LD46 — Keep it alive

1000 Miles Drive by ashtheevil 2020-04-21T15:54:53Z

Nice game, i think it is well balanced. lost when there was 105 miles left. It would probably be better if it was endless, so you had a reason to go back and play it (to beat your highscore). Simple idea (which is not bad in any way), reminds of a game i once played.

Blood Oath by alexhonor 2020-04-22T19:07:30Z

Wow that pixel art is amazing! I really like the combat as well, i was playing on keyboard and i could imagine gamepad could feel better. :-) I think maybe using the mouse to drag which way to dash the enemy, would feel very satisfying. I also felt like i was hitting them a lot where nothing happened, i don't know if that was a bug. The audio is very good, and you don't find a lot of games in the jam, where they spend time on audio. Really good game, and has potential to be a lot bigger

For Ducks' Sake by GaryS 2020-04-22T19:20:01Z

That is some well made pixel art you got there, i especially enjoyed to gnome dying animation. I love the gameplay, though i am not a big fan of you only can shoot in 8 directions, but i guess that comes with the "90s arcade" feel. Great job, i managed to get 15000 before my ducklings died. I did have a bug in my first playthrough, where my duck just started walking right even though i didn't press d, so i had to counter it with pressing a all the time. Really nice game though, ESPECIALLY the graphics.

Keep It Alive by mhykah 2020-04-22T18:55:51Z

Hahah, first game im giving a high humor score. The graphics matched the game perfectly, and the gameplay is simple yet fun. Well done :-)

Keep Joe Alive by Sanguis 2020-04-21T21:30:00Z

Very nice pixel art, and the gameplay is also fun. I do think it's a little hard to see what obstacles you are avoiding. Good game though :-)

Commodore Commander by Alex_ADEdge 2020-04-22T12:07:25Z

Wow very cool graphics and UI! The idea is really great and so is the execution, and you managed to make graphics that fits the game very well.

Courier of Fire by Balgorode 2020-04-21T00:37:33Z

Nice game, love the idea and the execution. Some parts were a little hard, because you could't reach further out than the resolution when shooting. But i made it though! Awesome game, well done

You Live Like This? by LurkinMcClerkin 2020-04-21T15:17:02Z

Nice game, fits the theme and the graphics are cool. I like the little extra gameplay were you have to fix the computer. Though it happens two times in a row which made me lose, lol. Good work though!

Garden Royale by Nyamah 2020-04-21T15:25:40Z

Very cool game, it was pretty easy though :-) I like the idea, and that gun sprite is amazing! Could be a fun multiplayer game to play with friends. And audio could do a whole lot for the game, as i had no idea where i was attacked from :-)

Gravelighter by radow 2020-04-21T20:20:40Z

Nice game, with a scary atmosphere.. And i of course love the concept, (great minds thing a like) :-) Its a lot harder than mine, and i couldn't finish, but i liked it anyway. The assets are nice, i especially liked the house with the red light in the background, very eerie! I would probably add a more scary death that fits the rest of the atmosphere, but non the less i really liked it.

Sunlit by palsina 2020-04-21T21:24:53Z

This is probably the most original and fun game i have played yet in this game jam. The gameplay is very satisfying, and the procedural generated branches is very well done! You werent kidding when u commented my game about how you love light mechanics, your game does it very well! Im gonna be shocked if you aren't in the top of the themes category, well done :)

The Big Man of Purgatory by dnich013 2020-04-21T13:30:43Z

Hey man, really nice game with a cool concept. At the start i thought it was a little bit to hard and frustrating to push the heroes in while they were moving, or was clustered together, but i managed to get 11 sacrifices! I really like the idea, and of course it is hard to balance a game in such a short time. I don't even know if mine is. But i really liked it, and i see a lot of potential in the concept, and the way you executed it.

RUSSIAN VIP by VIBROMATIC 2020-04-21T16:31:54Z

Nice colors, and love the music haha. Reminds of hotline miami which i love.

My inners are ours by AguaHervida 2020-04-23T12:10:15Z

Great game, love the art! Exciting gameplay, but as previously said, checkpoints would be nice ;) Love the player animations. Well done

MyTube by backurio 2020-04-21T16:29:58Z

Very original arcade/tycoon game. Loved the simple controls, and the gameplay feels satisfying. I didn't really know if the troll icons were a good thing, or if you should avoid them. Graphics are amazing too. Good work!

