LD23 — Tiny World

Disregard All Humans by Fireblend 2012-04-23T17:35:00

Absoltely awesome! It was a bit easy though, and got repetitive :) Art looked great, and music was good too! What did you use to make the music?

The Good Ship Higgs Boson by Jezzamon 2012-04-25T10:59:00

Awesome little game! Simple gameplay, but gets really complex quickly, movement is fluid, feels nice, and is fun! Awesome little puzzle game, good job!

Little Sky.... by davisan 2012-04-25T10:39:00

Seemed like a nice idea, story scrolled far too slowly to get through it though, so I ended up skipping it :p Seemed like a good concept, but it was kinda hard to play, blocks kept falling through the wall if I stood too close, and I could float up the walls just by holding jump and moving towards the wall

Pow! Pow! Pow! by Cake&Code 2012-04-24T23:20:00

Very nice! The art style was unique, beautiful, and yet strange! It was pretty difficult, but I managed to finish it (Atleast, I think I finished it? I got to to the end of the stage where it wouldn't scroll anymore ,but there was no kind of end? :p)

Good fun, some sound effects might have made it a lot more immersive though!

Conqueror by Hume 2012-04-25T01:16:00

Nice idea :) Sadly, my geography is terrible! And I did badly! :p Seemed like a nice concept though, albeit a tad weird ;)

Chip Wars by Parthon 2012-04-24T23:25:00

I really like the idea :) Placement mechanics were really cool too, but once I had some things down, I wasn't too sure what to do :p Definately a cool concept, would've been nice to see it fleshed out some more!

Tiny Island by Zathnic 2012-04-24T20:20:00

Not bad :) Was too hard though, I got stuck a few levels in :p Reminded me of Sokoban, but nice twist! Too hard! D:

Last World by Jiddo 2012-04-25T10:50:00

Nice! I like the graphical style :) Very nice and clean! Gameplay was fun, although it got stale a bit quickly, or I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing! :p tutorial was added nicely, and wasn't annoying, unlike a lot of tutorials!

A Drop of Water by canary40 2012-04-23T13:12:00

Nice :) Some more visible background-art might've been nice, but it was quite good fun :) Controlls worked well, although I couldn't get fast enough to get away from the big.. thing.
:D Good work!

Robots Are Red, Violets Are Blue by David Durham 2012-04-23T19:57:00

Very nice! Love the idea, and the art :) It's good fun :)

Pity you can't move a foot again once it's back without tapping the other foot first though, but the controls aren't too bad once you get used to it :D Good job!

ACTION SCIENCE DOG by bburbank 2012-04-25T01:23:00

Awesome! By the time I got to level 3 though, the game really lagged out, to the point where it was using 97% cpu, and was running at about 5fps :( Not sure why, maybe it's not disposing entities properly when they're offscreen / between levels? Was good fun though, although I was kinda confused at times, with chests appear out of nowhere o_O But it was good fun, nice idea, nice execution! :D

Lost Oxide by SidetrackGames 2012-04-25T00:41:00

Really nice Mood & Style you have going on! Pity some of the killing.. things? Were completely unexpected, so when you fell on them, you didnt get time to react, just had to learn the levels, but good fun :) Controls were nice, but it might've been nice to have them feel a bit smoother instead of so sudden!

Managed to beat it, pity there was no ending scene or anything though! :(

Enter The Mechanism by Lotsa 2012-04-24T23:32:00

Checkpoints would've made this a lot funner :) Having to go back to the start became to be a bit of a pain, I died quite a lot :p Nice game though! When you just spawn, you're invincible for a second ago... I used to it to jump on the spikes, because hey, I can >:]

Simple and easy to grasp

Some sound effects would've been really nice, just some quick ones using BFXR/SFXR would've been good :D

Gale Axile by free_napalm 2012-04-24T17:36:00

Awesome idea :) Pulled off well, art style is really nice, but it's bloody hard! :p Good game

Tiny Worlds by Lidfrid 2012-04-24T23:42:00

First off, awesome! I love the font you've used! The whole graphical style is really nice! Gameplay idea is good too, and pulled off quite well, except it has a few bugs :p

1. You can still control your dot after you've left the orbit. So, if you slow down enough, you can just float wherever you want to go by holding that direction for long enough!
2. The music... it was funny I guess :p Wasn't too bad, but it something a bit more mysterious / sciency sounding could've made the mood a lot better!
3. At the end.. if you keep pressing enter... you keep adding the gravity field! http://i.imgur.com/r8jL6.png I was the most beautiful of all the worlds!

