Hi, I finally got around to playing LD entries - sorry for being late =) Cool game, I made a similar one called Planetary Remains back in LD38 so this game gives me double retro vibes =) Great job and sticking to the theme :)
Great job! I finally got around to start testing LD games, sorry for the delay =) Congrats on your first LD entry and for finishing it! It feels very complete with a menu screen, options, and a cool UI - that's usually stuff that has to be sacrificed =) Like the retro look, feel, and sound. I also thought it was good with the radiation twist on the survival game. Great job!
I like the idea of this game and how the rooms and items materialize as the story unfolds. Nice voice acting too! I would have liked to be able to move slightly faster and I found the progression a bit too slow to maintain my focus, but that might just be my impatience so for people that are more into this genre of games it's probably not a problem =) Very nice effort though!
I love the low poly art and animations. The long clothes really moved well as you ran around. Also nice with the environment, the character animations, and the lighting / mood. That all scored high for me, but I didn't understand so much of the game play though.
Haha, I laughed at the idea of not having a car and that I didn't stop him from racing down the street. I was always a fan of Outrun and the old school road scroller brought back some memories. Humor category scored good for me for the thought of a driving game with no car. I also like that he sits in the tree at the menu =) Clever to have the car parts available not only to pick up but also to act as lives as you progressed. Nice with low poly art too :) Good job!
I like the art style and concept of hand drawn 2D sprites in a 3D world. I wanted to play this more, but I had issues that the key sequence that came up would disappear as the horses moved away? Even when I thought I hit the correct keys at the right time, it disappeared. Nice music too.
Interesting maze games, I was a bit confused at the rhythm based concept. First I moved by tapping the WASD keys and they didn't respond, then sometimes they responded so I thought it was a rhythm I had to find in silence. Later, I realized I could press and hold for movement but there would be a delay before movement. I got past a lot of enemies and moved around the environment but I failed to complete the game.
Nice lighting effects and I also like the idea of hacking since my day job is related to IT security =) I found movement to be a bit slow but a good prototype to explore different mechanics.
This game brings my mind back to Myst back in the 90's. Interesting puzzles. The graphics, music, and very fitting mood. I struggle with motion sickness from some titles that glide too smooth so my play time got limited with that unfortunately preventing me from solving the puzzles, argh.
I am not quite sure what I was playing =) I summoned some things, zombies, and brains were eaten, but I failed to make many conclusions of what the objective was - if there is one? I scored it higher on innovation though as it was more innovative than my brain would comprehend at this time!
Simple mechanic that get's your mouse aim in check =) I struggled to get past 100 for some reason, feels like I got a lot more enemies coming compared to your animated gif above though?? =) Nice compo entry!
Haha, I like the $10 balloon damage insurance! Nice pixely art and humor in the game. For someone like me who has little patience to read in games I found it a bit of a waiting game. The thugs in the alley took me out (I suppose, it faded there?) and I don't know if I needed to repeat all the conversations again or if I should just run past them the second time.
Nice music and choice of colors in the game. Unfortunately I suffer from motion sickness when I play smooth floating FPS games so I could only play your game for a few minutes. Still, I like the idea of adding abilities and having the short range of view to create a navigational puzzle.
Cool with a FPS in the compo =) Unfortunately I get very motion sick from many FPS games, especially those that float very smooth and glides forward so I could only play a few rounds. A bit unconventional to hit/fire with E so I had to go out and read the instructions again. Visually, I think the background should have been gray so it would blend in with the fog - I think that could have given it a really mystic feel.
I was excited to come here, I have been a fan of your entries since I first came across one of your games that was Wreckless Rally. I like the calm mood of this game, and the diving mechanic was a nice touch =) Constructing stuff is always fun and what better than to revive some childhood memories of raft building. The one I built as a child was the size of one of those pieces though =) As much as I love doing low poly, you seem to love doing pixel art games and I am a big fan of that genre too. Nice relaxing game play and creative twist with naming the raft sizes in a funny way. Great work and see you in LD46!
Why do I keep missing instructions - I started the game, couldn't make anything happen, looked on the game page (but on itch, saw no instructions), tried again, nothing happened. Then I realized I was running in full screen and it cropped off everything at the bottom of the screen. Played in windowed mode, still didn't understand what to do... then hammered the keyboard and something happened. Then figured out 1-5 :) Then I noticed now that I was going to feedback that you had a super cool instruction posted on the LD-page of course, haha. I was not a great fan of the game play itself, but I did like the idea. Mostly I liked the artstyle, mood, and music. I think it would be worth including instructions in the game too on the menu screen - for silly people like me :)
The environment, animals and music was cute and relaxing so it was a nice experience to play. It took me a while before I figured out that collection process as I thought it would push the acorns and not pull them behind me =) Nice entry.
Nice combo between survival and tower defense. First I thought it was way too easy until I realized I was just shooting down people in the menu screen, haha. Nice work implementing all the mechanics. The massive enemy scared me from being huge. I survived for about two minutes, probably not the best of scores =)
I'm always a fan of low poly, so thumbs up there =) I found the camera switching a bit confusing to say the least. I couldn't see any platforms from close camera, and from the distant camera I couldn't move (at first?) - and then I jumped from the close person camera, and switched to the distant camera while I was in the air to land on an orange box. Then I realized you could reveal new tiles in the end.
What a nice compo entry!! First of all, I really like the art style, I love low poly =) Nice colors, objects, and animations including the walk cycle and movement. As for the game play, it was maybe a bit too slow for me, or repetitive, but I understand all the challenges that are involved in making a game like this and testing to improve gameplay is tough, especially when you have so many assets going on!! I really like this entry mainly from the visual aspects, so great job! I should also mention that even though I'm not a great fan of the genre itself, I am sure many others are!
Nice work - I like the way you introduced the game with what to press and he ran off into the level. For a while I was wondering if I could do anything to get way from the first "monster" but when I saw Mods 4/6 I realized that I should somehow collect more - the cloud he turned into I thought was collectable too but found out it wasn't :) Second enemy reminded me a bit about cup head, especially with it being in grays too. Nice music (that is now stuck in my head...) Good entry!
