Power Disney Princess Simulator 5000 by socapex

[raw]
made by socapex for LD34 (COMPO)
Gather fuzzy friends! Fight the boss! Fight the boss again!

This is my first LD, and I think I tried to bite a little too much. The end result actually works (!), but the cats are a bit buggy sometimes. Use a-d to move, spacebar to jump, and click on critters to get a contextual menu.

Everything grows! Except you ;)

Hope you enjoy o/

Would've loved to play it, sounds like it's really cool but it isn't working for me. I'm on Linux though and there might still be issues with the Unity web player and my distro. Couldn't get it to work after downloading either :(

I love the mood and cats of course. I also really enjoyed the art style!

It seems I shouldn't have updated to Unity5.3 before the comp, the webplayer doesn't seem to be updated :(

pparke: There is both a 32 & 64bit linux version... But the webplayer seems broken (even for me).

5you: chrome doesn't support the web players anymore. I tried exporting to webgl, but it doesn't work with dropbox and I had no more time to debug, sorry.

Cool atmosphere! The floating white boxes were a little confusing and frustrating when the cats got all stuck in them. I really liked the art and mood in this.

A fun idea, but it was kind of jittery and I'm not sure I was doing it right. Jeff still a bit buggy too

Ty for the positive comments!

It's absolutely buggy :/ I practically designed everything wrong (code-wise) and bugs appeared everywhere the last day. The game would've needed some major refactoring to fix some of the issues, but no time. Hopefully you can look over the flying cats ^_^

I would love to see this idea fleshed out more. The gameplay is lacking but the core idea is very interesting and cool. Good atmosphere, too.

I loved the blood! It spewed everywhere.

I'm curious if people are team cat or team bat now.

Beautiful pixel art and great concept! I'd love to see this polished up a bit (it's still pretty buggy). Great work and adorable cats =^*w*^=

Ok, so I made an account on itch, which accepts webgl content. The web version should now work on Chrome, on Linux and all :)

It is a strange thing, but atmospheric.
The theme is fully respected.
Good luck!

Really cool game, ended up with a huge army of animals. Interesting take on the theme. Good job!

I really enjoyed your game!
At first I was a bit confused, mostly because of the paper sprite covering the pet info.
You could continue this and polish a bit more to become a great game.

One of the more unique entries. I liked it. Enjoyed the simplicity of the artwork.

She wakes up but doesn't remember where from. Above her the sky is a pixelated tapestry of pinks and copied clouds. She hears the sound of a cat. Cute. And there a bird. Where they come from isn't important, they become her friends.

Pop! Another cat? Another Bird? but where from? No matter. They can be her friends to.

Pop! Pop! More? But... okay. Friends friends friends. Pop Pop Pop! They keep coming! What is this place and Why are the animals all so friendly? Wait? Look at that! They're clones!

Even the big ones are just copies of the little ones. They all look at her with the same smile. "You are our friend," they say in saccharine unison, "We will never leave you."

Unnerved she get up and backs away. One of the dogs (or was it a cat?) teleports one foot up in the air and floats back down towards her. Pop. the birds circle her and dive into the ground as if reality were a play thing. As if she were a play thing.

She runs and comes to a steep drop. A robot stands solemnly with open arms in the gulch below. IT will help her, she knows this.

NO! The "friends" attack it in a bloody kamikaze! The robot is tossed backwards as bird guts splatter across its chrome chest. "Robot is not our friend," say two cats with their entrails hanging loosely. "Only you are our friend. Our friend forever".

She tries to object but can't. She pulls down her scarf and feels sealed skin where lips should be. She has no mouth and must scream

...


FUN! I liked the soft music and the art style! It was relaxing to collect animals, and fun watching them to attack the robot. Obviously you wanted to get in more content, but it's a great start :D

Nice ambient tone and realistic bat AI. Gameplay is kinda simple but dude it's a game jam so. Awesome job! Also I enjoyed the selection disc!
