This was AMAZING! I loved the combat system and the difficulty was just right for me. I want to see more of this now :drooling_face:

Actually tho I loved how polished things were in your game! I am now intrigued to know more about Mocha and why people seems to hate cats. Keep up the good work!
amazing

Hi Devs, I haven't gotten around to trying out your game yet, but I had the issue with running the game as well and I saw the solution you posted about making a batch file ``` cmd /c "SET HOMEPATH=/Users/KP&SET HOMEDRIVE=C:&LD48.exe" ``` This worked and I found that setting `HOMEPATH` to `~` also makes it work for any user I've tried it on. This leads me to think if it would be possible to have it coded into the game so it supports more players automatically.
I'll try your game and give feedback as soon as I get a chance to!
~~Hi Devs again, I am finally getting around to try out your game, but I am unfortunately running into the empty file explorer issue. The fix that you mentioned that "works for me" was only to get the exe running. Before, when I run the exe it just doesn't show anything. I'm sorry if that caused any confusion. I will look to see if I can resolve the issue locally on my end~~
Hi Devs, I'm unsure of what exactly the issue was (unfortunately I am no expert in batch) but I cooked up this batch script right here and it did the job for me: Both launching the game with no issue and filesystem working as intended: ```batch @ECHO OFF setlocal SET HOMEPATH=~ SET HOMEDRIVE=C: endlocal START LD48.exe ``` I don't know what the difference between this one and the one that was suggested by you but it worked for me.
Additionally, I found that having folders in the `HOMEPATH` that do not have basic ascii characters also seem to either not let the game run at all, or show an empty filesystem. For example, I created a folder called 鸽子 in my `HOMEPATH` and the game straight up won't run.
In terms of feedback, I love the aesthetic of the game. I miss this kind of theme on windows, it must've been more than a decade since I used an interface like this. I can almost smell the musty AC smell from my childhood home seeing this interface.
The game is pretty fun and simple to pick up, there's no tutorial but none was needed because it was so straight forward. Even though I knew about the filesystem quirk (since I ran into issues trying to get this set up) I still got caught off guard because of some names getting obfuscated.
I'd imagine the game to be a lot more smoother to play with a numpad (I don't have one), maybe adding support for the jkluio789 virtual numpad could be cool. Also a slight and niche nitpick on my end: I have back and forward buttons on my mouse and I actively use it on my day to day computer usage, so it felt unnatural when my back/forward buttons doesn't work in the game.
All in all: great game, 10/10 credit card numbers 0/1 wink

@cheesepencil Our game is built in PyGame so I'm not sure if there's an obvious way to do this, but I will look into it and let you know if we find something!
Thank you @eharp @bitdecay @cakestorm for the feedback! We will be looking to improve the game by incorporating your feedbacks and making a separate post-submission build :duck:
And to any future commenters, we thank you in advance for playing our game and any feedback you may have, and we will be reading them and seeing how we can improve!
@leyaotang we've certainly tried! The game engine that we used (PyGame) isn't really meant for the web so we couldn't get satisfactory web builds going :frowning2:
@leyaotang what setup do you have? does it give you any errors?
After hearing about pygbag I set aside a day to sit down and finally managed to get a web build going for this game!!! Unfortunately we didn't create this game with touchscreens in mind so it doesn't work on mobile :/

Cool game, I like how the game generates a map based on the files in the folder!
I really liked the experience this game brings about. At first I felt that the movement patterns were too easy to get past with the fish/octopus (since they only go in 1 direction), but then I encountered the tortoise, which were a lot more interesting and challenging to get past (and might have single handedly caused the extinction of the species in a single playthrough :upside_down:)
Pretty cool game, I like the premise and you've given it a solid execution! I have a slight suggestion regarding this game, and that is to make different layers have a greater variety of materials from other layers. The reason why I am suggesting this is that by the time I got to the corite layer, I couldn't build any more shelters because I have no more dirt, which was no longer available long ago. This lead me to fail that round, but because I now know about this, I am inclined to just stick around in a layer and get a whole bunch of the materials that are only available in that layer, then go straight down and do the same (I think that's kind of metagaming). I think doing some improvements in this regard will allow and encourage a more engaged playstyle
this is very strange. Thanks for letting me know I will investigate
@escapade @supergamersgames I have changed the download link to a github release link, can you try if this works? https://github.com/jryzkns/ld49/releases/tag/v1.0
@escapade thank you for your comments! There's a good amount of randomness associated with this game, the random initial velocities of petals and the underlying wind field, so it's hard for me to tune the game in terms of difficulty. After getting some proper sleep I think I have a better idea as to how to make the system better, I'll have a crack at it when I get the chance to
