LD42 — Running out of space

Disembodied by MouthlessGames 2018-08-14T19:23:20Z

Wow this was a surprising ride. This is more an experience than a game but a really nice one I think. Love the concept and story behind it. I just wanted to get disembodies myself when the non-fast-forwardable outro sequence played. It felt like the slowest experience I ever had :-D Other than that, really cool achievement! And in Java, yeah!

What Is On The Walls Inside by fullmontis 2018-08-15T10:51:57Z

Nice entry! Although this is not my genre I enjoyed to play it for a short while and follow the narrative. Well done and nicely crafted!

Gravity Hook by GlacierEclipse 2018-08-14T18:22:17Z

Really cool game and execution.

Metro 2048 Exodus by williamtosh 2018-08-14T10:15:56Z

Hillarious idea! Loved pushing people. Would have been great to see more visual feedback but the audio cues were also great :-D

TP2: Cryo Crisis by homeworld 2018-08-14T18:41:38Z

It told me to leftclick to repair but that didn't do anything so I gave up. Overall seems very nice though, tons of models and good graphics and some eerie music.

Short Fuse Saloon by souperstrawer 2018-08-14T17:56:22Z

Couldn't totally figure out how to win but was really a cool experience. Graphics are very consistent and look really good. Love the piano man!

Box Beatdown by guin36 2018-08-14T17:19:50Z

Very fun experience, even with a very nice tutorial. Couldn't beat the last boss though but would gladly die at 99% progress again.

Pop it! by LJay 2018-08-16T22:28:13Z

At first I thought this is quite absurd but there is actually a skill-based progression to it and in the end it was a bit of a zen-like experience. Now I will try to get the sounds out of my head :-D Good job!

Bombing Run by Gregor 2018-08-14T17:34:04Z

I wasn't able to enter the code (didn't understand how) but I simply went on running through the level feeling the panic while it was beeping more and more. Awesome! The texts really help to keep me going. Good atmosphere and huge level!

Ludum Dare Simulator 2019 by samboyer276 2018-08-14T18:04:23Z

Honestly, I played 10 games so far and this is actually my favorite. I didn't get it at first but once I understood the concept this is a really nice idea. I wonder how one can get a 100% score there :-D Great job!

L: An Interactive Mystery by Cercle 2018-08-14T19:59:13Z

This is truely outstanding. This is like a glimpse into what could be a really nice bigger game. Excellent voice acting and story telling. Soooo much content produced at such a high level. Wow.

Globulator by Corbak 2018-08-14T20:08:04Z

Very nice game with really good graphics.

Night Shift by TomekS 2018-08-14T19:08:05Z

By far the best graphics of all the games I have played so far. Controls a bit hard to master which I am torn if it's a plus or a minus. Overall a really cool achievement. Respect!

Ultimate Furniture Stacker X-Treme by Norris Eldridge 2018-08-20T09:20:46Z

The movement mechanics are good! Don't know why multiple others complain. Gives it a certain edge. Graphics and sound are also cool. What I didn't get at all: what is the objective? After a while I just stood at the phone the entire time and pressed e when noticed. Then next level and so on. Is there more to it?

Burnout by PapriGames 2018-08-14T19:43:36Z

Nice one and really requires some practice. Good game!

Benjamin's Acceptance by Zachary Granger 2018-08-14T18:56:05Z

This game completely lives from the audio. Without it I would rate it mew but with it that totally changes and gives also a certain meaning to the graphics. Awesome achievement. This is what games should be about IMO, keep me engaged to progress because I want to know how it continues.

Space Invaded by KTur 2018-08-16T22:40:20Z

Wow this was a surprise gem for me. Glad I found it. I really liked the idea to control two turrets at once. Totally brainf... me. And very nice graphics as well. Well done!

Pool Watch by Plukers 2018-08-14T18:14:08Z

Nice concept! It is both fun and sad at the same time. Great to see also a non-Unity game, Godot actually.

Insanity by NightmaresDev 2018-08-14T20:18:08Z

Very nice game and good execution! The audio is killing, in a good way :-D I would have liked some sort of direction indicator or system but maybe that's the point to not have one. Great entry!

The Coming of the Great Colorful Handkerchief by mosaic 2018-08-14T17:49:21Z

Nice one! Good idea with the expansion and contraction mechanism and superb music! Got to wave 8 before getting handkerchieved.

Small Pack by Daem 2018-08-14T10:07:54Z

Took me forever to somehow learn how to hit something with a timed arrow but it kept me playing and that showed that I liked it :-) the graphics are really nice.

Plant's Conquest by Sam Estep 2018-08-14T19:34:51Z

Very interesting looking game but like some people above also stuck on second level. No idea what the game mechanic is after 10 tries. Sorry. But I like the art style and graphics. Really cool.

The Human Resources Manager by Humpert764 2018-08-14T20:42:47Z

Very nice game! Reminded me a bit of plague inc which I loved and so I loved this game here :-) I am not sure I understood all effects and if upgrades are better or can also make it worse. For some reason I could not get the death rate up although I triggered all effects I had. Still, really cool entry and great job! Does it also support VR as SteamVR popped up for me? Even nicer then!

The Gentle Giant by Red Pill 2018-08-20T09:14:03Z

Cool idea indeed. Played until 600m and then realized that it's progressing a bit slowly to be honest and could have used some more diverse elements but nevertheless congrats this is fun!

