LD46 — Keep it alive

Substitute DJ by jayprog 2020-04-22T21:24:50Z

Really cool game! I like the concept of music card game. The graphics also looks nice here. I found a little issue with game balance here. Closer to the end of the game you don't even need to use cards, you can beat a level without using them. I would like to follow your progress if you continue updating it after the jam is over!

Polka Never Dies by A-Flat Miner Studios 2020-04-23T16:31:59Z

Very nice art style. Graphics and animation here look pretty awesome. I think controls here need more improvement. Took me a while to figure out how to play. Anyway, I really enjoyed playing it. Good Job

Seafood by fatPenguin 2020-04-23T23:30:26Z

Well done. I like this concept. Also graphics is pretty cool. Got an error in debug when accidentally brought more fishes than required. Overall a very nice game

PHYSICTORIA THE ULTIMATE BATTLE ARENA by simex 2020-04-23T20:42:03Z

The concept is so funny. Those meat dolls you make are just hilarious. However, there are some major problems with rigidbody physics. Had so much fun playing it! Good job!

Ritualist by Unx 2020-04-23T15:56:53Z

Pixel art is really nice! However, it needs a hotfix. I get a Game Over right after pushing restart button

Look After Larry by Untitled Studios 2020-04-22T21:44:47Z

It's so cute and funny. Sound effects are hilarious! I really enjoyed playing it. Great concept by the way

Say Aloe To My Little Friend by boyTurnedRobot 2020-04-22T23:11:59Z

It looks really polished! Really enjoyed playing this game. I like VFX and SFX here. I like how player can define a time of day by shadows. Overall, a very nice tiny game

Protect the Pumpkin by MegaMiley 2020-04-23T20:16:55Z

The graphics and mood are awesome! The environment seems to be so detailed. I think more VFX will be a big improvement. Overall, it is a really cool game. Well done!

Duck Crossing by HermesEs 2020-04-23T22:58:51Z

Awesome graphics for 3 days jam! It looks really nice. Reminds me of Untitled Goose Game

Untitled LD46 Game by DespediteErik 2020-04-22T21:31:17Z

I like your art style. I wish I could draw like you. Also music and sounds here hits just right. The concept is really funny. I think adding more VFX would make it better.

Sweet Resurrection by James Shipp 2020-04-23T23:15:02Z

Cute little game. Love it's graphics. Well done

Lifelink by IanLux 2020-04-23T16:13:02Z

I really like this concept. Could be a good game in the future. Also like the art style. I think, gameplay here should be more dynamic and fast-passing. Also SFX would be a great improvement. Looks pretty awesome! Enjoyed playing it to the end!

Life Light by Madbarron 2020-04-23T20:48:01Z

The concept is similar to my game. I like your art style and gameplay. Got a Don't Starve vibes. Really enjoyed playing it

The man who watches the time pass by TPZombie 2020-04-21T16:32:09Z

It's a really moody game with a good atmospheric setting. Didn't expect the clock to be that big. SFX and music are pretty nice. I didn't understand where should I go in the first level. I think just a little more graphics need to be added. Overall a very nice game

The Ultimate Chicken Toaster by LeBossMax2 2020-04-23T19:57:56Z

So funny and cute! Also like the idea. Art, SFX and music are awesome. Nice game

Coldman by NightJolt 2020-04-22T23:02:18Z

It is very cool survival game. There is a very dynamic gameplay for survival game. I like this concept. Main menu looks really cool. I really enjoyed playing it!

