I like it, I like the mechanic.
Diddn't know what to do at first but was simple to figure out.
Diffuculty ramp up is spot on for first play but its a little slow for subsequent plays.
Audio is pretty basic and its a shame theres no music a chip tune track would have went really well with the game.
Overall a solid game
To put yourself in danger only to swap with an enemy,
get an enemy to charge a hit on you only to swap with his ally,
to have a mage cast a fieball at you only to swap yourself with him so he hits himself (in the face) with his own firball. Brilliant idea.
Level design was a little simplisic. Diddn't realise doors were doorways at first.
Graphics were pretty simple.
Not a lot of audio (no music).
Dorway positioning was a little strange led to a tackic of just standing opposite side of the wall and letting them get hit by the flame.
Would enjoy a dungeon crawler wiht this mechanic :)
My head hurts and my ears are bleeding lol
Love the pixel work.
Music sets the tones wuite nicly.
Pace is good and puzzles not too difficult.
Somtimes it wasn't clear where I was supposed to go but just randomly wondering seemed to work well :)
All in all a good game.
Fun, tower defense esc sorta game.
Struggled to remember what each spell did (names kinda incohesive).
Upgrading spells feels awkward in a very time sensitive game, maybe a break between waves to upgrade spells would be better.
No music.
Found it awkward to keep track of spell recharging, perhaps have the gui relative to the cursor or have some text appear at the cursor when a spell has finsihed recharging.
Tried and trusted formula, garranteed to be fun.
Idea is good, was fun and a bit chaotic.
Was difficult to ensure you were only hitting the dude you wanted too as control wasn't sensitive enough (8 directional).
I'd also perfer that disbarred weapons were in the same eyeline as the player character i.e. above his head as icons or somthing so I diddn't have to take my eye from my avatar.
Music is a plus.
Kudos for using SDL, pretty ambitious for 48 hour game.
Gameplay holds a lot of promise but only two levels :(
Getting the portal vibe.
I liked the game, can just pick up and play.
+ I really liked the cartoony art style.
- No music :( a little summery tune would have been awesome.
+ Controls are spot on in my opinion, felt very comfortable straight away.
- Feel dead bears need to be more destinct, lost a few times to the little bears that were a struggle to see when the bear carcasses had piled up.
+ Feel of the game is great, from little bits of polish like the screen shake and the growing ammo bee hive thingy.
- Wasn't sure what the honey did at first.
+ Full game loop.
- Think a suttle way to indicate the bears health would help. Not really thinking a health bar but somthing "suttle" lol.
Most of the negatives are small and most likely down to just running out of time. One of the stronger compo games I've played.
p.s. feel like it was missing somthing sweet and explosive . . . perhaps honey grenades ;)
I quite enjoyed that, its short not many levels but love the idea of moving the level instead of the ball, awesome.
Great balance of frustrating and accomplishment.
Music fairly plain but at least theres music.
Some sound effects and graphics like particles for wall hits would add a bit.
Doesn't really have anything to do with the theme.
Theres an issue between level retries where I can't physically reset my mouse position, causing me to have to fail multiple tries inorder to get my mouse back into a position where I feel good to give the level a proper try again. Maybe a button a click to activate control at the start of a level would fix this.
Love the concept and would play this outside of the compo.
Art is very clean.
Music is good, although it kinda drowns out the sfx, making it a little difficult to tell when I've made a roll and roll the same number twice.
think the difficulty should maybe ramp up a little quicker.
Neat concept.
Score 1036 and I'm toast.
Really quite enjoyed that.
Graphics are simple but very effective.
Audio is good, music is great.
Gameplay is a tried and trusted mechanic with a good addition of the different abilities.
Is that music iron maiden?
Nice idea, it's pretty hard though, I never lasted too long.
Its a shame there is no sound for hittting the ants. A squash sound would have it a lot more satisfying.
I like the turning circle but would have liked it if it reduce at lower speeds.
A lot less ants and maybe having them move would be nice, as I felt I diddn't really have to aim there were so many of them.
All in all a solid first jam game, well done.
Mood is amazing and it carries a message that I didd't really get until the end.
Music was good.
Love the idea of using conways game of life, although I did just tend to trial and error it.
Graphics were very simple
Good number of levels and a level editor which is excellent considering the time constraints.
Love the pixel art, shame there wern't more levels
Fun little flappy bird esc game.
One issue I had was the bodies, might want to limit the amount of bodies. If your really bad at it like I am there are a lot of bodies lying around, which lowers the framerate quite a bit.
