Planet-0 by Dreschler

[raw]
made by Dreschler for LD35 (JAM)
You play with a baby alien that is trapped into a human spaceship! But the humans have no idea what you're capable of... NOT YET!

Unfortunatly, our game is not finished, but we'll keep working on it, and we'll post it on twitter once it's done.

-----------------
(For a better experience, use a gamepad :D)

KEYBOARD CONTROLS:
D - Go fowards;
A - Go backwards;
W - Jump;
Space + WASD - Teleport (press space button and then chose where to go)
E - Interact
F - Combeck to normal, when you're transformed
TAB - Pause game (or get help);

Thanks for playing our game!

ponywolf, okay! I'll try it out! I had some problems during the process of posting the game (too nervous I think haha), but I'll try to fix it. Thanks!

the walking speed could be increased a bit to progress faster and it is a bit confusing which control is used for which action. the graphics and story are really nice, great game! :)

Rey, thank you! Yeah, we had problems with the keyboard controls, that's why you would get a better experience using a gamepad :D but, we'll fix these problems soon. (And about his walking speed, I totally agree with you haha, I'll tell the programmers)

Nice game, really good art and some brutal animations! The music also fits nicely. The disguising mechanic is fun too. A bit short but took me a few attempts to avoid getting caught.

unit684 Thank you! Yeah, we "decided" to make just a sample of the game we wanna produce in the future haha Thanks for rating!

Instantly needing to restart just because you've been caught is a pet peeve mechanic of mine, and it's no better in this one. The movement is really clunky; why would I ever walk when I could sprint? Why did I need to get the eyeballs?

Oh, and I wouldn't waste any time on the writing. The mechanics needed polishing, and quite frankly the "story" was distracting and very, very poorly written. Would have been preferable to have nothing at all in that respect.

Graphics and audio are alright, but gameplay trumps all. Make that your focus.

Good game with a well made theme. The kill animations are a really cool addition and the stealth / disguise idea is an interesting take on the theme.

The enemies kill us really fast, if we could have a quick sing and a bit of time before they shoot us maybe we could have the time to react, by using the teleport for example.

Good stuff !

Pretty good, restarting the whole thing every time I messed up was sort of annoying but the game is quite nice overall!

Cute game, good graphics and animation, fuck the controls. They're not intuitive at all. Felt like I needed to have the cheat sheet on screen the whole time. Also, you should put a way to skip the shitty slow text crawl at the start of the game. If there is a way to skip, YOU SHOULD PUT IT ON SCREEN.

I like it, at a first time was a little difficult to understand the controller, but after a while it was easy to learn. Interesting references.

Cute, funny...I love the general premise, though it felt at times like the teleport ability was a little glitchy. I think maybe it would be wise to change it so you use the left stick to choose your direction, treating LT as a toggle for walk/teleport mode?

Also, I don't know if this is deliberate, but you do know that 4,700BC is in the ancient past, not the distant future, right? XD

I kept forgetting the controls, but I enjoyed the teleportation and mechanics! I like the part there you knock that object onto the scientist. Sneaking up on a guard and biting him is fun too! Well done!

Ryusui Woops! Can you believe everyone who tested the game let it pass? Thank you for that! haha You know, 3 days without sleeping, result in things like that hahaha. I'll fix that.

Excellent Idea, Only issue is that I warped into a wall and was stuck.

Cool game. Seems like a pretty complete experience too. I found a bug where if I leave the first room as the alien instead of the guard it will move to the next screen but my character won't be there so it soft locks the game.

Really liked the way you eat someone and assume their form. Good take on the theme. Excellent and clear graphics. Really nice job.

Nice artwork. The UI is polished. The "dancing" guards are fun to watch and so is the eating animation. The music goes well with the cartoonish game style.

Good job on the game! The concept was fun, the music was great, and it fit the theme perfectly! The visuals really fit the game, although at some points, the animation felt quite a bit choppy! Overall, incredible job!

Really nice game. Though i was stuck on the second room cause i accidentaly ate that guard. Also dont know if you intent this but you can jump and then teleport up which made me stuck on the second room on that bar. That said it was a really good game and i really liked the way you trasformed.The music in my opinion was not to relevean to the game but was really nice cause it was immersive. The tab to help was really cool cause in my own i would never had figured the controls out.Opinion aside it was a realy good entry.

This is awesome. You did an amazing job of building the sense of a big world and an adventure that's varied and interesting. Really impressive for such a short development time.

I had a lot of fun beating this, though it was frustrating to get reset all the way to the beginning when you die. Checkpoints would help a lot.

Great work!

I enjoyed the game. The controls feel a bit akward sometimes, but might be because I used keyboard. I also liked the graphics and audio, it really sets the mood.

Weird bug: in the first room in which we jump over blocks, if I teleport up, eat the guy, go through the right door, then back left, the game locks with a black screen.

Cool graphics, could not understand that you have to press space + ad to teleport at the exact same time. Also not azerty friendly :)

Was a bit too easy and the enemy AI could be a lot better but I like the concept and the teleporting/blinking ability was pretty cool to use.

I picked up my controller to play since I saw controller buttons on the menu. But then once you get in it tells you to press space to skip, it needs control consistency.
