LD38 — A Small World

Game Prototype by zwrawr 2017-05-11T03:01:30Z

Nice simple game, after some time the screen gets really crowded with enemies and there is no way of killing them all.

Bubble Boy by rjhelms 2017-05-11T03:48:40Z

Nice platformer, I like the way the player moves, I took me some time to notice what was hurting me. The camera movement felt a little choppy sometimes. Level 4 beat me but the game was fun.

World Fighter by LeviDSmith 2017-05-12T23:54:30Z

Fun game, the breaking animation of the enemies is really cool, the combat became a little repetitive at the end, some kind of boss or different enemies would be nice.

Nice job.

Grall Axy by LooksLikeSomething 2017-05-11T01:32:04Z

A great and solid game, graphics are nice and the gameplay works. I like the speed modifiers a lot because sometimes the game felt a little slow.

EAT by djfariel 2017-05-08T21:57:15Z

Fun game, I spend some time playing it, the graphics and sound are nice. The laser ships were difficult to dodge the fact they can shoot you out of the screen was weird, couldn't get more than 9 segments because of them.

Pity About Earth... by mwcz 2017-05-11T00:20:11Z

Fun game, in the start the game was fine, but then some of the meteors get way too fast and the first ones always hit me before I could turn around. The sound fx, music, and graphics are all great. Nice job with the game.

Attack of the Planetary-Vampires by Rolle 2017-05-08T21:04:02Z

Nice and fun game. I really like the weird perspective you archived with a simple scaling tween. Music and sounfx are solid and the paralaxing background is really cool.

Pineshore Planet by thomz12 2017-05-16T14:14:22Z

Nice game, the art is great. It was fast to win but it felt great to help the people of the little planet and the celebration animation some of the characters have are great. In start when you have to pick the ball I though the camera was bugged because I could move it, took me some time to see the ball.

Chill Bill by drtizzle 2017-05-08T04:00:04Z

Fun little game and is impressively polished for a jam. Great job.

Little Fortune Planet by Flaterectomy 2017-05-11T03:15:30Z

Really fun sandbox, the graphics are really nice and the simulation works great. I don't like the fact that you can get multiple cards of the same type in your hand because it limits the things you can play with until you use them all. Music and sound fx are nice and I'm not sure if it's only me but the game doesn't perform well on my computer in some cases.

Space Migrator by jackyjjc 2017-05-08T21:36:21Z

Really nice polished game, the minimalistic graphics works really well.

Spend some time in endless mode after the game ends (Really sad that the game is so short, objectives were fun) and the chain reactions that happens when you have large towers and something fails are fun to watch.

Pixel Town by automatonvx 2017-05-08T03:44:43Z

Nice game, took me a couple of tries to have a nice balanced city. Nice minimalistic graphics and the music works.

NES ROM - Arlington Apple in an Interplanetary Pickle by team-disposable 2017-05-11T03:58:45Z

Really cool game, and amazing work making a game for the NES in a jam.

Ronut by toestee 2017-05-13T05:01:26Z

Nice game. Played it for a couple of minutes and I quit with a lot of life left, controls are great and killing the worms is fun, but after a while became repetitive. Good job making a solid game.

Small Town by Zerbroesler 2017-05-12T23:47:16Z

Good game, its a little basic on the gameplay side but it's solid overall, some kind of feedback when you don't have houses to build would be nice. Nice job.

Adventure Owl Meets the Mole Men by fenwick 2017-05-10T04:21:05Z

Fun and small game, I finish it, once you get the jetpack the game becomes pretty easy. Jumping on slopes its a little weird on the beginning. Cute graphics and the screen effect when you get close to the center is pretty cool.

Globe Guzzler by Eli Delventhal 2017-05-11T01:24:14Z

Good job on the game, the graphics are nice and I like the way you generate the planets, the sound fx when the monster hits the ground is great. I couldn't destroy the world's fast enough to play for a long time but it was fun.

Ground Builder by Jap 2017-05-08T22:03:36Z

Nice and simple stacking game, sounds are a little loud I think, graphics are nice. Solid game overall and could work really well as a small game on a mobile phone.

Attack on Smolwurld by smiley 2017-05-08T21:21:44Z

Fun game. Music works pretty well with the graphics.

Power-ups were nice except for the thunder one, I think its too overpowered and the sound effects of the shots get really annoying while shooting with it.

I died when the night started to fall because I couldn't see the blue shoots.

Nice job overall.

5 by ThatFrankGuy 2017-05-11T01:06:18Z

Cool game really liked the graphics and music. The screen is a little small and is the upside down movement is a little weird. Couldn't get pass the third level though.

