Nice work!! The graphics and music is awesome! The gameplay is innovative but there are some annoying little things like robbers tend to stand at the same spot so in the planning phase I can only select one of them. Also if there are dialogs pop up when they rob people then it will be more fantastic.
Really nice concept!!! Nice work
Basically the game is trial and error and if it provides more information for the player (like navigate around or give information about each action) in the planning stage then it will be better
@Noah Sorry it was a mistake I made. I I already fixed it
@DaVince
Thank you for liking the game :D This is my first finished game since i learned java game programming and the weekend was pretty busy for me but I still managed to put in a lot of hours into making this. I totally agreed with you I could have done more and have more levels. I will continue working on the game after the Jam :)
Great idea and nice graphics!
my 64bit windows 8 can't play either, seems the game is not able to run on 64bit OSes?
The Player1 control doesn't work for me
Nice work finishing the game in 48 hours! However, it seems there are a few problems of this game. It seems that the lamp would last forever instead of go off in 10 seconds because I tested it and the lamp is still on after 30 seconds in my browser. Also the audio is kind creepy when the character touches those dolls ._.
Really Good game!! The game is really polished and the mechanics works really well. Enomerous fun and RIP my mouse... If there are better sound effects then it would be perfect.
Nothing can go wrong with Cat! So cute :3 I enjoyed the game, it wasn't really long and it was fun. There are different skills to explore, gameplay seems a bit repetitive towards the end but the game ends at a good time so overall it was really fun.
Goods: Nice work. It was kinda hard and really fun. Nice graphics and music. Also I like how there are random sentences pop up that make you laugh.
Improvements: should show the specialties of each unit. I just blindly build the units and hope they can kill the enemies and I don't know how are they different from each other.
I really like the graphics and the idea! However I was playing this myself so it was kinda hard because my brain can't control two things together. I thought after summoning the monsters they would automatically find and attack the user and it turns out I need to control it..wish it is done automatically
There are some glitches in the collision detection. I can't walk between parts of the ship sometimes but I really like the graphics, the gameplay is fun and intense. Quite a hard game i must say.
I actually find it quite fun and I played it for a little while. It reminded me of papers please because the stories of people behind it. It gets really hard in the third level though. The clicking slightly not responsive, would be nice to fix that up. Otherwise, nice job!
The graphics is really nice and there was a lot of content in the game! The interface is nice looking but since you can't move them, sometimes they overlap and cause trouble.
It took me a while to realize I need to hold the space bar to collect ammo. I also thought there was a bug in the game because there was no alien coming (did not realize you need to collect 5 ammo first).
However, it was really intense once the alien start coming and it is quite satisfying to pull off a defense. The graphics is nice, the audio is simple but fits the game quite well. GJ!
One of my favorite game of this LD, what an incredible game this is! The graphics is really nice and the idea is fresh and interesting. It is a bit hard in the beginning but I was slowly catching up with the AI. The only issue is that it does not reflect the theme too much (a little but not too much I think). But yea wow that was a great game, well done!
Oh one suggestion, I wish I can place down markers for future reference like what you do in mine sweeper because I can spot multiple planets at once but I have to use my fingers to mark the locations on the screen right now.
would be nice to have single player mode and see how quickly you can find all the planets
Haha i love this game, I laughed in the end when I beat the "unsolvable" puzzle. Great game! The only complain I have is extending wire always accidentally trigger the moving which is pretty annoying.
Nice Graphics! Would be nice if it has more contents!
Hi @DeathPidgeon, thanks for playing my game :) I will play yours later. I wonder in what circumstances your game crashed? I never had a crash on mine. However, with that said I haven't done much play testing though. Again, thanks for the feedback!
@DeathPidgeon Thanks I think I have found the bug. I didn't do null checks for some of the GUI elements and I will upload a fixed version soon
*new version updated*
Thanks for the great feedbacks guys!! I think I need to make a better tutorial for the game considering it confuses everyone :)
Thanks again for everyone's feedback! I will try to improve the UI and tutorial for the post ludum dare edition :)
The music is just awesome, it fitted the game really well. It reminded me of the background music for Tropico. The game is really hard even in challenge mode but it was really fun. The graphics is awesome and yes, nice work indeed :)
The game is really challenging, the idea of switching character is interesting and well executed. The only thing I would complain about is the red character "x" attack, it is kind of hard to aim but that's a minor thing once I got used to the control. Nice work :)
The art and the audio is good, it is not quite related the theme but it is a fun game. The game is a bit hard, if the control is more responsive and the randomly generated levels are more reasonable(sometimes the obstacles are impossible to avoid or the power up is overlapped with them) then the game would be more enjoyable :)
I tried both controller and mouse and I actually found mouse to be a better control for this game because I can rotate the sword faster with my mouse than with the analog stick.
It game looks and sounds fantastic and the game play is interesting. It is challenging at first to get used to the control but once I passed that stage it is quite fun to slice enemies. It gets repetitive when I once I get up from level 1 to level 9 though but getting different weapons at different levels are interesting. Would be better if the swords does something differently or feel different when you swing it. Overall it is a really well done game. It was the game I played the longest since I started rating.
Really lovely graphics and sword fights! I found it a bit hard though may be I'm just not good at it. Would be nice to tell the player they can only take 4 hits because there are no indication for it. Really nice work overall :D
That jump sound was loud! Other than that, it was quite simple but I can see an interesting idea presented. Would be nice if the hit detection was better and have more content but nice job on putting together a game!
Great game! I like the graphics and the jokes and it was an interesting interpretation of the theme. I like it.
Nice Graphics and challenging game play. The story is simple but it was nice. Well done!
The graphics is nice and the bullet has particle effect! The game is pretty fun and challenging, I like the humor you put in the game :) Well done!
WOW it looks great and the atmosphere was wonderful. I'm not sure if I fully understand the story though maybe because the font is really hard to read for me.
Interesting game, it feels like FTL but later on I find it feels more like an interactive novel instead. It is like a novel because you pretty much have no control over the outcome (there was little information on how good/bad a planet is), the choices are pretty much random but I like how your choices will become a unique story for you. The text may need to be re-positioned a bit because it was obscured by the planets. It does give you the fun for purely exploring but it would be better if the player is more informed.
It was an interesting idea! I'm not sure how to earn more money though it seems it is irrelevant to the missile strength or defense? but the AI can keep on firing at me faster and faster and I couldn't figure out how to catch up. It will be nice to display the health of the main building and how things are related. Also the close dialog button sometimes doesn't work.
I finished the first level but when I tried to start new mission, it aid mission finished /or failed instantly. Not sure how to continue playing. (Web + Chrome)
Based on the first level it was pretty fun except the guys keep on shooting at enemies across the wall. But yea it was a solid entry nonetheless. The graphics and music are nice too!
Really fun game except I didn't figure out what the water and electricity system does.
The graphics and audio is really nice! It is a difficulty but fun game nonetheless.
Some instructions for each of the game would be good. For example I wasn't sure how to play the the leave touching game until the second time I tried it.
A really awesome game, the puzzles are clever and the idea of controlling the shadow and flipping upside down is really cool . The first time I play a puzzle platformer upside down :D
One thing that put me off towards the end was the control though. I can't press the jump and move at the same time which makes me died a lot of times and it became a bit frustrating. 10/10 will come back and play it if the control gets better :) Graphics and music is nice btw.
Have to play with myself :( I feel like the game progress quite slowly since the player can't do much and most of time I just wait for the mana to be recharged...
Nice visual and audio! It is relaxing but it is a bit frustrating to try out all different possible combinations.
Graphics is nice but man it was so hard. Also one thing I noticed was you probably did not put sleep() in your drawing thread because once I started your game my laptop fan just went wild which shouldn't consider it was not a computation intensive game.
There was a glitch, when the cat was in the basement, the owner came down and he disappeared so I couldn't continue. Overall it was a fun game with great art style. I like it, Good job!
The first few levels are the same, at some point I thought your game wasn't finished and the levels are just repeating. Try remove the duplicated levels. You can also walk through the gaps on the ground? It seem there are some problems with the collision detection?
However, the graphics especially the background is nice as others already mentioned. The audio is quite nice too. Nice work!
The game is quite hard for me but I'm not a platformer person, however, I really love the graphics and the animation. The puzzle is interesting too although it is a bit tricky to work out. Nice work!
Yay I beat the game after failing the jumping part so many times....it was ridiculously hard, I was gonna give up. The graphics is really nice and the game is funny. I like it.
What a nice little game! The concept is simple but the execution is great, music and graphics are very nice. It seems after going to the beach my interest is just fixed at 100 and I only need to eat and work. Quite scary if it is in real life :p. One thing though, since I kept on pressing the space key till the end, I accidentally skipped the ending multiple times so I didn't know if I won or lost, would be nice if it is a different key to skip the ending screen. Overall it is pretty fun, Nice work!
very interesting design and nicely done graphics :) I found the game quite hard though since the level is randomly generated and sometimes when I tried to peek into the other dimension the monster was just next to me and I got killed instantly, feel kind of unfair. I guess the mechanics need to get tuned a bit so that the player is more informed or have more control over the changing dimension.
Another tycoon game :P I made a tycoon game as well. It took me a while to figure out what to do in the beginning, have to read the descriptions in this post. After getting used to it, it gets better. I raided by the pirated tho :( Would be nice to have a button to speed up the game speed because waiting for money to come is a bit boring. Overall nice job!
Pretty interesting game, the dialogues feels genuine, would be nice to see the result of the conversation as an ending rather than having the same endings for different paths.
The control is a bit unintuitive because wasd and space are on the same side of the keyboard. Mouse would be a much better option since the player can have more control of the ship.
With that said the game is actually quite challenging and fun and it gets better after I got used to the control. It feels kind of unfair though when the monster just spawn right next to your guy.
One question, why there is only one people building and the others don't move?
Interesting game play and nice puzzles! The graphics and the music is great!
Cool Game! I love how challenging and clever the puzzles are (from level 5 onward). I spent quite a while on level 6. I think I got stuck because I didn't realize you can push 3 boxes at a time unlike similar puzzle games (like sokoban).
I can definitely see it to be really nice on phone as a casual game with a little bit better graphics and music.
Also it wasn't really obvious that I won (didn't finish reading the descriptions) but yea it would be a nice little puzzle game and it matches the theme quite well.
Nice little game, I managed to finish all the levels! Would be nice to have some music :)
Really challenging and interesting game! On my second try I got up to level 3 and died :( Would be nice to have a way to restart the game after you lose.
