This is a pretty simple game, but it gets repetitive after a while. I think the story was more exciting than the gameplay. If you're going to do a Post-LD version, I would definately add in more objects and victims to spice up the gameplay. Either way, good work! :D
Cool idea, but the gameplay was pretty frustrating. There is no real skill, it's kinda down to luck. The graphics and the game are both well polished though.
It was pretty fun, but the controls are quite stiff. If the controls were more fluid, it would definately improve the game.
Game looks really nice, and the voice acting adds a nice touch. The gameplay is pretty cool too!
I really liked the concept and the game felt very polished. The controls are tight, but the game is just too difficult. Still a good game though.
Very nice little game. The casting system is easy to use and the gameplay is just complicated enough that it's really fun to play! Great job! :D
Cool idea, but the game was too short. I liked the simple graphics and audio.
Nice work my m80s :)
Dat tile system tho
I like the concept of using hacking in a war, and I felt that this game matched the theme quite well. The controls feel a bit clumsy though, backspace coudln't let me delete and when new text is entered, the window doesn't auto-scroll to the bottom. They're two minor issues though, the overall game is quite enjoyable though. :)
I think you nailed the atmosphere, but the Windows version didn't really keep the mouse inside the window. The gameplay is pretty cool though. Good job :)
It's a really fun game, although it is quite difficult in the later levels. There's not much else to say, other than I really enjoyed it :)
The game manages to feel very mysterious and creepy, but the movement felt very strange. I gave up when I was asked to solve an algebra equation. Sorry, but I don't feel like doing maths today. Good effort though!
The mechanic where you fling yourself with your tounge is pretty cool, but beyond that the game was very confusing.
The gameplay was kinda dull, but the audio and story were quite good. The controls felt responsive, but the game was a bit too short. Overall, I enjoyed it!
The game's mood is perfect! There's a great sense of anxiety when the light hits off of objects to create that off-tune noise. That said, although the concept was cool and the game plays really well, I gave up after the red level simply because I felt the game got too easy.
Really good graphics and audio! Too bad there's no singleplayer though, I'll come back to it if AI is added.
Very fun retro-esque game! The graphics were very pretty, but it made it difficult for me to see what was going on sometimes with all the particle effects.
It's an original idea, and I had some laughs playing it, but the controls are a bit off. It would have been better if you could look and draw individually instead of at the same time. I had a lot of fun though :)
The artwork looks really good but the level design was confusing. I got lost quite quickly.
The game was pretty hard to figure out, and the game was highly pixilated. The music made it worth it though.
It's a cool idea, but it feels lacking in some way. It's still a fun game though :)
The controls felt responsive and the game was easy to understand, but at the same time I felt it wasn't possible to get to everyone in time, even if you went at the most efficient route. The graphics are pretty cool too. :)
Very original idea. I only messed around with it by myself and had fun, so it must be even better when played properly with another person! Great job! :D
It was quite the experience. Pretty bizarre game!
The two player controls is a very cool idea! It's a fun game to play, but I found the audio to be very distracting.
One of the best games I've come across today! I loved every second of it! The music fit in really well, the game felt balanced for the most part, although you become kinda OP towards the end. But yeah, great game! :D
Cool game, but it's pretty tricker. A great example of how a simple game can be a lot of fun!
Easy to pick up, hard to master! Fun little game, the pixel art looks great and really fits into the atmosphere of the game.
Quite a weird game, but I liked it! :)
The grapics look awesome and the audio really adds a sense of urgency to the game. The gameplay is fun but is let down by the controls. Overall, it's a fun game to play!
Very original concept, and the gameplay works quite well. It's a fun game!
Fun game, but really difficult
Damn, I feel really sad now. I honestly wasn't expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised :D
I wish there was more!
This game makes me feel bad for slimes now haha. Seriously though, it's a really good entry. I really enjoyed it :D
Fun game and cool concept, but way too difficult. The ability to move diagonally would have been extremely helpful.