Blast Off! by heidelbert 2018-09-02T15:53:44Z

Thank you all so much for your feedback. It has been a great experience to get this game out and to also see so many other awesome games.

@thomas-olsson @shadoninja @jamison @3ncryp73d @bitdecay @cercle @markd @bradur Next time we will definitely plan for sound! I'd personally like to take this as a challenge since I have never done a "good" sound design so far.

@sam-estep @kack3y @jamison @corbak @wetbox @anstabo It's a bit sad to see that some of you run into such big issues with the performance. I guess you trust us when we say we didn't release something that at least on our machines (GTX 970) would not run smoothly. That being said, the WebGL version is definitely slower also for me than the PC version and we were only able to spend like 1 hour or so of our time budget on optimization. Draw calls are definitely quite high and particle effects are a bit excessive so that is probably the culprit ;-) Good learning for next time to put more focus on this as well.

LD46 — Keep it alive

Miss Tommybird the Protector by frenzyasii 2020-04-21T09:14:04Z

I struggled quite to hit something but you definitely win the award for legendary description under the web gl version :-D

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

The Fistula Cleaning Crew by Local Minimum 2021-04-29T21:13:46Z

Cool idea to have three different rockets to fire for the directions. I have no idea how I made it to the bottom but I blasted lots of stuff on my way down. Nice entry!

Sinking Feeling by skiddings 2021-04-29T21:24:59Z

The game looks really nice but I have to admit, I have no idea what to do. I figured out how to dive but all the other keys, wow. If I had one recommendation it would be to simplify dramatically next time. It's also quite late already here so maybe I'm just tired :-D

Deep BO-12 by themorfeus 2021-04-29T21:34:05Z

Cool entry! I couldn't really manage to properly swing to collect all crystals but had fun trying and it's great that it runs in the browser!

Descent into Midnight Trench by kfischer-okarin 2021-04-29T07:23:36Z

Great little game! I loved the harpoon even if it seems a bit off but I managed to get quite deep. And although the graphics are rather simple they fit really nicely. Good job!

Puzzles All the Way Down by Triastase 2021-04-29T21:44:06Z

This is a nice nucleus of a game idea! I played for 20 rounds and then realized there are only 4 puzzles in there with no more being added but that was fun and I had a good time. Also the inputs work really well and the graphics are minimal but slick. Good job!

Between the Lines by Markus 2021-04-29T08:25:25Z

Finished it without using hints and I have to say, WOW!! This is my new favorite entry in the jam. How did you get that done in 3 days? Cool graphics, multiple very interesting gameplay elements, a story, a great discovery mechanism. I am blown away.

Digga by Damien Remars 2021-04-29T21:29:47Z

Very nice block-match-game. I had really fun playing and figuring out the best way. Good job!

Deeper-Geddon by heidelbert 2021-04-27T07:15:46Z

@versatilesponge indeed the conveyors are a compromise. We had an automatic angling first but struggled too much to make it work in the time frame so we switched back to manual placement. Getting deeper requires hydrogen and steel which you get out of the blue and white factories!

An Eggsellent Escape by GoldenEvolution 2021-04-29T21:38:15Z

This is impressive! Wow. Great art style and game play and mechanics. Also like the small gradual tutorial. Well done!

Aquanomicon by Briibot 2021-04-27T07:06:53Z

Love the art style! really nice. And the aspect of having to pay attention to the background of what bubbles up. I struggled a bit with assigning the slots initially but then it worked once I got the hang of it. Cool achievement!

Detective Insider by Fearawl 2021-04-29T21:20:06Z

This is a cool idea and it's fun to find all the items to open the doors! It glitched out on me after opening the lady bug door which put me behind the wall on the other side and I could not get out anymore but it's a great entry and even multi-lingual!

Deeper Up by DAk001 2021-04-27T07:22:39Z

Awesome art style! Love it! Is this a very short game or is there a hidden exit somewhere? I killed all enemies in the first zone (after dying multiple times to the mean ceiling killers) and then did not know where to go.

N.E.R.D.S by Xparker 2021-04-29T07:17:10Z

Interesting little game! Reminded me of the beloved Mass Effect planet scanning. Cool job.

1000 Fathoms by Dom De Re 2021-04-29T07:41:31Z

Loved it! Such cool Among Us vibes and well executed. What would have been nice is that before enemies come out there is a small hint as otherwise one dies without being able to react. Great gob!

Ariel Cleanomancer and the Eldritch Sweep by alyd asmar 2021-04-27T07:30:13Z

I LOVE it! It has multiple cool game mechanics combined into one game. Sokoban, resource handling, limited moves. Awesome. Great art style as well. Really well done.

Fish Quest by GoldenPalazzo 2021-04-27T07:12:54Z

Wow this is a HARD game for me. My fish is so sloooow but I like the idea as it fits the theme very well. It's a bit like a vertical flappy bird!

48 Tons by Scruffylooking2121 2021-04-29T06:59:21Z

This is a really cool change to the other experiences. I haven't played a text adventure in ages and it feels really refreshing to put my mind into the story and visualize the complex. Well done!

Dungeon Painter by IanTheBee 2021-04-28T19:30:06Z

What a great mechanic to discover the levels. Really well done!
