Thank you all for your feedbacks. We had definitely not enough time to balance the game's difficulty, we both goes to work on monday and it restrain the time we had to tweak some gameplay details. But eventually we thought about releasing a final version once the votes are finished (not to interfere with it) with some new monsters at night and an improved difficulty. Thanks again folks !
Quite fun, maybe that left ctrl attack lacks a bit of ergonomy.
Just awesome, this is so well made. At the beginning I kept losing and thought the timer was too short, then I understood it was the perfect amount of time. You people are monsters. ^^
Very fun and an impressive amount of polish too. Especially loved the grabbing-things mechanic. ^^
Simple yet efficient graphics and music for a pretty moody result. good job ! ^^
Nice, works really well, lacks a little bit of audio. ^^
Quite difficult but fun. ^^
Very fun, very cute, awesome voice acting. >_<
Very cute little game, you nailed that tower defense difficulty / stress balance very well. ^^
Works really well, would have liked more variety in enemies (and maybe less of them). ^^
That arcady feeling works very well, good job ! ^^
Very original gameplay, audio and graphics are perfect for the game. Very cool ! ^^
Very impressive attempt at RTS, pretty hard on the first try, maybe a tuto would be a plus. ^^
Simple yet very fun, good job for a first game ! ^^
The floaty controls and the harsh difficulty curve make it very difficult to progress.
Very fun, goes from "Ah piece of cake !" to "OMG this is f****** hardcore" (I kind of sense like a little Nuclear Throne in the aesthetic). ^^
Loved the overall cuteness, and... That music. >_<
Except for the lack of clarity on when to activate the shield everything is just perfect. It plays, sounds and looks fantastic ! ^^
Very nice graphics, except for that confusing combat mechanic i really liked it. ^^
Cuteness overload (or is it ?). Loved it. ^^
Hey, even without proper ending I really liked the mood of the game. Music and graphics are very cool, good job. ^^
Good idea, I had to complete the tutorial via trial and error, maybe some more explanations would be needed. ^^
So meta, loved it. ^^
I think some libs might be missing from my computer, nothing happen when I click the .jar, could you add some help with that in the description ? ^^
I really liked the twist but the "good" ending requires the most boring gameplay.
Simple but efficient, loved the curious eye on the menu. ^^
Really liked the graphics but the fixed jump makes the game harder than it should.
Very nice ! I really liked how timed events bring action in puzzles. ^^
Loves the music and overall mood, very cool mechanics too. ^^
Graphics, audio, controls, gameplay, everything is extremely solid, your game is so cool ! ^^
Nice but the mechanics are quite cryptic, maybe a tutorial or just more informations on how to attack would be helpfull.
Quite fun, the human attack hitbox is quite dangerously big.
Very cool puzzle mechanics, lots of content too, excellent job here ! ^^
Just 5 stars all the way, that was brilliant. A little bit confusing at first but overall just an excellent short game, Thanks!
Kind of confusing at first I ended up really getting into it and surviving all the waves. Movements are awkward due to the size of everything on screen getting in the way and I had trouble understanding what I should do but in the end it is a very coherent game with a lot of style, congrats!
Enven if the audio and overall fun of the game would have been enough you definitively get five stars for having capitalism as the enemy. The simple faces and arm animation give a lot of character to those celestial bodies, just lovely ^^
Oh well, up there with my favorite games from this Jam. The huge team must help but anyway, a very pretty, moody and polished game, congrats! (I will definitely keep the post-jam version around to see the other endings)
Nice puzzle platformer, visuals are simple but I really liked the music. Lots of levels, quite challenging as well, just a good entry well done!
