LD37 — One room

I wanna One Room by pieceofcheese87 2016-12-16T03:20:00

I Don't Really See How This Is One Room

Harmless Titan by oyoh 2016-12-13T22:36:00

Great game Looks Good
but kind of short though

Mayan Massacre by Inventivum Games 2016-12-13T19:51:00

Sorry about all the Html game errors it should be working now.

And yes to start the game you have to press the pause button in the top corner

Ballroom by wendelscardua 2016-12-16T04:01:00

Is there Supposed To Be One To Few Balls

Smallest Dungeon by Reuno 2016-12-14T00:39:00

Absolutely Amazing Best Game So Far Good Graphics Good Audio 5/5 Game.
Its A Pity The Download Doesn't work :(

Royal Rise (Online Multiplayer) by thebrickanator 2016-12-13T22:23:00

Great game But Your Character Is A Bit To Big It Makes It Hard To Fit Through 1 Block Gaps.
But Still Great Game Its A Great Game

Outlast The Flood by MattWoelk 2016-12-13T22:53:00

good game i Only got 2:29 :(

LD45 — Start with nothing

Dargontz PNCA by Lord_404 2019-10-07T04:13:50Z

Loved the Idea, way better than your average clicker game but audio would have helped a lot

Bearly Alive by bjeaurn 2019-10-06T23:10:04Z

Nice game the notification to say I'd won didn't show for me, after I'd found the mummy bear I wasn't sure what to do

Light Bots by Inventivum Games 2019-10-07T00:07:00Z

@gerugames it was pretty difficult to balance the difficulty

@blobo Thank you so much, I myself am impressed with the art as I'm a programmer not an artist

Light Bots by Inventivum Games 2019-10-07T05:51:51Z

I guess playing it so much for testing, the difficulty curve became skewed.

Light Bots by Inventivum Games 2019-10-07T08:20:41Z

@gerugames @zwodahs @jwiggs @toppervideogames Post Submission V1.1 is available for download if you'd like another go

Light Bots by Inventivum Games 2019-10-07T08:51:23Z

Thanks for the feedback, out of everything the music is my biggest regret but I'm no composer, also there's a checkmark in the menus to turn off the music which I personally think makes the game better, its more fitting of the atmosphere.

Light Bots by Inventivum Games 2019-10-07T19:16:07Z

Thanks everyone for the feed back, for anyone getting stuck on the tall level with two bots I not sure if everyone realized but the first switch has to be flipped multiple times as you cant make the jump otherwise, also I see a lot of people found the graphics to be confusing at times I tried to make the level composition consistent, also by forcing the player to fly through the pipes in the first mission I hoped that it would help.

Light Bots by Inventivum Games 2019-10-07T19:20:13Z

@corrade Thanks for the feedback I had wanted to have a lot more of a narrative throughout the game but I ended up having to drop a lot of it due to time constraints. I do however plan to continue this game after the ludum dare so keep an eye out if you're interested.

Light Bots by Inventivum Games 2019-10-09T09:14:02Z

Thank you all for the feedback, and a special thanks to @kunonooni and any one else that finished the game its nice to know that someone made it to the end and enjoyed it

Light Bots by Inventivum Games 2019-10-20T18:30:35Z

Thanks for all the feedback, if any of you would like to see more of this game you can follow it's development on my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdUEiTLbC868WDNkaUlbMXg

Adrift by jwiggs 2019-10-07T05:39:54Z

cant play as it asks you to put a thruster onto your ship and the only thing I have wont work and looks like a Gatling gun, please fix cause this looks fun.

Ship Rekt by talslain 2019-10-07T22:49:52Z

neat game I am impressed that you took the time too make an inventory system, however, the prelim noise didn't look so good it probably would've been better if you'd just had a blue sky made drew some clouds on it, also the game crashed when I talked to the other survivor I pressed down while already in the dialog box and got an error, but still great effort.

