You came up with an interactive story. The history are cool, the graphics are nice, as the music.
I just think that you worried too much about working on this '3D effect', time you wasted while you could be working on more things like a map and how much rats the player are supposed to find. You know, things that add to the gameplay and are comfortable to the player.
Oh, feels like that I'm the one being trolled! The unicorn smile is too nice for me and made me want to stomp the flowers real bad!
If you had more time, I'm sure that would be a lot of gameplay improvements.
I'm giving lots of evil laughts!
It was fun kicking guys in the air and seeing the physics in action.
This is a really innovative, casual game!
That kind of game you happily play to pass the time.
The ideal target to this is surely the mobile platforms.
Great work on this!
The portrait of the Frankenstein being bad or good, it depends on the point of view. As you can see in Shelley's book, he is a monster, but got a heart. Not just physical: he is also capable of loving another beings. So, for that, I can accept him as a villain.
For the graphics, people above pointed out about the ambient of an old movie, which it does very well. Wished you putted more animation and polishing, the drawing of the portrait was impressive, but you should have did it another time.
About the audio, can't imagine how you get that music. It's awesome.
And... I found it quite easy to beat. Stopped after getting about 700 points, getting a little bored, wondering if it has an end.
Not much a fun of text-game, since I got stuck in dead-end passages.
I couldn't get far. Enemiess attacking too fast got me desperate, while I was dying and trying to hold down the key.
Sorry, it was not a pleasant experience to me.
Can't run ou game, sorry. There is an error on the .sh file.
So many Gandalfs...
But I loved the stylish graphics. You did it really good.
A true villain!
So much fun and so hard! The characer is what I loved the most, an orienal dragon!
And I heard no sound. Sad.
Truly polished game, and the music count as well.
But there is a 'impossible room', at the end of the first corridor with lots of shooting stuff. There is no way to go there live.
It felt a little pointless...
Same as above. Refreshed the page a couple of times and nothing.
Although I've made one or two games before, I know you feeling when I started. But I will give it some advice.
First, your game needs an ending or some feedback, as @GeorgeBroussard said. It means that, as him, I stopped after some time because it got me bored, continuing was just pointless.
Second, learn everything you can about collisions! It's one of the core aspects that almost every game have and the better you do it, higher are the chances of success. Because no one wants to see a person and a wall overlapping, right?
So, the thing that I liked the most was the idea and the humor (stealing cows is a funny thing).
Good luck, keep working!
So weird, so bizarre. But I liked it, very creative and well made.
Took me some time figure it out what are the crystals in this ambient. And more than once, the hook disattached from the chain.
The comments above had already said it all, but good luck on the next projects.
Don't like it too much. The shooting are imprecise, takes too long and the 'goat mother' don't die. Don't even know if I'm making progress.
Just wow, your game is perfect! Following all the teenager horror filmes, with all those clichés, you made one of the best games I've played on this competition.
There is a error on the console, I can't drag stuff.
managers.lua:50 attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
Too bad, I wanna play. :(
Oh sorry, I didn't knew that Spacebar starts the level. I mean, I didn't figured out that the level starts paused. You should put something indicating that, maybe after the competition.
I'm having fun with this, remember me some of those old games like Lemmings. Work more on this, fix the bugs and this game will be awesome!
Someone tell me where the drop button is.
Excellent game, so polished! Doesn't looks like a 2-days game!
I liked to play, although throwing rocks and eggs was hard to hit.
Oh, and I found the Drop button. Sorry. =P
And the Hero mocks you! I ended wanting to play more of this!
Sorry if I can't rate more than 5, in every aspect! ;)
Great game! Love how the film style matches the epoch and the music immersion.
So, to add things, I wished that I could review my notes and the game informed me somehow that I shooted the wrong guy.
Yeah, I couldn't finish it, I guess...
I really liked this game. Mostly, because of the AI behavior. They see everything in front of them, they notice dead buddies and they search for you.
The only thing that I found hard was to stab, it needs to be precise to do it.
It's a great work!
The character is bad (like a real thief) and was fun to play.
