Was hard at first but I got used to it pretty quickly. It seemed kind of discouraging to warp around the edges because of the inverted rotation, so I just sticked to the middle meaning there really was nothing new in each stage. It's an interesting idea though. Got to chaospehere.
It's pretty fun. The controls were easy to figure out, and yes this was a bit easy, I didn't lose any dwarfs (if you're allowed to lose some) and I haven't even played any games of that sort. Nice choice of music, seems to fit in. Good job :)
For some reason it seemed that the collision worked better on the original, maybe it was just a coincidence. Interesting little game, didn't get any books though.
Interesting game. I got 107, did some silly mistakes :P
I like the visual style as well. Good work :)
Pretty cool game. I don't think I got too far though. Haven't really tried the level editor but you get an exception if you try to cancel anything.
Couldn't get very far, a restart button would have helped :P
Well since you've made it in 5 hours you've done pretty well.
The coin sound was a bit too loud, it seems like when you hit a coin block multiple coins pop out, so I guess that's why. Also the jumping and graphics are a bit derpy, but other than that you did pretty good.
Fun little game, failed the first time :P
I couldn't play it very well because it was lagging and the audio was choppy (but that's not your fault, this computer is like 10 years old). Anyway, it's pretty interesting, nice job :)
Nice idea, were you hoping for the "control more than one" theme? Music is good, helps carry out the mood. Didn't finish it, stopped at the one where you have to hold a block on your head, or something like that :P
Nice concept, simple, challenging, last level took like 4 tries. Great job!
Thanks for the feedback! @uprightpath, @atombrot, yeah the the enemies are a bit stupid, should have implemented a better AI so they would actually move around and surround the player (and I still had time for that), I was just being lazy :P
@Flam, seems like the problem is with paulscode sound system, it wants to load natives from the mac folder which doesn't exist (mac natives are in the macosx folder)... it should be an easy fix.
Updated, just renamed the "macosx" folder to "mac". If you still have it downloaded you can do the same.
Thanks :)
Thank you everyone :)
I've updated the game's particle system. It used to generate lots of VBO buffers which slowed it down and it also was just unoptimized. Now it's quite a bit faster, although I can't imagine anyone had problems with that, because even my old computer handled the old version well enough.
Thanks :)
Really unique, I like it and it's pretty fun. The music and sounds were good and I liked the simplistic graphics. Good work :)
Yeah, I think it's too fast. It took me a while to get to the first door ;_; . Good work though!
Haha, nice story. I liked the game too :)
Cool! Managed to get to the end. I really like those mechanics. Good job :)
Why must it take so long to get to another planet? I guess it's kind of realistic, but not so fun... after I got to a different planet I quit, but now i see there are upgrades... well I'm not doing that again :P
Nice game! For some reason I can't upgrade the fuel a second time, said I didn't have enough money, even though I did.
Finished the game, though I think I kind of cheated... when the sum of both planets is an odd number, you can decide which one gets the one point by changing which one you select first and which one second. Anyway, fun game, good job!
That's a really nice game! A way to speed it up would've been nice though.
Heh, thanks, I'm glad i added that :P
hmm...well my best guess is the single '\' that's there... I'll try changing that in just a sec.
Changed, if it still doesn't work then I have no idea what to do.
@uprightpath Yeah I added the death sounds for the player and enemy, but didn't need a hit sound for the player and so I forgot to add it for the enemy.
@Charlie Thanks! Glad you liked it, and good to know it works now.
Thanks! :)
Well, I didn't want to make it too easy, so the more waves you beat, the more health the enemies have. And I think the 360-spread planet would have been overpowered if it would've done more damage. Though it can get pretty fast with the fire rate power-ups. Thanks for playing!
@kyru, @EndingChaos Thanks! I was afraid my game didn't quite fit the theme.
Nice game :D . Maybe should have added more skills like, for example, some sort of super jump so you could avoid the boss easier. Good job!
