Really enjoyed exploring! Graphics look solid, feels nice. I kept getting stuck on some of the bridges, even ones without stuff on them. Definitely something I'd play more of if you were to expand on it! Good work.
160 points there - Didn't realize at first that getting hit removes the game! Very interesting entry, like the strong colors - The sound effects and bold colors reminds me of older style early PC games. Good balance of fun and difficulty.
I got all the bones! Engaging and fun little puzzles. I like the bark between each teleport. Only thing was at the end when I was at the last bone, waiting for the extra time to switch locations, but I don't think that can be avoided. Well designed and a good entry!
@dreamscale Totally agree - I think using the time as friction is a great way to expand on this. Thanks for taking the time to try it out!
An unusual but certainly pleasant entry! I tried a couple times to get the "good ending" but failed :smile: - Great usage of the AI art and its integration with the story. I think I would have like to see the paths diverge more showing more of the city, but there is only so much you can do with so little time! I'd love to see more of this format. Good work!
Nice work! Getting used the controls took a bit, and understanding how it all fit together took a bit of time, but once I got a flow going, it was good!
Simple but enjoyable! Kept thinking of different ways I could 'chunk' areas to try and recall similar where similar items are. Found myself much more drawn to numbers than letters. I'd be curious to play with the code and rules and see how it feels with different settings. Nice work!
The best game I've played so far - Great job getting all of that in! Got what I assume is the 'good ending' because I'm a stupid baseball kid!
Congrats on getting your entry in! Took me a moment to get adjusted and understand I needed to hold shift to move. After getting past that, I think my only real problems were getting a good angle on the zombies and sometimes, telling what word I was on. For example, if I had multiple zombies in my radius, and started typing on the one closest to me, it would sometimes choose a different one in a group, and I couldn't read what it said.
Overall it plays real nice, and the church bell for the 10 second mark is great. Only thing I would want to add is maybe the occasional weapon that just has a ton of ammo so I could really knock a whole lot of zombies out before moving again.
Nice work!
Good work on the entry! I enjoyed exploring around the system looking for secrets. Good music on the cow game! I'd maybe like a hint or two more about how to get around and do things, but overall I enjoyed it.
120 dents in 120 seconds! I like that all the cars and trucks kept piling up and didn't just disappear off-screen. Audio was fun and I enjoyed myself.
Nice work and solid loop! I think what others have touched on are about right. I think the loop ended up being mostly the same after getting used to things. Totally understand keeping scope creep down though. Solid work, graphics, and nice little tune there!
Really nicely done! Love the way it looks, gameplay is interesting, and I enjoyed seeing how long I could last. I would have liked some sort of reticle in the center, but not a big deal. Also maybe a more consistent way to get new items? Anyways, really well polished overall, really evokes its style well.
Congrats on getting your entry in. This is very high quality! Good graphics, music, shooting felt good and the pace polished. I think the only things I'd change is maybe starting the small fast enemies a little further away and I think I would generally like health and lives so I can finish a level rather than being sent on.
Excellent entry though!
Congrats on getting the entry in! Really enjoyed it once I got used to things. I thought at first selecting a power changed what I was currently doing, so a tad confused there. But after that I really enjoyed trying different strategies. Music is super groovy and the visuals were solid. Nice entry!
Congrats on getting your entry done! Definitely reminds me of Overcooked and I enjoyed it. As others mentioned, camera was a tad wonky sometimes. Also, with the way some of the levels are laid out, I would try to grab a flask and it would get pulled into the mixer as I tried to take it away. A solid and fun entry that looks good! Nice job.
Reminds me of the old Mega Man levels from the NES (Though they probably have similar mechanics in the more recent titles). Took me a bit to understand what was going on, but I got there. The first level confused me since I thought I'd need to get on the platforms. Once I got used to things I found myself wanting more levels. Nice work!
Interesting concept! Got 45 points on my 3rd go. I understand the concept of going with slow movement - Maybe having a preview of where you're going to place the piece would be good? Then if someone is wondering why a piece isn't moving, they can get visual feedback. Again, very interesting!
