Controls are so floaty! I can change the direction of the jump mid-air, is that on purpose? Other than that I think it might be too small of a viewport so actually see where you go when jumping :D Keep it up ;)
Thanks, people! I couldn't fix the levels to fit more resolutions in time, sorry.
Also for some reason the Unity exported Mac-version doesn't really work - no idea why, but sorry about that!
Thanks for the Feedback so far!
Most testers have found my early stages to be too easy, so I tried making it more difficult .. hence the level select, so everybody can try every level^^
Also, disdanes, the separation of limbs is actually a bug, but I reeeeaaally liked it and thought it was fun, so it stayed xD
Such a cool game!! After I got it, I'll probably be playing this for hours :D
Didn't work for me =/ 64 Version turned up grey everytime, 32 Version didnt't even start, sorry =(
Nice! Cool take on an old concept :D
Unfinished, but quite nice. Enjoyed knocking over some of those trees :D Keep it up!
I think it's a little random if the penguins get the fish or not.. I usually just drop the fish off right in their way and it works :D But such a cool concept, keep it up!
Pretty nice one, hard though. Well, maybe I just suck at it :D I like the idea!
Nice one! Really like the concept. It would be great, if the platforms would actually disappear, giving the player more of a challenge. I like the minimalistic art, although the music was quite unnerving to me. Still awesome stuff!
I didn't really get it. Couldn't figure out how and why cells appeared and disappeared, still fun to mess around with, though. Really nice graphics!
Pretty nice looking. I like the art, but to me it's too hard. I can't even make it past the first level xD
Super cool game! Enjoyed the levels, like the concept. Art is not my kind of thing, but it looks good. I always get a couple of coins for just dying, is that on purpose?
Well, technically you get more than one snowball, but omg this game is great. Love it. So much fun.
My hand hurts so much right now .. :D
I love the idea! Keep it up, this good be one hell of an addicting game :D
I didn't really get it for some reason. Tried figuring out where the granny goes and why, but to me it was pretty random .. stillt enjoyed giving it a try! Nice story, too :)
I didn't realize how to advance in the game, I tried a lot of things, but unfortunately the menu kept getting stuck for some reason. I like the concept and the graphics (the linemen rule! :D) - also, is Army Mode and Manage Mode switched out in the menu? Button and Text down below seem to say different things.
Really liked this one. I like the stress infusing "OMG I DONT WANT TO DIE" feeling I get on this one.
Love the art style, animation and gameplay feels smooth. Couldn't interact with any of the items except the steering wheel and the map. Mop and engine didn't work for me =/ Still, great idea!
Since when is it allowed to use not self-created music in compo?
For the future: don't make the intro soooo long. It gets boring so fast. People can read fast, you know? ;)
Other than that, I couldn't really enjoy the game. Despite the really long intro, I didn't get what to do and the game just went black really often.
Nice game, lacks a bit content, but the controls felt good :)
Keep it up :)
Really liking this one! Music and art is gorgeous, gameplay is good. I suck at it though :D
How am I supposed to get back up in Level 2 when I fall down? :D
Pretty cool actually! Really like the concept and the art style. Levels were broken half the time and you die way too fast. Half the time I didn't even know why I died, still fun to play! Keep it up!
It's a nice start, I was hoping for more to come, still I managed to die xD
Super cool game!! Love the graphics and the concept. It's pretty awesome when these Bombs-Thingies bounce off the planet :D
Awesome! Really nice take on the theme :D It gets difficult so fast, still addicting!
So much fun, so addicting! Port this over to a mobile phone and I'm sold :)
A little broken at times (one guy was missing from the snow stage) but fun to play!
Such a GREAT concept! Keep it up, really enjoyed it :D
So much fun! Love the concept, pretty awesome, had a lot of fun, thanks!
Awesome xD It's soooo slow paced but that's half the fun sometimes xDD
Really a good one! Enjoyed it very much. I love the take on the theme and I greatly enjoyed trashing err.. I mean preserving my planet :)
Wow, took me quite a while to figure out what's going on xD after I got it, it was stressing but fun :D
Really intense experience. Didn't get some parts of it though.
