Shaman Strike! by owca 2024-04-15T10:04:00Z ♥ 2

fun. would appreciate using keys to select colours instead of frantically clicking. do the upgrades just make the projectiles larger? isn't that a disadvantage? soundtrack is great

Get Rich or Dive Trying by Human Writes Code 2021-04-27T09:12:26Z ♥ 2

AN INTERESTING AND UNIQUE CONCEPT. ART IS FANTASTIC; MUSIC IS GREAT. CONTROLS ARE CONFUSING. I BELIEVE COMMENTER 'Yword' IS CORRECT IN THAT THE SHIP SHOULD BE NAVIGATED WITH THE MOUSE. I LIKE THE DICTIONARY OF WORDS FOR TREASURE AND RECRUITABLE SAILORS. IS IS IMMERSIVE. THE GAME SHOW PROMISE AS A MANAGEMENT SIMULATOR, HOWEVER THERE IS NOT ENOUGH TO MANAGE. PERHAPS ADD MORE THINGS TO MICROMANAGE THAT CAN BE DONE WHILE YOUR CREW IS DIVING FOR TREASURE. I DISAGREE WITH COMMENTER 'FabiGhindaru' - THE STORY IS NOT GENERIC BUT TIMELESS. THE GREED OF BANKERS IS ETERNAL AND IT DOES WELL TO REMIND THE PLAYER THAT WEALTH SHOULD NOT BE MARKED BY NUMBERS IN A LEDGER, BUT BY GOLD AND SHINY TRINKETS, PREFERABLY BURIED, OR IN SOME KIND OF HOARD.

Dwoblins by oligue 2021-04-27T08:50:40Z ♥ 2

A VERY INTERESTING CONCEPT. AS IT STANDS, THE GAME IS QUITE SIMPLE; I WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY FLEE MY GOBLIN PURSUERS AND ESCAPE INTO THE EARTH, AFTER WHICH, THE GOBLIN'S LOST MY SCENT AND I WAS FREE TO PLUNDER THE GAIA'S RICHES. I BELIEVE WITH SOME MORE TIME THIS WOULD MAKE FOR AN ENTERTAINING ARCADE GAME. GOOD JOB. P.S KILLING GOBLINS SHOULD CAUSE THE PLAYER TO LOSE GOLD, AS THEY MUST PAY REPARATIONS TO THE DECEASED GOBLIN'S WIDOW(S).

Delevator by guladam 2021-04-27T08:35:17Z ♥ 2

INTERESTING AND FAITHFUL TAKE ON THE THEME; CLEAN, CONSISTENT GRAPHICS; GOOD MUSIC & SOUND. IT IS NOT FUN BUT I DO NOT THINK IT IS MEANT TO BE FUN. THE GAME EXPLORES ADDICTION AND SELF DESTRUCTION. UNFORTUNATELY IT IS TOO SHORT TO DELVE INTO THESE COMPLICATED THEMES AND WE ARE INSTEAD LEFT WITH A SUPERFICIAL CAUTIONARY TALE THAT HARKENS BACK TO CLASSIC PROPAGANDA FILMS, SUCH AS 'Reefer Madness' (1936). DEVELOPER guladam SHOWS TENACITY BY CHOOSING TO CREATE SUCH AN AMBITIOUS GAME WITH ONLY 72 SHORT HOURS TO WORK WITH. I EAGERLY AWAIT TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GIVEN THEIR OWN TIME.

LD46 — Keep it alive (25)

Tutu Tussle by GabrielH 2020-04-23T04:06:07Z ♥ 1

Very cute game :). I actually appreciated the slower pace, gave more time to premeditate my landings. Would love to see a few more enemies/mechanics.

Stress Ball by Sinamon 2020-04-22T13:30:54Z ♥ 1

Interesting take on the theme, and the stress mechanic elevates the gameplay. Very cool :)

Root Quest by thebreakfast 2020-04-22T11:14:25Z ♥ 1

Fantastic game. I was going to say that the dungeon crawling is frustrating as the direction wasn't clear, but the root-trail creates an Ariadne's thread style solution; very cool!

Zen Watering by Gao Ming 2020-04-22T10:48:00Z ♥ 0

Nice game :) I was a little confused when my plant ran away from me. Very zen thank you

Keep her alive, please.. by Sublustris 2020-04-22T10:42:33Z ♥ 1

I tried to keep her alive, but this game is challenging! Great job with the sprites and the background; very aesthetic. I think you could benefit from reducing the RNG element. Maybe have a set pattern, so the player can get better over time.

Holy Plague by Adrien Dittrick 2020-04-22T10:33:05Z ♥ 3

"This entire city must be purged"

10/10 this is an awesome take on "Keep it Alive". Needless to say the sprite work is fantastic, and sound design is spot on. Gameplay is sufficiently challenging, and the story keeps things interesting. Great job!

