LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

Crimson Chaos by frostByte4k 2018-12-03T21:40:43Z

the controls are a little uncomfortable for me, i think it'd be better if the forward key moved you in the direction the player was facing. It took me a while to grasp the concept of it, but once i did it was a lot of fun to play. i really like your take on the theme, sacraficing health to fight back enemies. If there were more items and powerups you'd really have something, this is a really cool concept aside from any flaws, and i think you shouldn't leave it as a jam game, with more work, this could really be something ;)

Tasty Blocks by CopperAardvarkGames 2018-12-04T18:01:26Z

@lorenz I appreciate it!

LD44 — Your life is currency

Fake game by PoV 2019-05-05T18:35:53Z

Outstanding! Best game I’ve played in years!!

My Life is Not Currency by rjhelms 2019-05-04T17:56:33Z

Amazing game! I absolutely loved the humor of it all. You had me laughing out loud both reading the games description and playing. Awesome, clean, enjoyable, funny. Solid entry my dude!

Marvin by Avon 2019-05-04T21:25:03Z

Keep rating games to get this one more attention! It’s really fun and enjoyable. Great work!

Pay With Your Blood by bradur 2019-05-04T19:25:14Z

Really nice. Fun little top down game. I feel like the graphics are a bit inconsistent but I’m always picky with graphics :P

The Tree of Bounty by gelisam 2019-05-04T19:10:52Z

Really fun game! I had a great time playing!

Almost free by Listonos 2019-05-01T01:46:13Z

Had a lot of fun! I enjoy your unique take on the theme as well.

Apocarmalypse by CocaPasteque 2019-05-04T17:52:10Z

I’m surprised you didn’t want to be rated on graphics. Because that’s one of my favorite aspects xd. Solid entry and very fun gameplay

Curse of Volgax by Wekaj 2019-05-01T01:44:07Z

really nice. I always love modern retro games and this one is solid especially for a jam entry.

Dice Of Life by masterkrepta 2019-05-04T16:54:58Z

Interesting mechanics and simple yet fun gameplay. Well done!

RAD MAC by jsmars 2019-05-03T21:28:02Z

@thatsommes just add it as an exclusion

RAD MAC by jsmars 2019-05-03T21:29:11Z

This game was tons of fun for me. The pixlated graphics are really nice, and the music really helped bring out the atmosphere of the gameplay.

Tree of Life by wolar 2019-05-04T22:25:35Z

Great graphics and gameplay, great entry. ;)

Last Hope by pndaa 2019-05-04T16:51:45Z

Really fun game and clean graphics! Nice job!

Dragon's Gold by kleinzach 2019-05-04T16:59:26Z

Hilarious sounds and addictive gameplay. Well done!

Powerup Puncher by cogcomp 2019-05-04T20:38:27Z

Controls need to be a bit more generic in my opinion but other than that I had a really good time playing!

Green Goo by Aggrathon 2019-05-04T14:12:37Z

Very nice job. And surprisingly bug free unlike most entries (including my own xd). Great work.

Meat Mountain by gamechoy 2019-05-04T20:43:16Z

Really nice! Fun and easy to grasp the idea.

Rude Bear Reassembled by alexrose 2019-05-05T17:35:03Z

I love the concept and gameplay. Nice art. Very well done.

Return of the Roguelike by Azargaz 2019-05-04T21:40:03Z

Really cool graphics and gameplay! My only complaint would be the background is lighter than the floor/platforms, which makes it seems sorta off to me. It could just be my pickyness, though xd

Rising Dawn - First Blood: It's Brunchtime by AfroAnt 2019-05-04T19:26:08Z

Really fun! I was disappointed when it ended haha. I’d love to see a full version of this!

Life Hunter by neonian 2019-05-04T21:55:55Z

Really nice! I had lots of fun and only 1 bug I think I ran into ;)

BloedBad by Sol Roo 2019-05-04T14:13:46Z

Really fun story and gameplay, I had an amazing time playing. I literally have nothing but compliments. Great work!!

