LD45 — Start with nothing

World Collector by Joe Williamson 2019-10-09T10:55:26Z

It's pretty good game with a very nice idea. I suppose it was due to time constraints, but I felt cheap finishing the game using three or four times the same cross room. Still an incredible entry though, well done!

D*ck Hunt by Dene 2019-10-09T16:17:03Z

Really cool game! I'm not really into idle games but this one kept me because of the humour and the achievable goal.

Words With Foes: Quest for the Lexinomicon by MattWoelk 2019-10-12T23:50:29Z

It is a really neat idea, that is also well executed! Good job!

There were 8 hours left and I decided I wanted to participate after all by Corny 2019-10-09T16:09:22Z

The feeling of the game is amazing, each hit really packs a punch! I also like the minimalist art. Good job!

Metro Gang by invader 2019-10-15T18:08:41Z

The game is really confusing and I couldn't really understand what I was doing. Just figuring out which character was mine was really hard. The idea is good, but I think you should work on your feedbacks.

Refilltris by stark 2019-10-15T17:59:11Z

I like the idea but I was very quickly lost, to the point where the game's reaction to my actions seemed completely random. I think your game misses some in-between levels explaining the new mechanics as they come, and maybe something to show that the rules have changed (like a change in color?)

Spooky Mansion by Jeremia 2019-10-09T11:24:58Z

I like the idea but I got hit by gargoyles so many times without seeing them coming to me!

Hobo VRawl by Drixide 2019-10-09T11:07:14Z

The game looks good and the graphics are nice, but I don't really like the theme. I think it's in rather poor taste.

Kitty Litter Defence by Doodums 2019-10-09T11:01:10Z

This game looks incredible. I wish you had more time to polish it though, it gets really hard to know if an enemy was hit or not.

deathlock by winterbeak 2019-10-14T10:07:43Z

Incredible game with a super mechanic. The level design is really cool. My only regret is that sometimes I felt like I didn't really understood how I managed to finish a level, my character bounced toward the exit a bit out of my control. But this is really minor, your game is awesome!

LD50 — Delay the inevitable

The Short Dark by PhyscoKillerMonkey 2022-04-12T08:38:11Z

I died because I was thirsty but I couldn't scroll down to my water bottle in my inventory... :( I love the minimalist art style, it has just enough polish to look very good. The bears' AI needs some improvement: they can see the player through walls it seems, and once they saw you enter a shack you're pretty much doomed as they will block the exit (at least if you don't have a gun.) I would also witch walking and running, but maybe that's just me. The super slow walking speed made me run all the time. It's still very impressive, and it works really well. Well done!

TOOB by Gatlink 2022-04-05T11:00:17Z

@yorsh Thanks for your comment! You gain more points by going further than you get by staying alive a long time. Also, points for distance and bonuses are doubled if you are going at full speed. Lastly I would say that going fast is more fun :P

TOOB by Gatlink 2022-04-05T15:25:47Z

@milan8890 damn, I though I had eradicated that bug for good! Thanks for you nice comment, I hope that crash didn't take too much of your enjoyment. Fun fact: at some point you could drive though the tunnel and end up driving ON it instead of inside of it :D If we had more time we would have made an alternative map were you drive outside.

TOOB by Gatlink 2022-04-06T08:32:10Z

@someone The menus can be controlled via keyboard, just press up or down and the first button will be focused. It works with the gamepad too, push the left stick or the d-pad up or down and similarly you will be able to navigate the menus with those inputs.

@jesse-martin The penalty for braking all the time is that you gain way more points by going further than surviving longer. Also, points awarded by distance or bonuses are doubled when you are at full speed. Unfortunately we couldn't communicate this clearly to the players (the only thing we managed to implement was different sfx when you grab a bonus at full speed, clearly that was not enough.)

Thank you both for playing the game!

TOOB by Gatlink 2022-04-06T11:16:17Z

@someone thanks for testing and reporting that! I'll take a look.

TOOB by Gatlink 2022-04-09T21:51:39Z

@tomatolamp nice catch on the stick thing, I tested it but didn't realize. Thanks a lot!

Card O''Clock by Bastienre4 2022-04-06T08:16:37Z

Very impressive game. There is too much going on for me, but the amount of polish is incredible. Good job!

Chtonic Arhipelago by GreenRadiation 2022-04-05T13:31:53Z

5 star for the mood, no problem! This is not the type of game I enjoy, but I recognize it is really well made. I suppose it is intentional, but I had a really bad start where the island I chose to join had no trees on it, so I couldn't get more wood to continue and died after being only able to reach the second island :grimacing: It looks well and plays well, good job!

Snow Dude! by Zliebowitz 2022-04-07T15:51:20Z

I really liked your game, and I went pretty far before I remembered I was supposed to be working... I did a good chunk of levels without using the mouse and got stuck a while when it became necessary, maybe an early level that forces the player to use it would be nice (as I feel you made levels to introduce pretty much every other mechanic I feel it's missing.) Another thing I wish was in the game is an arrow or something to show me in which direction I'm going to toss when I'm using the mouse. Anyway, those are really small grievances, I think this game has the potential to become a full fledged game, the core mechanics are here and already feel good, it only needs more levels, and more gameplay elements like the bouncers. Graphically I didn't really enjoy the levels, the backgrounds were a bit empty and the tileset too repetitive and a bit blend, but the character was cute as hell, especially the way it rolls on the ground! You put the effort into what counts, which is so important when you have so little time. Good job all around, this is a great entry!

Dinosaur Disaster by harringtonsp1 2022-04-07T08:12:42Z

It's fun, it's cute, and it sounds good. I really liked it.

Populus Romanus by Bauke Regnerus 2022-04-05T19:11:35Z

Hi fellow Godot dev :wave: This game reminded me of Islander (which is a good thing.) The mechanic is clever and easy to grasp. I love the simple art style and the portraits, it gives it lots of personality. Good job!

Light-Fingered by QuadApe 2022-04-06T18:43:34Z

I really liked the graphics but the controls felt slippery to me, I did not manage to land any jump on small platforms. Wall run was a bit finnicky too. It is one of the most impressive entry I saw though, respect.

Rewind by Retrisma 2022-04-05T15:22:03Z

It lacks some feedback here and there to help the player understand what's happening, but it's a nice idea and a good implementation.

Unfaithable by Furano 2022-04-06T18:50:14Z

I really love the art, and the feel of shooting.

Battery Low by Milestone Games 2022-04-05T13:41:23Z

This is a well rounded experience, every aspect of it feel polished. I have nothing negative to say about it. Good job!

Only Hugh Can Prevent Forest Fires by bixarrio 2022-04-12T09:02:50Z

It's a very good idea that fits the them really well. I love the graphics, even though they make the game a bit difficult to read at times (I dropped my bucket to grab the fuel canister, and couldn't find it again.) Good job!

Mr. Final Boss by Oroshibu 2022-04-05T18:09:03Z

A really really good entry, great job!

lose95 by Sulo 2022-04-05T10:32:12Z

You game is incredible! I had tons of fun playing it, good job! My only problem with it is that my hand kinda cramped after a while x)

Reaplechase by emk4 2022-04-05T10:37:19Z

Nice concept, which fits the theme really well. I had fun with it, but I think I would have preferred it as a god game (and it's fitting), where you don't have a character in the world and you just interact with things by clicking them. Still, it's a pretty solid entry, good job!

Highrail to hell by BadPiggy 2022-04-05T13:20:02Z

Cool little with great aesthetics and "nice" ambiance. Good job!

Prestidigitaxation by TomatoLamp 2022-04-07T08:07:19Z

I'm surprised at how accurate I was given the camera! Your game feels good to play, and it's quite fun. Well done!

FreeFall by aaron1_cabj 2022-04-05T18:26:16Z

The art is really great, the song is nice, the mechanics are simple but they work well. Good job!

Jacob Cassidy in: Case Crimson Midnight by parkuhrmd 2022-04-05T11:08:18Z

It's a really good game, that got me hooked until the end! The difficulty ramp up nicely along with your power, it's extremely satisfying to zap an entire crowd of zombies in an instant. The powers are plenty and all of them are interesting (even though freeze and push seem to be a bit redondant, but I might have missed something.) The characters look really nice, and I can see the care that was put into their animations, so it's a bit of a pity that the environment and the UI are not in par (the health and mana bars are triggering me so bad as they are the only elements that are not pixel art, I guess you ran out of time.) It's too bad you opted out of humour rating, I would have given you a good one. There is basically only one joke in your game, told over and over, but it made me laugh every time!

Keep It Up! by iDunnyX 2022-04-07T07:20:48Z

You really nailed the feeling of playing with an inflatable balloon. Your game is simple but fun, and well executed. Good job!

Bath Time by benjamm 2022-04-05T18:45:31Z

I love the setting, that's not something we see often in video game land. And that hat was hypnotizing me...

Owl Knight by Askoed 2022-04-05T13:52:20Z

Your game looks amazing, but the game feel is not great. It is hard to understand when you hit enemies or when they hit you, the dash feels a bit useless considering the amplitude of the jump, and I haven't figured out what's the use of throwing torches. T is a weird key to use when playing with WASD, even though I understand why you chose that. Right click would have been a better fit I think. It is still an impressive amount of work, and it doesn't need mush more polish to really shine.

