There you go, 20 ratings! Although the graphics were lacking a little polish (good effort, though), I liked the concept and the audio. It would've been niche to be alerted when you're taking damage. All in all, nice entry!
Very nice, like the visuals and the concept. My movement seemed to freeze every now and then, is that normal?
@jiri-one Linux+Firefox #opensource
@jiri-one That may be, don't know whether GameMaker would have any problems with that.
@jiri-one That's odd, nevermind. Thanks anyhow!
That looks so cool, wish I could try it. (Linux/HTML only :( )
It works wonderfully, thank you! I really loved the concept, it was well executed and properly polished. The narrative was humerous and mildly heart-wrenching. A very good entry indeed! (A bit of music might've been nice.)
A textbook example of good tutorial design: Introduce one mechanic at a time, and don't let them continue until they've sussed it out. Probably the best game I've played so far in terms of visuals and concept. Well done!
An interesting and very challenging concept! Could do with a little polish, but all else is well!
Not a bad entry, liked the visuals and music, controls were rather difficult and a little boring. Liked the procedural generation, although wasn't easy when the exit was near the edges.
Wished there were a small tutorial or something thereof. Liked the idea, nice feel to everything, audio might've been nice, and I couldn't sell myself. Pity. ;)
Liked the idea, well presented, although I did find the controls a little peculiar.
A pretty neat entry, liked the writing and the idea.
Like the artwork, both visually on audibly, nice premise, found the tractors rather tank-like (could perhaps take fewer hits).
What an odd idea! Has a nice feel to it, although it seems to lack something.
Sorry, can't play without a Linux version :(
@designernap Hahahahahaha, indeed, you shall be rewarded for your success ;)
Would've liked a little more description, was rather confused by the mechanics. Things like 'oh, there's a limited amount of ore? Why?' or 'Is the red stuff corruption?' or 'Why is my oxygen going down?'
Would like to play, but I'm currently having difficulty with flash >:( Will try out tomorrow, if all turns out well...
A really nice entry! Good concept, well delivered. Liked the procedural generation, although I didn't notice that the spikes were deadly. Would've been nice to have home-made visuals to fit better and some music to capture the mood.
Wish there were a Linux version. :(
Tried playing it now on macOS using Safari, game loaded and music started but no visuals or repsonse after loading. Will try again later on Linux+Firefox. #opensource4life
Yep, worked fine on Linux+Firefox. My opinion:
+ Concept + Variety + SFX + Shoot speed + Synth - No 'return to menu' - Instadeath with added bloom on extreme - No highscore - Camera (Cinemachine might be worth a look) - Humor
All in all, 4/5.
Like the retro-feel, although I had difficulty finding the controls out and the overall game isn't very innovative.
I like the way the fragments crystallise to form a coherent maze, and the fact that there were multiple objects to be brought to their places of belonging.
Jumping is impossible! And fun. The idea is nice, though not very original and, in browser, it would be good to capture the mouse, so you cloud turn around freely. There was also quite a bit of lag, and the pictures could've been more suited to the other visuals (which are very nice).
Hahahahaha, not bad, love the fact that I can win easily by putting all the boxes by the exit and just push them on. They even float through each other! Was a little confused by the interface and the camera angle was challenging, but all in all I'd give it a 8/10.
Une joue trés jolie. A beautiful game, not too different from mine in inspiration, but one that tells a story rather than provide you with a puzzle. It's heart-wrenching to get a memory wrong, having it be lost for all eternity... c'est une idée trop triste. All in all, a very artistic game, although I didn't find it 'fun' per say. (Corriges-moi STP, je veux entraine ma francais terrible. XD)
Hahahahaha, merci beaucoup!
Like the fact that it had the 'PETRIS' bonus. Good sound and polished graphics, but not very original and a little boring. (Some music might've livened it up too)
That was... unexpected? Fun idea, but fiendishly difficult for poor old me. XD
What a good idea! Needs some polish, but nut a bad entry all-in-all.
THE STUFF HAPPENING!!! Well, 5 stars on the visuals there. Didn't find the concept too inspiring, but it was well executed.
I believe I've seen a similar game, also from a french developer, this LD. Loved the crisp & clean aesthetics, although reading tons of text isn't really my thing. All in all, une bonne joue avec une air trés plaisant. (Corrige-moi stp, j'ai une orthographie terrible XD)
Tu as raison, j'ai des difficultés avec le/la etc. XD Thank you for your kind and supprotive feedback ;)
Wish I could play, HTML5/Linux only I'm afraid :(
@paveldlouhy I see! Thanks for the heads-up!
