LD49 — Unstable

Stable Inc. by Fedora 2021-10-12T17:35:57Z

Super well done, very impressive! Missing some visuals (namely, the bomb's radius, and clarifying when some stuff triggers (I thought butt shot was a bug for the longest time)). All in all, fun, smooth and very well executed.

A Hard Pill to Swallow by osh.studio 2021-10-12T18:15:16Z

Amazing. Legitimately funny, good input mechanic, cute graphics. Only gripe is that the pill guy boomerangs a bit, probably due to "air" resistance, which can be annoying. But yeah, this was a gem, friendo.

Where's My Tripod? by Pixelydian 2021-10-12T18:21:09Z

Lovely pixel art. Cute concept. Difficult to know if my shots were good or not, and why? But yeah. Great job overall.

Bricks Ahead by Weekend Warrior 2021-10-12T17:46:43Z

Beautiful visuals. Not sure if there's a goal to reach? If there is, I didn't reach it. That would've been cool.

LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Concave Knave by krammetje 2022-04-05T11:20:17Z

Cool to see a fighting game. Jump height and dashing felt really nice. Good music.

I missed some kind of life meter, and i wish there was more feedback on hits (both on the player character & on the boss). Doesn't have to be fancy, just flashing the sprite and play a simple sound effect.

Well done!

Farm Dog by Trypants 2022-04-06T17:00:38Z

Great entry, one of the most enjoyable games so far! Controls are smooth, sound is nice. Love the upgrade system. Did you create the character models over the weekend? If so, that's very impressive. Either way, the artstyle is nice and the game is very enjoyable.

One small gripe is that almost 1/3 of the time I picked an upgrade by mistake since the screen shows up instantly and right in the middle of all the action. If you moved it to a corner OR let the player open it from a button, it would minimize or remove the issue.

Overall, fantastic entry, well done, good luch and thanks for making the game for me to play :)

Snowmageddon by PurpledArtFrog 2022-04-05T13:56:47Z

Fun! I liked the strategy and tense waiting for an opening in the penguins' patrols. Movement was also smooth, and bonus points for functional pathfinding!

Also, cool menus & fonts, (though they're clashing a little with the rest of the game?)

Great job!

Fart Feat by PurpoAppo 2022-04-06T17:53:58Z

From reading the description, I thought i'd hate this. But it's actually a gem! Fun twist on the theme, and a truly unique game mechanic. Well done!

Thanks, Socrates by WilhelmStein 2022-04-06T18:46:53Z

Genuinely funny, original and a cool take on the theme. Fun voice acting.

Fabulous entry, well done!

Too Cute for Space Fights by YogurtTheHorse 2022-04-05T19:54:07Z

Very, very stylish. One or more extremely talented pixel artists worked on this piece. Not just the style and detail in itself, but with an anything-but-safe color palette to top it off. On top of that; great choice of music IMO. And your bot's got some seriously sassy energy.

Wormy by PetTurtle 2022-04-05T11:07:52Z

Very cool concept. Great physics makes for smooth gameplay and exciting daredevil jumps. Great music, albeit a tad repetitive. Cute graphics, bonus points for LD50 splash screen. :)

One of my favorites so far, great work! :clap::clap::clap:

Battery Low by Milestone Games 2022-04-05T12:08:01Z

Thanks for the report @ayosetrujillo, we'll look into it!

Burning Spirit by dotPoozer 2022-04-05T11:35:07Z

Crazy scope for a game jam, yet delivering on so much of it. Very impressive.

Art is amazing, the code holds up and you can tell a lot of work and passion went into this. Intro/outro videos are very well done too.

Gameplay very interesting but the strategy (and lots of comfy art) gets lost due to the stress of everything happening in real time. There's no time for me to read the cards, appreciate the art, understand special abilities etc - just quickly grab 8 sand cards, throw 4 of them at each enemy (no time to calculate how much dmg i actually have to do), rinse & repeat.

In short, incredibly impressive (and great-looking) game that could reach even higher with just a few small tweaks. Ping me if you keep developing on it - i'd love to try it again!

