A Game about Nothing

really cool design and concept, love the game

Oh my god this is such a great project! So much fun while playing this!

Very nice! Kind of like the game "there is no game"

Things that could be improved:
- Voice acting (could be a bit more animated)
- Text (the text was not properly synced up, and the whole talking bit was a bit slow)

Features to consider:
- Choice boxes, so the player can customize their experience

Other than that, great game! Keep on making games! :smile:

Gosh. Got to admit that I was tensed up for a jump scare from the start. But a nice twist on the concept. And 6 hours? Jeez. I don't think I'd even written a camera controller in that time.

Very experimental and also an interesting take on the theme.

I'm stoked to be the first to comment and rate this game because it's such a gem! The mood and theme are on point. Great work with the voice over. Clever title. Great work!

Nice job. Really had me laughing.

I like the look of everything, good idea. I wish there was more glitchy gameplay!

That was a fun experience! Pretty fun meta game.

i was literally waiting xD

Ha! Very funny. Frog-fractions-like.

I think I may have triggered a fail state on the flappy-bird portion when my bird didn't hit anything, but it turned out it didn't matter anyway!

Hahaha nice game and I like what you did with the 6 hours! It looked good, nice CRT effect, good story and I enjoyed the 20 seconds of tetris. Flappy bird didn't really work for me and it kept stopping after the first pipe but maybe that was the point..
Nice one!

Well played. 😁👍
Something something about memory though...

Hey @lars-erik I know, though it happened only when I published it to the itch.io page. And since the Jam is over- I would do a post jam patch for that!

@taqoshaq @ciaranw Yes that was intentional- You had the survive for 10 seconds, the game glitches at about 7-8.

@sheepdog123 As I social introvert it was a very daunting task for me to even put my voice out there, But thanks for the feedback, I would try to open up a bit more from next time :D

and I'm glad all of had a great time. It makes me truly jump in joy!

An interesting take on the theme, and an interesting experience. Had a cool look, but it felt a bit slow at times. I also got the memory error at the end.

5 Stars All! GREAT GAME

@earnso Actually! You can fix bugs after the jam is over and update it. Then people are allowed to vote on the bugfix version. Just make sure to say what you changed ;)

@supergamersgames I'll keep that in mind thanks! I'm just way too tired rn. But I'll do it asap :D

Thanks for the tip!

Wow, I enjoyed that game, it has a lot of character. I would love to see more of this concept.

Perfect theme match ^^ Well done !

Really fun concept, played a game similar to this earlier and had a riot laughing! I thought this was also very entertaining. Would be cool to see more games pop in and out that were familiar. I was surprised how intuitively I just pressed the buttons that I needed to - to control the various games that were thrown at me.
Definitely a neat concept to bombard a player with all sorts of genres. I do think you could expand on this idea, and get away with a lot of fun content!
Thanks a lot! Keep working on this!
Stellar for only 6 hours of work!

Nice presentation, all the graphics stuff works really well. It's mabye a little slower for the total ammount of content. but it's a pretty good entry. congrats!

first game i'll be ~~rating~~ playing here in ludum dare so I'm not particularly sure about the rules, but don't we have a rule regarding derivative works?

EDIT: lol, turns out i didn't participate, so i cannot put actually put any rating

This concept was really well executed. You held my attention the entire time, and the graphics and audio were supported nicely by your production work. I thought the meta narrative was really original. Great job!

Nice

I like the idea! It makes me laugh! XD
Nice job!

Theme adaption was on point. Loved playing it. One thing bugged me was text and voice were out of sync.

Cool, reminded me of Stanley Parable! The experience overall was pretty unique. I think I would have liked it a lot more if the graphics were changed up a bit, maybe like a spoof of the originals. Good work!

interesting experience

I like the glitch art :)

Good take on the theme, definitely held my interest

A little slow with the dialogue, but overall a fun spin on the theme, and you made the best of what appears to be even less time than the rest of us had. Nice work.

Great game for only 6 hours of work. Damn!

👉 Things I liked about your submission:
- Theme adaption got me
- The glitchy / Trippy transitions

👉 Things that could be improved:
- Didnt like the voice acting

Keep on making games! If this can be made in 6 hours, I'm hyped to check what you can do the full 48 / 72 hours ;)

Make sure to go rate my submission as well!

Cool concept, I kept not playing it until the end (and right after that I got the out of memory warning on my browser :sweat_smile: ).

It gave me vibes of Pony Island and others.

Great job, more so considering it was a 6-hour entry. Congrats!

It was a good experience. I liked your interpretation of the theme. Screen visual effects are pretty cool. Audio editing and choice of songs and sounds are very good too. I would only choose a text font that best matches. And there are some sync issues with the text, but nothing that detracts from the experience. Very good game about nothing. Like!

kinda weird interpretation. It was funny when I realized it wasn't possible to lose in flappy birds.

fun

Nice work! I liked the narrative and how everything came together. Great music and art, and good sense of humour too :)

I believed you when you said you have nothing for this jam but i still played..and this is pretty good for 6hrs. Loved it.

I really liked the concept and the visual effects :) Very good experience for only 6 hours of work!

Haha, I liked this take on the theme. Nice work!

interesting take on the theme

Very well made, loved the voice acting and text. Reminded me of The Begginner's Guide. It's really easy to end up just being cliche, but by keeping the game short you kept the concept intriguing and fun. Congratulations!

Good entry, I liked that you took the effort to voice act the entire game. That said, the WebGL version ran out of memory right at the end. Although I didn't try it, I wonder what would have happened if I "lost" the tetris or flappy bird clone.

Loved the flappy bird "may have bugs" disclaimer xD

Nice twist on the theme! Cool entry. I liked the voice acting in the game. Short but good.

This was a clever use of the theme. I enjoyed the small games I got to play.

Great use of the theme! Pretty fun!

English is not the first language but does not know all the contents. But these attempts are very cool. It was a great challenge. I'd like to try this challenge.

“Impressive game, Very cool concepts. I left wishing that there is more. Had a lot of fun “

Loved it and very funny :)

You should make small continue after player press retry button for real easter egg ))

It's amazing what you were able to throw together in just 6 hours! It's clever and engaging and really funny in a very meta way!

Heeey, that was awesome! Congrats. I had a lot of fun! :D

So, where is my game?

Lovely use of a narrator. I included it in my Ludum Dare 45 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/ckBb1ej2CB8

Love the voice acting lol. 2 silly things to say though:

Review time: What I really like about this one, while one of the others that stresses on a game about nothing, you were able to make it entertaining, with the narrations, as well as the flickering graphics. Lol I went back and tried to beat the flappy bird, but you always cut it even when I pass through the pipe. smh bugs. :rofl:

It's even amazing how you were able to do it in 6 hours. WELL DONE!

Haha I love the meta-narrative here, and the visual effects are really neat. I always appreciate voice acting in a game jam, and I really appreciated the subtitles, since it can be hard for me to understand sometimes. I did run into a bug where as soon as the game ended it ran out of memory on the web build, but I guess that's perfect timing lol. Great work!

Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream! I played it today in the last few hours of voting :)

If you’d like to rewatch the playthrough, you can find it here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/501424047?t=2h36m11s

Hope you got some valuable feedback on your game and looking forward to seeing you next LD jam if I dont catch you before then! :D
