LD42 — Running out of space

Bag of Devouring by Ilseroth 2018-08-13T03:24:39Z

I had a lot of fun with this Path of Exile simulator! All jokes aside, really good take on the theme and quite fun. Awesome art too.

Factory Panic by ZpeedTube 2018-08-14T01:15:27Z

Pretty good basic concept, but introducing some more mechanics would make the gameplay more interesting.

Collapse by Willops 2018-08-13T01:55:16Z

Great job with the theme. The controls felt a little stiff to me and somewhat unreliable. Otherwise really fun concept!

Scaling Up by dalbinblue 2018-08-13T18:36:04Z

Excellent game. Gorgeous visuals, great sound, and fun gameplay.

Castle Custodian by ectucker1 2018-08-14T01:13:36Z

Decent bullet-hell style game. My only complaint is the fireball hitboxes seem a bit large. I was hitting walls when I thought I shouldn't be.

Shrunkeon Dungeon by DleanJeans 2018-08-27T14:00:07Z

Love the game! It's a little difficult, especially early on. I like the idea of the walls expanding on picking up health potions. Nice to see people using Godot as well!

Delivery! by maxr00 2018-08-13T01:59:07Z

I found myself laughing at the absurdity. Very funny take on the theme, I like it!

Void Knight vs PEST by Memel06 2018-08-13T02:02:19Z

I really love the art style. It's very surreal. Good take on the theme as well.

Alternating Space by StateOff 2018-08-13T03:31:42Z

Excellently executed puzzler. I felt engaged the whole time. Each level was a learning process. Also nice to see people using Godot!

MoodFood by DosWosh 2018-08-14T01:12:17Z

This game is excellent. You should really consider expanding this. I can easily see this being a game to play with a couple of friends; smashing through walls and tearing each other apart.

Graphics are great. Controls feel great. Theme is utilized in an interesting and unique way. And its FUN. Really nice job!

DeadShot by Incin 2018-08-13T18:20:46Z

Awesome take on the theme. Great graphics and fun gameplay. Nice job!

Pocket Pets by RustyMonky 2018-08-15T00:55:53Z

Neat little game! The art is well done and good sounds as well.

ShortServe by G4MR 2018-08-13T14:33:27Z

Great execution on the theme. Gameplay is challenging but not too difficult. It gets hectic as the plates fill up.

Cryptographer by Firebelley 2018-08-13T02:42:47Z

@incin Ahh thanks, I mis-prepared the linux build (I have no way to test linux). The updated link should work now. Thanks for checking out the game!

Cryptographer by Firebelley 2018-08-13T04:21:06Z

@dalbinblue Yes, there are a few levels that are by no means easy and do require precise movement. I have maybe hundreds of attempts throughout my playtesting and I still can't finish some of the levels without failing a few times. Thanks for playing!

Cryptographer by Firebelley 2018-08-13T13:19:50Z

@memel06 Thank you so much! I developed the game with C# for Godot and I don't believe HTML5 export is supported yet for the C# language. I would definitely post a web version if I could!

Cryptographer by Firebelley 2018-08-13T14:02:19Z

@snakemuho Thanks! Yes, the assets are from a game I am currently developing (http://tenaciousgame.com). Out of respect for the rules, I opted out of the graphics category because the graphical assets were made well before the jam.

Cryptographer by Firebelley 2018-08-14T13:39:59Z

@alien you might have to make it an executable file, sorry I don't have a Linux machine so it's tough for me to prepare the build correctly

Cryptographer by Firebelley 2018-08-17T18:54:25Z

@lumpy Thank you so much again for playing my game and other's on stream! It really helps with visibility. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Cryptographer by Firebelley 2018-08-29T14:01:29Z

@ursagames Thank you so much for playing it on stream! I really appreciate it.

Dystopia Tycoon by Hare Software 2018-08-13T21:27:06Z

This is a really fun tycoon game. The theme was executed well, careful planning is a must.

Alchemist's Apprentice by zachw136 2018-08-13T02:33:01Z

Hilarious game! The first time I broke a potion was quite enjoyable. Also, it has some of the best audio that I've seen for this jam.

Temple Trap - The Game! by Jasper Hansen 2018-08-13T18:23:58Z

Great gameplay, great art. Good exucution on the theme.

35 Seconds to Arrival by watdowtal 2018-08-14T01:21:49Z

I found it pretty difficult to dodge upcoming asteroids because there's not enough time to react between seeing the asteroid and it hitting you. I would consider moving the ship more towards the top of the screen so there's more time to notice and dodge the asteroids. Also, control instructions would be nice.

Halcyon Woods by PopDaddyGames 2018-08-14T01:02:49Z

I think this could have been much better if the actions were made quicker. I felt that it took to long to chop down trees and move the logs around. Also, I didn't really see anything that fit the theme.

The game looks gorgeous though. Even if the assets were bought, the world is put together beautifully.

Anxiety by TontonPizza 2018-08-13T02:36:38Z

Wow great job. Nailed the atmosphere. I almost felt myself getting anxiety. Definitely a unique take on the theme.

Verdurous Harmony by Buddaccio 2018-08-14T01:04:32Z

Graphics look nice but are a little distracting. I had a hard time separating the background from the enemies that I needed to kill. Gameplay was solid and the restricted movement area was a nice take on the theme.

Inventorium by Ramanujo 2018-08-13T01:51:24Z

I was pleasantly surprised to discover the wall mechanic. I really dig the risk/reward of shooting the bouncing balls. Great execution on the theme!

