LD45 — Start with nothing

Little Robot Run by KunoNoOni 2019-10-13T15:52:43Z

Nice little platformer, good stage design and nice puzzles. I found the jump a bit floaty, however, I liked the way that the features are being found around the game. Good job

Abstractio by loyance 2019-10-08T00:19:39Z

Very nice game, good logical development of the concepts. Made for scientists, haha

Soulcraft by sawtan 2019-10-07T20:26:28Z

Good starcraft like graphics!

Outside the BOX by IcyLava 2019-10-07T21:03:43Z

Amazing minimalist visual!

Nüllptr by egordorichev 2019-10-07T19:56:55Z

Great polished game, loved the aesthetics!

Drake Hits Rock Bottom by nervous-composers 2019-10-13T15:56:31Z

Really liked the graphics in this platformer, I also had a lot of problems getting stuck on the walls and avoiding damage, despite that, nice job.

Amnesiac Adventurer by justinooncx 2019-10-08T15:27:17Z

Haha, nice and fun idea! simple aesthetic and smooth controls, there's a lot of nice puzzles that can be done with it.

Reboot Royale by Webox 2019-10-07T22:26:21Z

Good simple idea, couldn't do much on the game though, however, nice sounds and visuals.

Among by Antti Haavikko 2019-10-08T16:15:00Z

Very good puzzle game, got me trying many times to pass the blocks and with the right sequence of apples. The mood was set well with the nice art and sounds.

Euro Farm by Enver Arco 2019-10-07T22:11:53Z

Simple idea and good vibe, I agree that the euro didn't come too well. Good job!

Song of Creation by anttiviljami 2019-10-07T22:13:17Z

Nice mechanics using audio as input. Good job!

Neon Void by egawag 2019-10-07T21:00:26Z

Great minimal aesthetic, loved the effects, and the ground is amazing! Really enjoyed the mood.

Teotl by Dumivid 2019-10-07T20:51:08Z

Really liked the visuals. It was simple but innovative ^^

Paws of Gold by Swen 2019-10-08T19:47:56Z

Very nice idea and implementation, I liked the art style a lot and it is fun to play!

Conception by ToxicComputer 2019-10-07T22:00:16Z

Nice story telling, liked the mood as well. Fun to discover how it will develop.

Real-time Gardener by sebastianscaini 2019-10-07T14:29:24Z

Just like the real world, takes forever to grow something, would be nice to have a fast forward, haha =P. Nice visuals though

When Nothing Came by velvetlobster 2019-10-08T15:21:18Z

Amazing experience, one of the best games, the interaction with the texts is amazing and the story really well written ^^.

Creators and Beings by rhewid 2019-10-07T20:10:03Z

Good aesthetic and animations, nice game ^^

Cast Away by OrdiNeu 2019-10-07T19:44:31Z

Nicely done, great mechanics ^^

The Game of Mao by Danny88881 2019-10-07T20:37:23Z

Beautiful game, fun to play and nice rules and puzzles!

Pandamonium by Maytch 2019-10-07T22:30:27Z

The movement mechanics weren't to soft, but nice visuals. Good job!

Slinger by Bungalow 2019-10-07T22:16:06Z

Great game, nice features to find out how to use. Kind of reminds me of Super meat boy.

Palely by Fluffy_Kaeloky 2019-10-07T22:51:52Z

Great and interesting mechanics, very immersive. Couldn't find many things around though.

The beginning of the end by Thomas_Bringer 2019-10-07T17:40:07Z

Very good, innovative, great usage of the time concept. I used the Soul and Ego concepts in mine ^^

バクラウBloodless by Danilo Freire 2019-10-08T16:07:11Z

Amazing art and nice mechanics, I really enjoyed the simple idea and controls. Mood is set great. Great work!

J'Accuse! by bobotast 2019-10-07T22:07:10Z

Very good art style, I'm pretty bad at it though =P.

Something by Martynas 2019-10-07T21:29:18Z

Nice mechanics and features, I love minimal games and you've done it nicely.

Robogon by OgelGames 2019-10-09T12:05:07Z

Good implementation, would be nice if you could rotate the pieces and have some scenarios to play with the bot. I really like the idea, I've seen it in a game called Robot Arena from 2001, I loved that one ^^. Good job!

Stress reaction by hisa 2019-10-08T15:37:58Z

Very nice horror game, immersive even more with the voice acting, and man, the art is really good. Although the flight action is freezing the game and got some other little freezes during it, it is really well done!

Sluggish Grind by Catusfelony 2019-10-08T16:00:20Z

Enjoyable game, peaceful since it is a slug. Reminds me of good old games.

!Another Chance by aleksandar2901 2019-10-08T18:53:01Z

Nice narrative, liked the mechanic with the options. Just improving the artwork can make it an amazing game. Good job

It never started with nothing by Lukvasando 2019-10-07T20:44:44Z

Very innovative, great mechanics! The mood really kicks in.

The Legend of Nüdacus by dummydojo 2019-10-07T22:35:24Z

Very polished game, fun to play and amazing art style.

