Really fun, unique concept. I had a lot of difficulty getting the fish to move to way I wanted it to, but the destruction was pretty satisfying so it was still enjoyable. Nice job.
Hello! Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but neither the Win_x32 or Win_x64 builds run on my machine (Windows 10).
Woo Cave Story!
Great game! Love the art style and everything worked fine. Always happy to see VR games submitted.
Loved the art style, felt very Hotline-Miami inspired!
Woah, nice game! The ability to switch perspectives on the fly was tough to wrap my head around at first- but after playing for a bit it started to make a bit more sense. I loved the sound effects, and also enjoyed how stressful it became trying to manage running for resources and barricading doors while enemies pour through the ones that were broken down!
I'm not going to lie- I don't think I have the mental fortitude to complete this game, although I enjoy what I did play of it. The distractions are on point, and the fact that you managed to voice just about every 2-3 letter word I could think of is impressive.
Definitely the most unique game I've seen so far, great job!
This is one of the best games I've played so far trying out the LD entries. The art style is superb, the sounds (though maybe a little too loud) fit in perfectly, and I loved the humor.
Again, great job on the project and I'd love to see this expanded upon even more!
Such a simple, yet addictive concept. I have a feeling I'll be playing this one trying to beat it long after judging ends.
Pretty simple, but the harshness of the audio makes it a bit tough to go very far
I love this one! The basic gameplay feels a lot like Recettear, and I like the backstory you've given it.
At first it's really tough to figure out how much to sell your items for, but once you get the hang of things the game becomes much more manageable. Great work!
Loved the 'Fuck Off' button. Art style is overall great though I couldn't figure out where I was supposed to direct the people towards! Would love to try this again after it gets some fixes (or maybe I'm just terrible).
Very challenging. I like the ability to vault over enemies, and it's cool to finally have a game where just because you have a big weapon- that doesn't mean you can easily solo a horde of enemies! Great work.
I got the true ending: http://puu.sh/sMtYU/b83f0a2cbb.png
Great game, I really like the cannon!
Hey, just a heads up- if you upload the .zip you can create a sharable link that goes directly to it instead of having google drive zip everything up (and making us wait a while!)
Really cool concept! Great art style, and I had quite a bit of fun trying to get it exactly perfect. Is there an ending, or does it just go forever?
Enjoyable and interesting concept. It's clear that you had a lot of fun with this game!
Funny game, definitely don't think I'm going to be seeing another game like this one!
So cute! Some of my favorite art in the compo. I think the triggers for the events are a little small though (took me a bit of tapping back and forth before I was able to activate some of the things).
Aside from that, great work- and this is definitely one of my favorite games that I've played so far!
Haha, great idea.
Cool concept- I have a weak spot for zombies. The player characters are pretty funny though I had trouble aiming, and none of the buttons seemed to work on the main menu.
All in all, great work and I'd like to see this taken a bit further!
I love this one. The ability to manually enter a firing solution is a great addition, and the art style is simple- yet enjoyable. Great job on a superb project!
Simple concept, but addicting gameplay! Nice work!
Very interesting concept, but I ran into an issue where the men would get stuck and just walk in place.
Excellent art style! I get a very Super-Meat-Boy-esque vibe from the main character. The challenge of having to restart from the very beginning reminds me of old flash games that would send you back to the very beginning if you messed up (And that's a good thing :P).
Such a strange game, very interesting though. I liked the odd controls and thought it was a very bold decision.
Loved this one! A very awesome take on the theme, and you got the aesthetic down to a tee! My only gripe is that it was tough to remember what each shape did- maybe a billboard that had the shapes on it in-game?
Either way, great work and this is definitely one of my favorite entries so far!
Really cool game! I've played it for quite a bit, but I can't seem to win :(
It was also a bit confusing how they are called tomes on the top, but books in the cards.
Either way, great job!
Cool concept, controls were a bit rough to get used to. I'd like to try a version where w always moves you up, a always moves you left, etc. I do like the mouse aim though, good job!
Cool entry! If I could make one suggestion, maybe the player shouldn't be ale to move while the menu is open.
Aside from that I'd like to see a version expanded upon with sound and more enemy types!
Woah, love the artstyle and animations. Really wish there was some sound or background music, but aside from that- great work!
Vending Machine: The Video Game is a great game, and by far the most difficult one I've played so far. Here was my high score:
https://puu.sh/sOFyP/224fa9cbdf.png
https://puu.sh/sOFuN/70ab788fff.png
The level with the floating enemies was pretty cool:
https://puu.sh/sOFqc/d2725f3df4.png
It did get dark, but thankfully the trees were able to give me the strength to get through the trying times:
https://puu.sh/sOFef/58919c70b5.png
Unfortunately, there's a bug where once your score gets high enough- you get flung out of the map and have to close the game.
Great job, I'd love to have leaderboards.
Very quiet, but aside from that great humor and fun concept. Good job!
(Love the quotes on the webpage)
Very unique game. I like the gameplay, but I feel like it would be nice if it was more apparent when you attack / take damage. It was a little tough to figure out what was going on at first, though eventually I got the hang of it.
Really neat game, saw your reddit post. I like the simplistic art style. Nice job!
Amazing!! I loved the panicked gameplay of trying to manage all your different pieces of equipment, and the art style is great.
My best score was 16975, and I think this is one game that I'm going to keep installed and playing long after the event is over.
I think you need to zip up the data folder with the .exe, I can't run what you've published.
Awesome game! Played it all the way through, and the map maker was a very good addition!
Haha great game. Love the idea behind it, and the execution was perfect. The first time I tried to do the best I could, and then the second go around I just published everything that came my way- and got surprisingly far (so extra points for being realistic). Great work, and gj on the memes Andrew.
Love the concept, really cool take on the theme! Maybe a few too many ingredients but aside from that, great job!
Oh boy... I am not good at these types of games. Either way, I like the simple art style and sound effects. Nice work.
Very difficult to play, you move really fast. I like the idea though.
I'm not sure how to play this.
Very interesting take on the theme, loved the final level with the sheep that had guns on their backs, and trying to figure out how to stealth my way through a level was lots of fun!
I get an error trying to play:
http://puu.sh/sOHaJ/853da3908b.png
Windows 10 with the Waterfox browser.
I like the art style, the enemies look great! Very interesting take on the one room theme. Wish there were sounds though :(
Good job!