Space Cell by CiaranW 2019-10-07T22:13:44Z

Game doesn't work gives this error "Unable to get property 'getParameter' of undefined or null reference"

Space Cell by CiaranW 2019-10-07T22:40:43Z

It works after downloading it, pretty good game, however, the screens to small and couldn't seem to find any use for the loot and while I was building my ship initially I got hit by a meteor and lost my gun, maybe a delay before meteors spawn.

King of the Goo by BenPeterson 2019-10-08T02:51:21Z

Really liked this game would be cool if as you killed enemies it would unlock DNA sequences on the side panel to make things a little easier, as I played the game for a while and couldn't find anymore so I assume I got them all, but it would be nice to know.

Ürsoup by J0ye 2019-10-07T21:47:10Z

Great game, would have been nice if as you got bigger some of the enemies would spawn at a larger size so that you always had someone to run away from, also I found a small bug where if you get teeth while your still small the red enemies will chase you even though you can eat them.

Aloneland by Kubeec 2019-10-07T22:34:14Z

At first I was confused but after a while I figured a few recipes and then I just experimented until I won, but for some reason I can eat sharp rocks but not normal rocks that doesn't make sense I should be able to eat normal rocks

Oriopia by TheMuffinMan314 2019-10-07T21:10:37Z

I agree that the exploration kinda seems pointless but its still a very nice game.

Yogurt's Quest by Aurailus 2019-10-07T00:24:58Z

I agree that the star section lasted a little too long and I unfortunately died (more times then I would like to admit) so when I got to the actual game I was a little bit annoyed and I didn't have as much patience to finish the game off, but other than that great game with beautiful art.

Ludum Dare Simulator by Marcin J 2019-10-08T01:15:50Z

Great game, but as mentioned by some others some times the fifth card is doubled up which some times allows you to skip the night.

LD45 - Square World by ZwodahS 2019-10-08T03:21:37Z

This really good, be cool if there was a lightning strike or something to manually remove stuff that you don't want (I'm looking at you fungus)

Ludumdare45 "Platform Draw" by cellphone 2019-10-07T07:26:45Z

404 on the link

Planet Z33 by LanaLux 2019-10-07T05:30:37Z

Reminds me of planet noveo and for that I love it, also I accidentally died on the first day and upon restarting never got attacked but I didn't realise until reading the above comment

Run... Away? by blint6 2019-10-07T07:41:23Z

don't be so hard on yourself its a great game for a first jam.

A Quiet Realm by Tobias Froihofer 2019-10-06T23:43:17Z

This game's actually pretty fun, however, the turning speeds a little fast and when you eventually get to the next planet on the html version the lag was really bad, but other than that good game

Orb Override by MusicBlox 2019-10-07T00:58:51Z

after claiming an orb it only produced 100 peeps and then stopped and I was unable to buy the gui upgrade am I doing something wrong? as the game seems pretty interesting.

Robo-Fort by geoff.nagy 2019-10-07T07:53:23Z

Graphics are fantastic for a jam game!

From Space by AskingQuestions 2019-10-06T23:53:36Z

Great Game loved the idea would have been cool with some turrets just to make things a little easier just so you don't have to worry as much, also the controls are a little to floaty it makes navigating the base hard as there are small bridges you have two run on, i think it would be better if there were no collision at all and you could just fly around the base, anyway great game.

Ghosts And Bombs by Lomt1k 2019-10-07T01:12:32Z

Pretty neat little game, would have been cool if the player had some abilities other than the bomb like a dash or something and of course more enemies one that cant go through walls would be nice.

birb. by dygar 2019-10-07T07:35:04Z

Cant seem to go through the last door just jumps me back to the hub area

Shape Invaders by GeruGames 2019-10-07T00:36:52Z

good game, would have been fun if the upgrades came faster just so you could experience the game as quickly as possible, however, I guess that would make the lag even worse.

Build up Speed by CantThinkOfName 2019-10-07T04:19:42Z

Good job for making a game without your typical engine

FUD by zenpj 2019-10-07T04:53:43Z

it says on the itch.io page that this was a submission for mini jam 38 is this a mistake? otherwise interesting game.