Great game with in-depth content and nice graphics + music!
Great entry, it is really fun enough though I played as both players hahah but shooting bananas everywhere is great fun! The game is very polished, I can see that you put a lot of efforts into it. Well done!
Also you included the game twice in the zip file.
It was a very nice and intense game, especially when you alerted the entire house of enemies. Well done. The idea of distortion field is cool, it must be not easy to implement. There are some rough edges in the game like sometime you get stuck in the wall and the map is not large enough. However, consider this is made is 48 hours I would say it is really well done :)
It is a fun game, at first I didn't know what too do but after getting used to it, it became quite fun. There aren't much replayability to the game though, after I beat it once it became quite easy.

Sorry for the noise but ignore the previous two comments since I switched to Dropbox for hosting since Google Drive sucks (hosting didn't work)
I put the links for those two versions in game description.
@jilauper I started with Asia and wanted to make each country a separate sprite but I ran out of time so in the end I just merged all the countries together :(
@FireCamp @AnasAzmi
Thanks for the comments :) the attributes are actually randomly generated :P
@shrimpgunpistolshrimpslingergunnershrimps thanks! Good to know about different projects :D Yea I wanted to add more visual feedback as well, only if I have more time :P
@Bitterdeath change the map color was in my original plan but again, time :(
@headmade resistance is bad, it represents ppl's resistance to your ideology
A very well executed game, even though there aren't much variation on murder mystery itself, it is quite fun to play and the guessing at the end was good, I have to think very carefully about which one to choose. Also the arrow keys don't work for the guessing screen for some reason.
It is quite short, in the end I thought the game was frozen because there was no end screen. It was funny tho, I like it. Good work! Also the graphics was great.
I quite like the graphics, I find those little people adorable. Congratulation on finishing your entry, well done!
Solid game, I love the art style and the music, it was fantastic. One complaint though, using Shift key for a shooting game is the worst idea IMO because it keep on triggering the sticky key so I couldn't really play the game for long
It is overall a funny game but it would be nice if it is more polished.
WOW this game is super hard because I suck at typing fast and typing correctly. Judging by my typing skill, I probably can never see the secrets :( Great idea and great execution nonetheless, well done!
The game and the music is really relaxing but I find the flight is a bit long. An interesting concept though and the execution is really well.
The graphics is great, I love the art style and the bright colors. The music fits the mood quite well. Well done! The only thing lacking is the AI I think.
Great work Kevin! I absolutely love the graphics and the sound. The cat is so cute, I would be killed by its cuteness as well :3 I love the pacing of the game and it is actually quite challenging because the landing zones are always closed to the crocodiles. However, I don't really get the flying mechanics because it seems quite useless, most of the time I only want to jump and I need to press the button twice to change from flying mode to landing.
The zombie are super hard to kill but eventually you can just keep on going round and round to kill them, gets a bit boring after a while since there aren't many varieties and not many things to do. Nonetheless, it is quite fun to kill zombies :)
I love to see another strategy game! Your game is like mine but much better executed, well done! I love the graphics and not hiding information from the player (except the effect of each of the media). I feel like the game is a bit short which makes it more intense but a bit less enjoyable and it is actually really hard. Maybe a difficulty option?
Got 508 points! It is a really fun game, the control is quite tight and killing waves and waves of zombie is very satisfying. The music is minimalist but fits the theme quite well. Nice work! It would be nice if it is a stand-alone build so I don't need to install your game first. Also I find the screen is a bit small to cope with the number of zombies at the end, basically I die almost immediately once it restart
@NeoRoshi's comment is so funny but also so true :P Nice twist, I had a great laugh when it happened. Great idea, the red slimes are hard to beat though, I feel like they are impossible to dodge because they are so fast.
WOW, this is the best game I've played so far. You guy absolutely smashed it, well done! The only tiny complain I have is that it seems there is no granularity in controlling the distance...
The game didn't show me why I couldn't pick some of the options and how does each option relates to the overall destruction and resistance. Would be nice to have more feedback. However, I understand how hard it is to make a strategy game in 48 hours so well done!
It is quite a fun game throwing random hats at robots. I find the control a bit clunky since both wasd and space keys are on one side of the keyboard.
A very interesting idea indeed. The art was great and I'd love to play more of it. Right now it seems like you can only interact with your computer and talk to the wife? The tv is bugged when you interact with it, it teleported you to the kitchen and you would be able to walk behind the fridge and stuff ._.
Great game, the control feel tight and the levels are challenging. The background music was great and a flying space needle? 10/10
A very very cool game, I love how original the idea is. The graphics and audio set up a great atmosphere for the player. As you said, the option is indeed kind of limited and it gets repetitive after a while. However, given that you only had 48 hours, it was an awesome job! Looking forward to play the full game.
Wow what a great game! The graphics is very nice and colorful, the control is very tight (found that out when being chased by the ghost). Does this game just goes on forever and it procedurally generates the levels? I was up to world 5 and it didn't seem like there are new mechanics. The only thing I would nit-pick on is that the health was quite hidden. At first I thought the length of the character is the health but then I found that the health was actually hidden behind the score after some trial and error. Also I found out I can skip level by going to the left most of the map :) Anyways, very lovely and well designed game. Well done!
It is an interesting idea and the graphics is great. The game is a little different though I kept not being able to enter the dashes.
Amazing graphics and animation. Really well polish game. It is an interesting twist on rock paper scissors, well done! The rule was a bit confusing at first but after a few games I started to get the hang of it.
The game is really hard but the game play is unique. The graphics is simple but cute, sound effect was great. A fun little game, vell done!
The dialogues are funny and it is interesting to have mini games as the game play. Would be better with more polish and more cohesive arts. Also I got stuck after the first round of mini games, are there any more I didn't discover?
I got stuck at the two ghost with 3 spikes. I tried many times but I still couldn't get through there. The jump is a bit rough, I think it is height of the jump. I love the animation you made with the character there, it looks very cute. It will be a fun game with a bit of more work :)
First of all, love the graphics and sound, they made the game awesome to play. The web version of the game has some serious performance issue that affects the game play. I downloaded the windows and loved it. The game is a bit too hard for me though, I just kept dying. The mechanics of hitting the wall to acquire an ability is definitely very innovative, liked it. Well done!
Very impressive atmosphere, i really enjoy it. Gameplay wise, is there a point to hold the space bar because when I play it, I just keep holding it because there is no advantage of not hold it (you have to expand the mind view to kill enemies anyways).
The web version is 1280 * 768, the resolution might be too high for some people who are playing on a laptop. I've just built a version that is 900 * 600 for you :)

@StephenPatrick @mlepage sorry about the bugs (especially the marriage one). I do have a flag to make it only appear once but I guess it didn't work :( (only if I have done more play testing)
Added the link to the post compo version which has major fixes for the bugs like 'Marriage' and 'Gift Planning' keep reappearing. Use the 'Web' version to judge and use the 'Fix' version to enjoy the game :)
@prymidion I did take some inspiration from dominion :)
I love reading your comments, thanks everyone who commented. Your feedback matters a lot more for me than the final score because I get to know how you feel when you play the game.
@bazz_boyy Thanks for the comment! I agreed it is a bit repetitive sometimes (I had a lot of cards I wanted to put in but I ran out of time)
@adamyounis thanks for the feedback! I planned to use the icons to replace some of the card text but I failed to get rich text working in unity.
@bodsey I thought I've balanced it so that he would definitely died. I guess I failed there :)
@bodsey were you playing the fixed version or the original version?
@lawendt you should try the fix version :)
An interesting twist to the 8 queens liked problem, I suck at this kinds of game though. I managed to pass two levels by randomly placing trees and mans :P It seems fun if you get a hang of it but I'm not good at it. Would be nice to be a mobile game. Oh also nice work on the graphics and sound, they are awesome!
love the pixel art graphics, however, if there is more content in the game, it would be better. Also i wish the person would remain selected when I upgrade him
The game looks very good but the link give me a 404 like the others have reported
Very lovely and relaxing to play. The puzzles get a bit difficult but very nice game overall, nothing much to criticize, well done!
It is a fun and challenging game. It wreck my brains to control the direction of the ship but luckily button smashing is an efficient strategy. It might be nice to have power ups or something to slow down the spinning of the direction arrow or something to add more variety.
The atmosphere of the game is great because the excellent sound design and colorful art design. It make the game feel really polish and fits space theme very nicely. However, after playing it a few times, I'm still quite confused about control though, sometimes it turns as I wanted it to but most of the time it doesn't do what i expected? (I couldn't understand how the ship movement works) so I ended up randomly press keys and it worked out nicely most of the times. Nice game overall!
A lovely game, would be great for kids. The music is nice and the graphics is colorful. The gameplay is a bit simple, would be nice if there are more varieties or more challenging
I love god games! It is very interesting to try out different interactions but sometimes I don't know what I am doing. For example I have no idea what AV is. Eventually I got stuck because I don't have the place to place the mountain and the town seems to stop growing for some reason. It is fun though I enjoyed the game.I guess it should let the player to discover the interactions between object but it should at least show me what the object is.
The "notes" are very fast and it seems not registering my key presses? I'm bad at rhythm games in general though so :) It would be nice if the game can start of slowing and give me time to get familiar with the control first. Otherwise a nice looking game with decent mechanics :)
The font is very hard to read as the others already pointed out. It would be also nice to have tooltip showing what each of the building do, I didn't know trees has to build next to the wells for example. Also it seems to be very easy to run out of money if I don't know what I'm doing in the beginning. With that say, the graphics is very lovely and fits the them very well. I will definitely play more of this game if you continue working on this a bit more :) I've done strategy games twice before and I know it is extremely time consuming to make one so well done!
The game looks very nice and play very nicely, really well done. I had quite a bit of fun with the game, only if selling and buying stock is this easy in real life.
There were two things that confused me in the beginning. I didn't realise each time it switch graph, it is a different stock, I thought it was one stock we were monitoring in the beginning and then I found it out the hard way by getting fired :P The second thing is I didn't realize I had to sell multiple times if I bought multiple times.
Overall it was a very awesome game, I would love to see more of it (maybe it gets harder or something)
It would be nice if there is a win condition or lost condition, maybe at least a counter of the number of presents caught? Music could be more Christmas-y. However, the graphics is very simple but cute, love it.
I enjoy the game play and the graphics is lovely (I love that you have sprites for the upgraded buildings). However, the game involves quite a bit of waiting since the prices rises relatively quickly. Also it would be nice if I can actually see the range of the buildings (e.g. shop) so that I can plan my buildings optimally. Otherwise a very fun game!
