Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs by Lythom

[raw]
made by Lythom for LD28 (COMPO)
That day, the dwarves took a huuuge order of 70 tonnes of ore.It was a hard job but they were confident for the deadline.
Unfortunatly, a storm swept across most of their house, leaving only one bed. There were no time to rebuild the house, the order had to be prepared !

Help the dwarves managing their work and sleep by sharing the only one bed you got.

The game is made in haxe+openfl targetting html5/js.
Click a dwarf to send him to bed. Click him again or send another dwarf to bed to send him back to work.

Nice implementation of the theme! The gameplay needs a bit more complexity, I never really had to make an hard decisions about who to send to bed, I just sent whoever was most tired. I think to make this work, each dwarf needs to have their own unique way of interacting with the mining ( maybe one prevents cave-ins, one boosts everyone else's productivity, one moves ore out to a stockpile, etc... Also might be good to have random events that deplete and refill the dwarves energy bars, to make it less predictable.

I enjoyed the drawings though, who is the guy with a tree in front of his head?? :D

I thought about random events but ran out of time (had a heavy week end aside of the ludum dare :( ). Alors, combination/interaction between dwarves in definitely what the game miss !
I didn't try the game on mobile devices and this is definitly a good news, thanks a lot for your feedback !
Btw, the dwarf hiding behind the tree is Bashful =)

Made it to 77300 :)

Innovative take on the theme and surprisingly compelling. If the game have a bit more feedback (sound and animations) it would've been even better. However, I would say it was too easy, at no point did I feel rushed or threatened by failure!

That's a very good interpretation of the theme :)
The game is surprisingly pleasant yet simple, I managed to reach 77200! It maybe lacks some kind of penalty when someone falls asleep, like a long cooldown before waking up. The rythm of energy loss seems different between the dwarves, but it maybe would require more variations to be really important (like various bar sizes).

I thought that was a very original idea - straightforward, but fun too. Nice one.

fun little game about timing and management. I like the idea about the classic fairy story being used and the characetured dwarves.
