LD39 — Running out of Power

PLASMAGUN! by yuigoto 2017-08-09T09:13:49Z

This game already felt very polished, wow! I really enjoyed the death-animation of enemies, felt very satisfying. The music and graphics were also nice and fitting. Controls felt also precise. However, I'd prefer more variety, maybe more enemies, another weapon? But overall a great entry!

Hello! A great entry. I liked the music (although the loop could have been longer or have a better transition). Controls were a little bit weird? Why not have WASD as controls, and space as shooting key? But that's a matter of taste I guess.

Theme was definitely met, however, I am not a real fan of the game mechanics to be honest. Firstly, the range of the attack is way too short. I died very often trying to kill enemies. Secondly, why even bother killing enemies? It just consumes energy and you do not really get any real benefit from it.

What I really liked though was the structured and solid tutorial, and the platforming itself was also fun! Maybe make enemies drop energy (or make killing enemies necessary), make the range of the attack longer, add better use for the jetpack, and then you could get a solid platformer!

Looks very polished and was fun to play with! Music and graphics were also great!

Neat game. I really like the mixture between having to plan forward, managing energy, but also timing your steps in order to avoid getting hit. However I got stuck at level 8 :(

Power Of A Kinght (POAK) by GOOY 2017-08-01T13:21:30Z

I really like this one. The music is amazing, as are the animations and graphics. Though it was very hard for me, I only got past the first night after many times of trying. But overall a great entry!

Wow! Amazing art, great idea! In the beginning it was very hard, since I didn't know that people regenerate their health in the pool, I thought they always die. But after I figured it out it was fun to play!

@fusionnist Thank you for your nice words! You are absolutely right, enemies should spawn on multiple locations and the cursor should be used for placing turrets. Our game also lacks a tutorial, like many pointed out. But we lacked time during the jam for those things. However, we do plan on improving the game and releasing a post-jam version. And of course you can upload recorded gameplay! :)

Really great entry! The gameplay feels already very polished. Graphics and music are also fitting.

Nice interpretation of the theme. However, I got stuck a few times and had to start over, which was kind of frustrating, also a custom skybox would have been nice. The music was great and proper!

Extincti by FooMar 2017-08-10T21:56:13Z

Really solid entry! Wow. Felt already very polished. The graphics might could use some revisions, and the music was a bit too happy for the scenario in my opinion. But besides those things, a really fun game!

Also the theme was met more than once, so great job!

I like the abstract textures, those really fit the game. The "getting hit" and explosion effects are also really enjoyable. Overall gameplay needs a bit more depth though in my opinion. My highscore was 57.12

Alone on Mars by Konio Softworks 2017-08-02T11:39:26Z

That's the entry with the best graphics I've seen so far. Besides the animation of the main character (which look a little bit too wobbly for my taste) this looks and sounds amazing. The gameplay is also a nice idea. If you have invested a little bit more time on a tutorial (which is totally understandable something to neglect in a jam), explanations for items, and a bit more depth, go release it on Steam or somewhere!

Definitely made me chuckle in the end! The trail is a great feature.
