Cool story (bro?), too bad it had no gameplay :(
Had a good mood to it, but the second door doesn't do anything for me? :(
How did you port your XNA game to web? Did you somehow port the code? Or is it easier than I think?
Btw I enjoyed the game thoroughly, would love to see more content!
I had a lot of fun in the stage where the ship looked like 8====D. That's right, a smiley.
Had fun playing your game :)
I died a couple of times on purpose just to hear the death sound :') Good stuff
VERRY FUN GAME I LIEK HUMOR VERY MUCH
GOOD JOKES
F you for making http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/wp-content/compo2/87574/3946-shot3.png
Seriously :(
Lolol the ending! Loved the puzzles btw.
BRO you forgot your images folder!! :(
Guys he forgot to include some content files like his images, and possibly more (audio?).
I enjoyed playing it, it had the right length and funny puzzles.
Fun game to play, loved the little puzzles :)
Lol I ran into somebody that had a heart :')
Not a smart thing to do lolo.
Nice game, the jumping and walking feels really good.
If would love to see more content with this playstyle.
Fun game, it has a good feeling to it. But I couldn't find out how to use the letters against the enemies. I tried jumping on them or pressing space when nearby, but nothing seemed to work :(
I got a headache from the sound when I opened the right door :')
Fun game, I liked that it had a boss fight :)
Loved your game :) I finished it enjoyed every second!
Funky game, that's for sure
Lol shared 11th spot on the first try :D Cool game
Fun game, the sounds were a bit annoying though
Lol most fun game I've played so far, good gameplay and fun story. So short and so good I love it.
Loved the ending in which.. Well you know lolol >:)
It was cool and hurt my head at the same time :')
@df458 lol who would want to sleep in other houses?
& link had no problem with looting other buildings either so np.
I kinda loved the idea, but I got tired of walking through areas of brown. This could be really fun if you added a bit more story, content and an ending! Has a lot of potential imo. Also liked the graphics!
Fun puzzle game :) I enjoyed playing it
Lol funny story and fun to play :)
Lol kinda weird but funny.
I wanted to listen to the music but I had to mute my sound because the extremely annoying death sound :(
Fun concept and story but I didn't like the gameplay :(
Someone expected another theme :')
I couldn't figure out how to navigate through your game, or even how to play some minigames I randomly found.
I did enjoy throwing the balls at the platforms though, for a couple o seconds :)
Fun game! Would be way more playable with hotkeys though.
LOL the end
That's some spacy shit right there.
Very interesting indeed, I'll have to give 1 star for the audio though :')
Fun game, only so short :( I'd easily played more of this :)
I liked the atmosphere of the game particularly, that music is great.
Cool that you described a lot of steps in your journal! I also enjoyed playing your game :)
It's too luck based, but a fun idea though
I get a white/grey screen when trying to play your game :(
Lol weird shit but fun to play
It might be just me but I can't start playing by pressing space :( I can exit the game with escape though :)
I hope it's just me, but yeah.
Lol crashing was so hilarious
Fun to play, only gets a bit repetitive
Cool game :) Enjoyed solving the puzzles
I had to open the game 5 times after I kept dying at the beginning :')
But is there anything I can do to get to a next level? I want to play moar, I like the gameplay. I do see these little things but I don't know if I can do anything with them :(
Fun game, but I could exploit the blocks to float anywhere
That sound was like smooth butter to my ears
Can't rate it either because I also do not have access to a Mac. Making a video so I can still rate it seems like a good idea? :)
Pretty fun, loved the ending lolo :)
Beat it in 5:25:64 first try! Good level design kept me engaged, first it seemed like a platformer but it was more like a puzzle game and planning your moves ahead of time after picking up the trident. Great concept and good execution.
Always love a puzzle game. The first thing that I would add is adding logic to make sure you always had a chance at winning. I read your comment about always having a truck arrive of a box color you have after I played the game so that might've helped me out a bit! Other than that good clean fun game to play which tied in with the theme nicely.
Edit: tried again and ended with 164!
Everything looked great, music was good, sound effects were good and it played really well. Two things I noticed: I cleared the first level but I didn't do anything because I couldn't figure out what the battle zone was where I was supposed to deliver and I respawned at west when I flipped my car at east. Very nice game!
Also I would've liked another jump or something risky to get to a battle zone faster if you pulled it off!
Laughed out loud a couple of times, loved the window in the back. Unique take on the theme also. That last message took me longer that I'd like to admit :blush:
@alexander-tan Thanks! The puzzle part might scare some people off, but not me.
Was a good base for expanding on, could use some soundeffects/subtle music and at first it wasn't clear I could walk through trees.
Really relaxing game, loved the music! The sound effect for the hovercraftspaceship ( ? :) ) could've been a bit more subtle, about halfway it distracted me from the relaxation. Loved the atmosphere of the game.
Also I was focussing on steering while the text was appearing at the sphere. Might want to show that text on a straight part or maybe use voice so I can steer and listen?
I'm a sucker for platformers that feel good to control so you got me there! Fun upgrades and I felt the difficulty was good. There was some artificial/not fun difficulty created by looking at the map and running from the spooky boy at the same time. I feel like there is something to gain in that area.
Also would've been fun to have new areas unlock by using your abilities (gaps to jump over etc). Overall good game, I love how it plays!
Short but high quality! Don't wanna spoil for others but a good way to combine horror and delivery. I was a bit confused at the start with the long black screen. Great sound effects, best one was turning on the phone :)
The sound effect of throwing the box in there is satisfying. Probably the most simple game I've played yet that fits the theme really well! Got a score of about 130, is that good or bad? :)
Got the package stuck a few times too, it also despawned one time when I threw it over a door and ran around. Difficulty is a bit high in later levels but I reckon that was the intention. I didn't finish it because it would've taken too much time and I want to try other games. Other than that really polished enjoyable game! Loved the reviews the skeleton lord left me after I died :smile:
You can see good effort went into the graphics and the camera angles! Found it tedious to keep walking back to the tables for the inventory swaps though. Smart to give some walls different colors so you have more reference points of where you are walking.
I cracked up when I first arrived at the hospital! The unique art style was refreshing and the game was executed well. There's some improvement points you would've probably done with time (animation of the turtle swimming, sounds effects when enemies arrive, indicators that they are enemies, ocean music). Was a fun game to play and I actually wanted to complete it.
Best puzzle game I played so far. I read your piece about creating a catch and after you said that I realized that is what made the puzzles so good. Caught me off guard on level 4 but after that I caught on that I had to find new mechanics. It was introduced so good that it felt natural to the game.
Grappling hook was really fun when I got the hang of it, could use some invisible walls around the map!
Audio was LOUD/SHARP
Had to figure out that I had to walk to the rocket first too because I don't read comments before playing the game. Also found out the hard way that you can only carry one item at a time :smile: Other than that really lovely game, great atmosphere/mood.
Music and art style was great (good details and everything looked great) and the game really fits the theme. I played through it twice and ended with a score of 9450. I stopped playing because there was no **ramp up** :smirk: in difficulty even though it **picked up steam** :smirk: throughout the level.
Yeah just saying what is already said: the camera controls are a bit wonky. Good base for a game if you had more time I think you could've done some fun things with it!
