^ It is a fun game and I enjoyed the levels I could play, but like others I got stuck on level 4. After triggering the cannon the jump pads stopped working and I could not jump up to the finish. Also there were a couple times where the cannon wouldn't trigger, but I could not recreate that. Overall I really enjoyed the game. It's unfortunate that I did not get to play more levels.
@gimbalock Num Lock
This could be just be me, but jumping was way to inconsistent. If this was what unipedalism does I would make some change to it as it felt completely random which isn't adding a challenge that you have to work around, it's just forcing you to get lucky. Other than that though I thought the game was very nice. It was a unique take on the theme.
Very nice game. It felt very polished and I didn't experience any bugs or glitches. My one issue is that it opened in a window that took up a quarter of my screen and I kept accidentally clicking off it instead of shooting and I couldn't resize it. I don't know what you used to make this, but if you could just have it go fullscreen that would be a big improvement. Overall though thought it was very fun, looked nice, and had some fitting and well made soundtrack.
Strong base. Further development would make this a good game.
This game was incredibly relaxing. The sound effects and music set the perfect feel for the game and the graphics also fit it very well. Altogether nice job on this, it's a very different feel from any ludum dare game I've seen so far.
Like everyone else really liked the game. Great visuals, great game play. My only gripe which could be just me was the monotonous drone that played constantly. But that was really just a minor detail and didn't ruin the game for me at all. Keep up the good work!
Despite the simplicity I found the game rather enjoyable. I'm not sure of this, but it felt like the game stopped getting harder after ~150 score in the sense that it felt like the number of meteors spawning at that point no longer increased. If that's the case I would increase that time or just have it get harder indefinitely. One other suggestion is maybe have the meteors start slower than they are now, and then increase in speed over time in addition to a high spawn rate.
Best game 2018 10/10 legit no joke loved it lol.
Thoroughly enjoyed myself. The one issue I had was with the difficulty ramp. It felt like either a) I got 3 very expensive contracts early on where no matter what I would have done I could not have signed any of them and then I'm softlocked or b) I got an expensive contract and then I could build literally anything I want. But the game was definitely a cool concept. I thought the retheming of companies as Ludum Dare was funny.
@thechubbypanda @endurion Ok I believe I have fixed it. Was an issue with the java version so I have now compiled with an older version.
Is everyone who cant run it getting the ByteBuffer issue or something else?
I liked the carrot theme. :ok_hand: I think it fit perfectly.
The whole vibe of this game was great. The music was relaxing, the visuals were relaxing, and the game play was relaxing. Also the idea was super unique. Really great job. Woulda given you a 5 on mood if I could.
I thoroughly enjoyed the game. For the most part it worked really well. There were a couple small things I noticed that I thought I would mention. Not sure if this was intentional, but I noticed that the sooner you double jump the taller your double jump is. If this was intentional, it would be nice if this was mentioned somewhere. Second, only when playing the web version with a game cube controller (not sure about other controllers), if a button was pressed it would consider the button as being pressed every frame it seemed. This led to super tall jumps and prevented me from picking up eggs as they would be thrown immediately (see gif below). Anyways those were a couple nit picky things that really didn't impact too much. On the whole I did enjoy the game. The graphics were good, and the music was nice. Keep up the good work.

@rjhelms I was playing it in chrome on windows 10
@gilborn Yeah I really wanted to redo the fireballs as they feel pretty unfair, but then 48 hours hit and they were stuck as is. I guess that's why you shouldn't make deals with the devil.
The story was compelling. I wanted it to continue.
Great game and love that you made something for the C64. If I had one thing I would suggest its that maybe I would add a couple checkpoints. My hand got legitimately sore having to spam my keyboard to get through the parts of the maze I had already explored especially once I got farther on in the level.
This would be super fun as a head to head sort of game. One player on the left side of the screen one on the right. Race to the top. Anyway well done. The difficulty curve was well done. Excluding gameplay, favorite parts were definitely the bonus mode's tune and the end screen. Both very nice.
Well I liked the game, but unfortunately issues with collision made it basically unplayable. The graphics and audio were both pretty good. One suggestion I would have, and this is just a personal preference, but I think I would prefer having the movement vector be from player to mouse instead of mouse start to mouse. Also maybe scale the arrow with camera zoom. All in all though good work on this one. It will make a fine addition to your collection.
@gasgiant yeah I wanted to include that but I listed that as a nice to have in the feature list, so unfortunately I didn't get around to adding it (even thought it would probably be pretty trivial).
@cfdj43 getting platformer controls to feel good is something I always struggle with, but am trying to get better at. Could you elaborate a little on what you meant by the jump feeling stubby? Sorry, I'm just a little confused by what this means.
@barracuda Hmm I'll have to look into that
Neat little game. One thing to note. I don't know how MonoGame handles input, but I use a dvorak keyboard layout on Windows and it was not working (it used qwerty layout in game). I'm really bad at qwerty so that made the game very difficult. Other than that and the lack of music (which you acknowledged), I thought the game was nice. Keep up the great work.
I really liked the graphics on this. I especially like the way the earth rotation was done. One strange thing is I managed to go negative points by spam clicking increase fire rate. https://discordapp.com/channels/@me/350386220393693184/631108454358056981. All in all well done on this. Twas fun.
Hello! I just wanted to drop in and say I liked your game, but also to report a bug(?). Not exactly sure what happened. I was going along and all of a sudden a massive green circle spawned (from killing an enemy?) and then my frame rate dropped to 1 frame every 5 seconds or so. I have a recording of it happening linked below if that is of some use. Other than that I didn't have any issues. I was playing the version 1 and didn't experience any crashing. Keep up the good work :)

A nice engine builder. And ohhhhh does that engine ever get built. Died the first couple of attempts but by the third one the only way I would have lost is negligence. That x3 gem upgrade is where it's at.
This only works for windows
