Orbits by tuism 2017-12-09T09:34:15Z

What makes this entry great is the esthetics, mood and look. Great work there! Really enjoy the particle effects and the trail renderers. One tiny complaint (and maybe a personal opinion) is that the lighting and shadows doesn't fit the space setting. I think that you also utilize Unity's built in features well, for example the use of time and time scale. When it comes to game play it is nice and simple, and also fits well with the theme. However, I feel like it is lacking something. I would experiment and play around with ways that the player can affect the asteroids and their courses. Overall though, like everyone else here is saying, great entry and game! Would like to see this game be continued and released for touch devices.

Save the Plants by joski 2017-12-05T20:12:15Z

Really nice idea and well executed! Was a little too hard for me (after so little sleep developing our game), but still a ton of fun :)

Don't Sink by alvinasiaten 2017-12-09T10:05:23Z

The art is what makes this game shine. Overall I think that this game got potential. The core mechanic could be really interesting, if you would add some twists to it. The UI is in the way when trying to spot the canon balls, so moving the UI to either the left or right side could improve the experience a lot. I also want some feedback on when I get hit by a canon ball. The canon ball seems to hit me even though it shouldn't, which gets very frustrating. All the things I mention are things that just need polish and more time, after that the game has the potential to be great. Really nice effort!

PS. The boat is going REALLY fast :D

The Will of the Wisps by adsilcott 2017-12-08T19:36:13Z

Great atmosphere, mood and graphics! The animations also adds a lot to the experience. Simple and great game mechanics. Like the clever way of exposing the environment further the more fireflies you catch. The only minior minuses are that the controls seems a little off and that the rendering of the bush tiles where a little glitchy. Overall great job though!

Make Ludum Dare Great Again by ultimategrinder 2017-12-06T22:34:19Z

This is a fun little idea. Graphics and game play wise really nicely executed. It is pretty hard to aim, would be nice to have a wider splash area. It would be really cool if there were different coffee shooters, like a latte bazzoka, mocha grenades, etc. The UI needs some more work. Overall a fun game that is following the theme.

Pigeon by RIBOUT Horace 2017-12-09T09:52:04Z

The main idea of this game is pretty neat and I feel that the mood of the game is what makes it good. It follows the theme quiet nicely. Where the game needs more polish and work is the game mechanics. The gameplay is pretty flat and not very interesting. Maybe it would become a more fun experience if you could interact with the other pigeons. For example it wouldn't it be pretty awesome if you could tackle or get tackled by douche bag pigeons? Overall I think you did a great job though, you should be proud that you finished a game during the jam. A big plus for actually styling the Unity WebGL site (that is something that I will look into myself)!

Just Another Day by DraperDanMan 2017-12-06T21:54:14Z

Really think this is a great idea! Nice job! You have made some really clever and funny conversations. The graphics are also pretty nice. I would like to see even more variations of calls. Sometimes I get the same call as before (sometimes even twice in a row), which is not that great. I also think that a UI would be handy. You succeeded with the most important task of the jam, to design wise make an interesting game / prototype.

IDEA! by BetaNab99 2017-12-05T20:18:24Z

Nice try! However, I feel like the controls are not that great and the mechanics are not really doing it for me. Maybe it would be more interesting if a new mechanic was introduced?

Vacuum Platformer by kierkle 2017-12-05T20:06:20Z

Really nice effort! Great job putting it all together. I unfortunately find that the game mechanic is not that fun at the moment. Maybe it would be more interesting if a new mechanic was introduced complementing the current?

Where ma Friends at?! by Sabuzri 2017-12-08T18:58:54Z

Compelling art and visuals! The shader for the characters is really nice. Like others have said, the game is interpreting the theme really well. The simplicity of the game mechanic is great. However, I feel like there is something lacking game play wise. Anyways, great effort! :)

Greedy Merchants by jlreymendez 2017-12-06T21:23:42Z

Great game! Overall this is a really nice concept and a neat little prototype. The setting and atmosphere is also really compelling. The game is also nailing the theme, The core game mechanic of the game is pretty solid. Where the game needs some more work is in the design aspects. Some more tweaking of different properties in the game could have made it more balanced and therefore more enjoyable to play. The design part is hard, especially when it is a jam game so I understand that you didn't have time to polish. I feel like the UI could need some more work as well. However, overall a really good job!

