Really nice game and I really like the art work. It would be a great game for mobiles! ;)
Great art work, story and music, you should continue on making more maps!
Awesome! Really nice, but quite hard game.
Cool game! Also the art is great
Great artwork, music and idea (y)
Really nice platformer, cool graphics and I like the concept as well. Good job.
Amazing! So well done, the graphics are great, the audio, and the idea as well. Also it follows the theme. Good job.
Interesting game, I love that it has the tutorial to make it easy to for player to figure out the controls and the AI, but it is kinda short unfortunately.
The art and music is great, though it would be nice to see something like a progress bar.
Amazing, the graphics are just great and I think that you should have allowed for audio to be rated, because the song and the effects are cool as well. Though maybe a "how to play" in menu would be really nice touch. Good job!
Really cool game. The art and music is just great and it was fun to run the game through. Although it didn't really "used" the theme.
Great idea and fun to play. The graphics are just amazing and it's concept like non before!
Cool game, the graphics are just amazing and the game is fun as well. But maybe I would have made the ship a quicker and but there less meteorites and movement for enemies. But otherwise it is really nice game.
Amazing!!! And the Bieber gun is really funny idea.
Great graphics, great sounds/music, but gets a bit boring and monotone after a while. But really cool game anyway.
.JAR: http://www.mediafire.com/download/i2zgfb7r407bfcv/MechanicalDefender_LD32.jar
I included this .jar file, because some people had problems with running the .exe file (probably problem in converting). I'll hopefully fix the .exe soon.
@rogberth No, unfortunately it doesn't have an ending it just keeps on getting harder and harder by time, so the goal is to get highest score. Also I hope you got to the boss fights, not a lot of people get to them. Thank you for playing.
@Victor RENE Thank you very much, I really appreciate that you like the music, because I'm not musician and you are of course right on the goal for the game, next time I'll try to make a game with a goal. And on the Att1 topic, it is probably harder to use it, but it has its cons like consuming less power, more dmg, but most people might find it useless. Thank you again for your review.
@taviandir That is unfortunate, I didn't have a lot of time for testing, but that isn't an excuse. And yes attack 2 does something, it fires a fist on chain or if you thought the other attack it swipes the enemy and if you don't hit him you can still see the swipe art but if it hits it disappears. Thanks for trying out the game.
@Langouste Thank you very much, this really makes me happy that you like it :)
Concept is nice art as well, though it is so hard to survive a longer than few seconds because the enemies are fast, screen is small and not a lot of space for maneuvering, well if it wasn't made this hard on purpose. Also a restart button would be nice. But good job anyway.
Really cool game, nice sound effects and I'm also a big fan of these old school low res games even though that makes it a bit harder to aim. Good job.
Really unique game, the music is awesome and it is also fun to play, but gets repetitive after some shots.
Amazing, great art and idea. Good job!
Really cool, but more of a movie than a game, but still awesome and funny ;)
Cool graphics and the music (you should have allowed audio ratings you could have gotten a great score there), but the controls are a bit wonky - arrows are too sensitive I'd say. But still a cool game which would really suit something like android more than web ;)
Simply AMAZING!
Really nice game and I mostly like the AI of the enemies and also of the zombies, I would thought they would be only standing on one place and waiting for enemies to come to them, but them chasing the nearby enemies and then coming back is really nice feature.
Pretty decent game, nice shadow effects and idea. But it is really hard to know when you can go, because sometimes you don't see the people, but they see you also it might be better if you could see their FoV so you would know which way are they looking
Cool idea, but it gets a bit repetitive after few turns. Also really cool ASCII styling.
Really cool game, but mostly the idea! There's not much else to say that other people already did not. Good job!
Amazing art and sound effects!
Really fun to play, but gets a bit repetitive after few rounds otherwise it's an amazing game, great graphics, effects, sounds/music and that you can see your global rank is a very nice idea.
Amazing game, great art and mechanics. If the game would have a map and it wouldn't be an arena, then it would be the ultimate game :D But I totally get that it would be impossible in 48 hrs none the less it is a great game!
Really cool to see a Twitch game on LD. Good job.
xgenovanni: You need at least 5 sticks placed in the campfire, 3 sticks in your inventory and at least 21 hunger points to start a fire with sticks ;) (but the character should tell you what is wrong, if he's not talking about something different) ;)
Also trees don't give you dialog all the time (it is random).
Also I was trying to fix the bug with tooltips/inventories, but I ran out of time, so sorry for that.
The bug is fixed.
@inbetweengames you probably need to upgrade your JRE to JRE 8. That seemed to help most people having problem with it, or it might have been your antivirus, they don't really like unknown internet applications and you might have not noticed anything if you turned off the notifications.
Fun little mobile-like game. Also surprised me how hard it is to destroy the whole city, the cops get you quickly.
Interesting idea, but it is quite hard to even see what is he telling because of the black on dark blue and also the font is really small. Also because of there not being any visible objective, the game will get boring after a few minutes. But as I said, cool idea.
Great looking and fun game, it gets little bit repetitive after while, but I still had fun even in the last wave I also like that bard at the start and the music. Really nice game!
Really cool idea. Nice game.
The graphics are really nice and cool sfx. It's a bit sad, that you weren't able to finish it, it could have been really fun.
PS: Norton blocked the game for me as well, but if it happens to anyone, just click the message and then click "restore" (small text on bottom) ;)
Pretty simple, but nice game, really like those jumping effects and mostly the acceleration when you go down.
Great game, really cool and unique art style and awesome audio. Only thing I don't really like is the combat, it is so hard to kill the enemies. Also I'm not sure if that is a bug, but if I don't follow the path directly I get less enemy spawns ;)
Cool game, quite difficult. One thing that seemed a bit weird are the physics, the falling takes quite some time, which makes it way harder, but I really like that you can block other projectiles.
Cool game, nice graphics and idea!
Cool game
The link does not work (at least for me) :/
Cool little game!
For those having problems with Norton, just open Norton click the little arrow go to advanced and turn off auto-protect for at least 15 minutes.
Lovely game, great music and graphics, only thing that bothered me sometimes was the rendering order. But I finished the game, well as a mammoth widow :D Well done guys!
Cool game, but honestly shooting is quite tricky and I enjoyed flying around way more, because of the cool helicopter controls :D
Interesting little game witch nice graphics (I really like those colors). But the thing I don't really like is the range on the weapon and in that case almost no chance to not get hit by enemies while hitting them and also not being able to see the HP of player.
Cool game, fun as well only thing I didn't really like was that you have to be in precise Y position to hit someone and that I wasn't able to see my HP, but otherwise really nice looking and fun/funny game!
Cool game.
Nice game, love the music!
Nice game!
I love the art and the music, though quite unfortunate was that until those guys with deflector shield came I could have just sat at the spawn and not move at all, because the moving and not being able to stop makes it really hard to destroy the enemies. But nice game nonetheless.
Nice game, also the music really got me :D
Great art, great music, great game!
Great job, Code! Really cool and quite complex for LD entry ;) Also nice music.
Beautiful game, really well made and you should totally continue in developing it, it was really fun to play and I totally forgot about time with how much I was into it :D If you were to add more crafting and goals, maybe even hunting I would actually buy that game. Good job!
Really good game, I love the upgrades and the different enemies, also the effects were really nice. Good job!
This game is just amazing I was really surprised when I found out that this is not Jam, but compo, really well done, I played a lot of it and enjoyed it.
@Zetym, you can mouseover an item to see information about it. The yellow gun was a taser, it gives you more DMG, but stuns you if you miss (so not the best pick for gunner)
@WastelandDan, damn that sucks, you could also try running the .jar file ;)
Simple but fun. Though I'm not the biggest fun of the blurry pixel art (if that was intentional)
Really addicting game. Lots of fun.
Really cool idea, but I unfortunately did not not have a second player, so AI would be much appreciated.
I agree with the comments, the game's got a great concept, but it is way to hard to line up the speed properly, I did not get far :D
Really nice game, I've encountered a few bugs (not an intentional joke), but I cannot blame you for that. Good job, I enjoyed playing it!
Interesting game, but I feel like it is way too short and easy to win.
Nice graphics and I really liked the idea, but I would really appreciate more options, mostly those that makes you risk your money or go with safe, but pricey option to make me more think in the game and to make me loose some money, because after some time I got so much money, that I did not really care for what I was clicking. But it is still a great game, thumb up for it!
I love the idea, quite unique puzzle game. Good job!
Top notch game! I totally loved it, was really fun to play and the graphics were really good as well. Maybe 1 little thing that I didn't really like was the difficulty, it was way too easy (but maybe got harder, dunno, I accidentally pressed ESC :( But might give it 1 more try later)!
Cool idea, but it's really hard to get used to the controls so I died pretty quickly most of the times.
The web version is not playable, I have like 1 FPS. But the PC version works, just fine, cool game, harder than I thought
Overall just an amazing game, so well done!
Amazing game, so well made. But for me it might have been a bit too gruesome, luckily I already ate. The controls were very unique and there were lots of content in it. Also graphics were amazing and music as well. Overall really well done!
Simple, yet fun game, also the sounds/music is great and I really liked the water physics (and the way how the sheep jump into it). Pretty good outcome for <12 hrs and the theme not fitting you!
Nice, atmospheric, but it was just way too short
Kudanman, thank you and yes, sure, you can use it ;)
@Freank, sure thing, would also love to see it when it comes out ;)
I really enjoyed playing this game and it surly partially is because I generally enjoy these types of games, but this one was really well made and I actually like a lot the screen size and how everything is compact in it, well done!
Amazing game, had so much fun playing it. The levels were challenging, idea was unique and the graphics were cool as well. Good job! (also I like the Wilhelm scream in there, gotta put it in some of my future games as well)
Nice game!
Interesting game, but the double jumps felt too wonky (and the camera shake on it) also it was hard to hit the enemies without getting hit back many times
Cool idea, but the game seem to be very easy and kinda missing a goal, so I stopped pretty quickly. Good job nonetheless (also the jokes were nice)
Nice Idea I also like the log (come in handy when you missed some text). Good job
Really nice game! Good job
Cool idea, but I feel like it might not be the best for LD, because lot of ppl won't wait I feel like, I actually did, but was doing other stuff on my 2nd monitor, which is not the best imo. It is quite atmospheric, but some nice quite music in the background would be really nice addition, also if it was not for the comments I would probably end the game in first few minutes. Anyhow, nice idea, original and the animations are cool as well, but might be relaying on the imagination and patience way too much, maybe some other actions happening in there like having the character from when he/she was young and then ppl leaving the house and graves appearing under the tree, season changing, birds flying by might make it lot better. Good job though.
Nice game and quite unique with not being able to actually fight the enemies. Also it is really hard, so I got frustrated so quickly :D. Great job!
Nice game, also great and unique soundtrack!
Really well made, only thing I would change is probably the rating, it seems way too easy to get all 3 stars. Big thumb up
Nice idea, nice simple art and music - good job
Nice game, little bit short and maybe a bit easy, but the idea is cool and the graphics as well.
Really cool puzzle game, makes you think a lot! good job
great atmosphere, but the controls are bit painful
Nice little platformer, i like the art (not much the font though) was even a bit funny, but the platforming didn't seem to get harder. Cool game anyway
Cool little game, nice art most of all, but gets bit repetitive after some time
Really cool idea to make game like this. Unfortunately I don't have anyone rn to play this with, but seems like a fun. Just one thing I would like to see as well would be some special items/power-ups and/or blocking. Good job
Really nice little game! Great job!
