LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

Fix by harark 2018-12-05T19:05:49Z

Wow I love the concept so much. There is huge potential here to flesh this out into something very deep. This is the best use of the theme I've seen so far

Catchey 2 (VR Only) by shadowbrain 2018-12-05T15:38:21Z

Nice to see a VR game. Once I got into the swing of catching it was fun, although it didn't feel very balanced. It seemed to reward you more for catching bigger things even though they're a bigger target and I'm not sure the grip mechanic was necessary, it got in the way a bit. Also quite often I'd be rewarded with catch cubes but they wouldn't appear in my inventory. I liked the general feel and it was good use of the VR controllers

Cannibal Town by Woetnie 2018-12-04T01:51:30Z

really enjoyed this, couldn't win but had loads of fun trying. Liked the gender mechanic and the little blobs having sex :D

PURITY by jantunes 2018-12-04T12:35:29Z

Love it, although when I completed it I felt like I was making a 50/50 guess at the end. Not sure the logic always leads to just one answer

Ludumiumings by smiley 2018-12-04T23:06:45Z

Great! Really enjoyed the strategy in the gameplay of trying to clear a path for as many to run through as possible. Great use of the theme

They're 'armless by thedarkmagi 2018-12-04T01:35:33Z

This is the best game I've found so far, really addictive and fun despite the complete wackiness! Love it!

The Life of a Corporate Drone by Slashee the Cow 2018-12-05T19:41:17Z

Love the concept, possibly the bars went down a bit aggressively but I really like that keeping your mood up gives you the motivation to manage more stuff

Chopping Block by speakertone 2018-12-05T18:09:22Z

Great game but I'm not sure it was for me, the memory game concept stressed me out!

Suicide Rabbits by m3rcurial92 2018-12-05T19:28:30Z

I found it very frustrating going back to the start again every time, it felt like you'd lost even though technically you hadn't. Nice music and art though and good use of the theme

Mars attacks by Jonas Michael 2018-12-04T23:21:03Z

You can lose by buying a tower which you can't afford which isn't great. Otherwise it's fun but the strength of the towers doesn't seem to relate to their price.

Sacrifice for the wall by DarkAnice 2018-12-04T13:18:38Z

very funny concept, I think the sacrifice mechanic makes it less fun as you just have to skip all the enemies and try to get to the end in as few jumps as possible

Silvercliff Killings by spierek 2018-12-04T12:46:17Z

Really enjoyed playing this one, definitely could be expanded for example to search crime scenes for clues

Succccessss by domkonecny 2018-12-05T18:18:51Z

Didn't really get on with it I'm afraid. I found the choices quite constraining and couldn't see a deeper point being made. I quite liked the conversation aspect but it didn't feel like it was me talking because the choices were so limited.

Martyr by 314owen 2018-12-05T00:14:21Z

Really good, loved the light mechanic. Quite tricky to remember all the character's abilities and I think I got stuck at one point because my box moving guy died, but very atmospheric and nice concept

smite by zanders3 2018-12-06T08:37:16Z

@eva-abollivier Thanks for the feedback. The idea was that as you play you discover the mechanics which allows you to sacrifice more effectively, so even though the game is one level it feels like there's a progression. Also we tried to make it so that even just doing nothing is entertaining so there isn't pressure on the player.

Clean dishes by ArcadeCodex 2018-12-04T12:52:52Z

Not bad, it took me a while to figure out that I needed to go to the end of the tables to pick things up

Ring of Sacrifice by nul 2018-12-05T00:03:11Z

I enjoyed it, I liked the temperature mechanic. It was a bit difficult to tell if I was dealing damage

Out Of Power by Mathis BRESSAUD 2018-12-05T19:19:10Z

Nice game, I felt the camera moved a bit quickly and the slide ability might have been more useful if it did more damage. but look and feel was excellent

Oblatio by Trusty 2018-12-04T23:54:59Z

Very unusual, quite tranquil to play. Love the bizarre ending. Nice art

The Apostle by Norfma 2018-12-04T01:22:45Z

I didn't really know what was going on and couldn't get past the gates but I enjoyed the graphics and animation!

Drained by ThorPalsson 2018-12-04T02:30:15Z

So uh, this is the most awesome thing ever but I just got properly jump scared multiple times right before I have to try and go to sleep :D Amazing job, I'm blown away

Last Platoon by DarkianMaker 2018-12-04T02:02:21Z

very impressive I struggled to make progress but had a lot of fun

Overlord Sacrifice by Duo Developers 2018-12-04T01:26:54Z

couldn't get it to run, even when hacking about with it

Overlord Sacrifice by Duo Developers 2018-12-04T12:02:28Z

Really enjoyed it, there's a lot of challenge and kiting strategy. Nice work!

Praise The Snek by Preside 2018-12-05T15:09:42Z

Love it, competitive element works really well. There was quite a lot of waiting around for gold but also it was pretty fun to have both players rush for it when it appeared

Make a Wish by maycon 2018-12-04T01:11:58Z

it's quite frustrating that it doesn't reset when you fall off

Bhagrifice by Kevin de Beer 2018-12-06T10:15:53Z

great game and concept, reminds me of braid but with more horrific screaming :D love the idea of using your minced up past selves as a carpet
