LD46 — Keep it alive

Busy Bee Business by HuvaaKoodia 2020-04-30T21:13:09Z

I loved that one ! The graphics are great, maybe it lacking a bit on animations but the drawings are awesome. The gameplay is very inventive and a nice twist on the genre. Like a lot of jam games the game is too darn difficult, i have tried very hard to get a weak score of 9 haha ! The music il relaxing and fits the mood well. Oh and i loved the font too ! Excellentjob, keep making games !

Age of Aquaria by mahalis 2020-04-24T11:48:10Z

Great game ! The graphics are really sweet, the gameplay is fun and the game introduction is clear, well done ! There are maybe too few levels but that's a good thing it means i wanted to play more. There is not that much sound, a little music would've been great. Killing the fishes is pretty funny, i wished there were some agonizing animation to make the player feel really bad, maybe some sound. These are littles things i would have expected in a jam game but since it's a compo game i'm not taking them into acount. Well done !

WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE YOUNGLINGS ANAKIN ?! Great game with it's share of laugh ! The graphics are great and the gameplay is fun nice job ! The music are really cool and made me happy. The controller support is a great addition and works perfectly. Now for the little things not so great, the camera is flickering when moving and doesn't have any smoothing and the younglings pathfinder is not so great sometimes stucking them in place. But yea, there is only these two things which bothered me and it is really nothing for a 3 days game. You did an amazing job and made me laugh ! Congrats and keep making games !

Dunkegg by Luke Perkin 2020-04-25T09:45:32Z

Oddly enough, we had a similar idea with a stretcher and eggs until we went for something totally different ! The game is fun thanks to the setup and the character lines. The art is amazing, didn't knew a simple voronoi would look that good as a ground ! The intro with the fliping board is also very inventive. The controls are smooth but the keybinding is so weird! How am i supposed to put 4 fingers like that ? Pushing left and right to go forward and backward also hurt my poor brain. The gameplay is fun but the eggshells (hehe) are falling too fast, i barely had the time to notice the shadow that the thing was falling. The text boxs were also really big and sometimes prevented me from seeing the eggshell's shadows. Overall you did a tremendous and creative work, well done !

Beetle Blast by OursBleu 2020-05-02T20:22:48Z

What a great game ! The game feel is top noch and really helps sell the game, the graphics are simple but really well done. Everything feels nice ! The sound and music are good, maybe just a bit less than the rest. I really had fun, good job !

Power plant by elmo 2020-04-25T09:14:42Z

Really cool game ! The tutorial was a good surprise, it was clear and concise. The gameplay is engaging and fun. The construction sim genre vibe is definitely there. Like a lot of jam game the game is too hard, i did not found a way to efficiently survive the nights and loosed after 2 days. The graphics are not great but they serve the game well. The rope animation is so satisfying ! The sound is good but there is perhaps still place for a little ambient music. Like others have said it has an ambitious project for a jam and you managed to block the main elements in the time frame, well done !

Enshrine by MicroChasm 2020-04-24T10:19:38Z

Cool idea ! I love the main character appearance, you did an amazing job on it. The overall art is good, i think you went for the rough low poly style which is cool but i think the main character and some of the assets would have gained to be shaded smooth. The gameplay is fun, i scratched my head a bit to find solutions to the puzzles. I have often found myself side to an edge map with a wall in front of me and another on my side and just going forward like that unoticed wich is not a really fun strategy, i wish you would've stoped the player from doing that more often. I also feel the game is too slow, the wall animation is really long and the loop of pressing space, arrow keys, space again, arrow keys and space one last time is just so tedious when it could be made in two clics. I eventually stoped before the end of the game after spending 2 minutes crossing the level and dying just before the end. I liked the game overall and given you where alone making the game i think it's quite impressive, well done. Keep making games !

Night in the Garden by nikchernyakov 2020-04-22T11:30:38Z

God, these crawling things are nightmare fuel haha ! It's a pretty relaxing game concidering the setup. I had a lot of troubles pointing my light were i wanted, a cursor would have been welcome but i also think it's buggy somehow. I ended up not finishing the game because of that, i could not defend myself properly without light ! Graphicaly speaking it's neat.I think i have spotted some asset store assets (the squeletons for exemple) if this is the case you should say wich assets are not from you and were they come from in your game description. Oh and the font and UI are awesome ! Gameplay wise, the checkpoints are more than welcome, thanks for that. The overall gameplay feels nice, exept maybe for the crawlings horrors that sometimes block you against a wall. Nicely done, keep going !

Gloubik by Bryoche 2020-04-24T11:13:21Z

Congratulations on making your first jam game ! The graphics are nice, the organs are nicely done (even if i though the pulmon was a kidney until i looked at the hud :D). The only thing putting me of is that low res, stretched, tiled ground texture. Everything as a sound and it's good, keep doing that. I don't know why i was hearing sea wave sound all over the place but hey, lets say it was gastric flux :P. The shooting sound gets anoying after some time, try to put some variation next time. I think the game as no end so i stopped after some time, if it's not the case it's a too long time with no gameplay variations. I loved the HUD art style but i had no idea what was going on in it exept for the heath of myself and the organs. I ended up with 22350 nailed potatoes, 6520 sticks and 7 chicken bones, and well I guess it's good, I don't know haha. Good job overall, hope you'll make another game !

