LD39 — Running out of Power

Ten Little Letters by blinry 2017-07-31T13:15:58Z

It is a very good idea. It is nice to see the letter with the dot where we have clicked at the end. The minimalist design is good. However, it is too hard. I tried a lot of time and never succeed to have more than 3 letters. There are too many letters that are similar (O/D, X/K,...). Also, I think you should use a font where all the letters have the same dimension (for example, here the W is larger than the D so it is hard to visualize the border of the board). But it stays a very good game !

The adventure of Dotty by Erkberg 2017-07-31T12:04:38Z

The idea around meditation is interresting and it is nice to have a progressive difficulty that let the player learn the basis. The controls are not very intuitive but I suppose it is a part of the game. Still, I wonder if it will not be better to remove the run mode that is not very usefull and always decrease energy when you walk instead. In my opinion, the narrative phases was a little too long. Also you need to chose between the humoristic and cute cartoon and the dark music from the eighties.

Tiny Wiring by Domantas 2017-08-13T17:47:43Z

Very good game. The concept is interesting and the level design is good. It is nice to have various mechanics as the key or the enemy, it adds complexity and immersion to the level. The minimalist visual is well done. However, the controls are not very intuitive at first so it could be nice to show visually which generator is selected. Good job !

INVISIBRO by FisherGoodwin 2017-07-31T15:47:51Z

The gameplay is classic and the game a little short but the graphics are good and the difficulty challenging. And it is nice to have a cute end screen that end the story after the very difficult last level !

Highway to the Nearest Gas Station by ping78 2017-07-31T14:47:26Z

At first, I thought it was a funny little simulation game. Then I saw my car slide down during a stop and I started to become a little anxious. Then I lose my sense of direction and I was afraid to backtrack. Then I was wondering if it was an infinite road and I panicked. But I finished to the gas station so everything is ok. Very good horror game.

LOW BATT by simonhutchinson 2017-08-02T15:52:12Z

It was an unexpected game but nonetheless it fit the theme. I liked he music that we generate as playing. It is nice to have a countdown clock even if it is just a relaxing game. Thanks to that, it give it a proper end rather than the player quitting when he begins to be bored.

Drawing with Light by boundtotheearth 2017-08-01T15:04:20Z

The idea is great idea and it could make a very good game. But in the present state, it is frustrating because the player spend more time to die because of the bad controls and jump than to explore the main concept of the game. I think you should make the jump and the obstacle easier and the light-gun "puzzle" harder. Here you have too many energy to put mark and even without mark you can finnish a level. As this is an interesting mechanic, I would like to play to an improved version !

Powerpoint Panic by KevKevOnFire 2017-07-31T16:03:47Z

Very original idea and nice graphics. A good parody of business meeting ! But the game is too simple and a little repetitive even if it is nice to have 3 different gauge to describe the audience. I think you should make the audience's attention decrease faster.

Power Ring Facility by Herman Chau 2017-08-08T13:19:34Z

With its original concept and its good minimalist design, the game is very fun but it become too difficult for me from the level 2.001, I would like to have a checkpoint in this level. I think you don't need the overload mechanic as the game is already very challenging without. I will try another time to see the end !

Rocket Bow by xykvy 2017-08-13T18:17:22Z

Fun game with good visual and excellent music. It just need a more challenging difficulty and a scoring system (and may be some sound effect when you touch an enemy or a ghost).

Don't Let the Light Go Out by BeamKirby 2017-08-01T14:10:29Z

Great game, fun and challenging ! May be the gameplay is a little classic, but the ambiance and controls are good. It is nice to have various enemies as it forces the player to use different strategy to kill them and make the jetpack useful.

Power Grid Manager by cudabear 2017-07-31T12:31:32Z

7120 points ! It was very fun, mostly at the end when all become crazy. The concept is simple but it is nice to have the button and the broken key to add challenge. The music and graphics are well suited. Good job !

