Super innovative take on the theme. Sometimes it's hard to know if the words fit the topic or not. I think you should make this into a full game maybe with an additional mechanic of finding out which words fit where and maybe even multiplayer. I think it would be a great party game with friends :)
Perfect flow. First you try to throw he hens out only for them to fly back in, then you shoot them out with a cannon, but they just keep coming until you realize you can just blow them all up with the cannon balls. I wish there was a win condition, but great and silly game regardless :)
Ended with two shields, 1 weapon and life support. Saved 200 with shield cheese strategy (rip energy beings used as batteries). It's really awesome that you manged to fit so much in just 2 days. Maybe I'm inherently biased cause we both tackled refugees but I hope you get at least top ten <3
It was fun once I figured you need to take 3 laps . Most of what I wanted to say has already been said, but I think this could make a really compelling Android/iOS game if y'all decided to keep working on it :)
I agree with most of the feedback. If the controls were a bit clearer and the dialogue was skippable, it could make for a compelling party game. I'd just like to say that I'll rate it higher for what it could have been rather than what it is :)
Really fun entry. Played it till the end. Two hindrances to the experience: One is that the collisions and the graphics are slightly off. And when you get paid the coins fall off the table or behind the ingredients and it's almost impossible to collect them. This irks the completionist inside me. Great game though, when I look back at LD42 I shall remember potion seller :)
Technically interesting game. I see you spent most of your time on the programming bit hehe. Good job anyway :)
Nice play on the title, only realized that after the ending cutscene haha. I really like how serene the atmosphere is with the other ships and obstacles acting as the chaotic agents in the mix. I actually preferred the slower game play as it seemed to mesh better with the world, though I was confused as to why hitting anything was an insta-kill? Great experience regardless :)
Really like the stylish effects and how you can actually use the pyre to slow down the vampires. Maybe if you don't burn the bodies, the vampires resurrect? Would add theme points. You should probably build on the concept and release a full game, it would be bloody awesome :O
Hehe you could have called the game castle crusher. Simple but well defined gameplay. Good job :)
This is really good. It's fun to replay as well. Agree with almighttuna about the controls. But otherwise I think you might win the compo or atleast top 10 easily. Remember I called it if you do :O
Super stylish game with a message. what more could you ask for?
Pretty game. Well polished and theme fitting. Can't really think of anything I'd improve...maybe it's perfect :O
You guys absolutely nailed the cyberpunk aesthetic. The gun feels really good to use too and the way the theme was followed was genius. Maybe a quick melee or a secondary fire with a longer reload could have been implemented to get rid of a spaceship that's right in your face. Great game otherwise :)
Technically interesting game, I managed to reach level 8 on my first try, those zombies are like, 'haha surprise (life = life -1 )." Keep making more awesome stuff :)
Super unique and what an emotional roller coaster. Making it punishing forces you to think what fits where and put yourself in the shoes of the protagonist. Very well done. A little criticism, the English version has some spelling and grammatical errors that make it hard to understand the context of certain situations. The French version is fine though so good job :)
Hard but fair gameplay. The bullet hell part is misleading as people think it's a schmup but it's actually a puzzle game with a dominant strategy each level. I love the twist that you're actually on a planet too. Good Job
I'ts like playing asteroids in 3D Love it! The near miss bonus points are so juicy hehe
So not only did you make something hilariously fun but the game also really captures the essence of how hard it is to stick to diet plans and how any gains can be lost just by a few moments of negligence. Truly wonderful ;)
Scored 7306. Really interesting game, took me a while to figure everything out but I think that's part of the fun.
That monkey so mad zomg. Died 5 times, cool game, but tooooo short. Make more pls.
The planets are pretty. I feel like it's a good niche game and people that like less stressful games with no forced objectives would really enjoy this. I wish there was some music though, as it feels pretty lonely.
I like that the file size affects the speed. Great meta game concept :)
Well defined atmosphere and theme adherence. Also interesting enough to warrant a replay. Probably one of the first games, I can't find anything that you could have done better. Maybe adding some sort of dash could spice up the gameplay a bit. But otherwise one of the top games this compo.
Very beautiful and calming atmosphere. The puzzles are really good too. I think you should take this further than just a jam game :)
Really original game. I must say it is a bit too hard (took me forever to get past level 2), you need to ease the player in before you whoop his ass xD Still it's one of the most innovative games I've played today. Good job :O
super professional looking game, remember me if you guys win <3
Ended up playing this for way longer than I expected to haha. Really addictive concept you've got here. Got stuck at the level with the large Andy's pie in it. No matter what I tried couldn't stop the pie from bursting. Damn you Andy, I wanted to play more :(
Very professional game. I think y'all should expand on it and make a full game. Waves last a bit too long but otherwise managed to engage me for quite a while. Great Entry :)
I like that the player is forced to keep moving so as to collect those juicy powerups. Art is nice and consistent too, reminds me of downwell. There's a bug where I was able to move out of the screen, think I triggered it by creating a wall and then just teleported out. Nice and polished game otherwise :)
I think this would be more fun for two players than one. But I have no real friends so cant test. There's a bug where sometimes if I shoot a block too close to another, I get stuck. Better graphics would have kept me playing longer. But still an interesting take on the theme :)
I like the controls and bonus points for the fireworks :O I wanted to play moreee though with it getting progressively more hectic, but it was pretty relaxing and I kinda liked that too so I dunno, I'm confused lol. Art served it's purpose (also Inkscape is awesome for vector stuff, if you're not an artist). Now make more games :)
Groovy art my dudes! It's crazy how y'all can make so much in such little time. Keep up the good work my dudes :)
Charming little game. I'm glad to see someone else worked on a narrative driven experience. Bonus points for the cat :)
I love the art! it looks like you could eat it xD. The spaceship does look a bit out of place though. There's a bug in planet 2 where if you fall, you don't respawn. But the game is simple enough that most won't notice hehe. My only complaint is that it's a bit too short. But good job overall :)
MC looks like a racoon xD Cute art and nice use of the theme. Stair physics feels a bit off, but otherwise nice entry :)
Calm and very personal. I really like these narrative pieces and wish people would make more. I really wish it was longer though <3 Does it really end after the stars?
The core loop can get really addictive, might want to continue development on this. Brilliant use of the theme too, took me a while to figure that out haha. Also the modern font was a lifesaver. Great Job :)
Managed to beat it. That jumping snake man....scared the poop outta me xD
Simple but fits with the theme. Super rough around the edges. I think I finished the game after approximately 10 levels as the next level button didn't work anymore? But if this was your first time using Unity it was still a good job. Remember you can only get better :)
Trippy game my dude. Really like it and how you took advantage of the theme.
A bit too short XD? Also mouse sensitivity is super high. Nice little game otherwise :)
More fun with two players xD The introvert AI was pretty realistic, as he just moved around in a corner hitting the wall by himself O.o Interesting take on the theme since you've gotta either run away from the empty space or run towards it. Good job :)
I really like it. The music, art and gameplay mesh together very well. The fact that fighting back is pointless and only makes it harder as you go further is brilliant and fits the theme well. Reminds me of the binding of isacc and hopeless. Def one of my favorites!
@naemis yee I noticed the animations. They are accounted for in your rating *winky face* Couldn't get past wave 3 though
Omg at first I though her sweater was a beard and I played the whole game thinking I was a dwarf with a snazzy beard...then it hit me O.o Nice take on anxiety. I enjoyed it :)
@yukey0 eeeh thanks for playing :) I usually just design and program so it was fun making art this time :O
@call-me-nutty I had planned for so many more butterfly effects, but was only able to implement a few because I spent all my time on making the cards (which was fun XD). I have some free time before uni starts and since at least someone's interested I shall try and complete it :) Also there was originally another country which had a more sinister agenda, you'd only uncover on your second playthrough and two additional mechanics other than just accepting and rejecting. But I was only able to hint at them for the submission.
also thanks for the feedback :D
@kpded "Yeah, btw, since when one dog or one corpse or two kids counts as one citizen?:) " Oh no you caught me xD I shall work on a more user friendly version and make it longer before the month ends(I try). Arigato for feedback :O
@ravenflame always let the dog in <3 no matter the cost
@awix Oh I did play your game. It's so polished, the kinda game you keep playing and not realize how much time has past <3
@rumor Unfortunately the government of Perfectia pays you to be heartless, why it's also so easy to just reject everyone. But making those harder choices where you try to be as compassionate as you can while still holding your position of power...that's so much harder to do, but you still go on. But I guess there comes a point where enough is enough and you want to fight back and that's why I hope to complete this game with that extra plot line I wasn't able to include, make it a bit more hopeful :)
@jackyjjc @dunin @rumor aye I realized it was similar to Papers Please after I'd started working. But it was too late to change ideas and I wanted to commit to this. Omg reigns gameplay is eerily similar too :c...I need to spend more time making sure my concept is unique next time. Thanks for pointing that out :)
@designernap Wow Alien Isolation is one of my favorite games this generation. It's crazy that you played and liked my little game. It really means a lot. Thank you so much :)
Patients blocking each other is goddamn genius. I also like how you can instantly put em down sometimes and sometimes you gotta wait. Ended up just putting everyone down for kicks until I realized I had -3000 bucks. Yes, I'm a bad person :l Bonus points for your description, can relate 5/5. Meta humor ftw
@haustgeirr a wise man once said that half the human population was a happy mistake. I think he was being overly generous but hey what do I know?
Yeah, I can't get past 6 people lol. Great way to kill time and imo that makes it the perfect android game. Nice job :)
@chicodelosmates omg I was wondering where the next kid would spawn so I kept playing RIP
