LD42 — Running out of space

Rainforest by SimoGecko 2018-08-22T02:37:33Z

That was stressful!

The art and the idea are both great. The programming was perfectly executed except for a some minor collider issues.

Pipe Dream by JavaSaurus 2018-08-15T10:42:39Z

@hauo Thanks for the feedback. I agree that the use of the theme wasn't the most creative. We tried to improve this with the boss (which attempts to trap the player into the oil).

Remove slashes and replace link with a file and then this is the formatting.

@posho

I love the fan art as well!

Pipe Dream by JavaSaurus 2018-08-21T01:19:37Z

Thanks for the review @cassio-eduardo @stegobubbles

Powerups are a good idea. We'll definitely keep it in mind.

memBrain by Sciman101 2018-08-15T10:44:39Z

Fun game! Very innovative and fun.

I played this game for about five minutes and I only found one key though. It also took me a while to work out how to change the room data to drop. But that's okay for a jam.

Overall this is definitely one of the top games I've seen.

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

Working Overtime by kbf123 2018-12-03T03:27:51Z

This game looks really fun! Please make a mac version :)

Working Overtime by kbf123 2018-12-03T03:49:19Z

ah okay :/

[ 66 DOWN ] by iseeicy 2018-12-03T04:11:15Z

Great game! I played it during Tiger_J's stream. One of the most fun games I've played in LD!

Perfectly Normal Inc. by Apple Dash 2018-12-03T02:12:13Z

It's a good game :)

A slightly easier to understand tutorial would have been appreciated as it took a lot of reading to get the hang of it, but once I worked out how to play it was fun.

Apropos of Apophis by zemmi 2018-12-03T03:35:35Z

That was a perfect example of a good Ludum Dare game. Short, sweet and cute.

I wish it was a couple minutes longer!

Or the Gods will be angered. by timeshapers 2018-12-03T09:53:59Z

Nice game. I think the middle could have been filled with some pictures to represent the items you have. 3 pictures of an apple at the start for example.

Or the Gods will be angered. by timeshapers 2018-12-03T10:01:54Z

Yeah that makes sense it was just a suggestion for the future. The game was still fun without them :)

Make the trip by Dancinoman 2018-12-08T08:04:41Z

Nice simple game with good replayability! I would have made the background panel slightly less transparent as I didn't notice the icons next to the buttons for a few turns.

Absalom And The Golden Mullet by DBONGames 2018-12-08T08:44:14Z

Really nice atmosphere! I love how you created a unique artstyle just from post processing, although the chromatic abberation was a bit much.

I didn't really understand the theme part, I thought the player always had the same level of power.

Altitude Sickness by Antti Tiihonen 2018-12-03T10:36:42Z

I really like this game. Great idea and almost perfect execution. Hard to find something to give feedback on! My biggest complaint would be that I have to guess what the text says in some places. Maybe a more rigid UI would be better.

Catch of Coatl by UncleChris 2018-12-03T02:17:10Z

JAL_7 here. Game is fun! Highlights for me were the sound effects and the general aztec aesthetic :)

TrickyShot by William Derksen 2018-12-03T08:20:10Z

I love this game! Very innovative, I love the different bullet types and modes. I want to see a full game of this!

Space Traveler by SanyingLi 2018-12-03T09:26:08Z

The game looks amazing but the mac version can't be opened :/

Is the game made in Unity?

Space Traveler by SanyingLi 2018-12-03T22:58:26Z

Mac version works :) Thanks for building one.

Ludum Dare: The Game by Darylsteak 2018-12-03T10:16:11Z

can you make a mac version :)

Quest for the West by tigerj 2018-12-03T08:08:08Z

Your game was pretty fun. I had no issues with the screen on my mac. I liked the concept, the writing was well done and the audio was a very nice touch.

I didn't have any issues that weren't already said above, but I now hate frogs :/

Overpopulation by Centauri 2018-12-03T10:07:02Z

A fun game :) Feels like Papers Please with a better story. The light flickering was a nice touch that really helped to give the game a moody apocalyptic feel. A small bug I noticed is that's it's possible for a character to have the same trait twice.

Red Blood Green Money by James Leib 2018-12-03T09:13:29Z

@hindbodes thats a good suggestion, I always Cmd Q everything so I didn't think to add it, but your right it would be a good thing to have.

Red Blood Green Money by James Leib 2018-12-04T03:28:25Z

@dazzumbledor yeah it sucks that I couldn't really complete the mood. I found that a lot of the sound effect generators made sound that was too cartoony and not dark enough for my game. I would have loved a music person but I wanted to submit to compo. Thanks for the feedback!

Astronaut's Journey by Radical Dog 2018-12-03T09:11:34Z

Amazing game! I went back and found your old post to play this game and I was not disappointed. Simple game loop, fun premise and a beautiful aesthetic. The newspaper got me a bit sad though :(.

Purgatory by omercanbalandi 2018-12-03T08:12:25Z

I liked your game. The sound effects, sci-fi background and minimalist menus were my favourite parts. I would have liked if the enemies were a bit smarter, but I understand the time difficulties of LD :)

Cowboy Hell by dk5000p 2018-12-03T10:40:55Z

Pretty good game. Some very nice 2d art.

Happy Meal by wischi 2018-12-03T09:23:39Z

That is a harsh interpretation of the theme. You made the wolves too cute!

