Cool puzzle game, maybe add a view where you can see the entire level? Some of the larger levels it became quite hard to orientate yourself when switching characters. Also the movement was a little wonky and I think it could be improved to be more precise. Overall decent puzzles, some that were actually quite a challenge. Cool concept. Well done!
Cool game, only complaints are that sometimes my children wouldn't collect when I told them to, it took multiple clicks. Also I'm not sure if I'm just stupid but I couldn't build other buildings. I tried clicking, dragging, nothing seemed to really work. Also I found it quite annoying that the children kept walking off. Maybe allow them to walk around my restrict them to a certain distance from their starting point. Its quite a cool game.
Really great game, the animations and sounds were top notch!
I really liked the design of the main menu, though I still seemed to be able to jump even when slipping on puddles. Think that may be a glitch
The UI is a little ugly (no offense) and some of the UI buttons seem to be broken. Also at one point I the game refused to finish. I kept clicking confirm but nothing was happening. Decent try for a first game!
I was getting low FPS for some reason, don't think it was because of my computer. This is just personal preference but I would like if the disassembling gun thing would follow you on the y axis also as it just feels a little weird for it not to. Also maybe I 'm just bad at aiming but a few times it really felt like my bullets were going straight through the enemy ships. Very cool concept!
Really cool game, I genuinely had fun playing this! Last levels are quite hard, but I liked the challenge
Decent game, quite hard to aim where your wanting to though and the music kind of stopped as I was playing randomly
Good game but I have a few suggestions. If the player dies, give him an option to skip the setup part. Also, not really sure how I'm supposed to dodge the fireballs, they move too fast. Also I would suggest automatic reloading at 0 bullets, its quite annoying to have to continually press R. Otherwise, the game has a good atmosphere and has quite an interesting concept.
You should've made us able to click the button when the announcer came on the second time, that would have been a really nice twist! Not much game play but I can understand as you didn't have much time to make this.
Nice game! Probably one of the funniest I've found so far! Those suicide Russians are really hard to stop! Well done
A demon knocked me inside of a wall causing me to get stuck lol. The audio is pretty good and I must give you a well done for that. Also its quite hard to aim the weapon sometimes
The jumping seems a little unresponsive, it would often take a while for my character to actually jump. The music is very good and I like the background sprites although I was a little confused as to what was part of the background and what I was supposed to jump over
I liked the graphics, I was getting a bit tired of the pixel art graphics that most people in the jam choose so the change in style was very welcome. The music and audio was very well done too! It has a nice sense of progression and was pretty fun to play! My only suggestion is that you should stop the music (or at least make it more quiet) when you lose as the combination of the music and the lose level audio is messy. I think just the lose level audio would sound better
Movement is a little floaty and unresponsive. My character would often move for a few seconds more after I let go of the button. The audio is crisp clear so well done for that. The game is quite fun. Good job!
The warden/bad guy was a little hard to understand. I think either make his voice a little clearer or add subtitles. A solid entry with a good amount of polish
Game is very easy, all I did was click on a module an I won every fight and there is only one enemy type making it quite repetitive. With more time this could become quite good. It had a good atmosphere
Very cool game, essentially its just math but I actually really enjoyed it. I'd have to say one of my favorite of the jam. I know you properly couldn't have done this due to time constraints but I would've been nice to see different people types depending on their gender and occupation instead of all the same black figures. Small glitch but also people continued to appear to enter the bunker even after I had supposedly run out of people to choose from. Nice!
Well done for finishing your first game! The game definitely needs some audio and little more feedback when hitting demons so that your attacks feel a little more powerful
Very cool idea to use google forms to make a game. Nice job!
I couldn't really buy much after day 3. I kinda just spammed out workers making me just sit for the last few days. The font for money and workers all kind of blurry and hard to see. Solid entry
Good game but I have to admit, the knife was very annoying to use as it took a long time to actually strike. Well done on your first jam game. Its my first jam too!
Good game, just a lot of spelling mistakes.
A tutorial sequence needed in my opinion. Also the first level the enemy killed me before I time to finish reading the instructions. Otherwise a solid entry!
Cool game, only problem is that I when I clicked on two humans walking over each other they were both thrown in. Maybe add like a highlight to which human is going to be thrown in. Still, a cute quirky game! Maybe throw in a description saying its a memory game with a description on how to play it
Good sounds, nicely drawn graphics and overall polished. I got quite confused at parts but I suppose that's what a puzzle game is supposed to do!
