Wow! Really smart game! The visuals were sleek, the music blended with the game so well, the puzzle designs were really clever and the mechanics for them felt fresh and original. Really awesome work guys!
Got to 566 crystals collected! That gets freaking tough after a while! But I love the frantic nature of the game: trying to collect as many crystals as possible, but dodging barricades at the same time. When the game gets fast enough I start to freak out with panic. I also like the effect of the tiles breaking away. Fun game!
Clever puzzle game! I really like it. One of the hard thing with puzzle games is to design increasingly difficult levels as you go along and I feel you accomplished that here. The mechanics were simple, easy to understand, but created some really clever puzzles. Graphics were basic, but got the job done. Overall cool, fun little game! Good job!
P.S. Where are those freaking guys!?
Really fun game and I'm impressed you pulled it off over the weekend! I'm always down for a Wario Ware style game and this was a very solid one! Art was great, music was fun, minigames had a lot of variety and were all fun! Really great work!
Haha, damn I could only get his confidence to 93ish before it plummeted from that bushy brow dominating the poor man's forehead. I feel so bad for this man for suffering from such a horrific disorder. The look on his face alone gives me sympathy for him. May happiness grace him one day.
Hilarious and fun game! Really great intro, cool art, fun music, and a very clever take on the theme! Love it!
Love the presentation in this one! The visual style and the music were great! Loved how it started off in Wondows where you can just play around for a bit then you get to the real game. Fun game too! Great work!
This is definitely my favourite entry so far! I'm a sucker for first-person dungeon crawlers (did one for LD41) so naturally I had to play this. The visuals were excellent, the audio was fantastic (loved the last dungeon's music) and the gameplay was cool, fun, and original. Funny dialogue from the signs and enemies! Love the blessed angel that is the chicken wing! Amazing work! 5/5
Fun little game. I love the Zelda inspiration and the Gameboy style. Very nostalgic feeling. I also like the design of having to get keys and scrolls. Nice visuals and music. Cool game!
Haha! Funny game. Love the idea and physics and the fact that you can drive into anything. At first I was just running over the kids then realized that aint right and I had to stop near them to pick them up. Tough game, but really fun! Good work!
I didn't find it hard at all to figure out how to play and what the goal was (I played the original comp version) and I found it to be an interesting take on the endless runner genre. Only thing I thought could have been useful was a health bar. I figured out you have 5 hits, but in a long enough run you aren't going to bother keeping track of that mentally or notice every time you're hit. Overall, fun little addictive game.
P.S. Nice music choice.
Really neat entry! Like this take on tower defense. The visuals were really cool, the audio was great, the randomized building shapes made it interesting, strategizing was fun. Great job!
Really cool game! I love the art, I love the music and sounds, the concept was cool and addictive. Only wish was the player movement was a little quicker and smoother, but other than that really neat game!
@zachary-granger @djibess @craigduth Thanks guys!
@ryusui Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I didn't really have much time to test balance, so it might be a little hard. As for the population decrease and crime associated with it, there is a correlation, but it just might be poorly implemented. I have values tied to victims, weapons, type of crime, and objects involved and combine them all to create the population decrease stat. Having played through it myself a few times now since submitting, I see what you mean. There are some harsh crimes with a low value and petty crimes with high values. My algorithm isn't great (should have given greater values for the crime itself than the objects and victims involved). It's something to work on. Thanks again!
@leroyii Thanks haha glad you enjoyed it! Can't be lighting pencils on fire all willy nilly! And good suggestion. I had trouble with player feedback in LD41 and still had trouble here. Something I gotta work on.
@carlos-giraldo Thanks for the feedback. Interesting suggestion, might be hard to give an indicator on that because part of the game is about finding what works and what doesn't and then trying to get a better score as you keep playing, but I'll take it into consideration.
@carlos-giraldo If I understand what you're suggesting, there is no right or wrong answer to how many days you sentence the criminals for. All you're trying to do is keep your population above 0 for as long as possible. Sorry if I misunderstood what you're suggesting.
