@Marcos Rodrigues Most HTML5 games are shared source, you just need to Right Click -> Inspect Element in Chrome or have Firebug in firefox. I didn't bother to minify my code or anything secure although I am using the minified/obfuscated Three.js lib. But the code is a really terrible fast hack job so it's not that interesting, "here be dragons."
clicking on the Web link brings you to a download an html file page and doesn't actually play. ( At least in Win8/Chrome )
Really good pacing and introducing the new elements.
Could use a "Press R ( Arrrr ) to restart." Sea Shanty song audio ftw.
Yay for games that allow for two female or male leads :)
As some polish it always shows the background for about a frame before switching to the next scene. It's one of those annoying things players notice so it'd go a long way just to make sure it's visible is set to false on init I think.
The serious ragdoll on crashes makes me laugh.
Cool. Haven't seen much interactive fiction this time, Fun choices.
Orbital physics is such an underused mechanic, good to see it used well.
I got 1025. I like how you have different damage states for the ship rather than just displaying a number of lives.
Nice take on serious theme. A few tooltips would go a long way to helping players understand the UI quicker.
Cute, Audio is the highlight. Wheehee yah!
Hitting two things with one arrow is an awesome feeling, wish the game gave me more visual rewards for doing so.
I like how the level design theme/concept of the puzzle is clear with a single word. Really hard.
Nice, Reminds me of the game "Stuntman".
Hm... I always thought a proper shark diet also involved humans and not just Alien Robots. No wonder my mad science hasn't been working all this time!
( And steak obviously )
Fun, and the procedural rooms work well for the game.
Wish I had usb dance pad controller like Crypt of the Necrodancer demo videos.
haha, Cool concept, wish the parody could have gone further with the audio with the token inception gong sfx. The rocket jumping is kind of unintuitive but required if you get caught in that corner of the map.
Had a bit of trouble figuring out the spells weren't the normal attack words. But yay, typing games are fun
I really want to know what sound does a summoned squirrel makes.
http://i.imgur.com/O9450C2.png Dear Mom, Pink clashes with Blood.
haha... More fun than flash. And finishing multiplayer is always impressive in a gamejam.
Wish I could just move by mouse click.
@Dejvo... It's pretty common to come up with the same ideas given a certain theme as a coincidence, I've seen like at least 3 other pillow fight games.
TBH the heart of my idea started as humans fighting with their own intestines and just kind of evolved from there, and I thought it'd be funnier to have a "cute" twist on it.
But yeah, I agree my take on the theme ended up not being that unique among 2500+ people working around a similar concept.
Don't be to sad, you got some basic gameplay up so that's not a fail.
I thought the warrior portrait was funny.
76 seconds of shooting them in the face.
It'd be nice if you could see the pacifier lerp over into their months when you just got close. The color change combined with the sudden appearance makes it kind of jarring.
Nice, the changing clouds in the background was a good polish touch.
I wish it showed me my score while in gameplay.
My favorite part is the snarky death tips. I wish there was more contrast between the good cubes and the bad death things in the first area when you're learning, like putting a glow around them or something.
Katamari meets household helper robots, Nice!
Thanks for putting the tech names in the description, makes finding projects by engine way easier.
you're right about it being hard, but then again I'm not great at asteroids.
hehe... the logo looks like "SBS: pace aby hooter"
The hero is adorable, especially the dodge roll anim.
Mouse vertical look feels inverted to me.
The follow cam feels too snappy, but I do love a game over that ends in a 2 person kamikaze explosion.
Ha, yes a modern parody game.
Good move tuning down the difficulty in the uploaded version to make play easier.
Chickens spitting what I assume is blood is certainly an unconventional weapon. Agree with the other comments, movement feels a bit tank like though.
I like how in an unreal game, Unity-Chan is the one with the friendly move set.
Time between being told not to do something and doing the thing: ~1.5 seconds
The windows dropbox link seems to have expired but the web link still works.
