A nice idea and an absolutely outstanding execution! I can't believe you made such a polished, balanced, and fun to play game is two days. Did you actually sleep or eat during the compo? :)
The level design is awesome, with very good idea (I loved the chariot and spikes level - and the autoscrolling ones are nice too but very very hard). I bet this game will end up in the top game of the compo (and it 100% deserves it)!
Awesome game! It made think, so I followed you on Twitter! :)
I really enjoyed how deep it was while remaining entertaining - outstanding entry!
Very innovative idea, I love it! I read your post-mortem, and I'm quite amazed you finished such a game from scratch while not being "in the mood for LD". Congrats!
Very nice idea, and well Done. I enjoyed completing all the levels of your game! Congrats on composing an catchy tune alongside with your game!
Very beautiful game, I love the art style!
Regarding perfomance, It is quite slow with my old netbook computer (a first generation eee-pc), and the web version feels likes as slow as the desktop windows one (which works btw).
I've seen your journal entry about performance issues, and I think for the next jams, if you are still wishing to make a flash-based pixel art platformer, you should try Flixel, it'll run way faster for such a game. Because with the classical Flash IDE you are using the "display list" approach (movieclip & co.), which is a very slow method of rendering if you create one big movieclip for the whole level. Indeed, as your whole level is one big object, Flash as to redraw it entirely on everyframe, hence the lags. IMHO I think you should put your levels elements (objects, ennemies, etc.) directly on stage, and move all of them each frame. And if they are outside the screen, try to turn their "visibility" attribute to "false" so they are no longer rendered. That should help a little.
Anyway, congrats on your work for this entry!
One of the most humorous games I've played so far! Excellent idea, I love it. The game is easy to play but not that easy to win (damn ghosts!)
One minor complaint: when the game is over, you should open a popup with your website that way - I was so "in the game" that I continued clicking after loosing the game, and that open a popup without me understanding what was happening. Maybe you should put the link & logo besides the games instead, it'll get the same ad effect without disturbing players ;).
One of the most humorous games of the jam. The news are hilarious, and a good way to occupy your mind when your click like a mad! :)
Very creative entry, I like it!
Woaw, a very touching game. I love how the graphics, slow pacing, and music can create such an emotional mood to your game! Congrats!
Excellent Game! I love the art style and the music, catchy without being boring!. The game is very smooth to play and very fun, although some levels are kinda hard for me (damn knives!).
Great work!
Awesome Game ! Very fun to play, beautiful graphics, and very polished (although the game is quite difficult - but maybe that's just me! ;))
Congrats!
Excellent Game, a very good gameplay. I like how the rock "splits" the zombies! :)
I tried the Android version on my tablet, it runs wells, but there is a small annoying bug: each time I die, the game doesn't restart. I have to exit the game, kill it, and relaunch it to play again.
Very Original idea, I Love it!
This game asks for an extended post-compo version, it has so much potential! I really hope you'll extend it (more levels, random identity of the traitor, people lying but not being the traitor, people changing their version if you aim at them more than once, etc...), coz I'd really like to play more of it. Congrats!
Kind of a depressing game, but I liked the effort, (and "liked" your in-depth post-mortem as well). Better theme next LD?
Nice Little game! I love the music and the graphics, and the physics-based gameplay is nice. Good job!
Very Nice Game! I had fun shooting all those penguins :)
I personally find the arrow charging time a bit too long for distance shots, so my strategy was to wait for the penguins to be near the castle, and then click on the mouse like a crazy to make arrows rain down on them and kill them all.
Excellent game, simple to play, but rich possibilities. I'm amazed you achieved to build a (polished) sandbox game in 48h!
Congrats :)!
Very beautiful game. I love the art style a lot. The gameplay is simple but efficient, but what I like the most is the "mood" of your game (5/5 for me!)
Awesome ! one of the best idea I've seen so far.
The games are creative even with the constraint, I love it!
Chapeau l'artiste ! :)
Nice little game!
Excellent game, I love it! Great Idea and funny to play!
I also saw your post about first impression video - nice idea. I downloaded the Windows version of your game, and I think the archive is corrupted or something. I don't have any extracting error, but when I try to launch the game it says "AgentOne.exe isn't a valid Win32 application". I've downloaded your archive twice, same problem. I'm using Windows Xp Sp3. I hope this can be fixed because your game looks amazing (I'm a big fan of beat'em ups!)
And if you want to try my game, I'll be very happy: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-28/?action=preview&uid=29773
Nice little game, I love the graphics. Web version works fine in Firefox, but there is no sound.
Nice little game, I love the graphics and the music!
Regarding the game itself, the gameplay is cool, but I feel it lacks some kind of "rhythm": the enemies waves are spawned randomly each X seconds, which get a little bit repetitive over time. Maybe you should try to create enemies on a more varied time span, and also try to add some randomness on the octopus movement so it doesn't "just" move back and forth a the bottom of the screen. But nice entry anyway!
A quand la suite ? :)
Nice Little Game, I love the idea! Regarding the mini-games I really enjoyed the stealth one, and the first platform is very original, albeit a bit too difficult for me!
Bonne chance pour trouver un stage! :)
Woaw, I love this game. The gameplay is nice, the graphics too, and the "world-shifting" mechanics is impressing. But more than anything else, I find this game very touching... The ending screen and the music literraly tocuhed my heart.
Thanks for this unique experience!
I like the graphics and music, the idea is cool, but the game could be improved. Throwing out enemies is fun, but it's very hard to avoid them, so the game lasts usually a few seconds for me.
Anyway, congratulations for completing a nice and working game in 48h!
A very polished and fun game! I'm impressed you managed to pull this off in only 48H, it looks like (and plays like) a professional NES game! I didn't manage to complete it (yet), but I'll try again later... (but woaw, this game is hard!)
Thanks all for playing and for your comments!
@JoeProgram: At first, I had some little variations in mind, such as the fact that some customers would require a clean fork, so you'll have to wash it before sending it to them - sanitation matters after all as ZXeno said ;).
Your comments motivates me to try to extend the game after the compo, and maybe do a mobile version too (I actually tried it on a Flash-capable Android tablet, and you're right, the game is quite a good fit).
Thanks to all of you for your feedback!
@localminimum: The actual record for now is 1360 points, so 1270 is a pretty good score! :)
Regarding the new "stars" (lives) you'll get an extra life each time the difficulty level increase in the "latter stages" of the game (e.g. you'll get an extra life after 800 pts, another one after 1200 pts, 1600 pts and 2000 pts)
Nice little Game! I like the idea, it's quite original, and not that easy to complete the level. The humor and art style is fun too! Great job!
My only complaint would be with WASD: as a non-QWERTY keyboard user, it would be fine to be also able to use the arrow keys to move :)!
Nice game, I like the graphics! :)
Too much thinking for me, but original idea! :)
Nice idea, and great graphics! Love it!
An very disturbing and original game! 5/5 on "mood", this game is so saddening (I played with crippled and nearly blind)
A sweet little game. I love the idea and the graphics are awesome. Movement is a bit strange at start (and sometimes a bit "choppy", like when collecting rosebud), but I rapidly get used to it. I laughed at some options like the phone ones (and also to the fact that you can literally cut the phone off if you move away without hanging it - poor ol' Kane without a wireless phone!).
Bref, bravo pour ce premier jeu très sympathique ! :)
Sweet game! I also like the backstory behind it.
Regarding the game, I especially enjoyed the audio aspect (and the cuteness) - the music is catchy and the sfx are so sweeeeet! :)
May you beat your dad in the compo! (I'll try his game too)
Woaw, excellent game. Simple but effective idea, and plays like a charm. I really enjoyed this game, I think I spend about 15 minutes playing it (yeah, I'm not that skilled on dexterity game!).
You managed to create a kinda addictive game, each time I fail, I want to "try one last time, I promise", but I end up playing for longer than I thought at first !
Regarding performance, I use Firefox on a very old netbook computer (a first generation eee-pc), and It lags horribly in normal mode, but plays like a charm in fast mode. And I would totally like to play such a game on an Android tablet :).
Regarding improvements, maybe a soft background music would be nice, and maybe also some aesthetics modifications (such as a bit more animation on the circles or stuff like that), but you already nailed the hardest part: the difficult curve that keeps player entertained!
Sorry for the long comment, but I really really enjoyed your game!
I've tried it, and I got "Warning; Unresponsive script" warning, so unfortunately I couldn't play it (I didn't rated your game of course, just posting a comment to report this).
I'm using FireFox / Windows XP / Quite old computer (about 8 years old I guess - so maybe it's too slow for your game, although I didn't had any problem to play all the other HTML5 games I've tried here)
I followed your journals and was really looking to playing this game!
I've just tested it, and it lauches (I see the levels and the hello message), but then nothing happens! Is your server currently down?
I'm using Firefox and Flash 11.5.
Anyway congrats for coding a networked flash game looking that nice in 72h!
Nice little game! I like the idea a lot, both theme-wise and gameplay-wise :)
[SPOILER ALERT]
I think it may have been even funnier to let the player choose at the end whether you want to "slap" your husband or not - after all, maybe the mother-in-law did all of this on her own without him knowing anything?
[/SPOILER ALERT]
Very Nice Little Game!
I like the graphics and the mood. At first I was like "easy game, I just have to kill everybody", then I figured out that not everyone was a zombie... Hard game (those zombies are daaaaamn fast), but very fun! Congrats on putting this in 15 hours only!
BTW, what kind of Flash framework did you use? Flixel?
Awesome Game! I spend about 15 minutes here, and still unable to beat all the bosses, but, woaw, that's a fun and polished game. My only complaint would be that we have to walk back to each temple after dying (I know, the game is hardcore, but since we die very often, It's more annoying than fun to walk back to the bosses over and over).