I like the music, that aspect is very well done! It just does fit the theme at all. The game is nice quick and fun and has nice increasing difficulty for those who want to continue to play. It was quite hard to judge where the snow balls were going to land due to the 2D view though, maybe have some kind of dashed line for where your snowball may land
The audio was great and the explosion effects were very nice to look at. This is a very good game. Top notch!
Cool game, very easy to trick the AI and make them form a line but obviously its not easy to make very advanced AI in such a short amount of time. I liked the way the guns spun! The shotgun design was nice, liked the lights on the side of them
This is game is so stupid, but in a good way! My only suggestion is that you should make the volcano shoot out more fireballs if you don't sacrifice enough villages at right now it is easier to just keep knocking the fireballs away rather than sacrificing the villagers. Funny game though!
Quite short and not many choices making it hard to judge how good game is.
Although I'm not much of a fun of puzzle games I did enjoy this one
I think other people like @marrack and @sabeurre have already stated the main problems with the game so I can't really add much but what they are saying is definitely true
Would've liked to hear a little sound feedback when picking up and throwing the food. Pretty simple game but quite cool. Its my first Ludum Dare too!
@gamers-blood-entertainment Nothing too good, 18
It got a bit repetitive after a bit and one of the enemies walked straight through a wall for me. But I was scared and seeing the enemies the first few times actually gave me the chills. Although I have to say that drinking the blood took too long, I would suggest making it shorter or have enemies occasionally attack you if you want to make it suspenseful when standing in one space. Also I would suggest adding something that moves in the main menu. Like some sort of particle system or annimation on the buttons eg Getting bigger when the mouse hovers over them as the main menu is very static and boring with no sounds.
Overall decent entry
Quite a cool game, would've loved to see a few more effects such as fire when the balloon is on fire and cuts when someone is wounded. After I threw my whole family off there wasn't much to do but sit there. Maybe add a few more events like you may need to call using the phone for help in order to get saved if the opportunity arises. Anyways good simple game. Found it quite funny to throw my whole family off the side haha
Cool game, just quite hard. Maybe add a button that lets you see the entire level or at least a larger view. Sometimes I would be confused on what to do at the end of a level only to make a small mistake and have to start all over again. Also maybe add a quick transition of the camera from one character to another, quick enough to not disturb game play but I felt it was kind of needed as the camera suddenly snapping to another character was quite disorienting. Overall cool game!
Couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do. A tutorial is much needed
Cool concept but the controls are very unresponsive. Also the enemies didn't kill me, just stuck me to the ground so that I couldn't move. The tentacle was doing all kinds of freaky stuff, squishing and expanding and colliding me from miles away. Very buggy too. Sorry for the harsh comments but I wanted to give good feedback
A little hard to tell if you were going to hit an object or not. Maybe add a little more difference between the two layers. I would've preferred a health bar rather than instant death. I really like the effects of the thrusters on the sides of the ship, they look very cool. It was quite hard to find how to get into the ship too, it took me quite a few tries as I though I was going to collide with the zombie dude thing at the beginning. Overall a good game. Well done!
Game is decent, just not sure why you have to continually hold down the mouse button. Just cut automatically in my opinion. Also it does fit the theme very well. Would work on mobile well. Also maybe add a button on the keyboard to explode rather than having to click the button in the corner
Audio is very much needed and the game gets repetitive. The graphics are extremely simple, try at least adding a little better graphics if you participate in the next jam. I see other players disagree with me but I personally would've preferred more responsive and less floaty controls. Well done for submitting and for implementing an infinite level generator!
Good game, well done on it! Some suggestions: Maybe have the hand get slightly bloodier as you get lower health as it would help to add to the immersion of the game. Sacrificing blood and then seeing your hand the exact same kind of kills immersion. In some of the rooms I also kept seeing these weird black cubes popping through the walls, not sure if its an error with the particle system or not. Luckily it was only a small bug. Also maybe add a mouse sensitivity slider. I found the sensitivity was too high and would've liked to adjust it. I do think that the camera only moving side to side and not up and down is a bit weird, I think allowing you to move the camera along both axises (or however you spell it) would help the game. Finally the movement did feel quite "floaty" in areas. Try and improve it and make it more responsive. Solid entry though. The first time I saw my hand getting placed into the grinder thingy took me quite by surprise. I was quite a fan of the gore and sounds. Also maybe make it more obvious if a door will take so much blood it will kill you, one time I though I had enough blood to make it but unfortunately died. Maybe some kind of number value next to your blood or make the door glow red if it is going to kill you.