LD53 — Delivery

Pigeon Splat by adjo 2023-05-11T08:59:21Z

I'll admit it, I'm not a fan of the "fantasy" of your game. That said, it is really satisfying to play. Learning to anticipate the trajectory of your "projectile" and combining that with the varying speeds of the NPCs is really engaging. I really enjoyed my time with it!

Rush Deliverance by ryusui 2023-05-06T16:49:52Z

It's simple but it's good, I actually replayed it a second time, which doesn't happen often during jams x) Well done!

Dragon Express by raptor851 2023-05-07T12:56:51Z

I never understood where I was supposed to go and got scolded by the first NPC when I tried to ask again :(

Viking Delivery by GreenData 2023-05-06T16:45:26Z

I'm not sure where I was supposed to deliver the packages, an arrow with a different color, or at least some feedback when I did deliver things would have helped. The art is cute and the music quite relaxing, which makes it a cosy experience that's nice to play.

Package Passage by PizzArt64 2023-05-11T09:09:56Z

I loved everything about his game. The controls are good, the music is incredible, the level is well made... I wish there were more hip hop in video games, I love that kind of vibe. Great job, it was amazing.

Level Delivery System by Le Don 2023-05-06T11:57:37Z

I think you are crazy. Implementing 4 different gameplays, with 4 different levels that can be played with any character seems like an impossible task for a jam. Yet you made it. It might not be the best looking game I've seen this jam but it's definitely the more inventive!

Desert Mayhem by uniquecorn 2023-05-03T08:36:47Z

It looks really nice, and the main idea is really interesting! Controls feels a bit weird at first, but after some upgrades it gets better. Picking up body parts is really hard, maybe slow motion or even a pause when the trunk is opened would help, as well as bigger hitboxes for the body part. Good job though, I could really see this expanded upon.

News Flash! by Shaggy 2023-05-07T12:45:09Z

The newspaper physics drove me crazy x) Time and time again I shot a newspaper on the target, just to see it slide out of it, which made me stop in my tracks to shoot again, going against the idea of speed you seemed to want for your game. I felt like jumping wasn't needed, a more carefully crafted level would have helped with that. Movement feels good though, and the idea is neat.

demaker.s game by Kent Lizardo 2023-05-11T09:30:30Z

It's a really impressive entry! The graphics are great and the main idea is awesome. I had a problem where the GBA would not have mouse steering anymore, but I couldn't really understand what triggered it. The PSP is really frustrating to use because of the huge reload time. A better feedback as to your bullets hitting an enemy or not would be great too, I spent way too much time in that room with a TV really high up before realizing that I was hitting it. The dash felt a bit useless, I think I cleared the room where you're supposed to use it with jumps instead. Anyway it is still one of the best entries I've seen, I am really impressed.

Apocalypse Prime by ADerpyChickenStudios 2023-05-06T12:06:47Z

I love te idea but being interrupted so often by dialogues kinda killed the fun for me. Also collisions on the collapsed buildings you're supposed to drive on to get higher is messed, I ended up getting stuck and lost due to the timer :( I wish you had more time to polish it, it would have been amazing

Apocalypse Express by D3kryption 2023-05-06T17:01:59Z

Pretty solid entry, and very impressive. I got stuck after getting the weapons, nobody wanted to talk to me anymore, and I think you left some debug text and gizmos in there, but it is still really impressive. Good job!

Cleopatra's Pizza by Maxnanas 2023-05-06T11:49:52Z

Really fun entry! It moves well, the art is good and the gameplay is solid. I felt like sometimes my character wasn't jumping when I wanted, if it's not already in there maybe some coyote time or input buffer would be good, if it is you might want to be a bit more generous. Good job!

Shiver Deliver by CO5MONAUT 2023-05-07T12:37:43Z

First thing first, the mood is amazing. The end (I don't know if it is the end but I tried twice and couldn't get further than that) really spooked me, the first AND the second time. I don't have much else to say except good job!

Last Stand Delivery by Sheng Mai 2023-05-06T12:19:35Z

Nice art, nice twist on a well-known genre, great job!

Delivery and Hunting for Lavatory (DHL) by Kitira 2023-05-07T13:02:52Z

Classic gameplay with a nice twist. If I were to improve one thing, it would be the camera who lags behind the player, while it should show what's ahead. Still, good job!

Message to the End by edenic666 2023-05-05T20:05:12Z

It's not my type of game but it's really well made. Good job!

Cargo Chaos by synthol 2023-05-06T12:14:13Z

As some people said, objects should spawn out of the screen to give enough time to players to react. Some UI to show how many packages you have would be cool too. The gameplay is classic but well executed, other than what I just said, so good job!