My biggest problem with the game was that I didn't see that I could eat the wolves as the message went away almost immediately. If I didn't read the description I wouldn't have learnt about the mechanic.

cube mob by mbc 2018-12-03T07:56:33Z

Great game! I loved the unorthodox movement, while I didn't always feel in control everytime I lost a cube it felt like it was my mistake and not an issue with the movement. There was a very easy learning curve and an obvious goal. My only issue came from the camera follow - following a dead cube for too long, especially in important sections.

Runaway Bus by TheGameDev 2018-12-03T08:24:10Z

Great game! I wanted to play this one since I saw it on the main feed :)

@evan-overly can you link the short?

LD44 — Your life is currency

RollingCoin by wizzardMaker 2019-04-29T02:56:29Z

Fun game. The restart mechanic was a bit broken with deaths on start or very slow rolling

Peak Myths by fashionbatman 2019-04-29T02:43:05Z

Good interpretation of the theme, sound is working nicely, the currency system could use a bit of improvement.

Kat's Flowery Fever Dream by topbraj 2019-04-29T03:15:27Z

Great game! I was disappointed to find the coins capped at 99 because I wanted to build my fortune

InstaLifePlus by VoidAerun 2019-04-29T02:47:49Z

Nice game mechanic and messagee. An ending where you could lose would have been nice

InstaLifePlus by VoidAerun 2019-04-29T10:11:33Z

Oh that makes sense :)

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

The Fast Dating by jk5000 2018-04-23T13:42:39Z

I really like the idea. Matches the theme well. Voices are good.. Well done!

Dance Duel Cowboy! by Quaternius 2018-04-23T02:52:14Z

Would love to play this if you make a mac version

Dance Duel Cowboy! by Quaternius 2018-04-23T03:17:00Z

@Quaternius it works.

Great idea and the graphics and audio are almost perfect.

Garden Symphony by cowa 2018-04-23T04:24:17Z

Beautiful game. Very calming art and music. A bit of a hint to what the different seeds do would have been useful.

Nascar: The Phantom Pain by SnipZ 2018-04-23T03:02:26Z

Very creative idea. 5/5 in theme. It did take me a minute to work out where I was going, because the border between players looks like a wall

DroneOut by Nufflee 2018-05-12T15:47:22Z

Nice graphics and a good take on the theme. An in-game tutorial would have been nice, and the movement felt a little clunky, but overall a great game. I checked out your source code and I think I can learn a lot from your design choices.

Speed Dating by kbjwes77 2018-04-23T02:58:03Z

Brilliant game!

Greg Island by LJFMX 2018-04-23T13:38:55Z

Nice relaxing game. The low poly island, audio and fonts all feel very thought through. One improvement I would suggest is making the dialogue more "dating sim" then "fetch me stuff".

Scarry by Memel06 2018-04-23T13:17:16Z

Thanks for making a mac version!

One of the best games I've played yet. You've definitely won the "Mood" category for this jam.

Using my voice to activate the boost is a great idea, but I think you should have an opt-out for this feature, because it's weird to play this game with other people nearby.

1884 - Golf over Africa! by slashie 2018-04-23T01:23:35Z

love the idea!

Dancemazing by MariosManiatis 2018-04-23T09:40:44Z

Went from being a little bored to scared to laughing all in about three seconds when I first saw the monster. Great work on the audio.

If I were to find a problem with it, it would be that I stuck to the walls a bit.

Robot Vs. You by Bryan Coen 2018-04-23T03:18:39Z

Game looks good! I'd give it a go if there was a web or mac version

StrateJump by bluewingtitan 2018-04-25T12:59:50Z

Turned based platformer! Great take on the theme. Loving the invisible platforms as well.

The Minstrel of the Kings by Jacoder23 2018-04-23T09:33:40Z

Nice cute game. You did a good job on the sound effects.

LD41 - Let's a go! by Shoj92 2018-04-23T11:20:38Z

Nice beginner game. Learning Unity is definitely worth it :)

Shootball! by joonamo 2018-04-23T05:21:00Z

Fun game. I found the hitting the ball very satisfying for some reason. It would be cool if this game had a league feature to up the stakes of each game.

Forest Grow by James Leib 2018-04-23T13:00:36Z

@Shoj92 Yeah I knew about this problem since Day 1, but I couldn't increase trackpad sensitivity (easily) without making mouse sensitivity too fast.

Forest Grow by James Leib 2018-04-23T13:06:43Z

@Shoj92 Yeah, I definitely should have added a menu for sound/sensitivity/quitting.

Forest Grow by James Leib 2018-04-23T14:34:45Z

@Nash thanks for the info on virus protection.

Forest Grow by James Leib 2018-04-23T15:35:58Z

@Nash can you do me a big favour and just check if the new windows version works?

Gender Circles by EkkoEkko 2018-04-23T11:13:36Z

Nice music and idea!

Two Incompatible Game by change 2018-04-23T13:47:33Z

I love the two games at the same time. Really surprised with how fun it is. 5/5 for that.

Could be improved with better graphics and more minigames.

Rackety Rekt by FlatTutorials 2018-05-07T02:52:12Z

Funny game idea and a nice execution.

Overcharged by Cryovr 2018-04-23T03:21:04Z

The macOS build leads to the Windows Build. Game looks cool though so @ me when I can play

Overcharged by Cryovr 2018-04-23T04:12:20Z

@Cryovr the Dropbox link still is a .rar file so I can't open it

Overcharged by Cryovr 2018-04-23T05:25:01Z

It works now. Great game, rocket movement was very fun.
