That was a lot of fun! Definitely one of the most fun I've played yet, to the point I actually played it a few more times after the first time I died. I haven't seen too many Godot made games since I started devving, either, so I think that is really cool. Great job guys!! :)
That's was pretty intense! Very innovative! Actually reminded me of the frustration of when I use to repair computers for people regularly sometimes, how much adware would be taking over their machines!! Great job!!
Very interesting take on the theme. I really enjoyed the story aspect, visuals were very nice. The exaggerated stride in the walk cycle kind of threw me off at first, but as I got to playing, I began to see it as pretty fitting to the "excited kid on his way fishing". I grew up in the country(still live in the country too), and went fishing a lot as a kid, so it hits pretty close to home. Great job!! :)
That was just downright epic! Really cool to see that you made this using Phaser as well, wow :)
Very polished, innovative, nails the theme, good audio and just downright hilarious. It took me a second to realize what was going on though with the penguins thrashing at the ice, lol.
About the only thing I would have done different would have been, allow the guy to take damage from the freezing water perhaps, or even have that as an option for a higher difficulty. I'm really impressed though, and I"m glad out of the thousands of games submitted, I got had the pleasure of playing this gem! Great job!!
This was really good! I'm not sure what else to say about it, but it felt very nice and was quite challenging. Very innovative as well! I just read a couple comments above two that you were continuing work on the game post-jam as well, glad to hear that!! Great job!!
Graphics, theme and controls are all on point. Pretty challenging too. Lack of audio really hurt it though in my opinion. Like some slow, dark, ambient music droning in the back ground, echoey footsteps and the nerve-wracking sound of the ground falling breaking away.
Atmosphere was well done though, it kinds of reminds me of a bad dream where the ground is falling out from underneath you! Well done!
This was really well done! I would say so far this is one of my favorites! Managed to beat all 11 levels, took me a few tries on the last level though. Great job guys!!
That was pretty impressive! Good way to think outside of the "box", lol, terrible pun. I think this would kill it as a mobile game with use of the accelerometer to control the box. Very well done, it's one of those "Why couldn't I think of something like that!?" moments, for me. I was able to make it to like level 7 with a score of 34 or something like that. My XBOX 360 controller worked very well. :) Great job!
So frustratingly fun! You really put a lot of work into this over the weekend, and after playing a couple test builds over the weekend, then playing the jam version, I am very impressed and proud of you. You made a game that actually caused me to rage quit(do to my own lack of skills at it). I'm determined to pick it up and get better at it today, but right now all I have to say is.. Congratulations!! I really don't have much to criticize about it honestly. If something comes to mind on my second go of it today, I will let you know :)
It was definitely a pleasure to get to test this game out during the weekend in it's various stages during breaks from my own game. With the mouse and keyboard controls, I felt nearly untouchable. Gamepad, I'm not even sure I want to try that, I'm no good at 3d games with the gamepad to be honest. Crosshairs made a big difference for me, as I had played this without them, so I felt like it helped my aim immensely.
I finished, but I did die a couple times. Definitely could have used sound, but even without sound I had fun playing it and it really made me tense up on a couple close calls. Impressive that you used Java as opposed to an engine, so I have nothing but the utmost respect for you in that aspect. I've made games both with and without engines, but I couldn't imagine doing a game using just Java, even with libraries, in one weekend for a jam. Maybe eventually as I am about to do a Java course for college, but at this moment, I'm still using engines for jams. Great job!!
I really enjoyed this game!! At first I was kind of bummed about not being able to shoot, but honestly, that is what made it fun! Just being pure evasive action, and getting the various powerups! The music was very nice and the sound effects were really nice! Controls were really well done too! I'm really looking forward to playing this through my older IBM CRT monitor once I get a VGA switching box! Great job!!
Very solid! Pretty difficult though, I think the highest score I got was 90, but your story behind it, the graphic style, the sound effects Johnny makes, it just ties it in together so well!! I have no complaints except for the fact that I didn't think of it myself!! Great job!! Also, nice profile picture! Love King Crimson, in fact, I saw you commenting on someone else's came and the King Crimson profile picture was what landed me here!! :)
Very nice! The controls were amazing, felt very smooth! Love the graphics too! My biggest criticism personally, is the sound effect for the air thrusters, they were ear piercing for me(maybe I'm just getting old), lol. Great job!! :D
Very difficult, kind of awkward control scheme too, but I managed to get the hang of it a little. Once I discovered and exploited the wall jumping glitch so to speak, I couldn't resist using it. Lack of music was a downfall for me personally, but having the inventory and having to quickly switch through items to get the one you wanted with that fear of the lava coming up, makes it interesting. Is this your first Ludum Dare?
This was a lot of fun! Get's kind of frustrating though quick at about round 4, but I overall enjoy it. Really nice on animating the cat's movement too, I actually worked on a similar animation for a game awhile back, especially the jump animation. This kind of reminds me of like a 2d version of "Catlateral Damage" :) Great job!
I really enjoyed it, even for the simplicity of it all, the story was rich, it had a lot of depth. The feel was really good, you guys did a really good job of that. Graphics and sound were awesome, and the dialog was very entertaining. I'm glad I decided to try to go play a few games and rate them during the last few hours, or I may have never found this gem!!
That was really cool, it took me a minute to understand the whole "first person view" mixed with "third person action", but it blew my mind once I got it. I have a friend who makes slasher films, he is going to love this game!! You did amazing, seriously, great job!! Definitely one of the top 10 I've played as of yet!!
Not too bad at all, I made it to the 4th wave! Love the concept, the sound was very Atari, especially with not having music. If the color palette would have been a bit lower, I would have thought I was playing an actual Atari 2600 game. :)
That was fun by myself let alone if I could play this with controllers, the ending was completely unexpected! Great job guys!! Took me awhile to get the hang of the double jump, but once I did, it made things a lot easier!
Really smooth playing 3d, and not matter what, dinosaurs always make things better. Sucked I couldn't find any players online though. I still have to give you props for the smooth 3d and for being ambitious enough to make a multiplayer game on your first jam. I would like to try it again later if I can get a friend to network with me.
You did a pretty good job on the 3d graphics, most 3d games in jams don't do well on my PC(because my PC is old), so I commend you highly for that. Was hoping for more to do after opening the door though, but I understand how time constraints during jams can be. I probably should have played Gone Home before this, then I would have maybe got it more.
That was awesome!! This game was really playable as is, but you could totally build on it if you wanted! Great job!!
Graphics, sound and general atmosphere were great. Love the concept of mixing rhythm and horror. Lack of feedback hurt it though, but I really hope to see you expand on this game!
Good times, couldn't figure out how to win, but felt like I was winning any way for some reason. The glitchiness of it kind of reminds me of the goat simulator, the wackiness of it too. At this stage, this is the kind of game I can fire up knowing no matter what I do, the plane is still going to crash, but I'm just going to beat the shit out of some passengers in the mean time so I can blow off some steam kind of game. Thanks!
Really cool, very original! This is the first 3d game I've seen in a jam that used sprites too, made me feel kind of nostalgic! Good job man!
That was pretty out there and strange, but I still couldn't stop playing it until I won, which was irrelevant. This was what I call an "anti-game", which are more engaging than fun, outside of the box for sure. Good job!
Amazing idea and pretty well made too, congratulations on making a great game that fit the theme very well! My only complaint was there weren't more mini-games, but that is understandable considering the time restraints!
Lack of sound really hurt it for me personally, but the graphics were great, gameplay was pretty smooth too. I would love to play a post-Jam version of this with sound and maybe even some screen shake/feedback added on kills or whatnot, but that's just my two cents. Great concept too!!
That was pretty cool, a little short though, but it's understandable with time constraints. I think you have the foundation for what could be expanded into a full game honestly, you did a good job of respecting the theme :)
That was amazing, 4.5/5(always room for improvement), I've played at least 20 LD41 games so far I think, and this has taken #1 spot for me. You actually took a genre(space shooters) that I've become burnt out on, and was able to add that one simple element of rhythm to and and make it exciting again!