The music and art works very well together! I love the atmosphere of the game. The game play is interesting and challenging (it spins faster and faster is a good mechanic). It gets repetitive quite quickly though.
A solid physics based game, quite a bit of fun, like it. The difficulty ramps up pretty fast though I think. It would be nice if it is balanced better :)
Very nicely executed game. The visual is simple but great, it is just very fun too keep rolling up all the things. Well done! I know the terrains are randomly generated but it would be nice if they can be less random (sometimes you just run into a thick forest and lost everything, it is kind of frustrating at that point.)
The idea of it is interesting but sometime it is very hard to follow the beat (I don't know if it is the game or just me very bad at rhythm). It was a bit confusing in the beginning to find out what to do but once I got the hang out it, I had fun. Nice game, well done!.
The game is very difficult but very interesting concept! Would be nice if the difficulty curve is less steep. Otherwise it is quite fun.
A surprisingly fun game. This will be the first game I bookmark and come back to play afterwards. I've beaten the simple mode, first I thought I have defense first but turns out rush is better strategy since the enemy troop just keep increasing. Hard mode is actually hard though since I just got outrun by the soldiers. I suspect you need a bit of luck to win the hard mode (where there is a isolated town or something).
A solid platformer! The bouncing mechanics is an interesting twist and turns out not too hard to control! Very enjoyable game, great variety of puzzles!
I love it, the animation, sound and graphics is very nice. The controls were smooth.
The garbage seems to be placed randomly so often times is physically impossible to collect all of them which is not very good IMHO. The game was a bit confusing initially, I thought you have to categorised the garbage but turns out I need to collect everything and it would automatically dump the correct ones to the correct bin.
Apart from those I had a good time playing the game. Overall you've done a very good job!
A very innovative and clever game, I like it. The music is very enjoyable as well. Well done!
The art and music is great, love them! A very simple idea but very well executed. The puzzles are well thought out and interesting. I love the little things in the game like you can't even go back on the main menu, things like that. Also I love how it let you replay the level to just finish collecting the coins, made my inner completionist happy :) Thanks for making such an awesome entry!
Oh no i think I have just broke my mouse....Love it, very nice graphics, nice variety of enmemies, very challenging towards after a while where there are the buffing mushroom plus waves of black mushrooms.
The art look simple but quite cool and it fits the game quite well. I love the idea of a single button do two things but it is also very challenging for me. I managed to get through quite a bit of it but got stuck in a section where there is a lot of platforming and a mistake requires me to redo the whole sequence. It is a fun game. The audio is nice too. Well done!
The graphics and sound of this game is top notch. I love it! The game play is solid and fun. It would be nice if I can see the visual range of the "enemies" so that I can choose my route carefully. Right now it seems like it is a circular range, even though they are not facing me, they can still see me. I think a cone range would make it better. Also It would be nice if the game has levels because right now it is just keep growing and there is no incentive for the player to continue playing. Anyways it is a very well made game! Well done!
Haha what a brilliant idea! I love to see more of this game but it is a bit too short.
That was a lot of features implemented within 48 hours, well done! The graphics is simple yet effective, works perfectly with the music. I particularly like the music. Game play is solid, the progress and slowly introducing different mechanics is great. One of the best entries I've played.
I love the art as usual with your games and I love the idea of a base building game. However I find the game very difficult since the enemies is overwhelming in the beginning and I didn't get enough resources to defend my base. Also as others metioned, centering on the new room is kind of confusing. I hope this get more works afterwards to balance the game a little bit then I will play a lot of it :) I would love a mobile version of this :P
Love the aesthetic of it, a very solid entry! I still not sure what the goal of each level is, is it kill the enemy or reach the right? I didn't know if I actually killed the enemy or not since the enemy never disappear and I suddenly won. However, a very fun game I will come back to it afterwards :) Nice work on the graphics by the way.
Very nice job for a first timer! :D The game is very funny because of the sound effects and I can see you put a lot of effects into those monster claws. It gave me a good laugh so thank you!
I had my game crashed once when the 'Science' event happened and I chose 'Invent'.
I have to say I love the graphics especially the animated background. I'm impressed by the amount of work went into it. The music is lovely as well. I love the idea of the game, however, the gameplay is a bit lacking, while waiting for the event to happen, there is nothing to do. It was fine for the first few days because the graphics was great but then it gets repetitive after a while. The events are a bit random, I can kind of guess what the outcome might be but it is pure RNG I guess. However, congratulation on finishing the game! Well done!
A very fun game, one of the best game I've played so far. The pixel art is great, the dialogues are funny. The control is very hard to get used to but after a few tries I manage to do well with it. The initial number of guards seems to be random and it makes the beginning either very hard or very easy. When 3 or 4 guards spawn next to me in the beginning of the game, there is just no way for me to not die. Another problem is after I get 3 or 4 chains, things starts to go crazy because there is not enough rooms for me to swing through. Good thing the game resets after you get stuck for a while but yea I prefer not get stuck :P However, that's the only two complains I have, it is a very very good game and I had fun. Thanks for making it :)
Another thing is I didn't know you can skip the initial bit of intro (the truck bit) until I died a few times. The text saying you can hold to skip intro should appears in the beginning (after the first time).
@Cyranh haha no worries, I managed to break free in the end even though the chain length is a bit out of control. I freed 1 inmates (the others I freed died because I got stuck and ran into guards :P)
It is a nice little game however I find it a little bit simple, just pick everyone that has good credit ratings and it seems to work fine. I am also confused when should I proceed to next month since customer keep coming in if I keep switching between screens. Overall it is quite enjoyable and it would be better if I can track my progress better and if I need to make more decisions
A simple but well implemented shooter, it runs very smoothly on my machine. It is kind of hard to dodge the bullets though since the shooting direction and the moving direction is the same. So always ended up moving towards the enemies, I guess that was by design to make the game challenging :P Anyways well done!
An interesting game, I love the art style and the overall feeling the game gives you.
The game is quite simple but very challenging, I think the turning speed could be a bit faster to make avoiding obstacles less difficult. The music is very zen and calming, give a nice feel to the game. Graphics is good as well, very bright and colorful, I liked it. The text was a bit distorted though.
Love the art and sound, it was very well done! The game play is solid but it requires very good short term memory that I don't have much. However, the game is very lenient on that so it works out perfectly. The laws are hilarious. One of the best game I've play. Congrats!
Interesting idea, it is clearly a coop game but I didn't have someone else to play it with so I always win :P I love the graphics and the sound, it is very nice. If would be more fun if there is a single player mode with AI. The mechanic is simple but seems to be fun (wish I can play with someone else). Anyways, well done!
I saw that coming all along :P But yea i finished the game (well done on making it fun so that I played it through). There is an obvious strategy which is leaving all your followers at the beginning until you kill everything but then the last level kind of make it harder to do that I guess. It was a very funny game and the mechanics is solid. With more polish on the graphics it will be great :)
I died on the last boss, I don't know how do you not die.
I love the art and the music but it gave the same frustration as flappy bird because it is so hard. The player just don't get enough reaction time.
I think I might have broke my keyboard :p very fun game. I love the tone and graphics
I was watching your stream while working on my own game, great stream and very fun game! I think the only problem is the tiles are too random so I failed in the beginning and I have to use bail out. However, it was a very fun experience overall. Like the others said, mobile version please! :)
Yay another game I played to the end because it was fun! I dig the graphics a lot. It is great! The game is simple yet satisfying, at the end when i finished researching, I felt like I was leading an unstoppable army because the battle was epic. There is no win / loss at the end seems a bit confusing because I thought there was something I haven't done. Here are a few issues I found, the units keep blocking the king's movement when I have a giant army. This causes issue because the camera focuses on the king so if the king is surrounded by his own army he couldn't really move and the camera doesn't move, it was quite annoying. 2. My first tech was always shown as being research even though I already researched it? 3. The enemies were too weak so there wasn't much challenge (though it was very satisfying to see my army crashes the enemies). Despite those minor issues, it was fun, I had a great time. Well done!
The music is very nice and relaxing. I love the fact that the "graphics" plays into the theme. Very interesting take on the game. Well done!
@Azlen on which platform you ran into the day 1 report problem? I will try to reproduce it
@Azlen @JK5000 thanks for letting me know about the bug, it is "fixed" now (I just removed that button and you can use SPACE bar to skip the report) :)
I love the graphics / animation and the music. The game is a bit short but it shows potentials. I would love to see a game about stone age, not a lot of games uses this theme. Good work for jamming and submitting though! :)
Cracked the pre-designed level, the puzzle was great. I love the graphics, it was cute. Like the others said, would be nice if the road cost were shown before i build the road (maybe when i hover over the tile?). I see a lot of replayability of this game. However, when i tried the randomized level, i was given a map that was pretty much unsolvable (mostly forest and mountains). It would be great if the map generation algorithm can make sure the map is solvable first. Overall a very nice game, I will come back to play it if you keep adding more puzzles to it :)
I'm usually not a big fan of platformer because I suck at jumping and dodging stuffs. However this game drew me in and made me played quite a while. I love the art style a lot, it looks lovely and fits the retro theme pretty well. The dialogues and names were funny (the crab and the lizard were cute :D). One thing I found annoying though was the jump button seems not very responsible I keep dying because my character didn't jump when i press jump. The levels were fun, and hard (that batcave man, I will never be able to go through it with my platformer skill). It is a great game, can't believe this is made in 48 hours.
I managed to get 3 different artifacts by dying many many times. I find it very easy to die because the snakes moves really fast sometimes I didn't even have time to react and then I died. I guess that's when I feel like the game is unfair. However, since the game is fast pace and it restarts quickly so it doesn't feel like dying is a big deal. It is surprisingly enjoyable to just walk around and find collectables. The lighting effect is pretty nice, adds a lot of atmosphere. Make me feel like I am in an ancient ruin finding stuff.
I gave the game a few goes. The game was brutal I guess that's what happens when you have a spatan vs modern solders. I wish I can recharge the shield otherwise I just die very quickly. The art was great and the character animation was good too. It's a shame that you couldn't finish the game.
Yay I finished the gam, it was great! It is funny how i just dropped below the ground after i finish the game :p The game has very unique and interesting puzzles. I love the graphics too. I was kind of confused why the cable keep breaking at the beginning, it took me a while to figure it out but once I figure out how to stretch the cable and how to connect things, the game started to become more interesting. I guess a bit of tutorial would help there. One complain i have is that the enemy hitboxes are too huge. I swear I didn't hit that scorpion but I just kept exploding. I think this game has great potential, it just need some polish with the controls and adding more content. Well done!! I had fun with the game.