MicroVore by Eran Haas 2020-04-29T21:17:57Z

Well that was a experience ! I really liked it, the graphics are awesome and make my CG melt haha. The audio was great and strengthen the mood. The gameplay is really simple and repetitive and the frame rate doesn't really help for the controls feeling. The controls themselves where fine until is went on a wall were it felt very wierd. I get your goal was to make more of a cinematic experience and you did an amazing job on that, well done !

Once Bear Got a Job at Hell by Rexagon 2020-04-25T08:43:41Z

Into the pot you go huehuehuehue ! The medieval art style is amazing, well done. Fighting a flood is a nice twist on the tower defence genre. The game is fun but it's so darn hard ! I wished the flood was comming slower, at least at the start, and perhaps towards the center rather than from left to right. The music is nice and made my head bang :smiley: . It put me just a bit off the game tough, i feel it wasn't exactly at it's place, but i loved it so i don't know what to think. Congrats you won the 2D graphics for me so far ! Keep making game !

Circus Daddy by PatteDeCanaard 2020-04-23T18:21:54Z

@saadsirius Thank you for your kind review ! We were 2 people full time on the graphics and, well we worked a lot !

Circus Daddy by PatteDeCanaard 2020-04-25T16:10:51Z

@herniewise Thank you for your nice comment ! You can make a single .exe in Godot by going to "Project > Export > Windows Desktop" and check the "Embed Pck" option. We are using Godot 3.2.1.stable.official.

Circus Daddy by PatteDeCanaard 2020-04-30T10:56:56Z

@xart2012 Sorry for the inconvenience, i just added a Linux 64 bit version just for you ! :)

Desertification by hwaet 2020-04-30T21:03:43Z

Very unique game ! I liked the concept a lot, it's quite sad you couldn't polish it I would have loved to play a version with more levels and were everything was balanced and implemented ! The graphics serves the game pretty nicely and give a cute feeling to the hole thing. There is a sound for everything some of which are great. I'm not so fond of the low poly style i would have prefered some smooth shading, but that's an opinion. A tutorial would have been nice, even if the game is pretty simple to understand. Nice job, keep going !

Beerloose starring Beer Bearer Bob - Keep the Party Alive! by loganthemanster 2020-04-22T17:32:59Z

Hey bruv, this one's for you pal ! God daaaaamn that sound design is PERFECT. The music is just so cool and all the voicelines are fun. Now for the rest, i'm not a big fan of pixel art but the graphics served the game alright so i'm good with it. The messages on the phone at the start are really funny. Concerning the gameplay, it's nice at first but becomes a bit boring after a few minutes, i wish there were some new things after some time. Well done you made me laugh a lot !

Keep the Flame Alive by InsanityCode 2020-04-24T09:49:30Z

I could not play the game, after choosing my difficulty and my instrument and after the timer depletes, nothing happens. Am i missing something ?

Keep the Flame Alive by InsanityCode 2020-04-24T12:07:15Z

@insanitycode It worked, thanks ! So i just wrote a long comment and closed the tab before sending it... i'm going to go quicker on it this time. Congrats on making you game engine, it works well, to bad for the dependences issues. Graphics are great exept for the keyboard which is too dark. The game is fun but really hard. The music is awesome ! Amazing job, keep going !

Bloodline by Geonaut 2020-04-22T10:54:28Z

Nice game ! Too hard for my poor brain tho. I feel it would have been more rewarding to make fixed levels over spawning germs continuously. I love the rotation animation when something moves, it feels just so good. The graphics are simple but they serve the game well. The music is alright but i find it a bit stressfull, something more calm would probably be more fit for a puzzle game. You said you used code::block for making your game, that's an IDE, we would've liked to know a bit more like what graphical library you used. Anyway well done and keep making games !

Keep the download running by bobost2 2020-04-22T17:13:54Z

I love the mood of the game, it really feels like one of those days you're closing the building after an extended day at work. The floors being all the same is cool for that big corp in a big building vibe but it's kind of boring for the eye, i wish they were some variations. In terms of gameplay it was too slow for me. I found the idea of fixing the power outage before it was to late pretty cool but after some long minutes of just wandering around I kind of lost the interest. I also felt the game was too dark or the flash light too weak. The controls were nice, nothing to complain about that. The total absence of sound bothered me a lot, even simple footstep sound would have been enough. I think you were really close to make the perfect atmospheric office game if it wasn't for that slow gameplay. Congrats and keep making games !

Amanita by Bastinus Rex 2020-04-29T21:28:13Z

But I didn't wanted to feed him... you made me you monster D:! The graphics are cute and pretty nice, the small planet effect is well done. The gameplay is cool but a bit repetitive. The mood is top noch ! I love the change of ambience when the thing start to really grow. Good job !

Finterior Decorator by illuminegames 2020-05-02T21:59:31Z