Nice work! Being bi and having the 'both' option is always a nice touch :smile: - I think it would be nice if the speech bubble question marks were activated on 'mouse down' instead of 'mouse up' since I found myself starting to click on them, but not quite have it activate all the time. Got 20 points on my second go. Good work!
Congrats on the entry! Overall, very smooth, and fits what is on the tin. I think some basic sound would do quite a bit to expand on the feel of the entry. Also, a small change I might make is when spawning an enemy, checking the distance to the main character and making sure it is at least a certain distance away. Solid loop and the neon glow wasn't overbearing like some entries. Good work.
A solid complete work here! When I started, I admittedly didn't understand at first that I was going to need to memorize the arrow order, but after I got that down, things went well. Though sometimes I felt like when it would switch to "?", the animation made me feel like I entered something incorrectly. Overall, very well done and a solid entry!
Congrats on the entry! A very fun use of AI and glad to see it used like this. I think the biggest downside was wanting to spend more time understanding each character, but I guess that's why I never did speed dating :smile: - Mechanically, I understand why the broken hearts are there, but it felt like that added a bit more frustration than fun. That could be personal taste though. Having the Rolodex was an excellent touch. Now you just need a way to follow up with your dates!
Nice work! Can't seem to rate the game, but I enjoyed the look and gameplay. Kept oversteering at first hitting the wall but got used to it. Would maybe like to see another layer as the rounds go on (Cross through a city? Avoid animals or pedestrians? etc...) but still had a good time! Nice work!
Fun idea! I'd love to see it expanded upon. The style kind of reminds me of the old rotoscoped games, but a much nicer color palette. I'm going to give it a few more tries with some different strategies.
Fun little puzzle, well done graphics, I enjoyed it! Audio balance was a little off for me with the sfx being much louder and the music quieter. But good work!
Fun and informational :smile: Wish you could backspace when making an error, but that's okay. Good on testing unusual words and letter combinations I don't usually type!
Nice work! Pleasant to play, looks and sounds nice too! It may have just been the cards I was dealt, but it felt like the enemies were getting stronger faster than my cards could synergize. I may be misunderstanding something though. Either way, this is a good entry!
Dang. What an experience. Not much else to say, good work!
Good job completing your entry! I ran for like 9 seconds on the first go and didn't understand I needed to try to minimize movement to start. I also liked that it didn't start until I started moving. I think maybe some obstacles would have been nice as you get further but a nice concept!
Nice work getting the entry done! Looks really cute, enjoyed exploring the world. Music was nice. Got stuck in one corner but when I exited full screen it seemed to fix itself. I think the most tedious part was waiting 30 seconds for Spring to come around again, but it wasn't that big of a deal. Not much I think can be done about that. Thanks for the fun entry :smile:
Solid work and congrats on getting your entry done! Took a short bit to get adjusted and fully understand how the marking system worked. I think in general if I were using a joystick instead of a keyboard, the 'marking' would feel better - With a keyboard I felt like I was wandering around in circles and then approaching at an odd angle.
For sure thought the pumpkins were enemies at the start :smile:. Maybe in a bonus final round they could attack? Of course when you only have a weekend, you can only add so much.
Only thing I would have added is maybe some sort of low-powered attack you can also use while running around? Maybe that'd be too much with the marking, but it felt like there was sometimes a gap where I wanted to do something, but everything was already marked. Good work!
Congrats on the entry! Was fun exploring the dungeon, liked the dialogue system and mechanics. Got stuck on the spikes/hot tiles a couple times, but otherwise no other issues. The slash for the sword felt a bit far away from the character, but overall using it felt good. Nice work!
Good work completing your entry! The graphics and textures look nice, though I think it would be nice if the enemies maybe exploded when getting close to you dealing damage? That way they don't take up too much of the screen space and there is a larger threat to them. A game over maybe showing a score would also be nice. But good work getting your game done!