Oh yesssss. Love the art style so much, although it appears my men went rogue and decided to join the pirate fleet:
http://puu.sh/sOIpd/6b8a877505.png
at this point I was stuck in an infinite loop of firing and bracing for impact.
I'd love to play this once there's more gameplay to experience!
Graphics are nicely stylized and game is sufficiently difficult. Nice job.
Simple and engaging concept. I like the backstory, and I also liked how you made the portal teleport around to make it more challenging. Nice work on the game!
Really interesting take on the theme!
Excellent controls and great art, nice work!
Fun concept, great job!
Love the graphics. Wish there was a way to see how the enemies attack.
Great job on making this game! It's pretty addicting, though I'm not good enough to get past the mid-200's :(
Very cool! Fantastic game feel, and I love the different weapons!
Great game! Love the audio, and it reminds me a lot of qwop!
Thank you for taking the time to play and rate my game mdzimmer, I'm glad you enjoyed what you experienced!
Thank you to everyone for the kind words and constructive criticism! I've got so many ideas on how to improve my game thanks to all of you, and I really appreciate the feedback (positive and negative)!
Thanks for the heads up Tauka, I didn't notice that until it was too late to change! :(
Hey @batmanasb, I didn't know we were allowed to make changes like that- but I will fix it now!
Also the barricades are meant to give you a bit of protection- you and your turrets are able to shoot over them.
I've updated the build with that fix. Thank you for your feedback!
@xesenix, are you playing on the OSX build? I don't have a mac so there isn't really any way for me to test it :(
Thank you @PeachTreeOath- again, I'm still not 100% sure how much we're able to change our game during voting but I'm definitely looking to expand upon this after the jam and that would be a great change to make.
Yeah, you might want to mark this one as nsfw.
AMAZING! So happy to see someone tackle something as ambitious as UNET in a 48 hr gamejam! Here are some observations I made:
1: Maybe turn down the volume on the player's movements- it's a bit too loud compared to everything else
2: Love the humor, me and my buddy were chuckling throughout most of our time playing.
3: Nice art style, simple and effective.
4: Great job on the music, fits the gameplay perfectly.
5: The music puzzle was a little tough to figure out, but we made it through after some time.
6: The boops from the buttons got a little hard to listen to after a while, maybe look into either turning the sound down a bit or making it a less harsh noise.
Our favorite puzzles were the ones where you had the directional arrows and you had to guide the other person to the goal.
All in all, great job on your game- it was a lot of fun!
Interesting, the second part was significantly harder than the first, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The art style was cool. Good job!
Awesome Christmas-Themed game! Love the art style and it was fun to spin around in circles and fly out of control!
Great and unique twist on the theme! Love the art style, and the music is fantastic. It's pretty challenging, but after a while you get the hang of it. I could see this being a game commissioned by Adult Swim or something of the sort.
Great job on making a fun, challenging, and addictive game.
Neat game. The one suggestion I would have would be to have to game restart on death instead of close.
Maybe I'm missing the point, but I can't get past the first room. My dynamite sticks won't blow up the doors or walls.
I ran into an error where I turned invisible after using the bed at the very beginning.
Aside from that, very funny game! Absolutely relatable. The ending was really sad, however :(
Do you ever get motivated enough to play the piano?
Well, I suppose I'll have to seek medical attention because I found your game to be hilarious. The gameplay is simple enough, but I very much like your interpretation of the theme.
My favorite line was the protagonist whining "I-I caaan't doooo that" every time I tried to jump.
Fun game and good art. Played great with a controller.
Wooh! Very trippy once you reach the third screen. Don't think I have the mental fortitude to finish this one. Great job though- very unique idea!
Wow, this is great! I absolutely love the music, what program did you use to create it?
One of the most interesting concepts I've seen so far- I enjoy how fast you can get going once you build up enough speed! The amount of time it takes to fully upgrade feels just right. And the music combined with the great pixel-art aesthetic makes this game a very enjoyable experience. Great work, and I'd love to play this game again if it was expanded upon with more levels!
Great game, but such a sad story :(
Such is life.
Cool game. I like the art style that you went with, and the only thing I would suggest if you decide to expand on this would be adding some sounds!
Haha great idea for a game. I caught myself flailing the mouse around clicking rapidly multiple times. It would be cool to see a difficulty mode added to the game that makes the cards move faster / spin more rapidly!
Such a cool idea and interesting twist on the theme! I'm a sucker for space stuff so I especially enjoyed this game. Great work, and I'd like to see an updated version of this with improved graphics.
Awesome work! I love escape-the-room style games, so this was right up my alley!
Really cool game with an awesome art style, and great humor! My one complaint is the difficulty spike on (what I assume is) the very last level. Everything was very easy until that one, and then the screen is filled with enemies and it's extremely hard.
Anyways, great work!
Great entry! I'm a long-time fan and you inspired my to enter in this Ludum Dare! Can't wait for the postmortem video!
Could use some instructions. Seems interesting.
Really tough, I couldn't make it very far- but like the idea you were going for. Great job!
Really like the aesthetic, very cool concept!
Cool! Saw your comment on my entry and knew I had to check yours out as well!
The controls feel great and I like the simplistic art style, great job. I'd love to play an expanded version of this.
Very challenging, but cool idea- nice job.
Controls were a bit tough to get the hang of at first, but after that initial hurdle the game was fun, great job.
cat.png
Mwahahaha **I AM THE RULER OF THIS DOMAIN**!
For real though, this is seriously impressive. Doing all of this in 72hrs is no joke. Congrats on pulling it off, and I look forward to your next LD entry!
Cool idea, I love how ambitious it is for 48hrs. Unfortunately I wasn't really able to figure out how to play it, but the art style was charming- and it seems like others were able to offer decent feedback on gameplay.
Great work! :)
Nice work! Very interesting puzzle game. I love the humor, and the patchwork artstyle is very charming! :)
(Also thanks for adding a skip button :p)
I agree completely with @larrychupacabra. I would seriously consider polishing this up and marketing it as a puzzle game for kids! (Maybe make it a tad easier early on because my dumb brain couldn't make it past level 2 :p)
Excellent work!
I'm going to start with the stuff I didn't really like, because I really really liked this submission, but there's just a few things that I think could have been done a bit better which prevented me from loving it:
- The controls were a bit rough at first. There were many situations were I would accidentally read a note multiple times because I kept thinking LMB was move. More on this later.
- The camera movement was also disorienting and I feel like it may have worked better if we were just given an overview of the entire area we were in, instead of a close up with the camera following the player around.
