Nice game, I felt like it wasn't too hard, but not too easy either. Only difficulty issue is that it was almost too easy at the end, but I sort of liked it given the Jam (I wanted to see the end). I really love the NES titles - this is the second I've come across and I'm just really impressed. The sound was really well done, GG.
Great story... music + story really got me into it. At first I was about to just hit close and move on because it was taking too long, but then it hooked me til the end. Speaking of, I love the ending.
Goodbye.
Nice game - I'm not sure I liked the bubble effect that some others did like... I don't see how it added to the ambiance at all. That said, the levels were well put together for a Jam. I had an issue with yoinking where E didn't work unless I hit it multiple times... maybe I went through the directions too fast, but can yoinking fail? Does it always require multiple yoinks? Sometimes it did it on the first try, other times more.
I'm impressed! Making me think I want to try NES next jam. Good job!! Only missing piece? Background music/sound.
I enjoyed the game, but I really wish there had been some sort of ending. After about 5 minutes I just suicided in a massive pack of relatives that I was kiting around. If there was an ending, it would have been good to know what sort of progress was being made to get there.
actually pretty well done, but I have to say - having ctrl as the shoot button in HTML5 export sort of f'd with me with arrow keys as movement on a mac (apparently it's an alternate "view all windows" shortcut.)
Wow, amazing game! Can't really say too much more than that... I hope you take this one the distance. Did you do the MIDI yourself for LD41 or is that a download from somewhere?
Brilliant! It took a minute for me to get the hang of it, but wow - absolutely fun game. I bet you could port this to mobile and make some $$ - no joke. It's a good "timewaster" type of game IMHO
well done! I think a minimap would be a great addition.
Well done! Nice and simple. I'm not sure if surviving a wave gave you any health back, but I found myself wanting powerups and/or life return. Maybe I didn't play enough...
Wow, that's a hard game... I think there needs to be some sort of "on deck" concept where you know the cards coming up (edit: nevermind, right click to hold - that said, I think it'd be really interesting to run it like a tetris game where you know the "next card" coming). There were times when I'd start off and there'd be no way to "get past" the upcoming obstacle.
Great concept I like the hardcore aspect...
This is a really great game! There's some balance issues with the deck running out of cards (not sure if that's intentional) but I'd like to see what I think is some sort of re-shuffle of the deck when you finish. Maybe I missed something, but I'd get to round 5-6 and just have no cards. GG, very well done.
Really neat theme idea - very similar to my own (weight gain = bad).
Holy hell that's a hard game... I really love the design, music and theme to the game. It's just WAY too hard to enjoy.
I love the game! I really echo the call for a post-jam polished version. This could be a great mobile time killer type game. The music is super catchy and sounds really familiar. Is it a reference to something specific? I'm thinking SNL or something like that... but I can't quite place it.
It's a unique idea. Ultimately, I found the gameplay to not really be thematic as it doesn't make sense that I'd be going to the phone of "So and so" to send them an emoji. I almost wonder if there could be some other way to accomplish the same gameplay element with a better theme.
But, it's a unique idea nonetheless. Good job.
Thanks for this! I really enjoyed it. The terminal interface was a really neat add. thumbs up!
I really enjoyed this game. Not much to say in addition to the other comments.
Neat idea! I liked the graphics, but the left player's keyboard layout was busted or something. Multiplayer is a bit tough to get the full experience with a LD entry (as I'm learning -- I was aiming for multiplayer myself before I cut it)
Still though, I dig it.
The game needs more gameplay elements as others have said. Keep at it! I hope you had fun with your first entry.
That was a really neat game. Other than the fact that fullscreen was all black on my PC when I first started it up, it played really well and I enjoyed it.
Thanks!
Multiplayer is a really neat idea; however, you should really add some single player element or it gets really hard to rate your game.
I have to echo @solah's comment - the game mechanic is awesome. I like how you run out of energy, but you're not racing a clock, you just are hampered by not having your light. Well thought up!
I'm still confused at the health bar bit and I found it to be a very hard game. Is the goal to not be able to survive for very long (aka, wave shooter flappy bird?) or is it supposed to be beatable?
Hey, neat idea for a game. I had a similar idea... power being ruler power not electrical power...
I have one major gameplay issue which plagues a lot of games. Too much stuff!!
There's too many choices to make sense of any of it. I had very little feedback or direction other than the immediate power change.
I think it'd go better with fewer choices that open up over time (aka, do soemthing war-like and you get an additional option for war). Either that or rotate the game to have choices. You chose war and then randomly select 3 of the war cards.
Anyway, GG guys!

