I played for a while so thought I'd post my score! 😁
Really liked the art style, little things like the lighting coming off of the furnace were nice. Got my brain going about what speed to travel at to manage the resources.
All the models were great too! The train was really cute.
Simple and effective :)
Very well done! Excellent work!
Excellent! I literally went :O at one point haha! Consider my expectations subverted! Very well done my man x
I absolutely love the art. Really cool style that I've not seen in a jam before, really well done! And the audio was cool too, nice voice acting :) Wasn't exactly sure if I was doing the right thing when it came to the alien but really impressive what you did! Well done!
Really like this. I played it to the end :) The levels felt well designed and the difficulty curve seemed to really fit. The levels explored the mechanic. Great idea! Cool audio and art also. Well done!
Really liked the art with this one! I ended up cutting it pretty close as I didnt want to spend my favours but just about did it! Cool audio too 😊 Well done guys!
Very enjoyable game! Just as I was getting comfy you chuck moving platforms in! 😂 When you make a multi bounce shot it's very satisfying. The combination of moving platforms and the bouncing made for some interesting level design! I'd play a bigger game with more block types and stuff 😁 But this was perfectly scoped for a LD game so kudos!
Very well done! Also it's Monogame so ++ 😉
Very atmospheric! I wasn't sure if anything was going to happen at first but it kept me watching till the end! Graphics were ♥ really well done :)
Awesome entry! Was more fleshed out that I thought it was going to be. Had a cool atmosphere. Excellent job!!
Wow this was so cool! I loved the low poly look and the textures were great! Amazing environments too! Really impressive feat for a game jam! Well done!
Great entry 🙂 Kinda calm and peaceful which is nice. The art was effective and the audio was very nice 😃 Interesting idea too! I initially wasn't using the teleporty things but once I figured out what I was supposed to be doing it was like 💡! Kept me playing and hunting down those bugs >:D Awesome job!!!
Wow amazing effort! Really cool package of gameplay art and audio. The art was great 👌 and voice acting too! The intro really set the tone too. And the upgrade system felt cool! almost a shame I didnt get to see all of it because I finished! That's a good problem to have I suppose ;p The designs of the characters were really cool also! Excellent entry and well done to the whole team
Interesting take on snake! controlling where the food is, not the snake, is a neat idea! The instruction manual was funny too 😂 cute cat! Well done!
A very polished and fun tower defence game! The laser turret is an intersting and I like how you have to aim it yourself, was very satisfying 😁 and quite challenging! The music made me laugh out loud, great pun! The graphics were simple, cute and effective. Really good effort, well done!
Cool entry :) Really liked the art, the colours were really nice! Fun idea that felt satisfying to play, good job!
Very interesting idea! Was a fun mechanic to try and master, unfortunately I wasn't able to beat it 😭 My brain couldn't hack it. Was definately a fresh take on platforming that I hadn't seen before! Great entry!
Wow very moody! LOVE the art style, really interesting to look at :smile: Would be interested to see where you would expand upon this next but hey ho it's a game jam :smile: The design of the kaiju was cool! Very Final Fantasy esque and the environment reminded me a lot of Skies of Arcadia. Very well done making something so moody and pretty in such a short time :grin: 👍👍👍
I really liked the graphics, I have a special place in my heart for billboard sprites ♥ Fun idea! The beams of light showing where each well is was a nice touch! Some audio and additional feedback for shooting/getting shot would have been cool but great entry! Well done :D
Very zen. 😊 the art was spot on. Put me in a very relaxed and content state whilst playing. Well done!
This was very stressfull! 😂 I loved the artstyle, it all felt very cohesive. And the audio was great too! All round well put together entry, well done!
Once I got the hang of kicking the balls around it became quite fun to hunt them down! I think the camera made it a little hard to judge distance but I think it added to the graphics. Which were really cute! I liked the music very much also, well done composing it! Great entry! Well done
Cool game! I didn't manage to make it until morning unfortunatly :( I was very bad at aiming the arrows! I like how you control the logs, felt very fun. Good idea and well excecuted! GOOD JOB 👍
Aw that was very cute! It kept my attention all the way until the end! A nice complete package, good art and audio too 🙂 I really liked the writing also! When it zoomed in on the fire near the end I was sad that it was ending like that but then I got to dance my way to victory! Great effort, good job!!!
Really cute game 🙂 Loved the ice cube graphics and the level tiles were cool too! The level design was neat also. Great entry! Really well done!
Cool idea! It was cool how you have to commit to your jumps but you still have the option to move during. I liked the interaction with the trampoline also. The graphics were great and the stages looks awesome 🙂 I also liked the little spot light following like it was really a circus 😄 a nice touch. Really well done! I liked it a lot!
I saved! I enjoyed this entry a lot. Had a retro, arcady feel to it. I would have liked to have a bit more variety in weapons or something. But overall a solid entry 😃 Well done
Wow this is legit! Super well done for making a NES game and a good one at that! The art style is :ok_hand: and has some interesting mechanics like throwing your buddy around!
👏 Great entry!!
Very cool environment and characters! I especially liked the purple dudes with long arms 😂 Watching all your team go and devour a whole bunch of bad guys was very satisfying! Maybe the guys could have been a little bigger but it was enjoyable and a lot of fun, good job!
Really cool and unique idea. And cool level design! I had a crash at one point, it seemed to be when I tried to possess a chest just as he opened it but not a big deal :) A really fresh idea and job well done! Great entry!
The slimes were so cute 😭 Took me a few attempts but I eventually defeated the hero! It's a great big level with lots of options to find food in. Was fun figuring out my route to get the most food in time! I also liked the cutscenes, a nice touch! Great entry! well done!
This was really cool! The difficultly felt fair, and I enjoy non-conventional control schemes. I got to 15 also! The theme was cool, I love Dune, and the menus were clean. It was an all round fun experience. 😁 Well done!
Very nice sword mechanic! Felt very satisfying to use. I like the presentation as well. The little touches like when you slice the green cube at the end of a level were 👌 10 levels and a boss? In 72 hours? Really well done guys!!!
It was kinda relaxing in a way 🙂 I think the art was really nice, especially the tiles. The audio was cute and calm. I enjoyed it a lot 😁 great entry!
I enjoyed this a lot! I really, really wanted to beat it but had to give up. 😭 The art style was very good and polished, it all fit together very nicely! I was really jamming along to the music too, some of my favourite I've heard this jam. Exellent entry! Well done to all involved 👍
My favourite game with crazy horny granpas 😂 Funny idea, cool game and nice art! It was quite hard though, a little more feedback on the attack would work well I think. All a fun entry 🙂 Good job!
Not sure if I'm just rubbish but I couldn't get past 23 seconds no mater how hard I tried 🤣 Fun little game! It made me want to keep trying!! I liked the way the menu swings in, a nice little touch. The environment is nice also :)
Just a small thing, the quit button didnt work for me and I had to alt+f4. Not a big deal just letting you know 😊
Good job!!!!
I got up to very hard difficulty. The wall mechanic was interesting and lead to me surrounded by heaven tanks drawing circles frantically! 😂 Groovy tunes as well! Was kinda stressfull to have to click down at the bottom to upgrade during gameplay but other than that well done!!
Fun game 🙂 I love bigfoot 😄 The aesthetic was great, loved the models and the shaders used, it all really worked well. I think bigfoots attack could have used a little more feedback but I suppose it was a stealth game! Really great entry well done!
Chill game :) I like the idea of figuring out what to do on a mystery island. Would have been cool if it was a little longer but its a jam what are ya gunna do 😂 I liked the art a lot too! It felt very comfy. Really well done and a great entry!
Aw loved it! Very cute, when the dude was like "awww thank you" ♥ 😂 Kept me clicking till the end! The graphics were lovely and it was easy enough to figure out and see till the end 🙂 really well done!
Cool entry! The music was groovy and I liked the models! The flashing red light was a little hard on the eyes and it was a little hard to see where I was aiming :stuck_out_tongue: but well done on completing your first Ludum Dare!
Great game! Honestly loved the art and all the particle effects were perfect! The missles were very satisfying to control so good job! It got really hard towards the end haha! Not sure if I just bought bad upgrades tho. Really well done!
I enjoyed this a lot 😂 A bit too real having worked in an office IRL. Not sure if this was intentional but WASD wasnt working so I had to use the arrow keys, not the end of the world! All the guys running around was a nice touch and the environment was great! Why was there a little penguin fella in the archive room, did he start the fire...? 🤔🤔🤔
Great entry guys! Good job!!!!
Nice package of well excecuted games. The audio was nice, cool music, and each game was fun! I wanted to play the racing one more, I only got it once! Because the games were simple i was able to pick them up fast and enjoy them. 9 games in one! Impressive! Well done 😀
It's very intense! The explosive barrels were satisfying. Was trying my best to keep going and the music added to the urgency. Cool idea! Good Job 😁
Thanks for all the kind comments everyone ♥ 😁
@dummydojo Thanks for the suggestions! The game would really benefit from them. Especially the 1st point about player controls. I'm already asking the player to try split their brain in half so giving them some time to practice would be fair :p Lesson leared! Thanks for the review!
