LD49 — Unstable

Dogs++ by Jezzamon 2021-10-08T04:49:13Z

I could play this just for the music! Loved the art and the puzzles were great. My one wish is that if you accidentally jumped from the top of a stack and hit a bone that you'd regain control of the original stack (did that one too many times haha). Great entry!

Unstable Caves by notime4games 2021-10-20T04:53:56Z

I liked the puzzle design and quite enjoyed the art! The last finished puzzle sure ramped up the difficulty, was a bit lost until I realized you started out with two ladders. As others have said the ladder number would sometimes display the wrong value and having one pick-up button for objects would've been great. But had a lot of fun playing, thanks for the game! :D

RIFT by Pavocado 2021-10-05T03:41:35Z

Loved the mood that this game gives off and great puzzle design! The in game explanations/ mechanic introductions were great as well.

Psychogoat Collapse by 6smith 2021-10-05T02:37:53Z

Loved the sound effects and the art style (colors/ backdrop).

VelociCorp Warehouses by pancelor 2021-10-19T03:39:39Z

Loved how challenging the puzzles were, involved some thought to get through. And I also appreciated the amount of levels and the sound effects. Would be great to see some more complex art but for 12 hours great job! :D

Tables & Tremors by SlimmerBurger 2021-10-08T04:26:58Z

Wow great concept! I thought this had a good difficulty to it and the levels allowed you to learn as you went. The restart button was also super useful in keeping the action going. Awesome Job!

AFTER SUN by rufson 2021-10-20T04:29:16Z

Loved the visuals, music, and mood of this game, it all fit very well together. The mechanics of flying the ship felt great as well. The ladders to the platforms were somewhat buggy for me and I found them difficult to climb up (or sometimes my character would be reset upon hitting the edge of a platform when trying to climb). But overall an amazing entry!

Unstable Space by FaberNull 2021-10-05T03:08:54Z

Wow impressive for a 2 day jam! I liked the simplistic art and having AI to battle against was great. Like a few others have said being able to select multiple ships from within the planetary view or being able to select ships from the galaxy view would be a great addition! Awesome job!

Escape Pod by Grumpy Gecko 2021-10-08T04:58:27Z

@aevek Yes that would've been much better option to provide! Thanks for playing

LD50 — Delay the inevitable

The Short Dark by PhyscoKillerMonkey 2022-04-15T02:37:23Z

I liked the art style of this a lot (footsteps in the snow was an awesome touch). I'm impressed with the whole inventory system as well. An overarching goal beyond survival or more things to do would be a great addition but an awesome job!

John The Icecube by rvenson 2022-04-17T17:04:59Z

A difficult game but I had a lot of fun playing this. I also liked the ice cube character sprite! I think a slightly faster charge time and more control with the aiming would make the game a bit easier and allow for some cool in-air maneuvers. But I didn't mind the more difficult precision that was required as is. Great job!

Blizzard by FallingFlatStudios 2022-04-13T03:49:25Z

I really liked the particle and sound effects on this one, seemed like the first jump was one of the harder ones to get but got the hang of the rest. Thanks for the game!

Defend 'till the end by kjscott 2022-04-17T16:44:34Z

Cool game! I loved the art of the planet, how it rotated with clouds and how you could see the damage it took from asteroids. I also liked how the asteroids split into smaller ones after being shot. I made a similar asteroid defense game for this Jam but opted for a smaller view and a wave based asteroid system, but originally was thinking of showing the whole planet like you have, so it's cool to see how they compare!

Garden of Death by Flawed_Gamer 2022-04-21T04:14:04Z

I liked the concept of this game! Kept me busy trying to multi task the objectives. The icons for the plants needs could sometimes be hard to see so I'd sometimes miss them, but overall great game!

Keep it Secret by Zettabit 2022-04-06T05:16:36Z

Great take on the theme, loved the humor and the art. I seemed to be able to stop the gossip at two people perpetually (I assume the red names spread if they talk for too long), so a mix up at the start to make it slightly harder would be a cool addition. But great job!

Majellan by Reulan 2022-04-13T03:40:36Z

I liked the evolution through time concept and had fun playing this one. Some of the UI seemed a bit off target but it may have just been the full screen web version. Thanks for the game!

Goblona by mrks 2022-04-21T03:49:52Z

I liked the music! The AI for the knights was cool to see and I liked how there was a select all keybind. Some of the sounds effects got to be a bit too much when there was a lot of goblins XD. And for the knights I controlled they seemed to stop fighting after following a command so my best strat was to let them roam. Thanks for the game!

Artemis-17 by Grumpy Gecko 2022-04-06T04:55:26Z

@jordwest Thanks! And yes the left and right indicators span the entirety of the globe that's not currently in picture so it'll notify you of asteroids on the opposite end!

Track Switching by sinus 2022-04-15T02:18:54Z

I liked the difficulty curve on this, definitely got into the 'zone' as it got harder. Thanks for the game!

SkyTimer by TheSerOT 2022-04-05T04:06:37Z

Loved the sound effects and graphics, a relaxing game to play!

Pengu Peril by Cinnamon18 2022-04-13T03:58:38Z

I like how the game started out very peaceful and quickly got more hectic with the tempo change. Also enjoyed the cute penguin art. Thanks for the experience and nice work! :D
