Sacrifices Must Be Made by danman9914 2018-12-10T21:23:46Z

WOW! Very moody game! Loved everything! Loved the gameplay, the story, the balance, the art, the sounds, the opponent, the theme... Perfectly integrated tutorial also. You learn everything you need to know in the first moves and later while playing when new concepts are introduced! Can get really tough decision making also, which is nice! 5/5 from me! Only thing I missed was to be able to change the screens via mousewheel. Add this and for me its a solid perfect game! Thank you so much for the joy! :)

Duplicube by joewan 2018-12-04T21:25:05Z

Great! Really loved the game. The most fun I played so far this LD!

Demon Queen's Possessions by joh 2018-12-06T22:26:42Z

Great game! Most addicting game so far for me this LD! It is really difficult and I like it. At some points you really have to let go of valuable units to get further. Argh! :) Really great concept. Graphics and sound are not my favourite but the gameplay is superb. I got to round 12 but not giving up! :)

My Little Cultist - Sacrifice is Magic - Babby's First Eldritch Ritual edition by homeworld 2018-12-10T19:26:55Z

Love the handdrawn graphic style! Overall really great work!

Mayan Headache by Constantin 2018-12-04T21:56:53Z

Love the idea! Great puzzle game fits perfectly for the theme, fun to play and looking good.

Bla v Raa : Eternal God Battle Brothers by ragtagradical 2018-12-10T22:14:34Z

Great stuff! Love the user generated content concept! Hard to find out what you have to do in the beginning, but that is part of it I guess! I started in this weird world cramped with platforms and launchers and coins and had to find out what to do meanwhile having a lot of fun! :) Thanks for that!

Twist of Souls by franfox 2018-12-05T13:31:14Z

Beautiful and fun game. Liked it very much! Had a few crashes on Windows unfortunately...

Twist of Souls by franfox 2018-12-11T21:43:46Z

I am on Windows 10. Hope that helps... :|

Whatever it takes by Sir. Syko 2018-12-04T19:35:53Z

Nice! Feels like a good prototype to develop further. It took me a while to understand how the weapon works. Overall nice and fun!

Sacrificio Inc. by Reality Blind 2018-12-04T21:37:58Z

Well done! Incredible work. Super fun and polished! Nothing to critizise!

Ropasquib by Groggi 2018-12-04T14:46:43Z

Thank you so much to you all! :)

Ropasquib by Groggi 2018-12-06T19:44:11Z

@joh Thank you so much for your nice and valuable feedback. Appreciate it! Yes, I was thinking about making the sacrifice option more obvious with some kind of hint or tooltip. I guess most people didnt notice at all... :) Finally I didn't have the time and energy to implement it and thought its ok that people have to find out by playing like you did. Maybe in the future I will implement an info-button if I catch some time. Thanks again, going to test your game now!

Altruist Project by syverlauritz 2018-12-04T16:52:57Z

The mood worked perfectly! I liked the style and simple approach. The randomness is definately something to work on. But well done!

Battery Blitz by CeeJap 2018-12-10T20:53:28Z

Got 1507 Points. Nice and simple concept. Liked the feel of it and had some fun. Thank you! :)

Satellite Impact by Lucc 2018-12-04T19:48:07Z

Really clever game concept! In my opinion you should work on the pacing. It fealt reeealy slow in the beginning. At around 10000 to 11000 points, it startet to feel right. Before it was just too easy. Maybe there should be multiple asteroids at the same time from different directions more often, because I really just needed one satellite at a time... Nevertheless it was really fun to play.

Can't save them all! by lilou_cormic 2018-12-06T20:24:54Z

I liked the little game! Its very simple and fun and has an interesting concept! :)

SacPac Inc. by pfs 2018-12-04T21:50:52Z

Loved the physics and gameplay idea. It was getting really frustrating from time to time because the little guy didn't want to go faster. But overall really pretty and fun game!

I don't wanna die by Eduard Xue 2018-12-10T18:24:39Z

Love the art and character design! The controls are a bit frustrating. Maybe the cards should be playable without delay to make for a more dynamic gameplay? Overall great potential!

Lay Down Your Roots by NotExplosive 2020-05-13T17:05:13Z

Wow! I can not believe how similar our ideas were! But yours is definately a more polished and complete entry. Well done! I saw it right now in the results page, congratulations for the great results! I had a lot of fun playing it. Beautiful game!

