Awesome game! I loved the mood the music created.

Awesome game! I loved the mood the music created.
what are you supposed to do? Do you have to block those balls from hitting your tower or something else?
Nice game! The only thing I would suggest is to make it possible for the cannon to shoot the enemies that are at the gates. Other than that it was really good.
Man that was awesome! The art was amazing! The only things that annoyed me were the rotating platforms and the camera movement. The camera would fall behind too quickly so the blob would be on the very edge of the screen or not visible at all. Other than that I loved it! Oh yeah and watch out for the god of game dev! ;)
I love it! the only thing that isn't that great is the controls... or maybe I'm just bad or something : )
Nice game dude! I know how you feel with not getting all the things you wanted to get done in time. I had to cut corners a lot too. That was a very creative boss lol.
I liked the idea and it was very fun but the screen was too tall and I couldn't see the bottom off the screen so it was hard to play.
Really cool!
Nice game! I didn't like the huge clumps of baddies though. Maybe if you added a repelling force to the baddies the game play would be more interesting.
That was pretty awesome! I liked how you turned pressing buttons on your screen into a fun experience. The only thing I would suggest is making some sort of way to let the player now they could pick up the words on the screen and put them into the trash. Maybe increasing them in size when the mouse hovered over them. I know you probably didn't have time for that but it's still good to give suggestions for someone's game.
It was cool but I didn't like that the screen went completely dark. It was not very enjoyable when the screen went black. You don't know where your going and then suddenly it's game over.
That was awesome! It was really fun to play! I liked the sound effects too.
Awesome! A little confusing with the rotate with the mouse though. At one point I was shooting at an asteroid but my cannon kept rotating for longer than I wanted so it hit the planet. But other than that it was fun.
I liked the main menu layout. It was much better than buttons.
That was incredible! I managed to save 1691970 people. I was doing pretty well at first: Xenov_ Ascension 4_28_2020 12_21_32 PM.pngXenov_ Ascension 4_28_2020 12_21_24 PM.png
Amazing game!
Nice game it was really fun. The only thing for me was that you couldn't kill those skulls that followed you around. Other than that it was awesome.
yeah sorry about all that. All my online school got in the way of fixing most of the problems, but thanks for the input. I really appreciate it. I learn a lot from good feedback.
I was going to add music, but I ran out of time. :(
really? I'll try to fix it.
not sure what's wrong with the web version. The pc one should work
Ok I fixed the HTML5 version and now it should work. Enjoy!
To @HuvaaKoodia:
Yeah I couldn't keep up with school and this game so one thing had to win... of course it was school. I was going to make it where you could dodge the rain drops but I just ran out of time. But that's ok. It's all apart of the challenge. Ludum Dare wouldn't be as fun without the small time frames. Thanks for the feedback!
To @aguahervida: Thank you so much for the feedback! I really appreciate it. Good tips and suggestions really help me to improve my game dev. You guys really make my learning journey a lot easier!
Thanks for playing my game and I hope you enjoyed it.
To @mrchippy: Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely take the time to learn about level design. I really like that so many people are playing my game and giving me priceless feedback! Before I could enter into Ludum Dare I only had my family and friends to play my games which isn't necessarily bad but they don't know how it feels to make a game in 48 to 72 hours. So thanks for playing my game and I hope you enjoyed it!
Nice game! I loved the graphics and the game play is really nice. The one thing I would suggest would be to not spawn the player in the middle of the room when they enter. Also you need rate other participants games in order to get more feedback on your game.
Your game is pretty cool! This is also my first jam and I'm 13. Your game was fun, but I found the movement kind of clunky and the jump height wasn't always consistent. Other than that it was awesome! Keep up the hard work!
Very cool game! Unfortunately the movement was a bit clunky. The jump height wasn't consistent and the jump didn't always register. I found a few bugs in the game. The first one was that the player could get stuck in the ground allowing him to stop. Also when I used a controller you could hold down the Y button and jump really high. Other than that it was a really fun game.
I'm not sure but at one of the ramps I got stuck at the base of it. Maybe the colliders formed some kind of an edge and the player got stuck on it. That's my best guess.
This is amazing! How did you make this in 72 hours?!
That was really fun and had some great music but I think it would be better if the music didn't start over every time you died because it gets annoying to listen to the same part of the song over and over. Also The hit box was a little too big. I often got hit even when there was a big gap in between the object and the player. Otherwise that was a great game.
Nice game! A little hard though. If you could expand on this game that would be cool.
I liked the graphics and the sounds but the camera was too high up and I couldn't see the ground very well so I didn't know where I was falling.
