Make Ludum Dare Great Again by ultimategrinder

[raw]
made by ultimategrinder for LD 40 (JAM)

Everyone knows how hard it is to make a great Ludum Dare game. Especially when something is missing...something very important...like coffee. Also everyone knows how painful coffee can be when you drink too much of it.

Screen.jpg

In this game your goal is to give your team the perfect amount of coffee for them to finish the production of the game before the Ludum Dare ends ! Too much coffee and your team will screw your game, not enough coffee and your team will fall aspleep ! :weary:

☕️ I love this, neat idea simple controls. I Would suggest moving the game progress to somewhere more viable as kind of missed it up so high

Haha, j'ai bien rigolé. On a fait pareil mais c'était de la bière au lieu du café :p
J'ai quelques soucis avec les contrôles mais je pense que c'est dû a mon dual screen (ca bloque sur les côtés de l'écran). J'ai quand même pu finir mon jeu à 100% !

Great Game, very nice art and visuals the gameplay simple and addictive, and it really goes with the theme. When using WebGL for some reason the camera movement and aim is really buggy. Other then that wonderful job!

Hilarious and well-made game! Had quite the fun playing it.

I don't really get how it fits with the theme, it's more of a balance thing, I'd say.

Well done nevertheless!

Awesome concept, great gameplay only one thing, I got myself stuck by looking at the ceiling. The mouse isn't "stuck" in the window so you can't look down enough to correct it. Other than that, 10/10

No a coffee-drinker myself, but fun and simple execution of the concept.

Seems like the victory sound effect loops if you leave it on that screen.

Very cool game, little tip, the mouse isn't locked so with multiple monitors it can leave the game and click something else. Assuming that was made in unity use Cursor.lockState

Great idea and sums up the jam perfectly (so I've been told - This was my first and I did the compo).
The art style was really cool and the game played well. Great work.

06. Dec 2017 · 14:52 UTC
Love it. looks good, sounds good, plays good, and it's funny.
Could be improved with difficulty levels, the default is a little too easy, you can leave everyone asleep for a little while and then still win.
But I really like it. Well done!

I think I am sick. I actually tried to kill them with coffee after I saw them get mad by having too much coffee!
I am glad that didn't happen. :joy:
btw Well done! I had a good time being a manager and all I need to do is watching those guys working :smiling_imp:

Very funny game. I really love all of the animations and how clear it is when people are slowing down and need coffee. Love the idea!
CoderK
06. Dec 2017 · 15:45 UTC
Fun game! The animations are nice and the concept is really fun. My only issue with the game is that it is hard to see where the coffee is landing when you shoot it to the back.

Nice graphics, straightforward gameplay. I can really relate to this one, with Ludum Dare and coffee dosage the struggle is real.

It's kinda hard to see where the coffee is landing, especially since it doesn't aim to the center of your screen. Other than that, it's a great entry!

I was disappointed that I couldn't hit some of the guys with the coffee, but all and all it was an enjoyable fun little experience.

This is a fun little idea. Graphics and game play wise really nicely executed. It is pretty hard to aim, would be nice to have a wider splash area. It would be really cool if there were different coffee shooters, like a latte bazzoka, mocha grenades, etc. The UI needs some more work. Overall a fun game that is following the theme.

Great game and really funny animations. I assume when they were banging their head on the table they were extra productive :P.

YEEEEAH this was great. Super fun take on the theme, and the gameplay is very engaging and interesting for what first seemed like a 'humor game'. This was a real joy to find!

One of the funniest games I have played in Ludum Dare history haha. Coffee is great :D

Graphics and the overall feel of the game as really great, the controls were okay but somewhat difficult but that's alright since otherwise it would have almost been too easy.

Great job and thanks for this awesome game :p

The more coffee you give, the more excited they are. And when they're excited, you lose progress.

I'm impressed with the unique idea! First of all, I loved the music. It fit the humorous mood of the game. Second of all, I think the graphics of the humans made the game much more hilarious. It was a pretty funny game! However, the gameplay is too easy. The game could be more fun if it was a little bit harder. Overall, good job with the game!

Definitely quite funny! I finished the game on the first try, which made me think that maybe there should be a time based scoring system, where finishing faster would yield higher scores? The music choice was awesome, the graphics are nice, the animations are smooth. Sometimes it was pretty hard to hit the coders with coffee, but that wasn't a big problem. Once when I finished the game, I managed to get myself into a loop, where the finishing sound looped over and over, my mouse was hijacked and I couldn't choose either replay or quit (HTML5 build), so maybe there's a bug there. Anyway, great job!

Crunshtime the game with a coffethrower :D Super funny entry. The game mechanics are simple but effective. I'm not sure about the music though, seems to be protected and i would change it. Otherwise solid (fluid :p) entry!

Love it! At first I tried with precision to aim into their cups before I realised I was supposed to be pouring on *them* as I got my first set of hearts! 🤓

Was wondering whether the music was made specifically for the game which would've been amazing, but since you opted out of the audio category, I'm guessing not. Still very funny, and the animation of the characters tapping away on the keyboard goes perfectly with it.

My one issue would be that I'm not sure how it ties into the theme, but I really enjoyed it. <3
