infected by Notinatal

[raw]
made by Notinatal for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

your computer got mysteriously infected...

are you fast enough? are you patient enough? are you thinking clearly?

does this make any sense? what are you going to do now?

will you lose everything? and again? again?

again? every ten seconds? isn't it absurd?

yes? or no?

just do it.

Really awesome system you've built here. The restarting of the PC could maybe be a little faster but I love it. This game gives me BIG Pony Island vibes which is one of my favorite games. Great work.

@martenscedric sure but can I ask what is the reason? (also need to upload it which takes a while)

@beefsock Thank you, I really appreciate your feedback! I really thought about how long should the restart take and I settled on it not being so fast just to make some room for the player to think what they actually want to do in the next 10 seconds. I'm kinda sad I was being limited by the theme a little, because some longer periods of no restart can be healthy for the game.

Anyways I'll see whether I want to continue to work on this game - since my code this last day was super messy and it would be pretty annoying to optimize - but there are so many more ideas on this I've had in my mind...

Edit: I just remembered how I enjoyed your LD50 game! Definitely going to give your newest entry a try too :)

Good job I was really into the game. Without watching the video I understood what I had to do but 10 seconds is soooo short hahaha. Great job

@black-potion Thanks for playing :D

I was really aiming for making everything intuitive and try to add the ability to clear everything player might ask! I agree - 10 seconds is a short period of time - but it was the theme, hope it wasn't too frustrating xD

I'll probably work on this more while removing the ten second timer entirely and making it a full-fledged game with some story if I come up with more ideas...

yeah I'm sure that without the ten seconds and only the virus it will be perfect game to play on steam ;)

Good game concept! Unfortunatelly, it is too hard to understand what is happenening there. 10 seconds is too fast for that game. Maybe if you'll add a some timer and a player can increase the time by some actions (for example, by damaging an enemy) than it would be playing better
But graphics, animations and technical implementation looks very well - brillinat!
Nice work)

@krakadushka Thanks for the feedback :thumbsup:

I definitely agree, being kinda restricted by the theme is a little bad in this case because I really wanted to keep the ten seconds there for the whole game, but if I would have more free choices, I would definitely do as you suggested.

Speaking about technical implementation - thanks for the compliment :sweat_smile: - the last few hours were a bit hurried and it became kind of messy, but the fact you say it looks very good (I would say decent at most lol I can't make game art) means a lot to me. So thanks once more for the review!