@michael-coppeta Thanks! Haha, sorry the voice got annoying, I guess you hear it a little too much, but I had fun implementing it. Yeah, the game is a bit challenging as it is, I feel I should have balanced it a little better so people could last longer, but I'm glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate it!
@happyhour Glad you thought it was unique and addictive. I had trouble coming up with something super original, so I was worried the simplicity of the game would make it end up uninteresting. Thanks for the compliment on the charm and thanks for the kind words. Really appreciate it!
@ryomayonnaise Thanks!
@alexkarate @konsumopfer77 Yeah, sorry guys. I knew there was an issue with resizing in my game and wanted to address it before the end of the jam, but I just didn't have enough time. Really sorry about that.
@konsumopfer77 Oh wow, thanks! It was mostly just for the jam, but I talked about it with my friend the other day and we started coming up with new ideas for it that I think would be cool, so we'll see. I may revisit it yet. For now my time outside of jams is fixated on a different game idea, but your words are encouraging, thanks!
@konsumopfer77 Awesome! I appreciate that!
@ratherjolly omg! Thanks so much! I had fun writing the dialogue and implementing the different crimes. The UI is the one thing I think came out best in my game, so I really appreciate the compliment! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much!
When I read the game decription and it said "dispose" of the guests to make more room, I just thought "interesting", but didn't think about what that really meant. Then when I got to playing and ran out of room and saw the "kill" command come up I had a revelation of sheer wonder!
Great game, great art, and funny concept! Good work!
Haha, love this style! The art and designs were funny (love when I unexpectedly spawned as a guy in a wheelchair on my second playthrough), music choice was fitting, and gameplay was fun and had some depth thanks to the trading and scavenging. Those darned vending machines were tricky. Cool game!
Really clever concept. Feels like those funny X simulators you see on steam. LOOOOVE the narration and MY GOD the ending is incredible! You are an artist, sir!
Really nice presentation and great atmosphere. Got caught up just checking what kind of gifs and photos you put on there and got killed by the virus. Was fun trying to move files around from floppy disk to computer to floppy disk. Cool game!
Haha! Love it! God did I ever get fat by the end. Really clever take on the theme and also hilarious! Cool music, intuitive controls, fun game!
Sweet game! Got 1350100 as my high score. Love how chill, but panick-y it can be at the same time! Great art style, real cool music choice, fun mechanics! Nice job!
Really cool visuals, super awesome sound design, love the atmosphere. I liked the idea of the space shrinking when missing, but I feel like crosshairs would have helped and I feel like the balloons shouldn't hurt you, the disadvantage should only come from the space shrinking when missing, because runs are too short and I just want to bask in the glory of the atmosphere while I play for a longer period of time haha. Overall a really cool game though!
Cool game, love the gravity effects, must have been tough to implement, and I love the art atmosphere. Thought it was a really fun game that can be picked up and played with no huge learning curve and I love that. Good job!
Damn, this was a really cool game. Loooved the visuals and I love the riddles! Really clever game and really fascinating world and an amazing use of fruit loops. The only complaint I have, honestly. is that I didn't get to take that cute little toad with me as a pet.
I really liked the visuals in the game and the audio was awesome! The cars were tough to control, but as you play more you sort of get the hang of it. It would have been cool to have a way to get more time and have a high score (number of laps you were able to complete), but overall it was a fun game with a really cool atmosphere that kept you going.
Cool game, Love the the use of loop in your concept. I would have liked to have seen a high-score after you die and try and get as many little red dudes on your screen without dying, but overall it was a fun, simple game with an easy to grasp concept so it made it easy to jump into. Good job!
Wow, so I legit got addicted. And I didn't expect the twist of a dystopian world before I started playing. Really cool. Loved the upbeat happy music and tone of the in-game world and then the dark, deprived tone and sound of the real world. Really good art, sounds, and music! And the gameplay loop was super addictive. Felt good getting strapped into that life support system. Really good job!
