Pretty good old 8-bit game ! Very complex for a game made in only one week end ! Very impressive !
The music and the style work , but the lack of instructions made it hard to begin. + the fact that no feedback display when you lose and why you loose made it very hard to progress.
I had to quit before the end, but I reach the grenade mechanics. Overall, it was a great game ! Clever mecanics, good level design, a little confusing when it come to reach plateforme outside the camera's limit, and some bounciness make me rage many time, but the whole game is very clear and the game design is, like as said, clever ! It really became a mix between reflexion like puzzle solving and skill, where one can save you if you lack from the other one.
Ok, that was just fuck-ed up as it needs ! Good game, pretty simple but just by the graphism, audio and overall mood, it became really remarquable ! I didn't succeed to pass the fire (I try 5 times, the fire is the longest I can make) but it was unexceptedly enjoyable to play and to try to figure how to avoid babies at the end haha !
It have really good visual, with a strong style and the gameplay work, but, like it was said above : the introduction have too many sentence one by one, and some think was not very clear (what is the use of the cave ? ) but for a game jam, it really work, and the game worth it entierly !
Comprehensible, clear, cool, funny and right in the theme ! A clear, perfect, clean game for the Ludum ! Seriously, with that concept, it's immediattly fun and can finish very hard, like every good game should be, you had the right idea, with the cool ambiance who go with it !
Clearly, one of my favorite !
12 days one first try ! Then, never more than 3 ..... I really akwardly suck... But the game is really good and addictive ! When one species start to increase without limit, the panic come, it's really fun !
This is my favorite game for the Ludum Dare ! Seriously, I just love it ! It was simple, but you progress, you see the link to the theme, it became harder but not unfair, it always let you finish the level even if you take to much time in the late levels, it mix a little skill with puzzling, and I love how the player rythm the game by itself, via the main gameplay ! It was immediatly fun, even the little story make me laugh (not very loud and all, but still laugh !) It kind of remind me "escape goat" in many aspect, but made in one week end ! Awesome ! It just too clean to be !
Woah ! A really hard game but fun to play ! It test our real agility and it's a great idea to link it to juggling ! It's work good
That . was. Super fun ! I take some minutes to figure out that I can interact (well... "kill" is more accurate) with the cat, but god damit, it was immedialy fun and a great (AND bad) idea ! And for 4 hours, it really worth it, congrat's !
Not bad. It was a little laggy on my little computer, but the game work pretty well, the puzzle was good. But due to the lag it became very tricky to do the simple jump. I had a big bug with the elevator , half of it was on the ground and it didn't lift me up to the top... But the graphism work well !
It was a pretty good games ! Unfortunatly, too much bug or bad design drag down the experience, like the spawn of ennemi who can kill the main character, or the shoots who become invisible due to weird rotation (could be a good feature if more controlled I think). In the other hand, the graphism (specially the boss) are pretty good ! But did not end very well together nah ? But I still apreciate it and well, the dash , the bullet hell, the sensation of being on a seroid version of arkanoid with alien was really fun ! To anticipate bounce on a corner to kill more ennemies became really fun ! Finally : music : holy greatness , it was so cool !
@hijomo Thanks a lot for your feedback ! Your allegeances for the lord of all bird will grant you lot of crumbles in the afterworld !
@toboggan Thanks ! I'm not an artist as start, more a programmer, so it touch me a lot !
@strangeryann Who are you awesome stranger ? For the level 2 , it's made to be short (there is special day : a short one, a duel day, and a raining of food day) all in cycle of just 7 days ! (Initially, they would be an end with the raven. But like in all games, choices have to be made). And yeah, I should reajust the punishing of eating too much and the effect of previous days on your current speed is absolutely not visible unfortunatly... Thanks for your comeback !
@seano and @azathothep : Thanks !
@jjjjason : Your comment make me shivering. Thanks you so much ! It mean a lot to me !
@mambojambo : I aggree with everything you said, I want to make the other pigeon bounce, but then, it make the game to "arcade" and not in the mood, so I tried other thing , but it didn't work. The main good idea I have, I didn't make it in time (everything in the code was ready for it) and it involve the crow from end of day, and a cinematic. And thanks for you comment overall ! It's helpful !
@louis-denizet : Yeah, it was made by choice, but the dialogue who hint it ("Short day doesn't seem to bother you") was mess up and place in the wrong day. It was the "special day" who can trigger, like the duel with the speed bird, and the raining crumbs day. I should have fixed this...
@xephrys : If you eat a lot, the bird become slower (and the total of crumbs eat everyday influence too, making you even slower everyday) but due to very bad choice of value from me, you have to eat more than 100 to start feeling it and the other day, you didn't feel it at all exepect if you eat like 170 in one day...
@james-deans-jeans and @tinis-games and @gaming-night Thanks you very much ! You're comment are pure good vibes !
@sgadrat Thanks you ! I really try hard to make it the most clear and simple game I can ! I'm glad it work !
@logan It was some special day who are very short, but I didn't come to my "end" (with that darn crow !) and there was special day where other bird was mean to be really quicker and better, to challenge the one really good and make feel bad the other (in a volunteer way), but it didn't work well... But thanks for all your constructif critik !
@alexfalkenberg Yes, I still have this little bug of text on bad day... I was too short in time and only see this afterward... And, well, if I have time, I will try a more full game
@axoona Yes, I really mean to make an end to the game at 7 days (the crow, some crumbs and a shoot em up surprise gameplay) where all lead to this. I wanted to make it on the Monday but my computer just update and take away 3hours and with my other work, I didn't succeed to find the time to make it (but everything in the code is prepare !)
Really cool concept, well use in term of level design ! The visual make sense (and it seems that the animation differ in fonction of what direction your going, it's making the game ... groovy ! ) and the audio really push the idea of dancing espacially when the blue ennemies come in game and start to impose a rythm to the game ! Put together, your game just work perfectly !
A really good little game ! I play on keyboard so, it was hard to be precise, but I love the overall idea and the tribute. But, I just never succeed to take even one yellow dot, due to precision and these little sneaky quick ennemy who are simple but effectif !
The main idea is good and the gameplay are quite clever, but the fact that you sometimes don't know why you lose, or the death who take too long each time really lower the good feeling of the game. And the stomach idea sounds good but in game it became... well, a little immature. But the graphism are rezally good looking and explicit, it work well !
Sincerely, one of my favorite game from this ludum ! The music work just really well for this kind of game, and the gameplay + graphism + music just work good all within !
The graphism are really simple, but the particle effect, the feedback or the anticipation (the light who get on before an ennemy spawn) and simply the convergence of ennemy towards make it clear and kinda mesmering, when with the good music ! I really hope we can jump to the music we want when we finish one, but it was not that hard to defeat (I never last long for the final, but this music work so greatly I didn't even rage about it !)
The whole gameplay is done in a good way ! Just some times, I feel my shots was under my cursor (persepectif problem ?) But the game have his mood and he push the player to move, dodge, aim in a way that stay interesting, pushing to think where to place due to obstacles and the danger of every spawn point.
A simple game, but a good one !
(ps: sorry for my bad english, I'm not a english speaker)
It's dommage that you didn't warn that controller & other player are needed... But the overall game is fun in multi, each match are quick, but it work well to party with 4 players !
It was serously super good ! The ambiance, and the style really work well with the mecanics, and the gameplay it's just awesome ! At the moment I understand the principe, it baffled me ! It clever, and very use in a good way ! I can't reach more than level 8 afterall, because the movement are a little too weird for me (I suck at PC plateforming...) But you game really impress me ! Bravo ~ Ps : the fact that the character stick to wall can be correct in Unity with a Physics material with friction to 0, I think (I may be wrong, but if it help you, I'm glad)
A good game ! I take a little time to figure out the controls (I don't have access to internet when I test the game) but after getting the sabre, I understand that I should use object with other object. And it became really fun ! The color help to understand what can be done, and the resulte are quitely fun, I was really curious about all the combinaison that can be made ! THe overall idea was great
In the end : your game is fun to play !! (I finish with a B, never above, unfortunatly)
It make me really rage and yell at my computer ! Wich mean.... it was a really cool, intense game ! I really get into it, and trying to juggling with what these people ask was very challenging without being unfair (I still think that the chosen controls are not the best, asking to have both hand in one side of the keyboard). The music and the little animation really work well, not breaking the intensity of the game.
But GODDAMMIT WHY THEY NEVER STOP AND WHY DID THIS ARCHER EAT ALL THE KNIGHT'S BURRITOS !
It was pretty good ! A little management game but pretty powerfull (and fun too, thanks to the name and design of the aliens) . I really like the "drawing pastel style" of the beginning and even if the two song are maybe too different, the sounds make his job and help to know wich alien we have to see next !
It became tense, even if some day finish too brutally
That was a really great game ! Hard, but really cool to play and rewarding !
I really love the visual aspect (remind me aardman work, obviously) even if I find it a little bit under exploited, but the game concept was cool and catchy ! Like Demn says, the little dialogue box is very clever !
That kind of game is very hard to balance but it was playbale and quite enjoyable so well done !
A really fun game to play ! I didn't understand how to play at first, but, once you understand it, it become really fun ! The coffee add a good layer of "strategy" to the game, and I really like the joke on the biggest feature !
It was a disturbly pleasing moment to pass ! I really like the tone, the universe, the form of the game who convey to a mood, a feeling. It just push to make strange choice, question morality here and even if I died or it bug many times, to make the adventure many times was really good !
@saoi-games : I use VRTK so, in theory, it's work. But I don't have any Vive to test it. (Ironacly, the "non-VR one" have more chance to work with Vive than the first one, because I deleted some prefab in the first version while I restore it in the non-VR one. But I didn't test it so, I can be sure.)
I hope you will finish it ! There are some good idea in it !
Frankly good ! It was simple but the gameplay work really well, and by the simplicity, it's... kinda elegant. For a compo is really great !
I love it <3 really peacefull, well-tough and cleverly made, it really is a good project ! Love it!
Pretty fun ! It remind me of a bullet hell but in a friendly way !
@thibaud-ligneul and @mikonow : Thanks you very much ! Love to see that the idea of capitilistic chicken work
@lajazuve : merci ! Et oui, faut juste se lancer ! Mais oui, je voulais au moins ajouter le fait que la poule ponde des oeufs (j'ai l'asset d'oeufs) mais en 3h, c'est surtout du "je met ce que j'peux" xD En tout cas merci de ton commentaire !
@empheon : Your chicken will live as a king forever ! Grateful to see people enjoy my game !!
@axefall : yes, if I had a little more time, I would have add the feature so the chicken just make egg who became another chicken. (but time is sparce and so do the motivation sometime ;_;)
@hoyr : thanks! I hope I will not stumble to that art block in the next ludum and do something with really more content in it !
@zerohbeat : thank you ! I'm glad you enjoy the art and style ! I think i'm starting to get somewhere with this "style" (oh, but the drawing of the chicken is from my partner, not me >_< i cheat a little)
@adonisdevs : thank you !
@pandakipu : you monster ! Enjoy you meal as you can, the ckicken will get his revenge someday !
@blue-pin-studio : thanks and thanks for the edit xD Yes, I was planning of having an egg when you get one chicken full (and so, by evolution of time, you will reach an automatic equilibrium, with maybe, some dead chicken in the background....) but I lack of time... I hope next time will be better !
@obscenelytrue : thanks for the comment ! I add my incapacity to work and be motivate to the compo, but it warm my heart to see that it's still appreciate ! Thanks you ! (oh, and I cheat : my partner is the one who did the chicken drawing. But I did the game in 3 hours, so, I think it's fair... no ? Maybe ? Please ?)
@blobross : you have the best name ever and thanks for your comment ! it was sweet ! (and the next time, it will be a communist chicken, promise)
Really impressive ! I have a think for interactive music and your game work really well ! I just had a hard time comprehend how it work but when I do I enjoy making music or pattern and see it work by himself ! The duration seems really good and, overall, I love the visual style ! It become mesmerizing quickly (the music is maybe too aggressive when every instrument play but, the player decide to activate or not all instrument, so, I can only blame myself)
Good mood and good visual/music ! The universe work well, but unfortunately, the gameplay not that much (the UI is kinda too obscure, and it' hard to understand the possible consequence of our choice. Even after reading the tutorial.) But for an jam game, is already really good !
The sensation of littleness compare to this huge machine work so well <3 ! Really cool game ! (and congrats doing it on only 48h)
Really fun and really complete ! It's fun to control such a cute robot, the movement is really well done and work smoothly, and the overall visual works with it. The tutorial is a good addition (a little more buggy in the web mode xD) but it was really fun to play it and I really like it !
Super cool and moody game ! The visual help a lot but with that music, it feel... relaxing, while in danger... It's odd but really good ! The animation and sfx are so soft it really just feel fine ! And the overall gameplay work so well (I love the fighting stance of the hero, it's so cool, love to beat bad guy)
>_< so difficult, I just get an army of bat attacking my grandma and she died every time.... Am I that bad at video game ?
It was horrible and feeling bad and... and... and I love it ! Ok, seriously, the visual is really good looking and the "animation" is really fun ! The overall idea fit really well with the execution (it's easy to understand but hard to master, but fun to fail !) I really like it
One of the most beautiful game and a good revision of the tower defense principle ! The flow is great and the gameplay is pretty clear and straight forward : no need for a tutorial, we understand it quickly. My two downside is that : i didn't understand how usefull for the spawn of grain it is to water the main mushroom, and the balance need a little rework : it became very easy and you overcome the game pretty quick, and I didn't play that long, but the danger in the end didn't seem to overcome my huge army. But your game was still running smoothly despite the army of shroom attacking ennemy who divide, and the white mushroom who launch as burp of attack are just too fucking good to see ! Love it !
Simple, but so efficient ! The different time are good, the stamina is stressfull, and the overall is just superb ! (you just need a music now)
Thanks for the new music ! (the modern times are so great !)
Ok, I understand the link to the theme only after some times (I was like "well, we kill people, that pretty much the opposite of the them- OH ! Ok I get it") But the overall game is actually pretty impressive ! Like there is a LOT of work for something do in so less time ! Like, really, congrat ! (and love the little people everywhere, it's even better when they burn, heheheeheheh)
Good one : the feeling of the character is good, and the wave of enemy is progressif but not too intense, I like that ! But an auto fire would have been cool (and some little more effect would have add juicyness to your game like a little screenshake or particle on dying ennemy or other thing like that BUT it's already a lot for a compo game ! To ask more is always a little hypochrit...)
The idea is here and work realluy well ! I would have love to see just one more "evolutionnary step" just to eat the other creature, but the game is already a lot for a compo game !
I really like how a certain "rhythm" start growing with the attack of the enemy then your turn, it's kinda cool ('specially when you have to return to defense mode, and not making too much bad move) It's bug me a little to see the theme not that present, but the visual and the work done is already impressive and well, the game work ! From start to end and it's fun ! So yeah : it's a success
Ok this game is just awesome ! The fact that you did it solo is so surprising ! The main mechanics got me immediatly just when it "start" (after the "cut") and the quantity of visual is impressing (cover, 2 back ground, the world, the intro/outro.) Like, who ! And the game is clear ! Congrat
Really trippy, a lot of variety and overall, just fun to control and play ! (the final set a perfect mood , it's so weird but cool)
A really cool concept well executed ! I love the "graphic style" of the start, and also the concept in term of mecanic ! But the game was a bit lagging. But... the game is loading, it's normal to be laggy ! :D !
The game works ! It's simple, it's clear and it have the little "rhythm game" part who work well, and even the the sound is not "super awesome" it's still lisenable after reaching high speed,which is something really difficult to achieve ! So congrats on that !
The game is way too hard but it's also way too beautiful ;_; I love so much the art style ! And the concept is cool ! It just bug me that... why do I have to slow down to be able to shoot ? It's so weird... And well it's cool to play it, it's too hard and any mistake cost you a lot of time unfortunately.
I like the style and also the mood (like, the little wave when you shoot portal, it's a cool detail) and the overall LD is cool, like, it have this feel ! It's a little short but it's not that bad !
Eh ! A cool game ! I love the colorfullness of the game (and the tail) and the simple mechanics ! Work well ! I hope the game could be "juicier" but it's already a lot for so little time ! Really good work ! (and love the mecanic of the angry virus who runing toward you) If I had one "true" complaint, it's how your own tail didn't kill you, despite what I think because of game like snake (while the wall kill)
@namidasai Thanks for all the compliment ! I have update the description, and there is a goal but because I also like to see this as a toy, I didn't want to make it too obvious (there is also an end hidden, with a clear "The end" if needed)
@mikoziq Thank you very much ! The simplest visual sometimes are the best ! (the music take more time, like, a lot more time... I'm glad it work !)
@zackavelli I'm glad that my game can be enjoy even after a major gitch ! Thank you ! I hope you already got the good music before outing (the tibetan song can be a agresive after a while)
@spiderhead20 Thank you ! I actually add some goal but I didn't want to make it to straightforward but : you have some collectible in the map (and also a clear end, with a little text) just for the player who want to have a closure ! Maybe it can interessed you (I also made the game playable on web, even if it's a bit laggy)
@indivicivet I didn't know that game ! My concept is clearly not the most original one, but I wanted to give it a try and do it "my way" to see where I go ! And i'm pretty happy with result !!
@sharkwithlasers Thank for all your compliment ! I'm glad to achieved a smooth experience despite so little time.
@geegaz It's clearly not well balance in the end, yeah... I made the final Level in 1 hours around the end so I didn't have the time to test it and just "imagine" how to make smooth and cool passage, but none of them work as I intend... Playtest are important for level design xD
Thanks for your compliment !
@thecakeconsortium Thanks you very much !!! It's really heartwarming to receive this kind of comment ;_; Thank you !
@lajazuve Eheh, thank you ! (the secret ingredient is that, it have a goal ! But I really wanted to not show it to much so people can keep it as a toy and not a game with a clear end.)
And simplicity is sometimes so effective, it still blow me away !
@effarek Oooh ! I love that toy when I was a kid (well, I still love that kind of toy, and I'm probably still a kid but still), I wonder if it's influence me...
Well, I'm glad to have succeed to convey the relaxation and the calm of my game development trough the game !
@rhoff95 Thank you ! I will see if I really want to add more of if the current one is already good. If I work on it, it will be more likely to fix the final LD which are too squeashy and not as enjoyable as the free running
@mohmehdi Agreed ! I already add 4 little collectibles for people needing a goal, but I think other idea could have been better, to keep the toy aspect intact
@m-trigo You're right, I would be more fun to trying to reach something getting pushed away... (I enjoyed the taiko sound a bit too much maybe ._.)
@jake-white Thank you ! I appreaciate that a lot ! (One day, I hope I will get better at Level Design, so I can make good level in a jam ;_;)
@kuro Thank you ~~~ I love to make abstract game and just passing by either feeling, sensation or metaphor. It's just... "purer" I think. (I also love to just make dumb concrete direct game like "you play a pigeon and you eat bread", but, like, it's good to not do only that)
@earlybard Thank you <3 I always prefer to make toy ! (but I still add a goal in the game for the other kind of player)
@strangeryann Ouesh j't'ai dis, au bout de 3h j'avais un truc qui me plaisait trop ! Je voulais pas le laisser sans le pousser un peu (finalement, j'aurais kiffer avoir un jour de plus pour faire du vrai LD dessus, et ajouter le tuto)
@tverdo Thanks you ! I hope you enjoy the walk n_n !
@tygrak Next time, I will make more room between the walls (and probably add an option to zoom out)
Congrats on getting good on the game, even I didn't succeed to get better
Vraiment cool dans le principe ! C'est dommage que lorsqu'on se retrouve bloqué on tombe à l'infini et qu'il n'y es pas assez de feedback au début de partie qui nous aide à savoir où aller/quoi faire. (à la limite, il faudrait presque un p'tit bouton "retour d'une étape en arrière" comme dans un baba is you si tu vois l'idée) ! hâte de voir ce que ça pourrait donner avec une musique original et des animations approprié !
Bonne chance !
I really like the music and the mood you set with this kind of "tamagochi". It's peacefull, but still a good way to make management game ! It's really tie to keep all gauges at best while keep the eye on everything and dealing with the activities who cost more A good game !
Oh no... the game really had me in the mood ! But it's too short ;_; Well, it's a good thing I find it too short ! The gameplay is really really cool and the overall style really have a mood, of fragility and weirdness with that visual and concept. And it's all so polish, I just wish for more
5080 point ! Not that bad ! I'm pretty happy with this score
But about the game : it's simple and yet so efficient ! Like, only one click, few little zone to click but a really trick to keep in mind every movement and to manage and anticipate the consequence of a click. It's simple but super efficient ! + the speed, the pace and the music really give an "intensity" feeling on that game !
I love the idea of the life point getting some physics when loose ! the juicyness of the game is top tier ! it's such a shame to have no sound or music to back it up, but in a solo jam, it's always easy to ask for more ! A good game in term of mechanics and really rich !
Probably the smoothest game of the jam ! Like, so cool, fluid and zen ! The concept is simple yet so fun ! I really love it and everything seems so polish and fine tuned ! Really awesome ! Congrats !
Awesome work ! Three very cool idea well done, with a pretty cool base (yellow goal, circle controller and flat design for the world) but each very unique in their style ! I love the art style by the way and the color fit well ! And I love how the game is playable without needed to click too (except to launch the game)
It's really the kind of game who, with just some visual tweaking, could be stunning ! The music set the mood perfectly (the theme change is perfect) the gameplay work well, even if it's ask you to wait a lot (which is good, like, it became part of the mood and the pacing ! ) and the progression is perfectly pace. The "mental map" I start construct to know where I go and where I need to go was a good thrilling feeling and in perfect adequation with the set up (space). ((I even had a little "Outer Wild" vibes)) And the final is :thumbsup: ! Overall, it's very polish!
The visual are also cool and work, but with like a little bit of post process (and maybe some little animation. But the one on the ship and the little FX on the black hole seem already enough !) I think it can be really enhanced and gove a big "wow effect" !
But for just a jam, it's already a lot and it's work so well !
Congrats !
Work really well ! I was really stuck in a loop because the game always hit me while I take a record, so I stay in the same score xD but I would love to ear the complete music when in full turret mode
The visual is really really cool and the different effect work well, but the noise of movement of the character is... I cut the sound because of it. The music is not that good, but still work and for just one person, it's still enough (like, I didn't want to cut the sound because I wanted to keep the music for example) For the game itself, the jump is a little weird and hard to predict, and when falling, the character stear away, but the idea and the puzzle behind each levels is pretty cool !
So, without reading what you said, I though the game was cool, a little heavy on UI, and too slow, but quite interesting and really pretty ! The music set a mood that I really like (I love ambient music ... so it's already win) But After reading you dev note, I want to congrat you ! For a first Ludum Dare is really really impressive ! Like really awesome ! It's always hard to start a game, and do everything by yourself, but how you did the music work so well (espacially when you start) and the visual are all good ! (like, there a lot of visual and you did a good one ! I love the visual style of the introduction and the overall style !
Well, i like the game (I didn't inish it, it was too long unfortunately)
It was some button mashing, but it was really fun. Like, some sort of routine start beginning but the pressure of time and this automatic press is so freacking intense, it pace the game perfectly !
It's an awesome mini game who also is good visually and musically (and thanks to let the option to cut the music ! I didn"t do it, but i'm glad you add that option )
Really cool graphics and even better mood ! The gameplay loop (die&retry, quickly) is really cool ! Even if it's a little hard/challenging, it's also commiting, they are clear pattern, and the controller is bouncy but fun (plus, the obstacle still allow you a lot of failure) so it's easy to retry and finally, to progresss ! Even if it's short, it was cool and good to play it!
the whole thing make no sense it was just puns and other puns plus some quirky physics
20/20 , would recommend to friends
I love the visual art style and the music (and sfx in general) who comes with it ! It really make the whole game outshine his core gameplay which is really simple but the visual make it really snappy and fun and quirky ! Really a lovable game !
It was unexpectedly polish ! The little detail like the music when you turn to a ghost and the effect when you're near the end of ghost mode is some really good idea ! It feel good and the level are big but don't loose yourself with clear area (maybe sometime, not seeing the element out of screen, but us able to see the player, can be hard but it's not that harsh and it's a game jam game, I already ask a lot)
It's a complete game and feel really masterize ! Congrat!
A weird little game, but I like the aesthetic you were going to, plus the "plotwist" you add. It's a "simple" game but it's a good try!
Really nice concept ! Congrats on making that in so little time! Impressiv'!
I absolutely love everything in this game ! I didn't finish it but I will, it's really elegant and cute and the artstyle match perfectly the precision needed ! To make that in a jam timing was really incredible ! Congrats !!!
Very cool idea but the platformer is a little quirky sometime (the ground become slopery and we can't jump ; the player goes trough the platform, or the moving platform but the player have to move too, little detail like that) But it's counterbalance by the awesome visual ! It's really awesome, with the background and the different level color, it's cool ! (oh, and love the little cutscene at the end)
@mahjoub Thank you very much ! Hope you finish to the end !
