LD38 — A Small World

Space Travel 15 by jk5000 2017-07-31T17:17:11Z

Great game. It starts simple but it gets better and better as more airports are added The only downside is the UI. I had to move the mouse all the way from one corner of the screen to the other very fast and finding airports in the 3D world is not fast enough in later stages. Not sure if that's how you planned it.

Great work!

Goodbye, world! by chromableedstudios 2017-07-31T16:48:54Z

It's a fun game and it has a lot of potential, but it took me some time to understand that you're supposed to play with friends. Good work!

LD39 — Running out of Power

Ride Out by Stending 2017-08-20T21:54:25Z

Nice game!

I agree with most comments above. Obstacles don't match the music flow too much for a music game. Feels like a regular runner, with good music and art. Also, it would be nice to have a score or time so you know you're making some kind of progress, other than the levels themselves.

And I hate myself for this comment, but it would be nice that the lower part of the screen (the one in where you actually play) changes as the background does. For me at least, I couldn't help but staring at the beauty of the mountains and forests, just to look back to the same old of corridor. Then again, it's a 72h game.

Other than that, the game might not be innovative, but it is really fun and well made. And the art and audio are amazing!

Great work!

Pipe Trek by quill18 2017-07-31T19:10:33Z

Great idea and funny to play. There isn't much depth on the gameplay, but it has a lot of potential Nice work!

Game of Life by StaNov 2017-08-08T21:36:59Z

I think the game has a lot of potential, but it might need more polishing on the options. For example, "Play a hobby" could be changed for "Play the guitar", "Draw a painting", etc, each of them with slightly different stats. I hope you get to work on it after the compo. I do like the fact that your stats decreases with age, like energy. That's a nice touch. Great work!

Crazy Squirrels by IgorsGames 2017-07-31T19:53:04Z

Not an easy game, but enjoyable. There are a lot of details. And I got an achievement too. Great work!

ROBOT POWER by Imphenzia 2017-08-16T13:58:28Z

I like the graphics and the controls are quite good. I agree that it would be nice to be able to control the jetpack in the air, but that would change the rules, I guess.

I also like that you can speed up the intro for each level. Nice detail.

Great work!

Apocalypse by Manafest 2017-07-31T13:53:51Z

It's quite challenging. I like it

There are some typos in the How to Play section: "destoryed" and "absoped"

Sparm Rece by SojaBird 2017-08-21T18:58:54Z

I like what you did with the theme. It took me a few attempts to understand how to play, but I got a boy in the end. It seems to me that you shouldn't care for the other players since they all die before reaching the end. It would be nice if at least some of them survive so you feel like you're actually running against other... creatures. I've never lost against other runners and the winning strategy is just to survive until the end. I like the idea of obstacles, too.

Nice work!

Be Queen Bee by LucasMolina 2017-08-12T14:37:04Z

Nice game! And the art is great too! Excellent work!

Power Surge by danielilett 2017-07-31T17:48:48Z

Please put a download link!

Messages In The Void by Olowynd 2017-08-02T22:41:16Z

Great atmosphere! The game is simple but original. I like the way the story is unfold and the different endings.

Is it just me or there is no Quit button?

Great work!

Mars Mystery by wolar 2017-08-02T22:21:01Z

Great game! I agree that it has a great atmosphere. I reached the third level where you see the goal quite early but you can't reach it that easily. Controls take a little time to get use to, but after a while they become really intuitive. Good work!

Player in the Dark by loyance 2017-07-31T19:47:22Z

Great game! A bit though at the beginning. But the good kind of hard. I kept dying before the ending of the first screen because I wasn't noticing the energy bar.

Nice work!

Yet Another Exhausted Day by Gao Ming 2017-08-12T14:34:05Z

Amazing idea for a game! It's fun and challenging at the same time. Please make more levels! Great work!

Reserve Battery by Vehem 2017-07-31T17:47:23Z

The game is fun and quite challenging. And I liked the idea that every shot counts because you run out of power. And I like the audio too. Great work!

Lead by pvtroswold 2017-07-31T16:57:31Z

Good game. The art and the music reminded me to the old Atari 2600 games. You should add more levels Good work!

Pain That Binds Us by Jungle 2017-08-04T21:53:31Z

Amazing game and story!

It is much more deep that one would expect from the screenshots. I like what you did with the theme and how the story unfolds to the ultimate twist. The art is great too! I like QTE when they are use to tell a good story, like in your case. I think the gameplay is just perfect for the experience you're trying to accomplish.

Great work!

Fluffy Racer by pfeyffer 2017-08-01T01:29:44Z

Like the art and the mood, but I agree you need to add a tutorial. Nice work!

Faade by Ace17 2017-08-01T19:14:02Z

Nice art and audio! I couldn't pass the second stage, yet. I think it gets too difficult with both the screen effect and the fact that you can't see much when you are low on power. Great job!

Who Wants to be Alive? by ysty 2017-07-31T18:30:50Z

I liked the game. Controls were a bit weird and I didn't got too far, but I'll give it another try later Great work!