Silence, Please!!! by fiwon123 2020-04-23T15:52:39Z

This game is so cute and looks very nice polished! I like how you gradually destroy a melody while playing. Pixel art here is amazing! Really enjoyed playing it

The Last Guardian by civmaniac 2020-04-23T16:39:43Z

So cute and funny! The concept is really nice

Keep Him Alive by Convg 2020-04-22T21:50:14Z

It is very hardcore! Too hard for me. This concept can be very cool. Just keep working on it. Also try adding some sounds, it's very important

Biorunner by purenickery 2020-04-23T16:20:37Z

Art style and audio are super cool. Looks very polished. Also it is very hardcore. Enjoyed playing it

Deep Roots by TeaWhyDee 2020-04-21T17:26:19Z

I really like pixel art and animation here! It's also is quite funny. I think the game is a little too hard, didn't beat it. There is also a lack of response when you receive damage.

Amanita by Bastinus Rex 2020-04-23T23:06:40Z

That was awesome. 3d, animation, shaders everything looks so great. Really enjoyed playing it

The Priest and the Bandits by TheDestoryer 2020-04-23T16:25:18Z

That's a really cool concept

Ubergine by curleysam 2020-04-22T22:01:35Z

I like this concept. The game is so hard, didn't manage to beat it. Also it reminds me of old browser games, where you can play with your friend together on the same keyboard. Also, I think, players should be highlighted somehow, because you can easily loose the sight of them. Anyway, it is a very fun game and I enjoyed playing it

Firekeeper by Minrato2 2020-04-22T22:07:59Z

I like this game's art style and sound. I think the field of view should be wider, because even when I am going slowly it's hard to see what's there just in front of you. Anyway, that's a cool concept and I really enjoyed playing it.

Little Red Hood by RooftopDog 2020-04-21T19:20:17Z

The graphics looks super cohesive. I like this atmospheric setting. I really like it! The only issue is controls, it's not responsive enough. Really enjoyed playing it.

Keep It Charged by LaZZyDev72 2020-04-21T17:40:51Z

Looks so cool! I like this game's graphics and SFX. The game seems to be very responsive. However, isometric view puts a spoke in wheel. I was so hard to get used to it

Keep the flame alive (adventures of an arsonist) by Llewellyn and Michael 2020-04-22T20:42:00Z

I love visual style and level design. Looks very cute. Gameplay is also fun. I think movement can be improved, it can be smoother. Overall, it is a nice classic platformer

Spoon by Cadstor 2020-04-23T20:27:15Z

Cute and simple. As it mentioned before it is really similar to the Google Chrome dinosaur. Homemade sounds and music are cool

Frozen April by Alex Karev 2020-04-21T18:47:15Z

@lazzydev72 Thank you for your comment. I was going to do so, but didn't have enough free time. Actually there is a house mesh hidden under the map :sweat_smile:. I was going to add it, but didn't finish it before the end. I will add more stuff in future updates

Frozen April by Alex Karev 2020-04-23T18:02:26Z

@hermeses Finally someone has found it. Congratulations! :laughing:

Frozen April by Alex Karev 2020-04-24T23:44:14Z

@fatpenguin Yes, I did characters myself. I was keeping in mind character customization, but unfortunately I didn't implement this feature. Actually, I didn't paint any weight at all. I used procedural animation instead and all the meshes are controlled directly from code

Frozen April by Alex Karev 2020-04-26T16:16:34Z

@icxon My procedural animation is very simple. When I was modelling a character, I have made separate meshes for each part of body. I didn't have enough time to set everything properly, so I simply set their origins the way meshes will behave like bones when rotating. And then I used sin() function in code to make an animation for each single mesh. There is also a special coefficient for scale of the animation. It changes with players speed. That is why it looks smooth. Originally I wanted a footprint to appear when foot touches snow, but for saving some time, I simply made a timer node that spawns the footprint on timeout. There is a node that contains all the footprints, and it has a script that moves them down. When the footprint is under the ground, the parent node deletes it

Frozen April by Alex Karev 2020-04-26T16:21:15Z

@graal Yeah, sure, I can share a source code, but now it is a little too messy. I will publish it to the game's itch.io page when I clean it up and write some comments. Post-processing is done with Godot's built-in tools, so there is no code for post-processing.
