This Game is awesome! I wish I had kids so they could use it to learn basic Math! Capital A Awesome!
Dunno if this was fixed or not, but the game stops you using overpower cards on yourself and taking the damage. Or if that was an update.
Hey Thanks all who have played it so far! :) It's really awesome reading the feedback.
Sadly that passing through the walls occasionally is a really annoying bug! and slow rotation on some computers is really annoying too. Sadly with work I won't have time to make things better, but next Ludum Dare for sure! :) (I'll see about sticking this on GitHub and open-sourcing it. Maybe even put up a youtube walk through of the code.)
@automatronvx yea, the original idea was to make a breakout type game, without the Paddle, but turned into this, which was pretty awesome. It's all about bounding off the walls and picking the angle that's going to work for you :) Which I thought was awesome fun.
@srakowski I really did like the "control the environment , not the player" theme, so mixed it in here. :)
Sorry just noticed the Src was broken. here it is! My bad :(
Not bad, quite challenging.
That was Awesome!
I like the ??? Which I kinda think is going for a toilet break! (in a bucket?) Doing a game jam, you don't go till you REALLY have to go. hahaha :)
Fantastic!
I had the same idea, but doubt I would have done it justice, you really rocked this though!
I liked this Game, fully would spend an hour or two playing this.
This was really cool!
Quite funny!
Is exactly what it says on the box :)
The time delayed chat with the receptionist had me loitering around the desk desperate to see what the next line of dialog was! :)
Fun for a couple of minutes
Pretty cool! :)
I also did a Roomba inspired Game :) but your game has way better graphics and sound :)
I enjoyed this!
I beat the game in maybe two minutes?
Pretty cool, sound's got a bit annoying, needed a few different sounds in there.
Didn't see if there was a way to lose, or a way to win until I had pretty much beat everything.
The idea was cool, and the art was awesome! the character looks like he is actually a folded up piece of paper.
Audio really suited the game, really nice.
When I landed my first bunch of elves in the Workshop, and saw the explosion of Red, Green and White I thought I had killed my elves :)
Overall this is a really cool game! excellent entertainment.
Pretty cool!
I really like that you can go under furniture and things.
Pretty cool, quite challenging.
Liked the multiple characters and animations.
Felt a little too easy to brush against a spike and die. Might have been more fun with 'health'
Interesting, couldn't get very far but it was cool.
Would have been nice if Gravity was more 'down' but definitely a playable game :)
Was fun. It was over a bit too quickly, I played through about five rounds before just being completely over run, which felt like only 30 seconds.
Otherwise the idea was fun, the music was pretty good too.
Overall, enjoyable and amazing work for 48 hours.
The Audio is pretty awesome overall, Really like the chime when you hit the salt.
That Shotgun Dude!!!
102 Kills
That was pretty Awesome!
There does not appear to be a shop? Wish there was some way to use the money I was making.
Very challenging and quite a lot of fun.
I kinda wished there was something new in this, but it really is just fighting a swarm.
It's a perfectly playable game, very fast, very challenging, over all it's a good game for 48 hours.
Pretty good, I can see this being an app-store game really easily! go for it!! dooo it! :)
Glad you enjoyed :) and yea that bug :-/ I want to fix it, but don't feel like it's with the rules. :(
Pluto drifting off screen :) I did try to fix that, but think I broke it again later haha :) oh well at least it will +1 to the humor I hope :) Thank you and I'm so glad you enjoyed playing the game!
Thanks :) I made hitting a ship, or hitting the planet the only way that bullets are destroyed, I kinda hope it catches a few people off guard, something new and exciting :) (or terrible and exhilarating either is good) But either way, hopefully someone find it fun to play with a new tactic. Glad you didn't hit the bug as above.
Hah :) If I had of had the time and skill, I would have animated a face into the game that read you the story, it would have been a non (tm)/(c) face like that :)
This is really cool! I tried to code Gravity and Orbit in my game, but it's nowhere near as nice as yours.
Ahh... Feels like I got trolled. Was not even 30 seconds, before I got vomited at.
Very cool! one of the few games I've played multiple times!
Hey @rocketship - I spotted your game on Friday, and thought 'yea why not', and I'm glad I did! This was awesome :) I really enjoyed trying to be a nice guy, which you didn't make easy :P [I streamed the play-through on Friday](https://youtu.be/-DEvWdMWCKk?t=10243), you might enjoy watching :)
Hey @brorawr, @granlord, and @bejk - [you put your game on my list to play](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/end-of-time/whos-not-had-any-love-link-your-game-for-me-to-play), and [I streamed the play-through on Friday](https://youtu.be/-DEvWdMWCKk?t=4912), The music was pretty cool! The visuals were great, and the pressure was way high! :) overall it was a fun play-through. I realized almost straight away that the game would let you just pump the gray and water, and only hit the fuel when it was getting low. So the challenge was a little low, it made it kinda button mashy, but I think it's close to that 'complicated' fun, where if you implemented a 'real' triangle between water, gray and fuel, you could make the player try to run closer to the balance or edge. And it would be more challenging/fun. That being said, you might already have the triangle, in which case, just a little more feedback from the game (the graph was cool) :)
@BroRawr, Oh, I thought you just listened for when he yawned :) lol. I thought that was nice mechanic :P but now I know haha :)
And yea, my audio was terrible, never done this before. So much to learn :)
Hey @aaranos @crhis, @e-jp - [you put your game on my list to play](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/end-of-time/whos-not-had-any-love-link-your-game-for-me-to-play), and [I streamed the play-through on Friday](https://youtu.be/-DEvWdMWCKk?t=6035), It was fun, a little challenging, unfortunately I hit the box bug a couple of times (I was playing the fixed version, so.. yea..) Overall it seemed like an interesting game and I'll probably give it another go when I'm having a relax for myself, and see if I can find the story about why the planet is going to explode.
Pretty cool, I really like the idea!
Hey @gamepopper - [you put your game on my list to play](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/end-of-time/whos-not-had-any-love-link-your-game-for-me-to-play), and [I streamed the play-through on Friday](https://youtu.be/-DEvWdMWCKk?t=7760), You were there, so you already know about it :) - But anyway, it's there if you want to watch. I'm still working on winning it :)
Pretty cool overall, I really like the ending sound effect
Not bad, I like how the creeps feel like they are actually moving down a hallway getting bigger, and the light which is really nice and round when it's on the edge of the screen, is really diffuse as it gets to the back of the tunnel! well done :)
Would be nice to be able to set of use a different set of keys, I use a UK layout keyboard, but my windows is US layout, so looking for the / was difficult (sounds silly but I always struggle with which slash is which)
Hey @gamezero, and @mildmunitions - [you put your game on my list to play](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/end-of-time/whos-not-had-any-love-link-your-game-for-me-to-play), and [I streamed the play-through on Friday](https://youtu.be/-DEvWdMWCKk?t=4367), If you're interested in watching how it went, unfortunately I got a bit lost, and I'm not great with suspense/horror. I think I had some issues with the ability to fight the huggers off, I don't use/own a gamepad, so the keymap might have been designed for that?...
Anyway, it was a nice solid game.
Hey @red-fan-games Thanks for the game :) was a lot of fun to play, you put it on [my list](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/end-of-time/whos-not-had-any-love-link-your-game-for-me-to-play), and I streamed a play of it on Friday. If you want to watch, though I don't strafe jump :) I had a lot of fun [YouTube](https://youtu.be/-DEvWdMWCKk?t=180)
Hey @thygrrr, I know you didn't actually [put a link in to your](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/end-of-time/whos-not-had-any-love-link-your-game-for-me-to-play) game :) but since you were in the list :) I thought, 'why not', so If you're interested in watching my play-thorough [I did a stream, and here's where I played your game](https://youtu.be/-DEvWdMWCKk?t=2218) --- Oh I just read the comment above, Gamepopper was in my stream :) He witnessed my total failure to actually stream the gameplay the first time round :P (shhhh, noone knows I failed...)
Yea I had uploaded the video and went to bed lol :) thought I had better go tell people I played :) It's so much fun seeing someone play your game (I can't help but laugh when they think you did something really smart, but you didn't even think of it).
Love the Camera control, so smooth and just right for the game. Your algorithm is awesome!
Hey @alxm - I was setting up to stream a few games when I spotted your game on Friday, now this is my kind of game :), and [I streamed the play-through on Friday](https://youtu.be/-DEvWdMWCKk?t=9547) (Sorry no sound :( I kinda messed up) but you can get to see how I played if you're interested, I really enjoyed it! It was a bit easy to find a balance by winning wars and paying nobles, but that being said, I didn't try actually being a despot and letting my people revolt! which maybe I will the next time I play it (And I think there will be a next time, I really enjoyed it)
Hey @harusame - [you put your game on my list to play](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/end-of-time/whos-not-had-any-love-link-your-game-for-me-to-play), and [I streamed the play-through on Friday](https://youtu.be/-DEvWdMWCKk?t=7423), I like the idea, and I really looked forward to playing it, It's pretty hard, so the balance feels off, or just ramps up too fast, but I'm sure a bit of practice and I would also get good at it. Really nice idea, and feels like something that would be awesome multiplayer.
