Hi guys, loved your game. I thought the levels were very well designed - you did all of this in 3 days? it's impressive. The fact that you can fall from the bridges is really annoying sometimes, because the controls are a bit confusing so it happened to me a couple of times. Anyway, good job!
Hi!
I gotta say this is one of the most original games i've seen in the jam :). Cute game, as other have said it can get easy if you just drill down and get the candy when it shows up, but I enjoyed it nevertheless. I finished it in my 2nd run.
Good job!
Good job guys, I think you made a very cool game :). The gameplay is very polished taking in account that it was made in 72h. I loved picking the cows and seeing them fall all rigid :P As @pranjalbisht said the ending is a bit anti-climatic, but overall I think it's great.
I got around 130 points! In my opinion it's confusing when one of the minigames is "paused" - sometimes it has happened mid jump so i feel a little disoriented when the game unpauses. Other than that, it works great :)
Your game is very atmospheric, the sounds do a very good job, and the story is interesting. Good job!
I like your game - I think the mechanics are pretty solid, and I love the effect of the vectors when you shoot/jump, i think they look great and give a great feedback to the player. Good job :)
Hi guys,
loved your game. The music was great, and the game builds a strong story without saying a word.
(SPOILERS AHEAD)
The fact that the game had two endings is great. At first i got the bad ending but I read some comments about the other ending and i played again to get it. It's basically the same, but gives a very different feeling - the scene with the guy and the girl at the end is very powerful.
Good job guys :)
Hi man, as others have said the physics were a little weird sometimes - other than that the gameplay was pretty entertaining. Good job :)
Man, I like this game - it was so weird, but really nice done. The humor was great also. Good job!
Hi guys. I really like the mood of this game - I think it's very relaxing and the music goes very well with the game. Also just a minor detail but I really like how's the asteroid shaped. Good job!
By the way, i wanted to check your source code but the link you provided gives me a 404 error.
Hi! The initial cutscene was great - I lost it at "unfaints" :) I think the game is way too hard; I couldn't finish it, there's too many characters and sometimes you get stuck in a group of them and there's nothing you can do. I managed to get 200 kids but then I couldn't find the house so they got me. Anyway, I think the idea is very cool - i've seen a lot of games in the jam about small planets, so it's good to see some original concepts.
Hi guys! I think the graphics are great, but the combat is a bit unfair - it's way too easy to get hit by the rats, and kinda difficult to aim.
Hi! Loved the mood of the game, the sounds and the puzzle design - I think they were very smart (not very difficult but well-thought). Good job :)
Hi @xavier-indie-gamedev, thanks for trying the game :) Yeah, we are aware that the game doesn't make a good job at telling the player why he should be doing something and why it should be done with some specific character - in the third level we made some changes so it is more obvious (the characters will say sentences randomly related to what they have to do) but we run out of time so we couldn't implement it in previous levels.
@TheMadStrauss Thanks for your feedback, I'm glad you liked it. We've learnt a lot in our first jam, so I hope we'll do better the next time :).
@rongo-matane Yeah, we had that simpsons episode in our mind when we made the game :) Thanks for the kind words, they are appreciated. And yeah, the game is kinda tedious sometimes because it's not obvious what you are supposed to do - next time we'll try to focus more on those aspects.
Hi @sararycow, thanks for your feedback. We tried to make each level more complex than the previous one, so the first one would be like a tutorial - there's only a couple of things you can do, so we thought eventually people would figure it out. That didn't really work, as we've had people stuck in every level, but that was the intention :). Where did you got stuck?
@Asturk thanks for playing the game! I'm glad you enjoyed it :).
@deck Thanks for your feedback and your honesty. This was our first time participating in ludum dare and our goal was to finish the game - we even wanted to have 4-directional sprites instead of just going up or down, but we had to made some concessions to achieve the goal.
@krunoslav Hola! otras personas nos han comentado también que tenÃan problemas al ejecutar el juego desde el navegador, por lo que subimos una versión descargable (aunque sólo para windows). Si en firefox te diera algún problema también puedes probar con esa build, en principio no deberÃa de dar problemas. Gracias por probarlo y por dejar tu opinión!
Hi,
I liked the game, but as other have said it had some problems with the keyboard input and the laser level. Other than that i thought it was fun and I enjoyed the music loop. It's a shame the game only has 4 levels, I wanted to see how the mechanics evolved.
