Reminds me of the cataclysm DDA days (in the aesthetic way), good job on the engine.
Too bad the gameplay is a bit bland, it could really be an awesome game with mechanics.
Congratulations anyway, game works fine on Windows.
Nice game ! The concept is really funny.
Having to validate when you're at full capacity is a really good idea, it prevents the player to just afk spam and forces you to focus.
Awesome gamefeel ! The game looks awesome and controls well (even on an azerty keyboard). I sometimes wished I could drop dirt, it wasn't really a blocking mechanic but when you're trying to plan your next moves it was a bit frustrating.
Still an awesome game nonetheless. Congratulations !
The controls aren't obvious but when you get a grasp of the game oh man it's really fun. Ended up at 198 thieves killed (goddam thieves, stop stealing my treasure) I really like that one used per object tower defense theme.
I think two things would benefit the game :
More time between levels. Or just a "go" button to start the wave : since you can't put traps during the game, it's just a question of planning how you'll put your traps.
Good job and congratulations on the game !
The first level was a bit confusing. eott said it but just adding the existence of the Z button in the description.
The puzzle are very well crafted (particulary the last one) but not too frustrating. Overall aesthetic is really pleasing and coherent. Good job !
I gave up after dying in the Fiery Temple.
The game is really punishing with his death mecanics. Dying means I have to restart. Wich is pretty hardcore :(.
The stamina ressource is a pretty good idea, I really liked it. The games controls well but the enemies are a bit similiar in their mechanics.
Good game overall :).
I gave up on the level where the ennemies are all aligned (in a corner), I can't figure out how to win it. I tried starting with the slow one and progressing door by door from the end but at a moment even going as fast as it is humanly possible I still die.
The graphics could be a little bit less rough too.
Congratulations on your entry, keep up the good work.
"Weeeeeeee !"
Nice concept ! It's really fun to play. It only lack a reload button/death mechanic. Good job !
Good idea, I like the concept of only going down and having no jump. That's really neat. The controls feels pretty good too.
The game would be great with a bit more variety on the level spacing or other ways to gain point.
Good job and congratulations !
Awesome game, overall aesthetic is great, controls feels great.The game is really challenging but not absurdly frustrating.
I think, as it was said before, melee is really OP but it balance quite well when there's hordes of ennemies.
Good job, congratulations.
Killing romans felt so gooooooud ! I really love how juicy this game is. Simple but yet addictive.
The only thing, imho, that would benefits is to have the unit (chara & ennemies) design a bit more in sync with the platform (big blocky greek scheme).
Really good job, congratulations !
Got an out of memory error twice :(.
Wich is weird because i still had a lot of ressource left.
First time in the vault (after the lava) and the second time entering the vault.
But from what I've played it was a really good experience, loved the music, the humor and the artstyle (the unfinished look from the cutscenes wasn't a problem at all).
Woaw, that game is hard. Many failed attempts before cleaning a single room (and it was before the bats).
I love the damage concept, that's really a clever idea.
That death screen tho :'D.
Congratulations, very impressive game.
Man, Hamburg was...rough :D.
I really enjoyed the drunk mecanic, I wouldn't play a longer game with it but it was an surprisingly good experience.
Congratulation, the game was easy to apprehend, had a good learning curve and the map look awesome. Good Job !
Really fun mix, the city builder genre benefits a lot from the clicker genre where you're less passive in the ressources management.
I couldn't get the 5 inns & the Copper Mine achievement :( even tho I had them.
It's a really great concept !
I really think it could be used outside of the ludum dare as game for training memory, it's plays so wells.
Congratulations on the entry, it's really brilliant.
Awesome game !
The difficulty curve is a bit weird, it took quite a few attemps to get to the first turret. But then it's really great and come back harder after a while (so the difficulty curve is : hard as f => really easy => hard) ! The values for buying more BP and Health are a bit misleading (it cost 30g while it's marked as 50g & 75g)
But overall, I really love your game and spent more time playing than any other game so far, just because it was so much fun.
Congratulations on the entry !
The world is saved !
The game is pretty brutal and that's a lot of fun, the overall aesthetic is awesome.
Controls are not that great, it's sometimes painfull to move.
Slow mo is an awesome add, really cool.
Congratulations on the entry !
The game has a strange difficulty curve : at first, No way to know how to even start the game, I had to press every button in hope to do something. Then it's okay in with the first two mobs. And then...holy carp it's hard. I went to level 4.
Nice gamefeel, you really understood the vlambeer approach to juice. Maybe the gun is a bit random.
Also, I don't know if it's on purpose but there's a very small window to oneshot ennemies when jumping on them :D.
Congratulations on the entry !
Boing.
Tried to press every button after f, nothing happened :(
Congratulation on the entry anyway :).
Nice little game here !
It was a bit rough to play on azerty keyboard but still manageable.
I really enjoyed the variety of ennemies and their different actions and the "shield drop" is a really clever idea.
The delay between click and attack is a bit unsettling and sometimes ennemies are shooting from outside the screen view.
Congratulations on the entry !
This was a really interesting experience. A bit strange, but cool nonetheless.
The game mechanic is pretty simple but works really well and, overall, the game is really cohesive. The lenght is perfect, especially for a LD Game.
Congratulations for the entry, I really enjoyed playing your game.
Awesome and addictive game !
Everything is so well executed and really fun.
My only (and it's such a tiny one) issue would be gamedesign-wise with the impossibility to go over 10s in the timer, that creates a small frustration at the higher levels where there is no reward for "mastering the game" (whatever it means).
But I'm nitpicking, overall the game is really strong and a lot of fun.
Congratulations on the entry !
Jam version : Cool concept, I really like the idea but as others said before me, the start is really slow and then it maybe lacks a bit of tuning.
Post jam version seems better, especially with the sanity object. If your were going for a clicker-like, some kind of interaction could have improved the game, I tend to find passive/idle games pretty boring.
Congratulations on the entry !
Nice game !
The base level isn't too hard (the "second" part of the puzzle was really cool) and the part to get the secret letter was really well ajusted.
From my point of view, the difficulty was perfect
Congratulations on the entry !
I really enjoyed the game, it was a nice experience.
It was a bit hard to grasp at first but when you finally click ("oh. Oooh, okay") it's a really nice puzzle.
Congratulations
Nice concept, the game feels really good to play.
I managed to please the second client wife, dunno how, I added of bunch of different stuff :D.
Congratulations on the entry, it's a really fun game and deserves to be fleshed out.
The waves stopped after the merchant encounter :(.
I also find the jump button (z) a bit weird, since there is no use for the up arrow.
Nice idea on the dust as damager, it's really good.
Good game overall, congratulations :).
It' s bit hard to identify what's gonna fall, and it makes death a bit random :(.
Coffee was a good idea but it doesn't last long enough (like real life :D).
Controls are fine and overall I liked the game :).
Congratulations on the entry !
Really cool idea !
It's really a shame that the controls are so bad. I can see where you tried to go but it lacks tuning :(.
It could be a great game post ludum dare.
Congratulations on the entry !
The last level was a bit hard to grasp, the shadows are flying in really fast :D.
I liked how it went from "relaxing" to "ho lawd help me" in such a short time.
The fact that you have to press space again after text is a bit problematic when there are waves incoming, I found myselft "stuck" quite some times.
Congratulations on the entry, cool idea !
Couldn't find a way to restart levels, I've been stuck more than once and I hade to reload the page so I gave up at lvl 3.
Controls are tight and feels great wich is quite rare
The concept is okay even if there's no link to the theme, nice job on the editor it's a really good add !
Congratulations on the entry
Woaw, this one hits home :(.
Awesome graphics, congratulations on the entry.
Is there anything else to do than to feed the robot ? I couldn't figure it out :(.
The concept is really cool but deserved to be more fleshed out, there is no point to either feed the robot or use it to go outside.
Congratulations on the entry anyway !
Cool idea, the "active tower defense" style is pretty neat.
The time between wave is pretty long, a button to launch the wave would have been neat.
Also, sometimes I felt my clerics were sleeping, there was an active combat but they were having a chat at the center of the screen (where I put them).
Cool game overall :D, congratulations on the entry !
So I finished it without pen/paper but it was not the funniest thing. The game is cool, design is really good but I feel it lacks a bit of gameplay.
Audio did not bother me, it was pretty good actually. The mood was also really well done. I don't really see any relation to the theme.
Congratulations on the entry tho !
Good game !
I just feel like the progress bar going back to 0% is a bit unforgiving. The only thing that really bothered me is that the game become a bit repetitive quite fast, if you continue working on it more automation/minigames could be pretty good :).
Congratulations on the entry !
Is there a thing as too much ennemies ? Yes, yes there is.
Cool game, nice concept. I felt like I couldnt really kill ennemies, suddenly there was a lot of them but they was no information if I hit them or not...so somehow I became a citizen without killing anyone :D. The game also stopped giving me information after 21 radiants, so I'm not sure if there was something after the 80 radiants.
Overall, this was a really nice game ! Congratulations on the entry !
Cool game !
The game over/life mechanic is really well done. I just feel like the shooting part lacks a bit of juice (no pun intended) and feels a bit slow. Which is too bad since it's the main gameplay mechanic. Nothing dramatic tho but with such a funny theme you could turn the firing to 11.
Overall the game is really well done. Congratulations on the entry !
BUY. PENS. MORE. PENS !
Yup, you guessed it : there's a pretty big balancing issue. Pens are the most interesting to produce. There is no incentive to buy anything else as the higher tier stuff you buy the less dollar per 5 you get for keeping employees even at a neutral happiness.
Other than that I'm not a big fan of the UI in general, there's a big white space in the middle you use the sides with a scrolling menu :(.
Still, it was some fun 5 minutes. Congratulations on the entry !
Awesome concept ! I tought it was going to be a random platformer but it turned out really well. It fits the theme perfectly and it is really well executed. Some curses were really fun (fth gamer was my favourite) and it's a really good thing that some of them are pretty forgiving(old school gamer).
What bothered me the most were the controls/hitbox. Spikes were the worst for this, sometimes I barely touched them and died, sometimes I had still some leeway and died. If you come back to this (as you said you would) this is first thing you should check.
Congratulations on the entry.
I wouldn't describe the game as "Intuitive".
The controls are pretty messy, the camera doesn't work well with the environment. Like going backwards and firing is impossible, you can't avoid and shoot at the same time. I don't really get why the canons keep losing ammo when they're not firing.
I like the twist on the tower defense genre but it lacks a bit of polish. 3d platformers are really hard to get right, still kudos on you for trying to tackle such a hard genre !
Congratulations on the entry !
The game is really gorgeous !
Controls are good, the music is cool and the it fits the theme really well. Overall, the game is pretty cohesive. The only thing that frustrated me is the falling objects (wich are the main mechanic).
There are either too many of them or they fall too fast to really try to get what you want. I felt like if I was getting a "gem" is was pure randomness and nothing to do with me trying to get one.
Congratulations on the entry ! Really cool game !
That was really rough on an Azerty keyboard, even when swapping it there's some differences between what I see and what I should type :(. I still managed to get to lvl 10 this way.
It was really fun tho ! The concept is great, I loved how you managed to get a turn based feel working in real time. Graphics are great too ! Music is okay, a bit repetitive at the end.
Congratulations on the entry, it is a lot of fun and really innovative.
I really enjoyed the audio.
The game itself is a bit rough sometimes as collisions are not very forgiving with the controls (it's pretty hard to go from one side to the other and not hit something). Graphics are cool. They're pretty simple but it works with the game.
Congratulation on your first entry ! Keep up the good work !
It was really fun !
The controls are really tight, the level design is good. Overall, the game just feels right. I played the non updated version and the fact that the path is marked was sometimes a bit counter intuitive (like in the first or second level I was bit lost at first when you have to go get the token). The double jump mechanic was a bit obscure at first too.
The difficulty mechanic is a bit rough. I think that's how you implemented it : the more you die, the harder the game. It's was a frustrating. Once you get the hang of it, it's not that bad tho.
The thing that annoyed me the most was jumping in tight spots, I felt like sometimes the jump was a bit too powerfull to really control where you want to go.
But overall it is a great entry ! Congratulations !
What a nice game !
I really enjoyed the "puzzle" mechanic, it was really fun an clever. Design, sound, controls everything is right.
Main problem : I feel like the spells don't alway go the way the arrows are pointing. No problem when it up/down/left/right but when it's other directions it becomes a bit weird. I've place myself right next to an ennemy with the arrow pointing toward him and it went under him to hit one the monsters. Also the monsters hitboxes may be a bit too big.
I also found the fact you have to use ALL your spells a bit weird. It's usually just a matter of going in a corner (since there's not much directions left when you killed everyone), but I'm just nitpicking.
This is overall a good game and could easily become really great without the arrow-spell difference. Congratulations on the entry !
So...I smashed every car at least twice, mashed buttons like a tekken player, got about 50 angry dudes following me but...nothing. The bar doesn't go up, Stan is nowhere to be found.
I stopped after a while because I don't really know if the game is bugged or if I'm just doing things the wrong way. Design is okay, the UI is really well done and the concept is cool. I feel like music or at least sound would improve the game greatly (but who has time for that eh :D). The character hitbox is maybe a bit big, for a top down game it usually makes more sense to limit it at the feets (and then a second,bigger one for ennemies attack).
Congratulations on the entry ! Let me know if there's a bug or I'm just bad :D.
Nice game, really fun concept albeit a bit rough : It feels impossible to get all the watermelons or maybe too tedious. I couldn't finish it :(.
Graphics are nice, music is really cool and I love how you delt with the terrain. Congratulations on the entry !
Cool concept and implementation !
It's pretty rare to see good automation based games. This one is pretty hard, I failed three times and the last one was pretty weird : I was putting arrows on the ground and at some point they started disappearing. "Oh, okay you have a limited number of arrows" was I thinking but even by deleting some of them while trying to reoptimize my path they kept disappearing even if the pool was smaller.
Other than that it's a pretty great game, I really loved it. Congratulations on the entry !
Really nice concept and and pretty good use of minimalist art (albeit the red squares are a bit hard to read with this background), I particularly enjoyed how you cleverly changed the rules about growing and shrinking mid game. The difficulty ramped up quite a bit after the third or fourth level but nothing unmanageable, the last levels were actually my favourites.
Congratulations on your entry !
That was a really nice twist on kingdomino as a digital game. It doesn't feels like simply an adapatation but an enhancement on the original game, eveyrthing fits together so perfectly, the mechanics works really well and the design is really great. I loved the timing mechanic even if it quicky becomes rough.
Congratulations on your entry, it's a really solid game !
I loved it, it is a really fun game. Everything fit together so well. I also absolutely loved the soundtrack, so smooth, so dark jazzy.
I see you already adressed the "more than 3 blocks" problem wich was the only thing that bothered me, that's the only -small- thing that was frustrating in the game.
Congratulations on your entry, it is a great game overall. I made it to 16500 in arcade.
Interesting idea even if a bit confusing. The controls are a bit clunky and it's pretty hard to guess where you'll end up with the whole collisions extravaganza :D. But still, that's a really nice take on the theme !
Congratulations on the entry !
Loved it. As someone who's not that much into puzzle games, this was a really enjoyable experience.
The only thing that frustrated me was the level 10 because figuring out the solution was about randomly pushing blocks instead of trying to understand how the pieces could fit together. On the other hand, lvl 18 was hard but not frustatingly random, I felt that every failure was me being dumb and not me trying to figure out some information I didn't have.
But that was just one level and that one aside, all the levels were really well designed. Great game overall, congratulations on your entry !
@adrien-dittrick Holy Moly thanks you ! I must have forgot to click publish on itch and didn't double check before going to sleep. It's corrected now, sorry for being a moron.
Oh yeah ! Melting a snake face with meerkat metal. I needed that.
Cool game, perfect duration. If I were to nitpick I think the controls could be a tad tighter to make the game a bit more dynamic. Other than that the it was a lot of fun.
I'm really impressed by how the difficulty is dosed : even if the game wasn't that hard there was some actual moments of tension due the snake proximity. It was a really nice feeling to escape.
Congratulations on your entry !
That was a really cool game !
Controls were responsive even if shooting direction was a bit off. The ability to aim either with the arrow keys or the mouse were a pretty nice touch for people testing "on the go", thanks for that.
Gfx were a bit too old-school to my taste but overall it's quite coherent visually and it's not that disturbing.
There is a hard lock zone after the first boss (mentionned by other jammers) and it was (with the flying platform, spikes and "water inertia" block) that felt a bit unfair. Other than that the level design was really nice and diverse.
Overall I really enjoyed playing this one, congratulations on your entry !
Cool clicker game, impressive level of polish.
The leaderboards are a welcome addition and a timer really makes it an enjoyable experience for people who are not that much into clicker games.
Congrats on your entry !
I really enjoyed the idea of being able to jump in what usually a "move left and right" genre, it really is a refreshing take. Being able to leave is also quite clever, it could really work in more games of this genre.
Overall it is a cool, but really unforgiving, concept.
Congratulations on your entry !
That death sound :').
Really well executed and the mechanic really works. The "eye" ennemy is quite a nice idea to counter balance the obvious "slide along the walls" strategy, everytime I saw him while sliding that's where the game really shines and become a way more dynamic.
My only frustration would be the balance between such an agressive and dynamic mechanic (the hook) and how overall the game plays, it feels a little too calm sometimes. Now that I think of it, it is quite a difficult thing to balance without become plainly frustrating.
But overall it is a really solid game, I enjoyed it a lot. Congrats on your entry !
Fuck. Voltaire.
Yeah, this is the one where I gave up. The first two were pretty fun once you got the hang of it, I really enjoyed doing them AGAIN AND AGAIN BECAUSE VOLTAIRE IS BULLSHIT AND I HAVE TO START OVER.
Really solid game, such a blast. Congratulations
"That's simple I just have to dig in a straight li...OH NO NO NO !"
What a cool and refreshing game, really well put together. The controls are, at times, a bit uncooperative but other than that rare occurence it's a lot of fun. Game looks good, audio is great and even taking damage is an enjoyable experience for that face alone.
Congratulations on your entry !
Loved this one !
It feels really polished and plays really. The levels are really well done : not too obvious and not too frustrating if you get into a groove. The "lava" zone is maybe the most frustating, it's where I started to feel I didn't have enough control over the drill.
Overall it's a really solid game. Congratulations on such a nice entry !
Fully updgraded. At this point it's not about fishing anymore, it's about sending Neptune a messagee.
A bit short to my taste but that was just becasue I enjoyed playing it so much. It reminds me of the crazy flash-games-chain-reaction-extravangaza (in a good way).
Congratulations on your entry !
I saved the kingdom !
That's actually quite a nice little game, I got a strong GoT night watch vibe. The mood is really strong with one, overall it was a really enjoyable experience, duration might seems a bit short but for gamejam standards it's perfect.
Congratulations on your entry !
Cool aesthetic, the game felt really cohesive and the shift from monochrome to colored at the end was a nice touch. It felt like an actual reward for finishing the game. Also : nice level design.
Others said it before but yeah the controls are a bit floaty (as someone who made too much platformer in unity for gamejams I know how hard it is to get right, I really feel you). Even for such a peaceful game it lacks oomph, pump your gravity scale up, don't be afraid to turn all your values to 11.
Other than that it was a cool short game, congratulations on your entry !
Woaw, I never knew hom much I needed to play a "Pixel Art Racing Endless Runner About Meditation" type of game before this.
That's a really impressive, beautiful and fun game. Congratulations, that's one hell of an entry, my favourite so far !
Such a beautiful game. Really nice mood, music is awesome.
Got stuck after freeing the rabbit and falling into the pit. I could not die or reset, the escape menu wasn't of any help. Tried 4 more times to go through but nothing :(.
Congratulations on your entry tho !
Cool shooter !
Sure, it could be improved : movement is pretty slow and I still don't know why I was taking damage without ennemies near me (or even on a screen) during a few run. I also feel like I could have enjoyed a shorter cd on the dash.
But, as simple as it is, it actually works well : shooting, ennemies, level design, etc. We all know how much gamefeel is a hard thing to get right (even more in a game jam) and it's quite a nicely packed game, congratulations on your entry !
Fighting pigs ? Count me in !
Really nice time rush game, the visuals are awesome (I'm a sucker for crt shaders) and the game feels good to play. The ennemies might be a tad angry and I've found myself frustraded not to be able to go down if I could manage to escape them.
Other than that it is a really great and polished game ! Congratulations !
Fun take on the dual (trial) purpose of mechanics. I was a bit confused at first but once it clicked...yeah that was it.
Death mechanic is a tad problematic (I've respawned with the same amount of bullets I had before dying) and the bullets are a bit too crazy to reliably use them. Other than that great game knowing the timeframe, nice concept !
Congratulations on your entry !
Really nice game, I was pleasantly surprised to see a game like this made with UE.
The difficulty ramps up quite fast but I was not unfair. At times it was a bit panicky but identifying safe spots and moving to them is part of the genre.
My only points of frustration were that music was a bit agressive and the lack of checkpoint or any kind of save-states. Level 1 is easy to breeze through once you've played two or three times but it was still a bit frustating to do it over and over again.
Other than that the game feels and play nice, the controls work fine. It was a pretty enjoyable experience, congratulations on your entry !
Cute game !
I feel like it was a bit unfair at times : in such a small space it's easy to get stuck and lose for bullshit reasons. Things like a straight line of blocks are manageable but I got stuck between blocks and walls without having any kind of way out :(. Died a few times while landing on a block near the edge of the screen too.
Congratulation on your entry, it could be a fun mobile-commuter friendly game with some polish.
A bit barebones but cool concept ! Others said it before but it does indeed feels like a Star Trek simulator (Deep Sea Nine ?). I feel like a more fleshed out game could totally work, it is a really nice mix of action and management.
Congratulations on your entry !
Overall the idea makes a lot of sense and fits the theme pretty, it's a really coherent and well tought game.
My main issue is that despite all his qualities the procgen needs a lot of love (pun non intended).Half of my playthroughs were lost because - even if the collision are forgiving - there was no way down. With a bit of polish on the generation and controls you could have a really fun post LD game.
Congratulations on your entry !
This game has no rights to be this fun. It looks and feels like a ragegame (and at times, it is) but I found myself trying to keep on going forward.
Disclaimer : I got stuck at the "5 platforms" after the first boss and I couldn't find a way to pass through them. Still had a great time, congratulations on your entry !
