LD28 — You Only Get One

The Visitor by Jezzamon 2013-12-21T02:34:00

This game is so charming!
the color changing effect adds the last perfect touch to it's already awesome mood.
Good work!

Shine by AdventureIslands 2013-12-16T07:19:00

I'm in love with the mechanics of this game.
Amazing!

SUPERBLADE by folmerkelly 2013-12-16T14:42:00

This is wonderful.
The animation for when the level generates can get a little annoying after a while, would love to be able to skip it.
Other than that, AMAZING work!

Just One More Turn (Please!) by Ithildin 2013-12-16T13:47:00

The texts at the beginning go a bit too fast for my tired brain, but other than that it's great. Quite addicting!

One Heart by WiseGAMER 2013-12-17T15:53:00

You really nailed the mood and that music is so good!
great work!

Doubt by rxi 2013-12-18T00:51:00

The visuals and music are fantastic. A wonderful mood!
Too bad there's little gameplay and, as many others, I got stuck at the deja vu part.
Wish I could see the ending!

Smashy Smashy by ossah 2013-12-16T13:55:00

Angry cannons? what else could I ask for!
I really dig the mood. And the gameplay is pretty addicting, too.

YOGO RocketFist by _Rilem 2013-12-18T03:09:00

Amazing! Really nice visuals and music and the concept is pretty neat. The controls for the rocketfist are a bit wonky, for me at least.

Flight of the Stars by DangerPenguin 2014-01-07T00:48:00

I really dig the idea, If only it went a little bit faster it'd be amazing! currently it's a bit tedious having to wait for ten seconds each time, though I get to dodge stuff in the meantime. Overall pretty good!

Underbyte by unusualcadence 2013-12-17T23:48:00

Amazing!
this game feels really good to play! the music is great too!

Eldritch Racing by ian_snyder 2013-12-17T02:38:00

Hi! I'm on Linux and there's no Unity webplugin available for it yet, so if you could provide a downloadable build, more people would be able to play it then. Thanks!

Eldritch Racing by ian_snyder 2013-12-17T14:20:00

Awesome, thanks!
I think you might have forgotten to add the custom resolution the game is supposed to be played in to the list of res options to the game Loader for that build. Right now, all of the options crop it on the sides.

I really like the idea of the game, haven't really seen anything like it before myself.
The mood is great! I think you really nailed that with the sound and graphics.
The controls are a bit too sensitive for my liking, though.
Nice work overall!

0RBITALIS by AlanZucconi 2013-12-16T07:06:00

This is pretty neat! It took me awhile to understand it at first, but that's probably due to my lack of sleep. A very relaxing game nonetheless.

No Mistakes. by meek 2013-12-18T00:53:00

This is pretty cool. I really dig the unsettling mood.
Great work!

Jameson The Pilot by rezoner 2013-12-16T07:15:00

This is awesome!
I wish I wasn't this sleep deprived so I could appreciate it more, though.

Seed by deadlypear 2013-12-16T23:57:00

I like the concept!
I'd suggest more player feedback. Can't really weigh my choices at the moment.

Lost Gems by d__adee 2013-12-16T14:25:00

This is really good and really, really hard.
Can you even kill the enemies with the sword?
Very addicting though!

YOGOB (You only got one Button) by nyrrrr 2013-12-16T14:35:00

The soundtrack is great and the game is quite simple but managed to keep me trying for far more time than what I'm willing to admit.
Hoping to see you polish this one up in the upcoming weeks!

Miss Red by Daniel Debert 2013-12-16T13:25:00

The lighting looks gorgeous!

Fever Blue by Raiyumi 2013-12-17T03:51:00

This is pretty cool! I love the aesthetics!

One Touch Of Music by KumoKairo 2013-12-18T00:09:00

This is so amazing! it feels really good figuring out the notes, and the overall presentation is pretty neat.
Great work!

Crew: A Futuristic Detective Game by metkis 2013-12-18T00:30:00

A nice little twist to an old concept.
also the mood of this game is so relaxing!

Gravidude by gnerkus 2013-12-17T13:33:00

Fun and interesting idea!
the only problem I had was that the timer doesnt seem to stop when you choose and rather it stops once you leave the room, so you kinda have less than one second to choose.
Other than that, it was a pretty fun experience, good job!

Torch Quest by qbicfeet 2013-12-16T14:14:00

This is awesome!
The only problem I've had with it is how the character stops when firing. Other than that, it's great!
Hoping to see you develop this further.

Save Zoe by Lorenzo Maierú 2013-12-16T14:00:00

Thanks!
And yeah, I went a bit off rails with the theme, haha.

Save Zoe by Lorenzo Maierú 2013-12-16T15:40:00

@felzenbara: Yes, the general balance of the game was something that got really overlooked with so little time to develop it, and giving that while I developed it I got progressively better at it, it got really hard to be able to tell what was easy and what was not. That said, I plan to polish this up in the next couple of weeks and release a better version in the future.

@nicso: haha yes, I got used to them that I forgot how bad they are! That's something I should polish up too.

@Doubstract: Thank you!

