LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

This Little Isle Of Mine by MKnooihuisen 2018-12-04T22:02:33Z

Cool game, there is a lot of information being delivered, and it can be overwhelming, but I feel it is actually okay in this sort of, resource management game.

Forgotten Heritage by ded 2018-12-04T10:12:15Z

Oh my god that was such a scare :O ! I think this game is a very good example for smooth sound transitions in-game; going to the forest from the pool, and the ominous music in the forest, to the all out madness. :) Whats the story of the dead black bird in the middle of the forest?

Tama Gone Wrong by Lucien Catonnet 2018-12-06T19:28:48Z

haha! This game really caught me off guard. brilliant idea, really cool implementation.

Slow Food Burger by Brandon Hare 2018-12-21T12:26:45Z

Funny game, and the fact that you made all assets, but the sound is really good as well. :)

Game Jam Simulator by UnidayStudio 2018-12-23T08:18:59Z

Has a lot of work put into it. It looks really polished, and the game works fine. Really exceptional for a ldj game

Soul Crucible by Eli Delventhal 2018-12-23T08:23:40Z

I really like games like this, it plays well, and has some flavor into it, and you seem to be a solo dev who made all the assets. (wow) Really good job, exceptional work! :)

Not-So-Nicer-Dicer by sadsmile 2018-12-04T20:27:42Z

The game works amazing with the theme. All the characters look unique and amount of options is very impressive. The game feel is nice too, combined with the puzzle design its a well made game! :)

A Faithful Village by VengeurK 2018-12-21T12:44:12Z

Nice game, it fits the theme, and graphics are really nice

Downfall by Dorukh 2018-12-04T10:51:39Z

@clayrok Thanks for your kind words, this means a lot to us. @jongjo Oh I understand, yea the red highlighted space means the infection is going to spread there next, I feel its a very likely misconception that we havent thought about initially :).

Downfall by Dorukh 2018-12-04T10:57:14Z

@pierkwadrat Thank you, currently we have 24 levels with 5 types of hazardous environment, so we had quiet a playground to play with designing levels. @janwalsh Thanks for your comment, there is always a way to save 3 cities in each level, so searching for better strategies is always awarded! :)

Downfall by Dorukh 2018-12-04T13:47:37Z

@theog Thanks a lot, we tried to balance out the progression as much as we can. @earlybard we wanted to make the game easy, but we also wanted to reward the players that go for better - more optimized solutions.

Downfall by Dorukh 2018-12-04T19:13:35Z

@gordy wow thanks a lot for your kind words, we tried to not use words to explain mechanics, which didn't work that well I suppose. Lots of feedback shows confusion about some mechanics. @martynas @m3rcurial92 thanks a lot! :) @tosunami im sure it has a lot to polish - work on until it becomes publishable, but I hope this could be a good step towards it ! @verbante Thanks for your kind words, and thanks for creating such a great game yourself! @captainweeaboo Thank you, we wanted to clearly depict giving up sacrifices for a cause! @goldenmelon @matheus-mello thanks for playing!

Downfall by Dorukh 2018-12-04T22:28:05Z

@drcheetos Thank you, we wanted to make the game easier for the jam. We allow players to pass the level if they save at least 1 city, which should be really easy. But if you are in it for a real challenge you can save 3 cities in every level. :)

Downfall by Dorukh 2018-12-04T22:59:11Z

@jantaaa thank you. You are completely right about the music loop. I think its the most urgent problem the game has.

Downfall by Dorukh 2018-12-05T10:38:16Z

@cloakedninjas Thank you for playing :), @zugai89 wow ! Congrats, we figured out really shortly how punishing the rivers were :D. You are completely right about losing all cities thing. @gebowunjo thanks a lot for your kind words. :)

Downfall by Dorukh 2018-12-05T16:16:16Z

@co181127 thank you for playing! We didn't make the music so we can't take credit for it. I agree about the theme though its a fun theme for a jam. :)

Downfall by Dorukh 2018-12-06T19:23:42Z

@awix Thank you for playing, your games very nice too, really liked the aesthetics. @lucien-catonnet haha, level 5 is a tricky one, try to reconsider your first move, you can play on spaces that are not red as well (its a misconception lots of players had). Its also good to hear there are more fellow hexagon lovers in ldj <3 haha!