Superstuff by tddawson 2017-08-13T17:23:04Z

The gameplay is simple but thhe difficulty is challenging and it is interesting to choose between laser or jump to pass an obstacle. It would be nice to have sound effect when you jump/shoot laser.

Running out of Power Inc. by stuffed wombat 2017-08-08T12:59:34Z

Good little game. The narration is interesting and the platform is challenging (but the wide spikes are little frustrating) and it was nice the the two was linked sometimes. However, I agree with @superpokeunicorn when he says that the reading occasionally led to weird pacing. The minimalist design works well. Good job !

Nyctophobia by mhaton 2017-08-02T12:48:24Z

Nice game with a very good mood. I liked the music and the small narration. But it is too difficult. I make a lot of try but I did not succeed to go to the end. May be it needs a way to regenerate our light.

Electric Neon by kamikaziuk 2017-08-03T04:23:50Z

About 200 points using normal mode. The atmosphere is very good so even if the battery system wasn't challenging in normal mode, I enjoyed to simply drive the car in this scenery. I would like to play the same game in a bigger environment !

S.O.S. by adam-gould 2017-08-02T13:17:30Z

A simple game, but I liked the fact that the gameplay features (the day/night cycle, the phone battery) contribute to the difficulty as well as the immersion. I would just replace the cactus wall by something less artificial.

Aesthetics Raider by undi 2017-08-08T12:37:23Z

The gameplay is simple but the combination of the soundtrack and visual creates a strange and funny ambiance ! At first, I did not notice the dash button and I finished the game without using it. I tried a second time using it and the difficulty was a little simple as long as you do not try to beat your best time. May be the dash should also consume a few energy ?

Wormrun by apxllon 2017-08-02T12:10:15Z

Very simple and short, but enjoyable with good music and graphics ! It is just a little sad that the game over was just a pop-up window.

Night shift by scambier 2017-08-13T18:03:36Z

The visual is very good and it succeed to make the game immersive even it the gameplay is very simple. It is very nice to use buildings lights to show the decrease of energy. But the gameplay become quickly repetitive so I think it needs more various mecanics.

Hungry Sky by edmond00 2017-07-31T16:27:16Z

Thanks everybody for your comments !

@dimesto52 The notice go to the end of the bar only when your food counter go to 0. So the goal of the game is to avoid this !

@stormforce02 There is no win state currently, just an infinite (but repetitive) randomly generated world to explore.

Hungry Sky by edmond00 2017-08-02T14:58:53Z

Thanks for yours comments ! I did not notice the delay in movement until I read the comments even if it was obvious. I fixed it.

@amastryukov Thanks you for you comment. You are right about the lack of incentive, I should add a goal or a scoring system. About the red marks, they all indicate a lightning that will strike to the position of the avatar when the yellow bar pass the red mark. So if there are 3 marks, 3 lightnings will strike.

@hungare Thank you for your long comment, I appreciate it !

Hungry Sky by edmond00 2017-08-13T16:47:16Z

Thanks everybody for yours comments !

@urbanhelsing If you have java installed, you have to unzip the archive download on itch.io (with 7-zip for example) and open the file 'launch.jar' in the repository called 'HungrySky'. As java is portable, it should work on any system, but as I only tested with my computer, there might be some problems depending on os or java version. Sorry if it is complicated, I will try to make a web player or a more friendly executable next time.

And Here Again by PerduGames 2017-07-31T11:34:22Z

The mood is nice but the the game is a little hard to understand. I think you should add more explanation about the purpose and the rules of your game. Also, the music was not playing (It is may be only my machine because I use a mac and the mac version was not working so I used the windows one with wine). But I listened it apart and it was good !

Enerzoid by eXr 2017-08-03T03:45:16Z

I liked it very much. My best is 11. The minimalist design enhances the addictive gameplay. The difficulty is good except may be when two successive orbs pop on the opposite side of the screen where is too difficult to grab and a little frustrating. I liked that there was no interruption of the game between two try. Also the sound design is very good. It is relaxing while adding pressure when your score begin to increase.