I just wish that I could see farther than this, because the enemies have a larger line of sight than you and sometimes I didn't knew if they were there.
But it was still fun to play, so I'm giving a good rating.
I liked the ideia. The sad part is that looks like an incomplete project, so I didn't enjoy the lack of sound, the graphic style and my minions moving slowly.
There is a couple of issues, where the stuff on screen doesn't disappear on menu, my character suddently disappeared and music stopped.
I also liked the graphics, especially the background.
There is a couple of game developers like you, trying to show the world that somethings is wrong somewhere. Then, the theme fitted perfectly: oppressors are truly evil.
Really liked your game (pretty hard though).
Creative, funny and unexpected villain. Good job!
This was very creative, really. Put a big score on that, real fun as a dating simulator. I laughted all the way! Thanks!
That was close, but I wined! And YES, the Hero is invulnerable, as always! Destroying it's folks is the true way of winning.
I must point out that you put some strategy elements to the game and just let it to the player to figure it out the best way! This makes the game challenging and that's why this is a really good game.
"Oh you are a cruel master!"
Loved this game!
Provide us with a link that doesn't need repository cloning.
Well... too simple. Obvious questions and one-way to answer.
Also, the text bugged a lot of times.
Laughed hard, those are very comic faces.
Tip.: if you hide your name/city/age and then restart, the letters remains messed up. It's a bug.
It's like QWOP for eating sushi.
It's hypnotizing.
What about the game?
Great work! Timory got a lot of character.
And all these quotations fits the game properly.
Awaiting full version.
The best thing I can say it's the mood, while I try to imagine how is it to live as a sad robot with only 10 seconds of battery. But I felt that the game lacked some objective, a reason to keep going. Or maybe I'm not too fond of exploration-only games.
And well, people already told you about the bugs. Also, he lost his momentum on room transition.
Absurdly immersive!!
Are we allowed to fix the language mistakes for the Jam? Because I think it falls on the typo category.
Liked the art, but... only two levels. It was a bit sad.
Tip: publish on the Web.
Great game! I only missed a score system.
Really nice, but the music repeated too much.
Haha, too bad I'm not a good architect.
Had a nice time and won't complain about being simplistic, the gameplay handles the job.
Haha, funny game. The style attracted me, beautiful psychedelic colors.
Too bad it's that short.
Pretty well made game. They work really good as a team, and I find the first two levels to be clever.
The buttons where a bit buggy, specially at the third level, but you can work that out.
The game doesn't go well becaues mechanics don't work.
Also, why do I have all the arrows keys as options (minus down key) if he keeps running forever?
I'm sorry, couldn't even play it right.
This is innovation for me, most runners games don't rely on time to win.
What else can I say? The game is beautiful, have a good set of levels and the music is pleasing, but not for that long.
Great game overall!
Haha, it's a bit frustrating.
Awesome entry! And I can cheat, hahaha!
Haha, I had fun. Nice story.
THIS GAME IS AWESOME!
Go with a sword and mage skills and you're done.
And I hate those yellow blobs, they run faster than you. I must admit that they are the only that makes it a hard game.
I reached about day 33. What do you think on scoring systems, multiplayer mode and polishing? Can be a true product someday.
This would be a great multiplayer game!
Fun mechanics!
I just wonder why the so long intro and the pretty small characters.
Good job!
Beautiful game, music and art. I liked it.
Problem is I couldn't see the platforms because the game was too dark, so it kind that frustrated me.
Seems well crafted, but I didn't liked it. The sounds were annoying, which demotivated to discover the controls any further. Sorry.
But I must say that's innovative and generate pretty colors, and people seemed to like it.
Human rights are overrated!
Got it sometimes, missed most of it. T_T
Charismatich game, wish you the best!
We think this is a bad trip at first, but everything here makes total sense. It's creative and fuck. Awesome job.
Wow, you can improve this game so much! And it's awesome already!
Very creative, I almost felt sorry for Jacob! Haha!