Life in the Fast Vein by Dorblin7z7 2019-05-04T19:11:42Z

The controls are a bit “uncontrollable” xd but honestly that gives it a good rage aspect. I had lots of fun!

Buckubus: suck 'em dry! by loveapplegames 2019-05-04T16:56:01Z

Took some will power to stop playing, the gameplay keeps you at it for a while and I adore that in games. Great work!

Warlock Cardgame by krammetje 2019-05-04T21:43:10Z

You were not lying. It is definitely a warlock card game xD. Very nice graphical polish and game mechanics. Overall very well done.

Grim Adventures by ursagames 2019-05-04T21:48:15Z

Tons of fun, nice and clean control mechanics and graphics.

Real Life by red 2019-05-05T17:29:49Z

Really nice and enjoyable experience. I actually like the morbidity of it all. Well done

Brave Swordsman by falak 2019-05-05T17:31:57Z

Great take on the theme, good humor, fun gameplay. Well done

The Steep Price Paid in Grey Dale by kloscunha 2019-05-04T21:26:51Z

Amazing horror aspect! This gave me a few good scares, very well done!

Experimental Treatments by Greet 2019-05-04T18:01:01Z

5 stars overall. Very fun, polished, with clean and addictive gameplay. An amazing entry. Well done!

Memory Run by DeathStorm 2019-05-04T18:09:53Z

Everything about the game was great. The gameplay, the mechanics, the text style. My only complaint would be that this game too obviously shows what engine it was made in, which is just a peeve I have, really. So, not even a real complaint. Nice job!

Sinner by kazuo256 2019-05-04T19:12:31Z

Nice polish and graphics. I had a blast playing.

WE:FX ミンナガFX by junt74 2019-05-04T20:40:18Z

The concept is very unique and a nice fit on the theme. I had a good time playing as well. Great entry!

Depths by potatolain 2019-05-04T21:32:55Z

5 stars overall! Great art style and intriguing gameplay!

Zap Signal by christina-antoinette-neofotistou 2019-05-04T21:21:21Z

Amazing art and gameplay. Super fun and polished. This has a good chance to make it up there in the voting!

Your Money's No Good Here by Dis0rder 2019-05-05T17:33:11Z

Kept me captivated the whole way through. Very nice job.

Butt Poke by Enumox 2019-05-03T21:42:26Z

Some music would be really nice for this game. Great graphical approach and I love the humor. Nice job!

Life Merchant by Webox 2019-05-04T20:11:54Z

I was disappointed when it was over xd. I’d love to see more! Nice work!

BodyHop by NoNiMad 2019-05-03T21:35:27Z

This is a really fun game. There are a list of bugs, just as any game made in a weekend would have, however the overall game was quite enjoyable. I did also get the same bug as @firtage , and I couldn't move after respawning, which made me have to restart the game.

Deadly Dungeon by SpiRiTs 2019-05-04T20:01:52Z

Graphics are great and I had a blast playing. Amazing work!

Coink, the Piggy bank by Zan Kavcic 2019-05-04T20:41:24Z

Nice and simplistic yet fun to play. I really like this. The way the story unveils could use some work but other than that very solid.

Undertaker by LuckyFeathers 2019-05-04T21:22:58Z

Really nice game. The mechanics and gameplay were really satisfying.

Lights Out by CursedEmbassy 2019-05-04T18:07:48Z

Really fun game! A bit buggy (which is understandable), but still a solid entry!

Bruisness, Business that Packs a Punch by nate_wec 2019-05-04T21:54:58Z

Really nice game with a good humor aspect. 5 stars overall. Solid entry.

Deadline by Evan Minto 2019-05-04T16:56:44Z

I love the retro graphics and gameplay mechanics! Amazing job!

Pouche by elmo 2019-05-04T18:19:52Z

A tutorial would be nice as the game sorta start out a bit intensely. But once you get the hand of it it becomes quite addictive! Nice work!

Long live the king! by PixelSplash 2019-05-04T18:06:33Z

The graphics are great. The gameplay was sort of relaxing for me and kept me captivated. Great work!