Hi, I thought this was fun, simple yet innovative =) Now my space key hurts though, haha. It worked up a bit of stress in a good balanced way. I loved that $100k lets you live for a few months in San Francisco, I remember having to pay a fortune for the hotel when I last went to GDC!
Here was my best score: score.PNG
Nice work!
Hey, nice entry! I like that you also included the highscore feature so I could chase my score. I only managed to get 220 as I struggled a bit to make it from side to side in time - randomness played a big part in the ability to score. Maybe it would have been nice to make it possible to collect more in time, at least early on in the rounds. I wasn't too sure I was supposed to collect the bombs?? =) Nice with audio and graphics too.
Hey, I like this one! I like the fact that different enemies have different properties and drop items and it kept my interest to complete the game by collecting 10K gold =) I did run in to a few bugs, e.g. some of the ships, especially those that could be boarded, had a tendency to move either down or up beyond range of the guns and also when you boarded a ship the second time it would destruct and you were still stuck for some time. But other than that, I enjoyed the game and it had some retro art to it that I thought was nice too. Well done!!
I got 5 stars (I think) at year 19 and I go the "won life" message too, but I'm not quite sure what I was doing in the end =) I think the feedback of the cards and what they do could be improved with some player feedback but maybe there is some standard solitare mechanic that I should be aware of maybe?? =) I'm also not sure why "Rainbow poo" is a tragic event?
Wonderful game! I reached the sword and the journey was time well spent. I think it was a very clever implementation of strategically dying in certain places to produce the necessary block to solve the puzzles. I like the "old school" method of using rooms instead of a side scroller as well. The graphic was suitably nice and so was the audio. The blood cough made me cringe a bit and I felt sorry for the little character =) Also a nice variety of challenges with lifts, saw blades, jumps, spikes, and stuff. The only thing I could find to pick on is that the level progression was somewhat jumpy and I would probably have ordered the rooms a bit. Some rooms I died a few times at to get the items to become positioned correctly and the next room I would just run through. Maybe that's not necessarily a bad thing though, maybe it would become boring if every room was more difficult than the previous one. Great job on this game!
I like the idea of a delivery game and I think it could become fun to dash around trying to make deliveries on time and prioritizing the ones that would pay out more etc. For this entry, I found the collision behavior to be a bit crazy as my car seamed to go a bit all over the place and with the boxy art I wasn't too sure what was good or what was a hazard if that makes any sense? Still, good work and see you back for LD45? =)
I really like this game for many reasons! I like the idea of being the office manager having to keep track of incoming and outgoing cash flow. I like the simple pixel art graphics and like the audio it was quite comical =) I thought it was funny to see the profiles as you were about to hire people and in my case now it's easy to turn down hiring "Karl Yorktown" who has no quality of work and hardly any work ethic but he want's to get paid a lot and he's very motivated (to get paid I'm sure =). If I was to try to add any constructive feedback it would be that it's somewhat difficult to gather an understanding on who in the workforce isn't performing so good and who to fire as it's quite fast paced and the guys overlap at times. But that's a minor thing. I'm scoring this game high in overall, mood, and humor categories especially. Congrats, a really great job on this one!
Good for having so little time to make it! I thought it was amusing that they accelerated towards the high paying machines - I can see that in a Vegas casino in my mind as the rumor spreads. Kept me occupied for a while and the idea itself could probably be developed but I think that the objective should be made clearer in a more polished game as it was somewhat confusing (I tried to play without reading the instructions first, doh).
I've never really played card games before but the concept has started to interest me a lot more lately. Since I haven't played many (read any) similar games, I'm not sure how to feedback on it but what I did like was the variety of cards and the fact that you had card animations instead of them, for example, just disappearing as you played them. Well done!
For someone who was always intrigued about Myst back in the day but never had the patience to play it - this is quite appealing, but I didn't manage to solve the puzzles, argh. One of my biggest puzzle to get over initially was the mouse movement since I play all my FPS games with invert Y-axis =)
Nicely done! Classic tower defense but adapted to the theme in a clever way. I thought that the polish was nice with a tutorial, different defense items and enemies, the ability to get a build "menu" when placing an object, as well as the ability to upgrade or recycle the items to regain life. I really liked playing - thanks for your entry!
Nice infinite runner/scroller idea with the different line/lane choices. I found it a bit too easy or slow in terms of difficulty progression but otherwise it was a nice game with enjoyable art and music. Nicely done!
Classic asteroids retro look with the simple vector art - I especially liked the explosions. I found that entering a room it was quite easy to just be stationary and do a round sweep of fire to clear the room in a single 360 rotation. Also, I reached below zero on my life counter (which is extremely grannular btw =) but I didn't die or the game didn't end. Also, I cleared all the rooms but nothing seemed to happen?
Visually awesome - I really like the pixel art and my 9yo son and 7yo daughter got interested. I am playing and rating games while they are trying to go to sleep and this one really caught their attention. I said, "It's a nice looking game right?" My son said, "What do you mean dad? It's an awesome looking game!" I guess the game mechanic is a tower defense mechanic but all the enemies take a direct path but I can understand that it may have been tricky to include more navigation and dynamic obstacles to stir up the game play a bit. I ran out of life/energy as the wave was slowly progressing and I knew that I was doomed a few minutes before the game really ended so it would have been nice with a way to get out of that - maybe a potential coordinated and tricky to achieve "super move" somehow =) Great job!
Very nice looking game - I really liked the art style and animations. The audio was nice too but since you opted out of that category I gather it was not made for this game specifically. I liked the idea of the game but when you got stuck to a gum it felt like you were quite doomed as I couldn't find away from accelerating away from the "wheely" enemies that were chasing me. I also kept pressing space to jump even though you specified the keys clearly - my brain just kept saying to me that space is jumping =) Nice work!
This looks really beautiful - I like the colors, the voxel / low-poly look, and the lighting. Also, from a gamedev/technical perspective, the map generation makes me curious too, including the path-finding, navigation, and collisions =) As for the game play, I navigated around the map for a while but I somewhat lost patience wandering about the map as I couldn't see myself on the minimap - but I guess that is part of the design that one should identify from the obstacles where you are and figure things out from there? Thumbs up, especially visually! =)
The artwork really caught my attention with this game - it's a very nice style and very suitable for the game. Love it =) My only criticism for the art would be to make the run animation slightly more in tune with the rate of movement as the character floats about a bit - but that's just a minor thing. For me, it's basically a find collect mechanic so maybe not so innovative in the game design - still, great work!
