Liked the movement. More than mechwarrior, it reminded me of warhammer games, especially the board game. Was just one level, right? Found the exit but couldn't go through it. Just the connection to the theme was a little bit thin... Otherwise, well done! :)
Can't load the second harpoon? I get one shot, kill one monster and thats it?
I can't believe I missed the re-collecting part of the harpoon! I can rate your game yess! Oh, and regarding my game; you can click on civillian ships and see their direction and speed. Then use the clock on the bottom right to keep how much time they take to go from point a to b, and use that as a guideline for your own torpedo :) I know, it was far fetched, but tutorial explains this... Though most people seem to miss and it was impossible to make an animated tutorial in that narrow time... Thanks for the comments, though :D
The art could be something nice in a bigger environment and more complete game. Controls are ok but sounds have some itch, weapon sound sometimes doesn't play. Also level transitions were a bit funky. But this can lead to a nice big complete game if you arrange gameplay design a bit more...
The best take on the theme so far. Definately very creative and enjoyable. Well done, sir.
Cool but a little bit on the easy side :) I must admit I felt like swinging my weapons hollywood style which was fun and led me to my freedom :)
Nice atmosphere :)
I got the white dressed girl at the end for myself but couldn't find a way to jump back? Even with the holy powers of the horn of mighty fartin', I still only am able to jump half the way.
Fellow C2 user, I congragulate you all for this wonderfull game, very well done. Arts, music, theme, everything is in place. Gj :D
Only problem is white characters were unreadable over yellow background. Other than that, I like such simple mechanics and the game seems to be well thought out. Also, other than the menu, excellent visual presentation. Well Done.
need help can't get out of the first room :) ?
oh god, how did I fail that! I am really getting old :( It was a nice setup, but too difficult to enjoy. Definately will wait for the post-compo version.
Nice overall style, but a little too hard maybe :) I could only last 4 waves. I am bad square :(
It's nice, got me freaked out :)
Very good game indeed, can't believe this is a 72 hour. Graphics are excellent, gameplay is dynamic. there is a little bit inertia on character, sound effects are excellent, there is an upgrade system, and player can improve his/her own playing skill too! Only one complaint: moving upwards or downwards is very dangerous because you can't see far ahead, enemies can jump on you easily :) Other than that, definately one of the best, if not the best, entry I have seen for this LD. Congrats :)
it's nice but a little bit too tiny :) Also a little bit distant from the theme but can be a nice "other" game :)
It's nice game but couldn't get the connection with the theme :)
Very nice simple thematic game :) We really liked it alot!
Well, this is the bottom of the "you only get one" theme. Nothing can beat this. You only get one press and one chance and one click :D
Reversed Limbo graphics! I must say I liked this style better, good job on style! Gameplay is a little bit repetitive but forgiven for the style. Well done.
I really wished while on air your socks didn't get dirty... But I guess there are enough germs in the air to contaminate them :D Nice mechanic, I liked the graphic style and music. Very well done.
Man this is awesome but rather difficuılt. Or I suck at these beat'em up'ish games. But the music, man, dat minimal yet effective music! I also liked the challenge, even though I kept failing. Congrats, fellow C2 user!
Character movement was a little stiff but once I get past this I really enjoyed it. The mood was perfectly set, and the ending was just so sad.
Very nice concept and idea, this one definately needs a post-compo version.
I touched the orb but doesn't do much I guess :) Loved the sound and visual clues. Detailed buildings too! I wish we could gain altitude a little bit faster, though, the orb is too fast for slow ascend :(
What the twitter, man...
Does it have an alternative ending? I just didn't know what to do in the cardiac monitor level? Should I have kept clear of walls? Should I keep beating? Should I get the diamond shaped thing? What is the oxygen bar? And when I failed there, I couldn't try again. So very well designed game with just one color! I liked the story presentation, it was emotional. Gameplay was simple but effective, childish but it should be so! Nice game overall, except the ending gameplay part! :D
Graphics are nice, auido is not that bad except the jump sound, minor graphic glitch when reload-shooting is easily forgettable. Quite fun, and most importantly, quite in-line with the theme. I say nice job.
Enjoyed the gameplay and graphics, and the take on the theme was accurate. Gold income as a little lower than I expected, but I maybe this gives importance to greed is good skill... However, experience and gold were disappearing from the level so greed skill is hard to use in future levels. But overall, a very nice arena game, definately one of the good ones of this LD, and I would really love to see a post-compo version that walks it's own way.