Wow, so this is easily the most visually interesting game I've played this jam. Reeeeally love the look and atmosphere of it. The movement was a little tough to get used to, but it didn't stop me from wanting to explore more and more. This style is right up my alley and I loved it! I'd love to play a more expanded version of this! Great job!
I love you too, buddy! Admittedly a little rough here and there, but overall I had fun with it. It took me back to my days playing climb minigames in Counter Strike: Source, so thank you for that. Love the simple graphics, I at first didn't wanna shoot those cute little guys, and later I didn't and decided to maneuvering on or around them. They became my friends. Again overall a fun game. Good job!
@gautstafr @hjalte Haha, thanks for the positive feedback! We had a lot of fun making all the ridiculousness in this game and we're glad somebody can appreciate it.
We really wanted a to add a little text on the screen to better indicate what to do in each segment of the game, but we ran out time. We actually ran out of time on a lot of stuff (definitely bit off more than we could chew with this one), but I'm just glad you could get some enjoyment out of it.
And yeah the revolving door might have been a little harsh, but we thought it was realistic that if you touch the side of a revolving door you explode.
@pca Haha thanks! It's an absolute honour to be compared to such an artist. I will frame this comment on my wall.
@vphyre @kaisenthegreatone @minibetrayal @raivk @witekwitek @makbeard @armenbalian @theg Thanks everyone! We didn't expect to this kind of positive response, so we greatly appreciate the compliments! Our game was definitely rough around the edges, but we would have polished it a lot more had we had more time. Still happy you were all entertained by our silly minds!
@fupi Wow! Such praise! Haha, glad you liked it! Thanks for the critiques too. The camera could use a little work I agree, I suppose there are some areas that are a little tight for the camera to handle and yeah the physics aren't perfect, we ran into the same issue right before uploading, so with some more time we would have loved to have looked into it. Thanks again for the comments!
@nolife-m Lol! Yup! Full stupid, just like us! I'm glad that's your cup of tea!
@rvenson Hey, thanks for playing our game! Glad you enjoyed it! I agree, a minimap or some tooltips and better arrow system on where to go would have been greatly beneficial. Thanks for putting up with what we had though, haha
@ashashza Haha, thanks for the feedback! I'm so happy you enjoyed it so much. We actually did have a prompt on screen initially, but it was making the text display funny on some computers, so we got rid of it. But I agree, that would be a great quality of life improvement. Thanks!
Very different idea. I like the environment and atmosphere and the core mechanics, but it was a little tough to control or know where I was going. But that's not all bad, it gives you a sense of exploration which I like. Also the visuals were poppin'! Good work!
Haha, funny idea. I like the idea of being stuck in a round about, sometimes I wanna be stuck in one for real (weeee), but I will say that the game may be a tad too hard. The car is very sensitive. That's honestly my only real complaint, if you eased up on difficulty a bit I think it would have been an addictive game. Good work overall!
Wow, honestly really fun game. Seen a few games where you face your previous life, but this one really clicked with me a lot. I think the use of stats and how they increase and decrease depending on whether or not you beat your ghost is awesome. I got to lap 18! really cool game, with cool visuals and an addictive loop! Awesome job!
Cool little game, I really liked the visuals and the puzzle concept. I honestly love these kinds of games so I really enjoyed this, though one thing I think would have made it more enjoyable if the timer was counting up instead. I feel like it would be more enjoyable to be able to take in the puzzles and stuff around you to try and figure it out, but then once you know it all you can speed run it and post your times, that way people who take their time enjoy it and people who want to compete for times will enjoy it. But still a really fun, cool little game overall and really good job on the visuals. Keep it up, guys!
