The Audio is good! that's the first thing i noticed. it was quite fun, the chalk is so slippery tho.
The system is too in-depth imo. That's ok, but when you put all the details into a small box, it become impossible to understand
Fun game! it was a bit slow at first it catches up later. It's easy if you know what to upgrade tho
My highscore is 1560 :D
It's a bit plain i think.. need some more effects to make it good!
I'm having trouble publishing a webgl version of the game. If anyone can tell me where&how to host it, i'll publish it
Changed the web version to another location, hope it works
The hand and slingshot doesn't have any different other than it's speed. You'd maybe want to use hand so that the coin doesn't travel too far and despawn before you have the chance to pick it up ^^
Thanks for playing!
Can't play it :(
Could not load level menu.txt
Everything is nice except the collision. I got stuck a lot just like others
Pretty nice game :) I love seeing stuff get destroyed haha. I would like it to be easier to control though, Just can't seem to hit anything xD.
@coauctor Haha, i thought so too. Apparently, that's the indication that the play button is selected. Just press enter.
The game was ok, not my favorite since it's a puzzle but i don't really need to think a lot. Just reset a few times without thinking and i'll pass the level eventually.
The UI can get more improvement. Similar to the guy above me, i was having trouble entering the game until i just try clicking enter and stuff. Can't really read the instructions too for some reason.
Overall, it's a decent game for killing time :)
I like the graphic and the concept. But the gameplay is too slow. It's annoying to turn around and attacking doesn't feel satisfying either.
Nice puzzle. Quite hard though.
Nice simple game. It's a bit too easy for me. It'd be nice to have an indicator when i hit the enemy. I assumed there was a range since it looks like a shotgun. But turns out i can stand in the middle and hit any enemy. Nice visuals. Would be great to have more movement options. Nice one overall :D
Nice concept! The game was kinda clunky though. If you had enough time, i think this would've been a great game. Keep up the great work :D
I like how it's so casual :). I thought i was gonna crash to the ground but -w-. The music was kinda annoying though.
Nice simple game, not much challenge though. Got bored after a while since it's just shooting 5 bullet every few second
My first try of the game, lost because of zombie army haha. I was like, oh man i'll fill the screen with zombies, nope.... I like the balance, makes it harder. Might be a tad bit too hard tho :).
The 1 thing i don't like is the bullet. It's very hard to see for me. Other than that, if this game a bit faster and easier, i'd love to play this on my phone :D
Concept was nice. Controls are ok. Decent game. My biggest issue with the game is the music. I think the game will be better without it. The dialogue was a bit annoying and the fonts are hard to read. I think a serious setting will be better. Overall, could be better
Nice game! I gave up on level 5 but otherwise, Great mechanic and execution. 1 thing i had trouble with is finding out which direction up or down will move to. But that's just for level 1 and 2.
The game was quite nice. I think my main problem with it is that the platforms are not really friendly. Sometimes, I don't know if i'll need to simply jump or use the propeller. Sometimes, it feels like i have to jump but if i do, i'll fall anyway. Enemy was kinda useless. Decent game overall.
This is.. amazing... I can't believe i'm seeing a game this good in a game jam haha. Graphics, music, plot was awesome. However, the controls was kinda annoying at times. When skipping the dialogue too fast, the game can kinda bug out and jump into it's over. And also, it's annoying to have to reach for my mouse every time. Other than that, this is the best game i've played so far
@hunttis Haha, glad you liked the cutscene. That was literary the first thing i worked on even before knowing what the game will be like. I didn't have enough time to adjust the balance of the game. At the very end, i lowered the difficulty by a lot. Thought it was going to be to easy but apparently not :)
@angela-he Thanks! And I'm envious of your drawing skills :b Now that you mentioned it, minimap sounds like something I should've spared some time to implement! A bit regretful now haha. *** One of the inspiration that helped me made this game was [Robby](http://www.windows93.net/#!robby) (Ps. I can't find the original link to the game). At first, I was afraid that the game was going to be too short. I started making the story in the evening. By night, I haven't finished even 1 minute of gameplay!
In Robby, you're not meant to finish the game in one go. So I took this idea and I guess made the game too hard haha xD. (Finished making the game at 5am, submission is at 8am my local time)
I don't know why but the clicking sound always seem to sync with the music. If that's intentional, amazing work!
Not my favorite game but it's an interesting take on the theme. I wonder how you interpret running out of power as writer block haha. Atmosphere and mood was spot on.