Nice graphics and audio! I jumped right into the game play and fought some of the gladiators, but I didn't quite grasp how I was making the money? It didn't appear to result in me getting money if I hit the gladiator, but it did count up if I clicked on them - or was that just a coincidence as I was rewarded with money for staying alive? I found that somewhat confusing - but it looks like a nice survival type of game =)
I didn't latch on to the UI interactions at first - I tried to type, click on the words, drag the words to the prompt, but I had to look in the comments to realize I should "collect" highlighted words in the text. Once that became apparent, it was quite an innovative way to design the UI to drag and drop the words. I was playing games in the early Sierra era and liked the old graphic "type command" games even though the game design back then was flawed in many ways - but I still like seeing a prompt text commands. I also found the XML implementation interesting, I haven't done any conversational or stoyline based games before so this taught me a bit about how to approach that. As for the game, I played it for a while to progress through the chain of events but it didn't keep me too captivated, probably because I am not so great/patient at reading =) The music was somewhat repetitive but at the same time it had a nice mood to it. Thanks for your entry!
Quite cool that you can make a FPS game in a weekend nowdays =) I like the graphics (both models and textures) as well as the audio in the game. Great that you implemented settings to but for an old-school player like me it was lacking one absolute critical setting for me when it comes to FPS games and that is invert Y-axis. I spent most of the time in the game staring at the floor or the sky =) Good work though - nice game!
The questions makes you think a bit about the decisions you make and makes you question a bit why you make them the way you do - that's quite a good aspect of the game I think. I realize I don't like to travel too much since I stayed at home in most choices =) For someone like me who thinks there is too much text even in comic books, I found it a bit too text heavy - but the meshed backdrop added some nice visuals. Nice work and welcome to LD, hope you return for future events!
Top down fighting game - first time I have ever tried that but it gave it a brutal "in the ring" feel =) Smart concept with the body parts for blood currency. Also impressive that you implemented the mechanic of all the weapons as well as the ability to graphically lose the limbs. On top of that, you got the AI fighter acting like a somewhat worthy opponent :) I ended up losing a leg outside the ring which incapacitated me and preventing me from being able to move (I could still kick shockingly enough =) but the AI fighter never approach me when I was outside the ring so I had to end the game on that note. Nice work!
I like the pixel art and the controls felt direct and quite responsive - saying that, I kept missing jumps as I bumped the platforms. I ran into some bugs as I couldn't collect a few of the coins, I just passed through them. It was funny that the "damned children" chanting "money money money" =) The audio was suitable but somewhat confusing with what appeared to be random pitches of the jumps - or did they have any game affecting significance with the pitch differences? Good work, I liked the mood in this game.
Haha, in this day and age with all the political correctness - I loved this =) Now that I have 3 kids, I never really make any brutal games but rewind the clock 10 years and I was making prototypes similar to this. Not sure why I don't anymore, I still think it's quite comical to just go with totally crazy ideas. I though the animations, especially the expressiveness, was excellent. Good audio too. Also scored good with humor for me, mixing in some kisses and thumbs up. Considering how many moves you implemented in such short time, I think you could make a cool brawl / fighting game in this style. Please let me know if you do =) Great effort!
When I started this game it reminded me of the time I had my first PC - I had about the same frame rate in the latest games =) Clever to combine the rythmic system with a shooter but I couldn't help but falling back to feeling that it's a game that runs too slow. Maybe if the rythmic movement had a tweened smooth in/out it would increase the user experience. Looks pretty nice and colorful too, so nice work!
Even though I love time travel I found it a bit confusing to figure out what was going on =) Saying that, it was an innovative twist on the platformer to include the reverse time mechanic and with the system of having the switches alter the level. The controls were a bit "swampy" maybe but you get used to them after a while. I often fall victim to allowing the physics engine to maintain realism with inertia and it's something I've often had feedback on myself in previous ludum dares. When you iterate the prototype of a game it's easy to quickly get used to how it feels personally and it's also difficult to predict what first time players will feel. Nice concept though!
I like the art style and the platformer physics. Controls were good too! Impressive that you also implemented a shop system with weapons and I kept wasting lives by using the betting option, haha. Nice work!
The top down race circuit style brought me to this game =) I found the path a bit too narrow and with the steering being direct I had some issues to not crash into the sides.
The low poly art drew me to this game as I am a great fan of low poly =) When I rated the game I noticed that the graphics entry was opted out of so I understand that it may have been asset art? Nevertheless, I like the look of the game. It was not so obvious why you died but I read in your description that it's the way the game acts when sacrificing. Fun idea to sacrifice scouts because it probably reflects how terrible their job must have been for real in the past. Thanks for your entry!
The lowpoly art brought me here and I like the concept but I may be missing something vital? I can't get past level one :) I see the rhythm of the spikes go up and down (cool with rhythm btw =) and I also see that there is a path around the spikes. When my vision is blacked out, I never make it to any sort of destination - the audio queues aren't enough for localization and a speedrun across the spikes has me impaled before I reach anywhere to level up.
I love the art style, it's really what captured my eye about this game. I also really enjoyed the timelapse! The mood of the game is spot on and the "over the top" patriotism is a great touch =) I tried to play this game in my browser and I found it difficult to get a "tactile" feel to grabbing the bodyguard and have him intercept the missiles and bombs. Often I'd catch the first one or two missiles and the third or fourth would come so fast that by the time I was about to act it had already passed all three bodyguards and the president's fate was already decided by that time =) Still, great game and thumbs up from me!
I love the look of the tanks and the tracks/trails they leave behind. Very clean and "cute". A tank game like this has always been on my list to make ever since I played one called "Fire Power" (from 1989 =) in 2 player split screen! I was somehow expecting the tank to behave "move forward when pressing forward" and steer left/right (like a remote controlled car). Maybe it would have worked better with the steering for me if I used twin stick thumb controls =) I also liked the audio but I suppose it's been opted out for a reason? Nice and fun, great work!