When going to the next day if the papers are up they get pushed down but I cannot put them back up, I play on Linux through Wine so maybe the issue come from there. Anyway I managed to take the habit of closing it at 18:00. I ended up playing it way more than other games I tested and absolutely was not able to win, but I'll go back. My favorite game in the Jam so far, giving off a bit of a Papers Please vibe. Nothing to add really, just a very well made game, congrats (I was really pleased that others had took the theme in a less literal way, I've protected so much critters and tend to so many fires so far)
Simple and effective, could use some tweaking for feedback and game feel (like halving both bullet damage and cooldown), anyway I really like the floppy disk concerto, cool entry!
Thank you! Yeah the game balance has also suffered from the time spent on bugs (or poor time management and scope, no one knows). Thank for pointing out that the link to the theme was not obvious, I added an explanation in the description.
@d5r @jefvel Yeah I entirely, agree but even though it's just a variable to change I want to keep the game as it were on the deadline, I intend to make a post-jam version with at least audio, some more levels and those tweaks. Thanks for the feedback!
@peco totally understandable, I should have added feedback for this, you have to hold the spray button until the graph is done (it takes one full second).
@local-minimum Yep those are addressed in the balanced version, and I'm glad you suggested a lives system, for now I've just made a checkpoint at each level but I intend to work a little more on the game (put audio in, some more levels and polish) and I thought about having this. Thanks for the feedbacks!
@le-don Oh, that's so nice thank you!
So for the vision cones, I'm sure there are better way to do it (lots of resources on that online) but here is what I did: - For the graphic display I generate points at the enemy position, translate them along it's velocity/direction vector and rotate them gradually using the enemy as pivot point. Then check collisions between the created segments and the level geometry, moving the end point accordingly, and finally draw a polygon clockwise including one more point at the enemy's feet. - Regarding player detection it's only a matter of checking if the distance to the enemy is lower than the cone radius, that the angle is in it's arc bounds and that the line enemy->player does not intersect with level geometry.
I had never done neither cone vision nor A* pathfinding before, those were quite the time-sinks but quite a joy to see it working in the end, glad it payed off ^^.
@simex @dabbu The bug have been patched out, thanks a lot for pointing out the issue! (Oh and while I would have loved to work with friends none of them was available, I actually made the game on my own ^^")
@duke Regarding difficulty those issues are fixed in the balanced version (post-jam). For the keyboard layout I've realized that too late but it has been made with the AZERTY layout in mind, in which W and Z are swapped ^^".
@damdoshi Haha, I'm working on a polished version and I've actually already planed to include nods to the Internationale in the title screen theme.
Oh no my King! What a gruesome way to go. Loved it, cool design and innovative concept, I do have a soft spot for 2d sprites in a 3d world, also very funny visuals. I think a target where the chef will land would have helped though. Had a lot of fun anyway!
I do agree on the messy feeling but as other have suggested it might only be a matter of control scheme and maybe dropping one of the three main mechanics (collecting pickups, aiming shield or clicking foes) to gain in focus. On the other hand it does a great job at creating tension, coupled with that very cool aesthetic. Really impressed by the entry given the time you had and that you work in C (Although, with my old linux computer, glad to see other devs still clinging to actually efficient tools). Great work!
Simple but effective, not sure that having learning material acquired on player's death is the most effective way of making people love particles though ^^. Lovely entry!
Confusing at first buy it adds to the mood, nothing really to criticize, the concept is solid, art and music are gorgeous, congrats!
Very polished and well done overall, I had difficulties handling both platforming and throwing/catching stuff but I guess this one is on me. Great work!
Probablement ce que j'ai pu tester de plus solide en terme d'ambiance et de cohérence, même si j'ai pas pu m'empècher d'imaginer le personnage galérer avec la géométrie et s'aider des murs pour tourner ^^". En tout cas l'expérience est adorable et ultra propre. (Ah aussil la prononciation de "péni" m'a tué)
Most gorgeous and nice sounding game I've played so far. (I've experienced some issues while playing like being stuck at respawn or on geometry but I played it on linux through Wine so maybe that's the cause) While the art is charming I thought the physics were clunky, the physics feels strange and the minimum distance you walk when you move had me falling into spikes while just trying to align me with the save point. Anyway great entry!
