Good feedback for shooting, good feedback for shots there are fired at you, it feels nice, enemies are cute, your characters are cute, music feels perfect for the graphics, there's variety of characters so the gameplay keeps changing even if it's a little bit. Even the happy little clouds are charming. Awesome game!
This is a very cool interpretation of the theme! I gave it a few runs and also ran out of money, It's hard to keep track of it since it doesn't have a bar like the rest haha Good game!
So I understand the game, it requires a lot of looking into it to understand the mechanics, it really should come with a tutorial. Specially after the first checkpoint where there's a whole or something where you can fall and takes time to understand how to avoid that. The idea is good and interesting, but needs a tutorial to avoid the initial confusion.
I have the fastest ship in the navy, not only moves faster but it dies faster as well :D So I tried on a more of a defensive build and didn't really work... then I went balanced, and our ship "Raid Flyes and Mosquitoes" made it to the Danger Zone with overconfidence, that was our pride and our doom...
The game is cool, would totally work for a mobile/tablet game since doesn't require much attention and can be played just with happy little taping. Graphics were fun, I've seen the HELP signal while playing, as well as the flags, love little details like those!
The only thing I would suggest is to make it easier since doesn't absolutely depend on how well you are playing the battles. Also, it would be nice to repair the ship whit the money you've got, even if you can't afford all of it. Love it!
Oh my... why do I have to shoot all the energy refills? XD Good Game, I love the propulsion mechanic, it makes you move with care. Good job!
Oh my... why do I have to shoot all the energy refills? XD Good Game, I love the propulsion mechanic, it makes you move with care. Good job!
Very good game! Graphics were very good, and once madness is unleashed they become awesome, so many ships, everyone with their lasers/bullets at the same time. My computer started to suffer once I passed about 50% of the game since there was so many action going on. Always good to play a RTS, and as Linus here says, it's rare to find them at LD.
... For the swarm!
I don't think the controls are confusing at all, it plays just fine! The only thing, it took some time for me to understand that I didn't need to press anything to collect the water.
This game is hard to learn, but once you got it is a good base management game!
This game escalates quickly into madness, It's a pity that I die quickly and before even more frenzy. Graphics are good and gameplay is intuitive, as a suggestion I'd say It would be nice to fill energy from top or bottom.
Good game, I didn't manage to finish it though :( I like the mechanics it's a good implementation on the theme and makes you move everywhere to be able to complete the objective. I just wish there was a way to bait the robots out of the EMP
Cool mechanics not attacking but dodging felt a lot like Dark Souls 1 :) Also bosses had more than one attack!
It's a good mechanic that you can destroy your own energy cells, and the collection of them as well. As a suggestion it would be nice if the enemies would spawn out of the screen. :)
Really addicting mechanic. felt like playing super meat boy all over again, the art was neat and easy to understand, the light from the portals gave me a clue about the level difficulty and size. Level difficulty was just right, but about mechanics I feel like it's a bit punishing that when the character lets go of a wall It won't grab any other. Awesome entry!
Joseph is a good guy, and loves to keep his phone charged at all times :) Good game, took me 2 games to finish it properly, but really enjoyed the graphics, and the UI with the phone/battery, well designed!
Greg died a few times, he fell into the abyss... But he's got the batteries so that is cool :)
Hello! ich.io link is 404! check it out. I'll edit this comment in a bit :) //Edit: Nice, so once you know how to open gates you can keep moving, but sometimes when you don't get all the energy to open the next gate there's no restarting the checkpoint or a way to reach more energy :)
Played 3 games, one on which I didn't really know what was going on, the second on easy... just in case, and liked it. And then a 3th more challenging on Normal. I really enjoyed oversmarting them humans jeje. References are great, GlaDos and Smith are OP, great gameplay since you can literally adjust the difficulty to be as hard as you want. Go Bacon!
Great mechanic! It has what it needs, a god core mechanic, visual feedback on the powers (I love it that when you run faster the rest of the balls can't catch up). Difficulty is fair, not punishing since you can always use a power up to exit though situations. Very good!
Needless to say graphics are epic, the game runs perfect and I haven't encountered any bug/error, really really solid and simple, Love it!
Epic feedback for shooting and for dashing. Maybe it gets too hard after a few levels into the game, or it can be me not being good enough haha Loved the graphics, moving and shooting looks awesome. I'd suggest to put an indication on the edges of the level, with all the feedback and the confusion it's hard to recognise floor from wall.
Very solid game! Feels good to shoot and enemies are understandable and fair, it feels very very polished.
Music, animation and peace fits perfectly together!
Boss comments were fun... and realistic haha I love the illumination and the mood the most, really feels bad for the guy :(
Great job on the animation and design! The game feels solid once you understand what the 2 bars of the enemies are for, on a first look I didn't think that they also have a battery level... makes sense. Must be careful with the pulls I ended up pulling the whole map twice and it didn't end well ._. Great entry!