Lost in Afterlife by zanagi 2019-05-03T21:33:35Z

The controls were sorta uncomfortable at first but not something impossible to get used to. I had a great time with this. Great story, nice graphics, nice take on the theme. Overall a solid entry.

Noir Vampire by Dioinecail 2019-05-04T20:06:49Z

I love the art and polish! Great work!

Necromancer 4 Reincarnation by ChrissiQ 2019-05-04T16:53:52Z

Nice concept and gameplay ideas. Had good fun messing around with it. With some more polish this would be really nice!

Moneyman and Pennyboy by CaptainDreamcast 2019-05-03T21:38:51Z

I loved this game. The mechanics are very smooth and it's at the perfect level difficulty that makes you cant stop playing and I absolutely love that in a game. Great job!

Criminal Street by GastricSparrow 2019-05-04T21:53:14Z

Surprisingly enjoyable! It’s that perfect level of frustrating enough to keep to captivated. Awesome job!

Project BoR, city builder by Hydrogenium 2019-05-04T14:09:50Z

I see a lot of potential in this game. But it is quite buggy and sort of unplayable (at least for me). The graphics looks really good though. With some work and bug fixes you could have a really nice game.

Pimp My Reaper by BytingGames 2019-05-04T20:01:10Z

Really fun and enjoyable! Nice job!

Teller Me More by hollowspecter 2019-05-04T14:11:14Z

Really fun and polished game. I hardly ran into any problems and the few that I did were probably my fault as a player. Great work!

AUTOTRANSPORT by C1FR1 2019-05-04T17:50:22Z

Really fun time killer game. Maybe it’s just me but my brain doesn’t want to stop playing for a while each time I pick it up

Stabman! by NoahRo 2019-05-05T17:31:10Z

I had a great time with this. It was a bit buggy and hard to grasp at first though

Piggy Butchery by Reality Blind 2019-05-04T18:24:31Z

Super fun and addictive! The graphics remind if binding of Isaac which is one of my favorite art styles. Very well done!

Haemogoblin by Dorkulon 2019-05-04T19:21:35Z

Great graphics and it has a nice polish for a jam game. Great work!

Current by Abdonatioera 2019-05-04T19:13:55Z

Fun and challenging, I’m not usually into puzzle type games but this one got me. Great work!

EXO by Firesplash Entertainment 2019-05-05T18:43:38Z

Really nice!

Zoltanya, Outdated Robot Fortune Teller by AzimuthGames 2019-05-04T17:48:52Z

Really cool take on the theme and really nice graphics. Ran into a few bugs here and there as any ld game would, but I’m not one to complain. Great job!

Project Slorgan: The Escape by CodeKoto 2019-05-04T17:01:23Z

I was genuinely surprised to see you haven’t gotten enough ratings yet. This game is super fun and well polished. Personally didn’t run into any bugs and it felt like playing a newly popular game on steam, rather than a jam game. Very well done.

Life Force by SamuelDeboni 2019-05-01T01:47:03Z

You hit a sweet spot with me here. I always love a shooter game. Great job!

CorrupSoul by Odlog Oglog 2019-05-04T17:54:50Z

Interesting game. Once I understood what to do I had a bit of fun with it. A common mistake or something jammers don’t have time to do is add an explanation for their game. A simple text describing the gameplay or controls would help tie the game together I think. Very fun once you understand though. Really nice entry

The Greatest Show by FranVadillo 2019-05-04T17:47:08Z

Very bizarre game, which is something very admirable though. I love games that give you a weird experience and leave you thinking “what the hell did I just play” great work, great graphics, great take on the theme, great game.

Little Dead Riding Hood by Aim 2019-05-04T21:23:47Z

Animations are really cute and the gameplay was really enjoyable. Well done!

BloodVirus by Team-on 2019-05-01T01:41:16Z

really nice submission! I really enjoy games with mechanics like this.

Money Golems Warriors by Buddaccio 2019-05-04T20:37:33Z

Lots of fun!