Cranked 1911 by zee 2017-07-31T23:00:37Z

Great game! Really fun to play. And a great idea too. In one of my sessions, my car ended up on top of another and I couldn't get back into it. But it was fun to watch. Nice work!

Circlebots Share by belser 2017-08-03T16:56:36Z

Great way to use the theme! The game is fun to play and has a lot of potential. The third level is excelente and it got me hooked. The instructions are clear, but an in-game tutorial will be much better. Nice work!

Skubot by monkeybit29 2017-07-31T20:40:32Z

Great idea! Controls are a bit weird, though. It seems that the best strategy is to leave the grabber somewhere close and then bait them with the apples.

Good work!

Last Hope by mintarcade 2017-08-08T17:25:24Z

I like the mood of the game, but I agree is a bit hard to understand what you should next. And the ship layout is a bit confusing as well. You may have static maps posted on the walls in some sections to understand where you are at any time. Good work!

Star Power by Simon Millard 2017-07-31T22:52:55Z

Amazing mix of card game and asteroids. Nice work! I couldn't understand the order in which cards are played in a turn and it seems to me that they all do it at the same time. This game has a lot of potential. Congratulations!

Defend Home: Mars by sgt3v 2017-07-31T20:22:08Z

Fun game, with lots of potential. Nice graphics and sound effects! I see this game becoming some sort of FPS/Tower Defense in the future, with levels and a store for improvements and weapons. Nice work!

Heal The Dark Lord! by Coauctor 2017-08-16T13:51:26Z

Amazing art! And the game is a lot of fun to play. I really like what you did with the theme.

BTW, the controls need a bit more polishing. I'm playing on a Mac and having to use the CTRL and arrow keys triggers the desktop switch. Also, if you tap down and jump, you end up flying upwards a great distance (not sure if that that is on purpose, but it doesn't feel right).

Again, great work!

Spacy adventure by egordorichev 2017-08-03T16:24:19Z

Amazing game! It looks good, it plays good. My favorite so far! Controls are great and responsive. And the upgrades are quite balanced. I like the difficulty level. It's hard, true, but not punishing. It encourages you to keep trying.

Great work!

Breathless Parks - Running, out of Power by gonutz 2017-08-01T01:11:28Z

Love the game and the theme, but I agree that the speed of the controls is too high for me. Nice work on the characters too!

Breathless Parks - Running, out of Power by gonutz 2017-08-01T01:11:39Z

Love the game and the theme, but I agree that the speed of the controls is too high for me. Nice work on the characters too!

Run'n Score by MatKubik 2017-08-02T22:09:17Z

A nice runner with great graphics. It's fun to play Nice work!

Metal Behemoth by spliter 2017-07-31T22:43:08Z

Nice work! The movement of the robot is slow, but I guess that's how it supposed to be because you're a giant robot after all.

Programmer Energy by sn0uk 2017-07-31T18:59:21Z

Fun game! I like the sound effects too Great work!

Demonic Powers by gilborn 2017-07-31T16:41:53Z

Extremely addictive. Great work!

Ludum Dare Simulator - Click your way to the top of Ludum Dare leaderboard! by Nufflee 2017-08-21T18:43:20Z

Nice game. I'm not a fan of clicker games, but I did enjoyed yours for a time. Power consumption doesn't seem to improve much after upgrading components. Even upgrading the Survivalist Kit didn't feel like much. I agree with the rest of the comments in that you need more balancing.

Good work!

The Sorcerer's Apprentice by donvermo 2017-08-16T13:42:54Z

I agree with the comments about the controls, but also the kickback when you get hit is too big. On my case, I was getting hit by a tower when trying to jump to a higher platform and the hit made me fall several levels. It was a bit frustrating and I had to force myself to keep trying.

Other than that, I really liked the game. The art is fantastic and the sounds are pretty good too.

Great work!

LaserDefense by Gildar76 2017-07-31T18:15:09Z

I like the idea and it has potential. But I think it needs more interaction from the player. Good work!

Flower by skippuku 2017-08-01T00:20:40Z

I was about to say that I liked the ending, but... that ending...

Nice game! Love the graphics and the atmosphere. It is true that there's nothing that indicates that the robot is the one running out of power (I thought it was the human) and that's why you don't understand why he's the one dying at the end.

Also, in the well, if you die after you collect the key, the game still remembers that you have it (even when you see it in the screen)

Good work!

Hope Glider by Spotline 2017-08-21T18:51:44Z

Great game! I like the physics simulation and while the controls seem hard at the beginning, they are great once you get some practice. The music gets repetitive after some time, but the art are amazing.

It would be nice if the spawn points for the energy pickups is a bit less random. From time to time, they appear right next to a wall, making them impossible to get until they move a little.

Really nice work!

Sugar Rush ! by Behenate 2017-08-19T16:46:03Z

It's quite hard to get the wall jump to work, at least on my end. It took me several tries to pass the first section only. I know the game is supposed to be hard, but you should play against the level design, not the mechanics. A little more impulse in the other direction should help. Also, the first level should be a bit shorter, maybe split it into several "floors". That way you cheat the player to make him feel like progress have been made. After that, give them hell :)

Other than that, the art and sounds are good and I like what you did with the theme.

