I really liked the level system so that you have to kill alot of enemies to get stronger over time. The different enemy types were shown in a very interesting way, evn though I would have liked some music in the background :3 Still it was a good game especially for a single person to do! If you would like to play our game, here's the link: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/plutiny
Pretty interesting that we got the same idea ^^ the eyes are funny how they follow the cursor. The gameplay was a bit too easy (I never died in my whole run) and since when is Pluto a grey planet? :D A pitty that you had no music or sfx but well it was fun, good job.
The interpretation of the theme was very interesting and the idea of the actual gameplay was cool, too. The problems were that it hasn't felt like a big challenge (I could stand still for most of the time and just had to wait for the enemies to spawn :/ ) and like some others said: The length of one level defenitely was too long so it became quiet boring after some time. The sounds were pretty bizarre and the graphics had some cool little details like the moving eyebrows or even the different facial expressions. Good work, especially for someone who has to do completely *everything* for the game instead of others like me which are working in a team! Because I'm not the main author for our published game and the hope that you would give our game some feedback, here's the link: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/plutiny
Really creative and comfortable gameplay! It was a lot of fun to play although it doesnt't have a long playtime to get through the game. Audio was great too, you put much effort into this for only 48 hours. Here is our game(I'm not the author of the game so..): https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/plutiny
Good game although I'm not that good in puzzle games ;D The controls were very simple and your idea fits to the topic, so good job. It's a pitty that you didn't have the time for the music but it's still better than not having a completed and fun game.
The momentum of the ant's movement was comfortable and the idea itself was very interesting although I got bored very fast and I kinda felt like there was no difficulty to this game. It was pretty funny to see big cities getting stomped in the ocean :D Here is our game(I'm not the one who published it directly, so you can't just click on my account): https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/plutiny
The background music was incredible and the gameplay was pretty smooth in my opinion, although I kind of broke the game so when I jumped off an edge of a lake or what it was, I was able to fly very high and fell down veeery slow :| even though it was very challenging and the world itself was very interesting to explore! It's a very good entry ^^ Because of the reason that you can't see our game by clicking on my profile, here it is: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/plutiny
It woud have made a bit more fun with a fitting background music but nevertheless it was quite fun and completely playable. It got a bit boring after some time :/
Just like the others I especially liked the little touch of the sounds and music which lets the player feel very comfortable.
The idea itself really reminded me of Rain World and I sadly have to say that I saw the idea of a shrinking playable area in too many games for now so thats the only critical downside that I had with your game ;)
It has alot of content even though, it's just one boss fight. The art style and gameplay makes me think of Titan Souls which is also an incredibly hard game. The boss was pretty fair and surprised me in every new phase. Still like some other ones I would have liked some music, but the sound effects were pretty good though. Good Job!
Btw thanks for the tip that I should do a "Just-exe Version" of my game :)
The last level made me feel like a real James Bond ;D The controls were good and the graphics were very simplistic. Would've liked some action music in the background. Also the highscore system was a good way to keep the player in-game
1:29 in free mode and I'm proud of it! The game is very simplistic and has a good game mechanic, it's completely fair and the stones are a real thorn in the eye. The free mode gave me the enthusiasm to play your game much more which is great! The missing things are already listed in your To-Do list so no need to mention them again. What is your record @geck0?
I especially like the ending of this one! It was alot of fun to play this puzzle game, I'm okay with the graphics (Although I really don't like the sprite of the mouse cursor) and the idea fits the theme well. Not extremely good like I have seen in other games but still not bad :smile: I wasn't bored even once which is very good, because most puzzle games in this LD lost my interest because there was no music that could set me in the mood to play it longer.
That was a really fun game! You had an incredibly big amount of choices in every scenario. Some of them were utterly stupid and over the top, whereas some other modules caused a shockingly familiar situation that seemed very realistic! With some background music for every Mission, it would have been much more comfortable but even though it was well done.
It's really cool that we nearly had the same idea! I like your game alot and find it rather amusing to play for many reasons. The artstyle and the gameplay is very clean and because of the similarities to our game, it was easy for me to stick to your instructions.
I like the music, it fits very well to the game. The gameplay feels too easy but because of the possibility to make your own big score, it kept me playing and I literally played it for 20 minutes until I reached 123 points. I could imagine it to be an Idle-Game where you can buy upgrades that spawn more color balls or widen up the hitbox of the mouse or something like that! Still I just can't understand your interpretation of the theme or if you didn't care about the theme at all (because that's allowed). Also the area itself and the graphics were (a bit too) simplistic, maybe you could have added some more colours that are mixtures of red-green or green-blue if you know what I mean.
To conclude it, I really enjoy playing your game and lik the music but I would have liked some better graphics and more difficulty to the gameplay. Also the interpretation of the theme was unclear.
I think your game has a lot of potential. The interpretation of the theme, the music and the idea of the game is good. I find the controls very awkward, I have to say because I never had such controls in another game. The graphics were simplistic but not bad which is good!
