Really? I can run off the screen, the controls aren't great, and I have little idea what to do.

I feel like the character sprite could have been improved in a few easy ways, such as simply flipping horizontally when turning in the other direction.  All in all, it's a very basic game, and that's not a bad thing.  Also, telling the player the controls at the beginning would have been nice, even though they're not hard to figure out.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"elitegoliath","author_uid":"1054491","time":"2017-12-06T04:06:05Z","epoch":1512533165,"modified":1512533165,"text":"I thought the game was actually pretty fun, and the idea was very good.\n\nI thought that the art was appropriate, and the controls worked well. This doesn't hurt your rating, but I think using \"A\" and \"D\" along with the arrow keys would be great.\n\nThe only thing I saw the could have used work were the way the plates let you know how unstable they were. It wasn't easy to see, as they piled up, how much of a risk I was running on dropping them. It wasn't until I tried to spill the pile did I start seeing the wobbling, then it just went overboard. My only recommendation would be to make the scale of instability more known to the player.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"KingMatthew","author_uid":"1006937","time":"2017-12-06T04:09:44Z","epoch":1512533384,"modified":1512533384,"text":"Good Job!\nI think it can be improved if you had some music, some old-timey stuff.\nI didn't actually know you could destabilize the stack of plates.  Maybe I didn't get the stack high enough, but I had to try to get them to fall off.

To answer a few questions...\n\nYeah, it's a bit clunky, and certainly underbaked. I did not put near as much time as I could have into this, and kind of did it on a whim. Not excusing, explaining.\n\nI appreciate the critiques! As far as movement being stuttery, there are conditions (being hit by a knife, stepping on broken plates) that cause the character to be stunned, but I don't think I conveyed that well.","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld40\/60615-e62964bf68cf60ac99aead7a2d2b84f1.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/8ax2ow8k6bquvub\/sirthechina.zip?dl=0","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"44146","g_author":"1060607","g_event":"LD40","g_eventkey":"70","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"226662","g_title":"Sir, the China!","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"7","g_site2_node_id":"60615","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"60615","n_urlkey":"226662","n_parent":"49883","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/40\/sir-the-china","n_slug":"sir-the-china","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"60607","n_created":"1512179665","n_modified":"1512369618","n_version":"177414","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":60615,"parent":49883,"superparent":9,"author":60607,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2017-12-04T06:38:47Z","created":"2017-12-02T01:54:25Z","modified":"2017-12-04T06:40:18Z","version":177414,"slug":"sir-the-china","name":"Sir, the China!","body":"Sir, the China! is a game about catching falling plates, and dodging falling cutlery.