Liked the visuals and enjoyed the upbeat music, the ball was easy to control which made it easy to pick up and play, and I liked your increase in difficulty was you continued along with all the added enemies and obstacles. The only things I'd say to work on is being able to turn the camera so that when you're coming back around the corner you can see what you're heading towards and maybe show the players score on the "death" screen so you can focus on the game and not worry about where you're at. Overall though, really fun, simple little game. Good job!
Wow, so this was quite the acid trip. The atmosphere was on point! I really liked how the audio and visuals blended in this dream-like way that didn't want me to stop playing. Really good job!
Now excuse me while I grab a Slurpee
Wow, this was really cool. I like games were they keep you occupied with random distractions, but you never know where it's going next! Really fun playing around with the different screens and there's some really smart design in there with destroying the loop and setting the right binary number. Funny, fun, smart, and entertaining, good job!
Wow, so I'm a big fan of the bizarre and surreal and this was a unique little abstract gem. I'll admit it was tricky understanding when to stabilize the worlds and how to avoid destroying them, but a little time with it and it started to make sense. Great atmosphere and experience!
Wow this was freaking hilarious! The puns, the plot, the variety. My god, this was a journey and I enjoyed every second of it! What a great premise and amazing dialogue and a brilliantly different take on the theme! Loved it!
Really cool and unique game! I think all the music, sounds, art, writing, concept, and use of theme came together really nicely! I don't think anything I did backstage promoted narrative stability, and I'm okay with that. Nothing quite like punching curtains, dropping pianos, and creating art by sabotaging art. Really cool entry!
I like myself a little micromanaging! A great way to reflect the theme of unstable and induce a panic attack. Was a fun game with just the right level of challenge and length! Good job!
Woooow, that art was stunning, loved the setting, and the music and sound was great! I'm a sucker for turn-based RPG battles, so naturally I loved playing it haha. I think there were some really cool ideas in here with having to micromanage your health and stability, I always love that. Would have been cool to see another attack ability that maybe a had a risk/reward aspect to it that the player could choose from every now and then and attack animations could have been a little faster. But those are small caveats in what was overall a very good job!
I was confused at first, but once I read the tutorial it all came together. A fun little Overcooked style game with charm of it's own! Cool art and cool mechanics. I felt like the level should have triggered as complete once you reached the required score rather than the timer running out, but a small gripe. Nice game!
Haha, this was a really funny concept! Cool mechanic with health and gun cooling essentially linked to the same meter making it extra hard attacking and taking hits. The art was silly (a good silly), the music was cool, and the dialogue and use of FMV for the lose screen was hilarious. Good job!
I'm a massive sucker for playing as a frog so points for that alone. As for the game, I love the art and the music was fun! I love the concept too, I can't help but feel that this was a bit of a commentary on the stability of the LD website itself. Mr. Frog got PTSD from his Frogger days when trying to get a signal in the road. Overall, goo job!
This is a postman's nightmare. I'm sure every postman could attest that this is exactly what their job is like.
Really awesome game! Super clean graphics, really unique mechanic for balancing that is especially well utilized by the level design, with a beautifully bizarre world of pedestrians that just don't have any respect for the postman's daily struggle. Great game!
Haha, that was a funny concept and a unique control scheme that fit the theme perfectly. It was definitely challenging (many high mages died at my expense, but for a worthy cause, no doubt!). It's one of those games that you could play while watching tv and try and master. Good job!
This was a unique idea, I like it! The strategy you can utilize with weak, medium, strong attacks and the skill in timing and movement made it simple and easy to pick up, but addictive. Also, the difficulty curve was just right (the birdies can get quite challenging). Great art and music too, awesome job!
Really cool game! Art was great, music was great! Best of all, the game design was stellar! It had very lite metroidvania feel to it. Super well done!
P.S. I got to the top at the final boss segment, but wasn't sure what to do lol any tips?
Wow, really col game! I always love a good puzzle game and this is a clever one I haven't seen the core mechanic of before! Had a lot of fun solving each puzzle and the concept perfectly fits the theme! Love it, great job!