@bomb-x Yes there is an end to the game : ghost need to cool down or to be heat up. If you help them all, you'll get to the ending. But this is the kind of game where the experience is probably more important than the treasure at the end.
@phanelly Oh, thank you a lot ! That one of the sweetest comment I ever have... Thank you ! Glad that you enjoy it !
@mokiinwarp Thank for the compliment!!! I'm glad you like it. For the ending : you can help ghost, if you help them all, a clear ending will show up. But it's not that important, it's a "the true treasure was the gameplay and ambiance we experienced all the way" type of game.
@sirkovitch Thank you ! I love to make the gameplay first and then, seeking an atmosphere to fit it
@yotamco Eheh, glad you get along with it! The flow is important in this kind of game and I'm happy to see it work !
@aaaaaalois Thank you !
@samuel-hollywood-summers Thank you for taking the time to finish the game! I'm glad you succeed and that you didn't get bored~~~
@dagon Thank you !
@fabula-rasa There is 5 ghost and an end! But ghost are hard to found (it was kinda the point but still didn't work as intended...)
And yes, the theme get lost while it was very present at the begining of development : the bulb was a loose one, who was unstable and had to keep jumping or else, could fall and died, but it was too harsch. All the ghost should be unstable and move around, but it add too much to the workload and also were already difficult to find... In the end, I thinked that the dialog should convey the theme, but it's not that present too. I agreed.
@basset-romain Thank you ! But yeah, there is some bug on the deplacement, I did a lot of trial and error before getting a good movement gameplay... (the first day of the jam was dedicaded to that. Even the morning of the second day) but I'm glad it didn't ruin your experience
@manio Thanks for all your compliment ! I don't know how to respond but I'm really grateful I worked with a sound designer (aka Choucroute) for the sound, 'cause that really a field where I cannot do anything... He made the game feel alive and help the journey to be as pleasant as possible~~~
@feraligatr Thanks !
@ivysly thank you !!
@marc-jones Thank you! I had to have a good ambient and sound design for a moody game like this
@agentparsec It's a friend of mine who did it, and it was relatively simple to implement (we play random note from a list of "same key" sound ; and if we pick the same note twice, we repick. So it's really rare to have twice the same note but can still happen)
@spicyshiba Thanks you !
@gryhyphen I see the problem here and it happens time to time (the game hesitate between two light, and goes to one to another quickly. So, when you press the button, it "lock" another lamp but don't even have the time to show it. I wanted have add a timer to change the lock but it slow down the jump from light to light in quick succession, and didn't have time to find a better solution for it.)
But thank you for your lightwarming compliment! I'm glad you like it !
It was just too short... The graphism is really sweet and the feeling on the controler feel good, but we don't have time to really test it >_< it's frustrating.
It's like a good cake, but we cannot taste it because only a small fraction was serve.
But still ! It has a good feeling and it's always harsh to ask for more from jam game, I'm being injuste here
The little animation really work well and sell the "power" of the movement, and the physics, even if a little weird sometimes, is still fun to play with when moving around. I take a little time to understand what you want me to do in the game, but the score help me understand it and it became a little fun to do (frustrating some times but it's part of the game !)
The only really down side is the fact that the music don't have that much important in the game ... but it's still good
Congrats on learning new softwares ! It's always hard to take the first step. It's a bit sad that the shooting sound is too present (as it deflect our attention from the calm soundscape/ambiance/music behind and barely ear the reaction sound which seem more important).
A cool infinite game ! The deplacement is a little quirky but that's the spirit of the game ! Still cool tho ! Good job
I didn't reach level 10... It's a bit frustrating because sometimes, the ball bounce immediatly to an unreachable place But the gameplay is simple and clean and it feel good in hand !
Strange but innovative! It was buggy for me but because I have a bad mic
The visual and the art direction (plus aaaall the little feedback/animation) really help set a visual style, help by the universe
But the game is really hard to understand, and need more "gameplay feedback". He is also very hard (I would say a tutorial or a first "easy" enemy would have been perfect, but we're talking about a game jam game, so it's not really fair)
It's a really stylish game nonetheless! Congrats !
That was a twitsted story but really fun ! (remind me of cube escape but made in less time xD)
The visual style really fit the feel of the game! I love the whole principle and all the interaction that take place around you in the game, even if it's chaotic, it's the good kind of chaos !
It lack a little bit of sound design for the player action but else, it's really good!
The only thing missing : did I have to collect the 10 coins since the start of the new goal, or in total of the game ? Same when the "kill 20 ennemy" appear, did I start from 0 even if I killed creature before ?
The game is a bit hard to read and understand at first but the atmosphere and visual really work and standout ! The unstable mood and the feeling of always in danger is really present, and I get that good "i send my troop to farm at point" gameplay feeling that I really like from strategy game. Good game !
I made myself explodes... But it was fun to try decoding the recipe and make it !
Fun and easily learned ! Good little game ! Could be a flash game where schooler could spend too much time on it
The game is good but the ending is kinda sus...
Joke aside, the game really work !!! Congrats ! The levels are fun to play and to resolve, it start easily and increase freely in difficulty, it's really an pleasure to take in it !
The timer (2s) is maybe a little too short, but the speed of the cube and the controller feel good, and it would be too easy with more time (maybe a more clear timer on the cube?)
Still ! Congrats, great work ! Hope to see you work with a visual artist and a sound designer for the next jam to make a even better game !
Cute and (kind of) colorfull ! I love the color palette and all the animation made the game feel alive and well ! And most of all, the music is really powerfull and make me want to explose the high score !
Love the result !
The game is too agressif...
But it is really sweet , the color palette plus the bloom work really well (just the flashing effect are too much, could have been made smoother to not hit that hard and disctract that much) and the audio could have been so much cooler with the color and all... But I ask too much for a game jam game, that's already a lot made !
Weird but fun! A little disapointed that each day was the same, but I love the concept and how to gather information to survive ! (I'm happy to have been to the end of it)
The mood of the game and the variety of ennemy is really impressive! I always love "hack&slash" type of game in a jam, and this one work well (I still have some trouble understanding what the "cristal" are but the gameplay loop is here and good, thank for the different ennemy style) Good game!
The style and soundtrack work good, but the amount of information to absorb to be able to understand the game is really high from start! It's a sad because the complexity seem to allow for some really good mindbreaking reflexion and strategic planning!
@falkka Thank you for the gentle comment! The movement was the core of the game, so I didn't want to half-bake it. I'm glad it work well!
@arqitech Thank you! Yes, the game is still buggy, and zombi crowd is really messy and can cause glitches... I hope it wasn't too harsh...
@fae-pdf Yes! Thank you for complete comment! And I've the time to finally add the lore "in game" (it doesn't have to count for the Ludum Dare, but I add it because it feel important to me. And well, just let say that 1 minute in play is 1 hour in the game universe, that would feel better.)
And yes, I could have been fun to add momentum to the other attack... I didn't because the dash was kinda an "outsider" in my original game view, but it's could be good to test that way.
Oh, and for the "total heart counter", it is implemented in the new version (and even rewarded. That's why it felt important to me to have the intro/outro to the game, even if it didn't count for the Ludum Dare notation).
Thank you for all these feedback!
@mickxe You did your best, and that's what's important. (And thank you for the compliment, I'm glad you like it!)
@don-fouts I do wish too xD. Unfortunately, I already did overtime to make the intro and outro, I couldn't cheat more... Plus, I'm REALLY bad in music... But I would have like to contact a sound designer or musician to help me, but jam timing make it impossible. That's happens.
@chocolat-endive Thank you for all your feedback! And yes, some platforme are a little buggy and I did not tweak the LD enough to make it clear when you can reach a certain point or not (I kinda did the LD deep in the night while tired by the day... that what not the best idea) but I'm still happy with the overall result for something done in just one draft.
And thank you for the overall compliment!
@itskdog Thank you, I call that "shape and grade because my pixel art was bad"! I change that after taking half a day trying some pixel art character. The placeholder version finally was better (also, the nod to Ms Pacman was purely accidental but welcome!).
I add multiple jump to compensate the bad jump, but forget to show you how many jump you still have (and when you get them back). Maybe I will make a better version after the jam with more clear feedback too.
@gabbeeder Yes, I understand, maybe I should make it so each heart give more time. I had hard time to make the tweak because I'm use to the game but I didn't playtest it... But I hope you still enjoy the game despite these little problem!
@riley9 Thank for all your sweet words! I have in mind to make the "high score counter" to, at least, remember the highest local score, but I ran out of time. And I prefer to spend it into multiple ending which feel more "right" for my little game. It was also a little fun to write ending for when you collect 0 heart!
@eeaann9044 Yes, I should give back the jump when getting hurt, to help in that case... It's a little oversight. But I'm glad that the game feels good! It was a key point to me!
@reygis Thank you! I wanted to avoid the "end of the world" that most of people wanted to go first, and having a "sweet harsh" end seem like a very good mood to me!
@caeonosphere Yes! I agree, it would have been better to always move (atleast a little) when using it. Would also help to navigate in this big world !
@team-choo-choo Thank you ! I read the comment too late but I hope you had fun!
@satacat Yes, I would have to rework the jump if I want to continue the game... Maybe just changing the LD and making getting hurt by zombie make you recover your jump could work... But thank you for all the feedback and nice comment! Humour is always important to me (maybe too much)
Ok, I totally understood the opposite of the goal at first xD so, I did a glorious -8. But once I understand the real goal, it was really fun to annoy this little guy who just wanted to eat! And the polish is quite good! The second fruit is a good fun addition! Congrats
The ambiance and universe is really good! The control are a little "bleak" and it's a little hard to know what is "the right pass" from just decor/background, but it's really lovely and the game over who is just a wake up is a really good idea! I'm a little circomplex about the white figure and what it is supposed to be, but I like the game in the overall! Congrats for making it in so little time!
The gameplay is good and the Level Design is well made! I just have some trouble with the loot mecanics who was very much luck base and push down the overall quality of the game... But the idea is fun and work (well, some times zombie or trap goes as flashspeed in the stiar , but that was more fun than inconvenient, so no problem)
The whole work so well! The constant pressure keep feeling good, the music and sfx just vibes really wemm, and the gameplay loop are so cool! I didn't play well, but it really push to do the best each time ; and the little playtime help a lot. Good game design and good execution too, congrats!
It was awesome! I love the mood the music set, and the visual help a lot, but with the constant feeling of making equilibrium between gain and lost ; it really push me in a flow state that I enjoy from start to end! I tried multiple time, but never succeed (I loose because of the gold requirement, unfortunately).
A really cool entry! Thank you!
Nice game ! Love the little pacing and the whole idea ! It's a little short, but love it (but I cheat a lot on cliff, by jumping and forcing my way)
The visual is the best part too
Ok, how did you made this in such little time? That was awesome! Really feel great controller in hand, a good flow and so cool animation! The game was really short but for this quality it's fully understandable!
Everything in this game made me want to play more! I love this kind of crappy environement and the sound effect is so lovely unsetting! The gameplay is simple yet very clever! What a good jam game!
The visual is really cool and convey all information quickly ! It takes a little time to understand the game completely (maybe a little too much for a jam game?) but it work great after that!
I still find the game lacking a level of "what make you want to go deeper?" but it's really neat picking at this state : your game is already really cool and fun! And mix elegantly reflexion and rogue like, in a fun way. Congrats!
The talking gobelins and the overall idea is great! But the "polish" is not on point and the lack of certain feedback doesn't help to really understand what happen (the fact that some card stay from fall to fall, that we stay in the "same pit" etc..) but once it's understood, the gameloop is good and the mixed of playgame and reflex game is a clever idea! Nicely find and nicely executed! (even with the flaws)
A really fun and complete game! Congrats! I love the little animation (ok, I only found one, but still) and the overall concept, even if it ask A LOT to set up correctly ; but it's really fun to organize like that and move the folder or txt in the backpack or else. And also, I kinda like the fact that everyone can adapt the game to their need because we follow the rules as we want. It really feel confortable and help when we mixed up the rules or wrongly understand sequence (ok, it only happen twice)
Else, the game is just fun to play and the mood and visual is really on point~ Congrats!
I love the visual and feeling of the whole game and Level Design! The jump really feel great and the sfx is good! It's just a little weird to know what the turret actualy does, and to be able to see coin trough the wreckage of the platform. It's a little difficule but lovely to play!
A good little game! I reach the end (the timer reach 0) but nothing happen, I think you didn't have the time to make it, so no problem, the rest of the game stay good! The final is quite absurd but I think that how shm'up get good!
I still had some problem like a lot of "first shmup game" have, like a hitbox far too big, no reason to not stay on the bottom of the screen, no indicator of where the ennemy will come (it's not that bad, but when the screen is so small and the hitbox so large, it's quite a problem), etc. But it still make a good game, like, being able to restart the run but better prepare is fun, while also having the risk to lost it all : this is a good feeling , showing by gameplay! And that's great!
The goals of the game was achieve : I had fun!
It's a good first game, like, it have a lot of default (lack of feedback or a way to know how much you have progress/kill/how long you survive) but it's still have a little mood and it's a first game made in very little time : it's already A LOT to have something working in the end, and working good tho. Like, I enjoyed playing it!
Very fun! I had a little moment before I understand the use of the spike tower, but it's fun when you use them correctly! The visual have a really good vibes too!
A nice little strategic games! It's a little quikly but when the logic clicks in, the game loop work a little
The pitch sold me the game from the start. I'm exactly the kind of public for this kind of game, it really is weird and quirky but in an interessing way, and the limitation of the medium really just help convey the overall theme and message! It was great and lovely despite the """depressing""" tone!
Very hard and a bit rugous when starting, but it make a good flow and ressource management once you handle the pace. I wanted to see every recipe but it's get too hard unfortunately
It's a very little game but... I cannot find any "big" bad point! It was cute, music was good and really great to know it's time to switch Animation of both cat and the witch are just cute and fun! And the idea is really good to fit the theme. And I love this bad cat trying to get us down.
The only downside I have is that some feedback are lacking on the gathering of ressources and the instruction moving with the cursor is weird sometimes. But I pass a great moment so no regret!
Great way to make a detective game! Love the fact that it's sometime more about intuition than from puzzle. Love it !
Love the visual and music, remind me of Hylics and other weird surreal game that I love. I got the ending, but it was a bit sad to not having anything to do with some item !> The crown was disappointingly useless...
But it was still fun to discover these land ! Good entry!
So sweet and smartly done! The overall appeal of the game is just perfct : both cute and clear. And the whole game is just design in an efficient and cool way, love all the detail you manage to put trough! Congrats!
Really like a party hosting. Too much to do, and too many people trashing the place!
It was fun even if some element are quite are to understand, I had a sweet moment!
A really cool atmosphere and many little detail on the visual who sell it hard ! A little disapointed that the gameplay fell "short" with not so many people to talk to, and some island too empty ; but it's just a game jam game, it's normal to not have that much content.
But the detail like the waterfall fx or the way the character rotate when going different direction is just very sweet !
I made a score of 54! The idea was fun and I like the different changes that can happen, the Energy bar is, indeed, broken, but the rest is pretty neat in term of idea. It's just the visual and lack of polish who diminish the overall game. But for a jam, it's already A LOT in just one game. Congrat's!
The winning screen didn't appear but all my men were at the door so I think I win! Anyway : the idea is good and the base are here ; it's a little too hard to comprehend at first, since we don't know where to look at at first nor the control. But once it's one it , it has quite a rythme. It's a slow pace and the monster and the fact that the men run away is cool! It's still a little bit slow (maybe add more distance ? don't know..)
Cool level design and cute pixel art! The overall flow is a little bit stiff, and it should be cool to unlock some pathway to get back quicker because after we defeat all enemy, the run back home feel always a little long. But the enemy move and the "eat a nut to gain a live" idea spice up thing a little bit ! At last, the flickering when we move is straining for the eyes, but I think it's the kind of thing hard to fix.
@meta-link : I miss that, goddammit!
The game is still a little bit too buggy, but it seems to be because of the "reset" (if I refresh the game, it work well the first time). But I like the country music, the idea and seing the train just going by themself is a good feeling!
Cool game! It's a shame that we don't have really the time to read the headline because they are fun!
Love the concept and the narration! The character are a bit "bland" but it's hard to make them shine a lot in such little time : what you've done is alreay enorm for so little time. The visual are cool too! Congrats!
Truely unique and quirky and fun! I like the mood which callback on the old scanner or old equipment that post man can still have even today, with laggy and not perfect tool. I cheat a little by copy-paste the data in a excel and having the ability to sort the data, but I think it fit the game too!
Some of my favourite entry so far
The music is so funky! And the idea seem funs ! It's still a good prototype even if not everything works as intended
It take me many try but I finish by getting it! The explication are unfortunately not enough to understand the game due to the lack of certain feedback and readability of cerain element (the ufo on the left feel weird, maybe start in the center would have help gettin clearer ?)
But it's a jam so it's hard to ask "more" in this context , and once you understand how it work, it's kinda fun to trace the different path to get the delivery. The snooze loose is kinda harsh cause if you loose money you are getting further to the buy new drone who could help you. But it's still fun to have automatize element like that ! And the visual work !
Insanely good! Cute pixel art, a really cool introduction scene, visual good and the twist on the gameplay where you add element is really impactful! And is so polish too! Congrats !
The idea and the mecanic of fly/walk is really clever ! It's a good little game made in so few time!!! Congrat's !
I like the principle of the game but it's too reliant on luck. I could play perfectly and only make two box because I never see any eye for the whole playtrough, and my command was asking eye nearly everytime.
It's still a lot of work done, and for a first try on 3D, it's impressive how much you have done in so little time.
For a game made in one day, it's great! It lack some important element but you already made a list of them! The idea and the way the game is set up is clean and clever and this could make a good little game!
It was so cute and chill despite the heavy theme! It's a bit sad that we can't really help everyone, and mostly, that they cannot get help from others. But the mood and the style is gorgeous!
Love the steering mecanic! The lack of music is a down point, but the rest is super responsive and feel nice to play! The graphism is really cute and fit the aesthetic of the gameplay which is pure fun. The fact that you can't slow down is key, but I also like how, some time, it's perfect to let a delivery get lost (-2 pts) so you can focus on delivering some other quicker! That's a good balance and make the game a little bit stategic while kept frantic.
The pixel art is really cool but the element who slow you down are not highlighted enough, it's hard to see them clearly, it's unfortunate. It's also too "tight" on the camera zoom, we can't really anticipate where to go and thing like that.
But for a jam game it's still well done enough ! It's hard to have some smooth and responsive gameplay in so little time but you still have made a cool moveset (and the tuto is clever, even though it's probably the hardest part of the game xD )
So cute and so fun! It's really a clever design with the high/down system to define how much water you drop but also with the delay/inertia of the rain drop, but the all the interaction and cute visual sell the game to a higher level! It's polish and so cool! Congrats!
Poor new employees, who get stress even before they're getting to their desk!
It's a really simple but clever game! Well made!
Original and fun! The visual are or stunning but efficient, and even if the tutorial is a little "brut" it's normal on a tight schedule to have this kind of thing. The control and physics are what matter and here, it work perfectly! I wanted to make most of my time and try speed up but making more mayem in return! A really cool game overall who make me chuckle and really, is just fun!
The concept and the idea is cool and fun, but the implementation is too buggy to be enjoyable: the character get block to often, forcing you to restart multiple times, the restart button don't always work too, and the copy paste sometimes copy the wrong box. Even the moving part move while you walk on them.
It's still have something, because I try my best to reach the end despite all that, so, there is something in this game. But the bug hide it well.
Really enjoyable game ! A little bit of surprise, a weird idea done in a pretty clever way, a little difficulty but a real pleausre to win ! And some strategy came after a while ! And the mix of genre work really well ! With the exception of the graphism (even if it give a ton to the game) the game is a perfect example of a perfect jam gam ! I want more !
A cool game, but the fact that you have to stay at an exact spot don't really help to mixed the two gameplay. Most of time, we dodge car until we have an oppening to go talk with her. But the global idea and the way to make it graphicly was fun, and the sign to help you is REALLY a great idea ! And the control was smooth and easy, and I love the menu ! Like yeah, it' work !
Oh ! Another golf game like our ! Really like the way you make it ! A bit hard after you get 2 balls to shoot (I didn't pass wave 5, too difficult) but really fun and the explosive zombie was a great idea ! Even the physics of the ball works, but unfortunatly, it was a bit hard to know wich direction the ball will go between backward or upward, sometimes. Maybe it needed another visual hint to give this information ? Overall, it was cool !
An awesome game ! Like, immediattly fun, easy to understand, easy to play ! A lot of feedback, to make the game clear, a good gameplay cycle (don't know the exact term) and a really appealling aestethic ! Every thing work fine and make me only want to play more !
I loved that "Jet Set Radio" overall visual and music/ambiance/FX style ! I realluy catch me on (+ I work on a golf game too, so, I HAD to play this game) and the result was pretty cool ! A clever idea, well implemented, with the main feature who makes the game works ! I made a whole match , and I get in the mood to play it and enjoy it !
In the bad part : the "one , two, three, go" was too quick, so we see that there is 2 team, but the "2" who appear hide the ball, so the second camera position doesn't seem to have sense and we don't nescessarly know there is a ball on the beginning of the match (the blue circle help a little ).
I serously didn't see that coming.... Ok, maybe the graphism could be better but it also kind of part of the game and experience I think. In the other hand : everything work so much, it's really surprise to surprise, with a lot of humour and some plottwist following by another plotwist following by another plotwist, it really make the game lives !
you are exeprienced the goal of every game maker : to see people playing their game. Enjoy !
It work really well, the fact to be in first person change the overall perspective of the game, it's very pleasant to walk around a "tower" to see if you can make a cube navigate to a specific point or just to know what color there is! Strangely, even the fact that some cube are hidden and unknow add a layer in the game !
You give an other "perspective" (lol) in the mecanics like the destruction of cube wich then isolate some cube from another And the little detail like the cube who fall down and/or the fx give a soul of this simple game. Really like it !
Kinda "meh" with the overall game, but mostly because of the difficulty, the weird chose of input and the bug who occurs. But in contrast,the main idea was really cool, the theme of the evil eye who shoot at you (and the evil one who look at you O-O ) and some LD idea like the skippable tutorial, the floating text and multiple way to get trough rise up the interest and push to try more the game. So, in average : meh.
I really love this game and how much way to finish a level we had for the last ones ! It was really fun to try some shitty idea and sometimes succeed (like finish with only one canon the level) Plus, it was pretty clear and previsible how the game will go, and I luckily experience no bug, wich is pretty rare in a game jam. In general, I really enjoyed playing this game !
The main idea of the game was just epic ! And to play, it's pretty cool : i like the music and the graphic work fine But I didn't really get the link to the theme and what incompatible think was mixed together but I was enough enjoying the music and the french voice when I give the beer , to not give really a fuck. But when I get stuck between 3 or 4 guys (and sometimes only 1) it's really raging to lost "health" without any option to get out. It really appear after a wall of death mostly for me
But these was really cool ! To see everyone jump in the same time, evolve in a rythm really work, and the random pattern like wall of death or spiral (maybe a "pogo" will be great too, but I ask too much from a game jam game) made nearly an mesmerizing game.
I really enjoyed playing it ! The difficulty curves was well balanced, the game is really self-explanatory and we immediattly understand how to play it, and the little tricks can come in mind really quick ! I finish it maybe too quickly, but for a game jam game, it's perfect ! And the idea of the wall who follow you and stop you from running away + the two direction to shoot + the different type of ennemy was all great idea from the core mecanic and made the game work really well !
To be clear : IT WAS SO FUN ! Just fun ! Like fun fun ! And I never finish it, but I don't care ! It was fun ! And when I died, seing all these police car crash into each other like a Blues Brothers Movie was just so cool ! Fun ! I so love this game !
It was awesome-ly made ! The game is pretty self-explecit (even if I still don't know how to stop dog to have the violet smoke. I think it's link to the ball but I didn't suceed in it)
Otherwise, I have so much fun in pushing everything with the water gun against wall or in the air, while running everywhere to answer phone and doors, that push to a certain feeling I can't really describe but really like, both know what to do, and don't know what I actually do, my reflex do it for me. It was really enjoyablke, and the overall graphic is just so nice ! Really, a great good job !
To be sincere : it's gonna probably be the game who touch me te most in this jam ! I think it's mostly because of the art style (I'm a big fan of this drawing style, all the reference, and the childish idea with an harsh visual, it work so well, and fit the overall style of the game) and the music who is just awesome ! But also in a more level design approch the game is good : the collectable push to try some tricky thing, the solution are always clear but graduatly ask more, and the "final" is really intense even if I finished it before the camera can follow me wich destroy the momentum, but it still get me on the moment !
In the end, I just appreciate this game very much , thank for making this game !
Is that gold shower ?
I really love that game ! It bother me that you had nothing to get auto the thing on ground (like in Borderlands or Bioshock, when you maintain the take button) or an vaccum cleaner, but it was still fun to try to optimise the way to cultive and shoot at plant ! A calm but pretty good game, at my point of view !
