Paradise Inc by Criobite 2018-09-02T08:04:47Z ♥ 1

Really nice game. The graphics reminded me of Flashback or Another World, very cool and set the mood well. The music was nice, I liked the change of mood when you get to Paradise. The story was a bit short and predictable - I get that there wasn't enough time to make a longer story, but since you don't get to make any decisions, it's a bit unsatisfying. I'd love to see this fleshed out a bit more - perhaps some explanation of why Paradise isn't what they hoped for. Also, I didn't really notice the people in the background in reality on my first play, so it felt like there were more people in Paradise - maybe there should be more people in the apartment building at the start to really push the "running out of space" theme. Overall, great job!

Space Cadet by bobismijnnaam 2018-08-30T20:20:21Z ♥ 0

I enjoyed the oddness, didn't mind the motion blur. I played for a while, got spacebars from various places, and offered them to the buddha, but then the game seemed to crash. Overall, pretty good!

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-08-27T08:05:58Z ♥ 1

Aaah, I love this! The graphics are excellent and cute as heck! It's particularly interesting to me, as your game is similar in concept to my own, but you've done a much better job. I wish you'd had time to get some sounds in, it would have made it much more atmospheric. Some suggestions for post-jam features:

* Broccolis and tomatoes seem to chew up the same amount of pizza, so I made sure to shoot broccoli first, as they take fewer shots to kill. Maybe make tomatoes take bigger bites, or introduce some more ingredients with different eating patterns. * ~~Make the bad guys come in waves - maybe you can have victory condition if you beat all the waves without dying or losing all the pizza~~ - oh, you already thought of this :) * Score based on number of bad guys killed or amount of pizza left * Different weapons - maybe you could have a flame thrower that would cook bad guys into the pizza and rebuild it

Anyway, fantastic game - I'd love to see you keep working on it!

Crowdy Planet by arche-san 2018-08-15T16:14:49Z ♥ 1

Really lovely game! The graphics and sfx are cute and the music fits perfectly. I found it difficult to see which crowdys were sick once you zoom out to the second stage, so they kept dying off in planetwide plagues :( which is a great challenge! I kept accidentally killing crowdys i wanted to clone and vice versa - but I'm playing on a macbook with a trackpad with no right-mouse-button, which isn't really the right tool for the job - maybe keyboard + mouse controls? Great work!

Pre Alpha Build by PlusMinus 2018-08-15T15:02:05Z ♥ 3

I like it! Tetris meets tower defence - would have been a good entry for LD41 too :) The UI was a little confusing, I didn't immediately understand what the numbers meant - perhaps a short tutorial round before sending in the hordes of enemies? But maybe I'm just slow. The music and graphics are cool, nice work!

Borderblast by someone9999 2018-08-15T14:45:48Z ♥ 1

I couldn't get the game to run on macos :( I executed the Jar file, but all I get is a blank window.

Brightly-Wrapped Boxes by incobalt 2018-08-15T14:29:49Z ♥ 1

Nice literal interpretation of the theme. I liked the idea of the game, placing presents and then opening them is quite jolly compared to a lot of violent and intense offerings out there. Speaking of intensity, I didn't really get a sense of urgency about picking up waiting boxes, so when I ran out of time, it was a bit of a surprise. Perhaps some kind of nagging would help? I found the movement was fine, and I agree that zooming out the camera might be useful, although I didn't really have any trouble placing boxes. Nice job! 👍

Running out of S.P.A.C.E. by Frank Gevaerts 2018-08-15T07:54:44Z ♥ 1

Tricky and funny! I felt pretty smart putting the space in the telescope, but then I got stuck outside the hyperspace gym, because I didn't realise what happened when I got on the treadmill. Made me feel nostalgic for Zork and all those old text adventures. 👍

SpaceRunner by jackou 2018-08-15T07:33:51Z ♥ 1

Great game! Left me wanting more. I like the feel of the floaty jumps and the jetpack mechanic works well. I think the collision detection could be tweaked a bit - I was killed by spikes when jumping near them even when I didn't touch them, so I assume the hit boxes are a bit bigger than the sprites. Nice work!