The music goes very well with the graphics, harsh for such a calm setting, it works well! A few more mechanics would have been nice for interest on the long run but it stands nicely on its own, great job!
Movements are really tricky but fun to see, painfully managing to just make a turn. Loved the random accordion sounds, very fitting.
I realize that I have quite a few things to say so I'm sorry if it sounds harsh that's not the idea at all ^^". On the technical side I found strange the fact that the music stops then refreshes every so often and the sticky collisions with the arena borders. Also I think the special weapon should slow down everything, the fact that enemies can still shoot at you while you're slowed makes it suicidal to use for not that much benefits. And finally in that kind of game you should aim for a steady rhythm, one easy fix could be halving enemy hp while doubling their spawn. The mechanics are cool anyway, congrats and well done!
It took me a while to find an effective strategy and realize trampling things was way more effective than shooting them. It's quite difficult right now and I think it's mainly due to the attack not being effective enough do be reliable. But overall that was very fun and I am quite fond of that (horrible) pun, great entry!
Even though graphics could be improved and the somewhat clunky physics make the game way harder than it supposedly ment to be I really enjoyed the atmosphere, great work!
Really liked the concept and overall vibe, but while technically clean it felt quite tedious to restart because of dangers that felt a little unfair like every drop of acid being deadly or the fact that you should tank sniper hits and not try to shoot it. But a nice game overall, have to like the die and retry aspect obviously ^^
Great atmosphere, art and polish are definitely there. The short leveling session was enjoyable, there's already a good base if you ever want to expand on it, nice work!
Damn, would have loved to play but I'm on Linux and Wine refuses to display any 3d with some Unity games, good job anyway!
@pcmaster well, you've actually made a game in three days in which is already awesome enough but I've just read the description and the other comments ^^"
@pcmaster Oh that was the issue, I've only commented, of course I wouldn't rate a game I could not play (And also to remind you of us few linux users)
Oh wow just solid, innovative concept and clean execution, only the sounds can be a little harsh but well it serves the aesthetic, well done!
I found some details very funny like the band on water equipped flies or the death animation. The game is indeed simple but well executed, cool entry!
Ended up having a boring stream for being too nice, even though I had been warned. I quite liked the tension of the real time choices and some of the comments/donations were funny enough to make me lose some precious decision time, well done. Cool concept and clean execution!
Just loved it, especially the transition where things get serious, also art and music fit the game very well. Charming!
Very cool mechanics and a lot of variety too, It would lend very well to a longer game, with more time to play around with the different rules. Well done! (The way you can keep on letting time pass while everything even the mug is on fire cracked me up)
Not sure how you came up with that concept but I'm grad you did. I especially liked how it rapidly transition to almost a rhythm game with mouse precision involved, but those cutscenes though, each time I was wondering if I shouldn't just let those disgusting things die ^^". Great game, congrats!
Loved getting familiar with that house and the clever holes in it. The potion was a nice touch for added tension, very cool overall! (Also the mouse sensitivity was really high, but I don't know if it came from my computer or the game)
The visuals drawn me to it and clearly I was not disappointed! Loved the overall atmosphere, the 1-bit look and the spacialized soundscapes. Maybe resources could fill juste a little bit faster, I keep dying of starvation while pumping water :(. Very good anyway,great job!
Solid game, found it very hard but had fun anyway. I've not encountered anything I had gripes with (I think the difficulty is on me) so just well done!
Simple but effective, I just found the enemy cell IA strange, or at least very difficult to predict. It sometimes makes the game feel more unfair than challenging. But great job overall!
Charming game, an efficient way of incorporating educational content while the balancing of the actual rocks adds a little physics based challenge to it. Very nice entry!
