LD45 — Start with nothing

NOTHING TO LOSE by Seththefirst 2019-10-07T15:33:10Z

The hiring was nice as I ran with a bunch of people to raid a camp. Also the fast zooming in on the camps when you get close was nice. The fighting, I think, was automatic so it was pretty much the number of your followers that'd make or break the conquerin of a camp. Good usage of the theme!

Paint Rush by Ekilibr 2019-10-08T13:25:30Z

Very nice! The sounds where nice. And the hidden enemies that you have to punch to get them visible is a very nice mechanic. Only problem with it was that you get "why did I die" feeling if an unvisible enemy kills you because there's lot of colors and stuff happening. The controls were really responsive and the grabbing and throwing was great. Very nice!

WADJ by HolyBlackCat 2019-10-07T15:19:07Z

Really liked the artstyle. Camera's slow zoom was a little choppy. Good puzzles, and a quite innovative way to adapt to the theme. Music's also great.

Chase Champions by PietPtr 2019-10-07T14:38:28Z

Usage of the theme was great. Also the commentary / news idea on the background was a great idea. The driving was a bit slippery but, you know, I can imagine it's not easy to drive without a full car.

Slay the Dungeon by jharler 2019-10-11T12:49:38Z

Very nice looking game! Cool monsters and the emissive bullets were cool. The big red bomb pooping monster was funny. Fun sound effects and nice art. I think the movement speed at the start was a bit too slow and you kinda HAD to upgrade it even if you wanted to upgrade firerate etc. But that's just a tweak. Very nice take on the theme, start with no upgrades and be a super powered monster slayer. Great work!

Stranded by kleinzach 2019-10-15T07:26:20Z

The day and night cycle was a great touch and really helped set the mood. I liked the graphics of the game and it was relaxing to walk on the island and find stuff. The journal texts were funny. Also enjoyed to find my camp growing after walking around collecting stuff and accidentaly finding my camp. Nice!

Graveyard Bones by Jesús González 2019-10-10T14:19:10Z

Really nice looking game. The music added a lot. There's some minor bugs like the skeleton sprite is on some bushes and at the beginning I wandered of to (what I think was) an of game are with nothing by clicking the trees in the bottom. I didn't get to the end but I found some brains that would let me shoot enemies (although I think I could do it from the start) and that's a great idea to give players new abilites as the player discovers new body parts. Nice work!

Pipka by asfdfdfd 2019-10-15T07:13:29Z

The game looks nice and the sound effect are funny. Easy gameplay to get started with maybe the difficulty could be greater towards the end. All-in-all a nice polished ld game!

Comedy Crusade by Gnarly Narwhal 2019-10-08T13:05:19Z

A very nice take on the theme! The minimalistic grahics are coherent so that's nice. Sometimes I went through the blocks after solifying them, don't know if that's on purpose. Nevertheless it was fun to create your own path :D

Ultra Quest by 100th_Coin 2019-10-07T17:46:32Z

Amazingly done especially for one person! Art was great, only thing that didn't look like it belonged was the "star" backgrounds. Gameplay was fun and great that there were different mechanics, altough they could have been used more in the same levels. Music was well done and fitting, maybe a couple more sound effects here or there. Overall amazing job!

The Nothings by Stefanie Leitch 2019-10-10T13:30:12Z

Very nice game. The dialogs were funny and different. It was a good mix of platforming, shooting and adventure. great use of the theme. Cute furballs.

Birb Empire by Los 2019-10-07T16:30:45Z

That was.. nice :D first I didn't know what to do and suddenly I was building my very own beeping empire. After beeping a while the crafting was well executed and my bird got my first nest and expanded its "domain". I enjoyed the color scheme. If there would be somekind of relaxing or calm background music I could see people chilling and clicking away with their birb empire for a long time. Sits well with the LD theme. Also some kind of bird pics (like the on the site icon) would make a great deal when you progress in the game. Very different ludum game, thank you!

Tactical Bodybuilding by SuperTibbles 2019-10-07T17:58:59Z

Very nice looking game! Enjoyed the running men with all kind of stuff as limbs. The "body building" mechanic was a bit strange. The soundtrack sits well with the game look.

Froog by reBTF 2019-10-15T07:08:00Z

A very nice polished frog game. The art style is awesome and how the level builds up as you go looks great. I like how colorful the game is. I also noticed if I keep a movement button pressed I become a super frog and move with the speed of light buuut it didn't work in the next level because it caused me to drop :D a very nice polished LD game I enjoyed!