Keep Hope Alive by joe40001 2020-05-09T12:58:28Z ♥ 1
I think this is a great game. It's probably a little too hard to play at first, but with some practice I bet it's a lot easier. For a jam, I think it's great. I love the unique take on the theme -- it's quite refreshing!

I really love the idea! Great theme music and art... I, like the others, had a hard time doing stuff in the game and gave up.
Rock on guys, great work nonetheless

I noticed by hitting 'e' I killed myself. What's up with that?
Cthulhu: The Cult Must Not Die by LaserPanzerWal 2020-04-25T17:47:51Z ♥ 3
I agree with the many other comments. With some combat polish, I think this could be a lot better. Overall, it's amazing graphics and sound for a weekend jam.

Came from reddit (nice job with the animated gif, always a good way to get people to play). Like the other commenters have said, great job - good submission! I really enjoyed playing!
Heart of the World Tree by Arttu Halonen 2020-04-23T20:25:07Z ♥ 1
I agree with some of the other commenters - the game needs some "more" to be more fun. Just blocking balls doesn't feel that fun. I'd love to have a way to remove the extra balls that come, maybe creating a temporary spike on the tree? I dunno, but it just needs "more".
Overall, great submission! Good sound with good (and simple) graphics.
Don't Go Grandpa by Ignacio Zamorano 2020-04-22T20:06:51Z ♥ 0
Amazing entry! Just like everyone else has said, this is a great game. As it's topical, I highly encourage you guys to make this playable on a phone -- I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Make sure to post back if/when you publish a final copy.

While I had absolutely zero idea of what I was doing, I really liked it! I felt like I was doing something at least, but I have no idea why I died. The concept of the citizen reserve was lost on me so maybe a better tutorial or something (btw, I'm totally guilty of this too!) Hint: make sure you add sound. My first few game jams I'd leave sound to the absolute last minute and it was always a big turnoff for folks. Even basic sounds make all the difference. If you did have sound, then it wasn't working in HTML5.

Really solid submission. If I had a desire, it would be that I didn't have to use the same key to open and pick up. Maybe just hold to open and run over to pick up? It just felt a little awkward.

Wow that's hard! I'm really impressed at the unique gameplay here - You should consider polishing it up some and shipping it.
Fading Ember by Brelx 2020-04-21T20:47:04Z ♥ 2
Very hard game, but really well done. Some of the transitions need work (like when you respawn, for example). But really, I'm nitpicking. GJ!
The Machine at the Center of the Earth by p53 2020-04-21T12:46:52Z ♥ 0
Very nice job, I like your list of post-submission goals. It's not that you didn't think of it - we just have a time limit is all :) I seemed to do very poorly and the machine died way too fast... I guess it's a matter of remembering which light is which. Also, as you mentioned, having some sort of level progression or end is good.
Oh Crap! by BackwardsCap 2020-04-21T02:29:19Z ♥ 0
I feel like this 3-in-1 game really misses the mark on the whole. On one hand, it's an interesting to mix it up, but on the other I don't feel engaged at all. I'd rather see any one of those mini games opened up and flushed out instead of all 3.

Great graphics! I had some issues controlling the guys, but I mostly got it. Really great menu!
