Tonight I will have an update that will add your most recent score to the screen so you can see it after you die. I am also going to try and have the window focus when the game loads to see if that fixes the focusing issue. Sorry I really was not ready for this game to be published yet, but due to errors uploading and setting up the files it is available early. Please be patient while I add some features in and also if you want anything in the game.. I guess it's a perfect time to ask :)
This is a really great game and I think you did a phenomenal job scoping the LD challenge. I think you are pretty much a winner with this one and I would be surprised to see anything top it.
I liked this a lot. I think it is a good entry for Ludum Dare. I hope you continue your game after the compo. The mood is perfect for the sfx+bgm. I like the retro filter you have going on also.
I hope to see you develop this further after the contest ends. I don't think a lot of players understand the Ludum Dare constraints and I wish Kongregate would shed a little light on the origin of the games we are submitting. Lumping them in with other games and not at least giving us a [LD] logo or identity is pretty much tossing these games to the wolves. It's nice to see my game try and hold it's own against other games developed over months (years?) but at the same time I'd like an honest rating given the circumstances of creating the game in a weekend.
I plan to release a post-compo version, with proper graphics and sound and about a weeks worth of new features, balancing, and UI improvements. Any suggestions for that version are absolutely welcome! It's true that it surprised me to be compared with non-Jam games, and the negativity stemming from that, but on the other hand the fact that I've nearly hit 2 stars with 2 days work under that criteria is actually better than I would've expected. And that means I only need to put in 5 days work for a 5 star game, that's how this should work, right? Heh.
This game was made for Ludum Dare 24 and was created over the weekend. After the contest ends I will be making a lot of changes and expanding the concept and gameplay. Any feedback is welcome and if it becomes a major change/fix/expansion that is not already in place or scheduled I will be more than happy to give your kong name some credit in the game credits!