An sich finde ich die Interpretation des Themas sehr gut. Die Grafiken sind okay, nicht überragend aber auch nicht gerade schlecht(Die Mobs erinnern mich vom Aussehen sehr an das Spiel "Jazzpunk"). Ich fand das Gameplay jedoch sehr schnell etwas eintönig, man hätte vielleicht noch humorvolle kleine Funktionen hinzufügen können, dass der Spieler zum Beispiel noch Nahkampffunktionen mit herumliegenden Gegenständen hat oder sowas.
I liked the introduction and story-telling, even though I was not able to make myself comfortable for the actual gameplay because 1. your controls lack something to prevent the player from spamming only one attack and 2. the graphics of enemies and player don't seem to fit the astonishing background.
Because of that I have to criticize your game in terms of mood and graphics but still, the rest and especially the interpretation of the theme was really good!
This game is great! Because of this kind of "Oh that was my score. I have to beat that!" - feeling, it made me very addictive. I like your interpretation of the theme alot and the music was a good setup for the gameplay. It's the perfect game for people to learn typing with all 10 fingers plus watching the screen so I'd be honest and say that your game would be a good and funny educational game.
I was so into the game and tried so often to reach the end of the 2 minutes. I had to ragequit once when I died at 0:07 and even though I received a very cool and polite ending. The graphics felt a bit monotone after playing it for a while. You did a great job though!
The game really shows that you only had a short amount of time to work on it because there are only two levels and everything (Graphics, Level Design and Game mechanic) is done in a very simple way. Still, if your game wouldn't have had so less content then I had probably loved playing it. The music was perfect for tensing up the player but also for keeping him in a good mood.
Since I played the original Super Hexagon for over 30 hours, I absolutely love your game! It's more difficult because you are not allowed to touch the obstacles __at all__ and the shape shifting is pretty hard to handle. I'd say the music is a bit too soft, especially the beatthat is responsible for the "pulse-like" effect of the hexagon.
Your interpretation of the theme is very innovative and interesting! Although you have to explain your interpretation of the theme since the game itself couldn't. Great job :smile:
Heere :smile:
This perfectly fits the theme! You made this experience quite well since you don't have that much gameplay but a very clear message instead. Would have liked a simple soundtrack or something like thath though :smiley_cat:
The gameplay is extremely polished and contains really interesting types of enemies. The soundtrack is perfect, it's not pushy as in fast-paced games but it helps making the game feel more vigorous. The art style is simple and helpful. I like your interpretation of the theme! It's much more creative than "if you do this or buy this you lose some health" stuff which makes it more special. Good job!
This game was so great! I absolutely love the simplistic art style and the puzzle levels. It was really cool to recognize after one run that you can do all the levels with zero deaths! And the theme fits so perfectly! This will be one of the favourites imo!
I like the strategy in this game, the Interface and in-game animations were very clear for the player. I found it a bit funny how they spinned their guns before having weird seizures mixed with some balancing issues. It was a bit weird that there was only gameplay, without a menu or a clear GameOver screen. Very good entry though!
The game was pretty mediocre. It was a bit too complex for my little brain to handle all the stuff that is keeping my player alive but it was a cool idea. I think the coolest part is actually the main menu, it just looks great with the little guide you made there and that you can try the controls at the same time! My experience with your game was pretty neat, though I still don't know if the enemy melee attacks work, it kind of felt a bit unpolished
Incredible game! I loved the TD gameplay style, it was such fun with so much content! The graphics and music worked really well, with some neat details. Only thing that is a little disappointing is the connection to the theme. Soo many games just work with "if you use these attacks/upgrades etc. you will lose some hp/mana" as your game does. So I just have to say that is not creative nor disconnected, it's just average.
You made a lovely game! Keep it up!
This game fits the theme quite well! I love the graphics and the audio was perfect for getting into the whole story!
However I felt a bit uneasy, that there is no explanation concerning the painting of the backs of the people. I needed like over 10 minutes to understand how it has to be done. Also, the gameplay was a bit too slow-paced in my opinion. And I crashed the game at the shrine (I just spammed the left mouse button while being in the cutscene and it swapped my y coordinate for every click I performed).
Still okay entry though! And superb story!
Found another bug where you can't do anything at all after you died. I like the gameplay and the dimension-mechanic, it was fun. Though it would have been nice to have some music or at least a few sfx. The theme interpretation was mediocre, it's just the same as most of the people for this jam. The graphics are okay, I especially favor the font you used/made :smile:
Good work.
Perfect, I just have nothing negative to say. Everything is so polished and there is just so much content, I can't believe you did this in such a short time!
I liked the idea of the principe itself but the implementation was kind of disappointing because of the wonky controls :/ Although the music was okay and the main mechanic concerning the breeding with the stats was really well thought and could have a lot of potential! It stressed me out when I saw all these dangerous states of the sheep and struggled keeping them alive! :smile:
Interesting game and unusual gameplay. I could not completely understand the connection to the theme but at least it's a very creative idea. Sadly there is no music, so it got a little boring even though I finished it. Nice entry though!
The intro and outro scene was really well done. The gameplay lacked some difficulty though so that was kind of disappointing and slow-paced :/
Would have been more fun with a neat and motivating action-full soundtrack!
The gameplay and theme interpretation is unique and very interesting. Audio was a bit overkill but that was mentioned already. The graphics were made pretty poorly even though you have an understandable and sweet little HUD with good transitions between Intro, the Game and the GameOver screen. Your game is very creative but needs more time and effort to be fun, it has some potential.
