so crazy camera and control
Haha, nice idea. Really fun game. I like it.
I really enjoyed playing this game. Great one. I think I'll ruturn this game again and again.
I want some minimap here. Also one little bug: for the second and so on game-sessions character is placed in the wrong place on the starting map.
My score is 3181. Funny game, but where is evolution? Okay... I readed readmy file and understood that it is perfect game because it can be submitted to any contest with any theme.
Cool graphics but I didn't understand how to play this.
About trial-and-error and some unlogical combinations all you are rigth.
In the Doodle God hint button helped a lot. I planned to add this button, but time was over. I had to do more logical combinations, but there was a few of time and idea to cover all periods of Earth life.
So we have that we have. I think it is normal for 48-hour work. I'll upgrade the game to more sweety state, but not in borders of the contest.
2saguaro Oops, I'll try to catch the bug.
2Sestren Try to update DirectX9c drivers (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35) and MSVC2008 Redist (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29)
good game
I went through this game. Cute one, i like this. Not so epic, just good small game.
2rylgh: I didn't play Spelunky, but I seen some walkthroughs on YouTube. And yes, my game is similar to Spelunky but I understood it when half of the game was already done. After that I tried to make some things not similar to Spelunky, but anyway the game reminds it. May be it means that I implessed be Spelunky and should try it by myself...
2wally2069: On early levels (befor 15th) you always can reach the exit without using bomb. Also you always can reach the exit on the shop levels. And you never can be trapped becaise blocking wall is generated on some distance from your start position. May be you don't know that you can break crates just hitting them?
2Tifu Good idea. I think in update I'll add some bright arrows to show the start and the exit in the beginning of every level.
2TobiasW I just didn't sleep about twenty-four hours to have time to make all that I planned. In the shop you can buy potions and bombs (you can see amount of them you have in the rigth part of screen) and equipment (increases attack and defence; you can see your equipment on main hero). And sorry about Z/X/C, I forgot about germans =_= I'll add into update switching the controls.
2igleyy: Looks like you didn't have installed OpenAL.
The official site is down, so I uploaded installer on RGHost for you: http://rghost.ru/private/48399546/25f8d17f10b7dd134e00e04b0b868e51
Hey, people with german keyboards! Try the fixed version!
2gritfish You need install OpenAL. You can find link to install package in requirements section.
2rylgh wow, looks like you spent a lot of time to get 91th floor!
2all: thanks for found faults! unfortunately now i have no spare time to fix it. but i think i'll make more improved big version of this game in near future...
2rylgh Incredible! But you are right, on last floors the game becomes easier. After about 50th level the game generates floors with same parameters whereas you still get level up's and increase ATK and HP.
I think I'll make small fixes (bugfixes, more smooth controls and may be a bit polished balance) in the current version when I'll have enough of spare time.
But for new features I want fully rewrite the game (of course, main gameplay will be same). I have many ideas what to add into game. For example, different types of background, branched system of dungeons and Hell levels after 100th floor with boss that you should kill during several floors. But before that I want to see result of the contest)
Simple and cute. Really like graphics!
Is it bug? I can heal myself between levels (when it shows message about gem and timer is stopped).
Interesting game)
My score is 487, after that I'm tired to play and lose...
Anyway, good idea, graphics, sounds and implementation.
Really good one! I used 20 probes to finish it but I could use only 15-16 because I spent some of them to see what is in the right side from elevator.
Really good one! I like graphics, music and using the theme.
I stucked on level presented on screenshot. Maybe I return to it later.
You another very good entry.
Titlescreen music is great! 5 minutes and 2 wrong tries to understand how to play... And then I won 2 times.
AI may be way better. Hint for good strategy (it may by simply implemented if you have enough of programming skill): move all your people to borders of country and spread them almost evenly between provinces for defence. Then accumulate all new people in some inner province. When you will have enough of people, attack some neighbour country and quickly move accumulated people into the province from which you removed people for attack. Repeat for win.
My score in 2nd try is 160720. Good game.
Hehe, I cooked 26 items. Hint: don't try to cook more than 1-2 items in same time. And when you cook two ones, start cook them simultaneously.
