LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Save Gogo by MAT4DOR 2022-04-04T15:36:03Z

Very interesting concept but feels like a mobile app type of thing where I have to set reminders to keep feeding him! sounds like work :( I do really love the concept and I think something like this could easily go viral. Best of luck with it and keep making stuff! Awesome job

An Inevitable Race by jharler 2022-04-04T19:40:04Z

Love the visuals and sound effects here, gameplay was okay and I understand it was focused on the storyline but got a bit stale towards the end. Great submission overall as it's really polished for 48 hours

Gaia by kuro 2022-04-04T15:11:06Z

Theme is great. I wish I would've understood a bit more about how fast my powers would go away before they needed to cooldown, definitely more of an 'experience' than a game which I think is pretty cool, love to see the different projects people can create. I'm personally not a fan of the humor but I imagine it'll be a hit for many others. Well done to get what looks to be a pretty polished game given the time constraints!

CounterSplit by NekuSoul 2022-04-04T20:17:55Z

Simple idea but infuriating! i wish I could find some different strategy but I always seem to die at a similar point, would be cool to get some timer slowdown effect as it gets closer to 13? also i think sometimes the balls get off screen and are impossible to slice but maybe it was just on web. Cool idea and works well!

Last Minute On Earth by Wheffle 2022-04-04T20:24:54Z

fun game as others mentioned, simple but interesting enough to get your pulse up. Great job, i made it 12+ minutes

Cool simulation, not really sure what I'm supposed to be doing other than watching it, but watching it is pretty fun, would be cool to add different colors for each life if that even makes sense, could be trippy and cool :)

Outside the Town of Malbork by kemp 2022-04-04T19:31:12Z

wow i'm not sure what I just played but I loved it. so weird and interesting, I'm also in the camp of not usually liking visual novels but this was cool and I have no idea why. Great job

Parachute by JulienLussiez 2022-04-04T19:05:24Z

@remco it's a P not an F ;)

graphics are cool, music / sound effects are cool, but the gameplay is pretty minimal. great job with the artistic side of things

ENTROPY by LarsDu 2022-04-04T19:16:01Z

fun game that's pretty easy to understand but easy to get yourself into trouble, if you're not careful and sometimes even if you are! finger drumming was funny but almost took away from the enviroment, would've loved some technoy type music for this one

Musical Thrones by DecadeDecaf 2022-04-04T17:20:30Z

really fun mini games, and music! enjoyed this one a lot. A few comments: 1. first play through it took me awhile to understand that i had to use the arrow keys for the symbol choosing, i was clicking on them 2. symbols seem to give very little time on the 3rd choice 3. typing words didnt need to be typed in order

great job!

Extremely Exteme Sports by kuviman 2022-04-04T18:27:51Z

Loved it, controls are fun, great to play against others, art is simple but funny, music is catchy but not super on theme if i'm honest. maybe some items on the map would be interesting, speed boost, shield, weapon etc. Great job adding multiplayer!

Can I Win as a Lv. 1 Slime? -underdog rising- by johjoh 2022-04-04T19:48:02Z

awesome graphics and music, funny premise. I keep dying and I ran out of energy to keep collecting flowers :(

Infection by visualGMQ 2022-04-05T21:48:30Z

Pretty fun game and I initially thought it was too easy until i noticed i was out of bullets! I think I got lucky on the path to win but it was fun. Loved the art but I couldn't tell the difference between alcohol and penicillin, is there any difference? Also I couldn't figure out how to restart the game. Great job!

The Pit by Itskdog 2022-04-05T21:29:36Z

Cool concept. a few comments: 1. it's frustrating to not be able to move left and right very fast 2. I wish i could queue up cards before the fall starts 3. Looks like a UI bug where it will always 'deal' 5 cards at the start? or at least one extra one.

Great job! it's a really polished game for 48 hours and I think scaling the replay with the same deck amount would fix the infinite possibilities

Dire Darkness by jsmitq 2022-04-05T21:39:17Z

Great job finishing the game! A few comments: 1. It felt a bit too easy to stay alive, i was surrounded by zombies and my health bar was barely going down 2. No reloading made the shooting less stressful than typical horde games 3. Would be cool to add some music or different characters moving at different speeds 4. a pretty simple shooter but still fun to get some headshots! Could be fun to track kills somewhere on the screen as well.

Don't Melt by jogy34 2022-04-04T20:14:44Z

Agree that the camera should be inverted by default, had to change that. I got right to buying the flight tickets twice only to get hit by a car right before! well designed, could use some music though!

Quackenfarm by InitialPosition 2022-04-04T15:25:53Z

Awesome game, I love the duck! Art is really cool music makes me happy, the font is over the top and makes it hard to read certain things. It seems like a super interesting concept with lots of different strategies, really loved this one. Great job!

