This game is insane. I'm fighting for my life in my bloodstream and suddenly my universe got eaten by a black hole. You deserve the "-mageddon" crown good sir. In fact, you win the theme altogether. Nothing tops this.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We can hardly accept the crown after playing your game!
Pretty solid game! The wolves start getting out of hand, but everything else felt fairly even on the difficulty scale. Would definitely pay $1 for this game if it were on Steam!
Thanks so much! We are thinking about putting it on Steam for sure!
Holy shit the scale is absolutely bananas lol. When I scrolled the mouse wheel and it went straight into the world I was blown away!
Couldn't get past 510 score because a black hole outta nowhere killed me lol!
That was fun, I like the graphics and wish there was a bit more of sounds.
Kudos on making something so crazy! Also, how do you even escape the black hole? When the screen got all wobbly I knew I was done for everytime.
Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback! It's not clear in the game (because we ran out of time before we could make a good tutorial), but there's 5 total levels you can move between. The black hole level is the furthest out and if you click on the galaxy, it'll push it further away from the black hole, keeping you alive longer!
What an incredible game! It’s chaotic but in the best way possible. The idea of juggling five different levels at once is super creative and unique. The pixel art is stunning and adds to the fun.
Thank you so much!
A beautiful idea, I find it a little frustrating when I die without knowing the reason why, but very fun nontheless
Thanks for the feedback! Sorry it wasn't explained well in the game. If you zoom in and out with the scroll wheel, you actually switch between different levels. There's 5 levels total and all of them are happening at the same time so anything can kill you, even if its not the level you're currently looking at.
Yeah I noticed that, but sometimes I was looking at the DNA level and I would die because of something on another level, it would be nice for example to automatically show the level where I died after it happens
fantastic game! I love your approach on the topic. Super nice pixel gaphics. Fun playing. I guess you might make it to the top 100! My vote will defintely help you you at least, you got full points for this work.
Thank you so much! We had a blast making it!
A very polished game 🎮 combining many the characteristics of many games.The art of the game took my ❤️. it's just amazing and I am seeing this game to be in the top 20.
I invite you to play my game as well.
It will be a pleasure.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Llamageddon is a wild ride! It’s an impressive mashup of five different minigames that you’re juggling all at once, and the chaos is just perfect for a game jam. The visual polish is top-notch—you can really see the effort that went into it. The sound effects are great too, adding to the frantic atmosphere. It’s a super chaotic experience, but in the best way possible. Great job on this one!
It would be really great to have global leaderboards on this one. Anyway, 100% going to the this year's bag of gems for me.
Wow! Thank you so much! There were three of us working together on this and this was our third year doing the GMTK game jam together. It really felt like we hit our stride on this one. We'd love to add a proper tutorial, high scores / leaderboards, and maybe even some more features to it in the future.
It was pure chaos HAHAHAHA. Some better visualization of what is happening across all scales woudl be great because this way the game was quite hard. But it was still fun to play.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback! We had plans to incorporate visual feedback for all the threats at every level (or at least most of them) as well as a tutorial, but ran out of time.
Very fun frantic gameplay.
I was very confused when I died to a black hole.
Thanks for playing! Didn't do a good job explaining but there's actually 5 levels, if you zoom out (scroll wheel) twice, you'll get to the black hole level.
Yeah I figured after I died. It was just a funny surprising moment I had while playing :)
Fun minigames and great idea for the theme. The tutorial was helpful and I liked how some of the scales interacted with each other (being able to tell you’re getting sucked into the black hole, being able to kill the wolves with the meteor)
Thanks! We wanted to make a proper tutorial but didn't have time, so we just did the indicators for the controls.
Very good entry to the jam. Also one of the few downloadable games with a MacOS release. : D
Only point I would criticize is that it takes a while to get used to all the mechanics. Maybe a short optional tutorial/handbook of the dangers to your llama might be helpful here.
Unless finding these things out for yourself is intended. : )
Thanks for playing, glad you liked it! We wanted to have a proper tutorial, but ran out of time!
Great game ! A unique way to implement the theme, which is really cool ! Art is amazing as well ! Keep up the good work :D
Thanks so much!!
Very fun and creative! I love how hectic is gets dealing with all the threats, I appreciate all the little tells you get when something's about to become a problem.
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it!
Wow, this must be the most creative game in this game jam. At first I was a little bit confused, but when I discovered how different mechanics works, I had a lot of fun. This game fits the theme extremely well and I enjoyed finding all off the symptoms that told that something is not right like distortion of screen when black hole sucks up your galaxy. Very good work!
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the compliments!
Another cool microscopic and infact the best in this category, I would say, not just the game concept but you also nailed the art and visuals.
Keep up the good work and best of luck.
If you're free I invite you to play my silly game as well.It will be a pleasure for me.
Thanks for the kind words!
Gosh that was awesome!
I didn't get it at first but when I understand the concept... wow!
It's a fresh idea with a solid implementation.
Maybe there could be a little downtime at the start to teach the player all the mechanics you have and give some time to practice could be cool.
But still it's a very solid entry for a jam! Take those 5 stars and give our game a go when you'll have some time :)
Appreciate the feedback! We definitely wanted to do a proper tutorial to slowly introduce the player, but didn't have time!
Time is what we all don't have enough!
But I'm impressed by the amount of work and polish which was achieved during that time!
I thought I rated this yesterday my bad. Fun game. I found it challenging and entertaining. Plus Llamas get extra points from me haha. Great job.
No need to apologize. Thanks for playing!
Really interesting idea ! Had to read the comments to figure out the whole concept though, since you move with the mouse I failed to interpret correctly the mouse prompts as "scroll to change scale". Didn't manage to last muuuch farther than the black hole knowing this though, gameplay is pretty hard and frantic
Sorry the instructions weren't clear! We didn't have time to make a full tutorial like we wanted. If you scroll out twice you can get to the black hole level and if you click on the galaxy, it pushes you further away from the black hole, buying you more time. Thanks for playing!
My llama lasted 5 minutes before a meteor fell on them :(
Loved it, this was a perfect implementation of the theme!
