Really nice concept and enjoyed the gameplay. I have played games like these but can't pinpoint the genre but I love these. I wonder if there is one best solution for keeping the most important blocks.
I honestly love the sheer creativity, as I instantly posted on the itch io page, the speakers and the bowl with a little more effort could actually look like a real plant. A little more effort on the ui would have been awesome. Very fun project.
Love the artwork, very rarely I get to find a new phaser game. I think I love this genre of chemistry type games. The dialogues were fun, and brilliant that you made this in 48 hours.
Frustating but enjoyable. And given that this was made in 6 hours, incredible job!
Given your interpretation of the theme, this is the nicest play on words since the history of playing on words, may be ever.
I feel like if the game was left more abstract then one could just describe it anyway they like. Good luck for the exams you mentioned on the page.
It really builds up the mystery. :v:
An enjoyable chemistry game that goes well with the theme. I think this should be worked on to make a bigger game as it was very fun to play.
Edit:I said veey fun to play :-D
Conceptually this is terrific, when the game does stops working therego unstable, we've all won.
Very challenging, given that I checked it out by myself, but the mechanics are good, combining two different games is a great idea. I will play this again though. Good game
Nice play on words. Game isn't running on my device so I can't rate it but the screenshots look pretty great, abstract but fun.
Fun Idea, love that there are game modes, and just been laughing with the description and everything. Had fun playing with it. The physics is just amazing. It's challenging enough that I will keep playing it. Great game.
Great to C new games with Raylib! :-D
We all know what tv show we are thinking about, loved the gameplay.
Its like chemistry turned into an rpg :)
The art style got me to look at the game. Honestly I enjoyed playing it, but I think the game could use more elements, perfect for the jam version though. I think half the time I was just attacking myself :-). Good game.
Retro vibe, will be checking it out.
Great conceptually and the game is brilliant, the gameplay is smooth and the animations are right on point. I liked the art. Good luck for the jam.
The artwork is just beautiful.
It was fun to play. The best part I think is how efficient the AI appears to be. Very optimised.
You are now a JS programmer. The risky thing when thinking about starting a project in js is performance, sometimes it ends up being a bottleneck way after the game has been developed. The dialogue felt meaningful. The gameplay was a ton of fun. The game design overall is something to learn from.
I love chemistry games.
I think it was a beautiful game, cool art and puzzles, a polished game overall.
This game really has the humour factor, specially when I read the web links that got me laughing out loud. Very good game. It could however use some more RAM. :-D
thanks @enricomandelli
thanks @kazatan
Thanks @ilokimo , I used the graphics to bring in that old game vibe :)
Thank you @fabdynamic
Thank you @butterkatt
Thanks @doc-kaos
Thank you @richard-baron , I suppose adding a border and perhaps a background could add to the vampiric element.
Edit: It probably won't remain 4 kb though.
Thank you @tattomoosa , I indeed plan on adding new stuff, and I will be adding my high scores to compete against.
Thanks @robert18
Thank you @zapturk
Thank you @shootboots , I will be working on the spawning.
Thank you @theviraldragon
Thank you @iluvatar
Thank you @owl-skip , :-D
Thanks @elastic
Thanks @paperaeroplane555 , more variety in terms of lore and weapons is being added and will be posted after the jam.
Thanks @mickm for checking this out. A pc revisit is must for this. The commands I kept are rather simple like "jump" or saying just "right". And fighting vampires with bare hands is probably not a good idea :-D
Thanks @ivysly , by the way trying to get a good enough highscore to challenge others to beat is turning my fingers pretty unstable when I mistype :-D. Thank you for checking it out.
Thank you so much @wuppos .
Thank you @bloodbane for checking it out.
Thank you @fabernull
My sincere thanks to @noeloskar @minidavid @bougiebirdie @circle @pvp @dekajoo @slimmerburger @mikoziq @sawdust @hjalte and @duck-reaction for checking out my game.
A very fun game to play, the graphics added up to the overall vibe and I enjoyed the game thoroughly.
Kind of challenging game to be honest, loved the art. Lovely game.
Love the vibe! 3d always takes a lot of work.
The game managed to be very cute despite being a shooter.
Graphics are so good they look almost realistic :-D .
Awesome to find a live action game.
I must say I specially like the controls as it gave the game a retro feel. The idea for taking screenshots seem brilliant (although I could not get it to work since I tried pressing Fn+F8. Awesome gameplay, it looked pretty polished since I could point to any direction. Good game.
I love the tv effect, specially I still hadn't seen it in a godot game. Nice shader work.
Wonderful graphics and fun gameplay. Lua is great to program with. The game you have finished is amazing for a first jam
It's amazing that you managed to make an RTS. I loved the art style and the game play. I am sure you will be expanding on this, great game.
love the graphics! I was just staring at it. Gameplay is fun too. I think the if the gameplay gets much faster and faster then it will be more challenging and fun.
I really love fast paced games, the art beautifully complemented the game. I have even bookmarked the page for playing again. Good game.
A simple game but very enjoyable.
This is one of those games where you know a lot is going on behind the scenes but I can't quite put my finger on it. Got here to see what others think and I see the dev saying
"Sometimes they make 5d intergalactic chess moves and yeet themselves across the map at you too ;)"
:-D :-D I had fun playing it, will be looking for updates.
A very enjoyable piece, challenging for me as I couldn't play it as efficiently as I could, but I enjoyed as far as I could reach. Conceptually it was very very interesting given how different the buildings were, I believe there's more in it.
I don't think your record can be beaten. The game nicely works with the theme. Great gameplay for sure.
I thought a funny comment would be to just write "relatable". :-D Fun game, double vision effect certainly is kinda annoying. I had great fun playing with it and it does gets very challenging. Funny that I made a infinite runner too but your story concept is way funnier. Good game
I saw the cover image and I knew I had to check it out. So far it has succeded in holding up that curiosity.
Very hard and very fun. Loved the artwork. This is something that I will keep playing for quite sometime. Loved the game.
Looking at the title had me laughing. :) Fun game, very simple and I had fun.
i really enjoyed playing it, a bit of a storyline would be awesome addition, as @frizuo pointed out the respawn could use some drama aspect to it, some orchestral music along withit is indeed an epic choice
The problem with the repeating cards is something I am also facing in my game, setting non repeating options could be an option but that would make the game too big, and manipulating the randomness does feel like sort of a cheat.
Very enjoyable game, with balanced choices and also very nice choice of colors, the game is aesthetically stable and good looking :v:
started playing for the ui, kept playing for the gameplay :v:
it reminded me of the many web games I used to play about 10 years or so, a simple ui yet lots of fun.
your take on the theme is good too, its kind of sad that after getting attached to your party members for them to die :smile_cat:
from a programming perspective, this is exactly the kind of genre I like to play and learn from.
it was really nostalgic I think I will be playing it again
its mind blowing what you managed to make in this time frame, its veey very innovative along with good gameplay, I have never seen anything like it.
it is quite an intense experience having to choose who to leave behind and then go forward with those choices, it absolutely goes with the theme.
and i dont even need to mention how good the art it
Thank you for making this game.
the art and story made me laugh so hard ... :laughing:
the started of feeling easy but as I kept playing it became pretty hard. i really like the fact even within all these there are strategical choices that need to be made.
having more mechanisms or simply to state having control over the weapon I think is a necessary addition, but what we have here is quite nicely put together for the jam :eye:
I enjoyed playing it.
a genuinely fun experience, the art is good looking, but specially how the gameplay and the art goes together is fascinating, i hope you will add more to this game as the mechanism itself is very veey interesting. the music keeps the humour to be honest working in contrast to the gameplay. :laughing:
the art is really good and cute, and the gameplay is well done. some of the buttons were not working for me at the first try, although that doesn't takes away from the gameplay experience.
i have always had a soft spot for 3d games like these with fun mechanisms and I thoroughly enjoyed playing this.
the game looked simple on first view but as I kept playing it, I have to say its quite impressive.
from a mechanism perspective you have put a lot in considering the time frame of the game jam.
