I agree it's a lot of text to read before starting the game. The mechanics are nice, but the game is a bit hard. I guess stealth games are hard to balance (I did something similar, check it out).
Some enemy pathfinding would have been nice (then the game would even be harder, so maybe then you would have to add something that the player can actually run away successfully).
Web version does not work on Windows (tried Firefox and Chrome, fails with 404 on some jsStorage.js file). Since the Windows version works fine, you might wanna just take down the Web link?
Anyway, cool bullet-time effect ;-) But why make such a game with the Unreal Engine? seems overkill to me.
Very well-made game, especially the mood, audio and the drawings. The dialogue was a bit too long for my taste.
I'm not sure how it fits to the current LD theme.
Needed C++ 2013 runtimes to run this (download here:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/E/6/2E61CFA4-993B-4DD4-91DA-3737CD5CD6E3/vcredist_x86.exe )
There does not seem to be a win condition (I ran the European mission)
What a cool way to interpret the theme. There was a "woah" effect when the level starts coming down =)
Enjoyed those puzzles. That's a really well-polished game with a nice learning curve. The only thing that doesn't make sense to me is that you can control the angle of the board. Maybe just start with a good angle and leave it fixed?
This is ... f*ing ... HILARIOUS!!!! I want a multiplayer version :D I think the entertainment value in this game is just the impossible body positions experienced in the game :D
Very well polished game with fitting art-style. However, there is a small bug when you click "Pick an action" and then click it again (instead of picking one of the options).
Great art style. Really well-rounded game. Personally, I did not enjoy the gameplay so much.
Could not run this entry =/
Have Java 1.7 installed, file opens but nothing happens.
Nice concept and use of sounds :)
Well made, simple game. But I got stuck after the second level, didn't find the door (even though I got a key).
Please do not use Z in your controls, as there are (german and other) keyboard layouts that will make the game unnecessarily difficult to play ;-)
Nice simple game though with a nice feeling to it.
Really well-crafted game - down to the little details, like the dust particles when you walk around...
Very clever puzzle game! This is critique on a high level, but I found the game a bit too linear. It's quite easy to solve the puzzles because there is only ever (mostly) one way to go forward.
Also, I did not like the way the game punishes you when you die - you have to start all over completing all the puzzles again (not very exciting, since you know them already). But again, this is just nitpicking!
Really fun experience. Not sure how it fits into the theme though.
Of all games I played so far, I enjoyed this the most :) Especially like the twist with the IE tower ^^
A bit hard to understand the path when it is shown... makes the game even harder than it is on hard mode :) nice one!
Quite the tough game! The mood reminded me a bit of Portal. The controls feel a bit sluggish, especially the jumping mechanic. Quite frustrating sometimes.
But other than that, great game.
What a beautiful game. And really well-polished. I especially liked the art style and the way the story was told. Some of the controls very bit clunky, but the mood of the game more than made up for that.
Great use of the theme. Really liked the level design, even though I had to try many times on the last level. Well-polished!
I like the style of this game :)
Would love some more detailed tutorial though, because I could not figure out the mechanics to keep the crew alive. Constantly getting eaten by aliens =/
Fun idea! Starts off a little slow but then picks up pace as you start playing around with the jumping mechanics.
yes, smash those ... crates! :D nice procedurally generated platformer. pretty basic drawings...
LOL. Nice take on the turing test. Would like to restart the game without waiting for the intro text though ;)
Like the game mechanics :) very rewarding!
Woah, this game is hardcore. Whoever came up with those puzzles is a sadist ;-) I like puzzle games but this is really hard. The art work is great and if you DO discover some endings, the outcome and the badges are rewarding ;-)
10000 $ in a few minutes. Wish I was that easy in real life ;) Fun little game, some sounds would have been nice.
Quite addictive :) Tried different strategies, but easiest is to just use lightning and never let any kind of city evolve in the first place...
Can totally relate to building you own engine :) The jumping mechanics already feels solid. Now start with the graphics ;-)
Could not figure out how to build those turrets. Tried everything, rightclicking, leftclicking, q, w, e ... but I can just buy them, not place them.
Thanks for the feedback. I didn't realize it was so hard. Thought about adding the view-area of the guards, but then it may be too easy ;-)
Stay behind the guards and you can complete the levels without getting detected! Outrunning them is also possible (sometimes), but more tricky...
@Firefox: Thanks for pointing that out. I think the game will only work on Windows with Firefox, because of the mp3 music.
Mood is great, not sure if it has a winning condition? Anyway I got 100 resources but the roof is gone after day 5 :D
I like the graphics and the shading :) very similar to terraria.
Yeah this is a precision game :D I gave up after finishing half the level. Great use of the theme though.
Looks beautiful. So far, so good ;)
Good luck with the rest!
Didn't manage to write a virus to take over the internet ;-)
Enjoyed the dialogue though ;)
One thing that strikes me about this game is that it gets a lot easier to aim if you make the browser window smaller - hope that doesn't count as cheating ;-)
Great to see another stealth game in this LD (I made a similar game, albeit more focus on the sneaking and not on killing).
Thinks I liked:
* The graphics and indicators of the guards vision
* Sniping mechanics
* Different types of enemies
Things I didn't like so much:
* Movement controls
* That I have to start from Level1 if I fail a mission ;-)
Not sure why ANYONE would make a game about snowmen :D anyway, nice little game, a bit simple.
Found a bug ^^
"In script ai_check_can_win:
Error in code at line 50:
if(check_player(board[j,i+k]) != 1)"
Anyway, interesting concept. However, without the sorceress a lot of units can get stuck. Did not like that aspect of the game. Still, innovative concept!
Simple as it is, it's surprisingly addictive. Not sure what's the point of the upgrades though. I got em all, but it would be great to make money faster when using those :) All it seems to change is that you get so see new type of fish.
A bit frustrating as sometimes you lose randomly (maybe because there is McConaughey coming in but not yet visible?)
got the same problem as DiegoMustache when downloading: flagged as malicious by chrome