Good job guys!
Hi! loved the graphics, the jump animation was pretty cool and the puzzles were clever. The music fitted the gameplay pretty good too. The only downside I can think of is that the jump was a bit unresponsive sometimes.
By the way, the game crashed in the level with the conveyor belt (i hope that's how it's named, i had to google that lol) when the box fell in my head.
Good job!
Great game! Really difficult, i only got to the third day, but i think the mechanics fit together really well. Good job
Cool game, but the enemies that shoot at you are way too powerful, and they spawn way too fast. Tried for a while, but couldn't get past that point. Other than that, i think it was a nice game.
I really like the game you made, it's very original. However the battery was too unfair; it took a long time to charge and it discharged really quick, so at the end i was clicking everything as fast as i could instead of actually reading or paying atention to anything. The game runs in the background so i'm waiting for the battery to recharge while i write this lol. Anyway, very cool. Good job!
I like the idea of the game, it's very innovative. However i didn't really get what each thing did, maybe an in-game explanation or a tutorial would've been nice. I like the game overall, the mechanics are very polished and the combos and synergy are pretty good. Good job :)
Very cool game! I'll check your code, very interested in see how you made it in Java. The idea was quite unique, and the graphics were great. The "throwing your head" mechanic was funny and very polished. Good job!
Cool game! I liked the "golf" lighting effect, that was pretty original. My bigest concern were the sounds effects, which were cute at the beginning but after a while they become a little annoying, since there's only 4 or 5 of them. Props on using your own engine, i'm trying to learn openGL myself so i can do that someday :). Good job!
The game has a great atmosphere! The graphics and the sounds effects were pretty cool. However, the maze was too confusing, all the hallways looked alike so it was very hard to know where were you. Also, could you even escape from the monster, or once he sees you you're basically dead? i tried to outrun it and it wouldn't go away. Anyway, it's a very good job :).
Loved the intro :D it was a nice way of introducing the game. In my opinion the game was too easy, it was hard to run out of plasma so it made the game a bit boring after a while (i got to lvl 7). But overall i think it was pretty nice. The music fitted the game very well too. Good job!
Very beautiful game! Loved the graphics and the music, gave a unique feeling to the game. As others have said it'd nice to get some insight on the story because it lacks some depth right now (what's the role of the school's principal in all of this?) and it was confusing sometimes because the game has no HUD, so i didn't know you had to pick the items again (i mean i should've imagined it since the game is in a loop, but i had to repeat a day because i didn't have the key). Good job overall!
Well, that was an interesting interpretation of the theme XD. Looks like a very polished game overall, but the energy management was a bit rough. Most of the times the smartest option was to sprint to the hostages and run to the exit because fighting was not worth it. Other than that, a very solid game :). Good job!
Hi! I liked the game overall, i got to the 4th level but i think the difficulty spiked too hard there. The "jumping" puzzles were too close to each other so you had no time to react. Also I think another set of keys could've been more confortable to use, like left-right instead of up-down, because i had to had my hand in a weird position to play the game.
The tutorial bits were pretty cool (the slowdown and showing the key on the screen), also the intro. Good job :)
Wow, the game looks great and the mechanics are incredibly complex. I found it way too confusing when there were 3 enemies on the screen, i left it when you have to fight 3 of the first boss. I watched your video after that part, the game has a lot of things to offer, good job man.
The intro was great :) Loved how many spells you had, it became confusing after a while but was pretty cool nevertheless. Would've loved to see the boss battle! Good job!
Man this game is great. The graphics and sound were awesome, and the interpretation on the theme. i was not expecting to feed him babies lol. The humor was spot on also, with the rhymes. Good job :)
The game looks very beautiful, the particle effects were great. The game was a bit chaotic with so many explosions and things going on, but damn it was worth it. Good job!
This game is very fun and well done :) one of the best ones i've tried this far. The graphics, sound, difficulty and gameplay are pretty good, doesn't seems like it's made in 3 days. Congratulations!
Very cool mechanics! Haven't seen any other game like this in the jam. Loved specially the music/sound effects. Good job man.
The controls were a bit weird - i got stuck in a corner a couple of times and the jump didn't feel good, it was very hard to avoid the bullets while jumping. However, taking in account that you made it in one day it's pretty impressive. Good job!
