Really cool style
Really love this idea. Lots of fun
Really awesome and well made game. I love the style!
This game is so fun to look at
This is my favourite game of this Ludum Dare. So unique and well designed. Great work!
This game has a really cool style. Great work!
I really love the art style and mood of this game.
Awesome game, I love the oregon trail sci-fi idea
This game looks and feels awesome to play. Great job!
This game is awesome! The sound design is great, I really like the metal guitar snake. Everything in this game works really well together
This game is so awesome. Its a nice easy to understand concept but you really added to much style and uniqueness to it, it really made the game great
This game is so great and looks amazing! I would love the know how you did the fire and water because it looks phenomenal and adds so much to the game. Favourite game of Ludum Dare!
This is such a great concept for a game. I really loved playing this one
This game is really amazing. The art, the mechanics, the design is all amazing. My favourite part is the level design and how the same levels need different approaches for different sword length
Awesome idea. The game also looks really good, I love the drill graphic on the monitor
This game is so great! I love the style of the old Game and Watch games. And it is full of things to do. The hands are a nice touch
Super atmospheric game, I really like it
Great concept and it looks great too
Fun game I like the aesthetic
This game rocks! Very fun idea and gameplay. The character dialogue is also very good
This game is so great. I love the visual style and the song
Fun game a really love the art
That was awesome. Great idea and really fun ball mechanic
This is a really clever game. The effect of things flying towards you worked well
Saw your post at the start of the weekend showing the mecanic so I came back to see the final product. I love this game so much clever mechanic, beautiful art and genius level design!
This is an amazing game. I cannot comprehend how you made this whole thing in 48 hrs. Really inspiring
Really well made game. I loved the gravity mechanic and how scrap would slowly get pulled towards you
This game is beautiful! The designs of the enemies and the whole aesthetic is really amazing
Really well made platformer, movement felt nice
This was an awesome game. Great job on the water. The music and environment made everything feel so epic
I really liked the idea of this game. I love idle games and this was really cool. I found the UI a bit confusing at times but great work!
Really cool concept and the art is fantastic
I really love the lighting and mix of 2d and 3d art. It gives it a super cool look. I don't even know how to begin doing something like that. Really awesome work
@phlebas thanks for the kind words and feedback. The screen does get cropped for some reason. This is only my second jam so when I built the game with an hour left the screen was all cropped. So a panicked and tried my best to fix it. Downloading the game might help get the preferred screen size
@ismael-rodriguez thanks for the feedback I’m glad you liked it. Yeah, there were parts of the game that I just didn’t have time to improve. It was my first time doing my own music, pixel art and dialogue for a game so I spent a lot of time learning them and not enough time on the controls or nasty AI. I plan you keep working on the game when I have time so hopefully I get those things cleaned up because I feel like they are a detriment to the game. I really appreciate the detailed feedback, thanks!
Really cool little game. The art and animation is amazing
Super fun and well made game. The art style is really awesome
What a brilliant experience! This game looks and sounds amazing. Really inspiring work!
Really great game mechanics and style
The link didnt seem to work for me
This was really great. Really creative idea
Great art and very polished. Amazing getting all this down. Makes me want to try out Tic-80
Wow! This game is fantastic! It is very beautifully made and tells a very nice story.
This game is really cool, the graphics are amazing
Amazing looking game, I love the style. Super unique and fun idea
Cool game. I love the grapple
I love this game. The art and sound and mechanics all compliment each other very well
Great game! Super atmospheric and I loved the music and graphics
I love the look and style of this game! Great work, it is a lot of fun.
This was really cool. I love the look of everything in the water.
Cool game, I like the idea and the map is fun to explore
Really great mechaincs. I loved the submarine animation, it was really fun
This game looked great. The robot and the background were the highlights. It was a fun game to play too
I knew someone would make a game like this with the theme. This is seriously a great game, with great mechanics and a fun humour.
Cool concept and great artwork
This my favourite game that I have played this jam. Such a clever concept that requires clever strategies. It looks amazing and sounds great. Really great work. Impressive to make this in 72 hours
I will never quit this game
This whole game was really great. Nice job
I love this art style so much. It's awesome! I also enjoyed the whole vibe of this game
Such a simple concept but so much fun. Genius little game. Great job!
Fun game I really liked the look of it and the music reminded me of crash bandicoot
Really cool game! The art was great and I especially loved the feel and look of the dash. Very satisfying
This is an awesome game, you really matched that game and watch style and the art and music are perfect
Really creative game idea and very fun
Really cool game. I love the minimalist art style
Truly unique and creative game
Really awesome game and a clever idea. I loved the look and the color scheme options was a nice touch
This game has a great vibe and the music choice fits it perfectly. Really great game
Awesome game! I had a similar idea for the theme with losing health. Really cool to see a different perspective and a similar idea!
Really nice game. I especially liked the music
Great game. The art is really amazing
@sjpixels Thanks for playing and for the feedback. I agree with your points, I wanted to improve the tiling too. The gun can just help to not take damage against both of the bosses and also in the later parts of the game where taking a hit will end the run. I tend to like harder bosses but I understand that people want to play other games too and dont want to take up their time getting frustrated at a boss. I sort of intended for people to beat the first boss and be able to move on to a new game satisfied with that accomplishment
This game is awesome and looks beautiful. Nice job!
I love this game. Such a great concept, really satisfying to play
Really fun game with a unique art style. I wanted to keep playing after it was over
I really like the vibe of this game. The music makes it really relaxing until he screams in agony
Thank you for adding menu flipping capabilities to this game. Honestly it is something that should be required in all video games
Really cool game. I love the style and graphics
Really difficult game but in a super fun way. Struggling to escape the laser as the frog tumbles around the place is very funny
Nice game, loved the art style
This is a really cool idea. I've never played a game based on folders but it is a really cool concept.
This game is great. I love Wario-Ware and this really hit that mark. I enjoyed Blackout in the last Jam and it was nice to see something completely different from the same group. Nice job cant wait to see what you come up with next Jam
Really beautiful game, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I found the game on itch.io but there is no link to the ludum dare page there. Might be good to add it because I had to google the ludum dare page to rate this game
Cool game, nice to see tabletop submissions
Really fun game, I found myself playing it for a lot longer than I expected
Great game and a really fun idea. Took a while to understand the mini games but I think I got the hang of it
Really great game. I love the themes of the levels and that song in the second level is great!
This is a really cool game. The mechanic is very clever and it's nice to ship evolve as you build. Also the art is beautiful. Nice job!
Really liked the game. The graphics are great and it was fun to run around the ship trying to manage everything
I got one! Seriously good job, wordle has never been more hectic!
Really beautiful and fun game. It is extremely well polished
Nice game! Really simple concept but requires a lot of skill and thinking. I got a highscore of 36!
Awesome game I love the mechanic of the changing terrain. Also I really like the look of the lava, really cool
Awesome game as usual. You are always a master at making pico 8 games!
Really brilliant game. Excellent mechanic that fits the theme perfectly. Great idea for a game and it is really engaging the play
Awesome game, very charming! The sound and visual and everything really fit perfectly. I will have to look into TIC-80, this game has peaked my interest.
Nice game and a fun idea. I really love the mechanic where you have to change the order you sue power up. Very nice use of the theme and very cool level design. I did run into quite a few bugs like the buttons not resetting when I die making levels then super easy or else impossible, I clipped through platforms a lot too like the spikes that move and the spinning platform in the last level.
The best part was definitely the chicken singing along with the music. Great work!
Really awesome game. The graphics are so impressive. All the cool effects from the sun and the cactus shadows and the solar flare. I've never seen something like it in a pixel art game. That was super impressive to pull off with pico 8. I did find the controls a bit hard to use. When I tried to do small movements I would hardly move at all but when I was trying to stop while running the player would slide a lot. It made it sort of tricky to do what I wanted (though maybe that was intentional).
All together this was a really cool game with a unique style. Nice job!
Such a great idea for a game. I really like the core mechanic. I can see this being a longer game with lots more cool strategies to try. Nice job, really clever concept
I really like this game. The music and aesthetic are really cool and it's a really fun concept. I really like how the hourglass moves around and kills things in it's way
This is one of the most impressive games I've seen in a game jam. The whole aesthetic is really cool and the idea is brilliant. It's just exciting to play a song with a random person online. Great work!
Awesome game! I really love the mechanic and the style and theme really adds a lot.
@mr-danh Nice job! Yeah it gets a little hectic at the end. 3-5 is the last level so you are almost there!
@grandblood Yeah it is hard to see bullets, I had them like that as placeholder art and never got around to fixing them :/. Thanks for playing!
@thegamearchitect @andrew-hoyer @matt-ravenhall @venfola Thanks for kind words about the game. I really appreciate it!
@doot Thanks for playing. Yeah sorry about the main menu issue. I didnt have time to actually figure out how to save the level progress. I tried to put warnings in the description about it but yeah it is very annoying.
Super fun game and an awesome style. Nice introduction of new mechanics to seamlessly progress in difficulty
Great game and very beautiful. The art and music are really amazing. I like the clever twist and matching three
Really great and charming game. Love the aesthetic!
Fun and stylish looking game. It's very entertaining to desperately try and position you clumsy character to hit the ball
Really fun game! That last level was tough but I finally got it!
This is insanely amazing work. The world you created was so interesting. The level of detail in the game was so impressive. The train in the background at the start foreshadowing the later parts of the game. I also love the little spin that the crosshair does when you point at something you can pick up. AND A BOSS FIGHT!!! Really great work and the PS1 graphics are so cool. I would love to make a game with that aesthetic, any tips on how I can learn how to make this aesthetic?
Awesome and really creative game.
This is such a fun game! Lots of great polish in this game like the alien names, their designs and matching squares on the tablet and all the fun conversations. It took me one try to figure out how to really play because I wasnt exactly sure if what I was doing was working. But once I finished the first try the other attempts went great. I really went down a hit in speed dating!
Really great game. Each of the items were very clear in what they do so it wasnt too hard to get the hang of. The pastries were confusing at first but then I realised I had to pre-prepare them which I thought was actually a really cool idea (though I did end up getting overloaded with croissant orders at the end that I couldnt cook in time).
The aesthetic was awesome and it was fun to see the faces on the cats at the got more impatient. There was a minor bug where I would put ingredients in a certain order and they wouldn't appear until I added the rest. It was a bit confusing but it didnt make the game any less fun. Great job, really enjoyed this game
Nice game! The graphics are really nice. It took me a while to figure out how it all works but once I got the hang of it I really got into it. Keep it up!
Nice game! I love the look of the wrestler and the background really fits the game. It would have been nice to have the difficulty increase a bit as you go because I really enjoy the vibe of the whole game.
Super cool game. The difficulty in the levels escalated at a really nice rate so I was never confused about what to do. The art style is also very cool, it really does a lot with simple shapes. Nice job and really fun game. (also thanks for the game engine tutorials, helped me a lot when I was starting out)
Really great and completely unique game. I have never seen something like it before and it really works. It look a while to get the hang of but once I did it was really awesome.
Also I love the insane amount of polish here. I spent ages just reading the bulletin before even getting into the dive part. Really cool stuff!
I really like the graphics and idea for this game. As someone has never studied biology, I had no clue what was going on or how genes work and what the punnett square is. So I ended up googling stuff for a while and trying to figure out how this all works. I think the idea was great but I would have liked a bit more explanation so I could play the game better and maybe learn how this all works as a I play because it is interesting. The 10 second timer just it a little too hard
Really fun game. You had a nice intro to the mechanics that were easy and understandable. So when I started really getting into the harder stuff it was very clear what I needed to do and it was just a matter of skill. Nice job!
Great game. Really fun to play and lots of unique and different puzzles which was nice, but also all of the puzzle bot more advanced and clever. It was a nice length too, I got caught out a few times and was eager to to keep playing but it never got frustrating to replay the levels because there wasnt too many
Nice game, unique style and mood and a fun and simple concept. A little sound or visual effect or some satisfying juice would have been nice here to get some more validation and motivation to keep playing
Really great game. Beautiful art and very clever design. It's a real shame it crashes about every 9 seconds
This has to be one of the most genius games I have seen in a game jam. I don't even understand how this is possible. Really innovative and creative game and not only was using the developer console really cool, but also the actual gameplay is a super fun stealth game on it's own. I would have like a bit more from the music but that is such a minor thing that it really didnt takeaway from the experience at all. Awesome job!
Awesome game! I saw this come up on the Ludum Dare feed and saw you had a similar idea to me. I really love the art style of this game. The mechanics are easy to understand and use and it makes for a very addictive game. I keep trying to fill every space in the truck before sending it off for delivery. Nice job!
Really fun game. The movement and shooting felt really good so it was easy to get into a flow with this game. The effect and UI did a really nice job of fitting with the vibe of the gameplay
Fantastic entry as always. I am always most excited to see what Punkcake make every Ludum Dare. The style of the graphics was really nice and there was a lot of depth to the upgrades. I now understand why dogs love fetch so much
I always love playing your games every Ludum Dare. This is a really clever idea and super fun. I like all the little details of polish like how you can stack materials in the rotation you grab them at. The whole style of the games comes together really nicely. Good work!