Cemetery Sweep by Locomule 2019-10-07T15:14:38Z

Fun and addicting mechanics and simplistic sounds fits great. Little confusing at first that you need to move to opposite color. Still enjoyable experience.

Barterin' Buckaroo by chelC 2019-10-07T18:18:04Z

The art is very nice and funny! This is a nice take on click and point puzzle games and the characters were fun. The exchanging mechanic is nicely implemented. Very finished looking game. Great job!

Red Shirt Flying Super Powers Man by Netherlab 2019-10-07T17:42:20Z

Fun little zombie survival, houses worked funnily as epic parkouring. Great sound effects on powers, zombies could have more speed variety and die more easily and aiming was a bit too difficult. Fun game all in all!

My contribution for this ludum dare 45 by TasakaSama 2019-10-07T15:05:22Z

I liked how relaxed the game was. The light looked nice and it was fun to see when the level progressed as I jumped around adding lights. The movement was a bit unresponsive but it didn't bother so much because of the almost floatin feeling with the character. Great work!

The Skewery by vilix64 2019-10-07T14:24:20Z

I enjoyed the puzzle-while-making-food vibe. Good thinking. And the instructions were clear but not too clear. Couple of first times playing I didn't realise there's lines you should put the things on. Very nice overall!

Mishka's Beauty Salon by toad 2019-10-10T14:34:37Z

The art style in this game is very nice! Very moody game. It took me three tries to understand what to do. You have to click the stuff you found to mix color things. And I don't really know how to get more. So it was just purple lipstick and purple foundation to me. Anyways there's a nice foundation for a different style mix,match,makeup game and the description of the game was funny :D wine and chees as makeup. Why not?

Oh!My God by AlerHugues 2019-10-07T14:30:21Z

I enjoyed the art and audio, they sat well together. Also the usage of the theme was great. Start with nothing and keep it so. Great work!

Nada by croben 2019-10-10T13:16:58Z

The sticking flowers were a nice touch. Graphics are very nice and I like how the bee looks very fed up :D The theme was also funnyly implemented as in start with nothing an stay that way. Nice litte game!

Woodland Zero by Shredmer 2019-10-10T14:10:35Z

A very nice arcade tetris platformer game. The squirrel looks cool and the sounds are nice. To hardcore for me to "own" the leaderboards. Also a double jump could work in this games because sometimes there's a bunch of enemies in the way and not a block even close. Anyways nice looking and feeling game!

Spirited Back by Tomssuli 2019-10-11T13:29:16Z

The art and look of the game was nice! I liked the way you start invisible and have to find your first clothes and boots. The jumping was a bit heavy for a platformer but otherwise a nice entry with nice graphics! Also the beginning "cutscene" was a nice touch.

adventure again by gamefive 2019-10-15T06:42:40Z

I like the hand drawn graphics style! very nice. The movement was a bit heavy for a platformer but it just added to the challenge so there's a good side. Some kind of a papery sound would be great for this. Like paper crumbling and stuff. But all in all a neat paper platformer, I enjoyed!

Spooky Mansion by Jeremia 2019-10-10T13:57:49Z

Game looks very nice, the mood's great and flying around with the ghost is fun when you go through everything. There could be some kind of a hint or indicator or a "treasure map" to the key. Now I'm just kinda flying around until I get lucky. And I didn't :D Still, a very nice game and the visuals are nice and the "ghosting" is fun! And the fog of war fits the game nicely.

Writers Block by Copper_Aardvark_Games 2019-10-07T16:16:27Z

Very funny yet still moody. I got hooked on mining ideas from the internet and selling selling selling. I think the UI was very nicely executed. Great work! And it was fun that the ideas had random names like keyboard killer and so on :D

2D PLATFORMER EXE by GabrielGameDev 2019-10-07T17:10:08Z

the setup intro felt realistically frustrating :D nice thinking. The key sounds mentioned already and the typing code was a nice touch :D felt always nice to find an new "feature" and you always anticipated what would come next. I thing my firewall blocked the game because of the name exe.exe but you cleverly had a browser version also. The platforming had a bit too heavy falling for my taste and made me fall down a couple of times but still very enjoyable!

JustStart by Decappoolla 2019-10-07T17:22:50Z

The puzzles were clever. Of course I had to come back and read the controls first. After that I enjoyed all the momments when I came up with the answer. Reminds me of pony island in a way. And don't be sorry about the level amount, better to have five fun levels than ten "meh" levels. :D I enjoyed it.

