Really nice idea man ! I really played the game, you can play Crazy Snake At The Dentist now : https://mgsx.itch.io/crazy-snake-at-the-dentist?secret=IsbnN3VCSwxadnBnMyfaZ74Uo4o
It's based on my LD40 game crazy snake :D :D
i played this game on Amiga when i was young. It could be a good game with something new, something unexpected. For now it's not so fun but you will find out something to fit the theme and make it really fun.
you did a really good job with the audio ! the graphics are minimalist but it fit perfectly with audio and the smoothness of the game (smooth shooter !) : richer graphics would disadvantage he audio.
I'll surely replay at this game and recommend it to some friends !
I like the weapon ! and it fit well with the theme.
some bugs :
* arrow keys scroll the browser page on itch.io (call event.preventDefault() on javascript side could solve the problem). * music seams to be played multiple times and overlap
nice job !
Surprisingly well polished, fun, good physics, really good job !!
I don't see how it fits the theme ...
unfortunately, your game should be in the classic jam competition : i'll surely rate it well when it'll fall into that category !
i agree with previous comment, balance is not well designed.
a possible way to not die by underestimate the path, you could add a depth indicator (possibly as an upgrade) : the player just have to multiply how much is carrying by depth to have a hint if he shouldn't take more ...
Simple and efficient ! i always want to collect more ... and then dying so often AHHHHHHH ! The music worth at least 5 stars so bad it's not yours ... :-( (IMO the mute music option isn't necessary) I found the font not readable enough. But the overall is good, nice job !
well polished, theme respected. Id'd suggest a relative rotation control (personal taste). With more level design (more or less planets, ...etc) it could be a great game !
i really liked the overall game mood : graphics, music and spirit fit perfectly ! the glow effect serve the spirit of the game.
levels are not too easy and not too hard, i'm looking forward for harder levels (maybe post jams updated!)
nice job!
funny shader FX ! did you made all the graphics and music during the jam ?
Graphics and music are very clean and the game is fun! my best strategy so far was to not pickup items at all ... (i reached the green torch levels) maybe the "pickup/not pickup" balance should be improved in order to force the player to carry items.
i really like the overall game (music, graphics, mood) especially the blobs. Very intuitive for kids !
however, the theme don't fit very well IMO (maybe too easy) : it's much like "the more enemy you have the worse it is"
very good job though !
best game i played so far for the LD 40 !
Idea is very nice : both ability and strategy (and luck sometimes) are required to complete the levels.
that's so funny to accumulating lot of asteroids to make a huge ship !
graphics and music are very cool, very nice job!
i really liked the "step by step" music stuff. i like the retro gaming style too ! but i didn't feel the theme so much, i understand it by reading the description but it's not obvious. the game is not so hard and pretty well balanced. Nice job !
Instakill may happens if you get stuck between spikes and wall (or you you have no life left of course) but i tested it again and it works well except when the space between wall and spikes is too small : i think it's a bug.. sorry about that.
I'm really sorry for the remaining bugs about collision (border snap and spikes stuck problem). I'm busy right now but I hope having time to fix it ... Thanks for playing!
NEW UPDATE WITH HOT FIXES
Sorry for the delay, i fixed several bugs you mentioned, especially the "instakill" problem. See updated description for more details.
I hope you won't be upset/frustrated anymore :-)
Graphics are so a killing, i didn't notice things missing (like better explosions..) :D Music is so killing, i didn't even noticed the SFX missing (truely) Ok you could implement lot of things and you completely missed the theme but what a killing ! Nice jobs!
the concept is interesting, it needs a lot of improvements to be a real game but you have the concept which is the most important. Keep it up !
nice concept, graphics and audio are great. I'd like to only use touch. It could be more challenging if dishes could be burnt if you wait too long.
Game is well polished and fun to play ! It would match the following theme : "the more you have, the better it is" :D
I really love the idea, it fit perfectly to the theme. It's very simple but very efficient. Remind me the AI backpack problem. PICO-8 is always pleasent and pixel art is good.
I think it'll one of the best theme fitting entry !
good work!
PS : i managed to solve the puzzle quickly but that's ok for a jam, i can imagine a post jam version with lot of difficult puzzle to solve.
the tile collapsing mecanics is very innovating and fit the theme very well. I love the sounds and animation when the world shrink.
Overall graphics and sound design are pleasent, screen transitions are cool too.
Great job!
a great game : graphics and music are lovely, i love the contrast between the lovely music during space ship customization and distressing music during the battle.
Gameplay is very fun, switching from shield/weapons quickly optimizing the heat, i loved it.
It fits very well with the theme.
Excellent work, congrats!
I'm Third at this time with 208 refugees !
The idea is very great and fit perfectly to the theme. Game is fun but could be a bit more difficult, i managed to win once i understood prices depends on height. I had good time though, thanks!
few things could be fixed :
* end game popup says "you" ... i think it'd be "You win" because i reached 100% of science * too many SFX played for breaking cells and it overlaps badly * the "LD41" thing :-) it's minor but people may think part of the game was made previous to the jam :grimacing:
great job.
This is a kind of universe and feeling i had in my mind for this jam but i made it something different.
I really like this crazy universe, graphics are very funny. I'd love to have music with it.
Gameplay itself is very fun. I managed to finish first level but the second one is too speed :D.
Really great job and inspiring game.
It's funny and fit well to the theme. My strategy was to randomly shoot in many directions and it works well. I liked your description (mostly the requirement section :D ).
The comets disepear directly without any explosion, this could be improved.
Good job ;-)
the music is very pleasent and give a good atmosphere !
gameplay seams not interesting at first but when you begin to run out of space it's getting funny. Maybe the map is too big to reach the interesting part of the game.
Still a nice concept and well executed, good job!
Graphics are cool but i didn't get fun with overall gameplay and game goal ... :-(.
I don't understand how it fit to the theme neither.
Since audio is not by you, it couldn't fall in compo competition if i'm not wrong ?
@alexander-tan sorry about that, some other people like the music, maybe a matter of taste ... i hope you enjoy the game though (without the music :-) )
@nick-rafalski thanks a lot for the feedback ! indeed, i was thinking about transparent bars to show up near the player but i didn't have time to implement it, sorry.
@donitz I agree, background doesn't fit well but i had to made a tradeoff with what i had to do in time.
Very good puzzle game ! i'm stuck at level 11, difficulty curve is nice.
graphics and SFX are pleasent, music is missing but that's ok for a puzzle game.
i discoverd you can erase cell by simple click, you should write it somewhere in the game page. A "clear all" would be useful as well.
great job.
Excellent work ! beautiful graphics, easy to understand. Difficulty balance is good, i managed to finish it but i had to try several times.
Music and sound design are very pleasent and fit well with the game.
I like the SPACE key idea :D
graphics are nice but i had troubles to play it : sometimes jump doesn't work, sometimes actions (pray) doesn't seems to work neither ...
Nice game ! i like the mood, it reminds me first Castlevania in some way. It would be great with music.
Nice catch on the theme.
GG
same here, a win condition would be great and change balance to have something more challenging.
gameplay still pleaseant tough. Good work.
nice entry ! gameplay is easy to understand, graphics are very cute and pleasant.
Great job !
controls are not easy and doesn't give a good feeling. I like the idea to get rid of loots as shield but it didn't used it to go through level, i found it easier to remain protected by montains and pass through attacks and beams... the idea still very good but could be implemented differently IMO.
I like the idea though and it's a lot of work for a compo. Great work !
really fun, i get the whole screen full of slimes :D i didn't get how it fits with the theme (split is not a sacrifice) but it was very fun to play : the beginning is difficult but when you have 5 or 6 slimes at the right place it's very easy.
Great job !
graphics and overall ambiance is well executed, i really appreciate retro graphics and music style, it fits well together. Title is funny (MGS :D) .. i think about The Seventh Goat as well :D
Only 2 ratings at this time for a top quality game !! you have to rate other games, i pretty sure you can win a medal with this entry. Impressive work for a compo.
Congrats !
just a perfect entry to me : 5/5 !!
idea is genius and execution is very good, it reminds me a lot of old games with cute graphics and musics.
Congrats ! you deserve at least one medal !
color scheme just killed my eyes xD
i think using UP arrow to fall blocks DOWN is a little weired.
Nice game. I like the end of the game, nice double catch on the theme ;-)
Good points : music and SFX give a good mood. Gameplay is pleasant. Difficulty is well balanced (could be less easy though).
Thing to improve : Sacrifices are obvious to me and i'd like to end up with a very small weapon. Text sequences are too long and can't be skip.
Great job though !
Nice catch on theme ! i like the Volcano divinity idea. Game is challenging and fun. Good job !
i liked the concept, it reminds me a previous theme (mix 2 incompatible genre). It's not easy to understand what's going on but i'm sure you can develop the concept more to have a really good game.