I first thought that the movement speed was too slow and that guard's vision not showing were an issue but I quickly realized that it served the NES-aesthetic/MGS homage very well so I ended up liking it, furthermore I found it boosted tension witch in a stealth game is a requirement. (Although, I've seen it mentioned the spark's lifespan is a little too generous.) I had a really good time completing it, great entry!
@le-don Totally agree on the visual style, and the in-between alert state indeed does a great job at balancing things out. I was thinking maybe just watched tiles highlight to keep fancy lines out of the way, but I fear it might result in a lot of clutter and a messy look in the end.
I really liked the mood but the controls feel a little too floaty, not enough drag makes it difficult to grab collectibles and it's quite hard to aim with slow projectiles. Again it is probably a matter of tastes but I think it could have been a bit faster paced
Everything is just perfect, here, have all the stars please. I'm a huge fan of the Rhythm Tengoku series and found myself quite at home here even though I could not tell if action was actually synced with the music (which is excellent by the way). The art style is very cute and coherent, and everything regarding telegraphing hazards is spot on. Probably my favorite one so far, congrats and thank you!
Very efficient loop, the game already stands on its own. Well done and good luck for future developments!
Very cool little game, would have loved to have that counter, to know how many of those evil spiders I managed to drag with me into the grave. Keep it up!
Really liked the visuals, that cape. I would love to play the entire thing you had planned if you ever get to it!
The overall controls feel very clunky making plateforming harder than it should and almost guarantee getting hit if attempting any combat. I quite like the NES-ish aesthetic though, good job!
Too bad for Linda and four more that I suck at understanding what a game want me to do, anyway that was a neat experience, well done!
Delightful game, gorgeous pixel art and animations. Confusing at first but it's part of the fun (and that goldfish is definitely still alive)
Always love a nice human sacrifice. The game suffers a bit for being too repetitive and slow-ish but quite cool anyway especially since you've been away from gamedev for a a long time, good work!
From "Oh wow easy" to "THIS IS HELL" real fast. It feels the "turn back dinos" mechanic is a little redundant, I was too focused en getting rid of asteroids to manage them. But I had a lot of fun, it's tense enough and those adorable creatures make me want to protect them, very cool entry, great work!
I really tried but was not able to finish it, It already has cool audio and visuals, just some tweaks away to be a winnable ^^". Great experience anyway!
Kind of lacks any goal but off to a good start
Simple, rich and elegant, not much to say, this feels like a complete game, great entry and congrats!
Simple and effective, some of the object spawns felt a bit unfair but overall very cool for a first solo dev project. Really liked the sound effects, nice entry!
@katsuhira Oh no! D:
Now that you point it out yeah it looks like their corpses, not intended though :|
(Beside the spirit n°5 that you can find very early/easely, I wanted for the others to be rare and memorable, I'll think about maybe tweak up the rates)
@vknauss I actually have an Ubuntu dual boot for this specific purpose but I have been lazy, I'll try and do that soon!
@lelulagames Oh yeah, I have to capture the mouse for the first person controls, if nothing goes wrong you can exit the game by holding Esc
@ruddgasm I wonder if it does work on other computers but I actually have added a nice fade to white as you hold Esc to quit, but maybe it was not clear enough that you have do hold it ^^'
@phafou Wow that's so nice, especially coming from someone who just made such a beautiful game, thanks!
@she-wrote Thanks! That's so sweet! ^^
@substain Sadly doing everything except for the audio that's all the content I've managed to put in. But I do feel the same
@slurpcanon @katsuhira @yeppe @logan @keithswanger I've uploaded a tweaked version if you are still curious about find out about the remaining little folks ^^
@jacobrutter *edited out, said harsh things I'm not proud of and I am sorry about*
@jacobrutter I'm sorry, It did touch a nerve for and I was already down for some personal reasons but that's no way to talk to strangers on the internet, again I'm sorry.
