Great work on this one, really nice! Sometimes I could not predict the behaviour of the soldiers, whether they would rotate or keep attacking the target in the direction that they're facing, but other than that, it is a really nice mix of a tower defence game and a puzzler! I especially like how you set up a tutorial and that it feels just so polished with the soundFX and the UI.
Cool game, quite different to your usual entries! The flat colors are nice and I liked how you made a quick but extensvie tutorial, I feel like this always makes a game feel much more polished, than if you have to read up instructions in the descriptions. The finishing field (the golden cross on the floor) is a bit weird in my opinion, because it does not quite explain how the situation is now solved. Maybe placing a static veterinarian next to it and making some particle effects when you reach it could improve it. I am looking forward to seeing the Post Mortem of the game, I just rewatched the last one! Greetings from Emil, Andreas and some new teammembers, maybe we'll see each other at some gamedev events like at gdd Graz last year, once those become possible again! :)
Very cool game, I like the literal take on the theme, keeping "it" alive. As a full time paramedic, I like the realism of your "resucitation" ;) Also I love the graphics, animations and how that poor creature gets knocked down by those physics, I have to laugh every time I have to revive this little idiot! The only improvements I could think of would be a better glance at the crash site in the beginning (I hardly noticed it at first) and a label reminding you of the button to resucitate. Also the creature sometimes gets stuck at rocks and then dances around them weirdly. Or it gets thrown out of the screen which is sad to watch
By the way, great job on your Youtube videos, I love to watch them ever since I the algorithm your ten cars under my nose for the first time. Very inspiring, great content!
I see that this could go somewhere. Cool concept, my team actually also thought about keeping some fire or light alive at first. I like that you need to find better weapons in order to tear down greater trees. Some things were a bit annoying, like that there was no hit detection between the blade and enemies or trees, but rather the cursor and trees and also I happened to restart the game by accidentally hitting F2 twice when I wanted to switch to item slot 2. But other than that, solid entry! :)
Hey, I did not get to buy ingredients, the purchase button does not seem to work... Is there anything I'm missing?
This is a humerous game, made me laugh. I found it especially fun that you could name your own religion. The second time I started it, I think the enemy didn't do anything, because the counter was just stuck at 142, but other than that I think I did not find any bugs. I also really liked the minimap and the buildings you had in the world!
Funny game, the voicelines make it really neat. It would be nice if you added one that explained while there was a heart to be delivered, or did I miss something? Also the pumping lacked visuals in my opinion. But it was fun playing, also really dificult to keep track of the heart/road at the same time since you can only look at where your hand is at. You did a nice job creating all the visuals for this game!
Hey, nice game! I like the graphics, the upgrade system is satisfying and it really makes the player want to try out all the upgrades. I couldn'T get past the part with the houses though, because I kept dying. I don'T know what I was doing wrong, but it felt just unbalanced at that point. Also, it is hard to tell what some upgrades did and if they are effective/or working. For example the crushers at the sides, I had no idea what they were doing, as there was no audible/visual feedback when it was doing something. Same for the back cannon and the engine. Nevertheless, I can'T deny that I had a great time playing this! Keep it up :)
Cool graphics, great intro, but waaaay too hard, and I also don't get, what it has got to do with the theme.
Nice game, managed to get to day 34! Could have some nice features, like money to earn, upgrades for the truck, cars on the streets, etc. but a decent entry for a jam! If you want, also check out our game! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/baby-boom-balance
This looks like a fun game, but it has got one problem: The randomness of the blocks being spawned. Because sometimes the level is just impossible because of how the blocks fall. Either you get crushed, or you can't jump high enough. Fix that, add more levels, features, etc. and you got a great game!
Very enjoyable! Nice job on this one!
Although limiting the number of spacebar uses is a creative interpretation of the theme 'running out of space', however it is not really gameplay-friendly and also does not add anything interesting to your game.
The graphics of your game however are amazing and it is really relaxing to go around your detailed environment, but I assume, that you already know, that there is some gameplay missing here. I suppose, that you just overscoped and then created a visually very appealing game, that doesn't implement any gameplay though. Well, anyways I congratulate you for doing only the graphics and basic movement, because it is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for upploading it despite the shortcomings.
