I have always wanted to see a game that takes the roguelite ascii aesthetic into 3D. It looks so clean.
I have never, in the 12 years I've participated in LD seen anything quite like this. I am pretty blown away honestly. Also, it reminded me of this video essay on similar-ish games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y77hZAmJH4
This is one of my favorite games so far. I had so much fun playing. the hunting mechanics were interesting, and it was genuinely enjoyable to try to get the waves to align.
I also enjoyed the starmap once I figured out how it worked. I kept holding still thinking that the system was prompting me to. I'm glad that more time went into the searching mechanics and less on the ship combat. That being basically a dice roll was fine for a game jam.
Once I figured out what to do, I felt like the game flowed really well. All of the audio queues were exceptional.
This is one of the most unique games I've played in an LD. I love F***king around with knobs and dials, so this was a fun way to make an audio playground with an intention too.
The dithered texturing on the ground is 👌
Hey there! For some reason, there seems to be an issue with the embed. I am not able to play it.
Great puzzle game. I enjoyed the RNG of the different pieces. It felt like a more open ended puzzle, like Wordle if that makes sense.
I wish there was a rating for controls and character movement because I would give that 5 stars. I loved the base movement, the jumping felt smooth, but the javelin momentum made the whole experience come together into something really fun.
This truly has been one of the most fun games I've played this Jam so far. Don't really know what else to say, the mood, audio, gameplay, and enemies were all so good. Great work!
Heh, I only got 16 on my first try.. I liked the simple and straightforward gameplay loop augmented with good sound design, a very good UI and altogether, this felt very polished. I would like to see my score at the end displayed, but that's a small thing.
I know the web version was a little laggy, but I really appreciate you still porting to web. It makes the game so much more accessible.
What an interesting take on the theme! I liked the format and the UI that you chose. The vector graphic style was also pretty nice as well.
I have been reminded of the horror of gradeschool and failing my addition and subtraction tables. Honestly, if soemthing like this was in my classroom, I may have grown to like math. I'm impressed by the gameplay being so unique and new. I think that educational games can be quite powerful as a learning tool! Great job and I really enjoyed playing this.
I'm so happy someone made a game about summation. That was my first thought when I saw the theme was to deconstruct the word and just come up with something using 'sum'. I loved the game and I think that you made something that you should be really proud of!
I had a lot of fun playing this. It was much more casual than some others I've played, and I actually really appreciated that it was more laid back. This is something I could play at work.
Incredibly fun and challenging. I love seeing ecology games too!
Really beautiful work, the settings and character sprites feel really well done and sychronized with the overall theme. The game was very challenging and I liked the difficulty ramp up. Great work!
Great job with this. the audio, graphics and aesthetic all fit together really well for a 48 hour game. It is a simple game concept with so much polish added to it.!
What an oddly stressful game! I will puppet what others are saying, and the little devil really steals the show!
I've had a game idea similar to this in the back of my head for a while. It was awesome that you made this.
I died next to the MLP... jar... giving 5 points for humor for that one lol.
Great first jam! keep it up!
I loved the narration and art style a lot! was that some unity shader, or something custom? the retro feel throughout felt really uniform and it is a shame the game went unfinished, but you made lemons out of lemonade!
I was going to play a bunch of games on my lunch break, but I spent all the time I had off playing this one. The game is well balanced, the power-ups and abilities were fun to combine, I need to get back to work but it's still open and now i don't want to give up my setup so thanks a lot for killing my productivity. 🐜
I love the ship concept. I really did enjoy playing the game and flying BUBBA. cool concept and good execution
Impressive amount of levels!
Cool concept to make the water the "bad guy"
This game struck a very personal chord for me. Feelings aside the storytelling alone made this one of the best games I've seen in 46 so far. Thanks for making this
This game looks really great, especially for a first jam! keep up the good work
I love the Western feel omg. the music was so great!!!
Agree with Brossman here, the music is catchy
6370 Wave 12. I loved the retro feel of the enemies changing color each wave. the progressions was really fun and I overall really enjoyed it. Nice work!
I burned my house down just because i wanted to.
the music was awesome! can you add download links for the soundtrack?
Did i just play a spreadsheet....10/10
That was so much fun to play. i was a little too lazy to pull out vr for it, but wish i would have in hindsight. quick aside, i really do appreciate VR games in LDjam. the mood was awesome and the story was super interesting and held my attention throughout the game. I also loved the way the terrain looked and will be sure to watch that tutorial later!
for 6 hours, its got a lot of polish. The sound effets, status sprites and the menus were a great touch of completion
I love games like this so much and for 48 hours, this really was able to scratch that itch. loved the randomized hiring list, the sound effects, and the overall effort in the small details, ei recording more than one 'hire' soundbyte for the game. overall super fun and well designed.
First off I really liked the music. Very fun and upbeat and set the tone. Turned based stuff has always scared me for 48 hour jams so kudos for taking on that challenge!
I loved the art style here. It had a direction and was uniform throughout, something that is hard to do in 48 hours. especially when you decide you need assets last minute.. I digress... the music was also very fun. Definitively not the usual 'space pad' style you would expect from a game with space controls. Speaking of controls, they worked well. after binging KSP the 0 g control felt pretty natural.
Finally, a betting game im good at. The AI was well done, good work
Damn that was hard...
Made it to Gen 30
finished with $69. Nice. Also, Kudos for making a game in C++. Its impressive as hell
Def giving a 5 for theme lol
I had one Job...
well that was fun. reminded me a lot of Enter the Gungeon
Very cool idea. even without blender, the game still looked pretty cool. the mechanics were a refreshing take ont he theme for sure.
Damn that was fun to play... I am not good at either card games or fighting games, but i if i was, this game would be kick ass.
so so so beautiful. It was pretty fun to play on the Moosen stream. loved the animations and the gameplay was very fluid, kinda like the fuel that would run out so often...
It was very fun to play, that little dinosaur got me good.. a lot...
So great! we played it in the Moosen stream and loved it. the music was, to quote chat, "lit".
Loved it! enjoyed playing it on the Moosen stream
Had fun playing it! it was fun to crush the pink things
This game was very fun! Enjoyed playing another game of yours on the Moosen stream. It was pleasantly difficult and controlled really well.
Super hard, but we had a fun time playing it on the moosen stream! thanks for letting us play it! will beat it later
Played it on the Moosen stream, i enjoyed it!
Very rarely do multiplayer games made in three days work well, bu this is a perfect experience. love it a lot.
this was very cool, i liked how it seemed to get darker and the spiders slowly got larger. kinda creepy 4 me
My score was 30. Well done for a first LD! very fun
might not be a bad idea to link a .zip as well, for those like me playing on a secondary computer and too lazy to download winrar.
incredibly interesting use of tabs to do this, that was pretty neat
me_irl
not a bad first 3D game.
Very well done play progression. it was fun to keep playing
good job for a first submission!
love it!
good one! enjoyed getting beat by it!
is 9 good?
That sounds like a lot of fun making a game with your kid! It turned out pretty good!
wow. that was gorgeous!
was it hard debugging a game about debugging?
Funny stuff! Loved it!
Nice one! loved the art style and the sounds
This was a fun/hard one! GG
Thanks for letting us play your game! - huntinator7 stream
is 155 a good score? This game is pretty addictive!
It is a very pretty game! 100 objective pts is a little much for a jam game..
I love it! Its simple, and pretty fun for a 48 hour card game. GG
Not bad for your first run! And this game needs no genre. My favorite part was riding a ghost all the way through the first level haha
Love the crzyness of the AI bouncing around when you are trying to do stuff
pretty cool. like dem graphics
T'was a blast
Impressive game for scratch.
not bad. Its pretty entertaining
the objects dont show up on screen, but a good TD game
That was a pretty cool take on that type of game
made me lol
not bad
I loved this game, very hectic inventory management
I just love the idea of this game, very humorous and fun
10 mins! is that a good score?
I liked it
Despite not having an endgame it was intense! well done
Its pretty awesome that you threw in some recent developments into your game. I wish the whole thing was as simple as your game haha
i love the retro theme of this game
it was a little difficult to see what was going on, however the visuals were nice
I liked the concept, but found it too difficult for me. I'm not to good at faster paced games
I love seeing VR games coming to LD
Wow well done, very neat and tidy, and the graphics and gameplay were fun
Cool idea, not bad for 48 hours
Looks pugalicious, but can't play
Very well made! This was intense, and the mood was great.
