LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Taser Loser by Igor KinGamer 2017-12-05T23:04:12Z

Very cool game! I enjoyed every minute of it (even when I was dead).

I love the graphics and music. The gameplay is really fun, but sometimes you could dominate and it could become too easy.

Suggestions

- Make the character movement a little faster - Allow the taser to work when coming back to you - Make yourself start at the taserland entrance (this makes more sense, this also allows you to see "taserland" at the beginning, and it keeps you away from right next to the enemies at spawn) - I never saw the sprint and energy bar move through the gameplay - Make the coins icon be on the same line as the number

Great game overall! Really fun and enjoyable!

Taser Loser by Igor KinGamer 2017-12-05T23:50:10Z

Yep, sounds good! Just so you know, those suggestions did not affect my ratings (I still rated it very greatly)

Into the Slumber by FernandaBatista 2017-12-04T23:28:28Z

Outstanding graphics and sounds. The idea of this game is wonderful. This is one of the best submissions. This could not be improved at all, it is so good.

Also, why are you all not being rated in graphics?

Cracks by YouBeStrong 2017-12-07T03:34:59Z

I really loved this game. I enjoyed it the whole time. I love the animations and graphics, and how you only use the mouse. I love the music too, it was great and relaxing. I LOVED the ending, and I love games that do stuff like that.

Suggestions

- You CAN fix the bug that says "sue" instead of "use". It is allowed in the rules of LD that you can fix bugs. The only thing not allowed is adding new features. To prove, go to the [LD rules](http://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/rules). - Some of the graphics were very pixelated, so you should update them (this would be for the post jam game)

I love the different tools that do different things. This game is terrific. Also, ignore the comment on LD about the "fixing a person?" I am currently making [a game](https://github.com/thebclickteam/bocracy) that there are B's and A's fighting each other. Game's don't have to make sense, just like TV Shows.

Thanks for the great game!

Cracks by YouBeStrong 2017-12-09T04:41:40Z

Thanks, @youbestrong! I do realize that the graphics are low resolution due to the fact of it being zoomed in, but still, having them higher resolution would make the game have a better UX.

Courier Springs by hbocao 2017-12-06T22:07:23Z

Great game for being made in 72 hours. You all did a great. I love the graphics and I even love the songs (even though you never made them, it was a good selection).

Suggestions

- Make the links in the tools used (in the game) be either selectable or an actual link - Make the music not start over once you leave the page and go back - Make the restart (T) also be the R key (or make the start over key (backspace) be R and then T be backspace) (anything to make one of them R will be ideal)

Overall, cool game.

Post Mayhem by Niphram 2017-12-04T03:12:52Z

A fun game that fits the theme in a unique way. Really fun and great graphics.

The only bad thing is that the music sounds bad at some points of time, but it sounds good at other times.

Paperwork by urbanhelsing 2017-12-09T18:12:56Z

Very cool. I love the idea and innovation of this game. I love many aspects of it. The things I love the most is the way the layout is: like paper. Also, I love how it is wavy borders and the idea of having a pen that runs out. I love the idea of the game. I love the humor too!

Suggestions

- Don't allow switching what box to sign on one mouse down (once mouse down to sign, only allow signing in that box, not others) - Make the music on the signing paper work be like the music during playing (not boring and repeating, so more exciting)

Overall cool game. I will certainly try to [get this game 20 ratings](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/ginas-bed-breakfast/$70509).

Earl's Quest by wujood 2017-12-04T22:32:25Z

Great game! I love the graphics and the music. Great game style. Also, the animations and movements are very smooth.

Suggestions

- Make the gameboy image be higher resolution (an SVG image would be best for this) - Make "Press [Space] to continue continue" be on one line - Make the checkout clerk talk when you interact with the cash register instead of just him - Make the outer few layers of pixels of the character be able to go through things like fences, doors, and trees (sometimes it looks like you can go trhough but you actually can't)

Overall, one of the best games I've seen for LD40 so far. You guys put a lot of effort into this.

Coinminator 2000 by Victor Sette 2017-12-05T23:37:08Z

Well made. A very great game. One of the best LD40 submissions. I love the music, graphics, and the game itself.