He knew it was good by Demuss 2019-10-10T13:41:30Z

I enjoyed the game, the converstation with father and his son was a nice touch. The usage of elements was nice and the atmoshepre in the game was good. Good way to play with the theme as in build your own world. The background music was a good fit.

Leverage by BilalCh213 2019-10-10T13:49:24Z

Nice graphic, animations and sounds. Also I liked the lightning effects and sparks when you turned the levers on. I didn't notice that a lever had been turned of and I just kept on clicking those bot balls but that's on me I think :D jumping around in the scenes were made easy. Maybe if the "next scene" arrow would always be in the same spot it would work even better? Don't now. Anyways great Ludum game!

Leverage by BilalCh213 2019-10-10T14:22:37Z

@bilalch213 it's fine, it was just a minor thing and didn't affect my enjoyable experience. :smile:

In the beginning by nsadie 2019-10-15T07:34:29Z

The game looks very nice! I played the original version of the game and didn't have input problems. The lightning is very nice in the game and the flickering fires creates a nice mood. I can imagine the mood is even greater with sounds. Great job!

Cute Farmers by Fax 2019-10-10T14:42:12Z

Cool little farm management game. Simple graphics, simple gameplay, simple audio, very nice. First time when I clicked my minifarmhand I laughed because of the "YES" sfx :laughing:

Wipe It by BarracudaDisaster 2019-10-07T15:51:05Z

@attala yes, they only take one picture of you. In the future there could be a timer or something so they could snap multiple pictures and you could make it harder for them to to do it by using obstacles or stuff.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! Glad you enjoyed it :)

DREAMS by Ferdi 2019-10-08T13:20:11Z

The idea is great. There's not much to it at the moment but I liked the shapes and the bounciness of everything. And it looked cool when the object grew and bounced from the "dream bubble". There's much potential in the mechanic.

Island Game by aleks 2019-10-07T16:02:47Z

I liked the art style and the music. Controls were very responsive. Interactions worked nicely. Even if the game wasn't quite finished, the mechanics and art were quite impressive. Would've enjoyed to see this as a complete project.

The Defective Detective by Polyethyleneglykol 2019-10-07T15:39:47Z

I think I too have to mention the radio :D A great idea. I also spent way to much time shooting staples :smile: the interaction system and the map on the door was cool. The mouse was a bit tricky for me but it helped when I found the sensitivity slider. Very nice!

The Defective Detective by Polyethyleneglykol 2019-10-07T15:55:11Z

@polyethyleneglykol yes a success indeed! I love to waste my time in games with that kind of random stuff :D And yep it's good that it's in the game world, sits well with the game, and it didn't really take me much time to find it so it's way more innovative than a "classic" menu. Good luck!

Fall of RS-17 Icarus - an Akaban Tale by Kooshy 2019-10-15T07:00:33Z

Great moody game. Nice to see a story-driven Ludum Dare game. Great mystery and it's nice that there's multiple endings. The walking speed is way to slow for me to explore all the endings but the game's a nice take on click and point games. And the puzzles were fun to try to solve.

deathlock by winterbeak 2019-10-15T06:52:13Z

The mechanic is great and clever and the controls are very resposive. I had fun trying to figure out the "death puzzles". Very nice! The boxing gloves were a fun way to kill the character.

Light Chaser by CodeForJoyCaro 2019-10-07T16:54:04Z

nice simple mechanics and the autumn vibe mentioned is great! I like the look and feel of the game. Relaxed but still challenging. I liked the way that you could first grow your ball and then just bash through the deadly ones and survive :D Don't know if it was intended but it was great. Would be interesting to try this on mobile phones or tablets and move the ball by tilting the device. Great game!

Biffus by imhanner 2019-10-11T13:34:04Z

A nice puzzle game! You nicely used the theme and a platformer to combine it to a fun puzzle game with multiple levels. The graphics and audio goes nicely together. And the buttons are very responsive.

Skelebro by Redimension Games 2019-10-10T13:35:28Z

Great controls and platforming! It was a really unexpected and good idea to add a new feture to the other leg the double jumping. Good usage of the theme because you built your own skelebro. Nice graphics and good halloweeny atmoshpere. Nice!

HOBO DAYS by FinnThePirate 2019-10-07T14:48:16Z

The art in the game is excellent. I liked the small detail, the wiggling / tapping toe when you're not moving. The theme usage was great and the game was hard as it should. Very moody, I almost felt sorry for him. The walking speed was a bit too slow for my taste but overall a nice experience! Nice job :)
