Love the animations and style! As others have said I thought it would have sped up as time went on. Would have been cool if the buttons each had a unique sound. Though I appreciated how the sound queue helped know which general area to look in for the button. Thanks!
Hey nice lil game! I like the simple style and the movement is pretty smooth. I think the pace of the game is kinda slow and since the mushies are hard to aim it takes a few tries which makes the slow pace a little frustrating. Also you could make the music a little longer and loop it cos it's cool! Cheers
Really cute music and visuals! This is a very cohesive experience, the transitions are great and everything realy goes together well. Nice job! Would like to see more levels and elements added in!
So stylish! Love the art and the title font/instruction screens. Motion is great lots of detail in the scenes and the sound is really good too. Wish there was more and a lil story. Might help to lock the mouse to the screen bounds since mine kept popping out when I was shaking it. Thanks!
This is pretty clever. I like how getting killed makes the game easier/vision better although it's super hard to rotate in time even if you have vision hahah
NOoooo the lil chicken it's too cute i cant take it. This is exceptionally polished, the music is really good - (nice mixing whoever that was). The gameplay loop is fun but I think it could do with some more variation and perhaps a mode with 100x more cute chickens running around? Anyway thanks! Solid entry
That was surprisingly effective! The hook made for some good puzzles. I actually like the simple style. Like Thomas was alone in 3d hehe. You could keep the visuals simple and just add some more effects/music/mechanics and you would have something pretty solid!
Did you make the music too!? I left the title screen open just to listen to it haha. That was fun! Nice entry. The visual style is cute and I love the feet - very monty python. The lil guys sword swing was kinda hard to get right, a bit more feedback would be good so we can see if we are hitting the enemies. And the controls screen at the start was a lot of text in one go. I think it would be better to introduce the controls slowly through a tutorial level as they were a bit awkward. I feel like using E to enter and exit and also pickup/drop would be more intuitive then when you get to the keep the lil guy can automatically drop the stuff off then you dont have to worry about pressing the wrong thing and going in by mistake. Aaaand i think the keep aiming could just be done with the mouse. Anyway that was a lot of feedback lol. Thanks!
This is real cool, i love the visual style and particles! Also the radar was a great touch. I found myself using the radar to try clear enemies with rightclick before they got too close so it was good that it pushed the player ship back otherwise it would be too OP. It was a bit hard to aim with the mouse since the green aim dot was so close to the player. It would be cool if there was a cursor that followed the mouse that the ship turret looked at? Not sure if that would make it too easy tho. I have a real soft spot for twin stick shooters haha. Would be cool to see this with more story and world building stuff cos i like the aesthetic
How does this not have more ratings! It's great! The music was epic! Did you compose it all in 3 days cos that is impressive as heck. (What did you use for the music? Software/vst wise?) Also the visuals are beautiful, has a real Gris feel even the animation of the dress/cloak. The foreground of the level was pretty block-y I think you coulda gone for a more drawn/painted look and then made the colliders blocks underneath - that would have kept the style more consistent. For me the text was a bit hard to read - it was a bit glitchy and squashed. +1 for toss a coin reference damn u
This is fantastic! One of my favourites so far! It's super hard so would have appreciated a minimap so i could catch the fires early. Also those other drivers are insane and want to die
Was following your stream a bit! This is great i love the recorded voices bahah also just love the body horror aspect
Hey nice effort! It was pretty hard to tell which direction it was going to shoot but I'm not sure if that was your intention lol. Also I think you can fly offscreen forever? Not bad!
This is hilarious and chaotic and the music lmao. Nice entry thanks!
This feels so much like the old game n watch! I think the bushes could have been just black like the deer and the intro icon too just to keep the illusion consistent. The funny poses are good too. My best score was 720 ish but it gets pretty hard after that haha. Thanks!
This is really good! It would help if when you cant place a tile in an empty space there is something there to show it's locked. The level of polish is amazing though nice work!
This is super cool, love the shiny/plastic-y look and the the screen in the back. It really sells the aesthetic!
Really nice game, I liked the storytelling, overall concept, and art style, fits very well with the mood. It felt quite polished for a game jam! I agree with the comments so not much to add. I'll just say that I did understand what items to pick, but was hard to find the ones I wanted. So yea a mini map or some arrows would have helped a lot to not feel helpless in the strategy. Also didn't understand why I won haha I didn't see the transition to a happier character. Great entry overall! Could easily be a finished game with more transitions towards an end, but the concept is quite solid, so I hope it will become one :)
This is so cute. I love the chill music. I got 1220 but only because I tried to save the fox thing and blew up hahah nice job!
Damn those arsonists got legs. This feels a bit imbalanced which was frustrating as I wanted to play it more but it's super hard! I wish the arsonist bastards would run away without getting stuck on stuff then just coming straight back. Maybe they could flee after a few times scaring them but then coins could disappear after some time so you can camp the tower a bit but it's better to venture out. I love this concept tho. it would be cool to be able to drive to new locations in some semi-open map and stop at places for upgrades/story. I mean I know this is about 5G but the idea of a driving defense game seems legit!
Beautiful title screen and music! The controls are too floaty for the level of difficulty which made it a bit frustrating but maybe that was intentional? Nice work!
omg the gnome sounds where demonic. i love it nice color palate too!
