LD45 — Start with nothing

Desert Flight by Tero Pulkkinen 2019-10-07T06:13:55Z

I think it's actually a pretty nice relaxing game ^^ Though, I would have loved some music in the background ! It reminded me a kind of road trip game, but on a plane :D The controls you chose are interesting, so I got used to them pretty fast. At first I didn't understand that birds were "enemies", but after my first death I got it right.

Your plane model was actually pretty cool, I liked it ! :)

Good job !

OverClerked by Skoggy 2019-10-06T22:00:16Z

And you did all that in such a short time ? God, I thought I was coding fast by I think I just found a new master :D

Your game was a lot of fun ! Reminds me a bit of Overcooked (Maybe the name of your game comes from it ?), the sounds are cool and the idea too. However I had a hard time understanding how to put items in your basket. I had the basket in my hands during like 40 seconds before dropping it and trying to pick items XD

But I laughed at myself so your game is nice to play ! Great job !

Food Fight by zgragselus 2019-10-08T08:21:16Z

Pretty cool game ! I would have love some music or sounds I have to admit, but the movements are interesting, they remind me of "The Necrodancer". great job !

Chase Champions by PietPtr 2019-10-06T16:58:07Z

This is GENIUS ! I love the idea it is really fun !! And I love how you took the theme "Starts with nothing" it's awesome !

Relationship Calculator by Gao Ming 2019-10-06T16:55:20Z

Didn't really understand what you were waiting for us to do in your game :/ However, the interface is nice looking and it looks great and original overall ^^

Serene Sculpture by zirconcode 2019-10-06T20:38:51Z

The game crashes each time I click on "Remove Piece" :(

Fan The Flames by diaonic 2019-10-06T22:06:50Z

Ok so I just tried your game and first of all let me tell you that I find the artstyle pretty great, good job ^^

But I must admit that I encountered the same problems as the others : The trees are hiding some elements, and even if I did succeed to put some items on the table (I even restarted the game twice to fully understand it, I had too because snow was blocking my path after some time, nice idea by the way !) I never succeeded to craft anything :(

I would love to see some progress on this game in the future ^^

Good job once again !

Loomed by ThatRumme 2019-10-12T07:38:03Z

Nice work and cool idea :) It's a great game for achievers players. You can be proud ! :)

Bearly Alive by bjeaurn 2019-10-06T21:31:50Z

Original idea and easy to play. A great job for such a short time !

FUTHARK by dikkop 2019-10-12T07:26:40Z

Impressive work for such a short time. You can be proud, good job !

Shamanus and the Cursed Spirit by Robinerd 2019-10-07T15:07:11Z

A nice mix between tower defense and platformer game. I really wish there was some music, and if there was if it could be as nice as the graphics.. Because honestly good job for them. Everything is really nice looking, even the effects ^^

Nice work !

Off The Streets! by Evannex 2019-10-07T13:54:13Z

Neat and clean idea, I see quite few "homeless"games for this Ludum Dare, I guess it's the theme :D

The models were good looking and the camera angle you chose for your game was interesting. However, I think the character's movements were a bit slow and the buildings very spaced out, so it was quite long to move from a building to another.

Nice work apart from that, well done :)

Keep Dreaming Joshua by soyrandom 2019-10-09T07:48:34Z

Very nice art style, the sounds are great for the some of them that are here :D The mini games are fun and i liked the little story you managed to put in your game. Good job !

Lumi by jorgenvontg 2019-10-07T08:27:06Z

I think I just froze the game when I went to the "Can you defend yourself ?" :( I ran into all the lights and then they all turned purple. I collected them but then nothing more happened :(

Other than that, to what I've seen the game looks great, the colors are quite beautiful and the sound does the job. Good work overall ^^

Adrift by jwiggs 2019-10-07T08:14:53Z

Ok so I just played your game and the first thing that I really loved are the controls ! Pretty hard to understand at the beginning but after that god, it feels so cool ! When unzooming you really feel like you're alone in this deep, dark and big space. The feeling is right where it should be and that is great !

Now, I must admit that the enemies just destroyed my ship XD They fire way more than me and, more over, my own bullets collide with their bullets, which makes it impossible for me to hit them. I think you should look into this issue if you want more "win conditions" ^^

Anyway, the idea and the game in itself is great, you can be proud of you for achieving this in such a short time !

The Song of Calirum by Blizary 2019-10-09T08:10:56Z

This is really impressive ! I was really into it until I eventually lost because I was mentally ill x) The ambiance is great, the art is beautiful and the gameplay is quite innovative. I loved it, great job !

Ship It by dxk2294 2019-10-09T07:40:14Z

Well, I understood pretty fast how to play (because I read your explanations here :D ) but I got stuck because the blue button would always stay pressed. That just blocked the game or forced me to make wrong choices to carry on playing.

Other than that, the game looks very nice ! The gameplay is simple but quite effective, and I liked the audio. great job !