I got quite a surprise when I killed my teamate for the first time, didn't read the description so it wasn't what I expected. Hahaha, quite long too. Well done. Very impressive length for a compo game! The level design is also very well done
Cool game but at least add a few checkpoints in the dark level, its quite long and having to start all over again is quite tedious
Pretty cool game, quite unique. My only criticism is that I would like a little bit more feeling of power when killing enemies such as particle effects, sounds, or bodies
I don't know if something was wrong with my game but it lacked much needed sound. Its a solid point a click puzzle game though but it doesn't really fit the theme.
@glowt Hi, thank you so much for playing my game. I really appreciate it. That bug you had should be fixed!
@barrier Thanks for the feedback! The enemies don't kill you in one hit but I do agree, I do think the enemies are too strong but due to time constraints I didn't have much time to balance the game.
@2016mcook, Thanks your feedback! Your supposed to push the money over the edge of the platform once the white boxes disappear, I wanted to add better subtitles to the devils voice but didn't have time, I be sure to do so in future updates to this game though which also help to make everything more balanced
@dmanzano101 Thank you so much for the suggestions and nice comments :). I think I'll implement a few of your ideas into future post jam updates!
@icegold Thank you very much for the suggestions and bug reports! They really do help to improve the game. Frankly, I agree with most of what you said. I'll definitely set aside more time for bug fixing in the next jam
@d3vil0p3r Yeah, there are quite a few bugs but I'll definitely continue to iron them out as I work on this game.
@mitch-cutler The game definitely had some balancing issues, sadly I didn't have time to get any of my friends to playtest the game before I released it.
@steel-dev I had the exact same feeling about the installer but I it was the only way I could remember how to do it and I was fighting against the submission deadline. By the next jam my games should all be downloaded like you suggested.
@radow The enemies are definitely too powerful, I'm going to add a timer that makes the player invisible for a second when they are damaged. The way damage works is through a Boolean. Its set to positive when an enemy enters the trigger around the player and then negative when they leave the trigger. If the Boolean is positive the enemies apply a certain amount of damage each second. You are also 100% correct on the ground check except I used a trigger rather than a ray cast a I wanted the player to be able to jump even if only one corner of the player object collided with the ground. A ray cast only works if the middle of the player collides.
Thank you all so much for the feedback! It helps to make the game 10000 times better
@radow Oh, I wasn't aware of the boxcast system, thank you! I'll make sure to check it out
@hakita, thank you! Appreciate the kind words
@glassar This comment really made me smile. Thank you for the compliments. Also those "birds" are demons hahahaha
@arvejeitor thanks, glad I joined! Surprisingly the bullet cases were actually one of the first things I added
@etdofresh Hahaha, I pulled an all nighter just to finish this game. I went to bed when the sun was coming up
@arktas Thank you for the feedback :D
@beardmage Thank you for the feedback! Yeah, I definitely agree with you on what your suggesting. Thanks for playing my game!
@vlad-ilisan Thank you for the kind words :)
@hadesfury Thank you!
@norfma I definitely agree with this, my original plan for putting the one weapon as Q was so there was easy access but through seeing others play testing I came to the same conclusion that it just confuses people
@alexey-cherkasov Thank you for the feedback. I don't mind the small remarks either as improving those too can add up and help to make the game much better!
@ruba Yeah, I can definitely agree with the graphics. I'm trying to improve my skills with graphics but I'm a programmer at heart. My next jam game should have better graphics though! Thank you for playing!
@sickybricky Thank you for playing :)
@morris-beardbarian Thanks for playing my game! I agree and I am currently working on a post jam version that should fix that problem
@gerardb I still appreciate your comment! I'm so grateful to how much feedback I've received. It surpassed my expectations highly
@firebug Thanks for the feedback, I'll make sure to check that bug out.
@firebug Thank you for the info! I just managed to fix it. Your information really helped me narrow it down. If your interested about the reason causing it here it is. I didn't realize that when loading into new levels the timeScale carries over. When you die, time stops. The intro of my game loads the next level after a certain time has passed but since time was paused this time was never reached! Thank you!
@alext-design Thank you for trying out my game!
@hdugmag Thank you for the suggestions! I'll definitely have a zip file for the next Ludum Dare, thank you for the kind words!
Very short game. Though it made me think for a bit
Really cool game, nice physics and good use of theme. Well done!
Very nice tutorial! Small glitch with the blood particle effects, they seemed to continually form into the think red line, not sure why. Overall very cool concept, I've seen other games try to pull it off but most of theirs were buggy messes. Well done!
Another cool game in your signature are style. Well done!