I found it very difficult and mildly confusing, although I did enjoy the music and the artwork. It also seems to be a fitting entry.
Pity I couldn't try this game, HTML5/Linux only :(
Lovely mechanic, like the fact that the dead cells still have physics.
A lovely, nicely packaged game! Beautiful audio, but not too new of an idea. All in all, nice entry!
Vigorous visuals, snazzy SFX and giddy gameplay. A good addition to the ranks of LD42! Pity you didn't manage to get all the things you wanted in...
A nice first entry. Liked the very original take on the audio, but had difficulty understanding the mechanics (what's that thing in the middle? Why are there different files? Are some stronger than others? etc.). Having a huge idea is a very difficult thing to deal with, especially under time pressure, but that's what practice is for ;) . If you get the chance, try improving your English by reading or watching videos with subtitles - it can help a lot!
@turbo-torbo Glad you enjoyed it! @devio I agree, I couldn't figure out how to convey it without using actual instructions... Thanks for the feedback!
@historymaker118 Brilliant!
@telefrag-entertainment Very happy to hear it! @james-dunlap That's really kind of you, thank you.
@zeaga Thank you!
@kaitlin-quick Hahahahahaha, that's good to hear. Thanks!
@stevenjmiller Wow! A picture, handmade, for *me*? Yes, I had had something like that planned but I was far too close to the deadline to add it in I'm afraid. Thank you!
Thank you!
@pace That would've been a very good idea, I had thought of placing the player so it didn't just pop out a single letter before hitting something, but that might have helped. Glad you enjoyed! @frozenfire92 Well spotted! And well done for the score!
@swess Thank you, will do! @awix I was sadly short on time, as I had to compose and practice the piece in an hour (before the others went to bed), which forced me to keep it simple, being the terrible pianist I am. XD But I shall leave more time for it next year ;) Naturally, I couldn't resist your offer to check your game out and have provided my humble opinion. @lucien-catonnet I know, I added 'good words' that remove placed blocks when used, but I didn't get to balance it properly so they were incredibly rare. I love word games too! But BookBinding was just sooo difficult, I hardly got over 110 IQ points. Thank you! @derek-volker I agree, I was working with 8x8 sprites as placeholders and writing the font took ages, so I didn't have any time to pretty things up with nice patterns, let alone colours! But I tried my best to make it look clean and simplistic, instead of making a half-done job of it. Thank you so much! @joloujed Glad you enjoyed! @designernap I know, there really isn't much guidance on that side of things, but thank you very much! @anstabo Don't worry, there wasn't much to read. XD Thank you!
@linus Thank you! That's a really good suggestion! I absolutely agree about the colour, but I ran out of time and didn't have a clue how, so I rolled with it.
@corbak Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
@dasun Thank you so much, it makes me so happy you liked it!
@namnam Thank you very much! I must agree with all the points you brought up there, marvelous feedback! (Ran out of time to do any of them, though :( )
@kapiteinkoekwous Thank you for the wonderful feedback! Mechanically I found it too difficult to make an end, so the player just decides themselves by pressing 'R'. Glad you enjoyed! It was good to see you didn't notice the words could cross (like crosswords/scrabble).
Sorry everyone, was away 'til now! @drtizzle I like to think of it as 'clean' or 'sterile', but I know exactly what you mean! I absolutely agree, thank you! @tulipekoni Glad you like it! Thank you so much for your kind words! @ithildin Wonderful! Thanks for pointing it out, I didn't even think of the mouse, it just sort of worked XD
@drikdrok Thanks for playing! It's not just you, I forgot to play-test it properly and the 'good' words occur far too seldom. Glad you enjoyed!
@danielblanco3d Thank you! Glad you found it intuitive, that was something I really wanted to get right.
@cg-fred Thank you very much! @mukult Hmmm... not sure what you mean there. The mouse aiming didn't work? Or it wasn't clear whether the word fit? Anyhow, glad you enjoyed! @loyance Thank you, glad you enjoyed! @siimer They are, and there are positive words too, but I didn't balance the RNG properly. I agree, ran out of time though (finished 3 minutes before end :O ). Thank you!
@gildar76 Glad you enjoyed!
@quicklyer Bwahahahahaha, my evil plan has worked! Now I shall RULE THE WORLD...maybe. Glad you enjoyed! I agree that the word pool is small and I couldn't think of a clever way to fix the word-over-identical-word problem. Thank you for the feedback!
Glad you liked it! Sorry, didn't manage to get flash fixed to play your game :(.
@rjhelms Thank you!