Putting this on mmy phone :)
9 golds in, I was like how the hell am I suppose to get that, when I realised I could double jump lol.
Darn humas, why can't you just leave a "ghost" monster alone to collect his energy orbs in peace.
Quite fun
Em not sure what just happened lol.
I nearly crapped myself when the woots played.
Pfft to the ppl I found a real friend :P
We're going to go round smash all teh houses together.
I like the take on the theme
Hmmm I do like cake, how did the game know what I was thinking :s and who the heck is bob
- Controls a little awkward. Having the shoot and jump on the same hand felt uncomfortable.
- I found the power up was worse and started to avoid them.
+ Love the art
+ Music and sfx were good
Quite fun, a little harder for me though
Love the pixel art, the little guys are so cute almost a shame to kill them . . . almost
It would be better if you had more than one attack though
Good, love th music, and pixel art
I think it would be better if the dudes had the same pattern depending on their sprite. I found quite frustrating that some would jump or turn round randomly when the last guy with the same sprite diddnt. Just felt like I had no way to predict what they would do and therefore had no way avoid them.
Awesome, love playing as a bad ass dragon :D.
Looks good,
Controls work really well
Decent audio
very strong entry
I really quite enjoyed this, I wondered around a cave for a bit attempted to enter the city and died :)
Simple and fun.
I found mouse really sensitive but I'm not much of a fps player.
Reminds me of the vr game Radial G
Graphics look pretty, almost impossible to tell if by turning there will be obstacle though.
What a cool concept sort of a game in a gmae
Interesting take on the two buttons.
Feel like a couple of sound affects would have added a lot
I really like the art style, those are some cute dragons :)
Cat santa is much better than normal santa
Love that art
One hit and its over feels a little harsh.
Quite like the music
Interesting. took me 613 seconds :s that bit where you have to jump over the red block took me all my time.
This just feels good to play, those controls are tight.
I couldn't really play it as intended as I'm sad panda with no friends.
Love the pixel art, controls and idea.
Would love to see a single play game where I have to beat ai enermies with the different masks.
Wow, there is so much amazing pixel art :D
I found it a little clunky to switch forms using the numbers keys, a bit far from the x and c.
Fun puzzle game.
Pretty fun, kinda wish I could skip to the like level 3, first couple are easy but useful as a tutorial but having to play them each time is a little tedious.
Simple but very pleasing art.
I decided to not return home but to live the rest of my days as a tree.
I haunted the cat :D
Controls are a little clunky, gamepad would probably work quite well.
Atmosphere is good though.
Love the art style, audio would have been helped. Not really sure if there was an ending or not.
I think the guard squatted on me when I was a chair :P
Nice little game (score 1671)
tense got out by luck rather than anything else. Not sure how the lipstick helped tbh.
Really short, not really much there but what is there is pretty :)
Nice arcade style game, simple and easy to play with good music goodwork.
Nice art, I had some frame rate issues that made somewhat difficult.
The concept of this game is amazing. Twitch lag gives every command more meaning, "do I attack now and risk leaving my castle undefended"
Controls are a bit awkward. I like the camera not shifting with the surface.
Love the art in this game, quite entertaining. One gripe for me was the pacing is a bit slow takes a long time to charge.
Protip: use the temp power ups early
May be the json lib I've used to load the world data. its newtonsoft not sure if it would work in mono.
I think I lucked my way to the winning line. Fun stratedgy game [TM]
Theres something about this style of graphics that makes me feel warm inside.
Love the idea. Nice simple but pleasing art style. Maybe a visual indicator of where the platforms go, so you don't have to stand on them all before you can begin to work out how to solve the puzzle. The camera is focused a little low for me I feel like a lot of jumps I do when are leaps of faith.
Good game, I feel kinda bad that the poor little guy has to die for me to complete the level :(
Wow the mood is pretty great considering the super limited pallette. Theres also quite a lot of game here for 48 hours, well done. The jumping felt a little floaty to me but its a minor thing.
I'm left wondering where did that last portal go :s
Holy crap thats good. Absolutely love the art and those animations. Music sets the mood perfectly, changing as you progress and for a game that takes five minutes to play the story really hits you in the feels.
Excellent work.
Em I think I destroyed the world opps. Nive game for such a short time.
I really enjoyed this game, the music really sets the mood, the art is pleasing to the eye. All help set the mood, which is great. The theme is front and centre os the game. To top it all off it rewarded my kindness :) (I wasn't kind the first time)
If I have one issue it's that it wasn't obvious what impact some of my decisions had. Although that might be part of the design.
