LD42 — Running out of space

Debris Trail by chromableedstudios 2020-10-05T17:55:47Z

Can't figure out how to play. Should have a tutorial scene or something to point players to the right direction.

LD46 — Keep it alive

Tumble Baby by 01010111 2020-04-21T18:42:45Z

Excellent work in every single category. Very impressed. A simple concept with an amazingly fresh idea. Good work!

Of The Dark by cogcomp 2020-04-20T17:20:07Z

Love the mood in this game. Great work!

Filicide by Artylo 2020-04-20T15:36:41Z

I really liked the audio and graphics of this game, and the feel is excellent! A bit easy with not much challenge, but I can clearly see how you could introduce challenges later on.

I love the feel of this game, great work!

The Ludum Dare Flame 🔥 by tobiasw 2020-04-21T17:17:52Z

I love browser based games and clicker games... and MMOs! This is a really neat concept, and I love that you made the theme fit so perfectly.

The idea of bringing the whole LDJ community together to play a game like this is awesome.

Great work, and glad to see you back in LD making games again!

Your Inner Child (Keep It Alive!) by godsboss 2020-04-20T14:58:45Z

It's a bit hard to see which track the bad memories are going to go on, but the game works pretty well. I like the idea of having a tower defense game inside of a brain, lol!

Gaia by Rodrigo Denúbila 2020-04-20T15:27:48Z

Really awesome. Great game idea! If there was a bit more variety, this would be an excellent AAA Casual game!

Desktop Garden by 0x0 2020-04-25T18:16:20Z

This is very neat man. I'm betting this game wins in innovation! Great work.

Street Flight by Bloody_xDlol 2020-04-20T23:22:54Z

I really like the graphics of the building. They remind me of a 3D version of Hey Arnold. The animation on the seagull is sweet too. Congrats!

Simon DJ by JanGamesDev 2020-04-25T16:10:46Z

I gave this game a near perfect rating. I was able to try it in VR (way better than on web) and the potential in a full-fledged game like this is super high. Thoroughly enjoyed playing this game. Excellent work!

Omiga Daycare by Wheffle 2020-04-25T16:36:18Z

Man this is really cool. To be honest I thought of making a Tomagotchi thing for this theme as well, but I couldn't figure out how to make it fun... but it looks like you did! I was shocked by how addicted I got managing all these virtual pets. This is really excellent. It would be neat if this game was broken up into rounds to get a break, but it work very well in this infinite format as well.

Sound design and graphics are spot on. Very very good work. Congrats on getting this all done in such a short amount of time!

Hacking is Probably Not Like This by sayumeki 2020-04-21T15:26:29Z

I really like fake hacking games so I might be biased, but I really like what you did here! The graphics are very well suited for the gameplay and the keyboard-based controls add more to the mood. Excellent work, and congrats on completing your game for this compo.

Advise the King by Arden 2020-04-22T13:25:56Z

Excellent job! I love chess and this card mechanic fits really nicely into the game. The game changes just enough that it feels familiar and fresh at the same time. You've done excellent work, congrats!

P4R3NTing 101 by AndideBob 2020-04-20T18:29:28Z

Awesome idea that fits the theme perfectly! Reminds me of Overcooked but with taking care of babies.

Graphics have a great theme, music fits the mood and the sound effects are spot on.

One of the best games I've played during this jam so far! Great work.

Evergreen by RAFFE 2020-04-23T19:06:15Z

Cute game. It's pretty original and I like the art style. Good work.

🌸 Conway's Garden Life by joonamo 2020-04-20T14:43:11Z

I'm a big fan of Conway's Game of Life... it's cool to see a competitive version of it.

Final Flower: Petals of a Lost Age by Scott Steffes 2020-04-22T13:17:19Z

This is really awesome. Have not seen a platformer quite like this before. It seems the concept of Keep it Alive worked very naturally for you. Excellent work and congrats!

Focus, kid! by Necromic 2020-04-21T18:02:56Z

Never played a game like this, really nice! :) Love the art style... this seems like it'd be a solid Kids Game (not a bad thing!) and the music is really great too.

This game feels fresh, and I like how you designed the game. Wish I could do something to regain my focus after I lose it, but it's all good.

Congrats!

Panda Smash by rumor 2020-04-20T23:07:42Z

Very interesting concept. I really like the art and the input method was well executed. Nice work also on the music and sound design. I found the clicking and dragging a little bit frustrating to get working, but once I got used to it things started to fall into place.