A simple concept, not something very original though. The music is brilliant though, and the artwork nice! I really liked the Idea of the player getting quicker step-by-step, instead of gradually speeding up.
I found the attack charge very slow, which made the game focus on navigating the terrain. Liked the idea of compression, and all was well communicated. Some music and more polished visuals would've done it a service.
Pity I can't try it, I'm Linux/HTML5 only :(
My, that was incredibly tough! Wish there were a 'slow mode' for useless people like me. XD Absolutely brilliant concept, though I felt it was almost more running out of time than space.
What a smart idea! Like the music, the visuals (although the could be a little more polished) look nice, especially the UI, but I find it a pity that you're almost forced to pick certain abilities... All in all, nice entry!
A challenge! Thought the controls were like snake at first, but got used to it quickly. Not so fun on your own, an AI might've been fun. The idea of putting it on an obstacle course is very original.
Hahahahaha, you got my game's name first, mine's under ludum-dare/42/claustro-1, but how different they are! Always nice to hear your not the only one who's new to this. I liked the visuals, although I found the smooth/pixel hybrid didn't quite fit. The take on the theme is very original, although I'm not sure whether it's 'running out' as you still have the same space, just not visible. All in all, good effort, keep on!
Certainly interesting and suitable for the theme, well done! The visuals look very interesting, though they don't go easy on the eyes, and the audio is very good. All in all, a solid entry.
A brilliant idea, nicely executed, although the instructions were a bit dense. It got very hectic at times!
A pretty good game: funny, nice SFX, pleasant visuals, certainly an unusual concept.
An interesting concept, although I wasn't sure what to do in the beginning and found squeezing anything a challenge with such a small window. I liked the fact that the 'grid' was hexagonal, instead of the classic orthogonal. The squeeze could've been a little juicier (perhaps try recording a tomato) and, purely because I notice these things, I would've preferred e.g. 3/15 compared to 15/3.
I loved the ice boomerang thingy, a great addition. Nice looks, nice sound, quite difficult at times.
Awwww, no Linux :(
Not quite, Unity's only thrown out the .exe file, which is Windows-only. Mac uses .app files and Linux directly takes binaries (either .x86 or .x86_64). If you could export it for Linux though I'd gladly give it a shot.
Doing some last-minute rating, love the look and feel, although I had trouble navigating at first and wasn't sure what my aim was.
An interesting concept, like the challenge of finding 'the perfect planet'. Would've liked some audio though.
Very nice, loved it all, the artwork, the voiceacting, the humour, the contents, everything. I found the anti-aliasing a little strong though and I didn't find it too innovative. All in all, very good entry!
A nice and relaxing game, although I found it a stretch with the theme and would've liked some music to go with it.
Hahahahaha, sounds about right :)
I do like the idea, certainly quite original. Music and visuals were nicely matched. A few bugs, though.
Love the enthusiasm! ;)
Sadly the UI seemed to be larger than the screen? Using Firefox. Will try again if fix possible.
That looks brilliant. Sadly, I've only got Linux :(
A very nice, simple game with surprising depth and nice polish. Can't think of anything I would improve, apart from perhaps some music. Well done!
Well suited to the theme, but you get blocked in very quickly with no where to move...
I LOVE the way the visuals change instead of a standard health/life bar. I found it very difficult, even on the easy setting, but I'm just terrible at these sorts of things in general. XD
Hahahahahaha, lovely animations, nice sound, found the controls very difficult though (almost a little annoying). I would recommend working with transform.translate instead of the physics engine for this sort of thing. If you'd prefer using physics, I might've added more friction to the 2D physics material. Hope that helps you with any future projects ;)
Very fun, like the fact that it has a wide range of support, be it input method or player amount. Found the controls rather difficult though.
Brilliant! Everything works really well together. Not great on mood, but absolutely smashing in fun and theme. A solid 8/10 from me.
PS: How about adding screenshots to the page. Helps marketing etc. ;)

What an odd idea! Looks wonderful with all the coins flying out left, right and center. XD
Found it a little boring I'm afraid to say, but it is very hard making a game using such basic tools. I liked the fact that it takes real-world problems as an inspiration.
A very fun and intuitive game. Love the visuals, the animations and the concept. Would've preferred the block locking into a larger grid (instead of having half-block differences), as the shifting was difficult.
Beating up members of a potentially sentient alien race... What could possibly go wrong? Loved the animations.
My ball got stuck bouncing horizontally XD #playerskills Like the idea, although I found controlling the paddle quite difficult. Perhaps I would've used transform.Translate instead of rigidbody2D.AddForce?