Really enjoyed this one! I love the art style and the audio is great! Also, it was great to play a game made in Flixel again! :P
This is the best looking game I've soon so far! :D The sneaking is fun and the physics in the fridges is a nice touch. The game is super polished, great work!
Cool little game, it's a bit confusing on what to do at first. But I think you can make something really good out of this if you keep working on it :)
I really like the story portrayed by the game. I'm a monster. And I lost. Well done!
It's impressive that this was made within 24 hours, but the mouse controls a bit floaty which it makes it hard to hit the enemies. Also, it's a bit difficult to see the footprints with monster vision. Still a cool game though!
It's a pretty fun game. My index finger is sore now :P
I love it. There's nothing more I can say :D
The best graphics that I've seen yet this LD! The gameplay was fun and I like how there's extra goals to complete in each level. Excellent :D
Fun game, get's quite hectic the further you go on :)
Definately the best game I've played so far on LD! I love it! :D
Wehk. Wehk. Wehk.
This was really great, very original idea! I only wish there were more levels :P
I really wanted to play through the entire thing but I was too much of a puss haha xD
The bit I played through was awesome though, nice work!
The pixel art is fantastic! The game felt really good to play and the sound snippets and usernames were funny too!
I would love to play a post-LD version!
I uploaded a new Mac and Linux version, but they're untested. So hopefully they'll work for you guys :P
Nah, that's not supposed to happen. I had another look over the game's code and I can't see anything that would cause that kind of behaviour. If you could tell me what you said to Seth to cause that it would really help me find out what's wrong. Thanks for checking my game out though :)
It's a neat concept and I enjoyed playing it, but it definately needs more content. You should keep working on it :)
The graphics look awesome, but the car physics are slippier than GTA IV :P
I had a lot of fun with this though, I'd suggest making the enemies get progressively faster as time goes on.
It was a pretty fun game, but there was no real strategy to getting more subscribers. Comic Sans and Win95 was a nice touch :P
Really nice concept, but the game needs a bit more balancing.
It's a cool concept, and you should definately continue working on it! It's too bad you ran out of time though :s
It's a cool little game, but the platforming is a bit hard though. I think the root of the problem is that the character slides around a bit too much. Other than that I liked the music and the pixel art :)
It was kinda hard to find out what was going on in the game, I couldn't see who was shooting me. Still a good attempt though!
The story is super creepy, but I don't know exactly what was going on. One of the best games I've played so far! And the hand-drawn art is awesome. 5 stars!
The music was good and the AI was also really good! I think there should be a win condition though, because once you get all 70 resources you can just plant mines beside the remaining 3 treasure and do nothing will the enemies get slaughtered. I still had a lot of fun though :D
Funny little game, the pixel art is quite good too
Fun little game. Got 10224 points.
Art is cool. :D
One of the best games I've played so far! The movement was really interesting with Skulldor, but unfortunately, I wan't good enough to finish the third dungeon. The retro graphics and the chiptune are also awesome.
I want to play it, but it needs a Windows version :D
The art is really good, but I couldn't figure out how to play the game properly. The instructions weren't clear enough :(
The game was really hectic and fun, but the audio got a bit repetitive after a while. Cool game :D
Fun little game, quite funny :P
Awesome game, the dialogue is very funny :)
It's funny, fun, and just plain awesome!
Great game! :D
Very good puzzle platformer. The pixel art is really nice too. :)
Awesome game! Great concept, but the gameplay could be made a bit more complicated. Really enjoyed it. :)
Cool concept! The puzzles were fun. :)
Fun clicker game :)
Really good music and fun gameplay.
Nice entry :)
I enjoyed playing it, liked the minimalistic art style. Sound effects would be a great addition though!
One of the more original games out there. Really enjoyed the voice acting. :D
Fun little clicker game. I can stop playing Runescape without EXP wasting! :D
Best game I've played yet! Love the music and the art style! The plane was really to fly too! :D
Cool game! :)
But the UI is a bit confusing.