Captain Starforce by extar 2022-04-04T18:36:17Z

Fun and interesting take on a classic that's already great. Few comments:

1. would love to have some indication of where the base is on the map, i got filled up with crew and got frustrated trying to find my way back home 2. initially the graphics are pretty tough, hard to tell an asteroid compared to the background 3. music is awesome 4. I'm not sure what the top bar was supposed to be :( maybe i didn't get that far?

Captain Starforce by extar 2022-04-04T19:06:44Z

@extar not sure, maybe. but i found it from it being rated highly on the ludum dare site, just going there to review games that are on the top :)

Ludum Dare by She Wrote 2022-04-04T17:34:56Z

I agree with William that the game would benefit from a guide of how to play inside of the game. Also opening the game was a bit shocking as the colors were very bright. Very interesting design and cool interpretation of the theme!

Frantic Alchemist by spadekHemoglobiny 2022-04-04T19:21:20Z

Graphics are awesome, gameplay is a bit simple, I also think some sound effects would make it go a long way.

Nature's Delay by xCarl 2022-04-04T17:04:08Z

this was really fun! I wish there was something else to do while i was waiting for the refreshes, maybe clicking on individual people to get rid of them, anyway it's super fun and tense waiting for the weapons to cooldown, great job with the sound effects as well

Global Eggstermination by owca 2022-04-04T18:57:57Z

Great little horde game, love the characters a lot, music is good, seems like there's a dominant strategy to keep looping around but overall nice job, had fun with this one :)

Pooh-Pooh by d00kl1 2022-04-04T15:56:04Z

Funny idea, the music is catchy, I wish there was some scoring system so I knew what my 'best' was, I guess it's number of screens? Anyway very cool for the theme!

Stupidly Inevitable by 3ggplant 2022-04-04T16:02:36Z

Very difficult but signs of real progress. Great work for only working in Unity for a few weeks and keep it up. Animations are really cool and the Health bar work is great too. Stay ambitious and at the same time try to scope out a reasonable sized game for LD 51 :)

Way before death by Arfilish 2022-04-04T15:19:08Z

Graphics and music are really fun, Theres a typo in the controls where it says WA and it should be WS. The game feels too difficult, I got past the second level but the 3rd feels impossible to me which is a bit frustrating because it's fun to play and i'd love to see the other levels. Movement is slightly weird to me, i think it might be easier with a typical WASD movement with ignoring the rotating/aiming, just my 2 cents. Great job! it is really fun!

1868 by Andy Beers 2022-04-04T14:41:55Z

Thanks @mook. Nice suggestion, Yeah the speed is intended to increase as you keep getting more voters to make it harder, it's supposed to encourage players to go back and forth between voting and getting more voters (the speed will slow down over time, so it's better to vote for awhile when it's too fast to get more voters!)

1868 by Andy Beers 2022-04-04T16:06:14Z

Thanks @quinn-patrick, yeah I initially had it where aiming for voting was more physics based but it was frustrating losing all your voters quickly. Noted on the keys :( sorry for the frustration, color based would be easier, but i'd have to play with the balance to not make it too easy ;)

Thanks @fifut, another 'vote' for difficult key pressing

1868 by Andy Beers 2022-04-04T17:21:33Z

thanks so much for trying it out @m11 :)

1868 by Andy Beers 2022-04-05T18:22:07Z

@ollie-d ah spamming probably does work well, nice find!

@purpledartfrog glad you enjoyed, thanks for playing :)

@temposparkz ah i ran into that a couple of times but i think it fixes it when you go back and forth to the voting hall / courthouse.

@darandin yeah the balance isn't great but i wanted to make sure it at least wasn't impossible for the jam. Thanks so much for playing!

2D Platformer by Noobman64 2022-04-04T18:46:42Z

Awesome job finishing this project, a pretty basic platformer but they are always fun in my eyes, also nice touch adding the map after losing. comments:

1. Try locking the z rotation of the character so it doesnt tilt over (Freeze constraints Z rotation) 2. the one moving platform on the right seems to move through the character sometimes, either its just moving too fast or you can try to update the character collision handling to be continuous instead of discrete on the Rigidbody component of the player 3. Try playing around with some music / sound fx! it's super fun and adds a lot to games

Drater by lomstfer 2022-04-04T15:39:28Z

Unfortunately I'm having issues running the game, My machine refuses to open the game as it is very confident it's a virus. let me know if this gets fixed, based on the art, I'd love to try it!

Drater by lomstfer 2022-04-04T16:59:25Z

@lomstfer maybe it's just chrome? i'm not sure, now it won't even download for me drater.JPG

Bombthrow by LakeDev 2022-04-04T18:22:28Z

Really fun game with good level design for the time constraints. Controls felt pretty nice too overall. Missed some background music and maybe could add another feature like doors or something. Great job!