Not having sound definitely hurt it quite a bit for me personally, but aside from that, very original, nailed the theme right on the head(which is something I couldn't do).
Loved it over all! My only issue was it seemed like in the 2d view not only could you not walk left, but it seemed like the view was kind of obscured, also some coins couldn't be picked up in 2d view, not sure if you meant for that or just a bug. Very original though, not only the plot of it, but mixing 2d and FPS was really cool, and the transition between the two was quite smooth, even though the 3d kind of turned into a bad acid trip!! Excellent game!!
Love this game, and would really enjoy seeing it expanded with more weapons, bugs, etc!! You nailed the theme right on the head, game-play was smooth, graphics and sound were good, excellent job!!
Had some bugs(basically all were mention so I know you are well aware), but I don't think there are many if any of us jammers who's games didn't. Very original though, you basically mixed the genre of cards with, I would guess kind of game showish, I remember playing game show games on NES as a kid, and this kind of reminds me of how that goes. But mixing a medieval setting with def comedy jam was definitely a brilliant move, I think you did well on the theme. I'm a fan of pixel art graphics, so that was definitely nice to see. Good job man!
That was very fun, tedious with typing though and some times my J key doesn't register right with it at first so I was retyping a lot, I type very fast. Them sloths were definitely great! Your first game too? Really!!? That's amazing!!
Very well done! I almost gave up until I figured out how to escape that first room, probably wouldn't be a bad idea to make it a little more obvious how to get out, but once I did, I love it! This game is very challenging, but not over difficult to the point of unplayable-ness(is that word), great job man! I know some people that love the game tetris that would enjoy this!
Love the concept and had fun racing the other guys, but eating didn't seem to help, in fact it slowed me down, plus I couldn't get the building to work. Aside from that, great job! I haven't seen too many Godot made entries yet either, this is one of the few. Congratulations on your first Ludum Dare, especially made in less than 24 hours!! :)
I love everything about this game except how insane the camera is when your trying to move around and attack. I tried adjusting camera sensitivity too, but that didn't help. Super original, amazing 3d graphics, good sound too.
That was metal as f*ck!! Great job!!
This game is amazing, I saw it many days ago on a live stream on Twitch, and I just got around to playing it myself, this has to be the best I've played out of all Ludum Dare 41 games so far, you nailed the theme on the head, very well polished, super innovative. Great job!!
That was a lot of fun! I think it would be really cool with more levels, maybe even power-ups as well, but still, I really enjoyed it. Good job!
I use to car surf, but never anything cool like this, plus I don't look good in a dress. This game is great, just everything about it, very fun, very challenging, it took me some time to get even a little hang of the mechanics, but I couldn't stop, I definitely want to play this game some more after this weekend(I'm in another jam now).
That was terrific Shaun!! I would love to see it expanded though for sure, I grew up playing games like Warcraft, Starcraft, Age of Empires, etc.., this kind of reminds me of them a little, but having that "deck of cards" as a really nice twist. Has a pretty good pace to it as well. Great job man!!
That was absolutely amazing, not only did I have a blast playing your game, but I also played it during my first Youtube test stream ever!! I remembered you talking about it at the beginning of the jam, and I was definitely anxious to play it once I had the chance. Amazing job dude!! :)
Really, really great job TimJim!! I only got to see bits and pieces of your live stream during the making of it as I was busy on my game, I was expecting it to be good, but not this good. It's games like this that inspire me to keep making games!!
FPS Farming Simulator, that's definitely two genres I've never even remotely heard of mixing. After playing your last game "Laser Ball Arena", I'm not too shocked on how well you did this time, but even then you got a really solid game right here. Excellent job! I really like the Nintendo 64 style 3d graphics too, that was the first console I played with 3d as a kid, so it's got a nostalgic feel to it that still stands the test of time, very cartoony.
You did a really great job dude, challenging and also fit the theme spot on, that theme was pretty tricky too. It looks like you've improved your game-making skills since JimJam dude, which was only a couple weeks ago, so great job dude!!

