Uns-table pumpkins by frederikja163

[raw]
made by frederikja163 for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

Press and hold on a plank to make the pumpkins stay on said plank. The longer you keep the pumpkins on the plank the more points you get. Can you beat the developer score? There might be a surprise message at the end if you do!

This game was made in C# using openGL and openAL. No engines were used. Art was gathered online, and credits are in the credits.md file on github.

It's hard to get to the developer score)

Really well done. Seems easy at first but it quickly ramps.

I have no business being here, but I did it. I coulda went higher but I started panicking at the end. Another score for people to beat

Congrats @PixelatorGadzy, i think you are the first person to beat the devscore legit. I tried for like 2 hours but i couldn't do it. I had to cheat in order to beat the devscore to test if the little mystery message even appeared correctly.

Well done, without an engine! Only the black text has some little white border, which is minor but ugly. Gameplay and concept is really fun, challenging and addicting. But i'm bad at this, didn't even come near the dev score. ;-)

Very simple and classic concept, but extremely challenging gameplay. I enjoyed it, but I wish there was more variety and polish

No game engine? That's really impressive, well done.

No, I can not beat your score. Why is this so hard? This game needs tilt controls. Solid math btw., considering you did this without a physics engine.

Really great job making this in such a short time without using an engine! Pretty simple concept but surprisingly challenging. I think I'll join with the other commenters and say the devscore is way too high to try to beat :) good job getting such a high score though, and on creating such an engaging game with such simple components!

Really impressive to have made something this quickly without an engine! It felt simple to grasp while also offering significant depth. neat concept

Nice concept. It was interesting how quickly the behaviour of the plank became less predictable as more pumpkins happened.

I'm impressed by the lack of engine use. Surprising depth for such a simple concept, and the mood was well served by your graphics selections. I had a weird case where I got a game over while still having all the pumpkins on the plank. I think what happened was it went off and then I swung the plank into a position to catch it.

It still seems like magic to me that there are people who can make a game without using an engine. It is a simple game that keeps you entertained for a while. I didn't get the score from the developers though.

Very simple and interesting way to present a game about balancing. It's insane to see a game is making without any game engine nowadays especially within only 3 days! GJ!