One of the best games i've played so far!
Excellent funny little game. I Liked the idea and had fun completing the levels. However, I had to read the comments to understand that you have in fact to press the mousse button continuously to play (according to the instructions, I thought that the ball would flow towards the mouse).
And the second levels is a nightmare compared to the others!
Anyway, I had lot of fun playing this
Nice Game! I like how you used the theme, I love the graphics, music, and your crazy humor! :)
Like many others, I'd like to be able to skip dialogs, especially the tutorial ones, because each time you die it's sooo long to be able to play again... But very good game overall!
Woaw, that is a very unique game! It had a hard time understanding how to play at first (especially the asking minigame), but I understood it, I was hooked. Your gameplay ideas is very great! I like the music, and the backstory.
If you want to do a post-compo version, maybe a tutorial would help people understand how the minigames works (It took me a long time to figure out where to click in the asking minigame in order to only have one circle left). I'm amazed that you created so much content in such a short time. Congrats!
You made me laugh, and I thank you for that! :)
Very funny idea, it made me wonder for a few minutes 5/5 humour entry ;)
Excellent game, I love it! It's very fun to play (5/5), the magnifying glass is working flawlessly and it is brilliant idea. Wonderful! :)
I love that zombie movie/show! :)
Awesome idea, and excellent work on the execution - I love the graphics (your drawing feels like Dan Paladin from the Behemoth studio). Outstanding sounds effect too, and very humorous content. While I won't play this for hours, I had a big smile on face for several minutes playing it ;)
Nice concept, simple to play but very hard to master! Maybe you should add a jump button to make the game less challenging? ;)
Sorry about the jump button, next time I'll read the manual :p
It's indeed way easier when you can jump :)
The web version game seems down, or is it just me? (blank page here and on the "web" link)
Nice Little game - that red cat is a though opponent!
Woaw, this is an incredible entry! Arguably the best I've played so far (except on the theme interpretation). That music is PERFECT, totally fits the game, the graphics are amazing, the gameplay is challenging but rewarding, the pace of the game is excellent due to well thought level design... I can't imagine how this game doesn't end in the top 3 of the Compo results!
Nitpicking suggestion: add somewhere on the screen the number of the current level, so we can now how far from the game ending we are <= helpful fulfill an accomplishement feeling even more.
Somehow, Playing this game brings back fond SNES memories... :)
Also, one "technical question" about the music: what tool did you use to convert the .mid created by cgMusic to get such a good rendering?
Excellent idea and nice game, I love it (no pun intended)! :)
I like the general mood of the game, with minimal gfx and sounds but very powerful and emotional as we struggle to survive through the night. I like how you have to discover how the whole game systems works. A very solid entry!
The game keeps crashing at startup for me (I'm on Win XP, using an old Asus EEE Pc netbook, so no real graphics cards)
Funny Game! I like the concept, the graphics, and the gameplay is fun. Kudos for the multiplayer aspect, it really makes it better. Oh, and these mountain goat are cute :)
Excellent entry! I love the art style (outstanding graphics 5/5) and the general feel of the game - a board game on steroids :). The gameplay is nice too, you force the player to choose between risky bet and less risky dice throws. I especially like how you can see where you'll end up with each dice, and it's nice that you remove this visual help for the last steps. Excellent game, you should definitively create a post-compo version with sound and release it on Android / iOS :)
Nice game concept, I had lot of fun playing it! :)
I love how the cool music contrasts with the frantic button-mashing gameplay!
BTW, on one of my attempts, the game stopped sending viruses infection after about 2 minutes of play (did i typed too fast for the game? ;))
Interesting game. Nice graphics, and mastering the unusual control scheme represents the core challenge. Fun to play, it'll be nice to have more level / propos in a post-compo version!
What a cute little game! I love the graphics :)! Short to complete, but Kudos on creating this in 48h only!
Very entertaining game - simple to understand, but very funny to play with all these physics colored shape! I love it. The music is excellent too, what did you use to compose it?
Nice adventure game, albeit a bit difficult. The mood is awesome, thanks to the beautiful graphics (love these old Macintosh game feel) and the music is very powerful! (I didn't know about Abundant Music before this jam, but it's clearly good to create musics! :))
Nice little game, I love the cute graphics! Good job on creating a level with so many traps on a single screen! ;)
Very interesting and innovative concept, I like it! Kudos for creating such a simple yet addictive game :)
Excellent entry! I like how you used the theme, the game is simple but very addictive and challenging. It feels very polished too, impressive that you created all that in 10h only! I like the graphics too, and the level you designed are many and the difficulty curve is good - nothing negative to say about this game! :)
Nice little game! I like how you can use the mouse gestures to cast and reel. Are the fish randomly selected? Because by throwing at (roughly) the same place, I managed to caught very different fishes. Any, good work for creating a complete game in such a short time!
Funny game! I love the art style and the music, and the gameplay is entertaining (screenshakes, yeah! :)). One minor complaint: could the first player be able to use different keys than WASD (hard to play on a non-QWERTY keyboard :p)
Nice top down shooter. Quite polished, so nothing to complaint, I had fun playing it and I enjoyed the music and overall gameplay. Congrats!
BTW, can snowmen actually bleed? :)
One of the best game of the compo. Awesome concept/innovation, very fun to play and replay, nice graphics and music. Outstanding that you created this in 48h only! :)
Many thanks to all of your for your comment and feedback!
One tip regarding the game: when you are "frozen", you are still able to shoot down enemies, it only prevent you from moving the character. So @AgentParsec, the real challenge actually begins when you are stunned: you'll have to click faster than before to defend your screen background ;)
(I'll update the description with this tip)
Thanks to all for your comments and feedback!
@mrexcessive: In fact, a good strategy to make a high score isn't to shoot them all, you should try to maintain some kind of balance between the number/power of scrollers on each edge when you shoot them down, so your screen doesn't get "eaten" right away :)
Woaw, this game is just so outstanding (as usual with you)!
I really like this "one-screen" version of the first GTA (you even included the "gouranga" mission, nice!). I can't believed you managed to create such a depth, fun, beautiful and feature complete game is 48h only...
This game has everything it needs to rank in the top 3, without any doubt ;)!
Bravo!
What a lovely game! I love the graphics, the intro music, and the general gameplay idea! My only complaint lies in the snowflakes generation: the game tends to create two snowflakes of the same color at the same moment, but to generate them on opposite side of the screen - there impossible to catch, and it's kinda frustating to lose because of that. Otherwise great entry! :)
The game is so challenging, I love it! The art style and the concept is excellent too, kudos for this great entry!
Really hard game! But I love the humor and the tutorial, and the concept is interesting! Congrats! :)
A bit confusing at start, but interesting concept. Thanks for the description, it helps to understand how the game play. My snowmen army will rule the world! :)
Excellent idea, i like it! The animation set for an excellent mood :) A great concept that definitively need to be extended in a longer game!
Beautiful Entry! I love the GB style graphics. The is nice and fun to play, altough it's a bit far regarding the them (but kudos for the GB screen anyway). Good job!
Interesting concept - art to grasp at first, but I can see how this would evolve in a full fledged life-simulation - looking forward the post-compo version of the game
Very nice little game. I like how this infinite army of Snowmen get crushed by Magma turret! :)
Congrats!
Nice Entry, I love the art style and the dynamic lighting effects! The gameplay feels nice too. The music is quite entertaining, what did you use to create it?
Nice entry! A simple yet feature complete adventure game, with a very cute Christmas theme, and an interesting quest! Congrats!
Nice little game. The music is very catchy and has an "industrial / technological" vibe, I like it. The game is funny to play quite gore (I like how you can eat people's head separately, and can Snowman actually bleed?), although it gets a bit repetitive after a while. Maybe you should add some kind of victory condition? (or a timer ?)
Very original idea, I like it! :)
It's a bit hard to play, especially when following the dog instructions, but congrats on creating such an original game!
Very nice take on the wack-a-mole games! You added a lot of depth to the game, it nows feels more strategic (can I use the hammer? Where do I use it?). Also, 5/5 for the humorous goblin quotes, they made laugh! :)
My only complaint is that the goblins shoot too fast, it's hard to avoid getting hit (especially as the capture spell has to travel to them), so the game is quite hard. You should add 1/2 second delay before the goblins shoot to fix that IMHO.
Challenging game, I like it! Kudos for the graphics of the snowmen and main characters, they are really cute!
I seem to have a technical problem: the doesn't seem to load (I have an empty blue page - I use Firefox 22 on XP)
Very nice game. I like the gfx and sounds, and the gameplay is entertaining and the jump combo mechanic is original. The challenge is adequate, but it's frustrating to get back to "0" whenever you hit the spikes :p
Good job!
Excellent idea! Bien joué! :)
Nice idea, and very good for a first game!
Lol, nice idea! Best cat throwing simulator of the compo! I love the GFX too, and it's nice how you are making fun of us players :D
Nice game, challenging with so many people to rescue at the same time, and funny to play! :)
I think the game you're looking for is the "Fire" Game & Watch by Nintendo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZvYzDMUUAo
Nice game, it reminds me of a similar level in Yoshi's Island on SNES :). The game is fun to play and challenging, and seems quite complete for a 48h game. I especially love the music, what did you use to compose it?
Very nice game, easy and fun to play. I like it when several robots at firing at you at the same time!
Congratulations! :)
Nice little game! And congrats on creating in on an Ipad! I like the "old computer" feel of the game, and it's simple to play, but tends to get repetitive after a while (maybe go beyond two balls at the same time?). AN di took me time to figure out that you had to use Space and not mouse click on a PC to toss the bag :).
Woaw, that's a fast-paced game! Fun to play, but a bit too hard for me.