I'm sorry I really want to finish the game but I keep on hitting bugs. The first time my character just keep going left and doesn't stop no matter what I do. The second and third time the character just stop being able to jump so I couldn't continue. I love the graphics and the sound effect. It has an interesting story as well but I just couldn't finish playing :( I will come back once you fix the bug :)
@lonesurvivor thanks for you tips! I downloaded the windows version and it works flawlessly. I guess it is only the web version then. I finished the game after getting stuck for about 10 minutes. I got to the stage where I had the steam machine running but didn't know what to do next with the flower. Until I accidentally discover I can right click on things......It would be nice if the game explains the control more at the beginning. Overall nice game! Well done!
What a great idea. I like how innovative this game is. The graphics and music is good. I think the basic game mechanics is great. However, I found that the second level was too hard because too many emenies and my alien beam can't even pick up catapults? In the end i pretty much ran out of materials to use / kill the people and there were just too many people :(
Got a score of 294! Good quiz game, learned quite a few tools that I didn't know about. The graphics and the music was very cute the relaxing, really good game :) Yes I do want to see the pictures next to the answers too, that would be nice.
I need friends to play it with! It seems very fun if i can play with friends. I try with my two hands controlling 4 cats it just didn't work out well :p The graphics and the music were great though!
I finished playing the game! Such an awesome and relaxing game. I love the art and the music, espcially the music (can i get the sound track please? :p). A very simple idea but nicely executed. It feels very zen and very nice to play. Well done!! One little thing, it would nice to see my final drawing in the normal form and the inverse color form.
PS: I'm not sure if I interpret the last picture correctly :p
I love the Chinese theme, graphics and music. Not a lot of games utilize those and it is great to see a game that does. The levels were interesting and it had multiple ways to solve. I'm very impressed by how much you guys managed to finished. The game feels complete and well polished. Very well done!
I captured 4 childrens! omnomnomnom. The control is difficult and a bit confusing at first. After getting a hang of it (kind of, it seems like I need to press 'up' to fly up and need to keep the cup slightly leaning forward), i can start flying. It be much nicer if you can explain the control a little bit at the beginning of the game. I love the title screen art and the overall art style of the game though. Well done for finishing the game!
The art is lovely, however, I was very confused about the game. After a few play through I kind of get the idea that i need to get enough hey and fish to survive the winter. However, I still don't understand the usage of cloth because they don't really decrease in number? Also the game didn't seem to get harder or easier? Looks like it has potential it just need more polish and explanation. Well done though!
The game looks and sounds great. Love the graphs, atmosphere and the music. I love the industry era and the game feels very historical. However, I find the game a bit unbalanced. Initially I struggled a lot because I could buy licences but I couldn't send things to my capital to sell it. Later i realized I have to borrow money to research and build the railways. In other strategy games I played, taking loan usually is not a necessary thing unless you are trying to expand very fast in the early game but this game makes it a requirement due to the lack to money to start. You can't do anything without railway tech and a railway built. After restarting a few times the game just give up and give me gold and silver next to my starting city which was a nice touch to help the player :) I guess some tuning would make the game a lot easier to get into! Also I found that the research tab cannot be closed in the WebGL version with 16:9 resolution because the close button is invisible for some reason. I had to download the game to play it at the end.
The graphics was very retro style and I loved it! Discovered that if you stay still the rocks will come to you. At the beginning I keep moving my camera and the rock does appear if i do that. A bug? The game progress is a bit slow I need to lot of minerals to do things but they don't appear very fast. I think add a bit more challenges will make the game more interesting. However, I enjoyed playing the game as it is. Well done!
haha it is a very interesting and fun to watch "game". Great piano music!
Haha love the custom game sounds you made. The game runs very slowly on my geforce gtx 640M laptop graphics card. If it runs better it will be more fun to play. Love the graphs tho, those models looks adorable!
The mechanics is simple and dealing with a lot of things at once is surprisingly fun. Well done! I would love to see multiple lines need to be connected, currently it seems only one line need to be connected at a time. The count down was a bit confusing at first I didn't realize i have to reset before the count down finishes and the tutorial didn't explain that very well. Overall, it is a fun and challenging game. Love to see more levels and varieties
Loved it. The art is great, the title screen to game transition worked very well, didn't expect it but it was great. The game was very atmospheric. The thing I liked the most was the control. Grabbing pieces and placing them feels snappy and very responsive, it felt good. I like how the game felt very fast pace. However, I found the evil repelling bit was less fun than the building bit because it was very hard to click that thing. The lighted rectangle area confused me a little bit because i thought you can only place blocks in that area but then when the game ends it tells me about max height then i realized you can actually place things outside? (I'm still not 100% sure). If i can actually continue building it up, it would be nice to have a way for the player to extend the time before judgement so I can try to hit a higher score. Overall very fun game, well done!
damn it these old techs, they are so frustrating to use and why the instruction was not correct (flip table)...haha I love your game it was funny and the atmosphere was great. It did cause me annoyance i guess that was the point of the game :p Love the ending, more table flip. Well done! The graphics was great and the puzzles was interesting. There were issues with the 'continue' feature though. For example when I was on the phone, if i exit and continue, the phone state was wrong I think.
WOW you pretty much nailed every aspect of the game! The graphics looks lovely and cute. The character movement was perfectly responsive. The triple / double jump is ridiculous and make me feel like my character is a badass ninja. The shooting mechanics feels great, shooting that spear is very satisfying especially when I hit multiple fishes. My only minor complain is that the sharks were buggy, a lot of the time they were swimming upside down. Sometimes it became 2x bigger as well. Also, I wish I can get life so when I make mistakes I don't have to play the levels over and over again when I die to the sharks :(
Overall this is the best game I have seen by far. Give me a full game and I will pay for this!
The graphics is nice but the game is a bit short. However well done finishing the game!
Very cool idea, initially I thought once the square faded then it would do no harm but clearly I was wrong :p It managed to get up to level 17 but i couldn't get any further, i guess if i really want to beat this game I will need pen and paper.I love the particle effect when i die and it reveals part of the path, very clever design. The sound effect was simple but effective. Well done!
I played as the detective, it was quite confusing at the beginning because I didn't understand what those icon means. However, it got clearer after I played a while. It is a shame that I couldn't get the full experience because I have no one else to play with :(
Very nice visual, it was a bit daunting the game just drops you in without much guidance and I had to figure out myself. Otherwise a very solid entry! Well done!
I love detective games and it is kind of rare to see them in game jams because it involves a lot of art work and script writing. However, you've done a good job on both of those aspects. The game is funny and the graphics is amazing, fits the theme of the game very well. Music is pretty on the point makes the whole game much better.
The only complain i have is that i was pretty confused after clicking all the clue and the game didn't progress, I didn't know you have to click things in order to be able to continue the game and there was nothing tells me that (or maybe i missed it). Otherwise great game! Well done!
The visual is very nice and it is a very neat idea. I love the intense gameplay but sometimes I feel like the difficulty level is too high for my taste, sometimes it is just impossible to satisfy everyone. However, very well done sir!
Hahah so the game never ends? Nice idea reminded me of inception, would be great you can extend it to be simulations within simulations. The graphics is nice. Also the bomb seems to do nothing.
The game overall is pretty fun, the designs were very clearer (the sanity mechanics and that the zombies will kill the customers if you don't control them fast enough). Love the overall design. The graphics is fantastic. However, the control feels pretty clumsy and it hinders my enjoyment of the game and I kept getting stuck and couldn't kill the zombies faster enough.
This is funny though the consequences are not very obvious. The graphics and sound is nice
Yay I finished the game! I love it. The graphics is very cute and the music is nice but as the others have pointed out, it gets a bit repetitive after a while. The idea of the game is very cool, innovative and educational. Gameplay-wise, the control feels good, especially the game does auto-steering for you so you. However, when I went pass the organ and I want to double back, it becomes very hard or impossible. I mean it make sense because blood circulate in a fixed direction. However, in the game it causes annoyance because sometimes I missed the side path and I couldn't go back. With that said, I'm not 100% sure you should remove this mechanics because it does make sense and creates challenge to the player. Also due to this mechanics, the smaller blood cells sometimes get stuck and it takes me a while to find out and I have to backtrack to collect them which is a bit annoying. Would be nice if they auto-follow up when they are off screen.
Overall, it was a very enjoyable game and I re-learned anatomy again. Thanks for that :p
Very interesting 'game'. Some soothing music would make it great to just watch it. The pixely graphics is cute. Maybe a bit of interaction would be great too (just allow the player to change the world a little bit)
The game looks very promising and interesting, I like the visual style and the premise (I love turned base tatics). However, the UI and gameplay was kind of confusing. I didn't know what to do. A good tutorial would make this game turn this game from good to great! The sound effect was a bit loud, and the camera could have zoomed out a little bit more.
Good job finishing the game though. I would love to play a more when it is more polished :)
I wish I'm smart enough to solve the puzzle. I got crowbar and shovel and snorkle. I thought I would use crowbar or shovel to break the ice but I couldn't find a way to use it. The music is quite nice though. I may do a second playthrough if someone can post some tips here :p
I was also quite confused about why I kept losing health under the sea near south pole and it turned out the ice spike actually damages you and there was no indication of it happening.
Anyways it looks quite promising but a bit more tips or guidance would be nice :)
It is a pretty cool strategy game. Usually the side scrolling strategy game only let you build armies and this one is interesting in the sense that the player need to balance between developing the economy and army. The pixel graphics is pretty nice and the animation is simple but effective. There are basic sound effects that makes the game feels much better.
I know it is very hard to balance strategy games especially when you only have 2 days, but i feel like the higher level units are a bit useless because they are expensive and can be only used once, if you happen to deploy it when there is not many enemies, it is not that useful and if you control the map well using swordsman you usually don't need higher level units. So the game becomes just producing between lumberjack and swordsman. I feel like the unit shouldn't be of only use once but I'm not sure if it would break the game's feel and balance if you would have made that change.
Anyways, overall I think it is a great game, more unit type and more maps would be great as future extension. Well done!
