Really fun concept, its fun to try and find the best combinations of slacking that works :P some of them seems a bit arbitrary, but that kindda adds to the fun of it. Petting the dog takes 13 hours! It's a great take on the theme
Neat game, it's a bit too repetitive, maybe turns can run on a timer? either way it's an interesting concept that can be expanded upon
The graphics and sounds are well put together. It is very difficult, or maybe I just suck at TD games :P probably the latter...
The music was very good, really haunting and immersive. It puts you in the mood of a dire situation.
Though maybe a city that plans its defense budget around how many people the defenses kill and not how many enemies are projected to show up is doomed from the start? :P
Great idea for the theme. The controls are great and overall gamefell feels responsive. There's a couple of times where I could have sworn that my projectiles didn't hit the zombies, but it didn't affect the overall game experience.
The sound effects and the graphics are great, I love the pixely 3d graphics. There was some spelling errors, but they don't really impact the experience alot. This is a really solid core game and there's a lot of potential for expanding more on it. :)
got to 4:49 :D
the graphics, sounds and ambient soundtrack sets the mood perfectly. Really well done and impressive :D
Great concept, though personally, I prefer to die on a hill about which captain is better Picard or Kirk :P
The theme is used really well here, the music and sound is great, sets the mood perfectly. I like how the slashing/sword animation can be chained together.
I can see on your itch.io page that you already know the range attack spam problem and I agree that an energy meter would limit it. Also something fun to consider is leaving blood/entrails/enemy remains on the ground as a "counter" instead of just a number :)
Also nice to see someone going for a touch friendly control scheme, this could totally work on a smartphone/tablet :D
the web build seems to loop, which, in it's own way, is kindda quirky :P, do I need Godot to run the desktop version? :)
Edit: Now it's fixed and I've tried it, really fun :) I was originally a bit surprised that there's a song with lyrics playing over it, but it did tie in nicely with the game.
The graphics are great and the concept is really smart. Instead of controlling the runner you control the track. really clever. There's quite a few bugs, but I feel like that can easily be ironed out. The primary game loop is fun and fast paced.
This is why I quit medical school. Great idea, with a solid game loop, constantly checking the monitors and picking the right colours. The different alert sounds playing depending on what colour is a big help. There were some performance issues though on both the webGL and the desktop version.
very fun and challenging, I'd imagine that with a friend it'd be a lot less difficult though :P it's a great fit for the theme, the main loop of getting gas, but also boosters to push the meteor away is really fun, sorta like a risk n' reward system. The graphics reminded me of all those newgrounds/flash games from the 2000's really fun to reminisce about those :D
The audio works great in creating tension, while the meteor approaches. As for any additions to the mechanics aside from powerups etc. maybe some kind of saboteur that you'd have to kill before they siphon too much gasoline from the rocket. It feels like a very complete experience otherwise.
love all the funny names :D As soon as I got to Nullepart I was sure I was home :P The writing is really good and engaging with a funny twist at the end. Great job!
oh man, great idea with the pressure mechanic :D it really increases the tension. Also the sound every time something is missed is also a great way to increase the tension.
my trophies :( I got them for participating....
great concept for this theme :) the music was really fitting and the graphics were really good. I loved the handpainted sprite of the player. It's deceivingly difficult, but I managed to stay alive for 148 seconds :D
Loved the ending quote XD I hadn't even considered the Oedipus myth, but it's a great fit for the theme, really inventive and clever.
The audio was nice and set the mood. The writing was good too :) I can't really say anthing about graphics, since... well it's a text adventure :P
Love the ascii graphics, there's a subtle light effect on it, that really pops. The only problem with making it a browser game was that the page would sometimes scroll up or down when I moved in that direction.
I really like the text box with information on the left side describing your actions and going "delaying the inevitable", really nice and ominous :)
great concept, amazing use of audio, especially at the end screen. I love the stylized graphics and music.
How do I explain to my boss that he's not getting those spreadsheets today? I don't wanna make TAB bot sad :( Also neat little idea, with a very cohesive graphical style, sorta like a 2-bit 30's rubberhose cartoon
wow, I hadn't even considered this avenue for making a game, really innovative. It's like a low tech version of a digital tabletop rpg :D
wow, really inventive way to create a minimalist exploration game. The whole atmosphere is nicely built from the sounds, the player character is making as well as the environment.