It starts off as something you play for the art but the story really hooks you, its a tremendously beautiful game. Its kind of dark storywise to think of it, I guess i just played it for too long. i can see this on steam as it is.
bullet hell, loved it. the controls are unbelievably smooth , i believe a lot of effort went into that.
I am still playing the game but ran over here to write just about the controls.
feeling challenged seeing everyone's high scores here.
whether its the theme, the gameplay or the mood, it hits the mark everywhere. Very well done.
the game is well thought out, and fun to play. some options to choose which camera angles to play from would be a nice addition.
another great thing about this game is the visual representation of competing against yourself, good idea, good game.
Its pretty awesome, considering it's your first ludum dare you have done a pretty great job :v: , I was fascinated by how well executed the effects are.
Considering the complexity, it would be a cool game for a speed run.
Haven't played something like this for a while, thanks for making it.
thanks for your review @defrag , I completely agree with you. I am thinking about ways to point out the exact changes in variables with choices making them for meaningful, and abstracting the hairloss concept as it's just arbritrary when in the context of thousands.
thanks @vorpalsnark for checking it out, it was the first thing I could think of after learning of the theme, a game jam participant's existential question ...
Thanks @andrground , under the right circumstances you can save a lot of money while having a good bit of followers getting a contract for your indiegame and thus starting your career as a tycoon, the game thus acts like a prologue.
That ending is however very rare, I only got it once.
thanks @lako for playing the game, I agree with you that your choices should show atleast an estimate on how much they will be impacting your stats. With the prompts being random, repetitions are just part of the game, but I plan to improve upon it by avoiding too frequent repeatations and ofcourse more choices.
thanks @guy-girmonsky , that was kind of my inspiration for this design, thanks for checking out the project.
thanks @deylinia for checking this out.
thanks @scrawny for checking this out, the way higher ups often frame their requests seemed like a fun thing to make fun of :laughing:
thanks @sawyer , thanks @pkzinpo I will be improving upon those points, thanks @cambryx all you need are some "pointers" and abstract data types :laughing:
thanks @clemall for checking this out, thanks @sunjet , I have added more content to it and will post in an updated version, this is the most I could write in 48 hours :)
thanks @wegpast , music can often make or break a game but I understand it's necessity, most of the situations were made up but some of those are realistic (and stressful). thanks for checking out the project.
the game manages to stay challenging despite the overwhelming stressful nature, even the theme is funny enough to keep me busy laughing.
Wonderful presentation, and oh the physics :laughing:
the controls are so hard but also challenging enough to keep me trying, good game. also the artstyle is cute!
the animation is lovely, brings back a lot of nostalgia for old webgames, the presence of multiple endings looks fascinating, although I haven't yet finished all of them, I'll keep playing for sometime. good game.
the game is a bit too relatable lmao :laughing:
the game has a simple mechanism but after some playtime it turns into a puzzle on how to keep it stable.
the physics is so simple yet amazingly fun. good game :v:
the game is simple yet well done, the pixel art is really cute.
Its funny witty and well done, the level design works out just right. An overall good game.
not only is it a good looking game but the controls are very smooth. I kept playing this for half an hour.
i think this does fall in the category of satisfying games.
A very polished and well made game, I think a cool storyline would be a wonderful addition to the game. :high_brightness:
Some highscore list will be cool to have to compare my gameplay to others.
I really liked the overall homebrew vibe of the game, I did not expect this to be 3d, a surprise but a pleasant one :laughing:
getting to run around and being shouted for it would be a cool addition. :smile:
