The game is pretty good, too bad for the sound which is really really annoying. Sick graphics too, a bit more polish on the spaceship would've helped maybe.
Also thanks for having a Linux client, not many games have it, I appreciate it :)
Absolutely lovely. I loved the retro style that isn't your usual pixelated platformer.
Nice job.
I'm sorry but I seem not to be able to run this game. I'm on a linux machine and I was really glad to see a linux game (besides mine :p ), however I installed all the required libraries but it doesn't seem to work.
The game starts, has some graphical glitches, and then it segfaults. Here's the console output:
http://pastebin.com/XrpEH28Y
The game is simple yet interesting. Obviously might need some more balancing but it's cool.
The music is a bit too low-quality imo and might come up being annoying after some time playing, so are the effects.
Overall, though, a pretty solid entry that isn't your average retro-styled platformer. Kudos.
Tried the linux version... I open the index.html using Firefox (Aurora) and it just plays the arpeggio.wav without showing anything. Why didn't you just upload it to a public folder on dropbox or something?
Camera is too slow to pan and can screw you up pretty badly. Enemies are way too predictable and yet difficult to avoid (being their AI basically GO TO PLAYER), graphics are pretty bland but fit the genre. Music is rather non-existant/annoying with sound effects.
Also, why do you make the game start from the previous level if you lose?
This is seriously one of the best LD games I've played this LD. Really, amazing. Nice job.
Really good game. I loved how simple and straightforward you made it look, especially loved the tutorial which a lot of LD entries don't have (mine either, which I regret).
Good job!
I totally agree with you guys, both with the ending dragging on for too long and the whole puzzles/context interaction thing. I'll be writing a post-mortem article explaining why such things happened. Mostly because I had a bigger idea behind the whole thing and a very definite story I wanted to implement, however the time constraints forced me to cut out a lot of it and the game itself suffered from it :)
Thanks for playing though!
I'm sorry, the game is developed in C++ using AngelEngine, it's a library that works on Linux, Windows and OSX. However I do not own a Mac (and I promptly refuse to, honestly). It took me a long enough time to port it to Windows as well as I'm currently on a very underpowered Linux PC (because my main Windows computer broke down a few days before LD... talk about luck).
I'm really sorry :( You might try and get it to run inside wine (if OSX has wine, I think it does..). I know it runs in wine on my Linux.
@Raptor85 depending on your distro, you have to install the package libdevil-dev (debian/ubuntu/mint/crunchbang) or DevIL-ILUT-devel (fedora) or try looking for the related package for your specific distro.
@Raptor85 if it's "unreasonable" then you can just skip this game and play all the other games, there's so many for this Ludum Dare! :)
This is seriously great. Didn't fit well with the theme in my opinion but the rest is simply amazing.
Game was overall interesting, especially for a 48 hours game. I don't know if it's because I played it in Wine on Linux but I had a hell of a hard time targeting buttons on the panel, like the game was pushing the crosshair away whenever I went over it.
Couldn't get it to run on Linux because it was the Data folder was actually called 1bitwar_Data (or something like that). Used strace and realized it was looking for the wrong folder so I changed its name to "Data" and then it worked.
Simple game, I have to say.
Wow, this game is great, I spent like hours trying to solve all the puzzles with as little figures as possible. Great adaptation to the theme, kudos to you!
I didn't know what to do, then I clicked on the monolith and it became clearer. Controls are weird and "oily" but the game itself has some really great mood. It's really weird. Not sure if good or bad, haha.
Interesting mechanic, it was really nice. The fact that you lost if you touched the checkered block was a bit unclear and the game would benefit more content but this is understandable, it's just 48 hours. Really great job!
I don't really think voice acting done by other people for your game counts in the "recordings of other people". What's next, I let my artist draw stuff, print it, take a picture of it and then use it?
Oh well, I really wanted to play this game either way, but I can't get it to work with wine on Linux.
This is really great, simple and yet effective. I loved the concept.
Really smooth game, the rotating room gave me a bit of motion sickness and the gameplay was a bit slow/sluggish but pretty good nonetheless!
I didn't quite understand what happened at the end but it was very good. Really smooth and nice, good job.
