LD46 — Keep it alive

Guns are Gas are Life are Score by Josh Riley 2020-05-04T18:53:35Z

Nice simple art style, and fantastic audio. The controls are pretty hard, and every weapon except the shotgun and homing missile are really hard to use, and I was sad when I had to give them up to get more score. Still, the game is good, simple fun.

Feed Your Monster by bemmu 2020-04-22T15:47:04Z

Love the idea, and it's really fun. It took me a minute to realize I'm not controlling the tentacle monster, and it's kinda difficult tor grab stuff out of his tentacles. Otherwise, excellent game!

Now THIS is gaming right here. Blueberry main all day.

Shadows of Drakthur by igizzy 2020-05-06T23:24:15Z

Does the game end at wave 15? I suddenly got a game over once I got there.

Anyway, this game works pretty well, and is fun enough.

In terms of strategy, there's not much you can do after you cover your whole rock with turrets except repair as quickly as you can. The early game is pretty challenging, but once you get 7-8 turrets on the board, it becomes pretty unloseable.

Still, it's pretty satisfying once your defenses start working well. Nice game

Creature Goes To Life by Ommadawn 2020-04-22T14:32:43Z

The game freakin weird and I enjoyed the crap out of it. I really felt like a mad scientist, and the music sold the vibe.

MiniDrone by Rewzu 2020-04-25T02:10:30Z

Beautiful game and relaxing to play. Because the amount of points it takes to get an upgrade increases, while the values of the metals do not, the game gets very grindy after a while. Also, it's pretty hard to die once you're moving at 200% speed. Still, it's a very nice concept.

Fishing Survivor Extreme by nizlow 2020-04-21T16:55:11Z

Nice idea. Took a few minutes to figure out, but once I did, it's very easy to get a lot of fish. Seems difficult to lose at that point.

Civilitris by dasilvacontin 2020-04-21T19:43:16Z

Really fun, challenging, and innovative! Seriously, excellent.

Small bug: the game freezes if you simultaneously set your last village on fire and clear the row of fire touching it.

Life Light by Madbarron 2020-04-21T14:41:38Z

I really like the vibe here, and the character design. Interesting idea. After a while, I ran out of sticks and had to wander into the darkness to get more, and ended up not being able to find my way back. Could maybe use another couple mechanics to keep things interesting beyond stick gathering. I heard a helicopter at one point, but nothing happened, so I don't know if that means anything. Edit: I just read the description, it seems the helicopter was supposed to find me.

Someone called for an ambulance? by Bauke Regnerus 2020-04-21T14:25:28Z

Fun, and looks really good. The driving mechanics were pretty hard to get the hang of, but maybe that's part of the challenge. It also took me way to long to discover the second hospital.

Clever twist on a classic. Good pacing.

Reload by Waqar Naeem 2020-04-22T15:37:15Z

I really like the way the tank moves, it makes me want the ability to run over ants with a sweet drift.

Out Of Harms Way by Play-Pause-Games 2020-04-25T00:04:41Z

This was super challenging and fun, I enjoyed experimenting with all the different equipment (grenade launcher and beretta combo was the only way I could beat nightmare mode). Took me way too long to realize you can break walls, but once I did, the game went from way too hard to just hard enough. It's a little unstable, I had a couple crashes, and I see other people had some trouble with this too. There were a few times I spawned in a tiny room on cave and had to chip my way out with my pistol. I think the reload speed could be a bit faster all around, there were times I'd suddenly face a bunch of enemies, and there was nothing I could do with both weapons I had without taking a 5-6 second reload, during which they'd kill me. The lower-power pistols and smgs are basically useless. Overall, a lot of fun, nice job!

Snowball's Day In by Anthony Pengelly 2020-04-23T15:30:44Z

Cute and innovative, but I couldn't keep it alive for more that 15 seconds maybe. Still, cool game.

Flop, Drop, and Roll by DMars 2020-04-22T14:35:38Z

@marino Oh wow thanks, I was wondering if there was a feature for that.

Flop, Drop, and Roll by DMars 2020-04-25T17:11:44Z

@instanti8 Yeah, bowl tossing was something I considered making some levels based around, but ran out of time. You can hold the mouse button down before you make contact and still catch it.

Flop, Drop, and Roll by DMars 2020-04-25T17:15:51Z

@draklaw Yeah, the bowl ejecting is not ideal, but it was the only way I could think of to prevent clipping through walls without fundamentally changing the game. Also, yeah, I should work on my buttons feeling more responsive. Same with the cursor mechanics. Thanks for the feedback!

future garden by zuza 2020-04-21T14:06:07Z

I really like the post-apocalyptic theme, but it's not immediately obvious what you're supposed to do. I tried to get the plant to the farmer, but I won halfway?

SUBMERGED by SaadSirius 2020-04-23T15:40:56Z

Nice vibe, but I can't beat the first level. There's just not enough oxygen to make it from the key to the gate. Also, they disappears when I retry the level.

Dodge & Cover by Gaminghamster 2020-04-22T13:46:24Z

Interesting idea, but I found pretty early on that you can just hide the cone in the corner behind the protector and increase your score indefinitely.

CRAZ by RexTGun 2020-04-22T13:16:41Z

It's a very very fun, fast-paced, challenging, bloody experience. It's pretty tricky negotiating the tight corners of the second level, I find that my motion sometimes makes my tongue hit the wall instead of the players quite frequently.
