Suprisingly fun in its simplicity, I realised after a while that it was much more enjoyable to just hold down the mouse button instead of klicking, much more smooot, maybe should follow the mouse pointer att all times without the need to strain your finger by holding? So you can focus on relaxing and breathing :)
I was enlightened! 😇
Diamond axe and dash hell yeah baby!
This was simply amazing, everything is top notch, not much else to say.
Btw, the platforms stops spawning at around 30000m depth :P
I love the "systems" aspect of the game, really creative and great potential. When you got the hang of the different systems it was awesome to play piano and switching all systems on and off. I the idea of systems simulators for this reason and this had the perfect number of systems and interactions. Cool graphics as well!
I only had some problems that are not related to the actual gameplay, so bear with me:
1. I did not understand the progression of the game, or why I would move around and risk dying instead of just staying still and repairing and then I had no indication that the repairs actually was doing anything. Maybe some objectives like finding missing parts or survivors or something else in the deep would make the objective more logical.
2. I had no reason to go "Deeper" and no reason to not go to the surface to not drown (makes sense to go upwards if the sub is broken). Depth 0 was not on the surface :P
3. What does having your systems at -1 mean? Did not make much sense to me, would it not make more sense to just up all the scales by one?
4. ";" did not work as a hotkey for me, I don't know if it has anything to do with my nordic/german keyboard layout.
5. Missing some sounds
The gameplay was really awesome though. Really enjoyed this one, good job!
Awesome visuals, but I did not understand what I was supposed to do when I encountered the plant thing. I just dodged its projectiles endlessly without effort :P
This immediately put a big smile on my face, the mood is a solid 5+ :D High score of 146! The mechanics was simple yet really solid, dodge and shout and the note was a perfect mix of abilities that worked great together, I feel like I could play this endless if I got a little more practice in. Learned to dodge in the air to avoid getting hit immediately after landing, intended or not, it was a nice discovery! Awesome!
Got stuck after the ruins/woodstock, really wanted to finish this but I tried everything, any pointers?
Really engaging, only thing missing was some kind of ambient music, I listened to some medieval tavern music while playing :)
Solid mechanics, a LOT of content, and nice easter egg ;)
@potti Doh! Totally missed the H hotkey, stupid me. Second playthrough managed to finish with only two minor hiccups when I was supposed to go back to the library and read more, and when I was supposed to ask the King about help to lure Woodstock. Encountered a small bug that didn't let me click away from the ancient ruin texts, I needed to travel to another destination and back to read the other ones. Great game!
Great game! I might be uneducated but I have never seen a tower defense style game where the towers are mobile in this fashion and you are are free to move your "base", really innovative!
I had a "best" score of 9 but an even better score of -48, I think the score calculator has a little bug :P Aren't you supposed to get more score the further down you drill? And it was not clear why I didn't get any resources when drilling upwards.
I think som basic sounds would have made a big difference for the mood. Maybe add some resource nodes you can aim for while drilling? And maybe a radar and some sort of fog of war? I wish the drilling would have been a little quicker so you have the time to move around a bit more before you die.
Otherwise nice work!
"YOU"
"DEAD"
:D
My PBs: 1:14 0:54 0:52
Managed to do a barrel roll when unintentionally hitting the wall. LOLed when I crashed the first time and the camera went bananas.
10/10 would play the sequel
Really cool game, insanely polished, could easily be a commercial game. For me the difficulty was just right, (maybe a little easy, probably was lucky with the randomization) and I managed to feed my Majesty successfully 😎
Awesome game, perfect scope, I needed a couple of tries before I managed to find my way out of the darkness. Awesome art and sound as well!
The hosting is kinda broken! "HTML5 (web) http://localhost:59947/"
Solid fucking game. Makes me re-evaluate all other mood scores I have given out this Ludum Dare. I got sick chills from those ghost thingies, and even when I failed and died it did not break immersion because you had no time to think. Sounds was fucking A+ and it was the perfect length and difficulty.
DAMN awesome game.