It's been months now. The car has stopped spinning and I can only just see the road. My child is dead. And soon I will be too. At least I have these keys to play with while I wait for my inevitable doom...
Capture.PNG
This was awesome but the display threw me off - wouldn't a halved clock speed mean it flashes slower? I thought my solution was wrong cos it seemed to flash quicker? Anyway cool entry! Very unique
Hey nice game! I like how the steps feel heavy and also those legs are hilarious. The audio was clipping hard most of the time so you could prop just turn it down a bit. Needs more upgrades! I was unstoppable at the end just stomping everything. You could add stuff that can't be stomped to force the player to shoot. Also a jump and slam attack would be amazing lol
Hey nice entry! The portal effects were awesome. I agree with what was said above about the jumping so not too much else to add. I think the mood of this one is the strong point!
This is sooo cute. I felt bad when it died :( Really nice idea! I agree with the idea of turrets and more static defences!
Hey just wanted to say thanks for sharing those little stories. It's sad that change is part of life and people come and go (well change is necessary and inevitable and can be good! Buuuut it's still sad). Hope you, A and B all find happiness!
Damn this is a good entry! I love the potential for clever gameplay here. I think the movement and controls need a bit of tweaking to feel right but this is great. You can so much cool stuff like taking over bigger and more powerful hosts, moving them around but keeping them alive to do stuff for etc. Also love the music hehe
after several tries this was my best. It starts getting super hard! I like the music and little blips its super cute. I think it would be good to have some difficulty options so you can start fast and ramp up slower vs real slow and then INSANE SPEED haha.
Capture.PNG
Interesting idea not sure how closely it relates to the theme tho haha. I didn't know how best to get my rating up on holytweet i could only manage around 600 before it ran out of power!
Such a nice game! I played for quite some time, felt relaxed and wanted to have the highest score! I really liked the graphics, which played well into the overall theme. I think you nailed the mood, and I appreciated that you stated before that this game is slow. I didn't really underestand at first what to do, I was pressing on "finish" rather than "back" haha so it was confusing. I also had to read about the icons to understand them. But once I understood it was all good :). The only negative thing that kept happening once I understood how to play was that it was a bit hard to see where the shape was exactly, and even more for the tree near the forest through the window. So sometimes I would cut my tree a bit to see and remember where the outlines are. Well done overall :v:
Cool game! I liked the idea to find things around the map, and protect your thing at the same time, it kept me playing until the end. I liked your mini map, in the end I was just looking at the map to navigate and not the actual screen, but not sure if that's something bad or good haha. However towards the end the enemies just kept coming, and thought it was a bit too much , or maybe I am just sore looser :). Also thought the graphics could be improved, I didn't find it too engaging & wasn't sure what things were supposed to represent (looks like bones to me), but I understand it is hard to do! So good efforts anyway to do them!
Hey i liked the hand drawn art! It was quite hard to get around - would have loved a map to help haha. Also I wasn't sure if there was any objective I was supposed to be going for so I just tried to go down as deep as possible. It might be good if the parts each had their own health to give the player a few more chances when they hit the walls!
What how do you get the nuke in 20 mins!??? The later waves are really hard and the towers dont seem to scale their damage. This was awesome btw! Really cute, love the music, animations are slick. One of my faves from the jam! Capture.PNG
@alphazeba I kinda cheesed it by spamming plants near the tree then selling them all, buying more, selling again until I had a booming plant economy going. Didn't even venture up after the first 5 or so mins :D
Cool game! I really like the artstyle and the gereral atmosphere! For me the gameplay was nice until a certain moment where I realised I wasn't sure what was the goal, I was walking around to find things, but found it quite repetitive. So if there were more stuff to discover, maybe a bit of a story as the mood is really cool, and a clear goal (which could come from storytelling) I think it would be great! But well done overall, loved this mood!
This is so cute, i love the enemy design and voices. It was a bit hard to aim the turret and see where it was firing exactly. Maybe pulling the camera a little back or right would help?
This is a cool take on the theme! with a bit more polishing and this could be something!
I like this idea i want to see more upgrades more levels and enemies! it's like tower defense but you only have one big walking tower. i think theres a lot of potential here to keep adding stuff!
This is great! Real clever puzzles. One of the stronger entries ive played. Also lol at the ending
Nice entry! The music was cool and the character models were pretty cute and funny. I tried many times to escape my prison and flee into the black abyss away from that endless party however I could not find anywhere to clip through the walls :(
Argh the art is so good! Love the color palette and the grass on top of the lil guy. Nice attention to detail
This is sooo hard. Like the graphics! Was a bit hard to know that my attack range was so big. At first I was just running into enemies ahha. Mechanics seem tight just needs a bit more balancing I think. Cheers!
A fleshy baby came out of neil degrasse tyson puckered lips thanks i hate it. Cool entry tho very original haha. My only comment is the font is a bit hard to read. Needs more nightmarish plants to smooch
This is great! I wanna know more!! I wanna descend into the pit and uncover the TRUTH!
Ahahah can I just not keep IT alive and instead kill it with fire? This a pretty funny and dark little game :D Cool mechanic too. It got pretty frantic near the end. Thanks!
omg the graphics and audio are so good! really enjoyable. the font choice made it near impossible to read tho hhaha and as said above the scroll speed was pretty slow!