Tactical Bodybuilding by SuperTibbles 2019-10-07T14:10:52Z

Now that's some refreshing idea ! I wanted to try the game right when I saw the artsheet, I was like "Oh reminds me of Bindings Of Isaac" :D Well done for that !

The music is also really cool and entertaining, as well of course as your game idea. Great job to you !

Minds are Mine by EggshellDog 2019-10-08T08:07:05Z

Nice little puzzle game, I loved it ! The art is simple but really effective, and it's actually pretty funny. Good job !!

Scope Creep by 2Demigods 2019-10-06T18:01:18Z

I hope you had fun making this game !

The art looks cool and neat, though the movement of your player are a bit too "rough" for me. Nice work overall ! ^^

WayMaker by Deatrathias 2019-10-06T21:40:26Z

For me who loves puzzle game, I found your game pretty interesting ! The difficulty's evolution is pretty well handled and the art is simple enough to be nice to our eyes.

Good job ! :)

Nightwatch by Brallex 2019-10-06T16:52:20Z

Good job and nice graphics, simple but neat !

Too bad there isn't any AI so we can play solo. Maybe in a future update :D

Better than nothing by Fictions 2019-10-06T22:12:25Z

It was so cool ! I really enjoyed my moment playing your game !! The art is so cute, reminds me a bit of Bindings Of Isaac series, am sure Edmund McMillen would be so proud :D

Really good job in such a short time ! Keep up the good work !

Vengeful Spirit by Jajakeim 2019-10-07T13:23:41Z

Oh my, that was so cool ! The graphics aren't the best but it clearly does the job. It reminds me of that dinosaur game that you can play when you have no Internet Connexion on Chrome XD

I swear when the knight charged me with his horse I screamed like "Wtf how can I dodge that ?" but then I got back up and... Ooooh that was cool :D Thanks a lot for this experience !

Medieval City Sim by coffeedrinkers 2019-10-06T21:49:57Z

I made a score of 114 ^^ I don't know if it's great or not, but I can say that I had quite some fun playing your game :)

However, I think it would have been a bit better if I could erase some buildings or, even better, if I replace an older building with a new one, that it doesn't count in the building's counter. Because I lost some points because of that :p

Good job anyway in such a short time !!

Epic story of a nobody by The Osk 2019-10-07T14:30:15Z

I don't see a lot of games with tutorials for a jam. That's great that you did a kind of one ^^ The art style is beautiful, and same as up comment, I hope you'll carry it on later, it has some nice potential, clearly ! :)

Red Shirt Flying Super Powers Man by Netherlab 2019-10-07T06:20:05Z

Same I can't download your game :( I wanted to kill some zombies...

When Nothing Came by velvetlobster 2019-10-08T07:46:20Z

That is really impressive ! The graphics are amazing, as well as the sound design and the idea that is quite original. Great job to all the team for this amazing experience !

My contribution for this ludum dare 45 by TasakaSama 2019-10-07T10:15:16Z

Interesting little puzzle-game. The movement of your character got rid of my patience some time since I missed platforms because of it and had to start all over x) But other than that, the graphics are fine looking and the music is pretty relaxing.

Good job !

Broke af by coachsisyphus 2019-10-06T20:35:47Z

When I started playing I was litterally telling to myself "Wtf am I doing ?" but god that was actually quite fun !

I loved the design of your character, Alien-like. It works really nice and the animations are really smooth !

Good job !

Start with a Click by Maksim Chugunov 2019-10-06T21:35:42Z

I put some time to fully understand the game since you said you made it intuitive, I tried to go ahead without reading anything ^^

However, the minimalistic style works great for me and the sound effects are at their right place too :)

Good job !

ARCADE GIRL by ROBOWARRIOR1982 2019-10-07T05:57:37Z

The game in itself isn't very difficult (I just pressed space and went always forward, I always killed enemies lol) but the retro art style, the music, the effect, all was so cool !! I loved the way you handled the theme "Start with nothing", it is pretty unique when I look up to all games I could test, and I found it refreshing :)

Good job !

Inventory Loss by The-Vecter 2019-10-06T17:06:22Z

Nice and funny concept ! However, I may have lost maybe 5 seconds at the beginning of the game because I didn't understand how to get rid of the items. I thought I had to look at it for X seconds or something x)

But well done overall !

Empty Rooms by Pizzasgood 2019-10-07T06:08:43Z

Nice work ! The environment you gave us was interesting and your character was pretty cute, as well as your game idea ^^

Empty Sheet of Music by MisterGC 2019-10-07T13:34:02Z

That's kind of original, I must admit that I liked it and that I played it 3 times to make 3 different songs !

Overall I'd say it's a nice idea that you could maybe develop more (for a release why not ?), but what you should do is give hints to play about the tone of the note (for exemple, red notes are more for low notes and blue ones are for high notes).