But yeah you can have a look at Wine (https://www.winehq.org/) which allow for windows software to run on Linux or MacOS it's far from 100% reliable but you should be able du play a good amount of lightweight jam games only available as windows executables.
Seeing the bird inflate cracked me up each time especially the final one was, the controls could use a bit of work for precision but fun overall.
I only get a black screen once i click play :'( (My computer is trash, it may be because of that)
Very pretty and fun game, I can see the speedrunning potential once you've mastered the art of flying by spam-clicking your way to the next checkpoint, very good entry!
A very polished and original entry, it feels very nice to play and those feedbacks hmmm nice!
A calm yet stressfull experience, would have loved an handling upgrade to tighten those square room turns, very good overall!
I'm sad now, well done! At several points I did not had enough paper of the right color to finish the task, don't know if it is on purpose.
I got very distracted by the music which to me resembles a strange mashup of Zelda's main theme and that one wedding song but the game was nice anyway, I would suggest a timer mechanic to incite the player to take risks, having a reason not to abuse the slow down button. Nice job!
@learus Oh not distracting at all, I just kept thinking of Link at the altar (not the time one) ^^
It feels the controls lack precision but I can't tell if it's by design or juste my trash pc unable to handle this lovely art, great job!
Such dedication to what is essentially a triple-pun is remarkable, congratulations. I thought the camera was way too close to the sub, I kept taking damage from things I cannot see coming (especially those damn olives). Anyway nice job!
I prefer the Decay Crew.
Really though that was harsh, cool entry, I need a shower now
This feels nicer than it has any right to, especially for a traditional roguelike, I felt that it became quite repetitive the deeper your descend but it's already a lot for a jam game (and I die all the same). Great entry!
A really cool experience, nice blend of gameplay, narration and mood, a charming entry well done!
Just perfect, had me laugth out loud. Very concise and polish experience, awesome entry!
Very nice game, gameplay, enemy variety and bonus/penalty management are working nicely. The only thing I missed were a little knockback on hit, for more feedback and easier crowd management. Great entry!
Simple but well done, I thought it lacked some feedback on hit, I noticed I had lost a heart without noticing it happen. Nice entry
I really like the way the huge squares turn out to be lovely pixel art once the game zooms out for travel, sadly the web player was quite slow on my computer but cool narrative drive, great entry.
I told myself halfway "Oh no, I dit not sign up for this", scary videogames do work awfully well on me ^^" Anyway the tension build-up was very effective, (I also really liked the calm and serene begginings learning facts about bamboo) The concept was very well handled, congrats!
An original take, some levels lacked visibility and some milk ambush seemed hard to see coming, but nice entry
"Oooh look at that little guy in space doing space things isn't that so nicWHAT" Awesome experience, the serene art style versus harsh audio plays well in the tone shift, very cool entry!
I don't know where I am, nor when I am. Things are cold out there. Send help.
Peak video game.
Wow this feels very nice to play, this twichy 2d plateform combat where you really feel in control on the character and can only blame yourself for any (repeated and brutal) death. Quite rare to see that gameplay polish in a game jam, excellent entry and great work!
This is really nice for a first jam, it plays well and feels quite complete as is, I kept cursing the randomness of the air bubbles but it gives the game an enjoyable forward momentum, good job!
This is very simple and elegant, calm too, great entry!
A very pleasing short trip, the mood is perfect well done!
(As a side note rant that has nothing to do with you or your game I am always baffled at how Unity over inflates things but 150mo for a game without textures, displaying only scaled and rotated cubes, wow)
It's a bit chaotic but good job making your first jam game!
I was quite intrigued by the concept, it's very original, but I felt like the layout of the level had more influence on the progression than my positioning of the spout. An idea to dig! (aha kill me please)
I don't know if the speed of the line was supposed to be THIS fast or if it's something from my setup but this is by far the best game I've played so far. The art side is perfect for the game, it is inventive, tight and that final gag had me laughing out loud. Congratulations and thanks!
