Wow, that was awesome! The time mechanic was wild, and the music and sfx were a good fit. I did find that with dash, I could jump off the track and skip the last couple puzzles. đ Great work!
Absolutely hilarious, and frustratingly fun! đ Those dang implements and their handles! âī¸ The music was a perfect fit, physics felt great. Well done!
đ The crimes are killing me đ
My fav part was the voice acting. đ
Ha, that was fun and a bit crazy! Music fit the mood perfectly. đ
Cool idea, the pixel art was great. Framerate felt a little choppy on my computer.
I like the starfield and the audio, really set a nice mood. đ
FYI for others, on linux I had to chmod a+x game
Gorgeous, and amazing UI / transitions / etc. I started off ok, but then people started getting angry, but it wasn't clear to me why. Or whether I had too many or too few employees of a given type. Though I wasn't good at it, it was really impressive anyway.
Fun and simple, I enjoyed it! The next thing I would do is maybe make the controls have a little bit of acceleration / deceleration. Depends on your setup / framework, but e.g. in your on_frame handler, instead of:
if (keys.up) { velocity.y = 10; }
Do something like:
if (keys.up) { velocity.y = 0.6\*velocity.y + 0.4\*10; }
If that code runs every frame, it quickly increases from (whatever it was) to 10. But it's a nice little speedup.
At first I was like, ok, a little platformer. Low expectations. Then it just kept getting harder and better. I almost gave up at "use your head". Then 3X as hard?! Then this pizza and basketball show up!! When I got to the Piano, I totally Laurel and Hardy's that thing (rolling down more than a couple times!) The one with dozens of boxes was hard, and then I wasn't sure that "box jump" was even possible Spoiler alert: I spam-clicked it. But "great crossing" -- why would you do that to me? Apparently that was the end, because I never came out of that door? Had to take a screenshot to prove it. đ
Bravo!
Both our games are about quick-fingered physics - yours is definitely harder, but mine scores on time, so maybe we're even. ;) LMK how you like it: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/fedup
Gorgeous graphics and mood. It was a little hard to get started / not sure what to do. I planted some potatoes. Then a basket sometimes showed up with something that flickered inside? But nothing really seemed to happen. đ¤
Cool idea, and great execution. Having an EE degree, this is a neat concept.
Great artwork, creative UI. I couldn't deliver the pizzas once I got to the door. Maybe I had the wrong order? đ¤
Link seems broken - https://ethernal-tech.itch.io/potion-delivery not found
Super cute and fun platformer!
I don't see any links to download or play your game.
Cool parallax effect. The first level felt a bit long, but in a kind of sick way, the tedious comparing job was oddly satisfying. :D
Interesting, the page is throwing for me (in Linux) with error: Error: invalid wire type 4 at offset 3
I'll have to come back and try it in Windows.
Very pretty, quick to figure out. A little slow to tell if I'm doing well or poorly, but I enjoyed it!
Not bad! I wanted to try it on a touch device, but the game didn't scale to fit my phone, so I was left to awkwardly pan around. Otherwise, I enjoyed it! Good work.
Seemed like an interesting idea, but it got stuck at "Tutorial Cleared, press up to continue". Pressed up, nothing. Tried a bunch of other keys... nothing. Refresh and tried it again, just to be sure.
Great game! It has a nice balance between "it's hard" and "one more time and I'll do better!"
Great art style, hilarious!
Yeah, I kept the planet alive a long time, then sorta gave up. :)
My only issue is that I couldn't pay attention to the sweet graphics -- I was concentrating on timing the notes! :) Too awesome!
Clever puzzler with slick graphics and ui, really well done!
Awesome game, great job!
Super slick graphics! Is there any way to avoid the tank fire? Ooh, I missed the "boost" hint. Anyway, really cool!
Nice classic feel to it.
Nice "tunnel nav" game, I like the movement of the fish and the graphics, especially.
Wow, freakin' awesome!
Ha, great interpretation of the theme! I enjoyed it!
Awesome job! Hard, but a lot of fun.
What tool did you use to create the pixel art animations?
Wow, the graphics and sound are awesome, the humor is great, and the discovery aspect is super fun. Really great job!
HINTS for those having trouble finishing: Some objects need to be used with other objects, you can use some objects more than once, some things you interact with are not obvious. =)
I played this for some time. Great job! When I started moving quickly, I appreciated that the menus updated when actions happened in the background.

This was neat to experience.

Unique and fun concept. A little slow for me, but that's ok.
Destroy these tiny creatures, they are nasty and swarming by HangoverGames 2024-10-14T19:22:20Z ♥ 1
This was fun... and I felt bad for continuing to play. đ

Ha, fun (and a little annoying!) really nice work!
Tiny Defender by AdrianGray 2024-10-13T03:44:30Z ♥ 0
Nice graphics and animations. Seemed like I started with a lot of units, and it was a little confusing. It might be better to start with only a few, then gradually I learn how they work.

Wow, crazy mood points, the music was intense! Great job.

Not bad, I enjoyed it! Nice little animations. Being able to move your units is a unique twist.

Simple but enjoyable. After an accidental placement destroyed my first attempt, I made a better plan. I think I won - no more waves after 21, right? đ
Ghosts! in the Garden by Athaeryn 2024-10-08T15:10:02Z ♥ 0
Fantastic animations, and a really nice tile set. Nice keyboard hints in the beginning. The gameplay is simple, but that's the only downside. If the ghosts fought back, it could be more interesting.

Same error here.
