LD46 — Keep it alive

Stranded by KunoNoOni 2020-04-21T00:13:55Z

Great job! I really like that this is a worker placement game stripped down to the basics and streamlined as a video game.

Pupper Truckers by tweedle 2020-04-21T23:22:02Z

I liked that it was a tower defense game, but where it didn't feel static because the tower was a truck.

Keep Away by infinitycore 2020-04-21T02:50:53Z

This was a terrific way to combine 2D and 3D graphics. The motivation to leave the tower was also a good twist on tower defense-like mechanics. +1 for the Monty Python references in the title image!

The Holy Chicken by multiplexor 2020-04-26T00:44:33Z

I like the game, especially the idea of passing the baton to yourself. I didn't understand why I would throw the chicken when not passing it off. Maybe that could make the running faster because you don't have the chicken? The unskippable title and story animation were rather long, especially for a jam game. Nice graphics and use of bloom.

Fridge Helper by ristoretto 2020-04-22T23:50:45Z

Great compromise between simplicity and complexity in both the mechanics and the art style. It comes off as polished and intentionally a "fun" style instead of looking like a jam game.

Street Flight by Bloody_xDlol 2020-04-20T23:33:47Z

3D flappy bird! Nice job. It definitely brought a smile and was worth several plays. Good job on the 3D graphics and leaderboard.

Deal With Those Papers by MoweMax 2020-04-20T23:38:19Z

I liked the contrast of 3D graphics and 2D characters and the papers exploding was funny.

Mage or Trouble by SynysterCola 2020-04-22T04:09:08Z

That is a lot of game for a jam. Bravo! Cutscenes, battle mechanics, actual characters...this was a ton of work and polish. I really liked it.

Remember, Apollo by AdamCYounis 2020-04-24T01:02:35Z

Unbelievably good. This is an IGF finalist level game from a jam. The graphics, the storytelling, the mechanics...it was simple to play, interesting, and deep. Bravo! 5's all around.

Snail Crossing: Lucky Lefty Lives?! by TheBookSnail 2020-04-21T00:19:03Z

The butt took me a second to understand, and then I started laughing uncontrollably. Congratulations!

Last keeper by Tatyana 2020-04-21T05:51:06Z

This was a great single-player take on Spaceteam. I couldn't compete the minigame that required pushing both mouse buttons as I was on a laptop with a trackpad that only allowed one or the other.

Infermum by Brandon Gonzalez 2020-04-20T23:42:15Z

I REALLY appreciate that you added instructions which come up while playing. Perfect for a jam/browser game!

moss by niceden 2020-04-21T02:55:03Z

Beautiful! Really terrific mood and use of text + pixel art.

Can Adequately Generate Charge, C.A.G.E. for short! by Izokia 2020-04-22T04:12:22Z

Good job! Congratulations on completing your first jam, and on a creative take on the theme.

Across the Lake by stephan steinbach 2020-04-21T02:52:31Z

Thank you! I made the quadplay engine, so I'm too biased to give you a fair response. Try [it yourself](https://github.com/morgan3d/quadplay) and see. It runs well on Raspberry Pi 4 at full res and can do lower res (like 192x112) on older Pis.
