My favorite game for the moment ! I love the story, mechanism..... good job !!
Thank you for all your comments :)
And we take note of your advices because most of them are the same. And It's important to progress.
We didn't think our game was going to be successful like this. Thank you all, we really appreciated it.
The game is very nice. The generated level too. :)
Good job ! I have the same opinion as @benjamintausen and @jasonsumm1.
The game is interesting but confusing. I like graphism, ambiance and sound design. And the concept is original.
Good idear ! I found the game is very nice and complete. I take a real pleasure to play with :)
The game is very interesting. The tutorial is a good idear and the ambiance is nice. I like the asset :) Good job.
But I found the side effect of the virus very hard. ^^ The first level, second side effect : move key rotatation = it's was all most impossible to win (for me I am not a true gamer... so...).
However, I like the game and I will train me to win ! :)
The game is very nice !! I like the mechanic. It's not easy or I am noob x) But I like this kind of difficulties.
It's exactly what I love for story telling and ambiance :) The music is great and the artwork awesome !! The tale is about the surviving of a dragon or the hero so it's in the theme. I found it very hard... you probably need some luck and now every dialogue outcome but... It's not a problem to try and try again :)
The mood and the story is very nice.
Interesting concept,a lot of work... good job :)
Thank you for your comment :) @aquanim : Yes, the scary face is a choice of @Anubis
@tino Thank you very much for your comment :) We are happy that you like the game.
@toocio94 Thank you for your advice. I understand what you mean. But it's not easy to balance a game :) We think (too late) that we can add a minimap for exemple :)
The game is very nice. 1. The concept very cool and it's respect the theme ! 2. They are a lot of level and they are interesting.
I found the game a little hard to understand. But it's a normal problem for a Jam (and I am not a good gamer). It's very hard to balance the game and the cheat 'n' key is usefull to explore your game :) I take pleasure to try again and again. This is the most import thing for a video game. Congrats
The game is very nice in different category : * The concept and introduction are nice and funny. * The interpreation of the theme is nice. I like this simple but efficient "puzzle" game. * The artworks and animations are very good. * The music fits perfectly the ambiance.
All in all, it gives a feeling of a well finished, complete and polished game.
I take fun to play. Congratulations ! :)
Hello, Thank you for you game :)
I give some advice for the next jam, because I hope you make an other proposal the next Jam :) 1. Make a delevery polish. That means, try the delevery package on your computer to test if it's possible to run the game. Use more standard archive. Rar is good, and here they are a lot of people we know what is it. But I think zip is more standard. It can be natively open in different OS. And give a name of the archive that is not "new WinRar archive" xD Give the name of your game for exemple. Why do that : it's easy and give a better impression when we test your game. 2. In term of playability: we can't quit the game ? And the physic to control is not a bad idea but it need to be constrain (@vollfeiw already explain it :) )... And a retry boutton will be very useful :) 3. When you present your game in the Ludum Dare website, put pictures of your game and more detailed descriptions.
However, create video game is not easy and needs experience. So nice try, and continue ! Check Unity tutoriels to improve your skills :)
Très bon concept de jeu. C'est aussi un jeu ambicieux pour une jam mais j'ai pris du plaisir à essayer de descendre le plus bas possible comme en témoigne l'image.
Globalement, l'ambiance du jeu est géniale. Le farming intéressant :) J'ai vu plus haut que vous auriez aimé ajouter un boss et moyen de monter plus "vite". C'est une bonne idée pour ajouter de la durée vie. Car une fois tous les updgrades terminés, le jeu perd un peu de saveur :)
Il y a deux trois petits bugs qui ne gachent pas le jeu. Comme plusieurs fois j'ai réussi à passer en dehors de la map ou au départ à passer sous le sol. Mais bon, on peut rectifier donc ce n'est pas génant.
Un bug plus génant que parfois je ne pouvais plus faire le retour (jetpack) :)
Bref bravo à vous.

PS: @arista pour la musique, je suis mitigé. L'électro est très bon. J'adore le passage avec la guitare au air espagnol. Des moments, dans le jeu, ça donnait une impression de "puissance". Ce qui était sympa avec l'upgrade impact. Cependant parfois le côté très électro dénote un peu. Aurais-tu un lien pour écouter d'autres de tes compositions ?
Thank you all for you comments :)
@ubershmekel : You true, it's hard to keep focus on counting and play against mobs :) But more you try more you become better. If you play with two player or more it could be easier. @skoopidy : thank you. Particules and glowing objects can make more difficult to see some time. It's why I advice player to anticipate observations and make kill in the right moment :)
@adil: You probably publish your message to quickly :)
@keppu : Thanx you for your detail comments. We take note of your advice :) @all : We are happy to see you enjoy our game :) We make it in the meaning to do a polish game. If you have the possibility to play with a friend, brother/sister... by using a controller, I advice you to try it. It's add more fun. ;)
Thank you for all your comments. We are gratified that you appreciate our game.
We take note of your advices for improvements.
Sample but terribly efficiant.
You are right to make a score... We want to be the more in dept player !! x)
So good job :)
It's a very good game ! I take a real pleasure to play. I found ambiance of old game. It's a return to childhood :)
The music serve the game, the graphism is nice. And I found maps very interesting to explore, to find hidden artefact.
I play with the web player and It's works for me.
Congratulation !! :)
Hello,
Very efficiant game. I take time to play with and try go deeper ! :) Random picker are *"Darker"* and *"Life"* ? I know compo is hard but if you want improve your game, you can add other effects :)
Because, I prefer to not take *random picker*, because Darkness is very hard and random.
It's a very nice game. Good job !
You make this game alone, it's a very nice work. The concept is nice with the upgrading system. I like graphism is yours ?
For an improvement, you could work on a more polish controls.
Hello,
Good jobs ! I like the game concept and I feel a little emotion to explore this sand planet. The music is perfect for the ambiance, the graphism put you in game athmosphere.
It's not an easy game (or I am a bad player :p) but after few trying we understand game mechanics and I like challenge :)
I used the web version and I have a little problem with mouse. Sometimes because my mouse gone out of the screen when my mouse go back on it, the camera was rotate so I see the side of the ship. After some movement of the mouse, the camera come back in the right position. Code controles is not easy. But if they are something to improve, it will be that.
The game is very nice. He is polish and love the concept, the music, the graphism.
And I think, it's an orignal game mechanic.
Congrats !
I love so much your proposition of puzzle game !! I was very first degree when I tested x) The game mechanic is very interesting and I could pay for the same game but with more level and some improvment.
For a jam the game is polish. But if you plan to improve your game, you need to rethink some levels :)
Good job.
I take pleasure to play with your game. The controls are really playable and after few try, I feel confortable with controls and physics.
They are some some level which are well design. The old-school graphism are just perfect. Just one advice for improvement: The level design could be better. I know it's hard to create challenging and interesting levels in a few time. But I had succed some levels just by dodge ennemis and sacrify just enough lifes. So I finish the game quickly. But even that, I take pleasure and my advice is just about a small ajustment. It's still a good game for me :)
Hello,
Congrats, you game is nice. I like the concept and the ambiance. The music is very nice (thanks Vlad :p). The gameplay is great and the lowpoly graphism perfect.
I think the game needs to be more polish. If you do, it could be a very good in my opinion.
Wow... The game is very nice. The game mechanics make you want to play again and again. The graphics are clean. There are two or three small graphical bugs that are rare and do not spoil the game. Congratulations to you!
Make a game alone in 24h is a big challenge. Your proposition is very interesting.
I'am sad for the baby and parents... ;(
The story is very short and we want to have more game play but I understand that is hard to do in compo.
Graphism are very nice and the concept is cool :) So I hope to see you again next jam.
Fun little game :)
Graphism are very nice and it's nice to take to put a little story behind.
I found a cheat but if you don't use the cheat, the game is not easy and it's become harder and harder. It requires cordination :D So good job.
But I found a cheat... If I spam all arrows key, I am sure to win ^^ But it's a minor problem, I give it just for information.
This cool idear. I like puzzle game and you create one very interesting. It's hard, very hard, we have a few battery and when we dy, we get a little battery charge... but challenging game is interestant too.
Graphism and audio are cool too. I like the intro :)
Good job !
The concept, the graphism and music are very good. I think this game is a true potential. But I agree with some comment. Zero feedback make the game frustrating. I tried meany combination without to know if it's interesting or not... At this end, I took random actions... and preyed that it's help defeating old god.
So my question is, how the player is supposes to find a strategy? Without informations except the visual of god and name of actions... it's hard.
Must we know the old gold lore to find a way to defeat them?
I think your concept of "lack of informations" is nice idea but it's need to be more mature.
For example, you could add a description of the monsters to give hints? Like escape game? Or add an information of the life monster?
Nevertheless, the game gives a very good feeling to play an epic scene. Good job :)
This game don't look like a Jam game ^^ Everything is polish :) So good job !! I like the theme, the concept, the sounds and graphismes.
Very good job ! :)
I really like your game. The athmosphere is very interesting and well done.
The concept to know your position by using dynamic light is a good idear, that add more challenge :)
I hope you will have 20 rating ! You deserve it :)
I like your game. It is very polish :)
The system of upgrade is very useful :) Controls is nice and I like graphism and sound design. It's adictive. But the death is very punishing for the effort :p When you must restart from scratch your sad. However, I like challenge... so I retried !
So great job :)
Sometimes the procedural generation make level with a plateform that block the way to down. But it's doesn't break the game. We can at the surface, buy new upgrade or nothing and go down again :)
Great game with humour :) The audio is very good.
I love the concept even if it's a strange game.
PS: Can we dy in this game ? ^^
The game is very interesting :) The story is cool :) It's polish and I really take pleasure to play.
Congrats :)
Good job.
I play a long time on your game :)
They are some minor bug. But it's normal for a game with this ambition :)
I found the game mechanic very interesting :)
Hello :) Good job. I really like the concept and it's a nice implemantion of your idear, specially when you are alone. And it's addictive.
The graphisme serve the game.
So, I really appreciate to test your proposition :)Congrats.
Good job. Make a game alone is not easy. :)
Good idea ! I like the concept even if it's dark ;p
If they are something to improve, it could be the balance of the game :) I found it easy. Because I just stack power up to red sword and after that I kill every thing quickly.
But it's a good entry, happy to test it.
Hello,
It's not easy to do a game. And for a first compo, it's nice. Compo is very hard :)
Good points: - The control of the player is interesting to solve the game (with the long distance when you up dans the short distance when you use left/right keys), - You finish the game and it's very playable - You do the music ? - Art is correct
One improvement: - Make a more smooth controls :)
Congrats and welcom to Jam :)
