LD46 — Keep it alive

Keep it Olive by Nicso 2020-04-23T09:39:12Z

Loved the concept! Great execution art-wise. Great job!

Flower Power by jharler 2020-04-21T17:03:41Z

Brilliant and fun little game! Your intentions of it being easy, fun and silly are spot on. You tried doing one thing and executed it perfectly. Loved it!

Root Defence by boddiul 2020-04-21T17:09:13Z

Good job! Great concept but needs a bit of polishing.

Oh! That's a Hare!! by metalfist213 2020-04-20T20:40:50Z

Couldn't rate because I got an error message: ("is the pck file missing") when trying to run the .exe on Windows :(

Morose by 100th_Coin 2020-04-21T16:53:48Z

Beautiful game! Stunning graphics and music!

Rebutia by 43sam 2020-04-21T17:30:13Z

Great job! Had a lovely feel and simple yet beautiful graphics.

Just Fishing by DrunkardWolf 2020-04-20T06:29:29Z

Great work! Lovely graphics and wonderful relaxing mood.

Hungry, Hungry, Hungry, Very, Very Hungry Cat by ilikescifi 2020-04-20T07:16:22Z

Great job! Had trouble getting new fish from the pond though, could only do it before the cat ate the starting fish. Otherwise very nice!

Keep The Blobs Alive by BilbyCoder 2020-04-20T06:13:21Z

Good job! Nice concept! Needs a bit of work on the controls and maybe some collisions on the nutrients so they dont overlap (making it hard to just collect the good ones).

Keep It Alive by Rakowu 2020-04-20T05:22:47Z

Well done! Loved the music! A good start to a secretive puzzle mechanic and mood, a tutorial would be nice as well.

BioBot by NotAfamousGuy 2020-04-21T18:03:02Z

Nice concept! I like the shield-drawing mechanic. Needs a bit of polish and some music but not bad for a 48-h game!

Soulbound by Fenderbate 2020-04-21T17:18:26Z

Awesome graphics and smooth execution. Great work!

Captain! Captain! by SuperGamersGames 2020-04-20T05:43:20Z

Nice! Loved the concept with the battery, had quite a few "oh shit" moments when I realized the entire dashboard ran out of power. It's Hard! Especially shooting. I might just be a bad shot, but having some more ammo and tuning down the difficulty in the start of the level would have been great from my perspective.

Brain Training 101 by DigitalLimestone 2020-04-20T07:32:07Z

Loved it, great concept and execution!

Harvest Season by Devesh Sharma 2020-04-21T16:42:49Z

Great game! Quite hard though, but alot of well-executed content for a jam-game! Well done!

Protect the Pup! by Maindric 2020-04-21T15:18:42Z

Good job! Managed to get a few minutes in and then a ship got stuck and no progress after that. Needs a bit of polish but had fun!

The IT by troll_hunterX 2020-04-20T06:01:11Z

Well done! Graphics are lovely. The difficulty needs to be tuned down in my opinion, had a hard time getting in to it due to this. Great job though!

Reload by Waqar Naeem 2020-04-21T17:34:55Z

Great work for your first game! Continue doing more of them, have fun, and you'll improve!

Thanks for giving it a try guys! @jetthesimon @wikers @viniflores @james-shipp

VAT - Very Astonishing Tubs by GeneralSturgeon 2020-04-20T06:20:46Z

@mudlee The stuff required varies from customer to customer, every customer has a preferred thing (ie. either Dream Dust or Ducks) and giving the preferred stuff will make the happiness(purple)-bar recharge alot quicker (saving your mouse from breaking down). Thanks for giving it a try!

Thanks for giving it a try @43sam!

Dragon Flower by timeloopedpowergamer 2020-04-20T06:52:44Z

Good job! Needs some moody sound. Liked the lore!

Keep My Keep Alive by Thooom 2020-04-20T06:02:54Z

Same here, link is dead:(

Keep My Keep Alive by Thooom 2020-04-20T07:01:28Z

Great job! Loved the artwork, especially the monsters. Needs some kind of quit button, otherwise a very nice game!

Dog Feeder by plantleaf 2020-04-19T19:30:21Z

Liked the concept, really helped when I realized you could use space to restart. Maybe a countdown timer or a button to release the balls would be nice. This way you could analyze the level a bit before. Loved the smoking dog:)

Dr. Statnil's Dodo Egg by Voidsay 2020-04-21T15:07:11Z

Well done! A bit dodgy controls for the precision needed but still fun! Liked the concept!