Too bad it was a bit short
I liked it, noticed some uncapitalized 'I' in text though :) It awas a bit confusing but really smooth and interesting gameplay.
Nice little game, I appreciated the wall-breaking mechanic and the AI. Good job.
I'm sorry I cannot play this game because it's in Flash (I don't have Flash). Not your fault of course...
just wanted to drop by to say that I thought the image, from the preview, looked like a penis. Cheers!
Game is pretty bad, nice idea and nice concept but the collision detection is abysmal, I couldn't reach past 10-15 seconds of gameplay, it simply didn't work as I kept crashing everywhere
I totally agree with what the others have said, there's not much in here to do at the moment, might become a cool game if polished and improved.
Simply amazing.
Really great game, loved the humor and the simple and yet effective mechanics.
I agree the levels got tiring quickly but overall a very solid concept.
It's sad you put "Linux is better" in the windows level and yet aren't shipping the game for Linux too (I ran it fine with wine).
+1 point to humor for that line by the way :)
Same here, Linux (Ubuntu), cannot run this because of missing main class yadda yadda
Game does not work under wine for Linux :(
AGDG bro, the game was awesome. I loved the idea of using multiple upgrades and stuff like that. Great stuff, really!
Really good game, graphics were pleasant, audio catchy. Nice one!
Game working fine here, the javascript alerts were pretty annoying, game was hard to play.
Game was pretty bland, unfortunately I'm on Linux and I get no music.
Overall it gets a few more points because it reminds me of an old game I made in Pascal around 10 years ago. Nostalgia'd like crazy!
The game was weird, simple mechanic and yet effective. Didn't really think it fit the theme that well (Minimalistic != Minimalism).
Overall a positive score.
Really great mood, I was scared when playing this, I was expecting jumpscares.
Game got old really quickly though :( Not much to do.
Game was pretty smooth, jumping mechanics were quite annoying (jumping+right = getting stuck in next tile). The gameplay was very annoying when getting stuck at any wrong turn.
Overall it's solid, I liked the music.
At last some fellow who enjoys point and click games, if you like them, try out also my entry in LD which is a point and click adventure.
Overall, the game is great, humor was a bit shallow imo and the google translation from french to english totally killed it (dialogues are the most important thing in a point and click after all). Sound is pretty great and the art style is nice. I feel the theme was a bit too forced in the game itself. Did you really make all of this from scratch in 48 hours? That's amazing, if true.
Game was overall positive. I think the fireballs shooting from the top of the player was a poor design choice (intended or not). Eventually it became easier/more-fun to just avoid enemies and skip rooms instead than fighting them all. The loading of the mana was boring and broke the flow of the game.
The sounds were pretty good, were they original? The bats dying had the same sound (or very similar) of the squishy things in Dungeon of Dredmor.
This game was really good, gave me an overall nice feeling. I mashed E like crazy too, haha
Unfortunately I cannot run this, I am on Linux and I tried it with wine, it says
"GLUT: Fatal Error in openframeworks: pixel format with necessary capabilities not found."
This is seriously the best entry I have played so far. Putting this ahead before even Piet dancing (which is a great entry, go check that shit out, btw)
I'm serious, simple, minimal and right on the spot. Amazing.
Same here, I have only Linux and I cannot play this, unfortunately.
I didn't quite understand what I was supposed to do so I just flicked around :)
Pretty original, I love terminal-related games and I love Pascal (nostalgia'd hard). Really really nice for a 48 hours game
Game was a bit weird to understand, not sure if it's only on Linux (used standalone) but the main menu didn't work at all, only the begin button.
Gameplay was a bit slow/repetitive after a while but luckily it wasn't too long. Still a very good job!
Game was weird, didn't find a way to change the options after having started the game.
Not sure if it's normal but the mouse was inverted (loop up = move mouse down, etc etc), very annoying.
A lot of grammar errors, something that isn't really excusable on a text game... I was a bit annoyed that I couldn't backspace my way on the text, which piled up all over the place because of my typing retardation.
A very good idea and concept which became annoying fast (unfortunately).
I used to live in a cabin made of wood. After playing this game I am now surrounded by bricks.
