Really fun to play! Enjoyable mechanics and very true to the theme.
A bit hard to figure out. Interesting concept though.
Fun game, though the UI makes it hard to play and keep track of enemy progress. Cool idea though!
Took me a bit to get how it works. Other than that, very fun and addicting game. Would benefit from some audio though.
@jefvel chrome
@jefvel Oh no, my bad. What I meant was that it would benefit from some music or some more audio design. It does have audio, but it does not really contribute to the atmosphere.
I really liked the Undertale-ish art. Gameplay was fun but I encountered a bug where I couldn't plant anything. One of my favourite entries so far. Some more variations would be nice.
Figuring out how to play was really fun. Very pretty graphics and overall great feel.
Phenomenal art and rather intense mood. That aside, seeing as this is a story game, the story should have been a bit tidier and tied up better. Overall excellent entry.
Great artstyle and polish. Sad it wasn't longer :P
Fun, frustrating (in a good way) with really good atmosphere.
@toxichouse yeah, when the revolution starts, the values start ticking down per second instead of receiving a per day increase or reduction, and the resources given become a flat numerical increase. I think we should have communicated that better. The executions exist both to portray the 30 days of terror and to help balance your resources when they start ticking down. Thanks for the review!
Bravo! Really cool atmosphere and art. Voice acting was a nice touch. My only issue lies with how repetitive and impossible the game becomes. The NPCs that can spot you move in a spastic fashion which makes it a bit annoying. Other than that really great!
Mood is great, and the card art is lovely. The 3d art feels a bit ... off? I also found it very easy to win, both times I played it. Loved the addition of the poem.
Great pixel art, fun concept. You should think about adding more classes.
Low poly art is good, animations are fun, though it gets a bit repetitive.
Love the wolf bodyguard.Pacing was a bit hectic, but that's to be expected.
Excellent mood and sound design!
Stellar entry. I don't think I got how the trade values worked, aside the red < white < yellow. Also the new dice button got waaaaaay too expensive after a bit and I ran out of dice.
Hahahaha, rather terrifying I must admit.
Oh, how I've missed a good game with a conspiracy board. This entry hit the spot :)
Great mood and atmosphere. I was actually quite hooked on the narrative. Sadly I couldn't reach the ending :(
@vitor-milioni Thanks for the kind words! Yeah we thought of adding a limit to the brakes, but then we noticed that using the brakes too much actually could hinder the player, so we left it as is.
@bobafett89 Hahaha I had a friend make a similar request.
Great entry! My only suggestion would be the addition of being able to lose.
Magnificent. I'm sad that LD does not support some sort of favourite games list.
One of my favourite entries thus far. Really fun to play and especially inspiring since it came from a team of 2! You should have added a humour rating as well tbh. Really liked the whole narrative idea.
Great audio design and artwork. A bit static though sadly.
Engaging worldbuilding and atmosphere. Sadly, I couldn't play much since the jumping seems rather bugged.
Fun little entry. The intro really set a great mood! To be frank, I didn't really get how it worked, so my suggestion would be to better explain the system.
Great atmosphere. Loved the graphics. It felt rather short though and the UI was a bit hard to read.
What did I just play hahahaha. The upgrade system is a nice touch. I didn't quite get how the normalize direction worked.
As others have previously stated, this is an awesome entry!
The pixel art really set the mood. The voice acting is stellar, and the music chilling.
Kudos for the sound effects, they really brothe life into the game. And let's not forget the wordsmithing :wink:
My only gripe is with the RNG honestly. The first fight felt kinda tedious and slow, but maybe it was due to me still trying to understand the game. The next fights went by much faster, but still the RNG made the gameplay a teensy bit infuriating at times :laughing:
All in all, one of my favourite entries thus far.
Toodleoo!
P.S. There is a bug in the Rook's fight, where if you perish the music doesn't play when you fight the Rook again.
Oh god, I was about to go to sleep. Thanks for that :laughing:, at least it's friday tomorrow...
One of my fav entries. Caused be PTSD 10/10.
@hawkin thanks! It was a big (but also quite pleasant) surprise getting 3rd place in the Humor category.
Great entry! Goes to show that a simple idea executed correctly can still dazzle!
Also f**k those purple sh!ts :laughing:
Loved the Portal-themed aesthetic! The looping track really conveys that feeling.
I wish I had read that after a while the timer gets half filled :laughing: I had just unlocked the automate action and I had no flowers remaining. Then I was asked for a black dhalia :stuck_out_tongue:
