LD39 — Running out of Power

What remains of Project 424 [HTC Vive Only] by Yaroslav Kravtsov 2017-08-03T10:31:44Z

Nice game! It's fun. Unfontunately it doesn't really fit into the theme, and it is a bit too easy for my taste (maybe needing to reload or only being able to sprint for a few seconds would help).

Riddle Or Die! [VR] by drumsmasher17 2017-08-03T10:09:52Z

Nice game! The timer was a little tight (at least for me ;D) so I had to rely on getting the same riddles again to get through. But the mood was nice and the graphics are appealing too! :)

Climate Clicker by Burgee 2017-08-01T03:33:32Z

Ha, we had a similar idea when we were brainstorming! Great to see somebody had the same idea. Cool game!

Caffeine Raid by Cataractar 2017-08-01T03:04:42Z

@pbg Glad to hear you liked it! Yes, you have to burn a lot of Caffeine to be fast enough to be able to escape, and even then you have to trick the AI, which takes a little bit getting used to :) We tried to encourage stealth, and trying to not be seen, instead of always being able to run away

Caffeine Raid by Cataractar 2017-08-01T17:13:37Z

@pixel-game-wizard The sounds were generated with sfxr. Unfortunately we didn't have the time to make some background music for the game. We lowered the lighting towards the end of the jam! Yes, it is a bit hard to see the instant coffee when they are lying in the shadow. We probably didn't realize that because we knew where the spawn locations are. Oh well. :D

Caffeine Raid by Cataractar 2017-08-02T08:23:45Z

@zee Yep, we also encountered the main menu bug, but couldn't find the cause. It seems to happen less on the Windows version. We somehow didn't realize the first bug. Actually, E also works for interacting, it shouldn't happen when using that key. I'll look into it later today. Thank you for the bug report!

EDIT: With your info I was able to reliably reproduce the bug! I've uploaded a fixed build. THANK YOU! :)

LD42 — Running out of space

GRAVEDIGGER - A final stand by Lavinski 2018-08-14T13:19:09Z

Pretty good game!

Very interesting take on the theme. I always thought I was doing pretty good, but once the level is too small to dodge the it is over pretty fast :D.

Two things I missed: - Camera adjusting to where you aim. - Zombies/Bullets being affected by walls. This would have made the different levels a bit more interesting. Since the player is the only thing affected by walls, it makes buildings (like the mansion in the last level) pretty unappealing, and the church level pretty hard. ;D

Nevertheless, nice game!

LD45 — Start with nothing

Invasion by gwinnell 2019-10-08T20:11:29Z

Nice! Not too long, not too short. The music was great, some SFX for the three actions would have been nice though.

Invasion by gwinnell 2019-10-08T20:41:20Z

@gwinnell I've tested it again. The sounds were exactly what I had in mind! :D

Mergem by Elnu 2019-10-08T21:06:18Z

Nice Game! It's a nice concept, but the level-based design felt a bit restricting, especially since the game was relatively short. The sound and music fitted in nicely.

Dice Dungeon by Momori 2019-10-08T19:14:03Z

The speed of the spinner was ok in my opinion. Visuals and audio were great! I encountered a bug though: Sometimes, I rolled a 0 (no movement, -1 move and the field I'm standing on was reapplied). Fun little game overall! :)

Fairytiles by fre 2019-10-10T21:39:05Z

My favourite until now. Some sound (even if it's only some samples that are played when typing) or music would make this perfect!

Post mortem - last 30 sec life's memories by PabloTitan 2019-10-08T19:57:11Z

I tried several times to find a good memory. Are there only bad memories? :(

I liked the mood. The audio got sometimes a bit messy when the memories were clustered too close.

LD46 — Keep it alive

Mutiny by Cataractar 2020-04-22T14:00:22Z

@purpledartfrog @lauramakesgames Thanks for the bug reports! We've released a fixed version.

Mutiny by Cataractar 2020-04-22T14:00:29Z

@magus77 Well, it's not on the Play Store, but we've added a simple Android port to the page!

Mutiny by Cataractar 2020-04-22T22:19:24Z

@sanjana The game uses the average morale to calculate the mutiny meter increase, so if e.g. 2 sailors have full morale while 2 others have empty morale, you are still fine.

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

D.N.N. Engineer by wujood 2021-04-26T22:25:49Z

Very nice! We also considered making something related to Deep Neural Networks, but decided to do something else. Great idea, great execution! Audio could be better though, got a bit annoying after a while.

NO SIGNAL by olaron 2021-04-27T09:11:21Z

That was an experience :D Great audio and interesting visuals!

I would have liked a fullscreen mode.

Into Debt by darqweful 2021-04-27T09:00:30Z

Fun game and interesting idea! Reminded me of the game "Orwell".

Cavebop by LukeTobin 2021-04-26T22:40:43Z

As @pepper-boi mentioned: It was a bit tedious. Either the levels were easy enough to randomly dig through, or you had to memorize everything to be able to solve it.

Besides that, it is a neat idea though!
