Amazing graphics, nice feedback when you're hitting enemies, fits perfectly well to the theme. Impressive work for such a short delay !
Not a game, just some phrase meanless and a link. Whoooaaaa so deep :sheep:
Pretty good. Throw burrito is fun !
Interresting puzzle mecanism but it's a died and retry. it bothers me a little but it's still fun
interessing concept but very, very slow
@HeadMade > We apologies for that, it should be working now :)
We are fixing the issue with the MacOs app download, sorry about that :)
For those who want to restart the game, hit R key.
Thank you all for your feedback :)
Rythm, music, graphics, this is perfect !
Funny :) a bit hard to control the characters though, nice sculpt btw !
The color palette is really well choosen. The music is awesome, you managed to create a great mood :) That was really fun to play! Good work!
Had a lot of fun destroying everything, animations are gorgeous! Good work !
Good idea, levels are quite well balanced. That was fun to play :) If i was to change something it would be the destruction checking process that seems to take some time. Good work !
@Strike Hello ! For the windows version, there might sometimes be some UI troubles encountered. Try clicking between the title and the ground to play the game
Hello, thank you for your feedback, we are aware we encounter some issues with the Windows and WebGL build. Fix is coming :)
Thx for your feedbacks! We are working on the issues and will try to provide to you a stable version as soon as possible
what a hard game ^^
in my playthrough the animals wasn't chasing eachother, maybe i miss something ?
Good work anyway for a first ludum dare :)
Really liked the view angle you have chosen ! Would be fun to have it on mobile :)
Great game :)
hide and seek is nice :D but control didn't fit for azerty keyboard
Lovely graphique, the the text scrolling was a bit hard for my eyes but it's doing the job. Great game.
i like the ambience :)
but the concept way pretty simple and not so fun i my opinion
Anyway good work, keep working !
Great concept, the only issue for me is the 10% time walking. maybe lower the size of the level a little bit.
this game is different of others.
good idea of mix between management gaming and shoot :)
pretty hard game ^^
control wasn't easy either !
but the feeling was great :)
I love the card mecanic. we just need MORE BLOOD when we kill cool kids !
wow multiplayer online game ! amazing work ! i guess you work a lot of ludum time in this feature !
the camera make headache :/
pretty fun anyway :D
Cute graphique, good animation. The box is maybe a little classic but it works.
Nice game, the polishing is great and the game experience was fun! Great work!
Great art style, it was a great new experience to live for a game made during a jam. A really interesting work done here
Really nice game! Loved the idea of debugging, also the feelings when playing was great and so was the art! Great work!
Wow ! The art is really nice! It was a bit short but the job you did for a jam is awesome!
Nice game! The mechanisms were cool, didn't manage to get the age influence at first try, but it was really fun to play :)
Fun entry, simple but efficient! Had a good laugh playing it! Nice work here!
Nice use of the theme, it was really fun to play. Nice atmosphere and graphics!
The art style is great ! Couldn't test the multiplayer but it's pretty cool!
great game, lot of content and upgrade, cool graph. Pretty hard with a zqsd keyboard :).
I specialy like the upgrade system.
Really cool ambiance and game mechanisms. I am sold to Lovecraft universe but discovering it like a Cluedo/Board Game was really interesting. I liked the sounds, the attention given to story and player movements. If I could suggest one thing, it would be to make the player stats clearer of at least slightly bigger on the interface. But however, really nice idea and game!
Pretty funny game, I liked the idea (also I am sold out to raccoons). Using this screen size is well-thought, it really suit the idea of a funnel you have to go into. Not too easy and not too hard I think the difficulty balance is well-adjusted. Good job!
Very similar to Candy Crush, works fine, could be more fun with some special objects or effects when you make a row of 4 or 5. Maybe do something on the map when you pass the level.