Seriously though, it was pretty awesome! Good job!

Cricket in a Bottle by barcode 2012-04-23T19:42:00

Looks good! That's one hell of a bottle :p
FYI, I wasn't able to pick up this orby thing: http://i.imgur.com/nHwvY.jpg (Ontop of the mushroom near the next of the bottle), jumping into it did nothing :) Nice work though!

Don't mess with magical cube by toadd-y 2012-04-23T20:10:00

Nice! But damn, that starts hard right off the bat! I wasn't much good at it, but it was fun, and hard XD

Good job!

Also, the text at the start looked pretty bad on my machine, really hard to read, not sure if that was a general issue or just something specific to me? And it took me a while to work out you had to press space to continue :D

WTF LEMME OUT!!! by aquasheep 2012-04-25T02:08:00

Download link worked fine here

stack::tracer() by nihilocrat 2012-04-23T17:12:00

Awesome! Brilliant concept, I love it! Controls are nice and tight, Audio could've used a bit of work, but I loved the feel of it :)

I managed to break the game by holding X and spamming up and down :p Camera zoomed right out and wouldn't come back in. Good work!

Tiny Shelf by Lord_X 2012-04-25T10:44:00

Not bad :) I like the concept, and the avoding the flashlight seemed like a cool idea, but it's hard to tell when you're hidden or not! Adding checkpoints would've been nice too, so you didnt have to go back to the start all the time :)

Wunderworld by ratking 2012-04-23T23:20:00

Awesome! Good idea, pulled off really well, easy to use! Would've been really nice to have a prebuild level with it, or an easy way to save/load levels from a textbased format that we could drop in the comments :p

Audio Land by triplefox 2012-04-25T02:06:00

This was cool, fun to play with :D However, I'm terrible at audio, and couldn't get it to sound too good :p It's quality as a 'game', and how well it fits to the theme is a stretch, but it was good fun, and interesting, so hell, I'm cool with it :D

tinyConquest by Galaxy613 2012-04-24T23:13:00

Awesome! The UI was a little intimidating at first, would've probably be nicer to have the buttons that are at the side, pop up under the currently selected zone, but once I worked it out, it wasn't too bad! Fun little game, nice idea! The retro art style was nice too :D

Drop of Life by MrTwister 2012-04-24T01:51:00

Nice! That's the first time I've seen game of life turned into a strategy game! Graphics looks great, really nice consistant art style :)


Good fun, nice job :D

Forever Alone by ra4king 2012-04-25T00:08:00

This was awesome! 5* for mood, it was so relaxing to play, good fun too :p I tried about 6 times, but still died, but itwas good fun >:] Would've been nice to have other planets attack you or something, give you a bit more to aim at with upgrading your planet, etc, but it was fun! Nice work!

Astronautics by Corné Dorrestijn 2012-04-24T23:03:00

Nice! Pretty simple, gets straight to gameplay!

I did shoot the rocket before the planet had even come on screen a few times by accident though, causing it to end straight away :p

Little Mischief Makers by netguy204 2012-04-24T02:18:00

Awesome game!
This was really good fun! Took me a while to work out what I was meant to be doing though :p Got really awesome when I found the horizontal cutter/digger thing :D

Only suggestion would be to make the movement a little more responsive, maybe just a constant velocity horizontally instead of the acceleration? Felt a little sluggish at times!

Great work! :D

Astro Break by hulahulahest 2012-04-24T05:11:00

Really awesome! Everything fitted together really well, crisp, beautiful pixel art, fun, simple gameplay!

Awesome work!

Untitled, So Far by angrygeometry 2012-04-23T23:45:00

Started in fullscreen mode, which was a huge turnoff, but since it's already messed up everything, might aswell play it now :(

What... what is this?

This is weird :D

..I have no idea what i'm playing... the TV... everything is wierd.... the house.... I walked through the walls... into a room via the exit... and ended up outside?

....Whaaaat? The soda machine... makes clones of me? Which.. ... disappear?