Butterfly Catching by felixnemis 2018-08-13T03:37:56Z

Cute little game! Interesting take on the theme as well

Zlinx by frontlinesaint 2018-08-13T03:20:47Z

Once I figured out there was like a triple jump I had a lot of fun with it. The shrinking levels make it really intense. Good execution on the theme.

Tomb Robbers 3: Curse of the Pharaoh by TheWustache 2018-08-25T16:51:01Z

Really well done! Some of the levels were quite challenging. Nice work!

Grave Heart by very dark lord 2018-08-14T01:17:37Z

This game is hilarious. Gameplay felt really good as well. I felt pretty frantic trying to get all the deceased to their almost-final resting places. Really great work!

The Junk's Games by Paulo Augusto 2018-08-14T01:10:05Z

Funny at first but really not much to the game. Performance drops severely after a few seconds.

WASH UR BALLZ by SteamPunkProgrammer 2018-08-14T01:24:31Z

Really clever take on the theme! It's a good amount of fun too. Nice job!

WASH UR BALLZ by SteamPunkProgrammer 2018-08-14T01:26:44Z

@cranestyle I couldn't get past 50s or so, tried a few times but just couldn't stay on top of all the red!

Melting Ice (Running out of penguins) by Leetchi 2018-08-14T01:06:01Z

Good graphics, but the penguins were hard to guide away from danger. Solid execution on the theme.

Cat Cat Attack! by naver 2018-08-14T01:05:08Z

I was laughing at the litter boxes overflowing with cat poo. Funny game!

wat do? by nikki93 2018-08-13T02:48:34Z

I don't have the dependencies to run. Is is possible to build a standalone windows exe?

wat do? by nikki93 2018-08-13T03:09:09Z

@nikki93 Works great for me now, thank you! It's fun. It's challenging but not too much so and has pretty unique mechanics.

Little Rocket by Page 2018-08-13T02:08:45Z

Controls don't feel that good. Otherwise seems like a decent take on an asteroids-style game. Multiplayer sounds like it would be fun but I have no one to play with atm

LD46 — Keep it alive

Abiogenesis by radmars 2020-04-25T01:13:36Z

Audio and art were fantastic! Mood was great too. I found the gameplay to be a little difficult and it wasn't immediately clear to me how to control the vine growth. Overall great entry

Desert Decryptor by homeworld 2020-04-22T21:42:09Z

Absolutely love the visuals! Though I was thoroughly confused about what I was supposed to be doing in the game. I didn't feel as if I had enough direction to engage with the game properly, which is a shame because I really wanted to get deeper into it.

Egg Hero by Firebelley 2020-04-22T23:09:30Z

@mateusboga Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment and link the VOD! Definitely appreciate you playing it on stream! The difficulty is definitely overtuned, so you're not alone in that opinion. Thanks again!

Hop to it by Owen Rees 2020-04-21T21:50:01Z

Overall really cute game. Loved the mood and the art. I think the menus could have been easier to read and use, considering that's a big part of the game. But otherwise I liked it!

El BurritΓ³n by JakNak72 2020-04-21T01:43:31Z

I this is a great concept. It definitely has potential to be a fun and challenging game. One thing you may want to consider is creating an easier level to start, to ease the player into the mechanics. I found it pretty jarring to have to figure out how to play the game on the spot. I definitely found some fun and hectic parts in trying to prepare the order, so I think there's great potential in this idea.

Moo Problems 2021 by owl and jackalope 2020-04-23T02:00:50Z

Really cool game! Definitely had fun with this one. My only major critique is I felt that the music didn't really fit, but otherwise I enjoyed it! Definitely consider developing this more.

Jack's Star Destroyer by TheAxe316 2020-04-21T03:29:34Z

I love the art in this game! I think the game itself is a little bit difficult though. I would consider tuning down the difficulty and giving the player more power earlier. Overall good concept!

The Last Humans by FumiKnight 2020-04-21T21:42:20Z

This is a great looking game! I couldn't honestly figure out what I was supposed to do though. I saw info about a sound radar but couldn't figure out how to activate it.

I definitely think you have a cool idea here!

Lost Souls by Raineii 2020-04-21T21:46:14Z

Great mood and art! I wasn't entirely clear what I was supposed to do, but I enjoyed my time with it! The shadow-beast things were really neat. I liked how they stayed away from the light.

Resquack by SorgardTeam 2020-04-21T02:30:16Z

This game was really adorable! I liked the humor in it and the art is really good. There were a few issues I encountered:

After rescuing the ducklings sometimes the game wouldn't advance to the next level. When I clocked back to main menu, and then attempted to start again, the level transition black circle took forever to grow and blocked me from starting again.

Overall really cute and an interesting take on frogger-style games!

Pass it On by Ryan Jung 2020-04-21T02:04:12Z

I really enjoyed the innovative idea behind this game. It really made me think about what I was doing and how I was rephrasing the message. I do think it needs a little tweaking though, some messages were downright impossible to decode. Overall I really enjoyed my time with this and it's definitely a unique idea!

To Thine Own Heart Feed Blood by civilianzero 2020-04-22T21:35:35Z

I liked the art and the mood in this game, but I think it was a little difficult to see the player character sometimes. Maybe consider adding a black outline to the character? Also, I am on a high-res monitor and the game window was a little small.

Great job with the sounds and the aesthetic overall though!

LD47 — Stuck in a loop

DEATH STRING by miziziziz 2020-10-06T00:03:29Z

Hi @miziziziz! First off I wanted to say that I love your Godot content. You've been a big inspiration for me to start upping my efforts to get my own YouTube channel growing.