Anyway, congrats if it's your first game, it's a really nice entry! (love the screen shakes! ;)). Keep up the great work, and see you next LD!
Excellent entry, very original idea, one of the best I've played this LD! I like you can break the screen when you're too stressed to click :p
BTW, a ZQSD or arrows keys alternative to WASD would be nice for non-QWERTY keyboards owners ;)
Congrats on creating such a large game (large cave, lots of items) in such a limited time frame. Not easy to get into, but a very nice entry! One suggestion though: you should display the "key" somewhere on a empty space on the screen, it'll make it easier for first time players to use the game properly (I had get out and on of fullscreen many times just to check the keyboard shortcut to use.)
Outstanding game! I love how you used the theme to create a real meatroidvania on a single screen. The game is challenging, has a very good depth for a 48h made game, feels very polished, fun to play, and very funny audio. 5/5 everywhere :)!
Very nice little game. I enjoyed it for a few minutes, avoiding the block is kinda hard :)! My high score is 17 :p
I really like the art style, did you use some kind of filter to make the gfx looks "blurry" yet precise at the same time?
Nice idea, and original take on the theme with a tribute to a wonderful man. The game could be extended a bit with a full implementation of the "ping-pong" game though, maybe for a post-compo release?
Very nice little game. I like the idea of going on each screen side with flipped gravity. Kudos on the title screen graphics, it's beautiful. I also like the music a lot, what tool did you use to compose it?
Beautiful art game - reminds me of Jason Rohrer early games. I love the GFX and music, it sets a very "sad but beautiful" mood. Works fine on my Android 4.1 Tablet btw :).
Very original idea, I love it! I also like a lot your pixel art, very effective to set "fantasy mood". The game itself is nice to play, although it gets a bit repetitive to click on the monster to get potion at the beginning, but I like the concept a lot!
NB: Thanks for the updated description, it helped me decipher how the game is played :)
Very nice game, too bad you couldn't finish it! I love the graphics and dungeon generation, the text description are funny and set an "adventure" mood for the overall game. Oh, and that catchy tune is awesome! Kudos! :)
A cool take on Mario Bros (pun intended), with very cute Penguins, congrats! :)
Outstanding entry! Very pleasant to play, clever puzzle idea, and very entertaining game overall. Graphics are very nice too. I spend 4:49 to cool down all the cats, thanks and congrats for creating such a great and polished game is such a short time frame.
Interesting entry. I love the graphics and audio works, and the storyline is both funny and interesting at the same. I'm amazed that you were able to put so much content is such a short time frame! This game has the most developed storytelling attribute I've tested so far in this compo :)!
I completed the game, though I'm not 100% sure of how it played: pressing X simply allows you to go through the "terrain" tiles to go get the crown? Or was there some additional mechanic that I missed?
Nice entry, doing a turn-based game isn't an easy choice is 48h. I like the 2.5D look with a "ZX Spectrum" feeling, and the gameplay is interesting (grabbing enemies to to throw them onto others foe).
Two complaints:
- When there is no more action point, the player turn should end automatically, to avoid a useless "end" button clicking
-I encountered a bug in level 2: I was given the choice to "grab" while all the enemies where more than one black way from me, and I was stuck there.
Congrats on creating all this in 48h!
Excellent game! The art and music are gorgeous, and the game is very fun to play. It's quite challenging, but I like that - it reminds me of Megaman :)
Nice idea!
It seems there is a problem with your Windows build archive - I've downloaded it and when launching the game I have the "this program is not a valid Win32 application" error message (I'm using WinXP)
Cool entry! I like your take on the theme (very humourous), and the graphics style is great! Fun game, you should expand it post-compo :)
Woaw, very interesting entry, and excellent take on the theme!
I like the "turn-based" puzzle approach, and the game delivers a very great mood. I played many levels but I eventually got stuck in a level, and got bored after 12 unsuccessful tries - it's the level with a lot of rocks, a lever, and two "planks" that can be picked up (but I still haven't figured out their use).
Anyway, a great entry for 48h! And it's nice to see I wasn't the only one to take "Geneva convention" approach on the theme ;)!
Excellent idea, I love your take on the theme! The game has an incredibly relaxing mood, with beautiful art and good music.
My only complaint would be the lack of feedback. I "beat" two poets, but during the game it's sometimes hard to see if you did an interesting poem or not (the crowd is cheerful sometimes, but maybe they should "boo" at bad poems too?)
Any very innovative and creative entry, congratulations!
I love this retro-pixel game: very fun and entertaining! It's a shame that there is no sound, because it's the only elements missing from an otherwise very polished game! The levels is quite long to kill all the 100 pinatas, especially the last screen! It reminds me of NES-era game, a great entry!
stupidly funny idea, and very nice and polished execution. It kept me busy for more than 15 minutes :)
I love the music too, very entertaining.
Nice entry! I like the core idea: it's original and well executed! :) The music is entertaining too, congrats!
Woaw, quite a shocking game (in the positive meaning of "shock")! Very effective and well though "social impact game", congratulation.
Outstanding take on the theme too (I've read your intention note, very interesting).
Woaw, you just won the "most original platform/tool" for this LD I guess! :)
Congratulations on thinking about and doing this, it's very original and innovative. The game itself is quite classical, but I like the graphics and the humor, a although it may have been interesting to have more "meaningful" choices for each screen (here, only one is valid in the end).
Anyway, congrats! :)
Nice entry, I love the general feeling - it reminds me of school :)
The graphics are superb, but the gameplay can easily be fooled: I kept firing at random height, and I sometime were able to kill enemies before they even show up on the screen ;)
Funny idea, it's fun to play and made me laugh (I like how your wife is still sleeping although she's on fire when you lose ;)). Too bad the game is so short, you should do a post compo version with more levels! And I definitively like your art style.
Bravo ! :)
Woaw, very impressive entry. I'm amazed to see such a polished game created in such a short time - it looks like a commercial GBA game! :)
My only complaint would be in the way-too-furstating level design and overall difficulty: it's nice that the game offers a nice challenge, but some trap feel a bit unfair (like that pig that must crushes blocks, then that you also have to avoid to climb up to to the roof everytime of fall, and if he hit you, you'll restart the whole thing. Same goes when you have to throw a lot of crayon to jump over the pikes), but it's still amazing that you designed so many different obstacles in such a short time frame. Did you even catch some sleep during the 72h event? :)
An actual NES game developed in 48h? outstanding! And the game is quite nice too, you totally deserve a 5/5 overall for this!
My only complaint would be the lack of "life bar" displayed on screen, and the lack of a way to regain life, because the game is quite challenging. But the graphics are very nice, so is the gameplay I like how you can throw the boomerang on the left side of the screen to have it reappear on the right side and flow all over the screen).
I hope you'll create a "post-compo" version of this game!
I'm curious - what kind of tools/library did you use to create the game? Please write a post-mortem, it'll be very interesting to read!
Nice Entry! I like the music and the graphics, and congrats for creating a stealth game is such a short time! :)
Outstanding game! Fun to play, original idea, excellent graphics and audio - nothing to say against this game, it's close to perfection! It reminds me of good old SNES games :)
I can't seem to be able to load the game - I see the loading bar, then "blank screen". (I use FF on WinXP)
Excellent game (as usual). I like the heavy retro feel (it feels like a GameGear game), and the overall gameplay - it's fun to play, easy to understand but hard to master (some bullet firing enemies are tough), and the "love" idea is great. The sounds is excellent too!
Chapeau :)!
Thanks to all of you for your reply and kind words!
@ProjectX: There are two more "guns" after the SMG - a "cannon" that fire big bullets, and a plasma gun :).
Oh my God... I'm astounded that you created such a polished, interesting and fun game is such a short time. Your art and music skills are more and more impressive, so are your game design skills, and now even your storytelling abilities.
I hope you'll turn this in a full-featured (maybe commercial) game - I really want to know what all those cops where doing here! :)
Nice entry, I like the humour and general mood of it! The gameplay is simple but very effective (i needed 4 runs to win the game), and your pixel art style is brilliant!
Congrats on this entry, I would love to see a post-compo with random targets, more weapons, and more rooms to explore! :)
Nice idea, well executed, I like it! :)
My only complaint would be that once we loose a level, we have to restart in the basement - way too frustrating for a game with many level like yours :)
I like the graphics style too, and the humor throughout the game!
Good mood and nice entry, and quite a challenging game.
For a post-compo update, you should try to make more "non-QWERTY" keyboard friendly :)
Woaw, outstanding entry! I love the art style, and your overall idea / approach to the theme. The different endings made me laugh! This game is a great love letter to Japanese rpg games! :)
Excellent work!
Nice little game!
I really like the graphics (the enemies animation is awesome, so is the gameover screen), and the music (simple but catchy chiptune.
I'll have two complaints though:
- The player projectiles aren't fast enough compared to the enemies. Instead of slowing down the enemies, I think you should make the "projectiles" fly faster.
- As an AZERTY user, the Q-W-E combination is a bit odd for such a fast-paced game ;).
Congrats for your entry!
Nice entry, very creative weapon idea! I like the overall art style, the music, and the way the yoyo moves around the screen!
Too bad you couldn't add more stuffs during the compo, because your post-compo version is indeed more polished (screen shakes, yeah!) - although I think that the red bud too strong an enemy for a first encounter IHMO (the flies of the compo version were fine).
Anyway, congrats!
Nice Entry, I really enjoyed the song (I see that you are a dubstep producer, and it shows!). The game idea is nice (spear throwing), but the game suffers from several bugs (I finished the cave level with -50% of energy, I launched the spear through a zombie and it did'nt kill it, but then he walked on a spear on the floor and died instantly), although it didn't prevent me from actually having a lot of fun completing it - so congrats for your game.
