LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Shovelware Knight by Jezzamon 2017-12-12T12:45:31Z

Great concept, not so great implementation (havent tried post-compo version, only rating the compo one). Having to upload files from my pc really bothered me, then i couldnt find the "game" reated inside this game. Really confusing, but it didnt really make it for me.

Even though, good job on finishing a game for compo!

Orbits by tuism 2017-12-06T13:10:01Z

One of the best ive seen so far! Addictive, cute and overall a great experience. Got to 7 orbits so far, but im gonna keep on playing!

By the way, i was surprised not to see an android build for this, it would make for a perfect bus/train time killer.

Orbits by tuism 2017-12-06T13:54:59Z

@tuism Awesome! Will surely download when its available!

Orbits by tuism 2017-12-06T13:55:39Z

@sam-machell you can change mouse sensitivity with the up and down arrow keys ^^

Cool Hat Mr. Hat by bitslap 2017-12-06T16:41:35Z

Dont really get how the theme is in the game, in fact its opposite, the more the better. Other than that cool game and love the art!

Stuck in Parallel by Omiya Games 2017-12-12T13:38:55Z

Controls are aweful, character moves half a second after i press the arrow. Dont know if its intentional, but it really break the game experience.

Couldnt get past the second level as i could go through any walls that surrounded me in spawn.

The graphics are really nice though

Aurora by AkirAssasin 2017-12-06T01:18:03Z

Very chill and soothing atmosphere, the music really goes well with the game.

RollingDown by ohyhei 2017-12-12T12:59:33Z

Maybe its just my computer but it wouldnt let me unzip it with 7-zip, its a shame, i really wanted to try it out

Rogue Intelligence by Ayxs 2017-12-05T13:04:09Z

I like the concept of the game, the music is also nice, but the implementation of the theme is not handled too well, like @6smith said. Im not a big fan of invisible walls, they ruin the fun of exploration, so i would advise you to do close spaces instead (maybe the evil AI base). In the begining it says to use the "use" key to grab objects, but nowhere it is mentioned which key that is(doing a fast keyboard sweep got it was the E). The puzzle mechanic of having to drop one weapon to use the other was more frustrating than challenging. But dont take this comment as a bad thing, its impressive you managed to finished something being only 2 people, so keep up the work :D

Sofra by dietzribi 2017-12-05T00:22:56Z

The ending is pure art. 11/10

Shoot off their lumps by pixeye 2017-12-05T17:05:21Z

Really polished game. I was suprised art could get this good in a jam, best ive seen so far.

Only issue i have is that the ludum theme was not implemented, but id definetly pay for a full game like this one, reminds me of gba metroid.

Congratulations to the team!

Back to Dust by Plepletier 2017-12-05T16:27:03Z

Art works so well with the game, its amazing. The game itself is a bit slow for me, but the theme is well implemented :D

Elden by red-fan-games 2017-12-06T00:09:34Z

Everything felt/looked/sounded awesome, only issue is that it didnt really follow the jam theme, but awesome game nonetheless

Grammar Dystopia by Xarras 2017-12-06T15:54:11Z

animations are really cute, really originall idea.

Good one!

Life & Debt: A Real Life Simulator by Krassenstein 2017-12-06T21:19:22Z

I think there should be an active way of getting more money, not just wait for pay evey month/week. Apart from that, good game, congratz!

Drift Punk by CremaGames 2017-12-07T18:28:14Z

graphics, sound, and general atmosphere are incredible. Would polish controls a bit more, maybe add sensitivity for keyboard users. Well done!

Sailor Wolf by Pashok 2017-12-05T14:59:05Z

Loved the art style, gameplay was a bit confusing and i couldnt save any cats when they were on the edge

CrudeCarnageCars40 by elZach 2017-12-06T00:07:29Z

9/10 not enough cars

Busted! An Epic Cops Vs Robbers Endless Runner! by CaylebLucas 2017-12-12T12:52:46Z

For a game done in under 24h its quite impressive. I cant really see the theme implementation.

Played for a while and it just seemed to be another endless runner as the other half million that exist. I would try to find something that makes it different to the rest.

Pajuu - Always With You by Samurai Spark 2017-12-07T21:40:34Z

Damn these ninjas chopping onions :´(. Beautiful game, music is really well chosen. Only downside is that it doesnt really go with the theme, but everything else is great. Congratz!

Greedy Mummy II by AlexisGea 2017-12-05T12:21:15Z

Love the art! I like the game but i dont see the theme really integrated.

I'll Take You To Tomato Town by adamgryu 2017-12-06T12:24:04Z

Great game overall!

If i had to say something bad about it, it would that the first time you play it is not obvious that there is a time limit to do buy stuff.

Audio and art are awesome, and the slimy extensible arm is my favoutite thing about the game. Congratz!

Venny is in Trouble by djosef 2017-12-05T13:15:48Z

Loved the game! Great job guys! The visuals are fantastic and i really like the angry aliens. I dont feel the theme of the jam is really impleneted though, as the difficulty stays the same most of the time. Other than that good job :D

Mana4Life by dawik9000 2017-12-05T01:18:43Z

@strelly thanks for the feedback, if we do end uo continuing this game we will surelly add more character and abilities :D

Mana4Life by dawik9000 2017-12-05T01:19:51Z

@flanksteak yupp, we thought about the reticule but we ended up forgetting about it xD. Thats what happens when you play your game up to the point where you dont need one hahah

Mana4Life by dawik9000 2017-12-05T16:34:10Z

@ilseroth hmm thats weird, it shouldnt feel cluncky at all, but about the feedback on getting hit thank you for it, we will take into account

Mana4Life by dawik9000 2017-12-05T17:17:43Z

@nikchernyakov thanks for your feedback!

The music is louder every wave, and there are two tracks that alternate, but you are completely right that the music should be louder since the beggining.

We are aware of that bug, but we dont have time to fix anything for the moment, as are working on another project, but thank you for telling us :D

Mana4Life by dawik9000 2017-12-05T17:19:28Z

@vlandemart thank you but as stated in the description, the art isnt ours. If you like it, check out synti studios in the unity ou unreal asset store :)

Mana4Life by dawik9000 2017-12-05T17:24:29Z

@illabom glad you liked it! will check your game out right now :)

Mana4Life by dawik9000 2017-12-05T23:14:25Z

@drauthius there is feedback that you are about to die. When your health or mana ar close to reaching 0, you have an electric aura around the Character. Its green when you are low on health and blue when its maná

Mana4Life by dawik9000 2017-12-06T00:28:08Z

@evandowning thank for the feedback!

We surely have to look in to giving the player some extra feedback as to when he is getting hurt, will do so when we have some spare time.

Mana4Life by dawik9000 2017-12-06T01:07:18Z

@rubixalchemist thanks for the feedback and im glad you liked it! Will take it into account if we continue developing :D

Mana4Life by dawik9000 2017-12-06T10:40:01Z

@fangzhangmnm thanks for your feedback!

The optimization issue... What can I say, its a Jam. If we continue developing we'll look into it.

Mana4Life by dawik9000 2017-12-07T15:13:51Z

@krassenstein saw the vod, thank you for the feedback :D By the way, the post jam version had the audiio levels corrected, saw your reaction at the beggining haha.

The q does seem quite broken in the beggining, but it roots you on the ground so you eventually balances itself.

The theme interpretation we had was, the more mana/life you have, the worse chances of surviving, so you had to keep balancing it out no to have too much of anything, but then again, that was our interpretation.

Thank you very much for trying out!

Mana4Life by dawik9000 2017-12-07T15:16:48Z

@honest-dan thank for playing and for your feedback!

We thought about meking the enemies drop mana/health orbs so you could get more mana actively without having to get hit, but we kinda forgot about it (gamejams makes our brains work in weird ways xD). We will surely implement an active way to gain mana when we have time, maybe around holidays.

Have a good one dan :D

Mana4Life by dawik9000 2017-12-13T12:16:06Z

@twotwentyfour thanks! We've been using it for about a year know.

Mana4Life by dawik9000 2017-12-18T19:19:08Z

@theloneplant thank so much for the feedback! you have some really interesting ideas there :D Right now we are busy with other projects but will definetely take them into account if/when we decide to continue.

Have a great one!