I loved the game. The mechanic was original and it was very satisfying to get a bunch of enemies in a loop and destroy them all. Audio and visuals were great.

I will say the loop mechanic felt a little out of my control at times. I think it might be worth looking at ways to tighten that up even further. But overall it wasn't difficult to use effectively.

Awesome work, I enjoyed it a lot!

RevolveWare by Fatsheep 2020-10-07T02:50:29Z

Brilliant little game! I love the aesthetic and it's surprisingly challenging, but in a way that kept me engaged for quite a while. Can't really say much more than that, awesome work!

Trapped On Track by Mads 2020-10-06T01:31:40Z

This is a really great game with an awesome core mechanic. I had a lot of fun managing the railway. The biggest thing that could be improved is the track placement, I found it really difficult to get the rails built sometimes.

Other than that minor thing, this game is a blast. Awesome work!

Stuck in a Hoop by Tunahead 2020-10-07T02:26:17Z

Solid game! The level design was definitely the strongest point. The controls felt a bit floaty unfortunately so it was hard to navigate at times.

Loop-E-Mart by jvolonte 2020-10-06T02:34:58Z

This was an enjoyable management/sim game. I think you could explore adding ways for the player to interact with the store while the loop is running.

Flying Saucer Scramble by Reef 2020-10-06T01:18:12Z

Really cool idea and well executed! The controls were a little unintuitive at times, but generally good overall!

Hyperspace Slingshot by AllBetsAreOff 2020-10-06T00:54:55Z

It was a little difficult to get used to the controls, perhaps they could be a little more responsive? In any case, once I got the hang of it I had a good amount of fun. Nice work!

Hell Glider by TheAxe316 2020-10-07T22:39:53Z

I have to admit, I was kind of disappointed with the controls and how floaty they felt at first. And then I got the grapple and WOW what a difference. That grapple feels so nice, and the midair floaty controls felt really good in combination with the grapple. I think maybe you should have led with the grapple to start.

Art is great as well. Really nice work!

Chronos Time Warp by Zliebowitz 2020-10-07T02:30:33Z

I enjoyed the time I spent playing this! I think the controls were a little sluggish, I would have enjoyed faster player speed.

Among Stars and Robots by jaoel 2020-10-07T02:55:39Z

Stellar art, great mechanic and adherence to the theme, and lots of fun as well! I will say the spike in difficulty after the initial levels was quite jarring, I would have liked more "easy" introductory levels to really figured out what I was doing. But that was a relatively minor thing, I loved the game overall!

GUNRAIL by Sisyphean Games 2020-10-06T02:24:37Z

Love the idea! Executed well too. Nice work!

Inter-Dimensional Monster Jumper by EvilScotsman 2020-10-06T01:56:08Z

This was a phenomenal game! My main issue was that it was too short!

Minor things: - Movement felt a little floaty, accelerating and decelerating felt sluggish. I would consider tightening up the controls - Play around with adding juice to the shooting to make the guns feel more impactful

You definitely have a great concept here, I would encourage to keep working on it!

Devoured by St1ckY 2020-10-06T01:14:34Z

This was a really interesting story with great visuals! I enjoyed it a lot.

Ghost Cubed by Patrick1 2020-10-06T02:12:39Z

Solid mechanic and executed well. I think the controls could be a little more fluid. Overall great game!

Stuck in The Loop by EOShadows 2020-10-06T01:01:36Z

I spent a bit trying to figure out the game, but it was really unclear what I was supposed to be doing. I loved the visuals and the mood though!

Frying Donut by fachscahfttf 2020-10-06T00:49:01Z

This gam is hilarious! I had lots of difficulties finding weapons though, I don't know if it was a bug or not.

Definitely an original idea and fun to play! Nice work!

Overcoming by Archock34 2020-10-06T00:39:55Z

This game had a really nice atmosphere. It felt tense at times. I'm a little confused about the story that's presented, but maybe that's left for interpretation.

It was a fun experience!

Gold Looper by Galse87 2020-10-07T02:36:50Z

This game definitely has potential, and there a few small things you can do to make it feel loads better without changing much: - Make the player hitbox smaller - Make the enemy hitboxes bigger - Make the terrain collision match the visuals

The juicy camera shake was great, and I enjoyed slaying enemies. Controls felt pretty good as well!

Clockmaker by Tristan Mansfield 2020-10-06T01:41:30Z

This game was great! Really solid mechanic and challenging puzzles. I definitely think the difficulty ramped up too fast, consider adding a few more introductory levels to get the player acclimated to the feel and mechanics.

Really great work!

Phase Distorter Disorder by this-is-beans 2020-10-06T00:16:49Z

The art of this game was great. I liked the premise as well, but I think I encountered a bug where the items were no longer spawning. I found 2 on my first try but wasn't able to find any others. I also think the level was far too large, it was easy to get lost.

I think with a smaller level, and with the bugs fixed, you'd have an excellent little game!

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Rock Monster by Myko 2021-04-25T22:49:40Z

Absolutely fantastic! So happy to say that I beat the game. The art was great, game feel was great, and the mechanics worked perfectly together. Great job!

Deepeth Woods by colapolka 2021-04-27T00:08:27Z

Really charming game! Love the artstyle! Combat felt pretty forgiving except in the case of the snails. I felt like I could never get into the right spot to kill them.

But super fun idea, I had a great time playing!

Endoparasitic by miziziziz 2021-04-26T00:21:12Z

Everything about this was amazing. I loved how restricting all the controls to the mouse sort of felt like being one-handed. Reloading was stressful in certain encounters, which is good. Great game!

Deepest Sword by Strega 2021-04-27T22:54:33Z

This game is fantastic. Well done!

