A very lovely tower defense game! The game was kinda easy and didn't offer much of a challenge, but it was still really fun! I was not one for some of the art and colors, but that is just me. Everything felt nice and fair. Nice submission!
Interesting rou\nd based game. Had some fun. Lagged a little bit and it caused some trouble. Art was lacking, but concept and gameplay was fine.
Me: What is GOING ON
Me 10 minutes later: PHHHH PIECE OF CAKE!
Fun game that is let down by static art. However, the game play is still fun and theme is still there. Good job!
Such a cute game! By grabbing a rock and flailing my arms I HAVE ACHIEVED VICTORY!!! I had a lot of fun playing this game. Physics and animations led to a really fun time. As a result, a very fun game!
This game blew me away. The game felt really nice and I love a good "bullet hell" kinda theme here. The power and responcive weapons really had another layer of fun to killing the enemies. Movement was fluid and art looks really nice. I agree with some of the comments above when they say the foregroud and background blend. It can get hard to separate the two while playing and cause a little strain on my eyes.
I can't get the web emulator to work
From the start I was a little skeptical on how well this game would be and to my surprise was a calm yet exciting experience. The platformer feel in open space left a calm and relaxing feel to the game. Along with that the music and traditions were really well done! Art was cute and enjoyable, but has its draw backs. Really nailed the ending and I had a fun time playing. An awesome submission dude.
Issue: Static feeling art.
A SUPER FUN and well polished (art wise) platformer. I can play a game like this for a long time
One problem is you can easily get stuck in the floor and sometimes can't get out of. Other than that, movement felt good and my experience was better
Art was really nice and the theme fit nicely. Plants were nice and bright, which helped it really stand out! Game played well, but had some difficulty to it. Definitey a good one!
I'm suprised this game doesn't have more reviews! the game plays well and more importantly. ITS FUN! The concept with zombies and people spray on your fire is weird but enjoyable. The difficult spike is BIG, but that's just more of a challenge for me ;D. Thanks for making such a fun game!
The game is really hard, but fun. Audio is really fantastic and hits the theme with a new twist. Really great jobe here.
The game was a load of fun! A little difficult near smaller jumps/platforms, but still a lot of fun. Loved the lighting effects! Adds a lovely touch to the game. Movement felt good and comfortable. Nothing really to be mad about. A really fun game!
Very interesting concept with lovely art. A little challenging, but not too bad. Good job. (LOVE THE ANIMATIONS)
Art was fun and scenes were entertaining. It is hard to gain much. It's mostly slowing down the inevitable. Game looks and functions well though good job!
I think this game is an almost perfect re-run/copy of the actual game. It's funny it's enjoyable and it has its' own traits (enturnal loop so you can see how many times you lost XD). Kinda unique type of endless runner and executed very well. This is one of my favorites I've seen so far! Great work.
The art was good and gameplay was alright. It was not clear what we were supposed to do. Also, some of the movement felt like I was on ice skates. It was enjoyable as a puzzle game, but other than that I'm not to sure. Cool Idea!
This was definitely one of the best I've played. I got a lot of FNAF and ET vibes from this game! Strategizing was a must and you constantly have to keep moving from room to room privatizing each move to your advantage. Only thing that was a let down was that the art was static feeling which kinda brought down the immersion. Nonetheless, a really good jam submission!
There are a lot of games with this sort of idea, BUT this one really hits the spot. Idk, it really was just a fun experience. Art was the biggest highlight of this game. Had a good laugh tapping to the beat (even though it was a little flawed, it was still a ton of fun).
Game looks really fun XD. The deaths were not held back a bit. Definitely put a smile on my face. Need some info on controls as it was kinda confusing to understand at first.
I really loved the game and its art. Art is such a big thing in these jams and OH BOY did you hit the spot. Really nice and fluid! Some sound effects got annoying fast, but that's minor. Took some time to understand basic controls, but after that it was natural. Really great submission.
3d models are cute and move/function well. Hits the theme pretty good. Overall, pretty fun.
Yeah this game is great. Firstly, SOUND TRACK! It was amazing how well it fit the game. Gameplay wise, it was fine and entertaining. This is definitely one to be playing and taking notice of. Fits the theme, pixel art was nice. can't really see what's wrong with it.
This game was awesome! A really fun spin on a relatively popular concept. Art was really visually pleasing! Definitely a big plus. Game play reminded me of type racer XD. A real fun typing game that puts a lot of incentive on being fast. Nice Submission!
The game itself is confusing at first (it just throws you in there to utterly fail the first time around), but you keep playing... and playing... and playing. Until you reach a point where you can get a good score. Sounds were good, but I think having a sound track play in the background would have been nice. Good job!
I can't give an accurate rating until my problem is fixed. I cant use the tracto beam.
I think the way the game works and feels is really fun and enjoyable. However, I feel like a skip option would greatly increase entertainment and fun (my monkey brain can't sit through the long cut scenes). Game pla\y overall was very fun. Good Job!
My 3rd 5* rating. A great game with fun interactions and tasks. Animations and cutscenes were cute and it matches the theme. Very good job!
This was an amazing concept! I love the art and music along with the puzzle/platformer mix. This game is polished and is well made. The little story hits the theme very well. This is one of the best games I've played so far. Good job!
I think this would be an all 5* if the art didn't feel a little static. The game itself is well made and gives the player a lot of free will to do as he/she wants to win. A really fun "chess-like" concept and really hits the theme of this jam. Did not find anything game breaking so kudos to you!
A nice little farming sim that gave some layback down time ;D. Everything works and plays well. Only thing is some weird looking pixel art that kinda ruined the feel (Textures). Other than that, the game was really relaxing and enjoyable! great job!
That was really interesting. The goal of "rebuilding" the king was interesting. A nice concept of "keeping it alive". One thing that set me off was awkward, but it was understandable (and I can't judge as some creators do not speak English). The A.I. is hard to read and seems random so completing a level is sometimes impossible. I do like how losing rearranges the map so each experience is different. Art looks cute and feels good and progress is fine.
I think this game is very interesting, but requires a lot of time. The manual was really overwhelming in the amount of things you're required to do. It's crazy how you managed to fit all these interesting mechanics in with just three days. In turn, this creates a bigger game that requires more time. Unfortionately, some people are turned away by this due to is size. I have a small understanding and I'm able to last a little bit (after skimming through the manual). I feel like a hands on tutorial would have been better for a game like this to help the player through learning the mechanics of it. Nonetheless, the game was fun and the art felt nice. A very interesting idea that hit the theme pretty well and in a unique way. Great submission!
Very simplistic and fun game. I personally don't like the way you have to put the sticks in the fire. It makes it kinda hard. I do like the pixel art and gameplay allowed for some quick fun.
EVERYTHING IS NOT OKAY! THE GAME IS SOOO NICE! GRAPHICS PERFECT. GAMEPLAY. PERFECT. DOGGO AND COFFEE... UNIQUE!!!!
Really nailed the theme here. Game was fun. I TRIED TO KEEP THEM ALIVE BUT WHO KNEW JUGGLING BETWEEN 5 PLANTS WERE HARD!! A little on the stranger side, but made for some laughs. Art was enjoyable and seemed polished. Great game simple concept :thumbsup:
This is now a real certified bruh moment. This is my first all 5* rating! I was so happy to find this game. Mechanic is fun and smooth. Art was so cute and adorable. Got to stage 8 no problem, but past that was difficult. Really hits the theme spot on and is so much fun!. Great Job!
The concept of the game felt on point and stellar. A really good job. Really pleased to see some platformers in this jam as I couldn't find too many.
My concerns: The game's player physics is weird and the art of the player felt static (this does need time, but I wanted to point it out anyway)
Mixed feelings. Game Felt really good all except for attacks. It's unclear if you hit or whiff your target! I feel like the hit box is none existent. The theme of the game is perfect and I had fun trying it out. Good job
First off: I loved tomogatchi as a kid so this was an immediate eye grabber! The concept was really funny and I got a good laugh out of it. Gameplay was enjoyable and has a lot of replayability. I JUST WANT TO KEEP MY BUDDY ALIVE!!!
DANG IT MARIA YOU DISTACTED MEEEEEE
This game really works and feels great! I Love circling the map drifting rather than playing the game XD. Doesnt mean the main game isn't fun though. Fits the theme well and adds to it with great art work. Love what you guys did!
Problems: Sometimes the controls don't register (arrow keys... this may be due to my laptop being old, but I'm not too sure). Not enough time to save patients. NEEDS a baby mode for me
Art looks nice, but it seems to be taken from free assets. Nonetheless it is used nicely. The wave's seem to\ be fair, but the dragon's food bar depletes quickly. Theme is cute and hits the mark with "keep it alive". Good job! No bugs to be found.
Very impressed! A nice graphics with a chilling kinda mood! Love the adventure category and I think you did yours very well! Great submission, no complaints
This was a really fun endless runner type feel. Nice goals to reach and items to grab. Along with two modes to play. Really good job. OH AND MUSIC, LOVELY
THIS GAME MAKES ME GO YES! The quality of control is amazing! Im so glad I found this. Pixel art and control reminds me of Mario Kart Deluxe for the gameboy SP and the it easily hits the theme. 100% no doubt my favorite so far. Only complain, THE DANG GHOST BEATS ME! AHHHHHHHHHHH! Replayablility is a certainty. Great job with this one.
The game's concept was very well thought out, but art is static and it's a huge let down. The idea is similar to water boy and fire boy. Music is a must for a platformer like this. Puzzles were very fun to track through and beat. Some minor bugs, but all is well.
A really nice game that plays well. It seems to\ get difficult pretty fast, but others seem to like the scaling so maybe its just me. Arrows move real fast and are hard to predict as the come out of nowhere with no warning. The game was fun and quite addictive. Music sounds nice and wacky, but didn't really fit the theme to me. The game matches the theme pretty well, but the biggest killer to me was the static feeling art. I love me some smooth feeling animations. Other than that, Great job on your submission!
This game FEELS a lot like Dumb ways to die and feels just as good! You guy did awesome with this. Art felt a little repetitive, but fine nonetheless. Progression felt fair and normal (which many games struggled to do in this jam). I definitely had fun with this one.
High score: Round 15
A really nice concept and smooth movement. The baby dropping mechanic really added a little something to this "endless runner" category. I had a lot of fun playing!
A very cute game created with a very simple package! Loved the cube dog and simple yet hard to scale terrain. Made for really fun and fail experience that felt and played very well. Great submission. AND I LOVE THE DOG CUDE! XD
A very simple game that works with the theme. However, the only problem was the controls are delayed. Besides that the game play is fun and cute. Really good
Really Lovely game you got here. The idea of having two games in one was smart and well executed. I would have liked to see better UI and simpler controls, but that is just me. Art was nice and animations inside the ship were good as well. A good concept.
The art was cute and the audio really complimented it! The game is hard, but I think a challenge is always good. The only let down is the hyper-casual game style. Nonetheless, the quality of which it was made is a total eye catcher. Really good job!
Who new taping a screen would be so hard? It's a funny little game with destructions I personally don't have time for because of THE SNAIL. MUST.... LOVE..... SNAIL!
A really visually pleasing game! Nice little catching game. Im not really sure what the bats do though. Some indicator would be nice! The UI looked kinda weird and the scaling was off. The game hit the theme well and was enjoyable. Good submission!
The theme is not all quite there. Gameplay is quite fun, but gets repetitive quick. Not much of difficulty to it and I think you could make it pretty fun and hard. Not too much bugs so no complaints
This is definitely a 5* rating! Art is there, the theme, game is fun. Everything works together in a fun and enjoyable way. My only concern is that the enemies attacks are hard to read making it hard to dodge. Other than that, the game plays well and feels good. Great Job!
Cute little game with graphics that really compliment what you're going for
The game itself is fun, but doesn't have much things to do. The idea behind the game was very, very good with matching the theme. art is a little stiff, but was fine. Everything seems to be working as intended. Good job!
Game is fun, but feels a little hard. You get overwhelmed very quickly. The concept was very nice and it felt as if it separated itself from other tree related entries. Nice submission!
Love how the game works and plays. A real nice feel and the art stands out! Nice dark mood really hits the spot on this one! Gameplay was nice and I had a hit of WALL-E Nasatgia. Nice Submission
Set page to public please and @ me so I can try it
Though the alien theme was pretty weird gameplay was super fun. A nice concept of plant growing (popular in this game jam). I thought Everything felt fair and progression was relatively balanced. I wish there was more things happening (spawns, power ups, etc). Nonetheless, the base game was super fun and enjoy\able!
Fun Idea
Art style is very appealing in this game. I did have to spam some controls to get a better understanding, but if you take some time it is fairly easy to get the hang of. Very fun game!
The art, mood, and theme seem really on point. However, Im not sure if it's a bug, but I'm walking through trees and going from boundary to boundary trying to "find food" to no avail. There seems to be no directions and I get lost easily. It seems fun and interactive, but I can't pass this part of the game.
A very simple game that played very well. My only complaint that it gets pretty difficult very fast (maybe my mouse skills suck IDK). The theme was cute and the art matches it pretty well. Great submission.
This game is really something. The speed at which it plays really puts me in the "speed running" mood and I love it. Any reason to go fast is a good one :smiley: A really good job with level design (except I personally do not like purposely placed dead ends and mazes in a platformer, but that's just my opinion). Art was at a pretty good level and did not feel stiff. Enemies are cute and the idea of a fire being put out is awesome. I think banking on the speed running concept would have been a good move, but again, that's just an opinion. Really good job.
@axeltherabbit Sorry about that. Should have made it harder!
@kjscott Thank you for your feedback!
@zypo thanks so much. Sorry, about the keyboard problem! Glad you liked it!
@lker Thanks for the feed back! I did find it difficult to create a solid system for the battery. Maybe, an update after the jam or a complete rework just for fun.!
For those who have found the REAL ENDING Please do not share it here!
I'm grateful for all the comments, but I'm really dissatisfied knowing people have not found the real game yet. I'll be waiting.... :D
@dugas Thanks for the feed back! I apologize for the short loops (Not to much time to squeeze in higher quality there :C). I see how dodge ball has the most issues, again sorry. I'm glad you found my "secret". Thanks again!
@gaz-ireland @annie-owl @rodpraet Thank you all for your comments! I really appreciate all the support!
@jaacob you and one other person (as far as I know) found the true ending of my game. Congrates! I'm glad you found it.
@julienlussiez @plasmonic Thank you for your feed back and comments!
@adonisdevs thank you for the feed back! it was had to judge how to give and take battery. I also ran short on time to make mini games fun/complete, sorry. IM SO GLAD you liked my mini games though! I wanted it to be hidden or else it wouldn't make sense with the story I tried to build. Im glad more people are finding it and Im even more glad they are enjoying it!
@farbeyond-studio the end of the game is a empty void. At least at first.
Haha! A very fun concept! Lacked in UI, but breaking things was fun and satisfying!
Funny concept with some strange, yet enjoyable gameplay. Quick laught
This game is addicting. I spent 15 or so minutes trying to get better and Better on my timing got about 20 or so skips and then died :c. But the stunning art. I was speechless how amazing it was. The beautiful changing atmosphere was a HUGE highlight on this game. I loved every second I played. No complaints. The fourth game I'm giving 5*'s
I had a really fun time playing this awesome tower defence game! Mechanics felt good and the game's main idea hits the theme well. The difficulty spike was hard, but a challenge is nice.
Only issue to me: None (maybe better UI though It's a little detail, but big results if made very well)
MAMA MIA THEY DESTROYED MY SHOP!
A little challenging with the character sticking to the walls. I liked the idea of a getting over it type game. Music was great and really set the mood for impending doom. The camera seemed to always be where I needed it to be. Good concept, but the controls seems to need a bit of work.
Over all the game was pretty great. Made it all the way to the final cutscene. Music was nice and the gun audio and hitstun was SUUUPER satisfying. However, the fun from this game came from running around killing people with a shotgun. It soon became tedious as I found my self fighting to get the AI aligned with a portal/lazer thing. It kinda spoiled some of the fun. However, that isnt to say I had a blast shooting things up. Definitely had my attention all the way through.
A very unique "combat" concept. The game was fun and had some jaming music to it. One thing I'd say felt like a let down was that gameplay was very linear and that no matter what I did, there was no way to handle the amount of enemies from the get go. Other than that the movement was fun and I enjoy traversing the map trying to hold them off. Screenshot (10).png
This game was a blast to play. A bit difficult at first, but I think I got it down. The scaling seems to be super good here. My only complaint is that there aren't a lot of towers, so the formula for success is rather simple. Otherwise, this is a super great game!
Update: Domination Update2: I dont think I can lose anymore LDJ50 game.png
I could do this all day. enough said.
It was all fun and games until the BIG astroids came. Nice are, boppin music. I'd prefer the game to spike in difficulty a little sooner as it seems like a mindless never ending game, but after about 5 minutes the difficulty did ramp up. Nice submission!
I love games like: "There is no game". I feel like this game accomplished what it was ment for, good laughs while delaying the end of the game. Though nothing really interactive, the dialogue definitely held my attention. I can't believe I am saying this, but I enjoyed clicking the damn button.
I really like the drawing mechanic. Had me playing for quite a while! score.png
I really neat game with CRAZY good art and atmosphere! I think this is the best game visually that I have seen in the jam. Movement of the rover felt very realistic and nice. I think the only downside was that I have come across a lot of rover exploration games already so it doesnt quite feel too unique in that sense. However, the polish bests them all. well done
Who knew scratching your ass could fill you with determination. My only complaint is that I couldn't go the full plumber route (if you can someone tell me). Cant wait to get the full experience with music/etc after the jam. Will try more possibilities later!
Hey a great jam submission! Art really stuck out as the strong point of the submission. Really well done there. The audio seems a little out of place and generally just a bit too loud. Hit the theme really well and a pretty unique take on the theme. I think the only true downside was the gameplay loop, I just couldnt hold interest for a long period of time.
A fun little game. I got a little greedy and just knocked everyone I could out... oh well it was a fun experience, fitting atmosphere and some appealing art. Well done!
I love the calming music over impending doom. Some simple dumb fun. Love the submission.
Please share your scores! I'd love to see them! Let me know if anyone beats my score (currently number 1 with 90756 points)
EDIT: SOMEONE BLEW IT AWAY WITH A 202341 YOOOO! -EDIT2: I've been completely taken off the top 5. You people are crazy. Well done.
Edit 3: for those wondering how scoring is done: (It is easily cheeseable and can be manipulated) totalScore = 1000 + ((1 + laps) * (10000 / (fastestLap)) * (1 + totalPickUps) / 5)); If fasted lap = 0 you just get 1000 btw, you cant break anything
@billnotic This may be due to a missed check point. Otherwise, it's a bug we missed. Thanks for playing!
@savolae well done! I can't believe I'm being bested at my own game.
Super fun and simple, but I REALLY SUCK! An interesting concept for a endless arcade type game.
At testament to my jitter clicking days in minecraft. I got about 4/5 on screen at once before it was too much for me. Was simple and a lot of fun!
A nice little platformer. Dialogue upon losing was quite funny. Platforming felt relatively smooth too. well done
I have mastered the monkey attack algorithm. I am one with the monkey. Actual review: The game is visually pleasing. Art is done really well and looks great well done. The game was also very fun (though the game play loop draws it out a bit) Music: It is really got some bangers that put me in the monkey mood. (However, whoever made the monkey noises scared the sh*t outta me) Humor: Monkey Theme: A bit standard with the theme, but more or less not bad Overall: A fun game and a good submission. Well done! Screenshot (7).png
Not sure if it's just me, but the site would not load.
@pepper-boi No VPN on me. I just get stuck on an infinite loading screen.Screenshot (9).png
@pepper-boi Chrome
This was a crazy fun experiece. Dialogue after every night kept me playing and got me attached to this game. Every moment with the rover is precious to your survival. I think you hit the theme right on the money!
Only complaint would be that sometime the movement while on the rover got the best of me. Visually my brain assumed i'd move one direction when in reality it would go in some other direction.