I have no idea how the game works lol i spammed the keys at the combats and i won them all. But I gotta say, loved the theme's interpretation xD would've never thought about power rangers. Also the "choose a team" a la pokemon go was funny. Good job!
Loved how casual the plot was :P "It was the only logical solution!" I liked the game overall, specially the sound effects, but as others have said it has some design issues - the fact that you can't shoot while you jump for example, sometimes the zombies would spawn on top of cars and you can't shoot at 'em. Also the game doesn't make it very clear when you have filled the deposits. Good job :)
Cool game! The mechanics are pretty interesting, and challenging. It was hard getting a perfect charge on the boss with all those projectiles lol. Very beautiful game, and the music is great. Good job! :)
@angela-he Hi Angela! thanks for trying our game, i'll check yours out tomorrow :). By the way, those controls you mention were for xbox controllers. In the "how to play" section we put both the gamepad controls and the keyboard controls (it says something like "press the X button / shift key..."). Sorry for the confusion!
Hi! I liked the "losing powers" theme - we actually wanted to make something similar in our game, but we didn't have time to do it :). I think the wall jump was very unrealiable and the spikes collision boxes where way too big, but other than that i enjoyed the gameplay.
Great game! The first skill point is a must on the night vision lol it helps so much. I liked the skill choices you had to made, it was a cool mechanic although some of them weren't very noticeable. I had a weird bug that happened when i was moving and shooting at the same time that the player kept walking after releasing the key, not sure if it was my keboard or not. I think it was pretty neat overall :). Good job!
Loved the lighting of this game! Would like to know how you made it. The graphics overall were pretty cool. Good job!
Loved the graphics and the mood overall. Not really a fan of this type of games, but i gotta say it's a great game nevertheless.
I liked the story of the game, I think it was an original take on the ld's theme. The enemies were pretty cool, tho i only saw until the floating eye - not sure if there's more after them. However all of them died in 1 hit, so the game
It was a bit weird that the lighting followed you after you threw it, and it also allowed you to clear half the screen with just one ray - not sure if that's intended or not, but i think it is because otherwise the game would be way harder. I had to disable the CRT effect, it looked very weird on my screen :(
** Sorry, I'm not sure what happened but i can't seem to delete the comments :/**

Very cool game! The puzzles were well designed, although they got a little repetitive at the end. Overall it looks very good and polished. Also, it was surprisingly long! Good job guys.
The art and music are nice, but as others have said game has some issues. The difficulty is too high in the beginning and the controls feel clunky - the wall jump works weird sometimes. Also, i got hit by the same set of spikes multiple times because i walked on them; maybe add a short window of invincibility after taking damage.
The graphics were pretty cool! reminded me of the game "crossy road", for mobile. The background music and the sounds were also very nice. It was a bit confusing because i wasn't sure how to make each coffee, but it's easy to learn with a bit of trial and error. Overall, very solid game :) congratulations!
I got all the fragments but then i kept dying trying to deliver the outlet.. ? he was moving right and i couldn't control the character so it'd die again and again.
The game felt good :) The mechanics were pretty solid overall (the horizontal push was a bit weird but the rest worked fine for me). The honey was a bit random lol. I'll check out the source code, i'm interested in seeing how did you make it in java. Good job man!
Lovely game :) The graphics and sounds are very cute. It reminds me of the game "Elite beat agents", i sunk so many hours there :P the bad thing is that it's too short and simple, but a nice experience nevertheless.
Tried the web version, it was too laggy so i tried the windows one, that worked better. Overall a very polished game, but too difficult imo - the blood drained way too fast, even if you were killing a lot of villagers it wouldn't be enough. Also the guys with the pitchforks charged at me at an incredibly fast speed lol that was weird. This is the only game i've seen in this LD made with UE. It has a lot of stuff to be made in 3 days: leaderboards, achievements, graphics looks very good, and the sounds too. Good job guys!
I think the concept is cool but it needs some work. The collisions where a bit weird sometimes, i've jumped on blue boxes and died when i'm pretty sure i hit them correctly. Also you can punch the blinking block even when you are at 0 energy xD. As others have said it's a bit repetitive, different enemy behaviours, powerups, moving platforms etc. could've been interesting.
