LD44 — Your life is currency

Life Business by jk5000 2019-04-29T18:13:34Z

Had a lot of fun with this! I was able to get to 8 weeks. The music was relaxing and chill, perfect for setting the mood and your lighthearted voice over fit the relaxed and fun vibe. "You are dead" was a personal fav :joy: . I enjoyed the simple graphics, this all added up to a strong mood. I could see this developing into a bigger project with more mechanics, simple but still very difficult and a lot of fun! Great work!

The Current Sea by khaotom 2019-04-29T06:54:13Z

Really enjoyed the concept even when I had to take blind leaps of faith. The core concept is strong but I don't see its connection to the theme -- maybe Your Time is Currency? Great mood.

CrazyAmbulance by C64Gamer 2019-04-30T05:36:25Z

Haha this was a lot of fun, really funny scenario to playout!

Idle Idol by Daniel Moreno 2019-04-30T04:21:10Z

Loved the graphics and audio. Very chill and addictive. Started playing and next thing you know I've filled up the entire screen and clicked that 1500 times. Great work!

ALIEN, e x p a n s i o n . by Jaxson Van Doorn 2019-04-29T16:15:10Z

The art and music is fantastic! I had hard time seeing what I was shooting or why I was being hit but I think this has a strong basis for being something cool, good work!

Purple Dimension by XCVZXC 2019-04-29T16:34:50Z

I had a lot of fun playing! The particle effects when killing enemies and breaking windows was satisfying and the ai was simple yet still difficult when faced with the constraints of the room (in a good way). Loved that I felt like John McClane vs aliens! Great work!

Curfe by Kajetan Andrzejak 2019-04-29T21:28:29Z

Love the style, the minimalism, jump really well thought out, great overall design.

DISREGARD LIFE, ACQUIRE CURRENCY by notb 2019-04-29T06:23:35Z

Very beautiful game, loved the moon and the little cat! The ocean is so pretty when sped up. Had great mood.

Sweet Squish by Dvlv 2019-04-29T19:28:32Z

Funny take on the theme. I had a friend who would play candy crush and constantly put her phone in the future to play more :joy:

The Woods Without Life by SpeedFrame 2019-04-29T19:42:29Z

Fun little game had a childhood charm to it.

EnigmaDeath by DigitalLimestone 2019-04-29T07:06:09Z

Really great take on the them, love the idea of spending your actual lives on things! The jump was hard to control going from stopped to full speed quickly but a good start!

Bloodlust by Danga 2019-04-29T06:31:55Z

Love the controller support! Great art style and you nailed the tutorial. This is very polished and the enemies movement definitely made this fun. Cool play on the theme, great work!

ORBid by Martynas 2019-05-02T23:14:22Z

This was a lot of fun and a really cool take on the theme. I played for levels and levels, very addictive, great mechanic!

Material Cube by chawls_v 2019-04-29T06:37:15Z

@jaxson-van-doorn Thank you, glad you like the aesthetic! @star-garden Bahhh thanks, I really appreciate that! As for the jumping, oh no! At least it is very hard to time so props to anyone who can tap into this advanced technique ;). I could only recreate the bug in a specific scenario. Passed the deadline so can't fix, but thank you for playing and I hope you got to see the end :)

Material Cube by chawls_v 2019-04-29T06:44:32Z

@attala Glad you liked the style! Yeah if I were to work on this post-Compo I'd add better camera controls, thanks for the suggestion :)

@zubspace thanks for the feedback about the vibes :)

@tkap glad you dug the mood and difficulty! If only you could see my to-do list that was the next thing on my list ha!

Material Cube by chawls_v 2019-04-29T20:36:20Z

@rancoud Thank you for the feedback, so glad you dug the atmosphere! **SPOILERS** -- that's the ending -- you buy a bunch of stuff and then you die (sorry for the bummer ending)

@adam-clayden - YES! Nail on the head, thank you for playing and for the nice compliments!

@tasakasama it was a pleasure that you even played a game I made in 48 hours! Thank you!

@maniae Thank you! Glad you liked using the controller, so much easier that way for the angles

@dvlv Thank you for playing, glad you liked it!

@martynas Thank you for playing! Bahh, thanks about the music compliments. When working on the SFX I was thinking "I hope this pays off"

@dmdmdmdm Thank you for playing and appreciating the mood!

@xcvzxc Thank you for playing! glad you liked the abstract nature of the game and whoops about the distressing ending :grimacing: I guess the ending for it is the same for all of us

Material Cube by chawls_v 2019-04-29T20:39:40Z

@b3agz Thank you for playing! Yes! So glad it gave flashbacks, and that you dug the gameplay! Maybe I can make something more substantial in the future

@notb Thank you for playing! I really appreciate that you dug the aesthetic, thank you

Material Cube by chawls_v 2019-04-29T23:23:33Z

@drrozza I really appreciate that, thank you

power+light by Johan Alexandersson 2019-04-29T18:22:09Z

I enjoyed, there was some good music but an issue with looping clip noise -- see if your audio program has realtime exporting and "2nd pass through" to get a better loop and to export as wav (not mp3). Hope that helps!

The Poor Rebellion by Adam Clayden 2019-04-29T23:50:16Z

I liked the audio! I thought it was funny. Funny take on the theme, great work!

Worth a Coin by Evolus 2019-04-29T08:12:51Z

This game was a great take on the theme, loved the art and humor! Great map with good mixups. The game over screens were great

Little Baby Bloodbag by Trevor Shoe 2019-04-29T06:15:57Z

This was a lot of fun, great work! I can definitely see how this can turn into an even larger project! It was a lot of fun getting my zombie followers to over power everyone and it was especially satisfying getting the big baddies on our horde's side. Great work!!

Delta Fighter by LiauJ 2019-04-29T16:49:33Z

Great game! I like the graphics and it was fun! Good difficulty curve.

Undercave by NoobException 2019-04-29T17:39:20Z

I liked it! The mood was great and the core concept is strong, has a bit of a roguelike feel to it.

Pay Me in Blood by casperj 2019-04-29T18:39:55Z

A really unique, fun puzzle game. The audio is so good and adds to the vibe but the graphics keep it from being too dark. SFX in general were satisfying, you did a fantastic job. This can definitely develop into a larger project. Great work!

bitlive by 8bit beehive 2019-04-29T07:22:28Z

Was a lot of fun, good level design and I like the sound it makes when you hit the enemies (sounds like it is saying "bruh"). Funny intro too, good job!

Market Master by zactical 2019-04-29T07:17:01Z

This game reminded me about investing in my future and made me feel like a true high rise executive. Pretty funny and original

Escape from Hell by Becher 2019-05-10T17:37:44Z

Really enjoyed the mechanic of using souls for buff and a cool idea getting out of the underrealm and I had a lot of fun just slashing slimes. Great work!

Burgers To Die For by Cievers 2019-04-29T19:17:19Z

Good concept I had a hard time seeing what all ingredients I needed for each burger

utsvulten by ditto 2019-04-29T18:55:09Z

This was disturbing and fantastic. Beautiful graphics fitting music, cool physics. Great work!

Bounty Hunted by DrRozza 2019-04-29T23:38:05Z

This game is hilarious! The voice tidbits are so good "Better luck next time". Great theme, fun mechanic, fitting graphics, great work!

Victor Spumante And The Raindrops of Burgundy by gimblll 2019-04-29T17:14:33Z

:robot: VICTOR SPU-MAN-TE :robot: . What an experience. Brain fried, great work!

LD45 — Start with nothing

Basil by Abdul Zakkar 2019-10-08T05:08:17Z

Really liked it, was a cool take on the theme and a lot of fun. Liked the music too!

Soundsearcher by nicross 2019-10-08T05:13:54Z

Woah, this is a very cool concept! Really loved the minimalist art style and I think there is something here in this game. It also seems especially cool that an exploration game like this would be great for the visually impaired. Great work!

No Body by lizelive 2019-10-08T05:22:27Z

Ha, this was great! Got strong Arcane Kids vibes from this, good work

Direction Defection by mrdrakert 2019-10-19T03:01:51Z

This has a great core mechanic, had a lot of fun!
