LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Dark Soil by Pietro Ferrantelli 2018-05-03T17:06:28Z

Amazing work. Great graphics: animations, visual effects, screen effects, everything was visually very very pleasing. You have talented people in the team. One tiny complaint: Font could have been slightly more readable.

RTHM by fashionbatman 2018-04-26T15:11:25Z

Brilliant! I really liked this one. At first I didn't understand what I was supposed to do but then things started work out just nicely when I got around controls. Graphics were great. Really liked changes in beats & music. Nice entry. Well done.

Boxing Surgery Simulator 2000 by ponywolf 2018-04-26T16:45:10Z

This is brilliant entry. Top-notch graphics. I too didn't realize which boxer I was, but hey, that didn't matter as the surgeon part was awesome. Glue rocks. Best one I played so far.

CONFESSIONAL by Rodrigo DenĂºbila 2018-05-09T16:24:41Z

Oh dear, this is giving me the creeps. Very nice concept & entry in such a short time.

City Blocks by legavroche 2018-05-03T16:48:38Z

Lovely music. I would have hoped for slower ball movement. I'm not that good at playing :) Very well done entry.

Roulette Knight by Finlal 2018-04-27T17:50:03Z

Top notch execution. The graphics style is amazing. Colors, animations, and details in all those icons. Good job.

Crazy Cube by YANIV 2018-04-26T14:59:31Z

I tried to give ratings, hopefully got them right :) Lovely idea about controls and knowing which side to aim with. I would have wanted to see dots, to get more control (For some reason i saw black dice, so it was very difficult!). Great entry. Well done.

Check, Please! by swav_gav 2018-05-14T16:40:06Z

This is absolutely brilliant entry. I like the hand physics (way different from my game ;)

Art was great. Liked wine pouring :) Gameplay physics is very well done. Short but thats undrstandable.

Rated pretty much 5 stars for everything. Congraz to the whole team.

Honest Dan's Trout by Honest Dan 2018-05-03T17:02:29Z

Interesting combination. I thought I had seen "breakout" based ideas already, but this one was still original. I liked the "heureka" moment when I realized, I basically have 2 paddles. Very thematic entry.

Deck of the Dead by Balance686 2018-04-27T06:07:36Z

Tried webgl on chrome. I did not see any cards :/ screen remained mainly black. Upper portion was very grey. I could walk but I could not shoot. :( Unfortunately I cannot rate this as I feel that would be solely based on text/images on this ldjam page.

Deck of the Dead by Balance686 2018-04-27T16:25:16Z

I'll try again with another browser.

Deck of the Dead by Balance686 2018-04-27T16:34:47Z

Alright, now it worked just fine. This is brilliant entry! Very, very intense experience.

I somehow felt some of the nasty cards were too nasty. It was difficult enough to get ammo. Would be nice maybe instead of buying, you could see icons of "ammo" or "health". And you'd need to combine those together. "Find 2 ammo cards". Or maybe there could be so that if you pick wrong card, one of the card vanishes (just an idea).

I think stealing my credits was something I have no control over, making this just chaotic - I lose all my progress, and all my strategy (memorized position of cards). Of course zombies could have more hitpoints, there could be different ammo types, different weapons, and boosts...

I would not allow infinite jumping,. or maybe so that "jumping" would require finding "jumping cards" and thus you would have "1 jump" that you can take. And in that case jumping should be "easy" and it should jump so high that you can easily go there.

I feel this might be great in "ipad" where you can tap on screen. Now I had to try memorize arrow keys and use mouse to flip cards.

Oh and one more thing: Instead of stealing credit/randomizing cards, I would maybe add cards like "zombie recovers" or "more zombies appear" when drawing certain card.

Overall: The concept is very clever. I think the design is solid. Very good entry. From gameplay perspective this is so far maybe the tighest/most tactical I've seen in ldjam41 (that boxing game where you glue dude's eyes is really solid entry as well :D)

Deck of the Dead by Balance686 2018-04-27T17:30:33Z

First jam entry? Very well executed then! :) Yes, scope is a huge problem for every single ldjam entry. Gotta cut limbs... I mean features.

