LD39 — Running out of Power

A Shocking Discovery by Conrad Etherton 2017-08-01T03:23:59Z

Thanks for all the great feedback everyone!

@sir-mr-dr-prof-sr-jr-phd @aircraft-terrier Sorry for the lack of feedback on how the town worked! Was running short on time but would have liked to communicate things better

@rombus The cloud that's about to strike will start turning white, and it will hit your kite if it's the nearest target

Infinitree by Quaternius 2017-07-31T18:17:30Z

Looks awesome! Very nice and coherent style. Maybe some signs of how the light is going to change would be nice but overall the gameplay is great

rop by cyfixus 2017-07-31T21:54:59Z

Cool game, wish the spawning didn't make it so hard, but it looks and sounds nice.

Battery Booster by Garett Cooper 2017-07-31T21:32:46Z

Really nice and simple with good balancing. The spacing and placement of batteries is provides interesting risk and reward strategy. An engine sound would have been nice but I really like the music.

Rogue AI by jbasinger 2017-07-31T22:06:28Z

Cool concept of choosing death or freedom for the other robots and the dialog was nice, but some sounds would have been nice to set the mood. I had fun running through to the exits as quickly as possible.

And Here Again by PerduGames 2017-08-01T03:18:23Z

This was a very solid game and I enjoyed the experience. Loved your use of the theme and the mood was fantastic between the dark visuals and eerie music. Graphics could maybe use some work but other than that I think the game is great!

The Overseer by jmholland96 2017-07-31T18:52:42Z

Very nice for your first game jam! Creative take on the theme, looks nice, and gameplay is enjoyable. I think being able to shuffle any time makes it a little bit too easy to do exactly what you want but having the different types of actions combined with the peaceful people works very well!

Energy Bomb ( 2 Player) by Sir Mr Dr Prof Sr Jr PhD 2017-07-31T22:25:24Z

Fun 2 player game, the strategy of zoning or being aggressive with bombs is interesting. Music and sound would have been nice, but totally understandable given it's your first ludum dare and it's a compo submission.

Power Up by MMM 2017-08-09T00:33:12Z

I really love the awesome sci fi atmosphere you've constructed with the graphics and audio. The changing viewpoint is a cool idea, but I think it could be made more consistent in terms of how much you can see at any point. I hadn't played it without the wireframe but it was helpful. Overall really fun, got a high score of 477.

Ring It On by Conrad Etherton 2024-04-15T19:41:16Z

@thoastbot Sorry about that! I use a weird keyboard where ESDF works better, and I forgot I had it set that way until after the deadline. Arrow keys or controller are also an option if it helps.

Thanks for all the kind words and feedback everyone!

Ring It On by Conrad Etherton 2024-04-17T15:05:00Z

@fabula-rasa Hmm I haven't seen that issue, even testing on firefox. There should be a line which encircles around the outside of the arena, starting from the top and going further around whenever you defeat an enemy or ring the bell. If that is not showing up or moving, then something is quite wrong. It is intentional for it to go back down over time if you don't hit anything though, so perhaps you are taking a more slow and methodical approach, and never reaching the new multiplier threshold? I'll admit I didn't really explain that system.

Thank you and everyone else for trying the game, rating, and leaving comments, it's great to hear people are having fun with the game!

Kalòmancer by BinarySpark 2024-04-16T20:30:45Z

This is really impressive! This game looks and sounds great, and plays well. Being able to change card stats adds a whole new dimension. I haven't got through all the challenges yet but I think I'll be coming back to this one!

Boiled Hell by Mortith 2024-04-16T21:17:01Z

I love the vibes, the art is amazing! It was frustrating a couple times when I completed the recipe slightly too late, and the ingredient went into the next recipe, but otherwise the gameplay was really well done. Everything tied together nicely, great work!

A Clash of Horns by fabula_rasa 2024-04-16T14:32:31Z

Solid game! I encountered an issue a couple of times where the card I was trying to play would just disappear and nothing would happen, but I still had the mana so I just played something else. Overall a very nice card game implementation with awesome art and fun gameplay!