I like the indirect combat mechanics and ability to avoid enemies. Alas as directed by the end game here is my Mom card.
This is the most rational explanation for the existence of the hula hoop I've ever seen.
Cool, reminds me of the Suck Cannon from Ratchet and Clank Future.
One thing that would help the UI a lot that's easy is a reticle crosshair in the middle of the screen. It's easy for my eyes to lose track of where I'm shooting.
haha... So Cute, kittens only hunt for sport, they do not eat the animals they kill and still need cat food.
Reminds me of a fantasy version of patapon, that's cool. Which spell or door you're locking onto needs more feedback, like highlighting valid combos.
Nice first jam game.
Wish I could use the melee bread hit attack on a separate button so I don't need to waste donut ammo when the rats are close.
FYI Doesn't seem to finish loading on iPhone 5S ( chrome or safari ) loading bar gets 90% or so done and hangs. But PC was fun.
Cool twist. I feel like just another fake cursor over the "player" buttons would do a lot to make it more immediately obvious which side you don't control.
Helicopter parents, ruin everything. ;)
It's a fun challenge to suppress your first instincts in a twitchy game.
Card games are different, so cool.
On web, the cards backgrounds are transparent over the instructions but solid over the tableau, woah z-order madness.
A good amount of art content, I like how the tutorials are presented.
It'd be easier if you hosted the download on itch.io or dropbox so people didn't have to hunt for the download button, and made the filename something unique, too many people name the folder LD*.
Cool. I haven't seen anyone do a choicescript game. I'm Angel: -42%
I like the typography. It'd be cool if you had more audio cues when the survivors were alerted.
Haha oh it probably says not so good things about me based on how funny I found this game. Halfway through Sunday late ideas are the best gamejam ideas. Jams are great for showing the concept instead of polish really.
Cool. Like most other difficult puzzle games a reset button would be nice as often I'd realize I'd screwed up the second I went down.
ha... of course scammers are running with pirated wandisk os. Lots of good polish touches.
Water, good for frogs, bad for ☺
Silly Dragon, doesn't he know his Smartphone has a calculator app for some basics.
"Emily is Away" for the modern era. Made me laugh, good friends.
Really cool you were able to finish effectively two different game types. The "Crunch Crunch Crunch" was funny text to popup.
However, Most of the time for the day sections I ended up just camping in the towers.
Interesting really different concept. My natural tetris instincts of wanting to fit things as tight as possible are working against me agghh.
Fun and Interesting. I hope your experiment works out well, I'd love to see more variety of game types in Ludum Dare!
I like how the piece's expression convey's so much panic.
Amazing. The UI was nice, just enough HUD and menu to keep my quantum powered long enough to shoot some tachyons at the deflector dish.
Fun, all the elements came together really well to set up feels.
Easy mode is still hard for me though.
I haven't wanted two mouses so much since Big Kahuna Reef Party mode.
Good entry, Sfx and art was really strong. "Altered Bunny" sting at start set the tone well haha.
I like that you took the time to introduce each power. (hehe... Thomas was alone with more shapes and less story.)
There is a typo in the start of level 2 ""polymorhp" to blue..." instead of "polymorph"
yup, Shapes shifted during the geometry wars.
Wish you guys had had time to do controller support too, should be pretty easy to add in unity.
Nice game, It took me awhile to figure out I needed to shoot not let it drop onto a match but once I did it really got going.
It'd be nice if the robot went under the blocks, it's unclear if thats the design intent since you can see some of them and it's starts out color based.
Couldn't run on my windows 10 machines even as admin. Heard background music and saw it in taskbar but didn't see any window.
SNNNAAAKKKESSS!!!! ( well I guess they're slimes judging by your comment but killed me every time. )
Also apparently every time I see a Dark Souls style ending screen I mentally replace it with "Thanks Obama"
Really good first entry, LOL at JUST DO IT motivational meme intro.
It's helpful to put the instructions in the description too, easier to read for people..
IK is hilarious. Help I've fallen and I can't get up.
really good first entry.
The dead fish are cute and seeing them constantly makes me laugh and feel guilty at the same time.
Sometimes the controls seems unresponsive though.
Making UI Main Menu screens is life's real adventure.
While I reject the general internet notion that cats have inherently poor grammar, good job. Kitteh is teh cutest
hahaha... the quotes are a clever break between the levels. Love the Crypt of the Necrodancer feel. The animations give good feedback when you miss the beat without needing a lot of UI, very hard to pull off.
Very nice, Original puzzle concept and very on theme and historical.
Sweet clicker game, the animations of the buttons really make it look different and cool. It'd be nice if the build buy button was grayed out for things I can't afford yet.
I understand that reference dot gif
I like the variety of the text, made me laugh as well as the punny title.
haha... I've sent that pic to people before when being a smartass. Glad I can not upgrade replies to something interactive.
Hehe... programmer puns as a name.
It'd be nice if the game had a bit more of an intro level. Feels confusing even after reading the instructions.
haha... the cat art is so cute. I kept wanting to chase the mirror spot like a laser pointer.
You can edit the entry so that it displays "Android download" instead of "Web" It's really confusing that a "web" links lead to an APK download.
Anyway you can wrap it in an exe so I don't need to install java?
Original recorded sounds, hilarious, especially the UI click.
Agree with some of the other comments that I had to read the tutorial for how timer changes work, that feels like it really could have been done with a keyboard or with arrows buttons that appear when clicking on them.
I did actively want more maps though so thats a good sign on the fun level.
Nice suspenseful mood, I like the one room theme combined with the isolated space sheep feel.
The time fx are cool looking.
I think you could make fast forward a keypress instead of on screen button would be a really easy help towards improving the controls.
Properly depressing.
Also, I really liked phaser when I used it ( although I only used the typescript version ) glad to see it's getting some popularity.
I like your outline fx.
Couldn't beat it though... I think I was missing an equation somewhere as there were a lot of variables in the system
Interesting narrative, got stuck on crafting the map so thanks for including the spoiler walkthrough = you're a GameJam pro.
Cool. It seemed like I just kept hoping the next round of dumpster diving got us another mattress though.
@Obvious_San, Mainly the option is there because I subscribe to the telltale game design philosophy that players making a choice in their mind of how to act gives them a stronger relationship to the game, even if that agency doesn't change the final outcome much.
In this case, some players get the feeling that they didn't escalate the situation in a way they perceive is dickish and some people get to see funny content and squabble. To each their own, yay for video game interactivity.
I like the variety of enemies and how individual instances will have slightly different height movements and things, little number tweaks make a huge difference to the end experience.
I also really enjoyed the fullscreen UI flash when getting hurt, really clear what was happening.
This game has a nice nostalgic feel to it.
It'd be nice if the guns auto switched with a sfx when you kept clicking and were out of ammo.
I agree with previous comments that its a bit odd that your rotation point is around the gun and not the human center
haha at poop and glutton expression. Really cool to see a gamejam game with a backend.
I love these kind of reversal concepts, or just unique spins on genres.
It was a lot more fun when I discovered the cauldron AOE, wish it had been highlighted more.
The audio sounded thought out. The concept is fresh, but like most people I don't have friends to rate games with to test how fun it is in its ideal environment.
HappyFunTimes.net kept giving me an error message.
My final score: 39.
But dude, no computer is a super hardcore and determined, mind blown.
Good job on all parts for the team. The upgrades give a good sense of progression for a game jam.
I read the notes after dying a few times, it wasn't immediately clear to me that the room was shrinking because I wasn't killing fast enough, I just thought it was on an invisible timer. Maybe instead of just the room glowing an animation could come out from all monsters to the edges when it shrinks? I dunno.
Otters in top hats? Get otter here.
It made me laugh that the second rule of roomba fight club was different than the first.
It's clear who gets the point based on hit location, which is really cool great natural visual indicators of health and damage area. Good player expectations are fun.
It's really helpful how you break down how the scoring works, makes even the randomness seem fair.
Music really shines, makes just the rhythmic clicking kinda fun.
I also liked using the window as a game exit device, especially since so many unity gamejam games don't exit gracefully hehe...
Even though blink teleporting used a ton of energy such a fun shortcut addition in a maze. It took me awhile to figure out how to recharge, wish the battery had a glow or something around it when I got close to an area.
Different concept, The background animation looks polished. It's interesting how the changing colors on the cards makes it so much more difficult to see patterns.
I'm also stuck on the second level. The art was so cute I wish there was a little something like a happy dance animation for beating a level.
made it to turn 36. Also, I hadn't seen that button generating tool before, it's cool I'm going to have to start using it.
Good concept. It would feel a bit more "space-y" if more of the parameters were tweaked on the standard character controllers ( much lower gravity, faster bouncier movement. ) Also in a finding game like this it'd be nice to have some way to ping a close by object for some hint when stuck even if it costs power.
Nice FTLish start. It's good you got sounds in, hard to judge anything without more scenarios.
@evrim, what's your OS and virus scanner? ( I promise it's not malicious btw :)
Fun little game. I do think it'd be good if it the title screen waiting until it got a full click before continuing. Basically, since I generally died when space was pressed the game would immediately restart instead of waiting until I released and pressed again.
Nice job, ah superstuff's old arch nemesis, low ceilings. I think it'd be nice to have a reticule where I'm aiming, but i get on a mobile device it'd probably just be directly click based.
I liked the art style. As a LD tip you might want to add more of a description and screenshots.
Nice, always good to see a puzzle game. This might just be because I"m on a touchpad now so can't erase easily but a "clear all" button would have been a quick thing that would make the later stages of the puzzles easier
interesting take on the theme, running out of all the power sources. Self referencing humor was good. I wish the speech bubbles wouldn't advance until I had actually done the thing it asked ( had trouble figuring out button for snow gathering since I passed through it quickly )
Hehe... little girls somehow always make it creepy, but it makes the mood work great. I hit a bug where I somehow teleported on top of the ceiling in at the very start of the level after colliding with it. Other than that good job, I'm really happy to see Godot being used more, I think it's a fun engine to use.
The music and the lighting works well together, very much accomplishes your moody goal. Kind of wish first jumping bits weren't such a long fall as I kept hitting the roofs of other platforms and it took awhile to reset so I forgot the first story lines.
Going with flapping plane instead of just a chopper or robot bug made me laugh at that animation. I agree with other's comments above that the hit boxes need to be smaller.
Since I didn't play a lot of FTL I died a lot. I wish I could show the annotations when dragging energy since there weren't many other queues which systems were which. Really good job considering the time constraints.
Cute animations. You can change the second label to say "web" instead of "source code" and probably get more plays. Way easier ( for me at least to play the webGL version.
The web link doesn't seem to work, had to download but ran fine when I got the windows version. It seems weird that in a programming game semicolon doesn't type out, I was just spamming that out of habit.
haha... at the parallax resistors. I like how health is the amount of light as well as on the HUD, good UI.
Running out of power as fast as possible, very in theme. I like your games writing, and real life has written out some of these characters already.
WebGL build was a bit too big for my monitor, had to scroll around to view the HUD
I see, it's the pine cones that have been killing bees, real life conspiracy mystery solved!
Good relaxing game. Kind of wish the pine cones would destroy if I stopped them for long enough but other than that super zen.
I really like playing with social interaction concepts as a core gameplay mechanic! The angry sound made me laugh.
Is there a win state where the players anxiety goes away?
