LD44 — Your life is currency

Lifeless by Kaisean Games 2019-05-05T15:08:40Z

Wow! Did not expect that at all! Great experience and the message at the end fits the theme perfectly. Amazing music, idea and style! Love the colored low-poly elements at the bottom :D

Entity Manipulation by JCMonkey 2019-04-29T14:20:34Z

Great puzzle design! Music could be a bit better, but better than none (like my game -.-). Good visuals and controls. Feels like a complete game :D

Game Dev Life by Neowedge 2019-05-02T19:48:50Z

Hahaha. Cool game of life :D First time I only did crap jobs after I went independent. I always lost money, so I tried studying hard next time. I died at age 29, and was found dead at the university that way. (~_~)\ Loved the humour, and the way the character evolves. Really fun game!

Try to live by Remicy 2019-04-29T13:06:32Z

Very hard, but fits the theme. Visuals and audio fit together nicely. The button rects in the center row are a bit too large though. If I wanted to hit "Buy oxygen", I almost always hit "Buy Air Tank". After I found out how to survive longer, I actually "tried living" ^.^ Nicely done!!

Space Crusaders by dreadzilla 2019-04-29T01:53:29Z

Played it through. Nice game! Sure, it's short... but that's ok! It's longer than my game (didn't have time to add more levels). You should consider adding arrow keys for steering. Then you could use both hands. Found it a bit hard to shoot and move with the same hand. Nice work!!

Battery is here to stay by Aterlamia 2019-05-02T19:17:20Z

Yay, another Godot user \\(^o^)/ This is a fantastic game!! Music was a bit repetitive, but better than no music at all. Character animations looked amazing and felt very nice. Sure there are some bugs (inventory and hitboxes), but for 48 hours this is an amazing title. Which tool did you use for the animations? Spriter?

Battery is here to stay by Aterlamia 2019-05-02T19:36:07Z

Thanks @aterlamia. I didn't know that Godot even has such a cool animation and state machine editor. Just looked it up. It even supports custom blend modes. Now I love Godot even more!. Will play around with this next time :D Cheers mate

Use your heart by dick-claus 2019-05-02T18:45:27Z

What a cool idea! Liked the turn based approach. Would have loved to play more levels. But looks like you had the same problem as me (my game also has only 2 levels). Nice graphics and the music really ROCKS. Great job :D

AUTOTRANSPORT by C1FR1 2019-05-02T18:33:20Z

Wow! This done in 48 hours is CRAZY!! Great Job. I was glad, that I installed java for this. The game has an amazing style and vibe. Really liked the look of the transport ship and the UI. Your escort game is MUCH less annoying than mine :P The voice-overs fit perfectly for the mood. Had some Starglider/Elite flashbacks while playing it. Way to hard for me though... I always failed after the first couple of asteroids. Great game!!

Time World by Dreamer 2019-04-29T12:49:02Z

Holy... now I need something cheerful (~.~)\ You nailed the mood perferctly. Mostly through the amazing music! After some time I tried to kill this green ***** at the end of the hill, but died in the process -.-. Great job!

War Crimes by Oivin F 2019-05-02T18:15:28Z

UPGRAAAADES!! I liked getting stronger. It is a pretty steep curve in the beginning though. I found either no or to many enemies most of the time. Really impressive for 48 hours! Music was repetitive, but didn't annoy me at all. Awesome graphics and fx. Nice one :D

Blood Cards by wrimo 2019-05-05T14:45:09Z

Cool game! UI was a bit hard to read. Really liked the enemy sprites. Should have gone all pixel art :D Gameplay was great. A background tune would have helped a lot to establish the mood. Nice job!

Happiness Life by ManTou 2019-05-02T17:59:42Z

Wow, so much assets in such a short time. Art and sounds were really good! Also very nice gameplay. I bought everything and died after going out on a date... well that's pretty much life I guess (~_~)\. Great job!!

Plant-iverse by coatline 2019-04-29T01:17:05Z

Hi there \\(^o^)/,

really cool idea! I ended up flying like crazy and just mashing F though (~_~)\. Is there an ending condition? I stacked a bunch of people and houses, but nothing more happens. Nice going!

Lifeline Loot by JSD 2019-05-05T15:39:35Z

Amazing game!! I loved it! Nice minimalistic artstyle. Really liked how the cars looked. And that crazy 80s music!! I really enjoyed it. Died after 5min or so after falling of a tall building and being devoured by the tax collectors (~_~)\ Very fun game! :thumbsup:

Love Your Heart by teo989 2019-05-05T15:51:21Z

Cool game! Nice simplistic artstyle. Gameplay felt very responsive and fluid. Really good level design too! Would have loved to play more levels. (Assuming the green platform with hearts was the end). Great work :thumbsup:

Humanmarketing by JK studio 2019-05-01T15:10:03Z

Hahaha.. I like your humor!! After I had a good life on the very first time (can't remember my choices), I tried living a good life by just playing games and watching netflix 'n youtube... like in real life (~_~)\ ... but I failed many times. I hope that is not an omen :P Really cool game!