The Wiz by Michael Feldman 2017-08-02T15:34:55Z

Relaxing game. The gameplay is a little too simple but the music and the choice of color make the mood very unique ! I liked the elements only here for the ambiance (the lightnings or the birds).

Automated Explorer by Aircraft Terrier 2017-07-31T16:21:39Z

Great game ! The concept is interesting and well exploited. There is a lot of contents and the retro graphics and music are also good. Good job !

Lost Cluster by Raymoclaus 2017-08-01T15:39:14Z

I like the intention to make a relaxing space game. The game is pleasant , but as it is focus on exploration, I would like more various scenery and more fluid movement. Also, it is a little sad to encounter wall of asteroid when you explore, you should try to make an infinite world.

Character Building by Badly Drawn Rod 2017-07-31T13:43:43Z

I lost my children :( The situation and the results of our choices are sometime a little random but this is a clever use of the theme in a narrative game ! The retro design and sound are good but the text a little hard to read.

High Rise by AMastryukov 2017-07-31T15:01:33Z

I rose to the 90th floor. As the tallest residential tower (432 Park Avenue) has only 85 floors I consider that I won. I like the visual and the music but I found the gameplay too repetitive.

Head of State by TomDavies 2017-07-31T17:04:05Z

It looks interesting but it is a little hard to figure the word that you can use.

Dying (Phone) Light by neurofuzzy2 2017-08-13T17:10:02Z

The idea is interesting. However, even if the game is supposed to be painful, you should sometime give the player some real way to charge is phone to keep him hoping win the game. Here, it seems that every time you begin to charge your phone, it stop after one or two second so it give the impression to the player that it is useless to play. Also, it would be nice to have a more various gameplay for the immersion.

Cities by litill 2017-07-31T15:20:21Z

Good idea and very great mood ! The ways to show which lightpost is selected with the intensity of the light, or the risk of power failure with the sound and blinks are very nice. But from the level 4, it's become too difficult too handle all the lightposts and citizens. Also, it will be great to make the rotatable lightposts easily recognizable.

Overshadowed Road by ZoeAgxn 2017-08-06T14:01:39Z

Fun game with very good visual and music. I agree with @gilborn about changing one row only when pressing the button (or making the change a little slower). Also, I think the difficulty could be more interesting with less battery.

LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Click by Porcus_Pie 2017-12-06T15:21:38Z

Good rythm game with pretty graphics and excellent musics ! However, you should punish the player if he only smash without interruption the keyboard because you can win easily doing that. I think also that it could be encouraging to show the score during the game and not only at the end.

Remembag by Satyre 2017-12-16T04:06:09Z

Nice graphics and music ! The gameplay is original and fit the theme but become quickly repetitive and as all object was positive, there was not so much challenge.

Ignorance is Bliss by Aurel300 2017-12-09T01:34:48Z

Impressive work ! The cyberpunk mood is gorgeous! I would like to know which music you used for the game (I think there is a deux ex one ???) I think however that the player is too much lost at the beginning. Even if it is a game that need some time to be fully appreciated, giving clearer goals at the beginning and let the player try the mechanics of the game (wiretapping/sentinel) through small mission could let him be more easily involved by the story and understand how the game system work. The fact that you tape the conversation and need later to send them force the player to be attentive and this is great as you don't now precisely what you are looking for at first this is a little frustrating. Hopefully, the atmosphere is very intriguing so I still want to progress to know a little more about the game world !

Jazzy Beats by Moski 2017-12-16T04:43:10Z

A game very enjoyable and fun to play. Excellent graphics and music ! It is challenging, I tried 4 times but could not win. May be the attacks are a little unbalanced as other comments mentioned it. The gameplay is also interesting, I was very fun to convert you enemy to build an army. But is was also a little frustrating because the fans changed side too fast so sometime, fighting them seemed a little useless. Make the conversion slower and harder for the both side could make the fight pleasant may be. Great job !

テッ球 T E K K Y U by simonhutchinson 2017-12-09T02:30:34Z

The graphics, sound design and slow-motion effect make this pong game very fun and enjoyable even if very hard !

A cozy winter walk by tinyworlds 2017-12-14T16:57:56Z

Minimalist game with an enjoyable mood. I liked the cat that follow you. I was expected a little twist in the story or the gameplay at the end to fit the theme but finally I appreciated that the game stays very sober and cute even if it sounds like a misinterpretation of the theme !

Project MADNESS by Iluvatar 2017-12-12T16:23:15Z

The game crash at the end of the 4th day but it was fun to play. Nice graphics ! May be 4 days is a little repetitive but some details, as the dog that you can not walk if it is raining, give a little life to the simple gameplay. Also I am not sure what was the effect of the energy drink so may be you can do it more explicit.

Reaction Diffusion by dethe 2017-12-06T12:24:21Z

You should indicate somewhere that you have to press C to choose because the continue button do not work. The animation is a little too slow to really appreciate but the graphic render is good.

Drunken Avenue by Frenk 2017-12-12T15:45:09Z

Excellent game ! The minigames are difficult but challenging, specially the karaoke ! The main hub has a nice mood with good graphics. The cars on the road that an kill you and the drunkness levels are very interesting idea ! May be the loading are a little slow and some minigames a little fuzzy like the one where you have to avoid milk, but that remains a very good entry !

Money transporter by lexi 2017-12-09T01:51:16Z

My best is 968$ ! The gameplay is simple but original to play and challenging even if a little easy. I would like if the car when it pass the border of the screen could teleport on the other border like in pacman. The game is fun to play, good job !

Be Yourself by Noa Calice 2017-12-06T12:47:42Z

Good polished game ! On one hand, you want to survive but on the other hand, it is fun to see the animation of all the bubble accelerate and glue to the head, so the game is also fun to loose !

Games Games Games by mhsco 2017-12-05T11:37:02Z

Very good idea to stack little classic game and let the player discovers them progressively when he lose. The controls and design is also good. However, it become too difficult too fast when you loose the first game. I think you should slow the bullet apparition when you pass to an other game to make the difficulty more progressive.

The Weissman Challenge by CaramelCode 2017-12-06T14:52:18Z

The gameplay is challenging and fun to play even if as said before, that would have been great to have randomly generated sentence. Very good idea to use data compression as theme for your game !

The More The Merrier! by ACamara 2017-12-12T16:02:56Z

Very good idea and cute graphics ! The mix between a puzzle game and a gestion game is very interesting ! May you should bring people slower to give the player more time to think how to organise the room because it is hard to manage all the participant.

Busted! An Epic Cops Vs Robbers Endless Runner! by CaylebLucas 2017-12-09T03:04:46Z

Good graphics, the render of the street is very good with some details and light effect. It was a little challenging to learn the timing to jump but after that the gameplay becomes too repetitive.

Overdose by Kashif 2017-12-07T05:53:15Z

The difficulty is a little too simple but the game stay fun to play. Like for the ambulance, I think it will be good to have an indicator of how close tim is near to die / how many enemy there are to kill because in your first try you die without knowing exactly why.

A simple man by edmond00 2017-12-06T15:59:46Z

@roy87 Thank you for your message ! Unfortunately, I did not know indiexpo, and for now I only have a page on itch.io.

A simple man by edmond00 2017-12-07T04:07:14Z

@nucleose Thank you fo your feedback ! You are surely right, the procedural generation is not really necessary to the game as it is now. But in fact, I start the first day by the generation part without a clear idea of the game at first.

@exnihilo Thank you for your comment ! I appreciate that the game speaks to you that way ! I am not sure that the whole point is that it was never worth it to begin, I wish the players at least have fun on the first part of the game ^^. After, like all sandbox/open-world game end up becoming a little annoying, I tried among other things to stage this feeling.

SnakeBall by TomDev 2017-12-05T13:24:28Z

Nice little game with a good mechanic and an excellent level design. Well done !

Leader's guidance by ExNihilo 2017-12-07T00:55:27Z

It was a pleasure to to serve my beloved supreme leader but my beloved supreme leader has to understand that contrary to him, it is very difficult for un simple human being to bring 5 pieces to the workstation in less than 30s without disturbing my coworkers. I beg my beloved supreme leader to be merciful with my family as they have nothing to do with my shameful failure.

Fuga by SurprisinglyShockedCat 2017-12-09T02:19:22Z

The intro graphics, the core game and the music seem to come from 3 different game so it make the game mood a little strange ! The game is a little repetitive but stay fun to play for a little moment !

Between Stations by Sand-Gardeners 2017-12-14T17:32:35Z

Very intriguing experience ! The game is interesting as it is but I wonder it could be more exciting if it was more difficult or take more time to find the tv sequence. Here, you can find them very quick so you play them without really interruption until the end. On one hand, it reproduce well the zapping effect but on the other hand, I think the player could feel rewarded and enjoy them more if he pass more time in the snow crash looking for them. Very good art that create a strange and hypnotic mood. Good job !

Dense Revolve by fiaKaiera 2017-12-05T12:11:34Z

The last phase is very hard but this was interesting to understand that must have only one bullet to jump high enough to touch the boss. May be there is too much effect for having bullet, slow done the movement and gravity can be enough I think.

Cairn by Talia 2017-12-06T14:17:13Z

My highscore is 25. There is a little bug if you throw a stone above the screen. But the physic works well and the game is fun to play and a little addictive !

10 inches or less by Almost Panda Studio 2017-12-06T14:00:27Z

I have finished the game without cheating ! The mechanic is very cool ! Most of the levels don't ask too much reflexion to be finished but the game stay fun to play even if easy.

Computer-Man RPG by Wolfo 2017-12-14T16:39:18Z

The main mechanic is interesting and at first it is fun and challenging to understand how it works. But it quickly become a little annoying because it is a little repetitive and the fight are too long and simple. But the sound, graphics and animation are all very good and make the game very enjoyable nonetheless ! I really like the style of the graphics between the gameboy render and the handmade pencil animation. The sounds during the attacks are dynamic and the music is catchy ! Good job !

Dungeon Hoard by MRUniverse 2017-12-05T11:57:22Z

The enemy that stole your gold and the necessity to go put one coin in your chest before taking one other are interesting. However you should show when the character has a gold to put in the chest because I take time to figure why I could not take the other coin. The animation are also good. The game is may be a little easy.

SomeFin In The Way by SvenFrankson 2017-12-05T14:29:50Z

I liked the graphics and the render of the sea is great. It could give to the game an very interesting mood with some sounds. The gameplay is may be a little too simple to be engaging.

Populous by Astavie 2017-12-04T13:13:17Z

The gameplay looks interesting. I liked that the number of people jumping around the planet increase when the population increase, it give to the player a more concrete goal. But the rules are hard to figure and it is hard to understand how a ressource affect the population and why. I think you need to explain more at the beginning what is the purpose of the resources/influence/technology and how the cards work because there are a lot of unexplained info on screen.

Techno Fever by detectiveLosos 2017-12-09T03:46:56Z

Excellent atmosphere, the sound design and graphics are really great ! After that, the gameplay is very simple and the game is short. It is fun to play anyway but may be an other type of gameplay could have let the player enjoy in a better way the excellent mood of the game.

caffeine trip by meadjix 2017-12-05T14:10:37Z

A first I found the game a little boring and the main idea not very original. Then suddenly appear the psychedelic level. It was totally unexpected and the game become very fun. It become very difficult with the moving white platform but the twist make me want to finish the level to see if there was an other level after. Good job !

Magus O-Minus by Nucleose 2017-12-07T05:01:13Z

Really great mood with good sounds and graphics. Personaly, I liked the small screen ! The gameplay is fun to play while being enough simple to not encroach on the atmosphere and let the player immerse himself in the game. I was a little confused at first because i thought the right click was to speak and that there was a bug because ne message appear when i clicked on people and it is only after that I understand that smiley face was not a dialog button but an emotion icon. So may be you can make the icon more explicit. Also the end is very frustrating because like other players I finished on a dead end with a stair that was not working although the game is intriguing and I wanted to know more !

25 - The Golden Age by Ambeurk 2017-12-09T03:27:15Z

Interesting, but the problem is that it is may be too easy to stay stable so you can play a long time without encounter the end screen and you come across the same situation a lot of time. So it become more fun to try to loose than to be stable !

Mister President by Zinkler 2017-12-09T06:28:15Z

Very interesting interpretation of the theme ! The falling cash animation is a great feedback for the player. On the contrary, the bad effects of inflation are a little hard to notice although it is the core mechanic so it will be good to make them more concrete ! There is a lot of promising feature (choose our electoral promise, choose between inflation or debt) that could be really great if completely implemented !

Theme - The Game by Cubeeo 2017-12-09T02:06:15Z

I think you should indicate that the player can use the keyboard at some point because at first only the mouse is used and I was thinking it was that all along so I did not know how progress until I read comment. Also it is a little annoying to restart from the text popping screen when you die.

Tri-Angle by FussenKuh 2017-12-06T13:22:44Z

280 is my best ! The game is fun and challenging, so I have done many tries ! May the score depend too much of the luck and the ceiling was sometime frustrating but it is part of the fun and it is a little addictive anyway !

Interview at Cacophony by Christoph 2017-12-07T13:15:06Z

It was very hard but I enjoyed this game ! It let the player confirm his ability to recognize instrument and this is interesting. I would like a little easier version. Good job !

Stealy by Grentacular 2017-12-14T15:16:07Z

Excellent game ! Really interesting gameplay. If fits the theme very well and all the mechanics (the choice of the building, the police countdown, the weight...) contribute to make this burglary simulation very immersive. May be a mechanic that force the player to take more risk, like the obligation to have X$ before X turn, is missing, but it is also very fun that the difficulty depends on the choice that make the player (choice of buildings and choice of the object to take inside the building). The fact that you can drop objet add some strategy to the game. Very good work !

Soul Warrior Merope - Soaring Soul by Priom 2017-12-12T16:41:15Z

Interesting concept, specially the indirect control of the ship by the ressources gestion that is very fun ! I am not sure that there was the need to add the increase of price as the points increase to this main mechanism. Good job !

Proper Investment by Emily Turner 2017-12-05T11:16:18Z

Original Idea with intersting theme ! But because the player do not know how the different options works, it is hard to find interesting to choose instead of one other. I think you should explain more how the game works and give more feedback to the player.

Feature Creep by Garur 2017-12-14T16:06:15Z

It was a very funny experience ! The transition from a minimalist game to a messy one is very well done and the dialogue with the narrator well written. There small issues like the jump that are a little confuse and the lack of enemy once you killed them all but the concept of your game make this issues part of experience. There is a lot of new feature that are just new items so it can become a little annoying, but again it fits the message of the game and the interesting end when the game start to bug make up for it. Very good job !

Conservation Island by kix334 2017-12-09T05:46:30Z

Excellent game ! I managed the population during 286 seconds killing more than 1000 innocent rabbits, unfortunately, I ended with only female rabbit. The simple graphics are cute and it is nice to be able to rotate the island. the hammer is a little imprecise and the effect of the burning hammer a little confuse but the game is fun to play anyway.