More over I used a catchy music for my game too, but I must admit that yours is clearly cool too :D

Ideal Date by d954mas 2019-10-12T20:10:36Z

Nice game, though I think the timer is not long enough, it's really hard to win because you have to look at each suggested parts and compare it with the photo, so it takes us some time !

Nice work otherwise, you can be proud it's an original idea ^^

Cave People Exosdus by HowlingShame 2019-10-07T06:23:10Z

It's interesting and quite entertaining to look at where your "tribe" will arrive next. The artstyle was neat and overall it was kind of a great job you did in such a short time !

However, be careful because you have a lot of spelling mistakes and to be honest I didn't always understand what you wanted to say. You're probably not an english native but you can use Google Translate to help you next time maybe ^^

Good job overall, you can be proud !

Limbo by Jannick Larsen 2019-10-08T07:56:10Z

Hey, first of all be careful with the name of your game, because it is already taken by a pretty famous game XD

Now, your game has quite some potential, even if I don't recommend it for people who are afraid of the dark :D

Great job overall, nice ambience that puts us right into it

The Island by Benjamin Leroy 2019-10-07T15:11:13Z

Good looking little game with a nice background music. though as previous comment, the controls are pretty weird, you should have binded them toward the player's facing, and not through the world's facing. But otherwise, it's a nice little game, congrats !

J'Accuse! by bobotast 2019-10-06T17:00:18Z

Nice concept, it's a kind of remastered "guess who ?". Though, I find it pretty difficult, like I tried 5 times and I accused an innocent each time XD

Start With Not Hinge by AZAMATIKA 2019-10-07T06:18:40Z

Oh my god I really loved your game ! At first I didn't quite understand it all (probably cause am not that good at puzzle games) + I think all your buttons were not working (especially the "move in front" and "move in back" button) but otherwise god the animations were so great and the theme of your game was pretty unique !

Good job you can be proud !

Card Hero by Skyball 2019-10-06T20:31:19Z

Game is simple but quite effective ! The design is simple, but cards are even better good looking and I loved it ^^ Be careful with your sound volume though, it destroyed my ears with my headphone :D

Good job !

Dungeon Miner by Monado 2019-10-08T07:37:41Z

The art is really cool and the animations are running just fine, great job for that ! You have done a nice work with the miner's light too, it gives us a good feeling that he's deep down there, which is great.

However I don't understand why you decided to make the character face down after each move, it's pretty weird. I also would have loved some background music, but it was missing, too bad :(

An overall pretty polished game, and a great idea ! Well done !

Writers Block by Copper_Aardvark_Games 2019-10-06T22:26:13Z

God, I'm a bit ashamed of saying it, but I played for like 30 minutes and I swear I really loved this game ! Maybe I like stealing ideas of others... Starting with yours, for example :D :p

Egg Farm by kuviman 2019-10-06T22:31:05Z

This is so cool I loved it ! I swear I was jumping around for about 2 minutes just to hear that cute little sound, than I discovered the one when changing colors and oh my god, I started doing the same noises as the character ahaha

The Glowing Adventure by Clickbait 2019-10-09T07:44:44Z

Nice little game. It reminds me a bit of "Evoland" series at the beginning where you have to go and search for your controls. The music is pretty relaxing and your art direction is great looking. Great job overall !

Blank Page by zuf 2019-10-07T08:07:32Z

At first I was like "Wtf am I doing ?" but then I figured and went out to 4. After that I must admit my brain turned off, too much work these last 2 days ahaha

But honestly, you did very well, the game is great and the experience feels unique, the graphics are minimalistic but are way enough and do all the job.

Very nice !

Survival Shore by radgegames 2019-10-08T07:40:44Z

Really cute ! The art is simple but quite effective. It is true that it's quite big so a bit more details wouldn't have been too much, but other than that it does the job.

You did great job overall, you can be proud :)

Bob Bobinson's Revange by Yonman 2019-10-07T10:48:14Z

As said previously, it's a little buggy but other than that, the sound effects are pretty funny, the graphics are fine looking enough and the game is fun to play ^^

Good job :)

SwordMaster by HiveMinds 2019-10-08T08:16:47Z

Good job, it's impressive for a first entry, am sure you have some others experiences in games development ! :D

You can be proud !

Run... Away? by blint6 2019-10-07T14:00:17Z

God dammit right when I got the machine gun I was like "No pity for the cops" and I pressed my CTRL button so hard I almost broke it :D

Really nice work for a first jam dude, don't be ashamed, really, my first jam was way worse ! I'm sure you'll get better and better very fast :)

Bobbo the Telekinetic Gobbo by AmbaDev 2019-10-12T07:32:23Z

Nice music that puts us right into it. Your character's walking animation was actually pretty funny too ! Nice work for a first entry :)

Scrap Seekers by Gonzo13 2019-10-07T14:02:53Z

At first I didn't understand it was a race game x) But at the end I was like "Oh ok that's how it goes" and replayed it. I finished first on second round so I was pretty proud of myself :p

Overall the game is fine looking, the graphics are cool though I think I would have loved some animations :D

Great job !