Really fun game. I like disign, graphics and leader's wisdoms. Ticking ten seconds in my head was fun too.
Great game! Stucked on four stone blocks that move in different dimensions. Good job!
Finished the game on Easy. And it's just incredible! Great gamedesing, art and sounds. A bit buggy though. Anyway, great job!
Great entry! Played it ahout a hour. One of the best entries played so far. Well done!
The best entry tried so far. Good job!
Really enjoyed playing it. A face without skin and creepy music set mood very well! Unfortunately there are some bugs and glitches (sometimes some pieces of skin don't disappear and one time the game become frozen when I cut off piece of skin connected to whole skin by only one point). Anyway I really like the idea. Well done!
Very addictive. Good work!
Really cool and so hardcore! Reminded me They Bleed Pixels because of colors, hardcore gameplay and good controls. Well done!
Fully finished the game. It's more enjoyable than I assumed. Increased some ratings to 5 stars.
@xevozfighter, I use this file hoster already the 3rt LD and it's the first problem with download. Try to download the game a bit later.
@Green Lightning, the game is fully controlled by mouse. For building metro lines you should change view mode (you cannot build metro lines seeing things on ground).
@xevozfighter, @Lacaranian, created mirror on Dropbox
@osthekake, you should take into account diagonal segments of the lines. Only on diagonal segments you can intersect line segments and only on diagonal segments you can create new stations. Also you can create new line clicking on any station. Be careful: you cannot fuse two lines into one. To connect two different lines (and make "loop") you should buuld a station on intersection of these two lines. To see lines painted with different colors you should pick "Metro Subway Lines" Mode in the right panel.
@JavadocMD Utilization stats of the subways are implemented in post compo version (I wanted to add it into the compo version but had no time).
Oh my god! You created really solid horror game. Couldn't pass the first level with red head, but then understood that it came aggressive by light of flashlight. The next level after it - not to look at the red head, NOT TO LOOK AT THE RED HEAD, ouch, so many hives, BANG! Oh no! OH NO! NONONO! GAMEOVER =_=
Haha, very nice entry! I like worm and black spiders. Well done!
Really like the game! Finished 2 times on normal but it's too hard for me on hard difficulty. Well done!
Finished full game (and level 4 too), need more levels! Especially want to mark a good music and sounds. Well done!
At the first run I quickly lost two ships before understood how to play and got 28700. On the second run I lost only one ship but got less than 10000 because of strange island came from the deep and spawned strong enemies. On the third try I got about 18000 and saved all ships but strange island killed me again. Hmm... looks like this game should be more balanced.
Anyway, great work, I lile graphics, music and simple gameplay. Weel done!
Good game! Played about half of hour.
Really nice small puzzle game! Finished in 189 actions (about 100 moves for the last puzzle). Good job!
Good game, finished on the 3rd try. Well done!
One of the best entries tried so far! Finished the game in 10 days (on about 5th try) and 88 of people died. Good job!
Just awesome puzzle game with elements of Metroidvania! I reached rooms with stone walls and looks like the maze is really big. I'll definitely do the the second try with piece of paper to draw all rooms to don't get lost. Great job!
Returned to say that I finished your game (without piece of paper). Your game is one of the best entries I have tried so far!
Really good game desing, I like it! It's simple but complete!
Well done!
Firstly tried to touch all switches but only later understood that I just can fire them. It's very hard to jump over so small platforms with nonstandard gravity vector! Finished one level on not so hard settings but then felt myself dizzy...
Good animations, but boring gameplay.
The boss is amazing!
2Sharky: that's strange, because it runs in 60fps on my laptop and eats about 2% of the processor time.
2cutandreil: i had to time to implement grandma's reaction; without additional key in the second dungeon it's possible to stuck, but i have nice idea how to use this key in full version of the game (in this version not implemented yet).
Nice entry! Catched me for 20 minutes!
Just amazing glitch game!
Whoa! Very simple and very addictive! The music is great! Good game!
Amazing! Nice survival with Binding-Of-Isaac-like controls.
