Nice job with the art, it's so nice. I loved the entire vibe of the game. It would be cool if you had to figure out what stats were needed from what the customers said, rather than it just telling you. It was still cool though :smile:
That was glorious. Reminded me of JazzPunk with the surrealism.
Top notch art, sound design, and gameplay. I really enjoyed playing. The puzzles themselves were nicely challenging :smile:
Fantastic idea and wonderful art direction! I wish it was longer :smile:
Fantastic idea and really solid execution. You've done some good optimisation to get all those sprites to run well on HTML5. It's a shame that HTML5 makes the audio pop so much, I believe that can be helped by increasing the audio latency. Overall it's a very well made and fun game! I used Godot too and it's great to see what can be accomplished in the engine. I just wish you could destroy the cacti when you drive through them :grin:
Great writing that was really fun. The graphics were nice too, and the endings unexpected! The music reminded me a lot of GBA games.
Super cute art and satisfyingly forgiving mechanics, I love it! You did such a good job I had a great time playing :grin:
Very spooky game with outstanding visuals for a LD game! It has a great atmosphere too. It was super ambitious to use a custom engine with C++ so well done! It ran great for me (i7-6700k + RTX3070ti). The only problem I encountered is that it would not hide my mouse cursor.
Really really fun, I loved how there wasn't just one type of puzzle.
This is so cool, probably the best submission I've seen so far in my opinion. Aesthetically, it's striking, and mechanically, it's so solid. It truly embodies the "unstable" theme. You should be really proud of yourself. :D
Hard to get the hang of the controls but very unique and very fun. Super solid compo submission. Nice work :)
Really fun puzzle platformer! I feel like this could be great if you took the game further. It felt polished too. I actually liked the controls it made it very easy to play with one hand.
Absolutely top-tier visuals. Incredibly complex game for something made in <72 hours. Frankly it baffles me how only two people could make this for LD. With some very minor improvements to the physics this could be perfect. Good work!! :grin:
Pretty cool idea with decent exectution. Shouldn't the enemies die when I jump on them as Mario though?
Really fun and satisfyingly simple. Best time I got was 1:34.7. I really liked your art style in this, and the game follows the theme very well. One way I think the game could be improved was if the enemy bullets were more visible. A good method I've found is to make them flash (which I did in my submission). :smile:
Really fun and challenging game! Also very happy to finally see another C# Mono Godot game!! I love the art and the music most of all. I think I'd prefer it if you could buy upgrades when you died and you could slowly get stronger. Kind of in a rogue-lite style.
This is such a good game! It really reminds me of those classic flash games like hedgehog launcher and shopping cart hero. I loved it so much that I bought all the upgrades! However once I got past about 104000 I got a fatal error hahaha. Thanks for making something so fun, I hope you're proud of yourself for this! :grin:
Wasn't really sure what was happening but still managed to win, perhaps it's too easy. Also, some of the text was too small to read. Anyway, I really enjoyed the pixel art, especially the user interface stuff. :smile:
Wonderfully weird, I absolutely loved playing this! The world seemed so cool to me. I want to explore it further, it really reminded me of Salad Fingers. The art was really nice too, it fit the theme and the game well. So did the music actually, I liked that a lot too. I'm a big fan of surrealism so I'd love to see this game taken further! Good work :smile:
@rzfmzn Thanks! You can actually hold R for 3 seconds and it'll reset you back to your last checkpoint. :v:
@littlebeardman Thanks a lot for the fantastic feedback! I agree with you about the controls, I could'nt get them exactly how I wanted. As for the virus thing I'm not sure how windows decides it because my partner's PC considered it a virus as usual. It's strange.
@mateu Thank you for your feedback :) I do wish the controls felt better. Congrats for managing to finish though! :grin:
@thewustache Correct! :smile: Basically as you go faster, you get hotter and eventually explode
@swen Thank you! Congrats on getting to the end!
@supergamersgames Haha I'm glad you had fun, well done completing it! :grin: It definitely is very sensitive, pretty *unstable* I guess you could say :wink:
@henriquecanella Thank you! Yes you can get the plugin on the Godot asset library :smile:
@masterproject Thanks! :D
@rustywolf Thank you! For the background I just used the dither gradient tool in Aseprite
@rayredd I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks, it was my first real time level building :grin:
@cottontshirtz Thanks! I hadn't really considered how puzzle-like it is, but I agree with you. The music isn't procedural but that's a cool idea :smile:
@gingerningerish Very true :wink:
@megamasterx Thank you!! I agree that it's stressful haha
@becky-rayner Thank you very much! :grin:
@brotherst 16 deaths is actually good! Thank you very much I'm glad you enjoyed playing!! Regretfully I didn't add a timer although if I expand on the game after LD then I'll be sure to implement it. :smile:
@anstabo Glad you had fun! :v:
0 deaths_small.png
In case anyone is wondering, yes it is possible :wink:
@ollieoa Sorry you found it a bit too difficult but thank you! :smile:
@gdman @marin0104 Aye, the communication of the heat level to the play could be vastly improved. I didn't wan't to use any in-game UI so that's why I opted to use the colour changing and beeps. I have been practicing my pixel art skills recently so thanks! :D
@dev-dennis Thank you! I agree somewhat about the difficulty. I wanted it to be challenging, but I see now that having to move slowly can be frustrating to a lot of players since they just wanna get on with the game.
Also, the bit where you fall down the tunnel is pretty dodgy, I definitely made it too sensitive to explode from bumps.
I escaped! The voice acting made me laugh! The camera made me a bit dizzy though haha :laughing:
I was quite confused, wasn't sure what to do. Also the camera smoothing was quite dizzying.
I really enjoyed completing this! The whole game feels really well polished, well done! The artwork is so cute and clean, the music is nice and calming, and the sound effects feel great. :smile:
Super fun game. I'd like some sort of display of the wind direction or speed, maybe a windsock or something. Loved the low-poly models, and the UI was great. Nice job! :grin:
Really cool art style. The fusion of narrative and roguelike mechanics reminds me of the Hand of Fate game series. Nice work :grin:
Cool game :) I especially love the music
The art is lovely and makes me feel nice and warm inside. Fun game :) This was my first Ludum Dare too :D
Wonderful art style, very well done. And the music sure was banging. Only issue I had was that the collisions felt a bit dodgy, I got stuck on the boxes quite often. Solid overall though! :smile:
I couldn't beat the last level but still had a lot of fun! I really loved the dialogue. If you're struggling with the scene transitions you can take a look at the way I handle it, although I did use C#. [For example in this class the GotoMainMenu function changes the scene.](https://github.com/ConnorRowe/LD49-Unstable-Fragile-Payload/blob/main/scripts/InfoScreen.cs) If you're using GD script it will probably be similar. :smile:
Really fun! Couldn't complete the 3rd level though haha :grin:
Fantastic concept and execution of it! To me the platforming could be a little tighter but still, it's a cool game! :grin:
Fun platforming with interesting mechanics. Wish it had a proper end :smile:
Wonderfuly bizarre. Nice submission :)
happy ludum dare 50
This is really cool and feels very polished. The ambience is great. The art is consistent and looks fantastic. You also did a great job making such intuitive and easy to understand gameplay. Congrats team!