The mouse movement was so smooth even with heaps of bullets on the screen! I liked how you could make patterns with it. The shooting backwards was kinda hard to get used to also the difficulty scales up like crazy. I got lucky and got a lot of upgrades so could last a bit but in the end there we like 10 skulls on the screen and it was impossible hahah. Cheers!
Frick. This was beautiful. I love how the level layout matches/syncs with the backgrounds and what is happening in the story. Also that little burst of music at the end got me right in the feels.
Nice game! I found it easy to play and understand, just wished there were a bit of music going on :). I liked the "end" haha, that was a cool idea! I did continue until I run out of energy, so thought that was the end, also liked the fact that things became a bit more intense. Would be fun to have a way to find the energy cells, or create some somehow to keep going until it becomes too hard? Also the UI could be improved a bit, I found the text at the beginning long and hard to read, it you break it up (show the first paragraph, then press space, then the second paragraph...) it would have helped.
That was quite hard, I also just ended up standing directly underneath and aiming up since missing your shot had a big cost. You could try mouse control for the aiming like a pull back and release might work nicely? I like the vibe though the music and grainy visuals set the desert scene. Also I like the tutorial screen. It's a nice way to get acquainted with the controls in a safe environment while also having all the controls infront of your face so you cant forget. Cheers!
The artstyle in the image looks great! Any windows/html version?
Cool core mechanic, real simple and effective! I dunno if you did this already as I didn't get all the way to the end but it would be cool if the ships in the background shot cannon balls at you when it gets harder :D As others have said, I can see this being a successful mobile game with a bit of polish! Nice work!
This is pretty hard! I got to 37 but it was getting so fast I couldn't keep up. At that point the letters start to go off the edges. Might be good if they went to a new line. Also a shuffle mechanic for your current letters might be nice just to help generate some ideas.
Hey nice entry. The forest at night noises were actually really peaceful haha. I had a lot of time to sit and enjoy them though because the fire took a long time to burn down. Also I am pretty sure wood was spawning directly inside the fire at times so I didn't have to do much!
Nice! I like how the meteors looks like cookies haha. Simple concept but effective
crazy horny grandpas 10/10
This is awesome! It's so creepy. You could do an entire game with this and use text/audio for story and travel around some weird world in the dark. It's a bit hard to know where the sound is coming from and how best to shelter the flame. Maybe needs some more feedback on when you in the right place.. without spoiling the mood tho :D Thanks!
Thought the idea was quite cool & simple, and it's a good one for a first game jam! Congrats on doing it :). Some ideas I had to make it better were to make the speed of the king slower, so that you can easily keep up when he moves, add some graphics in the middle, add some storytelling (I was wandering why I am here, and thought it would be a cool story), and some sounds would be great too with some animations, and can also have some sort of levels, it would be fun to have heaps of arrows coming haha.
I like the big text in the level for tutorial stuff! The game is pretty hard so maybe some checkpoints could help to get ppl through the levels without giving up! Nice job keep on making stuff!!
This was awesome! the controls were great. I'd love to see some different tracks with corners and stuff! I lived a good life Capture.PNG
Capture.PNG
I dunno why but i really like this. I like the muted colors and the simplicity but yeah i think the mood was just chill. Also lol at the random mushrooms
YES the menu music!!!!! so gooooooood! the game is also great! reminds me or rhythm heaven a bit. really polished and super cute
That was pretty cool! Like the pixel art and music is neat
Thanks for the feedback guys! We did want to put a sign by the pit indicating that you need to throw the fruit off but also I liked the idea of players figuring is out. There are so many things to polish and tweak as we did no user testing hehehe
@superpatch thanks for playing! Yeah wasn't sure what to do with the overlapping stuff. An outline effect or maybe solid color, but didn't want to ruin the look with glowing outlines and such.
@pee-thief, @ifidamas thanks for playing haha yeah it's a bit ambiguous we would have liked to add more to help the player know what to do and also add more like.. endgame or win condition stuff but ran out of time xD
@nick-biglin the main gameplay loop ended up being quite meditative especially with the no music. I did the music at like 4am at the last minute so I couldn't do much but I had so many ideas for it lol glad u enjoyed!
@eran-haas Thanks for playing! Yeah I think the music UI is my favourite part haha. There is no win condition at the moment! I'm actually not sure the direction to take it, whether it should end up having a narrative or just be a meditative experience.
Love the music! it's so chill - doesn't exactly match how hard this gets haha. It's pretty stressful! I like the humor and the overall aesthetic :)
Hey this is neat, the particle effects - especially the leaves - are really nice. It gets pretty hard lol so I have no idea how you got that high score! The controls are tight but the player move could have a little less slide on it I think. Thanks!
This is hilarious I love how the wife just splats on the ground if you don't catch her. The animation makes it all the more funny - although I do not condone throwing of wives, or anyone for that matter in real life. :) :)
Hey i like the creepy vibe! I keep just floating around and getting stuck too though :( Some instructions in the tutorial would be good!
I love this one! It's so stressful I ended up picking the same food/music for a lot of the choices. Ended up getting to 53. Love the creepy vibes actually reminds me of Annihilation the book/movie with the whole biological aspect. :D
Love the sunglasses at night/in the dark badass backwards shooting too. Also the music fits the character blasting away mutant(?) deer hahah. Very cool. Could have a minimap or something as it was easy to get lost and there are no landmarks hehh.