Little Restaurant of Horrors by Goldfish Games 2020-04-21T15:34:02Z

Fun concept! Liked the graphics and the story. Well done!

Hungry Flames by ViniFlores 2020-04-20T06:40:11Z

Loved the concept! Gets hard fast. Needs a little work on the movement and when the dark starts to creep in its really hard to make a comeback. Great job though!

Keep the Base Alive by Sebby Webby 2020-04-20T20:15:47Z

Well done! Feels like you've got a good base game to develop further from here, adding different enemy types and weapons maybe. Graphics were simple but very well executed. The music was a bit annyoing to be honest, big plus for the options menu though!

Beat-o-matic by greizgh 2020-04-20T20:29:53Z

Good job! Got alot harder when that second heart came into play:).

Organ Simulator by mneubrand 2020-04-20T20:22:11Z

Well done! Fun! Gets quite hard when the liver makes an entrance. Nice graphics and a wonderful concept!

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Deep Focus by StaNov 2021-04-26T18:06:54Z

Loved the music! Fun stuff! Tutorial was a bit small and hard to read when the game started playing (you know, even though I worked hard on concentration on it :P). Great work!

Pagemage by OrbitalBlueprint 2021-04-26T17:02:10Z

Creative concept and nice feel and sound to picking up and shooting letters! Quite hard as arya-s mentioned though. I would also propose adjusting the controls.

Great job!

Earigator by alec 2021-04-29T17:34:21Z

Lovely game! Really enjoyed the wiggly physics of the Q-tip and the music fit very well! Great job!

Deep Sea Diver by gimbalock 2021-04-26T17:36:26Z

Lovely mood! Kudos for trying a new engine for the first time during a LD-compo. Great work!

Jupiter II by Wheffle 2021-04-26T17:46:00Z

Really nice and moody! Would love to see even more stuff to scan! Great work!

A Shallow Dive by onnofal 2021-04-26T18:21:03Z

Lovely polish! All the feedback I can give is that I wanted more levels!

Dig Deeper by A0m1n3Zone 2021-04-29T17:39:06Z

Great job for getting this done in 5 hours. Really liked the parallaxing rocks on the sides!

LD48.DeepHunt by fabonacci 2021-04-26T18:27:01Z

Nice job! Liked the style of the graphics as well!

Tunnel Rats by GeneralSturgeon 2021-04-26T17:57:04Z

Thanks a bunch for checking it out and for the feedback! @panacea, @stuartc, @thoastbot, @linus-lindberg, @caue-henrique, @godsboss.

Tunnel Rats by GeneralSturgeon 2021-04-27T17:16:32Z

Thanks for checking it out @ristoretto, @onnofal and @wheffle. Appreciate the feedback!

Tunnel Rats by GeneralSturgeon 2021-04-27T17:18:42Z

@venezia Still happens to me even though I've been playtesting throughout the weekend:P. Thanks for trying it out!

Tunnel Rats by GeneralSturgeon 2021-04-30T13:44:41Z

Thanks @phthalogold, @kirbloid, @tim77 and @rngames for checking it out. Really appreciate the feedback!

Tunnel Rats by GeneralSturgeon 2021-05-01T15:31:08Z

@mighty-mufflon-games, @yeomsley, @woolchara: Thanks a bunch for trying it out! Glad you enjoyed it!

@gnevesdev: Deselecting the tutorial in the menu will give you only one short dialog before the action begins. Thanks for trying it!

@barelyevengames: Thank you so much for the very kind words and feedback! First time I ever saw someone I don't know play a game I've made. Felt a bit surreal but in a good way. Cheers a bunch for checking it out and including it in your stream!

Tunnel Rats by GeneralSturgeon 2021-05-01T21:05:32Z

@a0m1n3zone Thanks for trying it! You can skip the tutorial dialog by deselecting the tutorial box in the menu (it's on by default).

Tunnel Rats by GeneralSturgeon 2021-05-02T19:26:30Z

@bereg Thanks for the feedback and for checking it out!

Drills and Gadgets by RNGames 2021-04-30T14:19:23Z

Really liked it, got me hooked for a couple of runs! Nice sense of progression. Was a bit confusing at the start, maybe a more interactive tutorial would make the experience a bit more smooth. Great work!

