great art and style! one question, what tools have you used to create the smooth player animations?
It's even harder if you beat the game as Monkey ;-) ! Try to not collect the mutation blobs.
Thx headchant! Try to solve the game as starting Monkey. This means you can't collect the Spawnpoints.
Thanks for your well elaborate and motivating critics.
@kirill: the characters are create during the 48h
@Will Xyen: Glad you like the music. I made it using GarageBand.
@Spaceoff: The graphical contrast was one aim. World B/W and colorful Characters (human beings :-).
@madflame991: don't die often ;) ... well the spikes ... some love them ... some hate them ... for me it adds difficulty to the game
More colors ... hm ... i have to think about.
Thx @all
Hey thx juaxix! Oh man i like using new engines and push them to the limits. MelonJS is great and works on mobile devices too. But my game still misses touch input.
I choose the contrast and the difficult jumping because of the good old times and the unforgiving jump & runs from that time.
It's a very short and hard game. It was even harder but i thought it would be too painful ;-). But this was my objective.
If i lower the gravity the game would be too easy. It's a part of the gameplay ... dying is a part of it.
i think i need to create a post compo version :D ... thanks for all your feeback ... it's great!
Update: I added an Post Compo Version with Title screen, updated Soundtrack :), Pause Menu, Highscore and lots of bugfixes!
@amidos2006 Ah the first one who liked the changing graphcis and the idea of evolution from Monkey to Astronaut :). Thx
@lekochen You mean to scale it up? Because it's html5 and most browsers use antialiasing for upscale which looks bad. I have to scale it up natively, but therefore i have to rework the whole game. It needs some time, because currently i'm ill. Sorry :-/.
Your pixel graphic is very nice! I would choose the mouse buttons as weapon controls instead of keyboard.
Nice artwork.
Hey mate, nice concept. You need to push it forward in a post compo version. Try to add a second character for a second player and add simple combat struggeling for ressources.
Well done game. Stunning pixelgraphics and nice designed levels.
Nice concept but the gameplay is far to easy :). The design fits very well.
Haha fun game. I love the pixel style and the preacher.
The Gameboy Art Style is stunning!
I like turnbased combat games. Could be more strategic. I run into a blocken in creature inspection. Overall a well made game!
Well done graphic Style!
That a very deep and charming graphic style. The gameplay concept is also very nice. I had a similar idea some time ago, so it's nice to play something similar :-).
Please push it further, i'd like to play a final version!
Nice playable game. It's abit too fast for me but anyway good work for 72h!
I'm soo bad *haha, but your game is fun!
Great. Would be more cool if you had updated the graphics or css. But anyway ... great to see a textadventure here.
Nice to see a löve game. What about doing a löve webplayer version => https://github.com/ghoulsblade/love-webplayer
Game does not work. Server is not up. Sorry can't rate.
The first part, the continous up and down makes me crazy ;). But your Art Style is rare and the sound is clear and athmospheric. I think i need to take a closer look at Construct2.
thx for your game.
Oh i like it, because it's another html5 game :). You should add relaxing music. Take a look at SoundHelix or cgMusic.
Haha the funniest game i played so far. Great!
Ha, you choose the same 2bit style as me. But your game is a lot harder. Good work!
Well done graphics & music! I like the Graphicfilter :-).
Very interesting game concept. It should have much more interactive elements.
Hint: Update the mutations via slider bar without the need of button pressing.
All i all it's nice to see this concept. Try to evolve it. It has huge potential! Look at dwarven fortress.
Superb game. It's funny and tell a short story. Wow.
Nice graphics, but well it's no useable game. Anyway you should make a post compo Version :).
The graphic looks fun. Reminds me on the old game ZOOL. But the collision handling on edges is not the best. You should also remove the mouse cursor.
Nice gameplay mechanic. Maybe better use number of shots instead of distance as limit.
Wow. You should make a post compo version with online dna trading machanism.
As gnx said, nice concept but better make normal push movement instead of the vice versa.
btw. nice graphics.
This is art to me. The name, the gameplay, the graphics, the music. All fits together.