The more you baby... by Tomáš Selmeci 2017-12-06T21:33:29Z

Haha, a really funny idea. I made it to 6 babies, like Steven :P I think that if you would develop the idea and design further that it actually could have been a great experience. Now however, I feel like the mechanic is too repetitive. The hard party is actually to scroll the camera so that you can see all the babies. If you ask me it would be preferable to see all the babies all the time. It would also be interesting to play around with different mechanics to give the babies their needs, it gets to repetitive and boring to just click. Overall a funny idea that got potential, but that is lacking in design and polish.

Squire by mambojambo 2017-12-10T10:26:23Z

Like @tacohej said, thanks for all the great feedback and comments! If we decide to continue the development of this concept we will consider many of your suggestions ❤️

@ribout-horace Sorry about the archer’s manners. I guess it is too hard to resist a taco when offered.

@yomalolo Thanks! You didn’t reach the end? You definitely should give it another try. There is a secret reward at the end… maybe taco related.

@joror Campfires, more enemies and side quests sounds awesome. We would love to add that!

Pole Volt by tacohej 2018-08-18T10:19:40Z

@ekilibr Thanks for the feedback and for playing. I think that we could have done a better job explaining how the mechanics worked (without putting a huge block of text in your face).

@hyprgloo Thanks for that comment! :) Like I stated above, we should have explained things in a little more intuitive way. 54,566 is a nice score!

@rob-parker @honey Thanks <3

Dumpotopia by DjeyCreations 2018-08-16T20:17:27Z

Great entry! I think the graphics are great and it plays very nicely for being a jam game (UI transitions and stuff seems smooth). Not that innovative of an idea when it comes to game play, but I think that the graphics, message of the game and the execution makes up for it.

Feedrun by WFMG 2018-08-16T20:12:29Z

Nice entry and I dig the concept! I think that unfortunately it lacked on execution of the game design. What I mean by that is that the controls and user experience (the UI for example) is a not as polished as I would like. It also seems to be a little buggy at time (I got stuck in doggo mode and couldn't break out from it). I think with some practice in game design and more a robust bulld this idea could have been really interesting. Keep up the work!

Carter's Crates by Diego Escalante 2018-08-18T15:30:05Z

NIce entry! Really like it :)

Dementia by Kjetil 2018-08-18T16:05:39Z

Like the rest are saying, this game looks really beautiful! When suggestions though would be to turn down the motion blur a little bit. Gameplay wise I feel like there is something lacking, but I think it is hard to accomplish something really immersive and interesting in the amount of time and with your scope. I really like the mood of the game and like the world that you have created. Great job!

H E R D by King Kujito 2018-12-07T08:19:45Z

Cute little game and the visuals are pretty nice. Think that you could have worked a little bit more on the game mechanic. Maybe it would have beed more fun if the sheeps where actually following a path and you had to prevent the wolf from doing stuff to the sheep. Nice effort overall though!

Pyrrhic Victory by Kroute 2018-12-10T22:01:14Z

I did beat the hard AI 😃Great entry! Really liked the mood of the game.

Saving Oskar by markusfisch 2018-12-06T22:15:05Z

Great scope for a jam game! As others are saying, cute graphics! Thought that there could have been something added to the core game mechanic though, maybe it would have been more interesting if the guards where patrolling the map?

Serial Dater by ColeSlaughter 2018-12-07T08:09:01Z

Great entry! Like others have side great effort with creating variations into the game. Graphics are nice and I really think you found the right mood for the game.

As a side note it is kind of funny that you get a score from just not picking a serial killer :laughing:

Power Down by tayl1r 2018-12-04T21:40:02Z

Great entry! I really think that the level design is great :ok_hand: The graphics are also working very well! Awesome job overall and impressive that you finished doing all this during the jam.

Some feedback:I would have liked some feedback like sound when taking damage from the acid (I think the lack is due to the time constraint though). I also would have liked the audio / sound in the game to be at the same level as the rest. Lastly, even though it is a great entry I think that honestly it lacks a little bit when it comes to innovation.

