Great work! I would suggest that you implement a keyboard alternativo to your control, so can receive feedback from a lot more people. Don't worry too much for the theme: game making is about making yourself happy and then showing your having the world enjoy the with the results.
Currently, the ship keeps rolling if you restart the game. It would be nice if you could totally reset the ship (position+making the ship static) when the game restarts.
I have a bit of a problem trying to play, and having to close and open the game instead of simply reseting. Good luck!
I understand that this might be an awesome game someday, but right now I'm not sure of what it is...
Fast and fun!
The windows link is still blocked, but the source code link is fine. It would be nice if you could fix the windows download link ^^,
I pushed every key that I could and clicked the mouse everywhere, and when the blue man finally moved, he went sliding backwards...
The music is charming, the art is nice, and the idea is good too. The implementation of the ten seconds concept doesn't help the game, because it feels more annoying than a plus. I would recommend retouching the text or display to feel more animated. Small details, like how you made the lion growl when an action is selected help a lot too.
Nice and fun concept, althought I'm not sure if I wish to hug or slap the person who did the music o-o
Fun chibi game, I had a strategy of starting doing a circle until the anti heroes were too much to handle...
I felt like a tiny ship taken by the waves at times. Like, "noo dummy, go back, the red ship is running away" =p.
Fun game ^^
A tip about how to play: stay mainly in the human dimension and KO and absorb as many people you see, but switch worlds constantly to gain a bit of extra seconds while moving to the next human. Also: The heart ghosts hurt a lot, avoid them the most.
>< Im sorry if the controls are a bit too difficult, we were struggling towards the deadline so testing time was a bit limited... What changed would you suggest to the controls? (maybe change the arrow keys to wasd? different keys for melee or transfer?)
We are a team of two: a graphic artist, also the writer of our story @AkitoGH , and a programmer (me) @Kobokoboshi.
I wrote the game in flash for easy web deployment and eventually, polishing the concept and launch it on android via AIR. We are glad you liked it!
Why did mr Moore had to die ._.;?
It's hard to believe that such a short time can be enough to create a truly piece of art.
Your voice actor is really cool too.
Short but fun, fell in love with that kitten XD
At first, I lost 2 times on my first trade, and the company kept going into the negatives @@
But once you own a planet, It's super easy to win (I never went higher than the sock and toast market). It's a fun game, definitly would love a post compo version :)
I liked the idea of combining techniques, but got stuck in two parts of the game: at first, when I used up all the rocks and there was only one enemy left who wouldn't die unless it was killed by rock. It would be nice to have some spare enemies from time to time so you don't get stuck in cases like that ;)
And on the boss fight, I'm not sure what I should do: I have reflected her bullets, punched her with both melee characters and shot her from affar (and combinations of that) for some minutes, yet she doesn't die.
Kepp up the goood work :)!
Even with the weird bugs (or weird screen features @@? )The art is super, and the levels are confussing but fun. Good job! :)
There were a few bugs with dialogs I found, but overall, a nice game. Good job! :)
I couldn't figure our how to start trading, maybe a bit of example screenshots/tutorial would help :)
The music and graphics are good, but I couldn't understand what I had to do to advance... level 2 ^^,
A bit of an explanation of how the world works would be really helpful to enjoy the game better :)
I(programmer) didn't finish implementing all the ideas that we planned due to learning how to flixel on the first day, but We are proud of the final game. The artist is very happy about all the comments about the game graphics :)
We will try to improve the game and maybe build a post compo version. Thank you everyone!
I loved your game! It has a nice mood, is easy to understand, fits well with the theme and it's my favorite game so far. God job! :)
Take the rifle. Drop all the other weapons, and take the rifle!
The game does have some rough edges that could be polished, but it has the most important part of a game: it's fun!
At first, I hated the screen shake, but once you get used to it and find your weapon, it's very fun to go around snipping aliens.
