Perfect!
Awesome, pretty interesting changes :).
Difficult, but awesome game. Suits the theme very very well.
Nice art and concept, but the music was a bit annoying. A map editor was unexpected!
Coulnd't run because of the "HiDef" profile, if possible please target the "Reach" profile (you can set this on the XNA project properties)
Looks very polished, I love the art and I like the idea of a little screen. Overall, the atmosphere is great, however it played way too fast on my old PC, so I couldn't get very far, not sure if others had this problem as well or if the game is supposed to run like that.
Terrific art and nice animations. Jumping to the mouse was an interesting concept but could be more precise. Not sure what to do in the game though!
LOL LOL LOL ! Seriously, another terrible idea turned into something great. Kudos!
Beggining was too slow paced, but then when other letters appear its a blast. Great idea.
Finally got to play your game! It was pretty fun, I liked the arena and it plays smoothly. The transition at the beggining was surprising, great effect!
HMmm... chocolate! Good art!
LOVED this game! Great concept and very well done, the gameplay just feels right. Fun!
Congratulations, amazing game and execution. it's the kind of game you just HAVE to play till the end. Music was good also.
Nice snake game, but I though the playing field was too big sometimes.
PS: I like games that say I suck when I die lol.
Way too many squares. Even for a minimalistic game, I think it lacks a bit more polish.
Truly unique, great concept and execution. Too bad it was too short, I felt like playing more. Congratulations!
Pretty sweet!
This reminds me of an old Windows 3.11 game I used to play! Very nice execution, plus the music is very fun! Great entry overall
Same error as SuperlevelSebastian on Win 7
Weird atmosphere. Controls are confuse but after a while I got to acomplish a few things (but didn't finish the game). Original.
Congratulations on the choice of language, ASM is hardcore for a 48h entry, but perhaps you could have explored a bit more the concept by entering in the Jam and having another day.
Cool atmosphere, too bad you couldn't finish it.
Awesome game, very fun. I liked the tight controls and checkpoint system. The difficult was well done, the only really difficult part was one spike jump which was sort kind of enraging. A death counter would be nice, as well as some BG music. Graphics are also nice.
I liked the idea, but the movement didn't felt very natural. Second level was a bit too hard!
Jumping felt a bit weird. Beat the game in the first try, perhaps it could be longer (randomly generated for best results?).
A good "minimal" idea, however it lacked a bit of polish: animation, better collision and more things to make it a bit more interesting.
Genious!
The options make it more confusing than it is, how can I choose if I don't have a clue what's ahead?
I simply love it, everything just fits, but is it supposed to end suddenly at the cliff?
Very original, it made me laugh a lot. ALL SHEEP RETURNED! Voice acting is not something you see in many games here!
Cool!! :)
This is addictive and fun, and a great take on the theme. My only complaint is that the audio volume was a bit annoying, those squareish waves have a lot of harmonics and tend to sound very harsh, so lowering the amplitude (or filtering high frequencies) is a must. But that
... but that's very minor, overall it's a nice entry, I enjoyed it.
Not a fun of Arkanoid, but the extra twist made this very fun. Nice music too.
I think it would be more minimalist as an animated gif file.
It took me a while to get used to the controls, but it's a fun game. Many, many, many deaths :). I think the background music volume is too low.
I found my keys! Quite trippy indeed, but effect of looking around is cool, perhaps you could try exploring better the idea and expanding on it. Nice visuals.
Indeed, music wasn't great but overall I enjoyed the game, nice content for the competition!
I think the idea could be better executed, I don't like jumping into the void and trying to guess what comes next. Jumping also feels weird. Anyway, thanks for sharing, hope to see more of you in the next LDs!
Nice experience, and pretty minimalistic :).
That's probably my highest rated entry so far. I really love the atmosphere, and graphics, it reminds me of my beloved adventure games.
Also, the karate joke was great and unexpected!
Graphics and exploring around makes the game very enjoyable. A bigger world, procedurally generated would be very nice :). Loved the cat.
Interesting effect, but levels could be a bit better
Please target this to "Reach" XNA profile, not "HiDef", otherwise I (and many others) won't be able to run it.
Very original, it reminds me of Windows 3.11 games :). It's pointless, yet one can hardly stop playing yet until there's nothing else , so I take that as a metaphor of my life in general.
Such a nice game, I like the visuals and feel. Sort of addictive, would make a great cell phone game
Fixed, thanks!