Very cool! I like it already. I'll give it a good play on Friday and see if I can get a nice ship together :)
Same as most of the above, there was a learning curve, and I don't really get what's up with the power-flow and the numbers, but that being said; this is a great game! Very impressive the amount of content and art (not an artist myself), I like the mechanics! :)
Game seemed to slow down as I built more parts, or just as time passed (noticeable within 5 minutes of play).
But that didn't stop me from having this open all evening, and I'm only stopping now because I have work in the morning :)

Hey @deathray - [you put your game on my list to play](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/end-of-time/whos-not-had-any-love-link-your-game-for-me-to-play), and [I streamed the play-through on Friday](https://youtu.be/-DEvWdMWCKk?t=2847), didn't get as far through as I did when I played it before, but thought you might like to see the little bit of gameplay :)
Aww :) Thank you :) (woohoo! Loving this game!)
Ok I don't seem to be able to update my entry, but the URL (which took a while to redirect) is www.TolMera.com - :)
Woohoo I'm tailing the log file on my server, and watching people connect! It's Awesome! @Saithir you're my first recorded player! (not forgetting about December Dogs though)
Woohoo these are so Cool to read! Thank you, I'm going to update the instructions and give some play guidance.
Woohoo these are so Cool to read! Thank you, I'm going to update the instructions and give some play guidance.
Thank you @Jupiter_Hadley , It was very cool to watch the play when I got back from work! totally made my afternoon :)
Aww It's so COOL reading your feedback :)
I think if I was to do anything more with this, I would link it to Twitter (never got that far), and have it so the players could post questions that would appear in the left side! make it a bit more interesting. (Would have to actively vet the questions though :-/)
@widdershinscrustacean (wow what a name) I'm happy to find someone else who likes the book! And, are you sure Googles not Sentient? ;)
@badly-drawn-rod (lol, nice name). I think that overloaded office job was the feeling I was going for, you're meant to be answering all of humanities questions :) so yea :) Awesome!
@Devastus Yea, feedback could be better.. research I think I left fairly mysterious. If you read the short story, you will see the theme behind the game, and maybe you'll see more of the research you should do, But otherwise I think it's all about trial and error. (There is a way to win - I'll post it up after the judging)
@alejandrodlsp - Awesome :) that's pretty good going, half an hour is a fair bit of time.
@pklaschka - Yea, that button jumping away and clicking another, that was annoying, I think CSS animations would have been good - but I'm a pretty naff designer. It's something for me to work on :) Otherwise I'm glad you liked it :)
@deathray - You Dictator! What did you do to your poor people? haha :) I hope you found the message funny :) It happens when you make them unhappy, and not answering their questions, it makes them unhappy :P :)
@Thygrrr - Go Rockstar! :)
@red-fan-games - There is a lot of text :) I kinda ran out of ideas for things humanity could ask the machine, not a creative writer myself :) Glad it got a couple of plays though :)
@piscythe - Dude You are Awesome! I'm so glad you dived in there and had a look behind the curtain! You'll have seen there is an ending for "Kill all humans" :) I love that you found more than just the death by entropy ending :) - Regarding research, I think you have 3~5 researches you can get wrong, but some bugs in there can trip stuff out (people telling you to research something you have already researched.) Thank you SO much for playing :) I'm stunned someone played it so many times :)
@ - Everyone Else :) - Thank you for playing as well! You're all awesome and I feel really overwhelmed! Thank you!
Hey @oab - [you put your game on my list to play](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/end-of-time/whos-not-had-any-love-link-your-game-for-me-to-play), and [I streamed the play-through on Friday](https://youtu.be/-DEvWdMWCKk?t=4788), The game was a bit shorter than I expected, but it was fun. I thought about it a while after playing it and realized the the style of animation was actually really hard to pull off, and that you had done an excellent job! Thank you for the game. :) I learned something by playing it and appreciate it a lot.
Hey @aemiliu5, @thesheepster - [you put your game on my list to play](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/end-of-time/whos-not-had-any-love-link-your-game-for-me-to-play), and [I streamed the play-through on Friday](https://youtu.be/-DEvWdMWCKk?t=6523), I really liked the name and idea of the game. I'm not a fan of the logo though, it looks like someone giving the finger, and that's not a great first impression (not great at all).
Otherwise though, I liked the game, it needs a bit more feedback, and a few hover prompts, but I liked the idea, trying to take over the city :)
Wooooowwwww!!! Dude I've never been in such suspense when looking at blocks! The story was great! The guy at the start who's scared of the flickering light! the child talking to it's daddy. So many little victories as well, from the first climb to flip the switch for the elevator! To that gut drop feeling when the floor falls away from you! wooooww :)
High points for graphics as well, you tied it all together so well, the change in tempo when you reach the reactor door, everything! it's brilliant.
I thought when I reached the end of the shaft and heard the conversation, "oh well I must be able to drop in behind the reactor door, just a different way in" Ended up having to do the climb again :) But it was so worth it.
Hah this is awesome, I got eaten by the black hole! Only the front character seems to give direction, and took me a while to figure out it was an arrow not a radar :) very cool
Pretty cool, puzzle packing! :) I like
Very Very cool! The Shadow the first time I saw it! wow
Hey @jeremy-ryan - [you put your game on my list to play](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/end-of-time/whos-not-had-any-love-link-your-game-for-me-to-play), and [I streamed the play-through on Friday](https://youtu.be/-DEvWdMWCKk?t=10691), - Unfortunately I had no idea what I was doing, Leaving me to calibrate the game just meant that I probably got it wrong right from the start. I liked the idea, I liked the graphics and monsters, wish I could have gotten further, but just couldn't get the rhythm.. sorry.
Hey @freedom-is-slavery - [you put your game on my list to play](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/end-of-time/whos-not-had-any-love-link-your-game-for-me-to-play), and [I streamed the play-through on Friday](https://youtu.be/-DEvWdMWCKk?t=8632), I'm not personally a fan of this kind of game, but I can see and appreciate the challenge. You had some good graphics, Same chargers but in different colours and so forth, which kinda through me for a bit, but added to the complexity and was pretty nice when I thought about it later. I couldn't see if there was a pattern to the phones coming in, or if they were just being randomly generated? If they were planned, it would have been nice to get some in-game feedback about your progress. :) but overall it was a solid game.
Hey @schu - [you put your game on my list to play](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/end-of-time/whos-not-had-any-love-link-your-game-for-me-to-play), and [I streamed the play-through on Friday](https://youtu.be/-DEvWdMWCKk?t=4097), Thought you might like to see. It was a bit though to play because it's got a lot of trial and error running, but I did like the mechanic, I think it had a lot going for it, and if you have the patience, it's a good game. Pretty solid :)
Hey @alejandrodlsp - [you put your game on my list to play](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/end-of-time/whos-not-had-any-love-link-your-game-for-me-to-play), and [I streamed the play-through on Friday](https://youtu.be/-DEvWdMWCKk?t=11292), Was pretty good, I liked the audio, I really think it suits the game and adds to the suspense. The mechanics were pretty good, overall I enjoyed it :)
Hey @nbitsstudio - [you put your game on my list to play](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/end-of-time/whos-not-had-any-love-link-your-game-for-me-to-play), and [I streamed the play-through on Friday](https://youtu.be/-DEvWdMWCKk?t=5310), I'm not a very good driver, but I liked the mechanics, A little more feedback (maybe audio?) when you hit the breaks, would be cool, but otherwise it's nice! Very nicely done in the 48 hours, I was really impressed to see the car get reset when it ended up on its roof :) And the jumps were a really nice touch!
Hey @veak - [you put your game on my list to play](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/end-of-time/whos-not-had-any-love-link-your-game-for-me-to-play), and [I streamed the play-through on Friday](https://youtu.be/-DEvWdMWCKk?t=11644), I managed to find the teleport which was nice. Overall I think your game really suited the theme, and was well put together, I don't know if there were any traps or anything else 'inside' the maze (other than the inanimate snakes, but I think seeing other things running around would have made it so much scarier :)
Pretty good game!
Was Interesting. The Graphics are nice, the sounds for the person walking and jumping were there. Movement was a bit fast but manageable. Didn't get any depth feedback from the environment so using the polearm was a bit random.
Didn't actually interact with anything? Found the alter and though "Let me check the controls" Then 4 kids beat me up :P
Damn, thats a good game
Feels like you're playing the monster. Not a nice feeling. Game wise, this has a reasonably good and responsive interface. Theres obviously some story that's going on, not sure how deep you need to dive into this before the story becomes apparent.
It's interesting mechanically.
Gave it a try, it animated smoothly though I kept getting stuck on the edges of walls, and when trying to jump uphill I would end up leaping backwards?
Seems like it would be an interesting puzzel/explore game with a little more development.
Pretty good game. I like how you tied it in with the theme! :)
I got 32 across at my best. I liked the little wave animation you put in when the guys actually get to their ship!
think this could have been more interesting if it was put in a 'real' setting, like a kids room with boxes and toys to navigate around, instead of being esoteric environment. But that being said, it was still good.
The Swinging platform was an excellent trap! nicely done.
Overall, a reasonably good game and something I would recomend others try.