P.S.: Next time, please think of non-QWERTY keyboard users: http://ludumdare.com/compo/2015/04/24/why-z-is-a-bad-action-key/
Very nice entry, I love it!
I love the graphics (outstanding style) and music, it set a very "weird but pleasant" mood to the game. The gameplay is nice too, I enjoyed jumping around and thrusting my flamingo here and there!
My only complaint would be the lack of a clear "end game" screen state - While it's nice to watch the animations in the background to know who is winning, I think that if the game paused after each round to clearly announce the winner, it would enhance the game greatly IMHO :)
Excellent entry, I love it! Fun and challenging platform game, nice graphics and catchy tune! It's impressive that you built all this (with a huge level) in 48h! Congrats! :)
Nice game, I played several "runs" and I enjoyed it! :)
Your pixel art skills are impressive, this game is so beautiful and well animated - did you catch some sleep during the compo? :)
Regarding the game, it's well designed, and I see the "play it several times to get xp mecanic", but I think you should be a bit more generous when giving XP to player - 1 skill point per level is very few, and it's quite long to get a new level (it took me 5 fives run to get to level 2 in XP)
Also, you should add the controls in the description, it took me some time to figure out that "Z" is used to shoot :)
(at first, I thought that it was an endless runner game, so avoid enemies only)
Great idea and fun game! The music and graphics set a very relaxing mood, and I like the mouse-launching mechanic - it reminds me of those old "pocket flipper" games that we had as kids :)
Congrats, you made a very original entry!
Nice and fun action-packed game!
The cow-launcher is incredibly funnny, and an efficient way to fight pollution! :)
Congratulations!
Nice entry, I reminds me of Lander, but it's way more fun to play! :)
Outstanding idea, and great work on the audio - some of these songs are actually cool - when are you going to release an OST for your game? :)
Regarding the game itself, it's a bit hard to understand the logic behind votes and it's a bit too long as the years go by (maybe doing a "mini-eurovision with less countries each would make the game faster to play), and, as many others, I ended up losing several contest in a row (4 years) with my country (France) - 100% realistic ;).
You should expand the game (refine UI) in a post-compo version, because your concept very neat!
Interesting entry! I like the "game & watch" art and movement style a lot :)
The core gameplay is interesting, and the levels you designed offer a smoothly increasing difficulty curse. I also like the humor in the game (Splash!)
My only complaint is about the fact that we cannot restart at the last level when we die - It's very hard and frustrating to have to redo all the game from the beginning, especially when we discover a new "enemy" or a difficult level - I hope you'll do a "post-compo" version with unlimited continues, so your game can also be enjoyed by non-hardcore gamers! :)
Woaw, the game offers such a great mood - I love the music and the graphics!
The game itself is fun to play, I like the core idea, especially how you didn't limit yourself to "word typing" but also included the ship movement and space to fire. Kudos for releasing such a polished game in such a short timeframe!
Excellent idea, I love the bouncing belly weapon concept! :)
The game is quite beautiful too (I like the cartoony style), and very very fun to play (but challenging)
One suggestion: maybe it would make the game easier to play if when pressing "down" the bear would stop bouncing immediately - I was hit a lot of time because I wasn't jumping high enough, and pressing "down", waiting for the bear to reach the ground, then "up" again was too much to do before getting hit by the enemies (or maybe you should slow down the enemies a bit?)
Anyway, great work, I enjoyed your entry a lot! :)
Excellent game - I didn't know you could make such intense game with Twine!
I like the art, the idea, and the final result - a perfect LD entry!
Cool game, with a very powerful and relaxing mood, I love it! The idea is interesting and fun to play, and this music... it's just excellent! Overall, a good "trance-inducing" game :)
Nice entry! Clever use of the theme, and fun game overall - I love those ballons in the gym class, just throwing them all over the place is a quick and cool way to win the level! :)
Nice little entry - it made me laugh several time :)! A good effort for only 3 hours of work, you should make a post-compo version with even more strange choices :)
Nice retro-feeling entry. I love the music and graphics. The gameplay is a bit weird at first, but then it gets interesting to explore this giant star-filled maze! :)
Very original and innovative gameplay idea, I like it! The game is quite challenging though, maybe you should allow the player to change orbit direction instead of only changing the rotation speed? (it's frustrating to see a missile coming and to miss it because the hero is 1/100 second to slow or too fast)
Nice idea and interesting game. And kudos for creating an educational game in 48h! :)
The game is cool to play, but it would be better maybe if the PC would fight back, for example each time we make a mistake! :)
Challenging but fun game I love it!
The graphics are beautiful, and the idea is interesting - another solid entry!
Woaw, outstanding entry! The game is very original and entertaining - I spent about 1 hour playing it, but I still haven't found the "congratulations" ending (and I'm actually out of ideas on how to reach it - I hope you'll make a walkthrough :)).
I like how you can learn about the backstory on a "bad" ending (in a way, your story reminds me a lot of the movie "The One" starring Jet li :)), and the dual texting idea is brilliant!
My only complaint: the fingers holding the phone sometimes make the text hard to read (well, i no longer worried about it on my 10th play, but on my first couple tries it did bug me).
Congratulations on this game, I hope you'll reach a high rank on innovation because you clearly deserve it!
Outstanding entry, as usual! I still wonder how you can create such polished, fun, and content-rich in 48h only! :)
The game is very interesting to play, as each level requires a different strategy to be beaten. The difficulty curve is well balanced for me, it's challenging but beatable! :)
Congrats!
Outstanding, as usual. I'm always amazed by your entries, and this one doesn't disappoint! I really love how the (giant) robots feel "alive" in the game!
Great entry, I love it! The graphics are wonderful, the gameplay is simple yet challenging enough to keep me entertained, and this game is so relaxing, I love it. The music is very powerful, great job!
Excellent, I'm impressed you actually managed to create a gameboy game in 48h. Kudos!
Besides the incredible technical achievement, the game is nice to play too. The core idea is simple but fun, and the difficulty ramps up nicely! I will definitively try this game on my GBC using an everdrive cart!
By-the-way, what tool/framework did you use for GameBoy developement? Everything is coded in assembly? Or is it possible to use some C-based framework?
I'd love to see an expanded version of the game, and its post-mortem!
Congratulations!
Nice game, I love the graphics, audio, and general idea!
However, I find it very hard and frustrating to play due to its control: you're almost guaranted to hit one or several bullies. They move way too fast on their platform to allow to make some kind of "planning" for the best time to jump, and as you continuesly move, it tends to get annoying to get hit so often. Maybe reducing the walking speed of the bullies would make it easier for newbie players like me :)
Anyway, a good entry overall!
Nice entry, a little game fun to play. The concept is simple, but the pacing is good, and the game rapidly become challenging. Would be a great mobile game with a graphics update :).
Also, as some other people on this people, I was quite disturbed by the flashing colors. I understand they are here to add to the challenge, but to me they are more disturbing than challenging. Maybe you should try by making colors changing less often (maybe every 30 seconds instead of every 5 seconds) so tired eyes can get accustomed to the color before they change? :)
Excellent gameplay idea, I love it! It's simple but entertaining, and quite challenging without being frustrating. Very good job, congrats! My best score is 41 seconds :p
Simple and fun idea, well done for only 6 hours of work! The game tends to be repetitive and very difficult after 20 though (i managed to reach 30, but i quit when I figured out there was no end in the game). You should maybe make a 2-3 minutes time limit on the game, to motivates player to play again to improve their score, instead of letting the game go on and on forever.
Wonderful game! Simple yet very addictive and fun idea, great execution (the jam version is quite nice, even if the post-jam one obviously looks better ;)).
A perfect entry!
I love the concept, very fun to play, yet simple to understand. You should definitively develop this into a full fledged game with more levels! I love the humor with the secret box and the "bugged door" too! Congrats!
Nice game, I love it! The Panda is so cute! :) The graphics are really good, and the gameplay is nice too! Only things that bothered me was that you have to click on the panda to launch it (at first, I thought the game was not working, because I was clicking blindly in the game area), and that the flipper controls also controls the menu. The first time I completed the first level, I accidentally came back to the menu instead on "continue" to the boss level.
Other than that, great take on the flipper genre, and fun to play!
Outstanding! I'm still impressed by how much content you put in this game in so few time. Did you invent a way to slow down time? :)
The game is excellent, a good metroid tribute, great mood, excellent level design, beautiful music and GBC graphics... I still have to complete the game (according to your map, I miss two rooms only, but darn, these "metroids mobs" at the end are though!). I like how the game change from one zone to another, gameplay wise (the first two are platform shooter oriented, while the third one is more puzzle/speed oriented, and the last one seems to be more about avoiding enemies with the shield than killing them).
If this game doesn't end in the Jam podium, then I don't understand LudumDare :).
I'll have a series of minor complaints/remarks if you plan to do a post-compo version of the game (and you should, as it's really awesome!) :
-When entering a new room, would it be possible to make the hero move according to the direction already pressed? I played the browser version, but I have to release/press again an arrow key to keep walking when changing room (it seems nothing, but it's kinda annoying when you spend about 1 hour exploring the game world)
-When we load a saved game, the current health and ammo isn't fully restored (very annoying at the end game: I save with 999 ammo and 140 health, but I restart with only 250 ammo and 100 health. That's what actually had me quit the game before completing it - I'll need about 999 ammo to finish it, but I don't have the patience to farm it again)
-For those who faced the "first gun no longer shoot bug", just press enter to display the map and press enter again to continue playing: the gun is now firing again, even with 0 ammo (so you can open doors ;))
-The way to reach the missile launcher is a bit unfair: one fall = too many rooms to walk again, IMHO.
-I find the jump movement a bit short when not underwater (underwater it's very smooth) - would it be possible to jump a bit higher? That would make some tricky jump less tricky at some places.
-That being said, again, the game is very excellent. The level design is very interesting and well done, it doesn't feel like a 72h game but rather a month-long level design and development.
Congrats!

Congrats!
Interesting and challenging game! I like how the game is so tiny (didn't zoom in to play) and the whole island rising up effect. The level design is excellent. Although I think the game would be better to play with a separate jump button, I really enjoyed it once I got used up to the control. I couldn't get past the two monsters side-by-side near the end, but I'll try again tomorrow :)

I managed to get to the end, but the two monsters side-by-side near the end were a real challenge! (took me 15 minutes to get past them!)
A simple yet addicting gameplay idea, good job! The graphics are nice and I love the music too. To polish the game, you should maybe try to reduce the "slippery" of the hero on the floor, and, please add the possibility to restart the game by hitting a key instead of clicking twice: as we get to restart the game pretty quickly, I want to be able to restart it without leaving the keyboard to reach the mouse :)
Nive entry, I love it! The music is just awesome, and totally set the mood! The game itself is quite original. The control system is a bit odd a first, but I quickly get used to it and got hooked up to complete the levels! ANTastic entry :)
My only complaint would be at the tiny size of the ant. I know you'll grow it in later level, but during the first level, I didn't figured out that something moved. You should put a red blinking arrow following the ant during the first level, so everyone can understand that we are controlling a moving ant before reaching level 2 :)
Very Nice entry! I love the art style, and the stomping action strangely makes me feels very powerful! :)
Good job!
Btw, you to have opted out audio, but the sound work and music you is very good! :)
Woaw, strange but entertaining entry, I love it! It took me a while to understand how to play (your description here was useful, thx!), but once you understand it, it's great fun. The music is excellent, and I like how you have to "earn" power to play the action game on the right. Eventually, I ran out of brown and my container got destroyed by the tree that I could no longer "cut", but I used my stock to the bone on the mini action game. My High score was 3287 :)
Great entry, congrats!
Very interesting game! I like the concept and "real-world message" behind it. I actually ended up with the better solution on my first run, so It's not that hard to find ;)
I think the game may need some additional balancing for all players to really understand the meaning of the game. In one run, I choose to recruit about 5-6 soldiers and to shoot manually all the red that were going in. The happiness decreased a little, but then got back to 100 quickly as the money rolled in. But after a few minutes, the game over screen appeared telling me I didn't use the best solution, while my current in game score could let me think that this was indeed the *right* choice.
But anyway, congrats on putting a game both fun to play and thought-provoking!
Outstanding entry! Very simple but very entertaining / addictive game, I love it! It just lacks a background music IMHO, but the rest is perfect! The graphics are great, the difficulty is challenging but fair, and the gameplay is very fun! Congrats!
I like the sad mood and overall "strange" feeling of this game. Good work, I like when games make us think about life.
However, I'm actually a bit confused about the message itself: is it some kind of battle between fear and love, when our own character is "fear" and must escape love that want to "destroy" it?
And what is the symbol beneath this woman sleeping in the house at the beginning?
Nice entry, fun to play and with a lot of humor. The new takes on two old classic game works great, and the graphics are really awesome!
My only complaint would lies in the difficulty of the game: the two buttons controls make it quite hard to play (harder than the traditionnal 4 buttons snake), so it would be nicer for players to restart on the last screen than from a checkpoint, which can sometimes be very frustrating to restart 4 or 5 five screen because you mixed up "left" with "right" button.
Anyway, excellent entry overall, i love it!
Nice idea. The rotating world is nice, and the games is quite challenging too! I like how the first level is a mandatory tutorial - I wouldn't have understood the "shop" mechanic without it!
Congrats!
Impressive entry! It's the 3rd Gameboy game i'm playing during this LD, and I'm still impressed at the technical achievement to create such a game on GameBoy in 48h only!
The game itself is quite cool and fun to play. Easy to pick up, but very challenging. I like how your shots make you move forward, and this is the only way to move right or left. If you continue developing this game, you should increase the recoil to make it more fun/challenging for the player, because this great idea seems currently a little "less important" compared to the enemies and lava floor to avoid :)
Woaw, this is the most creative entry I've played so far!
I really love your idea, both fun to play and it does break the 4th wall! I love the art style and the general mood too (for some reason, the programmer makes me think about Attack on Titans's Colossal Titan), and it's filled with humor too!
5/5, this game deserve to be in the top25 entries of the compo IMHO!
Excellent entry, I love it!
The art and audio is outstanding (I love the rewind sound, and the animation of the exit portal). The overall mood is terrific too 5/5. The rewind effect is very good.
Gameplay-wise, it's simple at first, but it quickly becomes very challenging. I had a very hard time completing the last level! I really love how you manage to use this single room so many times by flipping it over.
Overall, it's a very fun and creative entry, I really enjoyed completing it! I'm quite amazed that it's only your first Jam, I'm eager to see what you're going to do next time!
Bravo!
P.S.: What tools did you use to make the game? Coded by hand?
Outstanding entry, I lloooooove it! The graphics style and music is outstanding, I really fell like a raging beast while playing this game! :) Quite challenging though.
I'm also amazed at how polished the game feels right now - very impressive for a first LD entry.
My only complaint: a way to rebind key / use arrow key for non-qwerty keyboard users! (played the web version)
Excellent entry, I love it! It's a really simple arcade game, but one that is very hard to "let go", and that you'll keep playing for the high score!
I just love the sheep sound and graphics, and the overall game is extremely fun - one of my favorite entries so far!
Oh, and I hate those spikes! :)
What, that's a very nice entry. I totally love the mood of the game, quite sad and depressing. It reminds me of Diablo I, and the music is just outstanding. The game ending added an extra layer to this incredible mood too.
Gameplay, it's fun to play and midly challenging. I like how many levels, ennemies, and bosses you put in there. The "spike" booby trap is very clever (often, I'll kill all enemies on a floor, just to be wiped but one of these spiked balls). My only complaint is that the hero base shot is to slow (rapid fire is great though), and that you can combine Triple shot and rapid fire ;)!
Woaw, hard to judge such an entry. I won't ask whether it's an autobiographical game or not, but it does resonate with my guts when I played it. The sad and depressing mood conveyed through this game is incredibly strong, and I think it was your intent. If the game is based on real events, I hope you'll get better.
N.B.: I notice that you used Scratch to create your game, so did I!
Nice entry, I love it! It's quite a challenging game, fast paced and twitchy, I like that. I like how the bat moves, make them hard to shoot down.
I also love the graphics and the overall mood of the game (the sun set effect is quite nice).
One complaint though: the laser shooting sound is quite ear-tearing, especially when you spam the shoot button. You should replace it with a softer (and shorter sound), or at least reduce the volume of the sound (IMHO, it both too loud and too high pitched, but that may be just me)
Excellent game, I love it! The idea is wonderful and very unique, and the game play quite nicely. I did struggle at first to identify that I basically needed to clear the apartment to complete the first level, but once I found it, I found it quite easy to play. The first person view is great, I didn't realize that the game was in 3D at First - congrats to the graphic artists, it really feels like a 2D isometric game :)
Also, I love how many levels there are in total, and the poop & demons based humor!
Great job!
Nice entry, I really love the overall mode and the graphics style. Regarding gameplay, it's easy to control the game, and quite challenging!
You should continue developing it into a more complete game!
I love this idea, it's a brilliant take on the theme! The gameplay is genious, it's hilarious to throw SSD at computers like that! It's quite challenging too, it took me several tries before finding a good "landing spot" for the SSDs.
My record was 40.51GB/S, and god knows that there were piles of SSD on all my computers... but sadly I think one pyramid feel and I lost!
My only complaint would be that the "instructions screen" and "game over screen" can't be skipped when we click - it's a detail, but when you have to start over the game 10 or 15 times it's good to be able to start it as quickly as possible!
Woaw, congrats on this very solid entry!
The graphics are simple, but with the audio it creates an excellent "mood", I love it! Gameplay-wise, it's very entertaining, and the level design is perfect. It's start easy, then becomes challenging very quickly.
Well done!
Nice game! I love the title screen (beautiful 3d effect) and the general idea. Adding a "jump" mechanic to the classic "tron cycles" game makes it way more interesting and challenging.
Regarding jump, maybe it could be nice to be able to modify the jump length by holding down the button more or less longer - some times, to crush a worm, it's better to use a very short jump, while other time, it could be useful to do a very long jump to avoid 3 rows of your tail.
You should definitively pursue developing it, and add a soundtrack :).
I didn't take part in this LD, so I can't vote, but I wanted to leave at least a comment to congratulate you this excellent entry!
The code idea is brilliant and well executed, there are quite a lot of room, and sfx/gfx are cool - a perfect LD entry!
I really hope you push this into a full fledged game, because it clearly has a lot of potential!
This is simple but very addicting game! I like the strategy with the subscriptions/loans, and this is overall a very fun experience, congrats!
I really love the whole "everything moves" graphics style, it feels quite dynamic. On the tech side, the games runs smoothly on my very old Ipad (with iOS 9 or 10), congrats for the optimization!
Out of curiosity, does your HTML5 engine (that I'm eager to try!) rely on a existing layer for rendering (like pixi.js for example)? Or is everything made from scratch?
I'm asking because many HTML5 games no longer run on my Ipad, so it's cool to see a 2021 HTML5 games that still support it! :)
I really love the music and the audio, they set a very cool "crazy" mood! :)
Overall the game is simple but effective and quite fun to play with other people. If you keep working on it, it would be cool to add some AI players, so we can play it solo, or add more challenger to a multiplayer game.
Also, on a technical note, the game doesn't seem to take into account non-qwerty keyboard. I'm on AZERTY here, and the A is mapped to Q. Its not a big issue though, as pressing other keys (like Q) doesn't make you loose :)
A perfect LD entry! The game is original, very beautiful, great (but challenging) gameplay, excellent audio... I have nothing to complaint about or to suggest to improve it!
