Do you run an adblocker? The game doesn't play any ads, but I've heard that adblockers can cause that problem with certain flash games. Try running the game in another browser or with extensions disabled.
If I made this game now, I would've had the game paused until the player clicks in the window. When making this, though, I forgot that that's something Flash does, so I didn't think to add something like that :(
It should work in Chrome regardless of OS. Do you get an error, or just a white screen, or what? Do you have Flash Player installed?
Is auto-focusing on the element a thing you can do? I'll look into that (Changes concerning the webpage but not touching the gameplay are acceptable, right?)
They aren't insta-murder, you can kill them. It's just like Hotline Miami, the combat is exceedingly quick but you can still win fights.
Wowza. That gets really chaotic by the end. Great concept :)
The physics simulation in this is fantastic, very well done :) I think it definitely would've been better to have a rotatable camera because seeing through the walls is somewhat impossible in places. Other than that, very impressive!
It took me a while to realize what the mechanic was (I should read the description...), but it was quite an enjoyable little puzzle. I would've loved to have played more of this :)
I really enjoyed playing this, and the graphics were very well done, but the collisions were a very buggy and it made me frustrated trying to keep playing when I was getting hit by lasers that weren't hitting me or getting stuck in walls. If this game was polished a bit, I think it could be great :)
Very fun, but very tense at the same time. I think I stopped breathing for the last four levels :D
This is a fantastic idea, and phenomenally well implemented. I had a lot of fun with this :)
This game is gorgeous in every way. I enjoyed every second of my ten minutes just walking around looking at the environment and the buildings. And the ending was very well done. I sat staring at the whiteness for about a minute just thinking things over. This game is extraordinarily good for a 72 hour game :)
Probably the long delay between tracks was my only gripe with this, because it does add a lot to the exploration when the (beautiful) music is playing.
Great idea! I can never seem to get more than 2 survivors, though, without getting lucky :/ The tone was definitely done right :)
I'm apparently really bad at this, as I couldn't even get past the third level. It's quite fun, though, and very humourous. The voice work is annoying in a good way :)
This game is amazingly high quality for a Ludum Dare game. I spent over an hour playing this, very well done :) And the graphics seriously gorgeous.
Wow. This was intense. Despite the frequent spelling/grammatical issues (I'm assuming English isn't your first language), I enjoyed this very much. I was thunderstruck when I told Sofie I loved her more and she only said "I know". I have no idea how you wrote so much content in the 48 hours. This is incredible :)
This was probably better written than most of the published books I read. I would've liked for it to have been impacted by my choices (I understand the author doesn't want a "good" ending, but it would've been interesting if the relationship had progressed in different ways and still ended in a break up), but I still enjoyed it thoroughly and maybe teared up a bit upon ending it the first time :)
I really enjoyed this game, it was quite fun :) It seems to me as though the weapons weren't balanced very well, and the first weapon is better than both of the two you can buy. Still fun, though.
It took me a while to realize what was happening with the rules. I should read the rules more often :D Great concept, and the graphics are adorable.
I would've like to have some sort of mouse looking so that I could find people easier, but very nice game with excellent ambiance :)
This game is hilarious :)
This game is fantastic :) I played it through 5 times doing different things each time.
I would've liked to have an option for the camera to be more zoomed in or even first person, as it's quite difficult to understand where you are or what's going on. Still a fun little game regardless :)
This game makes me very nostalgic. Brings back the countless hours I spent doing MadLibs in my youth :)
Some sort of undo command would be nice ;) Also, there's a bug where if you pick up a block and put it back where it was, it counts as a move. Other than that, though, very neat game!
The art and music in this are beyond fantastic. The gameplay itself is a little easy. I lapped everyone at least twice :)
I was really interested in the story, but I think it's a little too luck-based to win. The puddles disappear too fast for you to really be able to aim for puddles, and you just had to get lucky enough to have a puddle spawn next to you. That's just my opinion, though. Aside from how hard it is, I enjoyed it :)
Very good concept :) Lagged a bit for me if a lot of lasers were being fired at once.