@zessirb I'm sorry I dont have the builds for other platforms 😿 I would love to have it on Linux at least so I'll try over the next few days. This was my first proper project using Monogame so I'm still learning and next time I will hopefully have more builds available! Thanks for your comment 😃
Cool idea! Would have been nice to have it auto pickup the thing I was using. They're an agressive bunch of animals! They never seemed to stop fighting haha! Good effort, well done :)
I enjoyed this, the animations of the dinos were good and they felt nice to control. 🙂 It's chill and the graphics were very nice! I would like to see it expanded upon
Great game, the environments were lovely! very cinematic 😁 It was very hard but enjoyable once you got past hard bit. I struggled with the spikey stamp things as I would sometimes take damage when it moved up but a great entry overall! Well done!
Nice one, I liked the graphics and it was cool seeing what different spells I would get 😊 I did kinda wish the checkpoints where closer together 😅 Cool entry!
Interesting! I really love the colour pallete you went for and the idea was very interesting. Felt very D&D! Would love to see this expanded on. Good job!!!!
Really well made, well done! The art style is 👌 and the aiming very accurate and satisfying. Got quite intense once the parasites got stronger! I liked the menus also :p nicely polished. Great atmosphere and lighting. Very good job to all involved!!!
Great idea and lovely art direction. It all felt cohesive and set a good mood. I really like the movement mechanic but I think it would benefit from a few real easy levels at the start to help get the hang of it. But great effort and it's really good to see some original ideas! Really well done!
Fantastic presentation with this entry! The sound mechanic was well excecuted and the spider thingy was scary! 😂 Honestly was very tense when getting chased by him! Lovely ambient soundscape too. Would be very interested to see where this could be developed further. 😁 Really well done getting this done in the time limit!
Cool idea! I like using the mouse to control physics objects. The snail was cute too and I didn't want him to get got by beetles! Just a small thing, it said RMB but i seemed to have to use LMB 🤷♂️ Well done!!!
I loved the art style, the pixely textures were 👌 and the models were great. Cool level as well, felt fun to explore 🙂 I found the stamina a little punishing, might be funner if you could just swing away 😁 Good effort and great entry!
Took me a minute to understand how it worked but had surprising depth once I did! The sounds made me laugh out loud 😂 Very cool idea!
Really liked the art, kinda simple but it had a lot of character! You set up the scenario nicely with a quick intro and concise tutorial which was great. The mech was really well designed :) Not sure if i was just being dumb but I struggled to know what was what but found some stuff eventually :) Very cool entry good job!!!!!!
One of my favourite games so far! Really charming and really great art and sound. I had a few goes, on my second I crashed right at the last second 😭😭 When i lost a few guys off the side of my plane the sound they mad was very sad haha awesome job! really well done!
Wow. 😂 Great art and character design haha made me laugh before I even pressed play! The audio is great too. Took a minute or 2 to figure out the controls but once I had them I was rollin. Very neat idea and unique too! Amazing job for just 72 hours! Be Proud! 🎉🎉
Haha made me laugh. Very silly and fun experience! The audio was great too. The boob success track was a banger. 10/10 boobs, had a great time. GOOD JOB 👏
Had a great time with this, addictive gameplay and lovely visuals. You also achieved a great level of game "juice" :) cool audio and music too! One little thing, I like to use the arrow keys in a game like this, and it also would have been nice to press a button on the keyboard to retry but thats small stuff!
good job and great effort! 👏
Wow! Amazing job on this game. Really good well rounded entry. The art was very cute, the sound design/music was great. And the game itself was very fun and polished! The point loss was a bit punishing but all round a great entry!
I really liked this. Lovely art style and neat puzzle design! Great entry that feels polished and I enjoyed myself alot! Good job!
Awesome vibe with this one. The art was perfect, the audio was great and together they created a great mood. I zoomed in and saw all the little dudes running around, a very nice touch. But imagine living on a tower and it falling over 😬😬 Also the weather effects really added to it! Amazing job to all involved!
It's difficult haha! even on easy, I might just be bad though haha. The sprite stacking you did is really effective and has created a really nice visual style. The effects of the earthquake also looked really really good. The audio was on point too!
really good entry 😁 good job!
