Brilliant! Really LOVE the game! Please continue with it.
Only thing is put in port names somewhere because its really annoying to try find a port you don't know. Maybe a dotted line between places so you can visually pick out the paths before getting the job.
Multiple ship control really interesting mastery mechanic
Wow just wow massive hearts!
I really found it hard to engage with this game. It was like playing a text adventure but with distractions. I wanted to focus on the story but felt like information overload which ended up frustrating me.
Neat idea but the presentation needs thought.
Graphics do a good job and the gameplay is fun, SPLOSIONS! The Game Over condition is a bit random and feels unsatisfying as I slowly lose more and more power as the particles slow down.
Still great fun
Really enjoyed it amazing game. Love the endlessness of it
Loved the graphics of the bug guy.
Basic mechanics are solid, moving slightly faster than the light beam the tension of hacking all great.
A little overview map would have helped with the later levels. Maybe baked into the background? Found myself making notes on the later level I got stuck on.
Feels like you were building a game for Artificial Life and not Tiny World.
Though other than that an interesting implentation of a common thought problem and simulation. Though you didn't provide enough feedback to the play so what could be an interesting puzzle can starts feeling like a blind pin the tail on the donkey.
Really awesome idea just needs more feedback to the player and it could be really fun.
I enjoyed the humour ^_^ Otherwise a straight forward platformer. The jump sound was a bit repetitive.
Really loved the gameplay with just enough humour and backdrop to give it reason. Really well thought out fun and enjoyable entry. One of my favourite so far.
A nice twist on a classic match 4.
Symbols or more feedback would have been nice. Just felt like the payoff was kinda small.
*Egg Laying Trouble*
Don't want to alter the game post compo till the voting is done but the egg laying is meant to start at the head and to the tail. If you hesitate or go off on the gesture the egg cracks (black square)
Missing Bits: Finding a Target, Blooding Sucking, Finding a Mate, Sex. Was going through it linearly but when running out of time I jumped to egg laying o help reinforce the cycle aspect
The game has a lot of promise but fails on minor points.
At first launch I think brilliant I have limited fuel which I need to carefully managed... then find out I pick up so much fuel its a non issue.
I pull away from the planet and try to execute my first turn... only to get a slow turning arc and a camera which is disorientating when it follows.
Then I thought ooooo I'm coming into land better be safe with my velocity but conserve my fuel. Only to be auto landed (which works nose first).
The bullets even follow the curve of the planets removing any interesting gun play there.
A REALLY BRILLIANT idea just needs a few bits of balance and polish and its a great game. Little things which make a big difference.
Loved the words, gave a nice context. Overall a solid platformer.
Didn't feel like "Tiny World" also the double jump on collecting Mario is not explained at all and I just found it through frustration and button mashing.
Jump sound was annoying but I like the kitten nomming sound.
I think the round world concept would have benefited from a more zoomed out camera. Or maybe a camera zoom in/out at the start/end or both.
Twas interesting, well done :)
Collision boxes are a annoying and the fact the invincibility gives no indication its about to run out get me killed a lot.
Other than that a great fun game. Really enjoyed it, with a light touch of humour :)
Found the controls frustrating and I kept having to look at the help. The generation of the caves is nice but getting caught on the edges takes away a bit of the fun.
Enjoyed the audio
Really like the concept. Was a bit daunting to get started, but fun once its going. I wanted to rate the graphics higher because I LOVE the stylisation but it got in the way of gameplay when I lost people.
I would suggest either going more symbolic or maybe moving to a two tone palette or similar?
Name generator was a nice touch. Feels like you were building a game more for other themes in the final voting round which didn't make it, but Tiny World kinda applies :)
Took me a second to realise the controls but pretty awesome ^_^
I'm really liking HTML5 as a 2D game engine.
The shooting often bugged out or glitched in funny ways shooting the corners of the screen.
Really like the mood and the visual style was interesting. Could have been cleaned up a bit but overall really liked the mosaic effect.
The mood was just brilliant. Visuals worked and the meowing was ace. I was kinda expecting to start getting all trippy. I wanted the ginger ones to really f**k me up.
