Nervous gameplay and nervous music, I love it ! I also love the fact that some time you can just go up and dodge the helicopter. The only criticism I can make is that sometimes the controls are too reactive and it's hard to control the character.
Loved it, especially the music !
I'm just like : "WOW =O" !
When I saw the game on Tim's twitch I first thought it was happening in a human muscle haha
Cool game but it seems the sound are not synced.
This game looks so promising ! At first I was like : "meh you just have to pilot your drill.." Then I found the light and imagine what it could be if you added some monster or objectives because it feel a bit empty right now.
Sea cucumber.
I can't think of anything that could have been better in this game. Great job !
This looks amazing and that's why I'm so frustrated about the lack of explanation. I wasn't quite able to figure how each form of life influenced the system =/
Awesome game ! Sometimes the bird dies without being hit by the fish and in my opinion it's easier to knock out the fish but those are minor things. Controller support would have made it perfect !
There was really a unsettling atmosphere with this game !
I liked the water monster that tries to get you when you are near the water and the particles effects. The idea of the moving ground is great but sometimes it makes it impossible to cross the level =/ And after 7 pearls there is just so much flying stuff hahaha !
Creat game! But really confusing at first. And the sound are nice at first but get annoying =/
Nice game. I do agree with local minimum though.
Nice concept, too bad the point is kind of slow.
Cool idea but in my opinion the time to user the power is really annoying and frustrating.
The idea is awesome yet the delayed controls makes it hard to enjoy. And most of the platforms are unreachable.
I felt overwhelmed and I think that's the best compliment I can make about this game. Nice !
Same error as Lacaranian =/
I spend more time on this than I should have haha. Nice game ! Yet at the beginning it is frustrating when you can hardly get the coins you mine
Duly noted !
Nice concept !
The game looks fantastic but is way too hard =/
Nice game, the gameplay is neat also it would have benefited from more obstacles types.
Cool game. Putting the triangle in red would have made more sense for me but great game anyway.
Interesting idea and nice graphics ! But I have noted one bug, sometimes when you die you go back to the beginning without the score being displayed. And in my opinion the speed decreases too fast =/
Funny game I just wished the level where a little bit different because right now they are pretty similar.
Nice ! But I find it unfair that the enemy can shoot through everything.
The audio is amazing and made me really felt lonely and lost beneath the surface. That being said I found the controls really imprecise. I don't know if it is this way to make it more realistic but the thing is I wasn't able to get much farther than where you get the illumination.
I saved everyone !
Awesome game, great writing, nice graphics and good music, this is all I asked for ! The only thing I have to say is that it's sometimes ambiguous whether what we do will go in a direction or in the other.
Cool concept ! For your information there is a game that uses similar mechanism (you have to modify variable to modify platform shapes) but I couldn't find it again =/ And I think that if people do not program, what you display may be a bit to complex for them. Like if they have no notion of boolean or anything like that you should try to translate the code in a more understandable way I think.
I find the graphism gorgeous but the game is hard to play as the mouse keeps moving out of the window =/
Amazing ! maybe a bit too dificult
Nearly killed my eyes looking for the contraband ^^ Nice game anyway !
I like the idea but in my opinion the loading times are annoying.
Great game, fun and straight to the point !
The art is amazing and the concept is nice. It is just hard at first to understand how you play.
Nice game to bad I wasn't not able to switch my keyboard config on this game as playing with an azerty keyboard is a nightmare !
Awesome graphics yet I would have hoped for more things to do hahah
Awesome concept but i found the map a little bit hard to read.
A bit simple but I liked the color mix between the planets. Two bad the earth is not in the same type of graphics.
Really enjoyed your game, keep on rockin dude !
This game is neat ! And I got the 4th best score, so proud of me !
Nice little game althougt sometimes things occur offscreen, like planet matching(well i'm not complaining) or asteroids crunching my planets whe I can't see them (this time I'm complaining). But yes this is a cool concept for a mobile game !
4/4 yay ! By the way the graphics are gorgeous !
First, I though it was Palestine vs Israel..
Seriously, a bit difficult but fun !
Quite hard but I enjoyed it ! gg
Good job!
Loved that game. Scheming against your crew members in order to conserve your awereness is great. But many time I feel I'm just too pending on where does the crew members want to go. Some decoy to lure them into some traps would have been awesome. Also I've never use the electricity attack. Because once it's charged, no one is entering the room.
This game is so beatiful and the music match perfectly ! But the level difficulty is not adapted to the unprecise control. too many time I've clicked on a block when I wanted to click on its neighbour, ruining my whole path =/. But great job for everything else guys !
Can not select the level on firefox =/
I like the concept but I would have enjoyed it better if the red ball was more easily orbitable.
Not bad man, keep on working on the graphics and the soundtrack and it will be perfect !
Very enjoyed your game ! Quite good music, loved the pursuits, keep on working !
Quite cool, good job !
Not sure how I feel about it but the game is well executed !
good job !
Neat graphics ! But I would have put some kind of indicator to tell the player how far from the end the level he is.
I like the concept but I found the control too hard to enjoy really the game. Cliking over and over to get the arrow in the right direction makes me put the arrow in the wrong direction and there is no way to correct my mistakes. But if you added some kind of logical block to the belts, I think it would be more enjoyable(like if it weight more than 20 kilos go left, if it's blue go up, and stuff like that).
Makes my day: quite hard, good graphics.. good job !
Apart from the player, the objects have nice 3D models. There are a few things that I would improve in the game though. The keyboards controls really make things harder than they should be. And sometimes you feel like you're in the middle of two rows ( if i have a table in front of me, my left part should collide with it but my right won't and I'm a the right side of the screen). And why not make paperwork give you some additionnal free time ?
Not bad, good work !
Nice game but a bit too short.
Pretty cool ! Good job for the graphics, really awesome! Wish you composed a soundtrack of the same level as the graphics !
But it's a little bit slow on my computer (don't know why ?), else.. well done !
Love the graphics, love the sounds, love everything and most of all the game !
So addictive, great job !!
The idea is interesting but the more interesting part is landing and taking off planets.
740 ! I was almost done ! The game is fun however I found the controls have a kind of inertia that makes it hard to avoid the spikes. And I would try to make the animation of the arrow more smooth, I don't know why but the way they are, they prevent me to focus on my character. But good job anyway ;D
The idea is awesome ! But the physics of the screen behave weirdly some times and that makes the game a bit more difficult than I would have liked it to be.
Not bad, quite simple concept but good implementation of the theme and very fun ! Thanks !
I really love the concept, the art and the music. But the game is a bit hard to understand and knowing what are the adjacent tile is a bit fastidious. But with a bit more of work on readability of the information it would be a great game.
omg I like this "Game of Life", great idea, graphics and sounds !
Thanks for that man !
hahah seing the hand typing while we hack is nice !
Nuno, I hope you will forgive my lack of sleep, the right file should be available now !
Thank you all for the feedback, we appreciate it. And Thanks for the link Spotco, I'll be sure to watch it !
Very cool game ! Sadly I couldn't connect to a multiplayer game. And when I switch the third tile but there is an ennemy on the one I'm switching which, I die, which is understandable, but I would have prefered to be left unharmed since I completed the three tiles combinatio.
Haha quite hard with AZERTY keypad !Anyway, very interesting game, cool graphics and audio ! Thanks for this !
There is not much of a goal which is sad because the game is gorgeous and all the evolutions are really good looking. It's nice to see the cells evolve in something more complicated.
Nice and addictive game ! It looks like the dash does not always work. Anyway the game is still enjoyable ! And I suggest we should be able to see the characters at all times. Because right now if we stand on bricks at the top of the screen we have no idea where the character is.
I'm playing a game about someone playing a game about someone playing a game. Ok you got me there, this is so much fun !
Wow this is awesome, everything is great and well balanced. The concept is original and well implemented. Graphics are gorgeous. The mood feels perfect. The only "negative thing" is when you want to go to another side, sometimes it doesn't react on the first try. But really it's nothing compared to how great th egame is.
Nice game overall. I would make the cubes starts poping on the same side of the player. This way we don't have to wait one turn to start playing.
Please compile a Mac app or I suicide myself.
The graphics are nice (is the monster generated randomly ? because I feel it didn't had the same head the first time i played). The physics is promising but too hard to use. When the hand and legs gets behind the body it is near impossible to grab them.
Really nice looking. There should be more explosion or another objective than just eating bricks. By the way the pause effect is awesome.
Amazing ! I kept loosing in the walking castle so i can play with the physics again and again. Until now, this is clearly one of my favorites games of this LD. And why not had some sort of slow motion button ? ;)
Great graphics, the audio is discrete but well done. At first I didn't understood why i was loosing but it was because I did not had anymore fuel. Apart from that the player feedback is good. The only negative thing I encountered is the car physics. Don't get me wrong, it's working and quite good, it's just that it feels a little bit stiff. I don't know if it has to do with having no animation for the car going up or down or if it linked with how the car respond to the input. I just have a feeling that it could more enjoyable. Oh and sometimes there is a long time before another car to hit appear.
Good job !
@Headmade I'm sorry about the lag, it was much less visible on my computer so I discovered the problem too late. I tried to quick fix it in the second package on gamejolt. It is not perfect and the physics may behave weirdly but it should be more playable (I hope so). I guess I will have to rebuild the physics system from scratch to make it run smoothly with a cool render.
Interesting concept and well conceived tutorial, too bad it's that short.
Liked the music, the zombies dancing and the end. Had some glitch with mouse control but I think it was because of the embeded webplayer.
The idea is interesting, the music is cool but I do not really understand how the buses choose their path. ANd waiting 24h hours is a bit long.
Wow this is neat. The only thing I regret is not being able to attack ennemies without being hit back.
Great work ! Only negative point I find is that it is a bit repetitive but the ennemies variety compensates it ;D
Nice graphics ! The music is also cool. But if feel like I'm not doing much in the game and the door to the garage and the kitchen were hard to find.
Thanks the comments I was able to grasp the game concept and see that it was much deeper than what I thought at first. Once you know the rules I do have to say that the audio feedback is well done. Maybe some way to buy triangles would be a great add to the game.
I didn't know what to expect of this game but I was not disapointed. This surely isn't the best gameplay ever but the sounds mixed with the graphics is hilarious !
And I couldn't manage to hear the john Cena music in game.
The controls feels heavy but the graphics are nice. The game finished before I was able to collect money for the last to objetcs. I don't know if it's intended or not.
The graphics are really nice ! I feel the time limit is unnecessary and when the crate spawn behind the camera it's a bit awkward. And I didn't really understood how the ennemies behabed because I think they did not entirely followed my path. Maybe you could shine some light on this ?
At first I didn't understand well how the physics worked but then... Damn this is a cool gam ! good job !