Graphics are good, great job !
level transitions are very nice compared to overall graphics :D
The best entry so far and probably the best entry for this jam. I think you'll get a medal, you really deserve it !
Graphics and audio are very cute : perfect old school pixel style.
The concept fit perfectly to the theme and puzzle are all nice : not too easy, not too difficult. It was very fun to solve all of them. Nice ending as well !
Very impressive work, congrats !!
concept is interesting and fit well with the theme.
however, the game is too easy/obvious : i managed to finished the game with few towers. I think with more enemies life or less tower power, it could be more challenging.
As a sides notes : there is no audio in your game but you opt-in for audio evaluation ... :thinking: i didn't evaluate humor and mood neither because it don't know how evaluate it.
A good point though : i quickly understood how to play.
Game was very fun to play, i liked overall graphics and atmosphere. Virus concept is great as well, GG!
The only downside is difficulty : first level is pretty easy when you get the good strategy but level is almost impossible i think (or maybe i didn't get it).
Congrats!
really nice entry, overall mood is perfect : animation and music fit well. Very fun to play, after several try, i get rank A ! :-) it's so addictive. GG!
I liked the overall "WTF" :D this is brillant! very fun game! Ah ah ah!
Intro scene and all cut scenes are very impressive for a jam, graphics/animations are awesome too.
I had a bad feeling with the first music too close to mario kart original songs. I read what you've done : remixing with original instrument, that's cleaver but it would be a better derivated work if you've composed original theme with these instrument. Result is good though.
Congratulations!!
pleasent game, i love the graphics. It would fit the theme "your death is a currency" but i like the idea though. I'd like music was made by yourself (i thought it was until scoring your game).
Thank you for this little plateformer. GG!
same as the others ... something missing in order to play?
Nice entry! I liked the concept, it fits well with the theme. Graphics and Audio are very cool. GG.
Note: At some point a big gray rectangle took all the screen and i was stuck.
Some improvements: * audio volume is very low, i had to put my speakers at maximum. * arrow keys makes page scroll on itch.io (ping me on discord, i'll give you the solution ;-) ) * collision and world bounds could be better, i managed to go behind wall :D
Anyway, it was fun to play.
Brillant entry, it's very addictive, i had to finish the game :-)
Puzzle difficulty is well balanced and i really like the organs animations ... very gore.
Congrats!
it fit pretty well with the theme and gameplay is pleasant. I'd prefer original graphics (even simple) though.
Nice graphics! Game is too difficult IMO.
Universe is very cool! graphics and musics fit very well together, i like the art style, GG!
did you made graphics and audio yourself during the jam?
@nonimad thanks for you feedback :-) 107,800 is not bad at all! my best score so far is 325,760. You have to reach last coin (the coin coin) as quick as possible in order to make more points ;-)
Main concept and graphics are very cool but the gameplay is a little boring, it would be better to have more challenge when capturing souls...
good work though!
idea is funny and audio is good. The gameplay is weird : i loose my baby almost all the time when i change direction, maybe there is some bugs?
graphics are good and music is very nice but i didn't get the game itself...
i really like the "Two games in one" concept. Game is a little boring at some point but the overall mood is good. GG.
i didn't get it : Keyboard E does nothing and my "entites" seams to shoot automatically... at level 2 ennemy get stuck and nothing happens then, he never die...
graphics and animations are very good though!
The game is nice and has potential! Good job! ;-)
congrats for the graphics/arts and the whole universe you made, very impressive!
the game doesn't work with chrome : there is no customer dialogs. I tried with FireFox and i get the dialog but the "click on customer" did nothing... i was able to play though.
I guess the goal is to discover which color is linked to a named flavour and that's why there is not hint about it.
I didn't get the link with the theme but it still a nice entry!
very pleasant game, i loved overall mood : graphics, audio and gameplay fit well together.
Art is very good, impressive graphics and music fit well. I didn't managed third level, i think it's quickly too difficult, gameplay is a little too speed and it's very difficult to switch during a jump.
The idea of dimmension switch is very good though. GG!
sorry but it was clearly too difficult with keyboard and it's a little too fast, i'm falling after 20 or 30 seconds :grimacing:
graphics and music are very cool though.
concept is good and fit with the theme. I'm stuck on level 3, i can't get how to reach the door...
graphics are very good though.
graphics and overall game are cute, i don't get how to use fishing rod but it wasn't necessary to finish the game.