I can't seem to run it, it says its not made for 64-bit office :/ Screenshot 2022-04-09 020939.png
Amazing game, the tutorial is well put together, the mechanics are easy to pick up and yet really difficult when you get into the thick of it. The graphics are really minimal and works well with the artstyle, concept and thumping music :D
It doesn't seem like there's a cheating strategy, like there sometimes can be with jam games. It's really inventive and well made.
What an amazing game, wonderful humor, great music, really stressful gameplay :D. Loved the graphics and style.
really solid andd something I want to see more of :D the controls were a bit difficult, when I had to put down something, but other than that, great game :D
Still not the worst neighbor I've had... fun game, I was surprised that the trash collided with each other it added a bit more strategy trying to hit trash in the air so it'd bounce.
haha amazingly fun :D the music is a great fit for it. I'd love if I could see the offending message :/
The writing is great, really on point.
amazing atmosphere from the music and graphics :) It's a nice humorous comment on the famous quote. Also really great to see another Gamemaker dev :D
I like the concept of being a small drone moving tiny bits of data. It's really difficult to get the hang off, I feel like some pieces are almost impossible to grab. The graphics are pretty godd and the platform swaying slightly when moving is a nice touch :)
loved the game, it felt really finished. The cause of deaths notices made laugh a lot :D, great job!
I would like to see a more densely populated area, maybe powerups and someother way to extend your life. But This is just if you're considering making this into a full game :D
:'( wow, great work, I honestly want to give it 5 stars across the board, but it feels wrong to give it 5 stars for "Fun" :(
wonderful concept, loved the goblin design and music especially
Amazing and fun :D the first time was really confusing, UNTIL I looked up, and saw the F#$@ng moon approaching at an alarming rate. The funny messaages at the end is great, the weird potions and the frantic gameplay is a great mix :D
thank you so much to all the great feed back :D @skruffye ah you've probably mistaken the V and Y (yeah the font choice is one thing I'd change as the first thing)
thank you for all the amazing feedback :D @wouter52 @radmccool @minidavid @boclow @chairshot-games @ricardopino @toto-dawg @senso @zimny11 @tsugumi @postpostscript @mrbrainfed @dactarium @cosmicallity
I'm really glad that people got the vibe I was going for, there's definitely a lot of changes I want to make, a lot of additions too. But honestly I am thrilled that the core/heart of the game still came through. I'm definitely looking forward to Ludum dare 51 now :D
OBS! really important, Neither I nor the game recommends fucking your boss wife or telling him/her about it.
I get a very stanley parabel-"ish" vibe from this, the voice lines really made me laugh great job :D
huh... this is a really great concept, I also love me some wordle before each hurdle so this was trefpec for me ;) also my score was shite so I'm not posting it :P
very cute and relaxing, it kindda reminds me of mobile games :P I really missed some kind of collector/auto clicker, really well polished game :)
Really impressive graphics and presentation. It's really smart how the the "lifebar" is also the terrain :D
love the artstyle, really well put together, and the sound and music was both excellent chosen as well :)
The gameplay was a bit frustrating since I just ended up with zero money and passports and force, while I had like 15 persuasions XD It took 11 days for the government to win. I like how the mechanics show the difficulty of handling protests, they mostly don't want persuasion but actual materials (like money or passports) or they will react to force. I feel like a more fleshed out game, would react differently to what you gave. Like if you used a lot of force, then later more people would show up and so on. Really interesting concept :)
Really fun and fast paced. I second everything that @red-stake says, (I even think we died on the same wave XD)
took me 49 loops. Really inventive and smart puzzle idea
same for me as @mbrezu :(
Ah yes, the life of the everyday working man, where coins and beating hearts are strewn across the street and lava bubbles up every ten seconds. Where the only two other entities is a woman who eats hearts exclusively and a bank. It has a really nice OG webgame vibe, really good entry :D
really cute and upbeat atmosphere, really fitting graphics too :)
Really inventive. Originally I found it quite difficult, until I realized that the space button let's you respawn at your boat with no penalty it seems. It reminds me alot of newgrounds flash games, good job :)
@gildar76 mate we've aaaaaall been THERE XD just be glad it wasn't some integral fortune 500 software and instead just a game jam game, besides it made me laugh :D I just imagined the diver having somekind of star-trek device with them that would go off whenever :P
I like the swapping of the enemy and the player mechanics, it forces you to think a bit ahead. The last enemy's attacks is a nice bit of inversion of the mechanics, really clever way to tell a story. It is quite barebones so there isn't alot to talk about, but what is there is a very smart little nugget :)
Most stressful golfing game I've played in a while XD great job!
I liked the Warioware idea of a bunch of minigames within a 10-second limit, also I suck at Warioware games XD
Really fun idea, I like stealth game, but it was difficult plan out any route/strategy.
there's some kind of bug, I can't seem to buy or place any units :(
I liked it, really incredible that you did it in 2 days. The ending was actually quite chilling. Very good work.
Hauntingly beautiful, love the music. The way you use the UI is incredibly inventive and smart. It's kind of like if a an adventure/puzzle game were a poem :)
Sweet message at the end <3, I liked how you've interpreted the theme and your presentation is really well made :)
really trippy and fun, also loved the giant floating head, it really caught my eye!
Wow amazing presentation, sound mixing, music, absolutely 5 stars across the board!
I really like the sprite design of death :D Even with the scythe fix I had a lot of issues, and I don't know if it was me or the game, but I experienced some weird collisions and I couldn't quite get the timing of the scythe.
was the beast ever in cage I wonder? Was I in the cage all along? what a great, really engaging game. The writing was really good.
really beautiful and sombre, I really liked the minimalist gameplay/controls. I tried to play it one more time, and for some reason I was able to skip to the last puzzle :O But bugs aside, it's honestly really impressive that you made all of this in such a short period of time, (also great interpretation of the theme :) )
Great game idea, it's interesting to see how the different bars goes completely out of sync. Really interesting concept, it was a bit stressful/panicky at times. I also noticed how I ignored that I was on an actual travel of an alien he planet just to keeping the machine going.
Really good retro game feel. Also unforgiving and punishing retro hard XD
ahhh the mighty wizard brought down... by a friggin snail. It's really well implemented mechanics, the graphics and character design of the wizard and his assistant is really lovely. Generally it's really well polished and really impressive. Really fun and chaotic gameplay :D
Once I figured out how to aim and fire (*HINT* you can basically draw unlimited amount back and aim straight ahead ;P) i was a breeze, then I went down into the comments and saw you could kill player 2 so I had to try THAT XD great additional mechanic.
I like the interpretation for the theme. It nice that it has a lot of escalation for each level :D
The artwork is really nice for this game, but it's really difficult to play because of the controls/prompts which makes it very punishing to get past the first 10/20 seconds, oh well... I guess I can strike off "robot maid" from my list of possible future careers :'(
Wow, amazing that you had time to put in a tutorial. It gets really frantic really fast, who knew that managing snails could be so hectic? :D great visuals all the way through and through. I loved the mumbletalking audio you gave the snail mayor :D great game :)
ME ANGY. ME HIT BOX WITH MAN. BOX WITH MAN BREAKS. ME STILL ANGY.
I remember seeing a blog post about this game doing the game jam period and looking forward to playing it. You know that kind of gut feeling where you know somethings gonna be good? :) And it was right once again. Really great and fun I managed to earn 77$ before I was sacked. (also some of those customers were a bit... hmm... odd, like 3 patties and nothing else...)
Got it on my second try :D that dumba** serialkiller killed one guy with a knife but they were completely isolated >:D But seriously, really inventive take on the theme. Also good grief! just cancel the friggin dinner party... -_-
great job, it was really fun and carthatic. I liked the upgrades for the different dice rolls :D
Really fun game, some of the weapons are waaaaay more useful than others, when I got the scythe at around 100+ points, I died almost instantly from the huge swaths of shaking robots (I also found the robots really funny xD).
The gameloop is really tight and it has a good game feel :) good job!
great game, really REALLY tense, probably the most tense typing tutor I've ever experienced XD. Loved the point and click gameplay mixed with the typing and time mechanic
Holy shit XD I laughed way, wayyy hard when playing this game. Really fun XD
beautiful experience!