I enjoyed this very much, the presentation, the graphic style all was nice.
I want what you smoked this weekend!
Nice try, good idea... But all the mazes I got were very easy. I feel they could be larger, and maybe just a little bit variety inside the maze too.
Nice level end jokes :) Jumpoing is a bit itchy but the concept is there. I couldn't get the connection with the theme though?
This is a nice little idea! I liked the trapped door at last level. Jumping is a little fuzzy, though, and it would have been nice to be able to see a little bit further, because sometimes you can't see where you are going to jump :) The hardships of being a mage, I guess :)
Hard but fun :)
Nice idea, it felt "clever" to try to get the coins that you can't get if you just run past. Definately a good first entry, really should be proud.
Hey, dogs should love cold water man :) Nice entry, just the music was a little bit distracting...
Nice! I really enjoyed sailing and settling, but I couldn't get fresh water? And once settled, we stay there,right?
Nice delivery. A little bit too short gameplay-wise, but it was a good experience. Ending text could have been just a little bit shorter. Not much, just a little bit :)
[This comment is not about this game, but I couldn't find how to PM] @Nichii nooo it's only my fault for not explaining it clearly. If I had more time I could have made a better tutorial, but this is the challange of the Ludum Dare and it was my first one, so you are not an idiot but I failed at a clear tutorial! I would be glad if you kept trying and solved the mechanics, once you do, it's a great pride to score hits! Thanks for the nice comments!
Wow I'm so proud I did it in my first try, even after hitting asteroids twice and loosing a good portion of my control! But I felt the power and took the shot!
It definately carries the theme. My only complaint is the size of the screen, I wish it was larger. It was difficult to distinct the asteroids from eachother. I could reduce my desktop resolution I guess :)
Good little game, and don't worry, gameplay is good. It just needs a couple more levels and difficulty settings I think :)
Very nice artwork, very nice mood. Though I played for quite some time and no ending happened? I had foxes, I had the energy bar full? Maybe I had to keep on playing but the challange stayed the same...
Got me an 680 and corner suicided instead of letting that pesky tail eat my head! Very interesting and nice game :)
Nice gameplay, don't worry about difficulty and the comments about it. The games used to be this hard, maybe even harder in the past. Gameplay is very addictive, I played it for 20 minutes straight. Considering how fast it is, this is really nice. Well done!
Got to the boss with 39k points, put a good fight up to him, dodging bullets in bullet time, but his armor was too good for mu gunz. I was like the flash of lightning, jumping around in the darkness of the clouds, but the swarm of bullets gave me no way. I was cornered and killed. Overall nice, just wished there were some powerups. And sounds :)
It's a very challenging but a very nice game. Just a little bit distant from the theme but feeding only one per bafflewatchamatcha's counts I guess. But it's definately original, well presented, solid gameplay. It's worth learning the rules. I was able to get to round 5 and saw an "L" can you believe it:)
It was nice, though it took quite a time to understand what was going on.
Nice idea! I could live to 57 years and left 570 dollars to my heirs :)
Really enjoyed it, waiting for a polished version now :)
Very nice game, one of the best "you only get one" themes, nice colro scheme and pixel art, good gameplay! Really enjoyed this one, one of the best of this LP I've seen! Great work!
Thanks everyone, glad you enjoyed it. I really wanted to improve the tutorial but 48 hours is really tight :) And if only I could get a couple more levels in! I am definately going to make a post-compo version though.
@ocarina of lime, thanks for the feedback! I added the stopwatch and civillian ships so that you can calculate how much time they take travelling a distance, compare their speed and maybe even set your torpedo to their speed! Maybe in the post-compo version, in easy difficulty, I could add some other measurement devices. Thanks for playing! :D
@jimmypaulin thanks for the good words. I know about the difficulty, and I really intended to add some visual clues and other tools like the watch, but it was my first LD and couldn't use the time good enough.