Edit: Something I was working on but had to scrap due to lack of experience was the plant movement you got integrated so beautifully. I tried to use a physics library but could not wrap my head around. Maybe we could have an exchange about what techniques you used, I would be super interested. Thanks!

P1 - 5NT by MiltonNH25 2020-04-26T17:25:49Z

Hey, pretty cool game! I digged the puzzle part of the researcher game mode. It is kind of cool how you integrated the surrounding setting even though as I played longer it felt as if a simpler user interface would have been better. Maybe you could do a more detailed menu and for the game zoom in to just the table? Sorry if that sounds confusing! All in all a fun game and solid jam entry! Keep it on!

Frying Nemo by ytaha 2020-04-30T16:31:37Z

Really cute and fun. Seems as the little guys also had fun in the pan ;) It got slightly frustrating sometimes, when the grabbing didn't work, but I guess that is part of the game! Well done!

Protector Of Zinoth by Sinci1 2020-05-08T23:38:42Z

Finally got the time to test your game.

Great job. Smooth movements, nice and simple gameplay. Actually had fun playing this and I somehow really enjoyed the sounds :D

MiniDrone by Rewzu 2020-04-26T14:23:21Z

Nice and relaxing. Loved Sound and Music and graphics! I think one thime I got hit by the meteorites which felt a bit unfair because I didn't see it coming. Overall a really nice entry!

Just Jammin' by Darkeye 2020-05-11T11:12:37Z

Great job! Nice style and characters, fitting music and sounds. And pretty challenging, my zombie developer kept dying and I did not understand why. Overall pretty complete experience! Thanks!

Me: Tree! by Groggi 2020-04-24T07:10:22Z

@benbonk Thank you! Appreciate your feedback!

@offz Thank you so much for your detailed feedback and ideas. Yes, definately the balancing is way off and the gameplay needs more variety. :) I will try and imrpove on things in the near future and post a link on an improved version.

Me: Tree! by Groggi 2020-04-26T09:08:25Z

@scott-steffes Thank you for your feedback and kind words!

@emperor-eagle @pee-thief @loveapplegames Thanks to you all for playing the game! I definately have to tackle the performance for when the tree gets bigger.

Me: Tree! by Groggi 2020-05-07T22:03:52Z

@henrycgs Thank you for your detailed feedback! It really helped! Yes, the two points you mentioned are correct: The jam version is really unbalanced and laggy. :/ I tried to tackle this in my newest version, although its still not perfect. It is really difficult for me to get the balancing right. Needs a lot of testing!

@despdair Thank you for you feedback! I am thinking about expanding the UI a bit further, but for the moment branching is always the same cost, so not much to see there. :)

@acgaudette Thank you for your nice feedback and valuable thoughts!

@sinci1 Thank you for your kind words and ideas! In the newest version I added the new ressource nutrients, since I felt I needed that to get a better balancing. Still work in progress though. I thought about your idea to increase the costs for branching if your tree gets bigger. Definately something I will consider.

@the-martijn Thank you so much!

@blackmoodgames Thank you for your feedback and tips! I improved performance in the newest version, although it is still getting laggy later on. I didnt dive into performance boosting strategies to much but I will in the future!

@infinite Thanks for your thoughts! Actually the slower beginning is intentional, but I see that in the jam version the balancing fot that is still off...

Me: Tree! by Groggi 2020-05-12T20:37:14Z

Thank you all for your kind words and valuable feedback! I feel proud and motivated for what I have learned and achieved and I hope for all of you that you feel the same and had a good experience this Ludum Dare! Thanks and until next time!! <3

Me: Tree! by Groggi 2020-05-16T11:23:53Z

Hey @notexplosive, thanks for your feedback! Definately will take it into account. I was cutting down energy production of leaves because before it was too easy to get energy which resulted in gameplay pretty much only below ground. I wanted to encourage people to grow more above ground ;). Maybe it is too much now.

Feels really crazy how similar our ideas where. ;) I'll try to get connected on twitter, maybe we can chat on. See you.

Anatomic Mayhem by henrycgs 2020-05-08T23:23:44Z

Finally got the time to test your game! Absolutely fantastic! 5 Stars from me. Loved everything.