Loved this game :) i couldn't stop wobbling my head to the rythm. It's such an original idea! And it was beautifully executed. I got to level 12, would've loved to see the rest of the texts lol. Good job! Long live the funkotron5k
"And so the aventure continues... if the creator wasn't such a noob and worked faster :(" lol definitelly not expecting that. The UI looked great, and the graphics were nice. Really liked the background music. The flying guys were a little OP on some screens, but overall the difficulty was fine. Wanted to see the rest of powerups of the game! Anyway, good job!
The story is very powerful, and the way it is told. The graphic style and the music are great. I think the scene of the toothbrushes is very relatable. The space part was a bit long imho and i wasn't sure what i was doing (in a gameplay sense), but overall i enjoyed the experience. Good job man
loved the graphics and the music, very fitting. The batteries weren't really helpful as it took you more time to collect them that the energy they gave, but other than that the gameplay was pretty good :)
Great game! the graphics were great, and the gameplay too :). However sometimes the fps would dip pretty hard, and in a fast game like this was very annoying (but since this is a jam i won't take it into account :P). Also i personally find the game a bit easy (but other people are saying that it was hard, so it's just an opinion), i think the invincibility window was too long and it was easy to recover after that. But really, overall a great game! I enjoyed it. Good job!
Cool game. I liked that you had a secondary attack that you could use when you where out of ammo. As others have said, the difficuly increased too fast, to the point where you couldn't do much, but overall i enjoyed it.
Cute game, but there isn't much to do right now, just follow the sun with the mouse. It'd be cool with some moving obstacles or something you had to avoid, to force the player to make a decision or something like that. Also it really needs some bg music / sound effects, it'd add a lot to the game :)
Your take on the theme was pretty original - haven't seen yet a game with trains and giant cookies :). I loved the background music, it was simple but pretty cool. Also the color combination used for the background layers, i think it looked great. On the bad side, the fact that the player has acceleration was a bit weird, i overshoot a couple of times (on of them crashed on the giant cookie because i couldn't stop lol). Also the characters' style clashes with the rest of the game's art.
Awesome game :) loved the graphics and the music/sound effects. The way the character moves is pretty funny, and also he can eat bricks, that's always a plus. Good job!
Cool game overall, i think it needed more checkpoints but i read in one of your comments that they were added at the end. My biggest problem with the game (which is not really important) is that the sounds emmited from the gun would stop when the shots were destroyed. It was very weird because if you fired two shots quickly the first one would stop suddenly, or if they crashed into a wall, that didn't feel good. Also no visual indicator as to when you were going to die because of the soul gun, and actually i never died because of it.
Btw, loved the screen with the fake quote, that was cool :).
Good job!
Very cool game! The graphics were awesome and the music too. Also, the game's name is just great xD. I played the web version and sometimes it was very frustrating to plug those things, even sometimes they would be plugged but not charging. Good job overall!
The different snowman states where a nice touch, and the puzzles overall were ok. However some levels are too big so you can't plan you route, you just have to try and guess which way is the right one - not sure if intended or not, but i think it substracts from the puzzle aspect of the game.
The ice cream mechanic is very interesting, and an original take on the theme. The game however was very cheatable, if you put the cone inside the icecream machine it'd fill a lot without spilling any icecream :P
paw_for_cream_hs.PNG
Loved the graphics, gameplay and music. The game was too unfair sometimes, like the fact that the coin drop was very random (i got stuck at 35 sheeps because they weren't producing a single coin...). I also enjoyed the events in the game, were also unfair in some situations but were part of the theme and difficulty of the game. Good job! Solid game overall.
Very original game, gotta give you that! Your take on the theme was pretty original. The art, music and sound were pretty good and fitting. As other have said before, the signing documents between levels was a bit annoying. Loved the giant hand thing in the last level, was very monty pythonesque. Good job guys!
Your take on the theme is great. We always try to come out with an original idea, and yours is very different from every other game submitted that i've seen in this LudumDare. The humor is awesome! I chuckled at some of the stores in the background, as well as some of the compliments. And the growing head thing too. The game is simple but is very polished and has a lot of attention to detail. Good job!
Very interesting idea! A lot of people have made platformers (we also did one lol) but you came out with a unique mechanic, congratulations. By the way, i found a bug in the last screen. I jumped from the checkpoint and got stuck under ground :(
apfa_error.PNG
You got my attention in that entry about the game not being cute.
You are right, the end is not cute lol.
On a serious note, the puzzles are very good. Your interpretation of the theme is pretty cool too, but i gotta say that in the first level with the vulture i raged hard lol but i wanted to see the "not cute" end. The background music was great, and the jump felt great for some reason (when you had no bunnies, of course). I enjoyed this game a lot, good job :).
Poor Larry. Adventurer life is though! It's a fun game with a lots of traps, congratulations. The only downside is that the level is too long - not sure if there are more levels, i only played level 0 because i died after a while and had to start again. Maybe some checkpoints would be nice. But the game has a lot of content, i think you guys made a great job.
Great style and music. The game has a great mood, the combat is cool with all the skills and their cooldowns, but needs more juice, like some sounds or effects. Loved the yellow/blue contrast the game had. Good job guys, awesome game.
Oh man, this game is great. I loved how you used the stack of coins in the mechanics of the game, to push buttons and to force players to get them in a specific order. The comments at the end of each level were very funny, but the last level is by far the best of the game i think. Congratulations! awesome game.
Very cute game. she said no the first time :( the second time i played i didn't steal a single house and she said yes, even without ring, which was very wholesome. Good job!
Very original take on the theme. Works very good with a controller, but i gotta say i'm very bad at multitasking both sticks lol. The sound effects were nice, and the "rewind" (not sure how to call it) mechanic was very funny. Good job guys!
An original take on the theme, but i got into a weird situation:
wait_wat.PNG I think i had too many drinks... :|
On a more serious note, the game is fun to play but it was weird after a while because they were the same dialogue options.
Very beautiful game with a very interesting combat mechanic. I think some kind of tutorial or explanation would've been good, since i didn't know what most of the symbols were. Also, in the last combat the roulette was bugged - it wasn't popping the effect that i was selecting. Btw, the music wasn't looping, so there was no background music in long fights.
Damn, this game is hard. But it's definitely one of the best games i've seen in this ludumdare. Art is great, music / sound effects are great, and your take on the theme is pretty original. Good job!
The art looks great and the music sets a nice mood for the game. However the story was too simple and easy to predict from the start. The controls were fine, but left clicking was a bit buggy. I think it'd much more enjoyable with a few changes, like other users have commented, but it was a great idea.
Loved the intro! The moment of realization "wait a second... frogs are not supposed to talk!" killed me. The art style is cool, but the mechanics are a little rough - the enemies have very tall hitboxes and sometimes jumping doesn't work when they are pushing you. Also, the game crashed once when trying to retrieve the third gem so i had to start again.
Good job overall!
Damn, this game really is stressful lol. It looks great, and the music fits it very nicely. At first i didn't know you could throw the boxes, which made the game much harder! But then i was throwing them from the other corner of the room and it was very satisfying. I played the 1.3 version btw, the controls were fine. Good job!
Wow! Everything in this game is great. It's amazing that you guys were able to do this in 3 days. The bike was a bit hard to control, but other than that it's one of the best games i've seen in this ludum dare. Congratulations :)
@konomizure @hillexed hi! I was planning to upload an html5 web today, but we've been using FMOD for the first time and apparently it doesn't support exporting to html5 yet :/. We're looking for alternatives, but in the meantime I've uploaded builds for windows, linux and mac OS, both 32 and 64 bits. Sorry about that :(
@hillexed @angry-squirrels thanks for playing! We've added a new version fixing some errors, it should be a more pleasant experience now, in case you guys want to give it a try again :). I've updated the game's info to list some of the changes made.
In my opinion removing the death from falls would be too much, as it would make some parts very trivial. We also wanted to encourage the players to do some rappel. We'll discuss it and maybe make another version with a couple more things.
@sgadrat thanks for the feedback! Not sure of what changes we could make to the hook to make it feel better, but if you have any suggestion or idea please let us know.
@steve-johnson Thanks for playing the game! the thing about the ghosts is that when they get too far from the player they'd teleport to a closest location. We did this because the ghosts were slow enough that you would not see them again after the first time, but if we made them faster it'd be too complicated the first time. But yeah, this solution can (and does) lead to some unfair scenarios.
@cymansap thanks for the feedback! i see how that could be annoying, and it doesn't really serve any real purpose right now (it used to make more sense the way the game was being built initially.. but not now). I'll probably change it in our next build.
@yishalee the ghosts are spawned when you collect the artifacts. So, the more artifacts you have, the more ghosts there are, and the game becomes more difficult!
@JossComposer Do you mean changes in the music? It changes after getting the 3rd relic. And yeah, it is definitely easier with keyboard+mouse than it is with an xbox controller. What do you mean it lacks checkpoints? there's one after each relic.
Thanks for playing! (I'll update the game info to change the buttons, thanks :P)
@saramartins Hi Sara! I assume you played with a controller? The game is definitely easier with keyboard+mouse, in case you want to give it a try. Do you have any suggestion about how we could improve the controls? We tried controlling the hook with the right joystick but it was harder to jump+aim, so we decided to implement the aiming with the left joystick.
The connection with the theme is that everytime you collect an artifact, a ghosts spawns. The more artifacts you collect the more ghosts there are, therefore the harder the game becomes.
Thanks for your feedback!
It's a simple game but fits the theme. The music is pretty chill, i think the game has the right mood but needs more content - it feels a little hollow, as the levels get too big after the 2nd one. I think if the levels were smaller but there was something else to challenge the player it'd feel much better.
The game is cute and it's an original take on the theme, but damn, it gets really difficult after you get like 4 or 5 chickens. I think it could have more content, as after you've unlocked all the "actions" it feels a little hollow. The game has no goal but as you say in the game description that was a design decision. Lastly, thanks for the technical notes - i had no idea what steering behaviours were, and now i'm interested :).
Oh god, the faces. I absolutely expected someone to do a game with rabbits having sex, but you guys made it in a very interesting and disturbing way. Congratulations! About the game, sometimes i wasn't sure how i was supposed to avoid the rabbits; they were pretty much unavoidable, and the mechanics were a bit clunky sometimes. But overall the game was very funny, and the art style was very consistent.
Very beautiful game. I'm not really sure how the "warm up" mechanic worked, as i didn't feel like i was doing anything when holding the key. The art and music are great, and it's a very impressive entry. Good job guys.
Lovely artstyle! The characters and the animations were really well done. At first i wasn't sure who the intruders were so i was punching everyone lol but eventually i realized. The game has a lot of juice too.
However the mechanics are a bit lacking i think. The enemies don't attack you, so you just move from one side to the other of the room punching guys and using the special attack as soon as posible, which feels hollow. This part could be improved imo.
Overall it's great work for the time given. Really impressive!
It reminds me of the game "that level again", for Android.
Some "terribles" were really annoying, like the one with the lava lamps - it was just a matter of luck. The spikes' hitbox was too big, which made them a little unfair. But overall the game was entertaining, and i was interested in seeing all the different terribles that you had implemented. It'd been nice to have more variety too, as i was getting some of them all the time, but i guess you'd have done it with more time. Good job!
Very cool game! It has a lot of content, however after a while it became too easy, as i had a ton of resources and towers. It had some issues here and there (z-ordering, couldn't place a building in a slot for no reason, some nights had no enemies) but it's a great game :) Congratulations guys!
Btw i got this error (i played the jam version so maybe it's been addressed already, but just in case): error.PNG
The game has a great mood and looks nice, given it's minimalistic style. However the movement was too floaty, which maybe was a design decision, but it was easy to get disoriented. The fact that the game had no goal doesn't bother me that much, as it is a chill game and i didn't feel like it needed one. Good job overall :)
The game is simple but entertaining. I thought "well, this game is easy" but on level 12 i missed a few shots and it started rotating so fast i couldn't hit anything else lol. Maybe the spinning is too fast past a certain point, which makes the aiming basically impossible. I got 118 points :).
Loved the constellation effect in the main menu, by the way! A very cool touch.
Very impressive game! It looks gorgeous and the "bros" mechanic is pretty funny. Hard to believe this was all made by only 1 person :O Very fitting to the theme too. A shame it doesn't have any sound, but anyway this was incredible. Loved how the bros rolled in the ground, reminded me of this:

Good job!
Very interesting game! Loved how the events would develop depending of what drug (if any) were you on. It was a very cool mechanic. Unfortunately the game didn't offer a lot of situations but i think the core of the game works great.