Cult War by Ksandr7 2019-10-07T21:18:55Z

Amazing visual and good story on top of a simple mechanic, loved the concept.

Empty Soul by Danielcmcg 2019-10-07T12:25:51Z

Just updated it, thanks ^^

Empty Soul by Danielcmcg 2019-10-07T13:01:37Z

@bobotast Probably you're getting killed by the snakes, since all the "powers" have a contra effect and also hurt himself, as our Ego does ^^

Empty Soul by Danielcmcg 2019-10-07T20:53:36Z

@danny88881 Yeah man, it would bu nice, but I'll be more prepared next time! Thanks

Empty Soul by Danielcmcg 2019-10-08T18:50:28Z

Thank you guys, I really appreciate your feedback!

Empty Soul by Danielcmcg 2019-10-08T19:20:20Z

Thank you @wansou, it's not a glitch, it's just that the items also affect the movement mechanic a bit, I guess you had the crown with you. A bit of work on the game design would show it better.

Empty Soul by Danielcmcg 2019-10-11T21:50:11Z

Thanks @jusw85, it's related to the Soul and Ego. In ancient texts mostly, and spiritual or philosophical modern ones, is said that the Ego is not a feeling, nor is the real you, but a reflect of your desires that are hidden inside your being. On the other hand, your Soul is the actual essence of you and the actual you in a way, and to be truly aware of who you are, you have to be "empty" (the meaning of "empty" in that context is a bit complicated). Well, that what it's about ^^. Hope I could explain a bit.

Empty Soul by Danielcmcg 2019-11-02T01:16:11Z

Thanks, @brokenmirrormedia, I also consider it my first, did it alone, the actual first I didn't know what was ludum dare and only did coding without interacting with the community. About the graphics category, I would opt out if I had understand the rules better, read the info but it said you could use assets and lots of people do use them in many parts of the game, I I didn't use any other assets, whole code from nothing (like the theme), I thought it was about what you have or not in the game and I actually mounted the whole scenario. Anyway, following the whole process of voting and interacting is the best way to understand. I still don't understand about people continuously improving the game after the end of the 72 hours.

Back to the game, the challenge was to fit the concept of soul and ego and the history with the idea of gaining a skill would make you loose in some other, so i got stuck trying to think about this balance and didn't do much of work on the level design to show it in a proper way to the player. Well, thanks again, this ludum dare was a good learning experience.

Alone by Fragment Games 2019-10-07T21:34:20Z

Great simple concept and amazing art! Really liked the idea and its fun to play.

Keep Me Burning by NavrcL 2019-10-10T13:54:50Z

Very good game overall, nice controls, aesthetic and sound! I liked the puzzle idea simple yet challenging got me trying a lot of times and the respawn with doors already opened is indeed a good way to make you feel the game progressing.

Cell Defense by WanSou 2019-10-08T19:52:28Z

Good game, it is fun to play just to see how the next "powers" will behave. Great job.

OM The Word by Kisann 2019-10-07T19:55:09Z

Very nice one, amazing concept! Nice mood an sound.

LD46 — Keep it alive

Keep the Garden Alive by gamepopper 2020-04-22T17:19:31Z

Fair graphics and simple mechanics, nice Compo one!

Doomsday Feelings by biemorth 2020-04-22T00:11:01Z

Really great aesthetic and mood, the controls feel good too. Amazing job

BEARable apples by FlyingKiwi 2020-04-21T23:59:00Z

Great game with graphics that fit well for the purposed theme too, I can see kids learning with it to take care of trees ^^

Pacman's Dream by Danielcmcg 2020-04-22T12:23:23Z

Thank you all for the comments so far, really appreciate the feedback. Every one of them is a great tip and I'll try my best to incorporate them later.

For the jam time it was what happened to be ^^

Pacman's Dream by Danielcmcg 2020-04-22T19:44:06Z

Thank you for the feedback, @gonutz. And about the Audio, Fuuuuuuuck!!! It was unintentional, I opted out the wrong category, I was frustrated and tired at the end and didn't see it.

Defend the swarm by Defenestration 2020-04-22T16:43:54Z

Good progression, fairly simple graphics but smooth mechanics. Good job!

Space Station Alpha by kjscott 2020-04-22T18:31:35Z

Nicely done, great mechanics, it feels good to find the way when move.

Pass it On by Ryan Jung 2020-04-22T12:50:06Z

Wow, nice idea, that old kids game reviewed for good. Thank you!

Journey to the center of the body by Sanjana 2020-04-21T23:49:32Z

Good idea of being swallowed into the body. Nice graphics, however took me some time to control it correctly.

Feed the dog by mungobulge 2020-04-22T17:09:44Z

Nice art style! This was one of the ideas I had to drop due to the theme, kill the whole forest, but keep the dog alive =P. Nice implementation though. Great job.

Keep Him Alive by KeepingHimAlive 2020-04-22T17:14:49Z

Man, that was fun! The freaking guy just dont care about all the available salads haha, why!!??!! Thanks, and nice job on the pathfinder.

LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Loop Heart by NeithR 2020-10-14T22:11:39Z

Cute little game, nicely connected to the theme and its really fun to play. Maybe that previous suggestions of hearts limit can make it more challenging.

