LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

SCRAMBLED by aurel 2017-12-07T14:08:34Z

I managed to find an egg on a alter at the end of a corridor! ... but an evil knight spawned, pushed me against the wall until I reached a new plan of existence through the wall and above the level ^^

Climbing ladder was not easy but I could workaround thanks to double jump.

I'm looking forward to play the Post-LD version :)

Christmas UnicOrniments by WorkRelatedMedia 2017-12-08T15:51:13Z

Very fun homemade sounds!

All was fun until I couldn't pass the wrapped gift box and the flying sound was playing in loop therefore fulfilling the theme.

I Felt Your Presents by sikosis 2017-12-11T12:10:33Z

The link is working now and I had fun sorting the presents.

Note that there may be a bug with santa's belly that gets in the way of presents if you have not activated the sorting action.

Slashey (VR Only!) by shadowbrain 2017-12-08T15:04:28Z

That's great to see some VR game ! I liked the procedural levels which works quite well. Unfortunately I didn't succeed to interact with robots, I used a Vive headset, I don't know if it's relevant.

Darkest Cavern [We didn't make it] by Firewill 2017-12-08T14:31:28Z

It happens to the best of us, it is hard to deliver. Best of luck for the post jam version.

Santa's Factory by SaraMartins 2017-12-07T16:43:31Z

I saved christmas and now I know how santa's helpers feel!

Deck the Hauls by DrunkardWolf 2017-12-07T16:28:20Z

The game seem nice but UnityPlayer.dll is missing. I couldn't play the game, sorry.

Stampede - Run or DIE by Erik Brunnstrom 2017-12-07T17:10:38Z

I chose the rocker from the right and I wasn't able to move.

I picked the centre one and I could play a very fun game!

I liked the music and graphics. Also, this fits the theme perfectly and I like rock, so a good time overall.

Witches' Brew by Likirus 2017-12-07T17:43:47Z

Nice game but maybe too hard for my taste. Nice job, specially when done by yourself and with your own engine!

Noise Hunter by Impoqo Games 2017-12-08T14:20:42Z

I had trouble to go past lvl 2 but I'm not sure that I understood how the avalanche is triggered though. Very nice game. I liked the graphics and humor. Good job

Energy by daviddiagonza 2017-12-07T12:29:53Z

I had a good time playing your game. Animations are in sync with the music and overall mood is good :)

Maybe throw in other types of energy cells to diversify? Compose music depending on activated cells?

Snowy Pinball by chu 2017-12-07T12:54:27Z

I had the same error as @mr-matt but I downloaded Love2D (https://love2d.org/) as mentioned in the description and pasted the content into the folder of the game to make it work.

This is exactly an early prototype of a pinball game where snow gets in the way of the player. There is a lot missing, you cannot score for instance. Also, there is a slight issue if you keep pressing the boost action that will trigger weird rebound mid-air.

That said, I had fun playing with the ball and the snow.

I think this is due to the face on the ball. Changing the face on actions and movement could improve the fun.

I hope this helps :)

Sewerbird's Ludum Dare 40 by sewerbird 2017-12-08T15:54:41Z

I think this is a good start for a game!

A bigger font size and maybe sounds feedback could be a nice addition

Cant wait for the camarero by Jukniz 2017-12-10T17:53:39Z

I had fun playing your game! Graphics and animations are good and the restaurant setting convey the theme. Even the music loop tends to reinforce the frustration over time.

Though the game is fun, one thing prevented me to enjoy it more and score higher than 719 is the character collision system.

Whenever the character collides with something, it glitches, fall and gets stunned for a moment. At first, I experienced it with customers so I thought it was by design (and it is, you lose 1 taco-life) but it also happens with walls, allowing to go through, even to escape the game world.

Regarding customers, there is a lot of them walking around and some really look like the hero sidekick, maybe have an another kind of customers like kids or change the sidekick hero face to the one he has in the shouting popup ?

Hope this helps, good job.

Keep going... you have my interest by Zebraltar 2017-12-07T00:54:24Z

I had to empty the room to find the coin but I had a nice time playing the game :)

Also the theme is there: the more book I picked, the worse it was for my inventory ;)

Claustrophobia by Fecalmancer 2017-12-07T11:54:04Z

Very well suited for the theme! :)

Level transitions are smooth, so good job with that also.

Randomisation could be improved via a "bean bag of some sort" in order to limit repetition of chain transitions and trippy levels. It was an intense experience to score more than 3500 and it doesn't feels much compared to @wareification :p

Tax Evasion Hero by ebim 2017-12-07T15:43:38Z

Thanks a lot for your feedbacks! We are glad that you enjoyed the time spent playing our game! We can work on a post submission version now.

The issue about the left click not working mentioned by @greg & @andreas-ragen-ayal may be due to the fact that we didn't provide enough informations in-game. If not, please let us know more about how to reproduce.

As pointed by @likirus, there is 5 objects to pickup (interact with) and 5 valuables to alter (requiring a different amount of time). Each combination has a feedback. There is a cursor color change if you can interact with an object but maybe too subtle. Also, we did focused on being able to deliver on time quality graphics and complete features. We will do better next time hopefully.

As mentioned by @giraffecat, the ranking system isn't clear enough. We didn't have the time to implement the audit phase that would have been helpful to illustrate the notation mechanisms. Actually, there is 5 grades: S, A, B, C and F. S is the only ONE way to alter the valuables and be able to keep the money (minus alteration devaluation).

@le-american, @iamsodarncool, @asellio, @6smith, @zgragselus : thank you for your kind words

Stay tuned for updates

Tax Evasion Hero by ebim 2017-12-11T16:14:16Z

We are grateful to everyone for the given feedbacks, so we worked on a post jam version. - PostJam (Windows): - changelog: - time automatically increments and is limited now - add UI feedback for interactable objects - remove drop feature - add object state (hidden/broken) and overall balance to improve audit details panel lisibility - WASD/ZQSD/gamepad support in-game.

Less Is More by Jack Donovan 2017-12-11T12:15:49Z

Sorry, I could not test the game (on Windows), UnityPlayer.dll was missing.

Breakout Breakdown by TheBoss 2017-12-11T12:25:37Z

Nice remake of arkanoid with some new flavors!

Nice graphics and animations, overall fun.

Fits the theme but a little bit too overwhelming for me due to screenshakes allowing me to score only 38