Deep Asleep by Sestren 2021-04-28T23:10:38Z

You hooked me with the exploration. I had a great time wandering around and interacting with the characters. The writing was really good as well.

A minor critique is that the art was a little noisy. I had a hard time seeing my character and the shifting background patterns was kind of jarring. I wonder if it would be easier to look at with flat colors for the grass and other backgrounds?

Regardless, really nicely done! I had a great time playing.

Leaky Faucet by Astavie 2021-04-26T22:18:09Z

That was really cool! It was a really immersive experience. I had a blast digging into the site and figuring out what was going on. Nice work!

Moley Maze by tigerj 2021-04-29T00:27:51Z

The gameplay is pretty simple but it kept me engaged for quite a while. You've got simple mechanics that are executed well. Solid work!

Monster journal: a short story by Fenderbate 2021-04-26T02:38:02Z

It's a fun game but I think it was a tad too challenging, I gave it a couple tries but wasn't able to complete it.

I love the graphics. Clean and beautiful! Overall really nice work.

Magic Frontier by Firebelley 2021-04-27T12:58:05Z

@pijamar Yes it is made in Godot, with C#! Source code is available in the links above 😁

Katabasis by HowlingShame 2021-04-25T23:29:39Z

Really fantastic game. Controls felt good, it was just the right amount of challenge, and dying was hilarious. I like how there is a little bit of forgiveness when hitting obstacles via the dismemberment system.

I loved it, really great work!

RRRR U Scared ? by Chalivat Quentin 2021-04-25T23:10:33Z

Great game, loved it. Controls felt a little awkward being mapped to Q and D for turning on keyboard. But overall I loved the concept and the combat was really fun.

Clockwork Abyss by Alexascher 2021-04-29T19:56:39Z

Wow gorgeous game! Really fun too. I think it's neat how you paused the game when hovering over the upgrades. It's such a small thing but it really keeps the game flowing well and gives the player time to think about upgrades.

Great work!

Eggsplosion by Gargantus 2021-04-27T22:15:52Z

Brilliant idea! Really clever and fun. I think the movement felt a little awkward at times because of the fact there could only be one bomb at a time. So if I missed a ledge, I was almost guaranteed to take damage because the bomb took some time to hit some terrain somewhere else. I would maybe consider allowing the player to spam bombs and see how that works out.

But like I said it's a really clever idea and super fun overall!

Death Cult by TentacleMax 2021-04-27T00:02:38Z

Really nice concept. I think it could have an easier difficulty curve. It would have been nice to have an easy first few levels to get the hang of the game.

Otherwise nice work!

Last penny by Advarsky 2021-04-27T00:12:03Z

Great looking game! The intro cinematic was amazing as well. Gameplay was interesting - I like how you introduced all kinds of different hazards. The one critique I have is that the movement felt really slow. I think if you speed it up a bit it would be more comfortable to play. Nice work overall!

Sewer's Plague : Into the nest by Nicolas Revillon 2021-04-26T23:55:48Z

Graphics, innovation, and theme were all top-notch in this one! The gameplay was engaging and the mechanics worked well together. The only thing really that's missing is some juicy audio and screenshake for explosions. That alone would add a lot to the game.

Overall really great though! I'm glad I played this!

Nadiria by ArguablyArugula 2021-04-28T23:15:33Z

I agree with the feedback that the levels could have been condensed quite a bit. Travelling through empty space without anything to interact with is not super engaging. But the parts that were populated with enemies and spikes were fun to go through. Solid work overall!

Bones & Guns Elevator runs by Maybeagoose 2021-04-26T23:51:48Z

Pretty good! Sometimes the shooting felt finicky though. I would recommend making that a little tighter/juicy. That would add a lot to the game.

Shotgun Viking (LD48) by Roikku 2021-04-26T21:51:14Z

Really good! Loved the art. Controls were tight. I did feel like the difficulty spiked a little bit. Also, I think the shooting could have used lots of juice to make the shooting really satisfying.

But overall really solid!

Granny Goes Deep by universeflow 2021-04-26T21:24:32Z

The controls feel really tight. I think maybe there could have been more of a grace period between pressing spacebar and landing. It was a little difficult to time correctly.

Otherwise solid work!

Into the Abyss by oeschmid 2021-04-25T23:42:00Z

Really nice puzzler with great mechanics. Nice work!

Edward Driller Hands by SyndaKai 2021-04-27T01:58:12Z

Awesome game! Looks nice and plays great. Not much more to say than that!

Soya Jodugari by GentleMelon01 2021-04-26T21:56:43Z

Pretty good for a first LD jam! I have a couple of easy-to-address critiques: - W is awkward as a jump button, consider using the more traditional spacebar instead - If you don't want the console to appear on game launch, uncheck the debug option when exporting the game - Slightly increase the fire rate. It felt pretty stiff because of the slow fire rate

Congrats on completing your first LD jam!

Abisal by itssoisi 2021-04-27T22:33:46Z

Really well done! Art was great, gameplay was simple but effective and engaging. Great work!

LD49 — Unstable

The Balancing of Hill House by yupasama 2021-10-04T23:32:21Z

Really interesting concept! Could use some polishing elements and audio but solid for what it is.

Eudora by EdevJogos 2021-10-05T01:31:00Z

Art, audio, and gameplay are all top-notch. My one tiny critique is that I would have liked a player with a little less side in the movement, it felt a little slippery up on the ship. But beside that, I thought everything was extremely well-done.