Really cool mechanics, have never played a platformer like this before, awesome soundtrack. Unfortunately I was inept at judging the distance between the platforms so I couldn't even get away from the first 2 platform reliably :(
A little bit too hard, I could not survive the first room even once if I tried to fight. But hey I could just skip it by running past them :D
The next level I found some sort of secret? But I was not able to pick it up, I was not able to activate guiding lights either. And the wind mechanic was impossible to understand for me so I never got past the lava :(
Would have loved some small objective other than to just mine. Love the the sound of holding the jump button, gold.
Nice music!
@chartle I had 3 sounds for taking damage, apparently the sound for taking small amounts of damage got broken before publishing somehow, I reexported replacing the small damage sound with the medium sound.
Awesome job, I got the same ending a 3 times, I dont know if/what I did wrong, but great game nontheless :D
Super cool! Awesome tree designs. Only thing as was pointed out before is that you should not be able to stop, as it becomes too easy to get past the harder obstacles. Good job!
This was awesome, everything on point, the intro, the tutorial, the graphics, and gameplay, very impressive!
Haha this was awesome, after the first few fails I got the hang of it and managed to harvest everything I needed. I.. AM.. GRAVER THE HARVESTER!!!
The graphics was super cool and very nice voice acting as well.
There is more to this game than meets the eye. 5/5 mood
Love the stupid concept lol :joy:
I really liked the animations of the vegetables and i liked the fact that you kept your progression even though you died, because I got totally wrecked by the melons over and over :sweat_smile: But after a while I developed an efficient farming strategy :sunglasses:
I also liked that it was calm background music and a switch to combat music, added a lot to the mood.
A small annoyance for me was that you got stuck on walls instead of sliding past them, it felt a bit wrong with how the game played otherwise.
Just a note that the sound levels were a bit too high, I needed to adjust it for the application in sound mixer. And for some reason it showed up as two different applications with one of the playing even though the game is minimized but the other didnt :thinking:
Best submission so far, this was a fully fledged game! I beat the boss after 14 days :sunglasses: So much small details, awesome graphics and sound, well thought out gameplay that was well balanced, and you wanted to keep going to test out all the abilities! Awesome work!
Super cool idea, the end screen was very laggy so it was hard to enjoy my harvest :sweat_smile:
I got stuck on the sidewalks and punched a little too many random people because the collision and movement was a bit janky. I really liked the randomly generated people and the graphics!
Lol :joy:
BEST: 8579! I really liked this game, awesome sound effects, simplicity and graphics! Only thing that was missing was a connection to the theme really :sweat_smile:
Very nice 3D models, the harvester was particularly cool, very cute 2D drawings and nice music as well! I did not manage to understand how the bees worked :thinking: but I managed to get to heaven in the end anyways :)
Great mechanics and ideas, (swapping tools, defending the plants, needing to tend the plants). But I found it a bit hard in a sense that I did not know what to do really. The items in the lab could have had some texts over them describing them (or their usage). The pixel graphics were also great, but one thing that was a tiny bit weird to me was the mix in resolution, I personally think it is better to stick to the same resolution on everything.
Awesome job!
After level 16 which i failed at 99% I still do not understand how the % disorder is calculated :sweat_smile: It was fun, but as I didn't understand the disorder % really, some of the levels were very slow as I just mindlessly ran around exploding and dashing and magnetizing.
Pretty awesome, I spent way too much time trying to optimize the ramp haha. I was a little confused at what the ultimate goal was (obviously getting as many followers/souls, and more than the tentacle, but the actual win-condition) Then I was a little confused at first at what the currency was. All in all, would be a writhing mass of eyes and flesh again 5/5 humor.
Nice art, but it was just a matter of spamming space for 10 minutes straight :sweat_smile:
Solid foundation, awesome 3d models! I have not played many games like this but it was fun to figure out what you could get away with (how close to guards you could walk/run) and how you could escape even though the guards were alerted.