Nice game, cool effect, sound was well recorded and was even a bit funny. If I were to pick something bad about it, it would probably be the UI and that the music was sometimes louder than the voice, otherwise, pretty cool!
Pretty solid game, also nice idea
Nice idea and cool art, but I had some issues with the physics sometimes (was stuck/no way to shoot an enemy...). Good job though
Nice game, love that art, but I had a problem, where I got to cooking (for 2nd time), but it froze, the timer and me pressing space did nothing. But cool game otherwise!
Really fun game! I enjoyed playing it a lot! GJ
nice gfx style and overlay
Nice game, the art is nice and I love the music and sfx! Also I thought it will be really easy, but in fact it was quite difficult after some time. Just one thing I would like to see is more enemies or drone time. Good job!
Damn this game is pretty hard, every mistake counts (5k was my best). Good job
Quite simple, but I like the idea, also the pixel art is nice.
Nice game, the art is great (love the saturation that adds a lot to the whole feel of the game). Also the music/sounds were quite nice for compo entry. And having the start screen with loading text (story) and the music it has adds so much to the game. Oh also it is pretty hard to figure out the puzzles. Good job!
Overall just an amazing entry! The graphics are simple but nice, the music is ambient and not distracting and the combat is unique and fun. Also the tutorial is really well done and complex! Only flaw might be, that you made it a bit more complicated and Im worried that lot of people will just click quickly through the tutorial and will end up lost in the game! But from me a big thumb up! Great job!
Oh and also, you commented on my game (thanks for that) and you said to tell you when I fix the bug it had - so I finally had some time and fixed it (sorry it took so long). Cheers
The concept is pretty nice and unique, but the execution would need some more work. Not just adding more animals, but also make it more interesting add some animations and like screen warning for stuff like when animal is going extinct or animation for when there is a tornado and probably something to keep the player going, not just seeing the animal count going up, but also getting new species in the process. I think if you would have more time and knowledge (as you said) this could have been a really solid entry! Good job though!
I like that you took a new path and tried to make something unique, which this was, but didnt feel too much like a game, which I supposed it shouldnt(?). I also like the way you tried to make it feel "artsy" which it was - the background and the piano music - but it was kind of broken by the 3D models made the way they were, it would have been lot better for the rain to be drawn and the fishes, fisherman and bottle as well. Also the ending screen was bit odd (seemed like you were only trying if you could make that cube rotate - didnt see a reason for it to be there) Well anyhow nice job and thumb up for taking a new approach.
Nice music and cool idea, good job.
When I first opened it my first words were "this looks so cool" and it surly does even in the game - I love those graphics and animations, so well done. The idea is quite simple but cool and fun and finished, it's a bit hard to kill the birds, mainly because of the controls, so maybe if there was shooting with mouse it would be better, but then it maybe would be too easy. Great job overall!
Cool game! First of all I would like to say, that I glad to see some more devs using Java and making their own engines as well and have to give you a big thumb up for the particle effects I really like those and know how hard it is to make a good ones.
I quite like the game, it was simple but fun, the controls were a bit wonky and by that I mean the way the ship flew and also I found an exploit where I just was spamming the fire and never got hit, so maybe that could be fixed with making a longer cooldown on firing. Also one more thing I would like to point out is that it would be better if the enemies spawned right away after the 1st one died, cause there were a lot of time where nothing was happening and I was just waiting for the correct distance to get an enemy.
But overall it is a nice entry...Oh also the music and sound effects were nice as well! Good job!
Really cool game. there were others quite similar, but this one was the best one I played so far. Nice graphics, cool features, like the soil. Yet still after some time it became a spam game for me, but that might be just because this is not really my type of game and I would need something really unique to keep me playing. But as I said, really good game! Great job
Cool game, but pretty hard, would be nice if there were some kind of checkpoints or similar stuff. Also the character kind of slides on the material which makes it really hard to control. Good job though.
Good models, physics and idea/concept. But wasnt really my type of game...not much happening and in the end I ended up just sabotaging it all and pushing other jets of the board :D But it is a good entry! Nice job
Really nice game, love that VR vibe and the effects (reminds me of Kung Fury or Hotline miami) - the game is bit short, but its fun and has nice sfx and music. So overall a really good job!
For anyone reading this - The bug has been fixed, it should be fine now! Thanks for playing and rating!
@sgadrat Just a normal item, seems like I forgot to change it so he doesn't drop items :D
Love the graphics and the idea. But the game seems to be bit hard for me
This was so cool, love the story, the graphics (and the way there was the minimap and also the full map), nice ambient music, there were also some jokes and really cool twist at the end! Good job!
Really cool game... The art is nice and the fact that it is played on twitch makes it even better. It seems to work really well and is fun to join in. And I even managed to win a battle with smaller army :D. Great job overall! Also I feel like they should really make category on Twitch just for games like this, cause it is fun to play.
The concept is great, art and music as well, but the gameplay seems to lack something. Dont get me wrong it is cool and all, but gets boring after while also the controls are so damn hard I get something done most of the times only by luck. But great job anyway!
Cool idea. The game is fun and I like the music and the dialogue, but I had some problems. The UI started to mess up after few minutes (there were buttons stuck on the screen) and for some reasons all the the buildings disappeared after i clicked on the dialogue message (I suppose that the sell button was stuck there and was activated for all the building). But other than that it was nice.
Cool game, nice graphics/animations and sfx. I like how unique it is, but the combat is a bit too hard (getting the correct position to hit the enemies). Good job
I love really small res pixel art/games so this one was just for me! You did really nice job with the graphics for what you had - mostly with the UI (it is not clustered). The game is a bit slow though (lots of waiting) also it would be nice if there was some kind of threat or something that would make you lose so you would have to play around it. Oh also tutorial would be really nice, cause it takes some time to figure the game out. Good job overall!
This is such a cool idea! The graphics are nice, the music and sfx as well, and just smashing the people by itself is so satisfying
Nice game, was bit short and not hard to win, but I didnt get bored after first 2 minutes which is always good.
I like the game, I finished it and quite enjoyed it. But it felt a bit empty
**What I liked:** - The art - That I could help the villagers with mining - The whole feel of the game (building a village) - Possibility to chat with villagers
**What could be better:** - More resources - Make villagers more useful - I felt like there was no need for having more than 6 villagers - The ending was a bit plain
Overall nice entry, simple but fun, really reminds me of games like Ikariam/Travian
This game is all about the aesthetics I would say, the art is amazing (love the comic at the start) and the music as well, but the gameplay is the weaker side of the game. It is the usual shooter game with nothing too unique (you should add something more unique to it if you want to make it a full game I think) and also there were some bugs, like enemies shooting after being dead or animations not being executed properly. But otherwise it is a really nice game and as I said the art and music are so well done, same as the world design. Good job guys
I love the idea. It is really fun and would be probably be even more fun against a real player. Good job (also with the sfx and music)
Great graphics and effects, unique gameplay and game overall. Was bit short and there ofc wasnt much to play or do badly in here, so maybe it would be cool if there was maybe more decisions and therefore different endings. Good job and thumb up for going a different path!
Simple graphics, but fun to play even though it is pretty hard. The sound effects and the music is nice and overall concept is promising and quite unique. I would say that you did a nice job here!
Im a fan of low poly art and you did pretty good job with yours. The overall graphics and animation feel was pretty nice. If there was some good ambient music it would have been even better.
The concept is pretty good, but it would have been a better if you utilized more the planet rotation action, it felt like if the game was on 2D word there wouldn't be much more difference. But maybe that changed later in the game, but I stopped playing after some time cause I got 2 crashes and I didnt feel like replaying it all over again.
There is the crash message - it happened after I selected both players and right clicked instead of left clicked https://i.gyazo.com/0f760cb8b71d15b102e0ef5f48c12fda.png
Other than that the games looks nice and well thought through. Good job!
Interesting idea, and nice music. Also with that name I was expecting it to be a parody on the book 2001, which would be cool as well :D
Really cool game, played it till the end and had fun. Nice graphics and audio and in fact I also liked that the levels weren't that difficult. Great job!
I would like to start by saying that I really like the concept, the overall idea is pretty cool!
The graphics were okay, there was not much of the of course so there is as well not much to say about it, but you did a good job with the book, I like that the tutorial was actually me reading a manual (and it included jokes, which is a big plus (from me at least)).
The music was nice, it was fitting and wasn't distracting at all and the sound effects were a bit "funny", but I guess you aimed for that feel (judging because also from the text in the book).
One thing I didn't really like, was speed of the game. It was a bit slow for me, but nothing too bad.
So yeah, overall a nice entry! Good job!
PS: You commented and rated my game (so thanks for that), but there was a bug and you said that you would like to see more of it, so if you want you can now, I fixed the bug. Cheers!
The music is just amazing and the UI as well. The overall concept is appealing to me, but there could be some stuff done differently, so it isnt always the same which is how it kinda feels right now, but still is cool. Would love to see more of this in some post compo version where is has more features. Great job!
As it was said here before, not sure if this could be called a game, but it is nice relaxing interactive project, that is for sure. Maybe one thing that would make this more relaxing would be some nice ambient music.
Nice game, played it for quite some time, but I wasn't any good at it. The depth perception is quite tricky in this angle which makes it a lot harder, but at least the collisions are really well programmed so it is a bit forgiving in that. One problem I had with this game were the respawns, sometimes it respawned me in front of something so I crashed twice. Also maybe just a small indicator of the 'E' and 'A'/'D' keys for those conversations would make it lot nicer.
@unfinished Hey, thanks for letting me know, I kinda know that there are some issues with my engines on MacOS (had it in previous games as well) and I have't figured it out yet, mostly because MacOS is the only OS I don't have. I'll try look into it.
@unfinished oh wow, nice job and thank you, this really helps me and I can at least avoid this bug in the future. Thanks for the fix and playing the game.
Love the graphics and the idea, but I wasn't able to get far, aiming the cannon is way to hard compare to how easy it is for the enemy. Also the overall tasks and such were quite simple, maybe adding some extra stuff like purchasing things or such would make it better. But other than that I liked it.
Nice game, but seems a bit short, or more like it is just the tutorial, maybe adding some puzzle levels and such would make it lot cooler (pun intended). But overall it was nice and fun to play
Nice audio, but I really didnt get the point of the game or how to properly play it.
Nice graphics and audio. The idea is unique as well and I quite like it, but maybe it would be more interesting if there was also a penalization for pressing the wrong keys. Good joob
Nice game, It's simple and quirky and I like that, fun to play around with. But the mouse detection seems to be a bit off at least in the browser version. Job well done.
I was unable to run the game (Win10, Java 8)...It goes fullscreen, but it is just black screen, I was able to hear the sounds and it took my input (did sound when I clicked)...
Simple and relaxing game, nice music and sfx. Good job.
What a great game! I am a huge fan of the art style and the animations are just on point, adorable and funny, like who wouldn't love bodybuilder cats?! The option to pick your doggo is such a small thing but makes it feel lot cooler. And the the sound design is also really well done. It's visible that you put a lot of effort into this game! Well done
Very solid entry, great art music and concept overall. Good job!
Very cool game, had lot more fun than I would expect! The boss fight was as it should be with changing attack and little bit harder to beat, 1 thing I would change there would be a save point right at the boss. Well done.