Mad Sorcerer's Garden by AsgardHeavy 2020-04-22T04:18:56Z ♥ 0

Cool game :). Was refreshing to see the tutorial baked into the game. Love the concept; theme was spot on. I think there's a lot of potential here, just wish it was longer!

Mothership by Wet_Band-Aid 2020-04-21T12:44:19Z ♥ 1

Very neat game. I love your art style; that opening cut scene was great! Gameplay was unique, and surprisingly fun once you got the hang of it. Good job!

Lighthouse by Lukvasando 2020-04-21T12:34:15Z ♥ 1

Very well put together. Sprites are great, and the effects (lighting from torches, smoke from pipe) are very cool. I found the pace to be very slow, I think you could benefit from making the first levels more challenging. (Also it appears you can still shoot while refueling)

Keep IT Alive by anhel 2020-04-21T12:25:38Z ♥ 3

Very interesting concept. I like how you took the challenge literally :) Game is very smooth, and well designed. My one gripe is I don't like how the direction of the streams automatically revert. I think it would be better to give the player a reason to change the direction of the stream, rather than be constantly resetting it back to the initial state.

Fire Keeper by Darenn 2020-04-21T09:23:34Z ♥ 3

Superb little game. Gameplay is simple yet challenging. The sprites are fantastic! Fits the theme of the comp perfectly. The audio clip when taking damage was a little jarring, but apart from that everything was great. Good job :)

Big Bee Bigby by curtamyth 2020-04-21T05:17:59Z ♥ 2

BIG BEES BIG ACTION Rad game my friend. Love the art, and that background tune is gnarly (would love to hear what effects you put over it).

Keep Her Alive by Jani Penttinen 2020-04-21T05:08:05Z ♥ 1

Had no idea what was going on; got savaged by an elephant. Superb take on the theme! Well done!!

VampySitter by MacDoom 2020-04-21T05:06:58Z ♥ 1

All 5 stars across the board baby; this game is perfect. Once I figured out the controls, I had a blast. Fell out of my chair laughing when the vampire first jumped down a pit. Absolutely nailed the theme; most creative submission so far.

Kevin the Can by BoltKey 2020-04-21T04:54:46Z ♥ 1

Fun game, great job with the theme, and I love the voice lines. Everything about this game screams charm.

A Desperate Theif by Jack Maxwell 2020-04-21T04:31:47Z ♥ 1

Interesting take on the theme, but I did not really see it manifest in the game. I felt like I was robbing a bank, and collecting stimpacks just to compete with the bank's defenses. Graphics are nice, but gameplay is a little clunky. It appears I can just keep buying bullets in between levels (the money wasn't deducted from my balance).

Garden Guardian by LeYamez 2020-04-21T04:25:21Z ♥ 1

Simple tower defense game. Aesthetic sprites, and fits the theme perfectly. Balancing needs some work, but overall good game :).

Restartigrade by Ezra Szanton 2020-04-21T04:14:08Z ♥ 1

Fantastic. If only it were longer!

Dr. Noid's Perfect Creature by RyanJavanshir 2020-04-21T04:08:41Z ♥ 1

Very cool game :). I found the hand difficult to operate, but I think that's part of the game's charm. I struggled to tell if I'd managed to pick up the food, and Is there any feedback on how hungry the fish is? Everything else was fin. Great job on the graphics. Nailed the theme!

Sacred Gardener by Hanamigi 2020-04-21T04:00:24Z ♥ 1

This is so aesthetic I love this so much. Instructions were really neat. Sprite design is fantastic. Audio is great (even the repeating tune is perfect for the game).

Only complaint is: The plants need more feedback. On my first playthrough I watered both evenly and didn't see a change in either plant.

Well done :)

jumpgolf by torcado 2020-04-21T03:53:39Z ♥ 0

Much potential here as a 'Getting Over It' style game. Very polished feel; audio and sprite design is great. I adore the melodic notes that play when you make a new checkpoint. I think you could have expanded on the theme; I don't feel like I am keeping a golf-ball alive (can a golf-ball be alive? What is life anyway??).

Scrappalooza TV [LD46] by Coord 2020-04-21T03:46:03Z ♥ 0

The car is difficult to control. The sprites are nice, but unfortunately create a confusing perspective. The 'forward' direction of the car is not immediately obvious. The ticker messages are very cool :).

AntOhNo by Rednaxelus 2020-04-21T03:38:03Z ♥ 1

A fun mini-game, would slot well into a Wario-Ware style metagame :).

ALL CAPS: The Incident at Puppy Canyon by KyMakesGames 2020-04-21T03:35:18Z ♥ 1

Very cool, reminds of me of 'Typing of the Dead'. Sound design is excellent. Unfortunately I do not see the theme of the comp manifest in this game.

Karot Fetus by Dawide 2020-04-21T03:29:54Z ♥ 2

Very aesthetic & thematic. Cool music and sprites well done :-)