Not bad. Like the mobile port
Really well done!
Dandruff, out for career :)
Nice job dude! Really liked the zombie mechanics.
Where the fuck is my rattle?

Well done story
Made me lol
Pretty fun, cute art design, but a tad repetative, however pretty polished
I love this game1 it has fun strategy and the WW1 theme is awesome
Love the art a lot! looks very clean
Looks fun, but I cant play because its missing a file.
Wow that was fun! i loved the music, and the game mechanics got a little tedious, but still a fun game
Cool idea, Brain simulator haha
Wow This was an awesome concept
Gosh i love this style of game. Had to tap out at level 8. I'm weak
Physics were pretty nifty
Most polished game I've played so far! nice job
Like the sounds
Innovative and very replayable! Loved it!
Really liked it, very cool concept!
Good job, but some jumps are impossible. Don't find them all the time, but there are some that
10/10 ign would fap again
Good job dude! Really well done.
"Not too sure how I can beat that 66 gold contract, it just keeps saying contract failed when i run out of gold, even when the monster is level 3."
I had the same issue. Overall, good game though.
I love this game! Got to 62.
Making it rain $67! Was a great day, besides my dog dying.
Looks Nostalgic
Loved this a lot
This game looks absolutely beautiful. Im having trouble advancing past the title screen however
I loved it, I find the notion of being lost in a mine terrifying, and the Minecraft easter egg was pretty cool.
I love the feel of the game
Very well done for 48 hours. Pretty fun
Pretty fun, very challenging XD
SOOOO awesome! Loved the Stanley Parable-style gameplay, and a wonderful story
Really well done game.
love it
Thanks for the comments on my game, they were very constructive and will help me a lot next time. I loved the theme of your game and the story. The rogue like controls were a bit repetitive but all part of the experience, (and the joke relating to it was humorous) and overall pretty good
is it possible to put run this via web?
Wow i love this game
Love these kind of stealth games!
Love the nostalgia feel
A fellow Construct-er, nice game!
wouldnt load..
I love it, just wish the controls were a little less difficult
Some of the levels were easily beat, but it was a fun game
I love it!
Graphics are impressive
Gotta love potatoes!!!
didnt load for me, but it looks really fun
Can't play it :(
potato...
wow, great game
I really like this kind of game, very fun and addicting
its kinda cool, very different
Not bad at all for a first game! nice job. I really liked the level design, it was hard but balanced
It was a duper fun game mateys, but didnt fit the theme very well
Pretty fun/new style of RTS
Really hard, but really fun
It was an ok game. got a little repetitive, but still pretty fun
well... it had potatoes
Wow, this is a super fun city build game. I love city builders, and this one was really fun
Loved it
While I can'trate theme very high, i LOVED tearing apart minimalism with taters!
Great idea, i im very intrigued by this game. Let me know if you ever finish it
I really liked this, its one of the most polished games I've played so far
Pretty good, it was relaxing
It was... trippy. i liked it but the repetition was a little overused
I had a glitch where the top sprites were black, making it hard to play, but very fast paced and pretty fun
team potatoes!
I had to stop playing because it distracted from my homework for half an hour. Basically, its really fun
It looks awesome, but like a lot of people im too lazy to upgrade to linux
Pretty cool, reminds me of portal for some reason
Pretty cool/fun game
I love ant sims! This one doesnt dissapoint either
I love runners, but i cant seem to play it.
Very new and innovative
I find this game to be pretty addicting. I do like the fuel aspect to the gameplay
The style of it kind of looks like tempest a long time ago.. really cool.
I also had only 10 hours to work on mine. It's a really fun game i thought.
This is so cool! you minimized minimal
I Love this game because it reminds me of my nerdy teacher's favorite movie
Absolutley love this game! One of my favorites so far
this fits the theme very well, congrats.
I'm not a fan of text style games, but i do like how it looks, and the gameplay is comperable to a lot of other rouges.
Awesome!
This game will be really cool after its polished up
This is really addicting
Wow, this is actually more fun than Space Invaders

I want to give a shoutout to the sound design. In 48/72 hours, it is really hard to give that aspect of development the love it needs, and yet you've done a really great job making sure that the atmospheric tone is established with the sounds.