I found I could just run in a circle to avoid the alien. That said I properly jumped the first time I turned around and saw the monster dude.
Nice game, wasn't expecting a puzzle game but I like it. Although I diddn't manage to figure out how to get all the ships across.
I found the game pretty difficult, but I think that what makes the game fun. The WebGl version ran really bad on my com though.
Nice polish
The controls fell a little imprecise for me. Also wasn't really sure what the green bar at the side was. Nice simple game, well done.
Nice game, beam mechanic is nice, although I feel the ray were really really slow.
Also I diddn't realise the first play I could move the beam once I had fired it.
Art is pretty good for compo entry. I fell pray to the pollution cycle of putting all my power plants next to each other, kinda made the game about how fast I could click.
Nice idea, quite chaotic, was a little difficult to figure out how to manage the coal and what effect it was actually having. Oh and that bloody big hill :s
Ambitious idea for the compo, well done for finishing. One thing I would like would be to be able to tell what my crew is doing without having to click on them
Fear my dragon awesome grrrrrr Really like the art style
Fun, was I figured out what I was doing was just a case of getting bad robot to move into my line of sight on his move. He got reckt :)
Feel like I want to dance now. Good idea and use of the theme and I like how the music changes when your moving. Feels a little slow sometimes but guess thats due to having to stick to the tempo of the music.
My firewall let me download exes, any chance of getting it in a zip?
Good concept, fun puzzler. I think its a little difficult to figure out how far the noise travels. Also love the sounds "ah ha"
Love the graphics and the music but doesn't feel like there is much game there. Great work and nicely polished for your first LD, well done.
I had the same problem with the exe. Running Windows 7
Quite enjoyed the combat, navigation was difficult though as I found it difficult to see the difference between the stars and the map.
Nice twist to the side scroller. Music is way to repetitive, to the point I rather it wasn't there.
Interesting take on a dice game, had the steam on in the background as I worked on my own game, so nice to finally get to play it. Turns out, I have no affinity with the fire gods.
Thanks for all the comments. I know theres not a lot of challege, game isn't very balanced, lots of numbers need tweaked. I did have more planned (like dino poop) but got stuck on a breaking bug for hours.
Interesting use of VR. I found adjusting the camera angle a bit clunky and felt like having someway to adjust Violet's distance from you would be nice. More spells would be awesome too. Good looking art and the vr bit works well, good job, well done.
What a good looking game, love the art. The relaxed feel of the game is great. I had no idea what was meant by "group" at first, maybe that needs to be clearer. Overall a very good entry.
That was epic, loved the story, its really well executed. Big issue I had though was the camera moving where ever I moved the mouse, was quite frustrating. Also watering the plants was such a chore but that might have been intentional haha. I'll do the chores if it keeps my Adam alive.
Loved the game, well done.
I like how sometimes you get a nice note selection, got the feeling I could make music using this haha. I did feel that if you held the keys down though it was just noise for a while.
Wow, so many zombies. Which is great. I love the low poly art style. I'd love to just be able to hold down the mouse button instead of constantly pressing it. Great entry, good job.
I'm shock how hard I found it to work the game of life rules in reverse in my head. Nice idea, and great tribute to the man. You might want to explicitly define when cells die though, if players arn't familiar with game of life they may miss that.
This game is so polished. Its a little hard for me, so diddn't get too far in but what I played it was great. I'd also have liked a free camera, but it might have damaged the style a bit.
Music and graphics work well. I kept getting a fade to black screen not really sure what that means.
@agrdev ah must be that, never noticed the days going down haha.
This game made me smile, totally practicing my funk moves now, love the humor. More moves would be cool. Great entry for a first jam.
I love Barky. Really liked how the music transisioned from room to room. I like how the moodlets let you know when to bark at people haha. I diddn't find it obvious what the toilet was, but thats a minor complaint as the moodlets more than made up for it.
I love game of life, R.I.P John Conway :'( good implementation. I'd like a zoom but you've already identified that. It might be cool if you could alter the rules at run time to see how it affect the sim.
I like the game, hits the concept pretty well, can't well fault it. Maybe a little more varience in the audio, but I'm really picking at straws there. Good job well done.
Solid tower defence game, would have liked some time to set up my towers before the level started but I geuss I like to procastinate.
My stratedgy meant no one was getting my loot, including me haha, as I just encased it in wall of obsidian and just ran round and shot the guys, which was fun.
The strat turned the game into a sort of bullet hell game but did leave me feeling like the walls were just there for bait. Would like to of had some advantage by being behind a wall, like arrow slits or something, as being behind a wall just seemed to mean you couldn't fight back and had to wait for them to break down your walls before you could do anything.
