LD46 — Keep it alive

Dimmer by Chaseplays 2020-04-22T08:20:22Z

I liked it! Art style is minimalistic, but cute. The music creates interesting mood :)

Tiger Zoo by headchant 2020-04-22T08:31:55Z

I liked the synergies between different cards and the choices that the game offers!

RoboJump by interface 2020-04-22T09:38:58Z

Interesting concept, but I had hard time understanding what is the goal. The first level does not have a door, does it? It took a while to understand that I can actually change levels :)

SIPHON by OldBlack 2020-04-22T15:08:01Z

Same error as @scowsh got on Mojave. Can't play :(

"Zen" Garden by tic 2020-04-22T15:20:02Z

Pretty fun, but it got too intense too fast for me :D

Keep the Streak Alive by tompudding 2020-04-21T19:39:20Z

Couldn't get it to run on Mac, unfortunately :( The packaged version failed with [82040] Error loading Python lib '/Users/zimina/Downloads/keep_the_streak_alive.app/Contents/MacOS/Python': dlopen: dlopen(/Users/zimina/Downloads/keep_the_streak_alive.app/Contents/MacOS/Python, 10): no suitable image found. Did find: /Users/zimina/Downloads/keep_the_streak_alive.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: code signature invalid for '/Users/zimina/Downloads/keep_the_streak_alive.app/Contents/MacOS/Python'

I've tried to run the game from sources, but pygame installation was failing for some reason and I didn't have time to debug it..

Super Rally by Fengol 2020-04-21T20:28:02Z

Had the same thing with controls as people above. Was really hard to time it right!

The HeartBit by Lucas Ferrantelli 2020-04-22T15:05:36Z

Well done game for two days!

Lay Down Your Roots by NotExplosive 2020-05-12T16:58:37Z

Super chill :) And I liked the graphical style a lot! Less emphasis on exploration as in my approach, but I liked the balancing game between two resources. I didn't realize from the very beginning that I can branch, so I ended up with tall and very plain plant in both directions.

Keep the Fire Alive by stmatn 2020-04-22T08:51:02Z

I really like the idea and the concept, but I had too much troubles understanding how controls work. I think I got my first proper coal income only on the fourth run. The button images are not very telling, maybe having some tooltips would have helped. I think there is a lot of potential, I feel one can spend a lot of time optimizing the delivery chains :)

Keith's Flint & Steel by johnnysix 2020-04-26T18:59:49Z

F* the fox! :)

Keep me alive by dick-claus 2020-04-28T20:50:17Z

I really enjoyed the sounds! Wish there was more than 3 levels though :)

Unbroken Shell by Garett Cooper 2020-04-22T09:28:47Z

Interesting idea, but I wished the difficulty was more gradual!

Omiga Daycare by Wheffle 2020-04-28T21:07:39Z

This game gets crazy late in the process! I liked that some Omigas went to sleep allowing to relax for some time. Great job!

Distant Messages by wrimo 2020-04-21T20:20:48Z

I like the loop as well! I wish there was more of the story :)

The Exigent Ecosystem by coatline 2020-04-21T20:05:43Z

Cute game. I actually liked the sounds and the atmosphere :) The concept is very interesting, but I think some information was missing to make conscious choices. Sometimes my foxes just would die without any bears around and I couldn't figure out why. Some way to compare different runs would cool too (like time). Great job!

Friendly Fire by Diego Escalante 2020-04-22T09:00:01Z

Cool game! I really liked the art and the death animation was very cool :) After a few minutes I feel that there is a lack of over-aching purpose as I felt that I was surviving just for the sake of surviving.

FL0W3R by oda 2020-04-21T21:06:32Z

I really liked the feel of the game. Seeing the flower appearing was very cool!

Bloody Fantastic by mikejzx 2020-04-22T09:03:51Z

Didn't work on mac, unfortunately :(

IGKNIGHT: Keeper of Flame by sacredbacon 2020-04-22T09:09:25Z

16.1! The speed really picks up after a slow start :) I was really surprised how well a mouse wheel control worked, nice implementation!

Grow! by alex457 2020-04-21T21:10:13Z

Yeah, balancing the game was kind of hard and i just left it there at some point.

Grow! by alex457 2020-04-23T12:08:06Z

@isiah-brighton thanks for the detailed feedback! I like your suggestion on letting water source dry out. I also had another solution in mind - increasing root upkeep when the plant is level-up. I thought it would be too punishing though.

Grow! by alex457 2020-04-30T08:13:14Z

@saering, @dgibso29, @notexplosive thanks a lot for the feedback! I wish I had more time to tweak the balance.

@notexplosive can you give a link to your submission? I'd love to see your take on plant growing :)

Leaning plates by thewrath 2020-04-22T08:05:33Z

I liked the cute artstyle :) My only problem was with the controls as the character kept sliding for far too long after I release the button. I think in this kind of game it would feel better to have tighter control. But it may be a personal preference. A well done game!

RoadRage! by Zonvoi 2020-04-28T20:57:25Z

When I realized that you can just hold Z to shoot with a fast speed, the game went to another level of fun! Well done!

Egg Rocket Unicorn by ubershmekel 2020-04-26T18:53:56Z

Really cute :) I liked that there is an actual story. Would be great to include more gameplay moments!

Keep It Alive Game by ZerohBeat 2020-04-22T09:32:11Z

congrats on getting it done! I liked that the level was revealed gradually, this introduced a short but effective tutorial.

MagicTrap by leroivi 2020-04-21T21:14:22Z

Simple but fun, this might work well on mobile!

Keep E.T Alive by Saviqq 2020-04-26T18:39:34Z

I like this game's sense of humor :)
