Usher by Nopad

made by Nopad for LD31 (JAM)

Inspired by handheld LCD games like the Game and Watch series, Usher tasks you with keeping a crowded movie theater satisfied. When people start texting during the movie and bothering those around them, it's your job to remind them to keep the movie a single-screen experience. But be careful not to block people's view!

I made a game similar to this screen type, but I didn't put so much detail into mine. I really liked it. However, when I lost and the customer got angry, the game froze. This might just be a problem with my computer because I'm running Linux, but if not, I hope that helps. :D

How do I restart the game after I lose? I really liked the Game & Watch idea Overall I could have liked it more if at least some rules/introductions where given at the begining.

Nice! So simple, yet fun.

Well, I don't really know what to do. The game comes to a moment when it makes an annoying sound and it seems I can't do anything else. A restart button will be great! I like this kind of old Game & Watch games, anyway, so the idea is cool ;)

Thanks for the response! I'm still new to this whole thing, so I didn't quite manage to get a proper restart button in order in 72 hours. Definitely a goal for next Ludum Dare!

Exellent job, you did a good job simulating the old LCD.

Loved the concept for it, specially given the theme of this jam.

However, after my first try I could not reset the game and it just kept on beeping, showing the angry "customer". After my second and third tries I noticed that it was not possible to reset the game in order to keep on playing.

Other than this, congrats! I found it very enjoyable :D
