This was fun to play! Sometimes a little frustrating how the boxes wouldn't budge when i needed them fast but that is part of the experience.

This was fun to play! Sometimes a little frustrating how the boxes wouldn't budge when i needed them fast but that is part of the experience.
Ambitious project. I like the concept very much. It feels hard to play right now but still a good entry in my opinion.
Creative view on the theme. Good game difficulty. It's both hard yet manageable, difficult to achieve that.
Last year, I did a similar project for my thesis as well. Maybe you will be interested. I called it the [The planet engine](https://github.com/DouweRavers/ThesisProject-ThePlanetEngine/). It was a planet generation tool for Unity. I focussed on optimizing as much as possible using shaders.
Nice game. Never played a blender game before. Good controls and good design. Only the goal of the game was a little unclear to me. But once I got that I enjoyed the bloody mess. π
Love the big map. Don't see that often in LD games. The little tribes were also nice.
A nice thing would have been if the plane had some gliding mechanics. But this was very nice as well. Loved the calm song.
Cool game. I got all trains to the right locations but nothing happened, not sure why.. The track laying felt very fun. Only if you move the mouse to fast it stops the drag, that is a little annoying.
Good job!
Always appreciate scoreboards, cool you put it in there. Cool concept of a game. Interplanetary travel.
Those graphics are super nice! Very well done! It was a little to hard for me so I never managed to get a package home but the game felt very nice. Only when going high speed the ship was moving in small increments instead of fluent motion. I played web so could be that though...
Cool take on the theme. Network package delivery was not on my brainstorm list, dahm. The concept was very original, I have never seen this stype of puzzle before. Very cool.
Game was very easy to learn and then the puzzle was just fun to perform. The only note I have is that once you have your previous goal the new goal doesn't spawn directly. That was annoying as you were just waiting while the ticker was going down.
Liked the game! Simple yet fun. Felt very polished.
Sometimes it took to long for the boxes of the right colour to spawn.
I really liked the game. Logistics games are my favorite type of games, so very nice to see this in LD as well. Did not expect it here. I liked the UI I recognise the Godot styling but it just makes it better hehe. Especially that you used drag-able windows that was a nice feature which I would have overlooked.
I could not find the recipes in game but used your screenshots. Not sure how to access them.
Ah a fellow godotter π Really liked your game, felt pretty polished. The music was great and the spawning of drones was perfect in the not-overwhelm / not-to-boring ratio!
The upgrades did't feel really as updates but that is the only feedback I can give. Very nice job!
Nice job, very polished! The audio is was very quiet. Maybe you can increase this in the settings or something. The game felt very smooth, I like that.
Crazy how you built an entire 3D environment just to end up playing a 2D email game. Cool concept!
Love it. Good concept!
Loved the graphics. This motivates me to also learn to make pixel art. Curious how time consuming it is. I think the steering could have been responsive for me it felt to slow. Love the interpretation of the theme very well done.
Cool concept. Liked the animations and mechanics.
That was fun. Nice game and nice soundtrack, did recognize it from somewhere. Maybe a little circle around the person once close would have been nice to know how close to drive when approaching them.
Nice game. Loved the music! Love electronics themed games.
I really like the graphics and the smoothness of the game. Nice concept! The soundtrack was very LudumDary which is a plus in my opinion.
Nice game. I do think the new item has a slightly different bottom color as the others which gives it away. If the locations of the previous items gets randomized every turn the game would have been way more challenging. Good job on all those graphics though.
Looks good felt smooth, and the music was relaxing.
I think by giving a little more feedback when successfully connect a line it would feel much more rewarding. But still fun to play π
Very fun context and very original take on the theme. Loved the starting cutscene π
The car steering felt really good. A couple of LDs ago I also used a car in Godot and I didn't manage to get it feel nice to drive. But you did. Very nice.
The only thing that felt off was to know when you will get caught. I had no idea when the police was close or not. Or even where they were. Maybe a little indicator that points to were the police is an how much meters they are away would have solved that issue. (Just an idea though).
Nice game. That is a lot of graphics for a compo! Good job!
Cool concept with the full stop was a little frustrating maybe just shutting down the motor and having to restart it would be more fun. (I don't know has to be tested) But then you see less of the ragdolling which is so nice π
Very nice game!
I liked how every feature in the game has an important role. You can't reach the end without an upgrade and you can't upgrade without trade and you can't trade without using the isotope collection. Very nice.
I don't know if it is my very wide monitor but for me the front row of stars disappeared from time to time. Noting game breaking just a note. π
I really like the game. Especially the comments of the british soldiers.
It is very polished. I honestly have nothing to comment. It was just a good experience.
Loved the graphics and the sound. It felt really polished as well. And just like everyone else the beam could be stronger.
Nice looking game! I liked how polished it was. To bad there was no sound, would really brought the experience together. But I personally don't like the audio dev part of game dev as well, so I understand π.
Loved how you even can click on every chicken just to check up on them.
Didn't make it. Still it was fun just to figure out how the system works. Very unique game! I like the fact you just went for something very abstract and difficult. Knowing a lot of people would just give up (myself included but I did spend half an hour trying and now I have to go. π )
If you like programming games, I would recommend [this submission](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/51/the-stack-machine) and mine as well hehe.
Very very fun game! Is this how punch cards worked back in the day? Nice! This is really my type of games. The challenges were perfectly set. From simple to difficult.
One tip maybe. Instead of just specifying the input in the text. Maybe a punch card with the input values can already be loaded in the machine. Although that means for some levels part of the challenge is already done.
I actually made a similar game as well. Only with assembly code instead of punch cards.
I love smoothness of the movement. Especially the fact that the ship oscillates around the cursor.
It is a missed opportunity to implement upgradable features but then give enough money to buy all of them except the alien. Probably still the currency from debugging π
Also I found a small bug, where if you die you can get out of the end screen and keep on playing with zero lives.
Very nice game!
I like the art style and especially the small people attacking. The music is simple but sets the right mood. The gameplay was fun and the menu at the bottom was nice. The only comment is that sometimes I could not merge two trees instantly.
Great concept. It also is very intuitive. The longer you play the more you notice and learn by just looking at it. Also smart to use an area of influence instead of a single tile to activate the arrows. Makes is more fun to quickly drag.
Cool concept. As some people noted before the controls felt a little weird. Maybe if they were in world coordinates instead of local coordinates a more predictable steering could be achieved.
Besides that, nice game. I liked the UI and using "GB send" as score is also very creative.
Very cool game. I wish I could type faster π It feels very polished. I like the minimalist art style.
I don't know if it was intentional but there are two zip files. A 1.0 and a 1.1, I guessed 1.1 is newer.
The animations are very nice. Also the acid dissolvement is a cool visual. It feels very polished. Except for being able to keep moving when falling in the acid. But it has nothing to do with the gameplay. So that is just being difficult on my end π. Well done.
Game did not work in LD though. But it did through your link. Only I had to copy it because it was no hyperlink. (maybe add https in front of it or something..)
The music sets the mood very nicely!
Also painted art is very nice!
The difficulty is just right not to easy not impossible.
Great game!
I like the fact you have to design the level in 2D and then it toggles to 3D. The music was a little boring but still nice you had some. A nice simple extra touch would be if the robot made some noise when driving. Overall well done.
Very beautiful looking game! Very polished. As someone who transitions between qwerty and azerty from time to time this was very hard as I had to really think about the z, w, a and q π Maybe in the beginning a indication that you have to type the letters would be nice as I had to figure that out for the first 10 seconds or so. (Or I just missed it)
Hey, your game has some similarities with mine. Although I wouldn't dare using UE5 for a game jam. Nice you did! Looks very beautiful though and not just because of the engine. I like the art too.
Very nice game. As said before the camera shake was a little to much (I actually got a little dizzy :/ ) but apart from that very very nice! I love games with a little story especially if it's guided by a voice.
The hacking puzzle was hard but doable which is perfectly balanced. I also like the amount of props you made just to make the spaceship give some realism. The music was also nice and fitted the theme. Overall bravo :)
A Ludum Dare game of 3.2GB that's a record for me :) Totally worth it though very nice looking game. I really like a story based game, how short the story may be. Also the voice acting made it so much better.
Love the graphics. The levels were easy to finish but I got the vibe.
A suggestion maybe is to only let the portal appear once the skeletons are defeated. Also make some blocks stable in the field then let the unstable blocks reappear after x amount of time. Gives some strategy to it. Just a idea eh ;)
Great job! I love when people do 3D for compo games. Modelling is such time-consuming when you just have 48 hours.
Very nice game. Love that all the objects have little faces. The smoke effects made it extra pop two. And the game is actually a little educational. Very nice. Although repetitive the song never bored me.
Fun to play. the attacks were very satisfying. For me putting the attack on z feld a little weird. But I'm an Azerty user so z and x don't neighbour for me. :) Like the dark "theme" and the nice tutorial
I like games made with special engines. Good spin on the theme!
Whoa this game gets intense. Very nice. The toggling between paddle and bucked was kind of annoying when close to each other maybe assigning a different key or something made it easier to toggle between them. Although you could argue it's part of the challenge ofcourse.
This was so weird but fun. I liked the art style haven't seen that a lot. The typing was very satisfying. Good that you enabled arrow keys to walk as azerty users would have had a rough time typing or walking :D
Very nicely executed. Sick, to see what you have achieved knowing you are new to OOP and Unity!
Are you like an actual Chinese Monk? The music was too real π
Fun little game like the frog like noises. I think at some point there were no buckets left and I was just walking around. Not sure what to do then? Did I have to clean up the paint?
This was very fun to play. Just the reactions of the little people made it worth retrying level 3 like 10 times :D
Nice looking graphics. Loved the fact you can pan around the world. Didn't really know what I was doing but getting to higher levels always motivates me so there is that :D
The game was fun to play. Really looked forward to the upgrades actually :D And the music was amazing :D
Really liked the idea! This feels like one of those addicting android games :D
This is very polished indeed. I like the cutscenes as well.
It was pretty relaxing until the alarm went off and it scared the hell out of me :D Very original take on the theme indeed :)
Very good looking and polished game. The themesong is very fitting as well. My only recommendations: - The controls could be relative to the boat instead of the world. - Some more sound effects for diving or docking would make it even better :)
Very fun puzzle. It's not easy to make a game that is not too easy but not too hard as well. I like the kind of techno theme as wel. I had experienced two little bugs though. At one point the collider of my blue bubble just stopped working so I couldn't push 1 dimention projectiles. Also when I switched from second to first dimention sometimes I could prevent my dead while being hit by the projectiles. But because you offer all the levels even when restarting that was not demotivating in any way :)
Yeah that was hard. I didn't get further then level 3 so maybe I missed it but some obstacles to jump on or something would be nice.
I like the theme you set. It's very clever.
I like how smooth the movement of the thingy is. Esspecially when touching the top and slowly bouncing back. I could cheat a little though. I kept my down arrow pressed and almost never hit anything. But enjoyed the music.
Very nice. For me personally the level can even be more difficult. Well done.
The starting animation is so funny :D I actually restarted the game just to watch it again :D
Wow very wel linked to the theme. I like that you predefine the words so you know the search is interesting. I played a similar game before but they just choose random words.
But but I wanted more text.. haha
Very interesting, I'm curious how did you create the infinite tunnels? Or does the magician never tell? π
So funny :D The police sound effect alone π Very difficult but very nice to play.
Wow this was really relaxing. Very nice game. I really liked the octopus facts :)
I have been sailing for 10 minutes and still haven't seen any creatures. Is that normal? I already passed two objective places but could find the third (I looked like it was under the bottom of the sea.)
Super nice! In my opinion the random tentacles where a little to powerful maybe some way of predicting were they will pop up would be nice. Like a little pool of bubbling water or something. I like how polished and good looking this is.
That was fun, especially destroying the walls. Very hard though. I like the name. It would have been cool if you made it 3th person. So we can see the rocked (like in the intro) and maybe a smoke trail behind it. Eider way, pretty nice game.
I get the difficulty of making a race game. I created one myself this jam too. Very nice, the car was very slippy but that was kind of fun. I really liked the parkour it was nice with the salivation and such. The mario kind of power ups are also very fun and did work well!
Very nice, because it is so hard maybe you could add 3 hearts/lives before restarting :) I managed to win, cool animation :)
Oef, very difficult but very fun. Cool sounds and nice atmosphere.
It's a nice and unique little game. In my opinion the game was a little to long although it gave me a sense of being very good at it :D
Very calmly game... I like it. Good way to cool off after playing some other intensive arcade like games. Very Polished and the piano sound fit perfectly!
Very hard but that makes it fun :D Had some problems when I pressed main menu, the music of the main menu started again but the game over screen stayed... Cool game tho :) Really cool music!
Hahaha very funny, to bad no-one was online, maybe just add one (or more) random bots to drive around if few people are online. Would have liked to shoot someone hehe.
Cool game, really liked the lighting. Smart to use java as it runs on all systems, something I might do next time too.
Very nice!
Overall nice game. Took some time to figure out how it all worked but very nice. Maybe it would be nice if you start with some kind of tutorial were they point you to were to take some water then were the mushrooms are and so on... Just to make the start easier.
nice game and nice music. One little note, when restarting a level (button "o") the health doesn't reset. I don't think that should be the case right?
Haha smart way to make walking animation and funny too :) Maybe some upgrades would have been nice, so you become quicker or something.
Wauw that is intense. Never got above 1000, but then again I don't have quick reflexes. Maybe a hard, medium, easy game mode would be nice.
Very nice game! Very cool start screen. Maybe when introducing a new element the first thing that drops should be the new thing. When the quantum food was introduced it only occurred once at the end of the round, that was a little confusing. But overall very cool game!
Nice game, but I didn't see any enemies?
Haha I liked the soundeffects. They are very fitting for the pixel art theme. Fun game!
haha very funny, liked the music and the funky theme :)
very nice game, cool twist at the end :)
very fun game! Difficult but instant reloading made it not so bad to keep trying.
Really liked your game. The theme of global warming gonna get ya is really a nice touch. Didn't understand the raft building though but maybe that's me :D good job.
I was constantly avoiding the police and football players but when I accidentally run into them they just died. Didn't expect that to happen. Very nice graphics though.
Nice game! Liked the music and the animations a lot.
very funny game. I liked it a lot.
Very nice game and very nice music :D Yeah I also had the problem when saving to 1.5K and also I din't know what to hire the guys for but it became clear pretty fast so that's okey. Really liked the game acually good job :)
Very nice! Very simple but still interesting puzzle kind of game.

I made a similar game but with ants. Really cool combo of recruiting goblins and controlling a character as well. As said before the attacks feel not really great. There lacks some kind of feedback of hitting the plushies. Maybe particles of white wool would give it the feeling you are plowing through them. Love the funny noices too.
Creature Stealer by Lussard Studio 2024-10-14T15:51:01Z ♥ 1
Really liked the style and the overall vibe. Was a little confused on what to do from time to time.

This was so nice! The voice over really made it so much better.
Space Invaders by Jiri Hysek 2024-10-09T19:00:16Z ♥ 1
Nice game. It feels really polished. Its a simple yet fun concept. The difficulty level was also pretty good which can be hard with these kind of games. Very nice!
Ohh and the graphics are very nice. Looks very nice style.
tiny villages by OldDog 2024-10-09T06:41:44Z ♥ 1
Very fun game, I love clicker elements combined with the day night cycle. It breaks the simple click and upgrade loop into something more complex. Very nice.
I one bug though, at some point one of the monsters didn't die at night. It's lives were drained but it kept exsisting and destroyed my buildings through the day while my soldier and archer just watched.

La RΓ©volution Francheese: Bonamouse by MrBananaz 2024-10-08T07:13:22Z ♥ 7
Very nice game. Its a little hard to control but that is the challenge I guess. Really like the art and audio on this game. The dying by traps was not entirely clear to me what happened in the beginning. Good job!
Maginot by vfqd 2024-10-07T21:20:52Z ♥ 1
Very nice game! Impressive that you have so many working entities in 48h. Also the game feels really balanced which is more difficult as that number grows i suppose. Funny how shooting at the sea has no real value yet I'm ready to invest many of my resources towards it.
