LD44 — Your life is currency

Bradley's Little Money Maker by Franklins Ghost 2019-05-05T09:09:03Z

AS you said the game is not much, but the concept is interesting and you could probably turn this into a more complex game. Like the character animation.

All Become One by SaraJS 2019-05-02T16:30:14Z

Oh man, I loved Black and White, so it's nice to see that you used that as an inspirations. Nice looking game, too bad about the lack of sound.

Nein Lifes by Quivscor 2019-05-01T15:43:24Z

Great game. Losing body parts which affect the gameplay was a great idea. I had fun with it, although there was a bug which made the cat floating around in the air, and I couldn't get back on the ground. Good job nonetheless.

Gaming for Life by J_C - One Bit Studio 2019-04-23T11:00:51Z

Always wanted to participate in a gamejam, but I always chicken out in the last minute. This time I will try to stick to my guns and create something.

I'm using Gamemaker Studio 2, Photoshop, Aseprite, Magix Music Maker and Audacity.

Gaming for Life by J_C - One Bit Studio 2019-04-30T21:53:24Z

Thanks for playing Don Fouts. If you put some distance between you and the thugs, they stop chasing you.

Gaming for Life by J_C - One Bit Studio 2019-05-04T14:53:12Z

Thanks @acactus . Yeah, the game could use some fine tuning. Maybe I get to it later and polish it up a bit. :)

Gaming for Life by J_C - One Bit Studio 2019-05-12T16:43:23Z

Thank you @franklins-ghost . :)

Elevator Pitch by Hugimugi7 2019-05-03T07:56:01Z

LOL, the theme of the game is fantastic. :D Knowing the atmosphere at some AAA studios, this kind of "anger management" gameplay is even more rewarding.

A Life At Stake by JustMars 2019-04-30T21:59:42Z

Very cool game. Although I didn't know it is illegal to date a 16 year old, haha. :D Dating is just dating. But it's all good fun.

MööM Mafia by Kultisti 2019-05-01T19:41:23Z

I love it when someone creates a game with a very limited color palette. You did great with the pixelart, congrats.

GTApp - Great Tube App by Gaming Night 2019-05-01T09:27:50Z

The game has such a great idea. And it really pulled that GTA 1-2 feeling with the graphics and camera movement. Great job.

Sinking Town by detectiveLosos 2019-05-02T09:14:27Z

Congrats on finishing the game. I liked the asthetics of your game, it's kinda unique, with its blend of pixelart and 3D graphics.

Mana Loss by Tempii 2019-05-01T18:56:06Z

Fellow first timer here. Congrats on submitting the game. The idea is very good, and the pixelart you managed to finish are also pretty nice. Too bad you didn't have time for more art and music.

Ente by J0ye 2019-05-04T15:06:42Z

Quite unique idea, congrats on making it. It brings me back to the atari and DOS age.

Kessler by Melmo 2019-05-01T21:21:59Z

Managed to get 149 points for the first try. I could see myself playing this game from time to time, to beat my highscore. Good job!

Current_CE by zoneoutapps 2019-05-03T17:12:41Z

Maybe it is just me, but I think the gameplay should be more clear to the player. I couldn't figure out the objective, and the controls could use some more work too.

Removed by Cuppycat 2019-04-30T21:48:21Z

This was a fantastic experience. Loved the music and the mood of the game. Great job!

MONGR by minor_gods 2019-05-01T09:22:35Z

Fantastic job. It's almost a complete game with well thought out mechanics. Is there music in the game? There is in the trailer video, but there wasn't any in the game when I was playing.

Cash-Out by drakonep 2019-05-01T18:51:48Z

I like the music and the pixelart. I managed to survive for 4 months and 3 days. Not bad. :)

Auto destruction m.a.c.h.i.n.e. by mrdrakert 2019-05-06T14:00:07Z

It's not too shabby if we take into account that this is your first jam and you had little time for it. So good job, it is a fun little game.

LD46 — Keep it alive

Alien Operation by joemid 2020-04-21T19:53:18Z

Adding voiceover to the game gives it a great atmosphere. But for the love of God, make it skippable. I don't want to hear it again and again if I fail the game and have to restart. Otherwise, nice idea, interesting game.