I was confused at first when I saw the ending but then I was *mind blown* when i realised what was happening :open_mouth:
The graphics is very nice and cute, love the changes in their facial expressions based on different dialogue. The story is simple but engaging because I kept wanting to know what is going to happen (I kept having the feeling that bad things was going to happen, e.g. beth was cheating on johnny or something). The dialogues were funny as well. I love this game, you should be proud making such a great game! Very well done!!
This is a really cool game, even though it is more of a interactive novel than a game. The story is intriguing and you did a fantastic job narrating it. The graphics looks really awesome especially the red flowing effect around lalao when its pieces falling off. The sound effect was on the point when clicking the pieces.
I really love the whole experience, it is like opening a magical story book and the story become interactive. I would like to see more narratives when the pieces falling off faster and faster. One other improvement would be have ambient background music.
With that said, this already becomes one of my favorite game in this LD. Very well done!
The game looks great given that it is your first 3D game and second LD. The models are simple but cute. I'm surprise you actually animated the UFO firing lasers, that was great detail. The fire and oil effect is also very good for helping me to find out where to go.
However, the game is a bit buggy at its current state (I played the V2 version), for example, sometimes i cannot put out the fire even though i was close enough and aimed properly. I cannot put out fire on two trees at the same time either and if one of the trees is still burning, the other tree will start burning again pretty soon :( I also couldn't find out how to use the fuel, I got it and tried to put it into the empty tank next to my house and i couldn't for some reason.
With that said, the game looks and sound great for an LD and I like the music gets more intense as time goes on as well. The game just need some bug fixing and polish. Great work! I'm glad you had a good time making the game :)
Also a visual indicator of the direction of the house would be great i kept on getting lost :p
Love this entry. Firstly, the game is very funny. Secondly, it has superb graphics and animation. Your custom sound effect was great / funny too. Lastly, the gameplay itself is very satisfying, I also love the little detail where the chill bonus clip gets faster and faster to avoid player wait time. The late game gets pretty hard though, I feel like I cannot catch up and just loses eventually. It feels like one swing doesn't really kill that many people. Would love to see power ups / more enemy types to be introduced.
Overall, it is a very fun game, one of my favorite for this LD. Well done!!!
@kcreanor Sorry I didn't have time to make more levels but I did manage to add an endless mode in before the time was up. On the ending screen if you press 'C' you can enter endless mode :)
Thanks everyone for playing my game and giving awesome feedbacks. I have to sleep now but I will make sure I played all of your games if you left a comment here.
Again many thanks for playing :grinning:
@tbureck Haha yea once one of the tower falls, it tend to have domino effect. I really appreciate your feedback and glad that you are enjoying it. I haven't played your game yet but I will make sure to play it tomorrow after work. Thank you very much for playing!
@wtoa I thought of making the game to be controlling the planet instead of the blocks but I feel like controlling the blocks feels more real. Would be an interesting experiment to see what happens if the player controls the planet instead. Thanks for playing and leaving feedback btw :)
@jhandsy I will make sure putting that on my to-do list for this game :)
@tiny-planet-studios @xavier-indie-gamedev Thanks for the feedback. I was considering adding music but I lack experience so I didn't have time to learn and make some music. Any tips?
I will make sure to address the camera issue in post-LD updates. Thanks guys :)
@blinry very sorry about the Linux build. I didn't have time to test it and I just assume it works because it was generated by Unity. (#whatcouldpossiblygowrong :p)
There are only 3 levels at the moment (again due to lack of time), but there is an endless mode I built in at the last minute. You can enter it by pressing 'C' on the end game screen.
And yes I encountered the bug with physics not being applied properly at the briefing screen myself as well but I didn't have time to investigate and fix it. I will put it on my to-do list. Thanks for all the kind words and hopefully I will be able to make it into a full game :)
The game is very simple but fun because it is very intense but you have a lot of options to deal with the threats. I would recommend using a controller though, playing with keyboard when you are upside down is very confusing. The graphics and music is very nice and the camera shaking makes the attacks feels a lot more powerful. The second type and the forth type of missiles are very hard to aim tho, I feel like they should be better controlled. Ovearll, I really enjoy this entry. Well done!
It is a pretty touch game, I played for a few minutes but still not managed to kill a single worm. The time they appear is so short that it is hard to destroy all the armors AND kill it. However, I did have fun trying because the control is very tight and responsive. It is great that my character gets the health back when I does damage to them. The graphics is nice and the music matches the action quite nicely. My only suggestion is to change the control scheme because left mouse and right mouse clicking at the same time is quite difficult for me.
Otherwise it is a pretty solid entry. Well done! I only wish I'm better at it and be able to finish the game.
The game seems very fun and I wanted to play it but it crashes everytime after I played for a little bit :(

I just updated my graphics driver yesterday to 381.89
is your windows build x86 or x64? it could be something like that given the user space shown in the error log is only 3496 MB?
The idea is pretty cool where you team up to find the exit. I also like the graphics of the game. However, I find the game a bit hard for me because there are a lot of enemies and they do a lot of damage. I also find that pressing space around the enemy still triggers the 'hello man' voice line which is a bit confusing. At first I thought space only talks to my team. Also I find the audio is a bit loud.
The game has potential and it just need a little bit more variety (maybe weapon type, etc)?
Yay I finished the game! Now I rules the world :p I love the graphics, very nice and cute. The room is interestingly designed where there are levels and not just flat ground. The hide outs are a bit tricky to get in, at first i thought i needed to click the light spots on the ground, turns out i actually need to click the hide out spot (the side of the bed etc.) I think the indication should be made clearer. Also the hideout at the end of the bed wasn't working for me (I was playing the WebGL version). Overall, nice game! I had fun with it! (otherwise I wouldn't finish it)
The 3D models are very well done, the music is relaxing and fits the mood very well. The UI tool tips are helpful but subtle, doesn't feel intrusive. The gameplay itself is fun at first but gets a little boring after a while. Initially I thought I had to control the weather to help the population grow but it doesn't seem like growing at all. Later i find that all i can do is to protect them. However, the game got quite hard because things are happening at the other end of the planet and I did not know that people were getting attack by bear and meteor appears too quickly for me to react sometimes. A notification system will greatly improve this I think.
Overall it is a nice little game, well done!
Haha the game is very cute! I love the premise of the game and those interesting looking characters. The mechanics is very innovative but gameplay itself could be improved I think. Currently the game is pretty hard, there are too many people on the street so I have to walk on the road and avoiding cars and trying to recognise people at the same time is very difficult for me. Also I didn't know how to turn over so i was walking backward :p
Overall, the game is very interesting and but I feel like the levels need to be tuned a bit. Also audio would be nice :)
Yay I beat the game. The music is very nice and the font looks cool. The puzzle mechanics is neat, it is kind of like the card game 'Set'. However, sometimes I feel like the game is a bit buggy because I can combine things with different colors (border and filled color)? You can also ramp up the difficulties a little bit, it is kind of easy right now. I also found a bug where the connection didn't disappear:
Capture.PNG
Overall it is nice puzzle game, I had fun finishing it :)
The graphics is amazing, love the idea of overlaying the game in the real world, feels a bit like an AR game. Music is simple and effective.
However, I find this game extremely hard. My biggest gripe is the size of the hitboxes. I constantly died because I didn't expect the character hitbox or the spike hitbox to be so big. Even though visually it doesn't look like I hit them but I still dies. A screenshot for the hitbox problem, the character couldn't walk through there:
Untitled.png
Also the character slides quite a lot (doesn't stop fast enough) and i kept on sliding into spikes :cry:
I also "cheated" in the game because the bullet lives forever once fired. I can fire them randomly and they can still travel through the entire level and hits the targets even thought i didn't see the targets :p
Other than that, I think you've done a great job. I'm very impressed by the visual, just the gameplay a need bit of tweaking. Well done!
The story was very funny but it did introduced the characters. However there are multiple of those characters for some reason :p I'm also surprised the homeless man walks so fast...
The gameplay itself is quite fun but there maybe too many adults so it is hard to do any meaningful stealth, I ended up just sprint around to lower suspicions. I feel like the game will be benefit from having a more static map and fewer enemies so that stealth is actually doable.
However, the graphics and the background music was nice. Well done!
The title screen animation is awesome! It was a pleasant surprise to see that such a polished title screen.
The music and the art mashes great together, made the game very rhythmic and made the movement feel great. The mechanics is simple to grasp, after dying once because I didn't know what I was doing, I managed to survived 1:20 and got a score of 72597. The carrot mechanics is very clearly, giving a change the pacing of the game and made the player feels empowered.
I think it is a very complete and fun game, I was tempted to say you can add more types of collectibles and power ups to increase the variety of the game but I don't know if complicating the game more is a good thing.
Overall, I had a lot of fun with this game and it is definitely one of the best I've seen so far. Well done guys! You should be proud of yourselves.
Very simple game but it is quite fun to jump around to collect cookies and get rid of cookie monsters (especially when my jump just repels him away). The graphics is quite cute but could be a bit more work. Initially the game was quite fun but it gets a bit repetitive after a while. More pickups / powerups / enemy types will make the game more interesting in the future additions. Also I think the score is a bit meaning less at the moment (It is like a timer), I think changing it to be score up only when picking up cookies will make the score more meaningful.
Overall, I had fun with the game, great job on finishing ludum dare! You should be proud :)
Surprisingly fun for such a simple game! I find destroying the balls satisfying because probably because the sound effect and explosion animation. Sometimes I find that the ball's hitbox is too large though, it was frustrated that I thought i got a good angle but then it hits the ball that I didn't expect. Overall very simple yet fun game. Well done!
Love the intro and outro animation, very cute! The music is great it is very relaxing to listen to. I had issues getting out of the stair well and I downloaded the windows version and it still had the same issue. Good thing was I managed to press space many times to get out :p
I love the variety of the puzzles, some of the puzzle needs a bit more visual cue (e.g. the plugging wire one, I still don't know how I solved it and what i was supposed to do because I couldn't drag the wires into the sockets.)
The graphics is minimalist but doesn't look bad, the font size is a bit large though I had difficulty reading the text.
The control feels good overall, would be nice to have space to trigger events instead of enter. Also would be nice if I can play through the game without mouse. I was a bit confused when I couldn't do anything and it turned out i had to use mouse to dismiss the dialogue.
Overall it is quite fun (I finished it) and well done on finishing your game!
Sorry for doubting your but is this really a one man work over 48 hours (the rule of Compo)? It looks like A LOT of work has went into this. If it is, WOW, you've done an amazing job!
The graphics is REALLY good, it looks super polished, vibrant and cute. It fits the theme because it is a "small world" exhibition I guess? :p The UI of the game is nicely designed because it is cleaned and informative when needed (The tooltips were very helpful). The gameplay is very original and innovative. However, I found it very hard to 'get' the game mechanics (the price you pay for being innovative I guess). I think a tutorial or a more gradually built up level (with gradual introduction of concepts) would help ease the entry difficulties a lot.
Overall, a really solid game, just need a bit more work to help the player :)
The game is pretty nice. I love the adorable graphics (and the penguin). The background music is pretty fitting and it makes the game feels more intense. The gameplay is simple but fun. However, the ship is really hard to control (too float-y and too fast). It makes the game really hard. I managed to beat the first level by luck. However, I got stuck at the second level because I overshoot myself once and never manage to get back to the planet (because my rocket is way too fast). I just ended up keep on over shooting and never managed to even see the planet....
Overall, well done! It is a solid game just need some tweaking to the mechanics.
Sorry I couldn't finish your game because I stuck at this level
screenshotI kept getting stuck and that corner and just falls down to the spikes. I kept trying for a few minutes but still no luck.
With that said, the pushing the wall back mechanics is very cool and unique and you even have to use it to solve the puzzle. The graphics is very nice and plenty of animation there to make the action looks smooth. However, i feel like the jump timing is bit off or it is a bit too hard for me (I don't usually play platformer).
Overall, great visual and sound, interesting idea but I just suck at platforming :joy:
Aren't you the author of the indie game Eddy紫? It is great to meet you! :D Your game is very beautiful and the puzzle is very innovative. I love the little indicators you have put on top the mushrooms to help the player determines how the propagation works. The difficulty curve was nicely design, the 3rd level was definitely a difficulty jump but it did make me understand how the mechanics really works. I wish the music notes can make a rhythm when it get triggers in a chain.
Overall very good entry, well done! It will make a solid puzzle game if there are more levels :)
The graphics is very adorable (especially the enemies). The music is very catchy but gets a bit repetitive after a little while. The platforming is good but it feels a bit off sometimes. I think the reason being in other platformers I expect whenever i press the jump key, my character jumps. In this game, however, due to the jump key long press mechanics, it feels a bit unresponsive sometimes. I get better after I get used to it though. As @indeximal said it would be great if the animation corresponds to how high i would jump because currently I have to guess.
Overall it is a solid platformer, good job! :)
Pretty nice game. The idea is original and the gameplay is actually quite fun. It is relatively short so the player is tempted to start over again and try to beat the score. I find a good score depends a lot of luck though, sometimes I just get an empty spot easily and othertimes I don't. Also i can reverse the position of left and right leg (Or stack them together), not sure if it count as cheating or not :p
Really good execution on your innovative idea. Well done!
It reminded me of the wire loop game I played when I was a kid. The game's control feels very smooth but it is definitely not an easy game. I had a lot of fun keep retrying the challenging levels. I love that there are more and more mechanics added to later levels to keep the game fresh. The difficulty curve was nicely designed as well. The graphics is minimalistic but actually suits the game feel quite a lot (improvement will still be great).
Very solid entry, I like it. Well done!
It is cool to see an unconventional shooter. The visual is very nice and the music is very fitting. I totally agree with @hampst that the enemies should be more distinguishable. While I had fun shooting the other jets (especially when i land my shots on multiple of them), I find the control a bit odd. The main thing is whenever I change direction, I find that my jet decelerates pretty quickly and comes to a halt. It is quite devastating when this happens because usually there are quite a few missiles flying your way so I had to be very cautious when changing direction which affects the fluidity of the combat I feel like.
With that said, I'm very impressed by what you have created in 48 hours. You've done a great job!
I love the art style and the music, it really give me the feeling of going back to the 15th century and being a pirate. The sailing control was pretty realistic. The combat was very satisfying when you land those shots. The crew management aspect of it is great, give me a lot of variety to play with. However, I found that buccaneers and captains are the most important ones. I found raiders is kind of useless because I never engages in close combat. The scout I can't tell the differences between 2 and 2+.
The game provides 3 difficulties but I found that I can just stick with farming the Spanish until I get enough resource to take on the other two fractions so it got a bit dull. I wish I could occupied their city but turns out I couldn't do that (would be great since that gives the player a goal and it stops player from farming it indefinitely).
Also the injury mechanics is interesting but it introduces a lot of busy work into the game (I need to constantly reshuffle people when I get a lot of injured people) and that wasn't very fun.
I also found a bug where the cannon balls goes into the negative numbers :p
Sorry for giving so much feedback. I hope you don't see them as negativities. I love this game and played it for more than half an hour and that's why I wanted it to be even better!
It is definitely one of my favorites entries! Well done!
Nice non-game at this stage. Pretty fun to just hop between different planets. The lighting effect around the character makes the planet looks quite nice. Some of the planet design is quite cool (e.g. the one with the glowing tree). I didn't realised I can do jumps in the air and got confused for a bit. As the others said, would be better to have more content.
However, given the 48 hour time frame, what you did is already pretty good. Well done!
Super atmospheric game. The snow effect, the are less and less trees as the level progress, the wind sound effect and the guitar music at the background all worked together nicely. I'm very impress at the mood you have created.
The gameplay is a bit simple but works well in the context. The reloading mechanics is a bit confusing at first. Took me a while to understand how to use the reloading mechanics properly. One thing though, even though the main character keep saying that he/she is losing power, the game play didn't really reflect that (or did I miss it completely)
The story is interesting but I felt a bit left unexplained. Like why this person is trying to save this baby girl, why he send her to the witch, why the witch just leave him/her to die? A bit more story would feels better in my opinion.
Overall, nice game! Good job.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!! I clicked 'launch nuke to the west' an nothing happened!!! Or was that intentional?
Great satirical game! The dialogues and choices are funny and The plot is engaging. The images comes with the choices are appropriate and nicely drawn. However, I do not know what are the differences between the choices and sometimes I feel like it made no effect (Of course I can see some choices led to major event). Some music would be nice. Nice work! I would play a few more times and see if there are alternative endings :)
Very nice puzzle game. The idea is quite innovative and it was actually challenging and fun to play. I didn't realize until reading the comment that the game is meant to be lost. I thought I could somehow defeat all the waves :p The drag and drop mechanics works nicely, it glitched out once thought where I used a card at a corner and nothing happened. Like the others have said a bit of sound effect and music would be great.
A solid idea, love to see it get more developed (with more card variety, etc.)
Love the 2.5D graphics, reminded me of some of the older games I've played. The animation quality is quite good as well. Combine with the movement speed I do feel like I was riding a horse. Music was relaxing and fits the riding quite well. However, I found the game quite challenging especially with the bow trajectory and the small hit box of the bats. I've also ran into issues on the second level where if I dash, I can dash through a floor and die :( Overall very enjoyable experience though.
Thanks everyone for playing my game and giving feedback :grinning:
@gonutz I' glad you enjoyed my game!! I did specifically tested the case where you clear the level and die at the same time, and it was fine, maybe i broke it later when changing my code. :(
@glimaleite thanks for the feedback on the music. I agree the music is a bit too cheerful but I didn't have enough time / skill to make it better unfortunately :p It was the first time I make music and I was pretty happy that there were music at all haha
@zdeno I'm happy that you enjoyed it!
@adrien-dittrick interesting view on the powers. During my play testing I found that losing attack damage is the worst because even if your character can't move, as long as he can one hit kill enemy, it was fine. Once it start requiring more than 1 hit, the character dies very easily due to the overwhelming number of enemies. To make it work I decided to make the damage to be a random number generated from a range. That's why you sometimes seea 1 hit kill and sometimes you don't. However I agree that it would feel frustrating for the player when this is not clear. I did not think of that at the time. Thanks for the feedback!
@peredom I figured probably no one would be able to get to the ending (I managed to get to it once during my many play throughs) and time constraint so I didn't make an ending. Did you get to the end? If so, well done!
@zdeno there wasn't one sorry if I mislead you into thinking that :(
@zdeno hmmm interesting find, I didn't think of that. Changing direction during attack animation is intentional otherwise the combat feels less responsive. However I didn't anticipated the 'exploit' :sweat_smile: thanks for letting me know!
Love the Reigns-like gameplay, I think you have done a good job to differentiate your game with the original. The graphics are nicely drawn and the events are interesting. I think the game is quite well balanced and enjoyable to play. However, the lack of music and sound made the game a bit static and ultimately the events started repeating and it becomes a bit repetitive which is inevitable due to the game jam time limit. However, love your work!
A solid entry except my keyboard almost died in the process :p The graphics is great, nicely hand drawn style. The music is simple but fits the game very well. The voice acting makes the characters more alive, just a nice little addition. However I think there is something wrong with the control? I can never manage to get my character to go fast and I'm using a mechanical keyboard so my hand is still really tired from the rapid tapping. And despite all my effort my character still walks very slowly :( Also I hope it didn't need the installer.
I used two hands and still couldn't win :(
The game is a lot of fun. When I saw the screenshot I thought it was a sim-tower like game but turns out it is not. The graphics and music were top-notch, make the game aesthetically pleasing. There are a lot of tiny details that enhanced the experience, e.g. the little people's emotions, etc. The gameplay is intense and challenging, especially when it gets to 6 employees and I felt like a chaos. Love what you have created, one of the best entries I have seen in this Ludum Dare. Well done!
If I have to pick something to criticize, it would be the fact that I don't know how much electricity each room is using. So far I found that the stairs tends to eat up a big chunk of the electricity but I ran into scenarios where even though I only have the offices, power still goes down and made me felt like there was nothing I can do and the game was just being unfair.
One of the best game I've played in this ludum dare. The atmosphere was great with the hollow wind sound effect, the footstep and the flashlight toggling sound. The core mechanics has a lot of potential and it was well executed. I didn't realized until later that the level was actually partially random generated which adds a lot of replayable but it does add some randomless into the game. For example, I got my high score because i had a relatively easy start for that run but then other runs were much harder. Also sometimes it is quite hard to tell which area is safe and which is not. I got kill at randomly tiny spikes that I did not notice and it ruined my good run which was a bit annoying.
However, it was a very innovative used of light and the game is very well polished and played nicely. Well done!
Another political satire game haha, it seems to be a theme in this game jam. Love the background music it was quite very good. The pixel art and animation on trump was great. Very nicely done clicker game, doesn't feel too long or too short. Would be nice buying those things will change the graphics. Overall quite enjoyable. Well done!
Very innovative game. Love the idea and the execution. The experience of this game is very zen until I found out that there was a time limit before the camera moves on :stuck_out_tongue: The scribbling mechanics is quite well done, I haven't notice any bug. Would love a score of some sort at the end because I definitely miss quite a few lights especially towards the end. Some soft, relaxing background music will bring this game to the next level. I enjoyed playing this game, very relaxing. Love the scribbled graphics. Very well done!
The graphics looks pretty nice and some of the locations in the dungeon is very well design. The sound effect was simple but quite atmospheric. However, I felt that the gameplay could use some improvement. For example, I constantly run into bugs where I can climb an invisble rope up / down to nowhere and cannot drop down from the ropes. Or I cannot proceed at some of the places, etc.
Great potential, the execution lacks a little. However, I did enjoy the art though.
The maximum score I managed to get was 44 with 74 seconds. The game was pretty fun, the jokes are funny and the dialogues were humorous. Music was cheerful and matched the graphics style very well. The gameplay was simple but effective, being a bad guy is fun :P The control is pretty tight except occasional hiccup with key registrations when stealing apple (a lot of times when I run pass someone and timed the 'space' key and the game didn't register it and I didn't get the apple which was a bit frustrating). I rarely used the sprint and drop apple. Not using sprint because I find keep stealing apple already make me run pretty fast and dropping apple seems to only get rid of a few amount of enemy so it wasn't very effective it feels like.
I keep dying in corners because even though more power gives me faster speed, the turning speed is the same and turning around is when i get caught and surrounded :(
Overall it was a delightful, fun game to kill time with. Nicely done!
The background music was one of the most memorable song I've heard in games I've played in this LD. Very nice song, would love to have the soundtrack if possible :P The lighting effect was nicely done and the animation quality was high.
Gameplay: The control was tight and feels responsive for a hard platformer like this. However I found that I was confused by the shape of the collectable at first. I thought it was an arrow pointing down in the first level. I was very confused why the game tells me to jump onto a spike and I did and I died :p After a few trials I then realized it was a collectable. The hitbox of the spike also seems a bit too big for my taste. I'm very bad at plateformers so maybe that is why, so for me this was a very difficult game due to the large hitboxes.
However, I can see that it is a well polished and very high quality game. Well done!!
PS: don't forget the soundtrack :p
Hahaha this game is very funny. The political satire, the voice sound effect, the activities going on in those countries are all quite humorous. Love the graphics, simple yet add to the satirical nature of the game. I was surprise not only the game but the music also speed up which was a nice touch. I actually quite like this game despite its simplicity. Well done!
The dialogues were funny I like them. The graphics is basic but serve the game well. The core loop of buying lands, building power plants, expanding your company and treasury is solid. However, I think the game suffers a bit when it comes to difficulty. The game overall is a bit simple, there were really challenges, as long as you build the plants and wait, you will eventually be able to expand. The events are usually have good outcome without cost as well. Would be nice to have a time constraint and make some of the choices has both cost and benefit. (e.g. lose money but boost power output). The initial ramp up of the game was a bit slow, couldn't really do much for the first few turns other than passing. Would be nice to have cheaper plants / locations so I can do more in the early game.
Overall a game with a lot of potential. I enjoyed while playing and I loved the humor in it as well. Well done!
Very solid entry for a first timer! The graphics is minimal but quite cute. Has the Oryx Design Lab vibe to it. The music is also minimal but the basic sound effect made the game more alive. The game play is solid, the control is tight and shooting is fun.
However, I couldn't really get used to the Z and X control, and I feel like the game is cheating because if I jump towards a point, the police shot in advance before I get there so I have to take a hit which is annoying.
I also seem to run into a bug? where I cannot proceed to the next level at the end of Level 2, I die and try again, still same issue :(
Very well done though, the game is challenging to play.
I love the low-polygon art style of the game, looks pretty clean and that was what attracted me to play this game. The game is easy to understand and play. However, the puzzle is a little bit basic and simple. You did have a nice difficulty curve though. Some background music and sound effect will definitely enhance the experience a little bit more.
The graphics is very cute, love the flame spirit. The core loop of the game is simple but well executed. It sounded like a lot of things to manage but once I got a hang of it, it wasn't too bad. Sound effect was simple but it was a nice addition. The tips overlay was neat and well explained. However, I found that the game does not increase in difficulty over time and the challenge wasn't enough to keep me busy. I got the situation well under control after a while that I don't see I would ever lose. Great concept though just need to tune up the difficulty and it would be a great game!
Nice puzzle game! The graphics and music is basic but the puzzle is solid. I like trial and error and try to beat the challenges. The initial tutorial was good but it didn't explained consumable charging station and bullet types which caused confusion for me later on when the charging station suddenly disappear and I was wondering why I didn't die when I get hit by the bullet (blue ones). Then i thought bullet doesn't hurt you and then I got hit by a black one..Not until later i find that there are little hints at the top but it wasn't very noticable. The game's difficulty is pretty well controlled however I don't like the randomly fired bullets, especially the one at level6. It felt too random and when you see it fires towards you, you are probably dead because it travels really fast. Also the enemies' hitboxes are bit big. A few times I thought i didn't hit the enemy but I still died. Other than that it was pretty solid. Well done!
First of congratulations on finishing the game! At first I thought it would be a clicker game and it turned out to be a puzzle game. It is actually more tricky than I thought to balance the maximum efficient and not screwing yourself. I keep dying because I let one of the batteries charge too much, which turns out to be a grave mistake because there is no way you can not lose after you overcharge a battery. (If you transfer to the machine, machine explode, if you wait until it is fully charged, you can't transfer to the machine because once it gets to 0 it dies and if you charge at 1% it will explode) I think that is a bit too harsh on the player.
The little bonus is nice but it would be nice if it tells you how much battery it gives the main machine, it was a bit unclear until I tried it out.
Sound effect was minimum but better than not having one.
Overall, you did a good job!
Making a simulation game is challenging, congratulate on finishing one!
I love these kind of game. I really liked the graphics, it is nicely drawn and looks clean. However there are some UI layering issue where the panel is behind the button so I couldn't see what was on the panel. See screenshot: Capture.PNG
Now back to the gameplay, it is not as polished as the graphics. However, since I made 2 simulation games before, I know how much work there is to make a game like this. So please don't take these criticism too personally.
* It seems there is no penalty for creating an oil deficit, so I can just jack up the price and produce very little and that way my company just earns money without any drawback * I can see that the fun part of the game is to balance your oil production to control the price and earning. However, without some sort of overview stats (e.g. how much money i'm earning / losing per tick), I can't really tell the effects of each of my actions (I increase my oil production, price drop a little, does my increment help my income or not? I can't tell without resolving to calculator or pen and paper) * I still don't understand the impact of region demand / produce as well as stability. (Seems like it impact the build and research cost but I can't really tell? Also I was earning so much money so I didn't really care :p) * The late game gets a bit tedious since I had so many oil production I need to click through. Would be nice if it automatically lower the production when an oil well is exhausted. * The game lacks a goal. I enjoyed earning money and seeing my company expanding over the globe. However, without a lose condition and a clear win condition, I got bore after a while. A little bit of a goal would help. For example, if you sets a dollar amount as the gold medal, another amount for a silver medal, etc. Then the player will have a challenge to work towards. Right now the game has nothing to work towards.
Hope these feedback helps! I love the theme, the graphics is fantastic. It has a lot of potentials. Well done putting it together within 48 hours. I know it was hard. Good job! You should be proud :)
Yes I beat the game!!! Haha it was quite a fun little puzzle game. The clever power mechanics adds another layer of complexity to the otherwise a bit simple puzzle game. The music and sound effect is simple but it makes the game better because i can use the sound effect as feedback as to if i collect something or not. Like the others I was a bit confused at the first 2 level but afterwards it was fine. A little bit of help text or tutorial text would be greatly helpful in the beginning. The level where the bat first appear is much harder than all of the levels I feel like, i spent the most time on that level, maybe you can rearrange the levels so that the hard level is at an later point of the game. Overall it was fun and it made me wanting to finish it. Awesome work!
Great puzzle game.
Graphics - amazing, the 3d environments looks nice, character animation was great. I've also notice the floor texture was very high quality as well, same with the lighting effect.
Sound, Ambient music - background music was there, doesn't feel intruding, great. The lines and jokes said by the robot was funny, make the repetitive trial and error a lot more fun.
Gameplay - Love the fact that even though there was no tutorial, the game make use of visual indications and common patterns to teach the player how to play the game. It was fantasic. However, I still don't get the pushing box mechanics. There was one level with 2 doors and you have to push the boxes into the lava to make way to those doors. Even though I finished that level, I still didn't quite understand why sometimes I can push the boxes and sometimes I can't. It seems to have something to do with the triggers but I couldn't really tell. For example, when there were 3 boxes in a row, I couldn't push the middle one first, I have to push the one on the trigger first. I still don't get that.
I got stuck at the level where there are 2 lasers and I have to cross. It seems like there aren't enough boxes but since you've designed the level, I assume that there must be a solution but I couldn't figure it out. Maybe I will come back tomorrow and see if I can beat it.
Love the game overall, I spent half an hour trying to figure out the puzzles and it was rewarding to get this far. Very well done!
The graphics, lighting effect and animation quality was high. Music is cheerful and very fitting to the game. The gameplay is simple but challenging, I find it a bit too punishing that if you ever miss a battery, you die. I think at least at the beginning of a run, the battery should appear more frequently and as the game goes on, it appears less frequent. Also how come water doesn't kill you and you can walk on top of it, yet there are parts where you can fall down to underground and die? :p
Overall pretty high quality game, I had fun. I got 831 at the end.
The foundation of the game seems really solid. I'm impressed by the implementation of grid map, scrolling, zooming, etc. However, I think the game lacks balancing at this stage. I lost very quickly even though I tried to build out slowly. One of the first game I played I started with the game over countdown :sweat_smile: Overall, pretty good foundation to build upon but the game feels not very finished and tuned at this stage.