It probably would have been a bit more challenging if the third world's rotation wouldn't reset after switching. Nice work :)
Simple but fun. I liked the win text :D
Interesting idea, a bit hard for me too though.
Fun little game, didn't finish it though.
It's not too bad, but like others have said, it's too easy. You need a game over after your multiplier goes down to 0 and you should make it more difficult. I like that you added variations to the snowflakes, though you could have also added some sort of background and floor graphics. Good work :D
Fun little game, I guess my best advice would be to work on the graphics a bit more. Good work :)
Once I realized that you can just hold the mouse button to place the bombs it got really easy... also, it seems the bombs don't blow up each other, maybe if they would it would be harder to just make a trail of bombs. As for the sounds, it's really not that hard to generate some with bfxr, you can usually make a passable one just by clicking on one of the effect names. But good work, I really liked it :)
@atombrot, hah, forgot to do that :P usually I just allow rebindable keys, but this time I reworked my UI system and didn't have time to reimplement it. Thanks for playing :)
@Mokosha, you probably need to update your jre.
@calavera, well I guess this is the game I would've made if the theme would have been snowman, but I didn't start until the theme was announced, just so you know :)
@Grindstorm, thanks! I was actually planning on adding upgrades and different enemies, but I was on the computer for about 30 total hours, so by the end I wasn't feeling too well and decided to stop :P
The teleporters were a cool idea, like has been said, but I would've liked some checkpoints. People won't spend a lot of time on a game, because they have a lot more games to rate. But it's a really nice game, especially for a first one. Good job ^_^
Cool! I like how you can bounce your bullets off of walls, you can do some cool trick shots :D
I would've liked some more upgrades, some possible ones: fire rate, shoot more bullets at once, more bounces off walls, more speed, maybe even seeking bullets. The boss could've been a bit harder. Anyway, I liked it, good job :D
I got 72%, not sure how good that is. It's simple but fun. It seems the shape detection is a bit more forgiving in the later levels, which is nice. Pretty cool game, good job :D
This is the best :D
Thanks everyone for the feedback! Also, @sirtetris, that's awesome :D
I like how you can survive for a long time just by mashing Q :D
Interesting concept. Sometimes jumping doesn't work, which is a bit frustrating when trying to jump over enemies. It would have been nice to have some checkpoints. I didn't get too far, it's kinda hard, but I liked it. Good job on your first game :D
I agree with Hyden, it's hard to see when you're carrying something, maybe you could make it so you can change the distance of the object you're holding with the mouse wheel or something. Also, sometimes it's a bit hard to tell apart blocks from other blocks and walls, you could have added some sort of texture to the blocks. Anyway, it's pretty interesting to mess around with physics. I liked the final room :D
It's a bit hard to control, but cool idea :D
Reminds me of a flash game called "This is the only level", I love it!
Ok, I just downloaded 0.9.2 and played it.
I know that you didn't have much time, but here's some feedback anyway:
Since there's no sound it's a bit hard to tell when you're reloading. You probably won't be looking at the top left corner of the screen all that often, so you won't see the "reloading" label. It's better to place that label near the cursor, where you'll be looking most of the time (you can also put the ammo count near the cursor too). Also, some sort of progress bar instead of just a label would be better, so you could tell how much longer it will take.
Sometimes some zombies spawn right next to you and damage you instantly. What I would do is this - after spawning each zombie, check it's distance from the player, if it's less than *some value* units of distance, get the direction vector from the player to that zombie and multiply it by *some value*, and add the player's position vector to this new vector. This new vector is the zombie's position *some value* units away from the player. Although the zombie could potentially get spawned in a block, but I think it's better than damaging the player.
You could also have more choices for weapons. You do have a lot, but they seem to do more or less the same thing. Maybe you could have a shotgun that's good at taking out multiple zombies at the same time, but endangers you because you need to move up closer to the zombies to do significant damage. You could also have a sniper rifle that would be pretty much the opposite of a shotgun - you can take out zombies from a safe distance, but only one at a time (with relatively slow reloading), making it bad for hordes that are closing in on you.