Dry Season by HolyPerceval 2024-04-16T14:28:58Z

This is probably the funniest entry I've seen so far, seeing them fail at dancing and drop like flies due to my poor rhythm game skills, great work :D

Voir Dire: The Jury Un-summoner by Constantine Pallas 2024-04-16T14:36:27Z

Funny idea, I love the wacky rules! Selecting the right juror could be a bit weird at different camera angles, and would have been nice to have keybinds for flipping through rules quickly, but otherwise the concept works nicely!

NECRO'EVOKE by Tugaryn 2024-04-15T18:02:34Z

Wow, really well done! Trading your own health for minion stats is a really nice addition to this type of card game. The turns and damaging system were not entirely clear at first, but once I knew how it worked, the game provided interesting strategic decision points. Overall a very solid package of story, theme, and mechanics!

Summoners of the Rings by Thoastbot 2024-04-16T19:17:01Z

Impressive work! Cool to have a technically multiplayer game in a game jam. Could use a bit of polish and usability improvements (kept trying to sell things, but at least there's a confirmation :D). Very cool though

Phasebound by Kepsert 2024-04-16T15:14:17Z

Really impressive work! The later levels got a bit too challenging for me but I really enjoyed what I played. Awesome visuals, sounds, and level design.

Cupcake Summoning by mmayans 2024-04-15T05:24:35Z

Short a sweet, like a cupcake. Wish the music had more variation, but overall it's a very charming little game!

Ghostslayer by ThatFirey 2024-04-16T19:06:30Z

Very cool concept! Though it took me a bit to figure out how the book worked and it was still very challenging, would have liked some more breathing room to cast things haha. Good sounds and visuals too, nice work!

Cauldron Crafters by cibums 2024-04-16T14:59:02Z

Interesting concept and nice little game! Nice art on the items and good background music, it's a bummer that the later content didn't work out, would've liked to see more!

TNT Summoning Master!!!!! by Bx007 2024-04-17T16:46:00Z

Great concept! Gameplay works well, sound and graphics fit together. Definitely on the challenging side for me, didn't get through the hyper jump level, but it was fun!

Super Pal Summoner! by Meepster 2024-04-16T19:34:12Z

I like how the visuals and sounds are really calming but it got really stressful for me at the end lol. Nice work!

The Wizard Games by nickCherns 2024-04-16T14:47:33Z

Nice work! Solid visuals and sounds with simple but effective gameplay. Would be nice to have some more visual theming around the input and summons, but what you have works well!

Forge Lord by Hazard Game Dev 2024-04-16T14:27:27Z

Really nice! I thought the wave counter was broken at first but then I realized it skips more waves each time you loop around. I wish the looped waves would progress in difficulty a bit faster but it was an interesting way to scale up the game. Great work!

They Ran Out Of Flying Spells So Now I Summon Platforms by Gaverion 2024-04-16T15:17:50Z

Interesting concept and a nice little game! I appreciate the level select, as some levels were a bit daunting for me, but I still got to see everything you put in. Nice work!

Blood of the Altar by Hot Noggin Studios 2024-04-16T15:01:11Z

Really awesome visuals and gameplay! I could definitely see myself playing a lot of this with just a bit of updating and expanding!

DragTypist by Slashee the Cow 2018-04-25T02:06:02Z

51.454 :D Very challenging and it feels good to get a few in a row. I noticed it's actually a bit forgiving when you type a letter late which IDK if it's intentional but it's nice haha. Good stuff :thumbsup:

Shuffle Climber by miroky 2018-04-25T01:45:39Z

Neat concept! Pretty easy to pick up and I like the panic of spamming cards to get what I'm looking for. Definitely very challenging though, maybe could use some kind of way to save cards or something to help with sticky situations. Really like the graphics, overall quite nice!

For The Dog by theomaniacal 2018-04-25T02:19:18Z

Really nice! Shooting mechanics were fun, I even managed to do a non-lethal run on the last level (... a couple people might have gotten shot but they're fine). Nice work!