Hey, thanks for streaming my game, it was fun to watch. I played Suicide Sanctum and I thought it was a very clever interpretation of the theme! I like the idea of sacrificing your player to form new platforms to jump on - don't think I've seen that before so high on innovation for me. I would not have thought about freezing them in midair as you get hit by an arrow because my mind goes "why do they stay in the air??" - but you'd have to go through too many deaths to build up a mound to of corpses so I can see why you implemented such a solution. Fun game, thanks for making it!
I like the built in tutorial, the level design/progression, and the different jump techniques that were introduced. Well done, especially with this being your first jam! See you at LD44 :)
Haha, distorted guitars as you try to dodge a world full of priests, crosses, shining bibles, holy water. That scores high in the Humor category for me =) I didn't quiet understand what triggered the priests to hold up the cross to convert you from a distance. Liked the graphics, audio, and idea. Nice work!
As soon as I see a space game I need to try it. I felt kinda evil ejecting my crew members into space, especially as they make that life draining sound =) I was trying to shoot with the keyboard but it would only work to fire with the mouse for some reason? For a retro game I prefer to go all in keyboard. Nice retro art and suitable sound. I didn't find myself playing for too long but nice effort nevertheless!
I like the glow effect of the art but I also found spatial awareness to be difficult knowing if I was to hit a circle or not. I would have liked to play a bit longer but I have a real problem with motion sickness when it comes to smooth games that have a bit of a lerped camera follow in perspective so I couldn't play for more than five minutes for that very reason. Nice effort though. You can never go wrong with space stuff in my eyes =)
Oh, my... I feel dizzy now =) I got in the zone wrapping packages and I don't know if it's good or bad but I reached a score of 149. I think the repetitive motion back and forth combined with the short looping music is a ticket for me to the nut house, haha. I will dream about this I am sure :) I probably would have liked a more rapid increase of difficulty to cut down on the play time but it did get stressful towards the end. It's fun when you get in a rhythm to get one elf doing package delivery every time he reaches the wrapping station but when you miss you lose that sync. Nice work!
The idea reminded me a bit of "Papers Please" (but I haven't actually played that game but I imagine it was something along these lines). I found it easy to sacrifice some people that had spent 15 years in prison for gang rape and child murdering =) The walk animation was nice and altough I'm a big fan of low poly art I would have liked something rather than the same "naked" humanoid without any coloring but I understand considering the time constraints. In a game like this where there is some diversity of people I would still have recommended trying to go for some variations on the characters still. Clever idea though, let's hope it doesn't become reality in 182 years :)
I like the art and the tactility of the movement and when shooting. The camera shake was also nice. Clever with the idea that you have to sacrifice something with the powerups. At first I thought you had implemented forced Powerdowns which would have been cool too, but your choice is probably more fun to play. Nice work!
The title art in the blog stream brought me to test this game - nice art! I like the idea of a puzzle platformer - first I wasn't sure if I was encountered bugs (you never know for sure with LD games whether it's part of a puzzle or a bug) but I figured it out in the end. I like the mechanic you needed for the spinner to work and I also liked the added "stress" element of the third level. Nice effort! A few more levels would have been welcome, but I understand that level count is tricky.
Am I meant to be able to stack houses on top of one another? I like the shaking of the buildings as they are put under pressure. Neat entry and credits to implementing multiple languages :)
This entry feels really polished - I love the artwork and the sound and the game-play felt solid too. Cool idea with the topics but then I kept failing trumpology - I am not following politics too closely so I kept failing :)
I come from the days of playing Tradewars on the BBSs and this brought back memories to those days. I like the art and the idea of the game but I couldn't allocate enough time to play to determine how well the system and trading worked and how it was balanced. Great work though!
Haha, that was quite amusing. I thought "great tutorial" and then... out of space :) Nice sticking to the theme. I also like how you commented about me trying everything to desperately getting up to the ledge saying that the up key doesn't work. Nice mood to the game, I liked the hand drawn art and the music. The hero felt a bit sticky to the wall, maybe reduce friction? Nice work, and thanks for the laugh :) High humor rating from me!
I like the command centre look and it brings back memories to playing Risk with the world view. The low poly look of the map is nice and it felt quite tactile with UI controls. I was however a bit unsure about the rate at which it diminished. The music was really nice too!
What a clever idea! I used to defrag my HDD often back in the day and seeing a reference to good old Norton brought a smirk to my face :) I would have liked to have played this game in ANSI-graphics for true retro feel, haha! I like the idea of sorting the blocks and it had a pleasing feeling as you got things in order. Fun and great idea - high innovation score from me!
Hi - I have no idea what was going on there =) It looks quite interesting, especially since I'm into space stuff, but I was clicking the mouse and hammering the keyboard like there was no tomorrow yet nothing seems to happen? I wasn't even sure where to look on the screen! Apologies for the lack of constructive criticism here, I will try again to see if I can get cracking =)
Oh, I haven't played a text adventure since the late 80s - was a flash back :) Go west. And I instantly tied to smash that red button only to find out the panel needed "fixing" but "fix panel" came as a surprise to the parser. Fair enough, I'm now searching for the screw driver. I like the humor, "Reality Control Centre" haha. Thanks for making this one :) Good work!
Nice music and interesting idea. At first sight it felt super simple, I took stuff out and placed it, but then I was unable to place items even though it indicated with green that it should be possible so I'm not sure what I did wrong there. Cool stuff and congrats on your entry!
Beautiful art but for some reason my character was never shooting where aiming towards. The bullets would exit at a 90 degree angle to the weapon and I was seriously confused what was going on =)
Nice game even though it has some rough edges :) I like sticking to the classic room feel rather than panning - it's so easy to pan these days that keeping a retro room swap felt very rewarding to play. Nice music too :)
Beautiful game - I really like the pixel art and the game goes well with it! I liked the different items to beam up and it felt polished! I didn't find myself playing it for too long because I got a bit motion sick (problem for me with scrolling games unfortunately). Big thumbs of for you game though - nice!
Hey - surprisingly simple idea and I like it - my kids would love to play this on mobile as they tend to go for games like this. It's funny how simple the controls are yet my brain plays tricks on me so I end up jumping instead of turning even though there are only two input controls :) Nicely done - I like it! I agree with above, this deserves a lot more ratings!