This is an insanely cool game. There is so much map and assets here it is incredible. I did find myself in a few deadend and had to back track a while to figure out where to go but it didnt happen too often. Really great work and amazing graphics. Is this a custom engine you are using to make this?
Really fun game. I really like how the music changes with the speed of the car. I found my self laying it for ages because it was so addicting
Cool game. The art was really nice, I loved the look of the whole game. The platforming was fun but I found that there was some strange collisions with calls that made some of the platformer difficult
Cool game I liked it a lot. The graphics were really cool and the game was cleverly designed. There was a lot of depth in the progression system, and the upgrades which gave you more power at the cost of a bigger hitbox which I really liked. I found the actual gameplay a big boring at times though unfortunately. The simplicity of the controls, while intuitive, made the game slightly less exciting than everything else. Altogether though it is a really great game with a lot of fun mechanics and visuals
This is a really polished and well made game. You can tell this team has been making games for a while. The art and music are truly amazing and some of the best I have seen in a jam. The characters and whole vibe of the game was also really enjoyable. I enjoyed the design of the game too. The compasses and coloured packages were very intuitive and easy to understand. I did struggle with the movement a few times. I know it is trying to be closer to the more arcadey style of movement but I often found the player too slidey and just fell of some platform as I landed on them. It was a bit frustrating initially since I fell to the bottom early and it took several missed packages to get back up. Maybe after a few plays I will get used to it and I admire the dedication to the mechanics style. Awesome game though, one of the best and most polish games I have seen this jam!
Really great idea for a game. I love the art style and the music is awesome! You did a really nice job combining the mechanic with the story
Great game. The art style and setting was really fun and the music was fantastic. I loved the singing. I really enjoyed the mechanic of alcohol letting you fly but drinking too much killed you and being super heals you but could lose you flight. It made it really fun to way up what to do at every moment
Nice game, I really liked the art style and music. The controls were good but the lack of checkpoints (or maybe I just didnt reach one yet) was frustrating. Crashing into a dead end or getting show leads to a long journey back. Other than that gripe it was a run game
I really enjoy the graphics and mood of this game. There is a lot of fun dialogue in the game too. It was fun trying to organise the cargo as I loaded more and more. I did have some issues with cargo sliding off the ship when it seemed like it should be on. I would have also liked a button to let the ship take off, sometimes the ship started moving before I got the cargo fully on it and it would fall off. Other then those little things it was a really nice game with cool vibes and interesting gameplay.
This game is my favourite of the jam so far. When I found out about this theme I though a game about giving a speech would be cool but I had no idea how to execute. You pulled it off excellently. It is so much fun to try and keep everything under control and the fact that a kept forgetting the blink made me laugh a lot. The art and audio are also amazing on top of everything. Really awesome game
Awesome game. I really love the retro style and it was executed perfectly. Just a clean and well polished game
Really awesome game. It was a clever little vignette that told an interesting story. The little effects throughout the game really added to the unsettling setting
Awesome game. Really fun idea for a game, this is definitely one I will replay a lot
Really fun game. Uppercutting enemies into the air and punching them was really satisfying and made for some cool movement
Awesome game. I am proud to say I completed the whole thing. The puzzles were all very well made and had a nice increase difficulty. I really love the pigeons landing animation too
Awesome game. So many well thought out levels and a really clever progression in the mechanics. Super impressive to do all this in 48 hours
Really awesome game. The basket on a rope is a really great mechanic and leads to some great gameplay and thinking on the fly (no pun intended). The grapics and everything is awesome. Really impressive to get this all done in 48 hours (also I love Pico 8)
Awesome game! I really loved the art and the writing, they really gave the game a lot of character. The gameplay was also interesting. I couldn't read the tool tip text in the Recruit screen though so it was hard to tell what the benefits of the characters were before recruiting them. Great job!
This game is really good. The art style and music work really well together. The core mechanic of attacking being your movement is really clever and the progression of these mechanics throughout the levels is very well paced and intuitive. Great job! (BTW I found the game on itch.io but the itch.io page has no link to the ldjam page, just wanted to point it out in case you want to make it easier for players to rate your game.)