Thanks for checking my game.

BIRKANOID by MateCziner 2018-04-27T16:18:11Z

Well done entry. Graphics are amazing. Difficulty is waaay too high for me. Very good work. Really polished.

Escape by Gamekrazzy 2018-04-27T16:22:20Z

Difficult, but very nicely done entry. Not my type of game but I do appreciate effort put into this. I liked the passcode number interface very much. Very nice effort in details such as the number interface using keys to switch numbers.

If Potato Meets Flag Then by joqlepecheur 2018-05-03T17:11:20Z

Brain game. Very good job with unique puzzles and making them more and more difficult. I bet this entry must have been pleasant to debug :D Good job.

The Secret Ingredient is Love by Miqui Gaud 2018-05-03T16:45:37Z

Oh maaan that was creepy game. I hoped whistling could be turned off :) Funny entry. Congraz to the team.

RPG Clicker by MercuryBD 2018-05-03T17:09:30Z

Congratz on entering ldjam with the entry. Skipping dialogue would have been ideal, and sounds were bit annoying. For some reason I liked the guy's animation. I can see this to be tremendously big effort for such a short period of time. Getting RPG done in just few days, with monsters, weapons, items etc... that's very well done.

Preparing build for win and webgl. Download links coming.

Barry Has a Secret (horror, meal hiding simulation) by jamfella 2018-04-26T14:49:20Z

@bobismijnnaam thanks for playing the game! Yes, the days get bit repetitive. I had plans for increasingly blocking things (like at some point toilet room door could stuck, on latter days there could be more cops, and of course barry could move to a new bigger apartment and much more). All animations/graphics are from Unity Asset store, so not my creations. I really enjoy the "barry's idle animation". I think that was great choise. :)

@corvin I don't know :id:

@totalaj thanks!

@Draedrus :) thanks for playing

@hankworx :DD you'd made a great... meal hider.

@ramza thank you! buddy of mine piled everything on top of coffee table and then threw TV on top of that pile :)

Barry Has a Secret (horror, meal hiding simulation) by jamfella 2018-04-27T05:10:21Z

@fashionbatman thanks you! my job is done ;)

@huminaboz one of the important things is to make interesting start, so that you could have a laugh when you realize what you are hiding there. That was purposely bit blurry... although I think there was some finger pointing regarding evidence ;) Thanks for playing. And that is good feedback. I did consider whether to have exact names for things you need to hide.

@Nathalia Hohl Thanks for playing! I had plans to make guy check bathroom at some point, or so that bathroom door gets stuck. In one sense, this was also about letting you decide where you pile the stuff. Goofy physics - that's got both thumbs up and thumbs down. For this, it's definitely part of the challenge (if you use something else than bathroom, but like for example the fridge). If there would be no goofy physics, then it would change core gameplay for sure. I think that could be tested. I cannot say which one would be right.

The "1 out of 4 evidence found" text works. That's working correctly. After each day it always say "cops found nothing" even cops find something --- that's not accurate. Thanks for detailed feedback.

@Darkwing00Duck thanks for playing. I think you've mastered the game :D

Barry Has a Secret (horror, meal hiding simulation) by jamfella 2018-04-28T05:08:05Z

@croewens maybe you need a cup of coffee in game... and remember to find the pie. It is in the fridge... thanks for testing!

@TayGoS thanks for playing!

Barry Has a Secret (horror, meal hiding simulation) by jamfella 2018-05-03T16:49:03Z

Thanks @caterein and @Injured for your comments.

Barry Has a Secret (horror, meal hiding simulation) by jamfella 2018-05-03T16:49:15Z

And @legavroche :)

Barry Has a Secret (horror, meal hiding simulation) by jamfella 2018-05-03T21:00:20Z

thanks @imod and @Call me Jack. HANDSOME Jack. :)

Last Stand. [Web Play] by Darkwing00Duck 2018-04-27T17:54:49Z

Zombies meet Tetris. How convenient :) For some reason chopper multiplied after final piece was placed. Nice entry.