- Also, I couldn't really use the telescope because the game didn't lock my mouse cursor (web).
- @chaseplays mentioned that the inconsistencies in sprite scale, and I fully agree, it made it a bit difficult to tell what was going on sometimes.
- The text could really do with an outline- half of the time you can't read it because it's white on white! :(
- I also didn't really understand how the mailbox puzzle worked. I just sort of clicked LMB and RMB until it gave me the key. It seemed like prompts were missing on about half the popups.
But now, the stuff I liked:
- The music, it's perfect.
- The art style isn't overly complex. It's very utilitarian, and that works well.
- Both of those add up to create a great atmosphere. I was nearly fully immersed in the world you had created.
- There's so much content for 48 hours, I'm seriously impressed.
- The story is simple, but engaging. It kept me playing for much longer than most of the other LD entries I've tried so far (definitely the first one I've felt compelled to finish).
All in all this is a fantastic entry to LD38, and I would really like to see it expanded upon and given the small fixes that would push this game from good to great! :)
Any idea on when a Windows build will be out? I would love to give it a try.
Woah. I don't know what to say after playing this.
- The story was great- but I want so much more! It just sort of ended :( - The art is phenomenal. Great job. - The music, ESPECIALLY the transitions, are great. - The way the speech bubble follows the speaker was very well done, however the text didn't follow the bubble! - Very fun setting.
Excellent work, I loved this submission.
Not too bad, though it was tough to keep control on the track- I kept sliding around (got 2:40 on the first track :c)! Aside from that, great work on creating three tracks and a local leaderboard in 48hrs!
Hello, Yes I helped make this
Nah, just kidding. But seriously, this game is crazy- there's so much to take in. Congrats on creating this in under 72 hours!
I really like the art style you went with, and although the controls are a bit wonky- I got used to them pretty quick. Nice work!
Yes yes yes, I love the title so much. We went similar ways with out interpretation of the theme, and I love the direction you took. :)
The audio transitions when the dark star gets close is awesome, and I'd love to know how you went about implementing that.
Great work, pretty easy- but very entertaining while it lasts!
Nice! Very difficult, but I love me some tower defense games, so I think I'm going to be putting some real time into this after judging is over. ;)
Very interesting. I played for a bit but didn't run into any of the random events. Regardless, the dialogue was entertaining, and the premise for the game is intriguing. I'll have to check it out further when I get the time.
o7 maplestory guildmate
Pretty good for 48 hours, but I was pretty confused on what to do. Either way, cool concept and nice job. :)
Oh my god, this game is absolutely adorable! For some reason, I'm not able to interact with anything though! (Windows x86_64, 1920x1080). The meter shows up for just a moment before flickering out. I've tried holding, mashing, nothing works :(
I'm going to come back to this later, because I seriously want to play your game! :)
Yep, restarting fixed the issue. Not sure what was up!
Great job on the game. I loved everything about it!
world.png
This game was beautiful. Absolutely relaxing.
I do wish there was a sandbox mode that let me be as big of a world as I can be!
Thank you for making such a great game.
Very interesting! I really like the music and how the enemies towards the end get almost bullet-hellish. Great work :)
Thank you to everyone that's played and rated so far!
@camilo
Haha, there's the secret ending! Glad you liked it- the characters and dialogue was a last minute addition but I'm so happy I was able to get it in there! I very much look forward to expanding on the story next Ludum Dare ;)
@ilseroth
No, thank **you** for playing it <3
@wildmusketeer
I appreciate that a lot! The controls were definitely the toughest part of the game to get down, and I think if I were to do it again I would lower the drag a bit so you slide more, and have the power bar charge up quicker.
@scriptorum
I hadn't even thought of that- what a great idea. That would have solved some of the control issues mentioned above! Thanks for playing :)
@aurelien
Yeah, I was a bit afraid to make it too challenging. I wanted people to be able to finish it and get the secret ending without having to spend too much time retrying! My own personal build is quite a bit tougher. ;P
@equinox Great call, certainly something I should have addressed! I am glad you had fun!
@nilanjan Thanks!!
@eddynardo Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm very humbled, and glad you enjoyed your experience, even with the few issues you had 💖
@jushiip I have a surprise for you: try continuing after you beat the game, and then getting a little bit bigger ;)
@jhandsy Yeah, if I were to do this again, that's definitely something I would change! It was something way far down on my bucket list and just never made it into the final release :(
Very interesting @jackyjjc - would you mind posting your specs so I can figure out what the issue is?
Sweet! I really enjoyed this one. The right-stick mechanic is very cool, though my thumb did get pretty tired after a single playthrough :c. I think the camera mode also should be a toggle, it got tiring having to hold the button for so long!
I love the art and the music- very impressive for how much time you had to work on this.
Also, very unique concept. I've only seen one other game take things to the bacterial level- and I absolutely love what you did with it.
Great work all around, wish I could just continue from game over instead of restarting :(
Very sorry to hear you weren't able to finish :( I'll be looking out for your next project!
Haha nice. Great humor, and I really liked the music! One issue I had was getting stuck on platforms pretty frequently. All in all, great work for 48 hrs! :)
Here's my entry if you wouldn't mind giving some feedback: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/dr-m-littles-planet-mass-overdrive
I really like this one! The one thing I would like to see if this was expanded upon would be a sandbox mode where you have unlimited citizens to plop down, and were able to pick the disasters! Awesome idea, and great execution- especially for 48hrs!
Nice! Very unique take on the theme, but you pull it off well. I do wish I could see more below my character though, I accidentally ran into 'enemies' a couple of times! :(
Hahaha well done! The audio is great, and I absolutely love how frantic the game gets once you make it to normal difficulty!
Haha, you can just go right back to bed and end the game there. Nice.
Very nice art style, and the multiple endings are cool. I feel like the planets might have crossed a bit too quickly though. Even going as fast as I could, I was barely able to fix the robot in time.
Regardless, nice work on the project! :)
Wow nice! I feel like the hitbox is just a *bit* too large, but aside from that I had a blast playing. Great job making a unique and fun game! :)
Neat concept! It's always tough to judge just how much we can get done in the short timespan of the jam, but the most important part is learning something new every submission. I look forward to seeing what you come up with next time :)
Very neat. I had a bit of performance trouble in the web version, the worst one was a crash every time I tried to move multiple units to the space ship at once. That aside you all had a very unique idea and pulled it off. Congrats! :)
Very interesting puzzle game! The art style reminds me a lot of Madoka Magica for some reason- and that's a good thing. :)
Nice job on your game, the clone mechanic is neat!