Those pesky red blocks were surely scary. Great game! Simple and yet efficient.
Not too bad, nice and interesting mechanic. I agree with the other comments, it was too hard to begin with, there was little player feedback and the ball/potato/whatever was very hard to get flying around.
Really really nice game. I would've loved some audio to go with it though. Interesting mechanic that could really get polished and improved and you might really have a good candidate for a good touch game for android/iOS/whatever. Good job.
Amazing game haha, really innovative. I hated drawing circles because it's so damn inaccurate but really really good game. Kudos!
I understood the game but I had no idea what I had to do. It was very confusing.
Simple game, a bit awkward to play with a mouse though.
Really great entry, unfortunately I couldn't get the sound to play on Linux with wine, not sure if it's a bug with wine or whatever... Everything else is great, pretty good entry, one of my favorite.
Couldn't get this to run on Linux, java complains about missing jinput and the .sh script doesn't work (there is no "PAUSE" command in bash...)
Game is very slow and sluggish, not sure if it's intended or if it's low FPS on my machine... I found it pretty boring, honestly :(
@martijn
curse you for linking tvtropes! :D
@Hegemege I found out after submitting that there was a silly bug where you could click on exits placed under items/entities (like the hidden cave or the throne room) and get through without solving the puzzles. I fixed it now, the only item that has no actual use is the note in the Library.
But yeah, thanks for the comments guys, I had a lot of fun making this! :)
Yes, to give items to characters you need to select the item in the inventory and then click on the character. I apologize if it's not polished and is unclear, I really rushed the release to stay within the 48 hours period (one hour before the end I didn't even have an ending and I didn't get to playtest this much) :(
@nintendoeats I know it's a poor excuse but the disconnect between the two parts was intended. I wanted to make it longer but not enough time for more content (I had a lot of trouble fitting everything within the 48 hours as is). For people who played my previous LD game last April (another point and click game), the mood and feel is mostly the same (although puzzles have improved), basically a 180 degrees turn at the end.
I should plan things more thoroughly... I'll keep a note for the next time :)
@Masadow try refreshing, eventually it will work. I promise!
I really hate this bug, I don't understand why it happens, it's so annoying and I am still trying to fix it.
Lots of updates and bugfixes (see edited main post). For people who couldn't play it before because of loading issues... well I hope they're gone now. If they aren't then re-try and keep refreshing (give it some time though).
For Opera/Safari/IE users (I feel sorry for you), the game *should* work but I haven't had the time to test it. Let me know.
@Martin_Monosys and once browsers used to be only for web pages and not videogames :)
No, I'm sorry, really, I'd love to make it work properly on every browser but in 48hours I couldn't really do more than this. On Firefox it works, on Chrome/ium it works too. With IE, Opera or Safari it gets a bit trickier because of .mp3 and .ogg sounds, I added .mp3 music and made the proper checks to get them to work on the right browsers but I have no mean (or will) to test them. Sorry. ^^
But, hey, firefox and chrome are free!
@imagnity try waiting a bit, the loading bug should technically be gone. It might take a while to load the music. If it really is stuck loading then refresh and retry. I'm sorry it is a problem :(
I like the way you used the theme, really ingenious. I agree the robot is a bit slow and the sound was weird but a solid entry nonetheless.
I didn't quite understand what was the point of this game, to be honest. The theme felt a bit lacking in general.
Interesting gameplay, if further explored it could make for an interesting turn based strategy game. Even in battles you could never win, you can still have survivors which can go back in time and help their previous selves to eventually win the battle.
Amazing, simply amazing.
This game is great. I love it, simple and yet effective, also with really nice depth.
The only problem, I found it a bit hard, especially with the collision detection on corners, it was really unforgiving. Not that it's bad, it's amazing! Kudos to you.
I like the audio a lot, there was a bit of a glitch in the sound when changing levels but I'm not sure if it's because I was running it emulated on Linux. For all other Linux developers/users out there, this game works perfectly under wine ;)
Amazing game, I didn't care about all the atoms combinations, I just mashed 1-2-3-4-whatever until stuff happened on screen... and it worked!