Utter Space by snakemuho 2018-08-14T22:48:54Z ♥ 1

Really nice! I found it challenging to build up the door and then it took me a minute to figure out what to do when I had 🤦 Great work!

Rainforest by SimoGecko 2018-08-14T22:38:50Z ♥ 2

Beautiful graphics, and a fun game. I also didn't realise how to know which boxes went where at first - maybe colour coding would be more obvious than the number labels and the box size. But that's just a quibble. Great work! 👍

Reasonable Claustrophobia by SkullPixel 2018-08-14T22:26:15Z ♥ 1

Wow, I love this game! Your graphics and animation are awesome, and the sound effects and music are great too. The gameplay is fast and smooth and compulsive. I managed to beat the game and I really enjoyed using the walls to take out the bad guys. Superb!

Reverse by Goutye 2018-08-14T22:10:49Z ♥ 1

Slick puzzle game with a simple, innovative concept. Really liked it, even though I am not very good at it. Well done!

Noah's Help! by Ian Kettlewell 2018-08-14T21:50:40Z ♥ 0

Great game! Super cute animal graphics and a fun puzzle. I liked the sound effects. I managed to complete the game (yay!) but that last level was pretty tough. A couple of animals shapes were difficult to see - perhaps the squares that would be filled could be highlighted when you drag the animal over them? 👍

Slime Escape by Dom Harris 2018-08-14T10:08:33Z ♥ 1

Great game! Sound effects are just right (although I also had the click/chirp at the end of the jump sound when I played, but nm) and the music fits well, even if it is a slightly short loop. The graphics are really nice and the controls are smooth. I'm terrible at platform games, so I can't do a speedrun, but I had fun playing. Top work!

The Big Crunch: Cosmic Horizon by Daniel Alhadeff 2018-08-14T09:49:19Z ♥ 1

Great game! The music is really good and the game is easy to get to grips with and compulsive. I had trouble with the asteroids kind of hugging the walls and it was difficult to get them away again, so maybe the physics need a tweak? Also, I didn't really notice the walls closing in, but the visual effect is cool. 👍

Delivery Boi by JCMonkey 2018-08-14T09:43:00Z ♥ 1

Excellent game! Graphics are fun, sound effects are awesome. I thought I was doing ok, but then I ran out of space, so maybe you could make it more obvious that space is about to run out by flashing/enlarging the capacity meter or something - to give the player a sense of urgency. But that's just polish. Loved it 👍

float and stuff by wildcard 2018-08-14T09:39:04Z ♥ 2

I liked it! I was surprised at the level restarting once I'd made it impossible to win - in other games like this, you just get stuck and have to manually restart or wait for the timer to run down, so 👍 for that feature.

Dead Zone by Melmo 2018-08-13T20:32:36Z ♥ 1

Nice game! Really tough, and the mouse control seems weird - I thought the ship would aim at the mouse pointer, but it seemed like moving the mouse left and right was like pressing the left and right arrow keys instead. Nice graphics and sound, and sticks close to the theme too.

Iris by Galan 2018-08-13T20:19:07Z ♥ 1

Wow, this is a hard game - I can't even get past the second wave. Nice graphics and sound, smooth gameplay, and it fits the theme. Makes me want to keep trying!

Running Out of Space by Danny Sun 2018-08-13T20:12:49Z ♥ 0

I liked it! I couldn't seem to replenish the jump meter fast enough, so I didn't make it very far. The sound effects are great and the music is pretty good too. 👍

Setting Soul by Omniorcus 2018-08-13T19:01:43Z ♥ 0

The atmosphere is very creepy, especially with the music and the evil laughter. I couldn't figure out where to go after the second arrow, though.

Closing In by Cobear25 2018-08-13T17:58:03Z ♥ 1

Nice game! The music and the graphics are good - although I also found it hard to see how close the walls were. I felt like it could all be a bit faster.

POP! Save Person McPersonFace by SixBeeps 2018-08-13T17:26:08Z ♥ 1

The intro was so calm, and then the game was intense! The music and the countdown timer really put the pressure on! The controls are confusing, but it kind of adds to the challenge.

