LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Rebel Call by SeanNoonan 2019-08-07T23:52:53Z

I thoroughly enjoyed this game and concept. :) Thanks

LD45 — Start with nothing

Singularity by dob 2019-10-08T14:39:38Z

Really smart, interesting concept and I love the graphics / shader. The geometric feel was really "in place" in space :stuck_out_tongue:

Bearly Alive by bjeaurn 2019-10-06T21:13:09Z

Really enjoyed it :smile:

Totally not Settlers by mr-tag 2019-10-11T11:42:47Z

Fantastic Entry. No Downsides

New start at N.O.T.H.I.N.G. Ltd. by Shigor 2019-10-08T18:25:58Z

I loved it! I thought this was a great entry. Congratulations!

The Hobo’s Guide to the Galaxy by KonH 2019-10-07T15:21:24Z

Great Game! Honestly, I love the concept, it feels like a rhythm strategy? weird to explain wonderful to experience!

Word Crush by lunarDust 2019-10-11T15:32:19Z

Really cool, like this sort of game, would love to have seen a few more levels though.

Tactical Bodybuilding by SuperTibbles 2019-10-11T15:18:07Z

Great little game, I loved it :) fun idea, controls were a little less than perfect but overall fantastic.

Invasion by gwinnell 2019-10-07T13:42:51Z

Amazing Game! I loved it! Such a great concept too!

Better than nothing by Fictions 2019-10-06T21:19:07Z

This was amazingly smart! I loved it! :smile:

ØJE by Gaming Night 2019-10-11T12:13:01Z

Fantastic Game - I assume øje means little eye in some north germanic language ?

FactoriNode by Ender7 2019-10-08T10:18:13Z

I do really enjoy games like this :smile: Thank you for sharing!

Overthought by JakobTheQuizGuy 2019-10-07T10:48:20Z

I agree with @death-is-cold. After the smell, it was hard to tell what benefit you got from levelling up which left me a little saddened. Maybe touch could increase pickup range? etc.

Can't Move Can't Jump Can't Shot...Yet by n_one 2019-10-08T17:46:27Z

Not a lover of this unfortunately but well put together otherwise

GettingHome by Mowgli 2019-10-08T14:09:12Z

It works, would love to have seen a timer or some sort of indication of how long you have left though!

Fruit Merchant by ditam 2019-10-08T14:47:43Z

I enjoyed this! Took me a while to realise the suit gets damaged on journeys

Golden Retriever by Gone3001 2019-10-08T12:58:48Z

Decent game, the good boy vs bad boy thing is a nice touch.

Hunt and Gather by Gaz_Ireland 2019-10-07T07:58:37Z

@fictions - The camera was a challenge right up until the bitter end. I'm glad I got there and I'm happy with it. Thanks for playing

Hunt and Gather by Gaz_Ireland 2019-10-07T07:59:53Z

@tmullet - Thanks for playing, yeah I guess I could have been more verbose in the explanation at the start. Glad you got the "bring it to the stockpile' bit :)

Hunt and Gather by Gaz_Ireland 2019-10-07T08:03:22Z

@bjeaurn - unfortunately I've to get back to work so I can't dedicate that extra day. I would have loved a chance to build a selector​, even just a shader to change the selected unit but I never got the time. My character model (in the source files) had issues with being transparent and mismanaged my time a lot with that.

Hunt and Gather by Gaz_Ireland 2019-10-07T08:07:33Z

@geoff-nagy Thanks for your input. I never got around to testing it on Linux​ or Windows, just webGL (which I wasn't happy with), and os x so I'm glad the packages worked for you. I wanted to get simple but quickly recognisable​ models made and as I said to @bjeaurn the main character ate way too much into my timeline. Felt a bit like "I'm so close, just two more minutes!" for about 3 hours. - I learned a lot about time management.

Hunt and Gather by Gaz_Ireland 2019-10-07T08:08:09Z

@kazatan - Thank you for the input! I'm glad you enjoyed it and found the models pretty :smile: I did put a lot of effort in!

Hunt and Gather by Gaz_Ireland 2019-10-07T14:51:28Z

@iantyf - It was a fun project to work on. I think it could be fleshed out. I might look into it in a day or two after recovery. :stuck_out_tongue:

Hunt and Gather by Gaz_Ireland 2019-10-07T14:57:39Z

@odeyalko - Thank you for your kind words. I was hoping to get a character modelled and a selector made in the time but it wasn't on my side. With an extra day I might have chanced basic animations.