OverPowered! by Sir Mr Dr Prof Sr Jr PhD 2017-12-05T17:40:46Z

The idea is brilliant, best theme implementation ive seen so far. The game is addicting and hard, the best combination there is :D

Only issue is that the yellow powerups are a bit hard to see.

Overall, awesome game, CO¡ongratz!

Flips! by Beavl_Games 2017-12-12T12:16:05Z

played 5 or 6 stages, still dont get what the game is about. Visuals are nice and seems like it could be a fun time killer for android/ios, but the concept should be explained better

Virus Detected by NotSpaghettiGames 2017-12-05T17:31:47Z

I dont get how i resurrect the enemies to make an army. Audio is really nice, suits the game pretty well.

Snake Force by JeffChen 2017-12-05T00:48:29Z

Awesome entry, best ive tried so far!I just have a little problem with the player looking one place and running the other, but thats just me xD

Snake Force by JeffChen 2017-12-05T12:24:37Z

By the way, i was playing just for fun, already rated it but i really liked it, and noticed that if you run and shoot in the same direction, you end up killing yourself. Probably both colliders overlapping when spawning the bullet

My Greedy Dog Steve by Honest Dan 2017-12-06T18:18:39Z

Love the "however" part of leveling up, makes it harder to decide. The art was nice and the music was quite soothing.

However(yes, that was intentional):

Its not really obvious when steve is about to, the red bar is a little bit too small, maybe add a sound alert.

A minimap or some sort of indicator of how to go back would be appreceated.

Maybe add a way of dodging the enemies attacks intentionally(shield, roll, etc.)

Overall it was a fun game, congratz!

Bobby's awful idea by Drakncel 2017-12-05T17:10:43Z

Great idea and nice implementation of the theme! Love the artstyle and the mix of 2d characters with 3d environment.

The background music is great, althought the soundeffects are a bit annoying. Good Job!

Phool by ciaccodavide 2017-12-06T21:02:38Z

Awesome game! i really like the simplistic art, it suits the "arcady" feel of the game. Every single life i lost was because an enemy spawned on screen in the direction i was going and it gives me almost no chance of dodging it.

Real good game overall, congratz!

Escape Infection! by 11tomi12 2017-12-06T19:24:39Z

Pretty nice game! simple and addictive, makes you want to improve your highscore. Would make for a good phone time killer.

I would maybe make it more obvious that the blue things take awway the infection, since for the first few rounds i was avoiding them.

Overall good game for the compo, congratz!

placeHolder by tetra 2017-12-12T12:27:36Z

Love the concept of the game! Controls are really nice and art is really well done. - The walls have places where the spaceship gets stuck, and its frustrating dying because of that. - In my opinion the bullets that hit enemies shoud disappear, that way you reward the player for being accurate with his shots.

Overall great experience, well done!

DarkPixelAdventure by magicdidac 2017-12-12T12:38:27Z

Really like the theme implementation! The game is fun and challenging! - In some levels the enemies spwan really close to where you spawn so there is almost no time to avoid it. - You really dont know you have been damaged unless you look at the hearts (i was playing without sound so i dont know if there is a sound cue for when you are damaged). Something like turning red after being hit for example.

I really like the concepts of memorizing the level before starting to collect the objects so you know how to come back.Awesome game overall, good job!

Sleepy Fighter Pilot by TwoTwentyFour 2017-12-12T13:22:03Z

The theme is not really important here, you can just spam the e and never lose. If you dont shoot the enemy planes you dont lose eithrt, the planes just stack up on your view.

Some feedback when shooting would be nice, like, you know, bullets. Otherwise kinda fun game, but it need some polishing.

SHROOOMS by theloneplant 2017-12-12T13:10:41Z

Awesome entry! BTW on the html version the arrow controls are the other way round(up is down, left is right, etc.) I would add a couple of lives as i the game is real fun and the best part is when you have eaten many shrooms and you are trippy, but getting instakilled was a bummer.

Great game, congrats!

Mortal Komba by kokirisandfriends 2017-12-05T16:14:06Z

beautiful game! art and music are amazing, only thing that its a bit hard when the bird character comes out to jump.

Neon Hell by SirPumpyJam 2017-12-12T13:17:48Z

Controls arent really intuitive, and cant see how the theme is in the game, but otherwise a real fun game, good job!
