Very well polished infinite runner, if you could fix that first platform bug it will be almost perfect execution wise, and you did everything by yourself, you should be proud! 😄

Very well polished infinite runner, if you could fix that first platform bug it will be almost perfect execution wise, and you did everything by yourself, you should be proud! 😄
I think it's a pretty polished simple game, although I think the theme for this one is "Your legs are currency" and you can live without legs! Anyways, good job with your entry!
aa.PNG Very cool game, the only thing I would change is the interaction with the levers as it was kind of buggy and activate multiple times instanteneosly. Besides that very cool level designs with nice mechanics. But, is a soul a life? Have plants souls?
Screenshot (5).png 400$, el juego mola bastante, sobretodo por la originalidad en la interpretación del tema. Una cosa que no me ha quedado clara son los cuervos, ¿cuando están cerca te devalúas más rápido?¿Aparecen solo a cierta altura? Pero bueno ya que veo que los 3 desarrolladores soy españoles os escribo en español. Buen trabajo 😄
Capture.PNG I had a long run on the 2nd try, so the easiest way to get score was to sit just above 2 speed so the hammer doesn't catch you and wait for the multiplier. Maybe you should make that the more coins you have the bigger is the poop you make and give more points with the poop rather than the coins so that it encourages the player to get more than 16 coins and be "safe" with 2.04 speed.
The sound was a bit annoying after 15 min but hey it's pretty cool I guess. The art was very appealing 😄
However with this game I feel like the theme "Your food is currency" rather than "Your life was currency".
Anyways, good work and keep it up!
Theme: Cool game, although we avoided making a game with this concept due to the similarity to the entries of the previous Ludum Dare.
Bugs: The game had a bug that when sticking to the wall you couldn't jump. Also you can just wait on the top platforms for the enemies to accumulate there and they can't do nothing about it.
Upgrades: The life regen upgrade was a bit overpowered for the price. All the rest were good.
Design: The music was good, and the pixel art was on point. Maybe to spice up more the gameplay some camera shockwave when hit/ being hit would be a good addition.
Props for making this game and keep it up!
Screenshot (4).png Welp, I finally completed it after 5 tries. Very fun game to play for only having 4 enemies. You guys used a genre I wouldn't see with this theme and you did it very well. Props!
Great game but i think was too heavy for a wev game so it felt a bit laggy, also I couldn't pay the retirement fee although I had enough money for it. Superb entry considering you worked solo. Good job 😄
Cool concept but couldn't even finish the Level 1 as the shooting thing bugged and I wasn't able to shoot at the triangle enemies at the end of the level. I downloaded the Windows version if that helps to solve the bug. I think i couldn't shoot starting the jumps over logs thing.
I didn't understand the trader, and the first try I collected 130 memories and my screen turned totally gray. You can't really tell which memory is positive or negative. But the atmosphere was very well achieved, I felt lonely and and a bit sad while playing this. You have a talent to enhance the atmosphere so work on the gameplay part and you will get a very good game. Keep it up!
Really impressive level generation and interesting hacking system. Also the melee taser is overpowered. Was fun to play for a bit although I don't think it suits this jam's theme because you are not buying anything is more like a "Your life is fuel" more than "You life is currency". Anyways, good work and props!
Electro market for life, gonna build one of those IRL thanks to this game, EZ money EZ life. Jokes aside, entertaining game, the music is very chill to get through building everything, pixel art works really well with this concept and no noticeable bugs.
Solid entry, props!
The WebGL version runs very laggy for me, the stealth thing is very cool tho, gonna download now the windows version
You are really good at enhancing the atmosphere, I was submerged on this world that you created. I agree with you that the theme of this Ludum dare is quite similar to the other one, but maybe you should've tried some other outputs before giving up the theme.
Good work and let's hope you like the theme next LD!
I didn't know billionaires where able to use Unrelenting force and Tax attack. Really makes you think. Silly fun game to play with someone for some laughs, maybe you should change the controls for player 2 to more generally present keys that doesn't make you scroll page or anything like that
The concept is cool and is a fun game, although for future projects give more importance to the ratios, the stats were super tiny compared to the whole card and the game didn't fit in one screen with 1920x1080 resolution so you had to scroll down to take a card every turn which was a bit annoying.
But overall it's pretty well done. Props!
As @wie said, the game needs a tutorial, although I read the rules on this page it was hard to do, also there was a moment in which I had a "trooper" in the top and couldn't move it or attack anyone, also, how are the coins acquired, only through killing enemy troops or every turn you get one? If it had clear rules it would be a good strategy game, but as of now it can't because I don't know what I can or can't do.
Anyways, if you can explain to others how your game works in a mini tutorial it will improve a lot the experience. Good work and cheers!
The concept of the game fits in the theme but I think the values of life given by monsters killed are too high, you can grind every upgrade with less than the half of the total monsters of the map. And those upgrades made you too overpowered, only by adjusting that you could get a much more entertaining game.
The vfx are very cool and were being run by my computer smoothly.
The only bug I've noticed when completing the game was that the arms get through the cloak, but nothing that really affects the gameplay.
Good job and cheers!
Very simple game that runs very smoothly, fits very well the criteria. Props!

Fine Line Mine by spyranteros 2021-04-28T23:25:16Z ♥ 1
Really pleasing aesthetics and sound, game-wise though, it needs to spawn a little bit more gold because as of now you lose even if you get all the gold available, but that's just a little tweak. Also, that canary breathes gold??? must a hard to mantain pet xD
Deep Asleep by Sestren 2021-04-28T23:14:02Z ♥ 2
Nice old school game, I accidentally entered to the boss fight 10 seconds into the gameplay because of Pokemon trauma with hidden objects. I really liked the boss fight music, the boss dialog music on the other side would have given me a headache if i had to hear it for a bit longer. No bugs found so it's better than Cyberpunk 2077. win.PNG
Sblaaf!! by Thob 2021-04-28T22:36:37Z ♥ 2
Nice audio and visuals! Apart from a few bugs here and there such as respawning and immediately losing while being able to move or dying and havin the lose screen not pop up it is a pretty solid game! Here is a photo of the second bug, happened on the WebGL version: bug.PNG
I completed the game and got this score, record.png I think i could improve it if I can land the double rock punch-through at the end. Cheers and keep it up!
Darkest Forest: The Legendary Tree Hunt by agrdev 2021-04-28T21:59:42Z ♥ 1
I encountered 2 softlocks in this game in 4 or so runs, the first softlock is getting to the limit of the map that, for some reason makes me unable to move, the second softlock is to get to the legendary tree and being unable to cross a narrow path where I came from because of the inability to chop while carrying the tree. This game would've had a much stronger creepiness if it had some sound effects, such a shame.
Anyways, for the rest, great map and visual effects!
Gold Digger by ThatmanRobin 2021-04-28T21:28:50Z ♥ 1
Damn what a rollercoaster of emotions, first it was pretty chill, then it went to Disco mode and when I found the gold I had been looking for 10 minutes a sad movie credit song came out.
If I could change something about the game it would be something to make the car position correctly as I were facing down for 3 solid minutes. Very fun game overall!
Deep Voice by mdotedot 2021-04-28T21:07:45Z ♥ 1
Very original concept, my natural soprano voice was obviously a handicap to play this game xd.
Jokes aside, the game is very novel but I think it needs a taller playfield because as of now it doesn't feel like "use your voice pitch to change height" game and more like a "can you mantain a low pitched note for 60 seconds?" game. Anyways, cheers for trying a not so approachable mechanic!
Surface Level by DecadeDecaf 2021-04-28T20:36:23Z ♥ 1
Beautiful art and music, pretty chill. The games are also pretty chill, if they were harder it would kill the mood of the game. Cheers!
Just Dig by TwoWolf 2021-04-28T15:14:25Z ♥ 1
@twowolf very nice sound FX and art style, looks really polished for 48h in those aspects.
Game-wise there are a few things that I think need to be fixed in order to make this game feel better: -After a certain depth the procedural generation stops working and just repeats itsel until the end -Sometimes the camera lock and doesn't follow the character xAxis-wise -There is a bounce(?) that scales with the speed of the background that if you are digging down only, there will be a time that no matter what, you are going to lose because you bounce up so much you are out of the screen -The break stones buff should be repurchasable just like bombs. After the first time it doesn't replenish when dying -Jump digging is very awkward and basically unusable
Other than that, the game, as I said looks very polished, visual and sound wise. Good work and keep it up!