Haha nice. I liked the art style, and the humor was good too! One thing I would suggest is throwing an Outline and Shadow component on your text, it got a little bit difficult to read at times. I also had some issues with some of the planets not showing up. Aside from that, it was a fun take on the theme. :)
Here's my entry if you wouldn't mind giving some feedback: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/dr-m-littles-planet-mass-overdrive
Ahaha nice. Fun take on the 'snake' style of game, and the art style was very charming!
There were a few collision issues where I *know* I didn't run into that building (just scraped by it :p).
Either way, you made an enjoyable game- very good for a first submission. Congrats! :)
Neat take on the theme!
I really enjoyed how challenging it was at times (though admittedly I'm not too great at puzzle games), and the only thing I would really suggest is the ability to wait a turn.
The music is nice and catchy, and the art style is charming. Great job. :)
Ahahaha nice. Very strange concept, but you managed to pull it off! I liked the music, though the controls were a bit tough to get used to. Great job! :)
Woah, I love this. Like, a lot.
I think this game has some significant potential to be something great. Moving around at breakneck speeds trying to dodge projectiles and enemies alike is so much fun.
Please continue work on this, I could see a polished version with some more features making it on the Steam store.
EDIT: I would also love to see a hardcore mode where running into your own bullets kills you.
Cool! Nice music (and actual audio sliders c:), and very ambitious for the time allotted. As @simonhutchinson mentioned, it would be nice to be able to speed up time. Aside from that, it's good! Nice work :)
I can't decide what I like most about this submission:
- The fantastic art style
- The amazing music
- The incredibly responsive controls.
You absolutely nailed this entry. Fantastic work.
Bwahaha nice. Short and sweet.
Music was great, humor was fantastic, controls were responsive, and art style is charming. Excellent job!
Cool concept, I would like to see this expanded further!
Nice! I was thinking of skyroads when I saw the screenshots and then you mentioned it. Very cool that you managed to make a few different planets instead of just one! Maybe next time a minimap would help so I don't have to refer to the map on here? :p
Either way, excellent work for only 48 hours!
Oh my goodness, I absolutely love this one. The game feel is absolutely on point, and the only thing I could even think to suggest is implementing some controller rumble!
The controls are so responsive and fluid, the art style is very charming, the audio is great.
I think this entry is going to be one I keep coming back to even after the jam! :)
(high score was 13400 :p)
Oh noooo! I'm not very good at this, RIP puppers... :P
Great concept and excellent execution!
Woaaaah, trippy.
Very unique execution of the theme. I'm having trouble just wrapping my brain around things ;P
Well done! :)
Oh my goodness, this is awesome! I don't think I'm smart enough to play this one very well, but I have to say I loved your audio design and how much care and effort clearly went into the game. Excellent work! :D
Nice! This was a really ambitious concept and you all pulled it off fantastically! The sound effects are my favorite part.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh.....
Interesting take on the theme- I wish there was a score system though :(
Also the window was way too big, so hopefully there weren't any UI elements on the bottom!
Aside from that, I like the artwork- great job! :)
Very cool! The audio design was very strong, made the game quite engaging. Great work :)
Amazing.
@mr-bojangles Thanks! They did such a good job on the voices.
@lemur Thank you Lemur! Just about to check your game out now :)
@nate-prince I appreciate the bug report, glad to hear you checked out both endings!
Thanks @sahoskins1 , really glad to know that the Linux version works! I would have loved to put some more time in optimizing it for all types of rigs... oh well- next time :)
Thanks for playing!
Thanks @squishywizard44 , I really appreciate the feedback. The fade-to-black + quit was intended, although it was done because we were in the final few minutes and realized nothing happened when you beat the game. I threw in a quit-to-desktop as a last minute thing. If I could go back, I would absolutely return to menu instead, but it didn't pop into my head at the time.
I appreciate the bug report, we didn't have as much time to bugtest as I would have liked and that one slipped through.
Regarding the writing, I absolutely get where you're coming from. The protagonist was meant to be a cheeky poke at the duke-nukem type of character (overly """badass""" to the point of being ridiculous), whilst the antagonist is more of a wacky, saturday morning cartoon villain. I definitely agree that the villain was the stronger character, I had a lot of fun writing his lines :)
But I do appreciate the input and will absolutely take it to heart for our next game! Thank you so much for taking the time to write out a lengthy comment, it means a lot.
@torculus Appreciate it :)
@hernandack having that input from a musician means a lot to me! Every one of us had so much fun working on the game, and put little pieces of ourselves into everything. I worked hard on the audio that we could get in, but it ended up being a bit too time consuming to do everything I wanted to. The next game will have a stronger set of audio :D
Thanks again for the reviews, both of you!
Cute artwork with a fun little story. Nice work :)
VERY cool. I think this is one of my favorite games I've played so far here. Simple concept executed very well. It felt very rewarding to begin to understand the mechanics and craft my deck (I died to the first enemy my first playthrough haha). Ended up on floor 21 with 40-ish health! Great work, would love to see something like this on mobile. :)
Wonderful job on that game feel. Fits the theme well. Good job!
Wow, simple concept but powerful. A bit sad. Good work.
My favorite game so far. Absolutely hilarious premise, and fun gameplay that's very easy to pick up. Would be fun to try this with a controller. Nice work :)
Awesome game! I really had a great time playing this. I just wish there was more (or maybe an endless mode)- just when I was getting super powerful it ended :(
But anyways, great job folks! Your game feels great to play and has nice graphics / audio. :)
EDIT: Also wanted to mention that I really liked the take on the theme.
Fun little idea. Chat is a fun touch and the fact that you got the game networked in 48hrs is impressive. Good job!
This is fantastic! Truely unsettling and the audio + graphics are A+
Love tower defense game! Great take. My antivirus flagged it at first.
Very funny, but I had no idea what was happening.
Hilarious concept. Music and premise made the game very stressful- good job :)
Beautiful little experience. The minimalist artwork works very well, and it was fun to click around to see what was interactable!
Little bit confusing at first, but after I figured it out I had a great time. Fun twist on the given theme.
Very interesting. Postprocessing looks nice, although the game didn't restart by itself when I died. Good idea.
Cool concept! Sounds were a little too loud. I was doing really well and then accidentally fell off the world hehe
Nice job!
Very interesting idea with cute artwork. Impressive for a 48hr game!
