Fiendishly complicated and elaborate, I'm impressed. Very much a complete rogue-like. The combat was a little bit crazy from the start, I would have rather fought with each type of unit on its own before seeing the whole lot. My main gripe is the amounts of booze though. Great that it's metric, but an average swimming pool has less than 10 m3. I prefer to consume my alcohol in litres :)
I like the artwork. At no point could I actually move with WASD, guess it's more about talking to people anyway though. So I gathered I was supposed to give them what their affinity is, before they run out of patience. Couldn't understand what I lose by giving them say, gold, my inventory was always still at one.
Anyway I like the idea of negotiation as an unconventional weapon. I think this would play a lot better if more time available and bugs tidied up. Does something happen at the end?
Foofanoo is now a friend of you.
Is this a common variant of bingo or did you make it up? Either way I'm impressed, nice implementation or nice idea. It has the whole 'wait for your number to come up' luck, but still gives you some strategy options. Actually very fun. Pretty graphics too.
Any reason why it had to be z instead of space or something? I couldn't see the bottom bit with the instructions so spend ages trying to figure out how to press select.
Slickly tuned and playable. Good to have lots of levels, worth the playtesting to make sure.
It is amazing how much the Super Meat Boy 'feel' came out. But this is fine, there were games much like this before SMB anyway. To me the innovation of SMB was the 'watch all your deaths' thing at the end of each level.
Yep, very solid game.
Didn't play with a friend but i liked the idea. Nice sound and graphics and actually pretty fun. I thought that too many colours kept coming up when i got one wrong, took ages to clear after making a mistake.
I must say, the claim 'you are scientists' didn't come through, its about shooting bad guys.
Nice graphics and good that there were lots of levels. I found it a bit confusing at first, not clear whether i was using a item or not. The random sound didn't help, wasn't sure whether something was working or not.
Great to see another flavour of game. This is certainly a challenging genre to do in a jam and especially hard for people to get.
I liked working against a fickle market and trying things to see if they help, very fitting to the stock markets theme.
I didn't understand for a while that you have to click to buy or sell the surplus stock. They don't look like buttons. Also, you should have each slider 'above' its button to make logical top to bottom workflow: adjust slider and click to sell/buy. I also wish they didn't reset to 1 after each transaction.
A bit weird having the ability to change the outputs of each button all the way up to spending all your money in one turn. This made the production sliders always move on their own as their upper limits increased.
I don't think it was at all lacking in tutorial and pretty easy to understand what to do. There wasn't much you could have taken out to improve simplicity. It could greatly benefit from a bit of interface fixing-up. Anyway, solid effort.
OMG I only just got the 'two buttons' theme use. Classic.
Wonderful. I love a man with a long torso.
It's games like this that make me keep doing LD. Nice job.
Very playable. I could see everything on screen and it seemed to respond fine. Wasn't sure what to do with the green arrow. Would have liked a small break when i managed to kill each guy.
Very nice looking game and the physics felt realistic. The sound started to grate though.
Very nice artwork. Hope that something happens if you leave the game running for 1 and a half hours.
This was very fun and I genuinely played more than half and hour.
some genuine 'metagame' stories at play here:
my airport got destroyed by an alien one turn before I discovered oil and was able to build an oilwell to supply my airport with oil to launch a tacjet to kill the alien.
wasn't sure about networks halving maintenance costs, is this buildings that use copper/oil etc and does it change what the building says it's using?
+ unhappiness - happiness?
The bouncing bomb was cute. Sometimes my cannonball didn't come out for a little while. I didn't understand the colours until you said below, but is that needed? Can't you tell you've got it right because you hit?
I felt that the mini games used only one button.
Brutal, i liked the flow when i was bouncing and smashing but heavy penalty of time for dying. I wish i had a few health bars or something instead of one hit death. Music and studio groans were good.
Really cool and new idea. It felt too slow at first, but you can actually decide which guy to move more easily to checkmate the guards. I love that there was a story/intro and i actually laughed.
Confession: I didn't get very far.
Like the idea. The second world first level is much too hard, i tried for ages and only made the first jump/switch once.
I don't think this boss is hard enough. I noticed there were several small areas on the screen that didn't have bullets in them.