Oh my god this game is really stressful, in a good way I guess. I managed to win and I was quite happy. I needed a few trial and error get remember where everything is as well as figuring out how to use the charging station (I didn't know where is the charging station at first, would be nice to have big red arrow pointing to them in the beginning.) The music and sound effect works great with the game and the art style is simple but does the job. The challenge itself was great, it was a bit difficult but that was also what kept me on the edge my seat! Did you mention that this is your first ludum dare? WOW you've done an amazing job. I would have thought this is your 4th or 5th if you didn't mention it. Very fun game I like it, one of the best I've played so far. Thanks you for the game! :)
Nice take on the bullet hell genre. You managed to preserve the challenges of bullet hell despite giving the player all these amazing powers because now the player has extra aspect to manage. The music was amazing, would be nice to have sound effects in addition. Graphics is great as well, very vibrant and colorful and well drawn. I found myself being confused for not knowing how to activate the power. I know I can hit P to pause the game but i thought it would just show me the same thing the game initially showed me (which did not contain control scheme). I also found that switching between power in the heat of dodging bullet is quite hard and I tend to just stick with one power instead. Maybe allow player to pause the game which switching power would add more strategic element to it? but it might ruin the intensity of the bullet hell.
Overall, very nice game. Well done!
Yay I have beat the game!
Graphics - the characters were simple but looks quite nice. I couldn't tell what are the monsters though. The fact that the color changes when you walk into an enemy territory is kind of cool.
Sound, Music - pretty good sound effects, I noticed different power up have different sound effects which was neat. Music was quite epic and worked well with the theme.
Gameplay: the core gameplay is sound I think, it is a nice twist to traditional rpgs. I had fun leveling up my characters. However, there are quite a few issues with the gameplay (not major issues because I find the core game loop is quite fun): - I think the map is a bit too big. In the end I had trouble finding the last king. With a huge map, the fun is less concentrated and less resource contention beteween the kings. - There are wayyyyy to many pick ups. The idea of picking up power is cool. However there are way too many of them and as a player I was quite confused why there were so many pickups. At the end I found out I actually didn't need many of them. I can easily farm enemies and get levels without picking up a lot of the powers. Picking up and putting back to the castle is very tedious with that many pickups as well. I suggest you significantly cut down the number of pick ups but make them more powerful (tune down the movement speed as well so you can't quickly pick up all of them). With less pickup and a smaller map, all the kings will have to fight for the pick ups which would make things interesting - Enemies spawn way too frequently and there are way too many of them. I kind of got confused about why there are enemies and they spawn instantly. They provide a lot of exp and leveling up give you stats as well. So i found it more optimal to just sit at enemies spawns and farm them instead of going through the processing of picking up power ups.
With that said, the core game is definitely enjoyable. I spent 15 minutes playing the game and beating it tells you that it is fun :) However I think you need to drastically scale back down all of the elements and try to create a more resource sacred world where player and AI actually have to fight for survival which will make the game better.
Thanks for the game though I enjoyed it!
The art looks amazing, love the paper-y aesthetic. The narrator sound effect was nice, gave out the evil vibe. Especially the evil laugh when the character dies. Losing power was well represented as visual cue which was cool. However I find the actual gameplay a bit lacking compare to the amazing art this game has. The attack and defend mechanics is a bit basic, there is no point in defending because the enemy just keep attack if you keep defending. The enemy also just keep spawning so I couldn't really progress. I managed to progress and sealed one of the spawn by forcing my character to walk pass the spawn but yea not very great. I tried to interact with the life well and nothing happened even though the text prompted me to press E but when I did press E, my character's life wasn't regenerating. So my character died there :(
Overall, solid art and sound. I suspect you probably ran out of time to polish the gameplay which is a shame. Love to see an improved version though!
Have a very strong overcooked vibe to this game. Very intense and very fun
Pros: - Visual is very nice, attention to details (different package size, timers on the packages, etc.) - Explosion! - Graphical instruction is great! - Interesting level designs in higher levels
Cons: - Bomb disposal drop are is not detecting properly when the package is stuck on the container - It is impossible to survive level4 :P - Would love a multiplayer mode
Overall, well done! Love it!
Brilliant game. I spent the last 40 minutes playing this game and enjoying myself with puzzles and the beautiful aesthetics. Love the seemly simple mechanics can actually generate4 so many interesting puzzle especially the later ones involving finding out clever ways of getting around tight spaces and dead ends. The only nitpick i have is the music gets a bit repetitive after a while. Otherwise it is just a perfect game. One of the best i have played and enjoyed so far.
Really well done!!
I watched quill18 stream while working on my game, was always great inspiration.
The final graphics is pretty nice I loved it. The game feels very polish as a compo game. The gameplay is pretty engaging. Managing inventory is enjoyable for me, maybe i just like to tidy up things. I feel like the game has a lot of potentials.
Complains i have though, there are too many things going on at one time so I can't keep track of all of them: - I don't have time to read the names because things pop up too fast. - There are too many stats and i can't intuitively compare items. - I don't really know how my character is doing because I need to constantly managing the inventory.
Overall it is a great game and have a lot of potentials. Just need to reduce the noise so that the player can make faster decisions.
The game really fits the theme very well and it has very great execution! I love the art style and the audio, it makes the game has very good mood. A bit more other ways to push people away will be great and maybe add a bit more varieties.
Amazing game! I love it. I spent 30 minutes playing this trying to reach ending 2 until i give up and look at the solution here :sweat_smile:
The concept is fun and the execution is top notch. I can't believe this is done within a game jam. Everything is perfect except the second ending was hard to get to :stuck_out_tongue:
I also ran into a bug where the computer ran out of disk and all the crash dialog pop up but the game didn't restart so i just got stuck there and couldn't do anything.
Other than that, very well done! Love this, it is definitely one of my favourite games from this JAM.
PS: is this inspired by safe360 :p?
I also ran into the mouse issue the others were experiencing. The graphics and the sound is a very atmospheric and it was also a bit creepy especially with the breathing. However i was a bit confused about the press E to activate cleaner, it seems I just need to touch the thing to activate it.
@hello1423 It was not intended (I wish it was :stuck_out_tongue: ) Probably a bug with the new unity tilemap system. Make sure you turn off anti-aliasing when you play the non-web version.
@furtive-pygmy Thanks for the feedback :) There are two endings, the "game" is to figure out how to get to the endings I guess.
@derek-volker you have to be "facing" the NPC to talk to them even though there was no sprite showing you are facing them :sweat_smile: In hindsight I probably should have took that out.
Thanks for the honest opinion however I appreciate it. I can definitely see it requires better execution for the idea. I probably should have not spent so much time on trying to write a conherent and compelling story. Probably should have been something funny.
@endurion Thanks for playing the game to the end. I'm very happy that someone managed to finish the story! That ending was supposed be the one that is hard to get to haha.
@elodeon arrow keys + space. It was in the intro dialogue :)
@mateusboga hint: you should try talk to Angela instead
@erendelous it was supposed to be 'running out of memory space' :sweat_smile:
@jsmcag try talk to Angela afterwards if you decide to play it again
@ace17 Thanks for the compliment! :)
Love the concept and the execution. It is fun to find the way to win. Would love to see the update of resources through because the game feels a bit static. However it is very fun and can be potentially make into a mobile game.
An interesting idea and great execution! It is very challenging to manages 3 lifts and 10 floors turned out. I died fairly quickly :P The visual is simple but effective. I can see that you put a lot of work into the visuals. The sound effect was funny as well.
It would be great if you can scale down the difficulty initially, for example, only have 1 lift and 3 floors or something until the player get better then you can scale the number of lifts and floors up.
Would be great if i can see all the requests all at once then i can better plan the lifts.
I also found it kind of hard to select lifts, left clicking doesn't work most of the time I don't know if it is a bug?
Despite these minor negatives I think you have done a great job on the game. I can see a lot of potentials!
I love the 2d pixel art of this game. The mechanics is very interesting too.
However I find it pretty hard :( At most i can only get 2 keys and I was pretty stuck. Would be great if you can ease the difficulty curve a little :p
Overall pretty nice though wish i'm smarter.
The instruction transition was nice and the models looks great! It is pretty fun to push other boxes off the shelf. However it is also very easy to fall off the shelf myself. It seems it accelerate a bit too fast. I got to 15 points
Good job! :thumbsup:
Nice work! Love the arts style. The game is fun but I don't seems to get any loots so I just run out of money at the end. Is that on purpose? I also ran into issue with disappearing equipments. I bought shields and equip them but they went away. Another suggestion is to show the stats of equipments because I don't really know how to differentiate the equipments because they don't have stats.
Overall pretty nice work!
Wow I really love this game. The idea is very unique and the execution is great. The audio is funny because it is all gibberish. Very well done.
However I still don't understand what the number stand for and I don't really know if the passenger has paid yet. Also would be nice to make the number clicking area bigger for easier clicking.
Overall, very well done!
Love your version of the warehouse management game. The execution is pretty good. I especially enjoy the art and the music. Later on in the game it is kind of hard to catch up with the slow movement though (maybe that's the point) and it is hard for me to differentiate the different boxes, maybe a bit more differentiating factor other than color would be great (e.g. different decoration etc.)
Overall great game I quite enjoyed it.
Love the pixel art you have in the game, they look quite nice. I can see the appeals of the game but I was a bit confused by how the resource collection works. I click the collect button but i'm not collecting anything. The wood resource was depleting and even if i built a bunch of sawmill it still didn't help.
It was very tough and I couldn't get pass level 1 because I needed to memorize the layout and the game gives me no time for reaction at all. However I did like the graphics a lot and the way the intro was done.
Good job on your first entry!
I can't find batteries so I just couldn't do anything! Otherwise it has been quite fun playing your game. I like the 3d models you made. Would be great if you can polish the gameplay a bit more.
Nice work! Pretty neat mechanics, i can see how it ties to the theme and forces the player to strategize where to kill the orcs.
I ran into this bug however where the game freezes and i cannot move and there was no enemies. I would also love to see some visual to indicate the orc hits me because I cannot tell if it hits me or not.
Good job finishing the game and have sound effect and music though :slight_smile:
Love the visuals and the mood, it is very cute and shows the feelings of social anxiety pretty well as the others have said.
There are a few bugs like the popcorns are on top the characters but the speech bubbles are behind them. You can also add a bit more variety into the key sequences and change the length of them. Other than that it is a very good game given that this is your first LD!
Well done!
The game got some great 'papers please' vibe there. Good job at making the choices tough and telling a meta story through discrete individual stories. There must have been a lot of efforts put into those writings. I also love the touch of time passing animation at the background.
Nice job! :slight_smile:
@somuch I don't think having similar idea is a bad thing, it just means you are standing on the shoulder of the predecessors so you can perfect the idea.
Deceptively simple yet pretty fun, the graphics and music is pretty cute. I would love a bit more variety in terms of crafting and less RNG for the runs.
Overall a very relaxing and enjoyable game to play. Well done!