Keep The Runner Alive by Life_Lich 2020-04-21T15:47:33Z

NICE GAME! Probably the game i spend most time on, on this website. Love the idea, and did all 4 levels. Though it was a little annoying that i couldn't delete just one piece, and had to delete them all if i put one in the wrong place. 5/5 though

It's Not Rocket Science by Gallahron 2020-04-23T12:04:14Z

Nice, love space games! It's very difficult, but in a good way. The use of the gravity mechanic is original, and makes fun gameplay. In the start i just put a lot of gravity wells, but quickly found out filling the scene with them made me die more easily later. I don't know if it is a bug, but sometimes my spaceship would point in a new direction without any gravity affecting it. But still liked it. Great job

Hard Beat by FinnThePirate 2020-04-21T15:34:24Z

Nice game, a game can get a long way with good controls, which you have. I did stumble into a bug though, i don't know how it happened, but the player got stuck under the collider you walk on. so i kinda moved around under the viruses and couldn't do anything. Nice game though :-)

A Fairy Tale by pixnpickstudio 2020-04-23T12:23:57Z

That is a very well polished game! Got a "Limbo" kind of feel to it, but with more detailed assets. I like the gameplay too, though i was a little confused of what to do besides lighting the posts which created bridges. Im pretty sure i died, but i couldn't really tell how to continue. So maybe guide the player a little bit more? Maybe it's just me who is bad so it wont affect my ratings, but i really like that it is storydriven! The font could be a little more clear though. But nice game, great mood!

Keep it burning! by Kevin Meissner 2020-04-21T00:33:18Z

Haha very good! My game is also about keeping the light on to hold away the darkness ;)

Keep a Plant by KDgame 2020-04-21T00:40:21Z

Awesome game! Simple fun and addicting, congratulation on your first published game

DON`T DIE STAY ALIVE! by PenguinBob 2020-04-22T11:36:13Z

Very fun, great for mobile. Could probably be a lot of fun with a bigger grid on pc :-) Good work

Lights Out by Aspect11 2020-04-21T00:50:44Z

Nice horror game! It's the same concept (and name) as mine, so can't do anything other than love it

Captured by OtisDev 2020-04-22T11:47:57Z

Hey man, nice game! Really good for a twelve years old :-) Reminds me of the vr game Pistol Whip, which i enjoy a lot. For future improvements, the accuracy of the gun could be better, as you have to aim lower than what you intend to hit. It's a really good thing you start making games so early, you are gonnna be a programming master in a few years. Well done on the entry and good luck!!

Resquack by SorgardTeam 2020-04-22T19:29:50Z

Haha loved it, great idea. Though i did feel like a little to much was happening in the scene at once (snow, water, trees holes), which is not a problem, but maybe better in later levels. The scene just looked a little chaotic with all the different assets. Maybe try to use some colors that match better together? Also the manhole colliders could be a little smaller, as i kept falling down in them, even though i was right next to them. Other than that i really enjoyed. It felt very satisfying picking up the ducks and having them follow you. Adorable game, spend a solid 15 min playing it, and probably try again some other time :-)

Tumbleweed by Brenan 2020-04-21T17:57:26Z

Wow those assets are amazing. Good job, no wonder if you are going to win for best graphics. And you even had the time to make a awesome cutscene at the end. Gameplay is a little bit boring, but it also seems like its more about storytelling. Very original, well done

Save Your Wife! by Sparsha Dhar 2020-04-22T11:52:48Z

Nice game, really good graphics! I really like the sound design as well. It is also well polished. Well done.

Lights Out by Batswinger 2020-04-21T19:17:29Z

@radow Hey man, i will try your game for sure! I actually didn't think about the "keep your right hand to the wall" thing, but i will definently think about that for the next map. Glad you liked the game, i will go play yours!

Lights Out by Batswinger 2020-04-23T12:29:54Z

Thank you everyone for playing and liking the game!! It's very motivating finally getting people to play the game, even though it is a little bit forced ;)

@deadboygames Glad you liked it, the game could use some work to make it more interesting i agree. But great suggestion with the speed changing according to the intensity of the light! @lamossus Yes more puzzles would make it more fun, which is the first thing i am adding next :))

And THANK YOU for all the suggestions and feedback! I am thinking of making a larger game out of this concept, so feel free to come with suggestions to what could make the game better!

ENGORGE by Slothtimistic 2020-04-21T14:57:26Z

Nice game, cool idea. I would probably make it a little bit more fast paced, and some more ways to attack. But its's limited what you can do in 3 days, so i love it non the less! Good work, it has a lot of potential :-)

Keep it Lit by canonicalfunctor 2020-04-22T18:45:39Z

Cool game, shares some similarities with my own game actually! I really like the idea the controls feels a little bit slow though. But great entry

Purple Thing! by 3LSTMsInATrenchcoat 2020-04-21T15:05:21Z

I really like the idea, unfortunatly i could't make it past the first two obstacles. when i jumped i had a hard time making it to the other side and catch the purple thing. Maybe its just me, but i really love the idea though.

The Dark Cave by Tom Stephenson 2020-04-22T12:00:19Z

Good job on the game, very Limbo inspired i guess. I think it's a little to easy to just run through it all, but i really like the sound mechanic. I was a little confused at the start, if i was picking up the stones, but i found out that they were just lose gravel that made noise when walking on them? The concept is very promising, and the mood is very good.

Stand Still by Draelent 2020-04-23T12:14:58Z

Great simple game. And you made you first game in 7 hours?? Good job! Turned out great with fun gameplay. If course more could be added, but you probably know that, it's limited what you can do in this timespan!