An unusual spin on the classic breakout. Not sure I've ever seen it with multiple balls and missing the blocks... The music got annoying rather quickly, but better have a little music than none at all, in my opinion.
Wooooow, my mind just went for a walk. I'm a QWERTZ user, but that's the same as QWERTY with Y and Z swapped. Would be neat if you could figure out how to freeze it for other systems (that might not have JRE installed).
I could make up for my bad parcour by playing puzzles! Brilliant!
IT'S SO POLISHED! You could sell this! Not that you should, I love donationware (because I can't afford anything *sob*). Absolutely brilliant.
Sound effects, concept and the fact that YOU TRANSFORM INTO A SUBMARINE WHEN IN WATER made this game entirely worth playing. Well done!
Nice art, and although a pacifist myself, I found it unsettlingly satisfying to kill them all... Maybe I'm one of them...
Love the style, the atmosphere, the challenge, and WORDS! BEAUTIFUL WORDS!
I was a little confused and found the frog a little too quiet to understand, but the lipsync! And cute characters! Wonderful.
The HTML version ran out of memory, but a fun concept and nicely executed.
I do wish there were a Linux version.
@Dylan Rainwater A highly relatable problem. Hope I can get a try next time ;)
Nice art, found it fiendishly difficult though!
A really interesting idea. When I was dreaming up a combo, I split genres into form and content and tried to match them as badly as possible... But matching the forms? Genius. (My game turned out completely different, if you find the time I'd be glad if you could give it a spin: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/cruise-co)
.sh is a comparable to .bat files in Windows, so not directly an executable. Any file, so long as it has permission to run and is correctly compiled, as far as I'm aware, can be run on most Linux systems. As for the details on the binaries, I can't help you there, but would be willing to test it for you.
No Linux. No sad :(
This game touches upon an important subject, and does so in a very sensible way. *applauses The aesthetics and the audio work well together, making the whole thing quite polished. The arrows on the road seemed somehow superfluous though and disturbed my experience of the game a little. GG.
Pity there's no Linux version...
@designernap I believe Unreal 4 (I think that's what you're using?) supports Linux ports but I don't use it myself so I can't be sure. iOS is mach harder to port from what I've heard and you'd probably require an Engine that supports it. Unity certainly supports Linux (all the games I played on LD using Unity worked flawlessly) and apparently the other ports are quite reliable, though I assume you would prefer not to change Engines.
@designernap Brilliant! Wish you good luck, looking forward to it!
@designernap Can I be of any service?
I really like the clean and simple, yet not minimalistic style of the game. The gameplay however could be a little more varied, in my opinion.
A really fun and polished game, was a little confused at first but caught up with it after a while. Really liked the artwork, well done!
*in an accent trés français * Absoluement exellente! Vous aves trouver un combination idéale pour découvre des situations idéale avec beaucoup de finesse! (Corrigez-moi s.v.p., and pardon my french.) I loved the concept, the models, Gordon, the music and the highly inspired name. I kept rolling over, but at least the steering was snappier than in my game (https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/cruise-co) XD
So satisfying! And informative! I've never even heard of a larynx, and I've got one! (I think?) Didn't realize at first that there was an HTML version though.
Apart from the fact that I didn't get anywhere and that I'm a terrible gamble, I enjoyed the music and the idea. Sort of old meets even older XD
An interesting idea, could really become a top game with additional polish. I didn't quite see where the theme came in though and some audio wouldn't have gone amiss.
A pity it's not on Linux, would've liked to try it.
That's quite a cute WHAT HAPPENEND!?!?!?!? Absolutely brilliant combo.
Really polished and incredibly fun. Was simply nodding my head to the beat while trying to remember that 'd' is for *turning* right, not moving right. I did it in 2:07! (Terrible, I'm sure.)
I actually won a game! Brilliant, although I would've like to see whether I have enough resources to build something.
Had a little difficulty with the sprite layering, but fun nevertheless.
Took me a while to figure out how to get to the shooting gallery, but I quite like the gritty-isch art and the ever-so-slightly macabre idea behind it.
It's so pretty! Love the art and the idea. The mood it generates is really spooky!
The Linux version won't install, I can't figure out why though.
If i could type quicker, I might have actually achieved something XD A good twist on typing games.
It's so funny in an oddly non-humorous way. Challenging though!
A very well polished game! Loved the artwork in particular! I found the jumping a little hard, especially since the hitboxes semed unforgiving. Well done though, a very good entry!
A very artistic game, sort of reminds me of Antichamber.