The music really made the game worth it (and the overall style too) , even the main idea. But we clearly see you lack of time and can't debug everything. But the whole idea work and we understood quickly what's the purpose of every item or element (like the disco meter, even if the fact that you dance no matter where you are it's strange...) I like it, even unfinished
A really fun to play, quick but easily enjoyable game ! I really like the system of "ask" from the date, it's a really clever idea and really made the game flow pretty well, even if the game over was maybe too brutal. Other wise, the stupid physics was really well made for a 72h game and it really feel good to play it !
The main idea was just awesome and you think of all the little tweak who make it works ! Like the fact that you can change the direction you face to make the bloc go the other way ! Or the coin to collect o we don't get bored when we wait for the piece to fall (even if the stomp exist, it's more fun with the coin). A lot of good idea, a cool graphism (a little too rigid sometimes unfortunatly I think, but I love the back ground ! ) Overall : an excellent game !
Seriously, one of the best game I have seen on a ludum dare ! I love snakes (the animals) and Snake (the game) but you adapt it in a very good way that work immediattly ! The mix between the two idea is perfect : to be in competition with the one(s) you seek love/relationship his a great idea either on a gameplay point of view AND in a narrative point of view ! Plus the design, the different music, the little animation of the snake, their character, all this was awesome ! And the AI + game responsive was in the same level : too much for only a Ludum Dare ! I really love this game and his quality : it's proper, it's joyfull, it's about snake : all I love !
Ps: how did I date the grey one ? In the end, the snake ask me if I admire his, but if i say yes, i'm pathethic and can't talk with the snake again, or I say no and I get the same question every time I retry talk to the grey one. help !
@sintel Then, I will try again and again ! Thanks for the quick answer !
@lewis-quaife Thanks you ! Like you said, once the ball get stuck, it's hard to get her out, but a good old bazooka can help you !
@ninjapenguindan Thanks for your feedback, the first one is an harsh problem, we maybe should have make a forth weapons for really little distance ? Still don't know... For the RPG, it was indeed the last weapon who get debug, due to the "randomness" of the weapon by default, so , yes, he still don't do what we told him too, and, if you want, you can help us punish this bad weapons!
@mordokay We know that you know that we know that you really achieve this game ! And hope you could relax without having to study !
@bradalli Yes, I needed a bit more tweak to be more precise, but a lack of time and efficianty block us.
@elionagashi Wow, all the teams thanks you back ! And Batagogo was the one to thank for the automatic respawn (well, a bandage on a open wound, but still, likeyou said : we can manage to continue the game). And more than speedrun, it's to make all in one bullet who could be super ultra mega impresive (turbo championship 2). And maybe we will make a "defenitive edition" of this game (turbo championship 2, of course)!
@drunkardwolf Arsh, I totally forget to balance the speed of the mouse vs the joystick speed (yes, the game can be played one joypad) but, for the SMG, I totally agree, we need some tweaks to make it better, and cleaner !
@ultrabill You bet, you sneaky ninja !
@gozz The first shot is always the most important, it's a great lesson that I have learned.
You catch the concept of our game (even if, unfortunatly, we want to make it precise... We really don't know all that goes in this weird little baby born in 3 days)
And: argh ! I forgot to put back the dead zone !!! I knew I have forget something.... Damnsh!
@fran-segura Thanks for the feedback ! We should probably fix that too... -look back at the list of everything that go wrong on this game as a developper- yeah... maybe.... But I hope you still enjoyed it !
@drikdrok THANKS YOU ! YOU ARE GREAT ! And never stop use the SMG ! It's made for this ! No matter how many shot, only the success is important ! Yea- oh? The escape button didn't work ? Godammit, the coder will hear me ! Wait... I'm one of them... I will hear myself, it's gonna be tough ! More serously : normally it make 3 seconde to quit, so if it take longer, it's clearly a glitch... Sorry about that.
@captainpilot Thanks for the feedback, yes, I know these little zone . I recommend to people to not go this way, it could be dangerous ! In a more serious tone, we should make it a way that it always came back to you (that the main reason that the second map is curve).
@dob The randomness button was probably push too much ! But if it was not enough to ruin the fun, that's mean that our goal as a team to make people laugh and have fun , are achieve, and that : that's priceless. So thank you for playing our game !
@jk5000 We probably should have done more tweak, yes... You can change weapon but it's still need more tweak I think
@yirggzmb The music help a lot, but to be sincere : I probably lost to much time just enjoying seeing this porr ball going to the moon !
@jimbly Sorry for the mouse sensivity ! Should have fix that earlier... But I'm glad that you appreciate the large choice of club and realism we offer.
@arche-san The first shot is the most importante one ! Our First Person Golfer provide a great experience of realism since the first stroke ! I hope you enjoyed the other club we offer to you !
@jima Unfortunately, we work to make it clean but in the end it look like we've done a thing like : if(shot) then direction = random; force = random; noise = duck; when we actually made some raw and harsh math calculus. I mainly think that the bounce does the most of this weird un-predictiveness. But I'm really glad that you enjoyed the game ! It's the main reason of what we make game !
@jacklehamster Merci pour la vidéo ! Juste pour info : il est possible de changer d'arme en scrollant! Bonne chance sur youtube !
It was a pain for both my finger ! Like to win, it so hard and ask so much stamina.... That was so much fun. Like, yeah it ask stamina : like a real one ! And the nescessity to dogde zombie, so to always stay alert is great ! Despite the fact I have to totally neglige the bottle throw to succeed, I really like the feeling of sucess at the end, and even the very common and sometime frustrating death were.... well, not that frustrating. The game over screen work really well, and see an army of stupid zombie go to our bodie with that music was actually... anti-frustating ! Like, I could just sit here for 1 entire minute just see it then go back try to beat that fucking game !
And even if I always tell myself that you could cut down by just 10% the lenght of the run, afterward, I ask myself if this wouldn't have decrease the intensity of the victory ? Well, I don't have the answer of this question
Golf with guns ? Stealer of idea ! But yours style was a little different ! It's fun to see someone with the exact same idea and how we set thing differently (like changing weapon by scrolling or button for use , while it's one a table. A lot of people for our game didn't knew they're were other weapons )
Not really original, not "incompatible" and I am not a fan of the too pixelise graphic, but it work ! Like, i enjoyed playing it, and i was running back and forth to try to goal and beat my opposant ! It was fun and cranky and good ! So : good game ? Good game.
It was really well done ! The graphism and the little movement feel pretty weird (in a good way) and all this put in a special mood of horror , and , in a pure game design point of view, it work really well : as a player, we keep doing it, beside knowing what will probably happen, and we almost have that evil voice asking to see what can happen of more terrible when we come further in the game ! And the "false end" only push more this feeling ! Really, a great game and a horrific experience !
I beat the second level but never the third ! It was too difficult to keep in memory wich color is wich finger (maybe if the highness in partition were link to the color...) I also was a little down because the rhytm didn't match the music, but it's a jam game, I ask for too much ! Because, in the other hand : the idea is great, pretty well implemented (maybe the block who need 10 combo, could have a visual hint to understand that, cause it was a little unsure how to break it...) and the polish on some feature was awesome !
I rage quit after the second level with the fuel reserve (the one in spiral form) but it was really well made, simple but powerfull!
Unfortunatly, I can get more than bogus and Fumiko (and park) and I don't know if the game save progression... I will see tomorrow if it does, but : I really love the overall graphics , the animation and the dialog ! The idea and all text are pretty fun and it's motivate imagination, but the fact that you didn't unlock so many new thing in the first hours of gameplay down the enjoyment. Plus, one of the reason these two theme are not compatible is that you miss the main moment when you cross a step in relationship (even if you unlock new interaction and you have to do the first one, you miss the level up and the silly sentence who get along with it !) So, I really like it, but maybe I have to give it more time (wich is good for both of the genre you mix !)
It was not a "fun" game, but it was a realy cool and impressive game ! I give it my time, to finish it, and it was really plesant ! Just the duration who was nescessary, some really cool feature, like curving, stopping time or reverse, it was all great idea ! And even the "atmosphere" of the game was in, and push me in a strange case where I play, get challenge, but still enjoy it ! It was not a "entertainment" fun but more a "I learn and I overcome" fun ! Somethings that lot of metroid vania try to reach, and that you perfectly sum up with this gems. Sincerely : it was great to play your game
The whole physics and visual add a lot of strange humourous timing in the game. It's hard, very tense, but dying feel as much funny as frustrating (well, I didn't find the exit so the frustrating bit was maybe too high for me). I still wonder how to solve this labyrinth (I find a big place with huge colomn but die and didn't find the strenght to try to get back there)
Also the audio is very cool ! And obviously the dot-pattern visual is top! And in line with theme. Congrats!
