Quit, when I actually made it to the top at the IMPOSSIBLY HARD line up of the yellow circles just TO DIE AT THE TOP SPIKES... phew... phew. Rage over. The game is very nice! I like the idea of seing your dead bodies scattered all over :D That's motivating...
D'oh. Sorry, it works just fine for me, however... I wonder what's the reason.
Admitted, there is not much to do. I wanted fish swarms, volcanoes and love... But, well, 48 hours are very little after all. Also focused on graphics too early. Also I'm pretty sure I should have left the color bars out.
Cool that you liked the graphics style. That's the one thing I 'm kinda proud of ^^
Definitely needs some sort of guidance, I know. Probably should add some sort of area highlighting. But really I'd like to add more things to do and properly balance those available.
@Pixelulsar: you should put bow flags next to trees and fish flags in the water close to shore.
@gritfish: I built it using just Notepad++ and Firefox + Firebug. And... the bug... well, there is no limit on the time delta, so sometimes when the next frame comes in after some seconds the guys suddently move for a large amount.
Nifty little genius game! I really wanted to make something similar, but... failed :(
It is an amazing little story! So sad :( and beautiful.
I like the somewhat crazy style :D
It got quite hard where it says PCEyes...
I do the sexy dance... urm, sorry. :D :D :D
I agree. I thought about not letting the player progress until he finds the actual maximum amount of connections. But decided to drop this rule to allow one to finish the game anyway. This was probably not a very good decission, since now the game seems too easy.
To be honest, I have a concept for at least five more rule-set extensions, like arrows instead of lines. Unfortunately, even for this first extension I couldn't prove the maximum amount yet xD So, one way would be to find it brute force :)
Actually, at first, I made it so that you would restart without the stars moving. But decided it was nice to have some variety when you restart. Maybe this was wrong...
Thank you everyone for your kind words and valuable critiques. I plan to develop this prototype into a full game with a lot more levels and some puzzle-rule diversity. I will definitely listen to your suggestions. Once again, LD proved to be tons of fun and a great motivator, too.
Poor little guys. I loved the sharks eating people. I guess I'm just a very bad person ^_^
An interresting idea. I seem to not have gotten the rules quite correct. I couldn't figure out why level 3 has not worked. But I could imagine, if you would build up the difficulty more slowly and explain the rules much more... It's a nice, finished game with a good idea at its core.
The idea is a very interresting and innovative. However, as it stands there is not so much fun in exploring. Somehow I'm missing more game mechanics in this game.
I like the humour of this game. The game-play, however, gets a bit boring quite fast. Still it was fun to play for a couple of minutes.
I love the graphics, and the game-play is really new and fun. A little music would help a lot. Anyway lots of fun, one of the best entries I've seen.
A surprisingly innovative game. I enjoyed the controls and even the crazy sounds. I found the greed dragon and then the game ends. In my oppinion what's lacking is a purpose. Why am I doing all of this?
I liked the setting and the graphics. Though, game-play is obviously still very basic.
Man, my path got dark quickly ^^ I like the graphics and the overall awkward feel. I didn't really get the mechanics, though.
Interresting game about choices in life. It gets a little boring after some minutes of play :\
Of course the game would be much more fun with a working AI. I think with more balancing and more diverse actions it could be a really challenging and fun game.
I like the idea, though it was quite hard to get at first. Obviously, better visuals and some audio would help.
I'm a bit torn with this game. On the one hand I liked the graphics and the music/sound a lot. On the other hand, I found the game-play a bit odd. I couldn't really observe any clear difference in the behavior of the two different manifestations. Also it gets repetetive quite fast.
The game-play gets a little boring quite fast. But the visual style, the sounds and the sound-track are superb. All in all: very well done!
A wonderful puzzle game. I have never seen such a concept - very innovative and fun!
OK, so if I got this right, it's more or less enough to just hold W and push the left mouse button like crazy. However, I really liked the atmosphere and the fast pace. It's amazing, how just the possibility to drive faster and faster can be fun in itself :o)
I like this genre quite a lot, normally. Run around and shoot is fun in itself. However, I would rather add more weapons and extras instead of more levels. The levels feel quite the same, different weapons and power-ups give such a game substance. Maybe I'm missing something?
Wonderful game. Especially regarding the limited time. I really like thearcade elements and they're nicely intertwined with the story. Really beautiful.
A really fun game with a nice visual style. It is horribly hard, though. I didn't even try heroic o_O and couldn't get past level 1. And I really would love to see more than just the beginning. Apart from that it's a really cool and polished game. I like it, a lot.
Really, this is a piece of art. I love how all the pieces of the game tie together. The connections, the elements, the progression that drives the music, which, in turn, drives the motivation to continue. The only criticism I could come up with is that the music, specifically in the beginning, was getting boring quite fast. I think one could alleviate this by allowing a slightly faster progression for the first three planets. On the other hand, this might be the problem of me playing on a laptop with a touch-pad. Apart from a couple of small bugs, like connections and elements stay there when switching planets - this is a perfect little universe that you just have to love!
I like this game a lot. There is so much potential to extend it into a really outstanding game, I think. A rogue-like farm-game :D That's a good idea.
To be honest, this is not "half" finished. I could imagine a bit of where this was headed. Games with gravity are always fun :)
This game has a lot of potential. In the state it is right now: the controls are quite quirky and there is too little content to really make it fun. But I find the general idea very original and I wouldn't mind keeping the minimal visual style.
Made me laugh a bit. And was also fun for a couple of minutes. I've always been wondering where those socks are going...