Alright, I'm out. I have no idea what I just played :D
http://i.imgur.com/7EXyN.png

Predominantly Tiny World by Graham Weldon 2012-04-23T12:59:00

Very nice :) Was a bit slow to move around, and I kept shooting at the big one in the sky I think, which you can't shoot at? :D Not sure, but it was fun :) Nice work on the art!

Dave is in a Fish Tank by Toast 2012-04-24T23:47:00

Nice little game! The random item bit was slightly annoying, at times I'd get a silly amount of spikes and nothing else!

I like the idea ^^ It was good fun, but I killed dave quite a few times D: *whistles* Nice work!

Super Fun Crushy Time! by Darkfrost 2012-04-23T12:43:00

When you're smaller than the cats, they damage you, when you're bigger... om nom nom :)

Super Fun Crushy Time! by Darkfrost 2012-04-23T17:47:00

Someone mentioned problems with the links not working, so here's a dropbox mirror of the web version, if you have a problem: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/41459127/WebPlayer.html

SpaceMission Part 2 by Muu? 2012-04-23T17:40:00

Awesome! Ship controls nicely, good fun too! Might've been worth making it so you could hold the shoot button though, I could get a almost solid line of bullets out with my button mashing powers, although my wrist hurt after :)

Good game, too hard though! :D A Health bar might've been nice :p

Buggy, Tank and Missile Launcher!!! by Vic 2012-04-24T02:20:00

Wow, this was amazing! Graphics looked *really* good, darn your unity pro? :D Great fun, especially when you can actually tell how much money you have ;) It's hard, but awesome fun, good job!

Professor Squeaks: The Circuitous Escape! by envy3d 2012-04-25T00:28:00

This was pretty good fun! :D It took me a while to work out what exactly I was doing with the puzzle, but once I worked it out, it was good fun! Managed to finish it, pity it was so short, I'd love to play it with more levels and more components! :p Good job! Some music might've been nice, but good job on the sound effects, however it was that you made them? Pitch shifted voice or something? ^^

Nom Nom? by dastry 2012-04-23T17:08:00

Not bad for you second game :) Waaaay better than your last 'entry', good job!

Buggiest Game Ever by speciesUnknown 2012-04-24T23:54:00

Nice! First js game I've seen in this LD :)

Gameplay was a bit slow, having it faster would've been nice, and SFX would've really added a lot, but good job! It was fun!

Spamming the send monsters now button was a laugh! http://i.imgur.com/Bfx2Q.png
Delete pheromones button didn't seem to work for me btw :(

LD25 — You are the Villain

Picker Pocketer by Entity2D 2012-12-20T19:35:00

Nice job! Took a simple idea and executed it well! I have no idea how you chose your timing for the button presses, but it seemed pretty much perfect, although it might've been nicer if you started it easier and gradually made it harder!

Doctor Spandex by Cássio Eduardo 2012-12-21T17:48:00

Absolutely awesome! Controls let the game down a tiny bit, but it was great fun! Loved the art style, only complaint is having to start over when you lose a level, should restart the current level :)

Good work!

Oh No My Earl by olkeencole 2012-12-21T19:19:00

Could not place pots, great idea though.

Crazy Dr. Banana's Pursuit of The Goat of Good by NeiloGD 2012-12-18T05:59:00

Ahaha, this was awesome fun, although I am terrible at whistling, so this was incredibly hard for me

Anyway, by the time I won, I was significantly better at whistling, so thanks I guess :D

If my housemates complain to me tomorrow about me shouting PCHEW at 6am, I blame you!

(Also, to anyone having any problems getting it to work when you have a working mic, try disabling any other sound recording devices in your audio settings then relauching it)

Villain Tower Defender by Eamon 2012-12-21T18:40:00

Pretty, loved the scoreboard

Terminal by BenW 2012-12-18T06:11:00

Pretty good game, I really like the visual style :D
Seems pretty hard to escape the white blood cells though, and it going back to the first level on death kinda sucked :(

Abrupt Salvation by NostraDamon 2012-12-20T00:52:00

Really good, nice everything overall and funny ^^

ECHO CHAMBER by Loren 2012-12-22T11:20:00

Nice game! The tie-in with the theme was pretty loose, but then again, pretty much every game was this time (I blame the theme :p)

Simple idea, nice execution! Pretty hard to play on a touchpad, the simplistic graphics were nice, but varied in style a bit, good job though! :D

Cow Stealer by ParaPup 2012-12-20T00:56:00

Good for first game, aim a bit higher though.

ASMOSNOS by Mase 2012-12-20T01:05:00

pretty coools weird but coools

Villain's base management by har_g 2012-12-20T00:58:00

I enjoy'd it! played to the end! Good job! Day1 dlc?

Planet Xulub by lekiy 2012-12-21T19:28:00

the hook feature was pretty nice made a unique game

Bad Bad Pigeon by Andrey Pradun 2012-12-20T01:16:00

Great game difficulty was a bit hard due to bouces but good

Puny Heroes by Blooperly 2012-12-21T18:27:00

Kill Kong by shaneshanekavanagh 2012-12-21T18:55:00

Good gameeee loved it ^^

Mitt Romney and the Case of the Sex Doll by jackspinoza 2012-12-21T20:42:00

pretty wacked but alright

Balloon Frenzy 4: Turbo Edition by theRestlessTaxidermists 2012-12-20T19:08:00

pretty coool

Tale of Scale by ratking 2012-12-25T03:32:00

This was absolutely amazing! Spent a while WTF'ing about what was going on until I realized it!

Loved the last level, such a simple goal, but so hard to pull off until you get your head around the mechanic :) And then it gets pretty easy!

Please, please, please develop this into a full game!

One thing that might of been nice is the ability to rotate whatever you're holding, although I got the hang of that later by the jumping around it and picking it up!

Infernal Goat by Atridas 2012-12-20T15:52:00

confusing graphics that affect the understanding of the game but pretty cool otherwise

Educational Tractor Kingdom by Darkfrost 2012-12-20T08:46:00

We had a health pick up to start with but think it got lost in the confusion XD We had a few problems right at the end when we planned to balance thus the second level came out like it did.. we're hoping to polish it and make a balanced version at some point!

Educational Tractor Kingdom by Darkfrost 2012-12-20T13:42:00

Small tip on the second level - Do not touch the cherry trucks! Avoid them all costs

Educational Tractor Kingdom by Darkfrost 2012-12-21T20:19:00

Health fuel mattercollected energy, then the other blacked out pictures where equipable wepons on the nums.

Yeh we never did get round to fixing the collisions XD

Educational Tractor Kingdom by Darkfrost 2012-12-22T19:19:00

The icons from left to right were:
Health (%)
Fuel (%)
Matter collected (% to the next upgrade)
Energy (%, this is needed for certain weapons)

Then there are various icons showing you the state of your weapons, depending on which you have unlocked

Acidman by Stavu 2012-12-20T20:34:00

Loved the way the acid mechanic worked, thought the puzzle/level design was great and the degree of polish is just completely admirable. If i was to have one negative its that i was quite frustrated with the slightly to slow speed in which the character falls. I felt that it made gameplay less satisfying and it was at times annoying, for example, when i wanted to jump off a falling platform, but the platform was moving faster than the player and my character was left falling above with nothing to jump off. Still a brilliantly made game.

Dr. Villano by GetFun 2012-12-21T19:22:00

noiceeeeeee, feeels very very good

Execution Chamber (Now a Jam entry) by Kaslai 2012-12-20T22:32:00

Great game but i broke it :P when draining you can just hold space and shot the remains racked up some nice points :P 616 jugle :D Really enjoy'd it good job!

Bad Ufo by dsoft20 2012-12-20T23:11:00

prettyy fun ^^

ANONHACK.EXE by BarrensZeppelin 2012-12-20T20:44:00

Teleporting is good really nice game! Very nice mechanic!

LD27 — 10 Seconds

Button by Back to Browse Entries 2013-09-01T07:16:00

Points don't reset after restarting the game! Scrolling text was a little bit annoying
Other than that, not bad! I like the idea :) Could've done with a 'dont kill' button aswell!

Bored to Death by jwin 2013-09-01T07:12:00

Nice game! Player movement was way too 'floaty' and getting stuck on walls was a bit annoying imo, but other than that it's great :) Fun blasting myself around with rockets!