Nice simple game. Not much i can say really, it's a very simple game. But it's good since it's properly executed. Smooth animations, decent graphics and level. Music was boring and repetitive tho
Turns out to be a surprisingly fun game! I would love to have this on my phone
The game crashed when I pressed up twice. Played twice, crashed both times. Walking is quite slow and I'm not sure where I have to go after I reach the 2nd room. Is it just survive as long as possible? I don't like how dashing to robots spreads the energy around. To take it, I need to use some power. After taking it, I'm at the same energy level as before I took it... Overall, nice concept but not really executed that well

A really nice game. However, you should feel bad for yourself... Those bunnies didn't do anything wrong :/ I thought my game is bad enough. But yours is next level.
But seriously though, great game. I like almost everything about it. Great jumping feel/physics, nice graphics, suits the mood, great concept! The only problem i feel is the fact that some level are really time based. As in you have to perfectly execute certain movements to complete the level. And last but not least, as others mentioned, i think it'll be better if there's a separate button for toggle 1 rabbit or toggle all rabbit. I kept overthinking the level when the solution isn't that hard.
Overall, i think this it the best game I've played so far, especially as a compo game. Great job! :thumbsup:
The most interesting game i've played so far xD. I like the singing at the end haha. Made the game for me, good work ^^
Wow, this game is much more in depth than i originally thought haha. I can't win though, been stuck with 8 friends for awhile now. The graphics are really unique.
At first glance, i loved it. After playing for awhile on full screen, it made me a bit dizzy though. I think it'll be nice if there are multiple layers involved here. So for example, the characters are a layer above the background and thus make texture is a bit different.
Other than that, nice concept and game :grinning:
The game was pretty fun. Might need to import on the physics(Trajectory,movements(removing acceleration?)).
I like the concept of the game. Would be nice if you include some sort of instruction though. Also, it's a bit hard for me to remember which monster have what trait. Maybe a button to make it show up? Would be nice if there's some music too. But on the other side, I really like the mechanic of the game :). I love moving them around, feels very smooth. At the end of the day, I think i'd like to play a polished version of this game on my phone to fill time :grin:
Nice game with simple but fun mechanics. I always liked management games like these. Reminded me of those games where you have to land airplanes safely without crashing. I think this game will be awesome if you polish it and add more challenging factors to the gameplay. I'd love to see it on mobile once it's polished :)
Gameplay wise, pretty decent. The crowd was very annoying though. I know it's part of the game but it feels more annoying than challenging. I like how you die with 1 bullet. At first i didn't know i can roll. So the game was fun. Too bad the crowd just broke the experience for me. Could've been better making it on other aspect imo. Really like the other gameplay though.
Pretty nice game. Could use some musics though. Also, i find it pretty hard to react quickly when the black thing appears from the top. It messes me up so bad. Maybe an indicator is pretty nice? And also controls using mouse would be nice, since it's hard to know how fast the character will turn when i press the arrow button. Overall, nice graphic and concept though :)
I really like the theme. The game itself was ok, music wise it's a bit lackluster to me. I'd rather hear some ambient sounds or none at all rather than random notes played over and over again. Controls are very hard. Not sure if it's just me or that's really your intention. But I feel as if my bullet doesn't really shoot to where i point it towards. Theme wise, it's a 5 from me. Looking forward to seeing you next LD :)
Wow, simple but great game. I really love the mechanics. Gameplay wise could use some more adjustments, but really great for a 48 hours game. Controls are kinda weird but it's only 2 buttons so whatever. Takes a bit of time to get used to.
I see some great highscores here. However, not good enough @Yngvarr :smiling_imp:hs.png
@yngvarr Sure i can :wink: (Dammit, i have a deadline due tomorrow) hs.png
Nice work on the game! Felt like it's an actual published game. I don't normally like playing games with spaceships. But I played plenty long for yours. I think the difficulty of the game is quite weird. Sometimes, a lot of enemies just spawn. Other time, it's too easy. Especially since the power up are kinda OP. Overall, great game :)
Interesting concept :D. I was very interested to play until the end. However, there's just too much instruction to get you started. I think if the game includes a somewhat tutorial level or something along those lines, it's going to be very entertaining. Other than that, very solid game :)
Fast and fun game :). A little more polish and this game is something i can find showing up in playstore as recommended.
Nice game! I love the dream transitions. The graphics and music change was awesome. Gameplay wise, I suck at the game though. Nice work :D
I like the concept of the game. However, i find the gameplay objective to be a bit confusing. Part of it is probably because you show the time survived and light at death on the end. Maybe combine those into some kind of score? Other than that, great game :)
Nice idea haha! I saw a game leveraging windows as well few LD's ago. Been wanting to make something like it but i didn't even know you can do that on the browser O.o. At some point, there were just too much windows for me and it confuses the heck out of me. Also, the browser started lagging and made the movement feels laggy. So there's that. But overall, very nice concept and execution :D
The gameplay concept is pretty nice. However, the execution might need some improvement :). The camera keeps teleporting when it reach a certain angle. And some music will be nice too.
Nice concept. But 5 second into the game, all i was wondering was why can't the enemy die. Tried shooting, squashing(like mario) then i realized it's not meant to be killed :sweat_smile:
Like others have mentioned, I have trouble jumping and shooting at the same time. The physics feels a bit weird. Growing mechanic was fine. However, I feel like growing based on time is not the best way to approach this. Not sure what's better though.
Overall, pretty nice game. I think the biggest problem is with the controls. If you fix that, it would be much better :)
Nice game you have here XD. Love the graphics, sound and idea. However, the game is too hard for me. Kept losing just when the second character comes T_T. Well done with the game :smile:
Like others, the game bugged out in the rewards screen. I think there are more depth to the game but I just didn't reach far enough. I felt like i'm just playing cards that reduce either willpower/health/virtue and the round is won.
Cards wise, I think there should be less text, or at least make it less apparent. My first minute was spent trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do with the text.
UI could be better as it felt kinda buggy in certain places. However, I commend the effort with the drag and drop. The atmosphere of the game is nice. I think it'll be amazing if there are good sound effects but that's asking a bit much for a game jam.
Overall, pretty strong submission :)
I didn't know what's happening at first and was surprised when my villager suddenly almost died >.> Not a bad game overall. I think making an "endless" game in LD is kinda rough as the balance is really hard to get right. On the other hand, those games take less time to make and it makes it up in the end.
The gameplay feels a bit bland as I think you protect 1 villager by endlessly kiting the enemy. A bit boring so I didn't try it for long. Maybe it doesn't work? Who knows.
I like that you make the game in HTML. I did one of my submission with React and it was a lot of fun! Hopefully you did as well :).
As mentioned, the movement of friends could be better. I find myself wanting to just stop and shoot the enemy(could make it hold to shoot, my fingers are tired haha). Gameplay wise, you could try and make a connection between the enemy and the food. As it stands right now, the focus is on food. My plan would be to only shoot enemy as i see and try my longest to survive.
In terms of graphics and sound, i like it! Shooting feels rather fun(minus the fact you have to click every time). UI could be better. The health bar should be made more obvious. Perhaps a flashing red screen when you're low on HP? And maybe even a sound effect.
Overall nice submission :)
As other mentioned, intro could be shorter. For some reason there's no sound during it for me as well.
Gameplay wise, i kinda like the concept, but it's too slow. I think if it's faster pace with more hp, this will be more fun.
Balance wise, you can just make the large knight and kill enemies before they even enter the screen so.... definitely can be improved.
Really nice game! It's really short though haha. Ended before i knew it. One of the thing that's a bit annoying is the dialogue. When you keep repeating a single level, having to talk to the witch over and over is kinda annoying. Maybe if you polish this game more, make it so that the witch is an entire new level? Just a thought.
Just like most mentioned, the gameplay is pretty lacking. Graphics and sound are not bad. But i found myself bored after a quick play through of the game. Definitely can be improved next time :)
The concept is kinda interesting. Adding the randomness makes it different every time you play the game. In terms of concept, i'd give it a pretty high score. My current strategy is to get as much resources as you can in the first 15 years. After that, hope you have enough resources to sacrifice and get that win. This means, get workshop as early as possible (use the sacrifice). Then hope for good roll until you can add it up and get the other upgrades. Something like that.
As far as game play goes, others have mentioned but the UI could be better. I didn't know what i was doing until i force myself to read the text(a bit mouthful imo). The most apparent thing is 1. The upgrade(?) button 2. What [A][A] means. I got lucky with that one and figured it out after 1 playthrough.
Otherwise, good job :)
Not sure why but the timer keeps going down for me. After it reaches some number, it just goes to 0 again. I think I had a good score too :(
Anyway, I like the movement! Feels smooth and movement speed is good. The spells could be more balanced (as everyone just uses fireball) and the key map could be better.
The one thing that bugs me the most is the enemy attack. The hitbox for enemy attack isn't really clear and there aren't any feedback other than your life. Most time i go "Really??" when it hits me. My suggestion would be to make the enemy a bit faster, but they have an attack animation once they reach you. This way, perhaps it's not only avoiding, but you can dodge them? Just a suggestion.
Overall, I really like it, nice game!
