LD44 — Your life is currency

Entity Manipulation by JCMonkey 2019-04-29T01:28:20Z

Nice puzzle!

(It took me a bit to get the hang of it) but it is a really nice and original idea :smile:

Rising Pyramid by BoltKey 2019-04-29T13:20:26Z

A bit of a hard concept to wrap my head around.. don't see much of a connection to the theme

Soul Search by SoerenBachNielsen 2019-04-29T11:54:35Z

This game really has a very specific (dark) tone to it, and it was conveyed very well.

On the gameplay side of it, there wasn't any gameplay I saw..it was more of reading the dialog between the different characters, felt more like a story than a game.

Finding Cookie by samh 2019-04-30T13:43:35Z

same thing as @mharring

Bloodmage by loadsofmana 2019-04-29T13:01:39Z

Cool game, a bit hard but thats ok I guess.

Fooled me a couple of times.. thought I should take the fall, only to realize later on there is a lever hiding at the top right corner :laughing:

FooShooter by elZach 2019-04-29T15:35:27Z

Wow real nice game, I quite enjoyed it..even though the theme didn't really come through for me

I **LOVED** the way you handled bullets hitting players (The way they just push you in their direction instead of the normal way bullets work).

May have found a bug

When I press up real hard to a wall, my weapon sticks out the other side of the wall, giving me the ability to shoot through that wall. Was this intentional?

FooShooter by elZach 2019-04-29T16:29:19Z

@elzach well you got my free QA services hehe

even though it is a bug, it is still a really neat feature :smile:

Journey Through the Blood Tribe Lands by Kornel 2019-05-01T08:40:44Z

Nice game I liked the concept.

On level 2, I got stuck in a tree/bush and couldn't get out of it no matter how many times I tried to move, which killed the character. So possible bug over there / unexpected behavior.

Fun game overall.

LifeTime by m4cgregor 2019-04-29T15:16:16Z

I finished the game and enjoyed it :smile:

Too bad it was so short

Greendy by Dumivid 2019-04-29T01:37:25Z

Nice game :smile:, I liked the automated (tree) currency earned.

Moon Miner by FROG5TAR 2019-04-30T13:31:30Z

game doesn't load for me...

Space Robots: Fight for Freedom by Fenderbate 2019-04-29T11:35:12Z

Nice little game, I won :smile: and then I lost :confused:

Was presented with the message ** Hooray we have taken over Humpa **, and like 7 seconds after that saw the screen with the message ** we didn't pay in time, the aliens have come for us **. So did I win or lose? :laughing:

I liked the music, it really set the tone for the game. I wish it was a bit longer :smile:

Nice effort overall.

BulletLife by Temsei 2019-05-01T08:56:06Z

An ok game, The movement felt off to me, it felt like the character was sliding instead of stopping, which got annoying really fast.

Coin Defender by Nikos 2019-04-29T15:37:48Z

The link to the game doesn't show a game, shows a 404 error...

Battery Life by Attala 2019-04-29T13:30:31Z

Cool entry, some things I would've added.. - Add a numeric representation of the energy values in different containers - Add the ability to look around the room

If there were numeric values, it would have added a nice layer of gameplay, instead of simply guessing when do I have enough energy to move on to the next phase of the level.

I couldn't know if the full battery arrived at its destination unless I actually went there and checked.

Coin Puzzles by Mika la Grand 2019-04-29T16:44:49Z

Could not understand how to use the button at level 3 or 4

Pixel Hell by NoodleMaster 2019-04-29T15:25:21Z

The jumping timer, no bueno...

Reach Together by Nakami 2019-04-29T12:41:31Z

Kind of weird gameplay..

Couldn't understand what I needed to do in the game to win, or progress.

Nice graphics.

Splitter Cells by Gunnbju 2019-05-01T08:58:38Z

The web build doesn't run for me..

obsessed by Oktarian 2019-04-30T14:07:03Z

The collision on some spikes just didnt work, I fell on spikes and nothing happened to me

obsessed by Oktarian 2019-04-30T14:12:53Z

@oktarian make it more clear to the player, i thought it was just a bug

Ballsy Escape by GeneralAnimal 2019-04-29T11:36:13Z

@n-one was it the one with the yellow button? or what bug are you referring to?

Ballsy Escape by GeneralAnimal 2019-04-29T16:08:49Z

@trevor-shoe yeah, had a real struggle with the physics of the box, if I had more time, maybe I would've gotten it right. The box went through **a lot** of modifications to its physics in these 48 hrs :laughing:

Ballsy Escape by GeneralAnimal 2019-04-29T16:24:06Z

@kristinnes glad you liked it :smile:

Ballsy Escape by GeneralAnimal 2019-04-29T16:48:17Z

@sillyman987 go to the shop, press the down arrow key, the key will be selected, press enter.

Ballsy Escape by GeneralAnimal 2019-04-29T16:54:21Z

@sillyman987 sure thing :smile:

Ballsy Escape by GeneralAnimal 2019-04-29T17:30:11Z

@xcvzxc Well done! Thank you for sharing your achievement :smile: I'm very glad you enjoyed my game.

@nexusviper thanks for pointing out the bugs you have found, I will try to fix them as soon as possible.

Also, you can actually handle the shop only with keys, up and down to select items, and enter to purchase the selected item. However your frustration is noted and will be improved upon (next ldjam perhaps) :smiley:

Ballsy Escape by GeneralAnimal 2019-04-30T08:55:31Z

@michael-feldman Was going exactly for that miniclip experience so I'm glad it came through :smile: Thanks for the positive comment, glad you enjoyed the game :smiley:

Ballsy Escape by GeneralAnimal 2019-04-30T14:09:01Z

@dumivid did you buy a key to open the chest? :smile:

Can you elaborate on how the game got stuck if you used all the boxes?

Ballsy Escape by GeneralAnimal 2019-04-30T21:05:59Z

@mykola thanks for the great review, really glad you liked the game! :smile:

Ballsy Escape by GeneralAnimal 2019-05-01T11:16:32Z

@harusame @skoggy Thank you both very much !

Ballsy Escape by GeneralAnimal 2019-05-02T10:11:03Z

@exewin hahah! Just so you'll know these were both intentional :smiley:

The first image depicts exactly what I thought.. if the player is observant enough, he will understand he can pass the level with just 1 box instead of 2

The second image depicts the greediness of the player that gets ruthlessly punished :smile:

Ballsy Escape by GeneralAnimal 2019-05-02T10:14:20Z

@darylsteak Yeah the boxes falling off was a feature that I didn't know if it will be good gameplay or not.. It was intentional however.. if you place the box just right, it will never fall off, but if you place it hastily or carelessly you just wasted a box.

@jiri-hysek Thanks for the great feedback, noted! and I'm glad you enjoed it :smile:

Ballsy Escape by GeneralAnimal 2019-05-02T10:16:18Z

@oddsocks Thanks for the great feedback and glad you enjoyed the game :smiley:

The shop was clearly the pitfall of this game entry, as you are not the only one to mention it was unnecessary, but hey, you live and you learn :smiley:

Ballsy Escape by GeneralAnimal 2019-05-02T20:52:16Z

@ausstein Wow very nice! I was **not** aware of this haha

Just curious, did you find it on your first go of the level? or were you looking for exploits? :wink:

Ballsy Escape by GeneralAnimal 2019-05-02T21:11:33Z

@ausstein haha nice thought process!

Will you be available to do game testing for the full version of the game? xD

Ballsy Escape by GeneralAnimal 2019-05-06T17:43:10Z

@persegan Glad you enjoed it :smile:

@f1krazy Thanks for the great review, your and other peoples comments encouraged me to create an extended version, and I can confirm it is progress :smiley:

Pilgrimage of Ascension by Pincushion 2019-04-29T12:53:32Z

Cool idea, even though the graphics and the UX is lacking.

There is no indication if a wall is thin or not, so I don't know if I can break it, only after a sacrifice was made.

Also I would like to reuse the alter if I made a wrong decision instead of restarting the level.

Currency Chaos by Aaron96 2019-04-29T15:41:51Z

Cool idea, had fun playing it.. didn't quite understand if a currency that is colored in green is good for me or not..

Currency Chaos by Aaron96 2019-04-29T16:11:11Z

@aaron96 well it was counter intuative for me.. if you think about it, the more the coin is worth the LESS you can afford but ok hehe

Sell Your Stats by n_one 2019-04-29T01:42:51Z

Cool game, would've liked some audio with it