@calicedev @niterich I’m glad you liked the idea. I really appreciate it. I was a bit tight on time because I completely redid the delivery mechanic on the second day of the jam so I didn’t get to expand on the strategic nature as much as I wanted. But it seems like I got the idea across
@phlip45 yeah I was hoping to have a practice mode in the How To Play section. I was sort of planning on it but I ran out of time. The best I managed to get done was playing with the boxes in the main menu (which is useless but fun)
@olddog @automatonvx Yeah the colliders for the parcels just didnt want to work, which is annoying. I couldn't a get them to slide nicely into place like tetris pieces in time.
Love this game. The skating mechanic is so fun and tricky. The art style is really awesome and the music is very catchy. I also thought the skate marks on the ground was really nice touch. Great work in every department
This has got to be the most fun I have had with a forklift in a video game!
I really love the style of this game. The graphics are really nice, great setting. Some audio would have taken this to the next level but still a fun game
Really great looking game and very well polished
Wow I really love your idea for this game. Feeding cows to an alien is a fun idea. The graphics were really nice and the puzzles were a nice difficulty. Good job
Really fun an addicting game. The art style is very charming and the voice acting is very fun. I thought there was a nice increase in difficulty as I progressed. Would love to see more complicated setups with different pizzas and restaurant layouts because the idea is very entertaining
Really awesome atmosphere. The art and music really worked well with the story to set the tone for the game.
Awesome game. I loved the art and fun sense of humour. Figuring out which envelope goes where was a lot of fun
Another great ludum dare game. The mechanic of packing the jury is really clever. Very cleverly designed I think there is a lot more potential in this idea. The art in this game in really good too. Sop many unique characters and each trial has a whole different vibe too it. Really great game, so much in it. Impressive stuff!
Really fun game with a range of clever puzzles. They got tough quickly but I got a great sense of achievement when i figured them out
Really cool idea for a game. It isa clever twist on tetris. It was fun trying to set up long lines of candle to burn
Cool game and a great idea. It was all very well polish with great art and music
Awesome game. Really great level design, each of the puzzles were interesting to solve and the different techniques for solving puzzles were introduced in a very natural way, which made it each to understand how everything works
This is such a fun idea, I love the summons. The art is also amazing, there is no much character in all of the sprites and the backgrounds are beautiful
Awesome game! So much creativity in one game. The acting was all really good and I got immersed instantly. Some really fun enemy design too, like the enemy that throws their head
@owtuvammo Glad you enjoyed. You can double click to remove an entry. I avoided right click in an effort to make in touch screen friendly in the future so it can be played on phone. But maybe having right click as an option would be no harm.
@pilottk Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
@benskca I am glad you enjoyed the game. The daily puzzles are procedurally generated using a seed based off the date. The tutorial puzzles were authored by me to teach the player the rules of the game.
Just an incredible game, I don't think I could fault it if I tried. Insane polish, huge range of enemies and art, so much unique style with everything, the level and puzzle design is expertly crafter and each of the summon has so much character and utility and unlock new area of the map organically. Exceptional game, great job to all involved!
Fun idea for a game. Great music and art. I got stuck under my own blocks a few times and couldn't escape but I got used to the control after a while and stopped having that issue
Really cool game. The whole aesthetic is really nice and well done for getting a tutorial in! The mechanic of killing enemies to gain more element attacks is very fun. I had to try maximize enemies killed with each attack to keep hand full of attacks. Fun game!
Really fun game and a creative idea. The models are very fun and cartoony which add to the games great style and humour
Really cool game with great art. I like the range of summon that really had different benefits and the multiple difficulties was a nice touch
Really fun game, the cleaning mechanic is really fun. It has that sort of powerwash simulator vibe. And the graphics are really cool too. I think there is a lot of potential in the core mechanics here, picking up and using different cleaning tools and managing everything is really fun. Nice job!
Really well polished game, every aspect was great. The boss monsters were a fun twist on the mechanic too
Really cool idea and the characters all have fun designs. The art is very charming too
Really awesome game with a great vibe. Everything was so interesting and the art was so cool. Great job!
Cool game, lots of fun art and a good idea for a mechanic
Really fun idea for a game and great art. It's a very interesting puzzle to figure out
I got stuck in the first conversation. I wasn't able to select and option. The vibe of the game seemed really cool though and the music was awesome!
Nice game, fun spot the difference sort of mechanic. I think it would have been nice if it highlighter the anomaly in some way when I got it incorrect so I know for next time. I was confused about what I kept getting wrong sometimes. But that is just an opinion, I can see why that might ruin the game too.
