Game done during the Ludum Dare Jam 44 (Theme : Your life is currency), in which you are a prison supervisor and you must maintain Vladimir Pouchkov awake, eventually alive, otherwise he won't give you the needed information he knows. Your weapons ? Coffee, a bucket filled with water, your own voice to yell at him and other crazy stuff you'll discover during the game. Good luck !
To be able to play, you need a mic and a Xbox controller.
Controls : - Mic = Yell at Vladimir - Button A = Smash / Calm down Vladimir - Button B = Press / Give him coffee - Button X = Press / Drop water on him - Trigger LT = Press / Put on some music - Trigger RT = Maintain / Activate the microphone - Left Joystick = Rotate / Recharge the battery
Liked the different controls, unfortunatelly i couldn't use the microphone, but i missed some more action, and didn't quite understood the LT button function
Unfortunately could not try it because it only has controller support :( but the game looks really interesting as far as i can tell from the pictures + the use of mic :) So you get 5 stars everywhere frome me i guess :D
Things I didn't like: - The game crashed when I accidentaly clicked to submit a score without putting a name on the game over screen. - I'm using a Playstation 3 controller, so a tutorial image showing the xbox controller would help me map the buttons mentally, like X being the square on my controller - One of the things that I've learned searching for how to do tutorials is: "Teach gradually through experience". The game starts with all the mechanics already there, it overwhelms the player. I had to lost several times to understand what each thing did.
Things I liked: - The recharge mechanic is very interesting! It makes you use one hand to spin the stick so you can't do other things, it's smart. - The mic mechanic is cool too and it fits the theme. - The pixel art is simple but well done! - If I undestood correctly, that ranking in the game over screen is updated online? That's awesome!