// Quantum Breach // by oiblair 2013-08-29T15:51:00

Tried playing this by myself.. it broke my brain :D Seems fun if I had friends though :(

10 Seconds Before the World Ends by Lustdante 2013-09-01T08:04:00

Awesome! Really loved this one! Played it a few times to try and finish as fast as possible - Finished it with 4.2 seconds left, threw the device in, but got

(spoilers) http://i.imgur.com/OPUolDE.png

Is that really the good end? :< Kinda lame :p

Climb by Stals 2013-09-05T14:11:00

Controls were way to 'floaty' imo, made it really hard to control, would've been better if you could control how how you jumping with how long you help the jump key (e.g. tap it = small jump)

Antarctic-Toc by Meep 2013-09-01T07:06:00

Fellow penguin-platformer! :D Simple, obvious game mechanics, that need very little explanation (Except that I didn't realize the other penguins were enemies at first!)

Good game :) Managed to score 23!

You will die. by HighQuality 2013-09-05T14:20:00

Nice game, would've been really nice to have an option ingame to adjust the mouse sensitivity though :(

Super Mega Penguin X by Darkfrost 2013-08-27T09:44:00

Make sure you have the XNA Redist installed ( http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20914 ) - If it still doesn't work, please comment again - Seems to work fine for people when I asked in the IRC

Super Mega Penguin X by Darkfrost 2013-08-28T05:27:00

Thanks :) How did you find the last couple of snow levels? Those were the hardest ones imo :D

Super Mega Penguin X by Darkfrost 2013-09-01T14:09:00

Again, anyone having problems running it, install the XNA redist

Go For Gold by zaratustra 2013-09-03T16:56:00

Pretty funny :p I tried dive instead of jump and got confused for a bit :D

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

One Room Dungeon by HacksawUnit 2014-12-08T03:23:00

Good job! Pretty fun, took a while to get used to the attacking, but it makes it a nice challenge!

Only managed to get 9 chests though ;_;

Lazy Hero by mybluecorners 2014-12-13T14:25:00

This was amazing. :D Could you open the map though?

Viper Twins (Alpha) by Neonlare 2014-12-24T20:36:00

Love it! Awesome arcade feel! The polish is great

Frankfurt Ludum Dare Venue - Keeper by gladers 2014-12-13T14:17:00

got pizza, game was good

You Are Lost by farwyler 2014-12-24T18:48:00

Loved it, gravestones were a nice touch!

Atmosphere/Mood was perfect! Game was a tad hard though, so many times I died just on the edge of a bonfire!

LD36 — Ancient Technology

AIMG by Gravity Games 2016-08-31T23:06:00

Loving the art on this one! <3

Greek Sunfire by A-Flat Miner Studios 2016-08-31T23:03:00

Nice game! Idea seems great, nice use of theme! I struggled a bit with the controls though - couldn't quite get things to aim how I wanted! maybe there's a trick to it I'm missing?

LD37 — One room

Exit The Room Update 1.1 by Artsicle 2016-12-13T11:45:00

I think I won? Not sure!

Good effort, congrats on getting something done!

Clicker game would've been fun with some more buttons imo, and the patience game... well, I actually assumed there was some trick to it, turns out it is just patience!

Good work!

MiniVampires by qFrct 2016-12-15T15:09:00

Nice work! Love the art & mood

Would've been nice if the lighting worked a bit more '3d' rather than an overlay, i.e. if the players feet are in the light, don't have the head be 'behind' the shadow


Took me a second try to work out how the suck/blow combat worked, but pretty cool idea! Seemed a tad buggy though, couldn't kill stuff with blow sometimes?

Concierge by Zarkonnen 2016-12-15T15:23:00

Awesome! Had a hard time working out people's patterns, but I love the concept!

Slightly disturbed Raquelle wanting to get it on with a corpse though! ;)

DecoVRation (VR Only) by Darkfrost 2016-12-13T11:15:00

Woohoo! Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah I didn't really get to playtest this properly with people other than myself so I left the timings quite high!

Hammer disappearing - Most common cause for this for me was teleporting too close to a wall and your hands ending up on the other side, solution is to then teleport back instead of walking back so they teleport back with you



Or it could've been one of the other bugs!

Yeah, flying guy needs tweaking a bit, he was designed to try and be in range even if you're playing sitting down (I was for most of devving this :p), but he's a bit too aggressively close

Didn't have time to chase all the bugs down sadly! Thanks !

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

He-Who-Is-Beyond-The-Sun by Joror 2018-12-28T19:00:12Z

Not sure why - I just get an error saying my browser doesn't support webgl? Using latest chrome, and other unity-webgl games seemed to work fine. Bizarre.

He-Who-Is-Beyond-The-Sun by Joror 2018-12-29T00:25:32Z

@joror - thanks, restarting chrome fixed it. How bizarre!

Awesome entry! Really, really good. Not what I expected! Some unique art for the different cards would really seal the deal, but this is great! Couldn't find any way to quit a battle once I started it but that might've been intentional :D

Hamster DRUMA by shide 2018-12-28T18:58:03Z

This is shockingly polished consider the time period! Nice work!

Penance by cdunham 2018-12-28T13:41:13Z

Worked fine on Chrome here, but yeah, webgl can be a bit random...

First off, I like it! The idea seems cool and it seems like you got a bunch of stuff in! Most of my issues are farily minor, I didn't have enough time to read the text at the start before it faded out, a few times my input walking in a direction got stuck on (probably a webgl issues tho), and attacking felt a like it could do with some more... impact?

But solid effort! :D nice work

They're 'armless by thedarkmagi 2018-12-29T00:29:45Z

Amazing use of the theme! Loved the rocket arms too :D

I love the idea! Very similar to the game I submitted, except I went for realtime rather than turn-based, turn based makes way more sense imo. I made the same mistake as others have mentioned of selecting a character, then an action then selecting another character without submitting it, which was an issue :(

Intresting idea! Was fun, I found it a bit too easy though! Not sure if the tax collector actually took any money, and I'm unsure if I just got lucky but I drank a whole bunch of potions and didn't really seem to have many bad effects, then spammed searching for herbs and made a huge pile of about 3 different potions to sell

You Reap What You Shoot by darkfrost 2020-04-23T00:06:29Z

Cheers for the feedback so far! :heart:

I hear the issues about the character controller - doesn't quite control how we wanted but ran out of time to fix that one! Much easier to control with an xbox controller, and bear in mind you're dragging around the plant, and that will affect your movement!

Spoilers RE: Movement: !> You can unrope the plant if you need more accurate movement, but unroping it is pretty abusable :( (We planned that the plant would slowly die when unroped but didn't get around to implementing it...)

Haha yeah @crumblybread - there's some minor issues with the level generation I didn't fix where enemies / minor pickups can spawn in inaccessible areas, but the main BioFuel never will!

Nice! UI was broken until I fullscreened it (instructions/hints were well outside of the game window), but awesome idea for a jam game!

Worked well after that :)

Keep the Party Alive! by TouchMe 2020-04-23T00:45:51Z

Love the idea! Found the camera movement a little bit sickening, and struggled to find where things were / where to take people sometimes, but being able to just carry people around was a laugh :smiley:

Friendly Fire by very dark lord 2020-05-02T19:51:20Z

"oh my god, a talking fire!"

bahahaha i loved this! really enjoyable, jumping felt good, dancing part was brilliant, nice!

The camera moving over to the goal & hinting the path was a really nice touch!

Really nice game I like the idea, and it's well polished, cute, artstyle, audio, feel of the game all fit together really well

Player control feels good, but a bit extreme!

However, I felt that the levels got way too hard to fast! That, combined with the game restarting from the beginning made it a bit frustrating to play :( The saws moved very quickly without much warning, and were a bit hard to predict - that combined with them being in an area where you don't have much room to move around when they're first introduced made it pretty hard, whereas the swinging things in the level after felt much better! They were nice and predictable and worked really well!

I might've preferred having throw/jump on the same key? Ended up pressing the one wrong a bunch, but also I might've ended up throwing it when I wanted to jump otherwise, so not sure! I kept pressing the wrong key a bunch tho!

A bit more health would've been nice, and I frequently got stuck with either me / the egg endlessly bouncing around when hit!

Despite that, really good work! A few minor tweaks to the level design / difficulty would go a long way in making this a 5/5 entry!

Tama-Gotcha! by JasonD 2020-04-22T21:11:26Z

Absolutely loved this! Wasn't immediately obvious what the 3 categories were so it took 3 attempts before I finished it, but it was great! :heart:

Absolutely LOVED the mood in this, little grooble was adorable!

Only minor complaint was the lack of (unless I missed it) full screen button on the web player! which was really not a big issue, I ended up zooming the webpage in :)

Slime Mama by Jack Kaloger 2020-04-26T12:05:37Z

Love it! super fun, super cute, looks great, plays great, well rounded difficulty, nice job!