A stunning wonderful experience!
I really like the level building lemming idea. Maybe create an post compo version with more levels (level-editor).
Really great work.
Beautiful strange :)!
Try to port this to Love-Webplayer! Meet the love forum...there is a thread about it.
For you :) i ported your game to love-webplayer. Just put it onto a webserver.
http://sience.schattenkind.net/test/Biotic_webplayer.zip
If you like it, rate my game too :) THX
Ah great to see another MelonJS game. Wonderful graphics & music!
Nice gameidea and great music. I love the adlib soundstyle.
Very good graphic style!
Hint: Source download link does not work.
I reworked the crowd noises as i wrote in the included readme :).
It's a betting game. You have to find out how to spawn the players to win the game. It's well balanced and there is only a minor chance to win with the same team again and again. It's a so called META-Game :)
Chrome and Firefox have some problems reloading WebGL content. Try to restart the browser if it hangs. Sry.
Thanks :) ! I'm glad you enjoyed watching the fights. Yes i'm really thinking about a POST-compo version. Where you can choose Players for your Team and bet Money on them. Or maybe Coaching functions.
Hm not really.
The idea behind it's some kind of meta game. So it's not a game for a player ... but hey it's a game with rules and a chance :).
timtipgames thanks for your critic. I know that an intro screen explaning some rules of the mechanic would be nice, but i run out of time, because i started on the second LD day. So i had only ~12hours to make this. Thanks for trying :)
Please read the text above :)
Haha funny job! I like this game. Very good ideas and a good gamejam entry. Next time please add sound effects or music, thi swould give a bit more immersion.
The visuals are great, but it lacks some new ideas.
Unique concept and nicely done! The lerning curve could be a bit more challenging.
The idea is not new but well done and the art fits very well. It get a little bit too fast and i see no chance of winning the game. A counter to break a given time would be good!
The pxeil graphics are great! The mouse handling is a bit too slow for the fast heroes. All in all Well Done!
Pretty beautiful background graphics! Personally i feel that the character pixel look does not fit with the visual stunning backgrounds. Also the intro font does not fit. But all in all a well polished game entry!
I don't really get, what i have todo. But a game made with scratch is new to me :).
Mh not much gameplay but a nice sandbox for physics!
No source, no rating! Sorry but you need to read the rules!
A bit dumb, but i like mini games. Taking original graphic is not permitted! You have to create all graphics yourself! You can get many problems using copyrighted gfx!
Great graphic style and well done game design. Controls are a bit hard. I also have a QWERTZ keyboard ;-). Why not use mouse for targetting and WASD for movement?
I really like this kind of Button mashing gameplay. It's good to have a break from all this jump & runners :).
Nice Idea. It's hard to master. You should make a clue where to place the first box. I tried several times until i found out that the hero only collides with the head.
With adding sounds and music the immersion would be much greater. Nicce to see a Silverlight game here.
Wow very nice Gamemechanic. The graphic style is perfect for this game and it's well polished!
Well what can i say, i like this kind of game :). Well done!
Well done and a funny ending :).
Hey, another WebGL game :). Great! My game also runs on WebGL enabled Browser. cheers!
The two modes are nice. Using the shapewright tool for the shipdesign is also a great idea!
I really like your background music the most! Very polished game!
Wow what a great idea! You have my full respect! This is my LD game of the year.
Always great graphics! Gameplay could be a bit more strategically.
Very nice pixel graphics and game idea. I think the monsters should wander round with an attack range to the hero, otherwise it's a little bit to static. But overall very good entry!!
Great well polished game entry. I like the Dark.Art.Style. What about adding a light cone instead of seeing the whole playfield in a post compo version?
Lol, the music makes me smile!
Hm nice demo but where is the theme or gameplay?
sadly this game does not load in my chrome or firefox :-(
Where is the Source Code?
Very consistent game. The graphic style is wonderful unique and the music fits very well. The character movement or jump is little bit to slow from my opinion and the hitboxes a bit too sensitiv. I can't get to the through level 3 :/.
All in all very beautiful game!