Graphics are simple but efficient. The music is cool. The game is super harsh but i think theres is a bit a frustration in it. I mean respawning directly after being hit is a good thing but when you fall it takes too long. I found out that you could double jump after a long time. Maybe put the controls in the description ?
Also I find that the ennemies lacks a pattern, making it to progress when you do the level for the umpfteen time. Good job anyway ;D
This is a great game. More feedback when you get hit more ways to interract with the environment would have been great but great job ! love what you did whith the audio mixer.
The graphics are simple but enjoyable (i think animations contributes à lot to it). The concept is really cool and funny. It's nice picturing myself as this sooo adorable lochness monster. I had a hard time figuring the control. I couldn't understand that i needed to press up and swin at the same time to go up. Maybe some indications in the description ? I would prevent the frustration i had.
The art is neat and the concept interesting ! The movements feels heavy and there is not enough feedback to the player, once i killed the werewolf without even knowing that i did. An maybe making each people different would help keep track of them.
I like the graphics and the idea is funny although i often do not have enough time to read entirely the text. I also did know that moving to a new office ans things like that were positive, so i said no each time to keep production costs low. And then i read the end of the description hahaha.
I find the game a bit stressing because of the sound and how fast things disapear but I guess that was the effect wanted.
Some more static menus to change employees salary and things like that would be a nice plus to the game.
The game failed to start once but then it worked. It's nice, the music is a bit repetitive and the grahics well done, I particularly like the tentacles rendering. On the gameplay part I find it weird to just shove my tentacles to the ennemies face. Maybe if you had to play with the tentacles momentum to add them speed it would be funnier.
Good job anyway ;D
I love the sounds and the graphics. The controls are neat. The alien is a bit slow when you have to walk the first corridor for the fifth time but finding the first human gave me a ahAH moment. Sometimes there was firing sound and I couldn't see any rocket so it was a bit confusing. I also would have loved some way to tell you where is the closer target, a map, thermal vision, anything, because the ship is kinda big and it's not always easy to see white people on white walls.
The art, the music and the gameplay all interact very well to make a beautiful game. I Liked the way you implemented a tutorial by disabling one of the options on the first days but for some reason it did not understood it very well at first. I would have liked for a bit more of strategy but hey great job guys !
Cool game, nice mechanics and implementation. Lots a different grounds that provide a different challenge each time. It makes me think of super meat boy in a way !
Nice game. I particularly enjoyed the vine physics and the graphics but i feel like there is no challenge. It is more a relaxing game.
The concept is really interesting but I find the game really hard to play. Maybe it will be better off without the time limit.
The game is pleasant although the physics of turning the car behave weirdly in my opinion. And I think stopping the car is way to easy to be a condition of success ;D
The game works fine on my computer and I think it has the potential to be more interesting. The levels are clearly too easy =/ And I wasn't to understand how to empty red spaces.
Liked the humor and the way the increase of difficulty is handled. The puzzles are also a lot of fun but I'm not a big fan of the time limit. Also the weather effects are pretty nice !
The game is clearly gorgeous, the lighting has a lot to do with it even if it gets blinding sometimes. On the other hand I felt the game became repetitive after a few days. I never knew how I could manage the other rabbits and they would get killed by the foxes. Also when too many things happens at once, the text overlap. Sorry if this feels a bit negative but if it can reassure you, I had a good time playing this game ;D
Fun game ! The controls are pretty smart. But sometimes I wasn't really sure why I couldn't eat mosquitoes.
Nice to see something original with circles and two buttons controls. The game is fun to play but the dash may be too sensitive sometimes ( at least from my point of view ;D )
Wow cool game. The graphics are neat ! The gameplay is nice although the controls are a bit hard at first (especially the one that rotates the map). I feel that you have something here that you could easily expand into a cool game.
Wow thank you Andy for this very constructive comment, it's heartwarming to see you spend so much time playing our game, we already have planned to do some of the improvements you've advice but some of them we didn't think of are really good ideas. (And yeah, as you can see I'm not a natural english speaker, sorry for the mistakes).
Woooow I'm blown away ! Those graphics and that music ! The feeling at the beginning when the colors appears and the music starts is priceless ! My only advice would be to work on the camera since it feels a bit awkward sometimes. And after testing the post compo version, I find the compo controls to be more pleasant and authentic. The game is very atmospheric, thank you !
I have nothing particularly polished, everything feels great and polished. Overall excellent job !
I love the concept but it seems to be a bit short.
Good job ! If I may give some of my impressions, the game lacks feedback. I wasn't able to understand how much I had to shoot an enemy to kill it. But it is nice that you were able to put in a boss fight !
The audio is cool and the graphics are beautiful. The game feels polished and is nice to play. The only drawback is that the gameplay is not very original. But good job anyway !
The graphics are amazing and the gameplay is fun and promising ( it would beneficial for a bit of polish and feedback though ) There is not always visual feedback of a charge and it is not always clear what the range of the attack is. Great job anyway ;D
The physics are making the game hard to play ( jump sends pirates in the air for too much time in my opinion ) and the other pirates on my boat were all on one side which made the boat not very stable. I couldn't manage to beat even the first enemy. The music was nice though and I like the jelly aspect of the canon ball. =)
Nice game, I like what you did with the UI. I don't know why but at first I was persuaded to be the red one and therefore wasn't able to build anything hahaha. I feel the game need more balancing and more explanation as to how cells are conquered but impressive ob anyway !
Really nice game, i reaaaallly love level's 3 music!
The trees hitboxes seem a bit weird but the art looks good !
Nice game, it needs maybe an ambiance song. I like playing it but my computer doesn't seem to be powerful enough to go far in the game.
At first I had not seen the option that allowed to play with more than one player and the game seemed a bit laggy on firefox but i like the concept and the gameplay. You can surely turn it into a cool game ;D
Great game! Love the atmosphere!
Excellent game ! Everything is pretty neat ! Yet I have some suggestion which could make the game even better. Like somebody said, leaving a dialog may lead to some death. I feel there is not enough checkpoint but that is because i find the controls hard and i often loose because i confuse myself with them. It's great that you used both theme but in my opinion the game would be far more enjoyable if you used all directional arrows ( or provided a realtime feedback as to which button will make turn the snake right or left ). Anyway, overall, the game is the more polished i have played since the beginning of this ludum !
Graphics are cute but the game is hard to understand. It took me some time to understand the controls. And the beginning feels a bit long. The music is also cool
Excellent game. I love that each level has to be played differently since there is different buildings !
Excellent !
Well, it's a classic game with ludum theme features. It's a little laggy in my PC, and camera and ball controls need to be worked.
But it was a good idea to transform a game like that with special abilities and shape shifting.
Seems like there's is a simple technique to win, just stay in circle mode and destroy squares and triangles, and since the circles aren't able to destroy the circles, the game go on for quite some time.
The concept is really cool.However it is hard to foresee a solution and most of the time I finished a level without understanding truly how I did it.
Really neat game. I enjoyed the graphics, the animations and the gameplay. The only frustrating thing is when there is two ice walls and my power only breaks the first one. Excellent job mate !
The graphics and the audio are a bit too simple to my taste but the gameplay is really fun, at least once I discovered that I could wall jump ;)
Really cool game ! would have appreciated to restart from the level in which I died and not play the whole game again. I also don't really enjoy the parts of some levels in which you don't see any shapes for some time. You could also add more feedback when the player's passe through a shape, something like a sound or screen shake, anything that could make the player feel powerful an wanting to do more !
The shape shifting is great, the music is adapted to the pace of the game : good job ;)
Hey!
Midterms exams are now over and we spent few hours to improve Shwift!
We've listened to you and implement gamepads. Solo mode is also there but we recommend you playing Versus mode with 2 players! New levels are made for it.
You can also create your own level with the level editor: Microsoft Excel (yes, you read it). Just read the README in the folder.
Enjoy playing!
The music is nice and relaxing but the game lacks feedback, took me sometime at the beginning to understand what i was supposed to do. And then when i did I wasn't able to do it properly because I never knew how much time i had left before hitting the shape. I'm sorry I wasn't able to enjoy the game. Maybe with a little bit more feedback it could really be a cool game !
It's a bit difficult but possible. I like how intuitive is the game. Levels are made to show concepts and then it's very hard...
I like the differents killers you made, black and white walls. I really like white walls like mini golf.
Level design is good! (shortcuts, black way, etc.).
Good job!
This a refreashing break from all those geometric games but I have a very hard time trying to control correctly the plane. And the switch between plane and car is beautiful !
This is really neat ! Only thing I found weird is being able to go through other blocks. This feels a bit counterintuitive and it is hard to time the moves correctly when several blocks are moving. Great job anyway !
Wow this is cool, love the way my shooting style changes each time I destroy a shape. But it is hard to distinguish ennemies' shot from mine when there's too much on screen.
Cool game !
I have to admitt, I really wasn't convinced, the controls were really not easy and the game felt poor to me. BUT. Then came the shift limit on each shape and yay it became fun. Really fun. I just finished the game and I'm actually quite sad there are'nt more levels. Anyway, really good job man! And congrats for your son ;)
Love it ! This is one of the best games I've played this ludum dare, the concept is cool and the level design is excellent. The graphics of the world could benefit from a little bit of polish and animation but the character is gorgeous. The audio is nice but it little bit too retro for my taste. The controls works well but the game feels a little bit slow paced when doing a level for the second time. Anyway, amazing overall job, 5/5, keep at it and make it great !
Very nice game!
It's clever how ennemies turn to red when they loose life and how they die. I also like smashing goons when i transform them in cars, or others interactive objetcs when goons are shapeshifted. The player's death animation is pretty cool but i do not think it belongs in this game, it does not feel quite like a death and it took me some time to understand it.
The difficulty curve is quite good, and without running it seems impossible. The imprecision of the gun was a little frustrating but it would be so easy with a precise gun.
Level 3 was a little laggy with my laptop but it's playable.
The concept is interesting, I like having to tweak some code according to certain limitations. The only frustrating things is that you can not really run the code to checks its output or anything else, it feels a bit like working in the dark. Apart from the game is pleasant to play.
Love the game! Like Dooskington said, it always fun to drift!
There are few mistakes in my opinion.
Changing shape doesn't change the car or anything (except for UI), it's a bit disturbing.
Graphics are good for the car and the track but for the UI with shape it's not very beautiful. But tire tracks are! Well done.
Sounds would be a good enhancement.
But I know you did it in Compo, so good job!
I had fun drifting in the level editor. I think you should improve it because it is very boring to use. Click and drag one by one with the camera that move up and down is painful.
Well done!
Nice concept!
I can't explain why exactly but i was frustrated. The concept looks very good but i was a little disappointed when i play it. I think i don't very like the gameplay.
Pros : I like the lighting and the way shape shifts.
Cons : The game lags a lot, the ennemies are way faster than allies and there no feed back as to when you unbefriend a shape ( ie : it's a cube and I'm a cube so we're friends but then i change to triangle and sometimes the cube leave, sometimes not)
The game is cool, the audio fit really well and the graphics are nice. I find the pace of combats is way to slow and the ennemies are tougher than they would need to be in my opinion. I also was confuse because i was able to shape shift at the beginning of the game. The are different and it is nice playing with each one. Too bad we cannot activate save point when in another shape. And the camera is positioned a little bit too much at the bottom when in the flying shape. I'll conclude with a good job overall ! I <3 bears !
It is really hard to understand what is expected of me. I was able able to understand what was the differences between the potions and the hitbox were really odd. The graphics and the audio are really well done though ! Keep at it ;)
Gorgeous graphics but I can't understand the gameplay. Which shape has the advantage over which shape and what am i supposed to do. I did not understood what caused me to die. Maybe some more explanation would be welcome ;)
The game is gorgeous, to bad there's is no music =/
The level design is well done, we learn about each shape then about when to switch and then we're on our own. The only drawback is that the first bird level has some really hard and frustrating parts. Also the fact that the bird dies when touching the ground or ceiling feels a bit frustrating and artificial.
Excellent job anyway !
Like some said, the graphics makes it hard to distinguish obstacles from background,I do not really see how this fits in the theme and the hitbox are maybe too sensitives.
But i think it could be much better with a little bit of polish, keep at it guys ;)
Piew piew piew, piew piew piew, i'm a sheep shifter! Audio is good!
I really like this game, good idea for a clicker.
Well, your character is pretty good. I have played dozens of game with lots of shapes, but only a few have transformed a playable shape into a real character, and even less with a shape smoking marijuana! I like your metaphor.
Soundtrack is very good in-game!
The graphics are simple but it works. The game would be more pleasant with more worked assets.
Controls are easy and difficulty is slowly increasing (which is good).
However, it's still a simple runner. I can't play it hours, but I did try and die more than 10 times.
Well, i didn't understand this game. I died about every five seconds and I didn't know what to do... I was expecting to fire or something like that. Controls are not very fluid, it's hard to do what we want to.
The spatialship was transforming but I don't know when and why.
It could be a more interesting game if it was easier at the beginning and with a little explanation of how to play (maybe in the Ludum Dare description). If you add it, maybe I'll try again.
Welcome to ludum dare and Unity !
Making a game is a tough job so congrats on finishing this one even if it's as classic as Pong. That being said you could look to the new Unity UI system, it is not much more complicated than the OnGui function and allows to make pretty things in a short amount of time. Also the collisions behave a bit weirdly but hey ! keep faith, keep practicing and you'll soon amaze yourself.
Nice little game. Very difficult to know which one to use but I remembered the wall to fight the red one.
Good idea!
Artwork is very nice! I didn't find all the recipes but I liked this kind of game without playable characters. It changes from others and gave you one more star for my vote.
A cooking book with all recipes unlocked would be great (locked ones would be mark as "to unlock"). We don't really know how many recipes we have not discovered yet.
The game is nice but it is hard to understand which shape does what and what is the ennemy behaviour. Welcome to Ludum Dare by the way !
Good and fun game !
Go vote mine ! :)

Seriously what kind of comment is that ? A comment's goal is to provide feedback not advertisement. Most people go play the games of people who left comment on their own but not when these are crying for attention.
That being said welcome to ludum dare ! Your game has nice graphics and animation. The first puzzles were cool but I couldn't get past the panda one (i have no clue what the panda does). I also encountered a bug in which i was stuck inside the platform and the controls feel a bit awkward some times. And I don't know why but theses shapes are cute as h*** !
I hope my feedback was constructive and please, in the future only leave comments if you want to provide feedback on a game. Self advertisement is OK if you do it in the main ludum dare thread but it has not its place here ;)
This is really fun and could be even more fun if a little more fast paced I think. Great job !
I played with my friend and it's quite fun.
We were frustrating because it's very difficult to know which shape can push another... But we know it's not very imporant because when we know how to play we can't predict other player choice.
It would also be great if we can "attack" or something like that, and if the game was more based on the fight. We died 2 times for 3 games due to move instead of fight.
By th way, the concept is really good and the title makes sense when we know how to play (fast change before collision). I really like how you transform Shifumi like that.
This is excellent, every aspect of the game seems really polish and I can't really say what you could have done better in 72h. Maybe alllowing to still see the surrounding of the ship while we are recharging the battery would add more tension and anticipation as you would see the ennemies coming at you.
Cool game, pretty efficient overall, i particularly liked the music and having the leaderboard is great ! It's a bit too difficult for me though, i feel like sometime it's too much based on luck and if i get hard elements right on it's kinda punishing. The world being a rectangle and not a circle is a nice take on the genre also it's sometimes make it harder to predict where I will end up. And maybe adding some particle effect to the violet line would make for an easier explanation of it's purpose.
Overall nice game, good job :)
The game looks really nice but I don't really understand what you're supposed to do and neither did my friend. Because if you don't take the crown pettry much nothing happens. Well, sometimes the crown move on its own but you only have to avoir it to win. Maybe scoring point while holding the crown would add some incentive to take it.
Nice game ! You managed to wrap it all up (music, graphics and all) by yourself which you can be proud of. I would have appreciated a bit more difficulty though, like moving the cards around sometimes ? I don't have much idea but it would be great to spice it up a little bit ;)
Good job anyway !
The idea is cool and could lead to some really nervous gameplay. However, the player currently stops 1 seconds after touching the wall and that in my humble opinion breaks the rythm. While I guess you did that in an attempt to make the game less difficult I would argue that i would be better to just slide as soon as you hit the wall. Not only would it feel more realistic but it would make form some great nervous playthrough where you don't even control what you do, you just react on the fly. The mechanic of this game definitely makes me think about super meat boy, in a good way, but it needs to refinment to be fully enjoyable. So keep working on it :)
Also I found the hitbox that you can hit with your head quite unfair.
I love the UI of the game, really of everything is tied together is quite a sight to behold for a ludum dare. However I found the UX of the death to be really frustrating since it takes so much time to retry a level (and I did die often). Making restarting a level faster would be a huge improvement I think. And Also, I found it quite weird that the vertical scrolling stopped while the current was moving up or down. Maybe you could put the wires in a diagonal way ? This way the global vertical movement of the game would always be at the same speed because the way it is right now is cofusing me when i have to quickly go up and then down. Anyway, good job :)
I like all the interactions with the batteries, having to pick them up and recharge them. This makes for some interesting level design (althoug I do have to admit I did not always see clearly where I had to go, well in the end I did and was able to finish the game ), all the more tense because of the shadow lurkers. Although I was quite frustrated with the controls as the character seems to move in steps and does not stop immediately when i release the key.
Great work ! =)
Definitely impressed by what you could achieve with you own engine. The lighting and the scene is simple but efficient and I was surprised this much immersed in the kitchen. Maybe this has to do with the sound ambiance which was particularly well done. In my humble opinion a dummy window looking at a distant skyline or something like that would have added to the atmosphere without destroying too much the ambiant feeling of loneliness. The only frustrating thing would be the lack or a crosshair that would indicate with what I'm interacting and with what I could interact. This was even more frustrating since some elements would open only after the radio ran out of battery and that gives away the fact that we are only playing a game. (And also why isn't the cursor captured ? Having tested that on two screen it was slightly annoying). Otherwise excellent execution, keep working hard on your engine ! And one last thing, I know there was no animation when interacting with something but that still worked wonderfully well ( the sound + just switching to the new state of the object). :)
I had a bit of trouble finding my way and controlling the sorceress toward the castle but i did enjoy the game. It's nice to see how you could achieve credible cloud with only a few spheres, it's a nice idea. I also like how the sorceress moves on its broom. Good job :)
Great aesthetic. The more enjoyable way to drive the car for me was using the mouse for the wheel and the keyboard to accelerate, brake. Sometimes the wheel seemed to not respond correctly though. Oh ! and I love the music and how the tempo slows down when your battery gets empty at the end !
Great game ! Excellent job. Like many said I found the text going too slowly and the bip and boops they make do not fit well with the otherwise excellent audio ambiance you manager to achieve. I did not expect to hear a different sound when turning right, excellent job :)
ps: other minor defaults includes english mistakes in some lines of dialog and some line that as not as well written as most of the game. But Overall I really enjoyed it, good job !
The concept was more efficient than i thought at first sight, which is always a good thing. I find it a bit annoying to have to start from level 1 each time.
And if I were to suggest something for the energy it would be to consume it, not based on time but on the distance you travel. I do agree that it would change a bit the core of the game but right now, the time pressure urges you to move fast when you circle is so slow.
And I forgot to say that the music was great ! Too bad it stopped after a while.
Great job :)
Too bad there's only one level, it makes it hard to see what the other puzzles would like because it looks promising =/ (Maybe you could upload a post jam version with you level loader fixed ? I know how frustrating these things get when you have to fix them at the last minute ! )
The Music is really catchy and fits well with the game.
The graphics are okay, by that I mean that most of the sprites looks super cute but the world doesn't really. I also did not understand if the different color tiles serve other purpose than just a decorating one.
Also, and I would have preferred to test other levels of the game before giving my opinion on this, I Do not really find the control scheme intuitive. I would have preferred a direct mapping between the arrow pressed and the direction the robot will move toward. But depending on how you exploit it, it could also be totally valid to use the present control scheme.
And in any case, congratulations on submitting ( an such a cute game ) on you first ludum dare :)
Wow I'm really amazed by the quality you managed to reach with you game for you first Ludum dare. This is impressive. I find the graphics gorgeous (sure it's not Direct X 11 PBR tesselated 4K models like in The Witcher 3 but it's beautiful in it's own way ) and the scenario complements really well the levels by adding a little touch of humour. Too bad there's no music, it could really bring this game to the sky ( see the irony here ? ). The only thing I think could enhanced the game would be some feedback on what forces the different planets apply on you because right now it's a bit hard to predict the movement of the shuttle and feels a bit too much like a luck based die and retry.
A part from that this a great game that I really enjoyed playing and I'm really curious to see what you'll achieve next Ludum Dare ! Keep up the good work ;)
I used to play this game when I was a kid ! It's nice to see you tried to build upon it. However there seems to be a lot of shadowy points in the rules. What do you mean by "Without charging the battery, you have a maximum option to roll 10 dices." ? Because i had understood that each player only had 4 batteries token. And also I think, the way energy cells are disposed on the board would make everybody eventually run out of battery which would imply that if you have badluck with dices, you get even more punished by a lack of energy. Maybe you could tweak a bit the rules so that you could steal energy from other players that run over you or something like that ?
Also, it would be wiser to put all the files in a standard format, png, pdf, whatever you prefer, but not everybody would know with what to open a .pdn ;)
I really like the concept of the game, the fact that you can enable or not the stabilizers and can control thrust or rotation in every direction. However since there was a time limit I found myself just pushing forward, slightly correcting my trajectory and just hoping for the best but since there was a ton of asteroids I never managed to reach the planet. The music was nice but the sound that the text made was a bit annoying. The art is simple but does it's job nicely. Overall nice job but I would make the amount of fuel the limit instead of just time. That would make for much more interesting gameplay in my opinion.
I like how simple and easy to pick up the game is, the music nicely fits with the cute graphics and the levels difficulty ramps up nicely. I however found the physics of the jump super weird (why does the character slows down when falling ?) and would have loved if smaller jumps made me lose less energy than bigger ones (which does not seems to be the case). Anyway, great job :)
My antivirus ( Avast ) thinks it's dangerous and won't let me run it :'(
Wow, great game, I love how much you were able to polish it, the music's great, the graphics are cool ( above all the screen that darkens when you run low on energy ). Seems a bit too difficult sometimes, like you planned for just enough energy and if you make one mistake you're dead. Also it seems weird that if you press the key to move while jumping you consume energy but if you don't you still move but without consuming energy.
Anyway, that's the only negative point i can see, i really enjoyed playing this game, Great job !
Pretty simple game. The controls are a bit hard to master, like somebody said maybe moving in diagonal would simplify things. And I don't know why but I often had to trouble to see if my robot was correctly aligned with the coins, maybe this has to do with the perspective camera. Good job anyway, it's great that you were able to make a lot of progressive levels and some tutorial pop ups when needed =)
Nice and efficient design ! It took me a while to really understand all the details so maybe some polish on the UI would help with that. The speed sometimes gets out of screen and at first I thought I had to always have the thrusters on to move ( I know, it was dumb of me to think that but anyway ) and I would have enjoyed to have more info on how much each system consumes energy. So I would choose more wisely between the shield and the missiles. I did not managed to reach Mars (52 000 and a bit more though ) but I enjoyed the time I spent with your game, good job ! Also, the music was nice and atmospheric, really appropriate !
At first i did not understand what the amplifier and the reflector could do and why i could not build anything. Then i read the rules more thouroughly and understood what was ground and what was not. I was still puzzled at what the reflector was doing. It seemed to just push away ennemies thanks to the wave. But then, I understand how everything actually works, how you amplify and rederect the energy, how the turrets gets their energy from the wave and I saw all the great potential this game has. In it's current form it's still super hard to pass the first waves of ennemies since everything is expensive but with a tad more polish and balancing it could be a great take on the tower defense genre. Amazing job !
Really fun concept that's well executed. Being able to turn the packages around to check the number could have been, providing a way to check face down packages but loosing some precious time at the same time. Then if you'd like to push the concept further I could easily imagine having to xray scan somes packages or that king of things. Well done :)
Everything is really polished and looks great but there was some kind of lag with the input that made it harder to play ( maybe it's because I was using the html5 version). Good job !
The game is really beautiful and the music is nice so before anything else, congratulations ! It was a bit hard to play it on an azerty keyboard though since the keys are quite far apart and so I was most of the time running around waiting for my ultimate to fill. Maybe adding different sorts of ennemies, some that can dash toward or other kind of actions would help make the gameplay more dynamic and tense ;)
I think I got how the juggle editor worked \o/ It's an unexpected take on the theme and an hypnotizing toy, I love it ! You're just missing the automatic gif generator ;)
Cute game :) the graphics are well done and it is pleasant to play (well actually it's a bit more difficult on an azerty keyboard but I can imagine it plays nicer on a qwerty one). I did get stuck in a fence once and did not understand right away that the chicken could move without jumping but great entry overall !
Great entry ! The concept is very enjoyable and neatly executed. Being able to choose the difficulty would be a great feature since starting back from the begginning can seem a bit punitive if one juste lost a game with lots of cars. Excellent game overall !
Wuuut ? ahahah This was quite funny and unexpected, well done ! It did seemed difficult to dismiss the beggars with the mouse, are they supposed to disappear on the first click or did I miss something ? Also, since you work with Unity, don't hesitate to provide a web build, it makes it easier for people to playtest your game !
I'm already spending way more time than I should on this game. It's very polished, there's feedback for everything and it's immediately enjoyable, congrats ! If you could also turn the hit sound a little bit down that would be perfect (I'm looking at you dozens of double boucing balls hitting dozens of bricks ;) )
Everything is excellent, the graphics, the music, the gameplay. if was sometimes hard to understand what was happening with a lot of ennemies on the map but I understand there are some limitations with Pico8. Congratulations !
I liked the music and the climbing animation is gorgeous. The game is hard and not easily understandable though. The tutorial was most welcome but wasn't clear enough and I still didn't understand what I'm supposed to do with the balls I take =/ The impulsion gun is also very hard to use because it doesn't do anything except if you just jumped before, adding a bit of flexibility to the timing would greatly improve the game in my opinion. (Also why add a jumping gun and not making the jump go higher in the first place ? )
An excellent choice of music for a really polished game ! Good job ! It did lag a bit on the web version though =/
This is by far one of the best games I've played this ludum dare. Everything is so smartly tied together. It's neat, well polished and the feedback is excellent. But why make L the jumping key ? :'( it's making the game much more difficult than it should. Were it bound to space, this would be a perfect game !
The games seems to load forever =/
Finally managed to load it \o/ too bad there's no music but the concept is super cool ! The driving gameplay would benefit from being a bit more polished and fluid but good job anyway !
I do love the concept of having local multiplayers for a ludum. Although the mechanics of you game works well on paper we found it pretty hard to control. Too bad because what we played was really promising. With a little bit of polish over the movement fluidity this could be an excellent local brawler. Good job !
The game is really beautiful, I love it's ambiance. I finished the game quite easily also I was sometimes frustrated by how the cubes would behave because sometimes cubes at the exact same position would not jump at the same time wich led to a bit a frustration. If the cubes movements were more systemic I think it would make a great ambient relaxing puzzle game, good job.
Although I find it gorgeous (i really enjoy simple art ) and I loved the music I had the impression of not really having the choice to behave in a good way, sometimes people were just in my way and I had no other choice but to be a bad boy. Maybe providing a bit more explaining or freedom would go a long way. Good job anyway ! Keep working on it !
Easy to get but hard to master. The tutorial was a nice addition to the game but what was the "boum" though ?. Good job :)
We can clearly see how far this game could go. In it's current state it's fun to play but there's some limitations I'll detail later. However the concept is solid and could go a long way with more work and polish. For on thing the art and the music are good and contrbutes a lot to the overall atmosphere. So do the villagers who roam your village. Too bad they don't have any purpose yet. Also adding a zoom in / zoom out options would be great. So would be the ability to destroy buildings or to see howmuch they cost. And I wasn't really impacted by the numerous god I had. You surely have ideas about how to make them impact more gameplay and I'mcurious to see that. Good job ! ( particularly for doing that on your own engine ! )
Really interesting concept and amazingly well executed ! I would have loved if the character moved faster as it feels a bit slow, especially when trying to control the character in the air.
It's impressive how well everything fits together! I found some levels harder from other. That was also probably linked to the fact that the game explained the cat's power only once i had put the card in play. At first i was reticent to use it since it seemed weaker than other cards. It was also unclear how close to the table the scale was. All in all it's an excellent entry from start to finish ! Great job !
This looks like it could be a huge amount of fun but I wasn't able to move the camera at all (I'm on linux if that's any help) so it made everything quite difficult and I was only able to make really simple planes. I still enjoyed my time with the game so well done !
I like the core concept of the game and the little details you added like dislaying the name and age of the crew member ! Although the game felt a bit slow paced some times. Especially while waiting for an asteroid field to be over. Nice entry ! :)
Every little thing is just excellent about your game, Excellent job ! The animations are gorgeous, the tutorial timing perfect, i don't know what to add ! (maybe add a little warning when some actions cannot be done because the surgeon already has something in its hands?)
Impressed by everything you could make during the jam ! There's a lot of minigames and things to discover by interacting with every thing. The music greatly contributes to the tension of the game but the phone was a bit annoying and sometimes difficult to understand ( sometimes it was a reminder of keymapping and sometimes it was a real phone) Nice entry overall, good job !
Excellent atmosphere ! The only downside are the controls. I found it quite awkward to control the camera. Also, sometimes i was badly oriented in a level and could only see black so i though the level was still loading. Everything was very enjoyable even though I wasn't able to find the bright light in the forest level.
Wow, the music is so cool. It fits really well with the jumpy character. I really loved that game, it's super enjoyable ! Some levels feels like they require way too much precision though and it's not always clear which wall gets unlocked by a key or by cleaning the room but i had such a good time playing this game ! Thank you !
Everything is so cute and funny, I love the sound design !! Great job !
The control feels good and reactive (except at some times when there seems to be inertia) but I didn't understand what was the purpose of ejecting the particles. The background particle system is really nice and the game over screen is quite funny ! Good job !
This is extremely cute ! It is a bit hard to get what you're supposed to do unless you already know the concept though. It's cool that the music changes with the tam evolution and the effect that makes the houses disapears when you enter them is perfect ! Great job !
it's really too bad there's no music :/ Also it seemed weird that accepting resistance calls raised so much suspicion. Anyway, the concept of being an operator is really interesting and it's a nice entry. Good job (and it's super cool that you used Godot :) )!
The idea to run a space station by an AI but refer to a human for ethics is a super interesting concept. I would love to see it developed further. Too bad there was no sound to contribute to the atmosphere but i really like this kind of terminal interfaces anyway and the option to instantly print text is a nice help for when doing another walktrough. Sometimes i felt it quite bothersome to visit every submenus to check the station status especially because i wasn't able to see the ethic problem before looking at information. Great job overall !
The idea is quite original however there seems to be an optimal strategy of putting towers around you and not moving except when in direct danger. It would have been nice if you were able to do something apart from placing tower so you would have to balance between putting towers or doing something else. Good job anyway ! :)
This is an excellent idea and brilliantly executed ! too bad my old keyboard wasn't registering some key combinations.
This game is gorgeous and super relaxing ! Excellent job ! I found it a bit hard to balance every thing though ( considering you want to progress, but did just being in harmony gave more points than progress ?)
Simply amazing all you could do in a ludum and how well everything fits together ! Excellent job ! The only one little negative thing i have to say is that it's not really clear at first that you have to become a ghost to pass the door, especially since you can't die by falling and there's no feedback when you reach the door as a ghost. But that's really minor in comparison to how cool this game is !
