LD42 — Running out of space

Get Comfortable by mcccclean 2018-08-14T02:57:18Z

I loved discovering new position/configurations. Very witty and a fun new concept. An enjoyable play, Well Made!

modbot by 01010111 2018-08-15T02:42:07Z

Same comments as most, amazing game, very clean and fun but helicopter mode did not control like the others...Great Submission! I also suggest you make this a long full feature game.

.S by torcado 2018-08-14T00:57:07Z

I am in agreement with so many of these comments. GREAT GAME.

Corrupted Space by egordorichev 2018-08-14T03:53:55Z

I think I agree with everyone. Not sure how it fits the theme, but this is the best most polished game I have played yet.

Little Shop of Junk by auxC 2018-08-17T05:17:18Z

For such a small scope it feels like a big game. Very polished and it really makes you feel rushed so great job.

There is Never Enough Space!!! by Jamie Rollo 2018-08-14T00:35:16Z

Love the art, love the humour, love the simplicity.

Detox by FiloGC 2018-08-14T03:04:27Z

I have to agree with everyone and say very addicting and good job including leaderboard. That helped make it even more addicting.

Chief Data Engineer by candlesan 2018-08-13T01:28:42Z

After beating the last puzzle I loved it. Thought it was too easy until I got to the last two puzzles and I had to switch my brain back on after 48 hours of coding...Well done! This was my fav so far today.

Crystalmancer by Crowno 2018-08-13T23:27:09Z

I love this game but agree with the previous comment, there was not a long enough invincibility period after taking damage. Other then that very polished fun and difficult game. I LOVE this style of game.

The Big Crunch: Cosmic Horizon by Daniel Alhadeff 2018-08-13T00:48:15Z

Well, that was fun. Really enjoyed it and that art and audio style is right up my alley. I will point out something that could be fixed if you take this further when the ship has momentum and you change facing direction things go a bit wonky at times. Other than that it was tricky but a great game. Thank you for producing this.

super wall gunner by flome 2018-08-13T01:08:01Z

Very interesting. At first, I didn't think much of it as a shoot em up then I killed something and it all made sense. I loved it because I was not expecting it and the first thing that jumped in my head was "why didn't I think of that."

A very good job this weekend and keep making games. Love the gun!!

Falling Ecosystem by sprvrn 2018-08-14T03:22:21Z

This is worth some time to develop further. Has potential and fun to play. Great Job.

Edge Of Space by Valden 2018-08-14T03:40:27Z

Amazing game and the look was unbelievably cool. I didn't fully understand how to stop the space from engulfing me or if there even was a way to hold it back. Very challenging but fun to play. Great Job.

The Cave In by Jay Elbourne 2018-08-12T22:46:05Z

@p1nkmaria thank you so much for the comment. Appreciate it. It was a fun event.

No Space For Corpses by bigboyenzo 2018-08-13T23:12:40Z

Ya sounds need a bit of tweaking but the game was fun.

Utter Space by snakemuho 2018-08-13T23:18:37Z

Yes, I agree with comments, Very fun to play and love the idea. I wanted to retry over and over. Which is my only negative, my high score was not persisted between plays, use PlayerPrefs or something simple. I so wanted to beat my high score cause it was a lot of fun.

Obliterating Eyeball! by Cope 2018-08-13T01:12:07Z

Same, couldn't play. sorry.

Memory Leak by cr0w 2018-08-13T01:00:49Z

Very interesting. I wish I would have had a game over or reset back home at some point if I ran out of memory. It would make it more important to select memory and find the dog. Also if you continue this game and have more time to make the memory decisions mean something would be a very cool game. We only had 48 hours so that is hard to do in that limited time but if you had certain paths that you could not take because you deleted the memory would be a very cool game idea.

Stuck! by chkkll 2018-08-13T23:20:49Z

Yes, very unique and fun idea on the theme. I also keep going from level to level thinking it was the same. But it was very interesting. Good Job.