Stuck in a portal by YANIV 2020-10-06T21:32:50Z

Amazingly linked to the theme. Fun and we'll polished. I really liked how you brought the funniest part of portal (being stuck in those loops) to a 2D game!

W.M.L.F by Webox 2020-10-05T18:03:33Z

Really innovative mechanic, also, really nice art style. Took me a while to adapt to the controls in the keyboard though.

One Can Do! by EvoGenGames 2020-10-05T13:22:00Z

Good promotion of the OCD topic. Right in the theme! The game is quite short, some driver thoughts popping up would be great to understand the feeling.

Roller Riches by dxk2294 2020-10-08T12:07:44Z

Awesome game, I got really into it. There is a point where sooo much money starts coming in with no limit and it is really fun so you can explore all the updates!

Time Crash by Gonzalol 2020-10-07T12:04:27Z

Amazingly done. Gets you easily into the game loop playing many times!

WhileLoops by Ausstein 2020-10-05T12:22:20Z

Amazing game, you even learn some coding and simple math. Thanks for that one!

Line of Attack by dans17 2020-10-07T12:08:51Z

Nice mechanic, I really liked the attack being done on the drawn line. The camera follow during the drawing makes it harder to draw, I think would be ok to let the camera in the player. Great job.

Mandala Spa by Danielcmcg 2020-10-05T09:12:01Z

Thank you all for the feedback! :heart:

@evogengames, Very good tips, the value limits are really important, I'll clamp it and maybe add a tooltip. Also, I'll think on how to better guide the player.

Mandala Spa by Danielcmcg 2020-10-05T13:36:19Z

Thank you all :heart: :heart:

@james-joubert, In game programming is one of the things I really like to implement. The music, though, is was chosen because of the clarinet on top, but I think I'll starting suggesting the players to, if they feel so, mute and play a nice relaxing music of their own taste ^^.

That's true, @bukkaketears, The feedback on the UI is very important and you brought some good points. I'll make sure to work a bit more on the UI for the next version.

Mandala Spa by Danielcmcg 2020-10-20T15:08:47Z

Thanks for the feedback ❤️❤️❤️. Regarding the controls feel not intuitive at the beginning, it surely need some work on the UI, maybe a tooltip too. Regarding the angle, it definitely needs that tooltip. It is in degrees, but this is degree/frame

Group Chat by Meatball 2020-10-16T22:52:05Z

Simple and amazing! How **connected** to the theme. The whole scene with those same characters walking and doing what can be done in that game could be a 30 minutes part of a Jodorowsky movie.

Eloi's Adventure by Convg 2020-10-05T16:58:33Z

Great recording feature. Overall nice little game, besides the hard controls, the puzzles are good and, using that feature, it is open to even more

Froot Loops Delivery Job by InefficientChunkOfCode 2020-10-06T22:12:21Z

Literally stuck in a loop, funniest interpretation I've seen. Great job!

[LD47] Falling Asleep by Dark Dungeon Studio 2020-10-05T13:47:10Z

The whole game seems pretty solid for the amount of work time. Really liked the tutorial, transitions, all the things that wrap the gameplay. I couldn't combining the second couple of things though, and also got negative mental health without ending the game, so I think I really got stucked in that loop.

HamsterLoop by Misterm 2020-10-07T12:19:33Z

Nice puzzle game! I liked that it is hard at the beginning until get the way to control. The movement could use a bit of inertia to soften the side change. Overall nice job!

Dead Loop by Tom_A 2020-10-07T12:13:26Z

Really nice to see the NPCs attacking each other end becoming zombies ^^, great job!

Ayumi's Day by Capt.Theo 2020-10-14T15:38:03Z

I liked a lot the animations and the idea of combining keys to perform different jumps, great mechanic that fit well with the game visuals. I only had a hard time trying to jump to the higher platforms, usually getting stuck randomly trying different distances and hoping that the second jump would reach the spot without success.

I'm not sick!! by YHY_games 2020-10-05T13:15:32Z

Good job there, a nice little game. I also thought there's no point in closing the mouth and enemies spawn a bit too fast.

Looped Fellas by BukkakeTears 2020-10-05T13:52:48Z

Amazing art style, the whole visuals, the UI, all awesome. Liked a lot that it is kind of a reality show, they even give us shit to eat! hahaha Thanks for the game.

10 Seconds from Death by brads.space 2020-10-06T22:01:19Z

Nice looking game! The mechanics and the animations are very good. However, I didn't find it too close to the theme, or maybe I'm interpreting it in a different way

LoopIn by Dani Tufeld 2020-10-22T15:26:23Z

Nice game. Simple and fun to play, the animations are well made and the puzzles have a good progression. Good job on that!

F#@#! Its Christmas Again by Unicornfrog 2020-10-08T11:42:07Z

Amazing art, and it's really cool that you can see the other dead players and their score. Nice polished game, the whole environment just looks great!

Stuck Until Discovered by newbieDev 2020-10-05T13:26:32Z

Good job there. Quite simple game and liked the visuals, the jump, though is reeealy floaty and unstable.
