Cool! I really liked watching the platforms fade in and out, and having their colliders match almost exactly what was showing was really satisfying. The movement was pretty slide-y and float-y, but I liked the little box dude a lot he was cute. Nice job!
Hey that was really cute! I felt like the game was lacking in depth personally, but the presentation was very nice!
I tried for awhile, but I couldn't figure out how to play :(
I don't understand how to connect the nodes. They don't seem to connect they just look like they draw over top of eachother. Any tips?
I agree that 10 seconds is a really long time! But I really enjoyed the title and intro sequences, very funny :)
Also the music was well done even if it just an arrangement :)
I can't say I really understood what was happening, but I really liked the background art good job!
Very cute! I especially enjoyed all of the art assets, and the cat sound effect!
Woah! That was really fun :)
Definitely the lack of checkpoints is holding the game back a lot, but the core loop is fun, and I really enjoyed the soundtrack!
I really enjoyed the graphics, especially the coin sprite animation, but I found level 2 too frustrating to continue playing unfortunately :(
I agree with others that I wish there was a way to reset the timer manually, but getting back from the boots upgrade was a fun time! I also enjoyed the death sound effect.
This was fun! The music was simple but effective, and I really appreciated the hold-to-fire mode on my touchpad :)
One thing that might have been nice is different enemy types? The game got a bit stale for me after level 20 or so personally.
Hey that was pretty cool, I liked the sound effects especially. I agree that the game didn't seem sized properly on Firefox
Also all of the graphical effects were well done, they were cute!
Woah that is hard, I think there is a bit of a wpm cap on the game if I typed too fast it didn't register my inputs unfortunately. But I thought it was super cute! I loved all the birds I got to see, nice job!
Nice game! The jumping felt a bit floaty, but I really liked the core idea. It was fun having to jump while moving to keep platforms up, but also be careful to dodge the holes in the ground :O)
Wow! It reminded me a bit of Golf Story, using the peaceful game of golf in new ways. The graphics were gorgeous, and even though the music got repetitive it did a good job setting the scene of the game. Nicely done!
Great job establishing an atmosphere! I can't say I got very far in the puzzles but the colors and artstyle were very nice to look at :)
Nice job! I like the particle effects especially :)
I like the voices! I couldn't find the treasure unfortunately... :(
Also the trees are really pretty!
Nice job! Having to kill in a certain order is definitely a twist, with different attack types to worry about too it made it a fun reaction game. I did not understand why my attacks kept being reordered though, that was quite frustrating to play with
Overall, charming :)
Nice! I'm glad you got the embed feature working, I couldn't figure it out for my pico8 game.
I loved the little mini game after the end! Super funny
Wow!!! That game was HOT
Beast mode game!!!!!!!
Woah the ending art was sickkk!!
Really fun! It reminded me of over-cooked in a way, going to different stations. The art was very cute, I loved the cookie-eating animations! I'm curious, did you experiment with having a dash option to get around a bit faster? Maybe if you dash into a toddler too many times they would die.....
I like the way the tiles spin when you hover over them :)
That was well put together! I think the starfield effect really tied everything together to make it feel like a game, it was fun to watch them slow down and speed up every time I jumped.
I'll try to be brutal for you :P
I agree with other posters the movement was pretty clunky, very slow. A couple tips for that: one is of course having a higher acceleration factor, you can set it up to calculate the acceleration based on top-speed and time-to-accelerate which I find useful. Another HUGE thing is when you turn around either instantly set the speed to 0, or have a way faster turn-around-acceleration, up to you, but that really helps things feel snappy.
Another thing is the jump, a secret about platformers is you really want the falling gravity to be higher than the rising gravity, really helps give it weight. (An exception I can think of is Kingdom Hearts which takes the opposite approach, it has a very low falling gravity) Here is a GDC talk about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hG9SzQxaCm8
Other things, I'd say try to prevent the platforms from intersecting, it looks pretty gross when they do I think. And there were times when the next platform was simply too high up, at least I couldn't make the jump.
But yeah, good showing! As I like to say, if people are criticizing that means your work is worth criticizing :)
I found myself doubting what is left and what is right, definitely a good sign. The lambda on the terminal was a nice touch :)
I agree that having piece rotation would be nice. I especially liked the sound effects being voice acted, always a fan. Also the graphics were really nice!
Nice! The music was really well fitting I thought, and sfx were pretty good too. I thought movement was just the right speed, and having a bit of a delay before attacking was fun. Those tiny rats were scary the first time I saw them! Playing on a laptop, I didn't really understand how to use the gun very well, might have helped me out not sure.
I agree I kept falling through the boat, but I was able to get to the cannon a couple of times and I liked the sound effect on it :)
Okay the death zoom in was genius
I love seeing the chess inspired games! I thought the voice acting was really fun :)
159s! I like it, I wish there was maybe one more thing to think about in the game. I thought it was really nice that the meteors follow the gravity of the sun and fall in just like the ship does :)
Nice! Very calming, sound design is very well done I thought. I loved the effect of the leaves blowing in the wind especially! Having something happen at the end would complete the experience I think, maybe having a timelapse of the plant, or a picture of it?
Ha what a nice take on chess, seeing a Squire was pretty funny. I think this has some good potential, it was pretty fun to buy the pieces and watch them go around fighting, I just wish there were more enemies on the board to fight :)
