itch.io

Thanks! I view the monkeys running off and getting stuck as the partial "fail state" for the game that you have to try carefully to avoid using markers and such, and pausing when they start running off to catch them, but l see what you're saying!

I definitely agree with you about tooltips!

Hi, are you still looking for a coder? I also am considering joining this jam and am looking for an artist!

I didn't really understand what I was meant to do to get points in this one (maybe I need to understand Feng Shui more for it). But it was very fun to toss a bunch of furniture around and get points for it (wish IKEA offered this in their stores).

I like the difficulty of this game! I really struggled to get a handle on the spinning physics involved and enjoyed figuring it out a bit! I couldn't make it past the big asteroid level but I had fun!

It could have used a storyline to really emphasize the themes though, and provide motivation to the player!

I really enjoyed my time with this game! The narrative and gameplay worked together to create an experience of being in another world, where things don't quite make sense, but everyone expects you to roll with it anyway. The individual pieces are disjointed, but somehow feel compellingly similar. I want to play a full game that explores the "crazy yet mundane" theme I'm getting from this!

I struggled to understand the minigames at times, but I actually enjoyed that aspect. Completely failing to understand how to do the Casino minigame for long enough that the person stopped me from continuing with it was not an experience most games can provide (and I got a real kick out of it). I also completely messed up on sorting the laundry, so there are some pink shirts in the future I think...

This game really stands out in this jam for me as one of my favorites. Definitely a unique blend of gameplay, narrative, and art!

I got an error "Cannot find VL Gothic font" when I tried to run the game (though the font files are in the directory). I was able to play after manually installing the font to my machine. The art is very impressive and the story is quite charming.

game mechanics: Goes too fast, almost no asteroids so very low challenge . 6/10.  Art: good. 9/10.  sound: sounds were good. 8/10. Polish: The stars and planets were in the foreground, there's no menu or mute option, other than that it's good. 7/10.  Story: basic nondescript story but really cannot imagine any improvements. 7/10. overall 37/50

game mechanics: The ladders are kind of difficult to use, otherwise works well. 7/10.  art: Serves its purpose perfectly well, nothing notable to say about it. 8/10. sound: sounds and music were good. 8/10  polish: there was no option to adjust the sound volume,  sound didn't play when I started it once, some menu screens, but they are unfinished and would rather not have them there in that state. the game itself is otherwise very polished. 6/10. story: only made it to level three, but unless there's something at the end there's really no story to speak of.  3/10. overall 32/50.

Thanks for your help! What would be the best way to be able to run the same code either on my own machine or through itch.io, and have it work either way (if there is one)?

I get a cross origin request error when I try to use AJAX (XMLHttpRequest) locally on my machine. I would assume that it wouldn't work on itch.io either, Am I right about that? If so, what am I doing wrong?

I want to use text files to store JSON that I can  read from via my main index.html file, in the same directory within the zip file. I have been unable to find any general Javascript way to achieve this, so I'm wondering if anyone else has successfully done this for itch.io, and if so, how they did it. One can load entire scripts, so surely simply reading text is possible, right?

Is there a bug I'm unaware of? I am able to get No's. If you ask the same question to the same subject, you will get the same answer.

Here's what we made: https://charliechumbuck.itch.io/thevengefulorb

Can't seem to run it in my browser

Asks me to open a file when I run it and then doesn't work