I am the hero! :)
Fun little game, really simple idea.
Awesome little game. I kinda got a War Games vibe from it. :P
Cool little game, had fun with it!
:D
Fun game! Kinda reminds me of 3D GIRP :D
Really nice little game, cool pixel art and it feels like you gave it a personal touch.
Just awesome :D
Fun game, and the music was awesome! :D
As for the balls not staying in sync, I think it might have something to do with delta time in GameMaker?
A fun game but very unforgiving. The puzzles were pretty hard to figure out.
The lack of thrust control made the descent a bit confusing, considering I started flying away from the moon on my first attempt haha. Fun game though :)
Fun little game, but a bit hard to get used to the valves. I love the retro Game&Watch aesthetic of it though.
Really difficult to play, but a cool idea nonetheless!
The gameplay is fun and the controls feel very tight! There's a bit of a difficulty spike, but otherwise a very fun game! :D
Fun game, gets really hard really fast! The flashing colors don't make it any easier ;)
Fantastic game! The pixel art was really good and the story was awesome! :D
Fun arcade game, really like the music and there's a cool sense of scale. :)
Looks really nice, good sound effects, awesome pixel art. But the game is just really difficult! (Or maybe I suck)
Still enjoyed it though :3
Cool entry. The different environments were awesome! :D
Tough game, but I had a lot of fun playing it!
Great entry :D
Really cool idea for an endless runner!
I also love the art style :)
Cool little game, but if you keep jumping to the right you can never lose. Maybe you should lose as soon as the fat bar fills up?
Cool game, but it's a bit too easy to just spam LMB. :P
It was fun to play, but way too hard.
The frequency being at the center of the screen is a little unfair considering you have about a second to react to the incoming obstacles.
Other than that, good game :)
Fun and difficult game, but like other people said a timer would be a great addition. :)
This was a fun game! I liked the right-click game mechanic. :)
Interesting gameplay, fun game but can be a bit confusing. :)
Funny little game, had fun playing it. :)
Cool game, I liked the basic mechanics. The dynamic soundtrack was awesome too :D
Really cool little game, I had fun playing it. :D
I enjoyed the game, fun platformer. :)
Cool idea, but it's a bit too easy to copy the AI.
Fun and simple game. I liked the song too! :)
Cool game, I really like the sudden difficulty spike :P
I really liked the game mechanics, fun game, nice art and audio. Awesome game! :D
Fantastic game! I love the art and the music is great! The gameplay was fun, but the level design made the game a bit too hard. I just couldn't save the forest :(
Cool game for a bit, but the bug where the hair grows over your entire face is the best bug.
Had fun. :)
Fun little game, nice art style :)
It's a little bit too difficult though.
Cool game, I really liked the artstyle.
Nice entry :)
Really cool Puzzle game, I love the low-poly art! :D
The game controls very nicely, and is quite a challenge. I had fun :)
Excellent work with this game, I really enoyed it.
1. I felt like the narrative was fine, I just feel like it ended a bit abruptly. But it's a jam entry, so that sort of thing happens! 2. I never really focused on the resources in the game to be honest. Would it be more challenging? Yes. Would it make the game more enjoyable? I don't think so. The tarot card resource management of Reigns was a core mechanic in that game, but that doesn't really happen here. It's more about the narrative. So I'd say leave out the resource management if you want to make this a full release. Or if you want to keep resource management, figure out how to tie it into the narrative? 3. I think the sudden swap from a Reigns type game to other minigames really made the whole game feel unstable. I love these sort of meta-games like Undertale or Pony Island, so having that as a surprise in the game sold the theme for me. 4. Fun, to be honest. I didn't really enjoy the snake game mixed with the cards, it got a bit challenging and I couldn't read the flavour text. 5. Like I said earlier, the fact that the game has a sort of meta narrative and the fact that it wasn't just Reigns with a programmer skin.
Overall I enjoyed it, nice work!
