Very lovely game. I haven't worked with Java, but i still think that it would have been nice of you to make a short description of how to start your game.. This is one of the best games i have tried during this Ludum Dare.. Good Work!! Oh yeah, music absolutely beautiful.
Absolutely lovely game. Very nice graphics, but no sound? Well, you were probably busy with other thing. The game felt slow though, but on it also game the game another feel. Controls with WASD is fine, but i would love to be able to steer with arrow keys, as i normally play platformers with my right hand. The levels are nicely crafted and each one gives a fair bit of challenge (especially when you want the coin). I had much fun playing those 5 levels, and would like to play more (if you made them). Also the menu is very nice, with appealing colors.
Good work with the theme, i like that. But the sounds of the spaceship shooting, is just so high and frequent that it becomes irritating. Another, less "i'm an old tv, but ten times faster" sound would have been much better. Also music very nice, when you can hear it. Maybe it's just me, but the spaceship doesn't really fit the graphics style here. But overall, nice game!
Music is well done, also the mechanics are simple, which i like (doesn't make you read the manual). It is very polished, which is nice, but i find it a little bit too simple. A mechanic that lets you remove blocks could be very nice.. But the game is still very fun, and i enjoyed playing it. It seems as the blocks get placed randomly, i think there would have been more depth to the style of gameplay if they were added i a kind of pattern or according to some rules (for example adding a block to the place where the player stands). But overall very good game, and well polished!
A little confusing in the start, but overall very nice game with good innovation.
Very nice graphics and sound, (+ innovation is good too). But the controls were in my opinion a little lame.
Very lovely graphics. The gameplay features also are very nice. I really enjoyed playing this game!
Very nice game, but maybe the days are a little too long, and very big destiance between the first stamp and the place where the papers land.
The game froze while i was playing it..
Really like the innovation, but the sounds are not the best..
A tutorial part in the start would have been very nice, i got stuck before figuring it out.
@rosden Thank you for the feedback! This is my first ever game jam, and my first ever finished game. I am thankful for your feedback and understand that the game isn't challenging enough for some. If i had more time, then i would have added more and harder levels with better variety. Thanks again for your feedback :).
Very nice music! Also the innovation is good. But the game is very confusing, maybe a short description, of how you should watch the resources and which building you need to place first? I still can't figure out how to place a generator, i have enough money and resources so it isn't that...
Interesting game! I like the idea of managing these tasks and clicking on the very-fast-running managers dressed as strawberries! The gameplay is simple, and easy to understand, and its great to see that there is visual and audial feedback in terms of when and what you click.
Solid game. I like the match-4 style, and the simplicity of having only 2 colors to worry about. The game is easy to understand and the controls are intuitive. A point for improvement would be to add animation when rotating the tiles, other than that, its a very well done game!
Cool tower defense. The controls are easy, the game feels responsive thanks to visuals and sound effects. However, it is very frustrating that your towers get destroyed, and the tractor beam mode is very very slow, making the game very difficult.
"Oh crab" what can i say xD. This is a great game, and i enjoyed playing it. Took me a bit to realise i could look around with my mouse. The game feels smooth to play, and the audio is spot on with the crabby sounds and main theme.
Interesting game! Some of the colors are hard to distinguish on the beads and beacons below (maybe add some outline, or unique shape that matches with color). Also 5 orbs is a bit difficult to manage with one hand, but that might have been the intention.
Great game! Really puts you in the mood, and the typing-warrior mechanic feels unique and refreshing. The controls feel bad and very unintuitive. I tried using WASD and Shift, but that didn't work. Could only get Shift + QZSD to work, and that puts my left hand in a really awkward position, and makes it difficult to control.
Really great idea, and lots of humour (whose farts did you record? :P). The graphics are nice, and the gameplay is simple and intuitive. However, i never understood how to get more money to buy ingredients, and how get the things you pick up in space (i picked up many normal and alien ingredients, but they never appeared when i was cooking meals).
@pvg I'm glad you enjoyed it! We used libGDX as our game development framework, with gradle as the build management tool (standard for libGDX). The assets were created as vector graphics in Inkscape by my partner in Inkscape, and the music and sound effects were created by him as well.
The game uses Box2D physics engine at the core, by defining Earth as a centered Staticbody and each satellite as a Dynamicbody. Our game then manually computes the gravitational pull vector and applies to each satellite at each time step to simulate the gravitational pull in an orbit.
The most time consuming part was modifying the initial impulse when launching the satellites, as well as an initial 1 second thrust applied to them, based on the launch angle, such that most launch angles place the satellites in an orbit, as the game would otherwise be way too difficult.
@ubershmekel Thanks for trying out our game! It is intential that satellites eventually crash into the earth. Some launch angles don't provide the right trajectory. We wanted most launch angles (all if possible) to place the satellites in some orbit, making it very difficult to properly balance initial impulse and further thrust, which is why they end up towards the bottom of the screen when launched at app. 45 degrees.
@venfola Thanks for trying out our game!
Yes, the cannon has a slight random offset when launching, making it difficult to launch two satellites in exactly the same orbit.