Great work!

Mad Trax by boats 2017-08-03T16:36:24Z

Nice game. I like the mechanics. It took me a while to figure out that I could click on the black/white boxes to upgrade the train. Maybe you should add some indicator. The art is great, although the audio grow old quickly for me. Great job!

YOU MUST RUN OUT OF POWER by jorjordandan 2017-07-31T19:34:01Z

Great idea! I would love to see this game as a mobile game with tilt controls Nice work!

Gradient Descent by Zelos 2017-07-31T18:09:05Z

Beautiful game! My favorite so far. Amazing! The only thing that didn't worked for me is that it took me some time to realize that I had to go right after collecting the first 10 orbs. Maybe you should make that a little bit more obvious. Great work!

No Sorcerer's Sky by TheFlyingKeyboard 2017-08-03T12:39:15Z

It took me a while to figure out the basic controls. I agree with the rest of the comments in that you need to revise the UX. Having to press ESC to close the menus is not intuitive (I played the game in HTML). In addition, whenever you picked scraps, it would be nice to have a simple feedback mechanism to understand what type of resource was updated.

I did enjoyed the game once I got the basics mechanics working. I liked the music and the game over screen too. I wasn't expecting that. I also liked the easter eggs, like the flying cow.

Great work!

Exodus: Fleet Commander by Saithir 2017-07-31T16:05:56Z

I really like the idea for the game, but I think it needs more work. It took me a couple of play sessions to realize how to gather fuel and then the game ends after the first jump to a different sector, with lots of lives lost in the process. It needs more balance on the first screen since most of the time I couldn't find enough fuel for one of the ships. I believe this has lot of of potential and you should keep working on it. Good work!

MotherBoard by nikrt 2017-07-31T19:20:16Z

Great work! It's a fun and engaging game, with a great idea. And I love the visuals. For me, it wasn't quite clear why to shoot instead of using kills. Seems like the firepower is quite limited

Lantern by Kaban 2017-08-02T22:55:40Z

Simple, but with a great mood! The artwork is amazing Great work!

Temple of Illumination by Johngun 2017-08-03T12:46:17Z

Amazing game!

I like the music and art. The shadows really add to the mood. And the controls are great too.

This game has a lot of potential. I only played the first couple of levels, but it would be nice to have different challenges.

Great work!

The Little Miner by vipbasil 2017-07-31T16:37:08Z

I like the mix between asteroids and resource management. And the tactical decisions of using the collected energy for buying upgrades. Great work!

The Political Juggle by Phlip45 2017-07-31T17:54:15Z

Really funny game. Simple and challenging. Great work!

Hominem Ex Machina by pushxtonotdie 2017-08-03T16:43:07Z

A very interesting game. I like the writing, although I couldn't build anything during my play sessions. Only wanderlust and then "Nothing found" But then again, I like the concept of the game and I look forward for a new version. Good work!

The Power Factory by Swifttech 2017-07-31T18:36:40Z

This game is fun and has a lot of potential. Yet, there are no real progression other than keeping the generator alive for as long as you can. Also, avoid creating the map with the generator at the borders, because that limits the amount of connections that are allowed I liked the art and the sounds. Great job!

Will Power by William Derksen 2017-07-31T18:54:24Z

Love the introductory video. It's a bit hard, but the mood is great. Great work!

Fear Of The Dark by ArttuK 2017-07-31T16:11:46Z

Great gameplay! Love it

Jerry The Donut Eating Engine Driver by TheLukker 2017-07-31T15:13:06Z

I like it! Very funny. Indeed, it's not clear what you have to do at first. Maybe you can add a help screen or just a brief tutorial (like collecting your first item). Nice work!

Sparkman Adventures by Lamm 2017-08-10T13:19:44Z

Simple game with great art. I like how the controls feel. I don't like that enemies kill by simple touching you. Maybe you should take some energy out instead or add hit points.

Great work!

LifeRunner ~~~O by ruba 2017-08-02T22:13:45Z

It's quite challenging. And the theme is very funny. Controls seem to have a bit of lag, but I guess that was on purpose since you're... well, swimming, right?

Great work!

Pathfinder by Invixel 2017-07-31T16:33:27Z

Same thing here. I even tried creating a folder with that name, just in case, without luck

PLUG ME ! by Ramou 2017-08-10T13:21:36Z

I like the game and what you did with the theme. The art and sound are great! Nice work!

HE BEAT HER. by Angela He 2017-08-02T22:49:39Z

Amazing artwork and sound! I'm still trying to get the other endings I agree that you need more options or clues to understand what you can do Then again, amazing work for the compo. I can't wait for the next release!

Universal Powers by Snowy 2017-08-08T17:27:24Z

A simple game, but very well executed. I like the humor and the references to other things. This game has potential and you definitely continue it by adding more choices. Great work!

Energy Scraps by Royoyo 2017-08-10T13:03:37Z

I really like what you did with the theme. The game is fun, engaging and challenging.

Jumping it's a bit hard, as you always jump the max distance. It should be proportional with the time you're actually pressing the jump button. Also, some colliders are interrupting the jump and it's hard to predict whether or not you'll succeed. By the way, I got no damage from falling from high ground. I reached the top of the world and then fall, but didn't die.

The level layout is great and enemies are well placed.

You should add more feedback for actions. For example, when you improve your stats, there's no way to tell if you reach the max level (I guess I did because I couldn't buy any more in some stats). In addition, add some sparks or other FX when enemies are hit, that way the player will know it.

Maybe you should add an extra option for "checkpoint". Like, spending 200 energy on creating a clone. That way, if you die, you don't have to restart from zero which is a bit frustrating.

And, of course, the art is amazing. I read your article about it too.

Great job!

The Circuit by jchaplin 2017-07-31T19:30:42Z

Hard game, but I really enjoyed it Great work!

Power House by OmnipotentIndie 2017-07-31T16:53:01Z

Simple and addictive. I like it! You should balance the enemy waves to be a little bit easier at first Great work!

Sperms and Passwords by Snirp 2017-07-31T17:42:04Z

Can't find the file anymore. Please check the download link

Lost in Translation at Space by elmismopancho 2017-08-19T19:49:01Z

Amazing game! I love the voice recognition mechanism and the overall design of the game. Great work!

Trouble in Paradise by mariandev96 2017-07-31T15:26:07Z

I like the simulation part of the game. But for some reason the people is walking outside of the ship. Here's a screenshot

Screen Shot 2017-07-31 at 12.22.27 PM.png

It seems to be related with the window size. Check this other screenshot:

Screen Shot 2017-07-31 at 12.24.00 PM.png

I enjoy the game, although I couldn't find a way to win it yet

Good work!

The P.U.R.G.E. Protocol by hhsaez 2017-07-31T14:55:15Z

Thanks for the feedback! And the crash report too!

The P.U.R.G.E. Protocol by hhsaez 2017-07-31T19:38:23Z

@phlip45 that was my original idea, to be sucked away to space upon losing. But due to time constraints I had to cut that out. Audio was a different story, thought, as I never really had any intention of adding it, fearing that I wouldn't have enough time (not that I did).

Thanks everyone for the feedback!!

The P.U.R.G.E. Protocol by hhsaez 2017-07-31T20:06:36Z

I didn't have much time to spend on the questions, so I made them up based on friends or things that I knew beforehand. Originally, I was supposed to implement puzzles too, some of them involving chess movements or dragging objects, but they didn't make the cut in the end.

It's supposed to be some kind of IQ test and I guess I got that right based on the feedback I'm getting.

Thanks for playing!

The P.U.R.G.E. Protocol by hhsaez 2017-08-02T20:29:03Z

Thanks everyone for the great feedback!

@gonutz, I'll try and upload a new windows build with 32bit support as soon as possible. Thanks

The P.U.R.G.E. Protocol by hhsaez 2017-08-11T12:26:47Z

Priority and Expendable are both part of the story of the game. One always goes up, the other always go down. Look around ;)

Thanks everyone for the comments! I'll be doing a postmortem shortly

The P.U.R.G.E. Protocol by hhsaez 2017-08-18T14:19:24Z

Hi!

I just uploaded a new version for OSX fixing input errors and crashes

Thanks everyone for playing!

The P.U.R.G.E. Protocol by hhsaez 2017-11-06T15:41:12Z

Thanks Jupi!

Enerzoid by eXr 2017-07-31T18:40:31Z

Good game, specially for mobile with tilt controls. The ship moves a bit too fast for keyboard and it was hard for me to collect more than 6 or 7 orbs at the same time. But it definitely has a lot of potential Nice work!

POWERBEAR by flarphengarg 2017-08-01T19:01:13Z

I agree. It's fun and has a lot more than expected at first glance Great work!

Forty2Eleven by rEaX 2017-08-03T13:14:05Z

A solid space shooter. I did enjoy it, although the story interruptions were a bit too much for me, because they break the flow the action. The controls are great, as well as the art. I agree that this game really needs dual stick controls.

Nice work!

Proto472 by uzyfeo 2017-07-31T16:25:07Z

Love the music. Great work!

Wayside : A world awaits you by TheCodeFactory 2017-07-31T18:24:36Z

Great game! It's fun and challenging. This game has a lot of potential One of my favorite games so far. Good work!

Powerless Miner by MajamiLTU 2017-07-31T17:04:53Z

Great work! I liked the fact that the game doesn't end just because you can't see. You can memorize the paths. And you added enemies as well. This game have a lot of potential! Congratulations

Battery Low by krishnasism 2017-08-03T13:00:39Z

It was a very interesting game to play. I think it has a lot of potential and you should keep working on it after LD. Maybe adding touch controls The music is not that annoying and you can always turning off.

Good work!