The art direction is really nice! I like the pixelart rendering you made, it really suits your managing ressources game. I didn't understood everything first, but managed to beat many levels, I just didn't quite caught how to keep the population ok. But I liked your idea of tiles and building connected stuff linked to each others. It was a pretty great job you made here! Good luck on the competition, it was a really pleasant experience.
Hi @xmatos, thanks a lot for taking the time to give us a review, we will do the same for your game with pleasure! The bug you encountered when losing is identified and we will try to fix it quickly :)
It is funny you mention minigames, because if we had the time (which we hadn't in 72hours x) ) it was something we were planning to add. Also, we will try to work on it after the end of the competition, so be sure if there are improvements, we will be mentionning it on this very page.
And thanks again for your review! :beers:
Thanks everyone for your feedbacks, they are deeply appreciated!
@turncoda About the two graphic styles, you are absolutely right, it was easier to create more character using illustrator instead of drawing them all by hand. The game really needs some polishing and adjustments between both kind of gameplays, and your feedbacks will help a lot!
@undefinist The issue is identified and we are trying to solve it to make the game more fluid.
@jk5000 We took note of it, we will try to make that clearer in a future version!
@navot It's possible to win, but you have to follow a precise path which is for the moment not very flexible (mainly due of lack of time). Thank you for all your feedbacks, this will help a lot in a future version. If that can help you, you seem to have gotten very far in the game anyway ;)
@elzach Haha thanks a lot! We didn't recorded that, it was our sound designer who created it during the weekend ;) you can find its work here: https://soundcloud.com/alban-de-martin you got very far in the game btw, but it still really needs polishing in the interactions. We weren't able to do as many testing as it would have been necessary. Thanks for your feedbacks!
@samurai-spark Beer and friends, what's better ? ;) The whole background was all drawn by hand by one of our designer (@nantenai on twitter). We thought the minor would be obvious seeing his character design, but apparently not. If you want to go further (spoilers..........it's christopher) but we will look up to your advice to make it clearer.
@avon Thanks for all your feedbacks, we liked your suggestion of using drag and drop, we took note of that. We will check the boy main storyline to see why he didn't leave, thanks for mentionning it!
The viewport was a bit small in the webGL version and I had some trouble finding the snowball. I love the idea, it is simple but it is effective and cute. The sound design was perfect! I loved the "Oh!" when you get eaten by a snake, it was really unusual for a game to hear this kind of sounds. A really enjoyable game, great job on it, it is really clean and polished. Good job!
Nice concept! The gameplay is pretty intuitive, you really understand quickly what you can do to "save" your people. The story itself is really nice, it does works well with the theme. I loved the feedbacks and the whole game experience. Nice work and good luck on the competition! I hope you will dig this idea, this could be turned into a mobile game really easily I think!
Very interesting game ! Exactly the kind of games i could play for hours on end. But it took me 3 tries to understand how to use the 4 gems, and i played 5 times on easy mode but i never won ! I swear 1 gem was missing for my last try :D. I don't know what happend, maybe it falled in the water... You could do several levels, which you could win only by using the different character's abilities. Much potential in this game !
Simple game mechanism but really efficient. Nice sound design and heart animation. The gameplay was really smooth and the controls where easy to handle. If think it could be interesting if you couldn add a few different ennemies, like different viruses with different patterns, it might be a fun game mechanism for the player :) Good job anyway!
Really cool art direction and graphics, it is super cute! Gameplay was simple but really nice, controls where intuitive and easy to use. A very funny reference in the title and music ;) Loved the attention made to the UI you also made in pixelart. A very nice job!
That was so cute and funny! I loved the art direction and the idea of taking care of the earth and managing ressources like elements. Really nice game experience and polishing, I hope to see an advanced product one day :)
Some insructions before the beginning of the game would be nice. The concept of the game is interesting, simple and funny. Using it as a single player game against an AI would be very interesting, it could be the new candy crush !