Tried to play but the link is dead, got 404 not found :(
Wow... very nice! The gameplay loop was fun, music fit well, and sfx were really good too. I like the frog friend a lot. Puzzles were well paced, although I thought a tad too easy for my taste. Would like to see more!
I liked the lore :)
Woah, I loved the musical effect when you had the replay robots going! Would be fun to play with more stuff in the levels than just the replay robots and death lasers if you wanted to add more :D
I had a wow moment when I figured out you can roll the debris onto other debris and push a huge ball of stuff around! I think there could have been more of a challenge in the game, maybe a tighter time crunch? Also I like the art :)
Overall, fun but pretty easy.
Having to hold in your pee was genius!
Nice concept :)
I like the idea of balancing party and grades before graduation, and the hunger complexity was a nice touch.
One quick tip since it's your first jam, using something like https://coolors.co/ to choose your colors instead of those harsh Full RGB colors can really help boost your game's aesthetic and is super easy to do!
"Grade: 0/50... C" Love it! Especially for your first Ludum Dare :)
I thought the mini games were fun, with perhaps the exception of the "choose a topping" because it didn't seem to matter which one I chose. Once the difficulty started ramping up, it was really compelling, definitely a good mix of different types of games.
I think upping the speed before round 10 would be nice, maybe with less than 25 rounds? Not sure, something to play around with, but after round 6 or so I was ready for a speed boost.
As always the great Pierce Brooks delivers a game that is a mix of awe, confusion, and terror. A true member of that elite group of developers that constantly surprises, yet remains humble and approachable in the face of their own greatness.
There are no words to describe Circleville, it is engaging, it is fun, but what is it... in a word, revolutionary.
Fun :)
The art is very cute, and the music fits pretty well. I was able to get to over 50 by simply moving back and forth on the light-squares. For me the ai only added dark-square bishops, perhaps something could be added to have it add equal numbers of light and dark square bishops?
Overall, I like it :)
Cool! I really thought the white balls were a nice touch. At first the different colors confused me, but I imagine the game would get pretty easy if they were all the same color. I would have liked a guide line showing where my number was going to end up. Overall, well done :)
Woah!!!!! I got totally stuck on level 7 : (
This is a sweet puzzle game! Once my character fell through to the next level my jaw dropped!
The difficulty progression was way high for sure, it's a pretty complicated system you have so there's plenty of time to slow roll it.
The art was cute for what it was too!
Very cool! Some of the art on the frog side I had trouble with seeing, the paper airplane especially blended right into the background. But fun concept!
It looks beautiful, the art palette you used was a good choice, and watching everything unfold was sweet
The gameplay is kind of slow, and the transition between platforms is definitely a place that could be tightened up, a great place to add some JUICE
Overall very relaxed feeling and very pretty!
Woah nice! A lot of little effects in there I liked, the way the little tails look when the game starts, the way the character shakes, very nice
Funny idea and the music is perfect!
Kinda slow but that's okay
Ha I love the falling sound effect!
In terms of game feel moving around in the air was a bit stiff, maybe add some velocity stuff or tweak the speed.
Music was nice too :)
Very cool! The graphics are amazing, the effects are also good. A problem I see is small movements are very tricky, always using up a jump. But overall it's a really great idea, I love the vertical dungeon crawler aspect to it. Very well done!
Source code?
Haha, very cool I love it! It told me the folder must be named: Ludum_Dare_34, just so you know. All of the images look great btw.
I love how I killed Fredie Kruger when I outlawed masks with the guillotine :)
You have to install Processing 3 in order to play it.
Mine worked fine, not sure why also Windows 10 64 bit.
This is very cool! The only problem is the possum didn't seem to grow if I killed it? Also the possum died before the shots got to him, which left the bullets shooting at nothing D:
Overall very cool though, I enjoyed it.
Cool! I like the idea of a card game for ludum dare!
The mechanics aren't very well explained, and it's odd to be forced to make a deck when you haven't played the game yet :S
The graphics are great, other than the small font on the cards.
Great job! I can tell you put a lot of work into it, but it just needs a bit more explanation about how the game works. The HELP scroll just launches the game.
Cool! The gameplay leaves a little to be desired, it's very slow paced. You just sit there waiting for things to happen, and press a button. But I like the idea of yourself growing, making it harder to dodge things as they come at you!
I very much like the graphics, crazy.
The gameplay leaves something to want, the first few monsters were very easy and then it spiked up. Couldn't avoid his attacks but maybe I just suck :S
Very nice! I love the graphical style to it. It's also a very interesting idea, any file at all. Crazy.
:)
Very nice art! It's a pretty cool concept, but the controls are a bit too difficult to grasp. Hard to eat any bugs.
Good Job!
I absolutely love it! The ending boss was such a shock to me, very cool. At least I assume it was the ending boss, he's too hard for me right now :S
I love shooters and would massively enjoy something like this took even further :D
I'll say that the beginning is a bit slow, after a death. Or perhaps the curve is too jarring, the sniper field of Flyers was crazy.
Overall: I love it! 5 stars

That was pretty cool! I enjoyed the slowdown effect and the little triangle ship friend that was nice. There was a lot of stuff going on at once and I definitely felt under-resourced for the challenge, but it was fun for a couple minutes :)

I liked all of the different enemy patterns, good job!

Ha that's hilarious, I got 1600 without dropping FPS and then I died because I couldn't move at all :P