The concept is fun and it is really enjoyable to see the map be discovered and filled with information as adventurers progress in the dungeon. The dungeon feels a bit too big however. Maybe some other way to move around the map (with right clic for example) and to drop flag (by maintaining a button pressed) would suppress some tedious aspect of the game. The music was also on point so great job !
One of the best games for the jam I played so far. It is both funny and filled with entertaining puzzles. The music, animation and graphics feels very polished. A button to instant restart a level would have been great but it's an excellent job anyway !
This is truly an excellent entry, everything is great and well polished, the level design is interesting and grows more and more challenging. I don't know what to add, amazing work !
Although the core concept is quite classic, the amount of polish you were able to do is impressive ! Good job ! I however wasn't able to get really far in the game since it's very difficult. I would have love to experiment with the different sacrifices.
Well done ! I particularly liked how the rain and the thunder depend on how angry the god is !
This is really good for a first jam. Too bad the player didn't have animations but the fire was good looking ! Levels were well designed and interesting too complete but it was quite frustrating that the player movement did not follow when it was on top of something. Goog job anyway ! :)
Wow ! Since I'm on Linux I can't play the game so I won't rate it either but I just want to encourage you and say the the concept seems really really cool ! :)
I love the title of the game !!! It was also quite fun to play although i wasn't able to complete level 6, even with multiple balloons tied to my hand. It was quite weird that balloons lifted me only if I clicked but i guess it would be a very different game otherwise. The sound effects were also nice. Good job overall !
The graphics and the animations are really cute ! Some actions in the game were a bit tedious but i understand that it's not an easy task to make an rts in pico 8. It would have nice to choose between repairing a destroyed robot or killing it because for now since you can only do one action it might as well have been automatic. It sometimes lacked a bit of feedback for when choosing a menu option but good job anyway !
The idea is interesting and the music fits well the ambiance. It lacks a bit of feedback regarding how far the blob will land but then i discovered I could jump in middle air and it made things so much easier ! (iI also had a weird bug : after several death I couldn't clic on the blob, i had to reload the game) Good job !
I simply love it ! Very sad game but the mood is really well done. Maybe having a little more characters but with which you could interact more would have made the game even more sad !
Funny game, took me a bit of time to get that I had to press the button each time I wanted to buy bitcoin ( I know right, I don't know why I first thought I could just wait with the button pressed). Once I understood that, I had a good time even tough the bitcoin in the center of the screen just takes too much space and the graph doesn't even display the current price if it's falling too quickly so it makes the game a bit harder to play. Still got to ~570 000 though. Nice work !
The game is really beautiful and has some awesome music ! Great job ! I'm unfortunately to bad to score a lot of points :/
Thank you all for your great feedback :) @meiamsome yes this is kind of a bug we fixed in the post compo version. In the ludum version only the bats that will eat you remains visible ( other bats should have been visible but without moving) that's why with 4 glow if you are close to a cell with 5 bats, only one will be visible. Sorry for the incovenience :/
A tutorial would be great but I still managed to conquer a few provinces ! It would be nice to see who is the opponent as I forgot during the game :/ I still don't get how having no coins would make me loose since I finished each level with 0 coins but the game still continued. Also, I like the graphic style of the game !
The concept is really innovative and the UI well polished ! The icons and the feedback are easy enough to understand. It took me some time to understand that only the last ad I sent was converted into money though. The game seemed too easy at times but with a little balancing it could get very tactical ! Good job !
It's great to see what you can make with you own engine, the game is fun altough very very difficult ! Maybe some smaller hit boxes and a feedback for the charged shot would have helped ! Well done !
Really relaxing ! Everything fits well together and the concept of playing such a short time is interesting !
It's nice to see a game made with Godot ! The puzzles are interesting and the atmosphere fits well. The game was a bit too dark, especially far from the character and even tough i get how it correlates to the timed puzzles, moving was way too slow (maybe the timer could be linked to player steps instead of time ?) Good job anyway !
Once again really impressed what you two could make with a homemade engine ! The game is really well polished and I had fun when playing with a friend even tough I'm not that much into fighting games. The graphisms are so cute and the music fits well. Some additional feedback would be great for blocking attacks and it didn't seem natural to me to move backward to block. I also feel like jumping would have been great and it was hard to keep tracks of my lifebar while focusing on the game at the same time. Maybe putting it at the bottom of the screen would help. Great job !
The world generation is fantastic !! Could almost be renamed "No cookie's Land" since I wasn't able to find him :/ I still don't get how cats join me and how i can collect money but throwing huge amounts of fruits at bat and blob was fun. Your cinematic universe is definitely growing in a great direction, i can't wait to check your next game :) Nice work ! ( Also the music and the art is as cool as ever ;) )
I'm still impressed by how much time i can spend on clickers sometimes. I managed to win while trying to cover the whole island with blue houses so I did not have the time to completely cover the island in blue. The graphics were super cute and the music relaxing (the clicking sound not so much though) Nice entry :)
I like the concept and had a fun time playing it (also, nice music). I don't get how i can make my rate go up or down though (it seem to be moving randomly). Good job !
The game is really beautiful, the palettes, the music and the mood fits perfectly well to make a relaxing game. So good job on that !
However as someone said in another comment, I don't think such matters as slavery should be treated this lightly. If you were trying to denounce it, a game jam game focused on gameplay was clearly insufficient to do it well. If not, maybe it would be time to think about how, as game developers, what we develop impacts the world around us. I also understand how the ludum theme could lead you to this idea but why not make a game where you free slaves instead ?
The graphics are really impressive for a pico 8 game ! The music was nice but a bit repetitive when playing too long. The level design was sometimes more hard than I would like it to be (platform that you can not see before jumping and really small platform with big moving enemies on it (it was really hard to avoid their high hitbox)) I also did not really understand why I respawned in different places, sometimes with my life and battery full, sometimes not. Good job anyway :)
Nice game ! The intro was well done but images lasted a bit too long in my opinion ( a key to show the next one would have been great). Jumping while moving would have made the gameplay a lot more fluid but otherwise good job :)
I really like tactical games and this game seems to be on the path to be an interesting one. However it's clearly lacking a lot of feedback to make it more enjoyable at the moment. I understand how much more work that would have been though and what you managed to make is already impressive so good job !
Reminds me of the glorious time I could play pinball on my computer! It's a remarkably well executed game with detailed graphics and a groovy music ! I do feel like there's some kind of slowness in how the ball and the flippers moves but that may be because I'm playing the html5 version. My best score is 325 000 but I unfortunately wasn't able to go three times in the shop :/
The game is gorgeous and would be even more immersive with music ! It's a bit hard to play with an azerty keyboard though, it would have been great to be able to jump with the up arrow.
The audio and the graphics feels really polished. I liked the shadows and how the proximity to the lasers also influenced the audio and the graphics ! I found the gameplay a bit too hard for me, especially the fact that the character would get stuck on walls while jumping. This caused me several deaths. Good job :)
Overall this is a great game. A bit too dark sometimes. I liked how you introduced mechanics one after the other but some levels could also be shorter (like the beginning when you can only jump). The modifiers like only seeing in front of you are funny and twists the usual game experience so congrats !
I like the concept and how you can use your tongue to move around. The graphics are nice ! The controls are a bit hard to use, especialy with an azerty keyboard. Also why did mosquito dealt damage when eating them gave me health ? It's also nice to see you used Godot. Good job :)
The mood is incredible, the game beatiful, the music fantastic and the text very well written. What can I say i'm a big fan of games like this ! Excellent job !
PS : maybe tuning down a little bit the event sound would help to enjoy the great music
Not sure either what i played but it was realy fun ! Good choice of music and theme interpretation. Congrats !
Excellent, this is a really clever game ! It's also really addictive. The music and the graphics are nice, bonus point for the special sound tracks bringing back memories. At first I struggle to understand what the bonus gave me. Some feedback when picking up one would definitely help. My Highscore is 715. Great Game !
This is so relaxing ! The graphics and the music and nice and fit well together. I couldn't figure how to tend to the pink seeds but i enjoyed the game ! the controls were a bit awkward and reminded me too much that i was playing a game (i was on a keyboard) Great job !
I LOVE it ! The art is really beautiful and the gameplay is a lot of fun, too bad there isn't any music :/ The characters truly feels like real people so that's great too ! Some animation seems to play a little bit before the spoiling starts which felt a little bit off but it's a detail. Great job !
This is very uplifting ! Event with the game lagging on my computer, I enjoyed leading my conga line, great job !
Nice game, the music fits well ! It took me a while to understand the UI(especially the trading part) and the game, but then i had a good time ! Good job !
Cuteness overflow in this game ! Impressive how much you managed to do ! I really enjoyed everything ( well almost, moving boulders around did get a little bit frustrating after some time, but then I discovered I could push boulders in diagonals and everything was waaay easier, not sure that was intended though :) ) and the credit part tops it all ! Congrats !
Amazing game ! Would have been even better if the pattern matched the music but it's already excellent, congratulations.
Really cool concept, it sure is short but the art is clean and the game enjoyable, congrats !
Nice game ! I find it a bit repetitive after a few battle since i was able to plan much strategy. I wasn't sure if cover was any good and differences between weapons wasn't very clear (except the difference between melee and range. Too bad you weren't able to add music but the sounds effects fit well. Maybe some kind of tactical pause could make combats a little bit more controllable. Anyway, good job !
My brain is already melting so i probably won't be able to finish the fame, i'm stuck at 5. This is an excellent entry, the design is super clever and designing the map must have been really hard. This is super impressive ! This only drawback for me is the used of ASCII. Don't get me wrong, i love the aesthetics of it but i find it hard to perceive distances with it (espacially since horizontal and vertical distances are not the same number of pixel. Once again this is woooooow. Amazin job !
Congrats for your first game and nice graphics ! Sorry I couldn't managed to find the axe anywhere on the island. The camera sensitivity was a bit too much for me.
I would have liked a bit more feedback when clicking on things and regarding where to click ( i played through the book part ). Otherwise cute game, cute graphics and cute music ! Congrats on your first ludum dare ! Good job :)
Impressive how only a few colored squares can replace other types of assets ! The game was really funny and enjoyable, good job ! ps : some games seemed easier than other and i didn't get the meaning of the % next to the money during the current game
Very atmospheric entry ! I love the setup and the music and most particularly the ending ! Great job !
Very impressed by the mood of the game. The graphics, the music and the gameplay all fit very well together ! Great job ! I'm a bit tire right now so I couldn't get past 448m but I'll make sure to try again once I've had a chance to rest a bit.
This is awesome ! I'm in love with the visual effects and how the fire behaves ! To bad there isn't sound though. Amazing work here ! Congratulations
Good job ! Everything fits together and the puzzles are well designed although sometimes a bit hard due to how the players moves.