Hunt and Gather by Gaz_Ireland 2019-10-09T11:45:11Z

@mowgli they gather off each other? 🙃🙃 I never noticed

Global Warming Is Coming by Odeyalko 2019-10-07T13:36:56Z

Enjoyable game, would liked to have seen a water level meter, or even a way of saying get out you have 15 seconds! Found the ax easily enough. The raft I've yet to find in time.

We have Nothing! by mira 2019-10-07T14:19:46Z

I loved it, some nice screen shake for the "THUMP" landing added weight to the character. Not sure if the "super jump" was a bug or a secret though :smile:

Return to Nothing by SageWare 2019-10-11T11:07:54Z

Not massively in love with this game as the mouse controls are a little too loose for my taste, Overall objective felt a bit... unruly. However it has the makings of a good game.

Start with WHITE by IanTyf 2019-10-07T14:47:36Z

Great concept. I feel that a more limited pallet would be beneficial with more distinct changes. I really enjoyed it, but would loved to have seen more grouped? or something. Like if yellows were likely to spawn near other yellows oranges and maybe reds or something.

The Journey of Life by mortalfosca 2019-10-07T08:22:22Z

A definite start, middle and end. It felt like it could be expanded with a little more UI stuff but otherwise definitely a playable game!

Start Powerless by rob1221dev 2019-10-07T11:28:03Z

A little frustratingly tough but I enjoyed it. Quite emotive for a little blue square

Spew by ashashza 2019-10-11T11:18:17Z

The OSX Build doesn't appear to work. Perhaps this is a OS X Catalina issue?

Spew by ashashza 2019-10-12T11:07:55Z

@ashashza - Good morning Dev. I got a chance to play this on another OS X machine. It turns out its an issue with how Catalina handles executables (Like games) from unknown developers. Basically,​ it's​ a safety issue. Great game. I really enjoyed it! Slightest bit laggy on this machine (8 Core, 16Gb Ram so I'm not sure why​) but great game overall!

LD46 — Keep it alive

Sunset Directive by incobalt 2020-04-20T23:16:27Z

Is there a way to collect your bin and leave? I can't find it and I've tried all available options

DJ Data Bender by binroot 2020-04-20T21:50:25Z

Fantastic Idea, Great Execution. Original too. This game is standing out for me!

A Letter To Ed by zoglu 2020-04-20T18:32:16Z

This was absolutely beautiful. I cannot find fault at all.

Symbio-tech by GenericToast 2020-04-20T12:34:01Z

Fantastic Game! Amazing you could do so much so quickly. I really Enjoyed this.

Asclepio by Rapwnzel 2020-04-20T21:34:06Z

Enjoyable game, Would love to have a zoom option and the virii moved a little fast for my skills.

Raising Cerberus by LocksmithArmy 2020-04-21T11:09:19Z

I enjoyed this. :) flesh it out a little and tighten up the fishing mechanic. Plus the time seems a little constrained. But great otherwise.

Blind-O-Saur by Gaz_Ireland 2020-04-20T16:00:54Z

Thanks for All the input guys - I agree I struggled with the jump and the camera. If I could go back I would focus on that. Platformers are new to me. But Thanks for the input on the art, I really enjoyed that for this game. I would loved to have parallaxed the background but no joy. Thanks for playing though.

@ankush @quichi @galgris

Blind-O-Saur by Gaz_Ireland 2020-04-20T18:33:26Z

@odeyalko I actually remember your 45! I'm going to play your 46 now :)

Blind-O-Saur by Gaz_Ireland 2020-04-20T21:36:28Z

@miradore Thank you :) I'm glad it was fun and yeah It's not a life altering challange but became an "I'll get around to it".

Blind-O-Saur by Gaz_Ireland 2020-04-20T23:23:28Z

Thanks @binroot. We've all been playing platformers for years so I took a lesson from Mario. Enemy straight away, either it kills you or you learn to jump. :stuck_out_tongue:

Blind-O-Saur by Gaz_Ireland 2020-04-23T19:40:47Z

@frasse I actually spotted that myself when I was testing the upload 😂😂

Blind-O-Saur by Gaz_Ireland 2020-04-23T19:41:45Z

Thanks, @thedouche, you really don’t live up to your name!