Nice game. Very fun! The only thing for me was that there was no aimer for the gun. Other than that it was pretty good.
I loved your game art! Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to play your game :( It would have been nice to have a tutorial. Or you could have added more player feedback in game as to make it more obvious how to play.
Nice game! Unfortunately the collision was off and I could simply hold down space and streams of bullets would fire making it much easier to kill enemies. Other than that it was pretty cool!
It was a fun game but the fact that the beings could push and block the trash was kind of annoying. Other than that I enjoyed it.
Cool! Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how the wind worked so my fires burned out quite quickly.
The controls were a little strange and didn't work most of the time. But other than that I really liked it!
That was really cool! I liked that you could get the dinosaurs to mate giving you more chances to save them.
That was a really cool game! Unfortunately the window was too tall for my pc so I couldn't see the bottom part of the screen. Something I found confusing was that you had to pick up the fire that the enemies dropped when they died in order to replenish the fire but it would take away your health when you collided with it. Other than that good job.
Very cool game! I really enjoyed it!
Very cool game! I loved the graphical style and the music.
Cool game! I would love some sound effects though.
Cool game! I really enjoyed playing it!
Cool game! I really liked the art!
Cool game! I fun playing it. Unfortunately after a while it got too easy to defeat the dragons.
I love this game so much!
What tools did you use?
@mikoziq @fussenkuh @superunknown @daitli Web build is fixed! :smile:
The link 404ed
Cool game! I love the animations and it's fun to play.
This game is pretty awesome! I love the graphics and the music fits it prefectly.
Wow, nice job! What tools did you use?
Fun game. I liked the art style.
I love the graphics! It gives me atari vibes
This game is amazing! I think it has a pretty good chance of winning.
Nice game!
Nice game! I had a lot of fun with this one. fte-20210510064156-0.png
Cool game! A restart button would have been nice.
Nice Game! I really like the graphics!
I love this game! It's amazing how much you guys were able to do in such a short amount of time.
@no-grapes-games it had a bundled JRE.
@javier-belmer do you have java intalled?
@sneakylemon I fixed the collision bug for you.
Really liked the graphics! Nice job
Cool game. Interesting take on the Theme.
It doesn't fit on my screen. :(
page 404ed
Cool game! The player speed made it a bit frustrating though.
Interesting game. It was a bit confusing but I liked it.
I love the art!
yep
How did you make this in only 72 hours!?!? The graphics are amazing! The polish is insane. I can definitely see this game winning.
The atmosphere of this game was pretty good.
Very cool take on the theme! Had fun with this one.
Really impressed that you were able to make this in c++! The game was pretty fun. Pretty good Asteroids clone.
Great Game! The graphics are pretty cool and I love the fluid simulations.
The art is great!
Love it!
Love it!
Made it to wave 10! The difficulty curve is pretty dramatic. Really enjoyed the visuals!
Loved the graphics!
I liked the minimalist pixel art graphics. I had a similar style in my game.
Very cool game. The atmosphere was very dark. I liked the voice lines.
The graphics were stunning!
The game is great! First off I really like ragdolls. Second the music went really well with the game. Lastly the player is really fun to control.
Love the graphics!
Love it! It was very fun. Really impressive for just 48 hours.
Cool game idea. I really liked the graphics and the music was good.
I love the graphics!
This game is awesome! I love the art and the voice lines are very cute.
@david-york Oh yeah! I played your game!
@oadt Oh yeah that's a bug
@pixeltaku if you touch the tnt to the rocks blocking another section of the map (in the upper part of the map) it will explode and open up that section
Love it! The art is amazing!
Really like the game! The graphics style was very cool.
Pretty fun game! I think it would have been better if you had allowed player to aim with the mouse.
Pretty fun game! I think it would have been better if you had allowed player to aim with the mouse.
The graphics were breathtaking! I would have liked some kind of crosshair. Also I somehow fell out of the raft and fell into the abyss.
This game is very impressive especially since you made it in pygame! The graphics are amazing. Unfortunately the lollipop pickup animation felt a little clunky.
Nice job! I liked the explosions.
The music is great! I loved the player character!
I enjoyed playing this one! I found that is was very easy to avoid the enemies if you constantly moved in one direction.
I really liked the player character and the wall jump felt really nice. However it was really frustrating when I would fall right onto the snail which out of view.
The Link 404ed
Wow, this is amazing! The art is very cute!
The graphics were awesome!
Very cool that you used only java!
I like the art.
Wow this is really good! It's definitely better than my first jam. 😛
Graphics are great! The gnomes are really cute. Well done!
Interesting interpretation of the theme. The graphics were very nice. I would have liked some audio though.
Pretty solid entry. It was a little weird that the menu was a sort of pixel art style and the rest of the game was not.
This game is amazing! The art is good, the characters are adorable, the sound effects are on point, the music sounded great, and the ability to buy gifts for you family was a nice touch. Overall very solid game. I think it has a good shot at winning. The only thing I can really complain about is that the car felt very choppy when driving around.
Love the art and sound effects in this game! Unfortunately the game is not very challenging especially late in the game.
This game was super fun! I think I spent a little too much time playing it :sweat_smile: The music was amazing, the art was amazing, I loved the sound effects, and the atmosphere was very cozy. I really liked the risk reward system, and buying new birds was fun. The only thing was that it was a bit complicated and I didn't really understand how the penalties worked. Other than that great game!
The graphics are amazing but the bird is very frustrating to control.
Interesting interpretation of the theme. The visuals were good. I did have some trouble finding the gunpowder though
Overall pretty fun. I found it a little hard to be precise when aiming with the arrow keys. Aiming with the mouse would have been better. The text that shows up on the bottom of the screen after launching vans disappears a little too quickly. I really enjoyed ejecting packages to land on the houses as the van is shooting overhead. Pretty fun game.
@whizbang @caoslourenco it is possible to have employees selected at the same time.
I really enjoyed playing this one! It was a very innovative idea.
Pretty cool mechanic. However, I didn't like that you had to deliver multiple packages to the same building. I think delivering one would have been enough.
Pretty fun game. It was sort of difficult to find where I needed to deliver. Only knowing the direction wasn't enough information. Maybe knowing the distance to the destination would have helped.
I had a lot of fun playing this game. I really like Monogame so respect for making using it. I would have liked a custom mouse cursor or a laser pointer. The game started out a little too easy. I think it would be a cool idea if the zombie speed increased as the game went on to add an extra challenge. Other than that this is a pretty solid entry.
This game is absolutely incredible! I love the atmosphere and the graphics. It's really fun!
Fun game. I like the simplistic art style and the sound effects. Cool interpretation of the theme.
I love your interpretation of the theme!
Love the art and sound! It did get kind of boring after a while though.
Pretty fun game. It has a similar mechanic to mine.
@tarch if you stop shooting you are able to move faster and escape the enemies that are too close to shoot.
@daniel-grinshpon yeah i didn't have enough time to implement a restart feature :frowning2:
Very solid game. Loved the mood.
I'm confused. I like the art though
Love the mood for this one! The art fits together very nicely. I loved the story. The worm was kind of hard to notice at first.
I love pixel art 3D games. This was a fun one. The pacing was very good.
Very creepy game. I love the art and the writing. I got stuck though.
I like the mechanic of having to collect your bullet. However every other shot it would go flying super fast and was really hard to track down. I also didn't like that if I shot at the same moment enemies spawned, the bullet would almost always get completely swarmed by enemies and thus become unrecoverable. I also noticed that enemies don't spawn when I restart the game :stuck_out_tongue:. Other than that very solid and unique game.
Really fun game. The sounds started to break after I got a bunch of upgrades. It's a very fun idea (and sort of relatable from the taxpayer perspective :stuck_out_tongue:). It's a bit concerning how much I enjoyed the homeless cannon.
Fun game. Simple to play and satisfying. I loved the animations!
Cool little game. I love the art style. The controls were a bit frustrating at times especially when the player was fast. The coins would sometimes duplicate visually or clip through a wall. Overall pretty good though.
Nice game. It would have been more fun if the snake was faster though. Also the cube should have sharp edges so that you can change directions immediately when you switch to another face of the cube instead of having to wait.
@skylone Didn't have time to add a second animation and character design.
@pandalk I love that game! Definitely inspired us a little bit.
Cool game. However my whenever I stopped pressing E my mouse would lock properly and I would mouse off the game window. Also some of the bugs got stuck in the table and I couldn't collect them.
Not a huge fan of card games but I enjoyed this one (even though I was a little confused). The art was very good.
Solid game. The part where you had to match the keys was a little fast. I enjoyed the causes of death.
The spaceship is kind of annoying to control but I still had fun playing it.
Cute game. The controls felt pretty good. I did get stuck in the bottom level though and there was no obvious way to get out.
It became very hard to doge towards the end but maybe I'm just bad. I love the quack in the music and the art. I enjoyed this one.
Link 404s. I'm guessing you have access restricted on your itch page? Or it's still a draft?
Interesting game. It was really easy to get disorientated though. The first jump scare got me lol.
Really fun game. Mine had a similar concept but a very different approach. The animations are great!