Congratulations on this outstanding job, that deserves a place in the LD jam podium!
Woaw, cool to see a GBA game! As a fellow homebrew developer (never done the GBA yet, but I did try the SNES in a previous LD) i always love to discover new LD games for old consoles :).
As for the game itself the idea is cool and the graphics are great, but the game is way too challenging for me in it's current state! It's very hard to punch those fishes, as they move fast and the punch doesn't have a lot of range.
As mentioned above, if you can add the score on GUI during gameplay that would be cool too :)
Anyway, congrats on such an achievement in limited time, and I'm really looking forward the more complete version for the GBAJam! :)
Woaw, cool game, congrats!
I love the graphics, overall polish and "retrogaming" mood! The game is simple to pick up, and quite easy at first, but it come very very hard in no time!
Using mouse on Web Build my best score so far is 7700.
I love the music too, as well as the "game over" sound that reminds me a lot about Megaman!
I hope you keep working on it and release it as a fully fledged PC/Mobile game!
Woaw, very beautiful game! The graphics a very good, congrats!
Gameplay wise, it's simple but efficient, although with time I found it very tedious to have to wait for the rocks to be "mined". Maybe you should remove or at least reduce the time needed to wait each gold rock. I mean, once a room is cleared of all enemies, I wanted to collect all the items ASAP to go to the next room :).
I hope you'll keep working on it by adding audio, as you do have a very promosing and gorgeous base!
really solid game, very polished, great music, great graphics, and fun to play! I really love the blob animations, and all the tiny details around here. The control scheme is very easy to pick up, and although I played it on a computer I guess it mobile friendly too!
I can't believe you made it in 48h only, congrats!
Cool platformer game, congrats! The graphics are so cute, and I really love the "3d cylinder" camera effect. The music is cool too and set a great mood.
The gameplay is very responsive, and becomes challenging very fast. Congrats on this sold entry!
A simple but nice game you have made here, congrats! I really love the music and the graphics, it set a relaxing mood! (at least until we start to move faster!). I loved the "fake coin" enemy, it's a very effective trap!
The game is quite challenging in it's current state, maybe you should reduce the enemies spawn rate, or increase the player left/right movement speed.
Another minor complaint: when we reach the speed of 4.5, we have at the same speed as the coins, so it's very difficult to catch one (you have to wait for a lucky spawn in the same vertical position as yours). Maybe you should give the coins a random Y movement speed to avoid this.
All in all, you should keep on working on it, it could become a nice game for mobile :)
Cool game, congrats!
It starts of quite easy, but it really becomes stressing has you go down (around level 30 its becomes challenging for me). I love the sound, and the visual are simple but effective.
If you continue working on this, maybe you could has different kind of enemies to spice things up?
Also, I faced an "unfair" death once: I used 3D glasses to teleport, and wrapped to another 3D glasses tile where an enemy was already here (the enemy is displayed below the glasses, making it even harder to notice).
Anyway, cool game, and I hope you keep working on it!
Hi! For some reason, the web version doesn't work here (I'm on Firefox on Windows / 32 bits). I have the error "indirect call to null" after the game finishes loading. I tried both the original and bugfixed version, and it crashes on startup in both cases.
Woaw, this is a brilliant concept, I love it! The idea is very fun to play, and it's not so easy to feed the pacman before the ghost get him!
This is a very good entry, congrats!
Woaw, a nice physics-based platformer with a clever twist, I love it! I managed to clear all the levels. The last one did pose me some challenge, as, when I managed to get the gang to the end, I realized I left one critter behind. So i had to backtrack quite a lot to retrieve it, it was a fun experience.
The game is very interesting, please keep working on it by adding more levels. Also, I think you should add some sound effects to enhance the whole experience (the music is great btw).
A very great entry fitting the theme well, congrats!
Woaw, this is an amazing and unique game!
My best run was 9 speeches: VoxRegis_highscoreB.png
I really love the concept, and the execution is flawless! It's very interesting to try to let the faction grows so we don't give too much speeches, but then there is tension that one of them will reach 30 members before our speech! Graphics and sound are top notch, I especially love the title screen with the parallax (and the ingame too). Fits the theme very well too.
A awesome entry, congrats!
N.B. It was nice to hear those latin sentences, especially the "Ludum Dare" one! Is that the official way to say "Ludum Dare" ;)?
Woaw, thanks a lot everyone for the great feedback, and for taking the time to try the game! I'm happy you enjoyed it, and I hope it'll help some of you making their own Pokemon Mini homebrew game in the future.
This weekend, I managed to beat my own highscore, and reached 347 points on real hardware. I've updated the page with a new highscore photo, and also a short gameplay video of the game running on real hardware.
For now, the **current record holder is @samuli with 413 points**, congratulations!
Thanks @andrewkennedy for the wise suggestion to put an emulator link here, I've updated the page to do so.
Thanks a lot @iamgreaser for taking the time to port the game to Linux, this is very impressive! That's what I love with Ludum Dare and all the game being open-source, the community always comes up with interesting and unexpected ideas and enhancements! :) And yes the sprite format is a bit odd, with the first bytes of the tile data being "masks", but this technical choice makes the consoles quite easy to develop games for, as mask and graphics data are stored together and thus easy to update when animating sprites. Really thanks for your contribution, it's really motivating to keep doing games! :)
And @wendel-scardua I recommend making games for the Pokémon Mini, it's a very fun experience for me. The console is actually quite close to a Game Boy or a NES in its spirit. It has a "PPU" (here called the DPC) capable of displaying one plane of scrollable background tilemap *(various sizes available, I used 12x16 tiles here, so 1 screen width x 2 screen height)*, and up to 24 sprites handled through an OAM table like other machines. Everything being made of 1-bit graphics is a strong limitation, but also speeds up development time IMHO :). The whole SDK being available in C really helps to get started (although developing in assembly is possible too of course, with the same toolchain).
I'll try to keep working on a post-compo version of the game, at least to try to add some sound in the game. And I'll see if I can tweak it to improve gameplay too! :)
Thanks again everyone for your great feedback, you're awesome!
I love this game!
The game mecanic is very good, although I should try this on mobile because it's very hard to draw circles with a mouse! The graphics and audio are top notch, the game feels very polished with various levels, leaderboard, and a lot of "juice" everywhere.
I also love that you can catch several rabbits at once! This is a very risky move, but very rewarding when you manage to pull it off! This is an excellent idea, congrats!
This is a very solid entry without any real flaw IMHO. But if you are looking for suggestions, here is some minor stuffs: - I think the difficulty gap is a bit too hard between each level: easy is very easy (and it's good for beginners) while medium is already quite challenging, and i could finish hard even after several tries (those bunnies are jumping too fast!) maybe adding 5 difficulty levels instead of 3 would allow for a more progressive ramp up? - Maybe you could display the score during gameplay too? When I was attempting several times the easy level to try to get on the leaderboard, it was a bit frustrating to play "blind" and I didn't know how much I scored during each new attempts before the end.
I hope you release this on mobile, they would love it!
Woaw, this a very good and polished arcade game!
I love the graphics and music, and the gameplay is very fun! I like the risk/reward mechanic, with the extra fish being harder to deliver in the zone, but earning you more points! I also love how they turn into hazards when not delivered.
The game starts easy but quickly become very challenging, but after each game over, I just wanted to start another attempts as the game feels fair: If I loose, it's because I made a mistake, not because the game cheats or whatever.
Congrats for this great entry!
Woaw, this is a great NES games, congratulations!
I love the audio, it's excellent and set a very good mood! I also love how the game is a great fit for the theme, observing tiny creatures under a microscope. Somehow, I get "Dr. Mario" feeling when playing this game :).
The gameplay is very fun, once you get the hang of it, times becomes on enemy, and it's hard to "race" clearing the plates without making mistakes. My best score is 11 plates after several tries.
As a fellow homebrew developer, thanks for keeping the NES alive! And congrats for this great entry :)
Nice take on the Tamagotchi genre, with very cute graphics!
I love the minigame idea to increase / decrease the impact of each action. As mentioned by others commenters, more minigame would be great, but in its current state the minigame is quite challenging to keep player interested.
Congrats on this good entry, I hope you keep working on it!
Hi! I was eager to try your game as I noticed it on the feed during the compo. So yours is the first one I'm trying and I'm not dissapointed, you did a great job!
The mood is outstanding, it's very unsettling, but somehow we still want to keep playing more. The graphics are very good, and the audio is wonderful to set the tone. I really loved the uniqueness of the concept (very innovative), and it's a good implementation of the theme IMHO.
I had fun trying the various interactions in the game / playground. Is there a goal or state to reach? I think I got more than 500 deaths *(those damn spiders)* and I fed the head loads of time, but I didn't seem to trigger anything special. It's not a issue, as it's a fun & unique experience, but I was wondering if I missed something or not.
Regarding suggestions, here are a couple of things I noticed: - The drowned creatures generates a "green smoke", is there anything more to do with it? - The hammer is a great idea, but it's a bit hard to use, especially when you are defending your creatures against a spider invasion. In this case, I want to use it repeatedly, but it seems that there is a "cooldown" time and it doesn't trigger every time I click. Or maybe I need to be close enough to a spider for the hammer to strike? (in that case, maybe you could increase the spider detection area so it's easier to get them, as they move fast) - I was sometimes able to pick several creatures at the same time, by repeatedly clicking on them instead of picking them one by one. I don't know if it's intended, but I do enjoy it! (it's funny to have a hand full of creatures to do an action instead of just one).
Overall, it's a very good entry, and I hope you keep working on it!
