Really enjoyed this one - excellent. Your lack of witty remarks early in the morning was witty in and of itself! You have my twitter patronage also. It made me laugh and think. This is what Ludum Dare games should be like.
Interesting atmosphere - you've captured that really well. Not sure about how much it ties in with theme though....
I also immediately thought of Another World's opening scene when I first saw it - not a bad thing!
Cool mechanic with good music and very nice sprite graphics. I feel that you could have tried one or two more ideas with the 'remove one and let it all fall down' idea - maybe remove one at a time multiple times. i.e. remove 1 then let it fall, remove another let it fall etc.? Nice little score chasing game - you could really do something with this in the future I reckon. Could be a good mobile game. Good stuff.
Couldn't see my own shots. Couldn't see enemy shots. Couldn't see why I was dying.
Level design is a little plain and lots of the collision doesn't work between the bad guys and our intrepid doggie, but I liked the mechanic and the interpretation of the theme! Music was cool as well, and I actually like the dog's animation.
Quite a cool concept - can see this working on iPhone and tablets pretty well. But the fact that it wasn't really a game - but an autonomous tech demo, is a let down. Still, I do really thing you have a great idea here. Like I said - could be great for mobile.
Fun idea, not sure how it relates to the theme really. But it's an interesting and enjoyable mechanic in short bursts and would be good for educational minigames. Great music and graphics for 48 hours!
Excellent humour! Love your vocals! Yaaarrrgh!
Good comical game. But you need instructions in your description - took me a few goes to work out how to keep him moving! Excellent sound and graphics.
Good game! This could make a decent basis for a multi-player game in the future. Good music and array of weapons.
Good idea, but only Game A worked (made random sounds). All zooms didn't work and other hotspots didn't work. Testing in Chrome on Windows 7 64-bit. Would have liked it all to work for me - creative take on the theme!
Graphics are very pretty - lovely shadows and smoke effects. Unfortunately, main mechanic (cloaking) doesn't work in practice and most levels are uncompletable. Solid idea for further development though!
I don't think it's as bad as you make out. It's not really tied to the theme and not incredibly innovative, but the graphics were nice (particularly the particle effects) and the sounds that were there were enough to spice up gameplay. Most importantly, the controls with just the mouse felt really good and surprisingly precise. Still a good effort.
Download error from file host.
Outstanding! Excellent design and great use of the theme. I totally enjoyed playing this - well done!
One small thing - bug in the room with 7 torches. I needed to light the end ones before the first ones for some reason.
Apart from that was great - excellent use of mechanics and minimal writing to tell a story.
Getting "Invalid or Corrupt .jar file", so can't play :-(.
Windows 7 64-bit, Java updated appropriately.
Inklewriter?
Excellent entry. Good writing and good handling of a nasty topic. Good twist near the end.
Yeah, I agree chardish. I ran out of time a little to finesse the writing or build a couple more levels for better pacing. But hey, 48 hours you know? ;-D Thanks for playing and thanks for feedback.
Cheers capnramses for feedback. Yeah, it's difficult to think about how other people are going to play it once you've playtested it a million times! Glad you liked the rest though.
Sorry about the troubles with platforms - it's a hard line to tread without playtesting how hard a game is. I think if I was doing something similar in the future I'd make it easier! But many thanks for the feedback - it's all good!
Didn't download - for Windows I had to go through a ton of spam messages and windows. I'm not sure if that's what you intended, but that's what happened. Can I suggest that if you'd like people to play and rate your game then you use a free cloud solution like Dropbox and share the public link?
Nice feel to it, but it was difficult to get started - no controls given, what am I meant to do?, how do I jump higher? what is the progression? etc. Music was nice and set the mood for the message, but struggle to find the gold coins and jump higher probably stops people really getting in the mood for what you're saying.
Having said that, it's REALLY hard (impossible?) to gauge the difficulty for this kind of game in 48 hours (I know I probably didn't....!) and it's commendable that you didn't do a game involving bullets, lives and killing (neither did I actually). Well done!
No problems running it in browser.
Nice idea. Like the ammo recovery idea. Sounds would have made a big difference and more more frequent encounters with zombies - found it a little slow paced. But I really like the high score idea for more skillful play - good job!
Doesn't run on Windows 7 64 bit. Error says, "Can't start because MSVCR120.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem".
Graphics were quite fun! But it was a little too repetitive. Not sure the theme was done too well here. Anyway, well done for taking part, and at least it had a Christmas theme!
Actually started not liking it but then grew to play through to the end! Once I realised how all the teleportation stuff worked, I was into it. You needed to make this clear in the game - it's a bit difficult to read this all on the description before you start. I had to go back and re-read a couple of times.
Well done, and I think you should develop this idea further. Real promise here. I like the goal of getting the 'one room' onto the pads to take you to different rooms. Kind of like a partial Tardis! Good spin on theme and well done.
Nice concept and a quick bit of fun! Could see this developing more, quite easily. Physics is pretty satisfying as well! Well done!
Interesting idea, but more or less impossible to control. If you had done a kind of click and drag type of controls (rather than clicking) for the hand pulls, then that would have given enough control to make it playable.
However, I really think you should develop the idea - it's a good one.
Note - web link doesn't work for me. Windows 10 in Chrome.
Well done.
I like the way you have fast action going between planets with quick selling. This could make a nice arcade game - and if you made it multiplayer I think you'd be onto something. It's a shame you can't win this one - only lose. But the graphics and sound were cool and it's pretty complicated for just a jam so well done. Main problem is that flying the ship is really quite difficult!
Excellent idea. Good work with the music and sounds which although basic, seemed to work well. It's a shame that you can't really tell which rocks are bigger or smaller than you most of the time - which makes it a little unplayable. But if polished this could be an excellent web or mobile game!
Nice concept, kind of let down by execution. I'm also not sure what ending I got! Sword first time...something else the next - couldn't make it out! But I like the idea - although I'm not sure if it really follows the theme (not that it matters to some people). Thanks for making this.
It's a shame there's no space for 'technical impressiveness', because to be one person and do this in 48 hours is quite something! It's a shame that this is a complicated genre, and the game is quite slow. I like the theme spin - although it's a little obvious. Well done.
Moves nicely and it's got good pace to it.
Nice. Really enjoyed the graphic style and it felt nice to play. Impressive for 48hrs!
Thought this was cool. Interesting that you used the small world for constraints in where to build - that's a nice interpretation of the theme. Liked the messages as time went on! A little bit of sound would have gone a LONG way here next time, but I played again until the end and enjoyed it! Well done for 48hours work!