Objectophile by Augustus 2019-10-07T10:08:46Z

It's a nice little interactive game with so really nice photos if you know where to find them :)

Good job overall ^^

Mr.Grind by iozsaygi 2019-10-06T18:04:04Z

The art is neat and the gameplay is simple enough for us to understand. However, I didn't even have time to buy anything when the truck came :( Nice work overall !

The Mystery Box by W0lfEnstein 2019-10-07T10:29:04Z

You tried my game so I definitely tried yours !

It's a very nice game, good looking, reminds me a bit of "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" but for a single player, and that's kind of a concept !

Good job, very polished :) You can be proud ^^

The Defective Detective by Polyethyleneglykol 2019-10-07T14:17:21Z

It's actually a very polished game. I had fun playing with it and listening to the radio, I stood for like 2 minutes just to listen to it XD

Great job !

The Legend of Nüdacus by dummydojo 2019-10-08T08:10:08Z

My god this is a really impressive work, very polished ! The game is fun, the music and sounds are awesome... That's awesome. Really great job you can be proud !

Bleak by ajahks 2019-10-07T08:34:43Z

I played for about 10 minutes so here's my impression : - At first I was like "Wtf ? My right click power doesn't do anything" - But then after only right clicking I noticed it pushed away "Unrevealed" blocks + hurting enemies. So I was like "Ok this is cool, but what's the goal ?" - Then after some times, there was too much enemies and I felt really oppressed XD

So overall, I like the evolution of the feelings given by this game. At first we feel alone and then we would love to be alone again at the end :D

Good job overall !

Hermitage by squimmy 2019-10-06T20:41:32Z

I don't know if it's what you wanted, but I won the game in litterally 30 seconds XD

However, the art is nice, I loved the animation of your little guy ^^

Nice work !

Boss Battle Royale by Gold5Games 2019-10-07T06:05:08Z

It's really nice work, I understand why you said you had hard time finishing it for the compo !

Though if I can make some feedback, the fire progression is way too fast, think about the fact that the player needs to understand how to play, try the items, or whatever. For my first run I lost precious seconds in the beginning and I was trapped after opening my first chest :D Even though it doesn't kill me instantly, I lost hp too easily.

The boss animations are awesome, I really liked the fights :)

Good job overall !

Semantics by WashingMachinae 2019-10-07T14:06:32Z

Same as up comment, I was like "Wtf ?" but then I left stage and said "Ok that's actually fun" and kept playing it... ^^

Great job for being right into the theme !

The jam ends in 1 second by Tadeas Paule 2019-10-07T08:50:14Z

I hope you didn't have as hard time as I did when making your game :D

Nice work for a first shot, you can be proud !

Devour by vivienw 2019-10-07T06:27:00Z

Same problem here I can't download your game it says files are missing.

Maybe you could compress your whole games files are a .zip file and share it with us so we download everything ?

LEGS by moechen 2019-10-07T15:00:11Z

Oh my god. 10/10 for the art style and the music ! I wish I could draw like that :O

Game idea is awesome as well as everything around it. Very, very good job !

A bard's Journey by Kanonix 2019-10-07T05:51:14Z

@nachtwitch Aha thank you ! I had fun writing them :) And am not an artist at first, so doing the graphics took most of my time ^^

A bard's Journey by Kanonix 2019-10-07T06:24:31Z

@robowarrior1982 Aha thank you ! I had a lot of fun making them :)

A bard's Journey by Kanonix 2019-10-07T08:16:45Z

@0xkalle Thank you ! When I had this idea I was like "Oh my god this is so cool" :D

A bard's Journey by Kanonix 2019-10-07T09:59:01Z

@w0lfenstein It stays in your head for a while after that, right ? ;)

A bard's Journey by Kanonix 2019-10-07T10:49:29Z

@hcursino Thanks a lot for this kind feedback ! I took some time writing down the GDD before actually making the game :)

A bard's Journey by Kanonix 2019-10-07T11:53:13Z

@coachsisyphus Ahaha go ahead ! I really did my best to make the game experience as smooth as possible. In theory, there isn't much bugs or whatever. + I worked hard on a difficulty progression algorythm to give you a possible long run experience if you're quite good with rythm games :D

A bard's Journey by Kanonix 2019-10-07T12:37:24Z

@j0ye Aha I love to know that somebody in this world will carry on playing the game, though you have to know that there are some of my ideas that I didn't put in this game yet ! Maybe it will come out one day :)

@blint6 Very nice criticism, thanks a lot for this ! I agree that it's more of a typing game, though the rythm to follow was the different parameters from the notes : Speed, instance speed, "wave" degree, ... Maybe the term rythm was inappropriate. Thanks again for this kind feedback !