Type or Die by pepperkep 2020-04-26T18:52:29Z

Got a laugh out of this! Glitches really threw me off sometimes, especially when it was on something capitalized, but it made it a good twist! really enjoyed it

Mr. Cheesy by SAVVU 2020-05-03T16:26:58Z

Haha, I love this! Great idea, well executed, nice balance of difficulty, and the pasta when you get grated was hilarious, really nice job!

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

shaftception by testudor 2021-04-29T15:58:08Z

Nice little game! Really good job, especially correctly scoping your game! There's a whole bunch of different mechanics that work nicely (the key sequence was a bit confusing at first though!)

Very minor complaint - the Restart & Respawn buttons are very similarly worded, and close together, and I clicked restart instead of respawn by accident more than once!

Would've liked to see more levels, but good job!

The Legend of Water by darkfrost 2021-04-29T16:03:46Z

Thank you everyone so far for the wonderful feedback! :blush: :hugging:

@kaabiikaze The levels are prodedurally generated! There's preset data for what enemies / gems should show up on each level & the rough size & complexity of the level, but the layouts of the levels are generated at runtime :)

The only reason there's only 5 is we ran out of time to make stuff to put on them! It should keep generqating new layouts if you go past that, but you won't actually find anything new :(

Scython by BinarySpark 2021-04-28T19:56:32Z

Realllly nice game!

Art - Looks great! Love the style, executed really well, fits in with the game great! Throwing on some anti-aliasing would've helped a bunch, especially at the low web player resolution, but I just fullscreened it to see it in all it's glory! Music - Sounded great, fitted the game really well, kept the excitement up! Gameplay - Started off a bit slow and seemed easy, but then it really ramped up and got hard! Managed to just win but it was getting close!

Really nice job, amazed you manage to make this feel nicely balanced within the jam time!

Lone Miner by lazarche 2021-04-27T13:13:41Z

Really cute little game! The art sytle & audio & lighting all go really well together, making a really nice mood / atmosphere for the game!

Took me a minute to work out I had to press E to use the tools, but that's no big deal :)

Really liked the death system being so forgiving, leaving the level in the same state - leaving your bodies lying around was a nice touch!

Impressive work for a few days! :grin:

_arcuswarp by Lucky Zucc 2021-04-27T14:25:26Z

Awesome! Love the visuals, although they do make it a bit hard to see what's going on sometimes, especially with the blue enemies.

The view range & speed of enemies & bullets made the game a bit hard - if I moved around i'd often fly into a bullet before I've even seen it, and if I stayed still I'd get hit by them!

Eventually worked out I could hide up next to the wall / corner for a bit of an advantage, but I still died very quickly! Difficulty settings would've been nice on this one!

Art style & audio & gameplay all fit together really well though, and the game feels good to play, I just die to quickly! :sweat_smile:

Penguin Paradise by LucaVazz 2021-04-28T11:29:35Z

Nice game! wow you got a lot done - love the voxel art!

The delays between tasks feel a bit _too_ long, with little to do in the downtime!

I had a few issues clicking on buildings - not quite sure what was going on, when I had a couple placed right next to each other of the same type, it'd often select the one I wasn't clicking, and sometimes clicking on buildings seemed to do nothing at all?

Made playing a bit of a problem since I'd set one thing to collect food, then set the other to build the bamboo, I'd leave it for a bit and then realize now I had no food and most my penguins were dead because I'd accidently selected the same one twice :cry:

Sky Plummet by Kaabiikaze 2021-04-29T16:12:23Z

Great idea & well executed! The game is pretty challenging, I constantly got myself killed by trying to just go full zoom, the slow fall felt too slow & the fast fall too fast, but that's the challenge!

Eventually I settled on spamming the toggle a bit to try and get a speed between the two - but then it's hard to keep track of which state you're in! Might've been nice to have a cooldown to stop the toggle being spammed to much though!

The little jumping off animation at the start was really cute, and a nice touch of polish! Also hitting the gold blocks felt great!

Good job with the sound effects, music might not be your strongest point though :hear_no_evil: :laughing:

All in all, great entry!

Mystical Island by azakharov 2021-04-27T14:53:11Z

Nice idea! Game was a bit harsh though, fell down a hole or something and died immediately!

Wasn't immediately obvious how to play, but worked it out after clicking around a bit :)
