I really like Quil18, started me off in learning to make games, but this game just doesn't feel as nice as previous entries. Mechanics work well, but the game itself is kinda slow. Just inventory management, which I personally don't like in any game so it might just be me.
Visual Effects and Audio were great. I did have a problem where I would leave the screen and didn't know how to get back a few times.
Game looks pretty good but runs poorly at higher resolutions.
The game had a good concept. Trying to grab things was a little frustrating and ultimately is why I stopped playing. I think highlighting what you are currently grabbing would be a good edition.
My first though was ugh math. Turned out to be quite fun. The computer does seem to be unbeatable but maybe I am just really bad at math.
The game was fun. Super hard. Feel that the difficulty ramp was a line drawn straight up.
Super fun game. Difficulty is great, starts of easy and quickly becomes overwhelming. The shotgun seemed to be the best weapon for me. And using the barrel guys as bombs.
Great use of the color scheme and I like the progression of solving the puzzles. Think you solved it only to find out you screwed up somewhere. Makes it feel good when you get it.
I really liked this game. Might be my favorite one I have played so far. The low resolution look, plus the music in the back really sold me on it all. At first I didn't quite understand why I couldn't pick up items from certain people, then I realized its because its what they want. Might want to consider making that a little more apparent in the future. For LD40 I made a very similar game, but your execution is far better.
Took my a second to figure out movement, but once I did I like its effect. I fell the objective wasn't super clear though.
@lavinski If you played on a windows computer you should be able to see the max number of Sats you ever had in orbit. If you played on mac it gets mushed in with the newspaper, not sure why, only shows up in the compiled version. You can still see it, just hard to find.
@star-garden Yeah the How To was a last minute thing. Defiantly could have been done better.
Fun game. Steep learning curve. While I was awful at the game it worked great.
Played the game a few times. I was never able to win, but I could get pretty close with a very simple pattern. Skip the first few turns until I can research, then fix all the problems with the middle option. Then keep fixing with the middle option until only 2-3 sections are red. Skip until research then go back to the start. This could get me anywhere from 50-80% completion. I think balancing the game is limited by the time you had so its understandable for there to be exploits. I think some sound, even some clicks when pressing buttons would have made the game feel much less flat. I liked the overall visual style of the game, but you had some layer issues with the UI that would put the panels in front of the text you were trying to show. In all I liked the game, it shows good potential, just needs more time.
The game was a good concept. Defiantly needs improvement. Felt my goal wasn't clearly defined. I still had fun playing.
Awesome to see a game done in scratch!
Game is fun once you get the hang of it. Really like the art style.
I enjoyed the game. Was relaxing to play. Required you to think about what you were doing and plan your routes in advanced. While the audio track was repetitive, it was not badly so. Worked well as a continuous background.
Really Fun Game. Wanted to just keep playing.
The game was enjoyable and looked nice. Wasn't able to ever beat it. Think either I am bad, or it needs the other types of L blocks.
How do you play your game? The downloads seem to be a project folder. I don't see an executable.
@johannimations Game is still not playable. You need the Data Folder, Mono Folder, Exe, Crash Handler, and Dll to run the game. Right now you are missing the mono and crash handler.
@johannimations It seems identical to how it was before. Do you need to update the download link? Don't feel bad for your first time. You made a game and did something which is great.
@johannimations Got to play it. Great first entry! Sound would have improved it, but now you have experience for the next one.
The game is a good idea. Had a lot of problems placing stuff. Seemed to only work some of the time. Other people have mentioned the lack of sound and I also agree with them.
Was a good game. Felt good when you got the order of things and solved the puzzles.
I would love to play your game but I don't install anything. Maybe in the future provide a web build, or a direct exe of the game.
Overall it is a pretty good concept. I felt like my goal wasn't really explained. Also it runs in full screen but I could not find a way to close the game besides force killing it.
I like the general look of the game, but its difficulty is far too high. Could not reach the second wall more than once every 10 attempts in the first level.
This game was okay to me. It wasn't bad, but the game play and music was a little repetitive.
I had fun playing it, but like many of noticed before, my boat turned into a sub after a little bit. Other than that its a good idea.
This game is great. Super simple and had a smile on my face the entire time I was playing it. One improvement would be to see where the toys are falling, maybe just a half second before. Died a few times by one spawning directly in front without time to react.
Fun Game. I enjoyed playing it, but as you play it gets easier. Perhaps it would be good to remove blocks occasionally.
Game was enjoyable. Reminded me a lot of Papers Please. Game was really hard, or maybe I am just bad.
@justcamh The play button works, you just need to click on the bottom of it. There is a glitch with the Unity UI system that we can't seem to solve. Sorry.
@justcamh Thanks for the feedback! The clicking being a single button was intentional, to make you purposely kill your goats, but perhaps it was overdone. The last level can be beaten without luck, but it requires planning from the start of the game. The pixelation of the game was created before the menus were made, and when making the menus it was in the last rush of the jam so didn't get a lot of time to give feedback to the artist about stuff, looked good so we used it. Collisions were an issue. Most of the jam was focused on mechanics, all the levels and the switching between levels were made in the last 3 hrs of the jam so cut a few corners there. For the music, we kinda made it. It was created by us, but with a NN, rather than by hand and then cut down to what sounded good. Thanks again for the feedback. Hopefully after exams I will be able to check out your game.
Drive is not letting me download your files, I would guess this is because it contains an exe. Perhaps you could move it to another host like dropbox?