Sooooo good! I would have been impressed if this was made in an engine like Unity or GameMaker, but the fact that it's also in a custom framework is amazing. The art is lovely, the ambient backing track sets the mood too. And of course, the burn mechanic really adds time pressure and some puzzle gameplay which was a lot of fun. Only feedback I would have is that the particle effects can kind of get in the way of seeing where spikes are, but other than that it was such a good entry and I really hope you get a good overall rating. Congrats :smile:
(Also I played on Windows which worked perfectly)
Really great entry, the noise of the spinning top across the wood is actually super relaxing to me. The cat at the goal was such a fun little touch, I loved it!
Congrats on submitting! I also only starting working on my game this morning, so I feel your pain haha. This was a fun game, the graphics are nice and simple, but are quite relaxing. Any criticisms I'd have, you already mentioned yourself in the description. I do like the idea of hex grid physics tetris though, I'd be interested to see what this looks like if the idea is taken further?
@stefanie-leitch I promise you're not too dumb to play this, I made the difficulty too hard to make up for the lack of levels, sorry! Thanks for playing though, I appreciate it!
@fabernull I wanted to go for something Baba is You esque, so I'm glad that came across in the game. Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed!
@nick-barrash Nice one! I'm sorry in advance for Level 4!
@velaachlorine @theviraldragon Thanks for your feedback! That's my bad, I don't think I explained the mechanics well enough in the game. I'll update the description for new players, and hopefully that'll make it more accessible. Thanks for playing :smile:
@wuppos Thanks so much for your feedback! The biggest problem with this game is definitely the difficulty curve, if I had more time I would have added some simpler levels to teach the mechanics by themselves instead of just making a complicated level and hoping you figure it out yourself lol. Thanks a lot for playing though, I hope I didn't frustrate you too much :smile:
@jonah-srg @maus-games @binaryprinciple @ethankessler Thanks everyone for playing! I appreciate the feedback too, I agree with it all as I think it'd definitely improve the game. If I decide to to a post-jam update I'll definitely add these. Cheers :smile:
@zwodahs Thanks a lot for playing, and congrats on beating it! I made the last stage pretty hard intentionally so I'm impressed that you cleared it haha. I was pretty stretched for level design ideas with just this mechanic so if I was to do a post-jam version I'd definitely add in some more. Congrats again :trophy:
@giulychu Yeah I did the art very quickly just to get it in the game, but now after releasing it I can see what you mean and I totally agree. A post-jam version of the game would definitely have updated art that differentiates between the pits and damaged floors a lot more than what it currently is. Nice work on getting to level 3!
@gamebuilder I'm sorry you got stuck on Level 2, but I'm glad you at least liked the graphics and the idea. To be honest I'm not good at these kinds of games either! They're a lot easier to make than play I think haha
@pdotjpg Yeah my biggest regret with this game is not making the difficulty ramp up easier. I made the mistake of wanting to just get to the interesting mechanics straight away without boring the player. I actually played your game and you did a much better job of that than me, so maybe I can learn a thing or two from you!
@coda-highland I think you're talking about the solution to Level 2 here? Yeah I think that mechanic wasn't explained that well in the game. My idea with the Level 2 solution was that it would show that it's dangerous to shoot a wall if you're standing next to it on a damaged tile. I don't think I designed the level well enough to showcase just that mechanic by itself though, since the solution involves shooting the other wall from the opposite side. Thanks a lot for your feedback and insight though, this is something I'll keep in mind when I make a post-jam version.
@holyblackcat Cheers! Congrats on beating the game!
@marrs You're welcome! I'm sorry in advance for level 4 haha
@lonewookie Nice! Congrats on beating the game! Yeah I totally agree, I would have liked to add sound but completely ran out of time. The post-jam version will definitely have sound effects and background music though, along with the better graphics to differentiate between the broken floors and pits.
