Great mood!
Cool graphics and sounds! The noises made me feel like I was there :). One cool thing that I would like to see is camera movement during walking and running. I think it would improve the immersion. I still definitely like the mood.
Oh and the fact that you can't use the map and the flashlight at the same time is pretty cool too!
This is awesome! Fun to play and has beautiful old Windows style graphics. The music is nice and creates a great mood, puzzles are interesting and not too hard to figure out. The plot is interesting as well. Everything in Batterycorp fits together very well.
All of the elements fit really well together in this game. There are places where it's hard to get more power which makes it harder, but because some enemies drop power too, the game is not impossible to beat. Perfect balance! The powerups and the store for buying equipment make this game really fun to play. On your game's itch.io page there is no version for GNU/Linux, but it works well through WINE. I also like the infinite charger that you get after you finish the last level.
Now there is a really huge problem with this game that I have. After the last level it brings me back to the first level and when I do it again it brings me back again and again... I'm stuck in a loop! Help! How do I get out?
There are no sounds, but there is music playing in the background. Thank you for your feedback! :)
For some reason there is no music in web build. Thanks for letting me know! You might be right about hitboxes, but I didn't notice it when playing fullscreen.
@CliffracerX Thanks for the feedback! It might seem that sometimes you can't escape the gravity, but actually you can. First you have to go into orbit to be able to do that.
The biggest problem with this game is that I have to go to a non free website (google drive) to download it. Okay... I'm joking.
I really like the beautiful pixelated graphics. Those sprites! It made me feel like I was in the 90s playing it on my CRT. The default mouse sensitivity is much much too low, espiecially for this kind of game and if you don't set the correct resolution in the config weird display error happens. I love the mechanics and strafing is awesome. I think this game is a piece of art. It's hard to beat. I decided to beat it no matter what knowing that later I would feel proud of myself. I found the perfect strategy of jumping around in circles and spent like 30 minutes only to realise that enemies spawn over and over again, so the game has no end and can't be beaten. I was devastated. My next move was obviously to download the source and modify it so that I could beat this game. Then I realised it's all written in C... and there are so many files and so many lines and I had to idea where to look. It was all perfect, but you had to ruin everything. Thanks for wasting an hour of my life. :(
If you ever decide to fix the ending and make it a full game with more levels and release it on a DRM free platform like GOG it will be a game of the year.
Edit: @red-fan-games Thanks for your feedback on my game! I had a lot of fun playing your game, so the time wasn't really wasted (I was joking about that) :). Devil Daggers looks really cool, I will check it out!
I like the concept a lot and the art is really nice. It was really easy to get lost for me. It's not clear to me how the wall jump works. It seems that there are issues with it sometimes. Besides that it's a really interesting game and I had fun playing it. Sound didn't work for me on GNU/Linux and the game crashed once, but that's not a big deal.
Fun and challenging gameplay! There could be some music or more sounds, because everything is quiet most of the time. I like the fact that everything is randomly generated. I imagine that there could be more levels with different types of obstacles in the future and with this mechanics the game could be very addictive.
Simple, but really fun! For me the character and gravity is a little too slow and there is too little control. Also it would be nice if there was some music. Graphics is simple, but looks old school and I like it. It's a fun game with good mechanics.
I couldn't keep the king alive (it's hard!), but it was really fun to play! I like the style of the graphics. Music and sound are very good too. Sometimes clicking on an enemy caused my character to move instead of attack, but besides that I didn't have any other problems. I will have to get back to this game later, because I'm curious if there is some more gameplay after the first battle.
I didn't play the game because of the installer. It's just inconvenient to use for me. In the next jam you should think about making more builds for different platforms (you can do that after submission) so that more people could play your game.
Interesting mechanics. The game is pretty difficult. I kept getting hit by asteroids which caused me to spin. I had no idea in what exact direction I was spinning, but I learned that I can find out by trying to rotate in different directions and checking my angular velocity to see when and how it changes. How did you make the skybox? It's really nice!
I like the concept a lot! This game is challenging and very fun to play. I don't understand how health works though, because there is no health bar. Does it regenerate? I feel like it should or there should be a way to restore it.
Cows that can fall from the sky and kill you!? Only in Tornado! This is a funny game and I had fun playing it, but it would be much more challenging if the speed kept increasing instead of remaining the same. It's also shame there was no win condition.
From the screenshots it looks like a cool game, but unfortunately I wasn't able to run it on my system.
Amazing! The music and animations made me feel like there was some big world full of living creatures around me. Because of simple controls the player can just relax and enjoy the story. I can't stop thinking that there is some deeper meaning in it that I can't figure out. Something that I'm missing.
Windows only, shame. I really wanted to play it :(. Please make builds for other platforms too next time.
I murdered half of the city but the pirates are gone! Unfortunately it was hard to find some of them. The music is cool and I like the art style.
Cool graphics and very nice music! I like the humor too. The only part I didn't like is the driving mechanics which ruined the fun for me a bit.
