LD46 — Keep it alive

Tamago by brunosly 2020-04-21T04:35:53Z

Once I played a bit I understood how to play and can see myself really enjoying this. Perhaps put some instructions at the start e.g. R to restart, plus let the player know you only get two turns for each block you control (I found this out quite late and disappointedly passed my turn too early for a good part of the game - I only made it to level 36!). Little bit annoyed that I blew up my trapper - didn't realise the bombs would kill my trapper too. With a few more intructions I would play again. In awe of how people do it all in such a short time. Well done! It's our first time too :)

I really like the idea of choosing your different race and the different space ship artwork/story that goes with each is ace! Didn't seem to be any audio or was that just me? I couldn't tell if I have clicked or selected something. Was going to say I'd love to explore your space then I stumbled upon space bar and 'bought' your 'explore the galaxy' and found two more ace designed planets. I really like this concept, well done :)

I really like the mood and immersivness. I am on a Mac though and the right click didn't seem to work on your online version. I bet if I had of been able to collect those ping pong it would have been amazing. The cover picture made me think it was spooky but it's really relaxing and the music is good.

Dream Hoppers by giu.zcc 2020-04-21T05:51:56Z

A beautiful game. Love the silhouette artwork and the dazzling star. I can see this being addictive for people. The dream state connects beautifully to the glass sounds as you progress. I'm impressed by your creation in only 72hrs! A well polished game!

Rise of the Purple Slime by NateTheGreat 2020-04-21T03:43:31Z

I didn't think I could get so attached to a group of purple blocks so quickly. I was sucked in once I realised what not to do: don't shoot your purple bacteria. I'd love to be able to push away the white lava blocks before they solidified. Nice touches with hardened lava being able to be shot away.

Rise of the Purple Slime by NateTheGreat 2020-04-21T09:40:07Z

I'm back. I love this game, it's currently my favorite and I'm finding it hard to tear myself away... Every respawn is different and I don't know if the inhabitants purposely position themselves towards the lava but I am so hooked. 5 stars - take my money. Also level 5 was so hard but I loved it and the ending bonus round is so satisfying and pretty.

Crop Time by nicksmaddog 2020-04-21T05:21:44Z

I like the character artwork, happy face and hat makes me feel sun safe and happy. I wish it went for longer so I could pick up 'harvest the corn'. Tried to water the tree a few times but just could crack it and get those sweet tree fruit to grow :) What a wild 48hrs, well done.

The Tree by Vadzim 2020-04-21T12:35:02Z

I'm really happy I played this game. Such a calming and beautiful game. I'm not sure how to win but the tree is so beautiful that I don't mind dying. It's quite tricky to move sideways out of the way. The start graphics are stunning and set up the atmosphere and story so well. The music fits adds colour, I just wish i could have kept it alive for longer. Purhaps add distractions in the roots - nesting creature, bugs, bone etc. Your visuals are so beautiful that distractions would only add to the want to grow for longer. Thank you for a lovely game.

Embers by CaptainAbi 2020-04-21T04:03:36Z

This game is a must with music on! (Don't ask me why but I tried it first without and I completly lost purpose and progress). The music is really wonderful, with the crackling fire and wind *heart*. Something to note is that if a bit of wood lands in bottom right (before fence) you can't pick it up as it gets stuck. It may be worth adding a fire health bar in future so player can see the progress of the fire (I wanted to know how to win!). I also love the artwork in the sky too. Great work on doing it all!

Chicken King by PHPGator 2020-04-21T10:27:43Z

We love chickens! It's our first jam and we also did an egg thing. I love your artwork on the chickens and the scenery is ace. I thought I had 'got it' with the instructions but I quickly realised I needed them again so could be good at some point to implement viewing instructions again (I had to restart to go back to view them). I also wanted the shovel to be apart of mouse curser to keep with the world. I love watching the 'farmer' at the start glide to the trough, more walking around the pen could be nice as your aesthetic is so lovely I want to keep seeing those happy chickens - perhaps add jumping happy chickens when they are fed? Enjoyed the music/chicken bocking. The roaming chickens are glorious.

Blue by tri11paragon 2020-04-21T06:27:52Z

I love this game. Took me 3 dies but I finally found the back pack! The art is really lovely, when I first loaded in seeing the fox character with the backpack just made me want to be it and is why I kept playing to find that cool backpack. I think the music may be a bit too spacey for your cute graphics. I love the load in animation of the fox, the color change when freezing, did I mention the beautiful artwork... To note: The 'you need a back pack to cut down more trees' kept coming up even when I had a backpack which made me think there could be another backpack... now I just want more of it to play e.g. a shovel to clear those pesky logs and stones in my way. I want to build a little house by my fire. It's our first game jam too. Well done!

Parasist by Kiwii 2020-04-21T13:03:27Z

Loved the concept, artwork and music work together really well. Four different story choices was impressive (I only got to play the first two- Otter and Dog). If you had more time it may have been worth adding a 'finished tutorial' in the Otter one as I got to day 30 and hadn't leveled up for a long time plus was getting repetitive (perhaps change the order of some of the button but I'm not sure). I found myself wanting a bit more story but the overall concept makes this a really nice game.

pestilentia by ATTX 2020-04-21T10:10:48Z

I liked the gameboy style. In awe that people can create a game all themselves so well done. On level 3 not sure if a bug (when you first have x2 players to keep alive), if I bump into one of the sick then they also turn healthy? I do loose life but It's just the animation that changes, but I kind of like it! on purpose or not! I also thought they were cauliflowers that we are trying to keep away from the bugs trying to eat them... thus level 1 I tried feeding it to the bug ooops... until I read the description again. Both ways it works :)

Eggsploration by ChickenCastle 2020-04-21T06:35:15Z

@fabrizio-spadaro Thanks so much for your feedback! We did have an extra long jump section but thought it a bit mean for the first game, so removed it. Also had ideas of player health but imagine playing level 5 with player health! plus unfortunately time limits. Good to know though!

Eggsploration by ChickenCastle 2020-04-21T06:37:45Z

@captainabi Thank you so much for playing our game. We're fans of the egg crack too!

Survivalgo by despdair2 2020-04-21T10:01:18Z

Love the aesthetic, music is nice not overpowering, love the wizard character. Note: Arrow buttons when stacked go over the 'Run' button, making it hard to press. I like how this also teaches you about perspective, angles of lines for drawings. Also on level 4 there is a bug with the repeat button (level after when you taught about the repeat button), when I click the finishing arrow then repeat on the last tile it continues then turns left (off the map and to death). Love your work.