LD46 — Keep it alive

Supply Squad by Inventivum Games 2020-04-20T05:01:02Z

Thanks so Much.

@nikos I thought about adding music but it would be so bad everyone would just turn it off anyway

@ndrw The score can be seen from the pause menu, I just prefer to have little/no UI

Supply Squad by Inventivum Games 2020-04-23T07:21:45Z

@thecrancher totally agree I made the mistake of rushing to much at the beginning and by the end I ended up having a bit of free time but not enough to rework all my spaghetti code, also thanks for playing.

Supply Squad by Inventivum Games 2020-04-24T10:23:22Z

@eoshadows thanks, the targeting was semi intentional as with limited time I wanted to focus the game on "Keeping It Alive".

Supply Squad by Inventivum Games 2020-04-24T20:45:34Z

@radow thanks a lot for playing and leaving great feedback, it is a little funny that your list almost exactly matches my own.

I had planned on having some kind of resupply mechanic requiring you to return to the convoy, and also Audio has never been my strong suite, I'm kind of lucky the game has audio at all.

Dear President, by Badosz 2020-04-20T21:49:41Z

great game, my only criticism is the font for the planes, I lost because I thought a plane was trying to trick me with a close but not quite name but it was just the font confusing me.

Gravelighter by radow 2020-04-24T21:02:42Z

Fantastic Game, Graphics were good and the audio was amazing, really set the mood.

Mammoth Expedition by Abdurrahman Khallouf 2020-04-25T00:29:29Z

Fantastic game especially for a ludum dare, Managed to survive my first run only just, it lasted exactly 30 days

Schroedinger's Daughter by xarona 2020-04-24T23:43:47Z

very clever idea, however, became difficult to keep track of after a few splits.

Steven Saves The World! by shaner421 2020-04-24T23:29:10Z

great game, the only problem I really had was you had to hit the enemies feet and if you click there the arrow goes toward their head making difficult to battle on the horizontal axis

BBYS by Lambdanaut 2020-04-20T04:49:48Z

The game seems way to hard, I feel like you should much more damage

Drag-On by puma3 2020-04-20T04:22:07Z

Same, gets most of the way then stops

In A Game Wherein by SSStormy 2020-04-24T01:40:55Z

Very clever and fantastic writing

Test-a-ball by JAsonsumm1 2020-04-20T22:06:12Z

The webgl is really laggy for me so I tried to download but that won't start.

Keep chicks alive! by Sleeping Panda Games 2020-04-24T23:55:51Z

this game is great, a perfect game for a ludum dare short, challenging and polished, far to many people (myself included) try to hard to make larger games and they never have the same level of polish.

Do not venture into the darkness by Sergio Gonzalez 2020-04-20T04:34:05Z

Can't play, window just closes

Do not venture into the darkness by Sergio Gonzalez 2020-04-20T05:14:11Z

@sergio-gonzalez That's probably it my computer's pretty trash it's an APU with AMD Radeon R4 Graphics

Asteroid Redirect Project by master_spike 2020-04-20T22:16:54Z

same can't play

Life of a Battery by EOShadows 2020-04-24T00:28:04Z

good game, the black and white art style is good, (might be a bit biased as I used similar for my last Ludum dare)

Overthrone by Phibian 2020-04-20T21:34:59Z

Had a glitch where I was pushed into a wall by some fast moving enemies, and also it felt like the range on your sword should have been a bit higher or your hitbox a little smaller as sometimes I'd take damage because I was trying to get close enough to hit the enemy.

Still a great game.

LD54 — Limited Space

Plate of War by someoneman 2023-10-04T03:58:34Z

Nice game, big fan of vampire survivors and then plate mechanic was neat, though it took me a while to figure out how to move the items, I was trying to click and drag, to limited effectiveness.