Blind-O-Saur by Gaz_Ireland 2020-04-23T19:42:24Z

@trusty thanks for your input I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

Blind-O-Saur by Gaz_Ireland 2020-04-23T19:42:50Z

@recreated4u i hope that means you enjoyed it 😂

Blind-O-Saur by Gaz_Ireland 2020-04-29T12:08:06Z

@cheesepencil Why yes, quite a few have, but thank you for enjoying the art :)

Keep cats alive! by Odeyalko 2020-04-20T18:46:58Z

Fun Game :) Great to see you followed the theme from the last one, you could be on the way to something bigger :P

I would loved to have seen a little more focus on the art. I've seen you can do it.

Overall cool idea. Mouse movement is a little ugh. but otherwise good game!

Slime Mama by Jack Kaloger 2020-04-21T14:14:06Z

Definitely a fantastic entry. :) I loved the graphics and animation. Play was smooth if a little less than responsive at times.

Cold Front by chrismcco 2020-04-21T10:56:26Z

Funky little game, decent mechanics, would love to maybe see a bigger board if you beat the first level.

Yandere Emulator by 730 2020-04-29T12:06:34Z

Fantastic little game, Challangeing, I didn't actually get to the end unfortunately. But I wanted to rank this. and come back to it later.

floweressence by yamgent 2020-04-20T16:41:04Z

Beautiful Game. I love the artwork on the towers. I was a little confused by the colour components etc and what the "good vs bad" enemies were. But I did get it and enjoyed it. :)

Hikikomori Simulator by yeojoey 2020-04-20T23:31:27Z

Pretty Graphics and overall clean astethic [sic?] however the stat cost seems a little steep but overall good game :)

Maintenance by bereg 2020-04-20T16:50:42Z

Unfortunately I couldn't get the mac build to run.

Be a Good Friend by oxlox 2020-04-20T23:53:39Z

Huh... interedting concept. I was legitimately confused for a few minutes until I realised what time it was. Smart

Can Adequately Generate Charge, C.A.G.E. for short! by Izokia 2020-04-21T10:09:52Z

Fantastic little game. I really enjoyed the idea. Kinda hits home when my phone is always in the yellow :stuck_out_tongue:

LD47 — Stuck in a loop

a nice place by netmute 2020-10-08T19:27:24Z

A fun little game, just a nice mystery to look at. I think it has the potential for a good storyline to grow.

Save The Prince by AVAVT 2020-10-09T18:37:53Z

Absolutely Great Game. Nothing more to add here. :)

StuckyLoop by ownedstuff 2020-10-08T02:25:53Z

The colours were beautiful, Honestly, I'd follow this theme a little deeper and maybe explore some led or neon style outlines. (I kinda imaging EL Wire around the blades etc.) It was a little bit challanging off the bat. But overall Beautiful Game. I did phase through quite a few obstacles however.

Loop Online Mmo by cax 2020-10-08T01:46:59Z

This.. Is .. Brilliant.. I don't think I've ever gave an entry 5 stars but you deserve it.

LöwÖrbit by Gaz_Ireland 2020-09-20T22:26:39Z

12 Days, It's official. I'm back for LD47. I've submitted some theme suggestions too for the first time this year.

LöwÖrbit by Gaz_Ireland 2020-10-03T23:58:26Z

Pew Pew

So I spent an embarrasingly long time trying to get Raycasting working. Turns out the collider is NOT meant to be on the parent object.

So now?

We have lasers and asteroids that go boom!

LöwÖrbit by Gaz_Ireland 2020-10-05T16:36:42Z

@fabdynamic All builds have been zipped now. As for the WebGL I can't seem to get that working with your link?

LöwÖrbit by Gaz_Ireland 2020-10-08T01:57:36Z

@hungrycatgames Once the asteroids hit it's meant to be over.. I never really tested it to see what happened after the timer ran out as it's meant to be stopped. But thanks for playing!

Life is Loop by frances 2020-10-15T04:04:11Z

Not a bad game at all, but I'm dizzy from the spinning lol. The game feels complete. That I do like.

While(true) by iorena 2020-10-08T01:56:12Z

Fantastic game. I don't know if I've just had a string of great games or if I'm just in a great mood but you got all 5's from me my friend. I love the robot, he's adoable. I'd love to see a set / execute option but that's litterally it.

Slime Panic by AlariannGames 2020-10-08T01:35:53Z

This was a cute little game, first one I've actually commented on. I really enjoyed it. The art style was fun and it looks like you put some serious effort into this game across the board!