That's so weird but so fun. It would be cool to make "game over" and "you win" on different screens. Good work!
RPG pinball? Excellent! So much fun!
Cute. Minimalistic.
On the last try I found the brown key and then accidentially killed on the very first trap. Agrrr... But the game is very nice!
Hamburger on steroids. Very fun!
Very nice entry, one of the best one i've tried so far. It's simple and looks finished from all sides: design, gameplay, graphics and audio. Good stuff!
popcorn897, thank you for the bug, it's fixed now.
Bashabookoos, RoryD, I've done some bugfixes and built version with statically linked Runtime Library. Try them!
It may be HUGe fun if not so slow movement.
Too bad you didn't implement the final screen. Anyway, really moody and addicting! Also I afraid there is impossible to lose here.
Really cool puzzle! Love it!
Really cool puzzle and very addicting. But complete ignoring of the theme is not good!
It's weird but so fun!
Finished the game. I like hat of the final boss! Some pearls are so difficult to reach! Anyway, Good work!
2commodoreKid: Yep, I'm thinking about remake of this game for PC and mobile too.
2orion_black: For the most puzzles I just tried to solve random configurations by C++ solver written for this game. And then for solvable ones further developed it to finish state making small changes and handled the level by hand.
I think levels may be more complex and cannot be solved by simple strategy. But the current levels do not illustrate all possible variety because they were made in just one day.
2BoxedMeatRevolution It's possible that the game works with fps much less than 60 on Win10. The game detects clicks checking mouse button state on two consecutive frames; for low fps you may make the click between frames and the game won't detect it. Try to press mouse buttons slowly (hold and release it with some delay).
From my side I'll try to fix the problem if I find an access to a Win10 machine.
Excellent! Actually it's just an horizontal arkanoid with jumps. But implementing of it is a masterpiece. I love the sounds. Great work!
Excellent! The game mechanics is simple, but is has a lot of little extensions to be not so boring for a long time. I like different movement patterns of the enemies, shocking and firethrowing abilities of the them, my own ability to bounce jumping on enemy's head. Music and art are very moody.
Unfortunately, I stuck on one level when I ate all enemies except one and was too big to fit into the hole in bottom of screen. I do not remember number of the level and I did't made a screenshot (and I closed the game pressing random keys trying to restart the level), but I can recall that the level has a dragon in the top of screen, big knight at bottom and very small knight over whom you cannot to eat if you are too small. I think a restart button may solve this problem.
Anyway, great work! This game is one of my favorites.
Simple and hard. I like shield system of the ship. It would be better if the enemies do not have aimed shooting to you, bullets are a bit bigger and a bit slower as in classic bullet hell games.
Excellent! Althought I finished the game at the first attempt, the 5 minutes of the gameplay were very fun. I like upgrade system of my ship.
I suggest the survival mode, where you have no limit of 5 minutes (imagine the hyperspace module is completely broken) and you should survive as long as you can.
Reminded me Dungeon Keeper in point of dragging and dropping units. Fun game!
Nice little game.
It was crazy to play it on touchpad pressing left and right buttons to explode the bombs. Fun game for 5-10 minutes.
Excellent implementation. I like graphics and the style. But the game itself is too simple to play for long time.
Interesting.
Simple and addictive.
That's pretty hard! My best score is 1036.
It's harder than Super Meat Boy! Stucked on the 3rd level, after 50 deaths just passed to the bottom part of the level. Anyway, very interesting game concept.
Interesting puzzle game. It's very similar to my game for this LD.
An interesting one. Too bad I cannot hold it for a long time.
My right hand beat my left hand! 180Mb for game of such kind is overmuch, imho.
Whoa, so much gold to collect! Love the pixel art. It was very fun to jump over jelly monsters. Also maybe it's a bug - the game generated the same dungeon for a few times.
Simple and fun. Very like the music. But all levels are identical, so it's funny for not so long time.
After talking with a snowman you are running in a forest at night jumping over mad deers and bloody rivers while ground behind you just falling down from under the feet. Very surreal game. But I like it!
Nice. Tornadoes throwing sharks were very fun.