Real cute guyssss would be cool if you could interact with the caravan in certain instances. Like a mobile shop or something! Thanks!
I love how cute and simple the graphical style is. The spin-y thing and the seesaw thing didn't seem to help much so i just nudged the stars in with my ship. Maybe move them around a bit to make them more useful or if the map was bigger you could have a chain of things the stars fall through, might be kinda satisfying?
Hey nice game! On my screen the ui covered the bottom layer so it was hard to see what was going on! Also the extreme difficulty is really hard haha. It would be cool to add more enemy types and abilities and maybe a short bit of text for each one saying what it does exactly so the player can decide what's best to use!
Capture.PNG :D
This is awesome. The music is so good! and the art is very cute. I love the mouse. Pretty fun and simple game! There is not much else to say haha I would have loved to be able to jump or maybe even jump between graters or like have a transition between levels where you do a dramatic jump from one grater to another. Anyway very cool thanks!
Ahhhghh so much multitasking this is stressful haha. The music and visuals are cool love the fleshy monster! I feel like it's a bit demanding of the player might be nice to have a few tries in each new task when it comes up so you dont just game over straight away when you dont know what is going on!
Neat I don't get what was so hard lol i finished in a few mins heheheh thanks guys!
Holy crap those explosions are dramatic hahha
Granny, me and whoever made the jump so inconsistent will surely meet in hell. Thanks I love it <3
Nice effort! The rooms are pretty cramped not sure if that is what you were going for but it felt like there could have been more room to move around. Also the turrets are massive haha. I think if there was more open space then the turret size might fit better. A minimap would help too cos I kept getting attacked from behind. Thanks!
The animations are so cute especially the lil squirrels. And I love how the ball welds itself to the dogs face when hes carrying it. I think it would help if you lock the mouse cursor while the main game loop is running and make it so the camera can move a bit more freely instead of just rotating around as the camera movement felt a bit unnatural. Also if the dog could move a bit faster or like run/dash for a bit that would make it a bit more easy as if you fetch the ball far away you are basically screwed cos it takes so long to get back to the feeder hehe. Oh and the robotic voice is a funny touch! Nice work!
nice job, i like the low poly planet. when you blow up the asteroids the fragments keep spinning hehe i think it would look better if they didnt or the pieces spun randomly on their own but yep pretty cute lil game thanks!
Hey nice job! It was a bit unclear what to do, I was just putting the mouse over the fish and making them disappear but not sure it was doing anything. Also I just stopped doing anything and my town never starved just stayed on the last red bar! Might be good to add a game over screen and some more feedback on catching the fish like a little sound so you know it's working!
Yeah to add to the above you said you used unity - make an itch.io account then go to where you put your unity build, put index.html, templatedata and build into a zip file and upload it to itch and you should be sweet
Thanks i hate it hahaha. Cool concept but yucky body horror. Those poor people Capture.PNG
Really cool! I really like these kind of games haha. The music & art are really good! I couldn't finish because the game crashed on chrome, but that's fine! I liked the level of details, but just for me the beginning was really slow, I wasn't sure what to do since everything was all good, I was just waiting. Then when more people came it was more fun :). Congrats guys, really nice!
Yoooooo the music is dope! And I love the concept. The driving took a while to get used to, I think the controls need to be tweaked further to get it feeling perfect. Also few bugs here and there like I crashed and it said level complete hehe. But yeah this is real cool. I think the splatter effect could be smaller actually as it didn't do much but obscure the screen also might help to have a minimap or make the camera a little ahead of where the car is going rather than lagging behind so we can see the upcoming corners easier. And the music could have been a little louder rather than the engine noise being the most prominent thing (some volume setting in the menu would fix this easily). I wish there was more content like a full animated 3d demon hand chasing me while destroying the map behind it + fiery explosions and other such chaos with pumping DnB in the background. plz make this game!
That background is awesome! Reminds me of that really old game Novastorm :D
Hey I loved the kick animation! So weird and funny. The title screen is great too cute but also creepy. The jumping felt ok but the platforms were a bit to get on like their collision boxes were a bit big? Anyway thanks was fun!
This was great. I thought I didn't feel like reading text but it was actually engaging right away :D I wanted there to be more to the story! Also cute illustrations
The music is so intense haha love it
finished in 29.20! omg that was rage inducing but very clever core mechanic. it's also cool how it makes you approach the levels in different ways every time meaning you get more mileage out of each one. Very coooool
This has original legacy of kain vibes - it's very cool :)
This is awesome! It's really compelling - I want to know more about the story/world! Really strong entry :D
Masterpiece 10/10 creepy dog man
Yooo this is cool. I like how the obstacles are actually tall in 3d space? Well I'm guess that's what they are. Gives a creepy mood like Darkwood vibes
Wild powerups and awesome music! The html version crashed for me after the screen filled up with too many lasers :D
this is suuuper good! the tension of not being able to see properly is adkljhflasdjhflakshf you should keep working on this concept!
Thanks that was beautiful :)
Hey this is really cool. Love the pixel art and how the world is build up through simply collecting and reading. It's really compelling! I think if the movement was a little faster or more dynamic it would help. Would like to see what could be achieved it was expanded - like a chill less terrifying subnautica with heaps of lore to be uncovered?
Yeah we wanted to do so much more but didn't have time! We were way too ambitious having never made a rhythm game before :joy:
@quite-good thanks! we had a whole story planned with multiple things becoming deeper and deeper but it took SO long to get the actual rhythm stuff working we could hardly do any of it :D I hope we can expand on it some time as any excuse to show off min's art is great hehe
Hey nice entry. I like the pixel art and death animations of the enemies. It was a bit hard to know what I was doing at first lol. I found a funny bug where jumping on the enemies would make them fly towards the camera :D
omg what that's original hahha
This is brutal I can't get past the small platforms in a line :@ This is such a great lil game. Does one thing really well. The only thing I don't like is how randomness is added to the bounce so it's pretty hard to know where you are gonna go. I feel like this makes it less skill based and more chance based. I had 500+ deaths trying to get past those bloody platforms and then the game crashed :D
Epic! Would love to have more camera control especially the ability to zoom right out and see everything top down? Was pretty hard to figure out the best way to win haha. Maybe the waves could be less fast?
I love this! If you add audio and some progression it would be sweet!
Amazing visuals! As others have said it's pretty hard and I think there's a gem of a game in there you just need to tweak it a bit till you find it!
Love the visuals and audio - I wish I could just ride around and not worry about falling of haha. Was pretty hard to steer between the trees!
glorious. the music is chefs kiss
I'm sad I need to spend time playing other jam games and can't spend longer on this lol. This is really fun I hope you keep working on it! I love the retro ui too.
Great visuals. They would work well in an adventure setting! Something slower paced so we can enjoy them for longer rather than racing past!
How the heck did someone get 6000+ points! That's crazy! Pretty cool entry love the audio and music!
I love how this old man is just shuffling through the woods but also packing enough magic to nuke the entire forest. I found the best strat was to ignore what the exact spells were and just spam the same keys since they all do something to every enemy! If it was more rock-paper-scissors like spells I think things would get very hard and maybe the game would need to become more slow-paced-puzzly? Awesome work!
I love spinning and then catapulting myself into lava. I also hate this experience thank u
Love the look of the mechs! Real interesting designs
Amazing I wish the chaotic part was even more crazy lol. The sudden metal is so good!
Did you make the music too? It's great! Got a really improvisational feel
This is awesome! Really polished movement and cool puzzles. Gives me megaman vibes maybe just because of the art. Nice job!
This is great! With some more polish it could be super fun. I like the idea of exploring larger worlds - like a robot noita :D
I live for this shit. Thank u please make more. OK the ending music is glorious
Damn there's a lot of stuff going on here! I think there is a lot of potential to expand on this! Also love the visuals :D
Very niceee love the chunky pixels. Satisfying shooting too!!
omg the music is perfection
:warning: SPOILER ALERT :warning: Hey nice entry! The puzzles are great and satisfying. After figuring out the mechanics of each one they became very easy so maybe new stuff would have to be thrown in to keep it fresh but that should be no problem as the layout you used is very flexible/expandable. I think some of the mechanics are pretty obtuse lol which was frustrating like how the pink dots don't need to all be in one block - that took ages of back and forth between the old puzzles. I think the easy puzzles actually fail to teach the player the mechanics because they have multiple solutions and they don't contain enough information to work out what the actual mechanic is. Like the dots one I had no idea how it worked until the very last hardest one I solved with educated guess + brute force and then realized the mechanic. To be fair it was a cool feeling to work it out myself but I think a few tweaks here and there to the early puzzles would help a lot! Loved the witness and basically anything jo blow does and this definitely has that vibe to the progression. I think the walking around and story stuff is a cool addition and tying the exploration to the puzzle solving like having to find that number clue is clever! The only problem is walking back and forth is a bit of a pain when you just wanna jump to the next puzzle. I think the witness *kinda* solves this by having similar mechanics contained in an area. Puzzle games are always a fascinating study in game design and this one is great so good job!
Nice entry! The visuals are great I think the interaction just needs a bit more feedback so you know when actions complete. I love the wordless communication too. I think this could be explored further!
This is basically ready for release on switch :D Awesome work. Very professional <3
dem colours are beautiful
@wafflecomposite hey sorry that sucks. which browsers did you try? I had a few people test before and didn't encounter this issue :(
@faux-grey haha thanks I love the original ror :D I mean the new one is cool too but i have a soft spot for 2d :D
@duck-reaction yeah the time actually loops regardless of when you join the game so it's a bit weird if you join mid way through then it's really hard. sorry hahah it was more of an experiment but I understand it's got some issues!
@guinytime @slimmerburger okaaay I've changed the settings so the lava/water wont rise if you wanna try again it should be better now :) It should just count down from 800 and then in 5 seconds it will reset instead of 500/200.
@wbertrand @tensoplast01 @kwiper @kukurammus @becky-rayner Thanks for playing! Looks like I should have put in more of a tutorial haha. I really ran out of time since the online component took a while to sort out although I think it's a bit redundant in a jam game since you don't get many people playing at the same time. Oh well xD @tohmis Yeah I really wanted it to be more about exploring and finding people to talk to in random places and have more story so there was incentive to explore! Also the camera thing I noticed too but forgot to tweak it haha thanks for trying out the game!
@energizedblast yesss dithering is so cool I love it!
@polymathld yeah it used to but then people kept dying at the very start (the timer is synced to the server so you can join when the lava is just about to rise and then it feels too fast) I think this would work better as just straight single player and have more exploration and all that good stuff!
@3mpty yeah that was another option! There are heaps really far to the sides :)
This is a fantastic entry! The only feedback I have is the aiming sometimes feels a little off since the enemies are 3d it kinda messes with you a bit, especially the ones that hover just above the ground!
Cute ai voice and cool particle effects around the screen/mouth! I think you just need to tweak the movement a bit as it was a lil janky and the camera shake moved the player hehe.
Fantastic! Love the visuals and the concept! This needs a full release :)
This is super cute. I love the lil boat and sound effects. Actually driving the boat around was really satisfying. I kinda just wanted to explore the map but I couldnt go very far! Nice entry
Holy the audio is great. what did you use? sounds like some fancy fmod shiiit cos god damn it was sounding good. Visually amazing too. The gameplay was a bit janky at times but man worth it for the overall vibe. I feel like this style is crying out to be used for some kinda scifi adventure game? Ok did the same composer work on hum? That looks sick too! Will keep an eye out for your other work!
Very impressive amount of work here! Even though you didn't make all the assets the levels were nicely put together. I love how we were basically evil and got people killed/stole shit/poisoned a guy haha. The cursor having the two things for left and right click was kinda confusing - since it appears on the left or right it feels like you are not clicking on it fully. I have been thinking of a good way to do this for a while but haven't been able to solve it :( You could have 3 cursors, one for look only, one for interact only and one for both? But yeah it's a bit tricky. Oh I didn't take note of my play time but I guess it was like 10-15 mins?
I drove a carload of people into the volcano :) I have a soft spot for these low poly games. I like how you can just drive around and do whatever. Also the car is massive compared to the houses hahah. I think it messes with your perception of distance because you don't expect it. With a few tweaks like this it should feel a bit more natural. Also the cloud things on the ground - im guessing its some kind of light cookie or mask? I think it would less distracting if it was a little less dark/sharp edged? Cool entry! Also love that the driver has a explorer hat lol
Pretty cool concept! I wish I understood more about how to play. It seems no matter what I do I can't win the timed encounter?
Ohh jumping + an angled camera is a tricky problem! Many many games have tried and struggled with this so you have set yourself a hard task :D You could add a blob shadow under the character rather than the normal shadow which can shrink when the player is higher up? And make the jump a little higher too. I dunno just copy whatever mario does haha those games are a masterclass in game design xD
Omg that fish eye is wild! Cool idea! I'm not sure how well this would work in a longer game hehe might need to have specific areas where the effects get wild and some areas which are less? I don't know if I could do 40 hours of fisheye :joy:
I awake in a bright room, in a pool of my own humanity. Faithless and itchy, I run my hands over the smooth and lavender scented walls. They must know of the gardening.. and the birds. The holy texts carved into my flesh offer no solace. I am a hollow vessel for the grey light but most importantly, no gormlins shall touch me. Nothing matters now I can only fly I can share it with noone it's beautiful the pictures of nature melt on my tongue I repent I repent I repent I repent i repent irepetnirepentirepentireptnirepent
@fae-pdf I love this very much! It is utterly compelling. I have no idea how you came up with this or where you drew your inspiration from (other than the Norse connection) but like the bird theme?? It almost feels like it's ai generated or ai assisted because of some of the unusual word choices. Do you have any other work for me to peruse?
You nailed the look and the lighting! I wish there was more. Such a cool atmosphere
what a masterpiece. i wish there were more fmv sequences!
Don't mean to be a downer but the first thing I thought of when I saw this was that bathtub scene in what remains of edith finch. God what a fking tragedy. ANYWAY cute models and love the water :D
I'm wondering who's giant human-like footsteps those were :o Did I just kill a guy??
The controls feel a little unresponsive but the concept is cool! Music is cool too!
LESSSGOOOO
Really nice visuals! Love DITHERING!!!
I knew I recognized that art style ;) I love the idea of a heavily story and atmosphere focused strategy game! This is exciting! Can't wait for the full release hehe
Fantastic! I love this very much! Fav so far <3
Did you play the "unstable stick" entry? It's kiiiiinda similar to this! I love the visuals and audio and the movement is very satisfying!
Who did the music? It's great!
This is pretty entertaining - I love the music most of all. I like to imagine it's being blasted out of the car like a nightmarish icecream man.
This is super great. Really cute lil characters and music. I especially like the bits of dialogue that hint at a larger world and history to explore. Gave me cave story vibes a bit :)
Whaaat this feels professional! Really similar to jackbox games in tone. Nice job :D
Really love the visuals of this one :) The planets turned out real nice too!
Jesus those citizens are murderous. I only made them wait a few extra seconds xD
I have no idea what just happened :joy:
I imagine a work that will finally fulfill me yet it never comes.. damn. This was inspiring! I wish there was more. Having the whole story laid out like that is fascinating. I feel like it opens up lots of possibilities for puzzles/mystery without the player getting lost since they can always return to 'nodes'. I hope you expand on this as I think with this particular format you could do a lot of very interesting narrative things!
Daaamn this one is juicy as! So much polish. Love the music and visual design. That chunky cannon is so cool makes me think this should be a raiden like shmup with big bosses and stuff. Just how the whole truck rocks back after the shot feels so good!
This is a fav so far! The bike mechanic is pretty satisfying. I feel like you could expand this out to a bike themed vampire survivors-like haha
This is sick! Love terminal based games and ascii art. I wish there was more to discover and little stories and stuff! Nice entry :)
Cute art and sound! it was pretty tricky but got the hang of it in the end. When I saw the title I first thought it was going to be like oregon trail lol
Nice and simple but these kinda things are always good fun! Also love how dark the music suddenly got at times heheh
That menu transition is sick! Spend ages just clicking back and forth haha! Pretty crazy to get a whole level editor done in such a short amount of time! Really cool and pretty well featured too. I made a cursed track - you should try it out it's called 'puck'
I love how you are actually in the cockpit - it adds so much to the feeling/atmosphere when what are essentially menus are in-world. Cool entry!
Interesting idea if a little simple :) One thing that would be nice is an option to turn down the audio as those beeps were very loud haha
Really beautiful world. I wish there was more to explore and discover!

Love the chill music. I wish the game ran while unfocussed so I could leave it on a bit. As others have said the boat is a bit slow and hard to control but the core idea is solid!
Omg the menu music is perfect. Well this is a 10/10. Nuuuuuuuuuuu it crashed on me twice. I need to know the ending of this gripping story.
OKok I finished and this is the best thing ive ever played
BA BA BA ZAhhhh. "DONT SNAP AT ME!" :joy:
A little janky here and there but I still spent far too long playing this haha. Was fun to try upgrade the boat and the dialogue was pretty funny!
despair.png
I journey across this blasted blue wasteland, chasing the infinite horizon with only the chatter of Knob AM to keep me company. I feel my sanity is slowly slipping away but I will never go back to that hellish place. May God have mercy on my soul.
Clever little game. The simplicity of the interaction is nice. Would be cool to see how far you can take it/how many mechanics you can squeeze in with just WASD
Sick menu music! It's suuuper bassy too haha. I like the birds eye view while still having some perspective reminds me of teleglitch
Thank u for this art
Slightly janky but I like the simplicity of it. Physics based stuff is always satisfying to mess around with.
Love the pixel art and the crow sound is very fitting! Nice color palette too
Love the pixel art and the music! This is a really cool idea and could definitely be expanded into something. I like the idea of having a bunch of lil adventurers running around that I can equip and level up and stuff. Kinda like a semi idle game. Also a dino/lizard thing as a delivery service is just cool
this is glorious and the UGGHHh when crashing is amazing
This is superb. Such a cool idea! I feel like this belongs in an art gallery or something
This is awesome congrats! The car and trailer movement is so satisfying I could just drive around for ages. The explosions have old school raiden vibes - love it
This is cool and there are a lot of things going on! It would have been nice to be introduced to the mechanics gradually rather than all at once (unfortunately that might turn some players off, especially in a jam setting). Also with the map it woulda been useful to just have buttons for each thing like map, gym, shop and then if you could click on the cities to select them instead of having arrows it would have been a much smoother experience. I played this for far too long - can't resist maxing that move speed
Love the music! I wasn't sure what to do after getting the dialogue but I like how the camera does this dramatic zoom just so I can watch myself sink haha
That is a very nice background - is it just a scrolling texture? It kinda looks volumetric. I dunno what the ais were up to but the seemed to looove forming a big clump around planets which was entertaining lol
noooo mooooom Untitled.png
This is great and the mechanics all work together really nicely - at first I just filled up the truck randomly but then realised I have to take the packages out again to deliver :D having to actually plan your route and then also plan how you fill the truck is really cool!
Surprisingly fun and bangin soundtrack. I think there needs to be a penalty for just spamming the pizzas cos that was my strategy lol
Love the main menu idea xD I haven't played many twists-on-tetris games but this seems like quite a cool spin on it! Interesting to think about other ways this mechanic could be expanded!
@brandon-campbell yeah it's a bit confusing sorry haha. You need to add grav engines to get it off the ground and then thrusters to make it move but you need quite a few and you will need to power them up enough otherwise their efficiency will go down
@nazorus Yeah it's so dark! I kinda like it - I tried having a 'lighthouse' building but it looked like crap so I didn't include it. But yeah some kind of structure like that might be interesting. Or perhaps have some structures that need to be in the dark sometimes?
@teadrinker aaactualy the destination is not implemented yet, I didn't have time. it's more like a sandbox atm. But off the map basically means you won :D
@elementary @buni sorry you're right it's not very clear lol but thanks for trying it out!
@frelude thanks for trying it out. It definitely needs some more helpful info or at least a tutorial haha
@frabjous-studios did middle mouse not work? I almost added another way like 'hold r and move mouse' but I didn't get time!
@rjdrag, @roblaro Love to see the other peoples build ideas! The grav engines only go to a specific height but if you build them on the bottom, the cube can go higher... it is prone to flipping though haha
@fusionnist I wanted to add some kinda help/tutorial stuff but I feel like the more mechanics you add the more things you need to explain and then the workload of making a tutorial increases ahah
Thanks all for the feedback! I'd love to keep working on it if I have time - I have so many ideas for cool ways to build that really enhance the 3d aspect like maybe you can get resources by spinning the cube at some point or like lowering it close to the ground to skim the sand for stuff :thinking:
@erlioniel oo what do you mean by fuzzy camera? You mean like hard to move to the right place? Yeah I needed to make it more clear that you had to put conduits between each haha
@3mpty Thanks for playing! And thanks for the great feedback - that's exactly what I need :)
@noahmfisher fuggeddaboudit
Y'ALL READY TO GET FUNKY??
I put on the recommended listening :) This is super cool. I love this kind of narrative game. Have you played Roadwarden? You should, it's a masterpiece. Also you could totally expand on this and release it. I'd buy it!
Nice job! I love the gameboy aesthetic. The controls feel a little stiff but I think it actually matches the old school gameboy style haha.
I love hover ship/car/whatever things! Really liked the vibes just zooming around on the ocean planet
This is beautiful. It was a little hard to tell why sometimes I got a bad result - not sure if I made a mistake or if it was just janky. Good use of minimal music and audio too real papers please vibes of course :D Could easily be expanded upon and released!
I just got ubereats and they forgot half the order so this is pretty realistic
sometimes I just boot this up at 3am
This is very ambitious! You've included a lot of features and the are pretty polished for such a short amount of time! The controls are really tight and the aesthetic is real cool. I think doing the actual building with the jetpack mode was cool but quite slow which made it hard to try/fail/iterate which I think is a core part of the fun with this kind of game. There might be a way to incorporate the jetpack in another way since it did feel good to fly around? You should check out this entry too as it's similar to yours but it's a pretty different take - way more silly lol https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/release-the-meat
The movement was a bit janky, the character kept getting stuck and so did the lil dogs. Sad cos I wanted to see an army of lil dogs scour the whole map. Even with the jank this is pretty fun and the music loop is catchy too!
I love this one. Just driving round the martian landscape is so serene and chill. The pixel textures are reallllly cool too! Love the style. I think this could work as a full game like a lowfi death stranding haha. Yeah the more I play this the more I think this needs to be expanded. Imagine like.. storms, shuttle landings with these pixelart graphics it would be so perfect
Those pirates are so cute. Love the sound effects and the music is great. Simple and effective nice job!
Cool idea, I did something sorta similar with energy networks! It was a bit hard to know what was going on - some number tooltips might help? I wanted to see exactly how much was going in and out so I could make better decisions lol
Super polished and juicy nice job!
I love the grainy visuals and this looks super cool but unfortunately I'm stuck on "adjust trajectory" I can't seem to progress from there?
Nice entry! The cloudy background is quite pretty. Also love the cats images just stuck on
This is sooo good! I laughed out loud at the audience voices :joy: Very original and clever idea good job
Cool art! I like the cutscene at the start. Pity there was no audio as it would have helped with the vibe. It was pretty hard to dodge asteroids without losing the cow. Actually that cover image reminds me of that movie NOPE haha. Nice job!
Love the visuals and music! It was pretty hectic to control everything - the combat could have been much slower paced so we could focus more on the packages and like planning what to use on what although that might not be the direction you had in mind. Nice entry!
This is pretty funny and the addition of the minimap was good although it could have been on a key closer to WASD haha. I'll never trust houses again
This is really cool - the music kinda makes it haha. It's such a mysterious vibe. Loved all the dialogue choices that you managed to get in. I think if it was a little more forgiving this could encourage exploration of the map a little more!
This is really satisfying. Kinda reminds me that quop like climbing game but this is much easier and nicer to play. It's very polished for such a short amount of time so nice work! At first I was clicking the hands and dragging but I found it was easier to click on a target hold directly - I dunno if that's cheating haha
Masterpiece just like death stranding Untitled.png
Nice entry! Was fun to slowly build up the number of birds - it would be nice if the detection of the paths was a bit snappier. I wanted to draw them very quickly but sometimes they didn't register very well and it slowed me down a bit. Cute art btw!
Pretty sure the "power of christ" melting the flesh from peoples bones was not in the book but this is canon to me now
Cute art and nice chill music. Now just need to add some more gameplay/mechanics :D
Such a cool entry! Love the idea just needs some difficulty balance as others have said :D
Love the black and white! Classic. Pretty cute lil game, had some issues with the box clipping through the floor and having to go back through the level and I thought the throw was a bit strong - might be nice to have a mechanic where you can hold throw to charge it up?
This is so cooool. Gives me deserts of kharak vibes. I love these kinda tower defense hybrid things especially if they are desert themed :D
Very tricky but eventually succeeded! These lunar lander style games are always simple and fun nice job!
MEAT! This is my fav so far I think. So fun and addictive. I love these kinda crafty-machine building games. AS others have said it could do with some UX polish but this is super good. I only wish there were more levels!
I hate birds and also old people. The core of a fun game is in there! I think if the drone control was a little more free/fast it would be a bit more exciting. I did like the art and level layout, it kinda felt like a lil adventure maybe just cos it looked like a fantasy setting even though there was a drone haha
Cool art style! particularly love the wavy flower like pupils in the eyes!
That epic landing omg. This is hilarious the animations are so good. The start throws you into the deep end a bit - might be nice to start of slow to get the hang of it?
