VierEcken by YsenGrimm 2013-04-30T16:39:00

A very good game but in the beginning it's too hard.

silly squares by lightsoda 2013-04-29T21:30:00

The Minimalist Fisherman by Hiku 2013-04-29T14:48:00

Thank you everyone! :3

For the keyboard, I should have put the arrow keys, indeed. For the moment to make QWERTY Shift + Alt :)
And sorry especially for the beach which is filthy, I'm really bad at drawing.

LD28 — You Only Get One

Data Stains by Evilion 2013-12-18T11:25:00

You should explain the game a little more, but when I understood it I liked the idea :)

Burning Love by Ted Brown 2013-12-17T14:36:00

Really hard but fun :)

The Trials of Chad by Aaants 2013-12-17T20:03:00

Peaceful Greeting by Jilt 2013-12-16T03:42:00

Nice ! Enjoyed it.
This is really funny to speak with aliens :D
However, a little bit too short.

Flowing Death Fist by turnA 2013-12-16T14:14:00

No more need to have skill to achieve high score, I liked it x)

Epic bird fight by Hiku 2013-12-16T13:58:00

Thanks :)
I fixed the display bugs of shop and money.

You Only Have One Egg by teuchito 2013-12-18T12:13:00

The only way to know the commands is to read the source code é_è
And there are not enough commands, but it was still fun :)

Miss Red by Daniel Debert 2013-12-16T14:30:00

Light was good but levels were a bit too long for me :o

SPELLBREAKER by jdpalmer 2013-12-19T16:45:00

Wow this is cool even if the tweens are too slow :D

Who's the Worst Person in the World? by whiteknife 2013-12-17T14:31:00

I had a little trouble to read it all (I'm french), but it was still very nice :)

You have to go up by pressing up.

LD42 — Running out of space

Sphere by Ntimi 2018-08-14T16:23:49Z

Nice graphics and gampeplay idea! I liked the fact that the swarms can push you even if you walk towards them. It was a little bit repetitive though, when you understand that killing ennemies gives you enough energy to survive, it gets somehow too easy ^^'

Sir Dashaton by tjakka5 2018-08-14T14:00:47Z

It seems like I can't see neither the hero nor the ennemies :x I'm on Windows tried both the Windows x64 and Windows x86. Your game seems funny though, I'd love to see it working ^^

OutThere by mrsylar59 2018-08-16T21:38:33Z

"Ok, ok, I'm at 5 planets, 2000 food, 100 fuel, 50 passengers, I'm now going to get off this plaaaaAAAAAASTEROID NOOO"

^ happened like 20 times haha. I couldn't finish the game ^^' But really nice job, it sure is entertaining!

Claude Van Clamme Presents: Agent Poing P.N.Guin's Terrible Penguin Panic by The Enigma 2018-08-14T15:20:07Z

Nice game! Discovering the different ice patterns was pretty fun, although I think most of them are way too hard to climb haha ^^' I often got caught in a loop like this:

GotCaught.png

If you're in this kind of loop, you have no way to survive, you're forced to jump if you don't want to fall, and you can't go on the platform. But I'm not sure how you could have managed to avoid this problem :o

Claustrophobia by DomenPelko 2018-08-14T14:53:50Z

The claustrophobic mood is really well made! And the ennemies' animations were nice too :3 There were a few problems, though: - When I finished the game, I couldn't see my score, it would have been great, usually you don't want to watch your score just before you die :o - I'm not sure if making a shrinking room was necessary with your gameplay, because the player would die in a short time anyway. I didn't feel like the shrinking room was the main problem if I wanted to survive. I think simply filling the room with ennemies would have been enough to make it ok concerning the theme ^^

SteamRush by Tralius 2018-08-14T18:20:28Z

Nice! The good music really made it entertaining, it was a really fun game to play! There's a problem with the dashing system, though. The only time you really need it is when you're in front of a 1-wide path with holes and you have no other option than use the dash. In times like this, it's very hard, I couldn't figure out how to ^^' Maybe it would have been easier with a controllable jump? That's almost the only thing that killed me. I never got out of the 3 lives, maybe one life would have been enough :o And I never got to the point when there's no floor anymore either, maybe it should have been quicker.

Amber's Space by Hiku 2018-08-14T19:39:38Z

Hello @alexkishchinskiy, thanks :) Oops, it's a narrative problem then, if it's not clear what happens ^^' We put more effort on the story than on the gameplay haha. What happens after you get the banana is supposed to make everything easier to understand o:

Thanks @mrsylar59! Yeah, I don't think the levels are too hard once you know the objective, but they're hard to understand ^^' Woaaa someone compared our game to undertale haha, thanks :3 About the fact that you stop on collision, I wanted to remove this, but I didn't have time to do so ^^'

LD52 — Harvest

Carrot Conundrum by blinry 2023-01-10T10:48:41Z

Wow! That was really awesome. Very original, and some great level designs! Well done!

Sanity Farmer by deadgoodnik 2023-01-12T18:55:39Z

During the whole game I was like ":o"

Great entry, very original!

Hex-Yield by AndideBob 2023-01-13T20:27:17Z

Awesome! Loved how relaxing the game is, and the concept is great :)

Harvest by Cloistered 2023-01-10T14:18:18Z

Hahaha! The game was incredible!! Loved stacking dinausors like they're tetris pieces. The game is a bit glitchy, but it only makes it funnier.