The Inevitable Blast! by Martin183 2022-04-05T21:17:54Z

Simple and fun, brings me back to some real old school game & watch classics! I'm happy with my 358 seconds! What's your high score? :)

One suggestion: It would've been nice with a sound effect when a fire is extinguished!

Well done!

Tactical Ghosts: The Impification by SnowyCocoon 2022-04-05T12:43:11Z

Some true professionalism shining through in the art here. Color palette, tileset & characters are incredibly well designed & put together.

Additional praise to the design choice of not having to wait for an animation to end before the next move is allowed. It provides some very smooth-yet-snappy movement.

I didn't get the timer though, it seemed pretty random? I swear i lost sometimes with timer left in the 300s.

One of my top picks so far, well done!

Energy tower defence by John llyod Apolo 2022-04-06T17:18:43Z

Who doesn't like a tower defence? Fun while it lasted. I didn't see any bugs, and the controls were very straightforward. I like that you could place the turrets without having to actually go to the construction place.

Different turret types and/or upgradeable weapon would've been great!

Well done, thanks for creating it!

Like a Boss by NBumgardner 2022-04-05T14:25:20Z

Good start! Love the sprites, very cute.

IMO the biggest issue is the grid movement. Allowing free movement WASD + aiming/attacking with the mouse would've been fun IMO - but then it would of course lose some of its unique flavor. :)

Good job!

ShadowScape by nohac 2022-04-05T13:11:24Z

Comfy! I'm impressed you managed to get the RTS "base building" mechanics working well. Lighting up darkness with torches is a great idea.

I could totally see myself playing this longer, just wish there was more to build, or if there was some kind of goal in sight. Overall, very well done!

CryptoHunk Market Platform by jabsatz 2022-04-05T11:47:17Z

First game to make me laugh out loud. Several times.

Love the fact that liking or disliking social media posts affects portfolio value. Or do they? Either way, I love it. The fact that I don't know if there's anything I can do to affect the value just makes it even more striking and funny. 10/10.

Music fits weirdly perfectly.

My only gripes: - I wish there was a faster way to buy/sell with buttons instead of having to type with the keyboard - I wish the UI scaled better, there's lots of empty space yet text is super small.

Overall, very nicely done!

Granting Immortality by BluishGreenPro 2022-04-05T20:55:45Z

Ooooh I love me some introspection in my video games. I also particularly enjoy that you didn't judge the players' morals with a gameplay reward or punishment.

In addition, nice music, sound and spritework (especially the main character looks fabulous).

Overall, great work, made even more impressed by the fact that you're a single-person team.

The Fire Will Die by PolymathLD 2022-04-06T17:49:44Z

Spectacular entry. One of my favorites so far. Love the art, and the sound & music is on point. Controls are smooth. Length is perfect, actually. In the end, however, the *story* has to be the star of the show in a game like this... and you deliver wonderfully. I truly grew fond of the characters and cared about their stories.

I agree you should keep working on it. If you got this far in 72 hours, you definitely have it in you to make something truly spectacular. Great work.

Catharsis by nevyn 2022-04-06T10:47:08Z

Wow. The art is gorgeous, and can only really be appreciated to its fullest in a VR environment.

It's also cool to see explorations of some neat stuff like proximity triggers and changing the world where the player isn't currently looking at it. These things have already been done in 3d games before, of course, but they feel fresh, since VR really adds a new dimension to them.

Great ambiance & music, too. Well done.

Choboro by DaivyIsHere 2022-04-06T22:06:03Z

Very well-polished. Great art. Comfy typography and UI layout. Excellent entry, thanks for creating!

Nightwaker by Bottled up Dark Peace 2022-04-05T20:49:01Z

Interesting concept - Limbo meets Typing of the Dead. Quite satisfying! Visuals are absolutely gorgeous, obviously some great talent on the team. Sound and storytelling was also impressive, adding to the eerie theme.

The only major gripe is the lack of feedback when dying - it would've been nice with a visual and/or sound effect.

Bravo, thanks to everyone involved in making this. Well done!

We All Die by ollie_d 2022-04-06T17:07:14Z

Yooo that was cooool! Interesting ideas for what looks like a simple arcade game. Would love to see this developed further. Bonus points for the dark humor on the final screen! ;)

Great job, thanks for creating!
