LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Potentially Psychoactive Pufferfish by HawkSandwich 2017-12-04T18:43:27Z

Took me awhile to figure out the first level, I kept trying to feed him the dudes I was controlling. Then tried to feed him them while they were on fire. Then I found the puffers and put it all together. Second level I got frustrated trying to push the puffer to him when they kept falling off, so I didn't continue.

I liked the aesthetic, and the controls were kind of interesting. It was fun controlling the rolling balls, but I felt the goals led to more frustration than fun. Maybe I just suck and haven't had enough coffee.

Bubble Sort by alexv 2017-12-05T01:03:58Z

+1 to not using mediafire.

Game had a pretty interesting mechanic that fit the theme well. Good job.

WizCorp by Dylan Wolf 2017-12-04T07:44:55Z

Fun little clicker, good job. I like the pixel art.

Temples of Purgatory by Gulyasarni66 2017-12-04T18:20:55Z

Pros:

Really great game. Fantastic level design. Smooth progression, nice puzzle that isn't too frustrating to figure out.

Lots of angry snowmen.

Cons:

Didn't like the controls, hitting spacebar for so many enemies was too much.

Most of the audio was well done, but one of the ambient tracks sounded like I was actually getting hit by something.

Holiday Parking Panic! by FormalCloud 2017-12-04T03:47:59Z

Best game I've played yet. This is just really fun and had me laughing. Doesn't really fit the theme too well, but good job nonetheless.

Cat-apults by Laylow 2017-12-04T07:31:54Z

My game might be able to challenge your game in number of cats.

BTW your Itch.io link is not working.

Gather the Darkness by Jeremy Wolf 2017-12-04T08:06:27Z

Using the mouse to both steer and aim is a little awkward, but it worked. I liked the lighting a lot.

Prinsen Gulden by King Kujito 2017-12-04T02:49:46Z

Nice polish!

Calorie by Terryd98 2017-12-04T05:24:01Z

Well made!

Boiler Room Defense by cerno-b 2017-12-04T19:53:23Z

Awesome game, got 2nd place on leaderboard. Damn.

Worth the Weight by Mark Smith 2017-12-04T03:10:15Z

Nice models! I thought the controls could be improved since I couldn't see where I was going trying to turn around.

Pirate Cargo by nysten 2017-12-04T19:39:54Z

Lots of fun! Good job, combat was hard but fair.

RougeCell by sparked99 2017-12-04T04:17:11Z

Embol by azlen 2017-12-05T02:13:27Z

Clever game, good job. Even if it's short, it's a cool system.

Patient Zero by btwj 2017-12-04T08:01:32Z

Interesting game, good job. A bunch of kids at the elementary school got everyone sick. Figures.

The Star War 2: The quest for more money by eerongal 2017-12-04T03:35:01Z

uhhhhh .. Gotta collect that sweet sweet ludumb dair money!

Six by CodeChomper 2017-12-05T20:24:21Z

That was a nicely put together game, great job. Learning was easy and well handled. That saw on the last level hidden behind the box was very cruel.

Wired Network by Behenate 2017-12-04T02:40:34Z

Nice game. Random thought I had while playing was it'd be cool if the guns each worked differently, as well as the enemies, so you'd have to change your approach drastically when switching between them.

Wired Network by Behenate 2017-12-04T02:50:38Z

Totally! I liked how the ground affected the aiming to make it more interesting.

TOO MANY CATS! by ramza 2017-12-04T23:20:27Z

Really no point to it, but it was still somewhat enjoyable.

I had a similar thing going with my game, but allowed the player to build dogs and more to try and control the population.

Mutoid by Adrenallen 2017-12-06T16:12:13Z

Awesome! Really simple but effective graphics. I really like mini pixel characters. Great job on the monsters, those guys that come out and eat corpses are creepy, and then the sneks show up and it gets real. Good job.

72CoCSD by Togis 2017-12-06T19:21:31Z

Great game! I got stuck at the start because every time I opened train bot the guy would message me again. Eventually realized he would talk to me in the same IM window.

Otherwise that was well thought out and felt like a real new job. I was learning the responses and it got easier in a way but harder with more customers. Good typing exercise as well.

Horny Bunny by Thomas FUentes 2017-12-04T19:28:50Z

This is hilarious, great sprites hahaha. Levels are really nice looking. Well thought out level design.

Great job!

super rush boyy by frescogusto 2017-12-04T03:14:23Z

Very well polished. Nice job. The particle effects are great, the screen shake might be a bit much. Also the intro/instructions flashing hurt my brain.

Conquer by OmnipotentIndie 2017-12-04T03:25:31Z

itch.io link didn't work

Conquer by OmnipotentIndie 2017-12-04T03:29:52Z

Game was pretty fun though! Enemies take a lot of hits to kill.

Conquer by OmnipotentIndie 2017-12-04T04:43:21Z

@omnipotentindie nope still down for me https://omnipotentindie.itch.io/conquer

The People's Army - a lite rock paper scissor TBS Game by Zapakitul 2017-12-04T03:24:29Z

Took me a bit to realize you have to go to the menu to go to the next level. I kept thinking I was losing.

Otherwise the game was fun, good job.

BOOTY LOOTER! by MrLeePerry 2017-12-04T04:10:06Z

Good polish, I liked the camera work and graphics. Gameplay was nice and responsive and the controls were good. Fun game to boot..y. Ok sorry.

