Really fun having a lot of curses on yourself while still trying to control your tank and evading your enemy's shots. The art and the music are good too. The only thing I wish was handled better was motivating  the players to go and take more \"Ingredients\" (or curses) not just doing for the sake of testing the game. Still I can only congratulate you for your job on your game, great job and keep them coming!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"GeroX","author_uid":"1032898","time":"2017-12-27T03:16:13Z","epoch":1514344573,"modified":1514344573,"text":"It is a good game, but i did not have a second Player :slight_frown:","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"UmSingeloPugManco","author_uid":"1059011","time":"2017-12-27T03:35:27Z","epoch":1514345727,"modified":1514345844,"text":"L\u00d6VEd it.\n\nNice idea with the curses, maybe you could've done more than 8 and made them random on the start of each round.\n\nMy dear friend imagination and I really enjoyed playing through it.\n\nCongratz on those camera effects man!\n\nI'd really like to see a more worked version of this.

The effects of the curses are really cool and different.\nI wish there was a reason for me to pick up the curses, maybe the game could have points and the curses would work as a multiplier, I don't really know. \nAlso, maybe add an indicator for the amount of kills? (Maybe there is one and I didn't see it)\n\nOverall a good and funny game.

Interestingly, there aren't a whole lot of games that involve competition for negative items, despite that it's a pretty effective mechanic.\n\nThe music works well, although I could see it becoming repetitive at some point.\n\nThe graphical effects are all very effective. However, they legitimately made my head hurt a little -- and if that is a common symptom, perhaps the effects should be toned down a bit.\n\nI also wonder if perhaps the game would be benefited by a mechanic that let you drop your curses? Or maybe one that let you shoot them at the other player? Just ideas, as, again, I didn't have a second player to play with.\n\nReally, though, the only thing that I think would be particularly beneficial would be some sort of single-player mode or online mode, as those are both more convenient than local two-player splitscreen. Of course, they are also both significantly harder to implement.\n\nOverall, good job.","likes":1,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld40\/51475-9602f722d303eb23f5e1d79de6d7292f.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/ZirconCode\/LudumDare40","text":"Source (Github)"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1mhOXfJFDwvrW9cRxf3O-taVIe85sQ2IX\/view?usp=sharing","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1biMqDlAfoNZjLNq3vU81DKbeZglgCSsk\/view?usp=sharing","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1Um7bja7tAcT_mMdwEl0ToLNxWgrQPNDh\/view?usp=sharing","text":"Linux"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1Um7bja7tAcT_mMdwEl0ToLNxWgrQPNDh\/view?usp=sharing","text":"iOS"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1Um7bja7tAcT_mMdwEl0ToLNxWgrQPNDh\/view?usp=sharing","text":"Other (platform)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"37825","g_author":"1002253","g_event":"LD40","g_eventkey":"70","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"221258","g_title":"Ingredients of Insanity","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"583","g_commentcount":"13","g_site2_node_id":"51475","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"51475","n_urlkey":"221258","n_parent":"49883","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/40\/ingredients-of-insanity","n_slug":"ingredients-of-insanity","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"2253","n_created":"1510946509","n_modified":"1513270122","n_version":"208781","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":51475,"parent":49883,"superparent":9,"author":2253,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2017-12-04T16:09:49Z","created":"2017-11-17T19:21:49Z","modified":"2017-12-14T16:48:42Z","version":208781,"slug":"ingredients-of-insanity","name":"Ingredients of Insanity","body":"\nscreenshot: https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/SQ5DB33.png\ngif (with tab bar sometimes): https:\/\/imgur.com\/a\/7WQdV\n\nThis game was created with love by Simon (zirconcode) and Spargles for the LudumDare 40 (Jam).\n\n\nInstructions in game, press `esc` anytime to close the game =)\n\n!NOTE: The first player moves with ARROW KEYS, we forgot to put this in the instructions\n\nNote: This is a 2 player split screen game, however it's quite possible to play through a game yourself, it's still challenging =)\n\nEnjoy!\n\n\n\nHow to Run:\n======\n\n=> Download relevant and Unpack the .zip\n\n\nWindows: \n\n=> Run the IngredientsOfInsanity.exe!