If you plan to keep growing your game, I would suggest that you add polish above the game, and polish over polish layer. More background graphics, a bgm, pick colorful fonts used for your texts, etc.
Keep going, and see you the next LD :)
I searched for this game because to see what did the creator of haxe do xP, but after playing, I see that I still have some way to go. Nice game for such a short time! :)
The music was a bit repetitive, but graphics and the game was well balanced: few mechanics, which when combined well made a fun full game. The black monsters which only died to the pink areas were a nemesis!
See you next LD!
It's a nice idea to start a game, but after the first two minutes, my hand it feels more tiring than fun. I would suggest working up the idea a bit more, for example: rewarding the player for certain patterns, powerups which let you paint better, maybe a bit of sound effects... Keep going! :)
I enjoyed my time being an evil tv shooting purring kittens. It would be fun if the powerups didn't cap so soon, but overall it's nice. Good job!
My sims went bored from using stairs, so once they started flying through walls, everything got better!
Its a nice idea and hard to master game. One suggestion: It was a bit confusing that for some bars being full is the desired state, while for others being empty was the target. I feel that it would be better if you tried to keep all the bars full or all empty. Good luck :)
Thank you for your feedback everyone!
I'm superhappy with the final result of my game, as this is the first LD that it feels like a finished game!
About level dessign... the truth is that it was an hour before submit time, I had like 5 maps, the mechanics, and just crossed fingers and started throwing actors here and there, hopping that the result was playable XD
So yus, the one thing to add to the future of this game is a lot of playtesting, and better level dessign. I'm glad that you liked the concept :)
File missing too...
I find your frustrations frustrating. But your ballerina can dance to youtube bgm, so I guess it got a point...
Nice theme interpretation!
I have a terrible sense of direction, so I couldn't solve the path but trying to guess around was fun. Good work!
Cooking is haaard!
Interesting entry, I would suggest coordinating a bit your efforts, pondering the theme a bit more. Good luck!
The enemies are a bit too small for me and didn't understand the zone idea took well... I did figure after the third try that the enemies were too smart and trying to dodge was a waste, so after the third try I just went shooting maddly in circles!
I liked the music and the general idea, still has some bugs (health, the game doesn't stop when gameover displays), but overall a nice work. Good luck!
It was a bit too hard for me, trying to escape was already leaving me without bombs and couldn't break the screen. Nice idea anyways, maybe it needs a bit more polish and testing :)
I'm not sure what happened, but it was fun :)
Nice game, it's a good start for both of you. Keep up the good work :)
And suddenly, plot twist...
The game crashes before starting :(
@@ I'm sorry, I was playing two games at the same time and the first comment was for the other game!
Your game does work, but I can't control the pong machine =p.
I would suggest playing a bit more with the theme idea, and pondering all the meanings of the words before starting your game. Don't get locked on the direct theme meaning!
Good luck :)
Nice little game, I would like something a bit more about the theme, like adding a screening ability to your silos, or a smokescreen to protect the city, or some other feature. Nice job!
Its fun, I would like some time to read what you have to do though. Maybe leave the letter in another color.
Thank you everyone! It was fun to play around and get something completed. We didn't have much time left to playtest, but we'll try do a full game with a more balanced ray in the future!
I would love to have bigger fists, the shrubs are deadly! The graphics are nice.
Nice plot twist! One small thing to change: if the troll swears a few times, the enemy attacks do negative damage and start healing you instead of hurting you.
I feel this is one of the best takes on the theme, great job!
Great job! I really liked how Karapo mood changing reflected on everything. I would love to see a longer version of the story.
Why do they stomp me if I'm already dead? I just wanted to be left alone!
Nice little game, though Frank seriously needs to go on a diet.
Very fun!
The best strategy is to make all enemies rage after you and run back to to your own soldiers. I liked the sense of constant danger.
It was a really interesting concept. The graphics made me feel as if I was playing on an old atari or old pc. Nice job!
I liked the mood! the game is a too fast in the compo version, but the post jam timing is good. More shapes, and maybe some more colors would be nice. Good job!