Not a bad little game, took a few minutes to figure out the mechanics, I ended up sitting in one corner waiting for the goblins to pile up, then knocking a huge number off the map with one swing. (That was fun :))
Hey @deathray I played your LD 39 game (Star Hopper Crank), and was really looking forward to seeing what you managed to make for LD40. The games got an interesting feel, though I think it appeals more to peoples aesthetics than actually being mechanics driven. It's an interesting game, that might have been better with polish, but I stuggled to find the fun. I dug a deep hole, dropped a bunch of fires down, then focused on the move command to send mutants to the surface, while everyone else just milled around. Will look forward to your next LD game.
Yea the executable is large. I think Game maker has already compressed most of the audio which accounts for... well all of the size really (there's a lot of audio in there, probably close to an half hour at high quality). So I've tried compressing the games exec, and the source, but the difference was in the 2~3MB range.
@markopolodev anything speciffic you think I should write into the game page to give a better explanation? Obviously an outside pair of eyes can see what I as the developer cant see.
@markopolodev - sounds like a youtube is in order :) Can't rewrite the game now since that would be outside the spirit of the jam/compo. But maybe next time. Thanks for the recomendations
For @gassain @azuredraco I've patched the Escape bug, can't believe I misnamed a variable :-/ I also fixed another bug that crashed the game when you killed a mob who's spawner you had also killed.... that one sucked.
Yea Game Maker is not a good platform to build on for Ludum Dare. They lock you out of deploying for Web Browsers unless you pay in blood. Well, money, but they might take blood.
Sounds like the Art and Music are clearly this teams strong suit :) Thanks :)
And I've patched the game so you can hit "enter" to restart if you die. (see patch notes)
So Juicy that is sticks ;) There's screen shake on Monster Levels 8 and 10, thought they were going to be an Ogre and a Dragon. I didn't have the time to do the Art :) Thanks for the feedback! :) (Kaitila)
@nax_89 try redownloading the game? Or maybe you're going too close to the spawners, they attack from a distance (I didn't have time to put the animation in)
@deathray - sorry but not with the Game Maker License that I have, if anyone else (with the appropriate license on Game Maker) can make this a Web Version for me??? Anyone? That would be "A" for Awesome!
Pretty good. Hard to figure out the mechanics at the beginning. Nice entry over all.
Congratulations!
Is what you had playable? If so this looks interesting and I would happily give it a try.
Looks interesting and would have given it a try if you had download links.
As a point of interest and for the sake of sharing knowledge, I wrote something that had a lot of trees and repeating sprites a while ago. I found if I implemented some perlin noise (not too hard to find in any language) And adjusted the green/brown of my trees using the noise, I get a less repetitive effect. I also randomly nerfed the height/width of the trees within a margin just randomly which really broke off the repitition. Take a look at my profile header on twitter @TolMera to see what I mean
Good enough for me to play it a couple of times, I like that you have the Damage Triangle, nicely animated mobs. Good tie in to the theme. Overall quite well done :)
Interesting game, plays nicely though it's a bit hard to get started
Pretty good, I don't know what caused me ot get more colours, but it was cool and evenutally I got cornered :)
Reasonably good game. I like the audio, it suits the environment very well. And the Art was nicely done.
The mechanic that had you jump from one surface to another, or start going up/down walls was a bit slugish (lol). Feel like if that had been more polished (which is not easy and I appreciate that) then this woul have been a very playable game.
Overall, it's a nice entry and worth trying out! :) well done.
Gave it a try, it's nice little game. The physics are nice, very ice skate feeling. Sadly I'm not a good shot with the ship, it turns a little fast for me to be able to aim long shots, so feels like I had to skirt clost to everything to get a shot off at it.
I died a couple of times when passing over the planet, or just randomly in space. Think maybe asteroids spawned right on top of me, or were hidden behind the planet.
I liked the teleport zones, though I didn't understand them very well.
Your Art was very nice, and I would certainly be interested in what you make in the future.
It's a nicely done little game. Smooth Animation, turrets that all act independently. 'real' bullets that seem to have a small particle effect. Pretty good over all. Though, oh for the love of Mercy that music! haha :) Very nice for a first LD game, congrats
Interesting, a bit difficult to get your head around, but worth trying out. I always enjoy trying amoeba games.
This was a really nice game! Smooth, good sound effects (I liked how the pitch between gems). Difficulty jumped a bit too quickly, I would have liked to have been able to play for longer and dodge more.
Nice, very nice!
Pretty cool. I like the Alpha Bear! Red Glowing Eyes! :)
Nice array of audio effects Good mechanic where the more ships you collect against your shield, the more they drag your speed and manuverability down. Also increases your surface area, making it easy to collect more against you. Eventually they pushed me off the back of the screen.
Interesting game, I like the take on the Theme. Feels like something that would have done well from some procedural generation of the map, and a 'full screen' where I could have played with more area.
Overall, I really enjoyed this. Well done! :)
Pretty cool! enjoyed it :) was it just me or did the music get faster?
It was fun to a point. Kinda feels like something I would point someone to when they say 'Hey you can program, could you do X' Then have them play this so they know, Oh.. health isn't just built in. And oh, deaths not built in either!
Overall, I like the game :) I would love to see it expanded on!
Nice enough. I think upping the players speed a little would make it more fun, because keeping the donkey close slows you down anyway. Pretty good over all.
The Graphics are nice, controls are smooth. I got Donkey stuck behind a tree once, but figured out how to coax him back.
I installed this game, but it want's odd network access tools. And the "Game Maker" logo it shows you when it starts, well... it's not from any recent version of Game Maker. This 'feels' very... uncomfortable to install. I can't say anything definitive, but it makes me uncomfortable
I tried the game, but the "j" key didn't appear to do anything. Seemed like a nice idea for a game
You should also package your game into 1 zip file, it was difficult to get running because I had to download the two files, which in the process ended up getting nested. More difficult than it should have been.
That typing sound!!! That Damn typing sound. I was like Garr! click. And I missed a piece of the dialogue! more Garrarrarr... Pressed the "back button" and was like "Wow, that worked, I wen't 'back' from the game, back into the dialogue!" If that was not a 'feature' you built in, then it's a damn good bug! :)
Got pretty close to the goal, I was left with the Engineer and the cook, kinda felt like they both deserved to live more than me as Capitain.
Even though I'm a professional programmer, spend at minimum 8 hours a day typing, and have been at a computer daily for most of my life. I still struggle with these games! they are fun :) they are challenging.
I don't really get the tie in to the theme. I would get it if hitting a key didn't kill that letter on all the zombies. so you had to be faster, get faster. but otherwise the link is a bit weak sorry to say.
Overall, a nice entry for the LD40 :) nicely done!
Heat game, I really like that the weapon changes colour with the room, though It would be cool if the weapon remained the colour of the room you bought it in, just so you knew how long it had been since it was upgraded.
@764hotshot
New instructions have been added to the description above and here for your refference
How to play the game. Go to the Github page Fork my repo Go to where you want to download the game to in oyur file system `git clone https://github.com/${{Yous Username Here}}/psukhe-survival.git` Inside the newly created "psukhe-survival" folder, you have two subfolders: "server" and "client" If you're just wanting to play, head into the "client" folder.
You're going to need nodejs, npm, typescript to launch/play the game. If you don't have node, head to https://nodejs.org/en/download/ or use your favourite version management software to download nodejs. Node comes bundles with "NPM" (Node Package Management) - so in a terminal type "npm install -g tsc" which will install typescript on your machine. I recommend "npm install -g tsc-watch" and "npm install -g nodemon" which are both handly little tools for auto-compiling your code and auto-running your code when you make changes, so there's no manual compile and run delays.
in a terminal navigate into the client folder and run "tsc" which will run typescript's compiler. cd build ^^^ Will move you into the build directory that tsc created. node index.js ^^^ Will run the game
You're not going to see too much for 30 seconds, just a spawn message and waiting. Once your character gets hungry or thirsty, they are going to start eploring looking for food/water. Playing the game means looking inside the "src" folder, and scripting your AI to be better at survival/hunting/running than other people's AI's.
Cheatsheet /src/controller/mind contains the current 'what to do when X happens' code, which is pretty simple. /src/controller/eye || ear || nose - these are empty templates linked to eye, ear and nose events. You'll use these as you start to evolve. /src/controller/intent - This contains all of the actions that you can perform. From moving, eating and drinking to evolving your creature. Expand the client as much as you like, feel free to develop in other languages or in other ways. The only caveat being that you need to be able to communicate with the server, so check out socket.io which the server is using for network comms.
Good luck, and happy hunting
@ariel-meylan
Hi Ariel, I'm glad you like the idea, and thanks for the comment, it made me see that the instructions had not formatted themselves very well.
Hopefully you can still enjoy the game, and hopefully the instructions are a bit more surmountable once they have been better formatted. I'm likely also going to do a simple youtube video at some point, showing some coding and writing a simple AI to live a little longer (until someone can hunt it down) . So maybe if nothing else you might enjoy when I do that.
@edshotmachine
Yes, that's a non-error error on typescripts behalf. What it means is that typescript can't find the definitions for node, so it does not know what functions and variables etc pre-exist in node.
You should be able to make this error go away by running
npm install @types/node --save
In the same folder that you ran tsc.
**You're one step away from being able to run the game**
All you need to do now is cd into the build folder and run node index to start a character running around.
When you have someone running around, you can go to http://ec2-52-56-250-10.eu-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/ and look for the black dot on the map - thats your character.