Great artstyle, really inventive idea
Wow, what an amazing game, a really great execution on an interesting interpretation of the theme. the pulsing sonar would constantly alert me of monsters. I can't help but wonder what kind of world this is, who are we? why are mining Tuskium (also what is Tuskium?) It has a really dark and broody atmosphere
@disperse are art games?
@SimplePotential yeah 😅 I wasn’t even sure what it was in the end
@cosmonautical HEY THAT'S CHEATING! XD
@josephldooley ah, a true gamer connoisseur, I tip my hat at thee.. pog
@rafale25 we all do sooner or later pal :|
@kuggenhoffen just being yourself is a huge W in my book :thumbsup:
@ehon ÅRT
I really like the simple graphics, it reads very clearly, it's a bit tough to maneuver the ship as more and more shapes show up, or maybe I just suck :P
really fun idea :D but sadly I had huge trouble playing it :( It doesn't seem to like my graphics card so it lags down to like 1-2 fps. Really nice presentation tho.
really good artwork and the music works really well, I had some trouble navigating the map at times, because of some weird hitbox issues :/ still really good first entry :)
bzzzz BZzzz I'm a good worker drone :) It is a fun little arcadey kind of game, definitely perfect for this kindda theme :D It got really hectic but at the same time, it had such a happy vibe to it.
Really nice and well made :) the dimensional changes create really fun challenges. I do have to admit that the spikes hit boxes felt a biiit too big. At times I felt like I was being punished before I had even touched it (I think you're using a rectangle/square hitbox for the spikes).
It was very difficult to wrap my head around the mechanics of the game and I died alot XD very inventive take on the theme :)
Great game, I liked the music and how it turned static when the radio malfunctioned, I would love more audio/graphics clue when things went wrong. It got really hectic and fast as time went on and I ended up dying from sadness. (just like real life :P)
Really fun and fast paced, I really missed some kind of upbeat bit tunes :D It's a really great entry, even more impressive that this is your first game entry :D
love these kind of coding games, wonderful idea! :D nice presentation and a really impressive first entry! :O
Really fun and innovative deduction mechanic. There was actually alot of thought put into this puzzle and I LIKE that. Also I'm a dummy so I didn't catch my husband, but at least ignorance is bliss :)
I really like the faces on the different customers and the boss. It's a very clean and easy to understand game for the most part, I was surprised at the shop mechanic, but it ended up helping immensely. Good work!
great game :D It's really addictive like the flash games of yore, ah memories :P
really interesting idea, the constant rotating was suuuuuper disorienting but I mean... that's probably how a fly experiences the world (I dunno man).
In the end I was unsuccessful in preventing him from pressing the button :( it felt upsetting in the sense that he didn't even seem affected by the fly in the end. :( alas... at least Ukraine is kicking ass IRL :D
I can't play the game, it just shows a blue screen and some of the UI :/
@lintfordpickle ah cool :) great work, now that I've tried it, it's quite diffult, but also really fun. the graphics are good and for the most part easy to read. There's a couple of buildings where I weren't sure where the collision box were, but it was easy enough of to remember after the collision. :)
wow :O the art and sounds are absolutely stellar! really fantastic job. The gameplay is really fun and tense
Really cute and fun, it was fun to figure out the puzzle with the fire. the graphics are really charming and appealing. I liked it a lot :) great job
very well thought out mechanics, it can drag on a bit, especially in the beginning where I got a bunch of merchants, but the Assign in the kitchen mechanic saves it a lot. Great work!
Edit: I'm number 10 on the scoreboard :D
Impressive work, a bit jank, but honestly I've played NES games that have had waaaay longer dev times and way more bugs.
This is a nice intricate example of city building mechanics :D great job!
It takes a while to get the hang of and the controls/gameplay is a bit janky. It does have a lot of charm and a really fun presentation and an innovative idea :) The whole summary of events, when you die made me giggle. good work!
Cutest game I've played at LDJAM52. Absolutely amazing presentation, stellar work! 10/10
this feels like a demo for a finished game already :D really well polished, incredibly smart mechanic with harvesting the same crops you've been cutting down when fighting the crows. A+++
really well polished entry, and I'm really bad at it XD
really smart and original, I loved the text highlighting showing what letters were missing from the commands :D
Really good idea for the theme, it really feels like a vast empty desert with sparse resources, I don't particularly agree that there should be more resources or that it should be _*that_* more difficult to gather resources.