Gnome Man's Sky by Tim Ruswick 2018-12-31T19:33:05Z ♥ 0
I just lucked out and managed to play it a bit yesterday, but I didn't get around to rating it. I enjoyed it overall, but I had a lot of trouble keeping the Gnomes from starving and it wouldn't allow me to create more gardens. Throwing the gnomes into the volcano was definitely fun as hell though!! Great job Tim!!

This was great! My poor memory couldn't handle it, I think I made it to like 4000ish points!!
The Gifts of Gaios by Kaleido 2018-12-05T18:14:45Z ♥ 1
Loved having all the powers! Some sound and music would have really helped, also on the jump mechanic, I would look into some improvements for jump mechanics in general. Like, you should be able to still jump even if you are at the very edge of a platform, I'm not sure how to explain it. Greta respect to the theme!!

I need a cigarette after this game, chilling!!
I played your game and put a marker on it after I played it, should be Part 2 of my Ludum Dare streams..

Could have really used some sound and music, but you did a good job on the theme. Some feedback when getting hit would be really effective(a little camerashake, hitflash, sound, etc..). I like the wander AI for the enemies, except there are two many of them.

Good times!! Should make a sequel and call it "Mobile Home Mayhem!!" lol Love it!!

My favorite out of all I've played so far, I didn't get a single bug personally and had an amazing time playing this game!! Very well done!!

I had a really good time with this, it was so nice I played it twice!! Great job for your first game and your age, keep at it!! Bring back awesome adventure games!!
Revelation by Robber 2018-12-05T01:09:43Z ♥ 2
Awesome! Very difficult, but I think has good post jam potential to become an awesome game!! Great job! Love the music, the graphics, the kinda top down Diablo-esque feel!! <3

Excellent work!! Thanks for submitting your game to be played on my stream, I really enjoyed it!!
Pick Your Poison by Vimlark 2018-12-04T23:39:22Z ♥ 1
Very cool, but man I wish I had at least a continue or two to fight the boss! Old school hard to go with the pixel art and music!!
One for Another - A tactical combat game by muffty 2018-12-04T23:21:01Z ♥ 1
You sparked my interest to make an RPG of some type soon, turn based, I've been strictly action style games so far. This was really fun, thank you!! Even though I sucked at it!
Serial Dater by ColeSlaughter 2018-12-04T22:38:34Z ♥ 1
Very great job! Love the artwork, the game play was pretty fun once I got the hang of it, I'm typically more of an action/movement game kind of guy too, but it's nice to relax to more casual games as well! Graphics kind of remind me of Lucasarts adventure games for some reason, just higher res!

Looks like a lot of people got you covered on good feedback!! Thanks for a more relaxing game after I had a super difficult one before!! Great job for 48 hours!! :D

Great job!! I had a blast with this one, for 48 hours man! I think you have me sold on at least trying the Godot engine now too!!

Great job! I see a lot of potential in this game despite the bugs, I had fun!! Keep at it!
somewhere in the woods by EmCannon 2018-12-04T19:22:20Z ♥ 1
Gameplay was definitely interesting, frustrated the piss out of me though with the mouse, but I think it was due to me having three monitor setup and I would go out of range too easily. Great job getting me to gave a mental breakdown on live stream!! <3 Beginning menu was a problem though, that delay on being able to click was a bit annoying.
Samurai's Legacy by Simone 2018-12-04T19:05:34Z ♥ 1
Great job!! Would have been fun to fight some enemies, but having to kill myself to get through the game was very enjoyable and more like a puzzle at times!! Music was very pleasant too, low poly graphics are fine because it did run smooth on my computer, controlled smoothly and that is all that matters!!
The Grassland Kings by Mathstr0fficial 2018-12-04T18:36:53Z ♥ 0
Good job man, very frustrating though, I don't think I can beat it!! Definitely needs some UI and more feedback when getting hit and hitting. Keep at it though, you really did a good job on the lighting and respect to the theme(sacrificing light for attack), that was very creative!! Again, great job!! :D
