LD45 — Start with nothing

ZERMATT: ZERO by FireSlash 2019-10-08T06:23:14Z

Good Job! I love the art style. The music is super intense and build up the atmosphere very quickly. I didn't feel the game is hard, but I can't control myself clicking those options that would obviously get me killed...

The Journey with Her by cirno 2019-10-11T04:11:59Z

really fun puzzle, but it's just a little too hard for me:( My struggle started as soon as the red fellow is introduced... and this level feels like a mission impossible to me :cry: Capture.PNG

Really good job tho

The Freelancer by TMAT Productions 2019-10-08T02:34:42Z

quite fun to play. Some bullets (shot from enemy) do no damage when you are far away but some do, it could be a bug, but this is normal for jam game, and since it is your first unity game, very impressive

good job!

Skeleton Quest by mahalis 2019-10-08T02:37:20Z

Now I know why dogs are barking for no reasons

We Are The N-O-T-H-I-N-G by paulhocker 2019-10-10T05:34:26Z

The control is very smooth, nice shooting animation; art can be improved but the style is already looking good. Sadly it seems like there is not much to do yet in the current version, but I can definitely see potential in this prototype. Good job, and I look forward to your future update!

S.W.N by silkworm_sweatshop 2019-10-08T02:18:59Z

Very fun game, cool idea and even has a tutorial... make me think how unintuitive my game is...not to mention the level editor

Zen Master by Onat Saygı 2019-10-08T02:24:32Z

The game is so chill. Both music and graphics are great. Sadly not much to do, but still, good job

Nothing to Everything by Compasslg 2019-10-07T10:41:16Z

A WebGL version is also available at https://compasslg.itch.io/nothing-to-everything So now you don't need a windows machine to play!

Nothing to Everything by Compasslg 2019-10-08T05:50:59Z

@dob Thanks for playing! the block and dodge effect last forever until being attacked. The "Everything" in the main menu is supposed to be a twist for the theme, and it is the exit button for the windows version, but if you are playing the WebGL version then it would be a black screen. Sorry for the confusion!

Nothing to Everything by Compasslg 2019-10-08T05:54:33Z

@revx thanks for playing! Yeah currently the game is very simple and straight forward, I planned a lot more in the beginning but wasn't able to make then in the end.

Nothing to Everything by Compasslg 2019-10-08T05:57:56Z

@pkenney Wow, I'm so happy you made it to the end! The nothing for enemy card is supposed to be like you can only use once in a level, I left it like this for testing purpose, but ended up not having time to implement it.

Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Nothing to Everything by Compasslg 2019-10-08T06:03:15Z

@fireslash Thank you very much! Sorry for the slow animation, I wonder if it is ok to speed that up and update now :( I originally plan to have more cards and make it so you unlock cards each level, and enemy has different deck as you, but ended up not having time to implement them, which is shame but happens in many jam games~

Nothing to Everything by Compasslg 2019-10-08T06:06:17Z

@james-beninger Thank you for playing! yeah, the "Nothing for enemy" really broke the balance:( My intention was to make it so you can use it only once per level, but choose to leave it like that at first since it was very handy for debugging, and ended up not having time to implement it.

Nothing to Everything by Compasslg 2019-10-08T06:08:59Z

@toppervideogames Thanks for your feedback! the Nothing for Enemy was supposed to be a one-use-per-level card, but I left it like that so I can have a easier time debugging and ended up not having time to change it

Nothing to Everything by Compasslg 2019-10-08T06:11:27Z

@burnedkirby Thank you for playing and I'm very happy you made it to the end! Oops, I indeed forgot to remove the cards in graveyard, thank you for catching that! Also glad you like the music:)

Nothing to Everything by Compasslg 2019-10-08T22:34:32Z

@nisovin Thanks for playing! The way I get round the healing issue is to just hold my big damage cards along with a mana potion when enemy has healing in their hand. Because the AI is very dumb, you can just let them use their healing when they are at full hp. After they are done, use the damage cards you have to finish it within two rounds (unless you are very unlucky). But hey, thanks for the feedback! The game definitely has some balance issue~

