ian_snyder: I'm working on getting it working, but the code is a bit of a mess (understatement of the week) and I have no idea why it's not working.
arrogant.gamer: Thanks, sometimes the port and fortress get put in the same city and I didn't have time to fix it. Since it falls under "game breaking", I'll try and fix it tonight.
ZYXer: The actual game was thrown together in about three hours on Sunday, I'd originally planned more in the way of mechanics but ran out of time. I had some issues with the town arrow and decided that perfect was the enemy of good.
Lesson learned: Do not do a 48 hour game compo in 20 hours.
Thanks everyone for the comments. On reflection (and looking at it on another screen) maybe I shouldn't have jacked the brightness on my monitor all the way up to play Amnesia the day before Ludum Dare :P
@stuffedgravy: it's funny you should say that it's half a game... I had a lot more planned with AI agents also searching for it but ran out of time and spent far too long on the map gen. Things I wanted to add including being able to click building names and go to that building and more indicators on the map showing who had said what. It's a bit academic now though, the compo is over and I didn't manage to do these things. I would have continued onto the jam but frankly I needed today to recover and I'm back at work tomorrow. But thanks for the feedback
Really neat game, music was a bit repetitive but enjoyable. Would have been nice to have more enemy differentiation (which ones I can let through vs. which ones I really need to kill). At first I thought "9k to win? This is going to get boring" but now I've played it four or five times and I'm only stopping because I should really rate some more games. Thanks a lot :D
Enemies just head straight towards you. There is no reason to turn the torch off. Enemies die immediately, there's no risk. Even a little sound or feedback when you killed something would have improved it a lot.
Neat little god game. Some more instructions or some more information on the map would be nice but for 48 hours it's really good. Really liked how the climate changed, it's a really neat little idea that sets it apart nicely.
The last level was needlessly complicated, there were a lot of walls that looked at a glance like crumble walls but weren't and I dislike random platforming.
But.
It's a neat idea and I could really see it being used (with some tweaks) as either a vocabulary building game or a touch typing tutor. Good job! Main thing to ask for would be a UK/US english toggle. Damn zeds.
Great idea and a lot of fun. Although the fly ability being the only one to disappear is annoying.
Neat idea although why you didn't just map the notes to their respective keys is beyond me. Also I still died when the "happy" square hit me. Some more art would have been nice.
I really like it. The sound added a lot to the feel and the minimalist graphics helped a lot too. Very simple but a lot of fun. The AI seems a bit scatterbrained though.
My only complaint is that there is no feedback for having completed a signature. It's surprisingly distressing seeing the page go away whilst the signature disappears. Esp. if that's the one that loses you the game.
Gun fires way too slowly to be of any use. Some sound would have really helped. Way too hard not to hit the carts. Looks really nice though.
Movement didn't work. Finding bugs seems more random luck than anything. Sounds were annoying. The game wasn't very responsive and lagged everything else. Looked fairly nice though.
BEES! Bees are the best unconventional weapon.
Enemies were entirely too hard to see, I ran out of ammo and couldn't see how to not do this. There didn't seem to be an end-game I could see. Some sort of plot (even "Go save the space queen bee" or something), something for the player to do, would be nice. Also the window was far too small.
The inability to click on a hex not next to me was frustrating. Some more guidance would have been nice. Also potions seem to me to be a fairly conventional fantasy weapon.
Neat idea, didn't get the purpose of the deadpool at first but it's a nice addition. It seemed quite easy to get dealt an impossible hand, but that's the nature of the game I guess. Got quite a few index errors though, so had to refresh after each game. Neat idea, little more polish would do it well. Liked the sound, it really added to it. (Also don't press X, it doesn't seem to like it)
Music got a bit repetitive, blocks often glitched through walls and the controls for aiming were a bit clunky (mouse aim would have made it much easier). That said, a really neat idea and actually a lot of fun.
I threw a everything at the things and died. I repeated this a few times. I'm not sure you can win. Graphics were nice though.
Also, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF CORRECT TAXONOMICAL DESIGNATIONS MARK YOUR GAME AS WINDOWS. This is not a web game. Your web link links to an EXE download page.
Smoother movement would improve it quite a lot. There doesn't seem to be an end-game. Neat idea though. Some way of influencing the host would be nice too.
Game wouldn't run on Windows 8.1 :(
The ability to go backwards would be nice, and the AI was a bit simple (stuff lined up to die) but otherwise quite fun. Music was nice at first but quickly became repetitive. Didn't seem to be any downsides to just holding the fire key though.
Great game! The decoy mechanic makes it feel a lot less "get run down by an angry cloud" although it's unclear why this cloud hates trees.
Fun little game, although the sound is a bit patchy after a while on Chrome 41 on Windows.
The battle system was fun but some explanation of what each of the options meant would have been nice. Also, replacing the bars with numbers would have been useful, yes I'm doing five damage but how much is that? Combat also took far too long.
Neat idea, controls were a bit weightless. Website tried to download malware through compromised adverts though :(
Gameplay is so slow as to be incomprehensible. Didn't make it past the first "battle" and not for want of trying. Five minutes of throwing apples and oranges at lanes before I realised you could scroll. Some instructions would be nice.
Fun idea but it got repetitive fairly quickly. By month 15 it was clear I was going to lose but it was just a battle of attrition as to when.
Nice idea, buttons fell off the bottom edge of the screen a bit though. Was a bit disappointed when it came to the end when there weren't any consequences, just statistics.
Not a web game :(
Won on easy and medium, tried hard a few times and bugger is it hard :D. Really enjoyed the game, regardless.
Loved the goblin comments, controls felt a bit mushy, some more visual or audio feedback when I hit something would be nice. Any feedback when you'd been hit would have been nice.
Great idea and good work!
I am in fact a ketchup bottle, forced to attend networking events. Nice idea.
Very hard, but also very fun. Wasn't sure what the abilities do, some help text wouldn't go unnoticed. Also, would suggest having the game rotate instead of the character.
The link is to a google drive share, there's no web playable version and no obvious download.
Thanks to everyone who has played it so far. I'll try and fix the cursor lock issue ASAP (it should be getting cursor lock, and is for me). The downloadable options should have better performance and be cursor lock bug free.
F1 is a poor choice of keybindings on a browser.
The web link wants me to download something.
Some way of healing would have improved it.
The best strategy is to ram the other tanks, otherwise, their aim is a little too good. Fun though, lots of fun :)
Fun little game, although the inspections were annoying. Any indication of if you'd done the right thing would be nice.
Bakeries don't seem to work, but it was very fun. Just spam juicers.
