great work, most has already been said, but I would like to underline the failings of the sound design. please never have extremely low or high pitched noisy generated sounds on loop, especially alone at any normal volume. it can get quite painful to listen to for headphone users.
extremely well polished, good work. I love the dialogue, and the secret ending is wonderful. I would have made the thruster charge a little faster, or maybe give the earth a little less drag. fantastic job.
saw the word sentai while rapidly scrolling through submissions and had to scroll back up and find it. great work, I love the premise and execution. the feeling of smallness is wonderful in this one. while the gameplay is simple, it is fun. this entire thing reminds me of the "MILLIONS DEAD" joke that was prevalent in the twitch power rangers marathon. nice game, 5/5 humor.
nice work! I also made a unity3d racing game for compo, but focused more on vehicle physics than environment. if you want an example for how to do better vehicle physics, feel free to grab the source code from my project. your game was very atmospheric, not letting the player look back was a good idea. I did encounter the particular situation, but aside from that the game ran fairly well, even on my older desktop. one thing I would recommend when working with unity wheel colliders is to have a 'wheel guard' collider around the top 3/4 of the wheel. this prevents the somewhat unexpected interactions that can occur when a wheel collider clips into another surface or hits a wall.
this was... surprising. I quite enjoyed it, and found myself laughing aloud from the ridiculousness of it all quite frequently. the reckless dismissal of "intellectual property" and "game design fundamentals" lead this to be an unusual and entertaining experience. the sound design really helped everything come together, without it I believe the entire thing would have fallen flat and seemed like a mishmash of stock assets. the only actual bug I encountered was that you can still move the camera during some cutscenes.
fun! I found the gradual progression of the upgrades to be quite satisfying, and the game's difficulty scaled fairly well to match. the music was fitting, but the sound effects became a little grating after a while. I had fun playing this one, keep it up!
short, but funny and enjoyable. if you made that with pygame that's impressive in itself. good work.
nice work! I feel like the turn speed is is a little restrictive, but then again I had trouble aiming too. I liked how your engine cuts out when you leave the atmosphere, for realism. it would be neat if drag dropped off as your altitude increased. the only real problem for me is that the shooting sound effect can grate on the ears after a while, especially if you are wearing headphones. great job overall!
really cool! I've done enough in python to know that this is quite impressive! It's fun to see different strains expand over various areas. as it stands now, It's more of a simulation than a game. something like this would be cool if there were better ways to control what is growing where. if irrigation and terraforming were made a little cheaper, random mutation were removed (crossbreeding only), and a box select function were added, it could be quite fun. it could certainly benefit from the addition of selection highlighting.
I love it! very tense and difficulty scales in an intuitive and fun way. almost every part of this game is self explanatory, which is quite an accomplishment! my only complaint is that the sound effects can be a little painful for headphone users after a while.
nice! I hope you keep at it and join next Ludum Dare! 👍
neat!
the sound design was top notch on this one, and it is quite nice graphically too.
the gameplay was simple but fun, and you did a great job letting the player figure things out on their own.
my only complaint with this one was that I had no wasd controls. telling the astronaut where to go was a little awkward at times, and wasd movement would have simplified things somewhat. his speed is a little slow, but the animation makes it feel normal.
great job, I haven't seen many compo entries this polished.
fun! its an interesting take on the theme, and very nice visually. the overall presentation of the game is very professional, and the soundtrack is great. I only wish the music was dynamic in some way. I didnt find a win condition after playing for a while, so I'm going t o assume there isn't one. it would be nice if that were spelled out somewhere. perhaps if a win condition were added, you could make it so the music tracks switched from the first to the second part when the player was about half way to victory. the planet feels much larger than it is, due to the dark and muddy graphics. adding some camera movement or reducing fog a little might help this. great work overall. this game is much more polished than most submissions I see here, especially for a compo entry.
clever idea, would definitely play a mobile version. I'll be watching this one!
it took me until day 7, but I beat it! great work. this is an excellent art game and I will definitely show it to people as an example of game mechanics as metaphor. keep it up!
nice work and welcome the the Ludum Dare community! I look forward to seeing what you make next time! this entry may be unimpressive, but it's yours and that's something to be proud of. next time focus on making every event in the game give some sort of feedback to the player, through sound, animation, or noticeable changes to score.
this is one of the best ones I've played yet! the music is excellent. the gameplay is well implemented and fun. the asteroids aesthetic is consistent, clear, and helps the player quickly grasp the unconventional gameplay. great job. 👍
the only problem I could find with it is that in some levels you can jump off the top or sides and land on your starting rock, canceling it's momentum before it touches anything. I cheesed several of the levels like that. I also found that I never needed to use the grapple function, since I would always land eventually. perhaps a slightly slower version of the game with death walls would be more difficult?
Nice work! I found it very relaxing, the music was nice and the calligraphy pen effect that the digging leaves behind is particularly nice to look at. your interpretation of the theme through the gradual progression of the window size was brilliant. I didn't try the postcompo release, but in your official release I collected all the green pellets and knocked down all the accessible apples and the game crashed. is that where the ending would have been? your post says the compo version is bugged but does not say how. some clarification on that point would be appreciated.
I noticed the credits mention several people, and accredit the music to incompetech. this contradicts your submission to the Compo, as the [rules](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/rules) state that compo is for single person attempts. you should switch your game category to "JAM" ASAP.
fun! the game moves very fast, it was quite difficult for me to keep track of my character and deal with the enemies at that speed. also the bullets and enemies all moved at very similar speeds, and were similar enough graphically that in the heat of the moment they were more or less indistinguishable. I would recommend making the bullets less similar to the enemies in size, movement speed, and color to make quick recognition and dodging easier. graphically, it looks very good. the minimal style stands out from the typical 'lo-bit' minimalism you see in ludum dare submissions. the sound design is solid. while it may not be diverse, the music serves it's purpose and the sound effects are clear and dont grate on the ears after a while like many BFXR sound effects can. good work, I will be sure to rate your game when rating goes live.

