LD45 — Start with nothing (33)

Escape from the 4 dumb sorcellers by Artios 2019-10-12T20:02:14Z ♥ 2

This a beautiful game! The narration is excellent and gives me a kind of experience that I didn't know I needed until now. One criticism I have is that the tilty ball room legitimately gave me motion sickness and it took a while to recover. xD I also had issues jumping up onto ledges if I were too close, for example in the moving wall squish room.

Anyway, I loved it!

Question: Is the second room on the left meant to be completable? I got to the coin at the end and even dodged the final spikes, but I couldn't do anything after that.

Unlock Hero by Plazmaz 2019-10-12T04:11:13Z ♥ 2

This was fun! Seemed to be getting super hard until health regen, but then after that maybe a bit too easy as if I could go on forever my just letting the slimes lump on top of each other into a single blob and get over them.

Would be great to figure out a way to have infinite procedural upgrades also. :)

Rude Bear Refurbished by alexrose 2019-10-12T02:54:33Z ♥ 1

This is the funniest take on the theme I've seen. Mouse might have been a better option for pan on keyboard controls, but I was quite happy with a controller.

But yeah, this was hillarious. I'm going to have to go back and play more Rude Bear games in the saga now. xD

LD45 - Cards of Creation by Starblast 2019-10-11T19:47:39Z ♥ 0

Interesting little simulation. I was delighted when I first saw a building pop up.

Then I threw lots of disasters at it like a good evil deity.

Rekindling Of Iron by HKSpadez 2019-10-11T19:39:54Z ♥ 2

Very polished, beautiful, atmospheric and HARD. I'm not in the 10% who could beat the final boss... yet. *tries again*

Mr.Grind by iozsaygi 2019-10-09T23:04:43Z ♥ 1

A nice simple idle/clicker game.

Invasion by gwinnell 2019-10-09T15:06:31Z ♥ 1

Nice work man! Took me a minute to figure out how it worked but then I was away. Very satisfying victory animation of taking over the garden :D

From what I could tell it was always effectively one action for you and one action for the enemy? Would love to see how it plays with actions based on current size, or some other kind of development vs the enemies size.

Cell by SirRed 2019-10-09T01:02:28Z ♥ 1

The flying is super tricky! Cool soundtrack.

The Thrill of the Loan by TJMcDonald 2019-10-09T00:59:24Z ♥ 1

Had to play for all the endings. xD

StarLink Xpress by morrilet 2019-10-09T00:47:21Z ♥ 1

A minimap to see the meteors would be great. Kinda scary to wind up floating into the void of space. It's a neat idea. :)

Card Hero by Skyball 2019-10-08T16:09:18Z ♥ 2

I like the concept and I'm a fan of card collecting style games. The grid based controls were a little awkward, and didn't feel consistent with the non-grid movement of the enemies. As others mentioned, more contrast in the walls would be helpful. Also, the randomness of the fire was annoying sometimes when it just didn't go where I needed and then I'd have to wait. Was fun to collect everything :)

Egg Farm by kuviman 2019-10-08T14:16:57Z ♥ 1

Tricky but fun game! Classic LD sound effects. xD

Junker Derby by Wyatt 2019-10-07T21:06:57Z ♥ 3

Love the music!

Thanks for sharing on the stream! I got #1 in Mood yeah!

Thanks for sharing on the stream!

Outside the BOX by IcyLava 2019-10-07T19:12:02Z ♥ 1

Thanks for sharing on the stream! Sorry I use hacks on the last level somehow xD

Oh!My God by AlerHugues 2019-10-07T19:00:06Z ♥ 1

Thanks for sharing on the stream! Final score was 4100. Does this please the god?

Thanks for sharing on the stream!

Song of Creation by anttiviljami 2019-10-07T18:25:41Z ♥ 1

Thanks for bringing this to the stream! What an amazing concept. I'm super impressed. This is beautiful. I had trouble mapping my sounds exactly onto the consequences, but still managed to get to the end with a little uke song.

Nothing by Bocodillo 2019-10-07T18:12:29Z ♥ 1

Thanks for bringing it to the stream! Nice progression. I couldn't help but spacebar, though xD

FromNothing by Copito 2019-10-07T17:56:33Z ♥ 1

Thanks for letting me play on the stream! A more "from scratch" game than most and yet feeling quite solid!

The Defective Detective by Polyethyleneglykol 2019-10-07T17:48:38Z ♥ 1

Awesome game! Hard to believe this is your first. Thanks for letting me play on stream! :D

Vr.Punk by Ravenjm 2019-10-07T17:15:08Z ♥ 2

Worked for me. I had a hard time playing it as the window was so tiny and I couldn't find a way to fullscreen or enlarge. I did make it to the end, though (and what a funny and abrupt ending! xD)

Universe Inc. by Czorio 2019-10-07T16:51:18Z ♥ 0

Nice mood. Very eerie and disconcerting. I found the little glass ornament in one of the cubicles. Apparently it wasn't useful, but I had to check every cubicle. Wasn't going to do that with the desks, though!

The interaction cursor didn't seem well aligned to the torchlight so it took me a while to realise I could interact with the lever properly as I had tried clicking but slightly the wrong position a few times.

Nice cutscene at the end!

Keep up with fashion by Gustav Andersson 2019-10-07T16:32:15Z ♥ 2

These fashionists are very picky! They attack me just for wearing the wrong sock! Funny take on the theme. :)

Priest of RAGE by TheVideoGamester 2019-10-07T16:23:57Z ♥ 1

Cool concept, but pretty tough and grindy. I was craving a "grace period" for jumps to make it feel a little more responsive. The progression kept me playing quite a while, though. :D

itemless by NachtWitch 2019-10-07T08:11:55Z ♥ 0

I did feel it was a little slow to get going primarily due to how big and sparse the map is, but the need for progression kept me playing.

Fan The Flames by diaonic 2019-10-07T07:59:30Z ♥ 1

Very difficult game! I ended up focusing on just feeding the fire to get my best score.

I found the keyboard controls pretty tricky, so thanks for offering the controller option!

Bricklayer! by triplefox 2019-10-07T07:46:41Z ♥ 2

Thanks for bringing this to the stream! I'll be sure to have another go with the fixed controls and check out the later levels. :)

I have nothing. Take me home. by pokekarat 2019-10-07T07:45:43Z ♥ 1

The best strategy seems to be to quickly draw a line at the bottom with a wall either side, then draw a staircase to the triangle with plenty of time to think about it. :)

Nothing to Lose 🌍💥☄️👽 by Lawrence 2019-10-07T07:40:38Z ♥ 1

Thanks for bringing this game to the stream! :) Love the 2D cockpit! This was surprisingly very immersive. I had trouble figuring out how to dodge well, but maybe with a few more goes...

Ex Nihilo by agentparsec 2019-10-07T07:36:58Z ♥ 0

As you could probably tell from the stream, I really enjoyed this. Great experience with a seamless progression, and a very pure take on the theme.