TheMechanizedHero by RustyCrow 2019-04-29T12:30:58Z

Wow! Really cool game. Amazing visuals and smooth gameplay. Liked the Easy-Mode joke ^-^

Coin Puzzles by Mika la Grand 2019-05-01T15:38:36Z

Wow, love the art! Music is a bit repetitive but the rest is pretty impressive! Nice concept :D

Rent is Due by JakobTheQuizGuy 2019-05-02T19:31:50Z

Had a lot of fun with your game. Humour is great!! Why is he snailman?? Because he always pays his rent so late? Very funny story and game. Great graphics, animations and fx. A bit too grindy for my taste, but all in all a very polished game. Just add sound and music and it's a complete game. Nice job!!

The Adventures of Bileous by LyghtningWither 2019-05-02T07:03:16Z

Thank you for this game :D It really took me back to my childhood when I played Adventure on the Atari for the first time. Yes, I am that old :( Great game design. I couldn't stop until beating the game. And when the timer was done and I still had to wait for the door to open, I kinda panicked (~_~)\ Good music too. Nice job!

Fair n Square by DaniDev 2019-04-29T12:24:13Z

Wow, great job! Really nice visuals and fx. Liked the music the most, great job!

Grand Theft ATP by Erudis 2019-05-01T15:18:33Z

Really cool puzzler! Sound is awesome :D I really had to laugh. Feels quite polished for 48h :thumbsup: Nicely done!

Super Annoying Escort Mission by Gideon 2019-04-29T12:35:50Z

@danidev Thanks for the kind words ^-^!

Super Annoying Escort Mission by Gideon 2019-04-29T13:23:54Z

@erudis I had that issue sometimes under linux with chromium. Firefox should work.

Super Annoying Escort Mission by Gideon 2019-04-29T14:06:04Z

@lubaka Thank you for playing and the positive feedback! Sorry I crashed your browser -.- Think I need to upload a fixed HTML5 version. (~_~)\

Super Annoying Escort Mission by Gideon 2019-04-30T07:21:53Z

Thank you very much @rustycrow !! What a totally unexpected reaction. I would have loved to add more levels. But I didn't even have time to polish anything... or add music (I actually finished a track, but it sounded soooo cheesy that I left it out). Time was really flying in the end (~_~)\ Cheers mate!

Super Annoying Escort Mission by Gideon 2019-04-30T07:27:21Z

@mika-la-grand Thank you! Yeah I didn't manage to finish the navigation mesh with houdini in time. So... I ended up with stupid-move-mode (~_~)\. The guy you are protecting gives you money as long as he is alive btw. I know it's not a very good interpretation of the theme. Thank you for playing :D

Super Annoying Escort Mission by Gideon 2019-04-30T07:29:03Z

Thanks for playing @dreamer !! So when I finish the game maybe will have the difficulty settings "easy", "hard" and "master of lol" :P Glad you liked it!

Super Annoying Escort Mission by Gideon 2019-05-02T18:02:28Z

@mantou Thanks for the feedback! Yeah you are right (~_~)\, it is fruststrating. I wanted to have multiple levels and then restart at the current level. But I didn't manage to finish that in time.

Super Annoying Escort Mission by Gideon 2019-05-05T15:14:03Z

@wrimo Yepp, these are all valid proposals which would make the game better. I underestimated how fast time runs when you hit a roadblock (even a minor one). Thanks for playing!

Super Annoying Escort Mission by Gideon 2019-05-05T15:22:12Z

@kaisean-games Hahahaa... yeah I changed the behaviour for the soldier like 15min before the 48h mark. The list of targets would mutate by distance to enemies. But something went wrong and I didnt find the bug in time. So I reverted to stupid fifo logic and ended up with soldiers shooting at walls (~_~)\ Luckily I'm not in charge of programming flight computers :P Your game ROCKS btw!!

MoneyBag by Chameleon 2019-05-02T18:55:22Z

Cool puzzle mechanic! Liked the idea and the aesthetics! The octopus is soooo cute :D If it had music too, it would feel like a complete game. Very polished. Had a lot of fun playing it. Amazing work!

Money Heist by dmdmdmdm 2019-04-29T01:58:24Z

Nice game! I like the iso view. I merely stole 216k -_-. Good work!

Heartful Decisions by Lubaka 2019-04-29T13:19:43Z

It's really heavy to get syphillis when you are 142 ^.^ Very cool concept, and a creative title. My ocd forces me to attack all spikey ones though. :D

Mortal: the fate of cells by pwroff 2019-04-29T12:15:15Z

Really cool idea! Liked the blodd cell mission the most. Fun game!!

Boxes Rush by Mia Devs 2019-05-01T15:27:09Z

Great job! Jumping was a bit laggy but otherwise it felt really fluid :D Like the simple aesthetics and the music. And I LOVED how cool the minimap looks!!

Seeds Of Life by PixScope 2019-05-05T14:55:28Z

Amazing graphics!! I love the artstyle and the feeling of the game. Felt really polished! The squish sounds were quite funny :D Also... I think this is the ONLY flash entry I saw so far. Just installing flash for it brought back a lot of nice memories. Thanks!
