LD44 — Your life is currency

RollingCoin by wizzardMaker 2019-05-04T14:11:07Z

fun game, not easy one thou. Also got the bug after many restarts W didn't push me forward almost at all.

Cold Dream by reheated 2019-05-04T13:14:35Z

Great game, i played it for an hour.

The Akolythe and the Amulet of Andhor by zondarg 2019-05-01T12:31:00Z

I liked the limitation of not being able to look up or down, it made for some interesting fights

Curiosity by cakemonitor 2019-05-05T08:26:19Z

cool puzzle game. I feel like the jumping sound is too loud compare to music

Green Goo by Aggrathon 2019-05-04T14:35:52Z

Some visual feedback for upgrades and empty asteroids would be nice. the game loop is fine but it was somwhat grindy

Calienows by fatPenguin 2019-05-04T10:59:42Z

cool game, too bad i have no one to play with

Paynplayne by OrbitalBlueprint 2019-04-30T20:24:41Z

cool game

FINGER FIGHTER - High Stakes by Erik Brunnstrom 2019-05-01T12:14:34Z

Love the game idea. Can't figure out working strategy to win thou :D

Pouche by elmo 2019-04-30T19:48:11Z

@Nexusviper sorry for the motion blur i didn't realize it was on. the game is short but finished there is "you have won" on the final level. my guess is i didn't properly convey what you should do in the game. for further players: go where the arrow points and then chose door, then another door then boss and you are in next level and so on

Long live the king! by PixelSplash 2019-05-02T19:50:48Z

The graphics is definitely 5, nice models and textures, Good sound effects. the rest of the game could use tutorial, it took me some time to figure out, you need to bring the dudes close to the weapons, the same thing is true for the pulling of the dudes, some visual or sound feedback when you pulling them would be nice. Also it would be nice if you could sacrifice your own life for money in some way not just dudes.

Trading Lives by meskaline 2019-05-04T10:50:52Z

music could be better

Time Sucker by Nexusviper 2019-04-30T18:04:19Z

Game was fun at first but over time it become repetitive no sure if there is win condition but if there is it was way to far into the game. i liked the models and environment. The camera was way too low and dollars probably shouldn't insta kill you.

Found minor bug. over 100 minutes bug.png

Robots' life is Currency by gecco.xyz 2019-05-02T19:17:19Z

i liked the graphics, but 30 seconds of gameplay if i cut out waiting is kinda short. I did get kind of Stanley Parable vibe from this game thou.

Document Shrederer by kinuni 2019-05-04T10:21:01Z

I feel like the bullets were too fast or the character was too slow, this made dodging almost impossible without upgrades

Where goes your life by Tom R 2019-04-30T17:25:32Z

It is impossible for me to finish the game, seams like the the removal of souls is bound to FPS but the movement speed is not, so anyone with high end PC can't finish. also the hammer thing is bound to FPS in same way. i would recommend using real time change (time delta) for your souls--; .I didn't give you any rating because of it

LD45 — Start with nothing

Inkblot Shade by PTSnoop 2019-10-27T13:52:36Z

I like how it sucks you gently into the dynamic-blobs that's a nice touch. music is cool. Gameplay is a bit lacking, it kinda feels like it was art-piece forced into game.

Carillon by elmo 2019-10-08T17:16:30Z

I feel like all your points are valid, it was a little bit over ambitious idea at least for me, so I don't have too much time left to game test. the enemy color was ironically last hour change they use to be bright red and I didn't notice that they are hard to see in my last testing.

Buildings are basically towers so you build them close to paths.

Slime Slayer by ZachZ 2019-10-27T13:20:20Z

Interesting idea, I kinda wish there were some pickup on higher platforms. There are performance slowdowns in random times.

Dreamscaping by Kirbloid 2019-10-27T14:29:56Z

Cool game and idea. Only thing i wish that you could rotate while holding orbs

LD46 — Keep it alive

Autoexec by reheated 2020-04-24T21:26:11Z

Great game, loved music, solid entry.

Of The Dark by cogcomp 2020-04-22T10:40:58Z

i'm not big fan of spawners in general in all games. i din't figure out any way to regain health is there any?

Props for making so much in no so user friendly 2D engine.

Lemons! by funisfun8 2020-04-23T17:37:09Z

i think you have missed great opportunity to make squishing lemon sounds especially when they fall

The Lockdown by loudrasiel 2020-04-23T17:02:51Z

cool game. just wish events wouldn't hide action menu.

Flame Keeper by codexus 2020-04-23T17:28:22Z

it's lit af

Acorn City by testlab 2020-05-03T11:41:27Z

Cool game, i'm impressed how much have you done in not so user friendly engine. Some nut sense (or arrow) for finding last few would be much appreciated.

While scoring i realized that it doesn't have much to do with the LD theme but i guess that is subjective.

Power plant by elmo 2020-04-25T09:31:16Z

@jonaspk the music was the most ridiculous part as i'm not musician and on guitar i can't play anything. i made it by plucking four notes on repeat and then switching it up, then i put it into audacity and speeded it up and removed all the bad sound. it came out much better then i expected i wanted to be something like dwarf fortress theme song. DF theme song is much better but want i made is at least similar.

Power plant by elmo 2020-04-25T11:23:04Z

@SplitPainter tutorial is just copy of map, with disabled tick event. then there is event that is called on action with enum and it continues if they are equal as current, terrible way to do it from performance point of view.

thanks for feedback.

Power plant by elmo 2020-05-01T11:22:10Z

@HuvaaKoodia it's SFX self extracting zip archive that is extracted to temp folder in "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp" to my understanding it is deleted after pc restart. i packed it in this to make it simpler for users that don't have rar/7z software.

there is definitely lots of UI changes that i din't make in time so it is sort of scuffed.

Power plant by elmo 2020-05-03T13:47:53Z

@rrrzzz Power poles have description: Priority is Hospital>Lamps>City. So if hospital require more than you are able to supply lamps and city gets nothing.

Some of the game nuances probably should have been in tutorial, but making tutorial is one of my least favorite task so i kinda give up after several steps :smile: .

Dart Attack by EternalXP 2020-04-24T18:10:26Z

Really feel that the movement ball(body) should not have collision with you(heart), and it should move more aggressively toward mouse. it makes the whole movement feel clunky just because these small problems. i liked the neon style.

Keep It Burning by _benhumphries 2020-04-30T16:42:55Z

The real boss is the window border. i think fullscreen would really help this game.

Here, Fishy Fishy! by themadprogramer 2020-04-24T21:42:01Z

Audio is way too loud. sometimes fish literally ignores the clicks and death can't be avoided.

Scared by epb9000 2020-05-03T11:59:02Z

the movement felt unresponsive, because you have to wait for some bar to fill until you can enter next move. moment que would help in my opinion and/or make the delay shorter. also i have no idea what the wisps do, brief tutorial would help a lot. I like the atmosphere that it was trying to deliver and i like the scribble graphics.

Feed The Slime by PythooonUser 2020-04-30T22:22:25Z

nice graphics and sound effects... nom nom nom... :smile:

Cthulhu: The Cult Must Not Die by LaserPanzerWal 2020-04-26T11:16:15Z

Graphics are amazing. i'm fan of cultist theme the music and look was spot on. the game-play was not the best, enemies should have had health bar you have it with the cultists but for some reason not on enemies, i really wish there were more then just clicking on enemies or at least that they would have been less bullet spongy.

Frostpunk spin off - the royal segway

Keep the Plants Alive by vys 2020-04-24T22:05:01Z

I really like the growth animation.

Harvest Season by singleshoe 2020-04-26T10:59:58Z

cool game, really liked that you could add water to sprinklers.

Darryl in Distress by KieranCoppins 2020-04-23T17:18:02Z

me: "no, no don't do it... want did i tell you" :D

Genki by GOD COLO 2020-04-23T21:10:38Z

for such simple premise it was fun, it has that something that all the good Shoot 'em ups have. after 250 it started to lag so quit, i'm taking it as win condition :smile:

LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Street Violin by elmo 2020-10-05T15:45:16Z

@tolmera no as i don't own mac and web build is no longer supported by Epic. Sorry