Give seeds to Frøg, plant seeds, fight seeds, get seeds, repeat. Then tæntåckles show up :( Really well made,you've made a pretty intricate system in a very small amount of time.
I can't seem to run the game :( it crashes on launch ld52 - crash.png
lol XD, the graphics and sound efffects are great, the music is a bit monotonous. It's a really funny setting too btw.
harvest.png
Why yes, I didn't read the instructions that carefully and didn't try and stack the things XD really fun idea and great interpretation of the theme
It has the feel of like a super action packed stardew valley :P really well made, there's some trouble with gameplay sadly, no matter what I can't seem to craft anything, no matter how many ressources I've collected, but I honestly think it has a lot of potential :D also the graphics and music were really good and catchy!
It's a really fun concept, while a bit janky with some collisions and button presses it turned out to be quite entertaining :) I have to agree with @pndaa that I didn't feel particularly challenged at any point during the game, but honestly rather too easy than too hard.
Also the art was a bit mixed, some of it was really good, but other felt more like a placeholder. The sound effects for the organs and the tools were really great btw! good job!
really charming and fiendishly clever, I would like more explanations for the different effects and maybe a growing "board" but it's really good what's there. Great job! :)
pretty smart concept, but a bit barebones. Still There's a lot of potential here. I loved the low-poly graphics and the first time the harvest happened I laughed since I was expecting like a combine harvesteer or tractor or something :D
really cute, the upgrades was a bit barebone functionally, but it worked really well :) great job (also I can't seem to rate the game :/ )
neat idea, but it does have some issues in it's implementation, still, shows a lot of promise :)
Fish fear me, women want me. I am death incarnate. Also, I actually played this game for a surprisingly long time :laughing: the graphics were really nice and easy to read.
This is definitely the best looking game I've played so far, it's really impressive
really clever idea, both in applying the theme and the actual mechanics of the game. I agree with @plusminus that there's potential for a mobilegame/casual puzzle game here :D
cute graphics and tight controls, very beep boopy :D
Alas I wish there were more games where you controlled a hedgehog spindashing :pensive:
The only thing you need to add is audio, this game is really impressive and well made.
Big fan of ASCII graphics :D welcome to LDJAM!
Really fun and clever interpretation.
Is weirdly hectic :D nice and easy controls, and easy to understand mechanics. I got 740$ on my first 5 minute farming.
Thank you so much for all the feedback :D there's a lot of great ideas, and honestly I wish I could've included them in this version of the game!
@bowen I def agree, that it is a bit too random and I _really_ wish that I've could have implemented some kind of model that distributed the stats more interestingly/better.
@cloistered no >:D
@jack-bingham Oh I def agree that it should reset or sell the dataset already collected. This was a basically me forgetting.
@zbugba Oh I agree, I messed up the screen size >_> I should just have doubled it up.
@kizilejderha tbf, data science is more an art than a science :P also no, the "one in a million" doesn't sadly appear with a one in a millionth chance :( I'm def keeping that in mind for future projects!
@papabirb THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU'RE THE BEST :D :D I am a noob to Godot and I definitely have A LOT of rough edges with regards to Godot exporting templates.
Concerning the gameplay and design, I definitely agree. There's a lot of things I would do differently, the UI was mostly done on the fly and it totally needs more iterations.
Also thank you to everyone else who've played, rated and left a comment, I read them all and learning a ton! :D
EDIT: and now the bugs have been fixed, I'm not gonna change anything else tho, this is what I managed in 72 hours :P
Really cool, I love cultist simulator. For this kind of project you really want a lot of flavor text and writing, also fixing possible grammar/spelling mistakes. It's really impressive and appreciated that you managed to get a good tutorial into this game :) good job!
Great writing, loved the retro FPS look to it all :)
Amazing idea and gameplay, it's really funny :laughing:
I love a good investigation game, and the artstyle reminded me of Professor layton a bit, really nice. I guessed the right murderer, but I'm not sure __*why__* they were the murderer or how I should have found out.
really charming, it felt like I was playing a childrens book.
This is super cute and fun, the art and animation is super fitting and the music is fun.
Lol, funny idea, really reminds me of the flashgames of yore :D It's a really good first entry, good job :thumbsup: sadly I can't seem to rate your game :(
Love the concept and controls, it's really fun and difficult to scale the mountain.