Sunlit by palsina 2020-04-29T22:21:33Z

Really cool! We really had similar ideas. I love your approach! ;) Initially I also planned to give my game the goal of reaching as high as possible, but unfortunately had to scrab it midway. So cool to see you have done that. Really nice and relaxing gameplay, love the animations and style of your tree! Thank you for the experience!

Slimekeep by BenBonk 2020-05-08T23:20:05Z

Finally got the chance to test your game. I think I can not add any new feedback, so just some motivation: Nice and simple! Good job! Loved the art style! Keep it on!

ZenTuree by wischi 2020-04-26T17:36:28Z

So cool to see someone has also made a tree game! Loved your simple approach and game idea! Pretty satisfying to see the tree growing (had to go with the Non-Zen-s Mode unfortunately)

SkyRoots Ultra by Giome 2020-05-11T11:23:05Z

Nice graphics and interesting concept! The controls felt a bit weird, is the player not supposed to walk or was this a bug for me? If the player is not allowed to walk, maybe the dash should be more controllable. So one could control how far to jump. It also felt weird that I kept falling through the stem. :)

Other than that I had some fun and I see potential. Thanks for the experience!

a plant called martha by Tetralogia 2020-04-26T17:47:09Z

Cute! I did not understand why the game ended for me. It was just like: Game Over. But I felt I had Martha pretty well fed, watered and entertained... Also the pots perspective was a bit off? Other than that a pretty nice and calming game. Thank you for the experience!

Breaking Egg by Mulberg 2020-04-24T06:57:02Z

That time, when you crack your egg just the second before reaching the nest! Love the simplicity of the game mechanic. With just two contols you got a pretty fun game. And thats the important part for a jam I think. Of course you could improve camera and graphics and stuff, but the concept is great.

Well done!

Keep a Plant by KDgame 2020-05-08T23:10:14Z

Really fun, fast paced and challenging! Maybe the game could be a little bit more forgiving, for example you could make it that the meteors really have to hit the plant, not just touch it. And to make it still challenging, the rotation could be around the planet, not the plant, so that the player would need lot more mouse movement to defend.

Loved the dancing plant animation ;)

SaladFactory by Sabatiel 2020-04-26T18:00:41Z

Wow. Polished and fun! The problems I encountered: - if every item you let slip without cutting and every item you cut wrong give you -1 why shoudn't I just spam click and try to cut as many as I could without even watching? Resulted that this method got me the most points ;) - Sometimes items disappeared from the list on the left and sometimes they didn't even though I cut them. Maybe that is a bug? - Sometimes the knife went right through an item but didn't cut it which was a bit frustrating.

Other than that pretty solid and really fun game. Thanks for the experience!

The Dogsanity Abusive Experience by blackmoodgames 2020-05-08T23:34:27Z

Finally got the time to test your game. Great job! Loved the art style and simple gameplay and that you included story elements. Definately helps to get you in the right mood. Keep it on! Bobby should do more sports.

light. by Szivacs 2020-04-30T16:20:34Z

Really cool and moody game! I loved how the music corresponds with the collisions. Would be nice if you could get some visual Feedback on the status of the orb, maybe it could slightly become smaller with every hit? Great concept, thanks for the experience!

Roots Puzzle by wdebowicz 2021-05-02T21:56:23Z

Wow, great concept and cute little puzzle game! We had a similar idea but different aproaches. I really like your take on it! My only advice would be to give the minerals a different color. I had to always double check which is which because water and minerals are both a shade of blue.

Everything else is great and I enjoyed it. Thanks for that!

Downward Frog by GogglesKitty 2021-05-01T22:41:25Z

Really cute and challenging! I love the intro of frog jumping into the pool. Maybe the second time playing it should start down the drain already, so you dont have to wait too long to replay. First time really great timing, made me anticipate.

The game itself felt really challenging for me. I dont know how I was supposed to pass some of the weird fish.

But nevertheless I really liked it!!

Manic Miner by ryannielson 2021-05-01T22:35:10Z

I got to 223. I really love the aesthetics. I think the game could benefit from a bit more variety. I dont know if it was your choice or lack of time you did not implement more "items". There could be something that at first glance resembles an air bubble, but does effect you in other ways to mix up the challenge. Nevertheless really great overall!

Hellevator Operator by _for_science 2021-05-09T10:57:42Z

Wow, one of my favorites! I am always impressed when I see games made in a jam that are so polished and well made. For me it is perfect as is. Simple and fun! Full points ;)

Undermined by Alex Davies 2021-05-01T22:57:26Z

Very nice! This was as much fun as tetris!

