I played on Normal, but couldn't beat the 2nd puzzle...I wonder what that says about me.
I like the sound, the graphics and especially the idea.
The only other design feedback I would give is maybe include an option to zoom in and out. Having to manage scrolling the camera while controlling multiple characters only added to the difficulty (unless this was intentional of course). The view of the scene in hard mode is probably a better fit to alleviate this challenge. Although I didn't actually attempt hard mode, it is nice that you included difficulty options. I enjoyed visual design, music, and the fresh take on the puzzle genre.
I hope to see more from you in the future!
Btw, we actually made a multiple board puzzle game last LD too so I know just how hard it is to design those levels, you can scope it out here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/how-i-met-your-great-great-grandmother
I'll definitely be checking it out
otherwise it was a nice experience
All in all, its a nice idea done well for a game jam!
The controls were not intuitive, I didnt get the camera movement at first.
I liked the puzzle aspect, but the combination with quick controls was well, worse the more you have, I guess..
Seriously? Dudes, there are like **5** of you on the team. Would it kill you to go out and play some other's games?
Also you did seem to have enough access to computers and time to advertise your game enough to get past 20 ratings. ((Just your feed alone contains 10 advertisements...))
Don't get me wrong, but I really think that checking out what other people created is an important part of the jam.
As well as posting and reading post-mortems...
I'm really sorry if it bothered you that we advertised too much and played too little (I had that worry myself), and I also hope that we got all that sorted out! :)
Ps.: English is not my main language, so sorry for any mistakes also!
Also, I agree with the camera, it is not the best thing I could've created haha
Thanks for the feedback tho!
Thanks for the feedback anyway!
I don't have a problem with advertising your game or anything.
((I have a bit of an issue with games like [this](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/pipe-trek) when the vast majority of ratings is given by creators own big auditory. And not because this is not a valid way to get attentions, but because the votes from fans might not be exactly objective opinions about the game...))
Besides you were not the worse example from this department. 10 post across 20 day is not that noisy. It's not like you were reposting your advertisement as soon as it dropped below the first page of feed (saw some games do that during LD39... had to struggle really hard not to go and 1-star them across the board just in spite. But that wouldn't been good anyway.)
What really tricked me off in your case was that there were 5 of you listed, and still you didn't find much time to rate others, which was... odd.
Or maybe I'm just that grumpy because I never made a visually appealing game myself, so I couldn't get more spotlight by advertising...
Anyway, enough of me spoiling everybody's meed by being all grumpy here. I didn't mean to upset anyone, and I wish all the best and to see you in future jams!
*PS: Don't worry about your English... it's not my primary language as well, and I'm pretty sure my writing is not the best as well...*
