Colony Chaos

I enjoyed the variety of gameplay. I also absolutely love the talking sounds. Really enjoyed the sound variety in this. Nice work! The variety of mini games defnitely made it feel quite fresh and fast paced.

This was really fun. I loved the variety of gameplay. The ship combat is probably the best part. The arcade feel of it all works really well and makes for a fun experience each time. I did have one issue where the sound of the crowd chasing me stayed on after I left their colony (was run out of town). So, for the rest of the session I could just hear the shouting sound over and over. Still, great work and a really good entry.

I love the "don't be rude" minigame 😂

But before that: you really need to explain things before players can get frustrated. Your game launches in full screen, and every time, I hit alt - enter before even noticing there's an intro text. I almost gave up on the game before seeing your responses talking about pressing "h" and the intro.
But even then, it's a game jam, people usually want to jump into different games, the most important information about your game should be hidden after a slowly scrolling wall of text! I always skip those! "Press H to show the controls" could just be in here in the game's description!
I also think you could have just made the worldmap have the help window by default at the start of each game, telling the players they can press H in each mini games to see what to do.
There's also a weird bug with the ship battles, in windowed I can see the reload thing, but not in fullscreen. But then if I use F to toggle fullscreen, it shows up!

I guess that's already a lot, but I really like the idea of having different minigames like that. And it's really too bad about the wrong audio function (which can be pretty funny at first), because the sounds are good. My main issue with the gameplay is that each minigame tends to be a little too long, especially the "run around" one. But overall it's still really good! It's just a shame I almost completely missed it because of how unclear it was at first.

Really goofy, really fun, very creative take on the theme! I really really like this. The minigames are all well implemented, and very unique from each other-- I do struggle with the voting minigame, though. It seems biased too far in your opponent's favor. I especially like the combat-- the way your Z and X buttons shoot both sideways directions is really fun. The sound thing is super annoying though. Other than that, no complaints!

This is honestly one of my favorites so far. The minigames are so delightfully goofy (particularly the one where you have to talk without interrupting anyone), and the voicework is hilarious! The pirate battles are fun, and kinda remind me of an old Atari 2600 game called Combat.

I do wish the minigames could be reattempted if you fail, or that the game would end if you've lost 4 times, as there's no point continuing after that. It would also be really helpful to have instructions shown before each minigame, as pausing to press H can lead to a quick death in the angry mob game.

It's a shame about the sound glitches (I, too, still use the obsolete sound_play/sound_stop functions by mistake, so I understand the struggle), but with those fixed and a little touching-up, you have something amazing here. I love it!

Nice! I hope the sound problem gets fixed soon! Also it would be nice if we could get a brief explanation of the controls before the minigame starts like mario party. Great game!

The game concept was fun and promising, but it felt like all of the mini games were a bit gimmicky and disconnected.

There is so much to this game! That's awesome! A bit confused on the controls and how to really play though, it's taken a lot of trial and error. So much depth though, love it.

I was a bit confused as to which side the ships would fire from. I had this exact same issue in my own game, I decided to have a slight shooting cone with image_alpha=0.2; to highlight where you could expect cannonballs to come from.

This game is pretty cool and innovative, but I just don't think it was executed quite right. Having to do many different tasks on the island in order to take it over is fun and could actually make for a pretty good finished product.

A good amount of interesting things in there!

First, it's really cool to have a big Island to navigate around! Having to do so while avoiding the pirate ships was nice, there is a degree of exploration that is very welcome!

The fights are interesting, it's good to use the ships property to attack with side cannons! However, the firing felt a bit disorienting because it's really difficult to tell which side you're supposed to shoot from. In the end, I ended up firing with both cannons everytime because it was easier. A good way to avoid the confusion is simply have the corresponding keys on the side of the boat so that I instantly can tell which button I need to press! On a side note, keep in mind keyboard are unequal. Some, like mine, have the x and z in very distant locations, so to use them i had my hand spread out on my keyboard. I wish people would stop using z (it's where your "y" is) and prefer the c key instead... I really like that the cannonballs make white smoke on impact, gives visual feedback while being sorta satisfying.

The pirate lair seems tough, I never could beat it, as the cannons shoot too fast imo, but it's supposed to be difficult!

The city mini games are a pretty good idea to change gameplay. It makes for an interesting take on micro-games!

The one where you gotta talk when others aren't is pretty ingenious! Loved that one's concept.

Wasn't fond of the riot one because, first THEY IMMEDIATELY RUSH AT YOU and the first time you play it, you don't have the time to realize what's happening before they gang up on you. I would suggesting making the help message appear whenever you encounter any mini game for the first time! it would avoid the bad surprise. Speaking of which, although the riot's idea is interesting, the fact that you lose whenever one touches you and that you gotta survive 30 seconds is a bit... much. I managed to win it but it felt a bit tedious to hold that for 30 seconds; kinda wished you wouldn't lose just by being touched once, but maybe like, if you were touched in quick successions by different people to really simulate the riot overwhelming you.

The voting one with the chairs I... never got anything out of this one. Can't win this one, can't figure out which chairs are better to touch to avoid losing

Also too bad for the sound issues :/

In any case, pretty innovative, had a good fun with it!

This is a great game! Very original

great fun, I like navigating and ship battles, the mobs were fun but the timer could be a burn to wait.