I had lots of fun playing this game. Also as a fellow Linux developer, keep up the good stuff! Linux strong!
Nice little entry. Gameplay was challenging and fun, audio was snappy. Didn't understand why it's called "11" seconds but fun nonetheless ;)
Nice game for a 48 hour competition, I enjoyed the graphics and the gameplay. At first it felt like very unbalanced, then I realized I can run and also shoot while walking. It became fun really quickly after that.
Acceleration is iffy and movement is too "smooth", it feels very sluggish when you are trying to catch speed and then you get stuck in a corner. Also audio would have been great.
Bad things aside, this is really impressive. Slick and yet simple graphics, and also with a level editor! good job.
The game was nice, really good job. The time mechanics were great and the slowdown effect was amazing. The only thing I didn't like were the controls, way too tricky and the movements are way too fast. I could hardly stand on a single platform unless I was holding the spacebar throughout the whole game.
Playing this under Linux by the way, thanks for supporting the better OS ;)
Good game, terrible graphics. I'm sorry but I still feel my eyes burning with an afterimage of those scanlines
Weird game, you must have been on acid when you made this, haha.
The theme felt a bit forced but nonetheless an interesting game.
Nice game, great mood and pacing. The controls were a bit iffy with jumping while holding an arrow key while also holding a crate. Certainly not a game for the faint of heart, it's not really easy but it's really well done.
Good job!
This game is genius. Simply genius. It's so simple and straightforward and yet addictive. Graphics are gorgeous and gameplay is solid.
I didn't get audio to play though, I couldn't hear the bell (running Firefox on Linux).
Good game, I got spooked by the popping face. The thing moves way too slow to my tastes, honestly, but it's an interesting mechanic nonetheless.
Ahaha oh wow, I'm laughing at this humor, it's simply great. Good job, simple gameplay, interesting setting. 10/10
For anyone who wants to play this, you can run it inside dosbox.
I have no idea what I just downloaded and run, it gets into an infinite loop when I type "Marshmallow".
10/10 for the C code though.
Amazing audio and mood, interesting and fun gameplay, I kept re-playing and re-playing to get the best score. One of my favorite entries so far!
Really hard game, nice audio. Simple gameplay, good job! :)
Really nice game, it was fairly complex and yet easy to understand while playing. Interface and controls were great, good job!
Wow dude, your game is so similar to my LD entry that I was genuinely surprised. It's also great, good job. I love the sound and the artstyle, the bit with the jumping/falling outside of the map was awesome.
Check out my game as well, they are really similar (although mine is turn-based and more unbalanced haha).
Nice game, I loved the audio the most. Lots of content for just 48 hours, really great.
The movements felt a bit sluggish and trekking back to buy upgrades felt very annoying.
@sirtetris
If you are so lucky to get a rare armor drop, you can easily get through most of the game with that. Usually you don't get such drops until later so you'd be steamrolling the early enemies.
I can say that without such rare drops the game is very hard, which is why I'm trying to balance it more and release an improved version ^^
This game is great. I'm speechless, I truly am. I loved the take on the mechanic, the graphics were really fitting and the mood was just right.
Keep up the good work, this game really blew my mind.
I'm sorry, I cannot load this game on Linux, there is no Data directory in the link :(
Ads on a Ludum Dare game? Really?
Sorry, game looks interesting but I won't play stuff where ads keep popping up every time (and thus, to be fair, I won't rate it).
Really interesting game idea. I love the graphics and design, packed and simple. It fits the theme really well.
It would be nice to have more enemies and less exploitable mechanics for a more balanced game, but obviously that's too much to expect in 48 hours. I really enjoyed it! Nice job.
Fuck yes, DOS! Nostalgia trip right there, kudos to you!
@caryoscelus: Yes!
I agree 100% with you on everything, I had planned two extra branches of the story and extra features that I couldn't hack together in time for the competition. This is going to be a general purpose VN engine and I will definitely add everything you said, these problems irked me as well :)
I might expand on the missing branches of the story and give a bit more closure to everything when I can get around to it (polishing the engine more is my priority at the moment).
Thank you everybody for the great feedback and comments, I enjoy seeing people's opinions on the game, both positive and negative! :)
