Spooky Glitch by nicorm

[raw]
made by nicorm for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

Banner (1) (1).png

​On a spooky but quite boring night of October, our protagonist found herself bored at home without anything scary or fun to do.

She then decided to search in her basement for something that could entertain her. It was there where she found her old gameboy.

It was dusty but it still worked, once she turned it on it came fully to life.

It was there when the gameboy threw a curse upon our protagonist.

She had to play the glitchy yet scary games in the gameboy if she wanted to be freed from it…


Controls:

Baisc Movement with W, A, S, D or the arrow keys.

This game got me in the mood for Halloween! I'm impressed that you were able to build out so many minigames. Good work

Highscore: 16 :D
I like the graphics very much and I think this warioware style of microgames swapped every 10 secons is a really god fit for the theme. Music was pretty chill too. Maybe the minigames could have some twists - they seem pretty usual as they are now. Good work anyways!

The game was fun, I love Halloween.
But the arrow input aren't working on the mini-game with the pumpkin cauldron.
I had fun anyway :)

Nice art! The zombie platformer was so hard, but I like the pumpkin catch game. A lot of great little details here - esp. the pumpkin curser. The music was perfect :)

I like the Flappy Bat game. The parallax background is pretty, and I've always been a fan of bats so it's nice to play as one rather than them just being used as a generic spooky enemy.

Overall: Warioware mini game fest! We thought about doing it but the prospect of making more than 1 mini game in the time frame scared us off! You all pulled it off! Well done! High score 16

Fun: Fun to play! Some minigames had slipper-y or difficult to gauge controls (looking at you zombie game). Some moved a bit to fast but I get the inspiration and reason so the rushed feeling makes a lot of sense.

Innovation: You all dared to dream of making a ton of games for one LD and thus you did! Well done.

Theme: new game every 10 seconds :ballot_box_with_check:

Graphics: Consistent art style as far as I could gauge, well done!

Audio: Love the music!

Humor: Spooky season themed warioware!

Mood: Good! frantic, rushed, determined to score highly!

I absolutely love the heck out of this. The minigames are all fun, and it's this rapidfire switch from one genre to the next that makes it very engaging. The artwork is incredible, and I love how the music keeps the same melody, but swaps the instruments out with each game. Very cool touch!

I recorded myself playing so you can have even more feedback!

Yoo very nice game! I loved how the music changed between games :D Great amount of content! Making all these different mechanics and art in a jam is impressive. The only thing I was missing was sound effects. I think makes a huge difference especially in these arcade-style games. Art was really well made. And the menus are really cool! Mini-instructions when starting a new mini-game for the first time would have helped. Even just a picture of which controls to use. Took a couple tries to figure that out. Anyway, solid game and good amount of polish!

Really cool that there's so many minigames and each minigame was pretty fun. I like how the music changes between each minigame too and the controls for each minigame felt smooth. I liked the zombie the minigame the most it was pretty challenging trying to get all of the coins. Got me ready for halloween too! Nice job!

04. Oct 2022 · 15:09 UTC
@mrmaico Hi! At least in the programming side, each person chose the mini-game that they liked the most and do it. We first setted up the "change game" mechanic, and then put all the games together after finishing them.

Can't talk much about how the art team worked (we were so focused on programming hahah), but they did an incredible job too!

Such a fun experience it was, hope you all enjoyed :)

Cool game, with a lot of content ! I always find it tricky to do minigame compilations for jams, because it splits the work into a lot of different tasks, so you can't give the same polish to everything. I have seen a lot of teams do it because it seems easy to do, but fail because it actually requires a lot more work than making a single gameplay. But you did it pretty well, so well done !

I can't believe you managed to get all this done over the weekend. It's a very clever work of the theme and the music was awesome!
Nash
04. Oct 2022 · 17:51 UTC
I looked at your team and thought what that amount of people can get done during a weekend. Well, apparently multiple games. Games are simple but they are polished enough that each one of them could maybe be their own jam game. In some of them (especially the zombie platformer) controls are a bit wonky but still the overall quality is quite high which is impressive!

Good work!

I'm amazed at how many mini games you've made.
Although I wish I could spend more time in one before it switches over to the next.
But I guess that is the idea behind the game :smile:

Nicely done!

So you practically build 4 games, I get the idea of a spooky glitch and all to switch the game every 10 seconds
The games were pretty basic and really short, they always start in the beginning so you don't need more than 10 secs of gameplay.
Maybe next time focus on ONE game if you have such a big team? I would love to see what you guys can deliever if you work together and try to polish ONE game

Neat random mini game game. I liked some better than others. My favorite was the pumpkin/spider one. The bat one didn't give you enough time to understand I just immediately died. Also the zombie spawns offscreen and I was very confused at first. He also doesn't control well especially with the screen scrolling. I like the music and the Halloween art style. Good job.

05. Oct 2022 · 05:53 UTC
wow that's a lot of mini games for a jam, loved the concept, even though the mini games were like, common game ideas, having them in sequence made everything way more fun, having to change the gameplay on the spot. great work

Solid take on the mini-game genre. Could have used maybe some quick prompts explaining the controls at the beginning of each game, but aside from that it's a pleasant game. Good art too!

Really cool that you used Ludum Dare as an opportunity for a class project in your university. I cannot even imagine how hard it must be to coordinate so many people to make a game in this short amount of time. There were only 5 people on our game and I found it already quite difficult to assure everyone got tasks assigned and everything was working together correctly.

Your game has a lot of content and while there are so many minigames it still feels very coherent, which is very impressive, again, considering the large amount of people that worked on it.

I enjoyed all the mini games very much. I hope you had a lot of fun working on this game together with your peers.

The cursor that becomes a pumpkin, amazing :laughing: It reminded me of Wario Ware, very cool. It would be nice to add a timer to see how much time we have left before the next game! Well done to the whole team =D

What can be improved :
- Sounds : you can add sounds for click in the menu, jump, coin collection, shots... You can use sfxr to generate sounds quickly in during a Jam
- Only one music declined with variation in differents mini-games, it maintain coherence in the all game but with this short loop of 10s it's too much repetition for my taste and it create a boring feeling
- For the running game with the Zombi I have a small bug on my desktop I can only see the head off the zombi some part of the asset is out of the screen
- arrow keys doesn't work in the game of coin collection with the pumpkin

What works :
- Coherence of your universe through the different mini-games
- The main menu (it will be better if the games were integrated in the console screen to break the 4 wall)
- Polished graphics

What a great idea to enter Ludum Dare as Uni students! Well done on the effort you put into these minigames. I've been blown away to see minigame collections in this jam, since working on all those must have been really tricky, so well done.

Overall I liked your game, but I think there are a few areas where you can improve:
- The Music looping felt a little abrupt, especially when restarting the game. If you keep the music going, and ensure that it loops well, it will work even better.
- Some more info about what controls are required for each minigame would help beginner players adapt quickly to each game.
- Do try to reserve time to add sounds. They really do support feedback in the game. I know it's tricky (I didn't manage all the actions in my game), but if you can get the key ones (picking up coins, jumping), then it adds a lot to players enjoyment, and helping them learn what's happening.

Overall, good effort, and well done. I liked the theming of the games, and they connected well to each other. Lots of potential, keep up the great effort!

08. Oct 2022 · 12:36 UTC
Nice collection of minigames, I love how there's different music themes and the art is very nice to look at! I think the zombie one could be improved by making the character not move automatically, I first thought it was an auto-scroller like the witch one but even after understanding it, it was hard to line up jumps when you couldn't aim at a platform and stop moving when on top of it. And as some others have mentioned I'd be happy to have arrow keys as an option (don't worry, you're *far* from the only ones who don't include them, so I have become the complains-about-arrow-keys guy around here :D). Also great job coordinating such a large team, I know it's not easy!

Very nice jam game(s), the music and halloween theme really binded the different minigames together.
Great work!!

It took me a bit to get the controls (having a pumpkin cursor threw me off ^_^). I really liked the subtly different music for each of the games. It would have been nice to score points on the witch jumping game. It was very clever to go with a "glitch" theme, so any bugs in the game could be plausibly denied; for example I'm not sure if the parallax in the witch game was supposed to be messed up or not.

The ten second time limit meant I had to wait for the games to warm up a bit before getting into the action (that's good for some heavily reaction based games). It would have been nice if the games "prewarmed" -- simulated a few seconds before starting -- OR if each minigame saved it's state and you resumed from where you left off.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHqzC8k6URA

* Where there any mini-games that were cut?
* Is there a longer version of the background music (or did you wisely only write 10 second versions)?

Some more ideas for a polish pass:
- A longer music, which jumps between the different styles without starting over.
- Sound effect for firing in the "Galaxian" minigame.

Good job, I had fun playing this! (**My high score: 56**)

12. Oct 2022 · 18:28 UTC
Very nice idea and a unique take on the theme! Changing the games every 10 seconds keeps the player on their toes :grin:

The individual games are simple, and each one could use some more polish - some more player feedback, like damage animations, additional sound effects etc. But they are supposed to be glitchy after all :grin:
- In the witch game, the elements on the bottom (like gravestones) seem like they are in the foreground and should not be able to hurt you. Yet they do.
- In the zombie game, the floatiness of the jumping doesn't really go well with the speed of scrolling and takes a lot of getting used to.

Graphics are pleasant and the music track, even though short, is fitting and nice. The bat game was my favorite one :).

@hitchh1k3r Thanks a lot for recording a video playing our game, love to see people playing it! and about your questions:
1- yes they were 8 games at first but we realice we didn't have the time to finish all.
2- no, there isn't a longer version, because we needed to something good, but we didn't have the time to compose longer themes.
@fabula-rasa the witch game was the one we want to polish the most because it's the last one we implement, and we did see that everyone thinks the zombie game wasn't the one with the best feeling, so we are planning on polishing it