As a person who doesn't have strong feelings towards cats, I would happily kill these hungry little ones... oh wait, already did :D
They sure need attention, but maybe not enough, having some visual clue on when the cats have finished their food and water would be nice, but of course, LDjam is just 72h and specially with IRL stuff going on keeps it even harder. The assets are great, the model of the cats is neat and so are the food boxes, the trees outside... just needs a little more time :)
Tried it out again today, it did work just fine. Man this is ambitious specially for a LD, I understand it is a proof-of-concept, but even with that in mind, the controls work good and the movement feels like you are moving a massive ship. I tried out the creator but it's quite complex, I couldn't get the hang of it.
I understand that you have big game in mind and this is just the kickstart :) Keep it up man, good job!
Awesome game, great idea, cute graphics and as I said before: speedrunner candy! I'd like to see this idea implemented in a longer game for sure.
Ok so, to begin with, this game goes though some unspoken truth, ok? You should be careful with that or else you might find the FBI knocking at your door one of this days. Of course we are talking about the fact that the History Channel never lied to us, that bunnies are the only true hope for this planet, that clean energy is the only way we have of fighting back an alien invasion and of course, the fact that rabbits can't get busy with themselves. Apart from that, game is very enjoyable,I never pass a cool tower defence game. The spherical shape made it different to other tower defence games, the fact that rabbits are always following you too. I would definitely make it harder since you can become unkillable and very rich. Or maybe make it so that bunnies can't cross the seas (I'm not saying that real rabbits can't cross oceans, but we're talking about game mechanics here XD). Overall awesome, ended up playing for longer than expected! I attach a picture of Planet Not Earthâ„¢ overran by bunnies, the only true salvation.Capture.PNG
@nick-rafalski: Is it a bug or a feature?
@ionthas/@xarras: Yes :D
Good game mechanics, great music and nice neon graphics. Being able to change yourself the difficulty is great and fits the randomly generated map (Is it random?) since you can never feel safe enough. The bad thing that I've found is that sometimes I died and it wasn't clear enough how it happened. But apart from that, it's a great LD game, would replay!
[ spoiler ] Who knew that science could be so mathematically consistent? Quadrilateral equivalent of a middle finger. The creativity of the developer gods must be weaning.[ / spoiler ] I could go on like this forever! Great game, nice story, clever dialogue, very well made!!!
Impressive, it's perfect in every way, it feels very very solid and the graphics are simply amazing, the colours great, the gameplay addictive. It's a perfect entry
Very graphics, such chill, much music, WOW. I wanted to leave the comment here, but I must say other stuff, for example that the map is very well done, being able to move the boat right and left is a good way to improve the experience.
Holly molly, are we facing the new Sudoku? We might be. The game is slow and chilled, the music and the graphics make sure you take it calmly, which makes a lot of sense since it's a puzzle game. it's perfectly polished and super easy to understand (I'm not saying it's easy to win). Please make an app out of it, invest in marketing, make some moneyz and remember me when you have your own company lol.
Very good game! I found myself playing for longer I expected just because of how enjoyable it feels it's just right, I felt in control of the ball at all times, I decided how hard I wanted it to be and definitely died because I pushed myself too far in an overdose of confidence. The explosions, mechanic, the sound, the FX for when you are shooting, and of course the power ups. Great!
Just great! It's long, it's fun to play, mechanics are not complex but they get harder as time goes on. I ended up playing for longer than I expected. Really good entry :D
Ok, so when you start to get it, it gets very good! A tablet version is in order... and a full length tutorial too :D
YAMATE KUDASAI hahahahahaha Really great mechanic for the theme. Maybe a bit too punishing with the difficulty but fun, feels a little bit like The Binding of Isaac when there's so much moving around the screen. It's cool that the enemies can bounce back your balls with their own. I've found that sometimes sprites lose their 2D and decide to go pay a visit to the 3th dimension, apart from that corners are dangerous because you can end up killing yourself. Overall great job!
3480 my score when I panicked and couldn't cupcake no more. Great Graphics and music, so sweet, really fit the game. The game fits the theme perfectly and it all works as it should, so very solid. As a way to improve it I'd make it so that when you miss the number on complex cupcakes, they reset, that way you can avoid people banging the keyboard like I admit, I did haha :D Great Game!! :)
Fun game! It has a great sense of humour and keeps you engaged until the end. Graphics are very funny with those arms :D I'd suggest spawning less chicks since sometimes you end up graving more than one, and maybe increase them overtime.
