SNAP! by domo_demo

[raw]
made by domo_demo for LD34 (JAM)
Hey! This is my very first game and gamejam, SNAP!

You have to keep the power on to let people appreciate the show! Two buttons, left and right of the stage must be regularly reactivate by pressing (Space) on it. People will send flowers to thank you , you can pick them up and deliver them to the singer to gain more points.
->if the generator drops a battery, you can use it to run faster!

////////CONTROLS////////
Left = Left Arrow
Right = Right Arrow
Jump = Up Arrow
Push = Space
Ladder = Up / Down Arrow
Jump out the ladder = Right or Left Arrow + Up Arrow

I had so many things to add in this game, so many ideas, but so little time.. i'm new in game making, so be cool with me ^^

Have fun =)

Cool game, found it tricky to get off the ladders but once I'd sorted that I figured out what I was supposed to be doing.

You should add a guide on this page for people.

Overall it's not a bad game. Quite fun I'd say. But the controls are too clumsy. A lot of the game is not clear in the beginning. Especially how to get off of the ladder. The goal was unclear too. The music is nice, but it doesn't fit the setting very well. One last thing: some polish would've make it much better. E.g. random texts appearing around that man, ovations (or boos when it gets dark), some introductory narrative.

I like the low file size, that made it easy to download as my internet has been pretty awful this time around.

It's okay, my main nitpick is that I don't like how it's fullscreen by default. Other than that, okay entry.

Love the mood and the effects. And I don't think the game needs more of an explanation, it's pretty simple as it is.
Unfortunately for such a fast-paced, skill based game the controls are too hard/glitchy, especially jumping off ladders.
Otherwise it's a lot of fun and it looks really polished, well done.

This is so good!! That music and them light effects really set an oppressing mood and the concept in itself is very nice. I love that you have to chose between keeping it safe and stay by the buttons or go for the points. Amazing first entry, hope to see you around next LD!

Really nice game,
My Hi-Score was 3581!

Nice artwork!

Was a bit confused in the start, maybe a tutorial should help!

A quite interesting game, but controls are driving me mad. Epesialy ladders. They just freak me out ( You have to press Up arrow and right or left one to jump off the ladder and small collision box of ladder, which is extremely hard to descend. )

It's a really cool concept, and the style is really spot on. There are a couple things that would make a huge difference. The first one is explanation: at first, I have no idea what I'm doing or what these buttons do, and I don't even know that there are two buttons to press until it says "game over". The second one is the platformer physics. I would get stuck on a ladder that I'm trying to dismount, desperatly trying to reach a button that is only a couple feet away, and then I'd end up jumping over the button and I'd have to climb back up to try again. Anyway, this game is one of my favorites this round.

Interesting concept, effects and theme. I like the art, sound and mechanics. Maybe at first I did not understand well the game,but later I enjoyed it a lot :-D