That's some pretty fast badass tank! :D
Really cool!! Sadly though I suck at it :D Loved the art and music/sound. Oddly enough, I had 2 arrows for some reason xD
Super cool game! But even with headphones the sound didn't get any louder or farther away or something.. it always came from the left, which really threw me off. But such a good idea, keep it up!
There's so much going on onscreen and it's pretty confusing. Once I figured out the fuel, this Upgrade frame kept popping up and I couldn't figure out why.. Without sounds I also wasn't sure at first how to get Upgrades or what to do.
After getting to know the game it's pretty fun, still really unfinished though. Keep it up!
Pretty nice game! Loved the controls, escpecially because aiming is difficult :D
Nice. It took me a while to figure it out, but once I did, I enjoyed the present ;p Pretty shortlived though.
Didn't quite get it, the instructions were pretty short. But after playing for a while I *think* I got it now.. it's a fun concept! Keep it up :)
I like the overall feel of the art and sounds. The game as such is sooo hard for me to beat :D I think it's pretty slow (movement of the character and the weapons), but so far really good work :)
Text speed is a little slow, even on the fastest input.. takes quite a while to watch the intro, but I like the effect.
The game as such is soo beautiful and fun though! :D (also LOL at Oxfart :D)
Liked it! It's the only Adventure of this kind I've played this LD so far and it was good :)
I liked it, good job! Although it's a little difficult (maybe I just suck at it)
Wow, so fast, but really fun! Love the music.
Really liked it! Reminded me of Democracy 3 in a simpler way, giving the player only one chance instead of a lot. Cool stuff!
Really nice take on a "sidescroller" - not my piece of cake, but enjoyed it :)
I liked it but it took me a while to get it right. Still way too hard for me, I'm just not good at this kind of game :D
Oh, I liked this one :D "You are now rich" haha :D
Sooooo good! Really liked it. It's a bit of a waiting and gambling game. But the mood and atmosphere feels right. Nice one!
Really cool!! Love the art style and gameplay, theme is really nice worked into it. It's a bit slow paced, other than that, I like it :)
Really loved it although I didn't figure out how to mix the right cure..
Took me a while to get the hang of it. It's one of those games I really suck at, but it's fun and challenging! :D
Pretty nice! Hard to control though, maybe I just suck at it. Feels so random to me, still I can't stop playing :D
Aiming i pretty hard to do and it takes so long to move the aiming thingy.. other than that enjoyable fun and a nice concept!
For some reason, the Web Player is tiny on this one .. I don't know why but it's nearly unplayable as far as web goes. After I finally figured out what to do, I enjoyed it quite a bit though :)
Super cool, great job!
Super nice. The graphics and sound and everything. Gameplay is a little too hard for me because I suck at sidescrollers and just can't deal with them. That being said, I enjoyed the idea of using keys in a different way.
I suck at platforming so hard, so I couldn't make it to the end. Soundtrack is nice, graphics are amazing. Nice entry!
Is the .rar broken? I can't open it using 7zip :( edit: Windows Exec.
Pretty solid, easy to get into, nice job!
Super cool game mechanic!
Download seems broken for me?
Super cool! Is there a way to end the game besides Alt+F4? I couldn't find one.. Its super clean and everything fits well together. It's just a little easy, even without investing anything you can make it to retirement pretty easily. (wish my job was that well paid :D)
Super fun idea! Lovely execution, graphics and music gave a nice Undertale vibe.
I was just quickly trying to check some games out and this was really fun. Figuring out what exactly to do.. realizing I just didn't read the instructions properly. Goold old times. Didn't manage to beat the boss at the end though, I kept jumping into him or into the projectiles but I suck at those games. Nice pixelart!
Really cool, really well made! I'm always running out of food and thus my buildings keep shutting down.. I just noticed the comments however, so I'm going at it again with some new learnt wisdom :D I love the mechanics, it's pretty much what I wanted to do, but much more polished and management-heavy. Really nicely done!