Fun twist on the classic matching game! I was trying to strategize when to squish the cockroaches to avoid too much splatter on the pictures, but it got challenging quite fast. Addictive little game, nice job! I liked the music and Gameboy Colour palette too!
Yes! This is what I've been looking for in this jam! This is weird, otherworldly stuff, and I love it!
I see now that the game's mechanics and how everything works is detailed in the game description, but honestly I had fun experimenting and discovering the behaviour of everything. It was really fun getting a swarm of each critter to the center to awaken the god!
Love the art, love the music and vibes and enjoyed the heck out of playing to the end! Great job!
Who doesn't love a fishing minigame! Cool, classic Pokemon-style fishing game! I enjoyed trying to explore and find good spots to catch rare or epic creatures. I'm pretty proud of finding myself a Thor Chomper and Sparking Sea Serpent! Great job on the game!
FishFighterLD56LeaderBoard.png
Great little Tower Defense! Love the art and the images that set up the scene and I'm a sucker for anything with frogs or toads, so you instantly won me over with that! Audio fit really well too. I enjoyed laying an onslaught of Nature's Trebuchet by the end and achieving victory! Great job on the game!
I spent more time on this than I probably should have. Not a bad thing! I had fun, but my life, you know...
This was surprisingly fun for a simple gameplay loop. The setting and music made for an unexpectedly uncomfortable atmosphere, but in a good way. I love that stuff! And the gameplay and physics worked wonderfully! The physics sort of gave me World of Goo vibes.
If I were to nitpick, it would have be helpful if there was a number displayed somewhere that indicated the number of angels left that could fall before you fail because there were a couple of times where I lost, but thought I had only dropped one angel, so I assume something fell off screen that I didn't see. But again, just a small nitpick.
Overall, a super cool game and veeery addictive! I really liked it!
Really eerie, unsettling! The audio, especially the voices, really sold a uncomfortable setting. I enjoyed exploring and overcoming the obstacles. A very strange game overall, and I love that! Great job!
Cool game, it was fun trying to frantically collect nutrients in the time limit and balancing when to resurface to gain more bacteria footprint to collect more nutrients faster. It's a clever gameplay loop.
I think I would agree with the above commenter that a button for clockwise and counter-clockwise spinning would have added to the experience, but either way, it was still a fun, addictive little game! Good job!
Nice work! I really like the art style and the music was delightful. The mechanics were unique and I had fun taking advantage of them such as by shooting the skull off the wall to dodge an enemy, but also pass it to myself behind the enemy. Really cool game!
Fun game. I enjoyed the puzzle-y aspect and exploring the dungeon. The narrative was funny and kept me pushing forward. The ending was delightful too. Good work!
14m11s, 26wpm... I need to play this more because I clearly need to get better at typing.
Great, addictive game! that drive to get the castle is strong! I loved the timing mechanics that are introduced later in the game. Fun game!
This is really clever! Love blackjack and combining it with racing was very unique, great use of the theme! It's one of those addictive time killers, really good job!
Omg! Favourite entry so far and I can't see it being beat soon. Brilliant use of the theme, like the style, the music, the cyberpunk vibes I get from it. Tons of fun and just plain genius! Great work!
omg! Awesome! Hilarious, fun, and addictive gameplay. Great use of the theme, nice music, pleasant visuals. Really like this entry!
Got lost in trying to see what I could build. Set out on a goal of building a house, ended up turning a sheep into a potential president of the united states then turned him into dwayne johnson using a rock... This is what video games are about!
P.S. Love the subtle references throughout
Really cool, clever game. Sure it's a combo of golf and tower defense, but it really is also a puzzle game, which I love. It seemed like you guys had a really clear vision of your idea because it all seems well thought out. The music was cheery too haha. Nice job!
Really polished! I always love a great rhythm game and this delivered. The art and animations were excellent, the music fit wonderfully, the combo system is clever, I enjoyed cooking for a change! Really great game!
