Peacemaker by Sandra Jasionowska

made by Sandra Jasionowska for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

It's a beautiful, sunny day in a small town. Young Hippie just wants to go to a coffee shop and relax, but there are many pissed people in the city. (We live in stressful times.)

But! Our man has an amazing power - shooting love, which can make angry people calm and relaxed. (And disappeared.)

Help him fulfill his mission. Spread peace and love in the city.

Cute and fun game! It is quite challenging! I loved the graphics a lot! :)
Keep the peace alive :v:

20. Apr 2020 · 21:21 UTC

Nice 😄 Like the graphics, and the music. The angry people had a tendency to get stuck on objects, which made it very easy to "love" them. Missed a sound effect when drinking, besides that I really enjoyed it. 👍

20. Apr 2020 · 22:14 UTC

Nice game, excellent graphics and style. The music is also very nice, maybe the level of difficulty is a little too simple. Peace!

@puzmak Thanks for playing! We were thinking about making hardness level choosable, but, you know - not enough time. Glad you liked it!

🎤 Sandra Jasionowska

21. Apr 2020 · 05:38 UTC

@incd021 We could add some pathfinding, but never done that and time to make the game was short :smirk: Maybe next time :smirk: Glad you liked it!

21. Apr 2020 · 07:46 UTC

@incd021 yeah, I realized that there is no sound effect when drinking too late, will not forget next time :smirk_cat:

21. Apr 2020 · 08:28 UTC

Fun game, really like that you need to use your own hearths to fight and the sounds of the enemies where funny :D

🎤 Sandra Jasionowska

21. Apr 2020 · 08:32 UTC

@tuesi I think that one of the sounds is actually terrifying :smile: thank you for the feedback!

@svalinn85 Glad you liked it!

21. Apr 2020 · 17:41 UTC

I love this! It reminds me a lot of an old Super NES gamed called Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Solid gameplay! I really appreciate having heart refill stations since I definitely am a terrible shot in games. The graphics are charming and I appreciate that you're fighting with love.

21. Apr 2020 · 17:44 UTC

Challenging, fun and silly (in a good way!). Love the take on the theme, the assets are super cute. Maybe a bit too challenging at times, but we know how hard it is to balance a game in a jam, so overall really good stuff!

21. Apr 2020 · 17:48 UTC

very clean art style. Fun :) and lovely music

@ellenary kill'em with kindness! :v: Glad you liked it! We have put our hearts into this game :sweat_smile: Sadly, I didn't play Zombies AteMy Neighbors. Maybe I'll find it online and some NES emulator. (PS I'm still dying sometimes when playing this game, so I also appreciate the love drinks :laughing: )

@sndr Try to keep the distance! Enemies shoot "slower" than you :smiley: Glad you liked it!

21. Apr 2020 · 17:51 UTC

@ironpower Thanks! We did our best.

21. Apr 2020 · 20:04 UTC

I love the monocromatic palette used for the game makes for a great mood. The music is very cool too, has a nice vibe.
THe SFX are quite rough ( one of the uh/Ah is too out of the mood) and break a bit that nice mood. Make you really want to peace this guys!
I am bad at this kind of move and aim game, this was one I was especially bad at aligning myself and not having the enemies stuck in half a wall being able to shoot myself.
great jam game

21. Apr 2020 · 21:20 UTC

@dhim thanks for feedback, i felt like that sounds not fit very well. but couldn't find better :D Glad you enjoyed our game.

22. Apr 2020 · 00:23 UTC

this game looks really good! nice work

22. Apr 2020 · 03:37 UTC

It's funny how some here are saying it was difficult, others too easy. I thought it definitely wasn't easy. Really liked the art style and mood. The love as weapon concept and filling up hearts was a nice mechanic. I did get to 0 on the enemies but nothing happened?

@interface Hey, as it is said at the beginning, the Hippie wants to go to the Coffee Shop. You need to go to the Coffee Shop after killing all enemies.

22. Apr 2020 · 06:18 UTC

AArgh,I missed that. Will go back!! Thanks :-)

@kevin-prehn Thank you very much :slight_smile:

22. Apr 2020 · 08:52 UTC

i like the audio

22. Apr 2020 · 08:52 UTC

Very nice game! Even a bit hardcore. Took me several attempts to get rid of every angry man in town) It would be nice to reduce their "bullets" speed so I can avoid them. And adding ending would be great too)

🎤 Sandra Jasionowska

22. Apr 2020 · 09:03 UTC

@n-feofentov The case is, the distance between you two has to be small for them to start attacking. The best way is keeping the distance and shooting before they approach you :v: Thank you for the feedback! I'll hope we'll manage to work more on this game when the whole LD Jam thing will finish. :heart:

22. Apr 2020 · 09:05 UTC

@adriankrawczyk thanks! I think I'm still pretty bad at it, so i'm so happy you like it.

22. Apr 2020 · 12:37 UTC

Awww i love the music and the pixel art! Really fun concept :) ♥

🎤 Sandra Jasionowska

22. Apr 2020 · 12:46 UTC

@maaya Thank you very much Maaya! We did our best in this short time :smile:

23. Apr 2020 · 17:33 UTC

Great music and cute game) It was fun) Great work!

23. Apr 2020 · 17:37 UTC

I really like graphics style, it's remind me old gameboy color games)

23. Apr 2020 · 17:54 UTC

The game feels very polished and the graphics made me feel nostalgic. Overall a good game.

The only point I could mention is that I would have liked the camera to be a little more zoomed out so you get a better overview of what's going on and where the enemies are.