@week-of-the-agents Thanks for playing, I'll look into it, but are you sure you assigned people to it? Also to leave you have to collect set amount of gas.
@fabdynamic thank you so much for the kind comment. IDE I used was Intellij; for pixel art I tried for the first Piskel (but I prefere PyxelEdit tbh) and Gimp; to record music I used audacity; and for sfx I used sfxr.
@zepimppotatoe thank you so much for the kind words, and I'll be sure to consider making a full version. And yes I'm quite aware of the difficulty, and frankly I didn't want it to be so hardcore mode, but somehow I didn't balance it well enough in the time given. But fortunately it is possible to beat (current play time is above 2 hrs so a lots of tries :D).
@codertrevor Thank you so much for playing the game (for such a long time) and even beating it! You're the second person ever to beat it, so I'll add you on an honorary list!
@jorgegamedev thank you so much for such a great comment, I would even say a review! I really glad you liked it and enjoyed it and I agree on everything you said. I somehow didn't realize that people will have no way of telling what station is what (I'll fix that at least in the description) and the problem with GUI is in my engine unfortunately... I din't manage to ad foreground UI detection, so sometimes button in the background will get pressed instead of the one in front of it. I'll hopefully remember to fix that in the next LDJAM. Thanks again!
@bajtix Hey thanks, the problem is probably your oxygen level. It slowly drops by the amount of people you have and you have to generate more using the oxygen generator (the red buoy) and also you have to have food for your people (bread icon) which is generated by greenhouse (the glass building).
@notime4games I'm really sorry to hear that and about the bug... Unfortunately fixing it would take me to rebuild a lot of the game, but I might remake the game soon with bit more than 48 hours ;). Thank you for the nice comment and playing the game.
@crazyrems Oh it counts - the amount needed is way too high anyway :D Well done for finishing the game and thanks for the kind words! Adding you to the honorary list :D
@chickenchaser I am aware of this bug and I'm sorry I didn't manage to fix it, but I think just closing and relaunching the game should fix it (it's probably stuck in a loop in world... ehm space... generation). Thank you so much for playing.
@toccio94 Thank you so much for such a long and detailed review. And I totally agree with you on almost all of it (the speedup stopping was intentional, but maybe its bad, not sure). I'll keep this in mind if I would be remaking this. Cheers
@chickenchaser Good job, I'm so happy that you liked the game and I of course added you to the honorary list. Thanks again for playing it!
Very nice game! The thing that bring out the best of this game, is to try to "scam" the level by placing the object in really weird formations :D Which I think was somewhat point of this and that there are more ways to win every level, which is really cool. Good job!
Nice game, just wish it was longer, just as you said in the game. Well done
I liked the message and real information given on the problem. One thing I would change would be the controls, it's quite annoying to drive and click, because you move the screen and have to adjust the mouse, so using something like E or SPACE in proximity of a trash can would be probably better. Oh and btw the SFX make it feel real nice and the graphics are well done as well.
This game was so much fun and interesting.
First of all I totally dig the art and the whole vibe of the game. The sounds and animations with screen shaking make it so cool! It's very simplistic pixel art (which I love so much), but with all those animations and effects you managed to make it into really cool feeling pixel art - just the main character itself is great example of this. And as I said the sounds are just amazing and every pickup was so satisfying.
And the level design I really liked as well, I was expecting the same thing over and over, but you decided not to go there (which was a good choice) and made every level a bit different - having timer in one, being some really easy but having a deeper meaning etc...
Only thing I would wish for, is for more levels, perhaps at the end to give it a twist, it would be great for the main character to decide not to be a puppet anymore and make the player not do what the puppeteer wants - that's just an idea.
As I said, very cool game, I enjoyed it a lot, well done!
Quite challenging even from the start! I like it.
Really nice game, nice art and controls, also the upgrades make it way more fun and the drifting limousine is just a cherry on top LOL. Well done!
A nice minigame, quite at some point even a bit frustrating :D Also I would love to see some form of a timed challenge in this, that would make it a bit more competitive (if there was a way to fail). But overall really nice and the physics in this are really cool!
Interesting game, just something different which I really like. The art I really enjoy and in combination with those graphical effect and sounds gives it this nice feeling.
A nice game, which reminds me of the dinosaur game on google chrome (which I quite like tbh), the art is "cutesie" with nice depth and the graphics effect (like on the counter) are also cool. I just wish that there would be like more planets or some poweru ps or something like that. Well done.
Awesome game! I love the humor in it and how you adapted to the theme. Well done.
Such an awesome game, the overall idea is cool, the art is awesome same as the music and voice lines and the atmosphere and setting is great as well. Very well done!
Nice game, love the retro graphics and music and the whole concept!
Nice game! But I think I got the best score, cause I managed to flip my duck and no hook was able to get me! Btw I really liked that you added the option to pick your duck... such a small thing but makes it feel like cooler.
Really cool idea, I especially liked the music and sfx. But I feel like the gap for orbit skipping is quite short and maybe some other mechanic like flying would be more fun. But great job.
Very nice game, lots of levels with increasing difficulty and the concept is really cool as well. Only thing I would be worried is for people who don't know the schematic symbols, to get what is what. Very nice game, I rated it quite high, good job! EDIT: Forgot to mention how cool the name of the game is! :D
The concept is there! I quite liked the smooth zoom animations, but the game is maybe just bit too short. With a little bit more time it could have been a fun game.
Nice game, even tho it's just geometrical shapes, by giving them those bounce and rotate animations it makes it lot cooler. Well done.
As a chess player I really enjoyed this game! I really like the 3D approach you took and the puzzles are not too easy nor too difficult. Overall I had a fun playing this. Well done!