This is very interesting ! The game plays nicely but there may be missing a few key information in the UI or the description. For example, I wasn't sure if (and how) I was able to select team members. At first i thought the two teams would just rotate but actually it looks like only the first five or 6 person available can go to work the next day. This lead to some day where there was actually no workers available. Given that, the manager promotion kinda felt like a punishment but maybe i didn't understood something correctly. The sound effect match very well what happens on screen and I had a good time playing it. Good job ! :)
Managed to get to 280 ! The game is fun, beautiful and the gameplay is fluid. I had a trouble figuring how to get more resources at first but once i understood i could pick them up near the drill and in adjacent rooms it was much easier ! Would have liked a bit more feedback as to where i can place turrets. Great job overall :)
Great game, love the art, the music and the feel ! I felt it was a bit too easy but i know how hard it can be to balance a ludum entry ! Great entry overall and loved the crowbar !
Interesting idea ! I had a bit of trouble understanding the controls though. At first it appears that the mouse has very little effect over the ship and since I hadn't understood there was gravity I just thought there was a bug when my ship was suddenly moving toward a planet. Also i feel like teleporting should teleport where the mouse is and not just in front of the ship. All in all, whith some audio and a bit more tweaking of the control this could be a really addictive game. Good job !
Very very cool ! I'm impressed by how much there's in the game ! Everyhtings fit nicely together and plays very well. I'ld have love to have some impact feedback when my shot didn't miss. I figure it would be easier to understand how much dammage each card does because right now I would just regularly look at the enemy's life bar and follow playing card after card without much thought. In my opinion, although a very interesting take, the real time doesn't work that well with a deckbuilding game( or maybe time should go a bit slower ?) Anyway you did an amazing job ! Congratulations !
This is very impressived and really enjoyable. Everything fits well together and the gameplay is easy to pickup but challenging. I would have liked to have a few seconds to hide or something like that when rabbits discovered me tought because right now it feels very punishing to get caught. Great job overall ! Congratulations !
Well this was weird but also very well done and enjoyable ! The music is on point and the graphism are really nice, i love the parralax effects and the UI. Great job !
I didn't managed to finish the game :/ I was stuck in front of the escape submarine (i suppose). I tried multiple times but I just could jump correctly so it was a bit frustrating. Also the lighting often made it difficult to see what was happening. Gratefully you had warned about the lever in the description ! I wouldn't have manage to complete the first level without that information. The nice effect and the mood was well designed but I would advise to make levels a bit smaller since it was quite long to move through them. All in all good job :)
Nice graphics and audio ! The concept is interesting although it appears a bit random and I wasn't sure how i could get safely to the temple. It's nice to see other Godot entries ! Good job :)
Reqlly enjoyed the music ! Too bad I wasn't able to keep the party long enough :cry: to hear it entirely (thanks for the sound cloud link).
I'm a bit confused by the gameplay though, I picked up several things but they didn't seem to do anything and sometimes were left behind for no reason I could understand. I'm quite puzzled, maybe a missed something ?
Lovely game ! The puzzles were really interesting and gradually more difficult. It was sometimes hard to keep track of the exact water level but thankfully there was always a scale on some corner of the map. The graphics are simple but really well done and effective. The music gets a bit repetitive after some time but i'm already impressed you managed to do all this in 48h by yourself. Outstanding work ! :)
Absolutely love the music. The setup is also very cool. I love the fact that for 10 000$, yes, in theory you could be save but deep down you know that's not gonna happen.
It's a shame the timer kept the pressure on me and prevented from reading the text since you seem to have put quite the effort into it. But it's true that pausing the gameplay during text display would have been worse.
Regarding the gameplay I don't know if I'm juste really bad at this kind of perspective but I spent way too much time colliding with walls at low velocity than wooshing around the city and that took a bit of fun out of it. Would have loved to have the thrill of "should I go faster and take more risks ??" but here, going faster actually seemed to help since the recoil from the wall allowed me to change direction faster than when I was stuck against a wall.
All in all it's still a very solid entry, great job :)
Cool entry ! It has a really nice melancolic mood ! Got the doubtful end but realised reading the comment that the blurry though weren't supposed to be my own which I didn't realised playing the game :sweat_smile:
Would have loved to have some kind of moody ambiant music (like the one you used at the end) during the entire game.
Good job :)
There's a nice mood to the game, it's impressive how you managed to create a coherent art/audio style by using external resources ! Gameplay wise, I would have liked romans to come at me instead of moving without concern for me. Also, moving diagonally, swinging axe while moving and more permissive environment hitbox would be a nice addition to the game.
Good job :)
It's a shame I wasn't able to finish the game because I really wanted to. I did found the game too hard to be able to finish it though :/ The fact that the character was kind of "sliding" after I released and arrow key made it really hard to speedrun the thing. Apart from that it's a really cool entry, great job !
Impressive entry ! Would have loved a few more hint as to what was what in the UI. (I struggled a bit to find the egg pudding the first time). But once I got everything it was very pleasing !
I was only able to test the game alone but it was nice anyway. Didn't get much what the different hats were changing ? (was I stronger during the right season ?) but I liked being able to pickup different weapons on the ground. Good job !
I liked the concept but in my opinion it's currently a bit too hard. I wasn't able to do much stuff to survive more than 1000 points. I'd also have liked to have a bit more choice regarding what I could do at a given time because I felt helpless most of the time. The cyberpunky mood was nice and well executed though. Good job :)
I like the concept and the game is quite fun. Graphics and music are nice and fits well with the music. I did find the UI getting kind of in the way of the game though. I would have liked to have an auto grab option so I wouldn't have to micro manage my grabbing chracter. I also had a lot of trouble finding the character I wanted when I was circling in the UI. And I didn't get why you would ever want to speed up the hourglas ahaha. Anyway, UIs are notoriously hard to make and your did a pretty good job for a game jam, so, congrats !
Nice game ! Not sure I'm a big fan of having to wait ten seconds to switch mode(but i understand why you did it :D). I do adore how the sentry move though ! Well done !
I love the aesthetics of the game and the humour in the television prompts ! Found it a bit hard to time the baseball bat though. Great work !
This is such a beautiful and enjoyable game !! I managed to complete the statue in 200 days. Overall it was a very pleasing experience altought it was sometime hard to click on the right thing when everyone was moving so quickly. But that's a minor thing. Congrats !
I love the battlestar galactica vibe here ! It's a really interesting entry. I love the music ! It's a bit easy to win the game once you get how it works but I'm not complaining. Well done !
I find the concept interesting but unfortunately, even after reading the instructions twice I didn't clearly understand how to play correctly. And particularly, the difference between putting stuff in the pan or directly in the client stomach.
It's a nice game, love all the different cats and applicants. Altought I felt like I loosed in part because there wasn't enough good applicant for the poor cats :/ Good job !
I had a lot of fun and played almost 10 minutes, altought it was very rapidly very easy. One guy on repair and one on the machine gun + upgrades of the machine gun made me invincible. I also found the turret was quite inneficient in the end. Maybe you were planning to add some vehicles that only the turret could destroy ? Great job anyway !
It was really hard to understand how the game worked at firt, even with the writtent instruction below, but once I got the hang of it it was pretty interesting ! A bit too intense for me though but I can see the fun in it.(Thinking of how to score a combo while maintening a speech that could convince the entire room was a challenge for me :sweat_smile:) Overall the graphics and the audio fits well and the game feels polished, congrats !
Managed to stay on air for 3:37 ! Loved how real an yet sarcastic the headlines felt. I'm not sure how I could predict which ones were making my stonks go up so I tried to balance between the three colors. Congrats :)
Such a wholesome entry ! I especially liked going back and forth, giving multiple packages and learning more about each inhabitants. Wonderful job !
Congrats on making everything on your own for the compo ! I did find the tasks a bit repetitive though and at first it was not super clear what was a real obstacle (because you can fly over the space station but not the blobs of colors). Also, are the warning signs indicating anything else than the obstacles ? I like the little details, particle effect give some nice feedback about how the spacefight behaves, the little platters that follow me patiently are also fun (but at first I was confused when they didn't disappear at the end of the first delivery). Good job :)
I liked the gameplay, the graphics are simple but efficient and serves well the gameplay ! I was sometimes confused because the timer disappeared on some cars ( i guess it was in order not to hide crossroads ?) and I think a fullscreen option would have been better than having to zoom and pan around. Overall it's a solid entry, congrats !
One of the most impressive entry so far ! Liked everything about it ! If I had to nitpick a little bit, I'd say that it would have been nice to play entirely with the keyboard (using the mouse for the UI can get tedious) (or at least for the menus) and that having an option to chain movement or to cut animation would have been nice (I played the game twice so the animations were a bit long the second time when I already knew the solution). But really that's nitpicking, great job !
Really relaxing game ! I had a lot of fun reaching for the stars. A few things confused me at first though. I didn't really understand the purposes of the birds until I read your description. And I still don't get the meteor. It's a really nice entry, congrats !
Wow I love how simple and yet deep the game is ! Unfortunately english is not my native language and so finding word on a time constraint is a bit hard but this feels like a classic already. I have only one small suggestion : the UI display the letter to shoot directly in the mailbox above, which is nice, but in my opinion the letter that is currently in the mailbox is shrink a bit too much and makes it harder to process which letters are currently in the mailboxes and where is the best place to send the next letter. But that's a minor thing. Overall that's a really solid entry ! Congrats !
Easy to pickup and quite fun. I felt especially thrilled when I could deliver a package at full speed or by bouncing it against a building :smile: I didn't understand exactly how the drop worked because the package seemed to pickup a bit of my velocity if I moved too soon after dropping it ! Good job, it's a nice entry :)
I really like hacker games and this one is really fun ! It was nice to discover the consequences of the changes I made and it was quite an immersive experience. Congrats on making me sweat to find the password, feel proud because I had discovered the password at the last possible try and then discover that no matter what I input, the third time is always the good one :smile: Great job !
I liked the funny descriptions in the environment ! Congrats on finishing a game for this ludum dare !
I really want to love this entry, the movement of the character seems a lot of fun and I love how you can deliver packages in the most chaotic way. However it was also quite frustrating when I couldn't properly grab a package or rotate my character :/ Good job :)
It's was a bit hard to pick up with an azerty keyboard but once I had the correct mapping it was fun ! Small suggestions and remarks : * I found the camera angle to be very low behind the car and a bit uncomfortable. Especially for when I had to judge if I was below the cash drops. * Although I understand the challenge in driving around while avoiding to drop burgers and ice creams, I found it a bit frustrating to find the perfect angle when I was gathering supplies. Even more so when i failed to drop my precious cash inside the trunk of the car. Overall, driving around and delevring tons of food was fun ! It's a nice entry, congrats :)
Congrats on completing your first ludum dare :) As others have said the gameplay did feel a bit repetitive and houses are very far apart (especially during the tutorial). I enjoyed the voice over during the tutorial and the overall sound design. Good job !