Seeds of Civilisation by Istaera 2023-01-12T18:52:00Z

Nice game! I think the rotation should be a bit slower, you need a lot of precision when aiming for stuff. Also I played with X pressed during the whole game! haha

Great entry overall, though :)

Harvest Stone by Kongo 2023-01-10T14:52:40Z

Story was great, voices were great! The game was awesome overall!

Click to harvest by noskro 2023-01-10T09:24:48Z

Nice game! I liked that the controls were intuitive and the seed booster packs were fun. I feel like the days should go a bit slower, because I never actually had to wait for my crops to grow, since I could do research/buy boosters in the meantime, and the boosters animation was quite long. But it was fun overall :)

Straight Line Farming by DrawRunner 2023-01-10T12:32:03Z

@zungryware Thanks for your feedback!

A level-by-level structure would have given us two choices: either generate the levels procedurally, which would have cost quite some development and could fail, or have a finished amount of handmade levels. We made the choice to instead have a replayable experience (that we could easily do a paper prototype for) where the player could try to beat their score by optimizing their choices better. I think handmade puzzle levels would have been a great minigame feature though! Next time, if we have a bit more time, I'll think about it. Thanks for the idea!

About the multiple clients purchase: If you don't buy it, you can't really optimize your decisions, and you end up taking a lot more time to complete the game. But I agree with the fact that the downside of buying it (more risky) can make the player a bit reluctant, so maybe we shouldn't have added the deadline feature?

About the size purchase: It was supposed to be more useful later in the game, when you get more and larger orders. But in order to make the game a more enjoyable experience, we decided to shorten it a bit, and to make it a bit easier, which made the size purchase a bit unnecessary!

Straight Line Farming by DrawRunner 2023-01-10T13:41:09Z

@zungryware Yeah, that's how we designed it ^^ But it's not clear enough for the player, which might get a bit lost, you're right! Thanks for your feedback!

Straight Line Farming by DrawRunner 2023-01-10T22:25:22Z

@bearacus We added an Android download link! ^^ Feel free to play it as much as you like :)

Straight Line Farming by DrawRunner 2023-01-12T23:54:33Z

@bloodycoin Thanks for the feedback :)

Yeah, I think those are great ideas that we could definitely have implemented if we had a bit more time ^^

I think we joined the jam a bit unprepared, after a week of work, and we could have gained almost a full day if we were better prepared and organized. The fact that we still managed to make a game that we're proud of makes me very motivated for the next ludum dare!

About the technical side: 1. Hmm? I can't seem to replicate this, it highers the deadline on existing orders when I try to, and they only leave when they hit 0 :o Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

2. Yeah, the first order is prefered, so in a few cases it seems weird. In this kind of cases I think the choice made by the game should always be the one that works best for the player, I didn't think of a better solution to that during the jam. I think the priority should go to the largest order, right?

3. I actually think the most important thing we could have added to the game is the tooltip thing, I definitely agree with you!

Rollin' by Spaint 2023-01-10T13:36:17Z

It was fun! The level design is awesome, I really loved it! Rolling on fruits and not bringing them with me sometimes was a bit frustrating, especially when there are a few of them in a row on a path. The jump also has this kind of issue. For example here, I couldn't jump, so I was locked! locked.png I could escape by releasing all the fruits, but then they all got stuck in places where I couldn't get them anymore haha.

Anyway, great game overall!

Eden Harvest by KeichiTS 2023-01-10T14:36:52Z

Woah! I love the mood of your game! The art is simple but great! I would love to see this game finished :)

Y-COM: FIELD Defense by Metzkermeister 2023-01-12T18:26:41Z

I liked the mood of the game! It's pretty fun just to move around and kill stuff. It gets a bit repetitive after a few minutes, but it's still a good entry :) Well done!

Forget-Me-Not: Harvesting Memories by eddrw 2023-01-10T13:08:44Z

I loved the mood and the art style! It was a bit hard to know what I was supposed to do exactly, though. The plant didn't grow at all :(

Organ-ized Crime by ZungryWare 2023-01-10T10:15:35Z

Loved it!

Chic hen's harvest by TanguyLcr 2023-01-10T15:16:54Z

The rooster was awesome! It gets a bit repetitive after a few days, but I liked the ambience of the game!

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Barn by Lila Pause 2023-01-10T21:47:27Z

I liked the concept and art! The pace of the game is too harsh at the beginning, each attempt at the game ended the same way: me dying after 20 seconds. Having enough time to check your surroundings and understand the mechanics would be great! Other than that, the game seems great! Good job :)

God Control by chlu 2023-01-10T13:03:17Z

Nice concept! It lacks some feedback, as it's really hard to understand what does what. For example, the thunder sometimes made all values go up, and sometimes all go down, in situations that looked alike. I think a preview of how the values would evolve would have been a great addition!

Esflora by TooSalty0000 2023-01-10T09:44:00Z

I like the idea of making it a puzzle! It was also very nice to have a tutorial, but it stops once you know how to plant seeds and harvest, and I didn't understand the relationship between what I had on the field, the blue thing with a "+" or "-" on flowers, and the target. Maybe the amount of plants should be reduced for the first days. Oh, and the plant ideas were nice! haha
