What could go wrong.. by iMer 2018-12-03T06:11:36Z
Very cool idea! I'd get one stuck in a corner occasionally (the rocks in corners prevent that when present) and wish I could just take them out with the scythe!

Fantastic puzzle game! I wasn't able to finish in a timely manner (I suck at puzzles) but I was very impressed with the level design and game overall.
bug: holding P causes the game to spaz out.
@boltkey I will be honest, no, I got frustrated and gave up. Puzzle games aren't really my thing but I can still appreciate that you made a fantastic game :)
This is one of my favorite games so far. It's simple, fun, and I wish the levels kept going!
Within seconds after starting, I clicked airlock vent and it sucked everyone out, including me, but since I was the last one out the door, it counted as a win! I played again and it was much more time consuming to lock everybody in the cargo hold and vent them.
I couldn't figure the game out :(
I made it to about 90 seconds. Really fun idea! I had some trouble with space bar registering, it seemed it only worked intermittently and kept failing me when I most needed to pick up and run with a bomb!
This game is amazing for a jam! I'm very impressed. It's one of the few games I'm replaying just for the fun of it. Fantastic job!
I beat Hard on my first attempt at it. Built markets early and ignored thieves den. I had so much money I couldn't spend it fast enough and shot from 0% to victory.
It looks like a good start to a fun game. I don't think it's finished - you can spam right click to generate infinite time remaining, and the sacrifices don't seem to have any meaning. They don't really feel like sacrifices, it feels like you are creating new people.
The game was confusing and took me awhile to figure out. I think some text instructions would help out. I like the animations :)
Super short and sweet. I played through all 3 paths, enjoyed the dialogue. Thanks!
I first clicked "No" the first in the WebGL version and the game froze and had to be F5'd :(
I think punch as a hotkey would be better off as a button on the screen since it's the only other control.
I really liked the mechanics and controls. Physics could use a little tweaking (e.g. tapping jump a bunch causes mid air jumps due to jump cutoff implementation).
This game is too real! Very clean and polished. There was a lot of downtime and it seems like you would have to play for a long while in order to be in danger of losing, unless the time between days shortens or email frequency increases over time (I'm not sure if it already does this).
@great-bobleny, you have to kill the big baddie, the demon detector in the top left is actually a demon compass, follow it to find and kill the boss. The crux of it is your players don't heal, so you go as far as possible with one character and then sacrifice it after a level to salvage some of its experience.
The strategy is very straightforward but the instructions don't make it immediately clear. I enjoyed the game and especially enjoyed the music. Thanks!
P.S. Your only link is to your post-LD game, which was worked on outside of competition time. I know it's only bugfixes and tuning right now, but if you keep working on it, reviewers in the future could be rating a much different experience than day 1 reviewers.
Super cute game! I'm terrible at it, but it's cute!!
@sthor726 Thanks! For anyone having trouble winning, using a mouse instead of a trackpad helps (if you happen to be on a laptop), and take note that fire rate decreases the longer you hold the fire button down.
@wdelvi Seriously, this turned out way more morbid than I expected. I thought about recording some screams but I didn't want to subject anyone to that lol
Thanks everyone for the kind words!
@funkyjive Thanks for letting me know. One other person has reported this, but I've been unable to reproduce it - it might be a browser-specific issue.
@willbl3pic Sorry about that. It's a problem called "tunneling", the bullets are are moving from one side of a target clean to the other in a single frame for you, which means there's no collision. I was developing at 120+ fps which means the frame steps are so small the issue is not present. I should've added raycasting during bullet movement!
I had serious issues moving and collecting resources and wasn't able to progress very far.
@mirage The movement is very unresponsive, I have to click many, many times to get the character to move to my cursor. I tried it again just now and continue to experience the same issue.
The game was more fun than I though it would be! I initially didn't like the 2D mixed with 3D but it grew on me. There's lots of typos in the instructions FWIW. Great job!
Fun idea! I ended up with one robot and made it to 185 points before getting stuck.
We tried playing the web version, and the first thing that happened was the game closed because player 2 hit Ctrl, and player 1 hit W. Ctrl+W closes tab in Chrome :( We tried again with a "no jumping" rule, and ran into Ctrl+D, which de-focuses the game and tries to bookmark the page.
The audio didn't work for me so Trump just moved his mouth for a long, long time before the game started. The character's movement appears sticky and will often just keep walking in one direction. I couldn't get very far :(
I reached round 7 and lost as well. I really like the graphics and the concept and the gameplay. Fantastic work!
The idea is hilarious and also turned out to be a great game! Loved it!
I missed the distinction between + sacrifices per click and + pints per second, but that could be my fault. The pace does seem pretty slow, but maybe not when compared to other idle games. Nice job on your first LD!
This is really fun! It gets really difficult really quick!