I'm always impressed by what can be achieved in a pico 8 game, congratulations ! The graphics are really nice and evocative and it all fits really well with the story. I would have loved to hear a bit a your music with it, I'm sure the mood would have been even more on point :)
Very moody entry. I think the graphics are really beautiful and convey very well this introspective and intimate atmosphere. Gameplay wise it was interesting that there never seemed to be enough room for everything that mattered altough I would have liked to reply "no" to people instead of just acknowledging and forgetting. Also is there different ending ? In one run I had hoped to manage not quite badly all the obligation but the ending was still the shattered glass.
Overall, really nice entry, congrats :)
ps : I know you didn't made it but the music fits perfectly, nice choice !
Oups yes I read that afterward ^^ (I try not to read the other comments before writing mine so as no to be too much biased)
I like the concept of this one !
There's a lot a small details to it that are nice, such as the multiple atach points on the ships or the fact that they get destroyed if they touch the environment.
I found the control of the boat to be a little bit too "spiny", I'd suggest adding more angular drag or the equivalent to make the boat more controllable.
Good job on your entry :)
Managed to arrive early at the restaurant at my third try !
The game made me perfectly feel like I was stuck in traffic while having to park ahah
The control of the car was a bit hard to grasp though. I don't have anything particularly interesting to suggest but I think it would be a most interesting area of improvement for the game.
Good job :)
This is giving me FTL vibes !
Sorry you couldn't acheive your intended vision, it's quite obvious from the game right now that there could be more to the dialogues and the trading. Unforntunately right now, there's not much of a challenge as 80% nodes gives me what I want. I wonder though, what are the reasons some people die just after (and only then) we get some new people on board ?
Like other people I also struggled to see the green destination dot because it was hidden behind the wait button while in fullscreen.
Anyway, congrats on your for this jam! :)
There's a nice coherence to the game. I all fits quite well together, the music, the 3D models and the gameplay.
It would be even nicer if the camera could be easily displaying the whole island without having to zoom out too much. Maybe by not having the island a bit offset toward the top of the screen so that the UI doesn't hide some part of it.
Good job overall :)
ps : I think i found some kind of optimal strategy for the game. I start by building factories until i have around +350 income, then I can build theaters, spaceports and the like and this way I can easily have a good score on the three tracks.
Congrats on your entry :) The shrinking track was an interesting feature altough it did take a bit of time to notice it ^^
I'd advise tweaking a bit the camera because as it is I found it a bit dizzying. Maybe it's because it instantly rotates at full speed with the motorcycle, having some kind of inertia might to the trick.
I'd also suggest giving more information about what's ahead to the player. You could either zoom out the camera, not make it centered aroung the motorcycle (so there would be more screenspace to display what's ahead) or also having the general shape of the circuit and our position on it somewhere in the corner of the screen.
The graphics are nice and the character animation is a nice touch :) However as other have said, the gameplay is pretty limited right now. There's not much feedback as to if the ship's damaged or not and what actions are possible. I understand that if you had no coders on your team this would be quite complicated so congrats on submitting an entry anyway !
Interesting mechanic although I found it a bit too easy. I often ended the level with a lot a spare jumps. Maybe having some kind of puzzle mechanic in addition to the platforming bit would add a bit of challenge ?
There's however a nice atmosphere to the game, good job :)
324 aliens, a full upgrade tree and quite a lot of ressources to spare at the end, that was fun !
The gameplay was interesting and it's always a nice feeling to climb up the upgrade tree. It was sometimes a bit frustating to be able to destroy a block but being too far away to retrieve the resources. Fortunately i could gather them during a following orbit !
I think I found some kind of cheat because the ennemies do not appear before the first upgrade so that gives ample time to gather resources.
Overall congrats for your game :)
Yay ! Managed to clear 11 waves before dying !
Congrats on an interesting design ! However it's a bit difficult to maximise dps by switching turrets when there's so much happening at once so i found myself mainly switching between two or three turrets but not very much. The fact that I couldn't upgrade the turrets in between waves made the thing a bit more complicated because I had to do that and process the information while at the same time managing the ennemies. That doesn't mean it's not an interesting challenge but I myself would rather have a little bit more time to prepare in between waves.
Also, is there a turret to help against the medic ennemies ? The suppression one didn't seem much use and I found it almost impossible to kill this type of ennemies.
Well done for the graphic design it helps a lot to differentiate tower types.
Overall nice job :)
I'm always impressed by what you managed to cram in a pico8 cartdrigde ! I didn't know about lightbot but it made me think about zachtronics games.
I like the concept of the game ! The puzzles were fun, the audio and the music were impressive too, congrats !
I stopped at level 9 because unfortunately this did remind me a bit too much of my programming daily job (it's also the reason I don't enjoy Zachtronics games as much lately :/).
But it's really not the fault of the game which was a nice and really polished entry! The only thing that I would have loved is some kind of "clear all" button.
Congratulations !
I'm quite fond of this kind of scoring game but found the flappy bird controls kinda got in the way. I would have prefered a more direct kind of control on the bird.
Also at first the warning signs confused me a bit and I tried to avoid the others birds before discovering they were actually a nice boost.
I did took me a while to get to the end and it's cool you had the time to make a dedicated animation and dialogue for it.
The graphics and the audios are very nice and fit well together, good job !
I love the simplicity of the design ! I also like the graphics and the audio. By the way, I never thought white noise could be a good background track for a game but you proved me wrong !
I did manage to got the level 11 but then give up because I was brute forcing the game rather than trying to solve the puzzle. Maybe 5 runes at once was a bit too much for me ? Also, I would have looved a retry button. It was kinda frustrating, having to place all the runes when I knew perfectly that I was never going to complete a level.
All in all, great work, congrats !
Sorry I did not leave a rating. Since I gave up the game quite early, I wouldn't find it fair play to rate it without having played a little bit more of it. But I still thought leaving some comments might interest you so here it goes.
First of all what I saw of the writing was funny and I liked how you managed to insert the tutorial into some funny dialogue lines.
But what lead me to give the game was the difficulty that I found way too hard. I felt like I had little control over what was happening and so, seeing chuck miss the platform and fall to the bottom was too much for my weak heart.
I hope Chuck will safely find his way up the mountain without my help, he seemed like a nice creature that was legit going to help with my wishes !
The art was nice and the gameplay was fun ! Good job ! Altough I wish I better understood what did some cards. Some kind of turrets seemed to change shape when they were hit ?
Some small feedback side notes:
Took more time than I would like to admit to understant that ennemies dropped some kind of currencies and that I could recover it by hovering the mouse.
Once an enemy is on you it's almost directly a game over. It would be nice if you could defend yourself a little bit to give more room for error.
All in all, well done.
This is such an interesting puzzle concept. I'm a bit ashamed I didn't managed/had the patience to go beyond level 2 though. I really like the idea of composing the demon required to solve the puzzle, the fact that adding the same traits gives it more strengh gives more depth to the system and it's interestin to the see the variety of combination one could make.
I guess the controls and the platforming feeling could be fine tuned a little bit to improve the experience. As it is I found it quite tedious to redo almost 75% of the puzzle so you can try the end of the puzzle (yes I failed a lot of time to jump at the end of level 2). Maybe some kind of rewind would allow players to experience a little bit easily the capacity of the summoned demon without having to invoke a ton of them. (Is it just me or can you not destroy them.
I played the web version and found the graphics and the character animations quite pretty. The audio was nice and moody too.
All in all it's a great entry ! The problems I'm pointing to above seems to be something that could be easily fixed given more time and the rest of the design seems well thought out. Congratulations !
I was instantly drown to this game by the screenshots and the enigmatic title when my teammate showed it to me.
I like the graphic design. There's isn't much information on the screen yet the necessary information is here. I particularly like that the error feedback is located where I failed. This helped me recalibrate when I was failing the rhythm.
Which leads me to what I didn't as much enjoy in the game.
I found the rhythm sometimes hard to get and the fact that sometimes I had to do it twice to unlock the next step made it a bit frustrating (also there was some kind of input lag, but that may be the fault of my computer ?).
I found the sound to become quickly annoying. Altough I like bells alright - and found it enjoyable for them to ring when I was right - the fact that every level has a different rhythm quickly turned into kind of a cacophony and made it hard for me to focus on the current level.
All in all it's still an interesting idea and I'm sorry I couldn't get to the end of the game.
Lost pretty fast the first time but then I just summonned a lot of units before attacking ennemies and it was much more fun ! I sometimes wish I could have more controls hover my units because in some case the would just go and get destroyed by themselves when I would have preferred they wait a little by my side until I have more units.
I liked the graphics, it's all really nice and well animated although a minor issue was that I regularly lost track of which was my own character.
The audio was nice overall but the music felt like it was somewhat disconnected with the general feeling of the game.
Good job, it was fun to play !
Thank you everyone for such detailed feedback, we're truly grateful !
And thank you very very much @cpaz for sharing such useful insight with us, it's greatly appreciated !
It was way harder than I expected to reach outer space but I did manage to meet UFOs ! I like the funny atmosphere coming from the game, the fanfare when I launch into the air and the funny environment storytelling in front of the canon made me smile. Too bad the music doesn't loop in the web build because it's a great fit to the game.
Well done :)
Wow ! Love what you did here ! It feels like a really nice blend of snake and a memory game. It's super polished, the graphics are really vibrant even though they are black and white and the music is really super cool.
Really I don't have much to say. It's impressive work, congratulations !
I would love to play a little bit more but sadly it's way too hard for now, worms keep swarming the town and destroying the city while my flemingtons are more concerned about picking up materials :'(
I like the art and the sound effetcs. Hiding the tutorial at the top of the map is a smart idea. I would have liked to dezoom the camera and pan a little bit faster. Also a way to cancel building in construction would be nice as sometimes I clicked by mistake.
A simulation game like that is always something quite complex and it's impressive what you could manage to do on your own, congrats !
(sorry, seems like there was a bug/misclick and published a comment twice in a row)
Very relaxing entry. Would have love more intuitive controls for the camera and a zqsd binding for manipulating the objects, but it did not prevent me from having a wonderful time with you game.
I really liked composing a terrarium. Congrats !
For some reason I can't rate this game but I discovered that after playing so here's my feedback anyway :)
Never tought I could get this invested in feeding colored cubes. At first I though they were immortals but then I discovered the ominous red cross. Sorry little cubes I won't be able to save your from the cross forever, but it was nice while it lasted :D
On a more technical note. I like what you did with the animation of the cubes, they do feel like some blobs alive, well done !
Wow, this is like super cool ! Never thought a game about snails could be this fun !
