LD38 — A Small World

Timeless by Chaseplays 2017-04-27T12:45:53Z

Loved this. Really creative and interesting concept. Took me a little while to figure out what was going on at first but the game takes you through it gradually so it didn't take long to pick it up. Some really challenging levels in there which makes it very addictive and fun. Really impressive.

Naval Bathroom by Giardi 2017-04-26T11:30:42Z

This is so fun! I found it quite difficult to begin with so I'd maybe suggest a difficulty level where you can see the trajectory on the mini-map. Other than that thought it was a really addictive, fun game even when playing by myself and works really well on mobile.

Snake 3D by Harry Jacobs 2017-04-26T10:42:57Z

@blankets-mcgee @giardi @cottontshirtz Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it :)

Snake 3D by Harry Jacobs 2017-04-26T10:44:17Z

@cottontshirtz Ran out of time trying to get the camera to be smoother but definitely something I will look to fix, thanks for the ideas!

Snake 3D by Harry Jacobs 2017-04-27T12:39:36Z

@chaseplays Thanks so much! Think I'm going to spend some more time on this to refine it. Definitely going to try and make the camera movement better. Also you're right about the turning delay - will try and make that a bit less clunky. Really helpful feedback, thanks :)

P L A N E T O R U S by cottontshirtz 2017-04-26T11:11:43Z

Great job! Really interesting concept, love the idea of the torus. Agree with the others about the difficulty level but other than that I think it was a really well executed, unique idea and good fun to play.

S - The Game by Stadoblech 2017-12-22T14:18:06Z

Wow! What a fun game. Such a unique idea. It seems like such a simple idea but somehow never gets boring or repetitive. Great effort! Really enjoyed it. The music's really nice too

Six by CodeChomper 2017-12-08T21:33:22Z

Love this! Great concept and really nice art and game-play. An undo button might be nice but I really enjoyed everything about this and I'd definitely play more of it. Great job!

Industrial Miner by GhostRunners25 2017-12-07T16:12:54Z

Enjoyed the simplicity of this. As has been said the additional challenge of having to mine in a straight line rather than teleporting around would've be a nice improvement. Some sound effects would have been nice as well but understandable if you ran out of time.

SpaceCab by bobombe 2017-12-04T13:31:55Z

As has been said already some kind of explanation about what to do would be helpful. That said it was actually pretty enjoyable. Cool concept.

Yarn the Kittens by Emilio Segura 2017-12-07T17:52:56Z

So good! I loved playing this. Really like the sound effects and just the general smoothness of it all. Feels very polished. Great work! :)

LD42 — Running out of space

Space Compact by garris 2018-08-13T18:05:34Z

Very enjoyable :) Spacecraft sound can get a little repetitive but other than that thought it was great!

Running out of Space by Harry Jacobs 2018-08-15T20:13:34Z

@garris @0rganic @ludum1118 @mrbehemoth @stabalarash @james-shipp @alexander-tan @themonsterfromthedeep @frank-gevaerts @phillserrazina Thanks for all the feedback!

There seems to be mixed opinion about the controls haha. I was wondering about that before I submitted but settled on leaving the ship a bit harder to control to make the game a bit harder and feel a bit more like you're in space.

I think maybe I got used to the controls from testing it so much so probably should've made it a bit more responsive. I'll think about that in future

Thanks again for all the comments and advice/feedback- very helpful :))

Auction Hoarder by PhillSerrazina 2018-08-16T18:47:15Z

Good job! Thought it might get boring quickly but I actually really enjoyed it! Surprisingly addictive. Very fun and silly- enjoyed reading all the item descriptions haha and loved the music as well

Save That Fish! by JUKE Games 2018-08-13T18:00:03Z

Love this! The fish seem to have a deathwish sometimes which keeps you on your toes. Unique idea and very enjoyable

Astronaughty by 0rganic 2018-08-29T18:17:42Z

Music is kinda crazy but I like it haha. Liked the idea of winning with love, there could've been a bit stronger connection to the theme but was over all pretty enjoyable. Good job

Desktop Clout! by James Shipp 2018-08-28T20:03:06Z

Started off a bit slow but got more enjoyable as it went on and became quite addictive. Some sound effects would have been nice but overall was pretty fun and unique. Great job!

Compression by JohnyF 2018-08-13T17:45:32Z

I feel like I'm doing something stupid but I can't get past the first level (the use AWSD to move one)? I get to the end and it's stuck. Am I missing something?

Compression by JohnyF 2018-08-14T18:09:37Z

@johnyf Ah got it now.

Very challenging! Really love the glitching effects and the audio! Great use of the theme and a cool twist on The Impossible Game, which I assume it was based on. Good work!

Sirkulphage by MrBehemoth 2018-08-28T19:50:16Z

That was really fun! The sound effects are great and love the art style. Good job!

LD46 — Keep it alive

Mayday by awerar 2020-04-21T11:36:35Z

Gorgeous visuals. My laptop really struggled to run this even with the post processing disabled, which seems odd for such a simple game (I'm running the linux version), so can't really comment too much on the gameplay because of how laggy the game was. But lovely art and atmospheric music. Seems very polished and liked the concept. Well done :)

Lokat by okkolobr 2020-04-21T11:25:39Z

Mood of the game is great. Love the falling animation.

Not being able to jump up through the platforms made the game very difficult and the controls could have been more responsive. Also the level get repetitive fast.

Other than that cool idea and style, well done.

MOTHER QUACKER by ZMVL 2020-04-21T11:21:13Z

Fun game! Really like the water, the duck models and the music.

As has been mentioned, some smoother controls would be nice and maybe some way of knowing which ducklings are currently being protected when the wings are spread as it is hard to tell sometimes.

But other than that cool idea and enjoyed playing, well done.

LD49 — Unstable

Systems Unstable by David Brož 2021-10-06T22:04:06Z

Great idea! Very enjoyable to play. Only one issue with it was that its very easy to make it through by just staying on the sides and avoiding the enemies - so maybe some kind of incentive for taking down enemies, or making it harder to avoid them, might have made it more challenging. But other than that I thought it was a fun game that fits the theme well

LD52 — Harvest

Cyber Shapes by mhorth 2023-01-12T20:31:45Z

This is awesome!

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Bob Ross Adventure by Goutye 2018-04-24T13:32:21Z

This is beautiful :') Anything with Bob Ross in gets my vote

Really nice game-play and puzzles as well. Music can get a little repetitive but overall a very enjoyable game. Great job! :)

Happy painting and god bless my friend

Brains of Racing by 5you 2018-04-24T13:17:18Z

Cool idea! Took a while to get the hang of the controls but it's great fun once you get going, and surprisingly difficult. Really like the graphics. Some audio/music would be nice but other than that, great effort!

Chess Tower Defence by Harry Jacobs 2018-04-24T01:45:24Z

@alphazeba Should be working now, took a while to upload :)

Hella Cropper by lawnjovi 2018-04-24T09:41:43Z

This is great haha! Really funny idea. Love the music too.

Farm in 60 seconds by ProfessorRekyl 2018-04-25T21:16:01Z

Hilarious! Surprisingly difficult as well. Really good idea that fits well with the theme. Great work!

00Boyfriend - A Spy's Dating Sim by SamStallion 2018-04-24T10:04:27Z

Wow! This is fantastic. So polished! Everything about it feels great and on top of that it's a great idea! Really funny. Love the music as well.