Nice idea :) . Could be more varied.
I think the dog looks like a fish :).
Survived it. Treasure 40 :).
Great minimal game!
Nice game, but never use 'Z' in your games! Only on english keyboard this keys are together in one row.
Wow an really nice adventure game. Consistent great graphics (esp. the comics are nice!) and good theme Idea. You also choose a good setting for christmas time. You get full humor point :)
Thanks. Yes, it's indeed meant for younger players :).
@TaleLore: Yes. If you don't catch the raindrops, the water is rises every day a bit more. If there is enough water to push Fred under water the also game ends.
Ok :-/. Please try another version. I will disable the WebGL version for now, until i fixed it.
The WebGL Version works with Firefox & Safari. Chrome has a bug in repeating the music.
Nice combination of Ideas! But the levels are far too easy. You could add more stones or different behaviours :). Well done game! I also played around with this tileset: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucwRwM8nJck I think it fits perfectly for your game!
Nice graphics. I wouldn't have choosen garageband music, but something that matches the keypresses. Anyway well done and great pixelart style!
Nice Style, nice gameplay...but far to hard for Mouseusers. Great work! Need this on iOS :)!
Great graphics and fitting music! The gameplay could be more fluid. Dropping and grabbing the box break the gameplay. But i understand that this was intended. There is a small bug where I run out of the screen and couldn't get back. Overall a very great old-school shooter!
Cute characters. Voices could be louder. For non nativ english speakers it's really hard to understand. But very nice game idea!
I like the style. I wouldn't have choosen to generate the level new each turn. It would be more competative to generate more stuff the further afar the car drives.
Great to make a newton based game! On the first student-semester we had to code this too. Great work!
Nice litle game. I like how you animated the water. Nice Idea!
The graphic is a bit inconsistent in style, but i löve shoot-em-ups! It's very good playable. I like the bulletformations.
I can't really believe you wrote ~100kb (excluding libraries) of code in such a code quality and made all the graphics in 72 h ;). But if...really really good.
Can't find the Mask of Zuul. Damn! I have to play it once more and more and more :)
Great graphic and style. Just a bit to normal for an LD game.
Hey, great someone uses Codea!! It would be cool for other people, when you create a win/mac/love runnable using this https://github.com/effelsberg/loveCodea
here is an howto https://bitbucket.org/TwoLivesLeft/core/wiki/loveCodea
Very polishes shooter with nice graphics! Cloud be more difficult, because switchign is not really needed.
The one ship idea is cool! Nice done. I'm not better than you ;).
Charming game and nice puzzels.
Cute hamster :). I would have exchanged the pilot with the hamster ;).
Nice retro style game and a lo of levels! First i thought its a puzzel game but then i realized that reflexes are more needed. Some levels are very hard :-) Can't pass map 8.
Very unique game idea!!! The art is also great and i hope to see a full game oone day :).
Very nice experience! Lovely music and nice Idea. Maybe jumping is a bit too difficult.
Very clean art style! The gameplay fits the theme perfectly. The pace and balancing is also very good. But the game really needs and online highscore :-D ! Best Jam game so far.
Cute game. I stucked in level 5 and can't get out of the box with the stars. Jumping could be faster. But well done game and really a lot of levels!
Haha cool game! Reminds me on new kids on the block. A minigame collection was also our idea, but in the end we only had one scene :).
Nice idea with the daylimit and i like that you choose dart to implement it. I think LudumDare is always good to learn new things.
Wow really nice entry. I was amazed how well gameplay flow is. Really really amazing work!
Wow so great. The most amazing game. I love the cookie idea and the one screen gameplay. This idea is so wonderful! Full stars!
Keept me longer playing :) . Very nice adaption!
Nice graphics. The overall gameplay speed is a bit slow.
Can't play it :(. Why does it not load in my browser? Other unity games are working?!
Ok, working. Startscreen is black until the cursor goes into lock mode. I love dungeon crawlers :) Great game for 48h! I'm also developing one http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=24705.0 ... but not for LD.
Nice game. The Idea has potential but the mechanic should be more difficult, more puzzle like.