Suggestions

- Allow A & D keys for moving

Exploding Golf, with Lovable Piggies by OldPeculier 2017-12-06T00:02:10Z

Cool game! Really great. I love Pico-8 games! Nice idea. The graphics look great. Great job!

EA's spaceBattle by dodormeur 2017-12-02T23:47:09Z

Very funny, and it fits the theme perfectly. This is a unique approach to the theme and I like it.

Mushroom Délicieux by TRASEVOL_DOG 2017-12-05T05:15:59Z

Great game! I love the great idea. Really fun to play because it is so action packed.

Comments

- The graphics were a little hard to distinguish - The game moves, shakes, and flashes to rapidly (this makes it more fun and action packed but maybe a little less all over the place)

Overall really great!

Cat Lady Simulator 2020 by CubicTimeline 2017-12-05T23:20:18Z

Wonderful game! Really nice.

Feedback / Suggestions

- The graphics aren't the best (graphics aren't consistent style, and some don't look as good) - I suggest making the "click ctrl to do action" make you know if it is doing something because I couldn't tell sometimes if it actually was doing something

Overall, a cool game!

get>set by rela_x 2017-12-04T22:57:57Z

Great graphics and audio! I love how the instructions are part of the world. I love the smooth movement. Great idea.

Suggestions

- Maybe change the animation for winning the level to something different. At first I thought it meant that I lost - maybe something like simply moving upwards out of the view - The losing screen text isn't that easily legible. I suggest changing the font. Also, is the game over text supposed to say, "new exception"?

Overall, great game!

Super Goop! by Be3n2 2017-12-04T21:21:05Z

I submitted a pull request on GitHub for your readme. Also, really nice graphics on the game.

Bits by GeroX 2017-12-04T03:07:37Z

A great game, and after adding the aspect that you are 14-years-old makes the game even better. I love the game, and it has a great objective. It was hard to understand the first time I played, but the second time it was perfectly understanded.

I am also a very young developer (I am 13). I have been coding since I was 9-years-old. I primarily develop in JavaScript. You can check out my stuff at [https://cameronsamuels.com](https://cameronsamuels.com).

Good luck!

Conquer by OmnipotentIndie 2017-12-04T03:24:56Z

Wonderful graphics! Nice game!

Gina's Bed & Breakfast by CameronJSamuels 2017-12-04T03:28:19Z

@lks1990, the excessive pushing of the keys is meant to happen. It fits the theme: the more calories you gain, the more tired you get, the more stopping and catching breath you do. The forcing of eating burgers was so it could keep the dialog showing and the reason for eating every time was that he kept getting exhausted.

Gina's Bed & Breakfast by CameronJSamuels 2017-12-04T22:12:32Z

Thank you, @be3n2. Yeah I love the ending.

I have noticed from other people I have shown the game to, one also said that the first room was a bit confusing. I might improve the upstairs room to solve these problems.

Also, thanks everyone for commenting great things!

Gina's Bed & Breakfast by CameronJSamuels 2017-12-04T22:21:16Z

Thanks for your wonderful feedback, @wujood, @move127 and @cocapasteque! I'm glad you like it.

Gina's Bed & Breakfast by CameronJSamuels 2017-12-05T22:06:40Z

Thanks guys for the great feedback!

Also, @tvance, I hope you did not rate it badly for that reason.

Gina's Bed & Breakfast by CameronJSamuels 2017-12-05T23:44:29Z

Thank you @oldpeculier, @tvance, and @regisrquoi for your terrific feedback! I'm glad you liked it!

Gina's Bed & Breakfast by CameronJSamuels 2017-12-09T18:01:06Z

Thanks @victor-sette and @youbestrong, I am glad you liked it!

@youbestrong, yeah, it is really humorous. But the funny thing is, the motel this game was based off of, had another building to stay in a few miles down the road (which is even more awkward).

And for the music, I might add that post jam because it would be cool to have.

Thanks everyone for your great feedback!

Gina's Bed & Breakfast by CameronJSamuels 2017-12-21T03:38:51Z

Thanks @maakep, @dodormeur, and @larrychupacabra for you great feedback!

@larrychupacabra, great video!