@neoncircus Thank you! I really wanted to enter this for the compo so I wanted to get the game done as soon as possible. If I entered this for the jam though I think the game would have been a lot better. In saying that, I'm glad you liked the mechanics, so at least I know that idea works!
@cameron-paxton Thanks! I wish I had the extra time to work on this and add some intermediate puzzles. I'm actually terrible at Baba is You too tbh haha
@candlesan Congrats on beating the game, and with 1 bullet left?! I have no idea how you did that, my intended solution was for you to end up with 0. So, congrats on beating my score also :joy:
Thanks for playing everyone, I really appreciate it. I also played your games and left feedback too :heart:
@candlesan Cool! I went through the left section which took an extra bullet. I never thought of going back through the section the way you did. Nice one!
@naali Thanks for playing and for your feedback. I'm glad you had fun!
@coolestdoggie Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed :smile:
I really liked this game! It's cute and having the little bit of dialog with the customers added some humor. Finding new recipes is fun, but I think having a list of discovered recipes would have been nice, since I'd forget if I already tried a recipe and then I'll go through the minigame just to make acid water again. Overall I really like it though, good stuff!
This was fun! I was expecting a purely narrative game going in (I saw your posts on Twitter), so I enjoyed the surprise when it turned out it was a fight to the death against the trash I refused to take out. Really good for your first 3D / Godot Game!
Graphics are cute and I like the idea! I think the controls are a bit floaty and slippery, but if they were tightened up would really improve the game. Nice work :smile:
Very cute and difficult! Sadly I'm not as resolute as St Eugene, but it was a fun game! Especially good for 6 hours :smile:
Nice work! It's hard enough making one game for a game jam, but getting minigames working too is impressive. It's a fun game and I think outside of a few minor bugs (Move right as E instead of D, can't replenish ammo without firing your gun) I enjoyed it! Also I like how you slowly introduced the ship systems over time - it made it way less overwhelming to play when everything started to go wrong :smile:
Really nice game, I haven't played one of these multitasking style games in a while but I really enjoyed it! Has a very cute aesthetic and has a good ramp up of difficulty. Great job! :smile:
This was a fun little game, I got about halfway through before the difficulty spiked near the top of the level. I'm glad you put in the cheat for the defrags though since I'm absolutely terrible at slide puzzles. The background music was super catchy, and I loved the graphics effects as the computer overheated. I think a bit more of a tutorial or ramp up would have been nice, since I didn't realise what the defrag did at first. Cool entry, I enjoyed it :smile:
Excellent game, I'm really impressed that you all managed to make something with this much depth in 3 days! I really enjoyed the background music too. Great job! :smile:
Hey there fellow black and white, pixel art, grid-based puzzler game dev! I really enjoyed this, it's super polished and you can't really go wrong with a Sokoban game! The scanline mechanic is so inspired, I'd love to know how you came up with it! I played through a lot of levels but I didn't get a chance to finish it because there's a lot of other games I want to play for LD, but I'll definitely come back and finish this after the jam! One of my favourites so far, great job :smile:
This is a fantastic game and is just super polished. Very impressed that this was also made in a custom C++ engine, it feels very responsive and with some more levels, music and sfx I feel like it feel like it could be a full game. Awesome job!
Hey, nice entry! I liked the narrative of the game, but I think the exposition at the start could be cut down or paced throughout the game like how CloudLunar said. The hand-drawn graphics were very nice and there was a nice mood to the game. I really wish the game was a bit more technically smooth though, where walking felt a bit more natural rather than it feeling like a slideshow. Other than that, I did enjoy the experience. Good job! :smile:
Haha this is awesome! I love the cute aesthetic, and the 3D Tetris gameplay with physics is such a simple yet effective idea. To be honest the highlight for me was the music, I would absolutely listen to that while working. Excellent work! :smile:
This is great! Very well polished, nice pixel art graphics and juicy gameplay with an interesting mechanic. I'd love to see this idea expanded on and the difficulty balanced a bit more (It's pretty difficult after the ground floor). Reminds me a lot of the Tower of Hera in Link to the Past, which has a floor mechanic like this. Great work!