I love it!
Thanks @Winmill Games
Yeah it's hard like Dark Souls, but it's the easy mode.
For the post compo version I plan a Timed Mode with onlien highscore ;).
@marcolomeo : Yeah you are the first one who noticed this :-D. The first tip is directly in the mainmenu.
@hexdie There is a way to find it out, but you just didn't read the instructions or not carefully looked at the game. The whole game. Or just read the comments. It's not that simple, you also have to keep in mind the first solution.
Nice animations and music! Impressiv amount of scenes.
I really like the red and green blood :).
Huge game and very nice art direction. Also the great leveldesign. Adding the tips directly into the game is a choice i also prefer.
Good idea and story! Your theme, love as an weapon is somewhat similar to my theme :). Nice!
Great art, like always :). I like the kind of polish you put into the game and the combat. The enemies reminds me on something.
What means N.O.D.E. ?
Awesome idea. I love couch multiplayer games and I will add it to my top list. Maybe it would be better to give a player only one color. I'm not sure. But anyway, gorgeous game! It's a five for me.
Cool Typing Game. Very innovative Idea to combine this with strategy genre.
For me it's a bit too complicated to handle slowdown and redirect together. But it's polished and graphic/sound is amazing. Great job!
Wow, polished like hell! Great game S0lll0s that you and your team made.
I like the intro screen and the oldshool blink :).
Hey Löver :). Very nice graphics and sound. Nice idea and really good polished! Only i would change the controls to keys+mouse.
Very fun game! Need a bit of gameplay, but as sandbox game it's a lot of fun.
Great style and athmosphere! The fixed camera is a great overall!
I only don't like the Alone in the Dark control scheme, but it's no complain for your game.
I would like to see more entries like this!
Damn hard! Great leveldesign. Very responsive and Pixelartstyle fits well. The die animation in lava is great too!
Great idea and mechanic! Very well coded as it's not just another tiled map map game :). For a real game I would only add music and some fun.
Interesting but complicated to control.
Cool Idea to use a kite in a game.
I wouldn't use this as weapon and handling is a bit complicated. But the athmosphere and kite is very good!
Very nice script and a lot of content.
I only dislike the mouse hoover not move system, where spots are not highlighted. But it's not game relevant.
Great game overall!
Great Idea and well done. The style is awesome. It reminds me on tge old adventure Cruise of a Corpse :-).
To adapt the abilities of the enemies is great. It could be more puzzle like, but for Compo this is a great achievement. The music is stunning 5/5. Love it.
Cool, an working iPad entry! It plays very smooth! The controls are superb!
Cool idea! Nice use of shaders btw.
The Idea is so Übercool! I really like couch multiplayer games! Superb entry!
Well done game. Nice visuals and animations. Interesting weapon idea!
Very cool that you used GoDot as Engine. The record/playback mechanic is very nice. I def. have to look at your code. Cool entry!
It's fresh to see a game without tilesets! Three midi tracks and your own playbacksystem, great stuff!
I esp. love the third track. It's most fun to play.
Amazing game leafo!
Indeed, a clever puzzle idea. I know how much work a puzzle game is, but often people don't see it, just because it has not rich visuals.
Great Idea to change the level and give the player replayability. But it's hard. Very hard, which is good.
I like people using thier own libs and projects. Cool game and impressiv work!
I love space managing games. Cool to see one at LD! I can even play it on iPad. Top notch!
Indeed, nice mechanic. I found it a little bit too easy, when fast clicking the mouse. This way you can fly through the levels.
Great polish and a lot of content. Just great!
How cool is that, a pinball game in a gamejam. This is one of the best ideas how to deal with the theme. Great!
Great to see another LÖVEer! Great game, great animations and effects. Also the idea is very innovative.
You could distribute xour game with mono/monogame runtime, this wouldn't require to install xna and .net.
But anyway, for the first game great achievement!
A lot of content you put into the game. The background theme, to kill dinosaurs to use thier bones as fuel is very creepy. But the game is fun to play and I really want more dino types.
