty addicting and it fits the theme well too. Great job!
Great game, loved the gameplay, and I never thought about modifying the html file to add the controls, very helping. I never could seem to get enough currency to buy power up. I'll I understand I'm supposed to send packets I wasn't sure how I am supposed to know how many I should send. Overall it kept my attention pretty well though.
Interesting game, I always liked a sort of "the floor is lava" idea. The controls are a little wonky but it was still pretty easy to beat. I really liked the pixel style of the textures! A little bit of audio I think would have helped it a lot too.
Interesting game concept, For some reason the game ran extremely slow for me, but the nice little music loop made it tolerable. I was using firefox on an older computer, not sure if that's the reason it was so slow or not. Great game overall though.
Awesome job. The visuals were interesting and helped make counting a little harder, especially the horn from the boat! The ending was a nice touch as well, the whole thing oozed personality and mood. Nice job mixing 2d in a 3d space.
Great game, the art style is really nice and the ambient sounds also work well. The controls seem very organic too. My only problem is the random spawning of the animals can make 1 try go really well while the next you get stuck with an animal to hunt without it really being in the level yet (it seemed that way anyways after running through the whole level once before finding a second rabbit) but the scoreboard is a nice touch too. Awesome work!
Great game! At first I was confused, but once I actually read the text it all made sense. Very interesting way to use the 10 second rule, reminds me of lot of old NES games. Well done!
Great job, the mood was interesting and the gameplay was simple and smooth. A little music would have gone a long way, maybe even just some footsteps or a blaster sound. Either way, awesome work!
Interesting game, the controls were pretty hard to work with. Not sure if it was on purpose or not, I didn't have any trouble reading the text for the most part. Very interesting take on the theme. I feel like a little bit of context could have been added using imagery or sound though. I didn't realize that it was a phone conversation the first few tries.
Amazing job, the sprite art is really well done, the gameplay was interesting and had decent pacing and the controls worked really well. I really like with a little bit of music it could have really set a mood of some sort. Otherwise I feel like it was really good!
Great game! Loved the graphics and the concept. Though it did take a little while to figure out how exactly the whole thing worked, and I dont know if it's a bug or what, but is there supposed to be audio? It says to keep the cursor in the box until the bell rings, but I never heard anything. Might be due to play the web version, not sure, but it was a little confusing but I was still able to win just by waiting until both players turned. Could be good as a 2P game, and if it maybe had some intense music.
Interesting game, love the art, wish the game had sound, and I wish there was a better description of how to actually play, I had no idea how to really do anything other than collect wood and make the fire bigger. I'm sure if I knew how to play though it would have been a blast!
Really interesting game, not sure exactly what I'm supposed to do or how the mechanics work which leads me to not see the LD theme much, but other than that it seems pretty polished.
Awesome job, I love the mechanics and the different levels seem all really well thought out. The graphics also seem really good and the music is very fitting.
Great artwork, interesting gameplay. Really wish I could see my health somewhere, it's weird fighting something and just instantly going back to the main screen. Since I can't see any health bar its hard to tell how careful to be, which is important when its a raise against the clock. Other than that and the little line artifact on the top and bottom doors of rooms I thought it was an interesting simplification of the classic Zelda dungeon set up.
Oh dear, this gives me flashbacks of Mario Teaches Typing, fun game overall, I didn't see anything that seemed object when it came to figuring out how many more passwords to input though. Maybe there was one but I was too focused on the screen to be able to look around. Great looking game though, and the music helps make the game seem more intense.
Interesting concept that is relatable, though the actual movement connected to the slider seemed pretty random or overall finicky, and a little bit of sound or music would have done wonders as well. Stuck to the theme well though!
Love the game, while being simplistic I find the color schemes to work well. The gameplay can get repetitive after a while but the little box seems so lively when it jumps.
Nice game! Really worked the theme well and it makes for a fun short mini game. a little music would probably help, but that can be tough to make in the short period of time. The graphics are very fitting too!
Interesting concept and it worked well with the theme. I feel like it could have been improved with easier movement controls and maybe more forgiving area to use when clicking on objects, if I didn't click perfectly in the center of the shoes for example it wouldn't register as me picking it up. So I guess bigger hitboxes is the word I'm looking for. Since there is a short time limit, the ease of being able to do what I want and pick up what I see as fast as possible is important. The game looks really good though! Although the pickup sound was a bit high pitched.
Interesting game, reminds me of a simplified Pikmin when it comes to the controls. The graphics are charming and really well made, thought the game seemed very basic without any sound or music. The controls were smooth as well. Good job!
Fun game, smooth controls, quite a bit hard. Overall I think the only thing that would really make it better is a little bit of background music. Awesome job!
Interesting game, I feel like it didn't incorporate the theme too much though, the concept of the characters was interesting, the controls made it a tougher game to play, I feel like controlling and aiming made for some unnecessarily harder game play. Other than that I felt the game looked nice and was entertaining.
Fantastic game, the controls worked really well, the concept was fun and the graphics are beautiful. There is an extremely large sense of gratification when you can take out large amounts of fancy men in succession under the time constraints. Really makes you feel like a ninja from the movies. This game would be perfect if it had a little music to go with it. Awesome work!
Fantastic game, the controls could be a little unforgiving at times but overall it was something that you could feel good about mastering. It would have benefitted greatly by some music and enemies that weren't big red balls but that didn't really detrack from the fun of the game. Great job!
Classic gameplay and the new adjustments do make the game more interesting and fitting for the theme. Would have like a little more innovation but it's still addicting and fun. Good job!
Great job, fun fast paced game, though honestly it seems like the wizard is practically useless at the beginning, I couldn't find a reason to use anybody other than the warrior. A little bit of music would have helped a lot I think. But other than that the timing in the game seemed pretty well thought out. Nice job! It's a very well rounded game. Once I found that I could hold down the attack button, the time limit didn't seem so bad either.
Nice job, would be cool if the guards had a line of sight, but the way it is definitely adding to the difficulty. Controls work well and the game fits the theme well, I like the sense of urgency from the camera shake!
Interesting game, the graphic style is fantastic, the outlines make for a very original look. The journals were a little obscure, but the game area was small enough that once I figured out how to crouch that I could spam the interact button on everything and manage to move forward. The matter drive thing's sound was pretty annoying, I feel like something a little quieter could have worked well. Other than that it works as an interesting adventure game! Good job!
Fantastic game, uses the theme really well, adding some music would make the great, add a multiplayer race mode would be SUPER fun. Overall I think this is one of the entries I loved the most gameplay wise thus far. Awesome job!
Great game, looks pretty darn polished for a game made in a weekend! Was really addicting and easy to get into. Simple gameplay and great presentation. Awesome job!
The gameplay was pretty easy and the artwork seems completely random, I really wasn't sure what to think of it. Combined with the Castlevania music which I think breaks LD rules a bit, I feel like the game took simple shooter mechanics and a timer and through it together with whatever sprites were on hand. The gameplay itself could be fun, but the aiming didn't seem as intuitive or accurate as I would normally expect.
Interesting idea, the visuals are definately different, was really hard to figure out what was what though, the controls were off but I can understand that do to the time constraints and whatnot. Shame here isn't any sound, with such abstract visuals I feel like even something ambient or procedural for music could have worked really well and audio feedback could help a lot in terms of figuring out if you hit the ground and stuff. good job on finishing! Not sure how you got those visuals in Unity but it's a pretty fantastic achievement!