Overtotem by Nyunesu 2021-10-05T00:57:52Z

Pretty fun! Felt really chunky and kept me engaged for quite a while. The only critique I have is that I didn't really see the theme used much but that's fine, it still turned out great!

Haywire by Firebelley 2021-10-04T23:42:48Z

@tiar Thanks, glad to hear you like it! I will look into adding a web build, this was a complete oversight on my part!

Haywire by Firebelley 2021-10-07T15:35:32Z

@saintheiser that's a bit rude, isn't it? Learn how to provide polite critique before commenting.

Instability Verse by Stroe Andrew 2021-10-05T23:20:53Z

Art and audio are top-notch! Gameplay-wise, it took me some time to figure out what was going on. I also think the fast-moving option should be default. But once I got the hang of it the game was engaging. Nice work!

Super Quakster by Jared York 2021-10-05T02:25:18Z

Pretty solid! I did find a bug which I exploited, holding space and moving upward causes you to shoot up the screen. The other thing is that I think the screen shake is too intense, I lost track of the character whenever that happened. Otherwise good entry!

Captain Dinohater by Kartik Kini 2021-10-06T01:11:28Z

Wow this is a phenomenal game! Felt really great to play. Definitely one of the best games I've played yet. Really good work!

The Three Goblin Problem by pfs 2021-10-04T23:22:34Z

Ha serious QWOP vibes with this one! Super funny, but also really difficult. Art was fantastic. Great entry overall!

Go Hard! by bernard-bumblebutt 2021-10-05T01:14:54Z

Really fun! Art and sound is great and the leaderboard system is super cool. I should mention, I was investigating the leaderboard system and inadvertently set a ridiculously high score for "Lionhearted Hippopotamus". I hope you can remove it because I feel bad.

In any case, really nice work! I had a lot of fun with this one πŸ˜€

Trenchrunner by curleysam 2021-10-04T22:33:59Z

Phenomenal entry! I liked how you had to be selective with your shots to make it through the levels successfully. The art is great and the game looks awesome generally. Sound and music are good as well.

There's nothing much else to say other than great job! I had a lot of fun playing this!

Super Mutant Horse by cannashblue 2021-10-05T17:16:32Z

Solid entry! My only critique is that the horse was pretty hard to control - but perhaps that was part of the unstable theme?

Lightning Ball Rampage by neputevshina 2021-10-04T23:04:20Z

This is a good entry. There are a couple of critiques I would offer: - I understand what you're trying to go for with the shaking of the ball as you move, but it gave a feeling that I didn't have control over it. - The score system isn't really a fun thing for me personally, I'd be interested to see a game like this that forces you to hit all the appliances. I found myself just going straight to the end every level and ignoring the other objectives. - Consider using a different set of keys for controlling the menus, I found that when I lost I would inadvertently skip a menu because my movement keys are the same keys that advance the menus

Bermuda Night Fever by Drat 2021-10-04T23:11:31Z

Pretty fun little game! One thing I would say is that I didn't really see a lot of the theme here, but otherwise solid and pretty engaging.

Snek Left by Martin Magni 2021-10-07T17:05:35Z

Really fantastic game! Great presentation and lots of UI juice - I got hooked on just playing level after level. My only very minor complaint is that I think the snake shouldn't start moving until the player provides input, sometimes I was unprepared and would fail the level immediately.

Otherwise really outstanding game!

A Spelling Error by Naymsayk 2021-10-05T17:23:26Z

Pretty interesting! I agree with the others that it was difficult to understand what was going on at first, and doesn't seem to relate to the them much. I really liked the voice, I don't know if it was your own voice or a computer generated voice but it worked really well nonetheless.

Castle of Chaos by almightyzentaco 2021-10-06T01:32:40Z

Voice acting and art were great! Was a lot of fun. My only critique is that the platformer movement was really floaty and could have been tightened up a bit. Really well done overall though!

Castle of Chaos by almightyzentaco 2021-10-06T01:47:30Z

@almightyzentaco Yeah gravity increase would be good and a quicker deceleration when the player stops moving - I think those two things would really be a good improvement

Randomazer by Plotnikov Ilya 2021-10-05T21:19:47Z

The presentation of this game is amazing! Love the interconnected menus and how you are thrust right into it.

The main critique I would offer is that the platforming felt pretty floaty - I think if it was tightened up a bit you'd see a very nice improvement.

Overall really solid, I enjoyed it!

LD51 — Every 10 seconds

Careful Caverns by Josh6680 2022-10-03T23:19:33Z

Really cool interpretation of the theme and great atmosphere! However, the lack of checkpoints was really morale crushing. More forgiving checkpoints would be great. But I enjoyed it overall!

Gigabite by CocaPasteque 2022-10-03T18:15:19Z

Really nice game! Art and sounds were great. Gameplay felt perfect too. It scaled up in difficulty at just the right way.

One thing was that sometimes it felt a bit hard to click the food items, perhaps making the items bigger or making the clickable area bigger would have made it feel just a bit better.

Great overall!

Junkyard Space Race by BoxedMeatRevolution 2022-10-04T22:51:51Z

Artwork is fantastic! Gameplay is also very interesting. Sold all around!

Harvest Golem by NotExplosive 2022-10-05T20:31:17Z

Awesome game, liked it a lot! The fusion of farming and collectible card game was pretty compelling. Definitely consider continuing work on this one!

Sheeple by Jonathan Holm 2022-10-03T17:57:12Z

Beautiful game and nice crunchy effects! Was very entertaining to experience the first two loops. However, I'm not certain if I am missing something or if it just keeps looping. Nonetheless it was a fun experience. Nice work!