Small Tactics by JanGamesDev 2017-05-10T04:25:24Z

Thanks for the feedback everybody, I spend way to much time coding the base game and I was left without time to add more content and polish it. @mwcz There is a how to play button on the menu with a lot of info about the game. @automatonvx You can click on the same tile to change that unit into attack mode without moving.

SUNLESS by pell707 2017-05-16T05:36:06Z

Fun game and the sound fx are really fun, with a little bit more polish it could be a great game. Good job on your first LD.

Snailty by UpsetInnova 2017-05-11T00:56:22Z

I think the salt spawning and physics need more work. The graphics are nice, especially the background.

A Small Wheel by Evan Minto 2017-05-10T04:14:39Z

Cool game, graphics are cute, the controls could be smoother and I like the way the obstacles appear.

Devoured Intellect by BoobMarley 2017-05-13T04:55:15Z

Nice game. Great history and characters.

LD46 — Keep it alive

How They Survived by Florent Juch 2020-04-21T19:58:17Z

Great small game, beat it on my third try. The controls are a bit rough specialy because you need to put the mouse on the bottom of the canvas to throw things up and somethings I clicked outside the canvas. The art its nice and a lot of fun to play once you get how to play.

Soda Pop Vampire by neontropics 2020-04-24T19:57:22Z

Nice game, polished and with a good amount of content. The graphics are great and like some other people said the camera movement is a little weird. I didn't liked the scaled enemies because they feel cheap and I think the last level guys cone of sight was bugged. Also the dialogs are nice the first time but then they start repeating and that was somewhat annoying.

The Holy Chicken by multiplexor 2020-04-24T20:27:02Z

Nice game, the lava looks cool and the game concept is great, the idea of leaving people to die to save the chicken really funny. Great job.

Tiny Fragments by Daniel Moreno 2020-04-21T13:13:48Z

Nice game with interesting level design. Really solid and polished for a compo game.

A Night In The Dark by lectvs 2020-04-23T20:32:50Z

Greate little game, I would like to see where you can take this if you keep working on it. I won on the first run and I think mostly because when I got the torch I started running around in the dark. It was fun and a nice play experience overall.

Simon DJ by JanGamesDev 2020-04-22T22:41:48Z

Thanks everyone for the comments

@dugas I'm glad you liked the scratching because I tought it was the weakest component (I spend some time on it but I didn't like how it felt). I would like to add more tools later if I keep developing it.

@orsi Thanks for playing, the desktop controls got added on monday while I was having my launch break so they are not that great.

@team-on Thanks. I started on sunday so actually it took 2 days (And a lot of effort).

@spyranteros Thanks for playing. I develop it thinking about VR so it works better in that platform, I hope you can try it in VR someday :D

Homestead by ownedstuff 2020-04-23T20:42:26Z

You have something here, I live the idea of keeping the candle alive. Right now it feels empty but keep working on this and I could be a nice game.

Darkest Day by William Rizzi 2020-04-22T22:29:34Z

Nice game, at first I thought it was really hard because I didn't knew that wood respawned after some time. Then It become a waiting game. I got all the upgrades and when I buyed the lamp the game became too easy and I stoped playing. I think if you remove the infinite lamp and you add some kind of challenge to the game it could be a lot of fun. Great job.

Broadcast Bandits by zoarfy 2020-04-24T20:21:55Z

Nice game but there a some bugs with the turns, I ended up with multiple player ships and I was really confused. The graphics and the way you show the world is really cool if you fix the bugs It could be really fun.

Baby Dragon by dmtroy 2020-04-21T20:13:36Z

The game is really pretty, I'm not sure if there is any kind of progresion or its just keeping it alive. The flying minigame is hard to play if you speedup.

Archimagus by Poroporo-su 2020-04-21T19:44:29Z

The art of this game is amazing, great job on that. I played 2 times, first time I didn't know what I was doing and lost pretty quick, the second time I won a couple of fight then I died.

Sunlit by palsina 2020-04-23T20:24:36Z

This game is so relaxing and nice. The graphics are simple but great. Great job.

Zoo keeper by Team-on 2020-04-23T00:10:04Z

Cute and nice game, the minigames are all solid and you have freaking NINJA TURTLES, IM SOLD! It was fun and everthing works great. Really good job.

by Sthor726 2020-04-21T04:33:22Z

Nice game, completed the first day and then I got a bunch of null pointer exceptions and coudn't continue, I liked what I played anyways. Great job.

Sourdough Starter Simulator by kristina 2020-04-23T20:46:46Z

Really fun idea, specially with everyone cooking these days. Lost the first time but then I got the hang of the gmae and beat it. Nice little game.

Lifelink by IanLux 2020-04-23T20:18:17Z

The graphics were really nice, the idea of getting powerups from conected allies was cool, I'm not 100% sure of how it works yet but it was interesting. Great job.

Dino spin by relixes 2020-04-22T23:13:43Z

WOW, this game its amazing. Really polished for a jam game, the physics worked great and the levels are really good. The dificulty curve needs some work (level 8 and 16 are pretty hard). I played all the levels and I enjoy them. Great work and keep working on this.

SlugBall by Foursay 2020-04-21T04:50:10Z

Nice puzzle platforming game, the platforming is a little wonky but the level design is great. I like the idea of keeping your "enemies" alive and using them, stoped after the level with the two grean guys but It was a lot of fun. Good job.

UnLeeched by Jason Q 2020-04-22T23:24:42Z

Nice game, its fun and the platforming its solid. I would have prefered if the enemy bullets collided with the world and they didn't shoot from the other side of the level. Also I was confused when the levels started to repeat. Great job.

A Tree by ditam 2020-04-22T22:51:46Z

Nice game, I survived a lot of years (23) and then the humans killed me (>.>)

I lost a couple of times before I got some of the rules, the concept its nice and I think with a lot more feedback and balance it could be fun or at least interesting, right now its too caotic to undestand.

PD: I want some way to fight the humans, or at least something to know how atractive I am to them and a way to look worse :P

Starship & Hull by Mastoast 2020-04-21T02:26:11Z

Took me a while to get used to the controls but after that i could keep the ship repaired. Became repetitive after a couple of minutes but its a solid game. Great work.

Carnivorous Bananas by Spice Cabinet 2020-04-21T20:05:50Z

Great job, its a nice and polished game. It got repetitive after a couple of minutes, it needs something to ramp the dificulty up or some variations. Also I thinkg the center of the camera needs to be closer to the monkey because the enemies can show from the edges of the screen.

The lich feast by geroblacksmith 2020-04-23T21:26:10Z

Nice game, right now it feels to basic, with more work I could be fun. Personaly I think it needs some quality of life inprovements (feed all button, summon all button), more feedback and something to make it more stategic. Keep working on this, it looks nice and has potential.

LifeLine by pomeroyb 2020-04-21T04:37:04Z

Nice little game. This is really simple but a ton of fun.

Capybaba by matthewi 2020-04-21T04:31:50Z

Nice game, polish the platforming a little and you have something really fun. Coudn't progress when I didn't stomp the shadow to cross (Checkpoints and reset should restore the game state and dead enemies). Also I had to check the comments to pass the first tree. But good job overall.

Cabral Soldado Heroico by Rustimak 2020-04-23T21:13:17Z

No esperaba encontrarme esto, ya jugue 30 juegos y este es el primero que me hace sonreir durante todo el juego. Encima el chabon es tan heroico que nisiquiera puede matar a alguien por la espalda. Muy lindo el juego y gran trabajo. Y genial que hieron algo tan argentino, se ganaron un +1 a todas las puntuaciones solo por eso.

Egg Defender by Tent Hat 2020-04-23T20:52:19Z

Nice little game, really nice that you tried to do it in C++ with the OLC libs. Maybe you can try using Unity as you said but dont give up on C++, its a nice tool to know and It will give teach you a lot of great stuff that you will miss if you only use Unity.

Shapes by Finn_Tr 2020-04-21T19:53:11Z

Solid game, I got to the top of the tower a couple and tried to fight the orange circles but its too hard when you get two of them and the timer goes down too fast. The graphics are nice and the controls are responsive. Great job.

TamagotchIT by spyranteros 2020-04-23T00:15:06Z

Loved your take on the theme, really unique interpretation. Simple game but its awesome that you dare to do the coding yourself, keep coding and as a programmer I hope you enjoyed it. Great work.

Polish Python by rufson 2020-04-24T15:28:05Z

I wasn't sure what I was expecting when I clicked the thumbnail but I'm glad I did. You have a 5/5 in humor, thats granted, but the game was also really fun, spent a solid 10 minutes playing it and had a ton of fun. Great work.

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Grantchester Meadows by Laguna 2018-04-29T19:19:06Z

Fun game, not knowing exactly when the change from Idle Game to TD comes felt a little weird but the idea works nicely. After a couple of rounds I could hoard enough money that the game became really easy but it was nice playing it for a while.

Mortal Keybat by dob 2018-04-29T19:31:26Z

Good game, the multitasking is a lot of fun and the game is nicely explained through the dialogs.

Chesburgrellia by niborious 2018-04-25T06:02:14Z

Really fun game, had to read the instructions you left to notice the burgers needed to be build from top to bottom, I beat level one and I had 1 plate left when I clicked it the hole game crashed.