Funny premise- great little game for a 48hr game jam!
Nice game. Spent a lot more time playing than I expected to- surprisingly addictive. I think if you added a bit of music and some more powerups you could publish this game on mobile and it would do well!
How did you go about making the backgrounds? They looked sweet.
Sweet game! Graphics were great, as was the music. Completed 6 lists before I finally died! Great job. :)
Funny idea. The camera made me a little dizzy. Good job :)
Fun idea, great job!
Loved this game. Beautiful artwork, impressive sound, and a fun little story. Looking forward to seeing more from you and your team :)
Love plants-v-zombies type games, this was an good one (especially for 48 hrs)! Having your health also be what you spend on towers is really interesting. I like it a lot, would be cool to see this with even more towers!
Fascinating. Definitely one of the most polished games I've played so far. Nice job and great entry!
Feels very good! Wish I could dash a little bit more frequently. Art is great. Good job :)
Love the art so much, and the music! Incredible. Got some serious Touhou vibes from the soundtrack. Great work!
Download doesn't seem to work on windows! Would love to check this out later.
Absolutely beautiful game. Can't believe this art was done in 48 hours. Great work.
@caorjavier Even more impressive! Looking forward to future games by you :)
Absolutely beautiful game. Loved the audio. The 2 character mechanic is REALLY cool, but it made me feel old because I couldn't steer the 2 characters at the same time very well haha :)
Good job!
Very cool party game. I think you should consider developing this beyond Ludum Dare!
Great game! I really liked the artwork (so much in such a short amount of time!) and felt like the game length was just right.
But I do feel bad for the poor sailor that gave up his galleon for a rowboat!
Good job :)
Very fun idea for a game. Ran into a couple other players online and had a blast!
Hey! Tried playing the downloadable version, but I get the following error:
ldjam error.PNG
I have the exe and ldjam45-junkracerxl.pck in the same folder but it can't locate it for some reason.
Web version worked though! The art was nice and I liked the audio, though it was a little bit too loud. I didn't have any friends to play with so I had fun trying to pull off the biggest jump possible!
Been seeing a lot of games using Gogot now, going to consider checking it out. Good job to both of you!
Ayyyyy @coleslaughter! Glad to see you again! Thanks for playing the game- so happy that you enjoyed it :)
@jakemchugh1 Yeah I wish I had thought to put an invisible floor there because it sounds like that's an issue multiple people had- but I'm glad that despite the error you had a good time!
@joseph-yannessa Thank you for the feedback! That "WTF" vibe was *exactly* what we were going for :D
@magus77 Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, we had a great time writing and recording the voicelines.
@wxzuir I appreciate the kind words. I really wanted to utilize cinemachine for this project, but I didn't feel like I knew enough about it to do what we wanted to in such a short amount of time. That being said as soon as LD wrapped I started diving into CM tutorials! Knowing back then what I already do now would have saved us precious hours! :)
@tommyflower Thank you! Everyone involved was very happy with how this turned out. Ryan, Tony, and Divic did a wonderful job writing the script, and the moment Tony pitched the ending we decided that this had to be the game we worked on for Ludum Dare 45.
@sprotex I really appreciate the honest feedback! The game was definitely our most ambitious project and you were correct to intuit that! Every Ludum Dare we try to push ourselves to our limit, and with this game there were definitely a number of things I would have liked to include that would have addressed some of your concerns. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy our entry, but thank you for playing it and giving your sincere thoughts- it means a lot to all of us, and will help everyone improve for next time :)
Really fun game! I fell behind at one point and instead of trying to catch up I started driving the course backwards to cause as many crashes as possible! :D Good job.
Loved this, very funny! The art style was great and the cheerleader camp was a hilarious distraction. This was a really nice take on the theme- great job to you and your team! :D
This was a genuinely surreal experience. Loved every moment of it. Great work. I could hear the antagonist VO holding back laughter at times!
Great job!
Loved the art. I didn't seem to have a hitbox though (on firefox) as the arrows passed right through me! Very cool concept.
Very interesting game! A text based game is only as good as its writing, and your writing was fantastic! I got sucked into the game and had an enjoyable time. Good work! :)
Very cool game. I like all of the variety in the creepy-crawlies. I like that even as I grew more powerful there were foes that still posed a challenge. Great work!
Such a charming art style. The text popups for each item made me chuckle. Good job.
Love the artwork. Reminds me a lot of a gameboy game. Felt very good to control overall.
Nice! I loved everything about this game. It really felt like all of you were big fans of [a certain game everyone else is also mentioning] and it shows! The humor was on point and even though the graphics were simple, they were incredibly effective. My only complaint is that the mouses sensitivity was too high! Great job to everyone involved!
My favorite part was when you found the little robots jammin' out on the dance floor :)
Love the fact that it's a webgl build. Makes things very easy to get running!
The audio was simple but effective, and the graphics were charming. Fun and a bit challenging too! Good job to you and your team :)
Very cool. The music was great and even though the game was simple, I had a good time exploring the world. Good job to the both of you :)
Surprisingly complex game for such a short amount of time! Mechanics were great, as was the audio. Excellent job :)
This is a really interesting game! Took some time to figure out, but pretty entertaining watching the little creatures run around the game world and fight each other!
Cool! Nice, charming game with a bit of challenge. I liked that it wasn't too difficult and was able to be completed in a couple of minutes- perfect for a LD Jam! Good job! Loved the dialogue :)
I love everything about this game. The audio is superb and the game is very relaxing. Wish I had a bit more energy but loved playing! Definitely my favorite game so far.
Nice! Got the happy ending :) The camera movements were very smooth. Did you use cinemachine?
This game was very compelling. I found myself sticking around playing for a long while! The ability to upgrade your weapon and see the changes reflected visually was a great touch. I know the struggle of having a great idea and then having to reduce the scope as the jam goes on, but I think you ended up with a great product! Good job :D
Cool game! Love the art and soundwork. Max speed + max fire rate is a blast :) Nice job!
Very cool! Absolutely love the claymation art you went with.
Fun little game. Was expecting the guards to be called if I was caught but it let me move on to the next unsuspecting commoner >:)
Great job all around.
Really cool idea! Tricking the enemies into environmental hazards is a really neat mechanic. Nice work :)
Loved everything about this game. The art was charming, the story was funny, and the music had some real bangers \m/
Short and sweet. Good job everyone!
Mesmerizing game with wonderful audio. I really liked the reflection effects. I also really enjoyed how you made the background for your website have the particles from the game! Very immersive :)
Great! The camera motion was fantastic, and I really appreciate the audio work you did on this game. It really helped set the scene. The amount of art is genuinely impressive given how little time there was to work on the game!
Unfortunately my game crashed after I turned on the faucet, but I really appreciated what you had going on. Great job! :D
Super cute game! The pixel art was adorable, the sounds were great- and I loved the music! I was also really impressed by the paralax scrolling effect on the background. It's a wonderful little effect that makes your game feel so much more polished.
Good job to everyone involved! :D
This is my favorite game by far. The artwork was adorable (and impressive for such a short amount of time), and the audio was sooooooo cozy. It felt great to control. I will definitely be following the games that this team puts out in the future. Excellent work! :)
Wow! I liked this a lot. The story was great, and I loved the aesthetic. Great work to you and your team!
Very interesting game! It's easy to understand, but surprisingly challenging. The audio is great as well! Good job :)
Very cool take on the theme! It took a bit to get the hang of the controls, but I really appreciate that you started the player in a tutorial room so they could figure everything out. I think a 1v1 multiplayer game with the jumping & kicking as a primary mechanic would be a real winner. Great job on your entry!!
Hilarious! The alien is really cute, and the rest of the artwork is charming too. Good job! The game lives up to its name because every room I entered had me going "That's crazy...what?"
Love this! The audio and artwork are perfect. Warhammer reference with the Unclean One????
Definitely one of my favorite games so far. Managed to beat the game on wave 5 by not spending any favor (very difficult!) and then went back and played through buying the upgrades. Good job!
What does the audio say when played in reverse????
Awesome! I love the aesthetic, and the take on the theme is refreshingly hilarious. Great game feel. Good job!
I love this game! The "Papers Please" aesthetic is super appealing, and you both did a wonderful job on the game. Excellent job!
Cool to see a Godot game! I've only worked in Unity, but Godot seems like a really slick engine. I had load issues on web like you mentioned, but once I downloaded the windows version it worked perfectly!
You've come up with a really fun interpretation of the theme, and I had a lot of fun seeing how many patterns I could fit onto one pad. I wound up wanting more time per level to try and min-max my layout! Good job :)
Great game! It said I got the best ending :)
It was a very clever decision to make the game take place in the evening so that the characters could all be silhouettes. Your pixel art is gorgeous. I liked the backstory you came up with, makes me want to play more stuff in this world! Good job on your entry.
@supergamersgames I take that as a huge compliment! It was always intended to be KB+M, but we set out to make a game filled with chaos and somewhat complicated to control to add onto that! We looked to surgeon simulator a bit for inspiration there. But since we've heard some feedback about a VR game we're considering making a VR port! Thank you for playing and providing your feedback!
@tomeks : Thank you, @thegrandpa did a wonderful job with the 3d models.
@blackopsben : Oh man, @divic knocked it out of the park with the voice lines. Everything in here was more or less improv'd.
@binroot : Thank you so much for the kind words!
@ioan-pop : Glad you enjoyed, we had a blast working on this entry and we're glad it made you smile!
@commanderstitch I'll look into that!
@commanderstitch Should be fixed! Thanks for letting me know.
Hi @dbreak, thank you for the feedback. Which platform are you playing on, and when did it crash? Depending on your computer, the game may take some time to load after pushing "play". Clicking play a few times may cause some funkyness. Thank you for trying to play and sorry you ran into this issue!
Thanks for the heads up @shaolin-dave, I don't have a way to test mac apps ~~so I'll try another build tomorrow~~. **Maybe it's fixed? Try the new download link!**
Thank you @shaolin-dave, I'll see what I can do about that! I wasn't sure if our game would be able to run on web but I'll upload a build today and see. I really appreciate you coming back and giving it another try.
@shaolin-dave A web build is available! As far as I can tell it runs fine, though the mouse sensitivity is much higher on the web build than it is in the standalone build. Thank you for the recommendation! We hope you enjoy the game, and we'll be sure to upload web builds of our games from here on out! :)
@shaolin-dave Give that a try
Thanks for the kind words @coleslaughter! Glad to hear you enjoyed the game! We were really happy with how the physics worked out for the car interior. Of course, the pizza shop was the one building I forgot to check collision on hahaha. Thanks for reviewing, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you and your team cook up next jam. :)
@shaolin-dave Glad to hear! What was the fix? I'll make sure to implement it next time.
Thanks a bunch @shaolin-dave, I might be able to get access to a mac for the next jam so I'll be sure to do research!
@bongooo Awesome! If you do I'll make sure to RT it!
Thanks for the honest review @g-a-gamestudio! We've been in talks about what we want to do with this project going forward, and input like yours is unbelievably valuable. Thank you for playing our game and taking the time to give us your thoughts :)
Haha great entry!! Loved the art style, but the font was kind of hard to read :)
One of my favorite games so far. Highly relaxing, and a setting I haven't seen yet! I'm glad you added a timer-less mode. I can see myself coming back to this again after the jam!
Absolutely gorgeous game. Very relaxing with wonderful audio and a great message. Kind of reminds me something I'd see on armorgames. Good job y'all! Looking forward to seeing what your team comes up with next time :)
I really like this trend of people making their games playable on web! It makes it so much easier to try and review. Fun take on the theme! The controls feel a little bit rigid, but it's not a big deal! Good job on your entry.
Really cool game! I felt my OSU "target priority" reflexes kicking in after a while there. You did a great job with the audio, and I appreciate how the graphics sync up to the beat. I found that the game was pretty challenging but it was fun!
Love this. The art style is wonderful and the voice acting fits the graphics for the lich perfectly. You and your team made a wonderful clicker game :)
Enjoyed the graphics, but the gameplay was very challenging for me! Really loved the design of the main character. The mechanic of unlocking the camera was pretty cool too!
I like this a lot. The game feel is great and the powerups are very satisfying(the time freeze feels like a Stand power lol). Great work on your game. It gets pretty tough as it goes on!!!
Nice! I liked the tank controls, felt very accurate to the robot's aesthetic. The art style is simple but very effective, and the robot is cute. Good job on the entry :)
Nice game feel! I really like the sound effect you used for the thumping, hit all the right frequencies :) I agree with the previous commenter, more levels would be great! Good job.
Cool game! I always appreciate when a LD entry lets you play in browser. I definitely know the pains of scope creep, but what you ended up with is a great little entry. The pixel art is very charming. I had a bit of trouble dodging attacks, maybe next time that could be a bit more forgiving. Good job :)
Insanely creative! Loved the sounds. The changing perspective kind of confused me, but overall a very fun entry. I would have liked the required key to show up inside the thought bubble, but I figured it out eventually!
I love how chaotic this is! Very difficult but highly enjoyable. Charming artwork too, great work! :)
This it a very intriguing game. I'm not very good at it, but I kept finding myself compelled to give it another try! Nice work :)
Really liked this one! Started off simple enough, but you nailed the difficulty. By the end my base was destroyed and I was desperately clinging on for survival against the mega enemies! My only complaint is that I got really excited to spend my 3,000 points, but then I won the game after I spent them! A level to use your fully kitted out gun would have been cool.
Cool! Couldn't tell if there was a death counter anywhere but I think it would be a nice addition because I died a LOT haha.
This is a really cool way of making a unique tower defense game that fits the theme! I like the artwork, and it was cool to see the sprites full-sized on the instructions page (I think the last sprite is the best one!) Great work on your entry :)
Your sound design and artwork is very cute! The run is my favorite. I had trouble getting stuck on some of the cloud edges, but normally a second try got over it. Fun little game :)
Good graphics! Really like the music as well. For some reason I couldn't give the character food despite having some in my inventory.
Simple idea but well executed. Wish there were some sounds! Good job :)
Pretty fun! I liked the narrator on the top, was pretty funny. Wished the enemies spawned faster as you went on, but as-is it's an enjoyable little game!
Super cute! Reminds me of a GBA game. Good sounds too!
Hello! I couldn't find the link to download the game on the itch page.
I love this. It reminds me of the games I'd spend hours playing on flash sites as a kid. The colors flashing every 1/2 second is a great touch and adds to the frantic feeling of the game. The only thing I could possibly suggest is some high-bpm background music to up the intensity even more! A simple, but compelling game. Wonderful job!
Great concept! The doctor being on a skateboard made me smile. Good job :)
I think this game is the perfect example of "simple, yet compelling". I spent way more time playing than I initially expected. Fun simple premise with a hilarious secret! It was very entertaining to watch all of the mini-me's running around.
You did a great job at making the game's graphics very unsettling. The found footage effect over the screen is fantastic, and even though the graphics were simple I found myself frantically looking around for the next enemy. The only thing that I think would elevate the mood further would be some background ambience! Great work on the game :)
Love seeing so many WebGL builds of people's games! This is a really cool idea. The banner system kind of reminded me of Tooth and Tail in a way. I think the player moves a little slow, but if you sped them up a bit, this could be a really fun online web game! I kept thinking of all the .io games out there, and this could definitely be one of them. Good job on your entry, very creative :)
Very tough but I enjoyed the art style. Could use some background music to elevate things to an entirely new level!
Easy to play, but challenging to master! I found myself playing this for a lot longer than many of the LD entries. The arrows showing you the direction to go was a good touch, and I liked the music you decided to use. This game reminds me of the sorts of games I used to play as a kid. Excellent job :)
Fun take on a classic game! The physics are very smooth and I liked the background music. The ability to play in web is also a big +1 from me. Well done!
Nice! I wasn't very good at this but it's a fun concept. I agree with an above poster, where it was tough to figure out how to shoot. Good job!
Very charming artwork. Good entry!
Nice work. Simple gameplay loop but surprisingly compelling. Great idea for your ludum dare entry!
Nice game! It was a little loud, but that's not a problem. The player feels really good to control. Great entry.
I really liked this one! Thought it was going to be a pretty simple game, but you mixed it up by adding a second plant! Having a third or fourth would have been even better, but as is I think you've made a really cool game! I liked the pixel art a lot as well, you did a good job with that.
The car controls really well! Good job on that. Liked the sounds also.
Haha amazing take on the theme! Not entirely sure what the voice was saying, but it sure was satisfying to smash all of the people! Good job on the sprites.
Nice! Made it 160s. Simple but fun.
This is an insanely deep game for the amount of time to make the game. You did a great job!
WOW! This is so creative! Took a second to figure out what I was supposed to do- but once I got a hold on it I couldn't put the game down! There was a lot of fun strategizing around when to descend deeper, and when to branch out from my main path to grab the gems and bombs! Your visual and audio direction is great. I also love how the game yells at you to go faster haha!
The only thing I could think that might improve it, would be to see the next two pieces rather than just the next one. That way I can plan my moves out even further in advance! Good Job!! :v:
OMG MY BIRD GOT SO BIG. It becomes a little hard to control after I grab the big pink fish, but I still have a lot of fun playing with the momentum and trying to aim my dives. No clue how real birds manage to do this XD
Very unique idea. Good job!! :v:
Hi everyone, thank you for the feedback! Every piece of feedback pushes us to do better next entry! Due to popular demand I pushed an update that adds some hitmarkers to the gun. Windows build is live, and Mac build should be updated shortly. Thanks again to everyone who played and rated!
:v:
Thank you for the feedback @kevin-s ! Yep, our teammate @divic did all of character voices (minus the final boss) and sound design. He does great work on all of our entries! Everything in here except for a few small SFX were created during the jam! Thanks again for the review :D
Wow! Very creative! The voxel digging was very impressive and I liked the premise- great job :D
Cool game! I loved the art style, and I think next time some sound effects would really take the game to the next level. The fog of war was really impressive, and even though the game started off easy it got really challenging by the end! Excellent entry! :v:
I love this! Reminds me a lot of the games I used to play on Newgrounds as a kid! The art style is very charming, and I chuckled when the character did a slow motion flip over the rock. Great job! :v:
WOW! This is really impressive for the time allotted! The AI is a decent challenge and it's a lot of fun to watch the ants stream into the enemy base! The ants exploding into blood clouds when dead was a great touch! I thought I had beaten the game when I killed the first queen, only to pan down to see an entire enemy ant kingdom had sprung up while I was struggling against my neighbors! Great job on the game!! :v:
Wow! The artstyle is super charming, and reminds me of some games I played when I was just getting into PC gaming- lots of nostalgia! The game was just the right length and didn't wear out its welcome. Great job!!
Wow! Beautiful game! You were right, that music was perfect to play alongside the game. I loved how you played as a shark piloting a submarine- wonder what the backstory to that character is XD
The fish crowds were seriously impressive and I have no idea how you made it work in such a short amount of time. Wonderful environment design- good job!! :v:
Hah! I loved the writing for this game- lots of great humor. I love the snarky, dystopian agri-company and I think the game had a good message about preserving the environment! I definitely hope this future doesn't come to pass, because that free meal looked..... :disappointed_relieved:
I liked that you programmed in different endings based on whether you ate the food or not! Good job on the entry! :v:
Ahahaha what a fun idea for a game! I wasn't very good at it, but I kept retrying to get a little further than the last time! Good job on the entry :D
Wow! Impressive for a game jam! The cutscenes were great, and it's always really cool to see an entry using Godot. I liked the art style and even though the sounds were basic they added a lot to the experience! I totally feel the over-scoping problem. Never enough time to do everything you want to!
Great work on the game! :v:
WOW! I think this might be the most creative take on the theme I've seen yet! The ship controls were odd BUT once I got a handle on them it was actually really fun to control the sub! The music was super cozy and I found myself playing this game a lot longer than a lot of other entries. I was surprised to see physics on the objects in the sub. Great entry! :v:
A simple concept executed very well! I spent a lot of time seeing how far I could go! Great job!! :v:
The game lives up to its name!!! It was very challenging, but I enjoyed trying to avoid all of the sharks! The art was very charming. Good job both of you! :v:
Interesting take on the theme! I love resource gathering games so I had a blast with this one! The artwork is very charming. Good job!
Awesome- major Nuclear Throne vibes! The character is very fun to control, and I loved the music! Impressive for a 3-day jam game. Great work! :v:
Very well done! You've nailed the atmosphere, and there were a lot of small things that I was really impressed by. The dissolve effect on the wraiths was very cool, and I loved the magnetic effect that drew the ore chunks into the player when they broke off the rock- great QoL feature! The only thing that I would take a second look at is how the player has to stop to swing the pickaxe- I feel like it slows down the momentum a bit. But aside from that I loved the entry! Good work!! :v:
Awesome!! I love the idea- and procedurally generated music is crazy! Got some Friday Night Funkin vibes w/ the instruments XD
Good Job! :v:
Cool game! The premise is super creative, and totally fits the theme! I liked that there was a lot of challenge to it, but the arrows helped keep the game from feeling unfair! Awesome soundtrack too. I enjoyed the game!
Good Entry! :v:
LDWIN!.PNG
What a creative idea! I think the bloom may have been just a bit too high because sometimes my camera position made it very hard to see. Aside from that, I didn't run into any issues. Great job on the entry! :v:
Wow! What a creative idea. I love the premise, and the audio design is great! I found myself trying over and over to get deeper than the last time. I like that you can speed up and cut off your rival roots! Great job on the entry :D
Oh my god this might be one of my favorite games I've played in this jam! The writing is hilarious! The game looks really nice too- very cool to see an Unreal Engine game! I laughed the first time I died from fall damage and ragdolled. Excellent job on the game! :v:
Hahaha nice! Simple concept, but the twist of mixing up the controls at random really adds a lot of complexity! It was cool to see an Unreal Engine project. This could be a really interesting concept for a mobile game if you found a way to translate the randomized controls. Good job to both of you!! :v:
Haha! Great humor in this game! It's a simple concept but you executed it well. I loved the ending certification- I am now an official Paratuwuper! Good job!
I love this game! The graphics are really charming, and the premise is simple but engaging. Good job! :D
Nice! Once I got used to the teleport distance I had a lot of fun trying to complete the level as fast as I could! The main character's design is super cool. Good job :D
This might be my favorite entry so far! It's a really simple premise but super addicting. I think this idea has a lot of potential to be expanded into a full game! Great work :D
Hilarious idea! Definitely the most creative take on the theme I've seen so far. Good job :D
I LOVE THE ARTWORK! The game is fun, but I'm pretty bad at it hahaha... good job! :D
NICE! The game is really charming, and I love the idea of upgrades modifying your screen ;D
Absolutely adorable game! The premise is really interesting, and I love how cozy your art / music is. Charming writing too :D
Great! Very charming. Reminds me of a game I'd play on Nitrome or Miniclip. Good work!!
Simple idea but super compelling! Ended up spending way more time playing than I anticipated, trying to beat my past scores! Excellent job this was a really fun game :)
The art was cute and the story was hilarious! Short and sweet experience. Great work!
Fun game! Pretty difficult but I enjoyed the challenge! Great work, had to play a few times to try and get a good score :)
This is super cool, reminds me of Creeper World! Easy to learn but I like the layer of strategy you added with having to wait for more powerful attacks. Good job!
Very fun! I love the character design, and grapple hooks are an instant +1 letter grade haha. I'm not very good at the game, but I really like how the enemies get stronger as the game goes on- reminds me of Risk of Rain's enemy scaling! Fun game, good job :)
I love this! Very fun twist on the tower defense genre. Cute art and sounds. Good job!
This was a GREAT idea for a game! Definitely felt some Total War influence with the unit deployment. Fun idea and well executed- good job!
Cool game! I like the premise. It's pretty challenging but feels fair! Good work :)
Cool idea! I liked the maze-like aspect of trying to find all of the fuel cans. The art was cute! The one thing I struggled with was being able to jump over the enemies- I always just barely clipped them and lost HP. Aside from that it was fun!
I really liked this game! I don't think I was very good at it, but I played all the way to the end and had a great time doing it. Very pleasant game and well done. If I had to give a complaint, I had a hard time remembering when I was out of points, so I would spend a while wondering why my cards wouldn't work. A little sound effect or flashing UI element would have made it a tad easier. Aside from that, a really good entry :)
EDIT: I just saw that the art was AI generated, I never would have guessed and you did a great job with the prompts generating a bunch of cohesive assets!
Really cool game! I like the pixel art a lot, and you really nailed the atmosphere of the game. The ship took a bit of time to get used to controlling, but once I got the hang of it it was pretty fun. Good job on the entry!
Hi! Itch.io gives me an error when I try to download the game: *"You don't have permission to access "http://files.jam.host/uploads/$318521/Picking_Apples_1.3.zip" on this server."*
Your game doesn't load on FireFox for me, but chrome works! Also the web ver has a bit of lag on my machine, but it's playable. I like the idea of growing larger as you collect more things- reminds me of Katamari! Good job on the entry :)
Thank you @MinikinKay for your feedback! Glad to hear that you enjoyed your time with the game, and I'm sorry to hear you ran into that bug! Your complements on the sounds really mean a lot to us, we're all very happy with how they turned out given the time we had :)