Zombie Rush 3: Escalation by BytingGames 2022-10-04T23:05:08Z

Awesome game! Felt amazing to play. Nice work!

Dodge48 by thesnide 2022-10-07T12:53:00Z

The decision to make the player with the least number of balls get the points is brilliant! It incentivizes absolute chaos, which is exactly what you want in this kind of local multiplayer game. Unfortunately I had no one to play with but I can definitely see how this would be a ton of fun with a friend. Nice work!

Critt-ical Paths by UntitledQ 2022-10-03T23:27:23Z

This game was awesome! One of my favorites this jam. Beautiful art, good execution, and a nice take on the theme. Also cool to see someone using Typescript and Parcel in a jam!

My only very minor critique is that failure conditions perhaps should have been more forgiving. Needing to restart after making only one mistake was a bit disappointing.

Loved the game overall though, really nice work!

Smack Demon by Firebelley 2022-10-04T13:34:14Z

@benthetwoofus thanks so much! Also thank you to everyone else leaving comments - I don't have the ability to respond to all but I do read all of them and I greatly appreciate it 😁

To answer your question @benthetwoofus I've been developing in Godot for several years now, and I've built up a library of scenes, addons, sfx, and utilities that allow me to rapidly build new games without too much boilerplate code. You can check out the source code to see how I'm doing that. When I'm making a jam game, the vast majority of my time can therefore be spent on the elements that are particular to that game. My experience with Godot also means that I generally know how to build a game in the most efficient way possible given the time constraint. So, in essence, I've just had a lot of practice πŸ™‚ Hope that answers your question! Thanks again!

Gagaku by LoicLeGrosFrere 2022-10-04T23:13:46Z

Wow! This is a very intriguing game. I absolutely love the idea of placing "towers" that are designed to empower your only shot. You could build a lot of interesting chains. I think the theme was a bit shoe-horned into this idea, but it works. I definitely think the shooting could have more "oomph" to it as well.

I would highly encourage you to keep iterating on this idea, I think you have something special!

Hocus Poquest by Miyolophone 2022-10-04T23:33:30Z

This was a fantastic game! Super fun, loved the in-game quests that rotated in and out. Weapon upgrades were interesting and fun to see. Very nice job overall! My only minor complaint is that I wish I could have minimized the quest display since sometimes it obscured enemies. But, that's minor. The game is wonderful!

Elementary Defence! by Paulsams 2022-10-05T02:31:03Z

Beautiful art and a really original tower defense concept. I really enjoyed it, nice work!

SplatterCars by itsatony 2022-10-03T23:22:08Z

Awesome idea! Love the take on the theme and feels like a nice innovation on the classic Tron game. Nice work!

Chicken Golem! by T C 2022-10-03T23:31:33Z

Neat game! I liked the interpretation of the theme. Player controls felt great too. Nice work!

Opening Knight by GERD 2022-10-05T02:40:07Z

Really nice game, I enjoyed it quite a lot. Good work!

Empty Hands by craftmuch 2022-10-04T23:08:51Z

Nice art and entertaining gameplay. I could not for the life of me beat the "dig" mini game though, because it seemed like I was unable to dig the patch on the right. Neat game overall!

Kangaroo Court by Celtican 2022-10-05T02:20:05Z

What an amazing game! Kept me completely entertained all the way to the end. Great art, great writing, and the mechanic was super stressful in a good way. Amazing job, you all should be proud of what you created!

Clocksmith Exorcist by karlestonchew 2022-10-05T21:57:09Z

Very cool concept! Art was beautiful as well. I think if you continue work on this, the biggest things you could add are SFX and screen shake. That would add a lot to the feel of the combat. Enjoyable game overall!

Decrypt by Gabriel Chan 2022-10-03T23:37:11Z

Very fun word puzzle game! Awesome job!

Area 51: Bunny Sanctuary by AmberFall92 2022-10-04T18:17:56Z

Very enjoyable game!

DodgeBall DeathJam by Ashgramor 2022-10-03T17:51:42Z

Very nice for a first time entry! I would say you could have ramped up the difficulty a bit faster, dodging the balls for the first few minutes was relatively trivial. Better to err on the side of too easy rather than too hard though, so it's not a big deal. Nice work!

Exp10sion by lynnezzzy 2022-10-04T22:47:17Z

Really nice puzzle game! Felt pretty good generally, but there are a couple of things I think you could do to make it really shine: 1. Don't start the timer until I start moving, so I have some time to figure out what I need to do 2. Add a restart button so I don't have to wait for the timer if I need to redo my solution

Those are very minor things, overall the game was great!

Reload by dod108 2022-10-05T20:27:02Z

Very fun! Made it to 300m. Nice job!

Helloween Survivors by MerlinPerlin 2022-10-04T22:57:30Z

Nicely executed survivors-style game! I think the game probably should have been paused when the upgrades appeared so I had some time to make a decision, but otherwise I had fun with this one.

Time Isn't Real by Brandon McDonald 2022-10-03T23:13:46Z

Very cool! I liked your take on the theme. I think you could have made the player movement much faster, as a player it was kind of tedious to move around.

Sokobyo by Roroto Sic 2022-10-06T00:52:29Z

Art was great, gameplay was nice as well. Solid all around.

BTW I had the same error with embedding my Godot game onto this site, so don't worry about the error!

Graveyard Scramble by pauly3d 2022-10-05T02:06:16Z

I really liked the aesthetic and sounds in this one. It took me a while to figure out how to shoot, and I think needing to survive 10 minutes is a bit too long - especially with the relatively unforgiving failure condition. But overall, was an enjoyable game. Nice work!

