Cool game! I played it more than one time cuz it was really fun! The only thing i would add is some music and better sound effects. Also a lot of the time when you hit an enemy close to the edge, they glitch through to the other side, and when the minotaur hits you at the edge YOU get out of bounds, so i would fix that. But you made something in a short amount of time, and its an actual game! Good job!
Very cool game, i got all the bones after a couple of minutes :D, reminds me of minit. Also the movement is kind of janky, because you dont stop after you press the movement button so i would change it so that you can change your direction mid walk for a smoother feel.
Very cool game :D, one of the best i've seen on here, but one problem i had with it is that you had to be really almost perfect with the four box pillar puzzle, i couldn't make it :(, but that's probably just my fault. I would make it so that the things you can cover your head with respawn, because you are basically always respawning them anyway each time you enter the cave (although i know that resets the puzzles and everything). Solid game! You made a cool thing in this limited amount of time and that's always something to be proud of!
Very cool game! although like most people here, i would shorten the dialogues a little bit, and maybe explain a bit how you should actually use the notebook to your advantage, but it fits with the theme and the graphics are awesome!
Once you get past the first wave you get too much money and you can't spend it fast enough, the waves just melt after a while and you dont need to do anything. Fun concept though, i had fun with the DDR stuff, but its a little bit too easy.
Awesome game, I loved the music, definetly goes with the ten seconds theme, I can't figure out how to get past level seven, the water dripping sound just doesn't give me a big enough hint. But you did a great job with this game :D
very good game for 2 people! I would like to say that the meters on the sides of the screen showing you how much the laser is charged are really hard to see, and when the triple dart shooting enemies show up the game gets really really difficult. But other than that i enjoyed playing a lot and i wish you luck in future game development!!!
this game was really really cool!!!! I like the speedrun aspect of it, and it was very satisfying figuring out optimal paths. Though i will add, the ending of the game was very quick, this doesnt mean it had little content, but i got the bottle and shield and green door and sword in 2 runs in total, so i would space them out a little bit more. Second thing, the green door checkpoint is great, but i would add another checkpoint right after you unlock the door from the priest, because those first few steps you have to do basically each run, and you do a lot of them, so adding a checkpoint there would make the game feel less repetitive and more about finding solutions to NEW problems. Also, right when i killed the coffee the game crashed so if you added an ending or anything i didnt see it unfortunately :( (i was on the browser version). other than that, this game was really well made and i am proud of what you guys did!
This game was pretty cool! Like the enviroment and the characters, although i played for a short time and it was difficult using the map, i can see how people would enjoy this a lot! Very good game for a game jam.
This game is a fever dream, and i LOVE IT! The randomness was really entertaining, the game wasnt too hard or too easy, a great balance, and i had a blast playing it. Solid game, good job.
i loved this game, i really like how you added voice acting, that's really good for a game jam game :D, the polish on this game is awesome. The only thing missing is some music, and it can get confusing whether the text refers to the pizza on the right or the left, so i would change that, so that it is clear WHAT pizza i am actually making. And maybe i would make the critics more easily distinguishable from normal customers, maybe with a red outline for their bubble or something similar. Overall, very good game, just needs slight adjustments and it will be perfect!
@real-flamingicecubegames you're welcome! i entered my first game jam this jam and i realized how valuable actual constructive criticism is, so i tried my best xd
This game is pretty fun! But a big thing that is frustrating is that you have to figure out on your own which bombs are active, not active, or solved. And you have to figure out how to solve the bombs yourself, and i couldnt figure out how to defuse a bomb other than hoping that the two colours at the top would be the same. So, i would add a tutorial of some sorts, otherwise, cool game :D
Very solid game, although i did really miss the audio and music. I would also change the extremely aggressive imp behaviour, because as soon as he turns red the game is basically over because you can only catch a very small amount of jelly before he catches up to you, and then its either you running away from him for the rest of the game, or you getting caught. also i think it might be more fair if the jellies didn't kill you, since that just adds a lot of squares that you now cant step on, and it also seems strange that such a small blob can kill you. But I think it was a great concept and it followed the theme well!