Wow, that was intense/fun/enjoyable/epic/[insert further positive adjectives here]. A really polished game, the artwork and the music worked really well with the mechanics, and all in a light and fun but rather hardcore fashion a the same time. Well done!
It works really well if you sway while playing! Brilliant soundtrack, love the sprites (the veggies are so *cute*), really interesting concept. I didn't understand whether it was better to do a meal with a shorter or longer time though, so I just picked the shortest ones with the highest difficulty. I really enjoyed this highly polished experience!
I love it, but I'm definitely the science nerd. I don't stand a chance XD Brilliant combination, just wondering who the enemies are? Probably just paparazzi ;)
@Toulou Aaaah, that explains it!
Is that a derivative work I spy? Fun though, very challenging!
Love the art & the jazzy music, although I found the gameplay very difficult. (Probably just me being a noob.) The Game Over screens are rather funny.
I love the music, so cheerful and contrasting to THE MASSACRE OF DEMONS! PS: Your title here is wrong (set to LD41 Game)
I'd love to leave a comment, the game looks great, but unfortunately I can't run .exe files on Linux :(
Oooooh... Minesweeper with gritty lore? I'm in!
The style, the music, the difficulty, the mechanics are all beautifully balanced. Well done!
I'm afraid I'm absolutely terrible at this sort of thing XD Love the art though! (even on HTML)
@Kensou Gladly given! Would you mind giving your opinion on mine, if you had the time? https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/cruise-co
Would have loved to play, but I'm a Linux user myself :(
It works so well! The idea, the art, the characters, EVERYTHING! Well done!
A pity I can't try it, no Linux.
A really interesting idea, although I'm apparently not programmer enough to handle it (completely relatable)
A brilliant idea, although I had difficulty with the controls. Especially enjoyed the fact that you spawn your enemy! PS: Works flawlessly on Linux, as far as I can tell.
@JackKm Very true and your very welcome. I'd be very glad if you could find the time to try out my game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/cruise-co
Very well polished! I really like the aiming and the fact that you can dodge bullets without having to be quick. Perfect for slow old me!
Reminds me very much of Pen & Paper games, perhaps a little idle.
A brilliant idea! Take the board game out of the board game - genuis! While brainstorming I came up with the idea for a survival chess, but in the end I had something completely different. Always funny how brains work - when they do, that is. PS: In case you're wondering what I did end up with, I got a Racing/Dodge meets Choice game. Would be glad if you found the time to give it a spin: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/cruise-co
Very deep and meaningful, with beautiful artwork and a very 'this world is a fake shell' sort-of feel to it, although I didn't find the gameplay very enticing (but that wasn't the point). Well done. I tried my hand at dad-jokes in my game, and would be very glad if you could find the time to pop by and give it a whirl (although it isn't as serious or pretty as your game in the slightest). Here's the link: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/cruise-co
Beautiful. I started it up and in my head could hear retro synth music. The beeps for the menu just amplified the illusion. I didn't get anywhere in-game though XD
It's beautiful. The lights, the sound, the patterns, the vibe, and on top of all that IT'S ON LINUX. Seriously, I found it great eventhough I had hardly a clue on what was going on.
@Q-ro Brilliant. Wish you luck with getting it done before the deadline!
That was really interesting! I wasn't quite sure how to cancel fishing though and get back to building apart from waiting for the wave to end.
Awww, such a cute game. And the dedication towards your cats: highly respectable.
Found the controls a little hard, but I guess that's normal for hand simulators XD Loved the awkwardness of it all!
Really polished! The timing was really smooth and the artwork works so well! My only critique is that the drones are unfair, more predictable drones would be better in my opinion (similar to flying Koopas in Mario).
Funny artwork and concept, worked surprisingly well! It might have helped to see where you're aiming, but on the whole a successful game!
Rather fun! Walking the large distances and having to restock bombs where a little annoying though... I also really liked the sprite of that blobby monster thing XD
I'm afraid I got stuck after being introduced to my victims. But the creepy? Certainly there.
That was really interesting, thank you for inventing that. I particularly liked the second scene XD (Don't do drugs, kids). You might be interested in my game, as it sort of has to do with an existential crisis, but in a very different way. In case you find you'd like to try it, here's a link to it: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/cruise-co
Watched this in the making and found it very interesting to follow. Having made my first game in this Jam I'd really appreciate your feedback if you can find the time. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/cruise-co
It's really pretty, and hints towards a lore of greater understanding... The mechanics aren't new, of course, but I'm surprised noone had thought of that yet! Well done!
I had real difficulty with the controls, but I'm just not good at typing XD Love the idea and execution, and the sort of "lore" it hints at.