Downfall by Dorukh 2018-12-07T13:25:47Z

@fluffi thank you for playing, I am completely with you with the music problem, we opted out of music for that reason too :(. @denifia thank you, start screen was arqcenicks work (our programmer), and it turned out awesome! @svntax Thank you, we tried to make the pacing well, we have few level that comes off harder like level 5. @lazertrax thank you, since we had lots of puzzle pieces the level design was fun, and levels turned out well. :)

Downfall by Dorukh 2018-12-08T17:09:29Z

@treslapin Thank you for playing ! Yea the reset maybe a bit of a hustle to press, you have to press the menu button than reset, it should be right on the screen. Last level is a bit tricky. It started from me trying to recreate Central London's map, and it turned out to be a really hard level. :D A level selection menu would be a good step up, I agree.

Downfall by Dorukh 2018-12-09T19:22:58Z

@gerardb Thank you for playing. :) We were kind of inspired by, how in chess some pieces are sacrificed to win the game.

Downfall by Dorukh 2018-12-18T10:42:22Z

@kerdelos Thank you for playing. Yea that is a feedback we got a lot, it is not something we had taught of while developing. Going forward we would change the red highlights to fix that. :)

Downfall by Dorukh 2018-12-23T08:15:36Z

@wowa Thank you for your kind words, if you like a bit more challenge try going for 3 stars! :)

Downfall by Dorukh 2018-12-26T14:10:45Z

@samh Thank you for playing, Yes, we have a menu at the top right corner of the screen. You can go back or forward levels from there, and we have a retry button as well there. I see that tho, how it is a bit hard to find. Thank you for the helpful feedback.

Istenek by Fenderbate 2018-12-04T10:04:51Z

Nice resource management game, the graphics, the sound and the theme really compliment each other. And the Demon taking your people creates a challenge to the game. The comments that appeared at the buildings where fun reads as well. Nice job! :)

Forest Of Sacrifices by Verbante 2018-12-04T11:26:32Z

The game feel is really good, getting upgrades are satisfying, and each upgrade makes a significant change. Also you manage to do all this solo @verbante which is very impressive. :) Would love to see more of you, and more of this metroidvania!

Mudul's Trial by Kanacell 2018-12-21T12:47:33Z

Game flows really smoothly, fits well with the theme, and overall graphics work in unison. :) Congrats!

Leggy by organicpencil 2018-12-04T21:17:17Z

As well as the game, you guys attitude adds to the experience. Now I just want to learn more about the development process of this game. :)

Amulet of Qayin by Maytch 2018-12-04T21:38:17Z

Very fun zelda esque game. Sacrificing mechanic works well. The graphics are really cute. I like them a lot, I especially liked how you guys manage to pull that kind of cute graphics with a sacrifice theme. :)

Canyon Gods by PierKwadrat 2018-12-04T11:07:36Z

Extremely well made graphics for a jam. 3D characters + character animations is already a weeks work.

Sacralice by Ectomic 2018-12-04T10:21:43Z

Works well with the theme, and levels are well designed, I like the clear graphics as the game is a bit on the complex side, with the simple iconic sprites things are more legible. :)

Fight Kult by TalesOfPixelia 2018-12-04T20:37:42Z

The game has some really well working AI. Overall very fun brawler. The music as well is so good, works well with the theme.

Dark Villagers by AwiX 2018-12-06T19:19:32Z

interesting game, it looks very nice. Remind me of older heroes of might and magic games. Music fits well too well done! :)

My Little Daily Sacrifice by Gludo 2018-12-04T21:08:02Z

This is a brilliant game, especially considering this is your first jam. The controls are nice, UI works fine, and graphics overall fit. Would love to see more of you guys! :)

Path to Redemption by Petter 2018-12-23T08:21:42Z

At first the color selection was putting me off, but I got used to it, and I think it fits with the game, and the theme well. Its a bit hard for me, but not unfairly hard. Overall I like the atmosphere, and it plays well! Good job! :)

Bee Defence by antonhvid 2018-12-04T22:09:23Z

Very fun and addicting. Its a hard game, but possible to get used to it after a few tries. The concept is very original.

A Town of Questionable Morals by CaseyH 2018-12-07T18:22:58Z

42 babies is like an impossible record :O. The game is really fun though. It does what it does really good. Tried it 5 or 6 times could get like 9 babies at most :D

First time by co181127 2018-12-04T21:50:36Z

A nice dilemma is presented in the game. I like the idea.

The Interview by Hamsters Actually 2018-12-04T10:30:18Z

This is the best game I have seen so far in this jam. The dialogues are really funny, I feel everything about the game was funny. I would love to play a longer version of this game, the graphics were really nice too! Very welll done ! :)

The Binding by scf 2018-12-23T08:16:31Z

Overall fun game to play! Really liked it. :)

Reaching The Sky by SKDF 2018-12-21T12:51:02Z

Did not manage to do a perfect run, but love the concept, and game works fine overall :)

Reaching The Sky by SKDF 2018-12-21T12:51:16Z