I didn't know about SnakeBird which is indeed very close. Concept still very interesting though.
I liked the sounds (ouiiii :-) ) and overall graphics are simple but nice.
Great job.
I think there is a bug : i killed the enemy but there is some invisble colliders that push me to the cars (a part of enemy doesn't seam to be killed ... :-/)
Music is good and genre mix is cool.
i like the very dark graphics and music. The concept could be promising with differents spawning geometries where player have to find the best strategy to catch them ... or not.
It's already fun to play right now and i'm looking forward for gameplay improvements including an ennemy to kill.
nice job !
Very well polished and congrats for the music !
Control is not easy making the game very difficult but you did a nice job !
Sorry but i'm pretty sure i already seen these graphics somewhere, did you really made it yourself ?
I don't understand which genres did you combined ?
What could be improved :
* right to left tutorial is a little weired * avoid overlap with enemy * glitches with tiles (maybe pixel bleeding could help) * controls : espace inventory in fullscreen leave fullscreen
I really like the idea of a stressfull builder game.
It would be nice to have something to stop or slow down the blight : maybe some wood fence made with trees or something ... it could give more strategies.
Controls are a bit complicated IMO : at least click on items to select them.
It was really fun to play though ! nice job !
i really like the concept (pretty close to my own entry, i hope you'll like it as well ;-) ).
At start I thought mixing controls was not a good idea but when spikes arrives it make sens and it becomes very challengin to move piece and watch out where the character goes :-)
Overall game is pleasant, music fits well with the graphics, nice job !
Interesting idea ! It could make a great game with more strategy.
Current game is a little boring as it is : sometimes i was stuck without mana and needs to be hurt to earn more, skills just differ in geometry but not so much gameplay wise : cards sound like weapon selector and don't have impact on opponent's cards ...
Nice job though, you needs to dig in the idea IMO.
really impressive for a compo entry :
* lot of animated graphics * neat music * interesting and challengin mashup (sims and shooter)
it was very fun to play and i surely play it again to advance in ages (good catch with the robots).
Congrats !
Good catch on theme ! I liked the slow motion effect.
Here is some improvement you could make IMO :
* I feel like collision was a little random. * It was not easy to understand i had to click on the character, i don't understand this constraint ... * I died when passing a door by falling in the first hole :-/ * All the game scroll when i re-spawned
A or Q for moving left well appreciated for AZERTY people ;-)
Nice job with the graphics !
Impressive in only 48h ! Good tutorial and the mashup is fun :D
However, in webgl version the FPS drops really fast even with a good laptop and is almost unplayable ... :-/
I didn't understand how i win, just build some towers and enemies get to treasures but i won ...
Music is really nice as well, great job !
it become very difficult at level 3 but it's a very nice game, well done !
overall game is cool but i found controls a little difficult (maybe i need a gamepad).
i loose just by touching a falling block with my head without been crushed by it ... maybe a bug.
it's really fun though ! nice one !
A lot of humor in this game ! (AZERTY LOL)
Try to pick-up and drive is definitely not compatible :D
Really good jobs with audio : music is cool and the character voices remind me StarFox.
Fresh LD entry !
Graphics are clearly awesome, very great job !
I have some trouble with frame dropping/speed stability which make difficult to not fall, maybe you could find a way to have a smooth delta time.
i'm looking forward the post-jam game !
The base idea is promising. I understand it's a early work in progress without AI but there is some bugs (multiple balls ...) and it missing strategy. I'm sure you'll find out a way to improve it ;-)
concept is awesome, level design is good. The switch sound is a little boring, maybe sound is not the best way to give feedback to the player IMO.
Nice job ! It was a pleasure to play it.
Impressive compo ! i liked the mood with the music and graphics, i finished the game, it was a pleasure.
Good catch on the theme and the overall concept !
Congrats !
nice game ! well executed tower defence with well balanced difficulty, i only played twice but i think i will replay it later (f**ing 13th level ! :D).
Card concept is simple but mix with tower defence work well, it could be even better with more card based strategy for a postjam game : you did a lot of work in 48 hours, especially on the gameplay.
GG
nice mecanics, it's not easy to synchronize attacks because timeline is far from battle zone : you need your eyes to switch between them quickly. Maybe with a bigger timeline or a timeline close to the player could do the trick.
Graphics and music are simple but it works. You found time for tutorial and a map : nice job !