See Cat Huffing (it's a big thing, my friend devouts an entire tumblr to it)
One of my favourites! Loved it to bits :D
The cut scene could really have used button controls. Also really annoying that the cutscene broke the pixel size, really spoiled it for me.
Overall though ACE!
Love the complex gameplay that comes from a few simple rules, clean art, great level design and overall just fabulous. Well done ^_^
Brilliant clean and simple, fits the theme and it just feels clean and fun with no wasted effort. Top notch ^_^
What platform? Did you press down the mouse button?
Might do an android version with more levels and tweak the controls. I intentionally kept them immediate and analog. Though they don't seem to have gone down well.
Comments are brilliant love the tone and humour of the piece.
aaa battle I'm having nam flashbacks to working in a bank...
Fun game ^_^
Wow that is slick and clean with a brilliant simple design. I LIKE IT!
Love the idea and the mechanic is simple. The ghost of previous flights is a huge help.
Loved it to bits <3
So relaxing and a wonderful experience.
Small tip, one thing that broke it for me was double clicking and selecting the top text. Quick fix for that below.
-webkit-touch-callout: none;
-webkit-user-select: none;
-khtml-user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-ms-user-select: none;
user-select: none;
AMAZING GAME! Just lost myself in tweaking and optimising it.
Amazing loved the little touches like the starfield and clouds . The jump boxes getting taller just felt really polished.
Extremely fun! Burned a good chunk of my lunch playing.
Pity the music didn't loop or you didn't do a quick pass on visuals, just some colour would help. You should def do a polish pass on this and post it up somewhere.
Wow that was an awesome short experience. Loved the footsteps and little sounds.
Brilliant concept, really fun but I don't see what lives add to the experience other than frustration. Really was the only negative and a rather big one.
Very elegant and a brilliant introduction and mood. A little hard but a nice challenge.
Played it for almost a solid hour great fun.
Though it doesn't feel like it fits the theme and I'm almost certain I've played this exact game multiple times in the LD gravity theme.
Great use of the Mastermind style design on old style RPGs. Though the colour feedback was confusing because most people would think green is good.
I think icons might have helped there.
Felt good and had a nice idea. Struggled with targeting the aliens though.
Loved the aesthetic, the choices and general construction. Solid level design to boot.
Really nice to control, I like how its not just one to one. Felt super relaxed.
Really loved playing this. I was all like roll out of my way I have a heart to rip out and throw into someone. :) Well done
That ending A+++
Really an amazing game that did well past my expectations and is so polished. Really well done on creating a gem.
At first I was peased but then the punshing levels took out all the peasure.
The level of polish is amazing, the graphics and audio are ideal. It doesn't really feel like a strong use of the theme however and the platforming can get extremely annoying with some hard to reach jumps. This coupled with block puzzle not saving with with checkpoint and some other minor annoyances really dented the amazing game.
Really top notch, one of the most polished games I've played. Wish it was a bit more innovative, risk taking or explored the theme more.
Frekin A+ Just loved this one to bits. Through damn grenade launch (>_<)
Hauntingly well executed on a tight concept
Really good fun ^_^
Harder than it looks and the Text could be bigger. Really hard to see key information. The sound effects are perfect and the tentacles ended up looking really cool. The Lure mechanic really adds to it.
Overall I would say huge success!
The text on starry background is very difficult to read. Felt live a real text dump. Also I never used the attack.
If you want todo another game like this try breaking the text into smaller bits, focusing on readability. Also tying text to walking forward or parts of the level works. The way you did it felt very book ended.
The art style is amazing, use of the theme is brilliant. The eerie feeling of being in the dark all alone. It was ruined for me by the poor platforming, getting stuck on this and the like. Other than those gameplay issues a great entry, also love the opening.
Really GREAT FUN! Simple clean and fast. The collision sound is really annoying. Had great fun controlling the worm it just felt fun to play.
Found it really confusing signals and feedback. Got it in the end. Really interesting take on the theme.
