LD45 — Start with nothing

Cradle of the void by notime4games 2019-10-11T22:56:07Z

Fantastic mood Fantastic graphics Fantastic sounds Fantastic fitting to the theme Fantastic idea no really this is just great, What a hit ! Best game of this Jam I have tested so far.

totally love the narration !

Also love dual control with mouse+keyboard, been wanting to explore things with such controls for long on platformers-ish games

Mouse sensivity was slow in my case, but I like the impetus in the movement. I see many people suggesting you add hints, but I think it would be very difficult to do without taking something out of this game. At the same time, I found myself clueless in front of this gate for a long time, but so happy I played it through :)

Guess this kinda game is not for everybody to love the same.

have I told you how great this game was ?

Cheers

Nice idea that fits the theme ! My favorite type of those little creatures are the little dots. I love how they walk around in groups when you make a bunch of them at once.

I think I might not have seen everything in this in a single playthrough though.

graphics are cool sound is cool as long as you don't go overboard with this brush (which I obviously did, who wouldn't ? :laughing: )

I would have love to see more interactions between the different "types" of creatures, but I guess this was enough work for the last three days eh ?

Good job team :thumbsup:

Congrats ! You're the boss of the arena @manomeu ! Happy you enjoyed it :)

Server Error by FreypodGames 2019-10-07T21:58:10Z

The idea looked cool so I cliked and tried it. I laughed at this joke of an email lol I hope this will never happen to anybody (or maybe to this youtuber nobody likes but that keeps making millions ?) ANYWAY, back to the subject.

I thought it was cool to have this "top of line" computer to make videos. I have played a moment and then realized I was not having any fun :/

Graphics are ok but the some text is difficult to read.

There is no sound at all, it doesn't help to make this game look alive!

Unless you literally wait, you can't really lose because you just need to purchase every video upgrade in final cut.

To make this better, I think there should have been more mechanics that brings ore challenge and more choices with unpredictable outcomes.

For example, there could have been a Twitter application you need to check to know what type of video you need to do to get more subscribers (and/or money). You could also use this application to check if there is one of your videos causing a scandal, in which case you could choose between taking it offline, or giving a public explanation (which could have a positive or negative outcome based on some conditions you would have set up :smile: )

Congrats on making a bugless game alone.

By the way, if I had been making this, I would have added a crowdfunding app to whine and take money from my remaining subscribers haha

Cheers :)

ZERO: UNDIVIDED HEROES by DjindeGames 2019-10-13T11:37:48Z

Had much fun playing this little game. Love the sprites and the music.

The mouse control made me a bit dizzy. I understand why the camera would move when changing shot direction, but movement can get brutal when you move your mouse too fast xD Also, an auto-shoot feature would have been more confortable to play (with medium-slow fire rate so that there is still something to get from clicking like crazy)

very fun game to play I think it's one of the bests I have tried so far

cheers from Nantes :cheese:

Memory Palace by MattWagar 2019-10-09T19:45:14Z

I was a bit puzzled when asked to make up a story linking icons at first, and then very surprised when asked to remember the icons I had chosen. Then I found myself finding all icons again with surprise. Now I think about it, it's not this surprising because this is how I'm learning japanese kanjis : by making up stories about them, and that's what everyone should do to learn to learn.

This is an amazing game to teach you something about your memory and challenge your creativity. I think you should build it up and spread it.

I have 2 ideas to build this up : - make a server for this to store the stories of everyone who participated to this game - Add music and sound effects

This is already a lot of work for one person in 3 days. Congrats dude.

Fitting to the theme pretty basic graphics but do the job well ! (I would have expected some Fx but that's purely personal) no sound is disapointing but hey, it's so good already most importantly, I had **fun**

Cheers

NOTHING : A sentient ascendency by Rooster And Frétillant 2019-10-07T23:09:12Z

same as yaroslav here

DEVOURER by 4quet 2019-10-07T23:01:40Z

Easy to get your hands on.

The balance also feels great ! I enjoyed how it was getting harder and harder as the devourer got bigger. Question though, can you actually eat this big fatty that keeps following you ?

Got the feeling the lasers were getting a little bit too unfairly intense on the end but hey, I had fun !

Good graphics great sound design Fitting music adding up to a mood fitting the game, its title, and the theme

bravo :clap:

Stake by Manomeu 2019-10-09T20:26:13Z

not bad for a first game ! I hate children so I didn't really enjoy the game (nor those creepy sounds lol have you recorded yourself ? xD) but I think it was a nice idea to make a different snake.

Fitting the theme nice humor (who would make that many babies really ?)

can't praise the innovation here

Can't say I had fun playing this, but that's based on personal preferences.

Also, I don't understand why hitting your babies would be a loss ? because babies kills the erotic atmosphere ? xD

I understand this was probably a lot of work already, especially if you've learned how to do it along the way ! (checked those credits, codemonkey looks cool)

I have an idea to make this game more interesting and fun, if you would like to try it. Children usually grow-up right ? Why are they forever babies here ? Babies stacking at the begining of your tail would start growing up as time passes in-game. When they're "adult", they come off the tail and start wandering on their own on the map. They become moving obstacles the player must dodge in addition to his own tail. Maybe they could steal the "food" or do other crazy stuff to make the game harder and more fun. What do you think ? @Jaumwa @mamoneu

It is so simple and yet so fun. I love how technical it gets with the shape shifting.

It's a great idea, and you went a bit further with binary messages that turn to letters and the floating digits in the background.

It's a cool and fun platform game.

Tiny Asteroid by JD Parker 2019-10-07T23:34:51Z

Very good mood, such chill, enjoyed playing it, but couldn't find how to use the reactor :(

I agree with aaranos for the build menu but it was still cool to play.

Just not going for a 5 stars because construction games are TYPICALLY games where you start with nothing. I think this idea could have been taken a little bit further.

5 stars for the mood though, so chill man :D

cheers
