LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Defuse in under 5 by Darylsteak 2020-10-06T07:57:29Z

I've seen this concept of using your ghost clones to progress a level done before, but this iteration of the idea is *really* solid. The short timer for the bombs keep you on your feet and make for some short and snappy play sessions.

As a bonus, the graphics, music, and sound effects are really pleasing to look and listen too. I also particularly like that you can see the formula use to calculate the score at the end.

As for negatives, I believe the rest of the comment section has taken good care of the matter.

Overall, very good entry!!

WHEW! What a challenging game! Perhaps a little too challenging. I feel like some of the mechanics could be balanced a little better, since it was almost impossible to steer well enough outside of a planet's gravitational reach to be able to reach the more distant planets.

Other than that, this is an incredibly well made game with a very cool use of the theme and some really really interesting mechanics. Can see myself coming back to this one!

Very great game! Interesting, fun, and challenging. The mechanics take a little while to get accostumed to, due mostly to the fact that you have limited robots, which is fun.

One little thing that confused me on the keyboard and mouse version is the control scheme. Normally you would use E to interact, but in this case it was for rollback. That confused me.

But again, other than that, very fun!

Damn is this a challenging game! I couldn't complete it, but what I played of it was stellar! The music almost seemed to align with the rhythm of the gameplay at times, which felt really really cool.

The game mechanics are really really cool and interesting and they make for some fast-paced and enrapturing playsessions.

Excellent work!!

Very fun and challenging game! The atmosphere is excellent and very well realized!

The looping aspect of gameplay is very cool and in-theme. But the way you immediately appear at the top of the screen, where some alarm clocks may be littered, without any concrete indication of where you'll appear horizontally, makes it a little too unforgiving. Maybe an indicator could help?

In any case: awesome game!

Very cool and entertaining game! Although, as others have said, the prescreen to the levels becomes grating after a while. It turns gameplay frustrating, in my opinion. Also, I didn't realize that you could doublejump until it was prohibited by a rule? I don't know if I got blinded there for a second and didn't get the memo, but maybe it'd need to be made more apparent.

Other than that yeah! Fun and addictive puzzle-platformer game! The graphics are nice and the sound design is very pleasing! Good job!

@the-enigma Thank you! And it's not intentional, no! Did that happen at the beginning of the game? Was it after clicking on the "Start game" button? Was the Reset button greyed out?

@mikew Thank you! As a matter of fact, I took inspiration from the planetary model of the atom for this! I wanted to have some kind of allegory for I don't know a nuclear core and alpha radiation but it fell through. I want to continue iterating upon this so maybe in the near future I'll introduce more mechanics!

Thanks for the feedback!

@jdeedubs Thank you!!! I'm glad you liked the graphic design because I spent a while on it. And yeah the SFX was the part I was most unsatisfied by on the final product, because I didn't find an effective way to effect volume in time.

Thanks for the feedback!

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Catch GEMS all by Panzershrek 2021-04-28T08:08:07Z

Really simple game but its simplicity absolutely works on its favour. The controls are intuitive (although it took me a second to realize), the gameplay is smooth and fun, and the graphics and audio are delightful. Amazing game!

Super Boring by perpetuaReality 2021-04-27T19:24:23Z

Yeah, that's true! The scrolling does get faster over time, and I meant to make it faster in the beginning, but I didn't get around to it. Maybe in a future update!