10/10
very chill and well made puzzle game, it does have the same kind of frustration as tetris where you're just waiting for that *ONE* piece. I would have liked to have seen some kind of consequence for deleting blocks or letting them slip through to the right.
It's a great take on the theme and it has a very rewarding gameplay loop. great job!
What wonderful game, really tight designed. I'm tempted to make a frogger comparison/joke, but mechanically it has more to do with asteroids. It's quite challenging to aim where I'm going to jump to, but also where the lilypad is going to be at. The fly was being quite evasive too, I really only managed to eat 3 or 4 max!
really nice idea, it took me a while to notice that the game board was shrinking. Really elegant design :)
devilish challenging, but really fun
oh no, I'm terrible with scary games and hectic games. :( It's very well executed, but I did find it very difficult (since I'm a tiny baby :( )
Ok the idea is honestly super funny, but my god is this game hard and unforgiven. This is like "I wanna be the guy" and Various Mario Rom hacks. I just barely, BARELY got 2 doors open.
an interesting observation btw, as soon as you hit the spikes once, then you've basically spend too much time recovering and you're guaranteed death. you might want to think about an instadeath hitbox trap thing, or maybe give the player recovery frames with increased speed.
Amazing interpretation of the theme, holy crap, I've rarely loathed another person as much as my coworker when he just kept piling cars in.
cute game, fun twist that the "squares" begin to disappear when you step onto them
really fun idea, It reminds me of mini metro :D
ok... so the ldjam player (AGAIN is having trouble with godot and this time I can't seem to find a fix (if anyone knows let me know!) in the meantime I'm just uploading it to itch.io.
@jiri-one Thank you for the feedback :D
@gawain-doell wow thank you for the amazing feedback, this is honestly some of the most detailed and well written feedback I've ever received for any creative work I've made. I do agree that the gameplay is not the most entertaining, but at the same time it's also very close to the mark of what it's emulating.
@kanity thank you so much for the feedback :D It's pretty impressive that you just memorized the encodings XD I had to look them up constantly, so I thought it would be waaaay to difficult to just memorize.
what a charming presentation and world, everything felt really cohesive. It felt like the abrupt stop of the decelerator did remove some of the challenge of the game for me, but at the same time, when I tried to not stop I bumped into a lot of things so it might be smarter to have it than to not have it.
really funny idea, probably one of the best christmas themed games ever.
Very sweet and cute, It reminds me of picking up a favorite book from ones childhood. It has a very dreamlike quality to the plot, good work :) the audio was nice, but I did miss some longer periods of rest or something to kindda contrast the rest of the song.
got ending 3 and 4, what the?... O_o why did the witch start to argue with the fishman creature? this was very funny, but I don't really understand all the cultural references... maybe?
cool interpretation of the theme, instead of exploring the limits you are the limit. Really interesting. I can't give you a rating :/
It gave me those glimpses of feeling like a genius when the circuit finally worked. It's a good take on the theme.
It's clever how it forces you to split the wires up, you really can't run them parallel for long, if at all. I liked the spacey music and the audio was quite fitting.
A great way to escalate the challenge further could be colour coding the electrical signal as well (if you are interested in taking this idea further)
Not gonna lie, the thing at the end (not gonna spoil it) made me go "WTF!". Great idea, but I do think it feels very floaty/iceskaty for a platformer, at times she simply moves too fast. The graphics were very pretty and the character design is really good. (although I'd love some context about WHY you were in a tomb to begin with)
really impressive and moody, but after the introduction and death of the captain on the radio. I can't seem to "connect" to any other channel than channel 1. Am I missing something?
Good take on the theme and very inventive, the music is fun too and the graphics look great :D The game itself is very, VERY hard to play if you don't know flag semaphores. the fact that you can only click the Alphabet box (the ? in the top right) in between words makes it not that useful. I didn't get a single word without cheating (basically having two monitors and unity "pauses" the game when you stop focusing on the window)
The first words should be shorter and limited to a certain subset of letters. As it is, it doesn't teach so much as test if you know the entire semaphore
Really impressive and well made, this is outstanding.