Pretty Flower by ZeppelinGames 2021-04-29T17:44:25Z

Really nice art! Movement felt a little bit sluggish but i really enjoyed the fade in to color at the ending! Great job!

Nostril Navigator by Xenon27 2021-04-26T17:31:35Z

Loved the quirky take on the theme. Had me a good laugh! Great work!

Aftermath by Peace Of Cake Games 2021-04-27T17:57:42Z

Good job! Liked the creepy mood. As others have commented the text is a bit hard to read but i really liked the handdrawn font.

Crazy Fishing by Johnathan Peres 2021-04-26T18:10:59Z

Same thing here :(

Earth Diver by BarelyEvenGames 2021-04-30T13:49:38Z

Loved the music! Would be nice to add some kind of downside to fireing (I was just kept holding the button all the time), like a power bar of some sort. Otherwise nicely put together!

Todd the Caver by Sam Bigos 2021-04-29T17:58:02Z

Loved the concept! A tad too hard for my taste but lovely mood and graphics. Great work!

A Fairway Down! by Haydads 2021-04-27T17:42:21Z

Always love me a nice little golf game. The physics felt really snappy and nice. Good job!

Sid by Stuartc 2021-04-29T18:20:55Z

Loved the mood! Would like to see some smoother scene-transitions that doesn't interrupt the music when you die. Nice work!

Panda Prize Pusher by PhthaloGold 2021-04-27T17:14:27Z

Cute little game! Great for a first Compo entry! Would love if there was a bit more dynamic mechanics, maybe different sized pushers and more moving parts. Good job!

Dig Deep Get Gold by Tim77 2021-04-29T17:28:44Z

I really liked the flow of the gameplay. Would be nice if you added some extra obstables or three/four way splits. Good job!

Knee Deep in Magma by Venezia 2021-04-27T17:02:50Z

The player was neatly animated and rigged, looked really nice. Jumping felt a bit weird to be honest, might be better if it was a bit more snappy. Great job!

Fish for Meaning by Steve Johnstone 2021-04-27T17:28:16Z

Love the sub and shark models. Spawned right in front of the sharks a few times which was a bit unfair:P. Would like the controls to be a bit more snappy as well. Nice job for a first Compo!

Cat Sweeper by gnevesdev 2021-04-27T17:49:33Z

Nice take on the theme! Needs a bit of polish but a really nice job for pulling it off in 48h using C.

Drop Grave by Makeavoy 2021-04-27T16:52:41Z

Yeah i concur that the perspective was quite confusing, as you said it's not quite finished but at least a great start! Good job!

Help! I'm trapped in an arcade factory! by negabyte 2021-04-26T17:10:45Z

Lovely concept!

LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Gobbey wants to eat by bradur 2022-04-07T17:51:56Z

Had a nice relaxing time with Gobbey. Loved the concept, sound and mood. Alot of possibilies to add cozy stuff to do (cut down some palm-trees to make a fire and find a friend named Crabbey hiding in a coconut?:)) The fishing mechanic could be made a bit less punishing/more relaxing to fit the slow mood. Good job!

Carpentangle by Jimbly 2022-04-09T11:38:16Z

Great job! Unique take on the puzzle mechanic and solid throughout. Beeing nit-picky adding even more colors would have kept me playing for longer i think (tried the "easy mode" but still managed to pile the same color into a massive blob quite quickly :smile:). Well done!

Tree Protector by dusho 2022-04-09T12:08:34Z

Lovely models, especially the squirrel. Had a hard time aiming and the controls felt a bit sluggish but otherwise really well done!

The Great Horde by LCStark 2022-04-09T11:06:05Z

Really nice base for a strategy game! Ended up just hugging the castle and clicking at random enemies - would be nice to have some incentive to move around the map (upgrades? multiple castles?). Good job!

Moonshot by Diego Escalante 2022-04-09T12:29:02Z

Lovely atmosphere (pun intended) and narrative! Very solid entry. The controls felt a bit sluggish starting off but otherwise can't really come up with any constructive feedback. Great job!

Caravan to Empire by Hadryel 2022-04-09T10:56:14Z

Loved the idea! Could use a bit more clarity with how to fishish quests etc. Good job!