I don't have a controller! Not fair! XD
A really cool and fun idea, although perhaps a little basic. I couldn't read what it said on the game over screen though, it was all somehow squished / cut off. All in all a highly enjoyable game though!
Finally, I am a non-violent Jedi Master! I have achieved great- what? I died? Brilliant game, really fun with smooth controls, would've liked a backhand hit though XD
That is one original combo. This dish of Honest Dan's Trout is expertly blended and garnished with tasteful artwork and audio. A true classic.
Pity it's Windows-only. As a Linux user, I'd have liked to play it.
Pity there's no Linux support, would've liked to have try this, looks fun. :(
@Maxime Catel I can fully relate to that, porting isn't easy, especially if you're doing it on scratch from a Windows machine. I would if I knew how, I'm an absolute noob when it comes to Wine I'm afraid. Where you using an engine?
@Maxime Catel Oh, well you have no excuses then! XD It's dead easy on Unity! But thanks anyhow, looking forward to the next Jam!
SO MUCH DRIFT! But incredibly fun and simple. Would probably be great to play with friends...if I had friends *sob *
@wsKilljoy Truer words were never spoken. I used physics in my game, but I had to severely counteract it with formulas to get it smooth (an I feel it's still a little slow), but the feedback's been positive! Give it a spin if you feel like it: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/cruise-co
Cuetsy slimes! I can confirm this runs on Linux and that the mouse controls are very hard to aim! XD A really interesting concept, nicely packaged.
A nice game, had difficulty with getting the wrong cards all the time or getting squished by the bottom of the screen, but perhaps that was just me being inept. XD Really liked the artwork.
Pity it's not for Linux, looks really polished!
I found you have to go back upstairs to win. I HATE HAVING FOOD IN MY BEDROOM! But seriously, fun idea, lovely meal, cute dog bark.
It's a game where you have a pet giant skeleton snake of death controlled by obsolete technology. I mean *that's* creative. PS: HTML worked for me.
@Kobrar Of course you can!
Can't seem to interact with the game in any way? Or is it just me?
If only there were a Linux version...
@designernap #opensource #freedom #downwithcapitalism #istolethecookies
It's a pity it's not for Linux...
I'm sorry, is the game finished yet? I can't find a link. Please tell me when it's up, I'd love to give it a try.
Was looking forward to playing this game (as you can see by my first comment), but sadly it doesn't seem to be working properly on Linux :( I can download & run the game, but it doesn't seem to be reacting to my input. Are you using an engine?
@Matthew Hrehirchuk You are? That surprises me, all the other LD Unity games I've played so far worked flawlessly. I'm also running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. What sort of a plugin did you need?
You're extracting the 'PlatSCII Linux.x86' file? No need, open up properties > permissions and check 'Allow executing file as program'. Then simply double-click and enjoy! (I know, it isn't that obvious)
@Matthew Hrehirchuk Alright, try right-clicking, 'open in terminal' and type "./PlatSCII Linux.x86" *with* quotes. You know what, this might be easier via Discord. Could I try and call you?
The title pretty much describes my experience. Admitted, it was much funnier than that.
Ooooh, it's difficult, it is.
It's beautiful! The art, the sound, the cute little story... Incredibly difficult I find though and some instructions wouldn't have gone amiss.
The HTML version doesn't seem to be turning up for me. A pity, I'd really like to play it. Using Linux Firefox.
@MateCziner I tried it on the console (browser and native), and the console wouldn't start on either version. Perhaps TIC-80 requires something I don't have? Anyhow, an interesting concept, this TIC. I must investigate this further...
I am Rock-Sensei. I find no flaw.
Love the idea, has a sort of 'we are all friendly but really competitive and NO YOU CAN'T STAND NEXT TO ME'-vibe XD Just a shame that there wasn't time for any music, that would've been le cherry on top.
@Pixels Everywhere Thank you, I was having difficulty with those.
@BlackAtlas Hahahahaha, well done (that's a really annoying, inconsistent bug XD) Very glad you enjoyed it.
@Lecalat I know, I broke it just before the deadline as I was trying to add the voiceovers. @RadioactiveRambo Hahahahaha, glad you enjoyed.
@Tim Eriksen Thank you! I'll take that into account when I work on it next.
@CapnAT Glad I could sway your opinion! Wish I had had more time to improve it though, I love pixel art! @schizoid2k Very happy to hear those frantic recordings were worth it XD @SeaHam Thank you!
@Chris Magnuson Thank you!
