LD26 — Minimalism

Squares by bulle 2013-05-04T09:32:00

@tankete: thanks for trying m8. It is a bit tricky and we didnt manage to make a guided start - sorry for that.

About what is seen i would like to add that the circles show the range a given unit has and each unit deals damge to the closest opponent within the range. Therefore it is all about micromanging the units (which is quite difficult given that only one can be selected at a time and there is a delay on the route setting) to outnumber single enemy units. The white units are static objects.

@Rafael Sales: cheers dude :)

LD46 — Keep it alive

By the Sword by wilsk 2020-04-21T11:32:00Z

First off - props for getting something like this out! - There are lot of good mechanics behind. I think you are not that far off having something that is really playable. I tried to play as you described and it took a while before I figured out some of the mechanics. It also seemed (from my perspective, as I was using it) that the cards and combinations could be further tweeked.

Good work :)! - And I think you should develop it further.

Trap In A Cave by Pandakipu 2020-04-23T06:48:48Z

It was really nice - and didn't realize that rats produced such juicy meat... Mechanics work good and at the end I just needed more content :)!

Tomb Flamer by AfroAnt 2020-04-21T07:15:51Z

Thanks for the game. The flow of it was very smooth and I love that kind of pixel-art - well done. It was entertaining to play. My only challenge was to understand progress and if it could be completed - what was the score metric behind it? - It would be cool to have something to baseline against when replaying the game.

LD 46 - Protect the planets by milano23 2020-04-21T08:01:25Z

Thanks for the game. I like this kind of defensive game and it makes a lot of sense. I enjoyed the graphics and it was really nice. It would make it even nicer if it would be possible to have some kind of scoring system and maybe a more progressive difficulty.

Keep up the good work :)!

Flour Baby by kiguel182 2020-04-22T18:57:20Z

Lovely graphics and atmosphere. I though felt sorry for the dude while at gym class - this is regular tough schooling...

The controls work great (though I had some hitbox problems in the third level) and the game gives the atmosphere of really caring for this flour in such a crazy situation.

Keep up the good work :)!

Rebutia by 43sam 2020-04-22T12:52:32Z

Good game!

I liked a lot the animation of sliding and the sounds that came with it - and good to be very precise on the scoring :)!

What An Alien Addiction! by jaywoody 2020-04-21T12:15:15Z

Great game! - I really enjoyed it. I really got into problems when the trash filled and I realized apples are the lesser filling evil. I though still am not sure that if I hadn't been serving the alien, whether I would have been kept alive ...

Keep up the work!

The Drown by Simon Rahnasto 2020-04-23T07:03:47Z

Great game! I like a lot the sound effects that accompanied the game well. A Hollywood twist that the insecure private becomes the savior. The graphics are impressive within a JAM. Keep it up :)

The Ill Divinity by Solah 2020-04-21T12:00:24Z

Great game. It got me into the mood and I liked the logic of boosting the defenders when having the heal aura. It is really a nice platformer. One thing that could be improved is the guidance of where to go - it would be nice to have an idea of what awaits in the next room.

Keep up the good work :)!

Keep the Reef by maaxoom 2020-04-22T19:09:07Z

Cozy game with a nice atmosphere. Sound would help be a real plus and it could be super nice with the sweet graphics.

Save Satan by SimonTheCase 2020-04-21T11:45:33Z

Really nice job. Satan needs saving, and there is no doubt about that! - I really like the mechanic of working in directions and the delay that you have when you do it. Would be nice to add some context on top like who is after satan, types of enemies, etc. - to get the atmosphere even more going. But great entry.

Zhoot IT by CG_Fred 2020-04-21T11:36:37Z

Great game! - I like running around shooting and I really like the physics behind bullets flying and the energy cube pick-ups. Keep up the good work.

Keep Her Happy by OrciFried 2020-04-21T07:37:29Z

That was refreshing. Nice done - it is really a treat to sit and write nice things to a flower. I though have to admit that this was a lesson in life for me - I have to be kinder :)!

Life Plug by JuanJ7 2020-04-22T13:51:03Z

Thanks for the game. I liked the mood and the atmosphere - and the twist of resurrection. I had some problems with the controls where it kind a got stuck and the mouse pointer jumped. A minimap would do a world of difference. Great entry and keep up the work :)!

Open Fire! by Amazura 2020-04-22T13:36:38Z

Really mood setting game with those nice graphics combined with good sounds. I though have to say that it was kind of a pleasure to hammer down that many keys on my mechanical keyboard xD!

Doomsday Deliveries by Human Writes Code 2020-04-22T12:46:49Z

That drone that saved the humanity had a hard time! - I like the graphic and I think it fits very well with the sounds that you have added to it. I think the difficulty is fair though reading is a bit of a hassle - would be a cool upgrade to make the task graphic. I think the mood of the game is good and I think by adding a score system + some progressive increase in difficulty, this would have been really fun to try to beat previous scores :). - Thanks for the game.

Work from home - rat battle! by knason 2020-05-06T08:51:21Z

Nice arcade game :)! - Ended up with 445$ - like a lot that it has the arcade feeling where you look for small changes to know where to go next.

Bodyguard for Chicken by Aret24 2020-04-22T12:37:11Z

That was pretty cool. What I really liked was the atmosphere that you got into the game with the selection of camera lens. One funny feature is the reloading - I managed to lose the chicken multiple times but it was quite nice. :)

Bun-o-gotchi by m110 2020-04-22T13:29:38Z

This brings me back! - I like what you have done with it and I have to admit that it was harder to keep them alive than I first thought. I managed to get 2 going but more than that seemed impossible. I liked the graphics a lot :)!

A Torch in the Cave by snesgaard 2020-04-21T08:14:16Z

Great game - love the pixel art graphics :)!

FTL ON by rolferm 2020-04-22T13:52:23Z

I like the concept and the simple graphics - powerful stuff ;)!

Friendly Fire by very dark lord 2020-04-22T13:22:55Z

Great game - I really enjoyed it. The sound fits perfectly with the game and it is impressive the amount of story that is put into it - though I still don't trust the stone...

Keep the Princess Alive by Fernando Tonon de Rossi 2020-04-23T12:48:49Z

Cute game :)! - I can totally relate to the feeling of just wanting to try out something and then not have time to make all the scope intended for the game - your web assembly skills will take you further next time!

Disco Boy by Llamallove 2020-04-22T14:12:02Z

Great game! - Good atmosphere and nice game play. I think I might grow a fear of balls ...

Bloody Fantastic by mikejzx 2020-04-22T11:51:44Z

Really fun! - I never managed to get more than 70 points, but then again - I am not meant for keeping mammals alive! :)

I think for me, it was a bit difficult to hit the right tube (maybe on purpose?) - it was more like that I clicked and it skipped one.

Keep up the good work!

CHARGER! by Symphonia 2020-04-22T19:04:18Z

Nice little game. I can totally relate to this ... Has happened to me before that I used the cable as bookmark... Next time a full fletched implementation of a game :)

Both or Nothing by victor_reiner 2020-04-21T11:53:48Z

Really nice job. I enjoyed a lot the atmosphere with the music and graphics. It must really suck to get stucked like that...

Feed Me More! by Itskdog 2020-04-21T08:22:12Z

Super game. I like the idea and how difficult it actually is to manage it the further down the line you get. The voices you make are really setting the mood and I would have loved to hear the monster complain even more and in all kinds of ways.

RobotDefender by RexGame 2020-04-22T18:47:51Z

Neat TD game :). I like the blocking part and the graphics. I didn't get any sound even though the category is up for rating? I think it would make a lot of sense to be way more progressive on the levels since it got a bit too easy when you are getting it under control.

Keep up the good work :)!game_upload.PNG

Competition of Living by bulle 2020-04-21T06:56:45Z

@bereg; Life is tough. A good point with the tool tips - I realize looking at it again, it is a bit confusing. - You know the thing that you have your head all in on it and the logic is just there - but then again, it's only in your head. The topmost one (I guess you refer to progress) is about how your life is progressing and going (study, work, etc.).

Competition of Living by bulle 2020-04-22T11:53:30Z

@aret24 Thanks :)! I think the graphics could have made it more interesting - I mean, gradient was sort of a last resort - you should have seen my development colors! - And not selling drugs is a good thing - bad for cash flow though...

Competition of Living by bulle 2020-04-22T11:55:27Z

@43sam Thanks. With the events, it was my implementation that was wrong. I first made a way where I could add events and then they would only play once. Then I realized that Grandma might want to visit more than once. Issue was then that I had to many events and they were not weighted so I added more events - I realize that the random selection with above implementation issues might look weird xD!

Competition of Living by bulle 2020-04-22T11:57:48Z

@Solah 60 days is really good! - I had my wife run it through multiple time and she managed to get a bit higher (in the 70s) but not that much. And thanks for the input on feedback - just looked through it and replayed it and I agree - just some sounds and vibration would do a whole lot. To be honest, this was never on my backlog of stuff to do but it might have been something easy to do and get live - this is noted for the next time up :)!

Competition of Living by bulle 2020-04-27T08:31:48Z

@luckyfeathers Thanks for playing :)! Yeah, I know - was a last time saving - would have loved to make other in game sounds and vibes :)

@cg-fred Thanks for playing it and the feedback :). And was a pleasure playing your game as well :).

@fernando-tonon-de-rossi Hahaha, a bit short song for an all day repeat :P! Thanks, and thanks for playing :)

Competition of Living by bulle 2020-05-06T08:44:29Z

@knason Thanks a lot :)

Gerald's dog by Ikrad 2020-04-21T07:38:05Z

Thanks for the game.

It is tough work to keep a dog alive and it kind a succeeded :). I like the concept of many games in it and the mechanics that you have incorporated. It seemed like the difficulty of the simulation was constant - is that correctly understood?

It would be nice to add some scoring and some indicators of different parameters on the main screen. - I can see now on the screen shots that it was the windows build not loading them for me...

Magic Mirror Delivery Service by Zerion 2020-04-23T12:07:03Z

Great game! Impressive that you managed to create that many different levels with different mechanics that are actually challenging but yet possible. The graphics are great and it really gives a neat atmosphere.

Maintenance by bereg 2020-04-21T07:08:07Z

Thanks for the experience. I have to say that it really got me in to the mood (just before starting work today) that "what is the point of anything"? - I like the fact that you can do nothing - it would have been cool if you were making the illusion bigger - more choices, more tweeking, and yet, same result.

Firepower by POBIX 2020-04-22T13:57:36Z

Nice game and great entry. The sounds work really well with the game. The mechanics are good. One thing; there is something going one when you multifire and hit where it is lagging heavily (like stopping) - maybe your game loop could use some tweeking :)! Keep up the good work.

Stand Still by Draelent 2020-04-21T11:24:06Z

Nice little game :)! - I was first very confused of why I was dying until I discovered that the levels also kill! - A progress system would somehow be nice. There were a few problems with the hitboxes - especially if you moved shortly before the death from above came.

Keep up the good work :)!