Penalizing players for matching color and shape seemed unintuative from my expectation of memory matching games, I kind of wish the last topic would have just been grayed out or something. I think I just had bad RNG luck because I frequently would get topics added to me that were identical to ones I already had that limited my options.
@steffo Sorry about that, if it's makes you a bit sick on any unreal game built in a non-shipping mode ( including this ) hit tilde and type `ShowFlag.VisualizeMotionBlur 0` into the console. That should turns off the built in post processing effect at least.
Didn't really have time or a had an existing graphics options menu.
@fatpenguin thanks for playing. Those are good suggestions for if we had more time. Thanks for noticing! I make it my personal mission to include my cats in my LD games as an Easter egg... or sometimes more directly :P http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-35/?action=preview&uid=27370
I feel your pain with the unreal webplayer, props just for that. Funny concept, I wish there was more drama with the tiles disappearing behind you.
11/10 You can pet the bird. Seriously huge scope for compo.
I had a small usability issue where I kept forgetting I had to hit "confirm" after gathering a resource. The look of them makes them and frequency makes them seem more like a passing notification rather than a modal to me.
Very nice doing a C++ Direct3D game, haven't seen that in awhile.
Haha... very cute, yet dark. Really nice you had time to get the tutorial and lore in game. UI wise I wish the feeding bars on level 3 would stick to the edges of the screen.
Clean execution of a simple clear concept. I could see a bit more feedback about how much time a successful minigame action bought you being useful.
PocketBombHighScore.PNG
I am all about the hat Mr. Buzz is wearing. He is a fancy fly. Nice job
Great Atmosphere and clear art direction. Difficulty seems really hard for a jam game where players probably don't have a lot of time to understand how to play, but I get running out of dev time.
Fun game. Nice you have such a detailed tutorial.
I kind of got stuck early on my first play through because I lost one of the only two connected servers I had and it seems there's no way of making money without that. The game didn't restart or warn me so time just passed.
Bringing Toilet paper to the dance floor was um... filling me with disturbing thoughts that the dance floor might be slippery and not a fun place to be but I guess that was the point. I Would have thought if you needed other party supplies it would just be a candy vending machine or photo booth props.
I like how the spotlights and other club changes happened through the night, nice feel good feedback about progress.
awww... so sad when I make something that cute die. I agree with what others have said in that this fishing is odd, I think the fishing would make more sense from a side perspective rather than top down, and if the things you hit with your lines didn't get destroyed?
Big scope for a jam, good job.
I like a good windows screen gets linux os themed fedora viruses haha. I do wish I could see scores in the end even if it breaks the whole meta computer analogy a bit since I can't really tell how I did. Not sure if this was just me but I really wanted to be able to "put back" a tool that I picked up on accident and didn't use.
Great first jam game, wise choice to keep it simple so you can finish.
I like the art choice where the brightness = life.
I like the irony in the idea of keeping a party alive by killing the guests, Good concept. But Even with the video I had trouble understanding if a guest was hypnotized.
I got to 3.36%. I like the pure puzzle concept, but like others have mentioned I think it would work better with preset goals in smaller levels rather than random (seemingly) endless pieces.
ha, Nice paint particles. I like the narrative.
Was a bit confused you can just run over bushes too? so not sure if anything is special about those tiles?
This game cheered me up in that I remembered large crowds can be the worst to clean up and babysit very realistic :)
Fun game, The cute animals made me laugh with the sfx. I'm impressed you got tutorial arrows in.
It seems like the difficulty just ramps up in terms of frantic speed and avoiding running into people, I wonder if there are different way to combine tools or anticipating certain animals having a type of problem. It seems like right now I can only get through under a minute.
Great for a first unity game!
My game design improvement feedback is could use more particles to know the shooting water worked :)
Good work. I think it nicely adds to the chill feel that theres other things you can interact with. Desk lamp on, Desk lamp off.
When I read idle game I made an assumption I could somehow buy upgrades that would eventually water my plants but I don't think thats the case here.
I found love, or at least a coffee date! I like the theme take. I think it'd be fun to have more reasons to use your phone... like needing to wait for a bus to pass and be tempted to check social media or just wait haha.
Cute entry. It would help new players a lot if you had more description of the goals I think.
The narrative got a bit dark for me in that I felt a sense of whiplash, from kind of "sensible chuckle" to extensional crisis very quickly.
I think the theme came across best with replacing labels with unlocalized keys. It was the first thing that was like "ah, I see where this is going". Also I'm not sure if it's intended but unity has definitely trained me to see that magenta as a missing texture bug as well.
Most surprising is just from the screenshots how I've just been trained to assume a reigns UI instead of just clicking on cards.
I feel like this is one of those games where you made the game you wanted to make and it fits together in it's own way. I had a lot of trouble seeing the text on the cards I was selecting after the snake game, so things got a bit random for me there.
Meta bug report: There's a typo in your description. "Loose the game" instead of lose.
@raykon The boxes on the side of the grids aren't just supposed to represent machines, but rather they represent individual test runs of software at a specific place and time on a specific machine. So that includes a lot of factors that will cause the software to possibly show different behavior that when a programmer tries to repro it in other circumstances will "work on my machine."
Yeah, the closed doors are a bit of a stretch. Obviously we're not artists and I mechanically just needed something that symbolized a tile the scanners wouldn't be able to look past and you couldn't put a bug down on the tile. I thought that closed doors are the cause of many bugs in video games ( Vox just did a whole video on it www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYEWsLdLmcc ) so fit right into a game where the theme was bugs ( also AI Agents often can't path through to get good automated test coverage.) So really I skinned the blockers as doors there because it's funny to me that "how doors should work but often aren't worth the time to implement because so many things can go wrong" is such a popular game dev discussion.
FYI @wedgiebee @zachary-barbanell @maluskhan @shared and others looking at the length, We added a few more levels in a post jam version, a more gradual ramp up mostly ( not for judging obviously, but good to finish a thing that was bothering me ): https://mollyjameson.github.io/HidingHeisenbugsHosted/
Fun puzzle platformer, I for one love your next level programmer art :smile: Checkpoints would really up the fun factor in the more timing heavy sections.
Wow, I'm really impressed with what you were able to accomplish in the jam. Feels very complete and I feel like I get the tone you were going for. The music does really drive home what layer you're on.
FYI I had to copy paste the link rather than clicking on it, doesn't seem to be downloading immediately.
Human voice and SPLUNK sfx is very relaxing.
Nice entry. The weather system really makes it more interesting to look at and I kind of felt it made the seas choppier like it should but that was probably just the game progressing.
I do wish there were something a bit more attention drawing as I got lower on health. My death was a bit of a surprise as I wasn't watching the HUD.
( aaaarrrggh... A fine game matey, and other pirate phrases. )
Very unstable news cycle ;) These guys sell some papers. I wish there were some tooltips on mouse hover for what some of the later purchases were. A few of them were hard to tell what text they related to.
Good job, I liked the consistent humor tone.
Some of the platforming surprised me a little bit, I would expect the thing elevator type platforms to have cloud collision and let me jump through them on the way up and just stop me landing, instead I found I got stuck on corners in the room in the upper right.
Great game. This is one of the most complete narrative games I've seen in LD, congrats. I had fun but still lost.
I bought so much into the world thanks to the CRT effects that every time I couldn't get left/right arrow/home and repeat key pressed didn't work it was a super jarring fantasy break, which means the rest of it is really immersive. That said props for putting in up arrow as a priority, I am for sure one of those people who will hit up 20 times to not retype "ls" :)
I loled every time at the star grabbing animation. The music is super fitting too. It's feels like a cozy Ikaruga.
I kind of wish the head/hand selection was on mousewheel instead of right click so I could directionally control them and right click was for skipping the current color though.
I love a good old punny as the name, spell hehe. The screenshots and name made me first think it was going to be a typing game rather than a word puzzle game though. I beat the demo without understanding the insert mechanic so maybe more explanation is needed there?
I really like the concept, but was also confused about if I was in the buy or sell state at first. Good job finishing a LD game, always fun to see Godot games on here.
It'd also be easier to compare my scores to other people if there was a set time limit or some monthly checkpoints for an end goal.
Well crafted puzzles. I realize this is probably part of the difficulty but man, my kingdom for an undo.
I win! Fun and lets me get out years of anger at the entire sokoban genre of puzzles. I do wish there was a separate animation state indicating the character was in a "pull" state though.
This is the first game I've seen using Defold, how do you like it? Was thinking of trying it next Jam.
Fun puzzle, glad you were able to finish something. and cool someone else used bevy! I was able to get past the first few levels but kind of got stuck. Would really like some first letter limited hint to at least get on the right track although I realize starting/ending letters is the primary clue it's easy just to feel stuck.
Well done, feels different but still knowable. The levels pacing feels right for concept introductions.
Wow, you have a lot of layers that got in, very fun. Really impressed with getting all the connective bits like the map and choices together for a jam. The main thing that seemed missing was not having a way to view my current health and candle status on the card choice screen.
Very nice game. The game feel is very nice to use, I was happy to see my character just path around the stumps if I held a direction down.
Because of the square grid shape it took me a bit to realize I was mapping the edges and not the tiles, but then was able to stamp stuff down.
Nice puzzle. The showing the cube in the right preview position feels really good under your cursor when in a valid position, but when in an invalid position the lack of snapping made me feel like I was guessing and floating a bit.
Very interesting. I didn't make an immediate connection between the shape implying the rules, but was able to figure it out. I'm glad there was a way out of The Eternal Suffering room first as they was the first thing I did seeing the text.
Fun game. I wish the sfx audio had a bit more variety as it did get kind of scratchy when I kept being a perfectionist and redrawing. It's not something I usually think about how much harder it is to draw slight curves with a mouse than any lines.
I got all 10 creatures. I like the cats.
The hitbox for the red potion is a bit big, I accidently clicked red when I meant blue a few times. It'd be nice to have more reminders about what combos I already tried and some kind of mastermind style number of guesses until failure.
hm, I downloaded the exe from here and similar to silverice above I could only talk to people and shoot lasers. I tried some buttons randomly to see if there was an inventory of some kind but even the scientist on the bottom didn't seem to offer me paint.
I do love me some expanded lore though.
Very nice! Thank you so much for the design decision to do the math for me and show the + green numbers before placing a card.
Dog name reveal got a sensible chuckle out of me.
I wish it was a bit more forgiving on when interact would work, I felt like I needed to be really on top of everyone instead of at a reasonable talking/serving distance before Spacebar would work and didn't have any prompts that it would
Fun puzzle, your screen transitions look polished. Tip for folks playing after me, the summon HUD button is offscreen until you fullscreen on the itch webgl build.
Very nice game. I can see all the systemy design that came with it and it has a nice zen tone. It's a bit hard to get a sense of "progress" without some sort of UI letting me remember all the combos. I like that the cards have an immediate sense of rarity, very clear. I'm not sure I felt rewarded enough when I combined 3 cards instead of 2.
Nice game. I'm always so happy when I see time for little polish optional features in jams, "Bubbles On" forever.
The atmosphere is very cool everything really fits together well. I Could use a bit more prompting on the controls. I was accidently ending with space a lot.
Very much "Games to lofi summon to". Word throwing physics felt responsive without feeling like a frantic pace, good job.
As not an outdoorsy person I had no idea how incompatible bird watching and running were until I was trying when playing your game, I've learned something today.
