GMTK Game Jam 2019

Really cool game! Played all the way through it and its a really cool concept!

Our game is Einnsámr: The Lone Warrior, a game about preserving your soul in a hostile world. We'd love it if you tried the game out :) https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/463168?after=20#post-871093

If you do, leave a comment with a link to your game, and I'll be sure to play it!

Hey, just played and commented on your game.

I said it there as well but man, such an impressive level of polish for a game jam game. I'd definitely love to see more, but I'm torn between seeing your core mechanic in a puzzle game or some kind of cute tactics RPG.

As requested, here's a link to our game https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/463168?before=32#post-871617

It's Negative Nancy, a conversation game where you only have one dialogue option; no! You have to choose when to say (and when not to say it) to achieve your humble goal of having the perfect day!

Thanks again! Omg I have to try this game it sounds glorious

Oh, you accidentally dropped the link to our game haha XD Send me the link to Negative Nancy!

Oh, sorry Neil! That's what I get for allowing my browser to become so tab-choked that it looks like a barcode.

Hera ya go: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/462193

Yeeeah I hear ya there. Played your game and it was glorious haha!

Haha, glad you liked it! I was so excited when the team said they'd be keen to try some stuff with dialogue. I love dialogue systems and think there's so much room to do some more crazy stuff with them, but pretty much everyone I've ever worked with in the past adopts more of an 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' mentality.

Yeah that's great! Dialogue can be the entire experience if you really work with it.

Oh I totally agree.

I think a lot of people end up mistaking good writing for a good dialogue system, and I'm not convinced they're the same thing!

Just finished playing the game! Excellent puzzle/strategy game with lots of potench! ;)

My game is called One Shot In The Chamber, a wave based survival game where you must fight off hordes of enemies with the catch being, you have only one bullet. Fortunately, the bullet is magic and you can summon it back to you or teleport to it. Using this unique ability, you must survive as long as possible in the chamber. Here is a screenshot of the game and the link to the game page: https://mark-auman.itch.io/one-shot-in-the-chamber

Alright, I played your game! It's concept is really cool, and I had a lot of fun with it! One note however, my power went out in the middle of playing it xD so I had to switch to my laptop and play it over mobile wifi through my phone. Still extremely fun, although considerably more difficult with a trackpad.

Hmm-- my laptop can't seem to run the program! When my power comes back on ill make sure to try and play it again. It's likely because you exported in a 64-bit only mode, because this laptop is only running a 32 bit OS xD. Ill make a note to try it again with my desktop.

I went ahead and played your game! The one tower mechanic is extremely interesting and addictive, and overall the game is very fun!

Will give you a play and a rating :)

Finally got my internet back and got around to playing your game. It was Interesting, but i feel as though you could have made it a bit more fast paced from the start-- it seemed a bit slow at first.

Here's mine: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/459874

(make sure you read the IMPORTANT section in the itch.io description)

Off to play yours then,

Played a few rounds of your game against my brother, and It has an interesting concept, but I'm not entirely sure what's "Only One" about it-- the pieces change multiple times. Sure at the end you claim that you cant restart the game but all you have to do is close the window and reopen it... Other than that its kind of just chess with an added feature..? I don't know exactly how to feel about the game.

Yeah I know. I can explain how I got to the feeling that that's only one.

At first I thought about chess except every couple of turns, you change all of your pieces to only one type. But then I thought that that would maybe be boring, and maybe you should choose only one piece. I thought about that again and understood it doesn't really work for most people only the morning after the end of the jam.

This is my game called One Enemy. Shoot the enemy as many times as possible and dodge it's bullets. It's my first ever jam entry and also my first finished game.

Alright! Went and played your game-- and it was Excellent! I had a fun time dodging and weaving around the enemy's attacks. My one gripe with the game is the almost nonexistent difficulty curve. The game seems far too easy perhaps, and from what I saw there is no actual end goal, you just aim for the highest score. Perhaps with a quickly increasing difficulty curve this game could become an arcade-like hit!

Thanks for playing! There is an increasing difficulty, but I guess I made it too slow. Many people have already said the same thing. The enemy speeds up after every attack, but the problem is that this first becomes noticable at a score of around 150. Thanks for the feedback, I'll probably increase the difficulty of the game in the future!

Alright, I played your guys' game and it was incredibly fun. I personally enjoy games like this a lot and had a great time with it! the one issue i saw was that a certain player had given themselves a paragraph on Adolf Hitler as their name so that it would take up a big chunk of the screen when you get into the lobby and while that didn't affect my score, you may want to limit your usernames to about ~16 characters

Thanks for the praise. The comment is not appreciated - the game is not actually multiplayer, that is our next level subversive approach to the theme. There is no username of this, go troll some other entry. If you saw that name, you entered it. If you did, you suck.

Unfortunately, your game wasn't loading on my browser ;/ It ended up just showing me a blank white screen. I can try with another computer later but I won't submit a rating until I have.

Oh... sorry for inconvenience and thank you very much for visit our game.
We really appreciate your kindness.

Hey this is my cute little black and white zelda style game. A lot of people say its got a lot of content and really polished for 24 hours! Each weapon has only one hit, so you have to find a new one every time. It can get pretty intense swapping in and out of combat whilst enemies swarm around you! I hope you play and rate! Thx