Cool idea, to you your mind as weapon :). I basically did the same with my game.
Really cool entry and for innovation!
Awesome game and a lot of scenes. The music fits well and the sliding puzzle mechanic is great! In some scenes I thought to get stuck but than I found an escape. This is great leveldesign.
It reminds we a lot to sliding puzzles I played in my childhood.
Only one minor thing. I would put in more contrast between moveable parts and not moveable parts of a scenes. It's hard to detect.
Fun game! I don't liek cats but this one I like. Because it's orange. With yellow stripes :-D.
You rock guys!!!
@Rocketship You may missed the first turn, where only one ball lights up? The game waits, until you select the number of balls that where show in this turn.
To test if you have selected the right number of balls, just press another ball...until the game resets, because you selected a wrong ball or had a wrong order.
I hope this helps.
Very good levels! I think you needed a lot of time to finetune the game.
The graphicstyle reminds me on Don't Starve.
Do a smartphone game out of it!
Hey Christina, as usual great job on pixelart! It's also stunning how you managed to handle the difficulties that comes in doing flip3d. I hope it's not the end :-).
Just one thing. I think i spotted an error on placement of the shield on right farmost tile (=> right,6*forward,right,forward).
Interesting idea to play around with patterns to fullfill a result.
But you better write in the text a short howto. AT first it was not understandable to me, why i can't place the place flowers directly in the pots.
The icons on the right side are flowers. You place them yourself. But in your description you write you plant seeds. Also i would add a second layer for the pots, as it's not clear why you should plant the seeds outside the pots.
I mean...this is totally ridiculous :-).
But i like the idea. It's very innovative!! I also like Pico-8.
The AI does not worked for me. I stacked several houses together, but AI does nothing. I really appreciate the game, because small strategy games are rare because it's very complicated to fine tune them.
I know, that doing this is more complicated than doing an simple action shooting game. Great job.
Nice ambientation. Zen gardering :). Could you please speed up the progression. I waited several minutes and I only saw two plants, no birds. :-(
Very fun game and supercool pixelart! The animations are fabolous for so little time!
Very complete entry.
Super great entry! Thats indeed the first rap battle card game. I wished you had more explained the cards before. I'm a dumpnuss in rap battles ;-).
Where is the 2 player mode? Need it! Now :) !
The two guys look great, the sounds 'Fett' it's polished.
Only the theme...is no 5 stars...but thats only a minor concern.
Rest is 5 for me!
Ok, i don't undertsand this game but thats why it makes fun!
The controls are hard to understand, the sounds are ugly but the music is great and the graphic style is fabulous!
I really like it :)!
Uih...complex game. I never thought you have a shop in it to unlock new weapons :-D ! Great idea.
Only i would make it round based.
Wow this is hard! And fast. And bullethell :-).
Only the spawn position i would put on the bottom. At first it's difficult to realize where you are.
Wonderfull relaxing! The theme is suberb fullfilled and writing a poem for an LD game is just great :) !
Carefully choosen colors. A white character is also a nice choice. Great overall design.
Only handling could be improved.
Theme top! Graphic top! Sound=Gameboy! It's challenging and fun.
Love it.
You should also add an link to instantly play the game on web emulators. Here is one.
http://taisel.github.io/GameBoy-Online/
Ok, collission is not perfect, but i like the jumping part that you fall down fast! Good start!
Nice fitting music, fast gameplay and i love the Master System because of the more limited palette. The game is hard 😅
It's an idle game.
It takes 4hours overall. Sorry 🙈
Jam? Thats why it’s „Extra“ Category.
Cheers
Haha nice! But why can I push the pizza under my car and why doesn't it protect me from the lava on the ground!!!?!! Satan it's buuuuuug ;-)
Great atmosphere, dark and moody! Everything fits togehter.
Hard. Just hard! I'm not hard enough *haha.
Good game! I like the that it's fast and everytime new.
UI looks clean & nice. Is there a way to scroll out more? Looks like a take on The Traveling Salesman Problem.
Well, it's more up than down, right? But is it also depth? In any case, it's fun and it's damn hard!