A bard's Journey by Kanonix 2019-10-07T13:11:25Z

@hajden Yeah I had a hard time balancing it, though I worked on the difficulty progression algorythm for about 5 hours :D If the game pleases to a lot of people (like it seems to be the case) I'll take time to rework it a bit ^^

A bard's Journey by Kanonix 2019-10-07T16:12:40Z

@kristinamay Hey thanks a lot for your kind feedback ! The reason why you lost is because as you progress through the level, the fans become more and more demanding. By this manner, failing a note causes you to loose more and more fans at once. So at a certain point you can loose 6 fans by missing only one note : That may explain why you lost ^^ Moreover, you can't win the game, it's an endless runner. However I must admit that there is some mechanics that I didn't have time to implement, but it will come in a future version probably :) Finally, I know the issue about the line moving and causing the player to loose points no matter what. This is a design question that I didn't have time to fix, but I'll probably look into it since everyone is enjoying the game, I might polish it and release it, I'll see :)

@webus Fast and simple ! Thanks a lot mate !

A bard's Journey by Kanonix 2019-10-07T17:03:33Z

@kirbloid Oooooh that's such a nice comment :O Thank you very much kind sir ! (Or ma'am, dunno :D )

A bard's Journey by Kanonix 2019-10-07T20:48:11Z

@skalex Aha yeah I may do that. I'm not an artist in the first place and it was clearly the hardest part for me. So much time for such little things :( But thanks a lot for feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed the game !

A bard's Journey by Kanonix 2019-10-07T21:42:41Z

@ktao it's unforgiving if you're playing for quite some time ^^ the difficulty is progressive, you loose more points if you fail late in the stage. I'm glad you loved the game beside that point :D

@kruemelkeksfan Oh I couldn't check that, I only have an Android so I could not run tests on other devices, really sorry :(

A bard's Journey by Kanonix 2019-10-08T09:26:25Z

@simxple Aha thanks for the kind comment ! The melody is done so it stays in your head :D Glad that it works, I didn't want to be the only one !

@eifersuuucht Thank you ! With all the comments, maybe I'll finish it, I still didn't decide yet :)

@bootak Aha thanks ! I kind of laughed too when I made the animations :D Quite hard for me since am not an artist, but very entertaining !

A bard's Journey by Kanonix 2019-10-08T10:58:35Z

@purpledartfrog well I worked very hard for this jam, as you might have understood I was alone for this project ! After all, every game requires more or less work, but if you want to know how I achieved this, then let me tell you that I used Unity for the Engine, it provides nice tools to help export to apk file :)

But other than that, getting the 20 ratings required me to try a lot of Games. It's my first Time at Ludum Dare so I wanted to get things done right ! :)

@igoreshka thank you for the kind comment ^^

A bard's Journey by Kanonix 2019-10-08T11:17:32Z

@benjames171 thank you :) You're the first one to Say it's hard, others tend to say it's easy at the beginning before getting harder, which was my intention ^^

@igoreshka I'll definitely try Godot ! But I work on Unity since 5 years now so am pretty fine with it :) And pretty effective apparently :D

A bard's Journey by Kanonix 2019-10-08T17:40:31Z

@vaibho thanks a lot for this kind comment :)

A bard's Journey by Kanonix 2019-10-08T17:54:40Z

@vaibho oh this is not my first jam, only my first Ludum Dare :) But yeah of course I enjoyed it, I love the mood of participants around hère, it Can Do us only good !

A bard's Journey by Kanonix 2019-10-09T06:39:58Z

@esben-jensen Aha thanks a lot for this kind comment ! To be honest it's my first Ludum Dare and when I saw that a lot of games were in WebGl, I was like "Oh my God I hope people would still want to try my game" and yeah, they did ! But yeah, it was definitely an Android game. I made a PC Build too but it was clearly not as fun so I decided not to show it :)

@brallex Thank you ^^ It may be a little game but I worked really hard and didn't sleep a lot :p

A bard's Journey by Kanonix 2019-10-09T11:40:14Z

@furano it's where you're supposed to tap ^^ I must admit that I didn't really know how to represent them. I wanted to make them look like musics strings ^^ I'll probably update it :)

A bard's Journey by Kanonix 2019-10-09T16:17:17Z

@whatnamegames Thanks ! I worked a lot on replayability :) I appreciate that comment ^^

Same problem as others, couldn't play your game :(

You start/end with nothing by Skemp 2019-10-06T18:06:05Z

Funny ^^ The artstyle and even the music is fun to play with ! I had a good time playing this game ^^

Homeless by Justlic 2019-10-07T06:30:55Z

Ok so no matter how many times I tried (4) I couldn't finish the first day. Even if I know where trashes locations are (But try to do not forget that in your first game, your player can't know them) searching inside trash takes way too long comparing to how much time you have before the night comes.

Otherwise, you have a nice little game. The controls work fine and we can see that you did great job on your 3D models and sounds.

Good job overall, you can be proud of you for a first game, I couldn't have done the same at that time !

Nothingness by Mazen Morgan 2019-10-07T13:36:35Z

That was quite fun, the game looks quite good and the universe (litterally) that you used for the game is appealing (I love space games). Nice work for a first time dude :)

Nothing Found a Ludum Dare 45 game by despdair 2019-10-09T08:00:25Z

For the good part : The graphics look great and I like the ambiant. It's not easy to make a narrative game in such a short time, so really great job for this. Now, I must say that the controls are, I think, a bit weird. When we are looking upward it seems like we are flying, I don't know if it's intended or not. + we don't have anything to tell us when we can interact with item (a simple text in the middle of the screen would have done the job I think ^^)

Anyway, it's still great job for a first entry and I can definitely say that you can be proud of yourself ! :)

Farm for your life by Cindynator 2019-10-07T08:02:38Z

Nice game ! I really loved the sound design, did you use your own voices to make them ? The graphics are also very clean and neat, it does the job. Well done for accomplishing this in such a short time !

Ludum Date 04:50 by irys 2019-10-06T21:53:18Z

The least I can say is that the experiment is succeeded ^^ I really enjoyed reading the text entirely and I kind of recognized myself in your words ! Even though it's not my first jam, I have some great memories mine and I hope that you will keep as good memories as mine for this jam ! :)

Really great job !

Ludum Date 04:50 by irys 2019-10-07T20:25:17Z

@shenawy Then just click on my name to see the game I did ! Or search it in the news feed, it's called "A Bard's Journey" :D

No Room to Move by Thoof 2019-10-07T13:26:51Z

I don't know if it's me who is too bad to this kind of game, or if it was kind of hard to win levels XD Even the first one I restarted it like 10 times ahaha

Great game overall, the character looks cute while being very simple, the music is great and the game is fun. Good job !

Robo-Parto by Vaibho 2019-10-08T08:03:37Z

There is quite some bugs in your game, for example your background is not correctly extended so we can see the camera background, or I fell outside of the game terrain and fell indefinitely.

Other than that, the art is really cute, the music does the job, and it's pretty promising overall. I liked the little scenario at the beginning, though it's a bit long I think :)

LD46 — Keep it alive

Hostage Escape by Maksym 2020-04-23T10:44:38Z

Impressive game ! I do think that the slow motion added some twist and, ironically, some dynamics to the game. Overall it makes me think of some mobile games from Voodoo that I actually played some times, however yours got no ads and that's what makes it better ahaha

Well done !

Todd and Bobb's Excellent Adventure by bigbadollie 2020-04-21T03:05:12Z

Nice artistic direction and cute idea ! Though, I must admit that I kind of ragequit when I lost my dragon after some time, because I couldn't get it back, the zombies kept on knocking me down x)

But great job overall, you can be proud !

Keep The Party Alive by tuesi 2020-04-22T12:22:36Z

Nice entry ! It was innovative and the graphics, though simple, were cute and fit nice to the game ! Well done :D

Lich Clicker by Fictions 2020-04-21T17:34:54Z

Impressive work ! Nice sound design (I have to say it because I struggled a lot doing mine :D ) and really nice art direction ! It's a nice approach of the clicker genre. Really nice work, you can be proud !

Growing defense by Fis 2020-04-24T10:42:07Z

The game is really nice looking ! The music fits very well too and I played for about 15 minutes, which is a record for a game jam game ahaha (I admit that I love tower defense genre so you scored some points there ;) )

Well done nice entry !

Keep IT Fed by Jammin 2020-04-28T08:07:15Z

Nice little game ! As others said, the way you used the theme is quite clever and you can be proud of achieving this game is such a short time :) Also, as french developers we should support ourselves right ? :D If you like using humor, you should definitely come and try our game too ! You'll have fun, promise :D

Again, well done !

Fleur Defense by SamStallion 2020-04-22T10:24:16Z

Truly impressive ! The music, the art, the gameplay.. There is everything ! Lovely !

Keep Her Light by arche-san 2020-04-21T17:23:19Z

The graphics suit really well to the story telling genre and the music is so lovely ! It's very ambitious from you to have chosen a narrative game for a jam, but god you did it really well !

Great job !!

Reckless Brave by dimlight 2020-04-22T12:40:11Z

Impressive entry ! You can be proud, the audio, graphics and even gameplay are really fun !

The Dragon's Curse by Aditya Kumar 2020-04-21T02:54:15Z

Impressive !

Porco Grosso by mirsakka 2020-04-21T10:12:27Z

Apparently I'm not the only one making WTF games :D Nice work dude, really fun !

Gimme The Tree by Mikado 2020-04-22T10:41:55Z

Projectiles are way too slow, and sometimes it doesn't stop after hitting an enemy so it actually hits multiple enemies ! (Which is fine to me but since it doesn't do it everytime I suppose it's a bug)

The music is fine, it does well the job ^^ The art is cute too, you did some nice work on light effects. Good job overall !

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-04-21T03:23:50Z

@caps-unlocked Thanks a lot for your kind comment ! We had a lot of fun making this game :D

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-04-21T03:37:15Z

@dreamcastgh0st thanks a lot for your kind comment !

To be honest with you, we worked hard to get as close as possible to the extreme stress that you could feel during an exam. Moreover, we had a lot of fun making those animations and, rewarding the supervisor, I spent whole sunday coding its behaviour ! A nightmare :D

Finally, about the text, we struggled to find the right balance between high speed / less time to read and slow speed / less time to play. Not being able to pass the dialogues is part of the gameplay, as it is an additional penalty for having been caught cheating :)

Thanks a lot for playing !

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-04-21T03:40:56Z

@foursay hey it's actually not broken, it's just my mistake I wrote HTML5 link where as in fact it's a .exe ^^ I'll change it as soon as possible thx !

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-04-21T03:46:02Z

@exevirus It gives me a huge smile on my face knowing that you and your family enjoyed our game !

As for the multiple levels, to be honest it was our initial plan, we also had one more feature that we couldn't add. This is due to the fact that first, it's a jam and there is Always things that weren't planned that Comes up and two, Sofy and I both have a full Time job and so we basically got 8 hours less to work on the game ^^

However, we are really proud of the result and are happy to see that you're enjoying it as much as we enjoyed making it !

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-04-21T03:50:07Z

@kingmatthew thanks a lot for your kind comment ! You can be sure that we wanted to do even more, but Time is not our Friend during game jams :D

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-04-21T07:16:03Z

@low-mana thx for your kind comment ! I agree that the game is pretty and to be honest with more time we would have balanced it with pleasure !

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-04-21T08:29:53Z

@rooftopdog @ilimanic The supervisor sees everyone in front of him, up to around the middle of his body. Normally you have a warning when the supervisor is looking at you so you know when you're safe or not ^^

Am happy that you enjoyed the game, thanks a lot for playing !

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-04-21T08:31:45Z

@pandepic Thanks a lot for this kind comment ! :D

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-04-21T12:14:57Z

@mikydev Thx a lot for your kind comment ! It means a lot to us :)

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-04-21T15:56:49Z

@sedna Aha thanks for the nice comment ! @iker-diaz It was the first time I created sounds, and since I also worked on all the code, it was a bit hard and I didn't have time to polish it. Sry if it disturbed you ! @vivek-sharma20 It's more like you need to adapt your choices depending on where is the supervisor, rather than do whatever you like. That's the challenge, yes ! :) @tomas-selmeci Thank you for your comment ! We're both happy that you enjoyed our game :D

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-04-22T08:09:40Z

@xj4966 Aha imagine me when I was making the sound in the middle of the night ! :D

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-04-22T10:38:56Z

@mikado Yeah you got it, all pupils look the same because we ran out of time XD All the animations took pretty long to make, even more when we consider that because Sofy and I have full time job we couldn't work on monday :/ So we did as well as we could !

Sorry about the pause menu ! But same as before, we ran out of time aha :D

I'm glad you enjoyed the game !

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-04-22T18:46:25Z

@max-louis As I said in previous messages, we didn't let you skip messages on purpose : It's part of the "punishement" for getting caught. However, we hear you and are currently thinking about releasing the game in a future final version or not. If we do, we will definitely rework the dialogues system :)

@game-coder28 Thanks a lot for your kind comment !

@jeremy-ryan Thank you ! To be honest I have a very few experience with sound, and because we both worked on monday we had a very short time to work on the last day of the jam ! I am aware that the Supervisor needs some tweakings. I took more times working on the AI and it's pathing / catch system rather than its vision system, which was working fine but might be too large. My bad ^^

Glad you all loved the game though, thank you !

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-04-23T08:38:13Z

@hare-software Thank you for your kind comment ! I must admit that we are quite proud of the result even though we basically had one day less to work because of our respective full time jobs ^^ For Sofy it was her first LD but for me it was my second (even though I made way more Game Jams) so don't hesitate to take a look to my Itch.io :D

@injured Thank you to actually point this out aha ! I have very few experience in sound design but it was very clear in my head about how I wanted the player to feel when playing this game, so I did my best to do it ! Regarding the look to the theme, to be honest I got the idea because my gf has exams coming soon and she is very stressed, so it reminded me about the time when I had exams and I was like "That's so me before coming back home !" aha :D But yeah, with a day less to work, we got really tired from this jam even though we will definitely be part of it again :D

@amerigo-gazaway Thank you ! The art is actually inspired by a french series called "Les Kassos" but it's true that the art is quite close to Rick & Morty ! Nice catch !

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-04-23T09:36:45Z

@echo-team I'll make sure @sofy35 reads this ;)

@justin-c Thank you ! We'll definitely need to rework the AI but with all these feedbacks, don't worry, we got some ideas ;)

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-04-23T10:46:05Z

@chertkov hehe thx for your kind comment ! As I said to others, sounds were clearly our weakness since we were a team of 2 and none of us had plenty experience with Sound Design. However, I must admit that I had a lot of fun making those sounds and will definitely practice to get even better at it !

