LD39 — Running out of Power

Crigy by jkniest 2017-08-01T18:39:39Z

@liquidbrain Thanks for the feedback but I don't know what you mean about "lack of music and sound". The game has two soundstracks and for nearly any action a sound effect (shooting, hitting, collecting batteries, hitting enemies, and so on).

Thanks!

LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Catastrophic Cities by Drauthius 2017-12-05T10:58:03Z

Graphics

I really liked the graphics and the amount of detail you have put into them. It feels very nice, when the city grows without you placing the buildings manually. Also the user interface and the icons were structured and well made.

Idea

The idea is very innovative and I haven't seen anything like that before. I like the fact that you have to watch multiple values (money, criminal rate, acceptance rate), and so on.

Theme

This game suited the theme very well. The more industry you have, the worse it is :-)

Overall

As you said yourself, the balancing was not good. After a short amount of time I had nearly no fires (or at least I could put them off in one round) and my acceptance rate was constantly at 95% to 100%. For a prototype this is very good and I would have loved if it would be a little harder and if there would be an actual goal :-)

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

Fight of glory by jkniest 2018-12-04T16:05:19Z

@vlad-dae Yeah, we have noticed this bug also a few minutes ago. Basically you need to press "Next turn" once so that the enemy makes their first turn and then you can play. We'll make a hotfix later and upload it.

@vlad-dae @gaspard @luca1152 Thanks for playing!

Fight of glory by jkniest 2018-12-10T13:51:42Z

@julien-darras Hey, thanks for your honest feedback. We really appreciate it. Only in two levels the enemies have a healer. Of course the game can't be interesting for everyone. Based on the other critics here and from other people I think they have enjoyed the game as a whole. But I can understand your point. The final boss is indeed just a bigger version. To be honest here, the time has ran off and we just wanted to add something quickly, so that the game has an end.

We think the sacrifice mechanics are not just "added". We had planned from the beginning on that we want to make this game like it is now. I think the sacrifice mechanics are quite well implemented and are making the game a lot more interesting. I've seen some test players really think about who to sacrifice.

But it can't be everyones game I guess. Thanks for your feedback!

@arnau @publicidadeba @adam-b @pawciu Thanks for playing and for your feedback!

@gukuu Hm.. you need to click on your units to start moving / attacking. This is the only controls we have implemented. Oh and you need to press the "Next turn" button on the lower- right side after you have moved / attacked with all units.

Thanks everyone!

Exposure by willvasco 2018-12-04T15:44:36Z

The atmospheres were stunning! It just looked and felt perfect. Nice job!

Breeze Wanderer by Luca1152 2018-12-04T15:56:35Z

Nice game overall. It's quite hard but I had fun playing it

Mage by kosmosos 2018-12-04T15:36:43Z

I think the gameplay idea was really good. I found the controls a little bit.. lets say.. weird. Especially the shooting. But I guess, thats just me. Other than that, a hard but funny game!

Views by arnau 2018-12-04T15:33:53Z

I really like the music and sound effects. Well done! The game itself was fun to play. Got a score of ~1.300 and enjoyed it!

Potty Panic by Ryan Brenner 2018-12-04T15:50:12Z

Funny idea and really cool graphics. Enjoyed playing it!

LD44 — Your life is currency

Game of Fields by jkniest 2019-05-13T12:22:14Z

@multiplexor @maychant I've noticed the bug as well. I'll push a quick fix this evening. Thanks for all your feedback!

LD45 — Start with nothing

ChopChop by jkniest 2019-10-15T11:36:17Z

@vovin Thanks for your feedback!

Normally it shouldn't be possible to walk out of bounds. I guess some colliders are wrongly placed or something. We'll probably make a bugfix release were we fix the mouse sensitivity and the out of bounds error.

Also as @sillyman987 said, sometimes the game crashes. It seams to crash when a player / base dies. We'll also look into it.

Thanks to all for your valuable feedback!

Vicious Cycle by ryzy27 2019-10-28T19:34:39Z

The pixel art is really impressive. Nice job on that! Especially the animations looked very great!

In terms of gameplay it's super simple but I really was interested what comes next. I really like the idea

Your choice by Tropos 2019-10-15T10:32:45Z

I enjoyed this game very much. Played it for 20 minutes or so and unforunetley couln't finish it. I found the game quite hard, but I think that's intended.

Overall great graphics, nice music and sound effect. The controls are feeling very nice and overall it feels complete!