@Nichii nooo it's only my fault for not explaining it clearly. If I had more time I could have made a better tutorial, but this is the challange of the Ludum Dare and it was my first one, so you are not an idiot but I failed at a clear tutorial! I would be glad if you kept trying and solved the mechanics, once you do, it's a great pride to score hits! Thanks for the nice comments!
strange, it must be something about your chrome settings :( Would you try windows version please? It is also possible that your graphic card drivers are not up to date. Thanks for trying anyways :)
@Jiggawatt thanks for the lets play on twitch and the review. UI and especially button design is a mess, completely aware of that. But even with all the instructions people seem to miss the how-to-do part so I felt the need to be explanative. The refresh button is, as you can see by the wibbles and wobbles was a last-minute work :D All these problems I am currently fixing on post-compo build.
Oh, and if I didn't randomize every time you missed, you wouldn't have had one chance, would you :) That would be against the theme :P Now that the compo is over maybe on easy difficulty ...
Art style, composition, characters are very beautiful and overall graphical quality is very good. Controls are a bit funky, though. Couldn't get the connection to the theme?
The first ludum dare 28 game that I played to the end. Level 2-2 got quite a few tries but somehow I didn't give up. Definatelt needs more levels, though.
It's a good idea and I liked it, however when getting to the second screen line got stuck in the mouse and when I clicked the green boxes, the levels ended prematurely. I finished in 18 lines.
Is it just two screens?
Nice idea, I like these different games a lot, especially when they are delivered right. Only complaint is the connection to the theme being a little bit thin. Other than that, well done!
Nice, thought fourth level is quite discouraging :)
This is beautiful. I don't know why I felt the compulsion to give all those lazy people what they want. It was maddening after going through the mushroom caves, though! I could either take a wheel or a football with me and I chose the wheel, and the first person I saw asked for the ball! :D Nice graphics, nice overall quality; but what is the connection to the theme? You only carry one item is it?
It turns out I have never played labyrinth style games before and it turns out this is actually fun! I felt my brain working in a distinct way which was new for me and the mechanics, ctulhu atmosphere all contributed to the fun. Enjoyed much!
Couldn't understand what was going on. I was sending babies to hell and exploding civillians...?
I think Lana ate Bobby :) This one definately needs a post-compo work. Something about the mood and graphics really made me want to play more.
Nice mechanic, steampunk everywhere! Shoot-em-round? Nice overall! Though the connection to the theme is rather weak?
It's very depressing. I think you should do a post-jam on this and make it a little bit easier to get into. But the sense of being loss, being impaired, added with the sense of urgency to get out... and I think radiation is a very good enemy, you can't hear it, you can't see it, you can't run it. These all add to atmosphere, I was holding my breath. But it's not easy to get into. Overall, very nice mood and atmosphere...
In the second round things went into a jumble and became unplayable.
I didn't rate it because it was multiplayer and I couldn't join any game or even create one. But the title screen looks nice.
Gravity phsycis were nice, some music could have made wonders on this :) And maybe a couple more levels with different gameplay elements? Like black holes, comets, nebulae :)
Nice hook mechanic. Jumping is a little bit funky, though. It took me couple tries to understand yellow things were spikes :D
Dat mother in law is a nightmare material! Very funny game, kyatric :)
It was nice, though controls didn't feel too much effective :) I was mostly on my friends' backs but they were awesome... Until I crashed :)
Very nice! I almost cried as I longed for my gameboy :( Nice delivery. Though in the dungeoun of trials enemy parties just popped out randomly, even in the places that we pass, which makes healing a must, which is not explained clearly. I several times healed my ooze enemies and killed my hero as I mistakenlu thought he was dark instead he only had dark magic but was light himself. (Or herself?) But a very nice game, really enjoyed it.
Judges are awesome. You should definately add a replay function to this and let people share their runs :) Awesome.
Definately want to see a post-compo version, a very nice innovative game :)
Needs some explanation on how to play, it's easy to loose interest even against the wonderful graphics. I also couldn't get the connection to the theme.
Very nice! But I last two zombies were showing outside the borders and couldn't kill them :(
Very nice game :) Reminds me of dos days. Great level designs. Couldn't get what the magnifying glass things were? Didn't play past level 6 though.
I had no problems playing. It was a run or die situation with the dragon, I really wanted to befriend it though :) Only problem is the small glitch with the jumping. And some gray areas I don't understand what they were. Maybe you will replace them with other graphics, like vines, water or sth?
Not a very original idea but I really liked the pixel art. Only the misile and it's trail doesn't fit the others, but nice little game :) Even comes with powerups! I scored around 2000 :)
Hello there! for some reason, the game doesn't start, just wanted to inform. Didn't rate. Regards.