I got a little nostalgia trip from this to the days of playing similar arcade game. The art is really nice, but maybe some environment would add a lot more to it. The music is cool and fitting props to that and the game is nice and relaxing. One thing I had problem with were the collision boxes, they seem to be bit off and on rewind I sometimes got hit while finishing the rewind. Oh and also forgot to mention the slow motion which is a nice feature. Good job!
Very nice challenging puzzle game with lots of levels! Well done!
Quite difficult, but after some time I got the hang of it. Very nice game and idea and I especially like the art.
Very fun platformer game and I like the idea of changing the room every loop. The animations were quite morbid, but I guess that's what you aimed for. Oh and nice music, but can't help to not hear The Real Slim Shady melody in there, not sure if that's on purpose or not. Well done!
Very nice and original game and the animations and art is just superb and put the good sound design and music on top of that that you have and this is very good entry. Well done!
Very nice concept, unfortunately quite short and can be beaten in few minutes, nonetheless I really enjoyed playing it and I think it's a great exercise for visualizing 3d space in your head! Well done.
I agree that the mechanics are quite complex to grasp in the first minutes of playing. A tutorial would be great addition to the game. But well done!
Nice game, but I feel like it's bit too easy, I had way too much HP and was even able to just run to the end and then jump on the boss and kill her in few slashes by spamming attack. But I really liked how you included the story and the animations. Well done!
It's really short, but the art is really cool and the concept as well, I just wish you had more time to make more levels or make them more complicated. Well done.
Awesome idea and execution, the game is really trippie and the great sound and level design just adds to it. Very cool game
Nice game, its always cool to see hand drawn (physically) graphics.
@freeworld thanks for the detailed feedback, I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I planned to add music and sounds, but unfortunately I had to end the compo 8 hours earlier so it didn't make the cut. And regarding the error, I'll have a look into it and try to fix it if I can find it. Thank you
Nice game, but the control really needs some time to get used to.
Probably the best game I played so far, the intro straight up killed me and the graphics are great just as is the music. Well done!!
Thanks for including Linux version as well (I hope more devs will do that as well), but unfortunately it does not work for me. The menu loads, but buttons are all over the place and when the game starts its just black screen with sounds and I die immediately. Specs: KDE Neon (Ubuntu based distro)
From pictures it looks promising though, good luck
Nice game, the art is very nice and the music as well. Well done
Nice little game, but frankly I'm not the biggest fan of using arrows to rotate, mouse would be nice, but also make it a bit easier (which I dont know if you wanted or not). Good job
I love the backstory :D nice game and I was wondering if there will be people who'll pull out a play on words with the theme. Well done
Very nice and relaxing game, the music is nice and levels are enjoyable, well done.
Very enjoyable puzzle game that made me do some more thinking which is what I like. Also i love the minimalistic design. Well done
Nice game, also I love the music!
Well done
Very nice game, the music is nice and the game challenging... Also I appreciate that it can be run on Linux
I used to play Subway Surfer a lot few years back, so playing this was very enjoyable to me, although I do have some points on what could improve. It was quite hard to see those barricades, so making them bigger or more visible would be nice also having some graphical indication about how much HP/OIL I have (like having cog wheels in the back of the loco) would be nice, because I looking to the side and then even trying to read (not just having a bar) is quite difficult and when I tried this I've hit like 2 barricades. But overall very nice entry, good job!
Love the idea which is similar to flash games I used to play when I was a kid. Also the sounds are awesome (and hilarious). Great job
Such a cool idea, giver me vibes of those pvp brawler games and cookie clicker at the same time. Great job!
Awesome idea and game. I love the art style and that its 3D, also the effects are interesting but after a little while make you feel just like the main protagonist... well done
Nice game and concept. What I didn't like was how easy it was to die, some life immunity after getting hit would be really nice. Great job though!
Very cool game, I love the humorous touch and the gameplay is nice as well. Also the "unstable" theme fits here very well. Well done.
First of all thank you for including linux version, those are always appreciated. Secondly those graphics are just really cool with the effects you are using, so big thumbs up for that. One thing that I would change is having skippable or even skip the intro on respawn, it gets annoying having to sit through that. But good job!
It's a short game and few more levels would be nice, but overall a nice entry, the graphics are lovely, music as well and the overall idea is very cool. Good job.
As mention before it's got really that programmer art aesthetic, which I guess is sometimes big part of LD and mostly compo games. Good job.
Very fun and challenging platformer game, the art is lovely and the animations are even better not to mention the music... well done
There are many great suggestions and comments already written, but I'll say that the idea is very nice, well done!
Nice entry I liked the tile art style, but it would be nice to have some easy way to know which tiles are a wall/collide with you and which don't. Also the terrain generation is a nice addition. Good job.
Very nice game, I liked the style and the music as well, also representing lives as the amount of balloons is really good idea. Well done.
Great concept I like the sfxs and music. One thing I would maybe add to this would be some other challenge like make the walking difficult and make time run fast also while going around. But overall well done.
PS: Je super tady potkat i nějaké další čechy a s tématem daní jste to skvěle pro nás načasovali.
Fun platformer that is quite unique, it somewhat reminds me of jump king (in a good way). Was fun, good job.
Interesting game, I like the concept, but it would be nice to have more options. Nice game though.
@mrpouletbzh Thank you so much for the kind words. You can skip the intro by pressing ESC and to get out of those situations with tight corridors you have to take breaks (let reaper come closer), since you have HP regen. Thank you again for playing and the comment, I'll add this info to the description as well.
Thank you all for these kind comments, I really appreciate it. I won't tag you all to not spam your notifications.
@gdesecrate Glad you liked it. Yes, it's because you got hit to 0 and then health regeneration kicked in at the same time. Seems like I forgot to turn of health regen after dying, heh.
@confidant17 thanks for the comment and playing. There are rewards for fighting enemies, all enemies have set drop chances and can drop many different items (harder enemies have better drops), maybe you just got really unlucky with no drops :(.
Like the combination of growing and tower defense, but it felt like the growing took too long and the waves were really repetitive and when the enemy locked onto me he even went past the tower making it impossible to escape (also because his speed was the same as mine). But overall nice concept and lovely art. Good job.
Very cool game and mostly very innovative, I loved the art, music and overall design (the enemies and room and such). Well done!
Well made game, good graphics, sounds and music, but the best part is the concept itself. Well done!
Great game and the physics and collisions work most of the time really good, which is nice. Well done.
Nice game, dragging stuff in this is just so satisfying. I had a little bug, where the camera got stuck in a wrong room and I didn't see myself until I moved to another room, but that's just a really small thing. Overall it was fun, well done.
As a fan of Malevich I really liked the name and looks, but it also feels to me like you could have made it more in his style. For instance all those round corners don't seem that much as his style (at least from the stuff that I know from him) - having a sharp corners and not perfect rectangles might have been better. Or maybe even recreating some of his paintings as maps would be awesome. But other than that a very nice entry. I enjoyed the second chapter the most, although it was quite difficult to get any where far. Also loved the menu animations and colors.
Love the concept and the music is just great. It took me a while until I noticed that I'm not doing all those typos. Great job.
Lovely game, the art is simple yet nice and it's a cool concept for puzzle game although since its all crossing it seemed to me to be more about luck then calculating what will happen. Well done.
Lovely game, it was enjoyable, although I had to stop playing since after a while it got really laggy (maybe from all the enemies and drops), but it was fun till that point. One thing that I would've loved would be the option to select pickup with keyboard, since the game is fully on keyboard and I always had to move my hand to the mouse just to get a pickup and then quickly back to continue attacking. But overall very nice entry, well done.
Nice compo entry, I would like there to be more variety or progress in the building, but its still an enjoyable game. well done.
Great platformer with a nice feature of the main character getting smaller the more it jumps, which is really cool. The music is cool, the art is nice, overall very good entry.
Nice game I like that you even added some narration and jokes into the game. The combat was challenging, although got bit repetitive after while, but still was fun. Well done.
Nice game and definitely very innovative, art is cool and sound effect as well. Well done.
As a chess player I really liked this, but would honestly like more this to be a chess-looking game, it's harder like this to figure out what's going on or alternatively have the pieces to other non-standard chess moves. But overall nice game. Good job!
Great entry, although it would be really nice to have some tutorial as someone above mentioned already. Also I like the hexagonal design instead of the classical square one. Well done.
I love these types of games and yours is really challenging, took me some time to get the hang of it and then its an enjoyable, but still challenging ride. The music is really nice. Good job.
Very nice relaxing game, firstly I had thought that it will more difficult that tetris, but it actually seems to be a bit easier, which is not a bad thing. Nice entry.
Very nice entry, the controls are nice, the game is quite difficult, but I guess that is intended and the addition of having NPCs fight with you is nice. Well done.
Nice game, I like the art and the music/sfxs, very well done.
Cool puzzle game, great physics and controls. Well done!
Very enjoyable card game, well done.
I just love the art style and the idea, its awesome. Very innovative and new and the animations and environment and so on are just great looking, although I feel like the gameplay could be possibly more varying and maybe the addition of something like randomness could add this and made the races more interesting and replayable.
What a stressful game (in a good way), there so much going on and using just mouse makes it a bit more difficult. I was thinking that maybe having all the buttons have a hotkey would turn this up a notch. But overall nice entry, but the alarm gets annoying pretty quick.
So far probably one of the best game I've played here. Great art, I love tower defense games, the story looks interesting and funny and theres a big variety with characters, attack and enemies. Only thing that I would like to see are probably bigger maps (longer walk ways) or less resources and more powerful heroes -- I quite quickly filled up the entire path with heroes. But overall very nice entry, great job!
Very cool game, I like the intro story and that the ship shoots automatically (I would have it pressed down the whole time anyway), i'm not too keen on the mouse controls I would probably prefer it to be keyboard and little bit faster, because with the time warp taking some time it's really hard. But overall very nice game, well done.
Great audio and even better art, love the effect and overall design. Great entry.
Good job for a first jam!
Awesome game, great art, animations and scenes. Only thing I did not like were that the tutorials always popped up and it made me mess up a few of the minigames, because I pressed space. But overall very nice entry.
Nice game. Good job.
Nice little game, I would probably prefer it to be more difficult, but this way it's at least more relaxing. Also I managed to get stuck in the dragon's collision box and could not get out.image-41858438420379784.jpg
Very nice game, its fun and the concept is really cool. I also like the graphics. Only thing I had problems with were when I fell of the game sometimes bugged and I couldn't move after it and had to wait to explode. But overall very nice entry.
Nice game, but I feel like I dont give it enough justice playing alone, seems it would be more fun with someone else. Nonetheless great entry, with cool physics and sounds and also quite challenging. Good job.
@jimbly Thanks for the descriptive comment, and I'll add your time to the scoreboard in the description. Thanks also for letting me know of the bugs, I've fixed the scanner bug, but by removing the card, since now thinking about it, it is so overpowered, since the slow down does not mean anything really and seeing all just removes the need for scouts and scouting (also you are more than right about the speed being 0).
I also wanted to make colonies more interesting and with more to do, but there was not enough time, so unfortunately. The amount you generate should be more than 1 if i calculate correctly, but maybe you did not have enough food?
Thanks again.
@jimbly Thanks for the top regarding the JRE, I'll try it. Regarding the generation I'll try looking into it. Your mother ship should be generating 0-1 on level 1 and then 1 on other levels and then Planet Dream also generates people. Thanks for letting me know.
@niccolo-temperanza probably a problem with missing JRE, based on recommendation from Jimbly, I've created a zip with JRE included and a run.bat script. You can try downloading that.