Very neat, relaxing game that I would be super interested in buying if it becomes a full featured game.

Very good work.

Savior by Ekin 2020-04-21T17:11:38Z

Great graphics and sound. The controls work pretty well, I have to play again on a computer that can run it faster but it felt smooth nonetheless.

Love the short and sweet story. Good work on this game.

Space Exodus by Kaish 2020-04-25T16:04:50Z

This game is excellent! The sound mechanics to denote different resources is really a cool take. Once I was able to map out where the planets were I was able to keep my crew alive indefinitely by just visiting the same places over again. The controls and graphics were all made to fit the feel perfectly - they compliment each other very well.

Congrats!

Shadoweight: A Moguel tale by Davidenki 2020-04-22T22:22:02Z

You've done great work here. The controls for the top-down shooter are great and I think you did excellent with the graphics and audio work.

I would be willing to play a full game if released. Good work and congratulations on completing this game for the jam :smile:

Alien Convoy by Willian Oliva 2020-04-25T18:08:52Z

I really like this one! :smile: You did some really great work with the audio/graphics going well together. The top down mechanics and the gun swinging around the characters were very nice touches. I appreciate how hard it is to get those feeling right - the game I made for this Jam has similar mechanics :wink: . Overall excellent work, the game was a joy play!

Electro Service 2: Electric Boogaloo by Fedora 2020-04-20T18:21:09Z

The game keeps crashing when the "PAT ME HUMAN" windows pop up.

Other than that, I love what you're going for in this game. I wish it was more clear what I needed to do to fix the certain conditions. Needs sound effects, but the gameplay is cool and fresh.

Also it's very impressive that you made this entire thing with just plain old code and didn't use an engine or anything. Very good work.

Gate Ball by Zyllen 2020-04-20T18:14:58Z

Had to play this game twice because the first time I didn't realize that I had to drag the mouse down after holding down Mouse1. I was just moving around with WASD pushing the balls into the goals (which was way easier than shooting them, btw)... but when I played it the second time with the shooting mechanic, it was much more fun. Good work on this game. The sound effects are very nice.

Baby on board by steambrain 2020-04-20T23:34:04Z

This is a good one, and pretty creative as well! I like the idea of bringing those old cartoon gags of the baby in a construction site to life. Good work!

Soulectron by Bredian 2020-04-20T17:54:43Z

The art is _very_ clean and looks professional. The music fit well with the theme and made me laugh for some reason. The gameplay is addicting and challenging... the UP/DOWN pushes are pretty brutal to be honest. I think this game could be polished up to be an awesome full-length game.

Great work!

Man Need Fire by ABRDs 2020-04-20T17:08:47Z

This games great! I love the sounds and the attention to detail... you really did a great work on some of the polish.

Very excellent job.

Sleep-Rolling Pangolin by Khyrgrim 2020-04-25T18:04:39Z

Very very clean game with excellent well-oiled mechanics. These types of puzzle games are my lifeblood and this is a great start to one! It's absolutely outstanding what you were able to accomplish given the short timespan. The sound and music work well together too. Nice job.

Bullets & Babies by David Bohan 2020-04-21T00:07:14Z

@izokia Thank you for playing! I really appreciate your feedback, but I wanted to tell you that this isn't endless - in fact there's a boss at the end of level 1 :^)

Keep Dano Alive by Blue Pin Studio 2020-04-25T16:29:29Z

This is an excellently solid game. The graphics and sounds go together very well, and the voice-acting is both funny and actually well executed! This feels like a clicker game but with movement, which is a pretty interesting take. Overall, really great work on this game. Congratulations!

The Consequences of Gardening by JMad 2020-04-25T15:59:56Z

This game is pretty awesome. I'm a big fan of point and click adventures like this. The sounds for communication prompts is actually really cool. It was a little hard to figure out how to use items from my inventory and I ran into a couple bugs with things not letting me inspect them and had to reload the location in order for it to work. Overall this was excellent and I appreciate all the hard work that went into this. The fact that this much content was made in 72 hours is mind boggling. The humor and atmosphere of this game is great as well... would definitely look forward to a full-featured release of this concept.

Congratulations on a great piece of work!

Planto by Btmodz 2020-04-20T23:28:36Z

I like this game. :v: The art and sound style have a good feel to them and the gameplay is fun! Would like to see this game evolve into something bigger and more variable. Good work.