KingGame by staxx6 2018-12-04T21:51:31Z

Cool entry! Like the idea and the concept a lot. However, I think there are some issues with how the controls are implemented which makes it frustrating to play the game (it feels like you are working against the controls). The game itself seems a bit buggy as well (some minior issues here and there). Overall, a big plus for trying to doing something really cool and innovative, minus for the implementation (and maybe the reason for the shaky parts were due to the time constraint). Thanks!

It is tired by Narudgi 2020-04-29T18:43:07Z

Really like the atmosphere, mood and music of this game. The scope of the game mechanics is small, but well executed, which is want you want from a jam game. Like some others have pointed out, it's possible to kick out bombs from the plattform, which I think is quite fun (even though it was not intended from your side). If you are going to continue developing this game I would suggest explore the kicking of items further. To take it even further, I could imagine this being a multiplayer game where players kick bombs and tries to keep alive for as long as possible.

Healer of Elric by FancyReckless 2020-04-29T19:23:52Z

Cool concept! Really enjoyed playing the game.

Moo Problems 2021 by owl and jackalope 2020-04-29T18:52:30Z

The in game music is epic! You get really excited when you hear that jam :D the game itself is nice! Maybe it's just me, but that music and the fair amount of mechanics / controls made it hard to learn, it took a couple of tries. Communicating controls / mechanics is hard though, especially in a jam. Overall, great entry, you should be proud!

Lifeline by mlkvr 2020-04-29T19:14:22Z

Yey, I won! 🙌 I think the url with the .aspx extension is a really funny detail. Great entry overall.

Levain - My needy friend by Karas 2020-04-29T19:06:15Z

Ye boi! Nice game! Really like the concept and the music. One thing I would suggest is that it feel unintuitive that you don't pick up an item directly from the shelf and that items instead drop from the shelf when you interact with it. Other than that, great entry!

Stealth Racer by Predominant 2018-05-10T21:10:17Z

Great concept but I think there is room for improvements. Feels like the cops attention radius was a little weird and resulted in that I unexpectedly got noticed / chased. It would also be really cool if there were buildings, so that you could hide behind them.

Question: Is there a way to shake off the cops once they have spotted you?

Football Horror by wdebowicz 2018-05-09T20:43:51Z

Fun little game! Think there should be some other game mechanic though to kill the zomibes. However, overall a nice entry!

Hitler Groove by nikincz 2018-05-10T21:18:34Z

When I first read the instructions for the game I thought it could be pretty interesting, but I got a little bit disappointed. Don't really feel like it is a mic between genres, more like a skin for a DDR clone. I also feel like there should have been some better feedback to the player when hitting the arrows while playing a song. Was also hoping for seeing the leaders actually dance :P

Mortal by deathray 2018-05-10T20:44:21Z

Haha love that you get a cane at the age of 40 and then you stay the same until you are 70 years! Simple game, but follows the theme. Would like to see something extra though because of the simple game play.

Shelter by guckstift 2018-05-09T20:32:15Z

Great concept! The controls are the weakest point of this game, but if you would figure those out this could be really interesting. Good job :)

Dungeon Kart by Nikolaj 2018-05-09T20:50:17Z

Fun little jam game! The core concept is really great. Really dig the music (although simple). Think that the controls needs some work and adding some more features would be key to make it a good full game. Great job :)

Keyboard Army by PeachTreeOath 2018-05-07T19:53:02Z

Yea! Really great work! I really like what you did with the theme. The sound track is great :)

The King's League by frozenfire92 2018-05-10T20:55:07Z

Good job! Feels like there are a lot of things that needs some work though. The controls feels a little weird (movement) and the AI is too dumb making it too easy. Think that this could have potential, but some core parts of the game are lacking so for the player it is not that great of an experience. Maybe it was too big of a scope for a jam? Don't take my feedback the wrong way though, keep up the work and maybe some of my feedback can help you in your next game :)

Frogger: The Jigsaw by loveapplegames 2018-05-09T20:40:22Z

Really enjoyed this! Great prototype! Like how you have to keep track of the frog and try to figure out the next piece at the same time. Some feedback, not sure if the fireballs are needed or what they add to the game play. Great entry folks!

