A SMALL 「WORLD」 by Azargaz 2017-05-09T19:57:17Z

@ferminho Thanks for feedback! I know the game becomes easy and that it's just mindless slaughter that gets a bit boring after a while. Unfortunately I didn't have time to make better gameplay as I spend most of the time on animations and pixel art (but I think it was worth it).

Also if you didn't complete the game (you need to get 1000 points to complete it) I highly recommend that you do it because what you will see may (or may not) change your opinion about the game drastically ;)

MORE by beta 2017-05-09T19:41:58Z

Pretty good. At first I thought it was just flying in space, but then I notice you can feed Earth with asteroids and other planets. I was dissapointed you can't eat the Sun (or maybe you can and I just didn't figure out a way to do this?)

Railroad to Hell by Ferminho 2017-05-09T19:13:18Z

The music and sound effects are really cool and fit the game, but as others have said the stun is annoying. I would suggest adding invincibility after getting hit and maybe bigger punch hitbox.

A Mote in the Dark by Kirenio 2017-05-09T19:27:39Z

Intresting idea, pretty fun to play, but it gets a bit tiring when you have more motes. I really like the graphics, simple and clean.

Moon is the limit by Azargaz 2017-08-01T19:06:15Z

@some-nerd

I'm sorry I should've mentioned that the game is inspired by Into Space. I just really liked that game and wanted to make my own version and I didn't have any good idea for this theme, but I don't think it's exact copy, like I didn't even try to copy anything from that game expect mechanics. And I don't think you need to spam the cheat button to get any money but it's pretty difficuly at the start and sometimes bugged.

Quad and Cycl by ijzm 2017-08-01T17:05:08Z

Shame that core mechanic doesn't work, but still it was fun to play. Music is nice but it doesn't loop so it just stops after a while. I liked the look of robots and power cells but the backgrounds and tiles are meh, but they fit the theme of the game.

Five swords to Hell by Javier Diez 2017-08-01T17:14:31Z

This game is really weird, but I like weird games. It looks nice and music is great. So far my favourite in this LD :ok_hand:

Light-Eater by prettylucky 2017-08-01T17:45:54Z

I'm not sure how this fits the theme but it was fun to play. I love the aesthetics.

Cyberg by Stepan Shabalin 2017-08-01T18:33:11Z

So first of all please fix Viewport dimensions in itch.io settings because you can't see whole screen unless you go into fullscreen mode.

This game is really unfair and the rewind mechanic is pretty much useless but despite that it's really addicting and it feels really good when game starts to go fast and you still manage to land on the platforms. I didn't get to any boss battle, I think it's impossible, at higher speeds you can't jump over enemies and you can't even jump to other platforms.

Overall it's pretty good and I don't think it's bad game as you called it, graphics and music are nice and I really enjoyed the intro :)

Become King Again by Flippo 2017-08-01T17:20:15Z

Unique idea and good music but really short and unpolished.

Spacesquid Spaceship by Nezumi Games 2017-08-01T17:39:30Z

Really polished game with great pixel art. Music and sound effects are fitting the mood of the game. It was a bit tiring but fun to play. The idea is cool, unique and matches the theme well. I didn't find any bugs which is suprising for a Ludum Dare game.

I completed the game at first try, here you can see my score: http://puu.sh/wYRQq/8692370b3c.png

A SWELL BULLET-HELL by algu 2017-08-03T10:25:51Z

Nice idea and graphics but the controls are just awful. It's not bullet hell if you don't have precise control over your character and why even have shooting on mouse buttons if you can't aim with mouse. I really wanted to like this game but the controls are horrible. Other than that everything is good.

GunGuy by Luis Giron 2018-12-04T09:55:20Z

Cool aesthetics and audio, gameplay is good but I think camera was a bit annoying with how I couldn't see what is below. Great use of theme, I like how I could choose my own playstyle by sacrificiing either life, attack or ammo, I always went full attack and I think it might be a bit too good compared to other options.

Krakatoa by fishbrain 2018-12-04T09:47:31Z

Simple but really cool game, love the sounds they make when they reach the top. I like how you made it so that game sometimes speed ups for a while and then slow downs, it makes this simple game a lot more intense.