Don't Freeze by LudumDareDevil 2022-04-09T20:16:33Z

Great mood and graphics! Would have been a bit more intuitive to use the same button for picking up and throwing (got a bit confused at the start). Would also be cool if you added some kind of story element to it (dark example: picking up and burning old furniture, toys and clothes that remind you of your dead family?) Good job!

Papper by GeneralSturgeon 2022-04-07T17:40:16Z

@iguanana @roblaro @ideaspersecond Thanks for trying it out guys!

Papper by GeneralSturgeon 2022-04-07T20:36:55Z

@sinus Thanks for playing! I can only agree! @sokette Thanks for checking it out and for the feedback! Frankensteined the unity physics-system with some kind of pseudo-flight physics that I made up in a hypercaffeinated state. Tried to patch it up as good as I could😂. @angrybeard Cheers! Thanks for playing!

Papper by GeneralSturgeon 2022-04-09T20:04:33Z

@hadryel Thanks for playing:). @sleepystudios I fully agree with you - a simple case of running out of time to balance the pickups. They seem to mostly help you when in stable flight :laughing:. Cheers for trying it out! @mvasko2 I can only agree that a leaderboard would make a great addition. Thanks for checking it out! @binarydiv Good job! Thanks for giving it a try!

Papper by GeneralSturgeon 2022-04-12T11:15:37Z

@zimny11 @simba @dzejpi @diego-escalante Thanks for checking the game out and cheers for the feedback!

Camp Demise by rschoellgen 2022-04-09T11:17:33Z

Nice base for a creepy game - loved the atmosphere and surroundings but would have liked to see some more gameplay and story - just walked around and had a hard time finding anything to interact with. Anyway - good job for a compo game!

Ludum Dare by She Wrote 2022-04-07T17:32:28Z

Theme-wise a nice interpretetation. Some kind of explanation or tutorial would be great to start off with. I think I kind of got what to do after a couple of days but after that i just kept spinning the mouse around and that kind of boke the main mechanic. Maybe scale everything down and add some distance between the memories? Add some obstacles? Could make for a nice little whack-a-mole-platformer with a nice story. Good job!

Meteodate by DzejPi 2022-04-09T12:41:59Z

This was a fun one! Definitely game me Hitchhiker's vibes. Great job!

Stacktics by Sam Bigos 2022-04-09T11:48:52Z

Great job! Solid throughout and especially polish-wise. Mechanically I would have loved to see the inevitable gray wall of death jump back a bit when destroying the blocks(or maybe just some of them) to have a chance to frantically throw some more on top. Really well done!

Pixel-Panic by IdeasPerSecond 2022-04-07T18:08:14Z

Great concept, execution and polish. You really nailed the "juice". Well done!

Pain survival by spounka346 2022-04-07T17:39:15Z

A really nice base for a fun arcade-style top-down-shooter. I would spice it up with some polished art, effects and some screenshake. Good job!

Keep Cool by Nebiros 2022-04-09T12:49:28Z

Great job! Loved the character art! Controls felt a bit off - the snappiness was there but the level was a bit punishing. Anyway - solid entry!

Always Dying by eggsscrambled 2022-04-09T12:01:59Z

Loved the polish and "juice"! Was quite hard to get a grip on the jumping and it felt punishing right form the start - would love to se a more gradual increase in difficulty. Great job!

Stuck In Space by ThatRandomProgrammer 2022-04-09T12:54:00Z

Solid entry! Felt polished throughout. Would have loved for it to be a bit more forgiving in the start. Great work!

Over the Rainbow Bridge by Iguanana 2022-04-07T17:57:19Z

As many have said before - this hit me right in the feels. Needs a bit of polish here and there but a great emotional ride. Great job!

Spilling Cups by Mensio 2022-04-09T11:25:17Z

Lovely idea - really liked the concept. My experience was that connecting the cups was a bit cumbersome (as pressing 2 only showed me where to connect and when i clicked the UI for it disappeared). Overall nice job but maybe needs a bit more polish on the controls.

RUNOUT by RobLaro 2022-04-07T18:02:04Z

Lovely concept! Had a couple of nice little runs! Would be cool to add boosters and obstacles as you get further. Great job!

Snooze by the_nacho 2022-04-09T13:03:54Z

Lovely idea! Sound didn't work for me sadly. An indicator for when the fingers are over the button would also be nice. Good job!
