The first version of my game is completed and I'm pretty satisfied. =D
Uno The Mind Reader is a simple puzzle but fun game where you use your magical power to see peoples (a bit strange and varied) wishes beneath the surface!!!
I've managed to sneak in a losing condition, some bugfixes and more stuff in version 1.1.1 with over 2 hours to spare! =D
If you lose, you have to go back to the menu to be able to restart (by using R button) - sorry about that.
My declaration of basecode and dependencies (SDL 1.2 & SDLMixer): http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2014/04/25/in-for-ld29-3/
I added a link to msvcp110.dll, but it (among with a lot of other dlls you already should have) should be part of http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/confirmation.aspx?id=30679... at least that's what information I found when I googled...

Nice idea, it gets difficult very quickly. Is the framerate intended to be in the hundreds? As it is the game is very fast but it could be because it was balanced for a slower framerate. The customers only able to eat what is above them make the game quite unforgiving.
Lucariatias:
=/ too bad. Strange. Does it crash on other key presses? Does R work? (will actually start the game too).
Kragnir:
Yeah, the sprite needs to be above in a pretty small interval, and the code only compares the left border of the sprite compared to the left border and right border of the thought bubble, so it's a bit off...
Everything in the game should be frame independent, as you can see on my screenshot, I myself got a FPS on 310... Maybe the calculations are a bit off, but I don't think so. The game is meant to be fastpased, but it's a bit too hard maybe. Got harder at the very end as I implemented the losing condition...
Thx for feedback!
Surprisingly addictive but as noted above, really hard once you get going!
interesting little game. It wasn't particularly obvious from the description what to do at first, so it took a few moments for me to get going with it.
Marcellus: Try to install http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/confirmation.aspx?id=30679
The game as a whole is not fun, although if the gameplay was more refined and was explained better then I feel like it would be much better
It's an original idea and an interesting take on the theme, although I didn't find it very engaging.
It works well under wine-1.7.16 on Linux.
I love sounds x). I can't restart the game with R, it's a bit annoying. Cool interpretation.
Marcellus: strange. I really don't wanna include dll-files that should be part of some windows (add-on)components... but here my version is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5cnb31apxhmkuk0/msvcp110.dll
MSaul: Restart with R should only work while inside the menu... Didn't occur to me that you might wanna restart after losing the game as I implemented the restart button before the game was actually losable. R is so close to 4... Well. Try R inside of menu?
Cool mechanic, but that bird tweeting really gets on your nerves after a while haha
This became a lot more engaging than I thought it would =)
It would be good if there was something to make it clearer in which area an item needs to be in order to correspond to a certain customer. Still, this reminds me of my favourite mini-game in Backpacker 2. The fruit/fish sorting mini-game =D

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