Virtually Deeper by Glaikunt 2021-04-27T13:19:10Z ♥ 1
Very good audio and indeed chill, the game broke a few times for me, you should make the hitbox of the melee visible, as well as making the "initiate combat" thing only possible when in range

good atmosphere, music and art! the only thing is that it is a chill game with a chronometre so feelings are mixed lol

super pretty game but I can't relate it to the theme, also if you hold the mouse button to to the flip it bugs sometimes
Rusty goes Deep by etom 2021-04-27T02:24:24Z ♥ 1
@etom Great idea! But for me the controls are a bit frustrating, the platforms seem to be made from ice because of how little friction they have. Also there is a bug when the player hits the edge of a platforme, it starts wobbling a bit. Anyways, solid game and keep it up!
Same Floor Again by castrolol 2021-04-27T02:06:36Z ♥ 1
@castrolol Hi Castro! Long time no see! We participated together in Ludum Dare 44 and geta jam7 back in 2019. I played your game, it is very clever lol, I gave you your first rating 😄 I participated solo in the compo if you want to check that out. Cheers!

@neverautomatic Very satisfying game, if it had sound it would be even more satisfying!
the sunken place by RomeRomey 2021-04-26T16:31:09Z ♥ 0
@romeromey Very simple fun game. As long as I'm aware there are 3 chunks of the level 2 premade and the middle section procedurally generated. I think that it would be better if the player had less control of the jump, think something like "Jump King". Anyways, cheers and keep it up!
Deeper Into Technical Problems by thesambassador 2021-04-26T15:59:04Z ♥ 1
@thesambassador Super fun game! Second one I found with the "go down and shoot to go up", for me it didn't lag that much. Also, I found a bug that is if you start to play and don't move, just shoot, a block is indestructible.
Robo-Driller by Famicon80 2021-04-26T15:30:53Z ♥ 2
@famicon80 best digging game I've played so far! It's the little details that make it fun, like the moving obstacles, the TNT being careful with the troglodite spawns, the combo system... The only thing a bit confusing was the save button, don't know what that does, it only saves the score for the next run? is it a panic button?
Afraid to Turn by rhoff95 2021-04-26T14:38:43Z ♥ 2
@rhoff95 i collected 5 berries interacted with the pot and gave me an item, still lost, is the win screen not made or it was a bug?
Diving Festival by ultrashel 2021-04-26T14:23:55Z ♥ 1
@ultrashel i would add soundfx and something in the background to make it feel less static, besides the bubbles. For the rest, good game with interesting mechanics.
Down the Dwarvern Hole by TheseusInABottle 2021-04-26T14:14:11Z ♥ 3
@theseusinabottle lovely game, great aesthetics.
Things I would change: -Make swords stackable as you don't have to backtrack that much -Make the music loop longer to not cause an aneurysm to the players lol
Mind Dive by LitmusZest 2021-04-26T14:05:22Z ♥ 1
@litmuszest Great music and SFX! However, I would change how the character moves as moving with keyboard feels a little bit wonky and hard to control, maybe something to do with mouse/pointer position? Anyways, solid game. Keep it up!
Deep in the Well by TheNiceGuy 2021-04-26T14:00:47Z ♥ 3
Great game, only thing I would improve is that when the debuff appears you move towars wherever you were going. If I was going to the left, the debuff is "it is harder to go to the right" and an obstacle appears near the left wall, it is impossible to dodge. For the rest, pretty good!
Stare by Rewdas 2021-04-26T03:52:48Z ♥ 1
@rewdas Good void model/shader and great Sound FX/music.
Could be a fun game but there needs to be more feedback to the player, things like where is he shooting, making an effect when receiving damage, etc. The other aspects where very good but as a game it isn't very fun to play at the moment.
Hope Springs Eternal by kory 2021-04-26T03:43:26Z ♥ 2
@kory very psyshedelic and pretty nice for a first game on an engine! If I was the developer I would slow down the movement speed a bit, it is hard control especially in the moving "edges".
Have you used any other engines? I would like to know how you rank them.