Cool looking graphics and fun and challenging gameplay. When I wasn't playing fullscreen enemies shot at me before they appeared on my screen, but that's the only problem I had.
This is a really nice game! The story and the fact that you can focus only on a few things each day makes it interesting. Some music would make it even better.
Loved the graphics and sounds!
Very funny game! Mouse movement was weird for me, but besides that it's perfect.
I didn't know what to do at first, but I managed to play to the end. Very interesting concept and everything worked together very well! Good graphics and audio. I could probably spend a lot of time in this type of game if there were more things to build.
I don't entirely understand this game but it's fun to play and I love the humor.
Very interesting idea and a cool story. It's hard to make a game where you literally start with nothing, but it really was the case here. Player starts with no information. Music fits very well too. I wish there was less repetition, but still a great game.
The itch.io link seems to be broken.
Cool mechanics and nice art style!
This is challenging to beat! I wasn't able to beat this game, but that's cool. I really like the mechanics here. The gameplay is addictive. The music is nice.
Fun gameplay! I didn't understand the goal unfortunately. Audio is very good too.
Awesome game! I love the graphics, good audio, everything creates such a good mood. I think the text of character dialogue could appear a little faster and sometimes the text was appearing behind other objects and out of camera's view, which made it hard to read.
It's relaxing, the graphics and music are very nice and create a great atmosphere. I wish there was some goal or something more to do. I would certainly like to see a post LD version.
I liked the humor, the story and the graphics. I wish the dialogue appeared faster. I liked that the minigames were challenging, but I think they were a bit too difficult.
I didn't get what I was supposed to say at times, but I managed to play it to the end. The game has a really nice art and I like how it uses the theme. The voices are very funny!
This is definitely my favourite game this Ludum Dare! You recreated an awesome game and you did it really well. But I wish there was some music or sound and in one level I lost some of my creatures and got stuck without a way to restart the level.
Nice, I grew something! The night was a little too dark and I wish I could place things with more precision (maybe using the mouse), but this is a fun game!
@adrian-guevara The gameplay is fun and polished, so I can see why this game won. There is a lot of levels with challenging puzzles. What I don't understand is how can it have better mood rating than some horror games? I also don't get why it scored so well in audio and graphics.
@adrian-guevara understandable mistake. The results page mixes compo and jam games together, which doesn't really make sense if they are scored separately.
I don't know why, but this made me think of fever dreams. I wish there was more gameplay, but it was a very interesting experience with good audio and mood. Fits the theme perfectly.
I love the graphics and the music in this one! I didn't like the sounds so much, I'm not sure why.
I love the art style!
I'm impressed that the world is randomly generated! This is a fun game, but shooting was a big problem for me. It's almost impossible to shoot enemies without getting hit. I think it's because player's weapon shoots only a single projectile in a straight line. Maybe it would have helped if there was some random spread in player's and enemy's weapons.
This was intense! You did a great job of building the pressure. Also this is a very unique game idea :)
Wow, this was a really awesome experience. It's kinda similar to what I made, but also very different. I love the graphics!
Interesting concept and I liked the mood! I was confused about the ending. I think I died, but I'm not sure if that's how the game ends or if I was supposed to do something different.
It's a pretty fun puzzle game! I liked the puzzles, but it was a little confusing for me sometimes. Maybe because of the camera.
@zimny11 those are really good suggestions, thank you! I already wanted to implement some of them, but you also gave me some nice ideas I haven't thought of. I will have to look into that bug :).
@gbgames woah, that's awesome! I didn't realize it was possible to win this way :). Thank you for the feedback!
Great music and it was really fun to play! I only wish there was a health bar, because the number was hard for me to read during fights and I wasn't sure how much health I had left.
What a funny game! And that ending haha! Certainly the funniest game I played this jam. It was also fun to play and the audio is great!
I don't know if that was intented, but playing this was very relaxing for me! Maybe it's because of the cool music. The sound and graphics are great! The gameplay was fun too and I would love to keep playing if there was more content.
This was really fun to play! I imagine this could be expanded into a full game by adding more types of weapons and ants and maybe some player controlled units. I could play such game for hours :). I loved the humor as well!
I wish there was sound, but this was very fun to play! I loved the upgrades. I didn't understand how to increase the unit limit, but other than that the gameplay is really well done!
Haha, this was so funny! Great audio!
Very interesting idea for a game! The music was pretty good too. It's a shame that there is no other ending. I think a good ending isn't mandatory to have, but it needs to be more satisfying, because the main character was defeated too easily. It's understandable for a compo game though and I still had fun playing.
Cool game! I liked the graphics and the fact that puzzles weren't exactly the same on each play, so there was still some challenge. Since I had to repeat the game a few times, I wish there was a faster way to restart.
What a unique and fun game! I cried at the end :)
Great sounds and mood! The story was very interesting and I wanted to know how it would end, but I wasn't able to complete the game. Maybe it's because one of my victims ran away through a wall. The upgrades were interesting, but I wish I could unlock faster walking speed. The fact that all walls looked the same made it difficult to navigate the building for me.
What a unique idea! And the music was nice too!