@Ian_snyder: Thanks! the musician is a goddamn genius, I was so lucky to be able to work with him for this!
The level works like this: There's only one level and it's randomly generated every time the level resets. If you don't reach the end of the level (the bear dies or you fall to the water), it resets (the layout changes). "You only get one chance to make it through this version of the level."

I do plan to polish it in the following weeks!

----

Thank you all for your comments, it means a lot to me!

Save Zoe by Lorenzo Maierú 2013-12-16T16:39:00

@Tsumel:
You won't believe how happy your comment made me.
I have a big silly smile all across my face right now, haha!

I will see what I can do with the volume for the polished version!

Save Zoe by Lorenzo Maierú 2013-12-17T15:03:00

@ossah: Thank you!

@Hyoga-3D: I'm happy people are able to find their own meanings to what I made. That's awesome!

@WiseGAMER: Thanks! Well, get to the ending to find out! remember there are two possible endings! :D

Save Zoe by Lorenzo Maierú 2013-12-18T04:21:00

@yapshuter63: Haha, my sister's name is Zoe too!

@zkenshin: Thank you!

@CNIAngel: Thanks, was fun seeing you play it on stream! I learn so much about design just by watching how people play it.

@nyrrrr: I should probably put that it has 2 endings on bold letters or something, many people keep missing it, haha. Thanks!

@aneeslol: It will be extended! keep tuned for updates!

@d__adee: Haha, It's kinda hard, isn't it? Yes the platforms are randomized everytime you respawn. However! They're not entirely random, it's done in such a way as to ensure you're always able to reach em. They might be hard to reach but totally possible if you time your second jump properly!
Thanks!

@Radnen: Thank you! Yes, the musician is a genius!

Save Zoe by Lorenzo Maierú 2013-12-18T14:02:00

Thank you guys!

Being acknowledged for a couple of day's hard work in this fashion really makes me feel accomplished.

I'm writing a post-mortem blog right now, so if you're interested, keep an eye out for it!

Save Zoe by Lorenzo Maierú 2013-12-18T22:54:00

@drludos: And thank you for your comment! Knowing that what did can have such an effect on people really blows my mind and makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

Save Zoe by Lorenzo Maierú 2013-12-19T14:14:00

@netguy204: Thank you! Yes, I agree the level generation was not good enough, it's probably the thing I want to polish the most for the next release.

@Hypermagical: Thanks! Difficulty is one of the things I want to fine tune a lot more, so people across all skill levels can enjoy it.

@MrTedders: Thank you!

@sclark39: Yes, I believe the mechanics of the girl weren't good enough, they were supposed to be the main focus of the game and didn't end up that way. The point of allowing the game to continue? Well, I talk in-dept about that in the post-mortem. There was a reason and an idea behind it. That doesn't mean it accomplishes its purpose, though! Will try to work more on those things for the polished version. Thanks!

@the: this comment is good.

Save Zoe by Lorenzo Maierú 2013-12-21T01:49:00

@harsanalif: Thank you!

@evilseanbot: It makes me happy that my game was able to do such a thing, thank you!

Save Zoe by Lorenzo Maierú 2013-12-27T04:09:00

Thank you guys!
The difficulty is the result of me getting better and better at it while I was making it and balancing around that (which is a bad thing to do!). Putting a neat difficulty curve in is one of my priorities for the polished version I'm working on right now.

Save Zoe by Lorenzo Maierú 2014-01-07T00:42:00

@van noctar: Thank you!

@DangerPenguin: Thanks! I made it and I have no idea what it is, but a friend of mine said it was Kool-Aid. So I guess it's Kool-Aid!

Finding Serenity by BraindeadGeo 2013-12-17T02:27:00

This is hilarious! haha, well done!

CROSSBORE by (Not) Ivano 2013-12-17T02:37:00

This is pretty cool!
wish I had more control over how and when I shoot the arrow, though.

Who's the Worst Person in the World? by whiteknife 2013-12-17T14:58:00

Amazing! Can't wait for the sequel :b

The Day the Laughter Stopped by Crabman 2013-12-21T03:18:00

Whoa. This was such a powerful experience.

Papaya by Tsumei 2013-12-16T13:34:00

Pretty nice!

One Arrow by 7elephants 2013-12-18T00:29:00

Looks gorgeous!
I found a bug, though: if you're try to aim while falling (falling of a platform. Not jumping off) you can just stand in the air for a while.

DISTANT WORLD FOR THE BOTH OF US by Cell 2013-12-16T14:50:00

The level of polish in this is astonishing.
Awesome work!

One Memory by CNIAngel 2013-12-18T04:48:00

I wish you'd finish this one, I really like the concept!

One More Bullet by ziomorti 2013-12-17T02:31:00

Hi! I'm on linux an there's no Unity webplugin available yet, so if you could provide a downloadable build so more people can try the game, that'd be great!

TITAN SOULS by Claw 2013-12-17T23:33:00

I love it so much but it doesn't want me loving it.

TITAN SOULS by Claw 2013-12-18T04:39:00

YES, I finally won it!
What an amazing ending, you guys! this is awesome!