Stuck! by chkkll 2018-08-13T23:20:53Z

Yes, very unique and fun idea on the theme. I also keep going from level to level thinking it was the same. But it was very interesting. Good Job.

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

Zeus Needs Omelettes by rjhelms 2018-12-03T03:50:13Z

Very interesting unique and fun game...we have a friend in common and he passed your game on to me.

One note from gameplay, I would have loved to be able to jump a little higher..lol

Great Job, getting it done in time.

Generous Ginger George, the Gingerbreadman by limered 2018-12-06T03:09:23Z

Good old style of game but like many said previously the controls and camera could use some work. Great Job with this submission.

Slime Laboratory by Jimbly 2018-12-09T22:43:42Z

Had a hard time understanding what to do at first.

Vessel by nopogo 2018-12-06T13:32:13Z

Clean Game but I didn't feel any danger or requirement to do anything. Once I visited all the locations, I didnt know what to do and all of my inventory stats were still practically full.

Metamorphosis by silkworm_sweatshop 2018-12-06T03:05:47Z

This game felt great to play. Controlls were fanstatic and the art style fit the game well. Interesting take on the theme. I loved it.

Escape from Scrapville by dusho 2018-12-03T17:16:42Z

Wow that was fun. Great job with the concept and the execution.

Trahere by Rongo Matane 2018-12-09T23:16:12Z

Wow, so far that was the bast game I have played so far....set the mood great and follows the theme perfectly.

Wallace by MaximBegunov 2018-12-09T22:50:15Z

Yes, this game looks great, graphics fit perfectly with gameplay. Great use of the theme.

More Sacrifices! by Alex Davies 2018-12-03T19:45:00Z

Really cool. In the second part and after that the speed slows down drastically. Fun game. I agree with above comment, art was great.

Lava King by Jay Elbourne 2018-12-03T19:35:11Z

@andrea Thanks...I agree and although I made the first two screen (any key to continue) I missed coding it on the game over screen....When I played through after submitting that is the first point I wanted to correct.

Lava King by Jay Elbourne 2018-12-03T19:38:06Z

@sun-wukong Thanks for the feedback. The attack jump is definitely something I should fix....The enemies sticking was something I don't mind as their whole thing is to stay out of the lava and it's your job to get them in. I agree it can be annoying at time, so perhaps the effect I was going for was not the best.

Lava King by Jay Elbourne 2018-12-03T19:39:13Z

@erendelous I hear you...I think I should have put a little tutorial text at the beginning for the first minute or so.

Lava King by Jay Elbourne 2018-12-06T02:54:25Z

@rjhelms Thank you so much for the amazing feedback. I understand the points you make about the enemy on the side walls and the attack distance....I actually fixed the attack distance to be twice as wide as the visuals to fix that problem but forgot to extend the broom sprite out to match the change....The visual is then not good for the player. As you mentioned it still feels like a tight attack box.

Lava King by Jay Elbourne 2018-12-06T13:00:53Z

@silkworm-sweatshop Great Job on the over 200! Thanks for the comment.

Squircle by mzhovnach 2018-12-03T12:50:08Z

Wow this was interesting. The other comments are great and I will just say I loved the audio.

Artillery Fodder by seed42 2018-12-03T12:46:32Z

This is really fun. Challenging but fun.

EagleSong by planschi 2018-12-03T12:47:43Z

It is frustrating, but great job getting it complete!

Finding the Lamb by John Gabriel 2018-12-03T16:53:18Z

Very interesting and great visuals...Creepy!

Blocklings by abroadgames 2018-12-03T16:58:46Z

AMAZING! I think it could have used a good tut.....You did great.

Passage Home by Fnissalot 2018-12-03T17:07:56Z

Wow, it took a while to realize that I was killing the passengers to survive....so great for the theme. The sound may need the volume a touch lower. Great Job!

The Cave of Doom by TheMuffinMan314 2018-12-03T12:41:20Z

It was cool graphics but I had a hard time jumping over the spikes.... I may have just been very bad at the game. It was a great submission to get published.
