LD42 — Running out of space

Sphere by Ntimi 2018-08-14T17:06:06Z

The art is very nice, but I think this game really needs some navigational cues, right now you just run until you die.

Polar Panic! At the Disco by PeachTreeOath 2018-08-14T06:23:11Z

@ceasar Sorry about that, we seem to have rare cases of this and we aren't sure what is causing it, could you give us a little info about your OS and internet connection?

Heirs Kingdom by Valter 2018-08-14T03:01:33Z

This is outstanding, so clever, and the little touches really sell it. I would however adjust the rotation values when building, cause I could never get my planks level from left to right when rotating and just had to drop it and hope it didn't knock anything over lol. Great game, you got all 5's from me, spectacular.

Heirs Kingdom by Valter 2018-08-14T03:09:31Z

Lol I just beat ya, got 55 years!

Heirs Kingdom by Valter 2018-08-14T06:31:16Z

@aevek lol holy crap! Well done! I know what you mean though, I was like, "I should check out some other games, but I'm having too much fun!"

Heirs Kingdom by Valter 2018-08-14T06:40:47Z

Sketch (8).png @aevek kneel before me! lmao

WeAreTheAntidote by Mowztouch 2018-08-14T03:51:59Z

Omg, this was an idea we had at the start but we went a different direction! lol That being said, some things you might want to address are listed below. 1. Capital was very buggy, several times I had negative value or NaN, and I could even still buy things. 2. The way you launch "projects" isn't explained very well, and it took me a bit to realize I needed to select and item to do anything. 3. The UI is VERY cluttered, I had a very hard time keeping track of what was going on and many things didn't even seem important, a less patient player would just quit and move on. Great Idea though!

Darklings by Sozey 2018-08-14T16:54:44Z

Interesting idea, I wish you could move a bit faster and some of the special mechanics were explained.

Collapsing Mines of LUMDOOM by Gus the Shark 2018-08-14T16:33:11Z

As everyone else has said, this is such a fantastic game, especially for the time you spent on it. The reversing mechanic really made me think about what I was doing, but it forces you to think quickly because of the falling blocks. Outstanding job!

Memory Exception by rvenson 2018-08-14T06:20:02Z

This is very well polished, I feel like you could have given some sort of sprint and a way to fend off the trojans however

Hello Ground by Kaiomoi 2018-08-14T16:21:39Z

This game is super hectic, but I also love that lol. Good entry

Big Crunch by LensFlare 2018-08-14T06:56:57Z

This is a beautiful game execution, and I do mean BEAUTIFUL (those graphics doe). The only note I have is the spawn points probably shouldn't be random, or if they are, at least move them inward based on the collapse line, because sometimes I would warp an spawn outside the line and died instantly, other than that this is a stellar entry. (Pun intended)

Final Wave TD by Danial 2018-08-14T04:17:44Z

As Rhys stated, this game could really do with a quick tutorial, but this is very good for your first shot at Unity. Nice interpretation of the theme too.

Light of Bacterium by Blurred Lines 2018-08-14T02:45:17Z

@blurred-lines thanks for fixing the link quickly, I was here a while ago and almost missed playing your game. The control scheme is very clever, challenging but when you master it it feels good. Like @luckydaisy I also had some heavy frame drops, mostly in the later levels, and I have pretty hefty internet. Good game :)

King of Bjorp by Colin Doody 2018-08-14T02:35:19Z

This was a great game concept, the only issue I had was similar to OrionDark7, it seemed like my key presses didn't immediately register, which led to some unfortunate losses lol. Another thing I would suggest is making the menu continue with an on screen button, the first time I played I didn't know who I was because the slow key registration made me kinda mash the enter button and I didn't see your otherwise well executed join menu.

Space Collapse by Steffanie 2018-08-14T03:20:42Z

Wow, the gravity really messed with my brain! lol So, I'm curious why you decided to have the ship fire in toward the sun, it didn't seem very intuitive that way and I was getting frustrated quite alot, otherwise, great game.

Space Collapse by Steffanie 2018-08-14T03:36:17Z

@jose-rodriguez Thanks for the explanation! And yes, it was crazy, most of our team had never done this before, but it was cool and so much fun!

LD44 — Your life is currency

Scooter Looter by bluescrn 2019-04-30T18:33:51Z

Good job, really well done. I would add something like a heat level for the cops.

