LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

This Little Isle Of Mine by MKnooihuisen 2018-12-04T08:29:59Z

Pretty enjoyable game, kinda confusing, but not a bad idea. Some of the events included (catnip, sandal factory 2x) were pretty funny. It kinda reminded me of Master of Magic / Populous.

Fun, fast paced, funny that you can actually disassemble your own ship (I mean walls etc) and modules.

Good job!

Ritual Slaughter by Steel_Dev 2018-12-05T08:12:11Z

Pretty nice game you got there, I really like the art and "fluidness"! Difficulty seems kinda high and redoing the setup part is kinda grindy. I guess we have to sacrifice some more time to kill the Lucifer!

Ritual Slaughter by Steel_Dev 2018-12-05T21:20:04Z

@steel-dev yeah it fits the theme pretty nicely :) And you are right, devs have this problem with difficulty, cause when you play your game over and over again, like 50 times minimum, you get so good at it that you "loose touch with reality" and cant rly imagine how its gonna be for newbies. I tested my game on my brother and my friend, just sitting next to them, not saying anything, checking how they play it, if they get stuck, or annoyed by something.. ofc that might be hard in such short time window :D

Ritual Slaughter by Steel_Dev 2018-12-05T22:00:07Z

@steel-dev well that's up to you, thanks in advance, if you do so :) I find playing&reviewing the games is as enjoyale as makin them :D

Wild Heat Showdown by Akusan 2018-12-04T14:28:49Z

Done :) pretty nice game, nice graphics, music, but I was kinda confused by the men shooting rockets out of their censored penises :O

Btw wife is 10/10 ;)

Servants Of The Light by DrFallos 2018-12-04T14:15:46Z

I don't understand how to win or how to loose :O However, I really like the atmosphere & design of the game.

And yeah, moving sideways seems faster than forward :))

Transmute Your Villagers TD by Sabeurre 2018-12-04T17:39:29Z

Wow I love it! I am a big fan of TDs and I really enjoyed yours. Nice graphics, upgradeable towers, cool mechanics with villagers sacrificing.

Great job, srsly.

Save the Wabbit (VR) by saoi-games 2018-12-04T08:31:30Z

I love tower defense games, but I have borrowed my VIVE to a friend for two weeks. Will try later, looks good!

Mudul's Trial by Kanacell 2018-12-04T08:54:44Z

Really liked the graphics, plays really good, got into lvl 9 actually, but I was really confused about the merchants.. Why I have to pay with my life? And what if I dont even want the "upgrade"?:)

Mudul's Trial by Kanacell 2018-12-04T13:57:03Z

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about the theme of this jam when I played your game :D

I really like this as a start of something little bigger (if the time would allow), like, player could specialize in some build, melee (upgrade armor, melee weapons, melee splash/AoE damage), or maybe pure ranger (upgrade ranged weapon, slowing traps, automatic cannons mounted on player) or like "tinker", who could build towers etc.

Nice game!

The nightmare by Zsolt 2018-12-04T15:35:21Z

Really nice game, will probably try to do something in 3D next time too!

I was wondering, whats under the trap door? can it be opened?

Also, does this guy have bloody diarrhea? LD_GUY.JPG

To The Slaughter (LD43) by snakemuho 2018-12-04T09:43:09Z

I really love the art, idea(story) and the gameplay itself. It's really enjoyable, and I played it several times to try more spells.

(The "guided sparks" spell is pretty OP btw :) In the rebalanced version).

Good job!

Bloodmancer by Cipery 2018-12-04T10:01:19Z

@Sky Thanks for the feedback, yeah, I spent probably the least amount of time on the level design + it's graphics :/

@clayrok thanks!

Bloodmancer by Cipery 2018-12-04T17:09:52Z

@snakemuho Ye, influenced a lot by DkS... hope you liked it!