23. Apr 2020 · 17:55 UTC

I did it! I spread the love :)! I liked the graphics a lot and the music complimented the atmosphere nicely. The idea is great. As my husband said "Hey, this game has a Free Love dispenser" :). That's really all you need to know ;).

I encountered some bugs with enemies during my gameplay. Poor angry bas... ekhm... people were getting stuck behind scenery all the time, trying to walk into house walls or into a tree trunk. ALso, the game didn't really end. I'm not sure if that's a bug or just no time to program an end screen.

WOW! Cool Pixel Art Game! The Music Is Wonderful and Pleasent, Cool Gameplay and Angry Men. There are Some Problems.
1. Player is pretty heavy To move.
2. It's A little stressful That the character Have To Look At The AngryMan To Shoot At him.

But It's Ok. The Game Is Really Cool!

@x-c Thank you :heart: Glad you liked it!

🎤 Sandra Jasionowska

23. Apr 2020 · 18:03 UTC

@taddl I agree with you. We could work more on the camera. I dreamed about making retro-style pixel art game since a few months :two_hearts:

🎤 Sandra Jasionowska

23. Apr 2020 · 18:06 UTC

@fabula-rasa As mentioned in the intro scene, Hippie wants to go to the Coffee Shop so at the end you have to find the Coffee Shop and enter :stuck_out_tongue: I guess we could point that out more clearly. (Maybe different colors of Coffee Shop or smth). I agree we could work on the pathfinding, but didn't have enough time for it, so they are just searching for the player and trying to approach him walking on a straight line :shrug:

I'm glad you liked it! I hope we'll manage to work on this more when this whole Ludum-Dare-thing will end :smile:

🎤 Sandra Jasionowska

23. Apr 2020 · 18:08 UTC

@noamraz I was thinking a lot about how we should make the shooting. Then, shooting in the direction where the mouse points didn't work, so there was only one way to finish the game (still don't know what happened).
Glad you liked it. I hope we'll make this game better in the future. Peace!

23. Apr 2020 · 18:35 UTC

@sandra-jasionowska Silly me! I completely forgot about the coffee shop!

🎤 Sandra Jasionowska

23. Apr 2020 · 18:57 UTC

@fabula-rasa np!

24. Apr 2020 · 12:36 UTC

I really liked the game! It was quite challenging, and a couple of times I got stuck between a wall and a couple enemies. The graphics are good too. Good job on your game!

@primalshadow Thanks! Art from this game looks great, so that's a compliment :heart:

24. Apr 2020 · 14:52 UTC

Nice idea! Took me actually multiple attempts to pass. It has that old school vibe. Definitely good one!

I "loved" em all. Did I beat the game?? haha. Nice sound. Did you record the sound of mobs by yourselves? Anyway nice game play.

🎤 Sandra Jasionowska

24. Apr 2020 · 17:55 UTC

@ancientpears you gotta enter the Coffee shop when you love them all 😏 anyways, congrats!

The sfx sounds are the great work of some people in the internet :stuck_out_tongue:

Really cool game. The artwork is awesome as well as the overall feel. Great job!

24. Apr 2020 · 23:22 UTC

A great game! I liked the color palette and the graphics in genreal. The idea is adorable. Few times the game didn't recognise me pressing E but it's a very small flaw.

24. Apr 2020 · 23:23 UTC

I like the art style for sure. It was actually quite challenging especially since the enemy projectiles are so fast but I did manage to complete it after a few tries.

Nice job!

25. Apr 2020 · 00:14 UTC

Your game is very cool, I love the narrative and the music.

25. Apr 2020 · 11:20 UTC

@stefan-jovanovic thanks, glad you you like it!

25. Apr 2020 · 11:21 UTC

@primum-ludum yeah, it's known issue, but we had no time to fix it :smirk:. Thanks for support.

25. Apr 2020 · 11:23 UTC

@magnusfurcifer yeah, sometimes it's hard to avoid these projectiles. Congratz you completed the game :smiley:

25. Apr 2020 · 11:25 UTC

@cadstor I'm so happy you said something positive about music. It's first time I managed to complete some track, so it really means a lot for me :smirk_cat: thanks

25. Apr 2020 · 23:55 UTC

Great art and fun music! I you are supposed to go to the coffee shop when you're done, it would be great to be reminded in the game when it's time :) Great job!

Great stuff, great music and great pixel art! 👏 Only smol problem was that the enemies kept getting stuck so it made it a little more challenging

🎤 Sandra Jasionowska

26. Apr 2020 · 11:31 UTC

@mister-morris-games no pathfinding is the case 😏😏 gotta work on this! Thanks for the feedback!

26. Apr 2020 · 19:34 UTC

So cute! Great work on the art and music. I love the mood, it's got that lighthearted feel!

27. Apr 2020 · 14:57 UTC

Love the cute art style and the overall mood! The music is really great too and I especially liked the way you had to go to the coffee shop to win... ;)

27. Apr 2020 · 17:21 UTC

It's fun to spread the love on those mad people, they deserved it :smile: I also felt it was well balanced, nice game!

27. Apr 2020 · 19:24 UTC

@arcayn I suppose there are not many people who have got the reference to the Coffee Shop :smirk:

🎤 Sandra Jasionowska

27. Apr 2020 · 19:24 UTC

@trucverte Cool! Some people say it's too hard. I would say, once you get how to win it's not really hard :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

27. Apr 2020 · 20:08 UTC

I love the sound when the others attack you, it's hilarious :)

Pretty fun game!! A bit hard to aim though

Other than that, great job!!