The collisions are a bit weird, i went into the water and then back to the iceberg and i could only see the head of the penguin. Also happened with the enemies, they would sometimes pop from below the ice, which made it harder. On the other side, loved the music and the iceberg-breaking mechanic, it was very interesting. I think it's impressive you made this by your own in 48h.
Good job!
Beautiful game, but it feels a little hollow. Where's the background music from? It's very familiar but i can't pinpoint it. I saw a couple of weird bugs here and there (not sure why but after dying one of the times the game would reset everytime i clicked). The monster log is a great touch, but the game should pause itself when you open the log lol i didn't know how to close it so i clicked everywhere and i spawned a lot of enemies.
You should add some pictures here and in the itch.io web, i think some people won't even try the game if it doesn't have pictures.
Now, about the game. The game's idea fits the theme pretty well. The gameplay is simple but it got me hooked for a while because of the upgrades. Also i was not expecting the big, red enemy ball lol. However:
The jump is waaay too strong, you really should tune it down! Which basically make the jump upgrades a bad pick, there's no reason right now to pick them. The music also felt a bit off - not really matching the game feel or style. The combat needs some feedback, it's hard to know sometimes if you are hiting an enemy or not. Some kind of visual or sound cue.
This game reminded me of "Abe's Exoddus" & "Abe's oddysee" :P. The first two levels can be cheated easily if you walk into a wall and align all the small cubes. Other than that it's a good idea for a game, altough doesn't fit the theme that well (the last level had less cubes than the 2nd one but was harder). Anyway the 3rd level was the most interesting one, and the kind of mechanic i think should be more developed. The first 2 levels were most about skill and timing. Good job guys.
Very original concept. The "game", although simple, was very enjoyable. I think this could be developed further with some improvements (like the background of the game matching with the audio white noise). I read the post you wrote a while ago and yeah, this theme was very disapointing, it lead to a lot of similar games. But you got an idea that wasn't like any other, so congratulations!
It's not a bad idea and the graphics are cute, but needs some polishing. For example, the game has no music/sound effects, the character doesn't turn when walking to the left, or the UI doesn't fit with the game style.
Very interesting take on the theme. The movement was a bit rough but overall i think it was a great idea. It'd interesting to try this game with some kind of multiplayer.
Btw a boat got stuck in one of the matches lol. stuck_boat.PNG
@jlreymendez i'm not a 100% sure but i think it crashed into the island.
Very interesting idea :). Loved the drunk effect! By the way, did the sound slider actually worked? I changed it but when i went into the game the music volume was the same as before lol.
Good job! very original take on the theme.
Very cool idea, and the art style is very cute. The donkey mechanic was a bit annoying sometimes, having to equip the carrot to make it follow you. Also the hitboxes were too big, which was a good thing in some cases, but in other it wasn't (it was hard trying to get the tacos to one of the characters, the others won't stop eating them!) I didn't see a relation with the jam's theme though. But overall, it's a very interesting game. Good job!
I like this game! It's really cool how the things evolve as you get promotions. The art and music fit the game pretty nicely. I got a "game over" screen at day 47 for no apparent reason, was that the end of the game or i fucked up somehow? If that was indeed the end of the game i gotta say it was a great way to end it lol.
Good job man!
You should put some info about how the game works either in this page, the itchio page or the game itself - although the game idea is easy to grasp, it'd be better for presentation.
That being said, the idea fits the theme pretty well. The fact that the player has to balance the food he eats is a good mechanic. I'd have been cool if the character actually gained or lost weight in the game, having some visual cue. But it's fine for being your first jam :) Good job guys.
See you in the next one!
I have no idea how this game works :| i got to the end by spamming all the different symbols, but i didn't get what i was actually supposed to do. I mean, i think i know what i was supposed to do; but i didn't know how.
I gotta say, i think the game has a great mood, it felt good seeing the people being happy with the spider (although i didn't even know what i was doing), reminded me of the game "Dropsy".
An interesting take on the theme, but i think it could be improved to make it an easier experience for the player.
It's an original idea for the theme given, and the game is fun to play :) congratulations. It'd really benefit from having more content, like more enemies, different characters with different attributes, powerups etc. It's awesome, seeing that it was made by only one person.
My highscore was 351. riskreward_highscore.PNG
@titos2k Yeah, that makes A LOT of sense... Not sure why we didn't thought about it :/ Thanks for your feedback!