Scooter Looter by bluescrn 2019-04-30T18:55:37Z

@lagman9000 yeah, that's what I was thinking, people just know immediately what that means these days

Coin-Op Kid by Strega 2019-04-30T17:02:41Z

This is honestly an amazing use of the theme. Also, everything felt so polished, the character was adorable, the animations were crisp and clean, and everytime I failed I felt like it was my fault not some bug getting in my way. I also really liked how well thought-out the puzzles were, I played to the end and was sad it was over. I would love to see you develop this more, great job!

99 Days To Earth by Shaolin Dave 2019-04-30T16:16:52Z

I (like @tommyflower) was very confused about what was going on at first, it was cool that you tried to make a cutscene, but maybe make it a little more clear. I actually think the ui was very easy to read, I pretty instantly knew what everything was. My only real confusion was how and when to use my items, I eventually figured it out, but that could use more explaining. Overall, not to bad.

99 Days To Earth by Shaolin Dave 2019-04-30T19:00:06Z

@shaolin-dave No problem, I get the time constraint, I always like to explain what I think people should add in case they decide to develop it after the jam :)

Age of Coin - Battle Stars: ULTRA by squirmonkey 2019-04-30T16:47:32Z

This is so fantastic! We actually came across a similar idea in our brainstorming, but you took it to a whole-nother level. The battle mechanic was very well thought-out and the tutorial helped me pick it up instantly. Then taking the idea of "coin collecting" and mashing it up with mario is the funniest damn thing ever. The only problem I ever had was I could never get the jumping off enemy heads to work right.

Sheep It by anstabo 2019-04-30T18:54:18Z

Very good game you got here. Love the graphics, but the camera gave me a headache over time, maybe make it less bouncy? I also experienced the AI issues that other people did, they got stuck on orbs and threw sheep into the street (that part was actually a rather amusing flaw). Overall, well done.

Blood Quest by shaner421 2019-04-30T16:34:04Z

Wow, overall a very nicely fleshed out game idea. I found what looked like you were going to make puzzles, but looks like it didn't come to fruition, which is fine. I also love that the enemies were full on bosses instead of little guys you could take out in one hit. I would explain the life mechanic a bit in game, one of my friends played and she didn't know why she died when she picked up an item. I would also have movement depend on direction, since that is a little odd at the moment. Otherwise, great game.

Blood Quest by shaner421 2019-04-30T18:57:09Z

@shaner421 Oh thanks, I'll have to take a second look, and I fully understand running out of time lol

Sacrifice by Dazzleisace 2019-04-30T21:30:47Z

Not bad for only working about a day and a half on it. There is something there, though it could be more fleshed out.

Shooter on a Budget by Christopher Wong 2019-04-30T17:21:58Z

Such a fun twin stick shooter. The concept is a very direct extension of the theme, but it's super fun, so I love it. The transaction record on the side was very amusing. In the future, don't make things that hurt you so nice looking, lol I injured myself quite heavily on the orbs, I thought they would do something nice if I grabbed it.

Market Master by zactical 2019-04-30T17:11:56Z

Cool concept, very fast paced, I felt anxious the whole time, I just barely managed to earn enough for retirement. Surprised you did this all by yourself.

KNIFE=LIFE by QuadApe 2019-10-15T17:25:51Z

Unable to play on Mac, it tells me the application is damaged.

LD45 — Start with nothing

incandescence by drtizzle 2019-10-10T00:00:41Z

I'm not sure what this was, but I played it to the end and I feel satisfied.

Beet-hoven by jamioflan 2019-10-15T17:42:02Z

Ok, the subtle audio touches throughout this game are fantastic, took me a bit to understand what was happening but once I did I had so much fun.

Survivor Slots by PeachTreeOath 2019-10-08T00:30:06Z

Nice job! I love that this is super chill, but you gotta strategize. Also using slots to tell a story is something I haven't seen since I played slime slots in dragon quest. I definitely played this for like a half hour. The only thing I really wanted on this was some chill island music and some ambient island sounds, yeah that would make this so nice.

Metro Gang by invader 2019-10-15T17:14:33Z

I wasn't sure what the goal was, but I like the graphics, also I think I was beating up my own guys at one point?

Ahoy! by tiptoe 2019-10-15T16:32:08Z

This is such a fun little game, makes me think of a simplified raft simulator. As polished as this is, I could actually see it competing well on the mobile market.

