Simple idea but very effective. Nice entry.
Good idea. I like the graphics. Found it a bit hard to manipulate the pieces of news especially when there are a lot of them on the desk. Physics is a bit buggy but in a funny way. Very good idea to have an influence on the story by choosing the titles unfortunately, I didn't feel I had time to read them! Also, I like the idea to have a balanced front page but just trying to fit as many news as possible made me won no problem. ;) Nice one anyway. I'd like to see this game with more time to work on all those points :)
Great compo game! A bit confusing at the beginning but after I read all the details of the different buildings it started to make a lot of sense! :P Sounds and music are awesome and perfectly fit the game. Very good puzzle/strategy game. Well done! :)
Excellent! I love the arts, animations and sounds. Two levels with different music, this is great. Good take on the theme. Controls are good. A small bug in the collisions, maybe the player collision box height is a bit too big. I had much fun for 13 minutes, thanks :) Good job!
It always feels good to play Tetris and even better when it includes an interesting twist. Kudos for doing this in C++ with html5 export. Good job.
Fun to play. A bit frustrating though XD Nice 3d. Good controls. Well done :)
Good idea! I like the arts. I find it quite refreshing to see a 2d platformer NOT in pixel art. ;) Controls are good. On the downside, I felt that the game was a bit too hard: most of the time I don't even get to 10 seconds which defeats the purpose of the game... Also, there are so many platforms that the up/down switch rarely makes any impact and makes it almost unnoticeable. I feel like a few little tweaks could have fix these few downsides and make this game even more fun... this said, 48 hours is a short time for this kind of considerations :) Good job.
Fun game. Quite addicting. Controls feel a bit weird at the beginning but I quickly got used to them. The puppet style animations of the guys are funny. Sounds and music are fun. Fx on a kills are cool. Nice to have a scoreboard didn't really get how the scores work though. Good job. :)
Love it! Very good. The post jam version fixed the controls and made it perfect. Music is great. Well done!
Very good puzzle game. The story and characters are quite silly, I love it! :rofl: I agree the fonts is a bit hard to read on some letters (like w). I was a bit confused at the beginning but after a couple of steps learning by trying I was just hooked and in the end I wanted more! Well done!
I had real fun playing your frantic pizza game. I like the arts and the 8bit style sounds. Took me a while to notice the signal for a perfectly baked pizza so I served many burnt ones XD Good job!
Loved it. Looks very good. Feels so satisfying to finish it. Some ambient sound or music would have been great :) Too bad it is so short! Well done.
Cute graphics and music. Relaxing. Would have loved blocking roads and several levels with different goals and a few twists. Loved it. Good job! :)
Fun game. A bit repetitive. Funny how you can have a screen almost full of coins :) Controls, arts, animation and sound are more than good. Well done!
I like the take on the theme. Controls, arts and animations are good. Music is nice. Sounds are a bit too minimalists but are ok :) I think it would have been more fun without the lava. Also maybe I am too dumb, I couldn't get pass the 2nd level >D Felt a bit too hard for me ^^' Other than that I think it is great. I hope you will take time to make a full game out of it :) Good job!
Good idea. Sounds are cool. I like the progression in net and red zone shapes. Perhaps a little bit more work on arts could have given some personality to the game. As most commenters already wrote : just spamming is the best strategy to win the game. Limiting the number of nets or any other mechanics to prevent player from spamming could make the game more interesting, I think. Fun anyway. Well done ;)
Nice 3d arts and HUD. Good idea. Controls felt a bit stiff, though.
I had fun playing this old school mini game! Its style reminds me of a few Sega Genesis/Megadrive games. Sounds are quite immersive and including real voices and a couple of photos gives some unique funny touch! I would have loved more features and be able to see what the martians look like ;)
Wow! Very nice visual effects. Arts are ok. Music is good. Love the humour. As mentionned above, I would have liked controls a bit smoother, especially for this kind of challenging games. The text in the 3 or 4 first levels took too much time to appear and was a bit "out of the way". I rushed and completely missed it! Loved it anyway ;)
Great arts, animation, sounds and music. Controls are very good. Fits the theme. Minigames are all really different and everything feels very polished. Not innovative but quite impressive. Great entry! :)
Fun platformer. Controls, arts, animation and sounds are good. Music is great. Good take on the theme. A few good ideas in game mechanics and level design. Felt a bit short. Would have love more levels or a longer one with a few other game mechanics :) Well done!