Nothing to Everything by Compasslg 2019-10-08T22:38:59Z

@silkworm-sweatshop Thank you so much for you feedback! Because I didn't have time to really balance the game, and the enemy has the same card pool as player, sometimes enemy can one shot the player in the first level:( Therefore I made it so player has more HP just so people can reach the higher level and unlock the thing cards. If I have more time, I would definitely try to balance the game in a better way (perhaps I'll spend some time extending this game after the rating is over:))

Nothing to Everything by Compasslg 2019-10-09T05:20:35Z

@al-axe thank you for playing, and I really appreciate it! Yeah, I'll definitely spend some time upgrade the game after the rating is over

Nothing to Everything by Compasslg 2019-10-11T03:50:32Z

@cirno Thanks for playing ~ You are right, the current build feels more like a RPG rather than a card game. My original design was to have limited deck size and different card set for the enemy and the player; as the player reach higher levels, new cards would be unlocked. As for the "thing cards", player should be able to choose which card to swap with the enemy and which card to destroy. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to implement any of these features. Also you mentioned they are "passive cards", but after you reach "something" or "anything", you can actually activate them (just in case it was too unintuitive and you didn't notice).

But thanks for your feedback! I appreciate it a lot.

Nothing to Everything by Compasslg 2019-10-11T04:45:09Z

@cirno yeah, the game does have some serious balancing issues. Again, thanks for playing!

Nothing to Everything by Compasslg 2019-10-12T01:59:42Z

@iamberf 谢谢~ 音乐确实有很多进步空间,而且游戏也需要一个可以调音量的界面

Scrap Spaceship by Nisovin 2019-10-08T22:10:02Z

A pretty fun game! It is not the only spaceship building game I've played in LD45, but this one has a pretty unique mechanic, and more importantly, is actually fun to play! GOOD JOB

Ludum Dare Simulator by Marcin J 2019-10-11T04:30:19Z

I tried to do exactly what I did in the jam... turns out I need more sleep, or I have a really high health pool in real life

Really fun game, good job!!!

Nothing Everything by James Beninger 2019-10-08T06:28:51Z

The game looks great and very funny! I think there is a bug where when I click the character avatar on the top-left screen and then click any text there, the game went black screen.

Still, good job! The music and art style are simple but great!

Robo-Fort by geoff.nagy 2019-10-07T08:32:41Z

The game is fun, very smooth control, although I'm not particularly good with this type of game lol.

I also had the "blank window pops up for a second then goes away" issue. After I disabled my anti-virus software, I can open it just fine.

Good job

because we have nothing, so we need to choose what to get. by iAmberF 2019-10-11T05:04:56Z

偶尔一碗鸡汤还是很不错的 good job!

LD49 — Unstable

Heating plant tycoon by Hadik 2021-10-10T07:38:55Z

Can't imagine you pulled it off in 3 days! with some polishing I'm sure this will be a fun game

No More Stables! by Raphiell 2021-10-10T07:33:34Z

The graphics is simple but really great! especially with the weird vibe of this music... overall a nice little game!

The Puppets by Compasslg 2021-10-05T05:43:56Z

@andreadbx thanks for playing and I'm sorry to hear that, it appears to be a bug where when played in fullscreen mode on WebGL, the screen coordinates will be the actual coordinate on your system screen instead of the game screen, so when the game is not made for curtain aspect ratio, any code that uses the screen coordinate will break...and this doesn't happen on other platforms. I haven't found a way to solve it yet, so I've disabled fullscreen mode on webgl for now. Please feel free to try it without fullscreen or play the windows version of the game :handshake:

The Puppets by Compasslg 2021-10-05T11:01:49Z

@lexian Thanks for playing! You are right, we initially planned for a lot more types of character interactions (we even have the arts for them already), but the interactions we already have and the AI system took much longer than we expected, typical ludum dare :(

Lonely sailor by quackBehavior 2021-10-05T13:25:26Z

Overall a fun game, I love the sound effect when you get hit... I wish there were some music

LD54 — Limited Space

Final Frenzy! by almost 2023-10-06T03:23:16Z

Interesting take on limited space and great art! I kept losing track of my pen due to the limited space on desk though :(

Forest Survivors by donvermo 2023-10-06T00:30:46Z

The control feels a little weird, but otherwise the game is decent, good job!

Tiny Farm Island by gamesplusjames 2023-10-03T01:47:43Z

I'm not a fan of farming games, but the game play felt pretty smooth and I was able to complete a few rounds

49 Days by Compasslg 2023-10-03T02:40:58Z

@crygos Thank you for playing! I added some explaination, hopefully it will help.

