disc golf deluxe by PixzleOne 2017-12-06T05:07:28Z

Wow, this was cute! Nice little challenging game as well! Wonderful success for a gamejam!

Dungeon Chat Bot by brookzerker 2017-12-04T03:42:05Z

This is awesome. I love seeing interesting game design ideas like this!

Robby & Coppy by Imphenzia 2017-12-04T04:06:34Z

Oh God, falling to your death lol. Nice work!

Slowjumper by Scriptorum 2017-12-04T03:58:35Z

Challenging! Kinda reminds me of VVVVVV in a way.

Holiday Parking Panic! by FormalCloud 2017-12-05T16:53:20Z

Thank you all so much for the comments and feedback! Sadly there wasn't enough time to complete the entire game goal and I am happy to announce that I will be spending the rest of December to polish up and implement the games objectives, enhance the AI, and create larger maps w/ more things to interact with.

Some have asked how the current game relates to the theme. The original design had the parking lots fill up more over time as you tried to finish various objectives such as parking in specific spots, collecting items, and clearing the road of debris. This is the vision for the game I will complete this month.

Health Hazard by PeculiarCarrot 2017-12-04T03:53:44Z

Simple yet challenging! Nice take on the theme!

Prinsen Gulden by King Kujito 2017-12-04T03:56:23Z

I really dig the presentation you were aiming for with this, very cool!

Radioactive Rumble by weeping-rupee 2017-12-05T22:26:00Z

It's too hard. :P - Actually it is really awesome. I love the concept here, good work!

Worth the Weight by Mark Smith 2017-12-04T05:11:16Z

This is pretty cool! The mechanic is well themed.

Dungeon Raid by kbf123 2017-12-04T03:48:18Z

So. Much. Loot! Grats on the compo entry!

Exploding Golf, with Lovable Piggies by OldPeculier 2017-12-04T03:45:59Z

Pico-8 stuff is always so adorable! I love this, nice work!

Sleepless by NickNarian 2017-12-05T22:31:43Z

Graphics are obviously top notch, the theme is great. Nice job.

Coffee Dude by cpcrabs 2017-12-04T03:45:25Z

To much coffee! Hyperspeeeeeeeed! Nice work!

Jonathan The Sorcerer by ncannasse 2017-12-04T05:08:07Z

Wonderful graphics and polished idea. Excellent work.

Loot n' Scoot by Nick Rafalski 2017-12-04T03:44:02Z

My bags are too heavy! Argh! Nice work!

The Star War 2: The quest for more money by eerongal 2017-12-04T03:52:20Z

Lol, gotta have fun with gamedev!

Potdemon by RockhopperGames 2017-12-06T05:02:50Z

You need to make the itch.io page published - it is still hidden! :)

Plunder! by Temmy 2017-12-06T05:04:56Z

This is such a cute and awesome idea. The ships are adorable and while the gameplay is simple the execution of hat you have is well done. Lot of little charm here if fleshed out into a full game!

Also, +1 for using GameMaker. :)

The More You Snow by Evan Polekoff 2017-12-04T05:05:02Z

I love snow! Challenging!

Kids, Don't Do Wild Magic by ErikU 2017-12-04T04:03:55Z

Argh! Tough opponent!

Conquer by OmnipotentIndie 2017-12-04T03:52:59Z

Game appears to be missing from Itch.io. Nice little game, very challenging!

Heavy Gold by Poorwill 2017-12-04T03:41:11Z

I love the idea of being burdened by loot, nice work!

Deadline by Sholf 2017-12-04T03:49:32Z

Aha, I love the pencil mechanic with the writing. Very clever! Nice work!

Get in Shape by Prostone 2017-12-04T04:01:48Z

This was a neat idea!

Blob Hell by ryuzaki_mrl 2017-12-04T04:14:58Z

This is a neat concept, bullets are very challenging!

Feed Them by Fis 2017-12-05T22:29:25Z

Really chaotic but really cool. The art is great!

Treasure Balloon by Relsqui 2017-12-04T05:05:54Z

Ah, more adorableness! Nice work!

Pickup by Funnboi 2017-12-04T03:51:03Z

This is a pretty cool idea. Good job on your compo entry!

Vault Loot by ghostlygurustudios 2017-12-04T20:52:17Z

This is awesome. Reminds me of gauntlet and that is a compliment!

Escape Infection! by 11tomi12 2017-12-06T19:33:50Z

I like the concept behind this game, with some reworked controls and nice fx this could be a fun mobile game! Nice work!

Overburdened by LeoF 2017-12-04T05:06:56Z

Hah, interesting concept! I could see this expanded on a bit for sure!

Gophergeddon by Ham and Swiss 2017-12-04T04:12:39Z

This is a really cool idea! Nice work!

POLAMI by Faloon 2017-12-04T01:47:51Z

This reminds me of those mega man levels with the missing blocks. Nice!

One Million Dollars by Luxorix Games 2017-12-04T03:39:57Z

Congrats on getting in the compo, nice work!

the tale of Mr. Diggins by mally1mk 2017-12-05T22:28:09Z

This is really awesome work here! Congrats on your first entry! Quite the success!