Good entry, quite enjoyed playing it as felt solid.
Music is really good. Its a little hard at the start as you have no idea what the items are and you don't really have time to read the tooltips. I'd also like the buttons to be a little more obvious, maybe resize the Sell/Equip buttons. Also might be nice to be able to read item descriptions before buying them. I really like the feel of this game and was an enjoyable experience, thank you, good work. p.s I love that music, what did you use to make it?
Music is good, I enjoyed hitting them with me "axe". Perhaps have a way to retreat from battle.
Took me a couple of plays to get used to the aiming, definately prefered the scroll wheel over the arrow keys. Nice to try controls that are different to the norm.
Good first time entry. The platforming felt off to me, was a bit floaty and unforgiving. Felt like the platforms graphics were bigger than the hitboxes leading me to fall a lot. Love how have a cut scene at the start though.
Wow, thats a really good jam game. Hard to fault. Audio is good, music is good, art style fits prefectly and the gameplay works well. Love that you basically need to use the thing your trying to protect to defend you. If theres one thing I'd like, and I'm being super picky here, it would be more weapon variety. Top job, well done.
I have the issue with it launching occulus rift app. Was interesting idea having to control two things at a time. Think I'd rather just hold the mouse button down to move rather than having to constantly click though. Nice concept, well done. #SaveTheKitty
I like the mechanic of dragging back the water, gave it a feeling of danger that I couldn't shoot while fetching water. I finished the game and saved the plant, thought difficulty was fine. I'd really like to have the shooting as just a hold the button down instead of constantly clicking, as I found that a bit hard to keep up for the whole game. I'd also make the bullets much bigger, could bearly see them. For your first LD game there solid mechanics and fun game, well done.
Can't fault this game, reminds me a lot of kingdom which I love and my pet is sooo cute :D . . . Old chap
Nice looking game, I like the art style and think its a good mechanic for the theme too. I'd like some indication that I'd hit the right key, as if the same key needs to be pressed multiple times for the same monster it can be hard to tell if I hit the right key or not. Also I ran into an error, but its a two day game jam game so forgivable. A good LD entry.
The online leaderboard is nice. Only issue I had was I kept moving my mouse off the browser and it stop my paddle from moving, not really sure if anything can be done about that though.
Looks like theres a lot of content in this game, wow. I'd like to be able to see what the moves do and stats of the dragons during a battle, I have a terrible memory and basic was just hitting random button haha. Also wasn't entirely sure which dragons were mine. Good job though, looks like a lot of work went into this, well done.
Wow, good thing I'm not a chef haha. Found it supprising challaging and kept my interset for longer than I'd thought it would. I did have an issue when I was waiting for what felt like age for a carrot, then like buses, two came at once.
Liked the old school feel of the game. As has been said a restart button would be nice.
Found the picking up grain bit quite clunky, some times I'd be pretty close to the grain and it wouldn't let me pick it up. Feels a bit slow too, by the time I'd picked up grain the chicken had run off. Well done for doing a 3d game with animation too.
Felt pretty solid, I really like the art. I think an indicator of when your being hit might be nice, as I found myself dieing a lot to monsters behind me. I never really felt like the plant was that much in danger, I'd always die first haha. All in all though a good entry.
It feels a bit clunky to move and cast with the mouse. I also found it a bit jarring when the round completed and the ui pops up straight away. I'd also like the passive skill to be separate from the active skills. Sounds like I'm being really negative, I really like this game, it has a lot of potential as its already quite fun. The art looks good already, I bet it would look stunning given a bit more time. Overall a good entry and a like the idea of being a healer.
Love the art, some sweet pixels there. Might be nice to have an alternative button for jumping, I find it difficult to use the use W for up in combo with A and D for sideways movement, but maybe thats just me. Platforming felt good, might be nice to have a few more platforms to jump on. Really good job.
Platforming feels good, I like the transistions. More levels would be cool.
Love the mood in this game, wow. The clouds were a little bugged for me I had to restart the game to get to the end but nota problem to play it again.
ps jumping upside down is supprisingly difficult.
The cursor keys are used to interact with items. Left to interact with things, Down to pick up / drop.
Nice idea, would be nice to have the grid a little more obvious. Took me quite a whil to figure that you don;t need to use all the slots, which is a little deceiving. Like the plan and move mechanic, plesant graphics and relaxing controls.
Cool game, love the idea of the darkness. Movement feels a bit sticky on the ground and floaty in the air for my liking. Graphics and music suit the game nicely. Did feel like only option is to hit obstacle at least once though.