I sse were the inspiration came from. However, thanks for the experience. :)
Incredible entry, I see the beautiful work you've put in this.
Oh no, why the alien doesn't merge with the Kid? ;-;
So sad...
It's pretty and well done, but I didn't like it. Drills keep coming faster and faster and you can't manage the resource's recharge speed. Dashing also have cooldown and doesn't help that much. You just wait until it goes to an inevitable defeat and you feel powerless as time pass by.
Great graphics, good idea and mood... I think it would be suited for two players. AI experience was kinda frustrating, lots of random shots and blind spots.
Nice entry btw
@Coomzy I didn't make the audio.
@zakchaos Because of this Chrome thing and I was kinda in a hurry
Couldn't run the game on my machine.
I could not play, I thought that the letter "E" on the robot meant the "E" key on the keyboard.
I really liked the concept, but it was too hard to play. It was easy to miss the platforms while jumping or trying to hit them with the arrows. And then I fell a lot of times.
You could try next time to make something smaller but with a gamplay that works good.
It was nice game. The weapons wasn't that "unusual". The gameplay was cool, being able to ascend/dive felt like freedom of movement.
I stopped at Level 4 because got frustrated, since being able to aim down for example would be very helpful. Graphics were also good for a Jam, no one should be minding about that, it's details.
Nice entry!
Find it boring. With that graphic ambience, I would rather play an horror game.
It's what a lot of people have said, the only fault this game have is how it presents itself to the player. I spent some minutes trying to figure out what to do and even restarted the game three times. But I have only compliments to the rest: beautiful, very polished and fresh approach to theme. Nice entry!
Short but awesome game. Fantastic visuals and solid gameplay, gave a 5 on this!
Didn't worked even with Windows 7 compatibility mode.
Game is cute but didn't find it very fun. Enemies feels very unfair. Good luck and greetings from AGDG.
What? The road just ends with some buildings and you lose? How do you win this game?
Ok, so I entered the game, some leve loaded and nothing happened. Nobody was moving, I was only able to edit the scene and nothing more. Tried severel buttons and clicks.
@kroltan the problem was that your own level wasn't working, which was sad.
I had no idea what to do. Do I clean the entire floor? How do you kill the slimes? What's the purpose of those "bones blocks", are those the fossils I'm looking for? Is there any way to drop them into my ship? Beautiful game but left me clueless.
Paperboy vibes
Charming! 10/10 made me wanna watch Vikings again
Tried to install it throught itch.io app before and after installing Adobe Air but nothing happens.
Yeah I spent like 3 hours grinding everything until all bosses fell to my might +34 attack bonus.
Really enjoyable. In many levels I had to stop for a few minutes and think about a good strategy.
Really enjoyable game! Sadly, I had to watch your video just to pass the first level, then the rest went without any problem. In my opinion, a puzzle game can't have cryptic/hidden controls but exactly the opposite! The player must know all of his tools so he can discover clever ways to use them.
Hey people! I'm really, really happy for the time each of you spent on the game and more important - your personal experience. Since the jam provides such short time, you probably realized by now that the game had rough edges and a very simplistic logic to "beat" the game.
However, every feedback was taken into account (a lot of them was really touching) and if you have an Itch account, please subscribe on my feed to get notified when the post-jam version comes out, with focus on interface interaction, alongside a more expanded and interactive environment in the hopes the experience becomes deeper and more enjoyable!
Again, thank you all for such an amazing jam!
This is absolutely hilarious.
Ludum Dare, such indie. Yo mamma. 10/10
I doesn't quite work... A lot of people say a bunch of things about them and I couldn't write anything on the notepad because if you click on the icon, the dialog just skips. Graphics were ok, it's normal when in a rush but the music... well, just doesn't fit. If you tried to go for an Atari themed game would be nice instead of a "Deus Ex" ambience. Also, I couldn't click at anything or talk to anyone. Clicking on door on the bar goes nowhere. So I kept skipping time, seeing some people come and go without any idea who they are. Anyway, even thought I didn't enjoyed this I thought would be fair to give some tips.
You should add a scoreboard later!