I really hope you have fun doing a little coding and making an awesome character who can actually survive.
Wow you made this with a huge team, and it looks awesome! Can you compile it for any other platform? I would really like to try it out, but don't have a windows machine.
Thats a pretty cool game, I like how the speed seemed to get a bit higher as the day gets longer? And at first I thought it was only a 1 button game because of how everything came form one side on the first couple of days, but then the third day it changed, so I was pretty happy with that :)
I like the animation and the sounds, they are really well done. The sound of typing is a nice touch, and the "Hooy Yo".
It's not something that I could lose an hour to, but it's a really good result for the jam, and seems well polished.
Improvements, I would speed up the kick a little, so if I missed on the first kick I might get a second kick in before losing that item.
I would like to try it, any chance you can compile this for other platforms?
Looks interesting and similar to my game, I would like to play it but it's only available in EXE. Are you able to compile this for another platform?
Any chance of compiling to another platform? It sounds interesting, and would like to ry it but I don't have windows
Looks cool, nice story. Any chance of compiling it to other platforms? Would like to try it out but don't have windows.
@selftitled Any chance of a Web executable or Max version? I don't have a PC but this game looks pretty awesome and I would like to give it a try.
@tommislav any chance of compiling this for Mac? I don't have a PC but I would like to give it a try.
@tommislav If you can tell me how to do it, I'll build it on my mac and export it to you.
@bentglasstube That's a cool game! I like. You could probably use this to teach people very basic programming.
@pythong - looks like it would have been an interesting game to play. I like the other dead duck :) Or is that me and I'm meant to wake up from the butchers table?
The transitions were not to bad on my machine, but I did vanish at one point when I walked off the screen.
@evergreen-games it's a solid entry! you should really play a few more games and get your ranked a little more. I think you'll get a really good score if you get a little more exposure.
I struggled to play on my QWERTY, but enjoyed it as far as I got.
@velvetlobster Thanks for the feedback :) I'm going to have to go and read more about Proteus. When I knocked the game together I didn't have (I still don't have) a stylus for my tablet, so the art style arose by my fat finger painting (finger painting over A4 sketches that I scanned into my PC). It's really blown me away to see how people like it, and especially in your comment :) thank you.
@simon-rahnasto Thank you :) I'm glad you also enjoyed me game haha :)
That 3D effect you mention, I didn't expect it at the time either, I was wanting to implement parallax originally, but the idea morphed and changed as I began the implementation.
I'm glad you mention "bothering" the Shaeman, that is exactly what I had in mind, the Shaeman is a lazy thief, and he won't send you to the after life until you annoy him enough.
In the original plan, I wanted the Shaeman to have stolen the coins from your grave, which is why you could not cross on the ferry (the guys above the chief talk about the shaeman stealing coins). Then I was going to get the Shaeman to take the bag of silvers from the chief, drop two on each grave, then you would be able to cross over. Later (prologue) you would see the Shaeman picking the coins back up to steal them, something would happen (lightening probably) and the Shaeman would become a trapped spirit as well.
Anyway, thanks for playing the game :)
@derek-volker
It depends on your screen size. But try opening the web browser. Wait for the game to load, then resize it horizontally to half your screen. Give it a minute to settle, and you should have the game ready to play. Sorry I tried to put this in the game notes, but didn't seem to communicate it well. Would really love it if you could give it another try, and hopefully get it working if for nothing other than the screen transitions which I think are really good.
Thank you for the feedback though.
Hey @finlal Looks like you have a lot of art work, and the artwork looks pretty good! Even though you don't have a finished and playable game, it might be worth doing a youtube video of someone running though it so we can see it in action? And failure does not mean you don't deserve a ranking, even though the game did not come together, there's still art and sound and mechanics and the idea, they are all worth getting a ranking :)
Would love to see this when it's done, as it looks like a really classic RPG with great art.
@sloan-kelly - I gave your game a try, it's actually pretty good. I half shat myself when the lightening struck! talk about setting the mood.
It seems like a nice idea, and I like the font as well.
Thanks for the game :)
Hey @royallion, @jeejo-pallayi, @good-enough
So I downloaded the source code, though if nothing else it would be worth looking and seeing what the Idea had been.
I'm honestly not sure what the idea was, but from the name, and the couple of assets that I can see, it looked like maybe something where all the planets, animals etc were origami? It's a shame the game didn't make it further, but hearing what the ideas was would still be interesting.
I really like the background in "BlankCreditScene.png" which looks pretty awesome for just two colour. The Sprite sheet with the Origami animals is also pretty cool. I love the look of the T-rex, the use of different shades to give them dimension works really well. It's an art style that could be a real winner. Hopefully y'all do the next jam, it would be awesome to see what you can come out with after this experience.
Oh, I wanted to rate the games art but you don't have that option enabled? Well I thought the art was cool anyway.
Pretty cool :) I like that your maps are procedural. I think you need a test in place to check that there are resources around the crash site, or the player will die a few times on the first crash site (like I did) because there's no resources within range. It would also be nice to be able to jump back in the ship to get a refill of oxygen.
I really like the re-entry effects as well, when you hit a planet with an atmosphere, you have reentry, but when you hit a planet without atmosphere there's no re-entry effect. A nice little touch (I only saw it was missing on the first crash though, so not sure it it's truely as I saw it to be)
I finally got shot out of the air by the alien, it would be nice if I could outrun them, or accelerate away from them. I found the only effective defence to be a hard spin which would throw the missiles off because they can't turn as hard as I could.
Overall, pretty cool game, nice idea, seems pretty solid too. Well done.
@rainsong @jess-mess or @wietsevb
If you have source code to upload it's still worth doing. If you have art or sounds or anything, it's worth uploading them and we can still give feedback. I just found another game a minute ago that didn't have a finished product, but their art is still good
@elliottd
Looks like an interesting idea. I like the death animation where the hat flips, and the animations in general are really good.
If you have a source we can look at It would be interesting to take a look at what other assets you created of any interesting mechanics you built.
@guitarbro That was pretty cool!
Loved the smokey mist you have going on, that's pretty awesome and I would love to know how you did it. The attack animation for the slimes was epic the first time one hit me, really aggressive look on the attack, very nice. Sound was ok, I think having multiple attack sounds or multiple creature "grarr" sounds make for a much nicer audio experience, so that' the only thing I would have spent a little more time on.
Overall the games really good, mood wise you're getting high points, the whole creepy atmosphere really works! Well done.
@jeffalot Any chance of a Mac version or a Web version? I would love to give it a try but only have a Mac or Chrome.
@hsandt I love the idea, and remember starting out monkey island with similarly no insults at my disposal. It's worth keeping your voting open, and even if the game is not playable people can still look at the source for it art or sound (if there is any). Or even your list of insults and comebacks (humour)
Anyway, seemed like a cool idea! solid entry for the theme.
@nexusviper
Is there any chance of a mac version or a web version? I would like to give it a try (looks interesting) but I only have a mac
Hey @douglas-asted
Any chance of a Mac or Web version? I would like to give it a try, but don't have a Windows PC.
I totally understand your frustration with the storyline in such a short time. My game suffered the same. I have a very very very lame story, but hopefully solid mechanics.
@quentin-wittevrongel or @julien-darras
Any chance of a Mac or HTML version? I like the look of the game, but don't have a windows machine to try it out on.
Woo that was hard haha :) Well done the games pretty good. I think it would make a nice little touch screen game.
It was kinda hard to get started and I almost gave up when I could not get more hydrogen, but I eventually spotted what it was (boulders with a bit more white and kinda light coming from them)
My planet got knocked back to the stone age at least once when I got swarmed by ships :)
It's a nice game overall! well done.
Screen Shot 2019-10-08 at 7.02.37 pm.png
Pretty cool game. I really like the music, and thats kinds rare in games, but the music that you have in the background is really nice.
I kinda wish there was an explanation about the different kinds of units, I think the diamond head guys are faster?
I couldn't figure out the attacking though, when I told them to attack nearest they didn't seem to do anything except stop following me. When I dragged a group of enemy units into my crowd, a bunch of my guys and all of the enemy just exploded and wiped out half my team...
Still, the game was solid, it ran quickly and was responsive. I like the idea. Well done.
@superrubbingglue I'm not sure your deployment works, it's offering a download not a game on a website. Not sure if thats you intention, but you should change the download type if you're intending that this is a download.
Since I'm on mobile internet (expensive) I wanted to check if this would play on a web browser (or mac) before downloading it, because if it downloads and it's a windows game I'll be disappointed and have spent MB's on something I can't use etc.
@maxdmg any chance of a Mac or Web version? Game seems interesting and I would like to try it, but only have a Mac or web browser I can play on.
Sounds like it would have been an interesting game, It would have really worked with the theme of starting with nothing, if you started each level with nothing again and again.
I downloaded the source, and had a look at the art. it looks like a nice it would have had nice retro style art, I like that you have a really full animation set of tiles for the hamster. And it look like you tried to create your own font (which is really hard). It is readable so well done :)
While I can't rate much, I think this is still a good entry for the theme and it's art.
@meincrab Looks like you had some nice artwork, the fox looks cool.
It's worth putting your link in to the source code, and if theres assets etc that we can look at, you can at least get a grading on art and sound?