There is a lot of debuffs and not many buffs, though the buffs that do exist in the game are a bit overpowered i think, if the enemies don't burst you down in 10 seconds, and youve had a bunch of heal events, then the healing will just heal you to full. But the concept is original and definetly follows the theme, i think you will have sucess in future jams.
wonderful game! although i played it in the browser and the audio didnt work at all :/, but the levels were very cool, made me feel very smart after i completed them. The hardest one for me to finish was the one with 4 doors, because the ball kept hitting the wall and at the end you have to step on two buttons at once. BUT very good job! very refined game, i wish your team lots of luck in the future!
cool game, the controls are horrible though. I would just make it WASD and when you get near an object you can interact with or infect, i would make that object glow and have a button above them saying something like "E to interact". But the music was nice, cool stealth theme, the premise was also cool, and i had fun playing it :D
THIS GAME WAS AWESOME! The best game i've played this jam, I love the "splash" and "chaching" sound effects, they made it so satisfying to sell things or feed the monster. It was a simple and good concept, but it got really easy really quick, that doesn't mean i didn't have fun though! Very good job everyone :D
@matt-green it should be fixed now!!!!
@khullag yeah we wanted to add it but somehow never got around to doing so :(. thank you for the input though, its our first game jam so we're really happy we made a working game :D
@valyaseverin this comment :O, thank you so much!!!! its our first game jam so we're happy we made an actual game that works :D, i think our problem was that we were too happy with the game and forgot about the little things to polish, and yeah, the moving right before the planting finishes is pretty frustrating i agree xd. Thank you so much for the kind words though!!!!
@ategon thank you so much!!!!!
@boxedmeatrevolution thank you so much! It was our first game jam game so we are happy we made something working, so it might not have been extremely fun all the way, but i'm glad you enjoyed the music and art! :D -The artist
@tenshi42 you have to give it resources in order to build it, Thank you for playing our game!! :D
@lepoulet IT IS FIXED NOW MAYBE
@tylerstraub Thank you for playing! I'm not the programmer so i dont know how hiding the console works, but I'm glad you liked the music and graphics that i made :D
@stealcase thank you for this awesome review :D, i'm glad you liked the animations!!! And it's our first game jam game and first game in general, so we didn't balance it quite as much as we would like. We'll try our best to make the next game better! Thank you again!!!
@quinn-patrick Thank you for your criticism! We thought it would be realistic that you have to finish the animation in order to actually place down the plant, but the cancelling of the animation with other buttons is a bit unbalanced, i agree, maybe if we locked the controls it would be a bit better. We have recieved multiple complaints about the volume, so we'll try to work on tweaking everything so it fits nicely next time! But we're glad you enjoyed the game!
@fifut Thank you for playing!!!
@otterfaelure you have to press the up arrow or W to give resources to the dome. But thank you for playing!!!
@saltysa Yeah we have heard some complaints about the movement being bugged, but we have no idea what causes this for some users and its fine for others :/. But thank you for playing and the criticism!
@ido thank you so much!
@otterfaelure oh :(, this is the only case we've seen of this happening so we don't know what could have happened i'm sorry :(. But i'm glad you enjoyed! Players like you are valuable to the game dev community, remember that :D
@1kirik3 sad to hear that :(, but thank you for playing!
Very difficult to control, i also don't like how you can go wayyy out of bounds of the level, but it's an interesting concept and it follows the 10 second theme well! I wish you luck in future game development
Very neat game! its almost like one of those newspaper puzzles which wants you to find the criminal that did something and the only way you can get to them is by deduction, (I.E. tom has a red car, the person with the red car had a dog, mary had a dog, the person with the dog was walking to the park) and i found that really cool :D, my biggest score was around 1100, and the most fun part about this game is when you have a theory going, but then it gets broken by something not working as intended, so you have to make a new theory about how the world works, it's cool! Good luck in your future games X
Damn! I got sucked into this game and played for longer than I intended, very nice game :D. I liked the artstyle, the music was calming, and the small detail of being able to cross out where you cant put your houses is nice. I got stuck on the level "lonely mountain" and that's where I ended my playthrough. For next time, I would add an in-game tutorial so that people know exactly what lakes and mountains do, so that they don't have to rely on the ludum dare description.