Woaw, I love this game! It has a 80's arcade feel, and the overall game is fun to play and very polished!
My highest score is 205: Patch_high_score_crop.png
The game is very addictive and great in its current state, but if you're looking for suggestions: - Maybe you could add some music tune during gameplay (the game starting jingle is nice, something along these lines. - The tractors wheels would look cooler if animated - Maybe it would make the game interesting if the grey carrots also gave you points? For example like 2 points? That way, you could try to collect them too, at the risk of being reversed and thus more likely to die. I don't know, maybe this is a silly suggestion, as the game currently works very well (it's brutal with 3 tractors! :))
Congrats for this excellent entry!
Woaw, very interesting game, I love it!
For now, I only played against the AI, but I'll try it with real people too. I love the theme, the mechanics is interesting, and I was quickly hooked to the game trying to get the highest score. Along the way, I think I maybe found a bug: once I scored 57, the end screen told me that my score was "NaN" (not a number):
56LilyPad_scorebug.png
It happened twice, on the first try I didn't watch the score closely but it was at 50 while I still had 3 or 4 moves to make. On the second try I did watch it closely and it was 57. I didn't happen to me on my first tries, when my score was lower (around 40 something).
Kudos for this great entry!
@dhim: I was winning the game both times this happen. It was my 3rd and 4th play in a row IIRC.
Woaw, a dreamcast entry, very impressive!
The game is very fun too, I love it! The story is top notch, I love the art and voice over, and overall humor. The game itself is short but fun to play, I like that you have two weapons and thus can try various strategies!
My best score after several attempts was 32:50 seconds (spear is your friend), but I saw on the previous comments that it can be lower, so I'll keep trying.
Anyway, congrats on this great entry, and for keeping the Dreamcast alive!
Woaw, this game is hard! The idea is interesting, and I love the graphics. The car traffic is nicely done too, the "traffic jam" / rush hour is nicely done.
I think that the "long jump" time windows is maybe a bit too short, or rather, it comes to soon. Wouldn't the game be less punishing if the power meter would increase slightly slower?
An interesting entry with a original (and punishing :p) take on an arcade classic, congrats!
Woaw, this is outstanding! The concept is brilliant and the execution is great! I love the graphics and audio, and I had a lot of fun completing the game.
Regarding feedback, I only one suggestion, that may be more a "personal preference": often my moths dies because I tried to turn of the light by clicking again with the left mouse button, instead of using the right one.
I think several players (including me) want to naturally press the same button again to turn a light on/off (like a light switch in real life!). So maybe it would feel better with only the left mouse button used? (I know it'll be better for me, don't know about other players).
Overall an excellent and unique game, congrats!
Woaw, what an excellent and polished game! I was hooked and spent about 1 hour minutes completing all 16 levels! (the last one got me thinking for much longer that I'd like to admit :p)
The game is great, the various beasts make for loads of variety, the level design is top notch with a smooth learning curves. I'm very impressed that you managed to make such a polished and content-rich game during the compo, congrats!
My only complaint would be about the music. It's good and set a fitting mood, but it's way to loud compared to sound effects, and can be distracting. It's made a bit to fast / upbeat rythm too, I think a slower tune would allow a for a "calmer" mood, but I'm nitpicking here, as it's an outstanding track on its own.
This feels like a commercial and complete games. Add more levels, and you're ready to release it for the world! (and honestly, with the 16 levels currently in the game, it's offering quite a long play time already).
Nice little game, I love the graphics style!
I know this is unfinished, but in case you didn't notice, when the monster does eat all the green creature, there is no "game over" screen, the game keep playing but nothing happens.
Regarding gameplay, I had a lot of fun try to save them all, it took me several tries! I love how you can grab the creatures, even it can become dangerous as the red monster could eat many of them at once if they touch you while you are holding a lot of creatures!
I hope you keep working on it, it's a cute game with a lot of charm.
Woaw, I love this game! The movement feels great, and the core idea is fun and fits the theme very well!
Please keep working on this game post-compo and add more level, you have a very good concept already! Besides more levels, maybe you could add some music too? And a way to end current levels if players loose too many creatures making them unable to complete the current level maybe?
Very good entry overall, congrats!
Woaw, this is an excellent game! One of the best I've tried so far, congrats! I really love the concept, and it fits the theme well. The graphics are gorgeous, and the level design a very well done. The first levels are easy, but then it becomes very challenging!
This game deserves to be expanded with more levels, it'll be an instant hit on steam! :)
Wow, a very good idea, and I love the graphic artstyle! Even without being able to read text, the whole game works so well!
I really hope you keep working on it, by adding more content and by adding some sounds maybe?
Also, maybe this is a bad idea, but wouldn't be better if the area outside of the windows was less visible? Not totally dark, but maybe slightly darker? It would emphasize the "tiny windows onto a big world" idea IMHO.
A very unique entry, congrats!
Interesting game, with a mouse only control! The graphics and audio are great, the level design is good (easy at first, then became quite challenging). It's sometimes quite frustrating, but once you get use to it, it fells good to run trough the level at lightspeed!
Great entry congrats!
Woaw, this is an interesting entry! I love the minimalistic UI + insane gameplay depth combo! It took me some times to get a hold of the game, but reading help (and comments here :p) did help. The game fits very well the theme, both graphically and gameplay wise with the ant colony development.
I hope you keep working on it, for example by adding an interactive tutorial at the beginning of the game :).
Great work.
Woaw, a nice a very polished entry, congrats! I'm impressed you managed to make a full mobile-ready game in 48h!
The gameplay is nice, but a bit too challenging for me when played with a mouse. Maybe, as someone else also suggested, you could try to lower the gravity, so the game would require you to shoot balloons less often, allowing you to focus / think more when to shoot. Right now the best strategy seems to be spamming balloons just to be kept afloat :)
The audio and graphics are wonderful, the game has a nice relaxing/casual mood.
Congrats on this great entry! You should release it on mobile stores, players will love it!
Woaw, this is very unique and original idea, I love it! I think it's the first time I'm "not playing" while playing, and it's quite challenging :).
Really great entry, top notch for the originality and theme aspects (and humor too!).
If you're looking for suggestions: - Maybe you should make a 1st level with less bricks so it's shorter, in order to "hook" players into the game. Right now the level is quite long, and thus the game is challenging. It could be better with a first level displaying for example half of the bricks you have now. And then you can offer more levels after that. - The game definitively needs a catchy music (or a 80's arcade music) :)
Great work on this entry, I hope you keep working on it!
Excellent game, congrats!
It took me much more than 10 minutes to complete the 13 levels, lol! (around 25-30 minutes I'd say). This is a very clever idea and well executed. The graphics and audio are excellent, and the puzzle are great. I like how you introduce new mechanics (fire, new butterfly, etc.), it keeps the game fresh. Some levels were quite challenging, while some other were easy, it's nice that the difficulty progression isn't linear, it let you "breathe" a little to have easier levels between hard levels
You should keep working on the game and make new levels, it could became a commercial full game (either PC or mobile, or both!).
A really odd idea that actually turn quite well! :)
The Mario engine was wonderful recreated in the game (in Pico-8, congrats!), and the fact that you can use a machinegun inside this cartoony world is very unique!
My only complaint with the game is that the camera makes it very hard to avoid enemies. I know you can't zoom out (Pico-8!) but you should at least make the camera not centered on mario, but putting him in the left or right side of the screen depending on the direction the player is facing. That way, we could better see the "hazards lying ahead".
Also, the ammo is way to limited :p
Congrats for your entry!
This game has the best atmosphere / mood I've seen. I love the graphics style, I don't how you achieved such beautiful "painting" effect. The sound are great too, and it's a very immersive experience.
Your take on the theme is very original too, the horror of daily routine.
Congrats on your entry!
Thanks you all for your feedback! :)
@LMB: Yes, level 10 is a reference to Space Invaders :).! I'm sorry you couldn't read the ending screen, so here it is attached:
shootanoid-ending.gif
As you can see, it's nothing fancy (not enough time), but it does display the total number of death you had before finishing the game ;)
Very nice game, a cool idea well executed. It took me a a few turns to understand the role of speedud/slowdown, but once i figured out I had lot of fun during the race.
I like how your are free to decided how many waypoint to add for each "turn", and some tiny details like the current rank being displayed on checkpoint, etc.
To improve the game, maybe you should modify how the collision with opponents are handled: for now, they keep following their course while you are bumped. If the opponent would be bumped too, that would be more fun (and more fair), enabling the player to "crash down" on the opponent if they want.
Kudos for completing a 3D game (I love the racetrack) in such a limited time!
Woaw, a very original entry! I like the sound of the music you created as the levels gets more and more complex (more enemies, but more turrets!)
The building / rythm tapping mechanics works very well, and is very original too. The audio and graphics are quite polished too, I like the particles ;).
P.S.: As a first time user of a "fantasy console" too (I used TIC-80 instead of PICO-8 for my entry) I'm very impressed by what you achieved in such a limited time. Congrats!
Hey, for some reason the game doesn't seem to be able to complete loading on my computer (it get randomly stuck between 4%-33%). Even reloading the page several times doesn't solve the issue.
I'm on W7(x64) with Firefox.
Simple idea, but a very polished and entertaining game! I love how the difficult increases quite fast, and it's very though to beat the game (why does those avatar keeps on going back to the previous level that was so hard to beat!)
Congrats on this excellent entry!
The graphics and audio are wonderful, it's really cute, congrats!
The game itself is also very interesting, I was very surprised by the twist destroy / then rebuild, it's very unique! You should complete this game and add an ending, because it's the cutest entry I've played so far ! :)
Wow, that's a very clever "streamlining" effort of the survival genre. I like how the game is very easy to understand even without any text. The mood is excellent, so are the graphics and the audio, and the game deliver a very entertaining experience.