Hmm, this is a very interresting and unusual story. I liked it. But it rather feels a bit linear. Although there are lots of different endings, most of them feel incomplete. Fighting the rabit-man was really fun, however :)
Wow, such a polished game. It's way too stressful for me xD But it really looks, sounds and feels GREAT. How did you finish *that* in 48 hours??
Simple but fun game. At the beginning I didn't get how exactly to bomb robots. I like the way the two worlds interact.
Well, the mood and overall ambience is kind of interresting. Unfortunately, there is no real game.
Absolutely amazing game. At first, I thought the timing of the drags didn't matter. Then I realized, that the power builds up. Much later did I notice, that you can protect your planet by clicking on it. Otherwise I couldn't win at all. The game is super polished as well. That's clearly the best game I've seen, as for now. More levels and maybe some more specials and I'd pay for it.
Wow, one of the best games I have played in LD33. Very well polished, strategic, challenging and simply fun!
This is a very simple game, in fact, a little too simple. It gets a bit boring, soon. Things I liked are the cute grahics and the tune. Thus, considering the extremely short creation time, it's a nice little game.
The strategy in my case was clicking as fast as possible. Either I'm a fast clicker or the ballancing is off. I liked the atmosphere.
This game is really satisfying for some reason. Some more variety and a goal (or did I miss something?) would make it a more complete game.
A very good entry, in my opinion. Maybe, it's because I love simulations and strategy games. I see a LOT of potential for this game to be something I would pay for.
What's missing is mostly balancing and maybe some interdependency of actions, like the player could tap into some resources to gain more energy. This would add some pace instead of sitting there waiting for the 30 energy to fill up.
Wow, an amazing entry. Believe it or not, but that was my first idea, which I ended up abandoning. I couldn't see a good way to reverse Donkey Kong. Haven't thought about waves of heroes.
But you went even farther with introducing the barrels which can hurt the player-monster as well. I also loved the physics that added possibilities and complexity.
The best game I played in LD33!
A very cool and humorous reverse dungeon game. Had to laugh more then once :D
I liked the atmosphere a lot, this includes graphics + audio + setting. Liked the game mechanics less. I didn't quite get, why the traps would disappear after I've set them up last round. Also, what exactly does it mean, when you set a trap. It seems the people disappear quite randomly. I'm sure, I'm missing something, just don't know what...
This IS a true successor to "Quest for the Crown", indeed :D
Turn-based stealth game sounds like a good idea to me :) Couldn't win, though. When two people were left there's always been a message saying one has escaped and warned all others.
I enjoyed playing this entry a lot. The game mechanic works well. I hope you will expand on it. Would love to see such a game evolved into a giant raging beast feast of gore.
A very nice idea, to reverse a manager game. It's extremely short though. Thus, it's hard to really get into it. I see a lot of potential, however.
Basically, all has been said above already. Have to join Tuism on that one: you should have concentrated first on gameplay, then polish. Otherwise all that comes out is more like an interactive greeting card. Hope that didn't sound mean. Your team definitely has potential, I can tell by all the beautiful visual details.
Very atmospheric, but I couldn't get so much fun out of it. Maybe I got it wrong. Seems like it's running around gathering stuff, avoiding enemies and dying too soon, because of the time limit. Pacman seemed to do the job better.
The graphics, sound and mood are ace, though.
Very nice graphics. I liked it at the beginning, but it gets boring soon. With some added content and more variety this could be a fun game.
To be honest, I liked the audio most. I found the course not too hard, made it at the second attempt, after falling out of the map the first time. Overall, for an action game it could use more pace.
I like the graphics and the game machanics. Though, it get's too hard soon and a bit repetitive.
The mood is great, the graphics the music... But then, there is not much of a game :( That's sad. It's started, but it should continue. I like the minimalistic side scrolling, if it just had more substance...
Wow, a wonderful entry, and normally I don't enjoy text adventures. But this one is so very immersive. I especially liked the little details, like the changing words in between the sentence and of course Ma's pieces of wisdom ^^
Well, a Yeti in a suit is definitely a force to be reckoned with.
I like the mash-up between snake and puzzle. It is fun and even got pretty hard towards the end. Short but very nice game!
I loved Harvest Moon and I love this one :D Great graphics and nice tune. At first it was hard to memorize the positions of the distillery and the saloon, but soon I knew the whole map by heart. I certainly could imagine playing this game for hours, if there was more to do in it. Would really love to see it developed further. Great entry!
@sebbernery Yeah, when I tested later with a friend, he said the same. Definitely something to add. I'll see, when I have time to return to this game. I would really love to finish it properly.
@rplnt Totally agree :) It's probably best to play on one phone in the current state. But to be honest, makes much more sense to make it into an online-multiplayer. Sounds and music... yeah, would love to add some, just didn't have much time for this compo.
Well, that's a great idea! I have to admit, I love tower-defense, so I might be biased ^^ I couldn't figure out, where the towers would merge, though. Would be nice to know this or even being able to select.
The aestetics, the music, the sounds are all amazing. The game itself gets a little boring. The trivia questions were impossible, to be honest. I ended up ignoring them.
It was fun. The idea alone is worth a thumbs up :D At some point, I had no meat anymore, for some reason. So I lost when all orders required meat, finally. This is a solid game. Sure it gets a little boring after some time. But if you add more variety to the game-play, it could really be great!
Obviously, pretty hard to play like this. But everything else is amazing. Especially: that VOICE xD
Wow, pretty hard actually. Guess on a cell this would be way easier. A fun combination of genres!