Anyways, don't worry so much about it, I've made worse games than this with probably more time ;D
Hmm, for some reason the music doesn't play in the web version for me, I assume it's the music in the timelapse. Anyway, the graphics are neat, great job :D
@Evgiz I tried to run the desktop version, but I'm on a 32 bit system, unfortunately.
Maybe it has something to do with streamed vs. static sounds, because the sound effects played just fine. Oh and this was with Firefox, I just tried it with Chrome and the music plays just fine there.
Hi! Is there supposed to be sound in this game? I don't seem to hear any. One quirk I noticed is that when you get hit, the knockback causes you to turn around, which is not great because you want to attack whatever knocked you back, since now they are really close. Also, nothing seems to happen after you defeat the final boss, which is a bit disappointing and makes it seem a bit unfinished. But regardless, the graphics were quite nice and I enjoyed it, great work :D
Thank you for the feedback everyone! I did realize after making it that dashing is really finicky and should just be bound to a button, good to know that people think so too. And yes, @ISG, after you reach the treasure you can't go anywhere else, it's just too shiny and attractive :)
Ooh, looks neat. It would be nice to have some way to track your progress, maybe a "zombies killed:" and/or "time survived:". Also it's a bit annoying how the game just exits when you die, you should allow to restart or at least keep the window open. Anyway, you did a great job :D
@nnnnneeeedddd You say that you've set the gravity to be much lower than in the real world, but it's clearly very intense, so I looked at your code and... ``` void Player::update() { ...
acceleration += glm::vec2(0.f, -0.025f);//gravity velocity += glm::vec3(acceleration, 0.); } ``` Are you... accelerating acceleration??
Gravity doesn't increase acceleration, it IS acceleration, so it should be ``` // = not += acceleration = glm::vec2(0.f, -9.8f / 60.0f); // 9.8 might not be the right value for your game, though. In my game, I used 9.8 * 4. // You might need to decrease the jumping force too.
// Also, since it's constant, you don't need to set it every frame.
// You can actually just do this instead: velocity += glm::vec3(0.0, -9.8f / 60.0f, 0.0); // gravity ``` With the code you have now, gravity accelerates up to 45 m/s^2 in just 0.5 seconds! So at that point, it's almost 5 times stronger than normal gravity. That's why it feels like the gravity is strong, it's because it mostly is :P . How tall your player is also affects how intense the gravity feels, if it's human-like it should be about 1.8 meters.
You might want to watch this when you have some time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hG9SzQxaCm8
Also, you're doing this in `void Player::doMovement(GLFWwindow* window)` too, although in this case maybe it's not that bad.
So, yeah... anyway, mainly I had the same issues with the game as other people (the jump, camera etc.)
But great job on making this with no engine!
I've published my comment multiple times and made duplicates, sorry :P
-duplicate
-duplicate
Figured out a neat trick - just do "burn 1000" and you can use "toggle thr" to toggle the thrusters on/off :D
Anyway, cool idea. I think you could expand upon this. For instance, you could add a delay command that would allow you to program more complex maneuvers, firing in patterns etc.
@mik3 thank you for playing and for the feedback :)
@adrien-dittrick well, that room was supposed to teach you something - you can hit the homing rockets and they will start seeking skulls! I was hoping eventually people would try it, but I guess it's not obvious that it would work. Anyway, thanks for playing!
@gagapete That's odd, the physics shouldn't be OS dependent... welp, I have no clue how to fix that, if anyone else has this issue, tell me.
@lythom Thank you for playing and for the detailed feedback, I really appreciate it :)
And thank you to everyone else as well ;D
I loved this game! On my first run I ran out of time, but it was so fun for me that I decided to try again. I managed to beat it, although the last level took a while.
