A fun game. Excellent application of the theme. Lots of attention to small details like the music gets softened once you are inside the wall. Graphics might need some polishing. Definitely worth playing. Good job!
Amazing game. The controls feel just right for an under water scenario. Some directional hints would have been nice. Lovely graphics. Fun to play. Perfect.
The theme is spot on, I love the concept and the graphics turned out nicely. The huge paw print cursor makes navigating a bit more difficult than it should be. A mobile version with touch controls would be a nice addition. Great game, Good work!
Good idea, nice and simple. The controls need a little acceleration and damping to feel more like you are under water.
Oh, I get it: the guy lives in his own world when you play for the first time. But he is actually a psychopath. The game got stuck in the second part. But I like the idea of different perceptions of the same reality.
I like the graphics. Unfortunately I was unable to to anything but move the guy around (very slowly).
I did not rate the game. Unfortunately I could not do anything besides running and jumping. But all the worlds were empty and nothing happened. The tab key opened two empty boxes. Probably a bug in the OSX port.
Great concept and good use of the theme. Somewhat difficult with keyboard controls.
A lot of good people went to hell today. Awesome pixel art and fun to play.
Great game! Don't we still avoid the white tiles in a checkered floor sometimes? :-)
Awesome game! The connection to the theme is not immediately apparent but it is fun to play. I swear the first few wizard ghosts had a very confused look on their face :-)
Fantastique! Très belle interprétation du thème. Jolies dessins. Je veux plus de niveaux.
Alas, there is no friction in space. That is why I am not good at steering a space ship. Good game though, impressively vast universe.
Awesome game idea! Very difficult to play - but fun. Good work.
Simple game and fun to play.
Good interpretation of the theme, great gameplay. The rules are too complex to follow but just random clicking is fun.
A fun game and actually quite a challenge. The graphics are nicely done, kind of retro console style. I played more than once ;-)
I escaped Planet X! Excellent game. Luckily you keep all the parts of your rocket when you get smashed to bits.
Very nice game, fun to play. Some kind of radar would be nice to get an idea of how far the next planet is.
Nicely done. At first I was not quite sure about the direction I was facing but shooting helped :-) The movement feels kind of like gliding and collisions with your environment don't give much feedback like bumping back. I feel like the coins should not absorb your shots. And most importantly some character development like upgrades is missing.
Wow, this game is awesome! Brings back memories of back then :-) The manual itself is a work of art. Left alt to switch the terminal window was kind of annoying because I need that key for the square brackets with a German Mac keyboard. But somehow that added to the realism. It would be nice to be able to go back to a level you solved before to copy some code. But yes, learning by repetition. I can now add knowledge of up-8 assembly to my resume. Thanks guys!
Yes, this is the future of transportation! I love the unicycle idea. Maybe add some acceleration physics to smoothen the movement.
The bottle idea is brilliant. I had some difficulties with the jumping puzzle because the character controls are difficult to master.
Please explain the rules of this game. I could not do anything apart from dropping green smiley faces in a test tube.
This might be the best ld38 game I've played so far. Nice retro GameBoy graphics and matching soundtrack, the gameplay is easy to learn and challenging to the end. Magical.
Very nice graphics and a fitting though slightly repetitive background music. I was a bit lost at first because most game mechanics were unclear. I figured I can build different types of units depending on the kind of tile I am on. But what specific advantages/disadvantages do they have? Also sometimes I didn't know where to click. And I got no immediate feedback for incorrect moves just like "too many moves". Apart from that I was pleasantly surprised at the complexity and overall detail of this game.
Good work, neat idea! I ran out of light markers on my first try and it seems you can't recover them by touching. The level design seems a bit flat.
A very good game, higly polished, great art style. Controlling both robots single handedly is quite challenging and fun.
Wow, this is very impressive! I love the art style, the controls are smooth and game game is well balanced. Good work.
Great idea with the audio navigation. I solved the first few levels with my eyes closed but the maze was too hard for me :-)
Cool game, I like the retro art style. The orbs need to be lettered with their respective key codes, at least in normal mode. This game is a little more difficult to play with a non-american keyboard (z and y are flipped).
Great Tron-style artwork, very smooth controls. The aiming bugs made it kind of hard to play but it was quite fun none the less.
Awesome game. The lighting really adds to the mood. Fun to play. It lacks some character development. There seems to be an untold story behind the mysterious guardian of the last light.
Uh, nice work. I like the graphics and the sound is not all bad. Without any instructions it is really hard to figure out what to do. Click on Space debris to collect it (only the debris works, not the shooting stars or the unicorns). Build the alchemy thing to convert debris to resources. I did not get much further because stuff kept crashing into my space station. But there is a nice visual ending.
Cool game! Nice take on asteroids with a bit of resource management. It felt somewhat stiff at first because moving was hard. But once I figured out the drone thing it worked. Not sure about the screensaver background because it suggests a completely different direction of movement.