I had a similar idea but I am so happy you did this, because I wouldnt have made it that good!

Thanks for the good time.

Me:Tree! - New Roots by Groggi 2021-05-01T15:57:02Z

@art-ether Thanks for your kind words and for playing my game! @erkanec Wow! Thanks a lot! I hope it was not the first game you played this Ludum Dare ;) @woolchara Thanks for trying out my game. Creative mode should work like normal. The problem is, that you do not receive any feedback starting the game in this mode. You have to drag from your seed in order to grow your new branches and roots. Feel free to try it out again!

Me:Tree! - New Roots by Groggi 2021-05-02T15:41:40Z

@jrevel Thanks a lot for your feedback and your hint to the bug in firefox! Would have had trouble finding that out.

@kiptok @emiliabea @dankar Thanks for your kind words!

@wizard-sino @saintchristopher777 @maniulo @okamit @aboogoost @mololo I am really sorry you all had to suffer because of my bad programming and balancing! But thanks to you for pointing out the problems so I could fix them!

@fawnblue Thanks a lot for your nice feedback and suggestions.

I will play and rate all your games! Thanks a lot to you all for playing my game.

Me:Tree! - New Roots by Groggi 2021-05-06T20:23:12Z

@leekanarchism Thank you for your positive Feedback. I was thinking about implementing some kind of puzzle element like other trees blocking the light or animals that would eat your roots...

@verygenuinecraze Wow! Thank you so much, that is awesome to hear!

@mikoziq Thank you for your feedback. I really appreciate that. The UI definately needs some work!

@bernardex That is so cool. Hearing that you spent so much time in my game and enjoyed. Feels great! Thank you!

@boclow Thank you! I already gave some feedback on your impressive game. I really enjoyed it. :)

@olddog Thank you so much! Keep on trying ;)

@waltsontanaka Thank you for your feedback and pointing out the sound design. I am not a sound guy and have no experience with sound design. I have not thought about it, but I should work on this or maybe get some help. Your game definately has some great sound design! :)

Me:Tree! - New Roots by Groggi 2021-05-07T06:08:44Z

@cameron-paxton Thank you! Actually this was a Jam release and I had most of the code as foundation from LD46 so not that impressive! ;)

Me:Tree! - New Roots by Groggi 2021-05-11T17:51:59Z

@trevor-hayes Thanks for pointing out the bug. Will look into it!

@digital-bacon Thank you! :)

Me:Tree! - New Roots by Groggi 2021-05-17T17:52:58Z

@ausstein Thank you so much for testing out my game. It was a real valuable insight. Showed me some flaws of the game I didn't think about. I am so sorry you had to go through all this suffering at the beginning. 🙂 But it made me really happy to see you having fun at last.

Thank you so much for the effort you put into this!

The Deepest Fish by LeYamez 2021-05-02T22:27:52Z

Loved the top hat fish!

Her Bedtime Stories by Emiliabea 2021-05-05T21:05:32Z

This had some really great moments and ideas. I did not understand everything but I think the overall message came across! Overall a very touching experience, thank you for that.

DwarfSweeper by Tim Sims 2021-05-01T23:12:14Z

I LOVE that idea and your execution.

The sounds are a bit weird. The jumping feels a bit weird. But everything else is just great. I dont know if this was intended, but I will give a high "humor" rating also. Mostly because of the death animation which made me laugh. :D

Really enjoyed this!

Fare Well by alanxoc3 2021-05-01T23:05:11Z

I love the pixel art style and your take on the theme! And I really really liked the sound and music. Had a nice feel to it. I was struggling a bit with the controls. But maybe that is just me, I never was really good at those kind of games. But also I am playing on a german keyboard that has "y" and "z" keys switched. Maybe next time you could change keys to something else, like "a" and "s" for instance. Your german fans would appreciate.

Nevertheless really enjoyed it. Thanks a lot.

Trash Squid by Alessandra 2021-05-05T20:36:52Z

The controls where a little bit harder to get the hang on and felt weird at first, but after the first time jumping over the boat it actually got quite fun! Loved to swim around to catch some trash. Missed some feedback on how much trash I actually collected. Was there supposed to be a highscore of some sort? The sound effect when dropping trash on the boat always felt like I was getting a lot of points... ;)

Interesting choice of music and background! :)

Digmon by ErkaNec 2021-05-03T19:07:01Z

Wow! This was fun! I loved the clever mechanics and the cute pixel grafics. And I played way longer than I expected, it was fun and exciting! The level tiles are a bit too noisy and colorful for my taste. But everything else was great!