Graphics and Mood 5/5, Humor 4.5/5 for the 'Baited' in the options menu, hahaha :D
Great game, I enjoyed it a lot! The ads are fun and the mood is set! The only thing you could change, is that, without any other features, it gets boring to play until 2500 followers, maybe you could set the goal to 1000 followers, to not make the people quit before the end. But otherwise, great entry, you've matched the theme and made an enjoyable game, good job!
Great game! You could lower the difficulty a little bit more when there is only one player, but super fun game, also you need to coordinate with your mates, which strengthens teamwork skills. Nice one!
Great puzzle game, makes you think a lot. Gets a little bit boring after some time, but great job on designing this piece!
Congrats for finishing a game alone! Being a programmer, of course your art cannot be perfect. But there are few things about your game, that you could improve: At first, the game ends all of a sudden and you dont know why. thats something you could improve. Maybe the game should end only with the last tree falling? Secondly, not being able to win the game or destroy woodcutters, is kinda frustrating, so it's only a matter of time and doesn't feel that exciting. In my opinion the forest is a little bit too big, you don't need that much space to experience your game, if the game then takes too long, or worse, feels endless, it gets a little bit boring.
However, you can definetely be proud of yourself for finishing a game alone within 48 hours, so keep it up!
This is a good entry, kind of reminds me of super smash brothers, or brawlhalla. But are a few things, that I dislike about it: 1. You can spam arrows as fast as you can, there should be some limit/cooldown on how much spears you can throw per second. 2. you cannot define the direction that you throw the spears. therefore you cannot for example go right of your enemy and push him off your side! 3. Therefore there is no challenge, or any skill needed and you just spam click and try not to fall into the pits.
But the artstyle is nice and the idea is not that new, but also not bad.
Nice game, the first level is probably a bit too slow. There is nothing that really tells you: "collect at least 50 gold in this round" or anything else, that would motivate you to collect better items, but it is definetely a solid entry.
It's very unclear, when you can build a building, how much it costs, what production points do, also there is nothing interesting in the game, if the only goal is to build as many buildings as possible. However, I assume that you did your best and I can only congratulate you for actually (kind of) finishing a game and submitting it! With every game jam you are gonna get better and who knows, maybe you are gonna work on a big non-jam project one day? Keep it up!
Great game, you can be especially proud of yourself for finishing within only one day! I like the graphics and the sound, the only thing, that the game is missing, would be a gradual increase of difficulty, so it won't be something endless! But otherwise a very good entry!
That moment when you aim for that tiny ass close button, and as you finally reach it ANOTHER POP-UP appears on top of it and you have to go to close that one first!
Defenitely a great game, fun as hell and always got some surprises for you! (oops, password re-enter, all the hillarious pop-ups) Nice one! :)
Nice idea, and not really easy either! I played it several times, until i managed to kill the boss (especially bc I ran out of food.) You didn't quite fit the theme, but I liked the game a lot :) I especially enjoyed the intro cut scene (although the frames were almost a bit to fast to read)!
Hey, could you tell me how to execute that .x86_64 file? I don't now how to run it... EDIT: Nevermind, I accidentally downloaded the linux file. *Facepalm*
For a game jam this is quite a decent entry. The gameplay is not that exciting, maybe you should've added powerups, or an exit, or somewhere the player has to run, so it's not just a 'wait & dodge'. But the graphics are neat and the soundtrack is nice, too!
As a fan of 'papers please' I enjoy games like this one, it's cool. I found a bug, when you click on one of your papers, after giving one of the people a letter, the letter spawns back at your desk. Should be an easy fix, I guess :) The gameplay itself seems a bit repetitive and the choices you can make are also not that diverse, but in general it's a good entry!
This has quite some potential! The controls are somehow difficult and not really intuitive, a tutorial would really help the game and also it would be nice not to use right click to move the camera AND assign the carts, as I always accidentally move the screen then. However, I think that this game could be really cool, with a few more features, so keep me updated if you do a later version! Also check out our game, we also made a city builder, where you run out of space :D
Great job! You should solve some bugs, like when a bot shoots a fireball (?), improve the AI and I would suggest you make the gameplay faster (faster movement, faster attack speed) but I like the idea
I really liked it, it's quite a challenge to type and move at once!!!
The graphics are cool, the controls feel a little bit delayed, but overall I like it :D
Really fun, I like it! Maybe music would help the game a little bit :D
Solid entry, I like your low-poly games, I loved the robot one you did for LD39. In this game, I think that the atmosphere could be a little bit better, the grenades need to be more visible, they are hard to find on the grass and they should be more efficient, as for now it is hardly worth it using them, at least I didn't get to kill a single zombie with it. And player is too slow for my opinion, a sprint key would be useful.
It's fun, reminds me a little bit of "Plants vs. Zombies". I liked the gameplay!
I liked it, although it was actually a little bit too fast and too easy for me. Maybe prolong one game a little and make the CPU stronger. I love the graphics!
Super addictive game, I love the mecanics. Clicking on a mouse is kinda tiring, not like on a phone, but in general I really liked playing this! clickerdefense.png
PS: if you want, try out my game too :D
Really cool, but somehow I can't get the audio working.... :/
It is cool, the graphics are super it has got a lot of humor and the mood is really realistic. But it has also got a few shortcomings. At first you shouldn't be able to start a new level without an employee, it is hard to notice that you'll loose if you don't have any. Next it is at first hard to find a balance of money to spend on beer and how much to spend on employees. Furthermore there are a few bugs: when you restart the game, there isn't anyone coming; mages' heads are drawn above some other objects in front.
But I think this has actually some potential, you could add upgrades to buy, different stages, etc.
Also, thanks for playing my game, I loved your feedback!
I absolutely love the idea of this game and think, that this got potential. Some points I would improve:
1. The controls feel somehow a little bit clunky/unclear. Maybe make a tutorial image in the beginning or explain them throughout the game. And put the plant command on space as well. 2. The window could reaaaally be bigger! 3. Add all the features you mentioned on your list, this could be a great game actually! :D
If you want to check out my entry for this jam as well, you can find it here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/secrets-of-the-forest I'd appreciate it if you gave me some feedback as well.
Hey, finishing is probably the hardest part of a game jam. Our game has got some bugs we weren't able to fix in time, too. If you want to try it out anyways, here's the link: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/secrets-of-the-forest
Hey, I found you at the Hide and Seek game :D Maybe you want to rate my game as well? https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/secrets-of-the-forest
Sounds super funny, although I don't have a second player right now to try it... xD
Cool game, really innovative! I love how you first have to draw stuff and then you have to fight against the ugly pieces you made! xD Somehow I happen do die with no certain reason, maybe you could fix that...
This morning you said, you wanted to try my game, remember? Here it is: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/secrets-of-the-forest
The graphics, sound and mood of the game are great! Gameplay is a bit slow, so I don't find it that entertaining, but that really depends on each player. Solid entry! If you want to try my game out, I'd really appreciate some feedback! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/secrets-of-the-forest
Wow, as I expected when I first saw a post of you, the game turned out great! I love the mechanics. Only thing I don't get, is what the engine does, but apart of that, I absolutely love it! And it looks really finished! My teammate and I also finished our game! If you want to try it out, -> https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/secrets-of-the-forest
Some other recommendations for your game: The turrets should only consume coal, when they are shooting. The repair should be more efficient, it is just way to expensive/weak right now.
Well... I guess I'm 4th now! Really addictive and fun game, the collision feels clunky sometimes, but apart of that a very solid entry!
Interesting game, I don't like the movement though, because it feels so delayed. It has a good sense of humor though :D So, maybe next time, take care of the smoothness. Btw, the game I made, was my first one too, go and take a look! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/secrets-of-the-forest
LD48 — Deeper and deeper (14)
Deep Down by dcrdro 2021-05-01T23:02:11Z ♥ 3
Many things about this game are... interesting. Some uncanny. The walk of the character was definetely one of those, haha! Made me chuckle, well done :)
Dig the socials by badabooom63 2021-05-01T22:55:06Z ♥ 2
Wow very creative! It was a bit fishy at first to search for all those weird names and open those links haha. But very interesting concept, also pretty amazing how much you got done during the jam. Also, I liked the audio a lot :)
20.000 LIGHT YEARS deep in THE SKY by Arivenzys 2021-04-30T08:46:04Z ♥ 3
Absolutely lovely! I really dig the graphics, so cute and makes me feel really comfortable while playing the game. The voice acting is great and I absolutely love the sounds. Also your synthy version of "Also sprach Zarathustra" was really cool! Amazing what you accomplished in such a short time, thumbs up!
A Watch or The Incredible Shrink by A-Flat Miner Studios 2021-04-29T10:02:55Z ♥ 1
Very interesting game, I dig the graphics and the visual effects! The sounds are a bit off, could be more soothing. Also as @jlv commented, the right interaction should maybe also make some noise. But very cool overall!
Drill City by honzapat 2021-04-29T09:54:37Z ♥ 2
Really cool game. I didn't quite get the idea behind building houses to obtain wood, and what exactly we are digging for here, but the gameplay was very relaxing! Also I loved the voicelines and the audio in general. Good job guys!
Blue Square and the Mystery Cave by asdehielo 2021-04-29T09:20:48Z ♥ 1
Really cool, well done. The part in the dark was a bit confusing, but I had a good time overall :)
OVUM by mind0o 2021-04-29T06:36:52Z ♥ 0
You could have made it a bit clearer, what your goal in the level is. Also I agree with @adamphoebe that there is probably too much things going on at once, or at least they are not introduced slowly enough... Was a weird experience, kinda fun though.
Thrice Upon A Time by sakura_magika 2021-04-29T06:28:33Z ♥ 1
now that's really a feel-good game :) I particularly enjoyed the archery game :D
Footsteps by Aaron Butterworth 2021-04-27T18:24:26Z ♥ 2
Very touching. Also I think the sound design at some parts is really advanced! The part with all the different voices was very immersing. Maybe you could have made the footsteps actual footsteps instead of circles and include some hint that tells you to move with the mouse. Good job!
Deepest Dwarf Dungeon by NinjaCatz 2021-04-27T18:03:43Z ♥ 2
OMG this is a nice game! Good job, and congratulations to you and your team! I found it really really hard and for now, I didnt get any further than the second level. Yes, maybe I'd say it is a bit too hard, but I've never played too many shoot em ups. ;) Also, for some reason I always started the second level without any beer, no matter if I had some from the last level or not. Not sure if that is intended or not.
Fish for Meaning by Steve Johnstone 2021-04-27T17:44:51Z ♥ 1
Now this is an interesting take on the theme. I mean, I don't really see why a submarine would collect fish... But the questions you find was an interesting thing that made me chuckle. Models are cute and you "terrible music" is also not that bad. Small trick: if you feel like it is not good, make it quiet enough and it will just add to the ambience but not annoy. One thing: the perspective is kind of strange. I don't really see if I'm really headed for a fish or if I'm diving past it. Interesting game though :)
MineWell by superpokeunicorn 2021-04-27T17:32:30Z ♥ 1
Oh wow, I didn't expect your game to have such a similar name, haha
Just Fishin' by Antti Haavikko 2021-04-27T17:31:25Z ♥ 2
Soooo, this is a a cool entry with a lot of features for the time. I was surprised that you had even included cosmetics! In my opinion the game could be a bit more responsive. I never really know when I am in range for the shop or for fishing and when my click will only just open the inventory or will send my player running across the lake. Running around with WASD would probably work better, after all I got two hands ;) Also the UI buttons could use some responsiveness like hover or click effects. In the beginning the game is kind of slow, and you feel like you are not progressing, but later it gets very fast. Once you get some fishing traps, the fishing kind of becomes redundant and you end up running between traps and the shop. Minor bug, that you're probably aware of: when picking up a trap while holding one, you just end up loosing one trap. Maybe you could just empty the trap with clicking instead of picking them up, because then you don't always have to click twice. But this had been less of an issue if I had discovered earlier what dogs are for :) Overall a solid entry, good job on all the features!
Bunny Bunny Dig Dig by ZakAmana 2021-04-27T13:06:15Z ♥ 1
had to play it, just because of the looks. Even if already so many people played it :D Great job man, incredible how you put this together in 48 hours!