Sugarplum Summit by Michael Clavell 2017-12-05T23:27:48Z

Really cool game, and I like the setting (characters are ornaments, and you reach the top of the tree).

Suggestions

- The game over screen says "fall of the" and nothing else. That doesn't make that much sense. - Maybe add sound effects for shooting (not talking about hitting)

Overall, really cool.

Sugarplum Summit by Michael Clavell 2017-12-05T23:47:58Z

@michael-clavell, I completely understand that v1.1 is post-jam. That sounds good. At least you fixed it.

IDEA! by BetaNab99 2017-12-06T22:14:19Z

Nicely animated, great music. I did get the game stuck when I got struck by lightning and had to refresh. Was this intended?

Cool game, the music is very catchy and matches the game.

Balloon Baffoon by B34k3rM33p 2017-12-09T05:02:08Z

A lot of these comments are harsh. I am sorry about that. It's never to early to start a game jam, that's you do them, to learn. I am very sorry about that comment.

Besides the graphics and a few other things (user interface, a little bit of the physics), you did a really good job. I really enjoyed playing this game because I loved how it was quick and simple to the point (you don't need to understand anything). It was really fun and enjoyable.

I would suggest like most people, improving the graphics, but also, I would suggest tuning up the user interface. I am talking about the main menu and the game over screens. These screens have very small text inside the buttons and it isn't adaptive. This means that on my iMac, the buttons are huge but the text is tiny.

Screen Shot 2017-12-08 at 10.55.17 PM.jpg Screen Shot 2017-12-08 at 10.55.54 PM.jpg

After fixing that and the graphics, you could improve some of the physics (which I don't see a huge problem with, but those things could always be improved). I made [an app](https://github.com/xeleration/fidget) that uses an algorithm for momentum and it could always be improved, just like other physics in games, they're never perfect.

Besides that, there could be more improvements you think of and then you could publish your post-LD release. Overall, I really enjoyed it and it's a great game!

Theme - The Game by Cubeeo 2017-12-04T21:44:59Z

This is a unique game.

And by the way, the font in the game isn't like what is in the screenshots, just so you know.

Theme - The Game by Cubeeo 2017-12-04T22:09:16Z

@cubeeo, you're welcome!

Here's a screenshot just in case:

screenshot with wrong font

Theme - The Game by Cubeeo 2017-12-04T22:19:27Z

**ALL** of the fonts looked like the font in the screenshot. Maybe packaging the fonts with the game will work.

Theme - The Game by Cubeeo 2017-12-04T22:36:28Z

I did get to play entire game (I think so), and the font was consistent throughout the game (the font was what is in the screenshot).

Sorry, but either way, I don't think it will make you get worse ratings, but you should still fix it (obviously).

Theme - The Game by Cubeeo 2017-12-05T22:09:37Z

Yeah, I got stuck too, @cklidify, according to @cubeeo. I like that idea of a walkthrough. Maybe @cubeeo, you could make an animated gif for the gameplay (you could screen record and convert), so people could understand how to continue if they got stuck like us (and probably more)

Theme - The Game by Cubeeo 2017-12-05T23:46:31Z

@cubeeo, how about doing a "SPOILER: walkthrough gif link" in the game description. That could be good

Robin Loot by zanzavar 2017-12-04T23:42:30Z

Astonishing!!

This is truly the best LD40 Jam game I have seen so far. Thanks for this great game! I can tell that you guys put a lot of effort into it. It is a great idea that is unique from others. This just couldn't get any better. I love the outstanding graphics, and even the music & sound effects! Great!

The Truth About Mortuary Business by hinomi 2017-12-05T22:49:31Z

Great game, even if it is not finished. I will love to continue playing once it is finished! I like the graphics and the idea.

I understood how to play, but after playing the game for 20 minutes of fun, I still couldn't satisfy the needs of the clients. Am I doing something wrong, or is that the part that is still unfinished.

Great game!

PLETHORA by Emilio Barrera 2017-12-04T21:31:57Z

Wonderful game, especially for your fist game. Keep up the great work. I love the idea.

Suggestions

- The graphics and sound effects are great but it would be better to have some nice music in the background - Maybe make the platforms a little more easy to jump up onto (some are too jammed packed, and some are a tiny bit too far apart)

Overall, great game!