I Am Hobo by Japayne 2019-10-15T10:40:10Z

Yay! I am no hobo anymore.

I really liked the concept although it got quite easy after you unlocked the normal house. It would probably be cooler and harder if you would actually spending the money (for example when buying the house or something).

Overall nice game!

LD46 — Keep it alive

The Elons Xtreme by jkniest 2020-05-03T12:36:02Z

@lcstark Thanks for your feedback! You are right, a clock and a small titanium mine would be a fantastic idea!

Hell Yeah! by ryzy27 2020-05-03T12:38:13Z

Hey,

nice game as always! The graphics are really nice and in combination with the music and soundeffects the feeling of a disco/club was really well done.

I personally found the mini games quite difficult, but after a few tries I got pretty far into the game and enjoyed it very much!

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

I GOTTA SH!T by spyispie120 2021-04-29T02:01:31Z

Perfection.

Enceladus Depths by ryzy27 2021-04-27T22:53:00Z

Hey, nice seeing from you again!

I really like the art style. The game itself was quite simple and easy to understand. After I lost my first two drones I gave up.

I really like that there seams to be random enemies (which shoot in different intervals).

Gone Fishing by matthewi 2021-04-29T01:56:30Z

I really, really love the graphics combination of 3D and 2d. The game itself was a lot of fun. I like the upgrades and different fish sprites.

LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Delay the INEDIBLE by Cambryx 2022-04-06T14:53:19Z

I love the art style and background music. The game itself just feels complete, everything works nicely, the particle effects / feedback / tutorial messages feel good.

One of the best entries I've seen so far!

Inferno Fox by jkniest 2022-04-05T13:48:59Z

Thanks for the feedback! @trev3lyan What do you mean worthless? There are two pickups: One gives you +100 points (which is quite a lot) and the other one is a jetpack or did I miss something and something doesnt work? :dog:

Thanks again for playing!

Inferno Fox by jkniest 2022-04-05T13:53:36Z

@Trev3lyan Ahh okay! Understood you wrong. I thought you meant, the pickups were worthless :face_palm: Thanks!

Extinction is inevitable by thetatautau 2022-04-05T13:28:03Z

Love the graphics and the idea! At some point I didn't want to upgrade anymore since it seamed like everything was worse than I already had!

Generally I really like the weirdness that comes, when a lot of random creatures start walking in. One small little feedback: Maybe it would be cool to highlight your own creatures. I found it a little bit hard in the "late"-game to differenciate my species from other because at some point a lot of them looked nearly identical.

Overall great game/simualation!

Dino Village by Suchista 2022-04-05T13:10:42Z

This game is awesome! I really like the pressuring aspect to it. Unfournetly I am too incompetent to not let my dinos starve, but after a bit I managed that too.

Really like the idea. Graphics are cute <3

Settlers & Prophecies by Chocolat-Endive 2022-04-05T13:47:32Z

I had the game already bookmarked in my browser, because of your screenshots / posts during the ludum dare. I really, really love the graphic style! The game itself is very fun, I needed a bit to fully understand how all the different buildings worked, but once that was figured out, the game was a lot of fun!

Warmer by S1l3Jamal 2022-04-05T13:04:12Z

I love the particle effects and the music. Also the message at the end! I agree that this is an important topic.

One small feedback: At first I always clicked on the costs / modifier text right to the image of the building I wanna build. Maybe the whole black box should be clickable? But its just a small UX-thingy.

Congratulations for your first entry! Hope to see you in future jams too!

Dino Savior by ShorkieSoftware 2022-04-05T14:07:24Z

Was a fun little game. My highscore was something around 170.

I really like the walking sounds. At first I thought the game was easy, but then more and more astroids appeared and I gave up :spy:

Don't Let Me Down by Trev3lyan 2022-04-05T13:54:56Z

Love the art style and the woof sounds. The game it self is really fun to play.. but who didn't play those games as a child, where you keep the ball as much in the air as possible, so it was a nice throwback.

Also the woof-sounds: Amazing!

LD57 — Depths

Copper Soul by Kamuniaft 2025-04-11T18:04:25Z

I really enjoyed playing :) Needed two tries but got it in the end. I like the choices you have on the question marks and the graphic style

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Zombie Slayer by jkniest 2018-04-26T09:35:05Z

@Plopsis I saw it. I will try to reupload the web version later this day.

@Elmeri There are random repair sets / toolboxes located in the world. They will restore your life.

@Steve Sparkes @pepejson Thank you :-)