The music unfortunately stops working after a few moments in the html5 version, which is a bug, but it works correctly in the desktop version.
Great audio and graphics! Really sets the mood and made me feel like i'm traveling through space. The game could really use a help screen or a short description, as the controls are a bit confusing. I understood that M opens the map, and i eventually understood that T allows me to move to another node on the map, but i still have no idea what D, X, E, Q or S do.. I realized i could only press S when there is no planet on my screen, and D toggles the planet on and off, but other than that i didn't understand anything. Also the game ended at some point, after i pressed S enough times, and the number in the bottom right corner went to 10. I really like the concept, and i think the audio and graphics are really well executed, but the game is very confusing.
It's cool to see people using less popular frameworks like SFML. But.. no linux compile? :'(
Amazing game! The audio and graphics are on point, and they really help set the mood for the game. The reversing of audio when in reverse-time mode is great attention to detail, and the idea for the game is very cool. I really enjoyed playing this. Only thing i'd say, is: some levels might be a bit too difficult. I completed level 8 by carefully timing my jump such that none fell, and completing the level in 2 jumps without using time reversal. But i couldn't figure out level 9.
Cool style! I enjoyed the top-down action and the teleporting is cool. Maybe reduce the shoot and teleport delays a bittle, as right now, once you've teleported in you will end up taking a few hits until you can teleport again or kill the enemy.
Interesting gam with a cool concept. I like the punching sounds, and the background music is cute. Howeever, it might be a bit difficult to understand. I didn't understand what WASD does, as i didn't see any effect on the screen when i pressed them. Maybe add an option so skip the dialogue, so that you dont have to read it again everytime you restart.
Interesting game! I really enjoyed the concept. Its really refreshing to sometimes use weird, but still manageable controls. The game seems a bit brutal in terms of enemies, they deal a lot of damage, whilst your gun has a very very long cooldown and doesnt always kill in one shot making it very difficult to survive for longer than 30 seconds.
Great game! The graphics are cute, and the sound effects are satisfying. It feels really good when you pop a whole screen of gems!
Great concept! I like the 3D world with the 2d graphics. The assets look amazing! It seems to be very difficult to burn and beckon animals. Even when i'm very close to them it doesn't react to me left- or right-clicking. The small messages that appear when an animal transforms are funny, and a great way to notify the player that a demon has spawned. Good job!
Very fun and addicting game! I love the that you can see when the next train is coming, that really helps. Is there any use for the coins? The graphics are cute, i like the cat. The game could use punchiness in terms of audio, but otherwise very great!
Great and funny game! The graphics are nice, and the music is pleasing. I enjoyed playing it.
Interesting game! I like the sound effects and the setting is pretty cool! The mouse controls are a bit weird, but other than that its pretty cool.
Great idea! The graphics are very nice, and the ticking audio is great as well. One thing to improve might be the controls. Possibly add up-arrow as a valid jump button. Other than that its a great game, and its really satisfying to freeze and pop enemies!
Interesting game. The graphics are simple and pleasing, no visual clutter and very easy to see what you have to do. The player controls feel responsive, but sometimes it is easy to "overshoot" the player, but this is mainly a matter of practice. The 10 seconds timer reset is very harsh though! i never managed to get past 3 buttons, as the game kept resetting. Maybe add more checkpoints?
Lovely graphics! The cat is very cute, and the guy that's screaming at you sounds just like my boss! (just kiddin :P). I find the concept unique and interesting, but i'm very confused in how the game is intended to be played. So far i've just been running around and planting random crops. I'm not sure how the weather influences the gameplay other than changing the setting. It feels really good with the sound effects, it really helps getting that auditory feedback from the game!
I was having a Blast playing this game! (pun intended). The graphics look great and the audio is very nice. The controls feel good as well. The mechanic with the ship blasting works really well, but i'd it if the ship blasting charge up animation was a tad longer, such that you have more time to hide from the blast. Very solid game.
Really cute game! The graphics are nice and the auditory feedback is great. I really enjoyed the jokes! It was a bit counter-intuitive that you need to use X at the same time as the earthquake happens to charge the magic (figured it out by accident), and its a bit brutal with the timing needing you to hit it almost perfectly. Other than that its a lovely game!
Can't get it to fire up. Keep getting unity player exception.
Cool game. I like the audio! The sounds of the ticking clock and banana removal are cool, and the music is fitting. The controls are very intuitive and responsive. I got confused by all the different "booths" because there were a lot i didn't need in the beginning. Maybe make it so that unneeded booths don't show up until packing requirements are updated?
Very good game! The audio is lovely and really sets the mood, and the graphics are nice. Its a blast to play.
The game has a cool setting, and runs smooth. Props to you for compiling to Linux! The fov makes it feel like an old-school shooter which i like! The game does, however, lack some feedback on health and enemies. Sounds for enemies dying and spawning/walking around you would be nice, as right now it is easy to not notice enemies behind you and the health bar is small.
Great game! The graphics look nice, and the sound effects give the game a responsive feel! I like the variation in therms of enemies and the existence of those very dangerous debuff enemies. The game feels bloody difficult! Maybe 3 lives is too little? :P