@swiftpotato Why do you say the controls are unresponsive? Did you play with a xbox controller or kb+m? Any suggestions are welcome :)
@squidcor I get what you say. You can actually win though - after the countdown the boss will spawn a bunch of boxes but those are not your problem because your turn is over. But yeah it can be a it confusing. Thanks for the feedback!
@jessefreeman Yes, Overcooked was an obvious inspiration :P The game is a bit rough around the edges (quite literally sometimes - the stickers get really stretched in some weird angles). We also thought about a local multiplayer, either coop or versus, maybe we'll do it someday :). Thanks!
Wow, this game is amazing. I love your work guys, you always make great games. The graphics, voice over, mechanics... While i was playing i had a smile in my face all the time (i think it was because of the gruesome yet funny bonesaw sound). Loved it, congratulations!
The graphics are simple but they look great. I had seen a couple of games that used the "use your corpse as a platform" mechanic, but the missiles thing was a nice touch that gave it a different spin. The jump felt a little clunky and i had a couple of unfair deaths, but i enjoyed the game and would've love to see more mechanics. Good job!
In my opinion the jump was a bit clunky and annoying at times, but other than that the game was very enjoyable, fluttering and throwing other dodos was very funny :) I only managed to get 2 eggs and like 40... things... I don't know what they are :|
Loved the game :) The mechanics are so simple, but they work great. Graphics and sound effects were amazing. Congratulations guys
The screen transition vas very cool! This game feels very polished and has a lot of juice, and i just noticed this is a compo entry. WOW WTF. Congratulations, the game feels and plays great, i could see myself playing in it current state in my phone.
The first shotgun sound scared the shit out of me haha. I love the music transition between alive and dead, and the music itself is very catchy :) The game looks great and is very well designed, congratulations you all.
"Alpaca can jump, dash, climb, ... " Yeah, so far so good
"swing, ..." Wait
"and even change gravity..." What the
On a more serious note, great take on the theme, i think you did a great work designing the levels :) The game is very cute and for some reason the climbing sfx made me laugh haha. Good job guys.
I love how juicy this game is :) i've also seen that Vlambeer talk, it's really interesting. The game looks great and sounds great, LOVED the background music, the song is very catchy! I played with the keyboard and it was a bit hard, but it was really funny. my only negative feedback would be that the birds were hard to hit sometimes and you didn't had time to react (that could be because playing with keyboard tho) and when using both machineguns at the same time the sound effects overlapped and it sounded weird. I'll try to play again with a controller, i want to see what's in that underground lab :P. Good job!
@jibbs @tadpolily yes, I'll make builds for other platforms! Yesterday I was too tired for that and needed some sleep :)
@niterich yes, there are some annoying bugs in the jam version we couldn't patch on time, we are working on a postjam version to fix them. We are also adding some basic options, like mouse sensibility, volume and a couple more things :P thanks for playing and the detailed feedback!
@yureiokami @jibbs @ladyknight1825 @adventureislands @jantaaa yes, there's a very annoying bug that causes the monsters to stop working and you can't grab them anymore :( But we got that fixed in a postjam version we're working on, if you wanna try again once we release it :D
@jantaaa hmm I don't think there's anything in the rules against that. I've done it and seen it other times and people seems to be ok with it - most people upload a couple of builds of their games to fix stuff or polish the game, but you flag it as a postjam build so i don't see that as cheating, people can still play the original
@dob thanks for playing and giving us feedback :) could you tell me with version did you play? Jam or post and platform?
@dob thanks dob, I'll check it out later. Also good to know it performs fine on web, I tried it on Firefox and it was kinda low FPS
I think this ludum's theme is not very original and people are making games with similar mechanics or similar ideas, so it's cool seeing ideas like this one :) The game could use some animations, but i gotta say the sounds are 10/10
The idea isn't very original but i enjoyed the graphics and i thought the song was GREAT, very catchy! I was moving my head all the time haha. The controls felt a little clunky at times but it wasn't really a problem. Good job guys :)
@csanyk hi! In the jam version the exit button is broken, yes, but the phone/door should work. Just in case, que phone is outside the house, in a little table, not to be confused with the Nintendo switch which is near the TV.
@le-american hi! Thanks for playing :) what do you mean you can only throw the ball sometimes? Some kind of bug? You can only carry three balls at once, maybe you didn't have any?
