Hellish Military Service by Anton4ik-dev

[raw]
made by Anton4ik-dev for Ludum Dare 55 (JAM)

Hellish Military Service is a game in which you have to check the demons that come to you by comparing their readings with passports. You should check items such as: name, gender, photo, from which circle of hell and what disease he has. You need to collect 13 demons that match all the parameters, and you have 3 lives that will be spent if you incorrectly checked the demon. The game has a list of diseases due to which the demon cannot be tested and diseases that are being tested. Each circle has its own designation in the form of patterns, the patterns go from top to bottom. For example, the first circle of hell is the topmost pattern in the list of patterns!ludum.png

I liked the game tho it bacame a little repetitive at the end. Maybe a timer would have been nice to put a little more pressure on the player ?

But anyway, good submission overall!

I love games like this so naturally I enjoyed your game a lot!
I do have to agree with the previous comment but I like the fact that there isn't a timer and I could look at everything without being stressed

The concept is really good, and i liked that

Art is fine, theme was matched

But there are some problems: I really need tutorial to understand what i need to do, and fonts in games are so hard to read

But it's okay for right now, thanks!

I am very confused on what makes people fit or not or when to kill. Game just needs a tutorial and clearer typeface for the fonts. The character art is impressive. Is it randomized because it fit together really well!

I really like the music/animation/gameplay. I am, although, still confused on how to play.. even after reading your description. Are they lying if the pattern doesn't match their circle of hell? "The game has a list of diseases due to which the demon cannot be tested and diseases that are being tested." There is only one disease list. Is that the good list, as in "fit" or bad list as in "unfit"? I think it's confusing that the instructions are worded differently than in the game. Maybe if it said "if the demon has a disease on this list, it is unfit" would be clearer... but I am still not sure if that is right. Again, I think the game is fantastic. I love the idea and the art, its just the explanation thats keeping me from playing it to its full potential. Amazing job.

Cute art assets. I like the little passports and the circles of hell sheet. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand how to play. It took me a minute to figure out how to summon the demons, but even when I did, I couldn't figure out what the choices meant, or how to decide.

Beautiful game. I felt big sense of responsibility in my role, which was intriguing.

Really nice game, but it feels like you have to have played paper please before to understand quickly how to play it ! It's funny because my team and I had a similar idea during our brainstorming at the beginning !

I really liked this game, but sometimes couldn't tell why I was being penalized when I thought I had the answer right.

I liked the game but it should have had instructions. It took a few tries but I did figure it out. If they have a disease that is listed on the clipboard, they are unfit and you use the blue stamp. But if their appearance or any detail on the passport is incorrect, they are lying and you use the red stamp. If everything is perfect then they are fit and you use the green stamp. That's pretty much the only info that you need to play the game, but we didn't get it.
The font was a bit difficult to read so I can't imagine what it was like for people with a smaller monitor or dyslexia or something.
With all that said, I really did enjoy the game. It was fun after getting the hang of it and I loved the art and sound. Good work!

Nice one, we like em "papers please" :D I figured out after some time, that deseases from the list would mean that the demon is "unfit" to be drafted to the army. Well done with character design and music!

Great great game. Very cool. I like the music and the paper please style. I would definitively recommend it. A lot of people in hell are lying, is it surprising ? :laughing:

Characters art looks yummy but the font is really hard to read and the game takes a few tries to understand whats going on, a tutorial is definitely needed. Also some feedback on what I got wrong would be cool. I had a lot of fun playing the game! Good Job :D

Great little game! At first had trouble figuring out what to look for, but got it quickly enough. Has some potential to expand if you ever have mood for that.

I like an art and the gameplay that reminds me Papers Please game, but I were very confused at how I can see a difference and find a wrong demon. Its hard to understand for me, but overall I liked the game because I tried hard to win)