I like this game - well done! The models and graphic was really nice and I especially like the look of the cube/blocks :) It was also a cool solution to have the debris falling down to indicate where it would cave in - something that would be difficult to solve in an isometric game since you are limited to what's above. It felt quite tactile and nice to play. It had special appeal to me because the first game I ever wrote back in the 80s on my MSX Spectravideo was a mine game where you would run out of space but that was because water was filling up so still different :)
Being a tron fan this appealed to me! I liked the idea of "collecting" the squares. My biggest piece of criticism would be the turn-mechanic because I felt lost as the camera warped 90 degrees. I would suggest LERP-ing the camera so yo don't feel teleported :) Nice work!
Hey, I am running into some problems with the HTML5 version - it freezes? I was excited to collect more shopping =)
Hey, I finally got around to testing and rating some games so now I'm here =) I am not so good with games that requires my brain to figure out the controls/mechanics and I'm not sure if I just didn't figure out how to play it or if there were some bugs like mentioned above?
I like the sticky wall control - it makes me want to attempt a more classic platformer too =) I also thought it was fun to see the bullets rack up and the recoil pushing you back! It didn't keep my attention for too long though, I mostly stayed in the corner with the fire button held in spawn killing like a n00b =)
The mood and creep factor with the simple figures, dark level, and especially the sound, had me going for a while! I ended up using up most of my ammo before I finally managed to plant some seeds and by then the zombies got me =) I would have liked to have played a bit longer but some FPS games with smooth movement gets me motion sick and on top of that I am so used to inverse Y axis on the mouse that I kept aiming in the wrong direction =) I would recommend adding a WebGL compile in the future as it will probably attract more players. Good effort and well done!
I will let my kids try this one too - I think they will enjoy the cute art style =) I like the environment but I think the mechanic would benefit from faster physics / higher gravity for some more rapid platformer style controls. Nice entry!
I got stuck after the second challenge, or am I missing something? The audio was really nice - played with headphones and the ambient atmosphere was a nice touch in addition to the audio queues.
Funny that we went for such similar concepts, just switch the gun for grenades in my case, other than that - islands, water, zombies/enemies, golf, and all the rest =) And thank you(!) for implementing inverted Y axis. I liked the shotgun audio sound effect too - was that created from scratch or were some base samples used? Nice work :)
First of all - credits to achieving such a cool retro feel to this game with everything from the raster graphics to the audio voice sample and implementation of road movement. I really like the graphics and the way it captures the past. For me it was way to difficult to master and I didn't really catch the whole outfit switching mechanic although it's probably more obvious than I realize :) Great job!
Nice graphics and it the orbital shooting inward mechanic felt rewarding, I found it difficult to contain the outbreak though (and that's when still doing a correct diagnose). My patience for reading is notoriously bad, however, so I found it difficult to maintain interest. That's probably nothing wrong with the game, just my own attention span =) Great job!
Haha, lately I've played a lot of Roblox with my children and they love games where you just click to grow/evolve - I try to join them but a few hundred clicks in my patience runs out :)
Hey, I want to try this but I have no friends around and it was too tricky to try to play both controls myself - mind warp :) I will try again if someone joins me. I can see it being a fun social experience because gone are the days of single computer multiplayer it feels like. I like the idea of combining turn based by alternating turns but still having stuff to do for both players at all times.
Looks and sounds nice! What format are your graphic objects in - is it bitmap or some form of vector? Looks and scales really good. I like the rotating planet mechanic but would like to have some physics velocity momentum of the hook for some reason, I found myself dragging it a around a fair bit. Although I like the look of the game I didn't find myself playing it for too long but very possibly because it's not the type of genre(s) I usually fall for. Nice work though - really solid and polished!
Artwork is really nice, it really caught my attention! Clever combination of genres although the gameplay didn't maintain my attention for too long, maybe because I want to race these beautiful cars as a more traditional Amiga "Super Cars" game =) Wonderful job though!
Hey, I got here from your comment and fun to see another golf game in this LD for sure =) I really liked your entry. Your came feels really solid, nice with the blitz dash option and the action nature of the game. I also like the zoom in to aim as you get close to the ball - I think I may implement that style for my post-version of my game since aiming is difficult in my game. Over all, great effort and well done!
I like the retro art and the game reminded me of the good old days of MUDs and text based descriptions of what you see. I found the controls and general movement a bit stale and it didn't feel too aligned with jumping onto platforms etc. I also had some issues with not being able to inspect/enter, X key had no effect. Aren't the cats supposed to damage me btw? =)
Clever combo of genres! As a fan of Tetris and Mount Everest expeditions I had to try this game :) Nice with the RPG elements, I didn't make it to the top yet due to lack of stamina. What is the logic for the path offered after each round?
The pace increased quite quickly and it quickly entered panic mode for me but somehow trying to keep the coffees on the belt to slow it down. I only reached about 150 and the "playability "of it lasted a few rounds for me. The smooth scrolling of the belt made me motion sick but I wouldn't worry about that because now days a lot of games have that effect on me =) There were some UI issues when starting the browser version in compact mode so you had to go to full screen to see the text. Also, the visual sorting of the first box placed it behind the belt but as new boxes came they sorted correctly.
I think it could be fun to play but I did run into the mentioned problems with sticky keys and character movement a lot. Even after respawning my guy would just keep moving and leap off the edge like it was a diving contest =) I love grabbing the double weapons though, quite pleasing to unleash on the oncoming horde =) Nice work! Oh, the menu doesn't work well in the windowed version, the yellow text overlays the bright parts and start button. Great job!
Nice art and suitable music. The game is bound to make you think and I guess it's impossible to balance it out(?) which makes you think about the situations that are going on at the moment. I did spot a potential bug. Someone came along and a bunch of refugees went with them, but it still said we were a party of 5 although we were 4 at that time. For someone as impatient as me a fast forward key would have been nice, but then again, I don't think the game was designed with that in mind which is understandable.