Really liked the mechanics. Personally I would've preferred more snappy controls as the gears slipping and sliding for a second after I left go the movement made them very hard to control. Also I didn't like the controls. Pressing Z and X to jump was very fiddly and foreign. Maybe add custom control schemes? Criticisms aside I still really liked the game and played it for quite a while.
Very funny concept. I liked the graphics and sounds, both were quite decent. Only complaint is the fact the big square blood packs sometimes hid cars underneath them
I really like the music, well done!
Not being able to control your character while he is in the air is a bit annoying. I would've liked at least some small amount of control as the teleportation was a bit glitchy. Also the graphics are extremely basic. I liked the wall slide mechanic though. Well done for submitting.
To be honest I am not a big fan on clicker games but nice job on the art
Cool game, brings me back to when I used to play Pokemon so extra points for that :)
I loved how cute the grim reaper looked haha. Nice job!
Cool game, I liked the blood effects and the charging mechanic. I like the variation in the amount of enemies though sometimes the enemies face would be hidden behind their body. Small bug though so still good
Cool game! The graphics are decent and I like the music in the main menu!
Nice game just a bit too difficult. I liked the effects on the bullets and the debris after spaceships are destroyed
I liked the audio. I couldn't would've liked more hit feedback so that I could tell when I was being attacked or dealing damage easier. Also it was impossible to tell how close your enemies were to death, maybe you want to tell the player that somehow. Overall solid entry
Cool game, though I hardly used the time slow mechanic as it made the combat slow and I preffered the fast paced action. My suggestion is to it use more blood per second, still slow the enemies but keep your own player going at a high speed
I couldn't really understand what to do and the audio was a bit scratchy/unpleasant. I liked the reflections on the water though
Cool game. Some improvements in my opinion would be to give the spider enemy things some sort of movement animation instead of them sliding along the ground. Also when the frame rate of the game goes down due to lots of enemies being on screen the fire rate of the hand also goes down. Is the fire rate dependent on frame rate rather then delta time scale? Don't think this is intentional so you may want to change that. Still solid entry. Well done!
Cool game! I liked the different effects that selling different parts or your body gave. I found one glitch though, if you get hit by a bat it game over you've run out of fuel. Maybe you want to change it to say something else like game over, hit by bat
I really like the graphics in this game. It was very hard though and even though I was dodging the orks were still damaging me. Was I not doing it correctly? Well done for finishing!
I liked the graphics and the music but sadly couldn't really understand due it being in Russian
@michaelsonbritt Thanks for the comment. Could you elaborate on balance please? Was it too easy or too hard?
@michaelsonbritt Okay thank you :)
@killedbyapixel That's a cool idea, make the time slow mechanic better and put more skill into killing enemies
@khamekaze Thanks for the feedback! Glad it was intense haha
@raffe Thank you
@random-thoughts Thank you! :)
@enigma Hey, are you trying to shoot while your character is running? Because you cannot shoot and run at the same time
@copper-aardvark-games Thank you, I appreciate the kind words
@odlog-oglog Thanks for playing, glad you liked it
I really liked how the UI glowed. The audio and music were good too! It as a bit easy in the beginning though as I could just spawn camp the enemies haha. Overall really good though.
Audio was hilarious. Especially liked the lose sound and car sound haha
Nice game, I liked the amount of variation in the possible events!
I liked the graphics and music but would've liked a bit speedier transition in the fade to blacks at the end of each scene. Well done for finishing!
Favorite game of the jam so far. Its an interesting idea to live in a world where if you run out of fuel you literally have to sit still forever. Cool game :D
Would've liked some audio but still a good game. I especially liked the boss fight
I agree with @ohfiddlediddle on the scoring system. Definitely will increase replay-ability so you should definitely consider it!
I really liked the atmosphere of this game. The logs on the terminals felt eerie, and cool. They nicely added to the world. I found one glitch where if you entered the bunker and quickly clicked again to go out the screen would go black. I couldn't really figure out what to do at the end. I thought I found all the towers and did them? Maybe I missed one. The atmosphere is absolutely brilliant and you should definitely lean on that if you decide to continue.
Interesting puzzle game. As others have said an "auto turn button" would've been nice to have so that you didn't have to span next turn. I liked the goblin animations and the drawings were nice and detailed too. Nice job!
First of all, maybe add some kind of recoil or camera shake when you fire the weapon to give it a bit more feeling of power as right now it feels quite weak. The graphics were really good, especially the effects on the Q ability. The enemies were creepy and nicely textured. Nice job!