Rogue-Light by SilvervaleGames 2017-12-04T03:47:35Z

What a neat take on the theme, great work!

Barnacle Dash by Philippe 2017-12-06T16:56:01Z

Congrats on finishing! Art was pretty cool, wish the music was a bit more but still fun! Nice work!

Buffet Run by great-bobleny 2017-12-04T05:09:49Z

Behind the simplistic delivery is actually a neat concept that I think if given more time could be a very cool idea. Nice work!

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Lucky Towers! by FormalCloud 2018-04-24T05:16:33Z

@Teapoly That's a great suggestion! I am new to Tower Defense games so I kinda went easy on the player since there is a bit of RNG in the mix as well - but I will definitely consider this feedback for future updates! Thank's for your suggestion!

Lucky Towers! by FormalCloud 2018-04-24T05:35:14Z

@Sholf Look at all that dosh! Thanks for playing so much! I am glad you enjoyed it!

Your suggestion is also something a few people have mentioned and adding the ability to click again and stop the slots is def something I can do in future updates! :smile:

Lucky Towers! by FormalCloud 2018-04-24T14:26:23Z

@Crsrc @Tiberon The end wave early button was a last minute addition so that you could speed up the enemies if they got past your towers and you didn't want to wait on them to walk. (That's why it's a skull button) I would have loved to have configured the entire game to just 'speed up' but I ran out of time.

Lucky Towers! by FormalCloud 2018-04-24T16:17:51Z

@cileth Thanks for that feedback! There are a few UI issues that crept in, if you want to cancel your current tower just right click and it does it all for you - the menu shouldn't be accessible while you're placing the towers and I'll def look into these issues for future updates. :)

Lucky Towers! by FormalCloud 2018-04-24T18:23:56Z

@MarkoPoloDev Haha that's awesome - sorry about the lag! With HTML5 and game jam and all I never had a chance to really optimize it for this scale. At the request of some folks I am working on a new edition with better monsters, timing, and a ton of performance improvements so that should be available in the near future! :)

Lucky Towers! by FormalCloud 2018-04-28T18:23:11Z

@Kwisarts Thanks for your feedback! Let me address a few issues (most were due to time limits of the jam)

1) The speed u/wave endp mechanic was broken. Towers didn't match correctly.

2) The pacing/balance was not great, my biggest flaw in the design. This was my first Tower Defense game and I had 0 experience with them so I sided on caution and that made the pacing more slow than they needed to be.

3) Due to jam time limits and so much UI work needing done I didn't get a lot of time for optimization - especially with HTML5. With that come cases of lag for some people depending on their browser, system, and total towers out.

Good news is, every single one of these issues has been addressed and greatly improved upon for the polished post-LDJAM release that is going through closed beta testing as we speak - and will be available sometime in May. :)

Snakeout by BoltKey 2018-04-24T02:59:13Z

I would have loved to see this with a bit more graphical polish but the idea and the genre mixing is very clever and well done!

Crash Crops by lonewookie 2018-04-24T03:04:08Z

This is a really clever combination! It took me a second to understand what was going on but once I did, I fell in love. I would love to see a bigger fleshed out version of this!

LD41 - Infiltrat3 by Quarter Up Studios 2018-04-24T05:32:00Z

This is an insane mash up I would have never considered, but you pulled it off! I love the mechanics of it and think that with some polish and more fleshed out ideas you could have a winner on your hands here. Great creativity!

Feed the Beat by Benstar 2018-04-24T02:54:51Z

Awesome game! I really like the combination. My only complaint is that the game doesn't seem to line up with the beat - but it's still fun! Good work!

Brickris Tetout by fluffy 2018-04-24T03:35:47Z

Love the graphics and feel and the genre combination works really well! Great work!

Drive Threw by Zachary Burkett 2018-04-24T03:50:56Z

Haha, I love this concept. Great idea and fun game! Good job!

StarClick: RTS + Clicker by Lerg 2018-04-24T03:00:46Z

This was a great take on the theme and a lot of gameplay to sink my teeth into! Excellent job!

Delve by riordan 2018-04-24T05:24:53Z

This is an excellent entry! Tight controls, great artwork, and an awesome mashing of the two genres. Great work all around!

Escape The Future! by Razorlance 2018-04-24T03:43:45Z

Interesting concept! Kind of had an old school feel about it. Great job on finishing your second jam!

Pretty Crowded Dungeon by sprvrn 2018-04-24T03:37:25Z

Nothing I can say that hasn't already been said, this game is great! Polished and works well with the theme! Really like it!

Splitscreen Hide N Seek by PackNSlash 2018-04-24T02:56:12Z

Link doesn't work!

00Boyfriend - A Spy's Dating Sim by SamStallion 2018-04-24T05:28:40Z

This is an excellent entry all around, visually, genre-merging, and the controls feel really good. The music and the setting is done great! Your team did a wonderful job, congratulations!