Bloodmancer by Cipery 2018-12-05T08:25:11Z

@keithdae Glad you liked it! A good suggestion, I haven't thought about that at all. Maybe in version 1.1 :)

@yureiokami Thank you for your long review. Checkpoints - idea was, when you die on puzzle, it will activate moving platform that acts as a "new way to go", PLUS, a shortcut to the place where you have died. (well except the first puzzle, that doesnt work that way :)). Art - wow thanks, you are totally right, finding assets that "work" together was a challenging task and.. I kinda that I just got lucky :/ Next time I'll probably create my own graphical assets (to challenge myself more). 2DEngine - The moving platforms! Yes! I was very surprised that they don't work as expected :D I googled for solutions, cause I was running out of time, and I decided to skip it and just add two little "rails" to the side-moving platforms :D /Hack

@akusan I'm super glad that you like the atmosphere! I really tried to pick the assets to create something "dark", and with limited GFX assets to pick from, I kinda focused on sounds.. dark music, evil/ghosty sounds, there is even a heartbeat sounds, active all the time, it just more noticeable (and beats faster) as your HP goes down. same goes for the vignette effect when you're low on HP, and with more souls collected, the screen gets grainier.

Thank you for playing my game, I am so glad that you like it!

Bloodmancer by Cipery 2018-12-05T23:03:47Z

@howard-duong Thanks a lot man! :3 Will try your game(s) soon! REEEEEEEEEE

@rafael-lontra glad you liked it!!!!! It can get confusing, thats for sure. I should've included minimap :D

Cult Fever by iDesigns 2018-12-05T08:48:27Z

Wow, great game, you impressed me even before I started the game - with the web presentation, to me, it says that you put effort into this jam. The game gfx - same thing, it's really lovely, well done, it just fits :) The gameplay - at first, I lost horribly, I could focus just one one hand, so I tried it more times and it got better, I even finished it to the end.

You say that you do educational games in your game studio, so maybe this game "educates" (improves) our hand-eye coordination :)

Great job!

Please God by pandacodemaster 2018-12-04T15:40:20Z

:DD I have no idea what I was supposed to do, but animals dressed in bikinis are funny. Also the graphics/audio are nice. Next time, please add some how-to :) Good job!

Our Sacrifice by Keshav Sharma 2018-12-04T14:35:25Z

Weird issue with resolution.. not sure how to fix it, but finished it anyway. Kinda short :/ But not a bad idea!our_sacrifice.JPG

LD45 — Start with nothing

Outsider by Shinmera 2019-10-11T21:11:28Z

Really liked it, and I think that sound would help the game a lot (I know my game does not have sound either, but.. In your game, the atmosphere would improve a lot!!).

PS: I haven't experienced any shadow glitches, but I had to copy the game to C:/ in order it to work :)

Legends of Hobo by Cipery 2019-10-11T20:59:43Z

@shinmera Can you try the WebGL version please?

Legends of Hobo by Cipery 2019-10-11T21:00:05Z

@empty-set thanks?:D

LD46 — Keep it alive

Space Station Express by quadtree 2020-05-08T10:31:55Z

This was pretty fun to play & fun overall! I just kinda wanted to shoot those bullies.. oh well. The game crashed on me when I reached $5k, but otherwise, great job!

PHYSICTORIA THE ULTIMATE BATTLE ARENA by simex 2020-05-11T07:09:59Z

":DDD" is best description of the game, it's really funny and to me, original. Encountered several bugs, mainly when using some odd leg combos, otherwise.. wow :D good job

Pong-Pong by Geri 2020-05-08T10:22:28Z

I love that you can make a fun to play game just by using some basic 2D shapes =) Great job, I just wish there was some way how to like.. combine "twin guns" with "big gun" and "quick gun" :))

A Tail Of Ice And Fire And A Tree by Jawsarn 2020-05-11T07:18:52Z

I LOVE Tower Defense games, so this was a treat to me. Great job, it was rly fun and well made!