@scottgoldsmith thanks for playing and the kind comment. I'm aware of the problems with my Java release and every LD some people find it difficult to run and I get that. Hopefully I'll soon get to upgrade/change this.
@c4ris Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm really happy you liked it.
@zluca Damn, that is impressive time, I'm adding you to the scoreboard! I'm glad you enjoyed it. And I agree with you, some music would totally be nice and more levels or at least some more procedural generation would add a lot. Thanks again.
@deltamain Thank you so much, I appreciate such a nice comment. Maybe I could do some more work on it, after all I did enjoy making this game a lot. And sorry for the crash, I'll try look into it.
@caerind Thank you. I wanted to make the match shorter, but that's really not the case it seems like. You can boost the people generation by leveling up your mother ship (there are hidden "achievements", which give you level up opportunity card) and also some planets generate people, when colonized. Then there is also the black market which sells slaves and also you always need food otherwise people start dying.
@thedude3600 Thank you so much for your comment and playing the game. Regarding the ship selection, it is intentional. If I had time to add some story and meaning to the game, this would totally be one of the things. Once you send a ship somewhere it cannot be targeted, cannot target anything and cannot change course - kinda like how the transportation works in this universe.
@alexander-epton Oh sorry for that. The game has set resolution and I didn't have time to add settings to change them. A full HD screen is unfortunately needed.
@itooh Thank you so much for the detailed comment, it really helps me better understand what needs more polishing. And I get that the AI difficulty is one of the things. I didn't have much time to test it properly and it shows, although there are some tricks player can use to "cheat" the system (such as disengaging, repairing and returning). Also I wanted people to be slow-growing resource so that it was not too easy and building fleet would take some more time and managing, but it might be too slow I suppose. Thanks for playing and for your comment.
@cybek Thanks for the bug report, I'll look into it. I'm glad you liked the game. Thanks for playing.
The github throws "Page not found" and the game does not load in here with error: Failed to read the 'serviceWorker' property from 'Navigator': Service worker is disabled because the context is sandboxed and lacks the 'allow-same-origin' flag.
Such a nice game. I like games like plate up, so this is right up my alley. It was challenging and buying upgrades felt nice, so there was a purpose to continue. The art is really good and all the effects and animations as well. The same goes for the sounds and music. Well done.
Amazing well polished game, that in no way felt like a game jam entry. It was very enjoyable, it had it small flaws, but it all over easily looked over because of the great art, music and sound effects. Really well done!
I like Vampire survivors, so this game is right up my alley. The switching between walking and shooting is really cool and the shooting is really satisfying. What I would like is there to be little bit more, like items and enemies and maps, but I get that that is the enemy in LDJAM. Also the game felt quite easy, but maybe just because I play similar games. Well done nonetheless.
Very nice game about current situation. Nicely drawn, quite innovative and with nice audio. Only thing I would like to have is longer gameplay, but I get that it is almost impossible with such a short time. Well done.
Really awesome game! The concept is really cool, dancing card game just fits this theme very nicely. On top of that cool music and graphics. Only complaint I have is that the battles might have been a little bit too easy, but it is really hard to balance such game in a short time. Well done!
The game feels really nice, the graphical effects are really good and the sound effect are nice as well, although once a lot of them get played at once it gets quite loud and not so great sounding. As mentioned in comments above, with some additional polishing and adding more to do, this could be really enjoyable game. Well done.
Very innovative and interesting game, well done.
very nice platformer game, with really nice art style and characters. I really like it and also the concept. Only thing that would be nice was to have some button so you can stand still and drain your batteries, some overheating or something like that. Also hitting double jumps correctly was little bit difficult at times, but that might have been just me. Well done.
As a big fan of plate up, I have to say I really enjoyed this game. It's nice controlling multiple people and the art is really nice as well. Although a small tutorial at the start would help a lot. Well done.
I love the art and the music was also quite nice. Good job.
A very nice and enjoyable platformer. It was quite challenging, so I appreciate the quick restarts. Well done.
Pretty nice game, I've managed to beat it on a first try, bit it wasn't too easy, which is nice. I love the graphics design and the music, well done.
Lovely game. I really like the idea, I've never seen this anywhere and it works well. It gets quite difficult if one wants to do well with the selling. Well done.
I would describe this game as "cute" (in a good way). Nice game, nice art and music. Well done.
Nice innovative concept, but quite a difficult and not forgiving game. I managed to press e by mistake without hitting a stone and it made it really hard. But overall nice game, well done.
I wasn't able to finish the game, but nonetheless it was quite interesting. I like the concept and how innovative it is. Well done.
Very interesting and fun concept. What I would appreciate is some graphical representation of the hand, not just a text. I have to give props for the great sound effects, I would never be able to record such clear and fitting audio. Only thing missing was some smooth jazz :D
I like the music and the cutsie art style. Well done.
Nice game. I like the overlay and the idea is very nice as well. Well done.
The game does not load and on itch.io I'm getting "not found" error.
@voidsay it does work now, thanks. The game is really well done, nice art, music and cool concept overall. Unfortunately I'm a slow typer so it is quite a difficult game for me.
A very nice rogue like game. I like the powerup system and slowly upgrading the character. Also thanks for the linux version, it is always appreciated and not always included in many entries.
Lovely game. Good graphics, nice sound effects and music. Well done.
I really enjoyed playing this game. Great puzzles and challenges. Well done.
I really enjoyed this game. The concept is very innovative and well executed and the game feels really nice. Also I liked the amount of levels you've added. Well done.
Nice endless runner, although quite difficult, since the arena is quite small and many of the projectiles are difficult to see. But overall it has a nice feel and plays well. Good job.
Really nice relaxing game. The art is nice and the map the same, although it would be nice to have some kind of 3d minimap to know where to lead the sheep. Well done.
