LD46 — Keep it alive

Keep Hope Alive by joe40001 2020-05-05T00:42:33Z

Very interesting take on the theme. I like how you are practically forced to hit rock bottom at least a couple of times by the difficulty of the game (or life itself). This is a great job, although I can't say I had a good time playing it (it hits really close to home). Great experience and very well done execution.

Tiny Reactors by blay09 2020-05-03T17:49:11Z

Okay, this one is my favorite of all the games I've tried so far. Super fun, hard but with a greatly balanced learning curve, amazing sound design and feedback to the player... Super polished and amazing game. I got to 330.17 seconds but not on the ranked one, so I couldn't submit it. And I'm really thinking about trying get a highscore haha. Great work altogether.

He Protec by ildfuglen 2020-05-03T19:21:36Z

Loved the concept and the execution. Great work!!

Keep It Alive by ZenriS 2020-05-04T18:28:42Z

Incredibly cool concept! I really enjoyed the pacing of the difficulty and how simple and easy to understand everything is. Great job!!!

It is tired by Narudgi 2020-05-11T13:21:34Z

Pretty, simple and effective. Great music and nice difficulty slope. Great work overall!! I got 10195 points :sunglasses:

Keep it alive by Hexa3 2020-05-04T17:53:33Z

Nice entry!! The graphics are really nice ^^. The gameplay could be improved just by making the fire counter go down a bit overtime, so you had more reason to keep getting logs even when not being touched by the water. It's a very nice game nonetheless. Congrats <3

Keep IT Alive! by flynn 2020-05-04T17:24:55Z

Love the graphics and the music!! Great job!

Defend the Loot! by ArtemFTW 2020-05-05T11:03:58Z

Great work. Loved the sound, loved the graphics and the gameplay, although it lacks a bit of depth, with the different blocks and enemies it feels nice. Great entry!!

Have Mercy by Stefan Jovanovic 2020-05-04T23:18:47Z

Really liked the concept and the way the hp ranges mechanic is designed. I loved figuring out how to make the numbers work, it felt like a puzzle disguised as a turn-based combat. Also amazing graphics and sound. Loved it!!

Keep IT Alive by edgelord 2020-05-03T18:16:38Z

I liked this fun and simple concept. I could've used a little extra feedback, a bit more artistic work and a few more phrases, but overall it's pretty cool and really funny. Great job ^^

Soul Dungeon by VugarS 2020-05-03T20:20:45Z

It's a really cool concept. Graphics are great, the mechanic itself is nice and the overall feel is pretty good. It lacks a bit of balancing, because after a little while, hp scales really high, which makes it a bit too easy, but I really enjoyed it. Also, after room 9 or 10 (I can't remember) I couldn't play no more. It got stuck.

Anyway, great concept, great execution and congrats!!

Coldman by NightJolt 2020-05-05T10:39:07Z

Pretty cool and well designed concept. I love the graphics and the sound. Although I would've loved to see a little more interaction within the systems (maybe thirst or hunger affecting how fast you can move, or the low temperature making the crops grow slower) but overall a pretty solid gameplay and great job!!

Chill Thrive by JDK2209 2020-05-03T18:29:39Z

@mantaraytv-games Thanks for trying it out <3

Chill Thrive by JDK2209 2020-05-03T18:32:59Z

@rjhelms Thanks for playing our game ^^ The rain doesn't have to fall on the tree directly, but the clouds have more water in them the darker they are. And the sun does have the most effect when it is directly overhead, and so does the moon. Thanks for the feedback <3

Chill Thrive by JDK2209 2020-05-03T18:49:24Z

@narwaffles Thanks for playing it and for all the feedback :D And I agree, handling the controls on PC is not as intuitive as it should.

Chill Thrive by JDK2209 2020-05-03T18:57:35Z

@bkmld I'll update asap to add builds in both Linux and Mac!!

*Edit* I couldn't make the build work on Linux, sorry about that :C I'll try using the WebGL build later.

Chill Thrive by JDK2209 2020-05-03T19:40:04Z

Thanks for your comment <3 @ryjcio

Chill Thrive by JDK2209 2020-05-03T21:40:35Z

@bkmld Just uploaded the HTML5 version <3

Chill Thrive by JDK2209 2020-05-03T22:55:13Z

@paul-sinnett you have to swipe the button (click it and drag the mouse to the right, then release it. The faster you do it, the windier it gets)

Chill Thrive by JDK2209 2020-05-03T22:56:09Z

@ziplockbagman Totally agree with the feedback about the wind. I'll try my best to improve it in an update. Thanks for playing :D

Chill Thrive by JDK2209 2020-05-03T22:56:28Z

@marcusnystrand Thank you for playing and the feedback <3

Chill Thrive by JDK2209 2020-05-04T16:24:35Z

@roka-josh Thanks for the feedback <3 @fenshan is working on some feedback improvements already and we may add some features in the near future ^^

Chill Thrive by JDK2209 2020-05-04T21:44:37Z

@exilegl Thanks for playing and the feedback!! We are coming up with some player feedback fixes post-jam, so we will add a pause menu while we are at it ^^

Chill Thrive by JDK2209 2020-05-04T23:45:19Z

@stefan-jovanovic Thank you for playing it <3

Chill Thrive by JDK2209 2020-05-04T23:48:58Z

@vesper Yes, we are working on a better way to give the player feedback and some improvement to the wind. Thanks for playing and the feedback ^^

Keep the ball alive by BRTEK007 2020-05-03T20:28:50Z

The idea is really fun, the graphics are amazing and, although it really is hard to control, it feels really rewarding when you finally get the hang of it. Great job!!

Nurturer (Compo) by Zanthous 2020-05-04T22:42:09Z

At first I didn't quite get what I was supposed to do, but the moment I understood I fell in love with the game. Such a well designed gameplay flow, great audio, fitting graphics, randomly generated levels... This game has it all. Congratulations!! Amazing job!!

The Last Guardian by civmaniac 2020-05-05T10:21:23Z

That's a really cute game!! I love the artwork and the music. The mechanics are nice and simple and the way the clouds come by the tree when you attract them is kind of soothing, even if there are dozen monsters nearby hahaha. Really great work, although I felt a bit defenseless with just the single attack and no dodging or blocking mechanic. The stun does the trick, but I could've used a little more combat-wise. Great entry!!

Keep it alive by PD Dev 2020-05-03T17:59:10Z

The concept is nice and the difficulty changes are very well done. It lacks a little polishing, especially on level design as some enemies attacks don't seem avoidable at all and can be a little frustrating after a while. Sound design was great. Good job overall!!

The Last Flower by Unimaginable_Code_Studios 2020-05-10T20:56:02Z

I'm in awe. I love you. I would bow before you if I ever saw you.

Bugs And Glitches v1.0 by PeelyGames1019 2020-05-03T20:53:55Z

Awesome graphics and UI. Simple and effective. Great job!

Gluttony by Prackli 2020-05-06T19:14:34Z

Really great platformer! Nice job ^^

Play Hangman and Learn Kiswahili by bkmld 2020-05-03T18:40:19Z

Congrats on making a game! It would help a lot if the words definitions were displayed afterwards. Good job ^^

Keep Baby Alive!!! by sievo 2020-05-04T22:25:12Z

Simple and nice gameplay. Solid entry and great job!

Message by NoamRaz 2020-05-03T19:31:11Z

The game is really cute and the graphics are pretty good. I would recommend toning the movement drag down a bit, as it makes it a bit frustrating until you get used to it. The music is also pretty cool. Great job!!

Floccy Land by MikyDev 2020-05-05T10:55:00Z

Needs more work, especially with the collisions and the level design, but keep it going and congrats on making a game!!

Egg Scramble by bennybig98 2020-05-03T17:35:45Z

The concept is cool and innovative, but the controls are not very well handled. Also, difficulty-wise it's a bit over the top. Apart from that, very solid use of the theme, the mechanics are really fun and the sound design is really good. Congrats!

SAVE THE DINOS! by marcusnystrand 2020-05-03T23:04:59Z

What a great use of the theme and execution. Really fun and simple, with great graphics and a fitting music. I really like the mating mechanic too, it feels super refreshing compared to other games with a similar set of mechanics. If I had to point out anything, it'd be the scaling of the difficulty, as it becomes almost impossible after a couple of minutes playing, but it makes sense, being a small and simple game, so no complaints. Congratulations on a great work!!

Little Shop of Wall Street by davidwesst 2020-05-03T18:45:11Z

It's a cool concept, but not very polished. It could really use some extra feedback and sound but it does have potential. Congrats on making a game <3

Free Munchers by Logan Perkins 2020-05-03T19:06:26Z

Very interesting concept! I really like math and I really love puzzles, so this was a nice combination. Munchers is a great game. It does have a few bugs here and there and the graphics are not very pleasing, but overall I liked the execution.

Spirit Of Dying by Sierpinski-Simon 2020-05-03T17:23:04Z

This is a great and simple game. I love puzzle games and this was a refreshing take on the theme. I loved the mechanics, the level design, the art... The only thing I could point out is that the music feels a bit ostinate after a little while, but it does fit the fast-paced gameplay, so it's really not an objectively bad choice, just a personal opinion. Great job ^^