Bones for the Bone God by Azargaz 2018-12-06T19:10:16Z

@zarqus99 I never made any music (and I don't like using premade assets) so I wanted to finally make something for this LD but run out of time. Maybe next LD I will have music in my game :sweat_smile:

Duplicube by joewan 2018-12-06T15:38:24Z

Really cool game, although the missiles in last level were a bit annoying until I figured out a way to finish this level. I think you could tweak the speed of missiles to make them feel better, maybe make them a bit faster or slower I don't know :shrug:.

Also really great simplistic artstyle and audio.

Hardcore Cave Painting by Madgvox 2018-12-04T09:12:06Z

Really unique idea, love the gameplay, although I think jumping could be better, character should be able to jump much higher. Artstyle and sound design is also great, really like sounds of sucking in and shooting ink. Overall this is one of my favourites this LD.

Down Below by NicMagnier 2018-12-04T17:24:36Z

Very cool, good graphics, gameplay, audio, nice use of theme and interesting story. Also really clever level design, I was confused at first why there is so much jump pads but when you go back it makes sense.

Necroprancer by Blueman 2018-12-04T09:25:46Z

Creative idea, gameplay is pretty good and graphics are good enough, audio is not annoying which makes it pretty great. I like how you can use different routes in some parts and how you can make the game easier by stacking corpses but you won't get too far that way because there is a limit. Unfortunately I'm not good at this game so I didn't get any good time.

Satan's Island by Badosz 2018-12-04T09:41:45Z

Really cool game, though I wish I could get to the end (if there is one), if I have time later I'll try to open the chest, but it seems like a really hard task.

More Sacrifices! by Alex Davies 2018-12-04T08:42:55Z

Overall very nice game, but I also got bug with slow motion. I think it happened when I got killed during sacrifice animation but it still went to next level and then everything was in slow motion.

Alms Crown by toboggan 2018-12-05T22:12:59Z

Really cool idea for puzzle game and great aesthetics. The only thing I didn't like is how in some levels it's hard to tell how high up you can go, but overall really good game.

Unnecessary Evil by Eva Abollivier 2018-12-04T22:28:02Z

Really cool game, similar to mine in mechanics which made it a bit easier to figure out :wink: (though my game has group of skeletons that you control at once instead of different characters that you can switch between). I especially liked your audio I think it's great, both music and different sounds.

I guess my only problem is how it's related to theme as you actually can't sacrifice anyone if you want to reach the "true" end, but it's nice that characters say something when you sacrifice someone.

Kaiju Attack by zaza 2018-12-04T22:00:28Z

Very cool, sweet gameplay, unique graphics and good sound design. I love big robots vs big monsters and I wish you had some real kaiju instead of floating octahedrons but it's okay. (By the way are they Evangelion reference?)

Dungeon Knight by T1NCUP 2018-12-04T08:51:19Z

Can't play it, link is broken.

A Town of Questionable Morals by CaseyH 2018-12-07T18:19:36Z

Really fun simple game, graphics are good, audio is okay, and gameplay is suprisingly pretty fun.

Total Party Kill by adventureislands 2018-12-06T19:15:25Z

This is amazing, easily one of my favourites this LD. Level design is really clever and mechanics work so smoothly, music and art is top notch and the ending was really great. I hope I will see you next LD!

Return of the Roguelike by Azargaz 2019-05-02T18:05:08Z

@quasar47 Thanks for feedback! To address your issues with the game:

First: I'm aware of this issue, but I don't really want to fix anything more in jam version, but if I finish full version of this game weapon hitboxes will for sure be better, that and enemies AI will be better so maybe they won't get stuck inside player.

Second: the blood fountains were actually last minute addition so they are really confusing, using them basically gives gold (which scales with kills and number of fountains used), and gold you can use in shop before the start of level but only when you are skeleton.

And the boxes and jars, they are just decoations, there is no way to restore health right now, sorry ;)

BLOOD FIGHTERS by Lucien Catonnet 2019-05-01T17:28:47Z

I had really even fight with AI, lost 2 times but I won in the end!

Game is pretty great, smooth gameplay, nice art and music, only problem is I don't really get how it's related to theme, but I don't care about it that much anyways.

It Will Cost You Your Life by R3L0ad1 2019-05-03T09:11:40Z

Nice game but the movement isn't the best, almost like on ice. And the transitions between levels/menus: they are too long and hurt my eyes.

Other than that its pretty fun game.

WE:FX ミンナガFX by junt74 2019-05-01T20:51:50Z

Really fun game, got around 4400 highscore, but I mostly played without cashing in score lol. Great mechanics, nice and simple graphics and probably the best music I heard in LD game ever. And the game also fits theme really nicely.

Gacha by zchen 2019-04-30T15:59:05Z

Really simple but cool and enjoyable game. I really like the artstyle and all the descriptions on items.

I found one bug: if you use up all gachapons in one of containers (or at least in the 1$ one) it breaks the game, there is no button to skip years and you're stuck with no money.

Life Death + Lemons by Random Thoughts 2019-05-03T20:06:31Z

Really solid game, I love the music and simple artstyle, and it's really addicting. It took me 42 turns to finish.

No Life No Game by TheMoonrise 2019-05-03T12:12:49Z

Interesting enemy design, along with cool weapons and nice music.

I have only one thing to add: I think there should be some way to restore hearts, maybe by buying them back but at such price so that you don't gain too much by betting all your hearts and buying them back. I think it would be interesting addition to the game.

Chesty the Treasure by Lord9000 2019-04-30T15:20:44Z

Great graphics and interesting gameplay as other have said similar to Pacman. I have only one problem with the game: the movement is clunky, it should be possible to just hold down key to move instead of clicking. Other than that pretty good game.

Labyrinth of Lifeforce by Arthur Baars 2019-05-01T17:47:55Z

Unfortunately my PC can't handle your game either, but if you fix it I'll try to play it and rate it.

Tiny Roguelike by fitret 2019-05-01T17:41:09Z

I don't get how this game is realted to the theme but it's really fun and art isn't too bad, I really like the skill icons.

There is one thing I think could improve the gameplay: add option to use skills with keyboard instead of clicking on them as this gets annoying really fast. If I could choose skill with some hotkeys the game would be even more fun.

Escape from Hell by Becher 2019-04-30T09:17:20Z

Nice idea and great art style but game is a bit annoying to play. I think increased movement speed would help or maybe some kind of checkpoints before places where you have to die a lot to progress.

MONGR by minor_gods 2019-05-01T20:42:46Z

Easily one of the best games this LD. Really polished and unique idea and nicely fits into theme.

Nothing+Nothing= by Azargaz 2019-10-09T07:18:37Z

@guardaro Sorry to hear that, I didn't have much time left to make tutorial so I expected some people would be confused :slight_frown: But thanks to your feedback I've added short explanation on how to play the game, I hope it makes it more clear what to do. If you want you can read it here or on itch.io page and give the game another try.

Daunting Dungeon by Jiri_One 2018-04-25T17:40:02Z

It's pretty good but the controls are really annoying, you should have made it WASD for movement and arrow keys for shooting.

Headball by Zarkonnen 2018-04-24T16:49:11Z

Great graphics and audio, really polished. Interesting concept and it plays well.

Turn-based Bullethell by Azargaz 2018-04-24T19:30:57Z

Thanks everyone for the comments.

@SoulPixel yeah about the movement circle, unfortunately I forgot to explain it somewhere how it works, basically the closer you are to enemy bullets the smaller is the movement circle.

Turn-based Bullethell by Azargaz 2018-04-25T21:47:38Z

@lukbebalduke Thanks for feedback, your game was great. I too think my game should be more self-explanatory but I only noticed once people started playing that it might be a bit too confusing. The bombs are called bombs because thats what they're called in other bullethells that I played, so I just went with this name.

@hatchet Thanks! About the turns, it was really hard to make them feel right without making the game too easy/too hard, and I think they feel really clunky so if I continue developing this game I'll have more time to mess with turn mechanics and make sure they are more turn-y but don't decrease/increase the difficulty too much. Also the code for this game was such a mess that I'll have to start from scratch but now with more ideas and time :v:

RTHM by fashionbatman 2018-04-24T18:38:51Z

Really unique idea and fun gameplay although I think the window for clicking is a bit too short.

Knight Pants by unoion 2018-04-24T21:38:59Z

Great looking game, but mechanics could use some improvements. It would be cool if you could select few knights at the same times like in RTS games.

DUNK EM UP! by lukbebalduke 2018-04-24T16:39:30Z

5/5 Amazing game.

I found 1 bug, at least it doesn't feel like intended feature. If you dunk in the hole in the middle it doesn't do anything except wasting time, really annoying.

BREAK // HELL by Incredible Ape 2018-04-24T19:10:37Z

This is one of the best entries I have played, props for bullet hell, my game is also combination of bullet hell and other genre in my case it's turnbased :ok_hand:

Slice of Screen by Zirrrus 2018-04-23T19:50:54Z

Really cool idea, but without tab I got a bit confused. Minimalistic 1D visuals look pretty, but the minimap could use some polishing.

Feed the Beat by Benstar 2018-04-24T16:03:43Z

I'm not good at rhythm games but I love them and this one is great. I think it's my first 5/5 in Fun category. Also reconfigurable controls would be cool addition, I have small arrow keys so it was a bit harder to play.

Oni Hunter by pataya 2018-04-26T17:48:04Z

This one is my favourite. I love the artstyle, simple yet challenging gameplay, the music. Everything is great.

Talk Block Chronicles by Yokimbo 2018-04-25T08:31:30Z

This was really fun. Very short but solid.

Royale Jeeps by SoulPixel 2018-04-25T17:25:32Z

I think battle royale combined with racing is great concept but it's obvious you didn't have time to polish it. Keep it up!

Hallway Rumble by Sholf 2018-04-24T19:46:42Z

I love the art style, sound effects and gameplay is pretty fun too, but I think it's really annoying that these desks (or boxes?) can kill you in one hit.

Hallway Rumble by Sholf 2018-04-24T20:09:06Z

@Sholf that might help but I think they souldn't instakill you, unless they already don't and it was just me always on low hp when getting hit by the desk :shrug:

Darkade by hatchet 2018-04-25T21:32:05Z

So I played this game without reading description and the first thing I think "how is this related to the theme" and then I broke the wall and realized what is going on. Unfortunatly I didn't find all the secrets but all the glitches and messages I found were great.

Bullet Heck by equa 2018-04-30T13:24:47Z

Interesting combination. Love the ASCII aesthetics.

Sneak To The Rhythm by BlakeMcDeezy 2018-04-25T08:26:51Z

Really fun idea, graphics are lacking but the audio more than makes up for it.

Rogue Race by Groggi 2018-04-24T15:39:50Z

I got 3200 score. Very interesting idea, love the graphics. Unfortunatly encounters get repetitive pretty fast.

PlatSCII by whycardboard 2018-04-24T16:26:53Z

Very interesting idea. The art style, audio and command mechanics are all great.

Cyclevania by Allen Oliver 2018-04-23T20:18:26Z

Pretty good game, but in my opinion the movement mechanics were a bit annoying.

Click for Speed by Borodar 2018-04-24T10:06:15Z

Pretty good. I have touch screen in my laptop and I think it plays much better with touch controls.

Fish tank Royale by Loreith 2018-04-26T20:30:37Z

Weird but interesting idea. I love the art and audio, but gameplay is a bit boring.

Gorytale by zivs 2018-04-25T17:17:48Z

This is really fun and interesting combination of themes.

Toaster Boy by FreypodGames 2018-04-24T19:04:52Z

Really fun gameplay, I was so close to getting this kitten, but got stuck on stop sign :cry:

firefox_2018-04-24_21-01-31.png

SmackPaint! Combat Painting with Ross Bob by GregWLyons 2018-04-25T17:28:59Z

Really unique idea, it was pretty fun.

Sword step by DarthWaxus 2018-04-24T16:17:23Z

Simple and beautiful :ok_hand:

Super Platformer RPG by Silent Tower Games 2018-04-23T20:06:31Z

I love the artstyle, it's simple and really good. Battle system was ok, nothing special but works well. I think some jumps were too hard but that's maybe just me. Overall great combination of RPG and platformer.

Vyperspace by iLKke 2018-05-03T13:17:36Z

Really well polished and fun to play. Great game.