Roots game by BoClow 2021-05-03T13:25:16Z

Really cool and relaxing game! Cool to see other interpretations of the "root theme"... Your game definately has some artistic value! I loved the aesthetics and growing animation. The end result of the roots always looks very nice. Only the music was getting a bit repetitive after a while. Nevertheless I enjoyed your game a lot! Thanks for that.

Psychology of the Depths by saintchristopher777 2021-05-02T22:46:14Z

Interesting take on the theme! It seemed quite complex and overwhelming at first but resulted quite the opposite. I really enjoyed the gameplay and some of the quotes on the cards. Would have loved if the text on the cards would be bigger, was difficult to read. Overall well done!

Boxing Surgery Simulator 2000 by ponywolf 2018-04-26T10:16:40Z

Really nice grafics!! Took me a while to understand that I didnt control the Boxers directly. And I still don't know, which one was mine... :D But I quite enjoyed this nontheless, killed a bunch of boxers though.

Scale Run by PanicTheFirst 2018-04-26T10:50:22Z

Great concept!

Had some issues though: Sometimes the character had problems jumping up an obstacle. It kind of slided back when I had the feeling it was getting high enough to get to the top. The solution was to jump as a smaller Version, but it should be the opposite? Here is a screenshot of the Situation, the character in the screenshot was not able to jump over: Unbenannt.JPG

Also the smaller character shoud jump less wide than the bigger one? At least that would be more intuitive in my eyes. Also the character is a bit creepy looking. :)

Overall a really nice game and it was fun to play. You should definately Keep working on it! Ah, and thanks for the WebGL Version ;)

Hanoi - City of Scooters by mshopf 2018-04-26T09:27:05Z

Really nice and fun! Very interesting concept and definately something I enjoyed.

I love these little "multiplayer" games and also wanted to implement some node.js in my game. But time run out and at the end I just implemented a simple Highscore. (https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/rogue-race if you want to check it out ;)

Move and Hide by Hizrok 2018-04-26T11:41:28Z

The first two levels where a bit useless in my eyes, but at Level 3 there was some nice gameplay showing through. I think, if you could do some more interesting levels, it could actually turn out a fun game!

Rogue Race by Groggi 2018-04-24T20:04:57Z

@Lazlo319, @Andreadbx, @Azargaz, @elHombreBanana, @borkleby, @FouchouMaximilien, Thank you all so much for your Feedback! Yes, my plan was to implement much more events and choices, but I didn't have the time to do so. Maybe I will do it in the future!

I will give your games a try these days!

Rogue Race by Groggi 2018-04-26T09:29:50Z

@ropedog Thank you! I never played FTL but will definately try it out then! ;)

Rogue Race by Groggi 2018-05-01T21:29:22Z

@Balance686, @PanicTheFirst, @invader: Thank you so much for your Feedback!

PlatSCII by whycardboard 2018-04-26T10:03:29Z

Really nice! Would have been nice if you could combine the commands, eg. f+j+j or f+f+f+j and complete one Level just by typing all the commands at once! ;) Also the command box should always be selected to type commands more easily without having to click the command line at the beginning. Or maybe all of this was intended! :) Anyhow a great game! The music, sounds and grafics are also very impressive and fitting! Keep it up!

Rogue Poker by Balint 2018-04-26T11:20:32Z

That is a really fun and gorgeous looking little game! I was thinking about doing a card based rpg kind of game also, so I am glad to see someone did it and probably way better than I would have.

You made Rogue Poker I made Rogue Race instead. ;)

MiniGame Racing by Deprecat 2018-04-24T20:33:00Z

Perfect concept and very fun little Game! I was so bad at this but enjoyed it nontheless! The only distractions I managed to overcome where the "Hold down" and "Mash"! Maybe the distractions could increase in difficulty as you pass to higher levels?

MiniGame Racing by Deprecat 2018-04-24T20:33:04Z

...

Feed Me by Pyrodaes 2018-04-27T20:26:04Z

Really great! I enjoyed to play- although I feel like I killed my parents somehow? :P