Like the look of this game, it really caught my attention and the "choppy" animation style suits it very well, very dynamic and expressive movements! Keeping track of the controls became a bit too much for me so I quit in frustration as I was trying to eat, wipe sweat and drink at the same time and mixing up all the keys totally =) Nice game though. Super cool with the people cheering on :)
I like this game a lot! Graphics and "physics" feels spot on and the sound effects suited the game well. We went for a similar take of the theme - collecting in a bag which affects your performance to run and jump. I learned a lot from your game and will keep that in mind when I attempt platformers in the future. In just a short period of time you had me/us dodging many different obstacles and weapons. I like how you managed to create so much content and place it well during the limited time. I also like your attention to detail, e.g. the little spirit/ghost as you die. I found it somewhat tedious to run all the way back to the drop treasure here pad but at least you could leap out of the window on the way back. Keeping track of highscore would have been nice too. Great effort, really well made!
Looking at the video the swinging looks so easy, but I couldn't get the hang of it. I either retracted too fast or swung to rapidly to lose any fruit I had. I did managed to jump around in the air a fair amount by jumping on the actual fruit I had gathered - I don't think it's designed to allow that though? =) I love floating islands so that part I enjoyed.
I reached 38 and I couldn't clear the junk food fast enough at that stage to filter out the healthy stuff =) Some of the item's down by the time bar I couldn't grab, the raycast collider was preventing it I think? You mentioned the asset store for models, but what about the music? I thought it was cheerfully suitable for the game.
Hey, neat game. I reached 11 "Spacetime Traffic Guard". In the beginning I thought I could only set the red lights instead of toggling them (even though it literally says "toggle" - so the first few levels I just sat there and waited for 2-3 minutes. A "time acceleration" button would have been handy. I like the visual appeal and the game feels stable and I couldn't spot any bugs which is great! Not sure on the replayability of it - maybe with some more variation to the graphics and mechanics with crosswalks, road works, etc. would increase the urge to play more. Also, I set the speed limit zones but nothing appeared to happen to the traffic?? Great effort!
Hey, I didn't see that coming - the cactus stretching to prick my bird :) I like the art style and simplicity a lot. Pleasing to flap the bird into the sky. Maybe a bit too friendly (easy) in the beginning and restarting from the beginning after reaching a few levels up is a bit discouraging (hmm, my game suffers from that I realize since I have the same element of design). Nice game, I like it!
Hey, first of all, I love the music! That was a 5/5 for me :) Even though I like pixelart, this may be a bit too monochrome and pixely for my liking. Some more time spent on the art would probably benefit the game a lot. At first, I lost interest quite quickly but I decided to give it another go after I died a few times and then it became quite fun. My best score was 1750 (which is probably terrible) and my tactic turned out to be to get a few pieces of food at and run back to stockpile it in the cave. I only collected enough to maintain speed to outrun my angry followers in the forest on my way back to the cave =) I found that eating and carrying too much made me too slow to succeed in getting back to the cave so in that sense it's totally in line with the theme. I like the idea of a map as well - at first I tried to see a "you are here" indicator but after a few rounds that wasn't needed. I also think it was good that you pointed out about the controls so obvious in the menu =) So, to summarize: Great music (!), quite fun game to play, not so great graphics. Great work though!
I like the visuals - I wish full screen would work with WebGL (I tried chrome and edge, I get the same with my game). Any chance of publishing a windows downloadable as well? I think it would be a smoother experience and it feels like the kind of game you want silky smooth when you play. Nice work!
Surprisingly hard, I often ended up missing the timing on the jumps and landing face first into a wall =) Good on completing the game. The drunk effect was smooth - is that a shader you've made?
I collect batteries but my power isn't increasing so even though I got 10 power cells I still just run out of power to game over. I red that you need to train the robot to do everything (including picking up batteries) but I don't know how =) Looks quite nice though!
The ship looks nice, too bad you didn't get to finish it. Like previous poster I also liked the music. Hope you get around to participating in LD40 too!
I am a father of three and just looking at my kids growing up and my parents growing old and this game really makes you think. You did a wonderful job to put it together both visually (love the pixel art style), music, and with the diversity of game mechanics. I laughed at times, for example for the toilet aiming as it's very similar to what I go through with my son who wakes up at night and I have to twist and turn him to steer, just like that, for him to hit the toilet. Falling over when walking as a senior also made me smile and I realized why with the friendly message that I should walk slower because my knees are too weak. At the end, walking through the field of flowers towards the grave made me stop and think even more about life's different stages and where we will all head in the end. So thanks for this experience and for putting this game together. It reminded me to continue to treasure all moments in life as much as possible!
I really like the art style, pixelart and mood is great! I kept trying to find a jump key and I wanted to hurt the ghosts somehow but I failed to do so =) Someone should take a look at those street lights as well, they break very easily! =)
I like the blue/cyan and magenta combo, been a fan of that since the CGA days =) The music was also fitting the visual theme. As for the game play, it sort of pushes on the fears that I have of using an electric car my self, feeling the panic about running out of juice! I was missing reverse gear and some radar like ability to know where to look for batteries. Over all, nice effort though and congratulations on making the game!
I am impressed by this game and I having not played very many platformers myself (yet loving the genre) I learn quite a few things from your entry. The mechanics and feel of movement and jumping is nice (it did take me a few seconds to figure out about holding Z though, and I kept forgetting which was firing and which one was jumping as I was reaching for space to jump constantly =) Also about the subtle and classic pixelart feel of the character mmovement, the little dust pufs, the breathing animation, etc. Felt great! The artwork and music was matched the game mechanics perfectly and it felt polished. I did reach a point where the tutorial said hold Z for strong fire, which I did, but I couldn't blast through the rocks or rocket jump over the spikes in that room so I'm not quite sure if I'm missing something or if it's a bug. What engine/tools did you use to make the game?
Whey, I am super impressed by the simplicity of and fun level of this game. It was hard to get started and I kept scoring 0, 0, 0, then 0... then 560 after a miracle run =) A couple of things come to mind: It would have been nice to either be able to switch gravity with mouse button (since "restart game" requires mouse interaction) or alternatively if you could simply restart with "space" so you don't have to reach for the mouse over and over. I also think that getting some score straight away would increase the incentive for people that find it hard to play. Graphically and sound wise (especially music) could see improvements but I score this very high overall, innovation, theme and fun =) Great work and congratulations on your successful LD game release :)
Edit: I forgot to say that the name rocks too!
Easy to get right into and I thought the difficulty level felt balanced. I managed to achieve 38, not sure if that's good or bad =) The concept reminds me of the very first computer game I ever tried which was on a text only mainframe machine (the size of a room) which was at my dad's workplace. You had to shoot boats from the bottom of the ocean and it was very similar mechanics but using console text characters =) Nice work with your entry!