Stack Overflow by firefly4 2018-08-13T17:05:47Z ♥ 0

It's quite compulsive! I got into a rhythm and could keep the stack empty without too much trouble, so maybe it should get faster or something. The sound effects are just right and the graphics are simple but effective. Nice work!

Spaceabon by Agecaf 2018-08-13T16:45:50Z ♥ 1

Fun puzzler! I found the game very easy to get into and very soothing in puzzle mode - especially with the great music just keeping me sliding those blocks around and tidying up! Very zen. 😑

Getting Some Space by Qazikol 2018-08-13T16:20:33Z ♥ 1

I think it's really beautiful. It's very soothing and I really love the traffic sounds. Great to see this kind of entry!

Continuum by Hakro 2018-08-13T15:57:14Z ♥ 0

It's quite a simple game and easy to win - like others have said, it might be nice to have more keys to type (or words). The graphics, sound and music are all superb! 👍

Dash Brawler by glitchman 2018-08-13T14:50:56Z ♥ 2

Love it! The AI is pretty easy to beat, but it is still satisfying to do it! Love the graphics style, the sound effects are perfect and the intro is cool too. 👍

Bitter Litter by Jole 2018-08-13T14:42:22Z ♥ 0

Lovely graphics and music! The beep sound effect is a bit jarring, though. The feel of the controls is so nice, drifting around the planet 😁 It crashed for me on Mac - I was just clicking at random and the whole app shut down - but it was fun while it lasted.

Rumble Trouble by alexkarate 2018-08-13T14:34:49Z ♥ 1

I liked it! Simple but solid puzzle mechanics. I found the music a bit aggravating, but 👍 for doing it. I found it a bit too easy to press the wrong key and walk off the edge, which I suppose it the point, but I think the challenge should be more about not painting yourself into a corner than fat fingers - so maybe prevent the player walking off the path?

DON'T RUN OUT OF SPACE by Paden Shorey 2018-08-13T14:23:45Z ♥ 1

Awesome! I love the graphics style, you stuck close to the theme, the sound effects are great and it's fun too!

ROOS? by Genpaku 2018-08-13T14:11:27Z ♥ 0

Good game! Graphics are simple but effective. It could do with some guidance to start with, but it's pretty obvious how to play once the blocks start falling.

Another Summer Run by Tragon 2018-08-13T14:04:15Z ♥ 1

Nice work! I made it to the coast without any trouble, so it might be a bit easy. I didn't understand that you score more points if you're closer to the edge, so maybe some way of showing that would help, like bonus points notifications or something. I definitely got the feel of the theme, and the graphics are pretty cute.

Petra by cassowary 2018-08-13T13:15:29Z ♥ 2

Great puzzler! I only managed to solve the impossible level by accident after getting stuck, but I worked out most of the levels eventually. Love the simple colourful graphics and the simple smooth gameplay.

Running out of Space by tom7 2018-08-13T12:49:12Z ♥ 1

Really nice game! Reminded me of games like Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion. Took me a while to translate the alien characters and even longer to figure out how to get to the upper deck, but I completed the game eventually!

Floodtown by Sita 2018-08-13T12:01:44Z ♥ 1

I liked it! I managed to earn $12072, so probably I didn't quite get how to play properly. Perhaps a tutorial would help. The graphics were nice and I really got the theme of running out of space!

Running out of Keys by OadT 2018-08-13T11:48:42Z ♥ 2

Great puzzle game! Once you get it (I took a couple of tries to figure out how to play), it is quite easy, so maybe adding a timer would help. Would play again!

backSpace-X by omercanbalandi 2018-08-13T11:41:02Z ♥ 1

Nice work! I found it a bit boring (sorry) and the collision detection seems off, because I got hit by things that were not touching me. I liked the sound effects and music.

Demonologist by Ghen 2018-08-13T10:12:33Z ♥ 1

Fun game! The temperature mechanic has potential. I never saw the fire totem, so some way of showing which way to go to get there in time would help. The guide was too long. Reminded me a bit of llamatron.