LD53 — Delivery

Sailing Venus by Neon 2023-05-01T14:46:36Z

Very neat concept! I like the idea of being focused entirely on the ship and its management while achieving certain goals. Definitely has the makings of a cool logistics management game.

I understand you wrote this basically from scratch, which is impressive.

Animal Ferry by Tony Li 2023-05-02T17:04:19Z

Amazing puzzle game! So clever in the different mechanics and it's surprisingly challenging in a good way.

The Snack Shack by Sarah 2023-05-04T00:00:45Z

Wow that was a hectic game, I was so stressed even on easy mode πŸ˜… But that's not a bad thing! This was a very engaging game, which felt good to play. The menus were a bit confusing at first but I quickly got the hang of it. The art is great. The music is pleasant, which was a nice contrast to the hectic nature of the game. Awesome work overall, I really enjoyed it!

RUCHKI by katamary 2023-05-01T19:22:53Z

This is an awesome game! It looks great and the concept is really fun. The difficulty spiked a little too hard imo, would have liked a gentler introduction to the mechanics and a lowering of the difficulty overall. But I really enjoyed it nonetheless!

Caretaker of the Scrap-Valley by fusionnist 2023-05-01T15:32:59Z

Awesome game! The art, presentation, the feeling of exploration, inventory management, are all super fun. I was really curious to explore the game and kept being surprised at the things I could craft. Really well done!

Messenger Boy by alec 2023-05-03T01:54:28Z

Really great game! The art is fantastic, it's got an intriguing story, the different mini games were engaging and I felt the time pressure even though it seems there was no timer. Excellent all around, great work!

Package Panik by Gerolmed 2023-05-02T01:33:42Z

Beautiful game, really nicely put together and fun to play! It took me a bit to figure everything out, but I mostly got it. Ended up unlocking all zones. The one thing I couldn't figure out was how to get the drones to work. I think I was missing something. Regardless, this was an awesome game and I had a lot of fun with it!

Delivery Under the Influence: 1925 Edition by Carraka 2023-05-02T21:06:29Z

Great game! The art and humor are on point on this one, and the gameplay was fun and engaging as well. Nice work!

Derry by Rakowu 2023-05-01T14:40:45Z

Beautiful game, I love the character and the mood.

I think the gameplay could have been simplified a bit. There didn't seem to be a need to be careful with how I was spending seeds and water, I just loaded up on 100 of each. I think you probably could have given the player unlimited of both, and just really hone the platforming mechanics. Or, you could have honed the need to be really careful with how you're spending seeds and water by limiting how much of each you can carry.

It was a nice experience overall, I enjoyed it!

Dingsi by maxi1324 2023-05-04T00:49:59Z

Very neat little game! It was a lot of fun to run and jump around and the aesthetic was quirky and charming at the same time. The music got somewhat annoying after a while. Really solid entry overall, nice work!

Deliverance : SOUL REAPER by Nick Baggett 2023-05-02T19:58:06Z

I loved this game! It had a really nice aesthetic, and you nailed the game feel. It felt great to play. Awesome work!

Planet Quest by Corporation 2023-05-01T15:26:48Z

Really fun overall, love the concept of delivering various buildings and having to manage the delivery time and cost carefully. I do have a couple of minor points of feedback:

- It seems turrets are incapable of killing an enemy without taking damage. This didn't feel great as a player, but I understand if this was a gameplay decision - I couldn't figure out if there was a way to cancel a building once I clicked on it. It would be nice if this was a feature. - It was not obvious at first that dropping new buildings on existing buildings would destroy them. This caused me to accidentally set myself back quite a bit.

Overall I had a lot of fun with this! Love the concept, felt like the right level of difficulty, and the art is awesome. Excellent work!

A Blacksmith's Gift by Kassie Kitsune 2023-05-03T02:07:58Z

Very cool concept and fun gameplay, nice work!

Deliver Them From Sin by ugly_robot 2023-05-01T18:54:31Z

Very fun! Movement felt pretty good, and I like how you mixed in different mechanics. I liked it!

Deliverance by EpicGameFan 2023-05-01T19:10:42Z

Nice platformer! Had a good amount of fun with this. There was one part I got stuck on where I couldn't figure out how to proceed. But I had fun otherwise!

One thing I would suggest is to make the spikes hitboxes a little bit smaller - they felt a bit too unforgiving.

Nice work!

Mailville by the neon shark 2023-05-02T01:10:02Z

I didn't read the instructions and immediately started trying to slaughter the NPCs haha

This is a gorgeous game and it feels really good to play. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Devil's Corp by Neobit 2023-05-05T21:43:38Z

Awesome game overall! Looks and sounds really good. I will echo what some others have said here, which is that the art and sound is so high quality but the visual effects and game feel was somewhat lacking comparatively. I think this game would be perfect will just a little more attention given to those areas.

Excellent game overall though, very impressive entry. I had a lot of fun playing!

Hedge Hauler by trASSh 2023-05-02T16:43:33Z

Neat game! I liked your interpretation of the theme! I think the game could have been a little bit faster paced - it took me a while to make enough money for my second plant. I think it's solid overall!

Deliver Us From Evil by Tobius 2023-05-02T03:04:13Z

The art is beautiful! The concept is really good as well.

As a minor point, I found that sometimes the item I would give to the hero would land on top of the monster, and I couldn't recover from that.

Great entry overall!

Last Delivery by greenphox 2023-05-01T14:32:32Z

Nice game! Here are some of my thoughts: - It would have been nice if the first objective was a little bit easier. It took me a long time to figure out where to go - W/D support for moving would be nice for those of us that are used to that control scheme

I liked your take on the theme.