Quite fun, I managed to complete it with 3:03 to spare. I pretty bad at memory games. the hit boxes seemed a little off on the spikes. The randomised nature of the items was good encouraged me to look around.
I like the idea, feel like there needs to be a reason to move away from the spawner you need though, I found myself just sitting still at each spawner. This would make neat turn based game, maybe clamp movment to a grid, different location for item spawning and more enenmy movement. It seems like the biggest threat atm is when there are so many enemies you can't actual reach the spawner. I liked the slow paced start, gave me a chance to figure out the mechanics. There is some potential here and I think you've done an amazing job for a 2 day jam.
I got such bad luck with my rolls. I got 75 in the exams and still failed to get into uni :s. Interesting game, I like the dialogoue options, and weird sorta stalker role play. However, it does feel a like there isn't much a player can do to improve their chances other than pray to RNGsus.
Lovely game, with a nice warm feel to it. Its a little hard to read the text and play the rhyme game, meaning I missed a lot of the dialogue. Its hard not to feel happy about this game, well done.
Interesting game, and polished too.
Interesting mechanic, bet this would work well on a touch screen, a mobile version might interesting. Its a little frustrating at the moment that the doesn't seem to complete its path totallt meaning it sometimes fails to activate the last dot. Good job, and excellent first LD entry.
Thought I had secured myself a safe location in the middle of some boxes, I died seconds later. The camera does start shaking if you stand still, or is that the mouse shaking haha. Could possibly add power-ups to add make it worth while not just standing still until a cat comes near. Good job, and it has casts so thats a plus for me :D
Thanks for pointing out the audio category thing, I'll have a look into the orders bug, diddn't have any enough time to balance or play test the game.
@tmvant the low walls, cover thing is a cool idea that diddn't even occur to me.
Thats awesome, love the graphics and the "mouth" sound effects, excellent
Thats such a good idea, and fun too, even the shooting is satisfying. Couple of things though, I feel like I need a little more leniency with the jumps and its hard to tell the difference between the different heights of the platforms. Good game though.
Nice game, I destroyed everything on the first playthrough, by instinct 0_o pretty sure I murdered children on my second playthrough, not by instinct.
I have the missing "openal.hdll" thing, how do I fix that?
@tipyx Yeah, the file is there, it just doesn't find it. I'm on Windows 10 if that helps.
@tipyx yeah, unblocked, disabled virus-protection :( looks like a fun game
Wow, I suck at typeing lol, good game though. I like the idea, I might suggest using a different colour other than yellow for the letters you have to type, can be hard to distinguish the yellow from the white.
Ambitious to make a multiplayer game for a game jam, plays well as a singel player game though. Nice music. I like how it quickly becomes a bullet hell of your own making. I prefer to just hold down the button to shoot rather than clicking like crazy. Nice job.
Oh and my score was "000000" each time :s
What a beautiful looking game, very polished, well done. Only thing I can say I really like is a marker to show who I currently in control of.
Nice, like the graphics and the music is awesome. Fun stratedgy game with interesting mechanics, my finger hurts now though lol. I had an issue selecting the units sometimes. Also I'd like to be able to pitch the camera so I can see where my units are a bit easier. Good game, well done.
I can't seem to place any of the buildings am I missing something? I like the idea. Also its a little annoying having the scrolling be on the mouse, everytime you go to click on a button the view scrolls away from your base.
That intro though <3 I was just restarting the game to watch that. I'd like to have an alternative key for the flip, on ther ight of the keyboard so I can use both hands.
Pew pew pew! I like the graphics, and I really like how my bullets bounce but I don't know why that appeals so much to me. I feel it would be better if the robots diddn't just spawn right infront of you though. Good job.
Nice, I'm terrible at chess thankfully I can click quick. Nice idea. How did you do the AI?
That was fun, the platforming bit is hard when getting punched in the face
:( the link is broken
Nice music, and nice tech for PCG. I found it a little hard to control, felt like it was full speed or stopped.
I "beat" the opposition, actually I lost. Not really sure how to run with the ball. Nice idea.
I like where it was going, shame you guys diddn't get to add everything you wanted too. The pcg is good for a game in a jam, adds relay value.
As soon as I saw the name I had to play this. Nice graphics and concept is fun, never realised how hard arithmetic is when your trying not to be eaten.
Simple yet quite fun and challenging, took me a while to figure out the controls but I've just finish the compo its 5am and my brain basically a patato atm.
That is some truely "epic" music.