Because Radations :P
Really fun, great art and overall solid. The jumping felt very floaty, and attacking was a bit iffy. Levelling up was a nice touch.
Really ace game! Fun creative premise
LOVE IT! Really awesome Dune Inspired game. The levelling up felt sooo good!
The digging is very glitchy kept getting caught on stuff
Brilliant! Damn Venus to all hell though.
Very fun to play! Sound got a bit grating, found it satisfying to use the minimum amount of fuel.
Really enjoyed this!! My kingdom for a fast forward button when I'm resource locked! Also it would have been nice if you had separated the game numbers from those on screen instead of one big update tick. You get tick over anxiety (terrible term I know) and it would be a really nice UX change.
BEST LD GAME SO FAR!
I fell in love with this game. I admit I am an AI geek but man this game is cool. I totally agree with your fast forward button, though I urge for a suicide button.
I really hope you do more with this idea post compo! It's so great. I would have loved to see score page with a family tree and random names for the little guys. Just so many things that could be built on this amazing base of game. Hazards, different scenarios, hostile mobs, multiplayer or competitive NPCs.
Really really hope you do something with this post compo if not please say because this is a game I would gladly build a full version of (only if its abandoned of course)
Bravo!
Frekking Amazing! I played it really enjoyed it, came to vote saw there was more went back and then I was like OOOoooooh! I think you hid it too well personally but very nice!
Simple and fun, are the other players AI or other players?
Wanted to drill the other players into pieces :P
Music suited but a mute would be nice :)
Mashy fun goodness. Really wish you had just overlaid your menu seems like a break of theme but otherwise solid.
Really stunning adventure. The time element added a lot to the game. Enjoyed playing a few times to improve ending.
Yeah the jump ability was meant to be reserved for the cat. Though TBH if you are making snow you can build a snow pile under yourself. Glad you had fun with it.
@doos you should have played http://liero.be/ worms with all this kinda pixel particle physics.
Hello Table!
Love the voice acting
I thought they were frogs till I caught one. Too much frustration for my liking but very nice one screen concept.
Ouch that story.... Gameplay felt incidental to the story with not much of a link but yeah well done!
Polished shooter and fun.
Sorry for the ramble thought it was interesting and I wanted to share.
Don't take this the wrong way but it feels very "of our time" now I was going to say derivative but that's too negative.
The room generator code is something I've seen in jams for a few years and is becoming almost standard. The sounds from sfxr feel very familiar in jam games and the shooting and gameplay are extremely common. The timed aspect is something as well more common and of course the reference to a non-winning theme as joke character.
All very impressive in the time limit and I want to give big thumbs up. At the same time I'm bookmarking this as the species reference for gamin tropes 2014. In a good way :D
Really love the zooming idea. Some distortion might have been nice the difference between close and far zoom was so big that without a partial zoom between it felt very disconnected.
Great use of theme.
Worth checking out a similar idea but done with a distortion shader. http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=3479
Really enjoyed that but the aspect ratio was a bit tall.
Really like the concept. Simple fast and fun.
Minor niggle maybe avoid the outlines and used slightly different shades on the circles. OR use neutral outline colour.
Very interesting. Would love to see a bit of balance and polish on this as a future thing. Kept on getting sectors with no suns to charge from :P
I AM SNOOOOOWOMAN!
Now to find boobies :P Was great fun short little game made me chuckle.
So glad you finished, congrats.
Music was a bit strange and I kept getting lost which I guess is the point.
No real use of the theme though with both a menu and scrolling gameplay.
That feels slick, the humour is great spot on for the theme and overall just a fabulous game! Really top notch.
Really top notch but damn it gets hard
puddelipip it was meant to be a grappling hook but with minutes left to go I needed to put in something so I change the debug raycast to render a shit ton of particles :P
Yes sorry as I said its pretty unbalanced atm. If the controls don't work be sure to click the emscripten bar (tiny bit just above the game), it needs browser focus and for some reason clicking on the game doesn't do that.
Love the look of it but the controls and feel were just a bit too sluggish and confusion. The art is mind blowing in its cool retro pastiche.
That is really cute and fun. I quit a few times accidentally. Really fabulous!
Sooo pretty! Plays amazingly well and I love the concept.
The rules are tricky to figure out also a lot of referential humor.
The left field use of the theme is awesome and I love your twist on it. The art and audio are lovely.
Nice use of the theme and really love how the gravity works. Nice mix in of lander style mechanics.
Awesome fun even if it took me 30 minutes to finish the level
Really lovely game I genuinely was smiling the whole time.
Really lovely concept, controls wonderfully
Double tap controls were really difficult. Lovely graphics and nice concept.
Really great fun. The difficulty is rather far off and it might be nice to see the possible words when you fail, if there are any. Though mostly some work to offer difficulty levels would be great.
An alternative to making the computer "easier" would be to offer say 3 letter suggestions only 1 or 2 of which are valid. Might be nicer for mobile as well.
Really clean and elegant idea. A real GEM! Nice work Shahid. Love the clean design of the sound and visuals.
Really nice! A bit slow and floaty but super crunchy <3
Just had a really fun game of this. Defo should expand this into a full blown thing. It's a crazy cool idea.
Though I think bots will be needed just to get that initial traction as finding players for MP is tough.
Would like a faster build up but it was fun and immeditaly grokable
Stellar puzzle game with a great mood and feel. Solid all round.
Struggled with controls. To the point of unplayable at points. The game has a really nice clean look, and the sound sits well and I really like the idea. It's simple but clean. The issue of the controls was just a massive barrier for me I couldn't get past sadly.
Really fun but my typing let me down also I kept missing the space.
Spooky chaos I can get behind! Would be nice if there was a bit more tuning per game and maybe fewer games. Also the switch to mouse for menu was a bit jarring. Still lots of fun
Beep Bepp Blergh. Fun idea
The fullscreen shader really pops the visual to the next level. The gameplay is a bit too simple for my liking but it is nicely polished and the audio and visuals are nicely polished to a satisfying quality.
Absolutly stunning. Really fun nice mix of upgrades and exploration.
Fantastic I just finished coding web junk and you got me to enjoy a mini game about it. Great use of the debug console. That was jsut such a great way to do it.
hehe yeah fair, I had no time to balance let alone write an in game tutorial I'll add some text to the description. I thought the side bar text was enough clearly not.
Woot! I'm so glad you enjoyed it an managed to deliver all of them <3
Excellent and all round brilliant take
Bloody hilarious and I love the classic rude bear death persist which is funny when I'm flying over piles of babies. Though I couldn't get past the vertical shaft. The audio wasn't great.
This is satisfyingly relaxing. Top tier gentle puzzle game. The music is good but I had to mute eventually as I repeated puzzles.
I got stuck with the dragging of supply a few times. It was a bit confusing when I could and couldnt move troops and my lines kept breaking for reasons I couldn't understand. Overal I love the idea. Some fog of war and on phone and I would play the hell out of this concept.
Just so satifying that try try try try try...arrgh okay vote. Real fun and the owl is so cute.
I kept on running out of money but I didn't mind. It was a really fun game and the UI and feel are just perfect
Kinda corny but it works ;)
Gosh that is an addictive climber that I though was too hard then too easy then just right when I realised the increased obstacles later and the different climbing methods.
Amazing you got 12 levels out in this time and such a solid concept.
That was so much fun to play through. Really love these style of games. Would have loved an undo stack instead of just reset but it is top notch
Love the idea of this and really big idea. I had issues with when my gun would and wouldn't fire and getting stuck with the ramp. Like the idea but after trying to play it a few times I had to give up due to bugs but I could see so much work and good ideas. Well done.
The engineering of my meat wagon is supreme
Fantastically polished. Audio was sweet and the checkpoints were nicely spaced but my limited skill caused me to early out.
Yeah its more a toy sadly I want to get spell tracing in. The idea was to give you a score for the SMALLEST most compact spell. I spent so much time on random rune and mesh generation. Too much time I made a sign image (16).png
I hope to make a standalone version and do some polish this week before putting it to bed. Great learning experience.
Really solid puzzle game :zap:
