I thought the rules were simple enough as they were, the description sort of explains everything..
This was good, but aesthetically (and for clarity sakes) I wish it had more contrast between the colors and background/foreground layers.
My grandpa's farm succumbed to the lag of wave 40 :(
Love the feel of this, kinda reminds me of old early 2000 games. Unlike others I believe the shake being limitless was a necessary thing to do considering it's a jam game. In any case the mechanic was appreciated.
Took me a while to realize that disenchanting equipment gives health. Even after that I wasn't able to progress much, managed to only clear 2 maps and only had a helmet to my name before the physics ruined me by bouncing me straight into the lava. Talking about physics, they're very inconsistent and it drags the game down. Combining that with a very strict health limit makes it very frustrating to progress.
That being said the audiovisual quality of this is superb. Rarely do I see pretty much everything done right, especially in Jam timelines, in that regard I can't really ask for anything else, this is as good as it can get for the time you had.
This is how far I got before getting eaten by a dragon Screenshot_9.png
tl;dr Very polished audio and visuals, inconsistent physics drag the gameplay down a fair bit.
This was b*itchin'. I love the vice city groove, it's sort of reminiscent of Hotline Miami. It's quite a refreshing concept so it took some time getting used to like people previously mentioned. Aesthetically it's superb, rarely do I find titles with this much pimp to it, especially in these short game jams. Congrats :D
Whoa an Unreal Tournament Rocket League mashup :O
This is very cool and could potentially go a long way. Few things: - Wish the ball was bigger, softer but lost horizontal speed a bit more to circumvent it. That way it would allow for more more aerial play to cover that huge space in the arena - Bonus pickups like speed boosts, etc. - Different weapon types could push it further
Overall an ambitious submission, wish you folks would continue pimping this one up.
It's a really cool submission and could potentially be fleshed out in the future. It's currently very simple but it has things going for it. The mining aspect pushes it a bit in that regard, and I think if you manage to make the fights more interesting it could turn out to be a really cool title.
Don't lose heart! I've read that this is your first finished game, so that's already proving you lots of things. Keep jamming dawg.
I saw the gif, I laughed. It's a nice minigame, the physics make it funny as hell. The audio is incredibly annoying at first, but it grew on me as time went by. I wish there were combos and I wish there was no charge meter to make the game more action packed. Still a very fun submission nonetheless.
It's charming but it has issues. The BGM doesn't play until you access options, so a lot of people don't even know it has one. Sometiems Sanic wus 2 fast. Cherry ghost does no damage. Chess rook tickles as well (even tickles the obnoxiously tanky queen piece). Kongs seem to be the only piece worth a damn, and their barrels sometimes can't catch Sanic, cuz he 2 fast. Once I figured out most of the pieces were useless, I found a nifty bulldoze button at the bottom. To my dismay it worked as well as the rook piece before. So I had to keep my horribly positioned goomba wall and work with what I got.
Last thing to add. It's not really following the theme, but don't be put off by it. Like someone already mentioned, it's a nice start.
This is how far I got
Call him Kek the Snek and I'm giving this max stars.
Jokes aside, From the intro screen it was apparent to me that this would be a very polished game. Aesthetically it's pleasing and consistent, the particles complement the high contrast design. The shaders did it justice, especially the lighting. The only thing that tanked in quality was the UI which is to be expected, with submissions of this quality it's easy to forget this is a Jam game.
Gameplay-wise the game is simple but kept me involved nonetheless. Everyone knows "Snake" so few things like collecting power-ups and the grid movement are very clear from the start. What pushed it was definitely the shooting part. There's not much in terms of it and I encountered a few bugs but it's actually polished to the point where it's more than enough to keep it interesting. The camera however should see improvement. I appreciated the camera locking when the mouse button was pressed, but I still found it working against me half of the time.
There's an issue where the first enemy that explodes causes a half a second freeze, likely from loading the texture data for the particles. You can remedy this by doing it off the main render texture in a loading screen so it's preloaded once it's needed. Another issue I had was the shooting would sometimes persist even though I'm not pressing the mouse button. I made sure this wasn't due to me spazztically moving the mouse out of the game's border. Max I got was 32 before getting completely outnumbered and demolished.
Thematically it's alright. Honestly I'm clueless how to rate games properly following the theme this time around. A lot of submissions seem to be of games that don't really change in genre but on the other hand are a mashup of different games. So in that regard I'd say it's pretty well thought out.
Audio is sparse, if a bit lacking, but it's never crossing the line of being annoying. For a jam game that's a huge success in on itself.
tl;dr this is a very fleshed out submission, very polished and cohesive in what it's trying to be from start to finish.
Holy hell. I honestly never wished there was more of something this simple. Honestly think if you did this thing episodically and with certain consistency it could turn into something great!
This was great albeit a bit easy. Ramping up the difficulty would be nice. Audio would definitely do this justice, as someone else has likely pointed out already.
This was aesthetically VERY pleasing! Love what you did with the atmosphere. It was a bit all around the place gameplay-wise though.
I feel like it's just two different games mashed up to fit the theme. Also for better or worse I can't understand what most of the monster sprites are trying to represent.
5/5 mastapeece
Really well thought out my dude.
There's so much stuff in here it's hard to give it a proper review D:
Concept was nicely executed, but I felt the graphics weren't unified and the game sort of just played itself, mostly in a trial and error fashion.
Came for the llama, stayed for the voxels! :D
I found it very tricky to rotate, other than that it was flawless :D
The gameplay was cool, reminiscent to DX ball DOS era arkanoids with a twist. I played and enjoyed it quite a bit, but I just wish the graphics were better.
I had a blast playing your game on stream. It was fun, it was fast, it was thematically unified. One thing that was off was the bgm track, which was too slow (if I remember the bass was very repetitive as well). Gameplay was great, I liked the original take on the field slowly regenerating as time went by, but in the end my enjoyment was dismayed by the ridiculously high difficulty curve, almost from the very start.
Kept me occupied enough to play through it, but nothing spectacular. The message is strong, but where's the game? :P
Very retro feeling, reminiscent of the snes era. Had a blast :D
Fun game, maybe sometimes too chaotic with the number of things on the screen, but overall very decent. Loved the humor, although maybe a bit corny at times. The graphics were okay, they served the purpose, but nothing too great in audio-visual department. Very nice indeed.
Neat idea, but the colors are destroying my eyes x)
Steep difficulty curve, otherwise a very polished experience. 5/5
Awesome! The dot interpolation was a cool aesthetic. The game has no sound whatsoever which is a bummer, gameplay is good but I'm always taken from the action when it starts getting good, and the goal screen is lasting too long. I don't like the constant menu pauses, if there was some sound I guess that would've been more bearable. Overall, I had so much fun from it but it has it's own downfalls and shortcomings.
I agree with a previous poster, the saturation and contrast from the visuals didn't really fit the game thematically, after reading the synopsis I was expecting something much grimmer and dustier. The audio department was fitting in nicely, but overall I was expecting more from the tension you tried to build since the game is very short.
I didn't expect to play it for how long I did, considering it doesn't offer much in the audiovisual department. But I'm glad I checked it out, 'cause I'm still playing it! I loved the details and the vibe (the line "n of your members are sitting on their asses"), humor was on point. Well done!
Kind of defeats the purpose of the "small world" theme when it's a game situated in the universe. The game is good but I don't see how it fits into the theme we got this time. It's very unfortunate because if this was anything else it would be one of the better games I played during this voting period.
A bit plain, but I guess that's how space games tend to be in LD. I wish this was thematically something else, anything but space because it kinda defeats the purpose of the "small world" theme.
Good but difficult, my team member had a lot more patience than me while playing it. We love it but we have a feeling you got too used to the mechanics and were tailoring the game to your gameplay, so by the time it was about to be released you were pro at it and didn't notice how hard it would be for others. We would love to see something like this getting a post-jam version.
Feels new and innovative, the zoom out is really cool but becomes tedious after a while.
Loved it :D
I love it, but feels a bit empty at times. Could've used more graphical elements, especially since you sort of tease us with the existing pixel art being so smooth.
Easily one of the better submissions I've rated so far. Very polished, excellent production value, I dig the video! :D
Very atmospheric and creepy, I especially liked the feeling when the wise man tells the player how he never tried pushing someone to "the edge" while slowly creeping behind. The end is also very cool, but don't want to spoil it, props on this submission!
Had fun with it, although the art was hard to look at at first. You're using a cool approach to drawing the decals which I can appreciate even though the graphics are mediocre.
First impression - the loud and random noises made me close it in panic <.<
I liked the movement, maybe it was a bit too slow for my taste, but the platforming was nicely implemented overall. Walljump being so limited is maybe not feeling good, but I can see why it's a necessity.
The autotiling and tile shifts were really cool, the way it progressively changes is very satisfying to see.
Overall the game was good but it became boring pretty quickly. Maybe if the movement was fast-paced it would alleviate from the problem.
Fun stuff, but yet another "space" take on the theme. The graphics are overly saturated, but it works in adding visibility in this case. Gameplay could use some tweaking, but for what it is I'd say it's the game's strongest point. Weak audio feedback, like someone already mentioned, but overall I was very happy with it.
This was too much hahaha, had fun with it but quickly became annoying. It served its purpose for what it tries to be. I'm usually more critical towards "Space" or "Planet" games but I looked the other way in this case.
How does this suit the theme at all? You've done the opposite, it just sucks to see all these space games on every LD just because people lack imagination.
meh
Holy pixel art :O
I feel bad for giving up, but the level 2 was a little bit too much
I r winnar
Awesome :D
The ui reminds me of Final Fantasy V
Absolutely amazing meshing pixel art :O
Very immersive, excellent job!
Very cool idea, pixel art was juicy :D
Cool pixel art, wish it took more hits before dying.
Unique and creative. Wish more attention was spent on the graphics section :P
Very nice submission, but glitchy all around. I played the version before you updated, you should keep the original around in the links by the rules :)
Really good, wish the later levels were shorter. Awesome submission.
Cool concept, button hitboxes are waaay off which made this obnoxious to play.
Liked the stealth mechanics, although a few levels felt arbitrary and too much of a trial and error - most glaringly the one where the skeleton needs to clear your path.
After letting this game run in the background for 2 hours, I accumulated 150k points
good game
Horrible application of the theme.
Very funny, well made overall, I just wish it wasn't so painful to knock off all the items.
Very cool, reminds me of Pocky and Rocky co-op game on SNES. A bit too hard at the beginning, hitboxes could've been a bit more forgiving.
Nice game with great style, a bit more direction would've been appreciated, especially in early stages of the game.
Bit too hard to grasp, nice application of the theme.
Starts confusing, when you finally grasp your objective properly you die and can't restart without re-opening the game.
Very unique concept, fine-tuning would make this game great! One of my favorite submissions so far.
Cool concept, it runs a bit sluggish at times though.
Moze to i bolje :P
Pretty good except for Understale elements :P
Good programmering
Great pixel art, I wish there was more to the zombie gameplay, at the moment it's like every rhythm game but with one key only. Well presented though!
It was cool, storytelling was good and it kept me interested in the story so I got all 3 endings. The UI was great and the story was ok, I just wish there was more to it.
Nice presentation overall.
Creative :D
Nice entry. The ragdolls are messed up but I appreciate the effort. I wish the game difficulty was better balanced, as soon as you beat one of the big dudes the game starts spawning 4 normal ones each wave. Overall it kept me busy for half an hour total, good job!
Was really soothing. Really cool concept but no real gameplay besides being a sim. The game is aesthetically pleasing, but I wish the leaves didn't grow instantly.
I liked it. Narrative was fine, I wish the teleporter transition wasn't instant.
Creative way to follow the theme.
Great overall presentation, I dig the voxels :D
This is similar to what my partner and I were discussing about making. Glad to see you did it justice.
This gave me creeps, well made D:
Stylish pixel art :D
Very atmospheric!
Unique
Cool game, nice finishing touch. Got to 125.
Bit confusing at start. Gets better after a few minutes, well done.
Nice presentation, wish there was more to it though.
Great overall presentation. The graphics were amazing and the puzzles were on point, although I wish the game was more balanced towards the puzzle aspect rather than being fast paced. Combining the two leads to a lot of trial and error gameplay.
Rip headphone users.
I noticed that for some reason I can't die?
Polished and fun, a bit too hard tho
Nice rhythm game. The graphics were just derivative works from other games, so you should really note this in the "Features" part. The music is amazing, but it's questionable to me if it was really made during the 48h period, just because it's so damn good :D
A bit too imbalanced gameplay values. Ships start spawning a bit too much and the damage received from them is too marginal for a mistake to really feel as one. It's not satisfying enough to level up and wreck ships like I hoped, but it's decent.
Bit too clunky on the technical side, the controls are clunky on the keyboard but it shows promise!
I wish there was more. The throwing game was nice, but I wish the sign that told you to hold space would've shown earlier. Well done!
Pretty simple, I like the premise.
I liked playing as the "peaceful mosnter" :P
Controls are a bit shaky, other than that quite an entry! :D
The dialogue and the low movement speed got the best of me. I didn't stick for long, but I appreciate the pixel art.
Very nice, the devil sprite looks like the devil from south park x)
Started to become very difficult after a while but I enjoyed it for 10 minutes or so.
Very well put together, 5 in mood :D
The main character's face makes me giggle like a schoolgirl x)
Too crazy, I like it D:
Bit hard for the eyes o.o
Fun after 2 minutes of being really annoyed and clueless.
The physics are amazing, even though it's just unity physics I loved how you put it together. Wish the monster had more power to be destructive, whole game I could only eat the divers which was kind of annoying.
Really well made but the potential was a bit misplaced, wish the monster was more powerful.
Very cool, I was hoping there would be more stealth games since I opted for one myself D:
Veeeeery creative, I enjoyed it, especially the humor and the general idea behind the theme. Awesome entry :D
Very nice choice of palette for the pixel art :)
Very simple and fun, overall a pretty good entry, well done!
This is very neat! Cool to know people make stuff like this for older platforms :D
I'd say innovative but there are already many games that rely on this mechanic. Aside of that it's well done for the limited amount of time.
The menu buttons hurt my eyes. Aside of that I enjoyed the mechanics.
IMO you could've brainstormed up a better idea to go with a theme. There's really too many space games every LD just because people don't even try to innovate.
A bit poorly done, usually I appreciate the programmer graphics but this is just rushed to the very end x)
The gibberish english! Humor +10!!
More gameplay aside of just simple movement is very necessary to keep this fun.
The wolf sprite is very funny, especially when facing the perspective camera x)
Breath of fresh air in seas of topdowns and platformers this time around :D
Lacks in the gameplay department.
Nice tribute game :D
Unfinished and a bit lacking in all departments. I see you worked on the mechanics much and it's sad you didn't have enough time to polish this up :/
Playing this with better graphics would be satisfying :D
A bit dull, but nice try, I'm glad to hear you learned a lot on the way :)
I'm glad our game wasn't the only stealth game in the submissions!
Looks really cool, I dig the idea, as someone else mentioned the UI could definitely see improvement, other than that and a little bit sketchy graphics this is a very well rounded submission :)
Well done, good game about a good show ;)
The art is just ugh, mixing great pixel art with programmer graphics like that makes me cry. Aside of that I liked the simple mechanics.
Cool enough for the time you had considering you switched the game.
The enemies just bummed my castle day 1 even after the hypnosis D:
that redneck voice *chuckles*
humor would definitely be it's strong point, the dynamic control index at the beginning of the game is just not convenient.
Interesting take on the theme featuring simple but fitting graphics.
Effects made this very pleasing :)
Strong art game, very sick for the limited timeframe! o.o
Very polished for the short development timeframe!
This felt sooo nostalgic, it's amazing! Played the game with my sister, high grades all around from the both of us! :D
Bit plain since you can't die, kills the challenge part of the game. Pathfinding and mechanics were ok.
This had a dungeons and dragons feel to it, especially the d20 hitting randomness.
I watched the youtube video at 200% speed just to follow the narrative. I did like the narrative but failed to see the challenge in this game. It was hanging on the monitor on the left and when I did take a glance the narrative was fine but nothing was really going on. The perverted things in the books are worth it tho, high humor rating from me.
Kinda lackish, I liked the programmer graphics in this one :D
Bit laggy but bearable enough 'cause od craziness :D
Rawr >:3
That light going through walls is not appreciated =P
I know how it feels when you playtest your LD game, get very good at it in process, publish, and then get battered by the "It's too damn hard" feedback :P
Too clunky and doesn't focus on gameplay properly. Incoherent art style hurts my eyes.
Challenging and well made all-round.
Looks and feels awesome, there's not much gameplay but the great tune and cool graphics left me playing for around 15 minutes just searching around. Well made. I would've rated audio highly, but for some reason you disabled it D:
Waiting time is worth it, it's very interesting :)
Quite cool, cool play on the monster theme with the energy drink.
Athmospheric and cool, but is hard even early in the level.
Played until bugged out, then lost interest.
Well made, glitchy jump motion was also very neat in the end. The hits that lower the health need to be much more visible. How did the monster acquire arms before the sword?
Props on making me realize what a monster I am :<
Glitchy, needs a proper tutorial I think D:
The monster model made me chuckle tho :D
I wanted to test it and give feedback, but I was stuck on the menu screen with nothing to do. Also your upload seems a bit wonky as you need to put the Monster_Run.exe outside its folder for it to work properly.
Played this a bit with my sister, she liked it but I wasn't satisfied. The dungeon master is a bit overpowered like you said haha. Even for a Jam I'd go against the asset store, it's a cool project but goes nowhere near what can be accomplished in 72 hours.
Amazing development value, if it wasn't a space game the theme rating would be much higher from my point of view.
Very well made, got to wave 11 before finally giving up.