Very innovative story with different areas and choices. I really like your interpretation of the theme! Since there is no real gameplay, I'd say that your game is a more moody experience than a funny experience. Everything of the visuals was great, I just thought that there is no need to do some **Knock Knock** particles flying around the door since you can already hear the noise plus the protagonist also says it. It just felt like "hey dumb-dumb, here's something you gotta dooo!" Anyways really great game!
The game's a bit short I guess and the gameplay is a bit rough too. At least there are some actual sounds so I still had to have some fun for the few rooms that were there. Sad that you didn't have enough time to implement the shop :/
Oh and maybe try to link an extra download just for exe because installer can be quite annoying.
123 Gold and 50s. I take that :smile: Really well done. I love the gameplay and all the small but important details like that you only lose coins when you are upside-down or bump into walls. It just makes sense but it's very cool and pressuring that you implemented it! I had a lot of fun, really nice work :ok_hand:
The gameplay is really funny! I literally played this now for more than half an hour and I will definetely try to kill that darn boss. The sfx are great, though I would have hoped for some action music in the background :/ This was really well done and felt very polished with little details like the zoom-in effect at the beginning of the game.
Lovely stategic game! The gameplay was really fun and the difficulty was high, but not too high in my opinion. I had to laugh about the suicidal jokes of the members from the corporation :skull_crossbones:
I also foun a bug where I couldn't do anything at all after starting a new game. Perhaps because I spammed the LMB like an idiot... who knows :shrug:
I love it! The audio is my absolute favourite of the games I played for now, the art is simple and crunchy and the gameplay is so polished! Some puzzles could have been a bit more difficult but I guess you didn't have the time to do so :smile:
I thnik it's incredible that you made a rhythm game in only 3 days! Amazing work and difficult but cool gameplay! I like the music, it fits really well with a top-down shooter in my opinion.
Link doesn't work. Perhaps your repository is set on private?
Took me a while to get a hand of some strategy (I literally played it for 50 minutes) and it was quite fun to play! First of all I did not know how to restart but at least you mentioned it in your description :) The game itself was very simplistic, though it was hard to learn how I should use this incredible jump height and the rage mode! Sadly it wasn't randomized so I just had to remember at which spots there were the most enemies. I liked this one :smiley:
I actually got the Congratulations screen. And welcome back @geckoo1337 long time no see at LD :smile: Really great game as always even though I already know that you are into these kind of puzzle games :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I like the music and the little lines of text that accompany the player on each level.
Good entry!
@kassjak If you have problems with the resolution, try pressing "+" and "-" on your numpad when the game Starts. This will change the size of the game window. Also by pressing F2 the window will be centered, allowing you to move the window around. I will mention this in our description ASAP. Thanks for your response!
Edit: Nevermind @kassjak I just forgot to re-implement one important line of code before publishing so I reuploaded a new version fixing this weird AND game-breaking bug (I tried to fullscreen and my whole PC crashed.. whoops) It should work for every resolution now without breaking your pc!
What a fun game to play :smile: I played it for 15 minutes and still couldn't get enough. You created a chill and ambient atmosphere because of the gameplay and the music. The gameplay itself is pretty simple but after reading the manual and playing for around 2 minutes you get in a little stress situation because you put too much water on the cactus or forgot to water another plant and so they begin to shink by an enormous amount! These moments kept me on playing because I wanted to let all the plants grow big and show their strong green colour.
The only downside I can think of is that the menu could be a bit better in terms of visualization and input feedback. For one person to do this in a jam, I think that this is a good entry. Well done! :hugging:
Really good game! I was able to get to the 3rd person and walk like 5 meters until stupid Jeff dropped the egg. Unforgiving gameplay with alot of fun and cool mechanics! Some background music would have been nice but that's all for the negative side
Keep it up!
In most cases I'm not a fan of turn-based games but this one has it! I love the music, the art style is great and the gameplay itself with the cards and the enemies is wonderful! The only downside I can think of is that the interpretation of the LD theme isn't that big of a deal. Really great game you deserve more rates!
That was very funny experience. Tbh what I loved most was the staring contest right at the beginning - I just wasn't prepared to do something like this. I am truly astonished that you did this in 9 hours, you have my respect. What a wonderful entry!
I like this little piano piece you made for this game :smile: A very cool and educational game, it has an interesting interpretation of the theme "keep it alive" - much more interesting than all the fires you gotta keep alive in this LD. In my opinion it was a bit too easy maybe it would have needed one or two more levels to be a real challenge! Either way, good job :smiley:
LDHighscore.PNG
Yeaaah my highscore! I got all upgrades in every room done and tons of people sitting in every room! This was so much fun to play so thank you for this game! There seems to be no downside for this entry, it feels really polished and balanced, after 1 run I learned the mechanics and what is important for surviving. The music and sfx was good, the UI blended in perfectly with the sci-fi design.
Good job! :smile: Best regards: hayfeverhanc from the twitch stream ;)
Overall great game! Sadly I couldn't make it to the end but I tried several times. I like the gameplay (even though the echolocator felt a bit buggy here and there) and the sound track. It really felt horrifying sometimes because of the sound and the environment, so good job on that one! The only thing I found a bit boring was the death scene itself where you just see some persons image. Aside from that, good entry!
