LD43 — Sacrifices must be made (6)

Night's End by glimaleite 2018-12-05T13:02:02Z ♥ 1

My favorite compo entry so far. Solid graphics, story and the shooting mechanics and feedback feel great. I do have two critiques if I may: 1 - The gameplay is maybe not as closely linked with the theme as it should be. 2 - The music doesn't fit with the setting very well. I understand everything is done by yourself and you need to use the tools you have at hand, but maybe the guitar riff could draw some inspiration from folk music that is more typical to the setting/time period (I'm guessing 1300s-1600s?). Like maybe some mandolin type of music (https://youtu.be/pBKFlckrpmU). Other than those two critiques I'm just blown away by the game and how you managed to pull it off in such a sort amount of time. Tons of kudos!

Congrats on the game! The character model and animation is really nice and fluid. There's a moody atmosphere to the whole thing that fits the gameplay nicely. Unfortunately I had to play it without sound in a browser because there isn't a mac version. I guess my critique would be that it is a bit TOO similar to Papers, Please, but without the moral dilemmas that Papers, Please present. The "children are bad" criteria is very interesting, as it goes against what people are usually taught to think. Solid entry though, good job!

Really nice drawings and mood. The smooth jazz piano fits perfectly :) I agree with the comment above that the theme doesn't feel central to the gameplay, but overall a reeeeaally solid entry! Congrats!

Very innovative and a great match for the theme :)

This Lemmings-like is very innovative and a perfect fit for the theme. It's great that you took the theme and made it central to the gameplay itself instead of just the theme. Good stuff!

Great stuff! Punching those little shits felt really satisfying. The mood is spot on, with the music and graphics contrasting but strengthening each other as a result. You have these Steamboat Willie-esque elves scored by an industrial, dystopic soundtrack. Brilliant. I'd maybe like the days to fly by a little faster but overall a fantastic entry to the compo!
