Hey, the movement controls are WSDA in my game, Doomsday. Sorry I forgot to put that in the info : ( It is my first Jam and I did not finish until 3AM my time (1 hour before the Jam ended).
if you look on the side of the game title it's a "made by dadio", so what you have played is his style for what I know.Well, I just played "Caught in the Loop". Wow, did I get caught in the loop. How do you get past the potatoe lol? I tried each of the three options.
I will give it a try, thanks.if you look on the side of the game title it's a "made by dadio", so what you have played is his style for what I know.
have you tested the cheat code: "Alt+F4" (that's what I used, when I found me trap in the same situation)
I'm not trying to curry any new votes But I wanted to mention that the "Time Loop" aspect of it (other than using a time machine to duplicate yourself) is that each round the game records the order in which you punch and block into a tactics resource. Then in the next round the new Dr. Ben is assigned those tactics and he plays them back faithfully using a bit of AI to make sure he's punching and blocking when appropriate to how you are behaving.Dr. Benjamin R.

Got up to four copies.
Game looks very nice; tutorial and controls seem fine; was difficult to figure out that you had to enter the time machine.
Time loop is there? or is it just increasing enemies. Concept seems fine. Presentation was lacking sound. Story not so much there.
@Cloaked Games Actually, that's twice as long as I expected anyone to play, lol! Definitely can't blame you. It's honestly a poor excuse for a game. It's hard to pump something out in just a few hours. If it happens again, I'll make a joke game instead of trying to make something 'serious'.Cloaked Games (from the voting topic) said:My highscore was 47. I only played for about 30 seconds, and I don't think you can blame me.

Yeah, sorry about the crashes. We were using Game Maker: Studio 2 Beta. I tried to crush as many bugs as I could, and this lead to scrapping a bunch of features in favor of submitting something playable. But there's something about restarting rooms/game that causes the runner to lose track of instance IDs and try and find an instance in a with() statement using a super high instance id. Fatal error would report instance ids like 107337358, even though restarting the room would wipe all instances and start afresh. Verified in debug. Odd bug that hurt our entry. Bummer.^^I wasn't sure of the replication of the jab-punch combo; kinda thought it was more my imagination
problem for me was your game crashed a lot (3 crash on 5 or 6 plays - and each time, without the GM error window, so no error message to report)
Hi, watched your video of my game, i noticed you chose 'Continue' both times when you tried opening my game and wanted to point out to you that if you haven't saved the game you cant load the game if it doesnt exist. (But i should of fool proofed that part of the code) But There are definatly errors in the game as submitted including a crash if you try to use the pick and if you go into the first room that has an npc in it.for some reason):

I was going to say, some people are taking liberty with download links to improved versions of games. That's a slippery slope. If that's allowed I'm going to post a link of my game with improved game play and finished story.It's a shame to see how few people are playing and voting on the games. Hopefully the weekend could change that.
@Misty To keep it fair I'll stick to the jam versions of all games
Way I see it, you already did the review, so's it don't matter might as well play the best version.It's a shame to see how few people are playing and voting on the games. Hopefully the weekend could change that.

I am personally PMing everyone that reviews my game and complains of the crash asking if they want a link to the fixed version. However, I always state that the patched version should not be considered for Jam purposes.I was going to say, some people are taking liberty with download links to improved versions of games.

Thanks for being fair.
I'm not pointing fingers at anybody and am actually okay with a minor bug being fixed if it dwarfs in proportion to the content someone created. I don't want to see anyone waste three days of work on a bug. But if we start allowing music to be added or any content that should have been fit in the three days that we were all allotted then red flags start to go up, at least for some of us I'm sure. Misty has stated since that post that they don't want it to affect the review and that's fine by me as well. But it wasn't that clear with their first post of what they were asking and I wanted to thank ghandpivot for thinking of everyone else too.I am personally PMing everyone that reviews my game and complains of the crash asking if they want a link to the fixed version.

I know you weren't, I was just pointing out that personally I had been giving links to an improved version of my game, albeit specifically stating that it should not be considered as the Jam entryI'm not pointing fingers at anybody
I agree. This is my first Jam, but I've already made note of this myself as a flawed way I've done the reviews so far. Next time I'm going to put them all up at once and be done with it.Hafta agree with earlier comments... it's kinda unfair to play "updated" versions before the review period is over, as they have potential to unfairly skew the votes/winner results.
Fixing major crash bugs is "ok" - adding more content is not. Imo.
(For the record if I somehow manage to get the time to review/vote, it will be based soley on what's in the Jam zip).
An another topic:
Is there any chance that you reviewer people could make it clearer in your posts which games you have reviewed so far?
ie:
Games reviwed so far: x,x,x
followed by
*spoiler tagged* Game reviews
This way everyone can easily see from a quick browse where their game has been reviewed (rather than being forced to dig through spoiler tags again & again for updates).
Just a thought.
What if a person does not have the time to play, rate and review all entries?I just find it disrespectful to exclude other peoples work in the evaluation. I would never do that.
I understand that case but right now, how many days left before voting ends? Its a bunch of days. You cant say you have no time now. One does their best to cover up the most as possible.What if a person does not have the time to play, rate and review all entries?
I'm not stating for myself, but I'm sure that it may apply to some people. I for one wanted to review 3 games a day, however due to work I didn't manage to keep up these last few days. However tomorrow I'll probably have a break and try to advance as much as possible.I understand that case but right now, how many days left before voting ends? Its a bunch of days.

Just for the record, I review and rank all games I play, but I don't necessarily have the possibility to play all games.Alright but just for the record, I prefer to give opportunity to those entries not mentioned. Participants worked 3 days to submit something, hoping to know what their effort pay off. Suddenly, nobody say a word or mention any posible position it stands. It is almost as if it does not exist. I hate to be that kind of person who would play all the games and only rank 10 of them or just put up the top 3 only. Even if it is for fun, its good to give a word or let them know what you think of their entry, help them understand their position as a dev. Learn from their experience.
Ok. Its hard to tell if a person excluded games just because they are too busy to participate. This jam i got too skeptical.Just for the record, I review and rank all games I play, but I don't necessarily have the possibility to play all games.
IMHO you should be more fair with reviewers^^Ok. Its hard to tell if a person excluded games just because they are too busy to participate. This jam i got too skeptical.