I gotta agree with @peringo who beat me in race. I neede 24 minutes while he was finished in like 5minutes (oh man). I loved the build-up between the levels, how you introduced new mechanics towards the end of the game and combined them in such an unimaginable way - I had pure joy while playing!
What a cursed death sound lmao. I beat both levels and liked the physics of the game . even though it felt a bit unpolished when colliding with a wall. The graphics aren't bad, pretty medioce if I would say so. And it was a lot of fun to play! I liked playing it, good entry!
Nice game! It seems really hard to complete the 100% because I played for several minutes and only got around 3 percent. The music was great and the idea itself has a nice touch. I mean - who wouldn't like to make a puzzle?
Really cool game and fun to play! My highscore was 240 so that's good for me. The difficulty scaling felt really polished and the game mechanics were simple und fun to play with. It was a bit hard to predict an arrow on the edge of the playground - especially when fish was lying in a corner and I wanted to grab it but died instead.
Still good entry with nice, funny music playing in the background!
Very cool game! It was so much fun that I really tried to get a high score on this one but the highest I could get was only 2:46 minutes. The ending with the extinguished fire was nice and a little scary for a moment but I think it would have been much better with music :) The AI was pretty unpredictable and fair, the controls felt good enough. You sure did a game to the topic but it looks like alot of people use this interpretation of "Keeping it alive" so it isn't that unique.
Well done and good jam time!
Well my highscore is 375 so that's pretty good, huh. The music was catchy and I will always be a fan of highscore games. The gameplay seems a bit too easy and I don't think that you would find blue blocks rolling down the street but I assume that you had no time to do any sprites for these obstacles :shrug:
Good entry though, I had quite some fun!
Great game with good sfx and and idea. The graphics were minimalistic and had a nice touch, and the permanent sound of water being around you felt kind of terrifying after some time even though it felt the complete opposite at the beginning of the game so that turned out pretty well - I believe this was done intentionally :slight_smile: The controls felt a bit weird but I got used to it after the first two levels.
Good entry :smile:
I loved the soundtrack and the overall idea of keeping the mouse cursor alive. Although the controls felt a bit wonky and it was really frustrating to restart from Stage 1 because of one little mistake in Stage 5 or 6. You could call this a hard game, not bad!
Nice game! Of course I went for the bad ending and killed that milk man. I mean he just deserved it after all the bs he has done to me in the last 4 corridors! The music was nice but got a little annoying after some time so I wouldn't mind to have a mute button in this game :shrug: The gameplay idea itself was very creative and fun. The little storytelling plus the decision at the end of the game gave the wohle thing a nice touch!
Very good!
Bug.PNG
After spamming A and D at the beginning of the game, I was able to fall off the cheese grater and get an infinity highscore, hehe.
Aside from this bug, the idea of the game is great and I love the music and sfx! Sometimes it seems like the player rejects my keyboard inputs and so I died because of wonky controls which is pretty sad. My "real" highscore is 4690 so I think that's pretty good :smiley:
Overall great game!
I think that this game is pretty complex and has a cool idea in mind. It is stressfull in terms of gameplay and completely chill because of the nice track playing in the background. The controls felt a bit wonky but it's no big deal afterall. The real problem for me was to find my mouse cursor when i wanted to skip to the next day because the cursor color completely blends in with the background!
Nontheless, I liked the game and I am deeply impressed of the complexity of the gameplay.
Same as @christianaufiero I start the game and get a lose screen. You should better fix that I guess.
Such a great game, it was so much fun to play. I prefered the ballsy route to just show myself, kill an enemy, swap instantly and fill myself up with the blood of the corpses and repeating this process again. And I would say this was the most risky way but also the most fun way to play this game. I loved the mechanics, I guess you could have made some better visualization and effects here and there. Even though, I love the map design (human body) and the connection to the theme.
Great entry :smile:
Really cool game with stunning art style. The lack of audio kept me from getting a real feeling of the game. The gameplay itself felt unique so far in this LD and I liked it! You can make a nice story out of an experienced scavnger teaching his underling to get all loot and become stronger.
Good job :smile:
Nice game! I especially love the storytelling and art style, the gameplay was fun, too. The controls were simple but even though it turned out to be a very stressful game.
Sadly I would have hoped that my decisions had more influence on the story. To me it felt like there was no actual influence.
The controls were okay and I like your sfx. The AI was a bit too simple so I had no problem with surviving - I dind't even have to use my special ninja reflexes. The game is easy but it has potential to grow.
A bit buggy but still fun to play! I like the sfx and tha game mechanics and controls were neat!
@digitalcrest @duke Thanks for the review! You will be able to meet the boss after completing around 10 stages, so dying is not necessary for fighting the boss :smile:
@guitarbro thanks for the kind review! It worries me a bit that you coudln't hear any music, which version have you played? I'll take a look into it.
Nice mini games but the 3 button puzzle felt a bit random. I haven't found any clues on this one. The peeping through the gunhole was hilarious!
The controls felt a bit wonky and even though I instantly skipped from stage to stage without following orders, it said "You followed **all** orders from the company" which confused me a bit. The indication of impotant objects with red color was pretty neat!
Maaan I finally beat him and got pretty far in the endless mode with **14424 points** :grinning:
The boss fight was perfect in terms of difficulty. In my opinion the endless mode after the boss gives the player too many HP pickups causing the player to get away with alot of reckless plays but just my opinion though :smile:
What a unique game! I liked the "networking" puzzles and was excited about the story you threw into this game. I'm a bit irritated **how** the game is fitting the theme but that's a minor issue.
After some time it get's a bit tiring for the eyes because of the monotonous and dark colours. Some different colors that need to catch my eye might be great (just pulsating arrows or something like that would have given this game a nice touch)
Great entry!
I love this game and find it really pleasant to play - beeing a dance teacher myself :laughing: Nice job! The music was lit, there was a big variety of dance moves and the idea of finding the humanoid dancers was superb.
Only downside I could think of is: - There was no unique interpretation of the theme, instead you took the theme literally. - The white font had no good contrast with the light blue background which made it hard to read the instructions. But that was a minor issue in my opinion.
Nice entry!
This was crazy! I had alot of fun playing this game! Graphics were nice and clear, all the interactions felt really satisfying and cool. Definetely a favorite among this LD
I am looking forward to beat the stage where you are just a wiggly ball that has to maneuver across the plattforms with like **110% accuracy** :laughing: What a great game! Finally something challenging that isn't beaten in under 5 minutes. I love the idea
The inception idea was awesome. At first i thought it was bad game design to not know anything about the goal or the controls but after a while I think everyone understands it. Clearly best innovation and mood by far!
I love this game! The visual effects were superb, you had a variety on craftable items, your theme interpretation was interesting and lead to a cool world design! Overall one of the best games this LD. Hope you reach the 20 ratings mark!
Really innovative! The idea is so simple yet I couldn' think of a game mechanic like this one! Good job :grin:
This game was hella fun! I love the art style, the story plus alot of dialogue was neat and controls were simple. The music is sooo good
Really hard puzzle game in my opinion but it was awesome and I liked the environment and ideas of the puzzles. Keith is the best buddy on this world btw.
Great game! So glad that I had the time to play it before results. I love the music, the art style and the atmosphere! Overall, just great
There is nothing else to say as the other comments are showing. Nice entry!
I liked the story! It was mysterious and stunning at the end, also the loop mechanic has an explanation so no story holes to find there. Maybe the pacing was a bit too slow but I guess that was part of the idea to always go through the whole cutscenes like flying the first ship straight upwards? The Boss was stupidly simple but with a magnificent speed/difficulty increase
Saw it on stream and I have to say that it's very addicting! Good job!
What a great game, gecko! I really enjoy the highscore system and the neat music track with the "aaaaaah" at the end of it :smiley:
Still have to beat my buddy @peringo though :spy:
Edit: Yeaaah man I reached the 6000 mark :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
This game mechanic is stunning! I really likde the idea and gave it my best - even though it felt like my brain was melting haha. Has alot of speedrunning potential! Saldy I didn't really catch the connection to the theme, the graphics and music was neat :smile:
Really nice game! You actually had alot of content for such a short experience and everything felt really polished and comfortable. You even had a Boss (okay the laser attack felt a little bugged but I know that this kind of move is a pain in the a** for the programmers) and two enemies with additional variations. Even a shop with different upgrades! Good job :thumbsup:
I really like this game! The gameplay was pretty creative and felt comfortable, the difficulty scaling came in handy too. You even had a boss to fight. So much content for such a short experience! :smiley:
I really liked this game. The steady Try and Error strategy soon led to my victory :smile: The gameplay felt smooth and the graphics were simple and sweet. For a post-game version I would add a voice-over when reading the signs, just to fill up the mood some more and introduce a real narrator :) Great entry!
Nice, a melee fighter :smile: The Music and lighting gave the whole ambience a nice touch and after a first death the game principle was really easy to understand. Maybe some more sfx might have given the whole thing some more flavor :smiley:
For the developers: Since when are you learning to program games? I would be really interested because of the fact that you are only 17 years old!
Nice game! I had a blast playing it. The gameplay was fairly simple but as soon as I used up all the Melantonin and saw a bunch of enemies, I started to panick so hard! Ambience and sound was good too - would have been nice if Amy actually woke up or something to make it feel more clean :) Good job!
I really loved this game! What a great ambience, you even got powerups! I was so hyped after I got the charged shot like what else will be in this game? Also is 5360 the max score? I really explored the whole map twice and couldn't find any other treasures :thinking:
Even though really nice entry! Enemies could have been a little more difficult in my opinion but that's just the icing on the cake :wink:
Neat game overall. To me it was little to easy, even though I really liked the healing mechanic and the whole gameplay! It felt so good to dodge a bullet by digging down and then snipe these greenies afterwards. I think that a small blending effect would have made the poison particles look much more deadly and intimidating, though it's just a hunch.
Good job :smile:
1st Place let's gooo :sunglasses:
Hey @mopifish did you play the normal or the post-jam version? I tried replicating this bug but can't seem to find an error
Cool game! At first I was confused because of the Pachinko machine and the different numbers, but as the first crew member died I got it. Really creative idea!
Overall a pretty fun game. It seemed really polished and had a great difficulty to it. The music switch had a nice touch!
Really addictive game I gotta say. Nothing much to complain here at all. It has a nice difficulty scaling, alot of content andit's fun! Keep up the good work!
I'm here from the stream. Nice game! I think it would be more fitting to have a wave system for the spawning enemies instead of being stressed out for the whole time. Apart from that I loved it!
What a fantastic experience! I had lots of fun playing it and after my 4th attempt I successfully finished the game :sunglasses: Good Job!
Nice concept! At first I thought, easy game I just build a dam around my center and that's it. The soundtrack is goot and the communication of what's happening or what the user can do, is well done.
This game felt like real life. Amazing :money_mouth:
Your game totally fits the theme! I mean it's obvious but done in a great way. A highscore game where every bubble gives you a timeUp is neat and it feels really balanced imo.
Solid entry. At first I was confused, why you should throw this big spidey monster to the player right at the start. Then I realised that it doesn't one-shot but rather drain your sanity, which is an interesting mechanic indeed! The ambience change at specific amounts of sanity gave this whole experience a nice touch. Cool :sunglasses:
Oh man, this game totally reminded me of "Dumb ways to die" and I loved playing it! The difficulty is also really balanced. Good job!
Even though the game is far from polished, it was addicting. I wasted so much time just because I was focusing on surviving, trying things out and wanted to fill the whole arena with red cubes without dying. Nice game!
The longer I think about it the more awful I feel about myself because I played it for SO LONG. I love the gameplay even though it's so simplistic. It just reminds me of my childhood with all these similiar flash games. The art and story was also great. :smile:
I got a score of 10621! Your game is really enjoyable to play and has alot of potential for this sandbox-ish feeling. I also like the background and the feeling of acceleration, when you get a new propeller and stuff.
This game was really nice overall. The movement felt good and the platforming parts were well thought out. Only thing and that's "my" opionion in this case - I dislike parts at platforming games where I have to wait. And you have to wait for this flying moth at the beginning every time so this was a bummer for me. But apart from that it was a cool and short experience. :thumbsup:
Aaaand 1st Place! The game was very well made, I had loads of fun and really good run at that! The SFX and ambience was super duper great, the difficulty was well balanced. I guess if one would further develop this game, enemies would be a great addition, because then you could start to craft weapons and go on from there.
Good job!!
I reaaaally enjoyed this game :) It had a clear goal, a challenging difficulty, and was funny at its best with this extreme talk animation :laughing:
Nice one :thumbsup:
It was a joy playing your game. The puzzle game idea itself is really cool and that it's not just "connect these three components" but instead you have to think about the overlapping parts and finding the right pieces to do that - is pretty clever indeed. In the end I was able to beat it pretty easily but I myself wouldn't really know how to make sure that it has a fitting difficulty because of the randomly generated donators.
Maybe if there were even more components to connect it would automatically get more complex? Like adding the nervous system which also needs to connect to the brain. I learned from another game jam that making a 3 to a 4 cranks up the gameplay a LOT.
Good job!
What would be a game by @geckoo1337 without a leaderbord! The idea and mechanic is pretty interesting - but damn this game is hard. Can't seem to even touch a higher score than 30.
@peringo Is this is our pumpking? :heart_eyes:
Honestly, this was a really great game and fun to play! Well done.
@thorpalsson Now you should be able to play our game :smiley:
I also had these lag spikes as it was already mentioned (it happened consistently when I tried to reset). Still this game was really fun to play and the movement was very well done in the short span of 3 days! Good job :thumbsup:
This game was really good! I enjoyed the mechanic and think that it has alot of potential in the same manner as Dustforce DX has. With a neat soundtrack behind it I coulde see myself playing your gem casually :smile:
I like the overall idea of the game and how it fits the theme. To me it felt a bit too easy since I haven't died once. It's a really cool mechanic that you can also destroy the environment which gives the player some flexibility when getting to the next enemy!
After I understood, which tree is holding the seeds, the game was fairly easy. The mechanic with Alice shrinking and the ever-growing trees would have some potential after putting in some more effort into this.
I enjoyed this game! With 100% completion I saw everything of it - slick movement, chill music and very creative level design (especially for a Ludum Dare submission!).
I think that if the enemies could fight back, the gameplay and potential would rise to another level.
Didn't really understand what I was doing and simply won with 9 information harvested. It was an interesting story idea and the gameplay was innovative. I think this would have been a much better experience with animated scenes, text voices and clearer writing :smiley: Good job though!
I needed 20 tries to beat it. Really rough luck is what I had. Good idea to harvest yourself to stay alive, while also fleeing from "the harvesting".
Yay, another GameMaker fan ^^
The gameplay itself felt a little repetitive though that's the life of planting and harvesting crops I guess :smile: I think a newly generated labyrinth and some more tasks would have boosted the replay value alot.
Good entry though, especially for doing all of this by yourself!
Edit: Also maybe write in your description that there is a wall jump mechanic because I also felt a little lost :) A tutorial always is a good idea - We added one to our game but it wasn't complete and lacked some information, the players would have really needed. So I feel you on that page.
@lizelive Sorry to sound a bit annoying and over the top but your comment doesn't show really good manners.
Giving some bad talk about the graphics and then not knowing that .yy files are the actual GameMaker files which definitely is not the same as a json file (obviously you wouldn't end a json file with .yy) just makes your comment look unnecessary and destructive.
On top of that there was no mentioning of what could have been done better, has potential or actually was good in the game - only thing you mentioned was a readme file which even I wouldn't know why one would need something. Please change that manner on this site, since we all are striving to be good game developers, get better at what we are doing and give CONSTRUCTIVE feedback to anyone so that they also have the chance to better themselves.
The idea feels very innovative and I agree with the rest that I had loved to see more content to play around with!
The graphics look nice and it was fun to play for the first few tries :smiley: I loved to just kick the hay bales and see them sweep every living thing out of existence, haha. Your game's overall appearance had stonked if there would have been the time to add some more animations.
Cool idea, sadly I also ran into the "Froze on Day 11 and no dialogue" bug (he looped through his talk animation while this happened). Apart from this, everything the player can do literally needs no real explanation since there aren't that many different objects to interact with.
I sure did play it again and the ending plus the "special event" (no spoilers) in the middle was nice.
I think it would have been a cool impact if the player had the opportunity to just leave the tomato without harvesting it. Good job!
With a little more balancing this game can become a real gem! I loved the moody aesthetic and the gameplay idea of shining brighter than darkness can consume with the help of all the different plants. Nice one :smiley:
The difficulty has a nice balance, and I like the mechanic that either you harvest them early or get more enemies later.
Good entry!
This game has alot of potential! It reminds me of some of the old flash games where you play a 1v1 with a friend. The controls feel a bit stiff but after a bit of practice I got the hang of it!
That's a really nice entry for this jam! I was completely invested into playing through the whole game, even when I sometimes had a brain fart on the puzzles. The art style is gorgeous and I felt really immersed.
Actually I found your game because of the "how do people rate humor?" Post and I gotta agree on this topic. Since you told about the little snacks of jokes I actually caught onto that and - it was same for our entry. We don't have a funny game in that regard where people would laugh their butts off but we tried to sneak in a bit of humour for example through the way the player dies!
Really felt ya on that topic and had to play because of that - oh boy I'm happy that I got to play yours! Top of the jam games I played inbetween these 2 weeks :smile:
Incredible entry! I loved it from top to bottom - the creepy graphics, the music, and especially the gameplay. Analyzing these sentences and the n drawing different symbols to summon the ice scoops is just great!
To me, this would be a great casual game that one could play from time to time. Overall, one of top games this LD Jam!
Casting a spell by using absolut gibberish was one of the ideas I had myself. And you guys did a great job at that! Sadly the game has been finished pretty quickly, therefore the graphics and sounds gave the whole entry a nice touch.
Only thing that irritated me was the seemingly long cooldown after casting a spell, that's just my taste though! :smile:
This game was alot of fun! Neat puzzles, the graphics are funny, music is chill. I was stuck for 20min because I wanted to finish it so badly. Thanks for your entry and thanks for playing our game!
@drgcandle Wow thank you so much, now I feel really encouraged! Concerning programming, I started this hobby for over 10 years now, have also been at a tech school where we had 6hs of IT per week. I almost ended ended up working as a programmer but teaching dance was just more of a passion for me I'd say :man_dancing:
Classic idea of a defense game with some minions by your side. The execution was good, I don't have to go over the same things that the other comments already mentioned.
Since I've always been a part of a team in Ludum Dare, I have plenty of respect towards you to pull off the music, game design and this beautiful tile set within the given time limit! As much as I love candy for the eye I'd say as some constructive feedback: The flow of the game is more important at the end of the day, meaning more indicators or hints that help the player what exactly could be happening, might have been great.
Good game overall and thanks for playing our entry!
What a unique idea and great implementation! The play with words and how you created the shapes with your text - You took me in a state of awe! The graphics have a nice touch and the gameplay is good enough. Music is neither overly well made nor annoying, it's just good.
What I could imagine to developo this idea further is to give the player different choices. Like he could choose to summon one or the other in order to progress through his own story. This idea would also be great for communities to write their own summoning scripts and puzzles.
Good job and thanks for playing our game!
Really great game! It was pretty difficult and I'm just bad at puzzle games but that doesn't change the fact that this is a well thought out game!
Just one minor thing: Is it a bug or a feature that you can sometimes put the wizards on the walls of the room? That seems sort of like a glitch if I had to guess, haha
Really creative idea and approach to the theme! The simulation is great and has all the controls for it to be fun and play around for a while.
Nice entry! :smile:
Insanely good game! I completely forgot the time and started playing it for 2 hours now.
The start was a bit rough at first but after a few restarts I got the hang of it and managed to beat three whole floors. The animations and sound design is great, the overall gameplay is incredibly good and it combines pokémon with roguelike dungeon crawler elements.
Really, really good stuff, you can be proud of this game!
Great, an Idle game! I totally loved the idea and you managed the classical "Idle-scaling" in a special way: Instead of increasing the price, the distance the ants have to travel gets longer which is a nice thought indeed.
Good entry!
This game was more fun than I expected at first. The soundtrack during Yuri's Dig gives alot to the atmosphere, additionally to the environment.
Good entry!
My best working strategy was to bounce the throne into a corner, put some spikes at the entrances of the throne room and spam melee/mage goblins like crazy!
Fun game :smiley:
The idea is great, even though there were a few bugs here and there. I liked the soundtrack, it set up a good mood.
Good entry!
Came for the title, stayed for the game. Was really fun to play and I love the soundtrack, good job!
Fun game :smile: For my taste the difficulty scaling could have went up a bit more, like fast spawning of the snails or more than 1 rocket at the same time. Love the soundtrack!
Overall nice entry!
Good idea overall!
Would have loved some more indicators like the health and damage of the different ants. Nicely done for someone who had to balance work AND Ludum Dare at the same time :wink:
Great entry with an interesting puzzle mechanic! I liked the design of the little electro dudes :smile:
At the last level I got myself confused quite a bit but in the end I manages to finish your game.
Great job and thanks for playing our game!
Nice game overall, I finished it! It was great to have some sort of "practice area" at the beginning to get used to the mechanics. And the switch in the music was nice :smile:
The depleting health really stressed me out at the beginning :laughing: The movement felt good to me and I liked the progression of the level, learning one new mechanic at a time. I would have loved to play more levels, but I can understand that most people only have one fridge at home instead of 10 :shrug:
Good entry!
Great and funny game! Had to play because of the thumbnail :laughing:
Hey there pal, like every LD we both participate in, I immediately jumped to your account and looked it up and - I gotta say of many entries I've seen from you I'd say that THIS is definitely one of my favorites! Good job on the mechanic, Level design and the sound.
Well done :)
Great entry! I really like these kind of games, actually - being the reason for my 75 hours I put into Powerwash Simulator :laughing: I think your game has some potential to be really good, like adding upgrades or abilities (e. g. an automatic laser with short range that circles around you).
@sharky3188 Thanks for your feedback and sorry for the inconvenience! I disabled it so that it won't happen to other players in the future - this would just be bothersome for people trying to play our game.
Hey @pretendcoding have you tried the shaderless version? Some dvices have problems with our CRT shader and show a black screen after the intro.
@pretendcoding I deleted the old uploads and reloaded it. It should work now, at least for me.
Seems like a bug with the LD page I guess, at the start it worked perfectly
Hey @ukulelefury have you tried playing the shadeless version? Some devices have problems with our CRT shader and show a black screen
@transkuja habe you tried the shadeless version? It might help for some devices
Definitely one of the top games I've played so far! I love the idea with the chraracter creation and getting a party of other people's chars. The gameplay feels a bit harsh but just the right amount of harsh, so that the player can learn to strategize and get a hang of the mechanics, what works well together and what's not.
Really great, solid entry! Good job! :smile:
Hadal_Score.png
Saw it in stream and immediately had to play it. Pure joy and I'm happy with the result! Great entry :smile:

After over an hour of gameplay I can say, it's addictive. The idea is not really innovative or now but the execution of it all is nicely done! Only thing I would've liked is some sort of goal. At first I thought there might be something like a sunken ship at the end of the line - that would've been the cherry on top!
Great entry!
I've got my favorite game and I'd wish for this to get into further development. As a dance teacher and a person that teaches and still learns daily about music and rhythms this was just pure joy to play! I was so ready for a 5/4 beat combined with a 2/4, haha. Reall awesome!
The atmosphere has been donce nicely, as well, mostly because of the dramatic music, the hectic movement of the circle and the weird hands.
Stay awesome!
Solid entry! I adore the pixel art of this game. The gameplay itself has a good idead of execution and was fun - just need a new spacebar :laughing: I guess the jump-bug might be something that I know because this one happened myself when I was programming another game for Ludum Dare. For me it was because my player landed on a half coordinate (example: the y-coord of the player wasn't 2 but 2.5). Because of this my player was grounded but as he jumped, my gravity instantly pulled him towards the floor again. Maybe that might help fixing it?
Either way, good one!
Incredibly fun game, especially for someone who played minesweeper alot during highschool! I liked the upgrades and the game design, could have been more of a challenge overall but that's the cherry on top.
TNT was busted imo :laughing: I bought a bunch of them late-game, haha
The atmosphere was great and I really enjoyed the SFX of this game! Didn't expect it to be some sort of escape room at first but I liked it :smile:
Screenshot 2025-04-23 134457.png
Really awesome game! I had tons of fun - the gameplay is a bit idle-esque (and I enjoy playing idle games all day) and the graphics are sweet. The build-up of the music added a lot to the atmosphere and motivation to keep playing.
Great entry, glad I found your game! :heart:
Great entry! I really like the concept and it took me some time to optimize. Impressive how much you were able to put into the game, despite being a solo dev! :smile:
That was a sweet little experience! I liked the idea of the psychiatrist being suckedinto his patient's unconcious. Really creative since the theme of this jam was really limitting imo
Great entry :smile:
Really fun to play and the music was good at setting up the atmosphere! First thing I'd improve is the difficulty e.g. that you have to really think about contracting back to your base because it might cost some of the collected food sources etc.
Good entry!