Neat entry, i like a game where you dont have direct control of the units. It was interesting to try and get good coverage with the buff/debuff items. I think more variety in the units you can place, and them having an effect on where you would want to place them would be interesting! But yeah its a jam so 😋 Good effort and neat idea I would like to see expanded upon!
An extremely interesting and cool game! Very impressive! Had me really thinking of how to improve what I was doing. As others have said it was difficult to pick up but worth pushing through! I imagine it must be difficult balance a game like this in the timeframe so amazing job!
The UI was great and the graphics crisp. I kinda forgot I was playing a jam game for a minute!
WELL DONE 👏👏
I absolutely loved this entry! Made me laugh! and yeah you stayed in each section just as long as needed. I did spend a while with the hammer in the first stage haha! Great package that kept me guessing and was very refreshing and fun :) really good job 👏👏
Really neat entry. I loved the lighting and general vibe. Chill audio as well! I also liked the level challenges as they made me play the levels in different ways. Its hard though haha! REally good job! 👏
Wow awesome entry! Really cool idea, excecuted very well with some neat level design. 😁 It feels like a cohesive package. I loved the art too, the particle effects were 👌 I also liked that when you die the hat goes flying and the camera follows.
Really well done on a great entry! 👏
Lovely art style and theme on this one. The hand slapping the TV made me jump haha! It kinda had me spooked! The audio was really well done too :) Great effort and good job!
Damn Abel is very unstable 😂 Fun and cute entry! The graphics were nice and the audio was fitting! unstableable.png this was my best score! I had fun, good job!
Simple but very effective. I played with a gamepad and it was super satisfying to control the plane. Its was forgiving too, being able to crash and not blow up makes it a very chill experience. Really great entry, good job!
Really neat entry! The idea was cool and it felt tense running around the place trying to keep it going. The atmospheric sounds were a nice touch and really added to the mood. Maybe some sort of indicator as to where you've got to go next? Also it's nice to pee in game so good job 👏👏
I had a lot of fun with this! I had a few goes to get to the boss but never had a good enough set of powerups by the time i got there. It was interesting to decide to go to more rooms but risk getting cut off. The boss was cool too, nice abilities! I think i'll go back and have one more go... good job!
Really good idea to combine the mechanics in the way that you have, very unique! The tune is a bop also so good job! It feels like a complete package and for the time frame that is very well done! The aliens are cute also.
GOOD JOB! 👏
hahaha fun game. Got some strange looks from my wife whilst playing this! Cute art and sound too. Fun entry :) good job
I enjoyed this a lot! 😄 It was a neat idea excecuted very well. I like your lighting and physics! And it's nice to see another monogamer out in the wild 😁 It follows the theme and it plays well, overall a great jam entry good job to all involved 👏
Really cool, I enjoyed it alot. The puzzles were presented very well and i was able to keep on solvin! It made me feel smart haha 😁 The story around the puzzles grounded the experience and gave it some meaning which was great! I imagine it was difficult to balance puzzles in a jam game so really well done!
GOOD JOB! 👏👏
Really nice entry. The qitty and it's particles look amazing! The sound was very cute and fitting too. It was a fun challenging experience. I would love to see a longer version of this with more levels! Great effort good job 👍👍
Fun game! It took me like 5 attempts to defeat the dragon haha, i had a really good run the 4th time but it all shifted and i lost 2 castles down the holes, ARGHH!
It fit the theme really well and kept me interesting enough to have multiple attempts and beat it! I literally said YES out loud when I finally did it haha 😂
Nice audio too!
really good entry good job! 👏
Really nice entry. Great mood and the art was very cute. I liked the face on then core of the planet 😁 Soothing audio also. It was quite engrossing! well done! 👏👏
Thanks for the kind words everyoen! Some great feedback. The game can be fullscreened with F5 or in the options menu if that wasnt clear. 🙂
@westmave I tried to design the levels to force shooting sometimes but yeah you can get past the dudes. With more time I would add an incentive to shoot the guys but you live and learn!
Thanks everyone!
Thanks again for the lovely comments everyone!
@player-2 This is not something I've noticed but I will investigate! Thanks a lot for the helpful info!
@leandro4002 it is not on github currently, I'm proud of it but also embarressed at the same time haha. I've written it kinda in a void so it works for me but not sure how anyone else would get one with it. It would need some serious tidying up if I was to release it to the public and I would rather just keep plowing ahead making some games! Thanks for your comment.