I'm glad you enjoyed the game :D

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-04-23T14:35:49Z

@shadow30 & @manderxan thx for your kind comments ! Don't worry, we are planning on reworking the Supervisor AI, we identified multiple solutions, we just need to playtest them and see which one works the best ;)

We're glad you enjoyed the game !

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-04-25T21:09:05Z

@kaafirookie THX A LOT for these precious feedbacks ! First of all, you must know that if we asked for your feedbacks it's mainly because we loved making this game and we actually want to finish it ! The gameplay is adapted to mobile so we are planning on releasing on mobiles platform.

Now, in response to all your feedbacks, you must know that we ran out of time and we kind of needed to "skip" balance time because Sofy and I both got full time jobs, so we worked whole monday and lost a LOT of time. However, we planned on reworking the Supervisor AI and got a lot of ideas to actually make it more "fair". Additionally, I have very few experience with Sound Design so it was really hard for me to actually synchronize everything ! Finally, I actually keep track of every feedback and even if some of yours were already on the tracks, you made some new remarks that we will definitely take into consideration !

Again, thx a lot and we are very happy that you enjoyed our game !!

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-04-28T19:03:42Z

@sharks Aha thx for your kind comment ! Yes, she's really afraid of her father that's why you have to cheat, to keep HER alive ! :D

@laura-del-pino Thx a lot for this kind comment ! We worked really hard, especially because we actually had a day less of work because we both have a full time job. But we did our best and are really proud of the result. We are even more happy about the fact that people actually enjoy the game :D

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-04-29T14:51:59Z

@vesper Thx for your comment ! About the dialogues, we definitely heard you and since we actually decided to carry on working on the game, we actually reworked the whole dialogue feature and yeah, you can skip dialogues now :D :P

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-05-08T16:30:02Z

@hgcummings Thx a lot for your kind comments ! In case you didn't read the comments above, we decided to carry on working on the game and we reworked some mechanics. The supervisor got reworked and is working slightly different now :)

We'll probably publish updates of the game regularly, here or on Itch.io. Feel free to follow us if you're interested ! :D

The Birb by Ilimanic 2020-04-21T10:09:31Z

Nice graphics, I liked the art style ! The ambiant sound is interesting though as a lot of other people said, other sounds would have been nice since it can begin to feel repetitive.

Overall, you did a nice job and you can be proud of you guys !

AC ⚡ DC 🔋 by SparkDrago 2020-04-21T03:01:29Z

Positive sides : Cute looking graphics, I liked the art style ! And the model of the "heart" to defend is really nice looking, I loved it ! Negative side : Only one : I could see my mouse cursor during the whole experience and that was really disturbing aha

Great job overall !

Garbage Cat by Matthew Bond 2020-04-21T02:57:33Z

A quite fun experience ! I didn't understand at first how we aim, so I ended up by just always charging up my harpoon before throwing it... But other than that, lovely graphics and cute idea !

Untitled Mouse Game by Binney 2020-04-21T08:02:05Z

Impressive sound design ! :O When I think that on my project I struggled so hard to get a nice result... Ahaha

Really, you can be proud, your game is really fun to play !

Flippy Fish by Doot 2020-04-21T08:39:55Z

A very high quality game :D You can be proud your game is damn fun !

The Village by ExeVirus 2020-04-22T12:14:20Z

Quite original and ambitious ! That's some impressive work for such a short time. You can be proud ! :D

Flicker by sunday_driver 2020-04-21T08:50:18Z

So cute ! The art work is really impressive ! Really, really great job !

Viral by kokiriboots 2020-04-22T12:07:39Z

"Corona simulator" ^^

This is actually fun ! I liked the fact that you could find alternative ways by going through the vents.

There was some bugs with some hitboxes some times, but overall the game was real fun ^^

Well done !

Feed the Chinga by dreamcastgh0st 2020-04-21T08:55:08Z

Impressive as hell ! :O

Keep the flame alive (adventures of an arsonist) by Llewellyn and Michael 2020-04-23T15:13:13Z

Cute little game ! Even if the gameplay is not that "unique", the sound design fits well and the art is really nice looking ! Since it's your first jam I can definitely say that you did a great job ! Though, you might want to spend a little more time on tweaking your gameplay : your controls are way too fast and are hard to handle ^^

Anyway, nice entry, you can be proud !

Nightmare Knights by Low Mana 2020-04-22T12:18:57Z

This is such a lovely idea ! It can definitely go far :) Well done for your first jam !

Keep It On Fire by Assaker 2020-04-21T08:07:32Z

First of all, congratulations for accomplishing such great work in such a short time !

The game is nice looking, the audio is nice to the ears and we can feel your hard work into the game ^^

However, you still need to work on your controls more ! It's really hard to handle and can be quite frustrating :(

But apart from that, great work overall ! You can be proud !