My score was 27425
Sweet concept! I loooove dungeon crawlers and I'm a sucker for golf games, so when I saw this I had to play it! The visuals are awesome and nostalgic and the mechanics are simple and intuitive. Great job!
Omg yes! I love this idea. Fun little bite-sized RTS thanks to the clicker blend. Love the visual style, love the music, and love placing those plates to get myself some auto-clicking and double clicking while I focus on my army. really cool game!
Omg, yes! I beat single player mode! I haven't had a chance to experience multiplayer, but god your mechanics and design in single player were enough to completely win me over. Reeeeeally smart, challenging design! And if multi-player matches really do get as complicated as that last level then this just feels like a whole new form of chess. Addictive and great!
Saving this game for later to play with a friend!
I went into the light and hear a beautiful soothing voice!
Clever tutorial and mix up of the controls in some of the art pieces. Sound design was on point and the humour was grade A material! Great work!
Th-There's no way! I'm speechless. I feel like I was transported to another world and got lost in it. That art is **outstanding**, the music is extremely fitting. I could sit here for hours listening to that music and looking at that art. Then there's the narrative: Surreal, psychological and mysterious. EXACTLY the way I like it. And you did all this in a weekend!? Top marks without question! Phenomenal work!
I originally played your game when there was the fatal error and hoped to get to play a working version cause I loved the Zelda vibes and structure of your game. Now I've tried your patched version and awesome game, man! I love that puzzle-y backtracking style. Seeing those power cells out of reach is such a good drive to up your abilities so you can obtain them. Fun game!
I really like the concept. Great use of the theme and combo of mechanics. There's a lot of potential for something more with this idea. And the visual style and basic sounds all fit wonderfully. If you can get some music to really get the player pumped, then this could turn into one of those intense, addictive, challenging indie games. Good work!
Driving freely and jumping off ramps is liberating while you rush to the different towers to power up your defenses and I really like the sound effects made for the game. The car physics are quite impressive for a jam too. Good work!
Omg, too short, but in a good way! I wanted to see your interpretation on more genre blends because I was legit engrossed. The sounds of the heartbeat and running while thoughts of life popped on the screen, the glitch effect as you hit rock bottom, the ironic simplicity of the escape room and the deeper message that lies within. Slick visuals, cool music, dark humour. Great job!
Awesome use of the theme! Really unique idea and well executed! This is definitely one of the cooler and more unique games I've seen this jam. Awesome job!
You say you didn't get everything done, but what you got done in the time allotted is really impressive still! Quality visuals, nice music, fun game (love the tutorial setup and transition to game).
Omg, I love this! Awesome combination of genres, controls are intuitive, and the puzzle concept is just great. I love that it's so trippy too! This is one of my favourite entries so far. Awesome job!
lol I love this concept. Always funny to combine horror with mundane activities like farm. visuals were cool, sound was fitting, and gameplay was fun and intuitive. Great work!
Art and music was great! The personalities of the snakes made me laugh. I kept getting really long then accidentally eating my tail lol, but really fun/funny take on the classic snake game and a clever blend of snake and dating sim. Good job!
Holy crap! Really nice use of the theme. I have a thing for text adventures, so to combine it with platforming and utilizing it for the visuals too was really cool. Controls are simple and intuitive too. And damn that music was nice, it got me so pumped in the last level that I didn't want it to end! I love the progression of the level design too. Smart game!
@Matthew-Hrehirchuk Sweet, thanks! Sick track!
Thanks for all the great feedback guys!
@der-finski I'm not sure if it's been done before, if so that's a little disappointing, but regardless I had fun coming up with the idea and implementing it!
@kleinzach Thanks! Yeah, I didn't get much time to play test and get a feel for the difficulty, so if it felt a little difficult, I apologize.