Love the way the game plays. The blend of platforming and tactics to position the snail correctly before droping onto a mushroom and soaring into the air. Everything feels pretty intuitive (except maybe the webs, looks like sometimes they stop the snails and other times they don't ?)
Love the art, love the music. Love the way you tied the credits into the game and even the little ladybug counter.
Everything feels super polished, rien à redire, franchement bravo !!
Saw one of your posts at the end of the jam and finally took the time to test your game. I was expecting a game about deciphering an alphabet and was surprised to find something else entirely. But then read the comments and discovered I can actually crack the alphabet :smile:
Gameplay wise it was fun but got quite repetitive after a while. Also, I would have liked to see my score at the end of the game.
Regardless, even though I felt I had seen all the game had to offer, I felt pressed on to continue till the end. I think the visuals and the music/design you have here are the main reason why. They are AMAZING ! From the UI to the animations of the little guys, from the subtle sound effects, to the enthralling music, everything feels so ... special ! I would defenitely love to see more of this universe.
This really is great work, congrats !
Love the vibe of this game !! Sadly I launched this game as the last one of the evening. Little did I knew I could have had Finn playing games with me all night long :/ It's a really nice idea and being able to customize your buddy is super cool.
The only "downsides" I could see is that I couldn't resize the game, so on my 2K screen, the font is actually quite small. And at the beggining of the game, lots of notification would come up and prevent me from reading all the funny lines you wrote for the unlocks.
It's a really cool game, great job everyone !
I had the hardest time of my life cooking an egg and filling a glass of water, but I may have been the funniest way I've done that !
I feel like some recipes are really hard to understand (i did not find how to brew tea) and once i have an item selected it's really hard to navigate the level. But it sure was a lot of fun ! And I figure rats trying to cook some eggs would have a hard time too :smile:
Good job everyone et bon appétit !
Edit : wait apparently there's a binding to display the recipes ! But it doesn't seem to work in the web version.
I spent quite some time on the game although I did not finish it. I stopped after the first level you get a 1x1 shrimp. It was interesting to see how a concept fairly familiar could still be turned into an innovative idea. And then you added some twists again (loved seeing the first 2x2 creature), well done !
Gameplay wise I wished there was an undo button as I was so frustrating on the more complex level. Even more so because my tired brain couldn't remember that, shrimps eat fish and fishes eat crabs so I made some stupid mistakes multiple times. And I'm quite surprised I could squeeze the 2x2 creatures through the top exit, but not the horizontal 2X1, is this a bug ? I did struggle to make the game understand the final move to the exit, I had to pretty much always do it multiple times before the game registered the move.
I did enjoy the soothing music and liked a lot the designs of the different animals !
All in all great job.
I'm amazed that such a complex game could be managed in 72 by 2 people, congrats !
Although it was a bit hard to understand everything at first (lots of text to read) It did hook me until I could sent my little mouse society to space, yay ! Too bad it wasn't cheese though.
I felt that at some times the balancing was a bit off. Like at the beggining of level 2 were my supply of cheese would dramatically drop because of the sheer quantity of mice I had. And so I had to wait for some of them to do in order to produce enough cheese to buy a factory.
The writing made me smile and there's a good sense of progression in the game although it could be a little bit faster at some points.
All in all it's really a great job !
The curscenes you got there were very good and it's not something we often see in ludum entry so it's really appreciated.
Regarding the game I got fairly confused by the controls and although I managed to break multiple times out of the aquarium it was a bit tedious each time. The turtle would frequently end up in a static state and I couldn't make it move no matter what I did. Maybe I missed something obvious ? Some respawn at the beggining of the sequence would have been great as I was quite sad to start all over again when I fell from the bookshelf.
You got a really nice 3D art and the little audio and achievements you implemented were a nice touch !
Good job and congrats on your first ludum entry :sparkles:
Thanks everyone for the nice words :)
@andreadbx & @rose If you liked the Scrabble/Balatro combo (and wished you could play the game without stressing over the oxygen), I'd advise you to look into Wordatro, it was one of our inspiration for this game !
6012 \o/
I liked very much the pixel art and the juiciness of it, screenshakes, sounds effects and little animations. Destroying the floor with your attack is at the same time very satisfying and a bit frustrating because in combat I have a hard time killing enemies without falling through the floor. It's not always clear what you can buy from shops and I did not find the fireball.
Good job :)
Really nice level design. Specifically I like the way save points are "explained" without the need for text. The art was nice and specifically the animations of the boss were gorgeous. The whole staging for the boss is actually really well done, congrats !
Not sure if I missed something but looks like the sound effects and the music weren't done by you so I'd suggest opting out of the audio category.
Overall great job !
Oh boy, I feel like this was just a tiny bit away from keeping me hooked a long time. However the difficulty felt too punished and quickly frustrated me. But I think that with less punishing collisions and maybe larger area of attraction around rock, I could have enjoyed this a lot.
I love the simple but efficient art style, love the music, love the UI (it doesn't often get the loves it deserves during a jam) love the gravity mechanic. I just wish the game would be less punishing.
Overall great job !
Really realy well done art & animations, congrats.
Altough sadly I did find the game hard to play. The control scheme with the X was quite uncomfortable and I couldn't managed to use the mouse to attack and dig (I played on itch).
Maybe some kind of animation cue when a farmer was about to shot would have been helpful because currently I feel like i just have to rely on luck not to get shot.
Ah and I almost forget but great work on the audio too !
Bien joué, toujours impressionant de voir ce qu'une seule personne peut faire en compo ! :)
I found the mechanic really innovative and intriguing. Sadly maybe the depth of field is a bit too shallow here and it was quite uncomfortable to look a the game for a long time. I also struggled to understand what happens after I opened the coded door of Level 1, seems like I fell but I don't clearly understand what happens.
Overall I feel this is really interesting and a nice feat of graphic programming but I would suggest finding a way to make it less straining on the eyes.
Congrats !
I liked your game and spent quite a bit of time on it!
I would have enjoyed more challenge because it all felt too easy. But the game loop and digging was satisfaying enough to keep me hooked and try to buy the costlier upgrades (even though I didn't managed to use the flag. Looks like it didn't work ?). I was a bit puzzled by the rock that you can't mine with your drill. I did figure to use the TNT on them but only after quite some time and I'm not sure if the TNT gets you the exploded ore ? (BTW there was a minor bug where the numbers wouldn't refresh correctly when using the TNT. And I'm not sure if the scanner is bugged or not but I couldn't quite figure what to make out of the numbers.)
Like the person above I found the digging SFX to quickly become annoying but I found the music really nice and well done.
Overall well done :)
Submitting a game is always a reason to be proud of oneself :) So congrats on that !
I only managed to get to the second layer (the blue one) and I'm not sure what the layers represent ? Is it ice cream that fell on the floor ?
I liked having the snails clicking for me and would have liked that they stayed infinitely. Picking up objects on the floor quickly became tedious but maybe there's an upgrade I missed that retrieves them for me ?
Good job !
The game really felt super difficult. The spike flying upward at the beggining of the game really killed me a lot of time. And the controls are not super clear. It took me a moment to understand that I could jump more than once and I still haven't figured out what I can do with the web ?
But still, when I could move after the flying spike I did enjoy the game !
Good job :)
This was really impressive, especially for a compo entry ! Congrats !!
At first I thought it was a pico 8 games and not a unity game (because of the keybinding and the format) but I guess that was the point.
What can I say, the game plays great, looks greats, sounds greats.
If I must find a few things to improve, I'd say the puzzle with the "electric" doors wasn't super clear. And also the writing felt like it was a bit too long for what it was saying but I understand it's a tough balance for such a short game. And finally, how can I zipline ?! :D
Anyway, you did an amazing job and you can be proud !
Looks like I encountered a few game breaking bugs, like collectors not moving to retrieve the money. Money was also blocking the clicks on the ennemies beneath so as time went by, it became harder and harder to kill ennemies :sweat_smile:
It's a interesting base for a tower defense game and if not for those bugs, I would have been compelled to play until the signal was fully charged !
Good job anyway :)
Just for the cableman song I'm glad I played this game !
I kinda ragequit at the level whith 4 lasers in the row. I was always missing the last one. I blame some kind of delay/glitch due to the web version but maybe I'm just bad at rythm. The calibration at startup is a great idea, thanks for adding that and helping everyone have a nice experience.
Good job :)
Okay the art style of the characters is peak skying in the 90s, love it !
I'm really bad at the game though ahah. (Having an azerty keyboard does not help but the problem is probably between my keyboard and my chair)
Well done ! Too bad I couldn't reach the yeti !
I'm sorry I have absolutely no idea how to play the game :/ I managed to put one jack into a socket but that the only thing I could do.
I feel like I would have loved to play with the jacks and the board, too bad you couldn't do what you planned.
Edit : okay on the second try I was fast enough to plug all of them. It's way easier this way when there only a few possible socket lit up.
The game is really beautiful and clearly sets a mood ! Well done.
I am however finding it really hard to discover the riddles. I haven't been able to solve any of them. Maybe some kind of really easy riddle for the beggining or having the option to see the solution would have helped me understand what kind of code I should look for. But currently I'm just puzzled as to what constitute a clue and what is just me not understanding old english.
Congrats anyway, you seem to have put a lot care into this :)
I love puzzle games ! I was confused at first, it wasn't clear that chest would give me temporary bonuses, but once I understood that it was much more enjoyable and I wished there was a few more level to play with these mechanics. On some occasion I would have love to be able to zoom out and see the whole map to solve the puzzle.
The general art is nice, congrats on the end game screen :) And the music was greatly contributing to a soothing ambiance.
Congrats to the whole team !
Tested the web version here so maybe that's why I encountered some bugs ? The shop wasn't working and always took me back to Monday when I selected it instead of "next day".
At first I had trouble understanding what I had to do but then I got the hang of it and it was fun. I was planning my route around space to deliver signal everywhere. It's nice that the orbits were the same each day, this way I knew how to get to the asteroid quickly. The only problem I had was if I went to an asteroid whith no home I would almost always loose because waiting for another sattelite to come by took too much time.
Overall it's simple and efficient. Good job.
I never really tried typing games so I wasn't sure I would like it but actually it was really fun ! Managed to hold until 2:10 ! Sure it's a simple game but I didn't thought I could get so stressed while typing passwords, congrats !
And also, congrats on finishing your first ludum :)
I like the minimalist art style and the concept !
I did go until level 7 but quit after that because I found it was a bit too much of the same thing and too easy. I would have loved some kind of obstacles to work around or stuff like that. In the current state, the circle tower seems too powerful because it has the bigger coverage area. And it works even better in the latter levels where there is many more houses bunched up together.
Also maybe you could have only one mode, I don't see the need to separate the build mode and the check mode in two.
Overall, good job :)