Fantastic art style and I love the idea of ai generated music. It fits perfectly. The controls seem kind of glitchy where you need to move to stay on platforms. It can be quite frustrating when you die and all your progress has been reset.
Congratulations on bringing an awesome game to Ludum Dare! Some minor flaws I encountered: The controls glitched out sometimes (it helped to drop the battery). The battery needs to snap to those target devices or you need to inform the player they are in the right position. It kind of worked for the TV because it turned on. Maybe make the lizard somersault and the fish blub heart shaped bubbles? The mirrored numbers on the battery are confusing. You need to separate those objects or flip only the battery image. Keep up the great work!
I love your game, good work! The day/night cycle needs to be more obvious, think about icons or a little sun meter. I also question your choice of typeface. It does't agree with your art style. But otherwise a fun game and I played all the levels :-)
Wow, this game is great, probably the best LD39 game I played so far! The voice command controls were hilarious. I got my ship fueled and the electronics repaired. More please!
This game feels really polished with neat graphics and sound effects and music. It is quite challenging, sometimes frustrating because the controls are somewhat laggy. Overall: Good work, solid entry, was fun to play.
Awesome athmosphere and graphics. The controls can be challenging. This game sums up life pretty good: Navigate space until you die.
Nice work! Moving around and handling the batteries could be a smoothed out a bit but otherwise a very solid idea and good gameplay.
A beautiful piece of art, excellent graphics and athmosphere. I tried to write a little story inside that magical book as well. But it seems it has to be twitter sized. Flipping back always returns you to the first page which is kind of confusing.
Very cool game, I enjoyed playing it. I love the art style and the music. Click actions need some visual feedback so you know what you have selected and what will happen. Also some info about what each unit does, like how much damage, would be very helpful.
Nicely done. I like the movement of the plane, feels very smooth. The birds should be more substantial to better distinguish them from the background. Not sure, what you need bullets for :-)
Cool art style, very neat graphics. Please do the whole set! The game feels somewhat unfinished because we only get the instructions. But it is definitely playable and it works :-)
The idea is great and the puzzles are very challenging. The layout and graphics need some more work.
Wow, this is a super polished compo game! Nicely done!
@zwodahs The game is actually meant to be played on mobile devices :-) It has some issues when rotating the device while cards are being dealt. But other than that it should work.
@arithipathic Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the game :-) Developing a working rule set was indeed the hardest part. I did not calculate any statistics, so the rules might not be that good. I just printed out a bunch of paper cards and tried different ideas and combinations, actually with a group of about four players in mind. The dwarf cards were added about three hours before the submission deadline. That happened for two reasons: Without the dwarves the deck is only 28 cards and it plays a little too quickly. And I wanted to give players more choice.
Usually creatures run away from my singing. This time was different. What a great experience! :-)
Nice game. It was actually pretty hard to play, but maybe I suck at brawl games. Some enemies spawning right in front of you was pretty scary. Maybe just make them run towards you.
Cool game, very nice art style and great mood. Background music glitched a little when loading a scene.
A wolf killed me and carried my dead body away! Good job on the ai and details. The controls need some polishing. Acceleration helps a lot with movement that feels more natural.
It's not so much the animation - that works. But it does not feel like the character has any mass and just floats if it does not accelerate.
A well made game, good humor, very enjoyable. Some items pop up and you are unable to interact with them, like fire trucks and cuddly chickens. But I made it out in the end :-)
I killed ALL the rabbits.
@cg-fred Killer Rabbits usually fight back with a holy handgrenade. Count to three!
Cool idea. I think I got dashing for free :-) I was unsure about some items and what they do, for example the torches. I figured it out when they were deployed though.
The central planet kept exploding in every universe and configuration - maybe I'm just not meant to be a god :-)
Amazing character design. Card design might need some improvement and simplification. Excellent game, fun to play!
Ok, good job! You start with nothing, not even a face :-) It took me a while to figure out the second bosses weak point. But I smashed it!
Yeah, magnetic items would have been nice, maybe as the touch sense. Very neat game, cool ending.
Beautiful!
Wow, what a great story! Yeah, I think I never got over Lydia. Excellent work, I want more :-)
Wow, what a great idea! I love the story and presentation. The game is super hard though. I never managed to stack more than two snowballs.
Ok, not much.
Nicely done! The controls might feel a bit more natural if you add acceleration. Some text was overlapping. I collected all the wood and got a sword and I think my shadow took it from there :-)
Nicely balanced. Cute graphics. Good job!
I get stuck after placing you. The right click menu does not do much.
Haha, you really start with nothing. Funny little game. Good Job!
That was stressful. Nice take on the tower defense.
Nice take on the sniper game genre. The zoom mechanics work quite well. To keep people engaged longer you might want to add some more things going on in and around the house.
Clever, simple idea. You could have added touch controls.
That was deep. Great UI although it took me a sec to figure out the stamps are draggable.
Neat little game, very enjoyable. Could even be working with touch controls on a mobile device. I kind of expected the enemies to dim the light before fully extinguishing it and pickups to regain or increase brightness.
You have to do some finger acrobatics on a non-american keyboard. Other than that, great game! Nice graphics. I loved the jump mechanics.
Hahaha, excellent game! Basically, you get a fantastic and funny song and a little game as a bonus.
Excellent little game, short but fun to play, beautiful graphics. Use the arrow keys to move ;-)
An excellent and fairly complex game. Controls are a bit difficult, especially with a touchpad. I ate so many berries ;-)
You have to play it a couple of times until you know what you are supposed to do in each stage. The overall design and the mood set by the music are excellent.
Super fun game! I was a bit confused by how to change spells but once you get the hang of it blasting vermin is epic fun. Once you max out all spells it seems you are stuck with endlessly respawning enemies.
Nice game! The movement seems to be a little like you are stuck in jello. I need some coffee now ;-)
It took me a while to figure out how to dig an which blocks are actually destructable. After that it was pretty straightforward. Good game.
A beautiful and eerie game. I love it! Scrolling felt a bit clunky but otherwise the gameplay was excellent.
What? This is ridiculously funny. Nice twist on the theme with the sounds getting deeper. Unfortunately I got stuck in a wall by the mouth lasers backlash and then mauled to death by goblins.
Nice puzzle mechanics. Simple but addictive.
@ddesigndude: Thank you for your kind words! The sound recording was done two hours before the deadline. Imagine me sitting in front of a microphone in the middle of the night with a cordless drill, tin can + spoon and a mechanical stamp :-)
Amazing game, highly polished. The graphics are the cutest, the stories are fun to discover :-) A tutorial screen, explaining what to click, would have been helpful to get people started.
Thank you Hero Alfven, your sacrifice was not in vain! We will always remember you.
Very fun game, quite stressful :-)
I found a mouse and was able to play. If you don't know what all the components do it is really hard to figure it out. Some kind of visual feedback would be helpful. But once you get the hang of it, this game rocks!
Nicely polished game, fun to play. Maybe add physics to the movement for even more chaos :-)
The graphics are stunning, the music is on point. I would probably have chosen less nerdy words but ones with more relation to the art style and depicted period of the game.
tldr; There is way too much text :-) The controls feel a bit "direct", maybe look into using acceleration and forces. Nice graphics.
A very clever combination of game mechanics. It would have helped to have a tutorial but once you understand the idea it is easy to play and great fun. The graphics are cute, text and numbers could have been more bold.
What a great start to an even bigger game ;-) The visuals are stunning and the dialogue is fully voiced. I want more, please!
How do I play this game? Neither clicking nor pressing any keys seemed to do anything.
Yep, takes me right back to the 90s, when computers were still made from wood.
Absolutely awesome game! Spot on with the theme, cute graphics, good vibes, excellent idea. I learned a lot and it was great fun. I will never look at a sound wave the same :-)
Excellent game! Not another space shooter, I thought, and was pleasantly surprised. Love the gritty athmosphere of the CRT graphics, controls are smooth, music is spot on. Maybe add some element to convey the urgency of the rescue and force the player to move more quickly.
I love board games! To test it out I lasercut the pieces from poplar. Fun little game, rules are clear and easy to understand. Maybe add some illustrations to your instructions sheet so people don't need to read so much text ;-) sinkingsignal.jpg
Yes, all hail the frog god and keep praying that he sends us a rich harvest and not devastate our lands when he gets angry.
Awesome graphics and a spooky story. I had some difficulties navigating the phone, mapping the navigation to wasd or cursor keys might have helped. I wish there was more to explore in the village itself. I'll be looking for an extended version ;-) Keep up the good work.
Ok, I got to play the game. Great graphics, nice sound effects. Lots of little details I did not expect from a prototype, like accessibility features in the settings menu. It was a lot to figure out, because the orb was underneath the menu panel. I managed to place some nodes. Showing a connection radius would have been helpful. I connected the nodes somehow. What I thought was a tower turned out to be a big red button. But pressing the button did not do much, it just emmitted click noises and sometimes a beep. I tried to spell "FIRE" in morse code but nothing happened.
Great game, love the gameboy aesthetics. I kept tripping over a snake's tail until finally I reached the laser factory, where I died of a heart attack. I was wondering why the code book never changed and I only ever learned to morse SODU. I tried ... . -.-. .-. . - but nothing happened.
Very neat graphics and super dense athmosphere. It is pleasantly creepy and a cool story with a nice twist. The tasks feel a bit random and lack a proper motivation. The z key is not ideal for navigation on non-american keyboards.