I like the concept of having too much power and that you need to get rid of some of it by just bursting energy waves - that's a first I think =) The mood of the game was nice but (as you mention in the text) the game-play is a bit slow. I had 2 baddies left but I couldn't find them, maybe they were behind a house out of view? I was wondering why people were sliding around on their backs as well until I realized that the baddies hurt the goodies! I accidentally killed some people by trying to jump, which of course set of the energy burst instead :)
Very nice game indeed. I like the graphics, level design, level progression (and the built in tutorial billboards). I thought the controls were nice and responsive but when turning around the camera quickly offset which causes problem for me for two reasons, first of all i get a bit disoriented but more importantly I get motion sick unfortunately. If pressing left/right just to turn the character would have benefited if the camera didn't do the quick pan for me (but that's a minor thing in the scheme of things =) Cool that you added and intro as well and I liked the jump animation and the platform. The audio was also good! For your skybox in the intro, you may want to change from "wrap" to "clamp" for the textures to remove the lines along the box edges. Congratulations on making this game - it's a solid platformer :)
This is my favorite game that I've played so far. Looks very nice and managing the tasks and power generators are very rewarding. I did have to read the tutorial a couple of times and at first I thought I was meant to distribute power generators to the actual buildings, but after I declared myself stupid and tried again I realized how it worked and I went from being confused to having a lot of fun. Very innovative and it felt balanced! Great work :)
The title and screenshot attracted me to the game but I failed about 10 times to even exit the hangar without getting destroyed by the asteroids which sort of drained my own power to keep trying. What was the purpose of enabling/disabling steering? I would probably have preferred a AWSD always on method to steer but maybe I'm missing some crucial point about the challenge of the game =)
For someone like me, who thinks that one frame comics contain too much text to read, this was a bit text heavy for me. That probably says more about me than the game though =) I like the comical side of the simulations but I wasn't sure how I could actually make decisions to balance the power bars. Good work though!
Funny to see this idea come to life, I've been thinking about type command move/attack game for some time so I was excited to try this =) The hints on typing commands on this page was essential, I was trying to type e.g. REMUS FIRE 1 1 but I realized I had to type the target name. I like the retro green grid look as well, nice job =)
I completed the level and would have liked to continue as I reached the level exit fairly fast. I ran out of shots early and then I just made a mad dash through the level so it could do with some more balancing but I understand that under the time constraints it's difficult to get that just right. The menus looked very primitive too, but again I understand your priorities =) Nice dark mood and it felt fairly responsive to the controls. Nice work and congratulations on your entry.
Nice work! I was planning to have solar power on my robot too but I couldn't quite think of how to put it together but I think your method of shadows, including having them animated was very clever. I had a couple of goes at first thinking that I died even though I was in the sunlight, but that was the robot and not the solar panels that were in the light so I realized I needed to look at the avatar shadow instead to make sure that the solar panels were always lit. I like the low poly look and the "lonely feel", just like in the movie =)
I got the feeling of "Myst" if you ever played that game =) I was searching for the stationary star but my odd senses make me motion sick when I look at smooth panning/rotating items so I was unable to locate it before I had to pull the plug. Mouse control would have helped me to play longer because it's the slow smooth panning that gets me. I love space and stars so the idea of star night sky appealed to me!
Sometimes it was easy to choose, sometimes it was hard. I would hate to make real life decisions like that which is why I am happy that we are making games instead =) Makes you think!
I like the game. I like the round intermission power ups - I strongly favored recharge rate mainly because I was missing indication on when the weapon was ready to fire =) I felt my stress level going up each round too, haha. Scoring would be nice as well for "replayability" as I always want to do better each time I play. Nice work!
Off to a start but it was difficult to play as I fell through geometry a bit and it was hard to jump (low gravity?) and predict where I would land.
I tried the compo version (since I did the compo myself) and it feels like an interesting start to a game. I can imagine with more content in the shop to upgrade attack and defense and increasing opposition and rewards it could be some playability in there. Keep it up!
A lot of clicking to get started for someone who is as impatient as me =) But after the first day I managed to please the guests for a few days before they got "miffed" and left - nobody else cared to stay after that! Is it difficult to balance games like this? I don't have any experience playing or making management games but I got a feeling that the logic is in place.
Great graphics and nice content with animated characters. Maybe end waves before timer runs out when all enemies are eliminated - there were some periods of waiting. Nice game!
I like the retro raster graphic effect =) The audio was also nice and I found the sound effects especially gratifying. Game-play wise I was a bit frustrated that I was left in situations where I had no choice but to take hits (simultaneous incoming balls from 180 degree split) but then again the health was generous so I guess that was part of the game. I got menus up and even though I had enough points neither LMB or RMB made anything happen. Nice work!
I like the graphics and clever to just shrink the characters to make the room into an entire level =) Unfortunately I couldn't play so well because I desperately need Invert-Y axis for mouse from 20 years of FPS gaming.
A lot of coding went into this game I see and understandably so. I found that the graphics and music fit the game very well. I was a bit confused at first but it didn't take long to get in to it. When I filled up my inventory I wasn't quite sure what to do, the difficulty may not have ramped up fast enough? Cool concept to update a quadrant as well.
I like the idea of this game and it looks nice considering the time restrictions. I was missing some sounds, even primitive ones, but I understand that it may have not been prioritized. I would probably to suggest maybe some faster pacing as I was playing for some time without feeling the ship was in too much danger (even though there were plenty of ! to fix.) Maybe some alerts of prioritized repairs, e.g. power source or shields would work? Nice work!
Your title screenshot (I was a doom fan back in the day) caught my interest from the moment I saw it on submission day and now I got a chance to test it out. Unfortunately I could only play less than a minute because I nearly instantly got motion sickness from the combination of smooth rotation, intense perspective and billboard-style facing objects. I tried to interact with a few of the to find the poster but had to exit before I felt too sick (I suffer from games like Minecraft too.) Interesting idea for sure though and in my mind you nearly stuck to the theme with it being rooms but multiple rooms instead of a single one. Nice work!