Hey @xmatos! I took the time to play your game, it was pretty interesting. I really like the idea of the cycling world, I do find it interesting for a puzzle game. Took a few try to succeed for the first puzzle, but it was easier for the second, weirdly. I loved the music and the global idea which fits perfectly the theme. However I had a bit of troubles to get used to the controls which were kinda sensitive? But after a while, I managed to adapt myself to it.
I had only one crash, but wasn't able to reproduce it, so I would not be able to tell you how it happened. I only occured in the first level however when I was jumping on an apple in the middle of successive jumps.
Pretty nice game anyway, it is a pretty nice job!
Pretty great art direction! I liked the music, the level design and the controls. It was pretty intuitive and really functionnal! One of the gameplay aspect I liked most was the fact that you could hit rocks with your head to break them and the acceleration in some tunnels with the air particles.
I couldn't finish the game because I got stuck into a cave and didn't know where to go after but I really loved the experience. I suppose I win the game once I kill all the tiny humans? Anyway, loved the physics of the monster and the whole universe.
Super boulot chers compatriotes ! Je vais surveiller ce que vous avez fait et ferez dans l'avenir, c'est prometteur !
I loved the idea of days getting longer and world getting larger! Nice music and graphics. I also loved your ending it was perfect! Would have loved it if it was longer but it is really great you managed to do that in only 48hours! It was really fun to play, great work!
It broke my heart but it was really interesting to do an educative kinda game about this subjects, the art is nice and I liked your idea of choosing to use the theme to raise awareness for our own little world. I'm sure there are a lot of things to do with this concept! Keep going on the good work!
Great game, some tutorial will help but the potential is real
That was pretty challenging to take care of prof, student and this **** planes haha
Good job !
Such a nice game, and yeah, we are running out of space in a great manner ! I like the graphics, the sound, the idea... GG !
I like this game for the atmosphere, but the sprite are difficult to recognize (but this add some challenge !). Nice choice of music !
I am not good at anagram (and it's worst in english haha), but love this idea ! Nice work !
Nice graphics, and great work on this !
At first i thought it was a little too easy then i die... So play again, understand i can push the box, so i did and.. die. So play again and yes, I was a little trapped !
Hooo, we also do a game about the personal sapce, but on the beach ;)
Nice mechanics, but the graph and the font was a little hard to read.
A really fun entry, you made an incredible number of level and implemented difficulties and content so naturally it nearly felt like a finished game! Very nicely executed!
Thank you all for your replies and for all the bug reporting! We will take care of it quickly!
@osspial @agurcan @ryan-brenner @zhanna > Thank you for your feedback! We will definitely address the difficulty issue. It's something we are aware of and definitely want to improve post gamejam. In our original scope, we wanted to add a third ressource to collect but didn't have the time to. We also needed more time to make some gameplay adjustments, our original card/public ratio hasn't been proofed enough but our main goal was to test the gameplay first and then to improve difficulty.
At first the game was a bit hard to understand but once I got the hang of it, I spent time enjoying myself to make the perfect match of particles to earn money. The minimalistic graphs suits your purpose well and the sound design is really great. A very pleasant entry!
A challenging game with traps! Typically what I love! It could be cool to have a retry after the game over to skip the intro. Because, it's a bit long when you try several times.
Thank you for making this game, it's incredible how it easily explains the spoon theory. The art and rythm is really well chosen. Very nice entry!
I feel bad for the grandpa ashes now! So cool! Much graphics! Very wow! Bien joué à toute l'équipe
Loved it, it's super cute! The art and the music are lovely! I really need to improve my mental maths but the game is really polished. I had a good time playing it! You should consider proposing this game to schools/kids, they would probably love it! Great entry!
Super fun and the exploration is really interesting. I am lost myself a few time. Great game.
Really liked the simplicity of it, the goal is straightforward, contextual UI is very handy and yet unobstrusive which allow us to fully enjoy the gameplay. Would have loved to gradually see through our progression new creative ways to achieve the iceberg reunification. Very nice entry :)
Nice game! The music is great and the gameplay is smooth, good job!
Awesome game ! it took me some time to find the second bag ! overall, very good job !
Not my kind of game, but nice execution ! there is a lot to do. Rip Sapristi :( you died too soon somehow T.T
Great games, love the voice and the level design. The fact to show spike before really encounter it is pretty smart :).
Nice work on the ambient ! i like the particles and the light and the music is great too
Really funny concept. It's a bit hard to calculate at the the same to pick up the right number. So finally I just pick up the higher with the plus to be sure ^^'
Really fun and interesting game even if I don't understand the concept of the icons ^^' I always enjoyed a good music game.
Pretty fun, good music. Simple mechanic but efficient. The 3 lifes + the checkpoint make it easy. I like the decoration sprite in the castle. Good job !
Nice game! I love the pixelart. It's quite difficult to use the mouse and the keyboard at the same time maybe because I'm more a console gamer…
Wow, the level of polishing of your game with so little time is mind boggling.
Congrat for your work !
Hello ! Infortunatly, the game failed to initialize on my side (chrome on PC) avec the talk with my boss.
I love the Game Boy vibe! I share the same comments that just above, by Kwiper. Maybe more instructions in game would be better. It's a lot of text at the beginning. Also, why I should have to pick up life and ammunitions at the start?
Loved the overall mood ! Game is really well made, art and music are neat, goal is straightforward. I could see myself play it for hours :)
The concept is cool and I like it, but it's too hard for me… impossible to reach the third platform. By the way, the blob's noises are great!
Very well executed! Now, you just have to find some sounds. Great job!
Simple but fun game, the sound is a bit repetitive. Love the bip bip sound when you go back.
@lerg Hi! Sorry about that, it should be fixed by now :)
@efilheim Thank you!
Really cool graphic, gameplay and sound. I died a lot because i was just out of range for a dash, the dash distance may need some feedback, Great entry ! Really cool !
Hey ! Great entry here, i love the coin/mana balance with some flower that bring you money but remove mana. I mainly use Rot that clear some coffin, i don't really understand some of the spell. But overall a good entry, good job !
Hello ! Nice entry ! I just found the "space" spam for get all the item at the end, maybe the player can pickup the item when go on it ? Nice job
Good little game, i fell like jumping is pretty useless and the zombie do not to enougth dmg, so i don't feel in danger
Very cool game, cristal is a bit ligth, so dash make him go waaayy to far. Great entry overall, good job
Ultra fun and juicy. i love the time effect when you kill zombies. The only default is for me the dmg on the last vehicule is a bit hard to understand (why you take dmg). But overall a very good entry, Good job !
Cool little game, i don't get the cat at the beginning but it was fun. The little harcest animation is pretty cool
This game made me laugh, the idea of delivering packages by cannon would explain why I often receive damaged orders. The beat of the music makes me want to deliver the packages in rhythm for a good while. Great job!
Oh wow, this interpretation of the theme is incredible! Probably one of my favorite discoveries so far. You can really feel the pressure of not getting caught with the plethora of controls at your disposal, as even the slightest mistake can cost us our job. Congratulations on the idea and execution!
Interesting concept! I'm not very skilled with the controls, but once I got a better grip, I really enjoyed the potential of the party game among friends. Congratulations on the idea!
What a cute atmosphere! The amount of care put into this game in such a short time is impressive. I really like the artistic direction, and it would make a great couch game that I would love to have on my smartphone to chill. Congratulations on your submission!
Oh my god, I'm so bad at this kind of game, and yet I managed to have fun with it. The atmosphere and attention to detail in the graphics make it a solid submission! And who doesn't like controlling a little pigeon? Definitely not me :)
The mood of this game is incredible! It's easy to get caught up in following the different storylines, and the attention to detail in the graphics is so cool. The fact that each message has its own personality in its design and tone is a great idea. I had a lot of fun with it. Congratulations on your submission!
An original interpretation of the theme! I really like the well-oiled mechanical aspect of the human body to keep running. I didn't quite understand why I died the first time, maybe when I wasn't looking at the stomach, I ingested a bad element that also turned into a nutrient ball?
Great discovery! The game has a very pleasant atmosphere, and the graphics are top-notch. The change in music intensity based on the scenes is a great idea, as well as the interpretation of the theme. Kudos on the work
What a level of polish in such a short amount of time! Everything is well-crafted, from the animations to the visuals and music. The two-stage gameplay is really enjoyable, and everything runs smoothly. It makes you want to spend hours finding the best vehicle concept. Congratulations to the team!
It's a really cute game that reminded me of Kiki's Delivery Service. The concept is simple but very engaging. The intro is well-crafted to help us understand the controls and our objective. Thank you for this discovery!
An appropriation of the theme that gets to the essence and is perfectly executed, the graphics have been pushed to the limit, the music is very well chosen, and the overall result is amazing ! Congratulations on your work!
I struggled a bit with the controls at first, but once I got the hang of it, it's a great submission. The graphics and music create a great atmosphere for the game. There are many interesting directions to develop if you decide to continue it outside the competition :)
The sound of despair from the frog due to my poor performance was enough to make me love this game. The concept is simple but effective. Great contribution!
This game is a statement in itself of what can be done in such a short amount of time — seriously impressive. Really cool idea to link your concept art too, gives a nice little behind-the-scenes touch. Great job!
The take on the theme is super funny and creative, the concept is easy to get, and the visuals are really cool too! Awesome job!
Big challenge for my mediocre skills, but it’s a really cool idea — the visuals are top-notch with a super nice color palette! Great job!
Oh boy, this isn’t exactly a cheerful world haha — the visuals are super polished, and I really like the progression with the little map. I can totally imagine what this concept could look like as a full game. Also, super impressive how much content and variety you managed to pack in with limited time. That said... I was no match for the evil grandma, couldn’t get past her! Great job!
Exploring the edges of the universe was one of our original ideas too. Really love your take on it — super creative gameplay that probably wasn’t easy to pull off. Great job!
One of my favorite entries — the game is packed with juicy details that make it super addictive. The mood is really well crafted, and there's no frustration, just pure fun! Super impressive result for such a short amount of time. I also really love the ability to heal allies as well as deal damage to enemies!
A very polished game, the combination of both themes is well thought! The artworks are really cute and the game feelings are perfect. A nice entry, great job!
Great gameplay idea! The graphics and the music are really nice. The mixing of both tower-defense and platforming is surprising at first, but it really helps to develop a new approach to the tower defense genre, nice work on that really polished entry!
Wow those graphics are gorgeous !
Nice game. The water is awesome
Incredible work for such a short span of time !
The graphics are absolutely stunning ! Really enjoyable atmosphere here :)
This game is so well executed on every aspects ♥ It's inspiring for our next Jams ! Congrats !
Looks good ! could you add other platform for non-windows users :) ?
Really cool theme interpretation! The controls feels great and the artworks are perfect for this kind of game. A nice experience, great job!
Nice use of the theme, the graphics, the music and the humor compliments the game perfectly. “Who gives a f* about the score” was a genius idea x) Great idea and nice polishing even though I had a bit of trouble in using some controls to cut through meat at first, great job!
Nice game, the concept is interesting and the whole world design and feedbacks with the controls are great. The only troublesome point is that I had to change my keyboard to qwerty to be able to play correctly, since jumping (spacebar) and arrow keys are a bit hard to reach while playing with a mouse, but once in qwerty I managed to play it correctly. An alternative key to space bar would make the game perfect for foreigners keyboards ;) !
very good entry. good works on art, animation camera and effect.Unlucky i always step on a too hight level mobs for me, maybe an indicator.But really good games. Nice Job