Powerless by m110 2019-05-04T17:06:23Z

Really nice game. Even though it has a lot already, I’m kinda surprised it doesn’t have more xd

BatteryWars by Sherlock527 2019-05-01T01:43:12Z

It's a good start. Keep at it, you've definitely got some potential ;)

NEKOBELLUM by Tozzo4316 2019-05-04T17:07:19Z

Had a great time playing. I love the graphics and game mechanics.

36th Bank of Mammon by rufia 2019-05-05T17:30:23Z

Really fun, great job.

bETween us by Zariel 2019-05-04T21:38:05Z

Very spooky game you’ve got here! An updated version of this game with a larger story would be great. You’ve developed a really good scary atmosphere, don’t let that go to waste!

Loot Goblin by Zeaga 2019-05-04T22:01:26Z

I love the music! I think it ties in really well with the game and art style. Very well done!

Bear of symph by Tolga 2019-05-04T22:41:26Z

Really nice. It isn’t following the theme (at least as far as I can tell) but it’s still a polished and fun little game. Well done!

PS if you want people to play your games, you gotta play and rate others games. The algorithm shows your game more the more games you’ve rated

Parkour De La Death by Codesity 2019-05-04T21:22:22Z

Super fun. I love this.

Impact! by JoshAnthony1990 2019-05-04T17:11:12Z

I started to understand the gameplay after trying about 4 times. It’d be nice to have some explanation of the controls and story at the start, rather than figuring it out on my own. Other than the the graphics are nice, and the gameplay ideas have a lot of potential. Great work!

Oh my blood! by hechi 2019-04-30T21:41:47Z

A great take on the theme! I love the dialogue and art style, as well as the simple yet challenging mechanics. My only few complaints are that you could still shoot while the dialogue was playing, and the dialogue was a bit slow. It'd be nice if there was a button to skip to the end of what the person was currently saying, rather than skipping the whole dialogue (and that option was only somtimes there). But overall very fun and polished game with a nice mindset for the theme!

Hemomancers by Aditya Kumar 2019-05-04T21:27:25Z

Really nice!

Your Life is Currency by nanocube75 2019-05-03T21:45:17Z

Really nice! I had a fun time and really enjoyed the humor. Maybe not most original title but still a solid entry!

Piggybanks in Space by Flying Dog Fish 2019-05-04T16:58:13Z

Very relaxing and enjoyable, it reminds me of one of those games you play ironically because you are bored of all your other games, and it turns out to be really good xd

Bring Home the Bacon by EatAtJoes 2019-05-04T19:10:07Z

The idea has a lot of potential. With more game design experience and more work on this game. I could see it as something really cool

Labour Micro by Luther-1 2019-05-04T21:35:29Z

Really nice game! It felt sort of empty/small. Which is completely understandable for a game made in a weekend. The concept is great, more stuff to do in the game just in general would be something that would make me pick it up again!

Truth of life by EddenSoft 2019-05-04T18:11:47Z

Fun and interesting little game. The mechanics are easily understandable and lets you slide right into the game. Great job!

Apocalypse Hero by Jon50 2019-05-04T20:05:35Z

With about 5 minutes of messing around I eventually understood the gameplay. And explanation and control list would be nice to avoid the experimenting st the start to understand the game. But overall really well done!

Let me go... by sadzanenyama 2019-05-04T20:39:12Z

Overall 5/5. Very addictive shooter game. Had tons of fun and played through it twice.

Contract Cleric by Vinay Rao 2019-05-04T18:05:19Z

A super fun mmo style game. I replayed is at least a dozen times xd. Super addictive and super fun. Very nice job!

Phaser's Edge by ComicSans 2019-05-04T21:28:17Z

Great graphical work and captivating story and gameplay! Amazing work!

Petulant Petrolheads by SeriouslyCrunchy 2019-05-04T21:36:48Z

Ui and graphics are quite simple but are well made. The gameplay is simple and captivating. Great work!

Blency by Nebrazif 2019-05-04T17:03:44Z

The gameplay is nice and consistent and remains challenging and addicting throughout. My only complaint is it’d have an amazing atmosphere with music and sound effects. A game over screen was also lacking but I still had a great time playing.

Bloodia by Sebastien Bourgeois 2019-05-04T20:02:56Z

The art style is very polished and the gameplay is simple yet addictive. Nice one!

My way to Hell (Unfinished) by Axelle Desquilbet 2019-05-03T21:37:14Z

It sucks you couldn't finish the game. similarly to @svdvorak I couldn't play very much of the game as the bugs sort of limited you. It seemed like it would have been a really good entry though. There is always next time!

Earn Your Life by aCactus 2019-05-04T21:41:50Z

Really cool text based games. I always love these sort of thing because the visual story all takes place in your mind and sort of forces your brain to create the environment described. Very admirable take on the theme.

Deenero by Carlos Salazar 2019-05-03T21:50:21Z

An oddly enjoyable game. My only complaint is the graphics are a bit inconsistent. (Illustrated enemies, but 8-bit character). Nice job!

TheDescent by geist_191 2019-05-04T16:52:33Z

Very clean and enjoyable game. Well done!

Kill The Money by Copper_Aardvark_Games 2019-05-04T17:58:27Z

@anion-z Thanks man! I really appreciate it!

Kill The Money by Copper_Aardvark_Games 2019-05-04T21:31:33Z

@zchen I appreciate it! Although I think it’d be fair to point out that you are in a bank in this game, and both the cash and coins are currency in shop rooms ;)

Kill The Money by Copper_Aardvark_Games 2019-05-04T22:22:48Z

@someone the exe runs on all 3 platforms ;)

Kill The Money by Copper_Aardvark_Games 2019-05-05T01:26:22Z

@oune thanks! As far as the theme, read my comment pinging zchen

Kill The Money by Copper_Aardvark_Games 2019-05-05T15:46:35Z

Tomorrow I’ll have time to fix the following bugs: Spikes hurting you when you are not touching them, spawning the same room twice, The mouse not directing where the player faces, rooms where you have to jump to shoot the enemies, and I’ll add statistics for guns in shop rooms, enemies having too much health, enemies not flashing when they get hurt, I will also add space as an alternative key for jumping @xlambein @skoggy @oune @sherlock527 @zchen @eduardo-yukio @sebastien-bourgeois @c0d3d @al-bueche @caveman54 @shunaky @garys @duke

Kill The Money by Copper_Aardvark_Games 2019-05-05T19:10:43Z

Yes @miu , I will add space as an alternative for jumping soon, and it’s normal for platformers to press down to fall off a platform.

Kill The Money by Copper_Aardvark_Games 2019-05-05T21:34:56Z

@fractal I tried to give it a new gameplay experience each time. So I built several pre made rooms that spawn in a different order. There is of course the bug where a room you’ve already been in gets generated again, and even worse right next to each other. Currently I have 9 rooms, plus the shop room, start room, chest room, and end room. I will add more in the future but basically I was going for something similar to enter the gungeon. In that game, the dungeon is randomly generated but with a very wide variety of pre built rooms, and a restriction of generating rooms that have already been used. I thought I correctly implemented such, but I suppose my code is flawed. On top of that there are only 9 rooms for the generator to choose from so this annoying bug is almost guaranteed. (This is mainly because I was running low on time and couldn’t make a wide variety of rooms.)

Transfusion by WubbaDuck 2019-05-04T21:51:17Z

Great take on the theme and really nice graphics!

Demon Apprentice by c0d3d 2019-05-04T19:27:52Z

Fun little game! I feel like some transitions would be nice as to get a better vibe of what’s happening. (Like when you go outside the map)

Arkane Defense by Eugen Eistrach 2019-05-04T20:09:46Z

I love how it seems basic graphics wise but the game is actually a bit of a challenge. It took me a few tries to win and I was motivated to keep trying each time. Great work!

Life Pact by jaoel 2019-05-04T18:18:02Z

I love the graphics to death and the gameplay is very clean and addictive. Incredible job!