The Wait by devilqube 2020-04-21T19:03:34Z

There is one thing which is killing me in this game. The floaty controls. It would be much more fun if it would be tighter (at least with keyboard). Otherwise, nice concept for a small game.

Stoker by disperse 2020-04-21T19:45:59Z

Congrats for this game. The wild west themed music and art was a great choice. The gameplay is quiet challenging, but pretty well done as well.

A Car With No Name by SaraJS 2020-04-22T17:23:23Z

Good concept. My only real issue was that the character movement sensitivity was too fast, and controlling the little guy just didn't feel smooth. The pixelart car was very well done, it even had some dynamic shadow.

Harvest Saga by kamekai 2020-04-23T18:28:12Z

Congrats for the game. The artstyle looked like it was painted with waterpaint, and this fit the game perfectly. The music was well done as well. Overall a very nice game, with solid mechanics.

Whalestrom by aevek 2020-04-21T19:37:52Z

If I could give 10 stars for the music, I would. Very well done. The graphics was also nice. The controls are too twitchy, you could lower the sensitivity for the movement. And somehow the next wave of enemies didn't trigger for me, so I could only play the first level. Nice game.

Ludum Dare 46 Entry: Tree Sim by Alex Mulkerrin 2020-04-24T16:43:48Z

Very creative idea. My only gripe is that it was not easy to figure out how does the plant reacts to the different controls.

The Last of the Dino Eggs by MaybeLaterx 2020-04-23T15:29:42Z

First person platforming is hard to pull off, so kudos for trying it. It works decently, although there are a few collision problems which makes you stuck at a few places. Still, good effort.

Garden Royale by J_C - One Bit Studio 2020-04-21T13:26:02Z

Thank you for the feedback. :)

Garden Royale by J_C - One Bit Studio 2020-04-21T19:39:33Z

Thanks @pixel-error . 90% of my time went to coding, so I had very little time for the art, and 0 time for the audio. I hope I can make this game in the future with better art and sounds.

Garden Royale by J_C - One Bit Studio 2020-04-21T21:06:39Z

Thanks @bitpokit Yes small things like these can go a long way. Glad you liked it. :)

Garden Royale by J_C - One Bit Studio 2020-04-22T11:22:54Z

Totally agree @flyingthunder I didn't have time to finish it, but I'm planning to grow this into a full project and improve it.

Garden Royale by J_C - One Bit Studio 2020-04-22T18:19:32Z

@skvader-418 Could you copy and paste that error message if you play the game one more time? :)

Garden Royale by J_C - One Bit Studio 2020-04-22T19:59:47Z

Thank you very very much @skvader-418 . This way I can look into this bug.

Garden Royale by J_C - One Bit Studio 2020-04-26T14:50:50Z

Thank you @technodragon253 and @emperor-eagle I'm planning to turn this game into a full game, and make the controls and the gameplay more intuitive.

Garden Royale by J_C - One Bit Studio 2020-05-16T06:44:04Z

Thank you very much @madbarron

BOILING PLANET by Tudvari 2020-04-23T15:39:55Z

Now this is a well designed game. It's simple, but fun, with nice assets. It doesn't feel rushed. Nice work.

Evergreen by RAFFE 2020-04-21T18:56:38Z

I'm not much into clicker games, but this was very well done. The artstyle and music was pretty atmoshperic, and I liked that there are quests in the game.

Guardian of the Seas by UberPuPy 2020-04-22T17:46:45Z

First I thought this game is too easy, but after a minute or two the ships started to flood the bay and I was scrambling from one shipwreck to the other. It was instense, but quite fun.

Keep Moving by Robin49 2020-04-22T09:36:54Z

Good execution of a simple idea. The art is nice, the only thing which bugged be a little was the collision box of the big lava blob. Sometimes it killed when I was not touching it.

LD46: Keep it alive by DavidPeterWorks 2020-04-24T16:40:40Z

The atmoshphere and the painting style graphics is topnotch. I liked the music choice as well. If the controls were less floaty (as others already pointed out) the gameplay would be better, but it is not bad as it is either.

Save us by Curtis Pelissier 2020-04-21T18:05:21Z

Nice mood and great music. The game has an interesting concept, although it should be a tad bit slower, because currently way you can't even comprehend what you are doing.