@CameronJSamuels Yes, I was thinking of that, I'm planning on making a more legible one in the near future. @Borodar Thank you! Was really tough being so tired and all that XD @PoundTheGroundStudios At least something. What would've made it better? (apart from cyborg nazi alien zombies in frilly dresses)
@coatline Glad you did!
@Kensou Hahahahahaha, thanks, it's so cheesy though XD @JackKm Thank you!
Originally there weren't any lorries, so you actually had enough space to squeeze between paralell cars. @Kichex It's not you, it's a feature for added replayability! (I just couldn't get the difficulty right.) @James-Dunlap I know, RNG. Thank you! @Q-ro Hahahahaha, thanks! Reloading usually helps, the Jerk actually goes down for bad answers and seconds passed (incrasing the likelyhood of getting a "Can I open my door?" or "Daddy look!" swerve), whereas good answers reduce the risk. (Boring) The difficulty is way too high, see the top half of this comment. Glad you enjoyed it!
@agar3s Thank you @reuno "Losing feels great" Never thought I'd hear that XD @LandoSystems Glad you enjoyed!
@saoi-games I wasn't watching at the time, but I caught up on it today and didn't regret it! I intentionally added that in for the observant players so they could discover all the dialogue (no I didn't). Glad you had fun with it! PS: Good job with pronouncing masochistic! Not an easy word that is! @nidup Why thank you, I'm glad it turend out to be a 'quality experience' XD @fasterthanlime Hahahahaha, no worries, most of it is dead ends as I ran out of time. I wish I could've improved the graphics as well, but in the end the placeholders where still there... @Bitten-Toast-Games That's called cheating! XD @vilix64 Glad to hear it! @rajtar Well you could start by creating a post on Kickstarter XD @rosypenguin Thank you!
@Lyje Indeed, I couldn't figure out how to fix that.
@JanWe I agree, I'll work on a better font for next time.
@ctran13 Hahahahaha, what a brilliant idea! Why didn't I think of that before? XD Glad you enjoyed it.
@Drell Now that's some structured feedback! I'll make sure to improve that in the next LD!
@Lewis-Quaife Yes, others have pointed that out too, I'll certainly change the font I use for the next Jam.
@soldierbear Thanks! Yes, that was a problem I couldn't get round to fixing.
@Carvster I agree, I took ages trying to make them quicker but I'm terrible at maths I'm afraid so I couldn't figure it out.
@Jaime-Paz-Lopes Thank you! Yes using only the arrow keys seems to make it easier for both of us XD @Dovakla Thanks! @Rahtainka Brilliant and structured feedback! I'd give you two Karma if I could... @Eudes-Franco Hahahahaha, brilliant comment, I'll have to add that to the a crash texts! (If that's alright with you?)
@phi Hi dad! Certainly an interesting concept, I'll fiddle around with that. @gi11 *No* cars spawned there? Well lucky you, there should be a 1/100 chance each time a car is spawned that it gets put on that stretch of road. Or I messed something up. Or the children sabotaged it. I plan on making the steering more responsive, but I guess until then, it's just another expensive car with heavy gold plating underneath. Glad you enjoyed! @cristiano-m-garcia The pleasure shall be mine. @Introspex At least I dide *something* well XD @TheFlyingKeyboard Master of steering, I bow before you. Everyone else found it really difficult XD
@designernap Thanks! I was thinking that too, and it isn't too much work either. Well, sort of...
@smbe19 That's odd, what about Firefox? I'll do some testing to see if I can figure it out.
@Nannah Thanks! Yes, I couldn't fix the RNG that controlled the car-spawning, and I'm planning on making a better font.
@Ethereal-Psyche-Games The lower your Jerk is, the more likely the children will make you swerve. I admit the swerving isn't very strong when it's there, but it's there nevertheless. I plan on making the steering tighter, but I just ran out of time (as you do). Glad you enjoyed!
@theprint Thank you, I didn't think about it that deeply but now you say it... @ema1ih Thanks! Yes, the steering is hard. @mshopf Yes, I was having difficulty with WebGL 1 early in development, so I took it out and forgot about it. I'll see whether it'll run on WebGL 1 as soon as I get round to it.
@Aim Thanks, was a lot of fun! I didn't get to fiddle around with the RNG or anything around it, so the difficulty is very badly managed I'm afraid. But that was mainly because I was trying to get to grips with things like "leftChoice.transform.Find('Line2').gameObject.GetComponent
@Jonathan-Daar Thanks for the structured feedback! Some really good hints with audacity, I'll delve into that! @Random-storykeeper Brilliant feedback! Not sure why you're losing focus, but I'll see if I can fix it. I plan on speeding up the respawn speed, it's a good idea to have the help separately. Glad you enjoyed!