The filters are a bit inconsistent, I had a cable going from one filter to another and the door didn't open, then I swapped the order of the filters and it worked (it was highpass to lowpass, or maybe vice-versa, can't remember). Also on one level, a door was spazzing out, even though I had the right solution (I think), I just had to wait until it opened properly so I could pass (this was also because of filters probably).
Anyway, this was probably my favorite entry out of all the LDs I've participated in, I can't even believe this is a compo entry. Really well made, great work!
Pretty fun game. At first the controls seemed a bit weird but I quickly got used to it.
Still, here's how I would do the controls: * You always face the mouse cursor, LMB to move forward, space or RMB to shoot, OR * LMB to face the cursor, RMB to move forward, space to shoot
The graphics are a bit inconsistent, the pixel sizes on each sprite seem to be different. What I mean is, for example, the title text 'POWERSHUTTLE' seems not pixelated at all, has a smooth gradient, meanwhile, all the other text is very blocky and pixelated. The background is very high-definition, but the powerup sprites are pixelated, etc.
But anyway, congrats on making a fun game :D
I think I'm addicted...
Though, you can easily become overpowered and quickly kill the other kings, still really fun to rack up the numbers though.
Really great for a compo game, well done :D
Took me a few tries but I finally beat it. 6 farmers and 3 researchers in the beginning seemed to be the way to go.
There's really no reason not to burn your wood and oil right away, since there's no cap on the power you can hold. And so that means having wood and oil be separate has no advantage. Maybe you could make it that if your power goes above a certain threshold, the power you generate becomes less due to inefficiency. That way, you would actually have to make sure you don't burn anything when your power is too high or you burn only the wood when you are close to that threshold, so that you don't waste your resources.
Anyway, fun game, thanks for making it ;D
@blubberquark, thanks for playing! > I don't see the theme
Well, the idea is that the more crystals you collect, the tougher the enemies get. But now that I think about it... that's kind of how every level based game is... *damn it*... I mean, I did come up with the idea maybe 10 minutes after seeing the theme, heh :D
> The only thing that annoyed me was that you slide on the ground so much
What do you mean by that? You accelerate and decelerate pretty fast, is that the problem? Does the movement look like the gif I just uploaded? If not, maybe there's a bug...
Anyway, thanks :D
@josefnpat, thank you for the nice words! Waaait a second...
> the **first few levels** are very fun
I see what you did there... just joking, of course :D
But to be fair, I really should have spent more time polishing the levels. Thanks again!
@fluidvolt
> I also really dug the low-pass that comes up under the text cards – did you do that through programming or manually?
Manually, I have 2 versions of the track - one normal, one lowpassed. Love2D can't do that, but it will be able to do that and other effects (and custom processing iirc) in the next major version (0.11.0), so keep an eye out for that.
And thanks!
@zipp, I see, thanks for playing!
*whoopsie double publish because long comments take forever to publish
@wetdesertrock, wow, suddenly a wall of feedback, haha :D
> I think your usage of the theme felt like it was really just an excuse for your game to have a difficulty progression, which it should’ve had anyways. The text in between levels was good, but when you don’t give the player any choice besides to collect the crystals it really just amounts to a difficulty progression.
I just didn't want for the theme to interfere with the fun of the game. This specific theme makes that kinda hard to do. I saw some other entries limit you the more you have of something and that just doesn't seem like fun to me. But yeah, you're right, it sounded better in my head during the jam than it does now.
I guess the idea is that these are the same type of enemies, just stronger, whereas in some other games you would see stronger _versions_ of those enemies that are distinct (and sometimes you see stronger and weaker versions on the same level). Eh, I give up :P
> The other complaint I have is with the player movement. Overall it was really good, but I had one complaint. Maybe it is just me being bad at platformers (I am), but I felt like the jump should’ve been made more powerful or you should’ve allowed the player to let go of the jump key after awhile. it felt like I had to hold it down forever to get maximum jump velocity and made me miss my jumps pretty often.
Yeah, I always seem to have trouble with implementing variable jump height. You have to hold down the jump key until the peak of your jump to reach max height.