Really fun and seems very well made but I couldn't get the hang of it. Everything happens so quickly, that (as a slow gamer) I couldn't follow it very well and even with the explanation provided, I was not a very successful thief :D
It's pretty fun. The console window is open while playing for me.. is that on purpose? Moving speed could be a little bit faster and on high res monitors (4/8K) the graphics would eventually not be recognizable anymore. Other than that, great! Especially for a first entry :D
It looks really good, I like the idea but I can't win even a simple fight. I've tried for a long time now and I seem to die instantly with one punch and my punches seem to do nothing :( I'm shit at games though..
Really fun! Got some Undertale vibes. Loved the intro artstyle, solid music and gameplay mechanics. I wished the scrolling text was a little faster.
After the second playthrough all the text kept layering on top of one another, so I couldn't really read anything anymore, but the same thing kept happening. Nice planets, the whole thing gave off a kind of goofy whacky cartoon vibe :D
@toxiccomputer the one with shooting the red giant. After that there was some more text but it went offscreen too quickly to read. Something about saving the universe?
I gave up on grinding the bandits, which is pretty early in but I kept losing for a while and didn't want to do that anymore. Other than that though, this was a pretty solid entry. Sound FX was great, although a little bit too loud and I absolutely LOVED the artstyle. Truly amazing. Sometimes the text was hard to read, maybe a fading background for the large text passages could help.
Really cool!! A simple but neat addition would be if the main character switched sides depending on where you go. Other than that, I had fun.
Pretty fun.. however I'm really shit at games apparently, I can't seem to get past even the first spear guy.. awesome graphic design!
This took really long to download despite its size .. but it's worth it! Super polished, amazingly fun and interesting.
Loved it! Graphics and sound design was cool and the gameplay reminded me of the best things about spore. Nicely fits the theme as well. When I pressed "Apex Lifeform" it just changed to "has teeth" and nothing else happened.. is this the end? Wouldn't mind playing a more fleshed out version of this :D
Really cool idea, lovely graphics, this would be amazing on Switch. Took me a while to figure out how the levels were meant to be played. I suck at games :D
Lovely artstyle! Fun gameplay, even though I kept circling with the last enemy until I eventually lost because I slowed down too much :D
Lovely! Rather than a game, this is almost an artistic experience. I'd love to play this as a mobile game if it was a bit more challenging. The visuals are stunning.
Really like everything but it's not really much of a game. Graphics look amazing though.
I just replayed Myst, so this remindet me a lot of a Myst with a more modern artstyle. Loved it!
Took me a while to figure it out but after I did, it was quite fun! Nice entry!
Very fun and interesting idea. Very experimental. I'd love to have this implemented in some kind of game. However, I was not able to locate a single sound, even after multiple tries. Sometimes I got different sounds but wherever I moved, it didn't seem to do anything (Firefox, newest version). I couldn't really find a pattern/connection between the sounds and the input.. but it might just be that my hearing sucks and I never noticed.
I'm on of those gamers that actually had difficulties because I like to take things slow. Other than that, lovely playthrough. Nice concept, great graphics, cool audio. Great!
Such a cool idea and really well polished for such a short time.
Really nice, played through it in one sitting :D In the end though, if you keep going, eventually your income will become negative :D Sadly no 16:9 but that's really the only thing I can "critize". Otherwise I really enjoyed the experience.
I can't download the game from Google Drive :( it's stuck at zipping the files. Maybe put up a zipped mirror? The Web Version sadly didn't really work for me, I kept getting stuck.
@c0d3d Thansk! The download finally worked. I also managed to work out that I need at least 6 fuel to go to the next planet without losing.. maybe add that somewhere. I kept thinking I was doing something wrong, also "next planet" sometimes took me to the first planet and sometimes just made me lose.. (maybe spawned in an obstacle?). Overall, I really like the idea a lot, but the collision detection is really off, sometimes I was in fuel canisters or enemies and the hit would not register. The sword feels a little bit sluggish, maybe make that a bit faster? Highscore didn't seem to work for me :( Other than that, solid work for 48 hours :)
@c0d3d Oh! Maybe I just didn't check correctly with the highscore :D
I'm too stupid for this game.. I can't even finish the basic levels.. seems promising though. Visuals are super nice.
