S.P.A.C.E., inc. by Team-on

made by Team-on for LD 42 (COMPO)

S.P.A.C.E., inc. steal all SPACES from keyboards. They build SPACEship with more free SPACE inside it. But, unfortunely, they took you with your SPACE too. Arm with SPACE and slash all S.P.A.C.E. minions! Your goal is ran as long as you can.

Controls: * Space - attack. Also D and →. * W - jump. Also ↑. * S - roll. Also ↓.

I am 15 and its my first published game! I really want to work as gamedev programmer. In fact this game develop in 11 hours. Firsty i have another idea, but I drop it on second day, cuz didnt know how to programm it(.

You can download Post Compo version on itch.io. I try to improve it every day and add some new features/fixes.

I pay attantion to every feedback and its really be great if you write one and say what can be improved in my game.

List of things that I working on here: https://github.com/Team-on/LD42/issues .

Cool and nice game !!!

13. Aug 2018 · 07:44 UTC

Graphics are cute

13. Aug 2018 · 07:48 UTC

Thanks, i really draw more than code.

13. Aug 2018 · 08:41 UTC

Cool game, really fast, think I'm too old.

13. Aug 2018 · 09:01 UTC

@ravenflame Thanks for your feedback! After "PLAY+RATE GAMES" stage I will add difficult settings.

13. Aug 2018 · 09:30 UTC

I really liked this one! simply but very funny! Too fast for my taste tough

13. Aug 2018 · 09:39 UTC

@sdrrv Thanks for your feedback! This game simple, cuz I spend one day for another game, but cant do it( So this one made for 11 hours.

13. Aug 2018 · 10:41 UTC

Fun! But a bit fast for me :smile:

Personally I would increase the SPACE (heh), between the different obstacles and make it so the different actions cannot be spammed. So it's more about timing and not speed.

Other than that, great job!

13. Aug 2018 · 10:53 UTC

@fryderider Ok, I will think about it.

13. Aug 2018 · 11:02 UTC

quite unique interpretation of the theme ^^ !

13. Aug 2018 · 11:38 UTC

fun game and really fast tho

13. Aug 2018 · 11:40 UTC

@tontonpizza Ahaha, its problem with my english. Firstly i understand it like "Running THROUGH spaces"). After this I see image and fix my translation, but return to this idea on second attempt.

13. Aug 2018 · 12:15 UTC

@dsthedragon Its now issue on github https://github.com/Team-on/LD42/issues/1 ) Ill made it when PLAY+RATE stage ends

It's really hard, but that's not a bad thing. I love that you run with a space bar xD

13. Aug 2018 · 12:34 UTC

@falk-bruskeland Thanks! I found one more game about spacebar https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/spacebar-man

13. Aug 2018 · 12:44 UTC

burtal! fun game though my scores left a lot to be desired.

13. Aug 2018 · 13:19 UTC

I found it to be a bit too unforgiving in your button inputs which made me hit obstacles I think I should have cleared. Otherwise a fun game.

13. Aug 2018 · 13:30 UTC

Sometimes controls feel unresponsive. In spite of this, It is really fun and hard game.

13. Aug 2018 · 13:34 UTC

@runner-alien, @cooldude38 Thank both of you for your feedback!

13. Aug 2018 · 13:52 UTC

@jakub-kazimierski Thanks for your feedback! I comment all code that can limit input, so its strange. Anyway I take look for this issue.

13. Aug 2018 · 14:09 UTC

Cool game but a but too rough. You should make an hectic music ! The game could be funnier. Plus, the theme is respected but the concept is not that innovative.

Beside that, that is a great entry :) Keep coding :)

13. Aug 2018 · 14:15 UTC

@mathiouza Thanks! I started learning how to use beepbox.co few hours ago(see it used in another game), so my next entry will contain music!

13. Aug 2018 · 15:22 UTC

Well made runner, great for a first game. I like the simplicity, maybe a bit difficult in the beginning. Somethings to improve: The visual and audio feedback is very important in these type of timeing games. I lack the sound when continuing a roll, for example if I press roll when I am already in a roll, I want to hear that my input was registered. Bonus point for the menu system you made :)

13. Aug 2018 · 18:03 UTC

Other than being too hard, it's actually fun!

14. Aug 2018 · 05:41 UTC

Cute little game with minimalist, yet efficient drawings. But damned, it is so tough right from the beginning !

14. Aug 2018 · 08:06 UTC

@erikkire Lol, I specially disable it) But it looks like great idea, so one more item in to-do list.