Cool entry! I like the visual style and concept. It reminds me a bit of my entry but yours is in 3d and looks much better! I am not a huge fan of platformer and found it hard with first person camera (especially that I am used to inverted y axis on the mouse). General atmosphere of the game is great. Controls are good. Really really good. Good job!
Nice music and arts. Feels like a mexican western movie :) Very good for a second game dev, especially in 48 hours . Looking forward to your next games ;) Well done.
Simple but effective idea. Well realized. Controls are intuitive. Could be the core idea of a bigger game with levels of different shapes, bonuses, using money to buy upgrades... Cool micro game :)
Good mini puzzle game. I like the concept of learning what to do progressively and found it quite satisfying to get to the solution. And there's a bit of story telling to ^^ I found it a bit stressful to begin with but then realized I didn't need to do a sequence with all the characters and objects to win! Cool simple music. It is stuck in my head now, well done! :rofl:
Happy to see an educational game as an entry. Nice arts. I liked the typing challenge. I would have loved some animation on the birds (at least one more image). I felt it a bit difficult (even almost impossible) to both read the whole text and concentrate to type the complicated latin names of the birds at the same time. Nice attempt though.
Good idea for the theme. A bit repetitive. Well done.
Very good! I like the art style, simple but effective. Strange ambient sounds with pitch changing as the player moves gives a unique atmosphere to the game. Real downside would be the accuracy to the theme: to me it is more a "10 seconds" themed game than a "EVERY ten seconds" one, but I am being a bit pernickety here. Well done ;)
Fun and relaxing experience. Controls are simple and effective. Very good choice in music and it is fun to make it stop or "rewind" as the block does so. I like very much the simple and shiny arts. And the player is a jumping block XD Love it. :D
Took me a while to get exactly how to play but then I was able to deliver a few plates. Nice kitchen game made from scratch in 48 hours. Well done :)
Thanks guys for all your kind and supporting comments. ^_^ Even more touching after having played your great compos :)
@pandamander, my initial plan was to keep the big block plain white. 12 hours after the beginning of the compo, I had a working prototype with 2 plain white blocks in a medium sized level (that would became the bonus level). I showed it to @srynetix. When he saw the big block he said "oh you got a buddy there!". I thought it was a great idea! Then I thought he was not doing much so I made him asleep :P
@oadt, @pincushion and @resacagames, I am truly happy that you find the sounds hilarious, adorable or on point. ^_^ I tried my best to make them this way.
@reevest2, @vidarn and @kosmosael, I have planned to work on more levels after the end of the jam. I have a few ideas that I'd like to explore :)
@cogcomp and @pincushion, the sprites looks simple (and they are) but it took me quite a long time to get them right! I'm not much of an artist but I like simple cute and funny arts. Many of my attempts on the block design looked really weird or ugly XD In comparison, making and recording the sounds was pretty straight forward!
@thaprofesional, I wish I had more time to make a few more levels... but now I think maybe it would have been too much as an entry for the jam. I wanted to make some music... but again no time.
@oadt, @thaprofesional, @vidarn and @resacagames, I tried to emphasized my effort on controls' feeling, game mechanics, cute arts and fun level design. I've spent quite some time on game designing and play testing to make the level feels right. I thought that long levels could be a pain in the neck with those game mechanics (I am not a big fan of platform games in reality). I thought that short levels with a simple unique trick could be fun.
@kosmosael Wow! Very kind of you to compare this tiny little game to the great Ibb and Obb! I'll let you know if it ever grows big enough to find its way to Steam XD
Great micro game that I could clearly see in a WarioWare game! I love the funny arts and the music. Very good for a first game dev especially in 48 hours! I'm looking forward to your next games :)
A game in React for a first game dev, that's quite a challenge! Not very attractive at first but after a few turns I was hooked. I really wanted to get over 20000 soldier to attack the nearest parcel. When I got how to maximize my revenue it was quite easy. Music gives some nice atmosphere. A few arts for the parcels, buildings and soldier would have made the game much more appealing ;)
Quite hard! I got only to 77m ^^' Fun anyway. Controls feel a bit slippery. Arts, animations and sounds are great. Theme is here. I like the first part that serves as a tiny tutorial. Good job!
I notice you haven't received many ratings. Rate more games yourself and comment them. It should help :)