The concept and audio made me laugh out loud on just the title screen. This is one of the few games that hits the "mood" and "humor category. Although it would have felt better with controller analog support though.
I got 3000 points. I don't think the embedded window size on itch is right, I was missing the entire bottom menu until I fullscreened.
Very cute sprites and sound. It is unexpectedly missing some conversions of the genres like the towers not prioritizing the creeper closest to the end of the path and the match 3 part not allowing input by clicking on one piece then another and instead forcing you to always drag. I suppose problems like this are the issue when needing to do twice as much for two types of games in a short timeframe.
I like the idea, but I also kept getting unlucky and the first alpha lock I found only got me 3 currency and they felt really rare. Good job being super intuitive when I was ready to quit I just typed "exit" out of habit without thinking and it worked.
Fun with references, I'm glad we're all watching the same youtube compilations of the worst computer related dialogue.
Trivia questions are hard to pick/write and these felt pretty spot on in terms of not being to esoteric or easy, good job. Human sfx always make me laugh.
The ability to regrab the ropes when you get hit successfully makes it not too punishing, but your first time to a certain area feels like some trial and error is required.
I really like that your credits screen at the end is interactive, that little extra bit of polish is noticeable.
Cool, The neon lights make it clear where to go and give it a unique art style. I agree I think I'd stay in the flow more if End Turn were just a keyboard button with maybe a confirmation prompt than having to switch into menu controls.
I think some of these customers are actually too nice, only thing breaking the realistic immersion. Blender is hardcore so good getting these done in the jam timeframe.
I really liked the hand colored art style. Some of the jumps are really long for a game that isn't really a hardcore platformer and could just checkpoint respawn you nearer to the jump you died in rather than the restarting.
Hope you recovered everything else on your computer okay, sounds like that super sucked.
Solid combo of two genres. I wish the clicker purchases had some indication of their energy per second generation so you have better choices on what has the best return.
Fun, I think it's generally a better jam strategy to have fun mechanics over a few levels than trying to just stick with content you had that wasn't working. Leave us wanting more... although I suspect more would just be procedural level generation if there was time.
awwww, Cute Pet, the most important part of a pet sim. Since it requires two clicks to move it be nice if I had a highlight or something for my first click. I haven't seen a game requiring the JRE in awhile and like to use gamejams for new tech. I hadn't heard of libgdx, seems cool.
Welcome to Ludum Dare, congrats on your first entry it's super cute and well set up by the sad mood start!
As a playtest comment I found myself wanting the tip of the knife to be in the peanut butter jar, and not my mouse cursor which was way down on the handle.
Congrats on finishing your first entry! Learning to work with what kind of art you can create is a skill that develops over a few jams. I like how the game like a triple genre combo shooter + detective + platformer ( I did get stuck in some platforms though )
I feel you're being busy but still wanting to submit pain. Yeah, High five for finishing something playable! Also high five for Godot default assets speeding up development!
Having full area of effect cards made me feel super powerful, nice. It'd be easier for new players if you had a "how to play/controls" section in you're description. Hit a bug when clicking fast through the menu I somehow ended up with "NaN" values on all the cards making them free.
Nice, you got a lot in. The shop is hard to discover on your own since the farming part of the game makes it seem like you should plant ( hehe ) yourself in one place and not explore much. I think it's clearer if you update your description to include features like the shop. I had to play again because I try not to read comments before I play, but always read the descriptions carefully.
Nice entry. FYI You can opt out of some categories if they don't make sense like I was not able to hear any audio, or maybe I just didn't get far enough.
I like people submitting board games to LD. When writing instructions it's clearer if you split the single vs MP instructions I think. I had to read the final note about how to play alone then go through and skim the rules again.
Funny dialog and costumes for the kitties. From a UI perspective I wish there were highlights when you switch to needing to click specifically on cards rather than the text, that tripped me up for a second.
Zany and fun, I laugh at the idea of football hooligans just like throwing just cars onto the field.