@phoenix-gi I think you might want to put this in the unfinished category sadly. I took a (brief) look at the source and there's only 1 actual game art asset (grey mage). If you do add more to the game or think there are any interesting mechanics for people to check out, it's work pointing them out and telling us where to look.
Good luck
@bluepixel Any chance of a Mac version? I don't have a PC - Or maybe a Web Executable?
Hey @acedio
So I tried the game but I can't figure out the controls. Give some hints in your games description would be good if you want me to give it another go.
I totally understand the time consumed by doing collisions and stuff. Try Game Maker if you're looking for a smaller learning curve than Unity. I used it for a few compo entries, and found the pre-implemented stuff like collision detection, A-Start pathing etc really helpful.
Hey @stefan6435
I downloaded the src and tried to play the game - sadly the images get blocked by CORS (wierd?)
Anyway from the tiny bit that I can see, it looks like you have some reasonable artwork, the smoke covered trees look pretty cool.
I can see a fair bit of code was done, though I'm not sure how much of it was framework and how much of it was game. A bit of advise from a seasoned programmer, look up Game patterns and anti-patterns. And how to decouple the logic of handling an input, from the logic of capturing said input. From what I could see your keyboard capture was going to become an anti-pattern.
Otherwise though, it looks like this would have been an interesting game to play. Good luck next time!
@jaquboss Any chance of a Mac or Wed version?
maxds98 (@maxds98) , Amolker (@amolker) , Bugord (@bugord) , Gaes1k (@gaes1k) , Juli (@juli) , and Nadya Khromenkova (@nadya-khromenkova) *
Any chance of a YouTube play by one of the team? I would love to see the game in action, can’t play it on my phone, but will check it out when I’m at a PC
@birdy your game link is broken :-/
@deoclecio-filho - how do you launch the game?
If you can export this for Mac or HTML then more people will be able to try it.
The idea sounds interesting, but confusing. There's hints for everyone except you where your resource is? I guess being multiplayer you can help people find theirs and they can help you find yours?
PS: Multiplayer is hard, I also did a multiplayer game, and it's hard to get people onto it all at the same time.
The story looks interesting, but your stuff is really hard to read because of the formatting. If you can fix that, and share any art or music that you have, even if the game is not finished, we can still give you a rank or give you feedback?
I like the idea
Screen Shot 2020-04-23 at 8.21.06 pm.png
Good luck next time :) Hope you can take part again
Any chance you can compile this to HTML or similar?
Sounds like an interesting idea, do you have any screenshots or similar that you can post? That game is listed as unfinished, is it playable?
Interesting and challenging, a good game as always :) Love that you make these HTML and therefor accessible to everyone :)
Thank you so much @forevertrash
I've been thinking about it, and I will see if I can launch it on Itch.io and any other game sites I can find, so we can see if I can create a player-base, so we can really experience the multiplayer power of this.
Again, thank you so much, your feedback is awesome!
XD :'( I just spent an hour recording some game play to help people play and the stupid Mac I'm on recorded not the browser window that I had open, but the wrong tab on the browser :( So annoying!!!
Sorry y'all I would have loved to give you a demo of a lot of the features and talk about a log of the idea behind the game. I might end up doing a post on the main LD thread, and I'll update the game details for now... I don't know if I'll be able to get time to do another recording. Sorry and thank you to everyone who has played my game, and who has left me some feedback, I really appreciate it and I have taken the feedback and tried to add information for you as players when I did the screen recording... *sad*
Haha, thanks @rojola - I need to do the tutorial video so it's easier for people, right now it seems a lot of people have had trouble flying, and earth is the 'only' place we can have a colony because there's no trade happening to the other planets.
Thank you @marie-launhardt
Anything particular you liked?
Thank you @marie-launhardt I really appreciate that :)
Thank you @samuli @divadyugi - your feedback is awesome :). I'm still amazed I managed to clobber so many elements together :)
For anyone else who's hosting their game via AWS behind a loadbalancer, I have to say, oh my good grief! That shit's expensive! Just got my AWS bill, and it's painful. :-/. Lesson learned.
Better solution, use one of your free 5 AWS Elastic IPs I've still got to learn how to make the elastic IP automatically jump from one machine to another if the first one shuts itself down.. But yea, I'll see about that another time.
Do you have any game screenshots or art/music that you want to link to and maybe get ranked on those? Even if the game is unfinished, the things you did work on we can rank you on. It's nice to see something :)
Was a cool game, I like the fact that the terrain damage is long lasting :)
Even if the game is not finished, do you want to share whaat the idea was and any gameplay footage you might have? It looks like you still managed to code up quite a bit, so if you have an executable or even better an HTML5 page for the game?
Any comments about your game?
Points for art :) That looks good
Hey the game sounds interesting, any chance you have some gameplay footage or an HTML version we can try? Some art music or anything you can link up on the page would be cool. even if you cant show off a finished game, you can still rank on anything you can show us
Sounds interesting, I'm curious why you don't like game engines? not that I have a dog in the fight per-se, but I'm curious.
I have also used a few engines, and honestly I should try using unity, but it feels like a giant to learn how to use it.... I mostly end up making my games in HTML because everyone can launch an HTML game. Unfortunately there are 'few' good HTML/JS game egines.
Screen Shot 2020-04-25 at 7.36.46 pm.png
Pretty cool, I like the idea and think I rocked the score?
You don't have any download link, but the game looks pretty cool, do you have any play footage or more art or sounds that you want to link up and we can rank you on them? The font is pretty cool
The game looks interesting, but you didn't put a download link down? If you have art, music or gameplay screenshots/footage, it's worth sharing if you want to rank or get feedback?
Heya @forevertrash - Nice game, I like the music and the animation, I think the Horse looked happier when I got close to it? unless that was just a timed reaction haha :)
It was a little confusing at first, but I got the hang of it and could keep the horse alive.
Really nicely done artwork, I like that you have a deep background, and full movement. Keep at it and you're going rock out some awesome games! :)
Hey Congrats @forevertrash - Looks like you're in the top 1/3 :) well done!
If you can export it to HTML5 or Mac then I can try it, it looks like an interesting idea.
Do you have a compiled version or some art/music or screenshots you want to share and get ranked/feedback on?
This looks awesome, do you have any links to Art, Music or any gameplay footage? What was the idea going to be? keep the flame alive in the rain? It looks very cool, would love to see more :)
Looks really cool, doing a little youtube is really worth-while like you did.
Can you compile for Mac or HTML? If you can I'll be able to give it a try, but cant at the moment because I don't have windows :(
Do you have a link, artwork or sound files that you would like to share and get ranked on those?
Sounds very cool, do you have any screenshots or anything you can share? Or can you compile it to HTML so more people can access it? I'm on a Mac to can't run the windows game :(
Seems interesting, so the idea being MMO is that lots of people would play and they would all be feeding "princess' at the same time?
The music is epic, Seriously who ever on your team did the music it rocks.
The art is cool too, I really like your occlusion when I walked behind the tree, I didn't expect it when my guy just vanished, was very cool. The objects although they are just a few pixels really show what the object is, and I imagine they would have had some interesting uses if you had managed to go further on the code.
Really cool game +1
Damn now that's a polished looking game wow! Nice work @paulzz @cornilious @briarwick @pixelbradii @fen-evetts @syndicat @jasond I would love the hear a podcast or a youtube about how you managed to do so much together, it looks like your team was really well made and the game is great. I look forward to playing it to the end - I think I only got to lvl 2 on this round :)
Hey, do you have any links or anything to share? Game story looks interesting - even if the game is not finished, if you can share more about it, we can still rank the game and give you feedback.
It's worth putting a link in to your source code if you have it, or writing more into the blurb, you can still get a rank on the Innovation, Theme, Graphics (if you art) and mood.
If you have nice music, share it, we can rank you on that at least?
I know your pain when it comes to circules. I fortunately learned the math in a previous LD, so I knew what I needed and even though I had to google, I already knew kinda what it looked like and how to implement it again after I found that formulae.
Good luck next time :)
PS: I find Ticketing software really helpful for time management
Looks pretty good, if you have anything working, maybe upload a YouTube video of it? Would be cool to see it move.
Hey @shaubbyplayz - If you can export the game to HTML or Mac then more people (me) would be able to try it, I don't know what it's written in, but hopefully you can port :)
Looks interesting, looks pretty fast too. Well done
I would ask if anyone else on the forum has the HTML license and see if they can export it for you :). (I've also used GML before, and the lack of export capacity sucks. so I feel your pain on that.
Will you like to a compiled version of your game?
If you can export for HTML and Mex you will get more people as well (not just windows)
This is actually a pretty good game if you think of it as "try to keep the ball in the air" - It's fun enough to keep you entertained running aorund the other players and punting the ball into the air before it hit's the ground.
Think you should change it to a normal game (not unfinished) and see what kind of rankings you can get, honestly I think it's as good as some I've played)
Can you publish to HTML or Mac? I would give it a try, but I don't have a windows machine.
If you can share some music or art then you can still get ranked on those, or share the game idea and get ranked for theme and innovation? That's if you want the feedback :) congrats for participating :)
Sounds kinda like "bait and catch" you plant food to attract creatures, then you bag and tag them :)
Sounds like a fun game, but also like you might end up seeing a lot of "rare" creatures as you go up the levels, so what's rare right now, would not be rare in 10 minutes when you have planted out a bit more etc.
