Map The Stars by vitineth 2016-08-29T13:03:00

Charming text adventure! Nice interpretation of the theme, lovely descriptive writing throughout.

It would be helpful to have like a "examine room"/"help" command which hints towards what are the possibilities for each room. Quite charming nonetheless!

Awesome take on the theme! Had heaps of fun! I did get stuck on level 6 though :( loved the play feature too, excellent concept!

Ancient Blacksmith by Efmi_ 2016-08-30T00:08:00

Lovely take on the theme! And great tutorial also, the idea behind the clicking is nice, just less clicking would be nice also.

The graphics were pretty cute, well done for your first time in the comp! Keep up and keep developing!

Old N' Fashioned? by tomer_cool 2016-08-29T12:49:00

Very nice, challenging platformer, funny sound effect and intro! Some animations would make the experience more immersive for sure :)

@Efmi_

Thanks for your comment! Have added a small tutorial to the description here, I am at work now so I can't change the game unfortunately :( I might add a tutorial up in the next few days though!

@lonesurvivor

Thankyou for your feedback! Shall definitely work on making that tripwire a bit more visible, and maybe giving more time in the first round so the player can get their feet! Thank you heaps :)

@Vegevan

Haha thanks so much dude! :D Yeah I just added a mini-tutorial to the description, hopefully will put up another tutorial in a few days! :)

Thankyou so much for your comments :) Gamemaker makes pathfinding super easy, like 3/4 lines of code! Haha well done! :)

@blinry Thank you for your comment! :) definitely agree there should be a better introduction to the game thanks for that :)

@Amine Tcherak thank you! :)

@Rakart Haha thankyou! wow 198 you gun!

Yeah good point, after playing it again I totally agree there needs to be more time between levels!

Thanks so much for your comment :)

Escape The Pyramid ! by Vegevan 2016-08-29T13:30:00

nice little submission! Cool theme and loved the lighting. The dodging of arrows and jumping from island to island combined with the control scheme made it a little bit difficult! Nice music and sound effects and integration with the ancient technology theme!

Roby Robot by lonesurvivor 2016-08-30T00:12:00

Very cool! Love the inventory system and the particle effects, jumping straight into the story made me want to get out there and fix the world! Well done! Loved the animations and the conversation bubbles.

A nice submission for sure!

LightBringer by Rakart 2016-08-31T21:14:00

Great stuff! Loved the progression through the levels and the puzzles, the second last level had me stumped for quite a while..

That moving moon is creepy as haha :') The graphics overall were quite nice, loved the waterfall. There was no sound which would have made it more immersive, and I noticed a bug when jumping/falling and colliding with the sides of a block nearer to the bottom of it, in which the player would just get stuck.

Overall loved it! Perfect length of gameplay for the LD

Forty Two by Diptoman 2016-08-30T07:06:00

Nice submission! Love the graphics and the intricate puzzles, very nice job for 3 days work! :) Maybe some sort of introduction screen with hints on what you are about to uncover would have helped it tie in more with the theme.

But all round great puzzle game with refined mechanics, a very nice submission!

Inventure by Mettra 2016-08-30T07:44:00

Very glad I found this! Such a clever game. The music is so peaceful, the sprites are quite nice on the eyes, and the controls are easy to grasp!

Loved the in-game hints pointing you as to how to finish the level. And the limited placing range is a great feature!

Great game, definitely keeping this one! Great effort for just 3 days.

Clockwork Dragon by wilsk 2016-08-29T13:10:00

Very nice! The mini-cutscenes with the thoughts of the dragon give it a nice bit of immersion! Sweet submission.

Hippie Horde by Spinach_Chicken 2016-08-29T13:26:00

Very funny! Loved it, fun little game to play. The movement of the cannon makes it difficult to get the hang of, I only got 50 in the end, the music made it a very comfortable game.

20000 Pixels Into The Sea by blinry 2016-08-31T08:15:00

Nice game! Not usually one for sailing games but this one was quite quirky! The music fit very nicely! It would be sweet to hear some wooshing sounds when you pick up speed! And I think I noticed a graphical glitch where the people appear above the tree leaves when they're in your boat and your boat appears below the leaves.

Great submission!