I have no idea how you all did this in 3 days but it's just :ok_hand: so so so good. Easily the best game I've played so far in the jam, this deserved top 10 imo!
This was great! Really silly idea executed perfectly. Nice work!
It took me a few tries to figure out how to play it, but I figured it out eventually! Cool idea, having to interact with the different machines is a little clunky. I really enjoyed the music though, nice work!
I love OS sim style games, and I really enjoyed this one! It's really tough trying to balance the power, I found I kept on running out of energy before I got to the planet. I loved the hectic vibe of the game, where you're trying to finish simple tasks but the damn computer just keeps getting in your way lol. I also played it on my phone, which added to the atmosphere. Great entry, great work!
Awesome game, it was actually super relaxing despite the rolling-in-a-ball perspective! Music and Art was lovely and was a fun 5 minute playthrough. Great work!
This is a fun interpretation of the theme, I sadly wasn't able to save Mike's sanity but I hope he's doing ok! The art was cute, had a kind of claymation look to it, and the background music was nice too - it didn't get too repetitive. I think the core gameplay idea is good, it just needs some tweaking around the controls. I think removing the double jump would simplify the game a bit, since I felt like I needed to double jump up a floor and across gaps anyway? Also it felt like I was sliding around a bit too much. Outside of some tweaking though, I think this was a really good entry. Good job!
Like the other commenters said, the color repellent idea is such a good mechanic to add to this type of game. The leaderboard adds a lot too, I enjoyed my time with this game!
Nice game, it's a simple idea and it feels nice to play. I think it's paced a bit slowly though and it would help the game a lot if it had music (I didn't put music in my game either though, I know how it is) and SFX. Also having the platforms come in faster would help. Nice work!
Fun game! Very difficult but I liked the humor and gameplay. Nice work :smile:
This is really cool, I love these kinds of orbital mechanic puzzle games! The art and music is nice too, so it feels like a complete game jam experience. Also nice work on getting the trajectory prediction in for a game jam, I made a similar mechanic for a game a few weeks ago and it took me a few days to figure out how to implement that. Great work! :smile:
Really impressive work making an RTS in 2 days! Sadly it crashed for me after a few minutes, but I got the gist of the game. I'm pretty terrible at RTS games, but this was easy to pick up and play, and I had fun with it! Very well polished too and I liked the concept. Good stuff!
This is awesome! I got to 1052 points. Gameplay was a lot of fun, it definitely becomes a lot harder to survive past 1000 points. The BGM, SFX and Graphics were also great and the game overall is really well polished. Good entry, nice work!
I really enjoyed this, and loved the NES aesthetic! Only issue I had was on the second stage, where the blue bird blended into the background a bit too much and killed me twice because I didn't notice them. I think just having the white and red bird is good enough. Also having the soundtrack and some cut-scenes added some nice polish, it was very "complete" for a Ludum Dare game. Excellent entry, great work!
Nice work, this is a super unique idea! I really like games that play around with movement or controlling vehicles in this sort of way, so I definitely think this idea could be expanded upon. I think having an easier way to stow the barrels would be nice since it's way too easy to lose the barrels.
Very cool idea, I think there's a foundation for a good game here. If you're making a post-jam version, I'd love if we could make catapults and contraptions to get up to the higher windows, and a larger variety of objects to make unstable ladders! Spontaneous Compustion City was also a lot of fun to run around. I did find a bug with the bench outline, I think physics is still enabled for it? Fun game, good job! :smile:
@giulychu I found the bug when holding a bench and then having it touch one of the crates on the ground. It seemed to push the crates around. It didn't happen with other objects I was holding so that's why I think a collider must be enabled for that ghost bench object
Very cool game, I think you nailed the gravity settings for each block. It doesn't feel too hard to control, and once it lands it feel solid and weighty. I got to about 20 before it fell over, nice work! :smile:
