Could play that penguin jumping game for hours. Interesting game - reminded me of my childhood, somehow (sad, I know). I REALLY wanted to turn on that lamp next to the TV, though. -Steffen
Oh man nostalgia! I really like the retro TV framework for a series of minigames, and having to futz with the rabbit ears was a perfect touch. If you get more time to work on this, a full-on adjustable-rabbit-ears minigame would be awesome!
I thought of this idea when I was trying to decide what to do with the theme, and thought, "Nah, that wouldn't work." You, sir, proved me wrong. Great job. I love the penguin too.
I enjoyed many of the little details of this. Clicking on the antenna, the rockhopper game, the ☃ weather channel, and so on. Nice graphics, great variety, good use of the theme.
This is great! Surfing the channels was pretty cool and then when I realized I could play some of them it kind of blew my mind. Doing those sick penguin dives! Also the weather channel was pretty funny! I know you didn't have the time but I really wanted more channels, there were so many! Good job!
Thanks for all the feedback everyone! Being my first LD, I wasn't expecting such a positive response! ^_^
@Blue Thumbs Gaming: That's such a good idea! Now I feel silly for not thinking of it!
@lycrashampoo: I was definitely thinking of that as a possibility, somthing like having different channels needing different positions, and maybe some hidden channels you could only find if the antenna was just right. Sadly, I didn't have time though...
This is very nice! The graphics style works very well to give the game a nice, monotonous, channel-surfing-afternoon kind of feel. I like the channel variety, and the interactive channels were neat; I especially liked the penguin one. This game lets me experience the joy of continuously changing the channel and finding that there is literally nothing on (after channel 25 at least). Also, this is a great interpretation of the theme.
I really liked the graphics on the TV. The RGB effect as well of the static seemed very authentic. The TV remote controls were very solid and seemed to function exactly as how a TV remote should. I also thought it was clever how a lot of the channels (especially the higher ones) had nothing on them. Very true to real life. The static and rabbit was a clever function too. Interesting concept and ideas, but I'm not sure if there's enough "game" here. The penguin game is fun, but a little bit unintuitive and grows old pretty quickly. Very good use of theme, graphics, and other ideas, but not enough "game" for my tastes.
Very clever. A win condition would be nice, or some form of progress, however 2 days isn't much so it doesn't matter. Love that you worked on little mini-games and the antennae was a great touch. Would be interesting to see on mobile. (Hell, maybe even use mobile as a remote, for giggles.) I hope you polish this, it's really good!
