LD42 — Running out of space

Void by LatchGameDev 2018-08-14T18:49:37Z

Interesting concept but I ran into a few bugs and it could have been a bit more polished.

LD46 — Keep it alive

Locked'goshi by StabAlarash 2020-04-20T22:41:08Z

Super fun game! Great use of the theme and no doubt a 5/5 on the graphics from me. Gameplay is simple, yet at the same time complex. I really like how you added deliveries, working, buying food, etc, to really make it more interesting.

Just a little planet by pandanymous 2020-04-20T22:32:23Z

Neat little game. The graphics are really nice, but I think this game really needed a tutorial as it took me awhile to grasp what I was meant to do.

Keep It Ticking! by auxC 2020-04-21T00:41:06Z

Amazing game. It's so satisfying how you make just a tiny bit of progress each run and restart to build upon that progress. Visuals are great and so is the overall gameplay. Could have used some music, but overall an awesome game.

Keep the light alive by MaximBegunov 2020-04-21T20:16:28Z

This game was challenging but really cool! The mood is also really nice and you should be proud.

Interesting concept. Took me awhile to get the hang of it, but when I did it was pretty cool. I also really liked the simple, yet pleasing graphics. Some of the text was a little blurry so since I see that you are using Unity, I would highly recommend trying out TextMeshPro to get much clearer text.

goose no lose by Kultisti 2020-04-22T12:16:34Z

Overall really nice game. I wish I could have held down the move key to keep on moving, but it's not too big of a deal. I also really like the simple graphics.

Polygons of Light by Poulpint 2020-04-22T12:29:24Z

Really liked this game. Initially I was confused by the moving mechanic but I got the hang of it eventually. The graphics fit this game perfectly and the music is also great.

Me: Tree! by Groggi 2020-04-23T23:31:46Z

I loved the graphics. A little confusing at first but nice idea.

Unended by slotha 2020-04-21T02:03:58Z

This game is very well polished and cool! The graphics are simple yet pleasing. It would have been great to have some music but it's still overall a really cool and addicting game.

Quest for Cake by Juutis 2020-04-20T12:24:35Z

This was a really cool game. I really liked the simple graphics and how the dog would just try so hard to eat anything in its path. As said before me, a little difficult in some sections but overall really good job.

Slimekeep by BenBonk 2020-04-20T12:01:48Z

Yeah I forgot to hit the public button on itch so sorry about that, but the link should be working now

Slimekeep by BenBonk 2020-04-23T11:52:18Z

@babyking I agree. Going back I wished I enforced the theme a little more, possibly having the player be punished for killing small slimes, and slowing down the spawn rate, or something like that to really make you have to keep them alive. Nice suggestions.

Slimekeep by BenBonk 2020-04-26T01:05:50Z

@igor-kingamer I had issues with that also while testing, I thought I fixed it but I guess not. :/ Thanks for letting me know.

EDIT - Just fixed the issue in an unreleased build. I ended up making the raycast width of the bullet larger, if that makes sense to you. Thanks again for bringing up the issue.

FL0W3R by oda 2020-04-21T20:36:45Z

Took me quite awhile to grasp how the game worked. Overall nice visuals and slow paced but interesting gameplay.

K33P1T4L1V3 by alininavcisi 2020-04-20T12:41:23Z

Totally my kind of game. Very interesting take on the theme and I love the papers please/decryption kind of feeling. The game did feel a little repetitive after awhile but still overall very good job.

Keep the beat alive by Dukes 2020-04-20T16:00:53Z

Very cool game! I really liked the mechanic and I thought it was overall very original. Nice graphics and audio too.

Flower Defense by Tyrael 2020-04-21T15:18:12Z

Great game! Not only does it have a story, but the gameplay is really fun and cool. It was also super nice to have a final boss fight. I also loved the graphics/mood. Great job.

Key Saver by PlugWorldG 2020-04-21T11:51:51Z

Hey it's BenBonk, I don't know if you remember me from the last ScoreSpace Jam. I really liked this game it was a super solid platformer. I loved the art, chiptune music, and how well polished it was. Sometimes I wish the camera was a little bigger and I may have encountered a glitch or two, but still it was a blast to play! Great job.

Fordhill by Ethan Losten 2020-04-21T20:18:53Z

Neat game, the attacking was a little difficult to pull off which added to the difficulty but still a really cool concept.

Rock Raiser by SpliceDev 2020-04-20T16:50:22Z

I like the idea of physically keeping something alive and this game totally fits the theme. It's really slow paced and little repetitive but still an interesting concept.

DR U's Magic Medicine by Adam Clayden 2020-04-23T01:22:58Z

Neat little game. Gameplay is simple yet I enjoyed the experience. Nice job.

Plant Boy by cannedveg 2020-04-26T02:29:25Z

This game is really neat. Love the graphics and gameplay.

Pirabbit by TimeTravelHamster 2020-04-22T20:40:23Z

Really fun game. Loved the graphics and the the backgrounds.

Therapy by ZEZEL 2020-04-22T12:24:54Z

Saw the thumbnail. Had to click. Great game 10/10 -IGN.

Batteries Included by Michael Prentice 2020-04-20T16:24:58Z

Very solid game overall. The music nice, graphics are really well done and the main mechanic is really cool and interesting. One problem I had was that the level design was a little too easy for me. I tended to get past every level on my first few tries, though I do understand it was hard to make such difficult levels in such a short period of time. There are some really cool level design choices though. Overall this is a really well done, short platformer.

Flamebearer by HolySparks 2020-04-20T16:17:02Z

I think this is a really cool concept for a game and the graphics are really good, but unfortunately blurry(I would maybe try disabling anti aliasing on them somehow). For sure it's a little rough around the edges, but the idea is there and I think the flame mechanic is really cool, kind of like risk-reward. I could totally see this being a full release with some tweaks and balancing.

Logan by Matt Greenbury 2020-04-23T23:37:08Z

Loved the graphics and mood. The audio also really added to the game. I think the gameplay could use some overall improvements, but nice job.

Steve: Cute & Hungry by JuiceGrape 2020-04-21T20:33:27Z

This game was a blast. Really interesting idea and great execution. I really wish there was some music to complement it but still overall a really interesting and engaging puzzle game.

Memories by Artaupossum 2020-04-20T17:15:44Z

Love the simplistic art and music. Its very short and the gameplay is a little plain, but it tells a nice story. It would be really cool if you wanted to expand the game because I think there is potential in it. Just a note I had to restart due to me edging through the bush next to the lake which sends you out of bounds and forces you to restart, but it wasn't too big of a problem.

Lightlife by Merpui 2020-04-22T12:21:38Z

I loved the idea of balance in this game. The mood is also really nice and the game's visuals are neat. I personally wasn't too big of the audio though, but the gameplay makes up for it. Nice job.

pestilentia by ATTX 2020-04-21T02:10:51Z

Graphics are totally my style. The gameplay is addicting and I love the mechanic of dragging around things to protect the people. The physics can act a little strange at times but still this was a really cool and innovative game.