I like the concept, would make a cool game.
Glad you could join us for a game jam :) They are awesome and addictive. Hope you will join in again.
If you can make your game HTML or Mac runnable, then I'll be able to try it, but otherwise if you can share art/music or screenshots of the game, you can get ranked on those?

Looks pretty cool, I would say it has a high theme rank and a nice story and nice graphics. Pretty well done even if you needed a bit more code behind the game.
Looks very cool, if you can export it for Mac and/or HTML more people will be able to play it (me)
This is an awesome little game, you should definitely put it into the normal ranking!
I got a few balls back and forth, it's cool and challenging and fun. :) Well done. Screen Shot 2020-04-23 at 8.25.45 pm.png

That is an awesome looking game! I got a "2000 space odyssey" vibe from it :) which probably made it seem cool too (only the start of that book was good)
You should share some more pictures and if you had made any sound, even if you didn't get to put it all together, you can still get a ranking, and I think this is pretty darn cool! I would love to see more about the idea and what you were trying to do.
Heya
Sounds like you had a difficult Jam, and learned a lot of things. That's worth while :)
If you have art or sound you should post them on this page so people can give you some feedback and ranking on it.
PS: Since you're talking to people from all over the world, and in some areas 420 is still illegal etc, it's better not to talk about it. Keep it a cool and healthy environment for everyone (including younger kids who hit the site)
If you have any art, or sound you might want to share it you can still get a rank for that. If you also share the idea, since you put the time into it, we can rank you on the theme and innovation? Seriously worth sharing more with us about the idea and the game.
You have a working chat feature :) that's pretty cool!
You really should write a bit about what the idea was and maybe a how to play? Seems like a cool game with a lot in it, but it's hard to understand? I think it's a game that kinda plays itself?
Do you have a download link, or some artwork, sound that you would like us to look at? You can still get a good rank even on an unfinished game if you share the best parts and maybe your idea :)
Hey do you have any art, or gameplay footage or sound files that you want to link to? Anything you can show that we can give you a rank on? You can still get a rank even if you don't finish your game, or get some feedback if you want peoples thoughts on anything.
Good on you for joining in? even if you don't want to share the game, you can still share screenshots or art and sound if you want some feedback?
Any chance of an HTML Version? I know it's pretty close to the deadline, but I only have my work Mac and I can't install stuff on that.
Love it! That's a great little game.
I love the little meat chunks that fly, but the total lack of blood and gore, I feel like I would be able to let my sisters kids play this and they would enjoy it, without me getting in trouble for blood and gore.
I also love that I can try to snipe the guys from platforms far away etc :)
Really cool
Screen Shot 2020-10-05 at 2.17.34 pm.png
Awesome an HTML Game!
Very cool, I was trying to avoid the walls for the entire run, so was really surprised when I hit the wall and passed right through :)
I love the sounds, and they give a good bit of feedback when you hit a block that's good/bad (I think the brown box was bad?)

Thanks so much, wow we have had so much feedback so quickly. Thank you all!!!
@tygrak congrats on getting to the boss :)
I did the design and you definitely hit a bug that's not meant to be there, when you beat the boss and go through the next door, it's meant to send you back to the back of the train, respawn everything and you run the loop again.
There's meant to be multiple game endings, but I see they didn't make it into the final version of the scene.
We're sticking to the rules and are not going to be able to add the improved stuff until after scores have come in, but when that's all happened we might release an updated and polished version with all the bugs you guys found fixed up and polished.
Again, thank you all soooo much, this has been awesome.
Hey All :)

I wanted to send a notification, I hope you don't mind, but I've spent the few weeks since the jam working on bug fixes and things. I'm not one of the coders, I'm the "Support" guy, while I'm a capable programmer, I've had to learn unity from never having touched it before, to being able to read C# Scripts and hook up components, and problem solve things. It's been a hard couple of weeks, but I managed to hook up all the bits and pieces that the team had made, and I'm re-releasing the game with bugs fixed - Notes below and on the end of the game details page.
I hope you will consider giving the game another go, now that the bugs have been fixed. I did my best to stay within the Jam Rules - so I believe you should be fine to adjust your rating if you think something is better now than when you saw the game last - Audio, Graphics, Mood, Humour or Overall. I've done my best to just bring out the gems that were already there, the stories that had been written and the assets that had been created. I would love to make sure the skills of the people who joined my team get shown off to the maximum and if their scores for the different areas they were responsible for get a small bump, I would be really happy.
Change notes follow, but just before I do that, I just want to say thank you for reading this far :) I hope you have an awesome score as well when the results come out (3 days ahhh!)
But now the GOOD NEWS
Bugs that were fixed: The infinite loop just ended after the first boss room - The code had been written, but had not been hooked up in the release, but had been hooked up in private scenes (Unity) Gunshots - There was a bit of trouble with this, as it had been implemented multiple times - it's been corrected and the raycast system hooked up. The Boss floating in midair, I just dragged him down to the ground. The particle effects when oyu hit an enemy kinda sucked - this is because webGL looks different to unity's inbuilt player, so you couldn't see the sparks very well. We tweeked the particle system so you can see the sparks better. Game AI - It was confusing to the players, so I trimmed some of this down. World lighting - There were far too many lights in the scene, and they were making things very dark. I removed a bunch of them, and added one to the player to fix this bug. You now have light so you can see what's happening
MOUSE SENSITIVITY - The game is so much more sensitive on WebGL, the code for all of that had been written, but not correctly connected.
VOLUME CONTROL - I added some sliders for later development, but didn't hook them up, so this is purely graphical on the menu, and not a feature
I also attached the Health system to a couple of objects that had not been hooked up correctly, and shifted a few objects around a touch to stop different bugs, like running through walls and the AI wondering through closed doors.
I hope you like the game!
@eldar Thanks for the feedback :)
Yea that "Press F" message really did get on my nerves, I don't know why it's there, and being "fresh" to Unity, and working iwth other guys code, I don't know what I did that made that stuck on the screen. It also does not change any more to hint when you should press F... sigh.
The carriages cycle randomly between 5 designs that the guys made. Each time you go through the train, each time you "loop" the train is destroyed and regenerates as you go through.
I don't know if you noticed the difficulty increases each time you kill the boss? It's not fast difficulty progression, but should make each room more challenging as you go through.
The Enemy can't see you through most obstacles now (way it was meant to be) so you can hide behind a box while it's scanning for you, of ninja off the stuff in the environment to stay out of scanning height.
I'm glad you liked the Music, @fadi-khoury was responsible for the music, I probably didn't do a great job with balancing it, and might have tracks overlapping, but we thought it was very cool, and meant to give more of the sense of being on a train. If you listen to it with the thought that you're on a train, you can hear the wheels and bumps in the track :)
I'm glad you could see better, that was the first think I fixed lol :) there are only 2 lights on the player, and a ma of 2 lights in any one carriage.
You're right about the robots being able to shoot you through walls last time. That was "fun"... Anyway, you're right that's fixed. And most obstacles block the enemy bullets now. You might have noticed the bullets also bounce :) When the enemy is shooting at you, they shoot in I think a 20degree cone, and if you're hiding behind something like a tree or shelf, you can see the bullets bounce off obstacles :). I would have pushed this a little further, but to stay inside the rules, I didn't make the bullets damage the enemy (friendly fire)
(Ahh darn that window) I forgot about that bug, hah, I might have to re-re-release *sigh* I do know there's another bug there that I created and just ran out of time to fix, which was if you jump into that pit, then walk into the next room, then go back into the pit, it teleports you out into space where you will fall forever (or until 64 bits overflow I guess.)
Yea the text on the Lever about killing the boss, I really was not sure about including that, because you don't have to kill the boss to win, and you might not kill him... also I don't like to say you "killed' him, since this is a kid friendly game (mostly). There's a secret in that room that will give you the second (true) ending, and shooting at the boss is just a hint to it.
The NPC text on the boss stopped working, again because I'm a unity Noob, I didn't know how to put it back in. One of the guys might see this and fix it for us :) but the boss just says: "So you've arrived! Is this the first time we're meeting? It doesn't matter though, there's only one of you, you're never going to be able to beat all of me. "I'm ready for you, bring it!"
Real top notch writing right there by yours truly. lol :)
Last think, the lever, you have the whole dialogue and you can say "pull the lever" but we didn't want that to happen automatically from the dialogue, we wanted the player to go and physically pull the lever themselves, so there was this real personal decision to pull the lever. There's meant to be a bit of tension about pulling the lever because the player while "winning" is also giving up on finding a way to actually end the paradox. So the dialogue gives the player an "out" by saying "as per protocol" but the outro says how the passengers are disoriented suggesting that something bad has happened to them. If we took this further I would grow that side of the game a little, and have the NPCs in the train so you could see/talkto them. All stuff we wanted and had text and voice acting for, but didn't get into the game because we didn't have a model for the NPC's...
Well that's 4000 words!!! Sorry for being so verbose :)
@sevenlevelgames Thanks very much for giving it a try, did you give the bug fixed version a try as well? I made the bots only do 1 damage (balance) and the mouse sensitivity is now adjustable lol :)
#Twitter: @PixelProphecy played the game#
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/781773613?t=00h20m48s
Was very cool to see them play, but this is the buggy version, if you play ;) play the bug-fixed HTML version.
@philstrahl - Heya :) naa, you didn't ruin the ending. We were chatting about it in the team, and actually that was the most poetic ending we would have hoped for on the not-bug-fixed version of the game :).
Thanks for playing!
Thanks @inferture - Did you try the bug fixed version? 100% more bug fixes (and still within the rules)
@mrchickenboy - The team was made on the fly, and the same thing will probably happen next LD as well, though I imagine some of this team will be available and want to work together again. So when it happens, hit me up here or on Twitter @TolMera - I'll be happy to interview and add people to this team or other good teams that I know about when the time comes :)
@inferture Oh! I understand what you're talking about. It's actually a pretty easy bug to trigger. If you get to the boss room, to through the door to the next room, then walk back into the boss room, you will hit a collider that throws you into space (Sorry about that)
I hoped that noone would "go back" into the other room once they went into the second room, but I guess my collider is a little small, so if you run at the door and spam F, you might pop out of and back into the trigger box, throwing you into outer space :-/
Thank you for the bug report :)
Awesome puzzle platform, I love the simple idea but really challenging execution.
As a Compo game I would love to "know" that every puzzle has a solution, otherwise after a few attempts and not being able to solve puzzle 5, I'm like "Can you solve puzzle 5?"
Really fantastic little game, I love the "soft" feel of the platforms when you jump/land on them. I like the character. The game feels pretty well polished.
If you released this to the app store today, I am pretty sure you would start earning money from it, I would pay the 99 cents for it.
Screen Shot 2020-10-05 at 7.52.37 pm.png
It's a shame we can't play this on Web or Mac, it looks awesome and I want to give it a try!
I would love to see it if anyone does a stream, a playthrough or anything like that
Any chance of an HTML Version? I know it's pretty close to the deadline, but I only have my work Mac and I can't install stuff on that.
That was a pretty cool little puzzle I really like that you have voice over, and some really cool humour.
Well done, I hope it scores well, it's a good game for such a short time.
Screen Shot 2020-10-06 at 1.40.53 am.png
Would be cool to give this a try if you think you can deploy this to a web GL or any HTML accessible format. I'm on a Mac so can't run windows games, though I really do want to give this a go, it looks like it's pretty expansive.
Any chance of a Mac or Web build? I would love to give the game a try, but only have a Mac at my disposal

That was an awesome game thought my reflexes can't keep up with it :)
I love the fast respawn, it makes the game fast, and deaths feel like just part of the practice, not a punishment.
I love the theme music, this brings back memories of so many "hacking" movies and little computer scenes from when I was a kid, really hits the nostalgic spot
Awesome entry.
Awesome! I loved the finishing music :)
For a simple concept, it was really well executed, the little bit of mental math you pull off to work out if you have moved far enough to make a jump that's going to land you on the platform you were aiming for, that was above you but you're aiming where it will be below you? Awesome
Loved the little fireworks as well, really sells that 'I clocked it' and feels great.
Well done
Would be cool to give this a go if you can deploy it to a webGL build or anything that can be played on the browser?
I would love to give it a go, but don't have a windows machine, and can't install stuff on my work Mac
Any chance of a Mac or Web build? I would love to give the game a try, but only have a Mac at my disposal
If you can, you get a WebGL or HTML version of the game, I can't play because it's windows and I don't have a windows machine.
I love the screenshake! It's done really well
Nice game, and Juggling really is a loop so a nice fit for the theme as well.
Simple game, well executed and fun/challenging to play. It's a perfect compo entry
Well done

I came across a few different pumpkins, and I think I managed to progress a little, but I couldn't be sure, I'm not getting enough feedback to really know.
Nice game though
The music was interesting and good for the environment that you're trying to setup.
Good luck and well done.
Screen Shot 2020-10-05 at 2.58.37 pm.png
Cool looking game for 48 hours. It took me a couple of minutes to get the dynamic of the game. Was gooen I had a feel for it planning your way around the city, and trying to think of the best way to approach all the boxes and in what order.
I also loved that there's a speed difference when you go over the gravel and when you hit an obstacle the little spin animation :)
I didn't really get the link to the sound in the background, but it "felt" right for the setting being brightly coloured etc :)
Well done!

It's really cool to see a real paper game in this, and well done for creating something that's going to be really easy for people to pick up and play, this is great.
If you can upload a youtube or similar of the game being played, it might help understand the game a little better. Overall I'm really impressed with the idea, and the PDF although simple enough, is a really nicely formatted document :)
An almost perfect 2045 :) Just a few more points and I would have had a nice round 2048!!!
Nice game, very creative and I loved the BSOD sound right before the PC died, Awesome game.
Screen Shot 2020-10-04 at 5.28.09 pm.png
Very cool, very interesting to try.
I didn't manage to hoop very long, and didn't get enough feedback when I was hitting the right rythum, but still enjoyed it. I managed to make it half way across the second screen when a block suddenly vanished and dropped me back down to the start :) very cool little trick and would make the game a lot of challenge.
Damn that's hard!
I'm not sure entirely what I was doing, but the mechanics seem to work well
Amazing work with such a limited number of parts, a real lesson in simple design.
Nicely done
Screen Shot 2020-10-05 at 2.37.21 pm.png
Made it a nice 2500 meters, all the way to hitting an hot air balloon :).
Pretty cool game, I knew someone would have this idea, and really looked forward to playing. Totally the kind of game I wanted to play. very fun
I did wonder if the bird is saying "Fu.." when it hits something though?
I also like the little pickups, which are kinda unusual for this exact type of game, but it gives you something to aim for when you think you have some control of the character
Well done
That was very cool :)
I read the details and expected less, but it's fully working, and you can walk from carriage to carriage while the train is moving, that's pretty awesome, I was entirely expecting the mesh and collision to knock the character around, but it didn't and it felt pretty smooth.
Mouse sensitivity would be a good addition - it's the only thing that I actually had to get used to.
I also like the fact you can turn the light off in the train, and have the flashlight, it was very cool to turn the light off and got a spooky vibe straight away.
I jumped off the train as well, and watched it drive away without me :) I would have taken a screenshot, but the game wouldn't let go of my mouse haha
Awesome work
Any chance of a Mac or Web build? I would love to give the game a try, but only have a Mac at my disposal
This is an awesome idea! Well done
I managed to beat it in a few minutes, but really had to think about the map and what was going to happen. I think dieing in a speciffic way affected the way you're reborn? Really nice idea
Screen Shot 2020-10-05 at 2.29.31 pm.png
I couldn't play the game, because I can only play web games, but I downloaded and listened to the music, that was pretty awesome.
I don't quite get the concept, but I thought the graphics look quite polished. The auto-sextant had nice control for looking around and it would have been really interesting to actually see something in action like calculating your position in the universe from "known" stars.
Over all, pretty cool that you managed to put something out :)
Any chance of a webGL build?
I played a few times and can't get past spawn 3.
I don't think its possible to either, since if you place your gun close to the tower, it does not kill the enemy from the wave quickly enough. If you place it half way around, it kills the first wave but the second hits your base before getting killed
The third drop ship always spawns behind my base, so I get 5 hits and die there.
I like the animation of the drop ship coming down, one of the cleanest and most descriptive visuals I've seen done with just blocks. Awesome work.
I hope you can fix the issue where you can't get to level 4, I think it would be a lot of fun to play more
Ohh, I retract my entire statement, I see you can move the tower! That's awesome!!!
You can move the guns as well, wow this is really good
Hey this looks really cool, any chance you can port it to WebGL or Mac? I know it's hard but I would really like to give it a try
Any chance of a Mac or Web build? I would love to give the game a try, but only have a Mac at my disposal
I don't know if you used an engine for this that can deploy to web GL or another HTML style game, but it's much easier to play games if they are web accessible. Would love to give it a try if you think it can be made web accessible.
My wife liked the music, I started the game up and she came over to check it out :)
That looks really cool, any cahnce of a webGL build?
Any chance of an HTML Version? I know it's pretty close to the deadline, but I only have my work Mac and I can't install stuff on that.
It seems like a really nice idea, but you go way too far off the map too easily. I think it's worth fixing that (if you want to) and re-deploy the game. The rules allow for bug fixing, and that feels like a bug.
Other than that, it seemed really smooth and some interesting mechanics. Well done.

Hey @voidsay - What happened when you opened it in an IFrame?
@jeff-kerman - All bugs aside :P thanks very much for looking at it
@lereveur - I realised that would be the case for a lot of people. I think if I was to take this further, I would have to build up some trust with people that I'm not a monster and I'm not going to sell/consume your email-address/soul. hah I also have a similar setup to you, in that I have a catch all on my domain. I use GMail though, and in Gmail you can setup a "send as". Google will send an email to the address you provide, asking if they can send emails as that address, if you receive and click their link, then you can send as that email address from your gmail account. Pretty useful :)
---
I think if I were to take this further, there's a lot of edge cases. One in particular, the email system actually only accepts emails if it can validate that the sender is 'real' on the domain that the email came from. So if you send me an email from a fake account (No DNS record for the IP address the email came from, and the domain has not signed the email et-al). Then I won't validate the account because the email is probably fake. Lots of interesting challenges.
Thanks y'all for looking at it, was an interesting weekend project.
Wow @voidsay you really made a mind twister! I spent ages trying not to fall off, before I realised gravity was on-my-side. Then, when I fell into the next room, Gravity was still on my side and I could walk on the walls and ceiling! That was fantastic.
I don't know what dark magics were being worked in the transport from one area to the next, but that was also amazingly cool and quite smooth :)
Epic as always!
Overall a lot better than mine haha :) +1
Can I summon the @voidsay?
@voidsay, sir you are my favourite summon, you do not disappoint and as always I am left wondering what just happened.
Thank you ;)
I'm on the leader board mwahahah :) I harvest in circles.
I couldn't get a human down the throat of the worm. Words I never thought I would say.
Definitely one of the more creative approaches to the theme :) nice little game.
Any chance of a web version? I would love to give it a try.
Wow, that's... well like Kenneth said, kinda dark, I love it!
Neat gamer, killer vibes.
I got stuck prety early with the red mushroom, but really enjoyed it.
Any chance of a web version? looks like something I want to try.
Love the look of it, but sadly can't play (no mac)
Looks like it would be intense strategy if you spend a bit of time learning how to play it.
Do do do do dah dah do do do
That was funny as heck, well done.
If you can post a web version more people can try.
The background clouds were well done.
I love the voice acting haha
Any chance of a web version?
133 seconds to clock, damn that was good.
My wife called out from another room "I love that music"
That was pretty awesome, the sound effect on the dragon waking up is awesome, a little bone chilling.
Love the art style as well
Pretty good looking, but I couldn't play because it's not web based - if you publish a web version I would love to give it a try.
Leaf me alone haha
pretty cool, I like the music.
Felt a little like pacman for some reason? but was cool.
Not a bad game, definitely not for the RSI prone, but good for a few minutes to check out the concept :)
I like the story, but don't know if we get more than the introduction before my wrist started hurting.
Sorry to say it was to herd to get started.
Yikes those melons were hard to kill
Very cool unexpected avoidance game mechanic, I enjoyed it.
It must be true that the void being infinite also fills all space, and therefore the Void is still limited by space?!
Screenshot from 2023-10-02 13-10-11.png
Amazing little game, it hangs together really well, is unexpectedly complex, rewarding when you fathom a move that's in the future, and doesn't have an obvious endpoint (how much further could I go, If I keep compacting will I end up with more and more office supplies? Will it become a building? What will it be!
I also love that this ran on Linux!!! Void you Star! Void star? Black hole? Sir, this is just awesome, thank you for giving me something new and challenging to play with!
Thank you four for playing, I love your feedback and appreciate it a lot :v:
@liquidfunk the game counts how many time you pressed enter, and how many lines there are in the chant. If you hit enter too many times, you end up ending the chant too soon
So it's like two days until ranking ends, so I hope you don't mind but I'm going to do some summoning

Hey @jordantanner
Yea vanilla JS, if I wanted to make it a product I would rewrite it using TS but vanilla JS is good for knocking out a prototype quickly, and with the years of experience I don’t have that much trouble with bugs etc.
I like the chant for you, really leaned into the Tanner :)

Thanks for letting me know about the hosting - I turned off the CDN because it costs money, but the S3 hosting is still up: https://ld55-e5068e40-db2f-53c3-aa54-78c45ebc7409.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/index.html
I hope you enjoy a play if you get a chance :)
And I'm glad you remember the multi-player game Oroborus (LD47) - I thought you were talking about Elon-zo (LD46) which is my favorite multiplayer game I've written, even if the balance was off, I loved the two people could fly to the same place a meet up, or randomly see another player fly past.
Definitely want to make more Multi player games. Orbitum Scatterum has been a long running idea in the back of my head, maybe one day that will be a reality.
AhH! My Eyes!
also: `429 Too Many Requests` - I can't get the game
Should definitely upload a cover picture
If you can compile target for web or linux, more people will be able to run the game.
Sigh...
Ok I know the main "start game" button doesn't do anything
Are people looking at the test suite? If you're looking at the test suite, and it's not working (try device Orientation, or mesh, or textures, they all absolutely work) but if it's not working for you, can you please share me a screenshot of the developer console? I would really appreciate so I can debug. It's working on my phone, my wifes phone, my dads phone, and my computer (though I don't have a gyro in my PC obviously)
@imberry - Because it was going to be a game. I just ran out of time after getting comfortable with `three.js`
The idea was - if you've ever played a game called populous? You're guiding the development of a civilization. But in game they are little people running around on a map. So the people were going to be my tiny creatures, and I wanted people to be able to play on their cellphone in an augmented reality environment. So you would walk around your house but in AR you would be moving around the map, interacting with your tiny creatures and guiding the growth of a civilisation.
I am probably 12 hours away from having a game since all of the `test suite` stuff, is actually me building out all the functionality. All I need to do is mix it all together, and add some AI for the people, and add a "zoning" (think SimCity zoning).
But, the best laid plans of mice and men.
I might (though got to say the feedback from people being like "I'm not going to allow GPS, orientation information" is pretty disheartening.) I might keep building it out and submit it to the Extra category.
@laywelin @scrumblob - I understand that’s your point of view.
Scanning a public QR code and visiting a website is not a security concern any more than visiting any website ever. At all times you could access a compromised website, but even then “sandboxing” in your browser, has mitigated the risks significantly.
Unlike visiting a personalized link, which can be used for some additional data gathering like fishing emails looking to know exactly who clicked a link.
Sharing location with no other information is not risky either. Without users permission you can use tools like GeoIP to localize a person down to a single building. Yes you can use a VPN and that makes my point obsolete, but the statement is true for the vast majority of the people on the internet. It’s not a risk to know “there is someone at X point on earth” as there are 8billion+ people on earth. It’s only a risk in conjunction with other information.
And a great number of Ludum games are local installs, which carry far greater risk to the average user. Regardless of hosting platform itch/ld/git or personal hosting, the risk remains constant.
I say the above as a professional programmer, with knowledge of both the legal and security implications. Your opinions are personal opinions, and justifiable by your comfort zone. As this has fallen outside your comfort zone, I appreciate your time, but would ask you to differentiate real security concerns from opinion, so you do not misinform others about the risk, It would be a disservice to those that trust you.
Wow so fast! that's a lot of game in a little package
Nice little game @wospy :v:
Glad it's web accessible, and straight forward to play. Love the banana-men and the funny names
Couple of screen shots from playing and testing - I would love to see what y'all make.
I think there's some emergent gameplay, it's like decorating a snow-globe.
And I'm loving how if you try to keep a geometric pattern from the top or the bottom, it doesn't work - so you have to make bigger geometric patterns, while still keeping things balanced so the solar panels don't end up being rotated out of the light :)

@haokai-xu-1999 - did you manage to run it? I updated the link to the live game if you wanted to try again :)
@joel-davis Did the tutorial help? Or the "story" button on the main page
Thank you @jared-saizdelamora. I regularly do HTML games because they are so accessible, Phone, Mac, Linux, Windows doesn't matter everyone can play, and I love that.
I tried it on my IPad, and wish I had of had time to add touch events, so you could rotate around the sphere with your fingers, would have made it feel so visceral.
Plenty could be better, but thank you for the praise :)
Inspired by Populus? That game has inspired so many things for me, awesome to see someone else mention it :)
Cool tool - cool idea, would make interesting art installations with something like this
Wow, how?!
Pretty impressed with this course :)
Awesome amazing little game!

Edit: Oh hell yes last map win!

You should add details, screenshots, comments etc to your game page, you will get a lot more plays and a lot more ratings if you spend 15~30 minutes just polishing up the presentation.
+1 for the Dad Mode :)
It's hard with distractions
The cover photo is heck of an eye catching.
Gah!!! This is the game I've been trying to write for ages!
Well, not exactly, but this is the same idea I had for Orbitum Scaterum (which I've done for LD twice, and mostly failed haha)
@petitpois @LeReveur
Thank you for giving the game a try :) I agree the textbox does not work that well, in retrospect there's a few things I could have done to improve that (change the Z-Index of the invisible click boxes for one thing) however since there's zero indication of what you can/cant click on, I'm rather impressed anyone noticed they could not click on something :)
Yea unfortunately we did not have time to finish the art as planned, but I will release a post Jam patched game (hopefully this weekend?) and hopefully the issues will be improved.
Again, thank you so much for playing! and thank you for the feed back :)
PS: For anyone interesting the the gyro interface, here's what I think of it myself - Regarding the control interface, unfortunately the gyro API and phones in general are not a great combination, the slightest lag of either the gyro or the browser, and the nice silky smooth motion detection turns into a wild bucking horse! That's if you can get as far as a smooth gyro setting. On the setting page the input boxes are a multiplier for what the API is getting from your gyro, my IPhone 6 is perfect on 7 Horizontal and 7 Vertical with no drift compensation, however the android I tested this on didn't even register at 7*, I had to push it to 70* gyro :pensive: I have some ideas of correcting the issues (using compass and gyro?) but overall, it's a battle if ever there was one. My next LD game I hope to re-use the framework that I wrote this LD! So keep an eye out, and if you have any ideas for making the gyro/compass combination system, :) reach out and I would love to hear your thoughts
Definitely looks interesting, but I can't figure out how to play. When you have added the game description etc on this page, I'll give it another try