ForkerLifter by Dingbat 2023-10-04T05:18:34Z

As a forklift driver, I can say that this is a perfect recreation of the difficulties of operating a forklift, and this is 5/5 use of the theme, love it!

LD54 A Space Station Odysee by Wisch 2023-10-04T04:17:12Z

Fun little game, the only critiques I would say have already been commented by others, but perhaps the fog of war could have stayed lifted after you went through a room would've been handy.

SkyIsle TD by Inventivum Games 2023-10-04T04:48:50Z

@0megq hadn't even considered that good point, though I'm also not sure how to fix that.

@themixedmaster Had the same thing While developing it ended being my controller as I did add controller support.

@derek-glennon Yes, I totally agree, I unfortunately didn't get time to actually play through it normally so the balance is definitely off.

SkyIsle TD by Inventivum Games 2023-10-04T05:04:36Z

@breadstick Yes that it is an issue of balancing it is far too easy to slow/prevent the erosion with the use of mining drills and retaining walls.

SkyIsle TD by Inventivum Games 2023-10-13T09:27:22Z

Well that's disappointing just realized the graphics category was set to opt-out, don't know why, don't remember doing that, especially as I put a lot of effort into trying to make it looks nice.

RelicBound by Isaac 2023-10-04T04:23:15Z

Nice game, however the enemies movement and the players limited range with the sword, made it a little annoying to attack without being hit, perhaps slowing down the speeds or perhaps giving an indication for when the enemies were about to dash.

Gremlin Books Incorporated by bramreth 2023-10-13T09:01:08Z

Really liked the game, but the camera felt all weird and even after I maxed the sensitivity I still had to lift my mouse to turn around, but otherwise a very fun game.

Gremlin Books Incorporated by bramreth 2023-10-14T20:16:30Z

@darkmax14 I'm on windows never had this issue in the past.

Mechanizyn by Lincolnsalles 2023-10-04T04:30:14Z

not sure if there was a restart button, I was unable to find one, had to keep refreshing the page until I finally realized what you had to do to complete the first level

Limited City by xCarl 2023-10-04T04:43:25Z

Love it, game was simple and even though after placing a few buildings I could see where it was going, I still kept playing to finish it off, great game.

In the Shadows by KeichiTS 2023-10-04T04:36:14Z

Nice game, I really like it, and thank you so much for not making us go back and pick up previous items after death, especially for a LD game it makes it so much nicer to play.

Wingspan by Kizilejderha 2023-10-13T09:13:49Z

This is great one of the best I've seen, very polished.

Choo Choo Kitchen by coffeemakingtoaster 2023-10-13T08:36:26Z

It looks good, but I was unable to figure out how to do anything other than place things, really needs a tutorial or written explanation of what to do.

LD55 — Summoning

Oh Boy!-Ant by Inventivum Games 2024-04-17T23:00:59Z

@ironax that's very impressive I played a few friends and we only made it to about 150.

@wigglypainter I do agree, the original idea was to have special materials that would give buffs and make it a sort of roguelike, but alas time restrictions.

The Cherished Boulder by accordaquo 2024-04-18T02:26:22Z

I liked the game but felt it would've been better if the units didn't collide with each other, perhaps instead you could apply a little velocity away from each other if they overlap, just to prevent them from bundling up.

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Rhythm Command by mmason 2018-04-24T01:47:33Z

I think the idea is good its just that a rhythm game requires a lot of concentration its almost impossible track the aid packets and shoot the meteors but i think the game is good and you fit the theme really well

Tetra Defense by Inventivum Games 2018-04-24T04:24:22Z

yes that is true i just didn't have enough time to balance it well, initially they destroyed the blocks to quickly and it made it almost impossible to play the Tetris part. (your game was good too)

Tower Rancher by PaperbackGorilla 2018-04-24T04:11:59Z

Good job the game was great how ever it was a little easy i finished the game with only two towers i think it would be good to keep making it better with more levels, you could have it going real time so you could be training new towers while the battle was still going.