@whoisninja, @vfabien21 Thanks for your feedback! Its normal that this game hard.

14. Aug 2018 · 18:51 UTC

I think the game would be nice but I almost can't play. I click the start button and almost directly get hit.
But it seems any new play has different level design, like procedural map? so it was nice to try it anyway and would play it again cause.

14. Aug 2018 · 22:45 UTC

@newokmyne Thanks for your feedback! Look like a good idea to add *seed* and *safezone* options.

14. Aug 2018 · 23:05 UTC

Very cool game, reminds me of improved version of chromes no connection game :)
I like the literal approach to the theme, almost made something like that myself!

15. Aug 2018 · 07:44 UTC

A good game idea, the music should be improved. The graphics are good.
Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)

15. Aug 2018 · 10:00 UTC

@awix Already try your game) I think that I complete *Pre Alpha Build*(lul, whats wrong with name?), cuz it crush)
@rangoiv Looks like you found my source of inspiration.
Thank both of you for your feedback!

15. Aug 2018 · 13:28 UTC

Actually one of the funnier games I have played here! I like the randomness of the level and the sounds are pretty funny too! Good job and all the best for your dev career :)

15. Aug 2018 · 18:34 UTC

@glock00 Thank you!

17. Aug 2018 · 21:16 UTC

Simple and fun game) Good job!

23. Aug 2018 · 19:51 UTC

@n-feofentov Thanks!

23. Aug 2018 · 20:58 UTC

Good and hard game - loose on the theme but fun!

23. Aug 2018 · 22:10 UTC

@gilborn I prefer to name it `quite unique interpretation`)

23. Aug 2018 · 22:20 UTC

Hey I just played the game, its quite addictive actually. You did a very good job with audio feedback, I always knew what I have performed an action. The visual feedback could be improved tho. Despite the fact that I am also a programmer and I already respect that you have some character animation in there, different animations are not very distinctive, also some takes quite a while to prepare for the action to take place (rolling over takes a fraction of a second until the character rolls, during which I could already have collided with the wall). Enemies are now of different colors, but they are not really different in behaviors. If you don't plan to add more behaviors to them, consider making just one kind of enemy. All in all, a very promising entry with some level of addiction caused to players. Great job!

24. Aug 2018 · 03:41 UTC

Really basic concept, yet a lot of fun!

24. Aug 2018 · 13:05 UTC

It's a nice little game. I made my first game this jam as well, so I can totally relate. The jump animation wasn't very distinctive, but overall it's a small, fun game. Good job!

24. Aug 2018 · 20:01 UTC

Nice game but a bit repetitive over time (but nice game tho)

27. Aug 2018 · 22:14 UTC

Nice game, Love how everything is balanced!
Good luck, Don't forget to take a look at ours if you don't mind and see what it's like when we just focused on graphics in this game jam!

@nam-nguyen @lex @zahab-aq @bog13 Thank you for your feedback. I`ll try to rate your games tonight too. Its really fun and interesting to play other first-time-jammer game. So if you know some ftj(heh) games let me know about it too.
@rahim-pxr Are you really play my game?

29. Aug 2018 · 02:32 UTC

I know those 2 ftj, but I'm not sure they understood the rating system, going to talk to them

It reminds me of T-Rex Runner meets Flappy bird.

I like the solid game mechanics. You focused on making the challenges balanced, so after you playtest and get feedback you and add in graphics and polish.

Great MVP.

30. Aug 2018 · 13:52 UTC

Classic idea, interesting execution! The main character was kind of hard to see but once you got used to it the gameplay is very challenging! I think the bounds of all the objects were very tight, as well as the time for jumps and rolls, so you really had to be careful to press the buttons at the right time. Also, I like your take on the theme, it's very similar to mine ;) Would've really liked a full screen or bigger sized mode, such a tiny screen was a bit hard to play in.

30. Aug 2018 · 22:33 UTC

Funny graphics, great controlls and interesting idea, great entry!

02. Sep 2018 · 08:16 UTC

@saoi-games @bobismijnnaam @luis-giron Thank you for your feedback!

02. Sep 2018 · 08:35 UTC

@lex Both this games have good interpretation of the theme. Sad that developers didnt rate another games.

02. Sep 2018 · 11:45 UTC

Nice game

02. Sep 2018 · 17:28 UTC

@nehal Thanks!

03. Sep 2018 · 13:00 UTC

I liked the Graphics, and the Gameplay was fun, Nice Game. :thumbsup:
