LD39 — Running out of Power

Portals and Boxes by Luis Giron 2017-08-02T06:44:02Z

Interesting mechanics! It's a little confusing, though. Just like the previous commenter, I couldn't get past the second level.

Minor nitpick: it's uncomfortable to use the WASD keys with the X key and the space bar. The arrow keys are more comfortable to use with those.

The graphics are nice and my favorite part was the music! It's very catchy and reminds me a lot of Anamanaguchi! Good job!

Superbman by coomzy 2017-08-02T19:18:25Z

Very solid gameplay! It's a bit hard to get into, but once you understand how to use the different jumps, it becomes really fun!

Icarus Fate by saintheiser 2017-08-03T20:10:28Z

Nice job, specially on the graphics!

Some sound would go a long way towards making this feel more complete, though.

Captain Lettuce by geck0 2017-08-03T20:30:15Z

Surprisingly satisfying to play!

I have 2 suggestions: you already have a screen shake when you punch, but add some particles and that punch is gonna be even more satisfying. Other than that, being able to do a sequence of punches would be nice.

Good job!

Solar Miner by mrboxbox 2017-08-02T20:20:18Z

One of my favorites so far! I love the minimalistic art style! The player control could be a bit more responsive, but that's all.

Good job!

Buddies Bad Day by elit3dgaming 2017-08-03T00:30:20Z

Nice little game! A bit too easy, though.

If you wanted to add more mechanics then keep at it! I'm curious to see what they were.

Audio Hook (formerly Hook, Beat, & Keeper) by mrjoshuamclean 2017-08-02T08:49:16Z

Nice idea, you really don't see many games based around music.

Music which, by the way, is the star of the show, of course! I've clicked on a few of your song through twitter and you never cease to impress me. Good job!

Plugging Away by AfroAnt 2017-08-02T07:30:05Z

Best use of the theme so far! I really liked that you need to phisically move the power cable between outlets while you fight the enemies.

Great use of particles, too.

I'm just not sure it's very safe to give an escape pod that much fire power... =D

Breathless Parks - Running, out of Power by gonutz 2017-08-02T23:46:25Z

I didn't find gameplay that hard, but I though it was strangely irresponsive. Some times the player character just refused to move, while other he almost started running at full speed from the beggining.

Great combination of art and voice overs! Perhaps because of the name it reminds me of south park.

Apprentice by ThiefViolinist 2017-08-02T18:18:03Z

Very interesting use of the theme. Gameplay is a little confusing, and it could've used some sound, though.

I really like the graphics!

Light by Curtz 2017-08-02T18:00:47Z

Feels like a fusion between Super meat Boy and Limbo. Good job!

Core Defender by Spexxilove 2017-08-03T20:13:49Z

Nice work! I like the use of lighting and specially the bouncing cubes used as scenario!

Unit S-2 by duskpn 2017-08-01T21:06:27Z

Hey, thanks for the feedback!

I forgot to disable WASD in the end-Jam rush. Running makes no noise, but it costs way more energy than walking the same distance.

I'll look into this problem with the robots. I thought I had solved it =/

EDIT- I have since fixed the problem with enemies making you permanently stuck

Powering Down by jwin 2017-08-03T03:33:04Z

Amazing! Really solid gameplay, very well polished, great graphics, well balanced.

Really, the only suggestion I give is giving the player a way to change the energy without pausing, but other than that...congratulations!

Tomaton by ursagames 2017-08-03T03:48:33Z

Really impressive what you could achieve in the timeframe of a LD, but ,as you said it yourself, you might have gone a little too overboard on the scope.

Please keep working on it, it would be interesting to see where this went!

ErixStein 3D by ThatSnillet 2017-08-02T20:05:11Z

Very cool idea! A bit confusing, though. Took me a few tries to understand what was going on. Also, for some reason batteries kept spawning inside walls.

Good job!

SolarPower by jesusnoseq 2017-08-02T08:59:35Z

Interesting idea, with really nice use of Unity's lighting and particle systems!

The silence is appropriate for a space based environment like this, but I think I hear some background noise, is that my imagination?

My only complaint is that sometimes it's too hard to judge if the ship will have energy or not based on the light, so I tend to overshoot

Mayor on a Roll by maniacanshul 2017-08-02T07:02:40Z

Fun game! It controls a bit awkwardly with the shown WASD keys, but the arrow keys work fine. I really liked the crazy mood set by the combination of the graphics and sound. Gameplay was a little odd to get into, but once you get it going, it's pretty great!

Vivid Sustain by faemir 2017-08-02T19:51:43Z

Nice game! Simple and fun!

Manual Mech by Mikeliosus 2017-08-02T23:39:16Z

Great game! Incredibly creative use of the theme, although it got maybe a little too confusing, specially with how the brain is usually hard wired for WASD controls.

A suggestion: if you guys can find some way to make this work on a gamepad, it would probably be easier to play.

Really good job!

Shield Defender by realryanrogers 2017-08-03T00:13:01Z

Simple and well executed! The only problem I have with it is that un-winnable situations with two rocks coming in almost at the same time are too common.

Good job!

TRIAL OF THE 3 SUNS by Godot35 2017-08-03T00:22:51Z

Interesting game! The shooting mechanic is really creative and I like how you slowly introduce the mechanics.

I thought the jump was a little to hard to control.

Also, I love the GB style graphics!

Marvin's Message by ryluu 2017-08-03T20:20:10Z

Very good! Starts slow, but ramps up pretty nicely!

I also really liked the pixel art.

Light Switch Crusader by TedScottPilgrim 2017-08-02T07:11:24Z

I really like it! The idea is freaking amazing and the voiceover makes it really funny!

I thought the controls were a bit irresponsive, though. It was really, really hard to avoid those cats.

The graphics are pretty simple, but you get 5 stars on the main character alone!

Very Fast Robot Rolling at High Speed by binary_coder 2017-08-03T20:00:11Z

Really clever use of the mechanics, specially those moments where you have to run out of energy on purpose.

I also like the progression of mechanics and difficulty, it's surprisingly smooth for a LD game.

Good job!

Cheetah Power by shabap 2017-08-03T20:45:50Z

Good job! I really like the interpretation of the theme and I'd love to see this further developed!

Power Up by MMM 2017-08-03T02:39:51Z

After you get used to the lack of depth perception, it gets pretty easy.

I really liked the mood set by the combination of graphics and sound.

You know what this game would benefit a lot from? VR! That would give it the required depth perception and make the whole experience pretty surreal.

Sleepy Orphan Simulator by Barney Cumming 2017-08-02T08:36:33Z

Amazing! Great graphics, great sound design, creative gameplay and awesome mood overall!

My only complaint is that I'm too stupid to beat it =p

Bright Plateau by fmdkdd 2017-08-02T20:32:51Z

Amazing! The puzzle mechanic is intuitive and smart and you take the time to introduce each element before actual puzzles.

I absolutely adore the low res 3D graphics!

I'm not usually one for puzzle games, but this is certainly of one my favorite games this LD!
