LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Rocket Express! by wizzardMaker 2017-12-07T15:56:28Z

Hi nice game! Took a while to get the hang of it but it's a pretty cool game. It also is a really good use of the theme. I agree that the game lacks polish but with 48 hours it turned out great. Good job!

Splotch 2 by Sebastian Lague 2017-12-06T14:06:12Z

Hi I really liked the game and it's idea. It was nice randomly seeing you since I like your videos very much and have been subscribed. Great game and I'll be waiting for your behind the scenes like with your previous game!

Nice concept, quite challenging and I found the game pretty amusing. But there's this bug that when you die and restart it doesn't work...

The Will of the Wisps by adsilcott 2017-12-05T18:06:34Z

Definitely the best game I played here so far. The mood and music were amazing and the art was absolutely stunning!! Very well done and I don't understand how come only so few people have played so far. An amazing experience thank you so much for making this!

The Will of the Wisps by adsilcott 2017-12-06T20:45:40Z

You've been featured in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEapySEVwTE glad to see this game really took off! Definitely deserves at least number one in mood!

The Will of the Wisps by adsilcott 2017-12-07T08:03:33Z

Thank I really can't explain how much I loved your game! It's a pretty cool being thanked by you guys, it's my first LD and I am not used to having the developers of a game Talking back. Glad to be one of the first who played it,hope you enjoy the rest of this LD :smile:

Cool game! It's missing a regenerating energy meter to manage your attacks and maybe axe upgrade but overall loved the music the game!

I'll Take You To Tomato Town by adamgryu 2017-12-06T13:56:14Z

Great Game!! Funny I made a pretty similar game in concept just 2d not enough attention to the arm and not as good as yours. Very nice submission :smile:

Don't Kill The Zombies! by Lestat 2017-12-06T12:15:15Z

Just tested the game and it works fine on Mac but the frame rate isn't very good, so glad to see some mac builds I can play! All and all nice game with pretty funny sounds great submission for 8 hours.

Just Another Day by DraperDanMan 2017-12-06T12:20:33Z

Nice game good to see a mac port! I am missing out on a lot of games for not having windows so it's fun to play some that I can. Pretty good game!

Swift Thief by kantora 2017-12-04T07:26:34Z

I plan on getting the game to run on itch.io on a browser. I will probably update the description with a link when I'm done. Thank you for letting me know!

Edit: The game is now on itch.io

Swift Thief by kantora 2017-12-04T17:48:13Z

Thank you for your responses! While making the game I wasted a lot of time on that menu every time I started too, there's just some magic to it! I thought about making it more "gamey" as you suggested but I wasn't actually planning on releasing it so it's just the bare bones of an idea. When I saw the theme I started brain storming and decided to make this game for myself but it just spiraled from there...

Swift Thief by kantora 2017-12-04T18:14:00Z

lol that's a neat idea should've thought of that :smile: Thanks for your feedback!

Swift Thief by kantora 2017-12-05T14:31:40Z

So glad to hear you all liked the game and especially the menu screen!! That screen sure is a lot of fun but unfortunately I didn't even think about making it a game mechanic :cry: Anyways it was a lot of fun to make and I'm really happy you guys love that arm in the menu. Your feedback is deeply appreciated thank you so much!!!

Swift Thief by kantora 2017-12-05T17:21:51Z

@thetophatnoob yeah I can't rate like 75% of the games because I have a mac so it's nice to see mac ports every once in a while... Thank you

Swift Thief by kantora 2017-12-06T05:21:30Z

Thank you so much! @krasssenstein That happens because everyone in a certain radius has a chance of looking so sometimes someone further will look while someone next to you won't. However tweaking the chance based on distance is a nice touch! I might just remake the game with all of your suggestions in mind when ludum dare ends.

@adsilcott Happy to support your game and to see the recognition it now has (though only like 2 people came from me). I just found it to be a real masterpiece. From what I've seen people say you're too slow or they'd like an explanation at the start but I think it's much better the way it is!

Thank you all for your kind feedback!

Swift Thief by kantora 2017-12-06T14:13:51Z

@svarttand yeah I should fix that table thing now that you mention it, I didn't notice that... and it really could use some sound and a controls menu or some kind of tutorial to explain how the game works.

@tim-eriksen Based on all the feedback I've been contemplating more and more about making a mobile version with this arm mechanic. Also it was actually stealy in the beginning but I couldn't make the character look good from a top down perspective so I just made this yellow blob instead :smile:

Thank you for commenting :heart:

Swift Thief by kantora 2017-12-06T16:28:03Z

@josh-ayres if you manage to get to the end without being caught it shows how much items you stole

Swift Thief by kantora 2017-12-06T18:10:33Z

@koficola The workers don't have fields of vision, It just looks like it so you can see their rotation. When they are looking at you they can see you stealing and when they aren't they can't. However they cannot see past the tables so use them to hide yourself. Thank you for commenting!

Swift Thief by kantora 2017-12-06T20:50:54Z

There are actually 159 items in the game but my record is closer to 110 or something... If someone can get them all that is truly a remarkable feat! Thank you!

Swift Thief by kantora 2017-12-07T05:57:32Z

@niterich It really is just template of a game but I'm glad to see you like it and think that it's the way stealth should be in games.

@kaisean-games Imagine working in an office seeing a cute yellow monster go by with piles of office supplies, wouldn't you look?! Anyways near the end of each stage they do look frequently but they can see you steal three times in a row without doing anything so it's manageable...

And finally to all, using the arm like in the menu is a great idea; Wish I thought of it before the end, it could be an interesting game mechanic I will probably explore it further after LD. Thank you for all of your responses, you've been really kind!!

Swift Thief by kantora 2017-12-07T07:55:54Z

There's no problem, just no sound in the game... Thanks!

Swift Thief by kantora 2017-12-07T15:43:41Z

@volatile go through the door in the upper right corner to proceed lol

BloXy! by sajid 2017-12-07T12:14:03Z

That was a pretty cool concept! I actually liked the unconventional way to move. I really enjoyed playing it though it was quite tough at the start. Nice entry!

P.S. : Happy to see a mac port! Don't see much of those so I can't play a lot of the games

Blood Clot by Miguel Montero 2017-12-06T18:06:23Z

When I go to play the game on itch.io it says page not found...

Blood Clot by Miguel Montero 2017-12-06T18:11:17Z

Yeah still not working mate

Blood Clot by Miguel Montero 2017-12-06T18:25:18Z

That was a really cool game! Pretty addicting to be honest could be a great mobile game! Good work I'm very glad you managed to setup the itch.io page it can be confusing for the first time :smile:

btw: got 267

Life of Chuckles by slashie 2017-12-07T16:42:25Z

Is it just me or do the balls tend to go right towards the (mostly) worse options? Nevertheless, really cool game though juggling is a bit repetitive after a while.