Having to wait for Hal to finish speaking was a bit boring so perhaps his text could be speed up with a button? I also didn't really understand the puzzle of shutting Hal down. I haven't watched the movie so maybe I didn't get it? The mood and graphics were very nice though.
Nice job!
The graphics are nice and set a nice mood. The bullet particle effects also look good. The game has a WW2 D-Day landing kinda feel. Nice job! Maybe just add checkpoints so you don't have to start from the beginning when you die.
You definitely nailed how annoying it is to try and grow house plants. So damn needy hahahaWon.JPG
The movement was a bit clunky especially when I pressed jump while stuck to the side of a block. It has a nice concept but the movement of the character definitely needs to be smoothed out and fixed
The graphics were very very nice. The sounds were good and the gameplay loop was solid. I think I found a glitch though, both my gauges were in the green at the end and it said I failed? Also the controls were a bit weird, I didn't really like having to use control. Overall very nice though.
@poupi Yeah, the layout of the controls just felt unintuitive to me
Funny game with a unique gameplay concept. Good job! Those damn pigeons are so annoying!
Good writing really helps to get the mood of the game. I don't know if this was intentional but your game reminded me a lot of another game called The Banner Saga. Sound effects besides the music would've also been nice. You did a really good job to finish it all in just 72 hours
@raxe612 Thanks for the feedback, very helpful :)
@poupi Thanks for playing!
@wolfrug Thanks for the feedback. I didn't want to make the game too long as I know most users will leave in the first three minutes but I'm glad you enjoyed :) Now I wish I'd made it longer hahaha
@dianacalistru Thanks for the kind words
@zoarfy Thanks so much for the feedback
The sound radar was nice and unique and the console-y thing to the left gave the game a nice old game-y feel. The game play was a bit simple for me but I can understand that from a jam game, I just would've liked more mechanics. Well done overall!
I liked the mood of the game, the sci fi aspect really felt good. It was confusing that there was ladders and yet you couldn't climb them. Also the drones feel like much of a threat, they were really easy to avoid. Please change the drone death sound, its really irritating on the ears. Well done! I got a time of 1:32, don't know hod good that is haha
Really nice sound and visuals. I don't know if I missed something but I spent about five minutes running around picking up logs. I was kinda just waiting for something to happen. I then just ran until I reached the end of the map just to see if anything else would happen. The atmosphere was really nice just wish there was a little bit more gameplay then picking up logs. I'm not trying to be mean. Just giving my honest opinion
Just a tip for when you set the screen to black when the artifact is collected. You can see the edges of the screen. Click on the panel and set the image from background to none and boom, the edges of the screen should be black as well!
It would've been nice to have more sound effects and the loop of the music was repetitive as it was very short. The power ups looked very nice and cool. The shadow enemies really did sneak up on you haha. Good job overall.
The AI of the enemies kept getting stuck and I somehow got negative gem thingies so a few bugs that need ironing out. A few more sound effects would've been nice such as shooting or enemies dying. I liked the music, it sounded really nice. The game play was solid and it worked in the theme nicely. A job on the game!
Would've been nice to get some kind visual feedback to make it more obvious when you are carrying a person. The tutorial is really nice, glad its not just text. The game is fun. Well done for making this!
First thing I noticed was the quit button was not in English, maybe your native language? Perhaps you want to change that. The camera feels very jittery and clunky and should definitely be smoothed out in further updates. The graphics and animations were very nice. Especially the portal effects so well done there!
I loved the creepy intro audio and how bits of the children appear on ground after it has eaten them. Very clever pun on the theme also.
I started on the webGL but didn't notice any sound and so moved to the standalone build. Nice graphics especially on the fire particles. I don't know if having the webGL build there is a good idea as yes, it may attract more players to play your game but it doesn't seem to be working properly and so players might get the wrong idea about the quality if they didn't see the notice. Also perhaps some snow or icy textures around the screen might help to better sell the feeling of being cold.
I liked the nice originality of the idea. I personally would've liked if the shrinking and expanding happened a bit faster. The sun was pretty funny and the graphics were cute. The music also stopped when I was playing. Maybe make it loop when the song ends so that everything does suddenly go quiet? Also maybe make it a bit easier by slowing the spin of the planet and letting it expand and shrink orbit faster as it was a little hard.
The sun was definitely heckin' cool tho
I get that you maybe made the controls a bit weird to emulate the feeling of a destroyed gyroscope but it felt more annoying and I got dizzy from my ship spinning insanely and there felt like there was no way to undo it. It would've also been nice to have sound effects in the game instead of just music. The graphics were very nice. Good job on your first ld though. Keep at it, I remember when I was in your exact position, keep making games!