Lost Soul by daviddiagonza 2017-08-03T13:06:52Z

Good game! It took me several attempts to try and understand the basic mechanics, but I had fun. I like the fact that each body has its own properties. I wasn't expecting that. Graphics are great and really add to the mood. This game has potential. You should and endgame or victory condition (at least I couldn't find anything else to do other than possessing the bodies).

Nice work!

The Color of Days To Come. by TheOneThatNeverWas 2017-08-04T00:32:51Z

An amazing experience. The graphics, the sound, the music, everything was well place to tale a great, but sad, story. I had to run it in compatibility mode too (win 10 here), but no other issues. Again, great job!

CowPow! by Quemagalletas 2017-08-03T12:56:51Z

Very funny game! Controls are great once you get some practice and make the game really challenging. Versus mode is where the game is strongest.

Great work!

Torch Boy by FloBar 2017-08-02T23:05:09Z

I agree that the first level is too hard (at least for me). But I really like what you did with the theme Good work!

Mana Manager by bebop 2017-08-02T22:29:33Z

Great game! It's quite original. I like the way you applied the theme to your game.

It would be nice to now how much the spells cost or how long until they recharge. Like separated energy bars for each one.

I like the diversity of enemies as well.

Really well done! Congratulations

Smash ball by Sivael 2017-07-31T18:46:21Z

It's always fun to smash things! Frame rate was great on my computer. Nice work!

Maze Escape by Akerspoket 2017-07-31T20:45:33Z

Found it! Great game. I agree that there's no way to tell how many light balls you have at any moment. I like the mood and the sound.

Nice work!

Shadow Crawl by Connor Hagan 2017-08-03T12:51:03Z

A solid game with a great mood. It was really fun to play Great work!

a story about a cat by increpare 2017-07-31T13:26:14Z

That ending... I liked the game. It took me a while to figure out where were the exits of each section. Although I'm not sure if you should make it easier. After all, you're a cat. Anyway, great job!

Powerless: Trump Teaches Typing by RootPew 2017-08-03T16:30:35Z

I like what you did based on the theme. The game plays nice and it's funny. You should add an instructions screen (just an extra lines in this page will help). Maybe it was me, but I didn't realize I had to type the words until I read the instructions in Kongregate.

Great work!

Dorgus Needs Power! by WillData 2017-07-31T19:59:56Z

Love the recoil of the gun! That was a nice addition. The character moves a bit too slow compared to the enemies and the jump feels weird. Other than that, this game is great Nice work!

Winter has come by GistNoesis 2017-07-31T14:44:09Z

I like the balance of the game. Well done!

LD46 — Keep it alive

Egglicious! by miningape 2020-04-20T22:33:53Z

It took me a while to figure out how to play, but then I enjoyed it. Great work! Specially in art/mood.

The trade off between protecting the egg and attacking enemies is very well done. I got really nervous at some point.

I think the only change I would do is to start with the game paused, showing help screen (the one appearing at the top of the page). I died several times just because I was reading the instructions at the top.

Again, great work!

Farm Life by jomoho 2020-04-20T23:00:17Z

Nice work! Font sizes are very tiny, though. Great game!

The Ludum Dare Flame 🔥 by tobiasw 2020-04-23T12:08:24Z

I love this game! It's a great take on the theme and kind of a social experiment too. Great work!

MÄHBÄHRT by tomdeal 2020-04-20T23:26:15Z

I like it a lot. Great graphics and gameplay. Controls feel great too! I like that you only to reach a certain percentage to win the level, but I feel like you should be able to keep playing to score more points.

Great game!

The Cat's Journey by magnusfurcifer 2020-04-20T12:33:14Z

I liked the game idea!

Have you noticed that it is possible grab one platform and keep it with you all the time? The platform seems to go away after a while, but it kind of break the mechanics, since you only need to worry about getting one platform every once in a while. Maybe you should make them disappear faster.

About catching mice, maybe it was me, but I didn't notice any side effects regarding eating/not-eating a mouse other than the challenge of getting them. Am I missing something?

The generated music was really cool!

Also, I ran the game in a browser (Chrome) and sometimes it was a bit difficult to grab and drag the objects. Seems like it was a performance issue.

Great job!

Turbogotchi! by joemag 2020-04-26T18:31:24Z

Nice game! I lost 4 of them after just 7 days. The other two lived for 10 more days. I guess that's why I don't have a pet :p

Great work!

Parental Instinct by Fatsheep 2020-04-23T21:19:49Z

Great game!

Pig For Slaughter by PotatoAndTaco 2020-04-22T21:22:13Z

Great use of the 1-bit art! I was expecting a twist at the end, like the pig becoming some sort of demon that ends up eating you. Controls are really responsive.

My Friend Vac by AgeNtNicK 2020-04-21T21:54:22Z

I like how the drone flights. It's a bit challenging at first, but in a good way. Graphics are great, but sounds become repetitive after some time.

Great work!

GhostVac by christina-antoinette-neofotistou 2020-04-25T12:35:37Z

Great game! The 3D effect is very well done! Congrats!

Operation Asteroid by SvartTand 2020-04-21T12:38:51Z

I like the idea, but I think the game is too difficult (played on Easy). The manual fire is not really useful, since it's too slow and the asteroids are really fast. You can zoom in, but then you lose visibility. I guess that's a good trade off, but they're just too slow. Maybe you can change them to be instantaneous hits instead? Also, you should add some moments of relax in between attacks so we can plan and buy new turrets. Thanks!

Keep the Fire alive by RilleP 2020-04-21T12:59:28Z

Great idea! Burn Burn Burn!! Congrats!

Hacking is Probably Not Like This by sayumeki 2020-04-25T13:10:14Z

Amazing game!! Definitely one of my favorites! You managed to do a lot in just two days. And you also added a practice mode, which is really helpful! The story is very well written, too.

I had a great time with your game. Congratulations!!

SideKick by Paul Nadan 2020-04-23T21:18:13Z

Great game! And a very nice use of theme. You did a lot of things in just two days. It's challenging and fun. Congrats!

The Ill Divinity by Solah 2020-04-21T12:08:05Z

Great game! Controls are really responsive. How do you exit the level with no yellow macrobias?

Congras!

Majestic X by hhsaez 2020-04-23T11:15:17Z

Thanks @jupiter-hadley!!

Your Pet Alien by AdonisDevs 2020-04-26T21:10:54Z

I like the concept of this game. Great use of the theme! I think it has a good balance between doing chores/getting food and keeping the alien hidden from mon. But it would be nice if you can tell where she is. Having her appearing at random breaks the immersion for me. Or maybe I'm missing something. Other than that, the game is great and it does bring you back to classics like ET or Mac & Me. Congrats!

Exolvuntur by PxGluz 2020-04-22T22:20:47Z

Great atmosphere! I played it at night, with lights off for an increased effect. I like the writing as well. It might be a bit repetitive as you make progress

Great work!

Please Stay by topbraj 2020-04-21T12:45:55Z

Great use of the theme! Congrats!

Elemental Babysitter by gquibao 2020-04-22T22:18:58Z

Great idea! I like how you end up generating some kind of music when interacting with several elementals. Dragging the cubes that were further away from the camera was a bit hard. Specially when there are too many of them.

Great work!

A Lost Child by Klaus Peter 2020-04-22T21:29:45Z

I like the concept of this game. I couldn't save the kid, though. Controls are ok, but sometimes I get stuck with either the fire or the kid himself. Congrats!

ALL CAPS: The Incident at Puppy Canyon by KyMakesGames 2020-04-22T22:11:47Z

Great game! The typing mechanic is implemented perfectly. The "song" when you die made me laugh Great work!

Final Instruction by toasteater 2020-04-21T21:49:36Z

Great game! It's a bit overwhelming at first since there are so many things to do. But it's amazing that you managed to do all that in a weekend. Graphics and sounds are incredible.

Great work!

Beware the Dark by Lone_Wolf 2020-04-21T21:59:48Z

Great game and mood! This is a really good concept game. I like the mechanics. It becomes too easy after you learn how to play. But it's still good. I would change the dead state so we can start playing again immediately, as others pointed out.

Congrats!

The fisherman task by Huntrox 2020-04-22T12:42:35Z

Amazing game!

Some feedback:

* Great art style and mood! * Boat controls are good. * During the fishing minigame, the arrows disappear too fast. Sometimes by the time I press a key there's another one already. * Also, sometimes the arrows get behind the seagulls and you cannot see them. * Controls are a bit laggy in the minigame. * I have mixed feelings about the minigame for catching a fish. On one hand, it contrast with the idea of a relaxing game. You're sitting in the boat, listening to a relaxed music and the sounds of the seagulls and then you're typing really fast to get the fish. It feels odd. But on the other hand, it does feel like actual fishing :) * The UI is great, but the text is not readable enough. Maybe because of the color palette. * The theme is a little underused, but it's ok (same happened to me) * I bought the equipment for other fishermen, but they never show up. How long does it take to start seeing earnings from them? * You should change the music during the fishing minigame.

Overall, I love the idea. If you polish it a little more and implement some additional features, you'll end up with a really good commercial game

Congrats!

My Pet Rock by GameGenesis 2020-04-21T21:34:32Z

Great game! I think you achieved a really good mood with both sounds and graphics. As others pointed out, the falling objects are a bit frustrating because there's no way to dodge them. I tried moving backwards whenever I heard a sound, but that didn't help much. But considering that's the only thing I didn't like about this game, I say that you did an amazing job! Congrats!

Precious Animals by despdair 2020-04-21T12:48:16Z

Nice game! It's easy to understand how to play, but hard to master. And very addictive! Congrats!

Protect the Egg by njm_games 2020-04-22T21:50:30Z

Great game! The dual pistol mechanics is really well done. I didn't use it much in the end, since it seemed more effective to fire straight ahead instead. But I think is a great concept that you can use in other games Levels feel a bit long, specially considering you cannot pause the game. Sometimes I just needed to take a break after some intense fights.

Great work!

Cthulhu: The Cult Must Not Die by LaserPanzerWal 2020-05-01T12:18:35Z

This is an amazing game! The art and gameplay are great.

The game might need some polish, specially with regards of controls, but you can tell there's a lot of work here for a jam game.

The HTML version has some performance problems. Frame rate seems low and the music has a lot of noise. So, I downloaded it and it played smoothly.

The other issue I found is that text and UI in general are too small. Is it because I'm playing on a Mac with Retina display?

This is one of my favourite games so far.

Great work!

The Light Child by hulien22 2020-04-20T23:48:15Z

Great idea! It took me a while to understand the goal of the game, but then I had fun. It starts slows, but then it escalates and become really challenging. Good job!

Rescue turtles by A-312 2020-04-20T23:32:12Z

I like the idea. I think it needs more challenge, though. If I just kick all the seagulls first, then I can easy save the turtles. It would be nice if the seagulls come back after a while. Or some other enemies.

Graphics are great :)

Good job!

Keep Him Alive by Convg 2020-05-01T12:26:07Z

This is hard game, but I had fun with it.

Some comments: * The art style is simple, but works. * Controls are a bit weird. The character has too much inertia for my taste. But it's very responsive, so that's good. * The game is too hard at first. You should scale difficulty a bit. * I didn't see any use for the coins. What am I missing? * You should add some screenshots in your post.

Congrats!

Keep Him Alive by Convg 2020-05-01T13:07:03Z

@convg you can edit your post and add screenshots if you like. Just remember to click "Save" before "Done" so changes take effect.

Keep Him Alive by Convg 2020-05-01T14:17:33Z

@convg it's ok as long as you don't change the game itself in any significant way (that is, beyond fixing bugs).

Dog Walk Danger by Patrick1 2020-04-22T22:07:17Z

Great game! I like the art, to be honest. I think it does gives the game some personal touch. I also liked that the game restarts pretty quickly after you failed. I think that's a must in these kind of games and you did it. Thanks! Third level was my favourite. It took me a while to realise what I had to do and then it hit me.

Congrats!

War of the Flies by Cjblobby 2020-04-27T21:12:56Z

Congrats on finishing your first LD!

I had a lot of fun with your game!

Here are my comments: * As others had mentioned, the instructions screen takes a lot of time to go away. But I think the real issue is that they're not clear enough. For example: you're mentioning that you can grab the water drop with the mouse, but you also need to hold down the left mouse button. * The color of the projectiles does not contrast enough with the background. At first I thought shooting was not working. * The Goliath bug should have a different color. When you're focused on the enemies and finding water, you don't really notice there's another threat to the plant. If you use a different color, the play can spot him even if he's not really looking. * There's no sound, right? If so, you can opt-out for votes on that category

Great work!

Cupid's Arrow Inc. Difficult Cases Division by SolitudeDude 2020-04-20T23:41:24Z

I love what did with the theme! Great idea!

Font size is too small for me. And there's too much text. I some point I realise that text doesn't matter and you just need the points, which is a shame because this is a great game to focus on the writing (which is very good). An improvement you can make in the future is to hide the points. Make them implicit in the text. So you have to read the text and figure out what strategies you use.

Again, great work!

Message by NoamRaz 2020-05-01T14:27:24Z

Very fun game!

Graphics and mood are great. I also liked that you have zero respawn time after dying.

Controls need a bit of polish, but I did have fun. You should try playing around with the camera, changing zoom levels for example. Sometimes is hard to see what's coming or how to jump. Also, sometimes you get stuck to the corner of a platform when jumping.

Congrats!

Build with Haste by Fryer 2020-04-24T11:22:44Z

Simple and fun game! Mouse wheel was not working for me (played using Chrome/OSX). Other than that, the game ran perfectly and I had a really great time with it. Great work!

Social Distancing For LadyBugs by mehrdadsh 2020-04-23T12:15:53Z

Congratulations on your first jam game! The game plays nice and it's kind of relaxing for me for some reason... I don't know. The movement of the bugs is really well done. The ladybugs, on the other hand, are always too close together and easy to avoid.

Great job!

BUBBLE BOY by NEKORUMA 2020-04-20T23:11:21Z

This is awesome! Gameplay is a bit simple, but I think it's perfect for the game you did.

One thing for you to think about if you plan to improve this game in the future: at some point I stopped looking at the animation and just keep clicking the buttons. I didn't even have to look at the status bar for each of the actions. Just click. What would be a good reward for the player in order to look at the screen? No idea, honestly, but I think if you can figure out, you'll have a great game in your hands (pun intended).

Great work! One of my favorites :)

Disasteroid by bigboyman 2020-04-23T12:01:58Z

Fun and challenging game! Controls are very responsive. Congrats!

Tusk Til Dawn by BlaiseRascal 2020-04-20T22:43:12Z

Amazing game! I cannot guess pass the boss :( It would be great to be able to delete units. At some point I had lots of cavemen that do little damage but had founds to buy muy powerful units.

Great work!