Thanks again everyone, some great feedback! ♥
On reflection, the gun should do less damage to the player and the enemies should do more damage I think. I might put out a Post Jam "Rebalance" version at some point in the next few weeks so thanks for all the feedback!
@leuthil I'm sorry to hear that! Thanks for the info, I will look into it. And you are correct I think it would have benefited alot from some environmental obstacles. We'd made some sprites for a mine and some barbed wire but I was running out time 😢 The pressure rate idea is a great suggestion, I might put that in the post-jam version too 😁 thanks!
I really loved the art and sound. :) especially the parralax background and the particle effects. I gave it my best shot but it was very hard! before you get the hat it is very difficult to move haha :p a very good all round package. well done!
Neat and well packaged game with a focused vision! Really cool entry and amazingly put together in 48hours! Art was good, sound was good, menus were good. Good all round! well done 👏👏
Cool and well excecuted entry :) I thought the music was good and the world building around it was neat too! Good effort adding a story in a ludum dare game! It was intriguing 😄 As someone else said I think 2 handed would have made it a bit easier to control. But good job :) well done
Cool entry :) The music was very nice and fit the game. It had me coming back for more! I got blasted by a falling rock a few times haha but it seems balanced! good job!
Man i really, really tried to go right but I just coudln't 😂 Thats the nature of these sorts of games tho so im not mad! Good job, cute and funny entry that had me hunched over my keyboard with effort.
Absolutely loved the art and audio! Really well done. It was very difficult. As someone else put it its not for the impatient haha! but really neat package and felt polished :) good job to all involved <3
Fun and short 😁 I love a balancy/marble game like this. The level was fun and the ball moved nicely. I played with gampad and the camera moved a little fast but other than that good effort! well done
Neat game. Kudos on writing your own physics, I've been there, its hard work! I liked how the camera zoomed in and out to show more/less when it needed to. There was a level where i kept spawning on top of some spikes, not sure if it was intentional but i sort of spammed jump and got out eventually.
Great job though, well done mate! 👏
Really cool entry, super hard but fun xD The graphics were great and it all formed a great package. well done to all involved!!!!
Very nice entry 😃 The controls felt good and the physics felt nice too. The sound was solid and the art was great! I liked the particle effects and the ice when it went underwater 🙂 If i had one suggestion, the background would look even better if it was parallax scrolling! Fun and challenging levels, great art, great entry 😁😁 good job!
Very atmospheric! I love the theme. It had me spooked and made me jump a few times. 😂 Took me a minute to figure out what I was supposed to be doing but once I got going it had me gripped! Really good effort to put this together in 3 days!
Very cool entry. Once I figured out how to use the smaller gaps to get the minotaur away from where I was going, it ended up having some strategy haha. The music and mood were nice too :) Good entry
The idea of having to stop and wait is neat! (we did something similar in our game haha) And the music was a bop. 😄 The jumping took a little getting used to but was fine when I did. Good effort and great entry! well done
Very neat idea and theme! I love the setting of if the Great War didn't end. I've been into WW1 recently haha 😁 This is brimming with potential and I would love to see where it goes next! Good job!
Neat game! As others have said it would have definitely benefited from more minigames but its a game jam so it is what it is haha! The art style was crisp and neat and the environment was interesting to look at! The audio was well done also 😃 Good effort! 👏
It was a fun entry that was tense, I managed to get around 500. The variety of controls available was very handy in lining up the blocks 😁 And they felt good too, as a previous commenter has mentioned, it felt good when you dropped them and they stuck. I feel like a rotate button might have allowed for more variety in how you could stack them but maybe it would change it too much. the art was nice and the sound was great too :D
good job!
Took me a minute to get it but once I did it was fun 😃 The art set the mood nicely and the light effect was very cool. Good effort!
Very abstract and interesting! Wasn't sure what to expect from the screenshots but was pleasantly surprised! The mood was 100% on point and the sound effects were perfect. It kinda had be feeling tense and kinda dizzy i guess haha very interesting. I'm not sure what I felt whilist playing this but it was something! Everything went grey and i think that was the end? Really cool and unique entry, good job! 👏👏
Cute character design and satisfying controls :) If I had one critique, the music was a little quiet compared the the sounds so it was hard to hear! Other than that a really solid entry, well done! 👏👏
Haha very fun. My wife was giving me funny looks whilst I played this lol. I seemed to get got by a bear kinda randomly sometimes, but really great effort for 72 hours! The audio combined with my silly noises made for a good soundtrack haha Neat idea and sounds like you had fun with it 😁 GOOD JOB