great implementation, the graphics and sound were really nice. It does feel like the enemies aren't really synchronized to the beat, though that might be just me.
Particle Overload by Turtwiggy 2019-05-04T20:59:29Z ♥ 1
I used reach for the summit from the celeste OST and was impressed, it's very ambitions to try and make a game and music visualizer in such a short time frame, and you did a good job.
Glory of the Gods by vladirien 2019-05-04T20:31:58Z ♥ 2
I had fun with this one. I wish the game had a dash recharge meter or some other indicator, especially with variable cooldown time as a mechanic. here is my final scoresheet:scoreboard.PNG
Coin War by jjones 2019-05-04T20:18:29Z ♥ 0
wow, I was not expecting a pool game on this theme. really cool! It took me 22 moves to win. probably the most fun I've had with an entry's difficulty on this one. My one criticism is that I never used the board tilt mechanic, since by the time I could move my hands to the arrow keys the coin had expended most of it's spin.
Graveyard Ghost by Jesús González 2019-05-04T07:48:10Z ♥ 1
I had fun abusing the teleport mechanic. since it doesn't negate your velocity you can set the teleport at the top of your jump, then jump and immediately teleport, then set the teleport one jump height above where the last teleport was set and repeat to basically fly.
Lifestock by Esben Jensen 2019-04-29T23:43:08Z ♥ 1
cool puzle game, I got a score of 1668. the first time I sold, my volume was up and the beeps were quite startling. very smart interpretation of the theme.
Tanemaki by Wyatt 2019-04-29T23:17:11Z ♥ 5
WOW this is really good! the map is huge for a jam game, and sound and graphics all fit perfectly. the only criticism I have is that the ball kinda jumps when it gets bigger, which maybe could have been solved by spherecasting down from above it and teleporting it to the collision distance on growth, but otherwise this is a perfect entry. the interpretation of the theme was really creative as well.
also the seed sounds made me laugh.
Take them with you by Dinorex 2019-04-29T22:53:34Z ♥ 2
Really slick! The only unpolished thing I noticed was that diagonal movement seems to be faster than straight, remember to normalize your movement vector!
Boxes Rush by Mia Devs 2019-04-29T22:45:21Z ♥ 0
Superjumps are possible if you jump right in front of a wall, but they're actually bad since they keep you off the floor longer than you usually want.

I cant download it.
I will play it if you reply after fixing this.
Feed My Sheep by mmmmGoodDinner 2019-04-29T22:25:14Z ♥ 1
Though I cut my play session short due to the protesting cries of my laptop, the game seemed pretty good. The size of the wolf caught me off guard, perhaps you could spawn them further from the player and have the growl as they approach to build tension.
Poop counter made me chuckle.
Coin Odyssey by Thermacon 2019-04-29T22:12:45Z ♥ 0
It would be funny if the number of coins in the starting pile went down each level, until the last level is the last coin escaping. then the win screen could have HIM sulking in a corner, penniless. I think the controls could be improved to allow high skill edge rolling shenanigans, but you did a good job given the timeframe. great work! (I would have wasted all my time getting edge rolling to work, then not finished.)

nice.

love the DF aesthetic, will definitely play and rate if ported to windows! (sorry.)
BIOFUEL by Antoine Cuvilliez 2019-04-29T21:37:56Z ♥ 5
Neat! I was expecting the option to consume crew once biofuel was out, but maybe I'm just weird. Very polished, though I was a little surprised when I tried to rewind the tutorial and started the game instead.
Forex Platformer by cax 2019-04-29T21:25:04Z ♥ 1
really clever take on the theme! I enjoyed it, but didn't really understand the picture so it took me a while to figure out how to play. also on my computer A and D did not work and I had to use arrow keys to move. Would have benefited from title and quit screens, and some basic sounds, but overall this feels quite polished, the controls were consistent and I didn't encounter any bugs.
Borrowed time by GoblinPortal 2019-04-29T20:06:10Z ♥ 1
Game looks very nice! Please don't name the file LDjam44.zip, it leads to confusion. Would have been nice to have start and pause menus with quit options rather than the esc to kill, but it's not a huge deal. gameplay was alright. I do like grab and throw mechanics, it would have been cool if there was a little more skill to getting people into the hole, maybe they could break out of your grip and you'd need to regrab them, or the target could be harder to hit. sound was nice, good job.
U Wouldn't Shoot a Ship by NotSoEpicGames 2019-04-29T19:33:37Z ♥ 2
I like it!, as Vertuga32 said, the sounds are good. the Intro is very slick, was a nice surprise. My biggest criticism is that the main menu isn't navigable using the listed controls, you need to use the arrow keys and enter which is not clear. The broadsiding battleship enemies were cool. The default unity blue border was a little ugly, would have been nice if the starfield extended beyond the play area and there were an energy fence or something. Great work on the music!
