Schrodinghost by Carduus

[raw]
made by Carduus for LD30 (JAM)
SCHRODINGHOST !

Just click everywere, hell yeah, it's a Point & click!

mass bugs, and no preloader...
10Mo, could be a bit long , sorry y_y, please wait a bit :)

BUT DAMMIT WE DID IT! AND YOU CAN FINISH IT!

We were very short on time because Point& click game seems to be "simple" to make, but for us... It was not. Not because it is technically hard, there is no big deal with that, but those kind of game need a huge and nice thought code architecture, in our case, it was only chaos!
Nevertheless, we are very proud, and we had so much fun with Schrodinghost!
We hope that you will feel the hapiness and the soul we tried to introduce in this game in spite of its defaults.
Some stuff has been rushed (really rush a LD ? no joke! )and some of gameplay we imagined were cutted in intend to have our game ready on time.

Code & blood tears: looPing + flashPunck
Music, Storytelling, distraction, Jim Beam Whiskey: Valmont de Ragondas
Graphics flood: Carduus

We will make some post compo typos corrections today (text that does not display correctly, bugged feedbacks... we hope that you'll not feel it unfair, no feature will be added, we'll maybe do a post compo version for that.

This was a neat entry. Short and sweet. The graphics are *great,* and the music is really well-done--especially that first tune, which reminded me of some sort of German Opera sung by a cat. Glorious, laugh-out-loud weltschmerz. I loved the way that the dialogue was written. I did actually have so much trouble with the final room that I almost had to give up on the game, though, because first I had no idea why pressing the red switch would make the scientist grab the ham (it wasn't clear that it was falling or suchlike, and second I didn't guess that the radio would have multiple stations I could turn it to--I thought I was supposed to do the radio and then look for something else to interact with it. In retrospect this was kinda dumb of me, but from there straight to a sort of non-sequitur ending I was a bit disappointed.

Your assets are amazing, the stealth sections were fun, and I loved the idea of astral-projecting yourself into the electrical socket. Thank you for the game!

Excellent animation and art style. My only complaint is that aside from a few basic stealth elements the gameplay wasn't really there.

Truly impressed by the quality of the graphics, the high finish level, the sound design and others.
Also an original and really well thought idea of the use of the schrodinger's cat concept.

Amazing work, Bravo !

Lol :) Some awesomes quotes here ! There's a lot of game with undeads but quantic undead is a lot more fun :)
Bug (+spoiler) : on the last sequence the first time I clicked on the plug for the anvil shrodinger was walking without moving. After that with a second click the anvi lanim played but shrodinger stayed in that stance ( no death anim or splash, just walking )

Really reminded me of Ghost Trick, and that's always a good thing!

I have only a few minor complaints about the glorious package that is this game (apart from the obvious typos). In the first screen I got Maru to run in place and the controls were somewhat stiff all over the place (the ghost controls were fine though). The ham and the anvil not having a cool falling animation also broke the illusion somewhat. Really nice entry especially when it comes to the aesthetics!

Wow! o_o
Amazing quality! The graphics and the music are superb!

The game is really fun and funny, even with few possible interactions (for a point-and-click). Even the passages were you had to wait and move cautiously were fun because of the animations.

Congrats! =D

Very nice art style, very smooth controls! A few issues. The wall sockets don't really look interactable (other interactive items are bright red) so it took me a long time to start using them. Also, it's real easy to lose a level and then watch the opening again, which gets frustrating. Otherwise, cool stuff.

Superbly executed game. All aspects really well worked. Rare to such a game in LD. I'm very happy to have played it. It didn't matter that it was quite short. To actually get to complete one or two games is truly rewarding too. I usually find something to complain about but I don't feel like there was anything, except maybe a re-play button and some easter egg thing on the final screen...

29. Aug 2014 · 21:02 UTC
Gorgeous and funny! I felt like the last puzzle was a bit cheap. Maybe I missed a clue but I solved it only by randomly clicking on things. Perhaps this was just due to the time crunch, which is understandable. Great concept and well executed.

Oh my god, I'm getting some intense Ghost Trick vibes here, and I couldn't be happier.

This plays like a dream, but if I was to suggest anything it would be a little more consistency to what you can interact with in Ghost Mode - all the switches are in red and that makes sense, but I fell the electrical sockets should be too.

Thanks for making this! It was real cute.

A really solid entry, fun to see a point and click game! I like that it was a little like ghost trick, but I liked the setting for this game a lot more than that of ghost trick. Funny monologues as well! Shrödinger was really gangly and creepy, hehe. The last puzzle felt a little less polished, but overall the game holds a really high amount of polish. Awesome work! :D
Sunflower
03. Sep 2014 · 12:38 UTC
Yup, that game is pretty excellent, even if short. Kinda reminds me of Ghost Trick. Graphics and animations, various soundtracks, pretty fun puzzles and the cat.
...come to think of it, it really is like Ghost Trick. O.o"

Sure I wouldn't mind seeing more of that...

Hi, here's some feedback about your game.

What i liked :
- The subjet you choose (Schrodinger) and the atmosphere you built around
- The realization, it's neat and really playable.
- The cat narration
- Musics and sounds
- Graphics and animations
- The difficulty (pretty well balanced imo)

What imo could be improved :
- The ending. An anvil ? Really ? There was better to do !
- Your game description. It's alot better than announced, don't talk about bugs (didn't see one, but maybe it was correcteed by the time ?), just keep the positive part, even if you think your game doesn't deserve too much praise. You can still highlight the parts your proud of and keep that humble approach without the negative points =)

A very good overall, thanks for the game !

08. Sep 2014 · 13:55 UTC
Such a nicely polished entry, liked the puzzle aspect and the way you used the theme of connected worlds. Great art and the music worked so well. The animation of the cat in the box movement was my favourite, loved the bouncing nature of it. Also was able to play till the end so that's always a good sign. Did feel like the last puzzle screen was a bit out of the blue though with the chicken and anvil.
