Definitely the jamblest game I've played this month! I had fun with it despite being quite simple. Numbers go up, slot machine, flying frog I can pet to death, whats not to like :D
A roulette gamble for my teeth? I was playing the entire game with this concerned smile on my face the whole time 😂 very moody with the background ambience, reminds me of the creepiest dungeons, and the tooth crunch, ew! Good job 😆
Thank you, I have a tendency to make esoteric games that confuse people, I have to improve on my communication but thats not the fun part of making games 😂
Thank you! Making this game harder was actually way more difficult than I first thought, and it being a gambling game I find it hard to strike the balance of the brutal gambling chance vs keeping it fun as a game. When I finally got it all plugged together at first, I realized that it wasn't actually hard at all and a conservative approach would always win, which meant that I had failed in making gambling a central theme for the game. So compromises were made to have a playable game that you could actually lose by the end of the jam 😂
Nice job, clearly a lot of work went into this project! It's a little confusing because so much is going on and I think theres a lot of 'hidden' rules besides just attack and HP stats and so on. The way defense plays into it, and also types? When one of mine hits an enemy and it gains health, feels like I missed something essential 😂
Ahh what can I say, just a fun game about good old consumerism, profit at any cost. Even just tasing innocent people while you drive by at a million miles per hour. It feels good, but does that make me evil?
Very nice driving around town, totally unexpected to see it done so well, nice scenery, nice (dirty and hopeless) interior in the players home haha. Everything was made like there is an entire world to explore. Overall well done, though as others wrote it needs a bit more sound FX but sometimes there's just no time 😂 The implementation of the theme is hazy, is it the player's 3am hunger or is it the fate of the player to be consumed?
Good job, I think its a funny concept, but a little confusing, took me reading the page description a few times to understand that I could change the color by 1-4 buttons and there was an actual order menu on 5 😂 Growing your own slimes to sell is a fun idea. With some polish and some work on the core mechanics it could be even more fun and confusing all at once. How about recipes to create rare slimes (red+blue = purple slime!).
Yeah getting the pinky/magenta bar filled advances the level 😂 Thanks for playing, and it sounds like you did great! As I wrote on the page, it's definitely not balanced and I wasn't even sure if the game is finishable in its current state, haha. Not that it has an ending, it goes to level 10 and nothing further happens even if you reach higher levels than 10, which you can lol.
I imagined it as a kind of combo system where you try build up the blue bar (dubbed mass) to advance the pink bar (dubbed stability). At first the puzzle is easy; its easy to build mass and stability. Then it becomes more complex because later some consumes has to be used correctly to advance. The last levels are more chaotic with crazy conversion rates, mass(blue) is starved and the player has to find a loop where he can chain certain combinations to raise mass far enough to afford to eat the big converter (like -5 blue + 5 pink) or something like that. What definitely isn't communicated but was necessary for balance was the feature that trying to convert mass you dont have, the mass you have too little of is taken from stability instead, to prevent a free conversion/free points. so if you have 2 of each, then get -3 mass +3 object, stability will put you at 0 mass, 4 stability. If you try it again with 0 and 4, then you still have 0 and 4 (because you lose 3 and gain 3). What started as a simple system quickly became complex with specific rules and emergent puzzles from the mechanics I had lined up. It was a real mess 😂
Nice commentary on the state of things 😂 the pee mechanic was a fun surprise, when I ended up peeing everywhere on my short break before fetching more parcels to move them A->B. Creative interpretation of the theme 😆
Didn't make it as far as I'd like but definitely felt the life draining reality of working hard, then spending all my money on coca colas and investing it into doing more work faster and better. I somehow imagine a multiplayer game where players have to work together to get a warehouse like this running, like Overcooked but with parcels haha. Great job my dudes!
Pacman with guns, cant believe it haha! I think the enemy had a bit too much life and ended up a little repetitive as a result, but I love the idea and the powerups, very fitting sounds etc. I'm imagining an array of guns, automatic and explosive and so on, multiple levels with smaller bosses, building up to the big bad. A wave based shooter and you would have to pick up the automatic weapon to deal with hordes of small ones, then pick a bigger weapon for the boss. CHOMP CHOMP!
Hey, thanks for playing, and for the kind words! Due to rapidly changing direction of the game, it was hard to actually figure out what was going to be the thing players had to overcome. It ended up being that the player was not being able to progress if the player didn't solve the puzzle of sequence of what to eat to progress, but I agree its a mess ultimately. Could use some depth and some hazards of some kind, but it was fun to make for what it was haha
Good job, bouncy sounds and very colorful. Looks like a good formula for some addictive gameplay, the only thing I really missed was a tighter coupling between the shown trajectory and how the character actually moves. It would give more satisfaction for the trick shots I had in mind, but was disappointed when I hit the corner and bounced somewhere else. More levels and it could be a whole thing!
Thanks a lot for the kind feedback! After a certain point I wanted to try going for a text- and number-less aesthetic, but didn't get the polish in to actually communicate anything as well as I intended it to. I first tried a dynamic level scaling where you could actually de-level if you kept doing things wrong, but settled on a level-by-level format instead. Was a lot of fun and learned a lot, at least 😂
1) Use the mechanics of old wildcard(s) in your game (implement their mechanics) Or 2) Show old wildcard(s) in your game (show off the card(s) visually)
It would make for a good red herring to keep them, but let them lead to other clues. Good job on the game! I definitely had to play long enough to make it to the end, though had to use your guide because I kept getting it wrong :P
I also definitely had to play to a perfect 1-1-3 score however many resets I had to do in the end, haha. Addictive gameplay to get the best scores. Would probably translate well to a mobile game as well, and could keep people playing just to perfect scores and be rated after a 3 star system, 3 stars only for the optimal plays. Good Job!
It seems like playing in full screen was important to not miss any planes flying at the top. As a musician this game really speaks to me, very well done :D Beautiful music too, the melody played by the player is really impactful despite being simple, due to your great composition!
I wonder what the hearts are for, I wasn't sure if it was a one hit death or if it just happened too quickly. Looking forward to seeing what it turns into :D
Fun game that fits the theme very well. I have a soft spot for Typing of the Dead 🤣
Loved the clacking sounds when typing! The popups didnt always close when clicking the X, if I was just a few pixels off. I think the click to close concept would be better if it was easier to hit with the mouse (bigger area to hit) etc. Great job!