Really cool take on the theme. It took me A WHILE to get it. After that, pretty much loved it!
I got lost, found a bored guard and the yawn-window wouldn't close - still kinda fun and interesting, especially the perspective.
Fun idea, movement was kinda jerky at times and I wish the interaction with the environment (eg the letter) was a little more distinct from just moving near things. Other than that, solid entry.
Really well done! I gave up because I'm a pretty slow gamer and it was just too fast for me to react in time. But that's on me, other than that it's pretty amazing!
OOF. Nice entry. Simple, yet addictive.
Is the itchio link broken? It 404s for me..
It worked! Sweet, but short :D I was very confused by the ladder, I thought I could climb by jumping or holding the up-arrow, I didn't realize you have to mash it :D I was also confused by the end screen, I kept waiting for level 2. Good work :D
The sound was reaaaally loud for me. Nice entry still!
Maybe provide a different link for the download. 400MB via mediafire took ages for me. Was a fun little playthrough, the main protagonist was a little glitchy. Somehow I figured everything out just by playing though.
@jwiggs Thanks! I intended to have many more events involving dinosaurs and eventually both humans and dinosaurs but time ran out, so I just made it reeeeaaally hard for the humans to survive (for now). The game has a huge amount of endings :D
@christophebessette Thanks! You could just restart and play from the start again. The slider part is a puzzle that may require Google or some scientific knowledge of the atmosphere, but yeah, maybe I should've explained that better or removed it alltogether.
Thanks for playing!
@ktao Thanks! I'm always worried my humor is weird or too German, so I'm always reaaaally glad when people tell me it's funny :D
@ivanpavlov Whoops! That is apparently a feature of the engine/tool/maker (Ren'Py) I didn't even notice. I think I would've deactivated that, if I had known about it because I really didn't do that myself and I wouldn't want it to affect any ratings. Maybe adjust your rating, if you gave one. Thanks for telling me about it, though! And thanks for playing!
@scott-armstrong Thanks! Yes, I grossly misjudged how much time it takes to add and refine events and play through them to see if they make sense and how they balance each other out. Starting out, I had 3 tiers of events, depending on how many humans (and/or dinosaurs) are alive but after a few hours of fleshing out just a couple of events, I scrapped it for now. If it ever turns into a real thing, I will most definitely polish and expand on the events a lot.
@hcursino Thanks! Yes, some events are way out of balance. I heavily misjudged just how difficult it is to balance stuff and get the math "just right". Due to time limitations I eventually scrapped "tiered" events, so from time to time a calculation goes horribly wrong. It's probably the text-adventure version of physics going haywire :D
@robowarrior1982 thanks for playing! Yes, I suck at making graphics. For a Jam entry or an iteration of this, I would definitely work with an actual artist on the graphics :D
@lombax Thanks for playing and the ideas! I can't really do graphics very well but what you're suggesting sounds great if I ever revisit the project. Also, you died because the humans were "too happy" .. I think I didn't really make this clear enough in the narration.. (also it doesn't really make sense, but I wanted to put a cap on things without doing too much math again)
@jimbly Mh, sorry! This is probably a math error that's my fault :D I never worked with this engine before, so its "flow" sometimes lead to .. "interesting" results. Thanks for playing and thanks for telling me, I'll investigate and see if I can find any issues :D
@hellper yes, definitely. I had to cut a lot of content due to time running out. Thanks for playing!
Such a cool idea! Minimalistic, but I like it. Sadly no sound but that's ok. I recommend you check out and rate some games, otherwise people will most likely not find your game and it's definitely worth a look!
Love the graphics and sound design, truly great! It took quite a while until I figured out what to do.. or even how to identify my character. It's kind of the point of the game but I'm one of those guys that will select Mario in Mario Kart and then look at the other screen to think I'm driving with Peach. Unfortunately I could only test it alone. The Menu seems to have no quit function, was that on purpose? Other than that.. nice! Some real Party Hard vibes going on.