The visual are stunning, and while I understand only the big stroke of the story ; I loved how the visual followed the poetry. It make the puzzle engaging and make the player want to go deeper each step!
I don"'t understand the 26 in the end tho (is that how many time I push button in the last puzzle ? I think it more like 100 xD)
I LOVE this type of game. It's a lot of text and I'm no english-native-speaker, so the use of both old-english term and fictional language is harder than ever , but the challenge was fun! I'm sad that you can't select which heir is the rightful one , but for a jam it's already a HUGE game.
I wish we could add "possible translation" above the different term we cross (as in Chants of Sennaar) which can be both funny and useful, but I understand the lack of time.
Congrats!
So cute! Really like the whole vibe of the game, the music (even if repeating it each time you lose is very frustrating) and sfx. It have a very cool feel to it!
And it did very polish for a game made alone in only 3D9/7 days! congrats!
oh, we have the same concept for our game (finding thing with sounds) , it's funny to see a game build around that! And nice backroom ref
I only finish 2 ending and can't find the other 3! (I get the "good ending" with the skull, and the "best ending" with the message. I also try to get all dialog possible !)
Very cool game, I would probably try again later!
I was a bit doubtful of the visual when I was looking at the screenshot, but when in movement, the game works really well! The paralax add a good feeling to the game, and even if the game stays easy ; I really like the challenge and the final!
I love this style of game, I just hope you had the time to add more visual hint. If you make more of this game, I would love to play the full version!
The core idea was really fun, to switch the card effect and trying to anticipate how to optimize each card. I was still really luck-dependent in my run (sometimes I have no way to return to signal up, and nothing toi attack the popularity) but it's still fun !
And awesome graphics!
One of my favourite game from the jam so far. I love Obra Dinn or The Roottrees Are Dead, so puzzle game like that where you start making connections from people to people is my precise cup of tea.
The execution in term of puzzle is really good (I just have trouble on the last day to figure out why the guy who talk about the leaking appartment above , need to be link to he nephew (the aunt has move to his house? It logic out of the box, but nothing indicate that the aunt wasn't in her home, so it feel like a huge gap when you're trying to decipher 3 puzzle at the same time) and I like that you kept the message in the log book.
The biggest problem are the numerous bug due to 3D jankyness and some cable who looks deconnect but are still connected. Maybe making the game in 2D with false "3D-ness" would have been better? But it's a lot to ask in a jam setting.
Anyway, very cool game! I loved it! Would love to see a full game like that where you can add info on people by hand to spice up the whole game
Remarkably well done! While it's really hard to navigate all the option and menuing, it make the game tense while being slighty slow. The limitation of signal distance is frustrating but in retrospect, it force the player to play quick when a plane is in range, and so, prioritize the right decision, creating moment of tension.
Also the visual is just very clean!
The mood for this game is pristine! I love the analog feel that you get by only using mousewheels
My first run I destroy almost all cities and no message was sent anymore. I restart and try to follow the second plotline, but it was really really too slow. I like the feeling and mood but it's become a little too long in the end (and yes, the ability to make the button go full 360 would have been cool at least for the "angle" button)
@pres2300 You did play as intended: we have definitive and clear translation for each sentence, but "close enough" is "good enough". If people find out the answer just from one or two shape, it work.
And thanks for all the kind word!
@hhch thank for your effort: trying to learn new language is hard, so going through two langage is even harder! And I'm glad you still had fun
@sarah No worry, the game is a little hard to explain. Let me try here: You need to play with the pdf next to you. When the banner with "A new package is here." in alien langage appear on the screen, it mean that an invisible package is somewhere in the map. You need to find it via your scanner: when you get closer, the light bleep faster, the music goes louder. (you can click, press SPACE or ENTER when you're on the point) Once you get the package, you have to deliver it to the correct character. To find who it is, you need to decipher the text on the scanner's screen, with the .pdf. Once you deliver a package, a new one will arrive.
I hope it get clearer, and I hope you find time to give a second chance to our game!
For the .pdf : We wanted to have like a physical element, not in game, but it was hard to put in practice. The pdf was the easiest solution to meet that goal.
@victoria715 Thanks you ! We wanted to have a physical element with the game, but it wasn't feasable for a web-jam, so the .pdf was our compromise.
@500 : thank you !
@lastuck Thanks you! I'm glad I could work with such good artist! (I was the coder in the team)
@flowerfield-games : You're right. If we had more time, we would probably try to make a proper tutorial.
@gkthegkpchannel : you've win the "best comment" contest so far, we're so touch <3 ! [You'reCool.PNG](///raw/e42/a/z/726f1.png)
@absolute-garbage : Thank for all your praising <3 If we make a post-jam version, we will probably do that, yes.
@transkuja : Thanks you ! @fae-pdf is the one who invent the whole langage AND made the whole pdf in like, only 3 days. Huge work!
@christina-antoinette-neofotistou "bubble bubble bubble" is also my favorite quote from the game!
@nekuake : thanks for all the praise! Polishing the game is always fun when we have time (but in jam, we have very little of that...)
@fadex The game is a little hard to explain. I explain it in the comment earlier, here how it work :
You need to play with the .pdf open. When the banner with “A new package is here.” in alien langage appear on the screen, it mean that an invisible package is somewhere in the map. You need to find it via your scanner: when you get closer, the light bleep faster, the music goes louder. (you can click, press SPACE or ENTER when you’re on the point)
Once you get the package, you have to deliver it to the correct character. To find who it is, you need to decipher the text on the scanner’s screen, with the .pdf ; and try to understand who need that package, from their look or the phrase they say when you're near them. Once you deliver a package, a new one will arrive.
I hope it get clearer, and I hope you find time to give a second chance to our game!
@nadia-pixel : I agree with you, on both aspect. But we wanted to make something with a physicality, who ask from the player. We know it's a barrier, and not perfect for the Ludum Dare, but we were okay with it and the consequence. And it makes the comment from people who enjoy the game even more heartful to us!
Very cool idea, work immediately, with a clean UI! The only down sides are how much it depends on luck (like, I cannot get 50 pink dot, even if I used all the pink element perfectly) and the link to the theme (we send signals, ok, but what does it mean? Whzt the link to mine?)
Seriously, that a whole ass game. The quality is so high in every aspect, you've done a wonderful job!
I love the 2000s vibes that the visual and music give! Weirdly enough, the eyes who make cross pattern attack was fare more difficult to beat than the rugby boss (even the blue hp one)
Still, fun idea to mix two type of game to unlock new abilities!
I've got the bad ending!
Very cool visual with a fun concept, discovering the new alien is a reward enough to push you through replay ; and the different ending help too. I'm still a little disapointed that my first ending was a "you have no art anymore" while I have the "inspiration" perk.
I leave the 6th level without planting the bomb, oopsie. But I came back to finish the job, I promise !
Very good game, the musicality of the movement help a lot to find yourself in the sheet rythm. I would have been super cool to have a "self destruct button" to quit the sequence when we know we fucked up the sheet ; but in a game jam, it's a lot to ask.
The only big down point is the lack of music in the intro and outro. It's a bit jarring
Except for that, I have nothing but good to say about this game!
Nice ideas ! Unfortunate to be so much buggy, but it's hard to make a clean game in a jam. I'm proud to say that I reach the end
I didn't succeed to complete the game, I was too lost on some puzzle. By I like the main idea and overwhole style! The oppening sequence in pixel art is stunning! I still understand how I pass some puzzle tho. (I end up block on the "SPACE" puzzle. I see the order, but where and how I should use "space" on it is lost on me...) Cool game even if it beat me!
A lovely visual and a lovely music who works in sync! The gameplay is a little to banal unfortunately, but the moment it sped up is a good rush! I'm happy to say that I beat the game, tho!
Cool idea! I like how it run, but the fact that the signal are not on any "beat" of the music feel so strange to me (especially since the game is name "BPM") but it's more of a detail. Cannot beat the 5th guy, I got lost in the input. Which is cool ! There not that many input but you still find way to make the game feel difficult but not unfair, and all of this in a game jam ! Congrats!
Good mood, but a little weird on a lot of aspect (probably due to time constraint, it's a jam after all). It's a little sad that the choice to "be safe" lead to just avoid any spooky stuff.