πŸš€β€Š Galactic delivery : Starvesters2D by z0rg 2023-05-02T01:06:29Z

Loved the concept! The art direction was awesome as well. I had fun with this one! Nice to encounter a fellow Godot C# user :)

The Skeleton Delivery Experience by Exilon 2023-05-01T19:41:59Z

Really fun "Getting Over It" style game! Took me a while to figure out the controls, but once I did I had a lot of fun. I didn't end up beating it because it is very difficult, but that's ok for this kind of game.

Can You Deliver a Baby in a Dungeon!? by flanne 2023-05-01T19:00:36Z

Amazingly fun game! I love it. I wish it was longer! Juice is on point, gameplay felt good, the art is beautiful.

Btw, do I see some Tiny Rogues influences here? I certainly got that impression, which isn't a bad thing at all.

Excellent work!

Wrong address by Allax 2023-05-02T16:53:25Z

Awesome game! Felt really good to play, and was lots of fun too. I do think it was a little bit difficult, I got stuck on the 3rd level and couldn't get past it. Excellent overall though!

Deliver The Torch by Follett12 2023-05-02T03:09:50Z

Loved the art and the presentation! The interpretation of the theme was unique as well. I would have liked the gameplay to have a little more depth, but this was a solid game nevertheless!

Western Fury by AlpalcaLad 2023-05-04T02:37:34Z

Fun game and neat concept! Had a lot of fun overall. I do think the enemy health was unnecessary, I think the game would have been just fine if you could instant-kill enemies. Great work!

Onboard Hell by Blublu 2023-05-01T19:32:38Z

Really fun game! I liked the concept and the art. Managing gravity and energy was a nice combination that kept the game engaging.

Dead-End Delivery by RobotChimp 2023-05-02T03:00:19Z

Amazing game! It's really fun to play, looks great, sounds great, and fits the theme perfectly. Well done! One of my favorite games so far!

Dear friend by hmrpf 2023-05-02T20:11:32Z

I did it! Screenshot 2023-05-02 161016.png

This was an all around excellent game. Gorgeous art and presentation, great take on the theme, smooth gameplay, and a challenge that was difficult but not unfair.

Tracks 'n Bandits: Haulin' Cargo by Terquey 2023-05-02T19:49:04Z

Really unique interpretation of the theme. Good gameplay as well. Solid overall! I did have one issue, I'm on a 1440p display and it seems like some elements aren't being rendered properly: Screenshot 2023-05-02 154616.png

Travelling salesman by Kr0meel 2023-05-02T00:58:44Z

Good take on the theme!

Punchline! by Federyee 2023-05-02T01:13:15Z

Very clever interpretation of the theme! Nice work!

LD55 — Summoning

IπŸ’°IπŸ’ŽIβš”οΈI by BoltKey 2024-04-17T02:08:21Z

Lots of depth to this game! It was a little painful trying to figure it out at first, I think an in-game tutorial could have greatly improved the experience. But once I got a handle on it I was enjoying myself.

The Game With Forced Financial Competitions Featuring Wizards and Demons by tater-hater 2024-04-17T01:49:54Z

I think that's first time I've played a racing game in a jam, and now I'm wondering why there aren't more racing games.

Druid Island by bwalter 2024-04-17T20:31:00Z

Awesome game! Had a lot of fun with it. The art is gorgeous and the movement felt really good. Excellent work!

The sumoner by CoffeeOwl 2024-04-15T20:12:52Z

Very nice! Had fun with this one :)

Necromancy Survivors by Gorr 2024-04-17T20:45:42Z

Great execution of the survivors genre. Kept me engaged for about 10 minutes but then I ran out of upgrades. I definitely had fun with this one!

Treant Wars by Tudvari 2024-04-15T21:30:42Z

Amazing game! I had so much fun. The mechanics were introduced at an appropriate pace and I found myself really getting into the rhythm of managing defense and resource generation. Excellent work!

Boiled Hell by Mortith 2024-04-18T21:12:39Z

Great game all around. It's based on a solid idea and executed very well. Not much to say other than excellent work!

Summing Circle by Rawb 2024-04-17T01:55:29Z

Amazing game! I felt like it was just the right balance of difficulty. The daily puzzles are super interesting too, I'm assuming those will be randomly generated based on the current date?

Definitely consider developing this one some more. So much fun even with the short experience available here.

The Wave Summoner by OnlinE_Play 2024-04-21T18:48:16Z

Neat concept! I think it was a little difficult at first. Also I experienced a bug the first time I played where there were no enemies on the map but I couldn't summon a wave.

Overall though a solid entry, well done!

Totem Breakout by denilseven 2024-04-18T21:04:53Z

Very cool concept, I had a lot of fun with this one!

Helldrivers by torte478 2024-04-17T01:59:26Z

What I played was enjoyable but the game could have definitely benefitted from a tutorial and gradual introduction of the mechanics. Still a good entry though!

Bone Caller by SlaQr 2024-04-18T21:08:12Z

Neat idea, and nice art and visuals. The mouse controls were a little over sensitive and I felt like the game was very difficult from the start. Pretty fun overall though!

Flying Buttress by Jack728 2024-04-15T20:08:38Z

What I could see of the game was awesome, unfortunately I wasn't able to progress at all because I couldn't get used to the controls.

Court Summon by Xavier7 2024-04-21T18:55:18Z

Great looking game and good execution of the theme!

Imp Master by Owtuvammo 2024-04-15T21:22:08Z

Really fun game! Puzzles got me thinking but weren't overly hard. Nice work!