The Idea Explorer by Sebastian-M 2019-10-15T17:57:30Z

I love how profound this is, also did you make the shader for this yourself? It's pretty awesome.

Small Mouse, BIG SHOES! by UnitedFailures 2019-10-10T16:09:51Z

Hoo boy, this was some kind of adventure. I did fall thorough the map during the boss fight though.

Better than nothing by Fictions 2019-10-07T07:18:20Z

Wow, the assets look great, though, I'm not sure what I was supposed to be doing. Was there an attack I was supposed to be doing to the enemies I fought?

Broke'n'Bad by Oune 2019-10-09T19:24:00Z

Neat little game, you definitely need a tooltip for the buttons though, I forgot immediately what everything did and just kind of pressed buttons randomly

Virus Jones by Bernardex 2019-10-15T16:42:47Z

Neat little game, I love the graphics and sound.

We've Got Nothing by Doey 2019-10-09T19:15:49Z

Easy to figure out controls, my only question is, is that huge jump possible? lol

Unstable Ground by Brandon JS Lea 2019-10-07T06:58:50Z

Wow, really cool, especially how you let people map their own keys. The squids fading in remind me of that ghostly squid in super metroid. Great job.

Escape with nothing by TheOmelet 2019-10-09T19:41:27Z

I'm actually impressed you made your own engine, it seems to run really well.

David & Goliaths by FizzpowMike1 2019-10-07T07:04:44Z

@fictions Thanks, that was kind of the test for myself, to make something that could fit similarly into the same genre as Archero. @tero-pulkkinen yeah, the goal was to make the controls more "mobiley". I side-loaded it onto my phone and it becomes a lot more intuitive that way. Thanks for playing!

David & Goliaths by FizzpowMike1 2019-10-07T07:08:55Z

@geoff-nagy What browser were you using? I may adda stand-alone if it continues to be a problem.

David & Goliaths by FizzpowMike1 2019-10-07T07:12:20Z

@justuspan It takes some getting used to since the controls aren't conventional pc controls. Once you do (unless you panic lol), you can get pretty good.

David & Goliaths by FizzpowMike1 2019-10-08T14:28:27Z

@peachtreeoath I’ll admit I could probably afford to tune down his speed and damage lol It is actually very easy if you keep from losing health and get one of the two swords, since he actually only has 100 health, thanks!

David & Goliaths by FizzpowMike1 2019-10-10T18:39:43Z

@weine Yeah, I spent alot of time on the mechanics so I had no time to balance the waves lol so I just doubled the last amount each time, there is alot that I wanted to do but didn't have time for since I worked solo, thanks for playing.

Cave People Exosdus by HowlingShame 2019-10-07T07:25:49Z

I feel like this is actually a really great entry, it looks like there was so much content. I just don't think I understood the mechanics enough to get anywhere, I felt like the game was... playing itself really.

End With Nothing!...? by Aileron 2019-10-07T06:41:53Z

Lol fun take on the theme, and don't feel bad about there not being a lot to the game, making a game by yourself is HARD! I basically just have a tower defense but with rng, and I worked on that a lot longer than 5 hours lol. Good work.

Mighty Mighty Bot by JustusPan 2019-10-07T07:33:47Z

Why is this game so cute?!? Seriously, the art, the sounds, the adorable robot, it makes me want to come back and play the whole game! My only gripe is that you have it on such a small window in itch.io

Nothing is my car ! by T-Bo 2019-10-10T16:29:28Z

I love the idea, as others have said, the colliders are a little unforgiving, but not enough for me to stop playing, especially once I realized you just have to pretend the car is there. Also, I love the smooth transitions from level to menus, are you loading as you close the shutters or using AsyncLoading? Or is it one continues scene with multiple cameras?

The Start to a New Beginning by Bobothegreat 2019-10-07T07:36:07Z

Did I just get trolled? lol

Stolen Goods by DrRozza 2019-10-10T16:13:40Z

I like this, but I would limit the view cones when they cross a wall, it doesn't make much sense for someone to see me through a wall.

MetaSpace by Jahwffrey 2019-10-09T19:34:03Z

I'm just in awe of the level of commitment it required, the terrible acting, the props, the green screening. It all combines to this game that is so bad that it is amazing. Brilliant job, I was laughing every second.

Pinbuilder by tequilatom 2019-10-07T06:50:49Z

This is super neat, a little more control explanation would be nice, but other than that great game. I couldn't get any further than 1407 lol
