Absolutely incredible, best game I've played so far. Lovely sound design, leaderboard and achievements (??!??) and really polished visuals. Not to mention the game itself is original, fun, and gives you that "just one more" vibe. The only level I had real trouble with was the menu and the phone, felt like the timer could have been a bit longer for both. Overall, super enjoyable game, I could totally see this being a full release.
Poor cat. Made me laugh out loud the first time I hooked a fish.
Congrats, awesome sound and music!
Super fun, buy low sell high. I really like the risk reward that's baked into the game. Like @smilewood said, the sound effects really sell the whole game!
This game is cursed, I love it.
I would have loved an option to hold down the fire button and rapid fire :)
Very tricky strategy game. I gave it several shots but always fell short at the wall of wood. You have to plan your turns way ahead of what I was thinking. Need to make sure your wagons are doing something each turn too!
What a mood. This was a super polished game, the audio feedback while typing was super satisfying and the music was so good. Hope to see more!
Super cool idea. The ai definitely spooked me. I really liked the depth of field that you used.
Fun little game. I actually liked the controls once I figured them out. I could see some new patterns or areas being added to increase the difficulty. Once you understand the mechanics, it plateaus in challenge.
@unclemitch911 We're working on putting up a Bandcamp album! I'll make a blogpost when it's ready!
@fupi glad you enjoyed the music!
If anyone else is having issues with mouse sensitivity, there is a wrench in the main area ;)
@jerem-watts Glad you asked, so I have a chance to plug Pianobook.co.uk! It's full of free, community made Kontakt instruments (and some are even made for an open source sampler called decent sampler).
The one I used is called Micah's Choir:
https://www.pianobook.co.uk/packs/micahs-choir/
The only caveat being you need the full version of Kontakt to use it. It's worth getting if you haven't yet, but wait for a sale, it goes on sale for 50% quite often.
Super cool vibe. I especially liked the art style and the music! It was super cozy and it compliments the "stressful" parts perfectly and keeps them in check.
Fun doomlike! Would have liked the enemies to have chased you a bit more aggressively, or be wandering around a bit. I actually really like the speed they come at you.
Very lovely color palette. I was thinking the water would rise up, but was pleasantly surprised I got to keep trying to climb even after I fell in.
Really solid little game! I got stuck on "Just Send It". I really enjoyed the color pallet, gave me plague knight from Shovel Knight vibes.
I liked the art! I think a couple things made it unintentionally frustrating to play. A lot of the obstacles are close together and so it feels like an inevitability that you're going to run into something. I would try either spacing out the obstacles, or keep the character from auto advancing and simply use a single button to jump. The other thing that makes it difficult to judge how far you're jumping or how close you are to an obstacle is the animation of the character. He abruptly jumps forward during one of his frames, and that can cause you to run into an obstacle against your will. Overall, a good first game jam!
When I click download, all I'm getting is a .class file. Am I missing something? Would love to give it a try!
Once I understood the movement system, it was actually fun to try and chuck those horses in their stables. 5* for the theme.
The music was awesome, musician to musician.
Pretty harrowing run. I managed to get only Winter to the end, with one health and one sanity.
The controls were a bit hard with using shift to run. Maybe you could swap it, with the character running by default and have shift make the character walk instead. I liked the music and the 1bit art style!
It was fun writing music for this! I really enjoyed the dialogue and having that choice at the end. Felt very much like choosing between Sirrus and Achenar at the end of MYST in a way.
Hey there! Link to the download is broken. Let me know when it's back up!
Ah man dude that was hilarious. Glad you got it fixed up. Really loved the boiling line style animation.
My fingers are broken and it was worth it! If I had one critique, it would be that the malfunction sound scared the crap out of me the first time it happened.
Picking the cats up is super cute!
Loved the overall mood of the game. I agree with the other points, I feel like I'm fighting the controls a bit. I did enjoy the mouse movement, but even just having the sub rotate to face the mouse when you right-click would make it feel a lot smoother, I think. Would also love an option to just hold right click instead of having to press it every time I want to fire.
Very complete feeling game! I think all the mechanics really work well together, and I love seeing a rhythm game take on the popular vampire survivor type games.
I loved the music, It was great how every level layered more in, and it was dependent on the enemy type. My favorite track was definitely the jungle.
Cute little game! I would have loved if the coins either stayed around between waves, or your character had higher move speed.
Loved it! I really enjoyed how the difficulty started to ramp up as the game went on. I do agree that the 10 seconds makes for a difficult time putting something together, but hilarity does ensue because of it.
@ritz1231 Thank you so much! I usually put together an album for each Ludum Dare I do. I am still working on the cover art for Bandcamp :)
It will be uploaded at https://alto13.bandcamp.com/ if you want to follow in the meantime. I'll also be posting a blog on here announcing it.
Following up with @ritz1231 and anyone else who is interested! The soundtrack is now available to download on [my bandcamp.](https://alto13.bandcamp.com/album/choo-choo-crossing-original-soundtrack) Enjoy!
Overall, a really fun game! I enjoyed the artwork and the audio.
Cute little game. Loved the music!
Lovely little game. I loved collecting the resources and getting upgrades. It ran surprisingly well on my old 2015 MacBook! I was really impressed with the draw distance. The blurring in the distance was a nice touch, as well as the cutaway to solve the issue of having the character go behind an object.
My one critique would be that it was hard to tell what the colored bubbles did until stepping through them or getting close enough to see the arrows floating in them. The purple ones were a bit disorienting at first, but once I knew the map better, I didn't mind them and was even able to use them to my advantage!
Really disappointed that the Bee movie was not in it.
In all seriousness, awesome game. I loved how it was such an interesting take on timing and having to anticipate the qte's for the movies you're unfamiliar with. Really fun, kind of anticipating the direction of each scene.
I screamed, I cried, I clapped. Thank you for allowing me to become Gnome Caller. Their tiny laughs and haunting melody will live with me till the day I die.
Absolutely blown away. I really want to highlight the music here. It's no small feat getting it to so seamlessly transition between all the little lovely pieces, not to mention how much work that is ON TOP of programming the project. Great stuff as always!
Really tight entry. Everything plays off each other really well.
Lovely music of course, doubly so considering it was party composed on LSDJ on the GBA. (Everyone should check out the soundtrack posted in the description if you missed it.)