Very solid entry, it was quite satisfying watching things evolve and sustain themselves, for a one man project (i assume) it's very good, and the voice acting is nice :D
great game! It was very fun trying to maximize the amount of food you have on your plate and hoping you will get multiple pieces of popcorn in a row :D. Sometimes its frustrating when you pick up a huge piece of cake and it instantly knocks off your other food, but that's part of the fun :D. The art quality here is really really good! And I like the random quotes that pop up, it gives you something to read while you eat. And the ambience with people talking in the back is nice
Very nice recreation of motherload done in a game jam's time! The ending was a bit abrupt but i understand you couldnt make a longer cutscene or anything like that, the art style felt very coherent, and the intro sequence was nice, simple game, well done.
Wow! Very nice game :D, the thumbnail caught my eye, it was very nice, and the game itself was also good :D, got to level nine and played a little bit in freeplay, and i must say, quite challenging at times, though i did have about 3 slowdowns left at the end, so maybe it would be a good idea to reward players that didnt use their time slowdowns with a bigger score perhaps? I loved the details in the animation, for example the way jones tries to push into walls when hes inside, or when he "dies" he just looks out from behind the rocks and continues exploring. very good game, liked everything about it, keep making more!
Oh my! It reminds of a fully fleshed out flash game :D, somehow it brought me into my childhood even though I've never quite seen a game like this before. Here's some feedback, at first I was confused which attacks were mine and which were my opponent's, so I would either color-code them, or put them on each side of the screen respective of whose charging bar is whose. (though i understand in order to time your attacks they need to be close to each other). And also, the strategy I used the most was simply filling up my inventory with as many "smacks" "smack mk2" and "beam em" as possible and the rest of the space with "enhance", and I thought this strategy would fail when I encountered the shielding robot which enhanced three times and then shields, im guessing it was designed to counter the smack enhance strategy, but I beat him pretty easily, so I would nerf the smack and enhance strategy somehow, I'm not sure how though, maybe adding a limit to how many of one component you can have? I'm not sure. Other than that, this game was awesome :D, the artstyle was coherent, and nice to look at, the music was good, and not distracting, the gameplay didn't feel repetitive and it felt satisfying collecting new parts and thinking about strategies, and the story was, well it wasn't that awesome, it was generic but, since you spent all your awesomeness points on everything else the story has to take a hit I suppose, which is fine by me :D. The dialogue each robot has is also a great detail. Overall, well done! I hope you make more games in the future X
WOW, the story here is awesome! the mood is fantastic, it all feels very melancholic and sad, the music adds to this and the story that is set in a warring nation is fascinating! My favorite entry in the jam currently, very well done! Graphics were coherent, the gameplay was innovative, and challenging, The choices you make in the story (although there arent many) are nice and overall, this game is nice. Well done to the team, I hope I'll see more games like this! X
Its been some time since i commented but I keep thinking about this game because I love it so much, I would really love to get to know the people who made this game, so here's my discord tag if you'd like to add me and chat :D: geronimo8230
Oh my god! This was an awesome game! I really like how it portrays social classes and from the beginning i could feel a very creepy eerie atmosphere setting in, like something was wrong. The artstyle was phenomenal, the story was awesome, and i liked how you had different music for the different levels, just awesome. The ending was also very nice, overall, this game turned out great and you even included minigames!!! And the humour was also great. I would omit the swearing though, I think it's kind of unnecessary and will lower the size of the audience that wants to play this game, I think. I would also add sprinting to the game, because in the first floor it is kind of slow moving around. And the colour of the grass is a bit too bright, I would lower that a little bit, and the fog is a little too bright as well, especially on the ground floor. In the end, wonderful game, and keep making more! X
wonderful game! art is awesome, story is awesome, however there are lots of small bugs which dont make the game unplayable, but they are often frustrating, like an item scraping the top of the bag meaning an automatic loss, or items breaking when you throw an item next to it. Overall, had lots of fun and i wish you the best of luck in future jams :D
Very good game, I would reccomend slowing it down a little bit at the start so that players can get a grasp of how the game works, and also telling people that items break after a while would be good, I didnt notice they were breaking until i mysteriously died and it was dissapointing.
beautiful game :D, the voice acting is a nice touch, the intro sequence overall was good. I like the way the game made me manage space and how infuriating it was blocking the cargo that i needed to deliver with my own boxes. Graphics were good and the music wasnt in your face and felt very fit for space. overall, nice job, i hope you make more games like these :D
great graphics :D, the game does get repetitive after a while, and it fits the theme very loosely, but i had fun playing and it looks very polished which is a plus!