Good idea for a start!
I think it would help for the next time if you organize your time and scope for a simple single mechanic first before working on other things. A nice guide to keep in mind for your next jam: gamedevelopment.tutsplus.com/articles/1gam-how-to-succeed-at-making-one-game-a-month--gamedev-3695
Keep going and good luck! :)
Good idea for a start!
I think it would help for the next time if you organize your time and scope for a simple single mechanic first before working on other things. Finish the most basic single mechanic first, and then focus in polishing and adding other mechanics, HUDs, scores, etc.
Keep going and good luck! :)
I reached day 12 without understanding what to do. It looks like nothing changes regardless of what I do.
I would suggest adding some ingame instructions, sticking to a core mechanic and build from there.
Nice eternal slider! Tha caveman looked like it was skating :)
Confussing but good :)
Cute art, and fun game. Keep going!
Nice mood! I loved the graphics and monster creator idea. Good job!
This game was a nice surprise. My ears died during the first seconds, but cool game!
the controls were a bit offputting for me, but I liked the overall mood!
Using an engine is not cheating, it's actually a good idea not reinventing the wheel during a jam ^^;
The graphics are nice though.
I tried to go back to the wolves, but they were still invincible. Then after stonning a defenseless old lady (you can stone her from far away and she doesn't react), victory!
Nice entry, I'd like the wolves to be attackable too, or maybe instead of throwing stones, regain a bit of your wolverine powers.
Good job!
You are an epic rolling ball!
The controls are a bit hard, I feel that after the initial challenge is over (stand on a color successfully), there should be some rest or reset state thing. Most of my deaths were by marbles which kept pushing me in the middle of floor renewing.
Good job!
I like where this game is going, you need to work on more gameplay post-jam. Good job!
Gameplay is a bit boring after the first spells, but the graphics are really nice. Adding any kind of magical sounds would have been relly nice too.
Good job!
Congrats of your first ld. Nice game!
I liked the graphics and the music, the game has a nice mood. I feel that your game needs to have more clear win/lose conditions, so winning is not mostly random.
Fuin game! At first I thought the so many forms would make the game too hard, but after playing it feels perfectly balaced. You have a game with a lot of potential. Good job!
Congrats on your first ludum dare!
The graphics are super cute! The game is nice and it feels complete, though going a bit closer to the theme would make the rating be better. Good job!
It's a nice game, it was a bit hard to get used to switching powers on time. Kepp going!
Nice arcade game :)
Good job to start, keep iterating and adding polish and levels :)
Nice idea, with a bit more polish, the game would be better. Keep going!
I feel that continued walking would be better (current walking is tiring after a few levels). Instead of the clickable pad, you could make your constrols: tap the top/bottom/left/right of screen if you plan to target mobile/tablet audience.
Interesting concept, good job!
Really addictive game!
The game needs polish, and a more natural feeling. I couldn't find a good use for being other thing than a circle for the most part.
It would be nice to have other control options too, for those not used to wasd. The idea has potential, keep going!
It's nice, the difficulty is a bit too high for me. Good job!
A solid little game, it would be nice if the difficulty increased faster. Good job!
It's really difficult to get some poses right, but it's overall a very fun game. With a bit more testing post-compo to calibrate the difficulty the game would be perfect. Nice job!
Control was a bit confussing (ingame instructions would be nice), with double arrow shifting and moving. The game is nice, good job!
Nice job!
Nice job!
The story is nice, the graphics are good, but the game needs more polish in the mechanics part: I never got to use the fat forms, because flying to the other side was the easiest, and becoming fat required too much resources to be useful.
You could make it more balanced if each muffin could last more than one use, so constantly shifting back and forth was possible ad useful. Keep up the good work!
Weird in a good way :)
Good job!
One word: AWESOME!
I loved the feeling and humor of your game, it's something different and made me smile from the begging. Kepp up the good work! :)