I loved the art style in this, I thought it was so cool. The gameplay is a great use of the theme as well! Overall a really nice submission. :D
This was an interesting experience. By the time I got to the boss fight, I had completely forgotten the name of the game and was very confused as to why I was fighting a dragon hahaha. Really cool game, congrats. The only major improvement I can think of is that I found the UI a bit confusing to navigate at times. Also am I right in assuming you've used a custom engine for this? If so, double-congrats. :-]
Aside from the magnificent art, I loved the variety of enemies and upgrades, they made the game feel really complete. One issue is that it wasn't apparent when I was being hurt / by how much. Overall though, this is really solid, polished, and fun! Congrats to the whole team, you all did a great job. :D
I was really suprised how fun this was! I loved the variety of spells. Wind OP tho OdJbH4U.png
Great job making such a complex game in a really short timespan! I couldn't figure out where to find water to drink, and when an items stack count went to 0, it'd remain in your inventory which looked weird. With some more tutorials this could be a lot more understandable. Congrats for submitting, nice job! :D
Wow this is criminally under-played right now!! (only 3 ratings what?) The graphics are amazing! The gameplay a little simple but good for a minigame. I'm so glad the inevitability was a hug because my heart dropped when she finally caught me, I was so worried and sad. The voice acting was great for the intro too! Nice job :D
I loved the art style and the menu designs! Grandma is so mean tho :( I'm glad it didn't overstay its welcome, more hopping with more crows would've gotten boring eventually. Most submissions seem to have gone the route of 'game ends when you die', so this is a welcome change! Overall, this is a great submission, and it feels really polished. I hope you had fun making it, cuz I had fun playin! Congrats :D
What a genius idea! The design of the lil bomb guy is great, and the whole interface is very clean looking. Some sfx like an explosion and a nice tssssssss for the fuse would be some easy improvements. Great job!
I loved its little emoticon face, that was a really nice touch. Overall, it's really cute, and a well made submission. Nice work! :-]
That was hilarious. I loved that you could pick your preference of 'nan' title. Overall it felt really well made. Congrats on making such a unique entry!
This is is a great surrealistic entry. To anyone struggling to start the game because the cursor is locked, press enter on the main menu and it'll start. I loved the juxtaposition of the giant fleshy Greebo in a pristine world filled with cute pixel art characters. The art direction of this is 10/10, it's so cool. The gameplay is quite disorientating and the gravity stopped working for me at some point haha. Congrats team, you made something very cool, and quite ambitious for a 3-day jam!
It's really impressive you made a game from scratch with Rust for the compo, congrats! It's a shame the highscore doesn't work but it's not a big deal. I think it's pretty interesting that the level is loaded from a bitmap file haha. Nice work! :D
Press 'p' to piss bed? 10/10.
Congrats making some really solid stealth mechanics in such a short time! I really enjoyed this, nice work. :)
Super solid mechanics, well done! Great job making so many levels that feel distinct, that's something I find really difficult. I thought the death effect was really cool too :grin:
The design of the bomb was perfect, I genuinely felt it taunting me as I endlessly dropped it. I loved the music too. Nice submission! :grin:
Great concept, very chaotic, and fit the theme well. I think I found a bit of an exploit hahah Screenshot 2023-05-03 195717.png :grin:
Great interpretation of the theme! Loved the aesthetic and the atmosphere. I felt a sense of exploration that reminded me of Hollow Knight. Well done team! :grin:
It boggles my mind how anyone could make all this beautiful art in < 72 hours. Well done everyone, your game is so cool :grin:
Lovely art, really cute well written story, pizza, what's not to love. Really well done, I loved playing this!! Now I'm craving an elven style pizza...
Congratulations on finishing your first game jam! I hope you had a fun time making this! :grin: This game is suprisingly fun, it feels really nice and smooth to play and the little minimap kind of thing is a fantastic idea. I couldn't get the embedding to work either but oh well haha.
Screenshot 2023-05-03 204213.png Really fun! Pretty simple idea executed very well. It felt super solid and I didn't experience any bugs or anything. The music is absolutely fantastic too. Congrats team! :grin:
Firstly, thank you for having a volume slider available right away! The music and sound was really good. The colour palatte and art design is great. A couple of improvements could be having multiple hitpoints and different enemy types. The minimap made navigation super easy which is important. Great job team! :grin:
Glad to see another animal courier service game! :grin: The artwork is absolutely amazing, I loved it. Congrats on the great submission! Is it your first jam game? If so well done making such a solid game for your first jam! The only issue I had was I found it difficult to know if I was in the correct lane to hit the parcel, but it wasn't too bad.