Very nice, everything is smooth except for the main movement engine, which is a pretty big deal. You get stuck in walls a bit too often when running from the lady.
Not much to do, but impressive development values!
Controls a bit sketchy.
Too much content to give a proper grade. It features cool gameplay, but alient or space games tend to overoccupy every LD theme..
Cool concept, I got to a million before closing the tab. I usually dislike when people create space games for every LD theme, but this was an exception that was really fun for a while.
Holy crap this is polished! The motion and feel is perfect for a detective game. If it followed the theme better this would get straight 5s all across the board from me :)
Looks great, but I guess it's mostly due to builtin Unity shaders. The gameplay was good, however it's in need of a proper tutorial or readme for people to fully enjoy :)
It's cool, the physics of the boxes were nice. I just wish there was more to it. The concept is very funne too =)
In need of a tutorial. The fight against color is unique =)
Proper ragdolls would've made this game really really fun! I scored 650 :)
Very funny and enjoyable, even thought it's a bit simple on the gameplay.
Very good for the ratings, I've played through the whole thing even though it looks much more suited for the female public. The part where you mentioned the club was "bitchin'" got a kick out of me :)
A simple puzzle, not much innovation but very good development value!
The mechanics felt nice, it's a simple game but it was well made nonetheless. High grades in the audio and humor department!
Amazing ride!
Completed on unfair mode. A really good ride, although a bit too short. One of the best games of the jam.
17 people already voted while the game is not even playable...
Beautiful art!
True that. Don't expect too much feedback :/
Yep, link broken...
Pretty good, doesn't have any major cons.
A bit glitchy, but interesting idea.
Loved the mechanics! Puzzles were a bit based on trial and error, but it didn't hurt the gameplay. Really fun jam game :)
Really cool :D
I enjoyed this one so much! Thanks based pixel gods.
Wow. I enjoyed this so much. Best submission I played yet! The bike riding and combat was ridiculously fun, you really made this challenging and fun to the max :D
Yeah those bears are creepy as hell. Overall pretty nice and fun for a while. Beat the big bear boss before closing.
Very cool, polished gameplay. Feels pretty complete!
Quite good and fun overall, it blends really nicely.
Really great piece! I love the rpg feel, graphics and audio blend really well. However the game suffers from having no checkpoints. Definitely one of the better submissions.
This is good and polished. It shows that you're well rounded as a duo. I would rate it even higher but there's an abundance of space games already flying around.
It's new and innovative. Love both the music and art.
Good but spent most time on randomly roaming spamming spacebar. There is a bug where you jump outside of the level
http://i.imgur.com/ioySsnQ.png
Good conceptual material, enemies or hazards would help.
Looks great but becomes quite repetitive.
The theme was missed, however I'm glad I played this!
Cool concept. It loaded for me perfectly in under 3 seconds. It's also pretty fun but since so many people opted for space games I'll deduct some theme points.
Got to 40,000ish and died. Fun, but when a player dies you should show the score.
Really cool! I especially like the RPG setting :D
I love the tune, the game is cool but the controls are a bit sketchy.
Good concept, however there's not much to do that really affects the gameplay.
I claimed revenge. Fun little platformer :D
Cool entry overall.
Very neat concept. The characters don't interact a lot, you basically complete every character's own set of puzzles in a level.
Cool concept, however it's 21mB in size D:
Getting a "not commonly downloaded and could be dangerous" on chrome. It's a false positive, the game works fine.
Good but expected take on the theme. Voxels are nice, everything runs smooth. Enemies take too long to be killed though.
"In the end, Potato came to a realization..."
Good puzzle, good mood, well made :D
The start got me a bit psyched just to find out it's more of an application than a game. Well made, the intro was nailed too.
Felt like movement and collisions were bugged. Good idea though.
Nice and colorful. I wish there was something that "threatened" the number of bodies acquired, like a dark hole kind a thing. Would work for some trippy colorful game.
Good concept and prototype, but nothing more. I liked the charge sound, disliked the fact that birds once they start chasing you are impossible to evade. Could be nice with more gameplay mechanics that involve actual skill.

All hail Grishnek, took him to wave 10. One of my fav submissions yet.
Robo Climb by zubspace 2024-04-17T01:03:14Z ♥ 2
Love the physics although I lose my mind playing games like these. Doesn't adhere to the theme at all though.

Wish there was more to it but the overall production value is already pretty high for a compo submission. Awesome stuff.

I appreciate these puzzle games, a two day jam doesn't do the gameplay justice, time constraints are just too much and cool puzzle configurations are tough to create. Well done!
