LD45 — Start with nothing

Quatocicople by xk_the_name 2019-10-08T18:24:40Z

Pretty fun but I would maybe like some more variation. Loved the music.

Drake Hits Rock Bottom by nervous-composers 2019-10-09T16:46:23Z

Cool game, it'd be good if you worked on the horizontal collision system you get stuck on walls and it's kind of annoying. Good graphics!

The Nothings by Stefanie Leitch 2019-10-09T15:40:40Z

Nice work, maybe could work a bit on that combat system but loved the music and theme! :D

Osage by tvle83 2019-10-08T19:38:15Z

Very beautiful game, I agree with some of the past comments. I feel the story at the start could be done differently or maybe optional. Very cool anyways, keep it up!

I didn't do my homwork by junjunlowpoly 2019-10-09T16:21:08Z

Great idea, a bit frustating to try to click sometimes. If you added lots of combinations it would be very fun!

Zen Man by Team Catwheel 2019-10-09T16:33:51Z

The sound is spot on, ambient, instruments, very nice. I would maybe mix up the gameplay after a bit o time but the game is simple and that fits with the theme you went with :D. Artstile fits amaizingly well too!

Robbie by Crochar 2019-10-08T19:40:55Z

@nachtwitch The action part comes near the end! :) The key is to try to explore every area. You may not be able to access some of them until you get the unbrella (far right). Then you can descend into the hole at the right of the spawn. Thanks for the feedback!

Robbie by Crochar 2019-10-08T20:03:45Z

@pashashef Thanks a lot :O We really appriciate you liking the game. A lot of effort went into this so it really is fulfilling to see comments like these. <3

Robbie by Crochar 2019-10-09T15:01:14Z

@artyom-volkov @bilalch213 Thanks for playing, the missing information is due to a lack of time. We didn't think we'd get to make an ending and we didn't plan for it. Thanks anyway!

Robbie by Crochar 2019-10-09T15:41:25Z

@marco-marchitelli Thanks <3

Robbie by Crochar 2019-10-09T17:53:24Z

@keseril thanks mate :)

Robbie by Crochar 2019-10-10T18:20:57Z

@simon-rahnasto Thanks for the kind words! I tried to make a level that would be fun to travel and that would force you to backtrack. I was insipred by metroidvania style games so glad you catched that! The crawling arm thing was the first idea we had so it is the heart of the game xD. Thanks for rating pal!

Robbie by Crochar 2019-10-10T19:10:16Z

@saintheiser Thanks for the compliments! I am not sure if I get why controls are too smooth for you... If you mean the low acceleration its to convey the feeling of being on a wheel. And if we didn't reduce the speed on the umbrella you could just fly by some of the level! I understand it tho, thanks!

Robbie by Crochar 2019-10-17T18:57:09Z

@pl4typus thanks a lot! We focused on getting the basics to feel great rather than making a big game, glad you appreciated the details. The downside of this kind of level design is that not everybody gets it :( but when you do it's really rewarding. Thanks for the feedback <3

Monks Can Into Space by skill347 2019-10-08T18:20:23Z

Pretty fun game, I loved the sounds. I wasn't clear on how to exit tho.

Darkness Harvest by Trobing 2019-10-09T16:15:40Z

Wow very original idea. Simple controls and fun expirience. I think some sounds and ambience could help A LOT. Good job!

Biohazard-XX by hiro.e 2019-10-08T19:20:25Z

Some type of graphics that helped the player know the guards vision or hearing range would be nice. Nice game tho.

In the beginning by nsadie 2019-10-08T19:15:29Z

A bit confused by how to pick up tings, clicking doesen't work somehow, very cool graphics tho!

It may be your story by Keseril 2019-10-09T15:54:59Z

Hey good job man! I have some constructing feedback to help a bit :D. In the sections where you are moving and nothing is on the screen you can't really tell if you are moving, you could add some particles or maybe a texture at the background. Also some sounds go a LOONG way, even just a quiet ambience could make this game come alive. I know toy can't implement that now but just for next time :D. This was fy first game jam too so well done! Loved the idea, keep it up!

It may be your story by Keseril 2019-10-09T16:11:49Z

@keseril Yeah I know TIME :(. It happened a similar thing to me. I think with experience you learn to plan better:). We'll learn with time!

Memories of Eleph by Leandroc 2019-10-09T16:08:55Z

There are some collision bugs but the graphics are just phenomenal. Great music choice too!

Learning the Human by Savvy Community 2019-10-09T16:02:39Z

I think some ambience or music could help a lot, also 'W' and 'A' keys do not work. maybe you could work on the logic of how the communication works because rignt now you just kind of guess xD. Neat art and sounds tho. <3

LD46 — Keep it alive

Division Decisions by Sn4pi 2020-04-22T13:42:33Z

Good execution. Heavy papers please inspiration. Maybe the font could be clearer.

HEART LORDS by Spooky 2020-04-21T12:20:55Z

Nice graphics, cool concept. Acceleration a bit low for my taste and sneaky nights are annoying xD Nice game!

Save GANIMEDE by Crochar 2020-04-21T18:37:15Z

@fire-phantom7 Glad you liked it! We really spent time (maybe too much) on the visuals. Thanks for the feedback.

Save GANIMEDE by Crochar 2020-04-21T18:38:29Z

@kitjenson I understand your point, at the end we realized maybe we needed a deeper gameplay for such an intro. Thanks for playing.

Save GANIMEDE by Crochar 2020-04-21T18:39:03Z

@mightycode Yeah nailing the music was hard, glad you liked it!

Save GANIMEDE by Crochar 2020-04-21T18:39:58Z

@thewustache Thanks, we added the intro to give a sense of purpose and it seems it worked!

Save GANIMEDE by Crochar 2020-05-02T07:33:36Z

@m-trigo We thought the intro thing was important and since you probably only play once this game we left it unskippable. The water effect was a thing we wanted to do but we prioritized other things, th would have been cool though. The game is hosted on itch.io too, we didn't put the link tho, it should be fixed now!

Terraform Mars by TK07 2020-04-23T11:19:44Z

Very nice art and effects. Loved the setting and mechanics.

Keep IT Alive by anhel 2020-04-21T12:07:54Z

Good entry! Fun concept. Some of the sounds were a bit rough. Nice one!

Blood & Sawdust by mcprog 2020-04-21T18:56:02Z

The sounds could use some polishing, and your companion is a bit weird. Other than that fun game!

Rabbit Guillotine by miki_keyo 2020-04-21T12:28:15Z

Nice music!

The Zeppelin by Deluxe Duck 2020-04-21T19:01:02Z

Oh another game about a zeppelin! Nice work.

Roadkill by JeanBis 2020-04-21T12:15:14Z

Cool game! nice controls. The sounds when a level is completed annoy a little bit and the hand would be scarier with soime nice sfx. Cool!