I really like games with this sort of mechanic. It got really confusing by the end when I had about 4 people stacked on top of one another and was barging my way past, but I quite enjoyed it all the same :)
This is probably the most fun game I've played this session :) I played this for about 2 hours.
Quite fun, but I think the aiming messes up at long distance (Unless that's intentional?). Still enjoyable, though :)
I don't know why so many people are saying this was too hard, I actually think it was far too easy :D I beat every level and got every coin without losing a life. I would've liked to have seen the game go on for longer, but I understand time constraints :)
Excellent game, I loved it! :) Some sort of tutorial or description would've been really nice, though. It took me quite a while to figure out what I was supposed to do, and I still don't understand the different colours of boxes and monsters and what they change.
Not particularly challenging, but a nice way to spend a few minutes. I got up to 250 before quitting :)
Loved the idea, and the graphics were very nice. The level design was fantastic. I got to level 19 before having to quit :)
The controls are a bit slide-y, and the collisions make it hard to move around, but it's a nice little exploration game :)
This is very difficult for me, as I can type very fast, but I never quite learned how to type every key without looking at the keyboard. Nice idea, though, and the progression works well :)
This was very well implemented, nice job. If you made this into an iOS/Android game and fleshed it out a bit more, I'd buy it :)
Controls definitely messed with my brain. Very difficult, but a quirky fun little game :)
I really, really, really loved the environment you guys made and the artwork. Personally I think I would've preferred for this to be purely exploration, but I understand the need to fit the theme :)
This is a very interesting concept, I like it! It is a bit difficult to do anything with, though :) The mood and graphics were great, though.
This is actually very fun to play :) A bit annoying when a cat spawns inside of a mine, though.
I really liked the concept for this, but the collisions were a bit of a mess for me, so I couldn't get very far :/
Excellent physics simulation! This game is seriously fun to play with :) And the graphical effects (Cell shading, blurred visual extremes, soft shadows) are very well done. Phenomenal!
Very difficult, I love it :) I think it might've been a good thing to make the stars checkpoints, though. It's nearly impossible to get all the way up in one go. I liked the fact that you have to jump after falling, it really messes with my platforming ideology!
My eyes are having a fit. Very creative and humourous :)
Yep. I'm a little too tired to care about the fact that I made something rather good and have no way to distribute it, though, thus I have essentially lost.
Yes, actually, there is an end to it. And the map is quite puny, I'm glad it lasted so long :)
For the sake of checking, was the fog not blended for you? It may be a problem with some people's GPUs, but there should be blended distance fog and swirling floor fog. Also, the reason why it's so short is because 1) it's more eerie, and 2) it masks the fact that you're being teleported around.
I wanted to add more ambiance, but was a bit short on time and prioritized the visual effects above the audial ones.
And @hoqjed, yes, most of the things were intentional, such as the repeated patterns and heavy fog. And I understand that horror isn't for everyone; I personally don't care much for the genre myself, but I wanted to try out making a game in the style. Would you mind explaining how the audio didn't mesh with the game? I'd like to know everything I did wrong so I can watch out for it in the future.
@tobbez, there is a goal, I know it's sort of ambiguous and I should've added something in game to say it, but your goal is to escape. The route to the end messes with your preconceived perceptions that the environment is necessarily solid :) [Is that too big of a hint? :D]
@302_Dave, that's a fair point. To be honest, the wall trick *was* a bit of a cop out on my part. I procrastinated the level design and wanted that in place to sort of make it feel a little bit long ;P
@Avocado, yep, you beat it. Congratulations :D
Well, the graphics are certainly achieving what you hoped for :) The controls were a bit clunky, though, and the combat was basically turn-based without choices.
This is quite an interesting concept, and the orbital physics seem very well done. I seem to not be alone in my confusion over the end, though :P
Interesting concept, but I don't really see how you can bypass traps when you run straight into them :/
It looks from the screenshot quite interesting, and I'd have loved to have been able to play it, but the online multiplayer restriction is a little bit... well, restricting, I suppose :) Some sort of basic AI system so that people could at least try it out would've been nice.
@TeamQuadratic There isn't any particularly "concrete" proof to be found. You mostly have to use your intuition about who was most likely to have done it :-)
@Moosefly there is a correct answer, but I'm keeping it a secret. It's up to you guys to figure out what happened, not for me to tell you ;-)
Huh, this is very similar to the game I made for LD 28. Nice!
I felt as though the guards' lines of sight were often wonky. Also, it seems as though hiding in the shadows doesn't affect visibility, which is odd for a stealth game. Nice job, otherwise, though!
Trying to run over the exact collision boxes of the items was very difficult. I think you should make them bigger. Otherwise, pretty fun!
Very interesting difficulty curve. Nice job on the mechanics, simple yet well done!
The controls feel painfully awkward. Love the graphics, though!
Had a lot of fun with this one! The difficulty curve on the last set of levels was off, though. They all seemed really easy compared to the third set.
This is a great concept, and I love the art. The mechanics seemed incredibly buggy, though, especially the jumping.
This is probably the best stealth game I've seen made during Ludum Dare before. I think the enemies are a bit too forgiving, though, and didn't really feel much of a punishment for getting caught.
Wow! This game is amazing, well done! Very hard, though ;)
I like the concept a lot, but I don't really see a point to it. Why dig the blocks at all? I think this game would be a lot better with some clear goal.
Holy crap this game is beautiful! 5 stars is not enough!
A really interesting concept! I got a little annoyed when the ducks that were the same speed as my beast would manage to keep running away from me for half a minute, but other than that I enjoyed it :-)
It looks like you got quite a bit done. I don't really understand the fail condition, though. Also, it's a good idea to separate the jar from the source. Having to download your source is a bit of a pain ;-)
Wow! This game has such a well-integrated original mechanic! Extremely fun :-)
It took me a long time to realize that I was supposed to get EXACTLY the number specified instead of just going over. Specifying that might be a good idea, though I might just be an idiot ;-)
Something about this just makes me feel happy :-)
Very amusing :-)
The timing on the slash felt a little bit long for the hit-and-run type combat mechanics I think you were going for, but it wasn't a huge issue. I really liked the graphics!
I feel that the random spawning can be a bit brutal early on, before you get fences set up. Monsters would often spawn simultaneously on opposite sides for me, and I wasn't fast enough to take them both down.
I like the idea a lot, but I don't think it's balanced super-well. It gets quite confusing very quickly.
As others are saying, you're spot on with the aesthetics. The first several times I played, though, I just felt more frustrated than scared because I would run into a dead end before I could get a power-up, and the enemies would just be right on my tail and kill me without any suspense.
I find the map very difficult to use, and struggle to figure out my own position on it. Interesting concept, though.
The controls felt quite floaty, but I liked it. You don't get a lot of quick paced fighting type games like this in LD. I think some sort of difficulty progression and perhaps more enemies would have been nice, though.
I think this mechanic could go a long way, and I really enjoyed it. Not sure if the way I beat the last level was a bug or not, though :-)
The music panning sort of hurt my head :-/
The physics were quite well done, and I think that with a little bit of music and some serious bug fixing, this could have been quite a good product.
I'm seriously confused about how this game works. A tutorial would be great. Also, dragging the particle count all the way down causes the game to drop to freeze.
Haha, what an amusing concept. I liked the music a lot as well. The punch collisions were rather broken, though.
Very solid for a first submission! Very nice concept :-)
Wow, this is surprisingly fun. You need a lot of spacial awareness, though :-)
Man! That last puzzle stumped me. I spent about 10 minutes on it before finally giving up. Very well designed puzzles, good job :-)
An interesting presentation of characterization, but, like others have said, some more branching would have been nice.
I really like the idea of this game. I wish the argument-dialogues were a bit further developed, but still a very interesting concept with some light real-world messages tied in :-)
Quite fun :-)
Pretty fun. The controls were a little awkward and I would have liked the ability to rotate the camera.
Gonna have to pull out of this one. I think your game came first. I'll just hang my head in shame. I guess I'll ejaculate the area now. I mean evacuate.
I feel as though the bot's dialogue would have been better without the text-to-speech synthesizer. I found it more annoying than anything, personally.
Very buggy and difficult to move. I liked the first "puzzle", though.