Hell yeah, I created an army of mushroom dudes and escaped :sunglasses:
Super cute art and nice animations!
Some very basic sound effects would have added a lot, I recommend https://sfxr.me/ for easily creating your own.
I liked the idea but it was a bit too slow for a Ludum Dare game, would have needed to spend a couple of hours to reach my imagined goals :sweat_smile:
This was insane, the back story was gold. I harvested 893.5 poo with my hands.... gross. That the goblins just consumed all the poo in their path was my downfall. Should probably have moved out and hunted them down all around the map as they were approaching instead of waiting for the to the last moment.
I loved this game haha. Simple, great playthrough, not too long and overly complicated, clear goal, good humor. The only thing I would have liked to see is some sort of behavioural difference between the different golems.
It was a bit too hard to understand, but when I think I got the hang of it I pressed "V" and the state of the world changed randomly. The mouse sensitivity was crazy. I liked the music and the 3d graphics.
Awesome graphics, I liked the main characters crazy eyes, and the cabbits and mootermelons were super cute!
As @parkuhrmd put it "geniunely unsetteling" describes this perfectly. Very cool, sad that it was so short.
I like sasquatch.
As previous comments said, the restart at level 1 was a bit too harsh. Otherwise it was a great game, solid guard detection and sneak mechanics.
I liked the fact that the game continued while in the bag and that it was transparent so you could see guards approaching while reordering your goods.
Good job!
I liked the graphics and the cable connection mechanic. Mouse/camera movement was a bit annoying.
Very nice, solid submission. I would have liked it if everything was a bit quicker, and maybe the music could have been a little more hectic and gladiator-arena like.
How do I move the table legs one I have unpacked them?
I do not seem to be able to assemble the table legs with the table top either.
Really really good. Awesome theme and fitting music.
Had to try it even though I only have a touch pad at the moment. Really solid game, everything seems polished. Awesome work!
This was possibly the most enjoyable Ludum Dare game I have played.
Awesome graphics, music, humor, just enough variety and perfect play cycle/difficulty ramping.
I especially liked the tail attack and the fact that you are a monster in a monster truck.

Very fun!
I found myself playing this quite a while, surprisingly fun to try to earn a profit every shipping session. Good work!
This was great, had a few laughs, got stuck on the impossible quiz (even though I think I got the answer), but managed to get through randomly. Awesome music and I loved the humor. Just the right amount of text.
Didn't understand how to finish the level with the elevator under construction :thinking:
@madbarron hotkeys for buying/selling is a very good idea, that did not occur to me at all during development :thinking:
Great game, and reasonably hard/long.
I still have it running, I don't trust you for a second.
I liked the concept, and the back story, and I love games within games.
I would play this puzzle game on my phone, because it was really interesting.
As for game design: the first 3 puzzles should not have been randomized and much much easier. There was too many things going immediately, the puzzles should have introduced one new concept at a time, instead of needing to read up and understand everything from the start.
I only managed to finish the first puzzle :sweat_smile: A bonus point for making the speed in first person really fast :sunglasses:
I loved the aesthetic, mood, and music. It was a bit unclear how the score was calculated and what happened when you died, and then I restarted from level 1 after a while for some reason I didn't understand. I would like it if you needed to hit space to continue to the next level so you could pause and read your score before continuing.
Gameplay wise one is able to dash before the side movement finishes if you press dash too early, which results in a dash that is not where you wanted to. As the movement is discrete I assumed that the dash would wait until the movement was finished; i.e. that the dash input is queued. As it is a reaction based and fast paced, that would be better I think.
All in all a great experience, good job!
This was great! Awesome mechanics and graphics!
785! Never figured out how to dash, and accidentally reset the game because I tried to Reload a couple of times :sweat_smile:
I liked how the bullets ricocheted a little, and the laser uzi was awesome.
Good game!
"HTML5 (web)" should be a web based distribution, not just a download page for windows :sweat_smile:
This looked very cool, but I couldn't play it on my laptop with integrated graphics, I had like 1 FPS.