Snek by Emmatipate 2017-12-02T23:42:37Z

Cool game! Great for the amount of time spent (but it doesn't even need more time because it is great). I love the clean UI.

#### Suggestions - Add a time limit for game over instead of just crossing yourself - Make the collectibles move after a time limit (e.g. after 10 seconds, move somewhere else) - Improve the movement when changing to the opposite direction (there's a delay) - Remove the description in the game and only have it in the itchio description

Great game overall. One of the most good looking and great entries so far.

Oh no! Zombies! by Benjamin San Souci 2017-12-09T05:17:42Z

This is a unique game! I love all the different guns with their own unique sound effect, key stroke, and bullet pattern. I love this game. It's really fun to play, and it is really enjoyable.

You all did great making this! Keep up the great work!

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Super PunchTime by groverburger 2018-04-30T21:11:48Z

Nice game! Really fun. Nice graphics for the game.

RPGs Done Quick by rhythmlynx 2018-04-23T22:22:04Z

Great game. The graphics are nice and the gameplay is fun. Good job.

¶City by Sophie 2018-04-23T20:37:57Z

This is a great game! I really enjoyed playing it. I love the name, and you really spent a lot of effort into making this over the top. Way to go!

Single-Screen Open World RPG by pandademic42 2018-04-23T20:11:25Z

Cool game! I really love the graphics.

Card Royale by Ruoyu 2018-04-23T20:55:34Z

This is a great game! I love it! The idea was highly innovated. Great job! I really enjoyed playing and the sound effects and graphics were amazing. The only suggestion I have is to improve the randomization of the cards. Sometimes I would get a lot of movement cards and it would be a while until I got other cards. Other than that, you did a great job!

Nine Lives by CameronJSamuels 2018-04-23T19:59:08Z

@pandademic42, thanks for your great feedback! I just updated the entry description (the game already had the info you requested in the "how to play" area). I was planning on adding sound, but some devices make it a little tricky (sometimes impossible).

@mao, thanks for the feedback. I see that sometimes too. It does work better on a phone, but I can still make the mice a little bigger. Also, when I was connecting the theme, I took two different objects that are incompatible, not two genres (a lot of people also did that).

Nine Lives by CameronJSamuels 2018-04-24T19:53:10Z

@Mr.MadCat, thanks for the feedback. I will make the mice bigger (or at least add some clear padding to the image) so they are easier to click. The cursor aspect, I can't do anything about. It does work better on a phone though (also tilt mode on iOS is fun).

@Blinkenlights, thanks for enjoying. :cat:

Nine Lives by CameronJSamuels 2018-04-29T19:14:57Z

@pogo & @samuel-henderson, thanks for your feedback! I will fix both of those issues at some point.

@PatrickRMC, thanks for the great feedback and the brilliant way to think of the problem that way. I will fix those problems at some point though. I see that you're 14-years-old. If you didn't already know, I'm too:smile:.

Nine Lives by CameronJSamuels 2018-05-03T19:57:04Z

@aaron-nemoyten, thanks for the great feedback and support. My GitHub link is on my profile if you want to check it out.

@bryyrt, thanks for the feedback. I'll make sure to check out your game.

@acoto87 @Jin9310, thanks for the great feedback.

Pretty Crowded Dungeon by sprvrn 2018-04-23T22:15:38Z

This is a really awesome game! Great job. The graphics and audio a great. The gameplay is really fun.

Cruise & Co. by Blinkenlights 2018-04-23T21:24:00Z

This game is cool. I like the multitasking concept. The game's animations are very smooth and nice. Great job! I would suggest to change the font for the instructions (it should stay elsewhere).

If Potato Meets Flag Then by joqlepecheur 2018-04-23T21:38:22Z

This is an amazing game! I love the idea! Not only is it a programming and a platformer game, it is also a puzzle game. This is a one of a kind. Great job! One of my favorites.

Cat Pack by Potondo 2018-04-23T20:48:23Z

This is a neat game, although very hard. Maybe make the time pausing a little bit longer than it currently is and maybe adding a little bit more lives would make the game last longer and be a little more fun (you could make it 9 lives like a cat). I like the idea of the game and it is really fun (it just could last a little longer).
