LD46 — Keep it alive

Spirit of Resistance by arzi 2020-04-21T09:20:15Z

I really loved the graphics & setting, you made a lot of the minesweeper mechanics and chose some nicely fitting sound & music. Did not get why I was thrown out of hacking sometimes, but I could just start hacking again as long as the city wasn't taken over. Earth rotation is glitchy sometimes, especially jumping quite a bit when rotating vertically.

Really nice outcome for the compo, good job! Found myself checking out the crew regularly, nice sim touch and feel. Add more meat to it, like crew dynamics & actions, and I would play it again for sure :)

Not too deep, but a nice combination of attacks/movement dynamics to keep it entertaining. It had me smiling as well, so humor points granted too :)

Excellent focus and execution, fits the theme 100% and doesn't waste attention to anything but the core. Additionally the graphics match nicely and look polished for a jam, difficulty also seems properly balanced to me. Well done!

Nicely crafted, story rich piece for a jam - well done! Liked the humor as well, kept me busy and entertained the longest for LD46 so far.

So far this is my favorite of LD46, innovative but simple gameplay & puzzle mechanics. Sound/graphics/pace are nicely balanced, relaxing and stressful at the same time. One thing I didn't get is if the light coming in from behind made any difference. It made me hurry in any case though, so there's that :smile:

Graphics style is fantastic, platform collision/jump space could need some fine-tuning so it's a bit more forgiving. Overall a fun game with nice mood & aesthetics :thumbsup:

Really nice graphics! Gameplay is not too deep but challenging, controls could be a bit more forgiving sometimes. Good job! :)

Really like the look & feel, after playing for a while I got into a certain flow - I think that's because I quite like the smooth movement and reaction. Only thing I didn't like was the music, got a bit annoying after a while. I would have liked to hear something more simple or abstract maybe? A bit less "The Rock" movie dramatic at least :smile:

@diminok Yeah, coffee machine is totally lacking feedback whatsoever - it simply speeds up time and helps with combos/angry tasks.

Keep IT Alive by bollwerk 2020-04-21T10:44:36Z

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

@qux BSOD: Yes - excuse the pun, but *RTFM* aka it is mentioned in "How To Play?" :smile:

@leeloo Glad to hear you enjoyed it :smile:

We did plan to include an "endless" mode with some kind of life restriction but we couldn't decide on the details in time, so the time limitation stayed in place.

@jmad Thanks for the feedback! You're not the first to mention this, so we tuned down the volume here and there.
