I was happy to find another musicgame but sadly:
I dunno if it's because I play it on wine on linux but the game freezes each time I play a note.
The keybinding is not handy for french keyboard, not at all.
I have no sound, for a music game that's too bad :( Again this is perhaps because of wine. Tell me so I can adjust my marks.
I think that could be a very nice game, it would just need a bit more time to fix the gameplay a bit and add some decoration to the station. Still, the game is enjoyable (and hard) as is.
A video would be nice indeed. But I play board games a lot and I will definitively try to build that game asap. I don't have 3D printer but with some wood and cardboard I'm sure I can reproduce the caapults and pawns
Nice game with nice weapons. Graphics aren't bad at all. Good job!
Awesome. I played it on linux with wine. It reminded me of the first games I ever played which were in that kind of mazes too. I just would have liked to have music and sounds.
I am sooooo bad at these games... Even the easy mode was hard on me. I can't manage guitar hero with 3 keys, so here with 7 it's catastrophic. But the game is really nice, and I'll always admire people making game synchronized that much with music, that's not an easy thing to do! Well done!
I had to play the windows version with wine too. This game is hard, or that's because I'm usually bad at that kind of games. I agree with what people are saying about the movement speed. But overall this is a very good job!
Weird game. The idea is nice, but I guess I'm not good enough at maths :p Indeed, a bit more help would be... helpful. It took me time to understand what to do, why the first enemies weren't moving, etc.
The game is beautiful, especially the attack animations... AWESOME. The audio is very nice too, it tunes well with the game universe. I played it on Chrome on linux, I had some "lags" at first but it did go away, maybe it was just the time to load everything, dunno. Good job!
That game is just excellent. You want to relax after work? Just go smash rabbits with fridges and stuff. At first the plane control is a bit tricky, but you fastly get used to it. I would have make the aiming harder, like having to anticipate the plane speed, but the game would have been much much more difficult... Good job!
Well, as you know, I really like your game. The procedural sound idea is great. Just too bad you hadn't time to do the frequency modification part, but I guess it ould be a nice future upgrade. I can't do as good scores as you did in the stream :o
I played it on linux. The game itself is very nice, nature parts are beautiful. Controls are hard on my french keyboard, I feel like the robot is drunk. Too bad you hadn't time to implement the rest of the game, I think the idea is neat!
The concept sounds interesting but I can't understand what's happening in game.
The movements are hard to control, the fact that you slip is hard to master. There are some sound effects issues when you jump on a platform (the sound is played several times, which is annoying).
But I liked too when someone die and is shattered in cubes :)
The concept is nice, the theme is respected, but :
- With a non-QWERTY keyboard, the controls are lame
- Even with a QWERTY keyboard, change position and shoot bindings are not well chosen IMO
- The soldier goes up and down too fast, it's really hard to aim well.
Well, these are tunes you can make easily when you have time, for a jam it's not bad at all.
Not bad for a first game.
I didn't manage to figure out how to win the game, if there is an end.
Di you do the audio yourself ? because it's not bad. Gameplay is fine too.
Well done !
Google Chrome detects a virus in your project so I can't play it, the download simply never finish.
Really good game. Except that the sounds are too loud. I did not quit before I won :) These bacteria are discusting, I don't even wanna know what are these things we throw at each other :) Good point of view about the theme too.
Nice concept and graphics. The game is really fun especially when you know your answer is wrong but you go for it anyway just to see what will happen :) The day/night effect is pretty cool as well.
This was an hard one for me. Not the game itself, but the fact that you can only move with WASD and I have a french keyboard with ZQSD. Including arrow keys would have been nice, that's what I do for lost guys like myself.
I would have expected better graphics from a jam entry. The music become annoying soon enough but, well, isn't it the game of almost all of them is any jam ?
I had trouble to understand what the goal was so I almost only explored.
You took the theme seriously, the game is actually inside an image of a screen :)
Well, as a Linux user I couldn't let a game with penguins escape without a test.
Penguins Can't Fly is a fairly simple but yet entertaining game in which you can shot everything that moves. AND I LIKE THAT.
Just spam my canon, try to get these aliens out of my sky. It become more and more challenging as times goes. Speaking about time,
the nice touch is that day and night mood.
I just regret not having some scores to compare my runs.
That's a Super Meat Boy like, with perma-death. Fans of Super Meat Boy will like this game. I'm Super Lame at that kind of game
and get frustrated very fast so I couldn't finish it, there certainly is a lot of challenge in that game.
Graphisms are nice pixel arts, there is a nice fake old tv screen effect.
The only weak point is the lack of audio content.
Really good arcade game. The addictive ones. Movement are a bit tricky at start but you finally get used to it.
I really like the weirds effects the ball can have. Sometimes it just spin around me and I don't know what direction to face.
The precision meter is a nice feature, it remind you how much you suck at touching the ball :)
That's a really fun and addictive game, simple and fun.
I couldn't play either because of that exception at launch. I've got java 7 on my linux mint, no updates in the repositories. I'll see if I can do a more direct approach
Well, the theme reminds me a bit of 10sec one. It was hard to everyone to came up with very original ideas. The game lacks a bit of fun and music. I like pixel art graphisms. It serves tour game well.
I successfully managed ton run it with wine on linux. The arts and the effects are indeed amazing. I've a french keyboard and WASD is not handy, plus the game is sometimes challenging so.. I'm not good at you game :p But it's fun for sure !
Excellent ! The gift part was already hilarous, but the Rudolf part is even better =)
Nice idea that needs to be developped !
Really really good =) The graphics are nice, the game is original, the solution is funny ! Gratz !
Interesting idea, even if the art needs an update, you forget about them fast.
Awesome =) I like that kind of WTF :)
Too bad it's very short, more choices would have indeed been needed !
The game is really nice, I do like the pixels graphics and the goal. I got fun playing it.
Only negative point I see is bugs : you can start the game without taking care of the 10sec by not clicking the sign.
But that's a 48h game and that's normal. If I do not cheat, this is really challenging =)
Nice ideas, it was a little bit hard for me too but I assume you can take that idea to do a game that would be accessible to (almost) anyone.
With some more graphisms and choices it would be great !
The cube is too slow to do anything, it take 5 second to get out of the first platform. I haven't reached the flag :(
There's an idea that deserved to be developed.
A found attacking a bit weird, it took time before I know for sure how it work
Nice concept, it's hard to plan something since events arent maped to the launch button so each try is different and you need to have some luck, even if you try so hard to press the button each time at the same moment.
Works with wine on linux
Really nice concept, I do like puzzle game and yours is really nice and unusual ! Think with three or more dimensions like that isn't so easy and then you get used to it and solve levels.
Level design is good too, it brings fun.
I do not the the theme either in the game :/ It misses audio too
I tried to launch it wth wine on linux but it says :
"Cabinet is not valid"
and then
"Extracting file failed. It's most likely caused by low memory (low disk space for swapping file) or corrupted Cabinet file"
Don't know what that file is, I don't know GameMaker either so, doesn't help !
Can you provide a linux tar.gz including needed librairy files. I do not have them all.
The game seems nice at first look =)
The links seem broken, I cannot download linux nor windows version, the web version is a black screen on my linux :(
Hi
I didn't managed to pass some levels, but the game is really really nice with a good concept, humor and nice pixels graphics. The 10 seconds are short and stressful, just what we do need =)
Very nice job, especially for a first one !
Hi !
I played you game on linuw,with wine, after downloading the two missing DLL.
Too bad you hadn't finished the game, I think your theme idea is interesting ! The keyboard concept is uncommon (that's a positive thing) but I've a french keyboard so it's not handy with the second event :) Well you hadn't time to finish it so there's nothing much to say.
It's a game that deserve to be played finish and I'm sure it would be fun !

cast cast cast cast cast cast cast cast cast cast cast. The game is fun at the beggining, but once you have a decent inventory size and have to spam "cast" it's getting annoying. Maybe it would need some upgrade with events happening while fishing that make you earn more money, to balance between the number of casts and the $ gain. Also there is a bug that allow you to have less than zero baits in the inventory. Otherwise the game is nice, the goal is set, the game run smoothly even when I type non-sense :) cast cast cast cast

What an interesting mix of genres! Controls are a bit clunky at start but after a few games it gets easier.
Soccer Punch by rmc 2018-04-26T19:22:50Z ♥ 0
Waow that's hard! I failed more that I actually scored ^^ It's hard to get passed the defense, they run fast and the goal is not a piece of cake either. I like the fact that they take they placement back if you get far.
Ludums Kitchen by tommohawkaction 2018-04-26T19:17:21Z ♥ 1
The game is excellent. The music is just really repetitive and the platforms are hardcore sometimes haha. Letting the player use a controller would be nice. But your concept is really good and that could make a sellable mobile game for sure, you should keep upgrading it!
Rhythm Overdrive by Diblow 2018-04-24T20:57:02Z ♥ 3
Man. Go for steam. I would by it right now! This game is so well sync that when I got some laggs from recording a video of it for some friends of mine, the music and ships were still laggy-synchronized. AWESOME. I don't know how you pulled that off, but I had a blast! The first song is my favorite though. At first I was like "It's a shame the player ship isn't synchronized with the music somehow". But like 30sec later when the beat kick off, you synchronize your ship with the music unconsciously! Best game I've played so far and maybe even in a jam. 5/5. You nailed it.
Harvest Hook by MaikelOrtega 2018-04-24T20:31:16Z ♥ 2
Oh man the idea is awesome. I got a bit of vertigo at start running around the planet but you get used to it. I love grapping the clouds to water my crops! The tutorial gif you made comes in real handy its not easy to figure out how to play otherwise. It takes some time to master the hook, but when you do you have a real pleasant time growing up carrots and..stuff. Well done!
Zoccer by PhilStrahl 2018-04-24T20:23:23Z ♥ 1
I tried your game and saw it was you Phil on my way here to comment. To me you respected the theme like a boss. It was fun playing especially with the grass and all reminding me of my garden. It took me some time to realize I was on a real soccer/football field and when I did I went straight for the goal.. big surprise haha. The controls are a bit clunky, it's hard to really control where you shooting the ball but hey, that's where the challenge comes from! The packs to increase stamina are a benediction, it's really pleasant when you find some. Well done!
Bulletland! by Gulyasarni66 2018-04-24T20:10:55Z ♥ 2
Too bad you did not finish it. Will you continue developing it? If yes I would play. Maybe a bit hard right now and it's hard to figure out how to do stuff.
Shepherd and Dog by obachuka 2018-04-24T19:51:46Z ♥ 1
Finally someone who has created a game in C++ from scratch just like I did! That game seem easy at first glance but really isn't... controlling both characters at the same time is tricky. I'll cheat and ask my little sister this weekend to help me haha. Graphisms are cool, they fit the theme of the game and would be nice for younger audience! The only thing is that you can go to the next level even if you lost. That was great for me to be able to test your game further, but in a non-jam situation I guess it would not behave like that. Good job! Keep polishing it up!

Hello! I saw an article you posted during the jam and loved the Cyanide&Hapiness kinda like graphic style (and still do). I think your game has some potential but you just missed time to add more things to it. I had the "combo sticking on the screen" bug too, but it's not really bothering. It would have been funny to have some improbable dialogues between the player and npcs but yeah, it's a jam. Cheers! And well done!
ROYAL HEIGHTS ! BattleRoyal/PlateFormer ! by SphinxFr 2018-04-24T19:33:38Z ♥ 2
Salut, C'est toujours difficile de tester un jeu réseau de ce genre quand y'a pas grand monde pour jouer. J'ai pu faire une partie avec un collègue en LAN. Les sauts sont difficiles à maîtriser, les trampolines encore plus (enfin pour moi, mon collègue avait l'air de s'en sortir). La sensi de la souris était trop forte mais j'ai pu le régler sur la souris. Par contre les graphismes en jettent, c'est impressionnant de voir ce que vous avez fait sur le stream en "vrai". Je ne sais pas si y'a plus qu'un spell j'ai toujours trouvé le même (avant de mourir pitoyablement). C'est sympa aussi de lancer le jeu juste pour explorer ! Globalement c'est du bon boulot, comme quasiment tous les jeux d'une jam ça mérite un coup d'ajustement et de polishing, mais en 3 jours je suis épaté par ce que vous avez fait :D
Prison Farming by lazarche 2018-04-24T19:23:42Z ♥ 2
I guess it would need some more additions but that's not bad at all. Definitively one of the better mix of genres I found so far. The concept is nice, graphics are good. The audio would need a bit more work but hey, we only have a couple of days. I just found some downtimes when you just planted weed and waiting for it to grow, even if it grows quite fast. Well done!

I REACHED 100! I killed so many of my men I feel bad. I've got like 50 dead just on the turn 99... Man your game is really good. The gameplay is nice, the graphics too. It just misses some audio and upgrades/new types of men and planes and stuff!
Loved it!

Super Slime Slasher Ultra by sebastianscaini 2018-04-24T12:10:13Z ♥ 3
Hi! I tried your game on linux and it works fine! I liked it even if it's hard not to hit slimes of other colors when they come for you... Mouse+keyboard are indeed hard to master but I'll play more tonight with a proper controller. The game itself is really well done, I liked the tutorial (even if a bit too long) especially because of the voice acting! Graphisms are cute and polished in their genre. Well done guys!