Thanks for the comment, I don't have great expectations on my ratings but I would be happy if the music gets well rated, even though that was by far the quickest thing to make.
Hint: don't ever stop holding the run key :).
Otoris: see if you can uninstall from the control panel, as far as I remember that's how it works with XNA.
Thenmal: Not sure about the crashes, I'm sorry. Can you run other XNA4 games?
MaxSzlagor: Could that be your keyboard? Mine does that sometimes. See if using the alternative key scheme works (keys instead of WADS and jumping with space.
Cybearg: thanks for you thoughful comments, I hardly play any video games so these are great lessons for me, I'll take them for my next attempt.
Dietrich: hold RUN all the time, otherwise you'll be way too slow to do anything (note to myself: running shouldn't even exist, character should move faster!)
TehSkull: It's massive because of the soundtrack, XNA doesn't compress the sound by default, so there's about 50MB of wave files.
Sorry for the syphilis Jellycakes, and thanks for playing my game on your channel.
Uploaded a post-compo version with two minor changes: RUNNING doesn't exist anymore, character runs by default. Also, in this version you don't have to move with the moving platforms.
Please rate the 48h version though.
Regardless whether this belongs to the 48hr compo or to the Jam because of the music, the entry is still pretty nice. I love point and click adventures, and even though some dialogues may get tiresome, the graphics (no wonder you are a pro) made this very very worth playing. Hope you continue doing game dev.
Very funny and awesome graphics. You, sir, deserve very good ratings :)
LOL at the "I should have kept it simple" ending. Can the player actually die? I took lots and lots of shots and nothing happened.
Brillant! Just loved everything about this. Great art and humor.
Agree with the climbing, but otherwise a cool game. The jump sound was a bit too loud.
Interesting graphics, but it could use some action or more surprises, as well as background music. Also, there's a funny bug to make the character walk backwards!
Controls are a bit strange, but nice game and music!
Very simple and minimal, however sometimes the level design is too repetitive (such as level 5). It could use some BG music! If fits the theme, I also tried a top-down "atari-like" game.
Great game, well done!
At first I thought: what a terrible idea! But somehow it worked and I played 5 times until I almost scored 16. Kudos on being original and very minimal!
Pretty fun and addictive!
Innovative concept, but not very enjoyable.
Cool little game, enjoyed the levels, concept and art. I don't think explanations were necessary, let the player discover them! Nice music!
It actually reminds me of my entry in many ways (just look at one screenshot!)
Cool and cute, but soon it was a bit too hard! First thing I tried was mixing colors, so I'm glad it worked hehe.
Awesome concept, too bad it was way too short :). Gravity change was a blast!
We have a winner here, even the credits screen is super cool!
Congratulations on the amazing game, very original. I hate the cops!
Great game and music, however it runs way too fast. Congratulations on the effort!
You owe me a new keyboard! I didn't understand it very well, pressing spacebar increased my points but I still couldn't land on the second building?
Controls would be easier if you provided some visual information on speed and angle, it felt hard to know what would happen. when I clicked it. Simple mechanics fits the theme well. It could benefit from some basic audio when the balls collide.
Great job, nice gameplay and good sound. Would like to see it on a touch surface :).
I usually don't like text adventures, but the hyperlink made it refreshing. Text was clear and concise, which made it it easier to follow.
Really enjoyed the introduction, graphics and music! Gameplay could be tightened up, but overall your entry is pretty amazing for 48hs. Congratulations!
I liked it, controls didn't felt great but it was surprising, so it was rewarding to play it until the end. Space invaders was a nice twist!
a!
Controls were a bit confuse. I could understand it, but it didn't felt very right. First time I finished a level I though I was dying. Still, kudos on taking the theme seriously and leaving things subtle.
Very fun platformer, the skull can help a lot. I think I'm very visual, I could remember most of the map hehe.
Best game so far, I got really hooked on this one.
Pretty neat platformer, nice atmosphere!
Nice entry, I liked the mechanics and the player graphics!
Very compelling, I wish it was a bit longer! Congrats.
Great music and graphics. As others have said, more challenge after the first levels would be welcomed.
Great RPG. Actually, pretty amazing for only 48hs! Congrats.
I second the idea of turning this into a phone game, controls would feel better on a touch screen than with the mouse. Simple yet quite fun, with some relaxing BG music you'll have a really nice timewaster for the phone crowd.
Good potential here, I like the direction this is going :).
Best puzle game I played so far! Very nice concept and execution! I would this on my cell phone :).
Loved the humour and gameplay! Quite addictive.