Tree of Life by noneegy 2020-04-22T11:28:31Z

Loved the pixelart of the game. I didn't know how to put that protective seed around the tree, but other than that, it played nicely. Good job!

"IT" dies by PineappleGladiator 2020-04-22T11:35:59Z

Phew, this was an intense one. I was running around, collecting stuff in the room, trying not to forget which ingerdients I need, meanwhile defending IT against the villagers. This was really enjoyable. Like the art as well.

Mr Ficus by KreGames 2020-04-23T15:49:53Z

The game could use some tutorials, because right now all I did was watering the plant, which seems to make it happy. It did not grow though.

10K To Impact by Magicanz 2020-04-21T19:05:29Z

The controls could use some work to make it more intuitive, but nice idea for a game.

A Fairy Tale by pixnpickstudio 2020-04-22T17:36:56Z

Rally nice art and music. Maybe it is just me, but I really didn't get what should I do in the game. I used lights at the lamp posts to get over the bridges, but at the end of the level, when I go into the bush the game still ends.

Signal Surfer by ChewieCB 2020-04-21T18:29:38Z

Loved the artstyle and the music. The gameplay is simplistic, but I can see people getting addicted to it to beat their highscores. Nice.

Lights Out by Chance Slaughter 2020-04-22T17:55:39Z

It was refreshing to have a jam game have working menus. I know it is not the most important, but I just feel good when a proper menu is implemented. So good job. The game UI is not scaling properly for every monitor, for me, the left and right side of the UI cuts off. It is not a game breaker, just looked a little off. And I think I have a bug where I couldn't build a barricade even though I had the money. Otherwise, good job.

Asteroid Redirect Project by master_spike 2020-04-21T19:59:19Z

Couldn't open it unfortunately.

Feast of blood by DanilShekarev 2020-04-21T19:23:22Z

I can't believe all this quality art was made in just a few days hats off your team, they did a fantastic job. The game has a nice atmosphere and music as well.

The Machine's Blessing by Solrinn 2020-04-21T18:25:14Z

I can just repeast what others said. The graphics, the music and the mood is fantastic, but the top UI is barely readable, and even with the tutorial, it is hard to understand what you should be doing. Still, I hope you will work on this further, because it is really a cool concept.

Something Fishy by sztrovacsek 2020-04-23T15:45:36Z

Yeeeeehaaaa! I managed to clean the ocean. The game starts easy but it is getting really intense when there are more then five or six fishes. Simple, but fun. Good job.

Vestige by BitPokit 2020-04-21T20:06:01Z

Love that there is a small story for the game. Coupled with the simplistic but fitting art and the nice music, this game is very moody. The gameplay is simplistic but it is kinda interesting. Nice job.

Rebooting Flowers by Haoro 2020-04-21T18:45:26Z

This was very well done. I loved the emotes for the AI, gave it a lot of personality. And the gameplay was quite intense when the big room opens up. I just wish you could skip the introductory part at the beginning, it would make replaying the game easier.

Omni by toby-klauder 2020-04-21T19:11:00Z

Good graphics and music, but the collision of the main character should really be improved. Sometimes it was hard to go through a door and leave the room. But good job overall.

The Last Hearth by Jorim 2020-04-23T15:54:21Z

The game has a nice atmosphere, I especially liked the spider sounds. They were creepy. The idea was pretty good as well. Good job.

Sentience Protocol by Disthron 2020-04-21T18:34:08Z

I like the cyberpunkish artstyle, but I'm gonna be honest, I don't really know what I should do in the game.

First Responders by Wolfenrahd 2020-04-21T19:30:10Z

The game is not launching unfortunately.

Tundra Tumble by Smol Fries 2020-04-21T13:23:35Z

I really liked the artstyle of the game, it was like a painting. The gameplay was smooth, although a bit too simplistic. Overall, good job.

Heart Kicker by The Iddmeister 2020-04-22T09:40:57Z

Played the web version, which worked nicely. I had some difficulty with pulling myself with the grappling hook thingy, but other than that, it is a solid game.

Keep Me Alive by Texz 2020-04-22T17:28:39Z

I have to admit, this was the most surprising "game" in the jam. I can't really rate it for graphics, audio or fun, but I'm going to give 5 stars for the theme and innovation. :)