@Random-storykeeper Awesome feedback! Thanks for the compliments. As for the criticisms, I agree 100%. All of what you said would have been stuff I would have worked on if I had a little more time. The only one I disagree with is the turn-based suggestion. I wanted my game to feel frantic by having to multi-task the two parts of the game. Also, is the restart button too close to the other controls? I originally had it as 'r', but realized it would be too easy to accidentally restart, so I moved it over. I didn't want it too far from the other controls too. I might reconsider the placement of that key, then. Thanks again!
@shohs Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, that's something I definitely want to work on. My battles are simple right now, but even in their simple state I have a little depth implemented such as weaknesses/resistances and mp costs and I want to make that stuff clearer to the player with better player feedback in battles such as indicators when you've hit an enemy weakness or when they are resistant to something and to allow the player a bit more time to read the dialog if they want to.
@Random-storykeeper Certainly! I think hitting 'r' then bringing up a little confirm window is a great idea!
@nardandas Thanks for the critique! Player feedback is something I'll work on for sure! Right now it's implemented so when you use an attack that costs MP while you are out of MP you lose your turn. I had intended to fix that problem before the jam was over so that the game lets you pick a different attack instead of lose a turn, but I forgot.
@trivial171 Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I have to improve the player feedback so the players have a better understanding of what's going on in battles. I think giving players a little more time to complete the game as well as clearer descriptions of what's happening in battle with some visual and audio queues to represent that is what I have to do.
@arzi Thanks! Part of my idea is to make the player frantically multi-task the two sides of the game. I understand wanting the two aspects separated, but I like the action/arcade-y feel that multi-tasking adds to my game.
Thanks for all the kind words and great feedback, everyone!
@Sintel Thanks! Yeah lol I need to add a game over state when that happens. For now a player can press 't' at any time to restart the game.
@Chris-Coe Thanks, man! Yeah the combat could use better feedback for the player so the player knows what how to effectively kill enemies. Basically each enemy has a weakness and resistance so it's a matter of playing and figuring it out at this point until you notice it. I'll add better feedback though!
@jeplmr Thanks so much! that means so much to me, man! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much!
@wildcard Yeah, that's a good suggestion. I even noticed that myself sometimes when I play and I'm focusing on the dungeon building and didn't realize I'm in a battle. And I do plan on expanding this game and hopefully selling someday, so it's really nice to hear that, thanks!
@RocketRaccoons Thanks! And that's fair, I didn't expect a lot of people to like the music anyway. it's funny, I had this idea a little earlier on in the jam, but thought it would be too hard to program, so I was trying to go with a different idea, but then out of stress of trying to come up with something else I decided to take a walk and maybe think through what the algorithm I would need for the dungeon building and in the middle of thinking it through and it suddenly clicked, so I rushed back to my apartment and implemented most of it in no time. It's actually not that hard.
Darn I keep seeing the keys then missing them lol. Simple, but fun, addictive nature. I like the retro feel and I love the massive explosion when you die lol .One criticism is I feel like it would be more intuitive if 's' was for shoot and 'space' was for jump, but that's just me.
Cool, unique idea! I love having to multi-task getting ammo and killing enemies and completing the level. Good work
Fun game. You definitely got the idea across that you wanted with the old-school game-and-watch style and I like the mix with resource management. The sounds were on point too. I would have preferred to have the controls be a little different, maybe left and right arrow keys for moving back and forth and then something like shift for chill and space for hitting. Just a thought. Good work otherwise, though!
Cool game, stylish and pretty darn polished (slick menus!) for the time you had. I'd say make it a little easier for the jam, or have multiple difficulty levels. When it comes to a jam like this people have very little time to play your game so if they get frustrated quickly they'll give up and move on (I may have made that same mistake myself). But other than that, really well done, man! Good work!
Haha, really cool idea. Very challenging. Great use of the theme and great sense of humour!
Hell yeah! Date successful! The visuals were awesome, music was cool, humour was on point, and the gameplay was clever. Hilariously fun time!
Sweeeet! Great game! I've never been one for the clicker games, but god this is addictive. It's that shmup blend. Love it!
