Spectacular artwork, couldn't get very far as I'm dead tired. Gameplay is simple, understandable, and incredibly effective. I was trying to think of critique, but my only suggestions were things I found I just hadn't seen yet :) (such as an indicator for tipping points)
An effective use of 3D assets to make a 2D game pop-out and feel more dynamic. I enjoyed how the introduction pushed the player forward, although I felt the difficulty curve could have been steeper from there.
Overall a fun little game that successfully pays tribute to an 'ancient' era of games :)
really cool art style
I didn't really know what I was doing but its got a great art style
@axoona
The zoom was completely wacky, it was just an fov reduction, given more time I'd have loved to implement something proper.
I hadn't considered azerty users, and I didn't even think to make the keys re-bindable, I'll definitely think to do so I the future. Thanks
Does what it says, it is a truly massive fast paced space shooter. The battle felt large, and I was just one ship in a fleet of many.
With great visuals backed up by solid audio, I'm surprised this hasn't received more attention.
My one criticism has to be that I found targeting enemies quite difficult, although that's likely down to my inexperience in space shooters. I think I would have appreciated the option of mouse controls.
Really fun little game. The handling is very difficult, but that is all part of the challenge. Good job!
Although perhaps a little rough around the edges (slidy movement getting caught on uneven surfaces) It definitely provided challenging platform based gameplay. I think that the addition of extra enemies scattered around the level could have helped.
Impressive for a first start-to-finish game in 30 hours.
Functionally different and unique to most other LD36 entries. I think that using the dial phone created the right balance of fun and frustration, and I was curious to look around it.
The description and in-game dialogue implied that there would be walkmans in the game, but I was unable to get there, it may have been my ineptitude, but I thought I checked every option.
Interesting concept, but could do with some work.
Really well made game with an awesome art style!
Awesome game. Could do with adjustable sensitivity.
Great and original concept.
The terminal works perfectly, and I was taken aback to find it was fully functioning, and that I was able to request real youtube videos (to be honest I was expecting a mockup homepage with a few short clips).
Unfortunately I was unable to get the VCR to play any of the videos, I'm assuming this is a bug. I checked my firewall a few other things, but I was unable to get anywhere.
@tylerdoggone that was pretty much the mindset with which it was created. I've had a few ideas for level generation, but not that enforce a discernable difficulty curve.
@torcado Thanks, I hadn't noticed any lag when I was testing, but I'm pretty sure I know why you were getting it. The level calculation/wall placement is optimised about as well as a 600ft tall pint glass. (It actually replaces all items upon change)
@Jimbly During production, I did notice a lot of worrying similarities to that game where you join the dots with lines and whatnot. If I were to expand the game further I think I'd focus more on abstract room shapes, and many items to surround.
I hadn't heard of Joseph Beuys before, but playing this has lead to my further reading about him, if partially in the hopes of finding out how he hugged the coyote! (Which I still haven't managed to do)
A Clever little game, though the only way I ever found gold was killing enemies.
Very nice. Fun little game with nice graphics and audio.
My only criticisms would be that the ending felt slightly abrupt, and some kind of visual queue for the bomb detonation time would be nice. But otherwise a very solid and well polished entry.
Didn't quite understand it at first, then it blew my mind, had to show it to others as well.
Yup 404 for me as well
Nice ending by the way, when the door opened... I'll say no more.
Very atmospheric, plays into the theme nicely. Glad to see you got the 404 fixed, it was worth the wait.
I got to 270.
Very neat game, I don't think I need to reiterate the praise others have justly given (cute grahpics etc.)
I feel that a few may have been (nearly) impossible to destroy. Given some logic to monitor difficulty in this way could make it slightly more fun at higher levels. (You could possibly add bursts of enemies of the same colour, it wouldn't make it any harder, but maybe more exciting with 5+ enemies in the sky, I'd happily sacrifice speed for quantity in this case)
Definitely, a unique game idea, though I struggled to figure it all out.
Fun Fact: I tried to make a game about a war room initially, though mine ended up far too complicated, and I had to kill off that project.
Weird game! I'm pretty sure it was weird in a good way, managed to figure my way around it without much instruction, so it was all pretty intuitive.
Great game! Took me a while to figure out what I was doing, but I'm amazed by the polish.
Great entry, although the mechanics weren't immediately obvious to me
VR entry, impressive! Does tend to limit the number of users that can play your game, but having the gameplay video was a nice touch.
@theoddpotion, Thanks!
"Btw, what is happening when the ship goes crazy and just keeps full thrust?"
Tbh, I have no idea, haven't come across that before, and can't seem to replicate it yet.
Love the arcade style game. The particles and effects were nice, and the game itself very fun.
Cool game. I'm a big fan of that graphical style, although I'm not sure how I felt about the polygons near me stretching quite so much, though I did find it quite endearing having come across that in my own engine.
I was greeted by a white screen with some UI on it, not sure if that was my end.
Genuinely enjoyed playing this game, good use of time as a core concept. Well balanced, with immersive sound design.
Took me a while to figure out what I needed to do, but once I did it was pretty fun. I liked the voxel graphics, but feel the gameplay could use a little polish.
Neat game, quite a lot of scope for a game jam, which is quite impressive.
My main gripe is the foreground elements getting in the way. I also accidentally killed quite a few of my crew members, so maybe give them a tad more health.
Great to see a game with multiplayer for LD. Some pretty fun ideas in there as well!
Very different take on prison management, even if a little rough in its presentation, it was quite fun to play!
That's a lot of depth for a compo game! Nice. My third attempt got me to colonise nine planets, but then I overstretched. In my defence, I think half of my ships stopped to get a burger. A few graphical tweaks wouldn't have gone amiss, but overall a great entry!
I scored 29. I really liked your tutorial, it was a nice way of integrating it as a lot of LD games tend to just leave you to figure it out! The teleporting mechanic felt pretty fun to use as well, and that could definitely be developed into something cool (maybe even with puzzles).
You've got some pretty sweet pixel art there.
Definitely made me smile. Interesting trying to piece together the missions to achieve what was quite a funny take on the theme.
Very undertale-esque, made me smile while playing. Very endearing artwork.
Solid entry, but I did feel that the keyboard controls were a little sensitive.