My only criticism is that some of the later levels REALLY ramp up the difficulty level, the screenshot is from the 4th(? maybe) level. Skærmbillede 2026-04-23 063545.png where it's borderline impossible to double jump because of how low the double jump aura is. I couldn't get past it. Aside from that complaint, I really love the level of polish (and I loved the yellow warning triangles being the "spikes" XD )
I can always appreciate a man with a vision and there are vision in spades here. The concept is interesting and a good fit for the theme. It's just very hard to understand the goal and how to achieve it (at first I shot lasers at ever radiation scan and kept losing)
I think this game would benefit from just a few screenshots and a base explanation of the goal. I don't want to discard the game, since there's some interesting ideas about investigating and following a lead that's neat.
Really challenging but fun and charming.
Really fun concept for this theme, the graphics (both 2d and 3d) are great. But actually getting the birds to do what you was nigh impossible. I would try and turn them 180 degrees and they would just turn left 90 degrees and then back 90 degrees. The move signal seemed to just randomize them and I could not for the life of me make smashed cucumber salad.
I think it should be more deterministic what happens. (i.e. the birds move one tile over, they always turn clockwise etc.)
It's really well made and compelling, with funny writing, but it's just too hard for me.
Really inventive movement mechanic. It's so simple to grasp and yet SO challenging. The music is weirdly disorienting, which kind of adds to the games difficulty. the Upgrade system is great, but I often died before ever getting to Wave 1 T_T
I found it quite challenging to remember what I've already pressed and for how long. It's a good concept and the graphics are pretty fitting too.
this game does a lot with very little, the audio/bg music is probably contributing the most to the building tension, but the writing and graphics are also helping a lot. I almost started to imagine that something moved when there never was anything moving/changing. The scanning mechanic is really impressively implemented. Great job all around.
Cool concept and a great fit for the theme, but I could not figure out when the traps would be shut. Somehow I got through level 2, but I could not figure out what I was doing wrong.
Could someone in the comments explain how the traps actually work. Because I couldn't get them to reliably be shut no matter the channel signal.
I liked the graphics and the audio was fine.
Really impressive and clean design and presentation. I especially appreciate the tutorial in the beginning, that's quality!
The whole presentation really works too. Great job!
Funny presentation and writing.
This is the funniest game I've played this Jam so far. The mechanics are simple but well explained/introduced through gameplay. My ONE nitpick is that the signal needs to hit the very top of the antenna which was a bit weird to figure out at first.
It's a good game, but stenography puzzles are incredibly hard. I think there's missing a "punishment"/consequence for protecting a target when there's no attempt.
I got them all on the first try, but not all of them were, well equally earned.. :P (I also protected on the false alarms)
The presentation is pretty good and the writing is very funny, so great job :)
Interesting setting, but very hard to understand since there's no instructions. The graphics can sometimes be a bit hard to tell what its supposed to be, which does add to the mystique of the whole thing. Some of the text was so low res I misread the letters. Great concept once I "got" it :)
Curious little game, my biggest suggestion is having the "interact" button be a toggle instead of having to walk away from the thing. It was especially annoying when I was exploring at first thinking I was stuck.
The puzzles were fine, not too hard, also I genuinely thought the colours in that puzzle with the braille would mean something.
The writing in the game was good for a short jam game.
Lol this is a pretty funny and silly game XD It just has this weird charm to it, I can't explain.
Very challenging and difficult. The sprites/glyphs are very recognizable so that's nice, but the time limit seems very short (or maybe I'm just panicking easily) and the fact that there is no "lives" but immediate death when you misclick.
It's a nice minimalistic game though, great job.
Visually it's probably the most interesting game I've played so far. The mechanics with storing a colour/state/beat is a bit hard to grasp. It's a very harsh punishment to go ALL the way back whenever you die, also it's very hard sometimes to avoid being touched.
interesting idea, I'd love a visual element to accompany the audio clues, some kind of pulse/colour maybe. Also I'd REALLY like a music volume control, so I could better hear the audio clue and not the thumping music (which was otherwise good btw :) ) It is really polished and well made for 72 hours, good job :)
where's the game? :/
Very reliant on the sweet blessings of RNGesus but that's par for the course for a lot of these arcade style games. Very nice Presentation and gameplay, I just wished that there there was an upgrade shop or something that gave the player more of an incentive to keep playing instead of resetting to zero every time.