The art and sounds were very nice, but I found I could only hurt the reapers sometimes. Also when walking left at the start the screen shakes and I cannot hurt the reaper at all.
It was fun to play, I really liked clicking around on the different activities, and got a good kick out of toilet paper being currency. I really liked the GB art style, in fact my game this year was programmed to run on an original gameboy. Some controls would have been a nice help, I lost a bit of time to that, but really enjoyed it. Good job!
It seems enjoyable, and I like the idea it had, but the keyboard controls were lacking. When using the arrow keys on a Mac and shooting I would constantly end up switching windows. Also having the enemies have full axis movement but the player locked to 4/8 makes it really hard to get to them. If I was able to test with a non browser I might have made it a bit longer.
@kjscott Thanks for playing. On a gameboy pressing B(X) chooses the second option in a menu, this is intentional gameboy design. So by pressing B you are choosing option 2, the continue option, this is how the majority of all gameboy games function. And for the game quitting, again this is a gameboy game, there is no "quit". The browser is running a gameboy emulator. The not play again just lets you fly around for a bit, as I can't actually turn off a gameboy through the rom.
I like the physics and bounciness of the characters, but I couldn't quite get a hang of how to play the game. I could keep it going for a little bit, but eventually I would just knock Johnny into lightspeed and lose. I think having a warmup area where the user can learn the controls would be a good addition to this game.
It was enjoyable and visually well polished. I did get stuck on the second level, and it wouldn't progress (no new snakes or auto moving to the next level) so I just had to use the level editor to skip forward.
Interesting game, I enjoyed it. I think a good addition for furthering this game would be to add some way of destroying the rocks, like in asteroids, or creating some kind of wall by dragging on the screen. Would add a bit more mix in.
An interesting little game. I would recommend in the future adding the option to disable full screen. Things didn't quite look right on the size of my monitor.
I enjoyed the game, the intro cutscene was cool and I really like the minecart section. As I mentioned on stream I think adding music controls and a basic tutorial would be good editions.
@divford @danga @studio-gomp @poweranze When I was editing the how to for the text to fit I made a typo and deleted an extra 0. You need to reach 50K to win.
@c3ll256 That means you are using more energy than you have available, you need to build generators or solar to get more.
@thegreenworm The camera controls were the first thing I made! I wanted it to feel good to play
@afroant I agree strongly with the ingame UI, my main issue was trying to keep the things you can interact with voxel based, but not crowding the screen. I ran out of time before I could come up with an elegant solution so they all got dropped on the How To page.
This game has a pretty good idea, my coordination isn't great so it was pretty hard but I did eventually win! There were a few instances where I would lose 2 lives on the same object but otherwise it played very well.
Very short with some interesting effects, I like how you wrote the mini story, it would have been nice if it was a little longer.
This is the first game I have played in the jam so far and I liked it a lot! A very nice start to my day. I found the puzzles and ending enjoyable, though with some of the parts of the game it seemed more like blind luck then actually solving a puzzle. I enjoyed the music and sound effects, but the music does just sound like the default sound generated by tones.fm so I had to take some off for music.
@asdehielo Ah thanks for the clarification, guess the puzzle was a bit more than what I was thinking haha.
This is a great first run at LD Jam and I hope you keep coming back to future ones. The game has a good foundation but I think with more time and some more variety it could have been greatly improved. Much of it is a waiting game with a little movement. This plays far better than my first game and I can't wait to see what you come up with in future events!
This was a very fun puzzle game! I didn't realize until the last level it wasn't timed so I rushed through a few that would have been better to actually work out every aspect. I liked the controls and the logic of some puzzles, a few were super simple or I solved on accident lol. A good and unique take on the theme.
This is an incredible game to be made in this time frame and I am super surprised I was only the 20th person to rate it! Expanding this to a world wide, more political risk would make quite the follow up if you every want to keep improving it. One of the best I have played so far.
This was a fun game to play and I enjoyed the almost papers please like aspect. I did have some issues where text would advance instantly, not leaving me time to read it. I also had a few days where nothing happened and I would just lose money. Overall it is a good concept for a game.
This was a very fun game! One of the I went to play another round right away. I agree with the person above me that this would make a great card game, almost like a small scale risk.
This was a fun and simple game. The movement was quite challenging to get the hang of for myself but eventually I got into the flow of things. I found that for a good part of the game the splitting would take care of themselves. I don't know how you decided to choose what they split into but it might be good to make it have some context awareness if you decide to develop further. Speaking of that I liked the nature of the game and could see it as a game you play while waiting for the bus, something to get your brain working and being able to pickup and putdown quickly. It is quite fun!
From reading other comments it seems like this game has an interesting premise but even on my screen brightest setting it was hard for me to make out anything. I understand that it being dark is a key part of the game, but perhaps it would be good to think about more accessible options in the future.
This is a pretty fun game, I enjoyed a couple rounds of it. Before I knew what I was doing I scored better lol. I think it would be cool if you got more points for merging bigger sections, maybe have the cash in be a keybind. That way you could gamble with how many you want to store.
This game looks incredible for being put together in such a short time span!
@iguanana Thanks for the feedback! Music is my weak point and making music for the game boy is even harder :(
@darandin I ran out of time to add something on screen but that would have been nice. Did you see you could press start to open a menu that showed your resources?
@cppchriscpp The cursor speed is actually a limitation of the GB CPU. If you go down to Mexico or up to Canada and all the cities unload it moves pretty quickly. I did most of the development with only 1 city so I didn't realize the bottleneck until it was too late.