I feel that water is waiting depleting a bit too fast when hunting, especially as it's very slow to drink even with a upgraded scooping tool, but I'm just nitpicking here.
Congrats for your great game!
Woaw, this is the best entry i've played so far! It's a very good game. I Like beat'em up, so the core game was appealing to me, but when I discovered the "fan" mechanic, I was socked - it's so brilliant!
It's a very creative take on two genre (beat'em up and idle game) that I would have thought to be 100% incompatible, but your game is the proof that they can be a perfect match!
I have nothing to complain about, the game is fun, original, creative, has good graphics and audio, has humor (the ending is LOL) and is spot on regarding theme. It deserve to be in the compo winners!
I've been eager to play this one, and I'm not disappointed! :) It's very solid entry, kudos! I like the core gameplay loop, it feels so satisfying when we "dunk" the enemies. Overall, the "Game Feel" is excellent too, with a lot of details in animation, music, zoom... Very impressive for a 48h game!
The game is quite challenging though, once you loose your ball, it's very likely that you'll lose one life because an enemy will have time to go through before you get it back.
Also, on my computer, there is no way to restart the game (I have to quit and relaunch it manually after a Game Over). I used the "alternative" download and i'm on W7 64 bits.
Well Done!
Hi, the game isn't working for me too. It finished the loading (the bar get completed), but then it stays on an empty screen forever.
I'm using Firefox on Windows 7.
Nice idea and very polished execution, I'm impressed. The graphics and audio are very good (including shader special effect), and the overall gameplay is quite smooth. The shooter / bonus card mechanics works quite well, kudos!
My only complaint: WASD is hard to use on an AZERTY keyboard, if you also bind "UP" to "Z" and "LEFT" to "Q" the game could be equally played on AZERTY and QWERTY keyboard :)
Oh My God - how did you manage to put so much content in 48h only! I'm very impressed but the quantity and the quality of audio and graphics assets, and also the level design, texts, and of course all the code.
The game is very fun to play too, and the music is very catchy (a requirement for rythm games). I can feel your entry will rank among the LD winners (at least, it deserves it!)
Nice concept, and wonderful execution. The audio and graphics are very polished, congrats for making them in such a short timeframe!
Regarding gameplay, it's fun, but way too challenging for me! Maybe you should try to have a larger area (or smaller sharks) or that the gun recoil moves the soldier more, because for it's very difficult to avoid all those jellyfish and sharks coming at you.
Oh, and it would be even better if you could start the game with "mouse click" instead of space :)
Woaw, this game is OUTSTANDING! I was a bit confused at first, but then I understood how to play, and I had fun for about 20 minutes (reached level 5, and level 4 was very difficult as I had only one remaining outpost to build the whole city!).
This is a really polished and entertaining arcade game, and the city building elements blends quite well with the shooter. The art and music are beautiful too, resulting in the most fun / best gameplay game I've played so far! Congrats!
Woaw, that's a very unique mashup! And it works very well, to my suprise :)!
The game is very fun to play, and I love the music and SFX, you made my day! My only complaint is that the waiting time for refueling is too long, especially when you are low on cash and cannot perform any other "garage action".
Kudos for creating such an original game in one night only, it deserves one of the top spots of the "theme" category (and audio too! ;))
I love the pixel art and the audio!
The game is fun too, but quite challenging. Having the jump cost mana is a good idea, but it make the game incredibly difficult, especially has many card are are to "time right" to wipe the enemies (the giant ball for instance).
Any it's a great idea and a cool entry, congrats!
Same here, still got the 404 error on itch - did you set the game as "Published"?
A very unique take on the theme, I love it! The game is quite challenging, it took me a lot of tries before being able to grow a very large tree. The fire is annoying, but the chainsaw machine are even more deadly!
I love the humor of the game too. Congrats on this relaxing yet challenging entry!
Whoa, it's a very relaxing game, i really love the GFX and audio, congrats! You should definitively make a VR game out of this prototype, it's a perfect fit for a hardware allowing you to "move in game by moving your head in real life".
Very good Idea, I love it! I had stopped the game during the event, and it's the first one I'm playing :)!
The execution is very well done and polished. I made several play, and I must confess that Zuma and Tower Defense do result in a great concept. My only complaint would be that there is too much randomness: everytime I lose, it's because I have several "useless" balls in a row. I know it's due to the nature of Zuma, but as thing cost money when they are shot, it make the game quite hard.
Maybe you should try to remove less money from the player when they fail to shoot a "unit" in the queue? That way, we could more easily "skip" unwanted units :).
I really love the graphics btw!
Overall, a very solid entry, congrats!
Woaw, I'm impressed by such an original and polished game! It looks like an actual SNES game, congrats!
The genre mashup works very well, and the level design is superb (so are the graphics and music, but that was obvious from the screenshots ;)).
What tool / framework did you use to code it? Pure Javascript?
Wow, the best Jam game I've played so far, it deserves a spot in the winners list! The game is incredibly polished and fun to play. It's simple to understand, but quite challenging. Of my 7 attempts, my highest score is 1101 for now!
The game is almost perfect is its current state, the only "tweak" that may improve the game would maybe be a faster movement speed, but even if it feel a bit slow for now, it adds to the challenge.
Oh, and I love that the rabbits fight back (and the are quite aggressive btw!)
Congrats for creating such an awesome game in a limited time!
Woaw, the game is very beautiful, congrats on pulling so rich pixel art in the limited time frame! I love the music too!
The game itself is interesting too (it reminds of FTL), but it take some time to learn how to play. I guess it could have been easier to understand if you added some "text tooltip" over ever icon :).
Congrats on the though, it really has the potential to get pushed into a full fledged game!
Very nice game, and quite challenging. It took me a while to complete it (that is very good at his job!). I love the "light / shadow" effect, it's very well done.
I've noticed a small bug: When you hold down "walk" toward the fridge and push "E", the character will keep on walking (and making noise) while he's seeking an item in the fridge.
Overall, I had a lot of fun completing the game, congrats!
First of all, congrats on creating a game in Scratch during Ludum Dare. I used it too for a previous LD, and it's quite a challenge when you script goes larger it's rather tedious to edit your blocks.
The game is very nice, I love the audio and graphics, and it's spot on on the theme (it's very hard to do both tasks at the same time). However, as a big fan of DDR, there are a couple of suggestion that might help you improve it: - Sometimes it's hard to see whether we got the arrow of we missed. You should had a little animation saing "perfect" or "Ok" for every arrow that was successfully hit, like the real DDR games - The song is very long, and it's hard to "keep the rythm" for several minutes. Maybe you should split it in shorter 1min-1min30 songs and do several levels. - It would be cool to add "speed meter" on the GUI, so we could now whether the car is running at full speed or not.
Anyway, congrats on your entry!
Oh my god, this a really impressive entry! I'm impressed by all the content you made, and the level of polish, in such a limited time frame. I was a first time TIC-80 user too, but my game is nowhere as good as yours!
The game is very fun, I love the different levels, and it's a good balance between arcade and strategic choices. Congrats on this wonderful entry!
One of the funniest mash-up I've seen, it's a very cool idea! The game plays quite well too :)!
Maybe instead of shooting, the biker could have used a whip to push the idea even further? :)
Woaw, that's a very fun game! The golf+stealth mix is very fun to play, it's a delicate balance between precise aim / panic shot when you're detected!
I really love the mood / humor too, those score screens with quotes are hilarious.
I'm only asking for one thing: more levels! :)
You should definitively keep working on the game. With improved graphics, some sounds, and more levels, it would make a perfect mobile game.
Congrats for your entry done in half the compo time! I like the graphics and the overall gameplay. I had a hard time figuring out how to shoot, but once I figured out that you can click on the opponent players too to "steal" the ball from them, I started scoring goal after goal!
The overall mechanics is interesting, it could definitively make a fun web games with more polish and a stronger AI (for now, it's too easy to "steal" the ball from the opponent players)
Oh I love those Pico-8 or TIC-80 games! :) Your entry is very cool and well done, i love the music and art, but the gameplay is very challenging (very hard to focux on both sides!).
Well done! :)
Cool idea, I love the graphics and the overall mood!
The game wasn't easy to understand (took me to tries to catch a fish), but once I got it I found it a bit easy, as the pirahnas are rather easy to avoid. But I had fun fishing in this lake, so congrats for your entry!
Wonderful idea, it reminds me of World Cup on NES!
Like others here, I had to struggle a bit with the controls at first, but then I managed to win by beating all the opponent players before kicking the ball into their goal!
The music is wonderful, and I like the overall story / mood.
To improve controls, maybe you could try to have the ball follow the player (for now it follow him for a few seconds only. It forced me to use Pass a lot instead)
That's a very interesting and unique take on the theme, congrats!
I really love the audio and clean graphics, and the game is simple to understand, but quite difficult to master, well done !
Very original idea, I love it! The music is great, and it's quite fun to try to "push" shapes where they belong.
To improve the game, maybe when the player is in the "3 second to recover" mode, you should boost the throw force, like x3 or x5, so we could shake all the shape at once an try to recover. For now, I never managed to recover in the 3 seconds: if I lost all my power, it was because all the shapes I needed were buried at the bottom, so it could have been helpful to be able to have a couple of powerful "force throw" to solve this.
Anyw, congrats on your entry!
Woaw, I feel this is the best LD entry :)! Not only the idea is brilliant and perfectly executed, but the game is also humorous.
Gameplay-wise, it's has infuriating as Flappy Bird while being as captivating as Tetris.
It's the perfect LD entry, congrats!
Very nice game - combining text and driving work very well, congrats!
I also absolutely love the music on your entry. What did you use to create it? By-the-way, you forgot to add the "audio" rating, which is sad because the game tune is very catchy!