Crafty by Brackeys 2018-05-07T19:24:13Z

Great concept! I like the humor and the graphics :) I think the controls would need some more work (kind of annoying to drag and drop items). Maybe a possibility to use keys would help. Would also like if there were some other mechanic in the game since it gets pretty repetitive. Overall a good entry and well done!

Get Out Of My Dungeon by biobazard 2018-05-11T05:56:09Z

This is great! A simple little game, but still really enjoyable. I'm impressed that you managed to make something as polished as this during the jam :)

Space Garden by AndrewChewie 2018-05-10T21:00:01Z

Good entry! I really like the graphics and the look of the game :)

Locobe by krunoslav 2018-05-10T21:43:47Z

Simplistic yet fun idea! Very retro look and feel. Great job

Cropping Up by AugusteTheClown 2018-05-10T21:37:02Z

Fun game and great idea!

Hangover Kitchen by Lewis Quaife 2018-04-24T19:22:20Z

Funny little game! Great job.

CarD^2riving by Derek Brouwer 2018-05-10T20:38:05Z

Great idea! Was a little confused about the cards and what they were doing (maybe just me not getting it). Seems like I also managed to make the car turn 45 degrees instead of 90 (bug?). Overall, great job and with a little more time put into it it could be an interesting game :)

Undercover Crop by Flunph 2018-05-10T21:24:58Z

Funny idea! Needs some improvements though: controls are a little wonky, animations on the character would have been great and feedback to the player when planting a seed would be nice.

Wheels On Feels by mambojambo 2018-05-11T05:50:13Z

We know that there ar issues with the controls. Seems like the steering sensitivity is different for different platforms. For example, Win version seems to much closer to the Unity Editor version then Mac (that has some weird issues with Time.timeScale) and also FireFox seems to run the WebGL version much better then Chrome.

@peter-jonsson Thanks and great idea with the surfaces!

@peachtreeoath Thanks for the feedback and I totally agree. I agree checkpoints would have been great and also making the level much easier in the beginning. It is also kind of sad that we didn't realize the steering issue until we build the game (worked great in the Unity Editor) - but hey it is better to make that mistake in a jam rather then in a full game.

@ramon15749 Thanks and yes we agree about the controls!

Tour de France Legstrong by Freebo 2018-05-10T20:32:09Z

Ahhh my fingers!! The controls are pretty weird, but in a good way :P This was a really nice experience and a great concept. Would love to see some more features and levels. Some suggestions: hearts to pick up that increases health, different / more interesting levels and maybe some AI to compete against. You should consider making it a full game (maybe adopt to mobile).

Do You Even Build, Bro? by HarveyU 2018-05-10T21:04:24Z

Really like that you did local multiplayer! :) Fun little game! Great job.

FoodCraft by Nathan Grasset 2018-04-24T19:14:43Z

Great idea! I really dig the music. However, I feel like you were maybe a little too ambitious with this scope. It's really unintuitive what to do and the feedback to the player could be better. Not sure if it is me, but it feels like some features are broken? (Not sure if I served any food for example). I'm sure that if you got more time this would have been a really delicious experience.

GlowWorms by Chormacorple27 2018-04-24T18:31:23Z

I really enjoyed the concept and playing this interactive story. Well written :) Would love if there were some visuals included, but I get it that you needed to focus on the story and the different paths. Great work!

Love is a four letter word by tyen 2018-05-10T21:31:55Z

Nice idea and execution! Think that the combination wasn't for me though. I either like to follow a story and focus on that (instead of typing) or like in a typical typing game get a sense of hurry. Great execution though.

Pipe Warrior, Mech Dream by Aerynus 2018-05-11T06:15:27Z

Great concept and game! I actually enjoyed it a lot. Like others are saying it is a bit too step learning curve. I also think that a tutorial would be nice of some kind.

Adventure Pong by TomPK7 2018-05-11T06:05:20Z

I thought this was super enjoyable! The lines in game really got you into the match and it feels like they were pretty well written! Good job :)