Just like in my day-job =) Infected about 10 people when testing the game - as you said, no winning/losing or objective to try to beat which probably limits the time you spend playing the game a fair amount.
Interesting idea of interacting with the room and that the character was 2D with the room itself being 3D. I didn't understand what do do though. I rotated and clicked back and forth and some of the pots fell down but the last pot (on the shelf closest on the screenshot) refused to move no matter how much I tried to click, swiped, rotated, etc. I had to leave with "1 clickable object" remaining. How are you supposed to interact with the objects?
I can imagine this is fun if you become good at it, or if you understand it better than I managed to. I read the instructions before I played. I tried twice and the speed and transparency and lack of tactile feel of selecting objects made it difficult for me to understand what to do. I re-read the instructions and tried another couple of times and then I managed to select and stack a few items and noticed how it started to collapse in places. Still, it was too steep of a curve for me to maintain interest. I really liked the visual feel and the rotation and isometric style was really nice. The music is great too! I think I would need a tutorial video =)
Nice to set the mood for Christmas with the theme, music, and graphics. I always love pixel art and the idea of doing the gifts in 3D was an interesting twist but at the same time that removed some of the feel that pixel art brings to the table such as a hand crafted piece of art. My brain likes to stack and sort things so it was pleasing to place the items on the grid. I was hoping that a full grid would send the packages out the door so I could stack a new batch but I ran out of space at a score of 600 and 1 block left empty on one of the grids. Nice work, I enjoyed playing it!
Reminded me about Sid Meier's Covert Ops and it was nice to see the total top down 2D view. I thought the sound was implemented nicely too, subtle but clean effects that fit the game well. Whoever responded to my behavior with the shotgun sure was fast and had awesome aim - even shot me through walls =) Finally, I can see the comedy in this (I could have done something similar in the past) but I also tragically relate this to how some people actually feel and act - still, that can be made into a game of course!
Haha, I love this game =) Very nice pixel art. Great sense of humor. I've never been so eager or stressed to clean toilets. Only thing I could think of to improve is to make it more clear which tool you have in your hand at the moment.
I managed to leave the house but as I came back in ("what the" =) I was trying to leave again but it told me to get the keys which I still had in my pocket. Did I miss the point maybe? =) I liked the blocky feel and the third person view.
Hey, nobody was picking up when I dialed 911 =) Like how this brought some memories back from the era of point click adventures. I tried the numbers that I could find on the level to open the door but was unable to. I also tried some obvious ones like 1337 etc. I need to have another stab at it. The music had a bit of a repeat on it so it would have been nice if it had been just a tad longer. Liked the comedy of the updates still installing as you woke up :) Nice work!
I tried it, and then I tried it again. Read the instructions. Tried it again. It kept telling me I got bored so I stopped =) Not quite sure I got it, maybe because I haven't played fruit ninja. Fun twist with the music :) I have to hand it to you that you stuck to the theme very well though.
Nice work! I got started and it's been a long time since I played story driven games with character text communication (back in the mid 90s was the last time =) so it was fun but I also became a bit impatient (but probably because I am a slow reader.) The progression and connection with the story was clever and gradual introduction of new tasks was kept to a good pace. I fell off the blocks for the first navigation part a few times but it was never too tedious to retry and I wanted to see what the next day would bring. The timed challenge was a nice touch as I reached the corner with 1 second to spare after some wrong moves.
I reached day 13 and as I was playing on the ducks I warped into the blocks (presumably physics pushed me past the collider.) I couldn't get out from the block and was not able to get past the bath balls as I was still stuck. I can imagine it takes quite some time to get the sentences and timing them with triggers as you progress in the game. Again, nice job!
I had a go at the game and I was wondering how to get the engine running on the plane until I remembered the name of the game; LittleCopter =) I read the controls and got started and flew away. As I launched into the air it was difficult to know how much to steer since the zoomed in view made me navigate in blind so I ended up in the water most of the time. Maybe less "leap of faith" tactics would have kept my interest to play the game a bit longer. Nice work putting it together!
I whipped them and they rebelled. I restarted. I whipped them and they rebelled =) I couldn't get a sense of how my tweaking parameters affected the build speed, or even what some parameters meant, but I guess the task is to identify that in the process of adjusting? Maybe not graphically the most polished thing but it's a complete game which is great.
Nicely done =) I enjoyed the time travel aspects, especially as it varied with water. I found the three items, but I could not find where I was supposed to exit the tombs. I spotted some minor layer sorting issues where his legs would be covered by the path he was running on etc. - other than that it was solid. Like the music too :)
Simple and fun. I like the fact you can't jump as it adds to the challenge. I scored 299 - when I re-read the rules that left-right arrows attack =)
LD48 — Deeper and deeper (3)
Monster Tower by LungTakumi 2021-05-02T11:45:37Z ♥ 1
I enjoyed playing this game :) Funny to have a game where you go down platforms instead of the traditional going up. I found myself having a good time as I dodged the boss flames and tried to time the leaps! Good job! A few things, it would have been cool if the camera followed the player somewhat more direct - I found myself sometimes falling out of the screen like a leap of faith and sometimes I was lucky enough to survive by a platform off screen :) I like the mechanic of the different platforms spin/bounce/spikes and the enemies. The style of that lava monster is familiar!
Edit: Oh, my score was 50 btw, maybe not so high :)
The Mystery of Stalore-9 by Arthur Mairs 2021-05-02T11:36:59Z ♥ 3
Hi, I've never attempted to do a 1st person entry for LD - like the amount of content you got in once you got down into the different underwater stations. I had some issues were my screen go back, was that because I died or was it a glitch? I was reading the captains log for example, and then it went black - but then I noticed I had some leeches behind me that I took out so I assume they killed me when I was reading? :) I didn't have enough time to play it properly but nice job on your entry!
Blue Eye - Salvage & Rescue by PurpledArtFrog 2021-05-02T11:26:53Z ♥ 1
Hi, nice job! I play on a superwide (3440 x 1440) so just a heads up that the menu items at the main menu were getting a bit cut off - but it didn't cause any problems. I like the 2D graphics and the mood - and that you could change the speed of the game during gameplay. Also good with the warnings of seismic activity, but quite often I got hit by a boulder to take me out and it felt like I couldn't avoid it in time. Did I also see sinking whales after the seismic activity? :)