@Lost-Dutchman-Software Thank you! I'm glad you've learned this important lesson of life. XD
@Sean-S-LeBlanc I couldn't agree more, I learned so much and am really looking forward to the next one! Thanks for the wonderful feedback!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!
It's so difficult! I couldn't get my head round the controls, but then again I'm an idiot when it comes to quick games. I liked the idea and the art though.
Difficult it is! Love the style and music, the rats could be a little cuter and a little less aggressive though XD
I wish there were a Linux version. :(
I LOVE the speedy, action-packed atmosphere and unlockables, don't think I've ever seen that sort of thing in a racing game. Funnily enough, I made an entirely different game also using a racer/dodge mechanic, thoug it isn't half as well-done as yours. I would appreciate any feedback if you find the time, though. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/cruise-co
Shorthands might have improved the experience (e.g. j for jump).
I fell in a hole! XD Well done, not my sport though, aiming was really hard, especially since the ball didn't stop rolling (that it did very well though). The classical music in the background made it a very relaxing and enjoying experience, well done!
Oh dear, I think I'm going to...wait, this is BRILLIANT!
The words made me wonder what the whole 'path' must look like. It could've been a little darker for my liking, darkness lends itself well to spooky games.
A really interesting concept, quite... refreshing? XD
I wish it'd have a Linux version... I'd really like to play this!
I love the music, enjoyed the game, but I do wish the music where synced with the beat of the game.
No Linux. So sad.
I've now decided that I hate deep-fried food. Apart from donuts. And Chips. And those delicious things I can't remember the name of. And shrimps. And... A really interesting idea. Pity I don't have any friends to play with... *sob
I quite enjoyed that, I did. Interesting how you make up entirely different strategies with such similar gameplay. The Tetronominoes each have such a distinct personality, it's wonderful.
I found the controls really difficult, but somehow fitting XD
Brilliant! Great concept, well executed. A little buggy and shabby around the edges, but it's the thought that counts! Well done!
@BenPeterson Precisely!
I wish there were a Linux version...
@MacDoom I'm a Linux user, perhaps I could be of service?
A really interesting concept, with a little more polishing a very good game!
The SPEED! All my car-as-fast-as-a-jet dreams have come true! Love the music and the whole atmosphere the game gives off. PS: Works flawlessly on Linux, as far as I can tell.
Sadly couldn't start the game, but you can upload multiple files on itch.io, including your source files (code, project file or other). Hope that helps.
Pity there's no Linux version, would've liked to play.
A brilliant idea! Although I didn't manage to get any points XD
No Linux, so sad...
A pity there's no Linux version, now I can't play. :(
Who'd have thought of that? It's not a dating platform, but a platform dater! Genius. Love that 4th-wall breakage near the end.
Awww... no Linux? No Web? That means no play for me :(
It's a pity there's no Linux version :(
Very interesting, are the blue potions good and the red ones bad? I wonder... *drinks potion* *turns into a frog* Oh my!
I had real difficulty with the controls, but certainly an interesting combat-maze-sports game, top marks for the theme.
A pity there's no Linux version, I would liked to have played.
Very nice! I personally would've preferred simple clicking instead of dragging, but I love the different levels of cards and the 'mana' mechanic!
A fun idea that works really well in practice, and very nicely made! I'm absolutely rubbish at platforming though, so I didn't get to the end. Would've liked a little chip-set music to go with it though...
A really interesting idea, but far to difficult to pull off if you're not that guy from the Matrix XD
Quite an interesting idea with rolling the die to move & shoot, it wasn't very obvious though how far I could move and when I had used up my AP. Certainly had an element of challenge to it, though.
I really enjoyed that! Although my super-buff sprinkler tower was so buff it shot over most canvases heads XD
Interesting concept, however my three points of critique would be the images being stretched on HTML, the shapes being a different style to the background etc. and the cards having a replenish animation (not a bad idea, but slows down the gameplay). The other imagery is very nice though!
A really interesting twist on shooters, I loved the campaigning changing the people (once an old man got turned into himself XD), and then removing the game out of it. Brilliant. Although the artwork could've been more consistent in my opinion.
The Linux version won't run, it's missing the 'Data' folder.
@Introspex Quite enjoyable!
I liked the idea, the art and the music, though it seemed a little...bland? Maybe it was just the slow start but nothing much seemed exciting. Understandable though for such a short game jam. Well done!
A pity there's no Linux version...
