LD51 — Every 10 seconds

10 Second Shmup by stmatn 2022-10-09T23:44:47Z

A really good idea, and well implemented! I didn't find it to hard to shoot other spaceships, but maybe because my strategy was mainly to kill the easy ones and let the other pass by... Enemies with different pattern would probably not be the same story though. I think it could be nice to be able to maneuver a bit more during each phase. Maybe with more action or shorter phases (since the duration can't change, maybe changing the speed of the spaceships could work ?). Anyway, well done!

Factory Manager Hero by mstrp 2022-10-05T01:10:48Z

Nice game ! I had fun playing it :)

A-Maze-ing Adventure by Vodzik 2022-10-11T20:58:20Z

Really nice ! I like the idea but it's a bit hard with the wall changing every 10 second. Really enjoyed the dark atmosphere !

The Temple of KnowlEGG by Carraka 2022-10-11T22:11:07Z

Nice game ! I really liked the humor and the jukebox feature is a nice touch. I couldn't pass the second level as it felt I was missing a power to jump further but I could just go faster... Also I tend to give up pretty fast and I probably missed something. Well done !

Hellish Descent by Peter Jonsson 2022-10-11T17:02:27Z

Nice entry ! It feels clean and polished. Well done !

QuickThink: Necromancer by Ganny 2022-10-11T21:39:42Z

I liked it a lot ! Really innovative and nice graphics. It is a bit hard sometimes and some visual clues could help. I would have liked that the strength of the spell stays on screen a little bit longer as I couldn't focus on anything else than the grid and I had no idea how well I did each time. Also a checkpoint system could be a nice addition to not start over every time (although it's pretty fast to go up in the levels). Overall a great entry ! Well done !

ETERNARC by Talops 2022-10-11T20:46:18Z

Really nice game ! I like the balance between progressing in the game and managing the other resources. Also how the timer can both be a constraint and help you avoid enemies. Really fun and well balanced, well done !

Lys by VPhyre 2022-10-04T13:16:18Z

Really fun game ! The art is amazing and the gameplay is solid. I had some trouble to know the direction the mirror where going to turn when I click on it (maybe a visual cue would help). Also it's a bit funny how the light ray stops when it's not reaching anything (but a good clue where to aim). Just details though. Great game overall ! Parabéns !

Ring King 51 by bramreth 2022-10-11T15:26:00Z

Nice game ! A bit laggy on my modest laptop... I liked the humor !

Get The Last Spot! by Russ Moonbase 2022-10-05T01:47:38Z

That feeling when you drift to the spot ! A lot of attention to details and a really good gameplay. Well done !

Pumpkin Prowler by Spice Cabinet 2022-10-05T15:17:30Z

I liked it. The gameplay is simple and efficient and the art style is nice (would have love to see applied to the whole level). The camera movement is bit weird (I'm guessing it tries to follow both the player and the prowler) and it's a bit hard to avoid the prowler (maybe other clues of its position could help). But overall a fun game, well done !

Cosmic Crashers by mrjeremy 2022-10-11T19:03:19Z

Nice game !

Hectical Escape by fgamer99 2022-10-11T18:54:47Z

Nice game ! The charged jump mechanic is original and the inclusion of a tutorial level is always a nice touch. I liked how Steve looks really old and can suddenly jump three times its height.

My Creatures by Itskdog 2022-10-13T20:18:41Z

Really nice game ! I like how the core concept is simple yet still engaging. I inadvertently sold all my creatures except one, so I was stuck on discovering new creatures. Also it's a bit overwhelming at the beginning as the number of creature grow really quickly and I was trying to please them. But I really like it, well done !

You're Furnished! The 10-Second Movers by Xenith 2022-10-11T21:59:40Z

Nice game. I could see it being really funny with just a few extra features. I liked how you can just cram all the furniture in one room or even outside. Well done !

Overheated Laser by betovf 2022-10-13T21:33:54Z

I really liked it ! It's quite an interesting puzzle game and a good take on the theme. It's to much of a punishment to start over at each attempt, but I guess it would be too easy to be able to try the same puzzle as much as you want. Maybe something in between like a life system would works. Also, I found the blue and black spiral a bit tough on the eyes. Otherwise nice game !

Blades of Doom by Benjamin Halko 2022-10-03T04:47:05Z

Fun, fast and clean. Well done !

Ruins of Resurrection by MorePixels 2022-10-06T02:23:25Z

I liked this one a lot ! Sure there is few thing that could be refined (spawning closer to the teleporters or, as other mentioned, having the timer start when you teleport, maybe walk on the checkpoint/teleporters to use them rather than a keystroke,...) but going for a puzzle game with a ten second timer constraint is audacious, and in this case it works really well !

No Man's Land by dodgergram 2022-10-05T02:55:28Z

It's not missing much for it to be playable and probably even fun. Too bad it's unfinished, I would have liked to try it !

Timelapse by EtherianX 2022-10-05T01:13:31Z

@mstrp Thank you ! Yes it's missing a few elements to make it more engaging (like some kind of goal)...

Timelapse by EtherianX 2022-10-05T01:22:42Z

@phoenixofforce Thanks ! Yes that can happen. The corruption mechanic was supposed to be a bit more elaborated, spreading and evolving. But it's one of the last thing I implemented so I had to compromise. Glad you liked it !

Timelapse by EtherianX 2022-10-06T01:59:57Z

@davidtheginger Wow, I hadn't look at it this way ! I'm actually really interested in cellular automaton and, now that you mention it, that would completely fit the gameplay. I may come back to work on this game in the future after all... Thanks for the tip !

Gravity Blocks by Soultie 2022-10-05T02:15:50Z

Nice ! really clean and well executed. The gameplay is simple but fun and the graphics are really good.

Once Upon a Time by Astaroth 2022-10-11T21:18:12Z

That's a nice first entry. I like the idea but it could use a bit more polish. It's a bit hard to touch enemies by shooting only in two directions, maybe having them dying in one shot would help. Also it's a bit too bad that the changes are only cosmetic except for the keys (I think ?). It would have been nice if it had an impact on the gameplay. Good call on changing the timer to one second by the way. Even if it takes you out of the theme, I think it's more engaging this way. Well done !

Energy Out by Govoroha 2022-10-11T17:19:57Z

Great idea ! I felt that a bit more thoughts could have been put in the level design. For example a tutorial level to allow the player to experiment with the robots. Otherwise I found it quite fun. Well done !

No Time For Love by davidtheginger 2022-10-05T02:08:47Z

Really fun ! I like the joke about upping the *speed* of speed dating. Would have been nice to have a few more rounds with each bachelor(ette/x) to really get to know them a bit though. Well done !