The console error: ``` Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined at Order.checkOrder (index.html:1308) at Order.click (index.html:962) at Order.update (index.html:932) at Order.update (index.html:1249) at CookyGame.update (index.html:540) at CookyGame.update (index.html:1966) at step (index.html:506) ```

Flatformer by Nick Rafalski 2018-04-27T01:57:25Z

That was a ton of fun, like some other people I felt the wait between turns was a little long (Maybe I'm just really impatient) but the merge between the two genres worked great. Also, I would have liked if there was some sort of preview of the movement before using the cards (Probably not implemented because of the time constraints but would be a great feature if you keep working on the game). Amazing work!

RUN JUMP TYPE by ppNovAqq 2018-04-23T03:52:20Z

The jumps into nothingness were really scary, couldn't beat the boss, not sure what I was supposed to do, I type too slot to try doing jump and hit.

ESC by kittyinthestudio 2018-04-26T05:33:06Z

Great mood, felt the music and simple graphics worked well with the ambient. I had some problems with the input because I was on upper case keys and they didn't work, but the controls felt pretty nice after I changed to lower case. I searched a bunch of rooms but didn't find anything and died outside a couple of minutes later.

Nosy God Car Racing by JanGamesDev 2018-04-23T03:58:19Z

@epiin There are hotkeys, press (1-9). I forgot to tell that inside the game.

Nosy God Car Racing by JanGamesDev 2018-04-30T03:14:32Z

@fussenkuh Thanks for playing.

@tero-pulkkinen Thanks for the feedback and I agree that the controls need more work.

@alferbayter I'm glad you had fun :D

@gurbx Thanks for the feedback, I was going to add descriptions or a help but my brain was to overloaded by the end of the development, enlarge make cars faster (and eventually they would hit neighboring cars but the gameplay too fast paced to get to that point) shrink make cars slower.

@wramp Thanks for playing and they are shortcuts but they are not explained ingame (I added them at the last minute) D:

@slashee-the-cow Thanks for the feedback and the ideas, and as always the initial idea had money, betting and upgrades but didn't make it in time.

@gamedevbynight Thanks for playing fellow Kha developer ;D

@nick-rafalski Thanks for the feedback and yeah I agree most of the abilities are there just to have fun (the command left/right are pretty useful to make civilians crash into enemy cars) and I should have made the input a little easier.

@rewzu Thanks for the feedback, and yes, those areas are not my strongest, I need to work on them.

@jshaffer94247 Thanks for playing, and someone else played only with boost and lighting so they are at least 2 different strategies :P

Oregon Trail: Hot Pursuit by merrak 2018-04-23T03:39:13Z

Wow, I'm amazed. This is a great looking game for 48 hours. The look and feel are incredible and looks a lot like the original game. Also, I will give 5 stars in humor just because of the rocket oxen scene.

DragTypist by Slashee the Cow 2018-04-26T05:40:03Z

52.817 - Played 2 times, but I wasn't sure how to balance the speed with the overheating, really fun anyways. Great job.

Deep Space by SG Alin 2018-04-23T18:36:16Z

Good game, the first stage is pretty hard, then it became a little bit easier, especially with the homing missiles. Also, the background is nice to look at.

I am Tree by SundanceKid 2018-04-23T03:44:32Z

It started well, then I made some bad decisions and I died, fun game.

S.M.A.R.T. by FussenKuh 2018-04-24T23:52:11Z

Cool little game, beat the medium difficulty easily but couldn't win against the hardest one. Whenever you make a sequel you can call it Super Matching Tournament Racing Two :P

Last Man Driving by Rewzu 2018-04-27T01:46:30Z

Nice game, with better AI or multiplayer it could be a ton of fun.

.PERIOD by Olivier Millochau 2018-04-24T23:04:04Z

I really liked the intro, the game was really hard, I gave up trying to finish level 3 after a while. Repeating the levels gets a little bit tiresome after you have to type the same thing over and over again, buts its a really nice game overall. Great work.

Adventure of the Lone Adventurer by prv 2018-04-23T03:28:48Z

Nice game, the music is good to get you into the mood. I took me a while to see the cards in the level, maybe some kind of visual aid or soundfx would help to notice them. Solid overall.

Guardian of the Depth by Animaster 2018-04-30T02:56:10Z

The graphics are really nice for being so simple, I think you are onto something but the lack of time shows in the game. Took me a while to figure out what I was doing but once I figured it out, but then it was really easy to complete the fishing minigame, just spam X and most of the times the obstacles don't even have enough time to spawn. With a little bit more work and some balancing, it could be a really fun game. Really good job for being your first LD.