Good job with the game! I must say this game must have been hard to do, very ambitious for a LD, so I appreciate your effort. The lightning is in the perfect spot and it does set up a great thrilling mood, even if the enemy can sometimes be more powerful than you expect it to be, in my opinion it doesn't break up the feel of the game (Let's be honest, the enemies in Outlast behave similar :D). Also, a checkpoint would have been great :)
Great theme interpretation, specially talking about cats! But cats are going to control the internet one day, so there's no point on trying to control them... :D
Good Game! So random that right when I appeared I pressed F and came back to the menu, silly me lol. It's simple and self explanatory like it should be :)
Good game, fits the theme and controls smoothly! Good Job!
This game is great! It's just like all AAA out there nowadays but it's made only by 2 people, still you get the spam and the ads, which are the reasons why we are all still gamers right? to get those sweet sweet ads? right? oh well...
That was Awesome, seriously, very cool! Feeling like a horse now lol
Great game! Excellent LD entry, simple, nice, with great graphics and really solid!
I used to play Big Mutha Truckers on PS2 and It felt a lot like the PoC on that game, so I liked it a lot and made me remember sweet times. Having the tank of gas limited ensures a max game time, and that makes it much more interesting than others would think, it makes it truly tactical. Great! Love it!
Awesome, everything fits together, except for the spikey stuff, but really enjoyed every level and specially the concept, so original!
@BoltKey It's supposed to stop you from going on, something was wrong here, it's fixed now :)
Great, something different feels so good, graphics are great, the concept is good, the music fits perfect. I feel like it could have so much more with little narrative effort while keeping it minimalist, of course. Awesome overall.
I'm surprised you could pull that off in just a weekend, that's awesome! the first time you try the mini-games they can be unexpected but once you replay them it's much easier, so I'd say it's balanced :)
Awesome compo, the controls are cool once you get the hang of them, apart from that there are cool little mechanics that make it engaging, like killing the squares with the shield or simply letting them hit one another. Once you realise that you can teleport from one side to the other of the screen but the squares can't it gets much easier :D
I feel totally unappreciated for my efforts, I give her my all and she just keeps asking for more. Now I'm even more depressed, but well relationship broke for the best...
Hey that was great! simple and solid, audio and graphics adding to atmosphere. Just as constructive feedback, I would make the croubling even more often, or less turns since the tile turns grey until it falls, that would allow you to keep track of every tile.
Great, this game is different, not just for the retro style but for being about managing a theater crowd in a fantasy world lol, also the bits of humour were a good extra :) the only thing I would improve that doesn't require more work is the line, and how fast it goes. But I guess it's part of the time mechanic...
btw everyone knows elves love romantic shows
I'd say it's a tactical stealth-like game, it's not easy, which makes the challenge more than welcomed :) At the beginning takes tome time to stablish your first settlements and get your mana going, but when you can start wrecking romans, it feels great :D You should develop it further
Top art! fun game mechanics, the fun music matches the art style and the fights are interesting. It's a great game! Only one note: you can actually beat every enemy just by casting everything that comes available with no particular order. Anyway, loved your game!
Very nice compo game! took me a few tries but I finally scored 65 points. It's fun to play and the graphics are pleasing :) Also thanks for the post you just made earlier!
As a zerg player I must say: FOR THE SWARM! The combat was pure mayhem I loved it, you try to make sense of who is winning and who is losing but there's so much going on that it takes some time. Also great detail having the queen on a throne XD Good job
At the beginning you can already feel sorry for every rocket you fire, very good job on that, also the music is awesome, reminds me of "Immortal" the Arthas theme, which makes it even more epic. The splash damage on the rockets and the chain reactions makes firing more of a decision than an aiming challenge. Congratulations!
Had a lot of fun playing it, it's good that there are so many characters to save since you can keep spamming spells and it makes it more addictive. Good game, played it for a long while :)
Veeeery nice cute graphics, came here from your post and was not disappointed. The mood is also great and attacking with the shovel is fast and rewarding. The thing I found was that to cover the rifts I needed lots of trial and error, although most of people is not having this issue so... good game! ^-^
Pity you can't progress with the "demon chain" as you pointed, would be cool to see a post-LD version! And hey... our game isn't winnable either so... we're cool :D
It's a good game for speedrunners! There are even a few "biomes", this game looks like a lot of work and it's actually very long. About things to improve, I'd improve controls, to glide it just seems more intuitive to keep pressing the space bar instead of having it's own button, same goes for attacking with ranged, it would be nice to keep only the ranged attack. GG! :)
Creo que todo lo que hay que decir sobre este juego ya esta dicho... Sois la repanocha, estáis en otra liga. Felicidades por el resultado que será bueno seguro :)
@hermeses Sois la la pera.PNG ^-^
Good game, it's true at the main menu controls take a while to start working, at least in small window mode, when I switched to full screen it worked fine. It was nice to see the different kind of attacks, and that every enemy had their own. as an improvement I'd like to see some effect, even if it's a blink that confirms that I'm hurting the enemy though, buuuut well time is short my friend :)
Good game, had fun for a while
My favourite game so far! Good grapgics cool gameplay, simple management. Maybe difficulty ramps up too quickly and you have to retry a few times at the beginning but that's alright :D very good game!
For the swarm! Good game, felt like a true zerg, but now I'm stuck in real life again... It works perfect, without any flaws. Making the fire position random each time is confusing though, even understanding that is an add-on to difficulty and that you can preview it from the circle on your troops. Anyway great fun!
I came for the management I stayed for the chill :D This game has a special appeal, the music is calm and invites you to keep playing. The game doesn't have any flaw, nor it bugs at any moment, it's easy and unstressful, great for spending some time. I'd only point out that stone was unnecessary, or at least I didn't find it any use :P Anyway, I starved some people to death but at least I had a good time :)
It's amazing that you did it in 5 hours, very funny sense of humour and cool voiceacting. Extra points for making a narrative game!
It's amazing that you did all this by yourself, I love TD games and now I'm inspired to so one in a LD :stuck_out_tongue: I would suggest an infinite level... there should always be an infinite level haha. Also I would go for a faster pace, since there are no upgrades only turrets, all that time is not needed and I want to see action! Good Job, very well done, Impressive that you did it all alone.
It's awesome that you could do all that in just a compo! I've been playing for a while, it's pretty hard, specially for the enemies zerging on me, maybe you could make them trigger once you get close enough. also, sometimes you are not hitting them just for a millimetre, you could try making the projectile as big as the character (just to make everything easier). Anyway, what you did in just 2 days is insane! GJ
Very nice cute characters and solid gameplay
Welcome man! glad to see it's your first jam game! Your game is good, simple and straight forward, as some here say it would be nice to see some variety in gameplay. It might not even need to be a different enemy, but it could be an event with loads of asteroids, or changing the bullets' hue to show that they deal more damage, little tricks like that. Good entry, keep it up! :)
It's amazing that you could come up with that idea and execute it with 5 hours. In the description you say that some things might not work but the way I see it everything is working fine! As a comment, when I saw your post all the balls were so close that it looked so satisfactory to just run around gathering balls and making it like a quick escalating Katamari, but with the time limit, it breaks it a little bit, just my opinion :) The idea is great and for doing it in 5 hours I salute you bro!
Fun and fast gameplay, I love how moving around is simple, direct, and your character moves a fast pace. Was great seeing different biomes. Incredible again to see what you've done with so little time :) And good to see you are still using js for LD
Just for the title that is a solid 5 for humour, but then the execution is awesome the graphics follow along and it keeps going, it's great, but better than that, it's hobo. Hobo parents would be proud
You'll definitely make it to top 10 in mood! Gj in all that comes from that, graphics, animation, music and general pace
Keeps getting better, bigger, faster, stronger, beyond anything I could have expected. This is a solid 10 and I won't say much else!
I couldn't get to nirvana but I've got the feeling I was pretty close both times, level 7 :) I'm condemned to think about money and sex for the rest of my life. Good game!
I knew from the start that those sheeps would mean trouble, I knew it before running the game, just for the picture. So I started punching them as soon as I saw them. Good graphics! solid game, clear objective, yellow bananas, good ambientation and nice final touch with the unity logo XD
One of those games which you can play simply relaxing, no pressure, just placement and a simple mecanic that can or cannot get complex, those are the games that eat away your afternoon haha Enjoyed everything, really, I can't say much that is constructive, graphics are great, music enhances the feeling of chill, bugless, polished... Just keep going
Pa-paaaaaaa-papa-pa-pararara Katamary Damacyyyyyyyyyyyy! I love Katamary and thus, your game, it's fast, easy to understand, only one button needed, good ans simple. Would have made it so that you can ear the trees once you grow large enough, but well, it was a good experience :)
Very well executed, polished and visually pleasing. The puzzles are easy to understand but get challenging :D Good job!!
NOOOOOOoooooooooooo I wanted to know more. Just when I was engaged! Don't you want to make a post-LD with the rest? You should! My hype counts as a review right?
Right the small text at the choices was something to improve, good to see you'll keep it going :)
I appreciate the graphics specially when it comes to everything getting built as you progress, also the ending is just beautiful. Also, nice music, goes along with the feel of the game. Everything is polished and works perfectly :)
Great! innovative, with simple mechanics with easy to understand platforms. Love it, it reminds me of an app called "Duo" I normally hate phone games, but that was amazing. Hope you are planning on a post-LD version :)
Great mechanic, turn based with a twist for tactics. Animations are lovely, they look line an old final fantasy with all that movement, as if characters were expecting the action, the fight. This game only needs one thing that could be a good thingy for a post-LD final touch: a huge final boss!