49 Days by Compasslg 2023-10-03T03:19:34Z

@nathmate Thank you for playing and commenting! I wasn't able to optimize the visual and user interface in time, sorry about the unintuitiveness.

Monkey's element is fixed for every game, if you enter the game by retry, the puzzle wouldn't change (meaning you need to go back to title screen and enter the game again to generate new puzzle and change monkey's element).

Tiles are all moving toward the same direction as the monkey. I think the lack of animation probably made it harder to figure things out.

49 Days by Compasslg 2023-10-03T06:39:34Z

@joymagine thank you for playing and advice! I'll definitely put out a post game-jam version with those improvement

49 Days by Compasslg 2023-10-05T02:47:59Z

@bumble Thanks for your suggestion! I really like the puzzle myself as well, and will definitely spend more time on it for a post-jam version

49 Days by Compasslg 2023-10-05T02:49:04Z

@hinesite Thank you for playing and your advice!

49 Days by Compasslg 2023-10-07T00:37:42Z

@ukulelefury Thanks for your feedback! I'll definitely work on a post-jam version with improved UI.

49 Days by Compasslg 2023-10-07T00:38:02Z

@jon-curtin Thanks for playing!

49 Days by Compasslg 2023-10-15T12:39:55Z

@bloodbane Thank you for playing! I'm already working on a post-jam version, so if you are interested, definitely try that later!

49 Days by Compasslg 2023-10-15T12:41:36Z

@alzhu1 Thank you for playing and feedback! I'm working on a post-jam version, and I'll definitely keep those in mind!

49 Days by Compasslg 2023-10-15T12:41:54Z

@teaskyd thank you for playing!

49 Days by Compasslg 2023-10-19T13:32:12Z

@saumon thanks for playing!

Compact Domain by avareii 2023-10-05T03:04:29Z

Wow, this game is quite ambitious for a jam, and the art style is crazy good

Less Space by Vyndilis 2023-10-03T01:57:30Z

This is my favorite game so far! The mechanics are simple and straight forward, but really fun

Minimus Brainius by hulien22 2023-10-03T02:23:47Z

Minimus Brainius, you are a genius

Minimus Brainius by hulien22 2023-10-03T02:31:27Z

My tiny brain can't figure out what makes a better argument, but the game is great :laughing:

Hexed by Tesseract 2023-10-06T03:06:13Z

Really fun game, best suited for playing in class :)

Hell Space Ltd. by hinesite 2023-10-03T02:08:47Z

Didn't fully understand the game at first, but once I god the idea it was definitely fun to play! Elon should fund this game.

TetraPolis by PassbyKamenRider 2023-10-03T01:52:58Z

A weird but definitely interesting mutation for tetris. I like the idea, but it is kind of hard to pay attention to that many things while playing tetris :laughing:

disembARK by Crygos 2023-10-03T01:33:15Z

The art work is great, and the game is well organized so that I instantly understood how to play the game without reading the spoiler

Space Ltd. by Jon Curtin 2023-10-06T00:13:07Z

Always like games messing around with physics :) good job

Reborn----I am the king of APP by Saumon 2023-10-19T13:31:29Z

I feel like the idea definitely has some potential if you spend some more time on it, but still, good job on what you've achieved in such a short amount of time! Also I don't know if it's only happening to the web version, but I cannot exit the menu once I goes there to turn off the sound.

Stellar Fracture by epic_zeta 2023-10-07T03:13:25Z

Finally a game built for mac! I liked the vibe this game is giving, but the pacing felt a bit off, early on there isn't much to do, later I felt I can't do enough to make a impact, it's kinda too hard to control the debris. Aside from those I really like the idea!

Animal Teleporting by JamesW 2023-10-06T13:36:33Z

great puzzles! The music is also incredible

Troubled Turtles by Aviv Levy 2023-10-06T14:18:15Z

great level design, I had lots of fun playing this! also the game feels very polished, I'll definitely revisit this if there is a post-jam version

Conways Crowded Farm by George-sh 2023-10-06T00:25:29Z

Don't fully get this game, but the music and the game flow feels pretty fit

Keep Inside by Wallbreaker5th 2023-10-05T03:01:45Z

The game is really fun, I feel like it's gonna be great on mobile device