LifeMutation by sparkysam5 2019-05-04T18:02:03Z

The game was a bit confusing at first, but once I understood it I had a lot of fun. Great entry!

The Money Hole by miu 2019-05-05T18:41:52Z

Really fun rpg game! Well done!

Age Waves by Notekri 2019-05-04T19:23:34Z

Simple yet addictive! Nice minimalist graphics and clean animations. 5/5 overall.

Merchants by ldjsq 2019-05-04T18:14:24Z

I had a lot of fun with it! Nice work!

MONGR by minor_gods 2019-05-01T01:42:23Z

great entry! I love the polished vibe of it all!

Herding Cats by Al Bueche 2019-05-04T19:16:29Z

Really fun gameplay and nice graphics. The vibe sorta reminded me of crowd city or swarm. Which are both very addictive game concepts. Good work!

Meter Maid DX by No Grapes Games 2019-05-03T21:46:23Z

Really cute game. I love the adorable art style and simple yet challenging gameplay. Great job!

Our Mechanical Life by qlqrcoisa 2019-05-04T21:49:38Z

A surprisingly intense and overwhelming experience. It felt great. The graphics could be better in my opinion, but other than that this is really something.

Coin War by jjones 2019-05-04T20:04:02Z

Perfect take on the theme. The game was captivating and really fun!

Croissants From Hell by Kimily 2019-05-04T21:29:11Z

Great stuff, and a solid entry!

LD45 — Start with nothing

The Legend of Sky Stones by Iluvatar 2019-10-07T15:56:44Z

I absolutely love the graphics! great story and gameplay. Solid entry!!

Homie The Homeless by KekkoDude 2019-10-07T16:16:46Z

I love the mellow story. I wish the texts were a bit larger. other than that great graphics and story, well done!

Thief! by MaximBegunov 2019-10-07T16:54:47Z

Super fun game! great take on the theme, and I absolutely love the graphics!

Vengeful Spirit by Jajakeim 2019-10-07T15:59:04Z

Awesome 1 bit graphical theme, really addictive gameplay, great job!

Modulizer by Kotie 2019-10-08T18:23:00Z

Difficult and captivating little game! Well done!

Monks Can Into Space by skill347 2019-10-08T18:23:35Z

graphics and sound give a great overall vibe. great work!

The Story by Kszaku 2019-10-13T16:33:56Z

epic

adventure again by gamefive 2019-10-08T18:26:42Z

I really like the paper art style. The controls are a little wonky in my opinion. Like sometimes it takes a while to speed up all the way, occasionally longer than other times. I really enjoyed the simple yet challenging gameplay, I only wish there was a more clear way to see where the end of a level was. Overall a very enjoyable game with a very unique art style. Well done!

Hat in Slime by Transkuja 2019-10-07T16:56:50Z

Super fun to play. I love the 3D graphics, It has a vibe of a professional game. great work!

Writers Block by Copper_Aardvark_Games 2019-10-07T16:50:03Z

@antti-haavikko My mistake. The zip has been updated.

Writers Block by Copper_Aardvark_Games 2019-10-07T16:51:34Z

@finalforeach That's odd. Did the game allow you to purchase upgrades dispite not have enough money?

Writers Block by Copper_Aardvark_Games 2019-10-07T20:05:30Z

@antti-haavikko My apologies, but I honestly don't know what else to do. I've rebuilt the mac build and uploaded a new zip once again, but I don't know if it helped anything. Unity's cross platform builds have never been the most flawless thing, I guess.

@ynneblack I really appreciate the feedback! Yeah I noticed those typos as well after i uploaded the final build. I spent the first 30 ish hours only working on mechanics and data classes. I worried about putting it all together visually last, so it was a bit rushed. I'll upload a new build where i fix them soon haha. I'll look into the upgrade bug as well. I'm glad you enjoyed the game, though!

A bit simple, only a few minutes of gameplay, But i enjoy the art and concept very much. Good job!

I love how you leave figuring out how the game works to the user. It creates a great feeling of mystery and curiosity. Very unique take on the theme. Great work!
