LD42 — Running out of space

Hose Moose by StabAlarash 2018-08-16T18:44:40Z

Awesome game you've got here! Love the art and the audio is fitting.

I wish there was more indication that a fire has been put out since I a few came back after I thought I got them and ended my run.

I think if the forest surrounding you was bigger and the fires closed you in more, it'd fit the theme a little bit better in my eyes but still fits better than mine lol.

Great job and look forward to more of your work in the future!

Get Comfortable by mcccclean 2018-08-14T02:14:49Z

I really like this one! Would love to play this on my phone or even as a competitive multiplayer game one Steam! Good job!

TrackBlasters by paulloz 2018-08-14T17:21:26Z

Love the art and concept of your game! The holes the bombs blast are a bit unforgiving but I think that's the point, right? The music fit beautifully, too. Good job and would love to see this game developed further!

Wingman by minibobbo 2018-08-14T17:32:20Z

Fun arcade-y game! I like the art and overall concept of the game. I would've like to see maybe some more animation in the art and a larger resolution to the game in general, but aside from those minor gripes of mine, I thought it was a fun experience. Thanks and good job!

Head Space by AfroAnt 2018-08-14T02:09:11Z

Fun game!

I liked the addition of some tutorialization and the music being cohesive; no cuts or awkward parts.

As for the art, I really enjoyed it! It felt tight and well composed to create a strong overall feel.

If the player were running on the same paths as the enemy "memories", I think the game would feel more challenging as well as feeling a bit more crowded. As it sits now, it didn't feel all that challenging.

Urban Planning by reuno 2018-08-14T02:03:32Z

Fun little experience! I felt the art was nice and game controlled well enough. The music was a little loud and there was some slow down in the browser version.

Aside from that, the camera swung around in a bit of an unpredictable fashion which I feel could really help.

Good job though! Thanks for submitting this!

Detox by FiloGC 2018-08-14T04:19:30Z

Awesome retro style! If the GameBoy had a mouse, this game could've been a star on it!

Dyson's Fear by zeta0134 2018-08-14T04:49:10Z

Wow! I'm impressed! I had to do some Google'in to figure out how to play this, but glad I did.

Thank you for submitting your game! I think its inspiring! Great job!

Dragon Horde: Revenge of the Wizard King by MattWoelk 2018-08-16T18:37:04Z

Awesome game, man! I really like the art and how it feels nice and cohesive.

I hope you continue to work on this since I think its pretty cool! Good Job!

Rainforest by SimoGecko 2018-08-19T16:54:13Z

Amazing level of polish! The overall composition of the game is great!

I think my only gripe would be that there isn't some sort of progression. Like say, more levels to unlock or a slight upgrade mechanic like getting a boost or larger cart with some sort of credits.

But hey, if my only complaint is that I want more of your game, I'd say that's pretty good! :smile: Great job!

Artemisa by Alexei Jilinskiy 2018-08-14T04:15:44Z

Tough game for me but really fun! Caught myself retrying a bit more! Some times the movement seemed a bit jarring, but otherwise was lots of fun!

Thanks for submitting! I enjoyed it!

Last Piece by WetBox 2018-08-16T18:31:45Z

Love the feel of your games atmosphere and it has a nice aesthetic that the music compliments perfectly.

It fits the theme well and is well made. I would've like to see more conflict and some resolution to my play session; like a way of really winning, but that's a very minor gripe from me.

While these types of games aren't really my thing, I found myself drawn in and playing for a bit, which is nice. Great job!

20000 Leaks Under the Sea by webthingee 2018-08-14T04:25:59Z

There is a nice level of polish to your game! I had fun playing it but it did seem a bit simple and wasn't able to hold my attention for too long. The tension as the patches burst was nice, but felt it could've been more intense with the music and maybe speeding up the game a bit.

That being said, great job!

Space Hoarder by Leandro Dotta 2018-08-15T02:35:40Z

Reminds me of Viscera Clean Up Detail, which is a good thing! I think it could've benefited from some in game instructions to help clarify but it wasn't so obscure that the player couldn't figure it out with a little trial and error.

The art was simple yet worked for what was intended. Like @confituur mentioned above, I had a similar texture glitch in the html5 version, but otherwise looked good.

For audio, I felt like it was lacking some appropriate music but that came as more of an after thought than anything else.

If you develop this concept further, I think different levels and environments would be a cool addition.

All that being said, I really did like this game. Good job!

OVERLOADED by rainysolar 2018-08-14T02:18:39Z

A simple game, but that is part of its charm! Quick and fun! Thanks!

Deep Down by Nyunesu 2018-08-16T05:02:50Z

@nyunesu Hi! I just played your game and it was tons of fun!

Your controls were tight and responsive. Though the game feels a bit slower, I think it does fit the game play well. Your art is cute and well composed and creates a nice cohesive feel for the game, though I wish I knew more of the story of the game. The music also really fit the game well. My only real gripe would be level design, the last bounce pad obstacles were a huge ramp up in difficulty and seemed to punish the player fairly significantly. If you're continuing on with this project (which I think you guys should; its pretty awesome) I think re-imagining some of the "puzzles" or traps and spacing out the climb in difficulty would greatly benefit the your game.

That being said, I think it was great and look forward to more of you and your teams projects going forward!

memBrain by Sciman101 2018-08-14T02:23:44Z

I dig this little gem! Reminds me of Metal Gear Solid and the theme is really on point! Great job! Thanks!

Space Invaded by KTur 2018-08-14T04:44:54Z

Simple game with a nice, mostly cohesive look. Only reason I say mostly is I feel like all the assets have some nice poly edges on them except the turrets which I feel is a missed opportunity. That and I think a perfect way to finish it off would've been some sound effects.

But overall, I thought it was good fun! Thanks for submitting your game and good job!

Zero G Hero by dave_troyer 2018-08-15T02:24:26Z

@ransom @ekilibr Actually, it was intended to over-fill your oxygen, but we know that it wasn't well communicated in the game when we ran out of time. We hope to make it more apparent when we work on the game further.

And thank you for the feedback! We love getting this kind of information from other devs! It really helps us see things we've over looked and improve along the way! :smile:

Zero G Hero by dave_troyer 2018-08-18T06:06:44Z

@minibobbo Thanks for the valuable feed back! We totally get where you're coming from with everything and are actually actively working on improving the game!

EPIC THEATER by filgreen3 2018-08-14T17:27:46Z

I really wanted to try your game based off the concept and art, but I couldn't figure out how to actually go past the performance selection screen. I clicked everything on the screen. I hope you can develop the game further and would like to try it again later.

EPIC THEATER by filgreen3 2018-08-14T18:10:31Z

@flower I appreciate that you're trying to teach me how to play your game, but that doesn't change the fact that its really not intuitive and there is no instructions or notifications on whats wrong in the game itself.

Aside from that, I did try it with 0 free seats and still nothing.

Stuck! by chkkll 2018-08-14T02:20:46Z

The kind of anxiety this game gave me... but I think thats what you were going for lol!

Awesome game! Thanks!

California Jane by fivenamefivesocks 2018-08-14T17:39:04Z

Awesome game! Its beautiful and fun to play. Definitely a high level of polish! I think it could benefit from some refining of the controls(jump mechanic) but if not, I think a player that is really invested in the game could get used to it. I like the inclusion of a timer. It gave a greater sense of urgency that made me want to get through levels more quickly and I found myself playing for longer than intended. Good job!