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Alice Unlimited by ARuculaDoMal 2018-04-25T15:07:46Z

Great game.I had to download the windows client because the web one was too slow for my computer. Maybe you could add some settings.

The game is challenging and it took me a while to understand how to move based on the mouse.

Good job!

Typer Boost by petitpois 2018-04-24T23:50:48Z

I really enjoyed this game. I usually ended up typing most of a word and leaving the final letter to actually jump the next obstacle, although in some situations the word was too long and several obstacles were too close. Maybe it needs a bit more balance. But then again, great idea! It's really fun Good work!

In My Car by przekop 2018-04-24T21:14:21Z

My favorite game so far. The only thing missing is a map/rear mirror to know where are your rivals. Great work!

Suit 'em Up by Ntimi 2018-04-25T14:11:40Z

I like the art of the game. And it's quite fun to play too. Do the clothing have any effect on the character? I couldn't notice any change while playing. That would be nice, though.

Great work!

Tennis Defense by kassanu 2018-04-25T01:32:36Z

I like the mix of themes. The game is fun, although I agree with the comments above about the zombies on the far edges. Not only they are too hard to hit, but also because of the timing of the balls sometimes it's impossible to do it. You should also add high scores Great work!

Crystal Library by Goplite 2018-04-26T13:46:31Z

This game made me really tense while I was playing. I liked the atmosphere and sound,as well as the randomness of the elements in the scenario. Great work!

Felocity by Adam Wallberg 2018-04-25T14:59:51Z

Great game. It took me some time to realiza I can collect some of the things the enemies shoot. Maybe you can highlight them somehow to make that a little bit more obvious

Good work!

Infinite Typer by theamazingb 2018-04-25T13:40:55Z

Great game and quite challenging. The character runs a bit too fast for me and I end up dying a lot. Maybe consider adding a difficulty setting for the speed. Good work!

Colossal Cat Adventure: Maze of the Elder Gods: Lazer Turret's Revenge Part 2... by Arch 2018-04-25T01:41:46Z

Amazing game! It's really fun to play and challenging. Great work

Judgement Day: The Board Game by hhsaez 2018-04-25T01:11:13Z

Thanks for all the comments!

About the story, at some point during the development I knew I would't be able to complete the game and I had to choose between adding some graphics and audio, with just enough text to justify each encounter, or going all-in on the story. The latter seemed to me to be the right call. I'm glad you're linking it.

@Arch about that crash, some of my friends are getting random crashes as well. I'm working on trying to identify them and hopefully I'll be able to come up with a fix later.

Thanks again everyone!

Judgement Day: The Board Game by hhsaez 2018-04-25T12:22:22Z

@theamazingb actually, the roll mechanic for board movement is already implemented. My original idea require a lot more spaces and each of the zones in the map were supposed to contain more rooms and more encounters. Due to time constraints, I couldn't implement more rooms and the roll mechanic didn't make sense anymore. I'll check the spelling error.

Thanks for the comments!

Judgement Day: The Board Game by hhsaez 2018-04-25T14:17:23Z

Hi everyone! I just uploaded a new build with bigger texts and some fixes Thanks for playing!

Judgement Day: The Board Game by hhsaez 2018-04-25T14:20:02Z

@Arch check out the latest build if you have the time. I fixed several crashes and it's much more stable

@theamazingb I improved text readability in the latest build

Thanks!

Judgement Day: The Board Game by hhsaez 2018-04-26T15:23:50Z

Thanks for playing and the great feedback!

Grenade Golf by pickledbrain 2018-04-24T22:07:22Z

I like what you did with the themes. You ended up with a pretty fun game. The texts were not working for me, even with Mac client. Great work!

Fish & Ships by Jnyrr5 2018-04-25T00:06:58Z

Great work! Fun to play and I liked the graphics too. And the whale :)

Zombie shooter FPS Top view by Tomáš Selmeci 2018-04-26T13:09:07Z

Good game. It took me a while to get accustomed to the controls. I think that you should aim with the mouse when you're in top view, since that was my main issue with the game. Also, it's hard to see the bullets when in top mode.

Great work!

Kingdoms of Marazia - MMORTS by Siedge 2018-04-25T01:24:51Z

Hi guys. I did manage to enter the game one time, but then I wasn't able to do much and the character was not moving. I tried to reload but now I'm not able to login again. I'm playing on a Mac, in case that's useful.

gxf1 by JLV 2018-04-25T01:49:22Z

I like the writing the humor. It's true that it's short, but I did enjoy it. Maybe you could enhance it with a "choose your own adventure" kind of gameplay, depending on whether the player decides to follow orders or not.

Great job!

Turn the Fight by Andreas Roschal 2018-04-24T23:56:49Z

Amazing game! I only had the chance to play against the CPU, but I'll try play with a friend as soon as can. If I had to add anything to this game is a difficulty setting. But I think this project could easily become a full comercial game with just a little work. Great work!

Good Hamster — Dead Hamster by Sandy Marcius 2018-04-25T14:51:26Z

Great game! It's very fun and replayability is very high and you can try different initial conditions. And the audio is perfect for the game.

Amazing work!