> Did you speed up the music at all as the game progresses? If so great touch, if not, do it next time!
No, I didn't. Maybe not a bad idea, but the framework I'm using would only allow to change the speed with the pitch, and the quality would probably suffer. I could maybe do different versions of the track... but I already have 2 versions that make up most of the game's size, and I would need 2 versions of each speed version and...
Yeah, I'm not sure about that... but I'm actually slowly working on a post compo version, I don't know if I'll have the motivation to finish it at any reasonable time (or ever), but if I do, I'll see if I can do something like that.
Thank you so much for this feedback, I really appreciate it!
Why do I feel like the first level was the hardest...
It was frustrating at first, but eventually I got the hang of it. Though I feel like me dodging the attacks was more luck than skill.
I quite like the look of the game, but yeah, kinda frustrating, kinda short too. But good job!
It's not particularly challenging, you just sort of strafe around them until the enemies are in one big bunch and then you move towards them, shoot, move back, reload, move towards them, shoot... and on and on. Maybe some types of enemies that move differently would have helped with that.
The window didn't fit on my screen, it had too large of a height :P
The controls were kind of unresponsive and weird (I guess is how I would describe them), which made platforming difficult.
Anyways, I really liked the SFX and music. And neat concept too! Good work!
It's a bit cumbersome. The dogs kind of blend in with the background, I thought I had 2 dogs until I moved close to the third one and it moved. Also, there only seem to be 24 sheep, not 36 :P
You didn't mention you can run with shift. Fortunately I found that out pretty quick. Like others have mentioned, the AI isn't great, I just started meleeing everyone after not too long. I did really like this though!
~~I couldn't seem to hear any music or sounds on Windows.~~ Never mind, I forgot that I need to plug in my headphones into my computer for them to actually work...
One improvement you could make - the further the mouse is from the player when you click, the more powerful the jump (and vice versa). That's something that most of these sort of games do.
I had my mom play it, she didn't do very well, the first enemy is too quick for her :P
Wow, the music is really nice!
It's maybe a bit easy. I just always collected all the ammo and tried to not get hit (I guess I did die a few times before winning though). It's a bit hard to tell health and ammo apart.
Overall, I really liked the game and it's aesthetic. One of the best LD40 entries I've tried so far (then again, I haven't tried that many yet :P). Great job!
I played this for way too long, finally gave up at 3406 :P
Maybe some sort of minimap at the side of the screen would have been nice, so I could better know which pig is selected and where he is (or maybe how high he is) relative to others.
The art style is nice and it has simple but addictive gameplay. Nicely done :D
God damn it, I need to rate 4 games today and this just had to be the first one I try...
Really well polished for a compo. Felt really harsh when I first died and realized that it doesn't save progress, but I got further with each try.
The controls felt a bit clumsy (though I just now realized flash version has right click for melee).
Gonna have to play this one later some more. Just overall amazing.
@mossgames You can shoot more times than 3, there's an upgrade for that. Thank you for playing ^_^
@youpeoples Yeah I guess you could say I was somewhat inspired by Downwell. And thanks :)
@nick-rafalski I did realize that it was hard to line up shots towards the end of the compo, probably has to do with the hitboxes. I couldn't easily modify the hitboxes though because of how I hacked everything together lol. And thanks, this might be the first time someone said that my game fits the theme well :D
@benburgh Thanks for playing! I've already watched it, I really appreciate your feedback and sorry I couldn't be there, it turned out the stream was gonna be 12 hours from when I expected :P
@simon-rahnasto aww, thanks! [I have the music on my soundcloud](https://soundcloud.com/icylavah/sets/shop-till-you-drop-dead-soundtrack-ludum-dare-44) btw and you can [have a listen to the music for my LD40 game](https://soundcloud.com/icylavah/crystal-curse-main-theme-ludum-dare-40) if you'd like
Actually played a round for 15 minutes before being eaten. The rate of fire doesn't seem to be consistent, sometimes you shoot faster or slower, not sure why. Also there seems to be no punishment for keeping resources at 0 until you have enough stuff to get them to 100%. The movement is a bit finicky, maybe you could've used the keyboard for that. But anyways, it's enjoyable :)
Had a bit of trouble in my first 2 attempts... then I started utilizing the fire button :)
I wish I could remove the stuff that I don't need anymore.
The bullets are tiny and very hard to see and on top of that it's hard to tell when you're getting hit in general.
Not sure why you assigned separate buttons for buying rockets and EMP. I mean you don't have to buy laser shots, but those cost energy too. I would just have the 3 and 4 keys shoot and use up the energy automatically like the laser.
I liked the graphics, actually the screenshot is why I picked this game to play :D
@rewzu Oh, I see. It's just a bit hard to manage all the buttons, which is why I said that :)
Weird bug on Firefox - the cucumber keeps going to the left and dying constantly. Works fine on Opera.
How come you don't have audio and graphics for rating, they're really good ;~;
Maybe you could tap a key to go faster, would give you something to do in between getting the hearts.
Yeah the screaming sound is clipping badly. The parts are really hard to hover over, especially when you're moving. Neat atmosphere.
Also, works on Linux (Ubuntu 19.04), just had to check "Allow executing file as program".
@justuspan just press any key
Thanks @joellikespigs , I will be streaming multiple days so hopefully you can make it to one of them.
@mapedorr if you can, you should try submitting your game to my stream! Go to my [Twitch channel](https://www.twitch.tv/icylavah/), use the form there and I might play, though the queue is somewhat long so idk. I will stream at 10:30 UTC today and possibly tomorrow.
Thank you all for playing and commenting! @leviathon yes, that's "intentional", or rather I didn't have time left to implement any ending scene, so I just left it thinking that maybe no one will even reach the end :)
@remco thanks for playing and for the feedback!
There's a lot I wanted to do and so I didn't spend too much time working on the explosion mechanic.
I did notice it was very hard to predict where the bomb is going which is why I implemented the feature where you see the bomb path, but even then it's hard to time your jumps with the explosion (and you **must** jump in time with the explosion in most cases).
I've spent the last hour or so of my time on music and title screen art, because I placed more importance on those than tinkering some more with the game physics.
2021-10-09_15-43.png
At this point I feel like my ship is basically indestructible and I have a ton of credits. When the big ships with the insta-kill lasers come, I just freeze the ship so it doesn't get unbalanced and replace the broken parts.
@adam-gould Thanks! The idea is that you have to fulfill requests to your server every 10 seconds (see the timer on the bottom right). It's maybe not so clear, since the "wait for next request" instruction skips the remaining time.
@migi @allosius @ex3d0 @andidebob Thanks all! The look of the UI is thanks to Godot 4, I only did the layout and drag & drop functionality for instructions, which is why I opted out of graphics.

This game is awesome and the music is bangin'! It's funny how the office actually gets bigger each time you level up.
It's a shame more people haven't played it.
@kepsert weeelll I don't know, there's some time to be saved in my run, but it's hard to get everything right. Guess we'll see.
Neat! We apparently made similar games :D
I'm not sure if there wasn't any checking to see if my data was correct or if I was just always doing it correctly. Anyway, ended up finishing the whole thing, I wish there were more things to do though!

Hey, I played this on Ludum Dare Score Chasers and I believe I got a WR score

I love the 2 aesthetics of the game. The visuals and audio are amazing, and the gameplay too! Well done!

This game makes me so tense, mainly because I can't die if I want a good time. Visuals and audio are fantastic, and the gameplay feels very polished. Great job!

@blubberquark thanks for playing!

I did think of implementing a minimap but just never got around to it.

Yeah, they don't really do anything except make it a bit harder to maneuver I guess. At first I thought you would have to compete with them, but I underestimated how difficult it is to make a competent AI. I went with a time limit instead and just left the opponents anyway.
Thanks for the feedback!