Great attention to detail with the level design, but I would have liked more "logical" placement of the criminals. I was thinking to myself that they had to be hiding in the most crowded spot, the bar. But then they weren't (I think...) :-(
I didn't realize the concept until after I finished playing and read the description. That's an amazing concept! I loved it, very fun and great art/music :-)
The level design is more on the "frustrating" scale rather than the "difficult" scale, but the concept and aesthetics are appealing.
This game is so polished that I'm baffled as to how you finished. Mechanics are great, concept is amazing, art is simple but the aesthetic is very well designed and very consistent. Amazing game :-)
I couldn't get on a server, so I just made my own and hopped around. Can confirm that the explosions are immensely satisfying.
Interesting shift from seemingly top-down movement to platforming mechanics. Not a big fan of the whole power mechanic, though. It only annoyed me without adding any apparent depth to the gameplay.
bass cannon too op, plz nerf
Pretty fun! After a while, I became invincible and stopped having to even move because I had four rapid-fire death beams, though, which sort of ruined the difficulty :-)
I really enjoyed the (implied) story, although some of the syntax butted up against my engagement, especially at the beginning. The art style is gorgeous. I can very much relate to spending too much time on the artwork :-) I'm looking forward to the continuation.
It would have been great if throwing aliens at other aliens damaged them. Aside from that, nice mechanics :-)
I didn't really understand how to play. A better explanation in the description would be nice.
An interesting visualization of the general feelings of anxiety. I felt that the anaglyph 3D added to the mood even without 3D glasses ;-)
Very well designed, from the color palette to the camera angles. My only problem was that the controls felt incredibly awkward.
I'm guessing the unconventional weapon here is the game itself? ;-)
Nice concept. I feel like the puzzles could have been better designed to show off the potential of the mechanics, though (Something where you need to turn on a platform at one point and then later turn it off again, for example).
I felt a little cheated by the screenshots. Thought it would be a geometric stylized exploration game.
I really would've liked a way to shoot in other directions than the one I currently face (i.e., WASD to walk, arrow keys to shoot). Also, like others are saying, the turnip AI is a bit too simple.
Simple graphics, but a very consistent aesthetic. Works well!
Very neat mechanics.
Being able to restart each level individually would be nice. I got to the fourth level and then accidentally launched the box over the wall :-)
Much better music than I usually hear in compo rhythm games, I really liked it. That second level is way to hard for me, though. I couldn't get below 80 mistakes .-.
Great story! My only complaints would be that the ends (or at least the normal end that I got) somewhat spoiled the message by shoving it in my face, and the theme seemed tacked on. Regardless, that was a great experience!
The way that your own attacks damage you after you run out of "juice" is a really interesting mechanic. I like it! :-)
I quite liked the way that the "sets" abruptly changed from one to the next. It worked together with the art style to make me feel like I was reading through a picture book.
I felt that the story was a little lacking, though. Even a little bit more development into the characters and their psyches (why they wanted to end it) through a small dialogue with each character or something would have added many layers to the story for me.
I feel like some visual cue on the gun showing that it was charging up (maybe a neon blue light?) would have made it feel a lot better.
That was a very... unique experience.
The dancing mechanics felt a little too slow for such a fast paced game. I feel as though 5 moves per lightning with each move twice as fast would have been much better.
Really liked the ambient soundscape. A control list in the description would be nice, though, as the controls in-game were broken for me.
I loved the music, it actually added a lot of goofy atmosphere to the game :-)
Oh man, that game terrifies me on so many different levels :-)
I feel like you could have used the concept further or in a better way, but it was still pretty enjoyable.
The controls were really difficult to move around with, and I didn't really understand the goal. I threw about 50 axes at the wolf and it didn't die.
I would have liked a system with some more strategy to it (certain tactics work better in different situations, having to react to external events, combining policies for greater effect). That might be a bit complicated for a 72 hour game jam, though :-)
The whole "enter to start" is rather annoying. I would have preferred it to simply start the next game after pressing r.
Seems like a good idea, but it was a bit too complex for me to really understand without a tutorial ;-)
I came, I saw, I came again ;-)
The paletting on the graphics is quite well done. I feel like the meteors fall too slow for me to really feel engaged at all, and I would've liked an explosion sound effect.