BOOTY LOOTER! by MrLeePerry 2017-12-04T18:32:58Z

Surprised this doesn't have more attention! Go rate some games dude, this should have more plays. :)

Rebel Call by SeanNoonan 2017-12-04T04:40:22Z

That audio is terrifying lol. I really liked the way you did the buildings and overall aesthetic. Nicely designed UI!

Infestus by Handle 2017-12-04T04:36:06Z

Good job with the pixel art, especially if you say you're learning. I especially liked the bubbling pool.

Captain Capsize by Lance Krasniqi 2017-12-05T00:55:30Z

Really good graphics. But the controls/gameplay left me frustrated. I kept throwing my cannon in to the water on accident. Also picking things up sometimes would still have the object behind the ship when I dragged it over.

Retro Rocket Run! by gwolf86 2017-12-05T02:03:48Z

Lagging hard for me too, but really nice job on the game.

Fish Catchers by Sinci1 2017-12-04T19:23:45Z

Good job! Was fun trying to hit the small red fish. I didn't enjoy constantly spearing the sharks so i just kept going for the fish till I lost.

Pub Crawler by GiraffeCat 2017-12-05T00:36:41Z

This was really funny! I wish more chaos had happened though.

Magus O-Minus by Nucleose 2017-12-04T03:53:40Z

Very well polished! Game feel is really good. Combat is well designed for it's simplicity.

One thing is you can run off the screen running vertically because the camera doesn't keep up.

Fatal nightmare by imod 2017-12-04T23:29:38Z

Fantastic graphics guys. Really cool game, I like the contrast between the cute stuff and the really creepy.

Snowballing Out of Control! by Shipshape Detour 2017-12-05T06:17:11Z

Fun game, good job. I liked the perspective, and it ran well. Do you spawn an object for each tile? Or is it only a few colliders near the player over a mesh with UV textures?

Unicorn Fart Jam by BeardedMoose 2017-12-05T05:45:01Z

5 million out of 5

BUt my wife is now angry with me.

Unicorn Fart Jam by BeardedMoose 2017-12-05T06:11:13Z

@BeardedMoose No, that's exactly why she's mad at me. I blew her away with a rainbow fart and it was amazing.

Caribou Simulator by Gus the Shark 2017-12-04T08:19:36Z

Adorable graphics, and a really well done game. Not sure my emotions can handle the losses to the wolves :*(

Herding Cats on Rollerskates by Tezza48 2017-12-04T03:40:50Z

Absolutely nailed the theme rofl. Aggravating as hell though!

Gophergeddon by Ham and Swiss 2017-12-04T03:42:54Z

The old lady who swallowed the fly was the inspiration!

@benhumphries - you just need to watch the populations in the top. If they are red, that needs to be corrected to progress!

Gophergeddon by Ham and Swiss 2017-12-04T04:13:40Z

@FormalCloud - Thanks! Holiday Parking had me cracking up haha. Good job man.

Gophergeddon by Ham and Swiss 2017-12-04T17:45:58Z

@tuism - ah crap, forgot to take out the click to kill mechanic. The game started out as a whack-a-mole but sort of morphed as I was making it.

Basically your goal is to get all the populations at the top below their threshold. If one population is above, the text will be red.

When every population is under threshold, the map will grow a bit, and more gophers will spawn.

There is no win condition, you only get as far as you can without causing Gophergeddon.

Gophergeddon by Ham and Swiss 2017-12-04T17:56:02Z

@tuism Threshold just means a limit. So your population has to be under the limits. At the top of the screen there are icons for each type of Animal, showing the current population over the limit. So 9/10 means you're safe, but 11/10 means you're over by 1.

Definitely could be clearer! I appreciate the feedback, just wanted to clarify.

Gophergeddon by Ham and Swiss 2017-12-04T18:58:14Z

@peterthehe Ya the dog catchers multiply. Once they see their buddies making bank catching all those dogs they all start doing it. Of course they start getting a little too rowdy and taking people's pets, so the police need to get involved.

Gophergeddon by Ham and Swiss 2017-12-05T04:31:37Z

@MrLeePerry lol thanks! Your game Booty Looter was fantastic.

Gophergeddon by Ham and Swiss 2017-12-05T09:23:43Z

@bridgs it does actually, i think i need to tweak the balancing a bit. if you build enough dog catchers you can build police to stop the dog catchers.

Gophergeddon by Ham and Swiss 2017-12-05T15:34:16Z

@Ionthas sorry about that, there is a button at the bottom to spawn cats. Maybe it was off screen?

Gophergeddon by Ham and Swiss 2017-12-05T20:15:08Z

@lillyByte sorry for the awkward resolution! 800x800 is too tall.

The Shepherd by TheTopHatNoob 2017-12-04T20:13:04Z

Edit: lol wrong game.

BURROWED TIME by endesga 2017-12-04T04:05:42Z

Great game feel, particles are fantastic.

Growing Earth by TrolledWoods 2017-12-04T18:29:34Z

Nice relaxing game, though the movement is strange.

Darklike by clachipso 2017-12-04T18:56:01Z

Nice graphics, good polish. Gameplay was fun and easy to understand.

I think the flash should be on cooldown or have a way to recharge, because when you run out the game kind of falls apart and becomes just blindly looking for the exit.

Innocent Chickens by sandrofigo 2017-12-05T01:10:36Z

Fun game, not sure what exactly the lose condition is, but I lose half my flock at one point and lost. Really nicely polished, thanks for staying up late to do that!