Cryoloop by Freya C 2020-04-20T14:56:00Z

I like the graphics and low-res 3D and the whole UI layout. The clunky movement works well with the idea of being in a space suit. Excellent work!

Vital Signs by Houdou 2020-04-20T14:38:35Z

Excellent! You did great work on making the game slowly introduce new elements. The game quickly becomes a handful though and it's hard to keep up. Excellent theme adherence!

It's Alive! ...Keep it That Way by erkoply 2020-04-20T17:33:59Z

I love these types of games and I love the C64! Wish there were some cool sound effects, but I see your effort was rightfully placed in making this game look amazing. Awesome work!

VITAL 2020 by bflatinteractive 2020-04-25T16:42:37Z

Nice game, overall. I like the graphics, making it seem like an actual piece of futuristic medical software. I got my patient to live all the way up to 100. It fits the theme so perfectly, it's almost a literal interpretation of "Keep It Alive"... but executed in a pretty fun way! I was hoping at some point I could use my keyboard keys to administer the different medicines. That would've made it easier but it could add more to the hectic feel of the game later on.

This game on the whole is fun and solid. Excellent work! I'll follow this game in the future and play any later version, to be sure!

Genki by GOD COLO 2020-04-25T16:14:52Z

Neat asteroids/geometry wars type game. The graphics are simple & smooth, just the way I like them :smile: . The gameplay is smooth and it was fun to play. Would look forward to this game being used as a platform for a fleshed out game of the same genre, with more enemy types and power ups. This is still a solid foundation and an amazing amount of work done given the short hour time frame. Excellent job!

LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Lup by Ame1337 2020-10-05T17:56:27Z

Was the game to scroll down the LDjam submission page?

LD49 — Unstable

Railrider by Blobby101 2021-10-04T21:54:29Z

Good graphics, simple premise. I like where this game was headed. The default player capsule collider really takes away from the experience, but I'm sure once that's replaced this game would be much nicer all around. Great work!

Angry Girl Wants Buns by almost 2021-10-05T03:53:06Z

Very cute game lol

Horsey Computer by Apple Dash 2021-10-04T21:55:13Z

Bizarre... but charming lol. Great work getting this behemoth done in time for the Jam!

Instability by R3L0ad1 2021-10-04T18:19:00Z

I like the style a lot, and the graphics/colors/music really blend together very nicely. Had a hard time actually making progress, but I probably suck. Really smooth systems for tracking high score and everything. Nice, simple, and well made. Love these sorts of Jam games!

Balkanization 1 by kr4ft3r 2021-10-05T16:04:28Z

It's a pretty unique game, and I like the graphics and sound choices. Despite it being unique it's also very simple to learn. It has a pretty intricate system as well, which is impressive given the small timespan for development. Nice job.

Psychogoat Collapse by 6smith 2021-10-05T18:12:05Z

This is really neat. I bet the aspect of generating the levels was pretty difficult but you executed it well. Great sound and a really clean and effective art design. Nice work!

Actually this is a similar concept to what our team came up with! Great minds, right?

Hazmat Magic by Ismael Rodriguez 2021-10-05T03:58:38Z

This is an excellent game. Really love the gameplay, and the graphics/controls are very smooth and fitting. Great work!

RotaCore by Reispfannenfresser 2021-10-04T17:47:17Z

This fits the theme pretty perfectly. I like games where you build up and customize your player object in a creative way. Making the ship have to be balanced or else it destroys itself slowly is a really clever mechanic! Add some shooting sound effects and this game would feel much more alive. Great submission though, and a really well made game.

Breakoban by OgelGames 2021-10-04T15:18:54Z

Solid Sokoban game! Neat graphics, great sound effects, and creative puzzles.

Really good work. I got all 10 levels solved :smile:

Kingdom of Chaos by AXLplosion 2021-10-05T18:43:27Z

Well I got 15k points, lol! This game is ridiculous but fun. It reminds me a little bit of WarioWare: Rapid fire micro games. At first I didn't understand if I was making progress or not but then I figured out the pattern of the game and just enjoyed it. Would've liked some sound effects, but it's all good! Nice game, and congrats on finishing.

Toby Kangaroo by Ulisses 2021-10-08T04:15:58Z

This game is really frickin hard lol. But it gave me a lot of good belly laughs.

Among Monolyths by Dekajoo 2021-10-05T04:18:16Z

These puzzles are very creative. I like the artwork. Is the level supposed to be glitching out? I feel like it is, but I'm not too sure.

Drunk Hill by Jvdwijk 2021-10-05T19:28:33Z

LOL. I like the story. It had me laughing before I started the game. The graphics can use some polish, but that's completely fine for this gamejam! Really had fun, and good work. Congrats!

Everything's Fine by Patsui 2021-10-04T18:12:37Z

[Untitled.png](///raw/45d/c2/z/44f94.png)

This is pretty fun! I like the art style! and the controls fit the gameplay you're going for perfectly. 5 minutes is a bit too long (Same problem for our game as well! Funny how we used the same time limit and theme lol), but I powered through it. I think one of my workers was Alexey Stakhanov because he just kept working even though his health bar was 0 lol.

I really love your idea, and think with some more time this could be fleshed out into a really stellar full game.

5 Stars in everything, comrade!

Bob's Underworld by chesschaser 2021-10-05T15:43:26Z

The music is great and the controls work well. Wish the game restarted itself on death. I got to 130m as well. Great submission and congrats on getting such a complete game ready in time! :smile:

TECHNUCLEAR by TheGreenWorm 2021-10-05T18:20:31Z

I found this game because of the "Nuclear" word in the title lol. I've been searching for games that used that theme, since we used it for our own game.

Speaking of your game, it's great! Nice graphics and smooth controls. It's a fun, short game, which is perfect for a Gamejam! Nice job, and congrats on getting this completed in time. :v:

Watch your step by Haematite 2021-10-05T19:14:57Z

This is a really well done game. I understand how hard these sorts of logic games can be (enemy movement, making sure the puzzles are solvable, etc) and you did an excellent job addressing all these challenges. It's a surprisingly complete game given the time constraints, and it plays/sounds/looks well polished as well. Reminds me of a roguelike -- are the levels all randomly generated? If so that's even more amazing.

Very well done, and congrats on your second game jam! Looks like all the confusion at the start for you really sorted itself out. Can't wait to see your submission next spring :wink:

Unstable Mechanical Warframe by Astropower 2021-10-05T19:46:31Z

You really got this done during the gamejam? It's really well done! Nice classic looking graphics. I just really like the feel of the game as well. Congrats on getting this game to this state!

Finite Runner by Anthony Servedio 2021-10-05T15:51:36Z

Simple and fun. Not a bad thing! You've got a very strong foundation for a fun game, and that's usually the hardest part to get right. Looking very promising if you choose to develop the game further. Controls were a bit awkward, but that's not something I'd ding you on because of the time frame. Nice job.

Unstable Situation by KeichiTS 2021-10-05T04:04:55Z

I like the CRT filter you have on the game, and the music is actually very excellent. I wasn't sure what the goal of the game was, and it took some thinking to finally figure it out. A nice submission though. Congrats!

Snatched by cerieyele 2021-10-04T17:21:00Z

This is harder than I thought lol. I like the controls and the game is simple and satisfying once you get good enough to actually beat level 1 :joy: . Good job. This is a great submission, and with a little more polish it could be an addictive full game.

Unstable Profits by Pwnzer 2021-10-04T17:30:28Z

I had fun playing. It feels much easier to use the low-cost cages and just spam them as much as I can to keep the balance. I never messed with anything higher because my low-cost cages were growing money so quick lol.

If the game was split up into levels with money amount objectives, that would have been the icing on the cake.

Good work, and a great submission!

Unhinged Magic by RudyMakesGames 2021-10-08T04:05:37Z

Nice try! The hamburgers and apple juice made me laugh,.

Where's My Tripod? by Pixelydian 2021-10-04T17:25:02Z

This is amazing, honestly. I love relaxing/meditative games like this. Also literally started laughing when my guy started hiccuping and sneezing and stuff lol. He sneezes so much - must have allergies or something.

Excellent game. Would love to have seen a collage of my photos at the end, but I know that can be difficult. Great work, again!

Twin Tails Jetpack by ExpiredPopsicle 2021-10-05T15:49:36Z

Great! I thought that after the first level I'd experienced all the mechanics you worked into the game, but I was wrong. Good work. The controls are slippery (by design!) but you worked with that and made it satisfying to play as well. Excellent submission and congrats on getting this game done and shipped!
