LD46 — Keep it alive (61)

Bobbleheads want to dance by jk5000 2020-05-11T05:53:19Z ♥ 1

Nice game! Cool idea, I like how the narration feels so natural and smooth. Is it split into segments so that different ending narrations can be placed suitably anytime?

For Ducks' Sake by Rolph 2020-05-08T17:46:50Z ♥ 1

I liked the game, it was intense and fun. One note about the 8 way aim, I understand the retro aspect but maybe it would be better if the shots went in the direction in which the mom duck is facing (ie currently moving or previous direction). We cant see the mouse cursor and that makes it very weird in terms of aiming

PiΓΉ, a bird song by Ekilibr 2020-05-08T13:50:34Z ♥ 2

One the best ld46 game I've played! I loved everything, the mood, sounds, graphics, movement etc! Once I figured out that I have to collect all the birds at once it was fun. Once i got to the second bird, attraction, it put a smile on my face. Its a good idea/twist to have. Really well implemented, simply loved it :)

Pandonteus by Dock Frankenstein 2020-05-08T13:21:34Z ♥ 0

The graphics, sounds and movement are all good, but I wasnt able to understand what was to be done. How do regain health, by collecting items/branches? and how to collect them. Otherwise if there's no regaining and its like a puzzle with max number of turns then I was stuck in one level πŸ€”

Also add a restart button or main menu button (if it was already there it wasnt visible to me, probably UI scaling), because when recording gameplay its easier that way

Keep What Alive by Valeth2124 2020-05-08T13:10:42Z ♥ 3

Really nice game, good sounds and graphics, good player movement too. I found out how to not get infected by not walking near a person who is coughing but then, I didnt know how exactly the time passed in game, later I guess I realised it must be through activities like cooking and going downtown rather than walking around. There are a few ambiguities tho; when exactly to feed family to avoid them starving to death. Also after stabbing the right side neighbour's house, I was able to collect food and 20 bucks daily at night. And also it wasnt apparent when the market downtown was closing

Keep The Spirit Stone Allive by Ausstein 2020-05-08T08:20:17Z ♥ 1

I played the post jam version. It's pretty good, peaceful game. A harder difficulty can be added. A major issue with it is that once we play for a long time there's so much of spawning/instantiating going on that it lags a lot. Idk how much polling can help. Maybe DOTS can help, but it has its own cons. My laptop isnt a gaming laptop but it runs games like csgo decently. Towards the end I had 2.5GB RAM used with a max of 3 i guess (But RAM is 8GB and taskmanager shows like that) and also a lot of cpu usage. GPU was relatively free, around 20% at times or 5%

Also i saw that the grass spawn delay was buyable even after it was 0 seconds!

The Night Of The BEAST by Fer9001 2020-05-08T06:19:33Z ♥ 1

This is a really nice game actually! I liked the art and the mood and sounds and the camera effect. It took me sometime to figure out that the flashlight guys cant be killed, and I didnt understand why the beast eats me when they catch me. Overall awesome game, definitely needs more ratings! What exactly happened inthe ending? The beast still ate us?

Wordbound by SpaceGuy99 2020-05-08T06:06:00Z ♥ 0

I wasnt able to see the next button because of UI scaling issue πŸ€”

Guardian of the Flame by Mathstr0fficial 2020-05-08T05:45:08Z ♥ 0

The concept looks nice. One thing is that it's easy to avoid the cloud because of the screen overlap and we can go through one end of the screen but the cloud cant. Also once the flame got stuck in a wall for me.

Don't Kill Death (Or Die Trying) by MadeByChaz 2020-05-08T05:28:39Z ♥ 1

Amazing game!!! I loved the sounds, graphics and the smooth movement. I liked how it turned from no obstacles to an obstacle massacre! I would love to try out all upgrades purchased together but the upgrade cost rose exponentially within the 3rd upgrade i think. Also, holding down left mouse button for almost the entire time was tiring. And the top right soul button, after getting into the soul store I assumed that the bottom right button was to go back to the game xD but it was for the main menu, I took a while to get the hang of the game and was able to smash souls after that xD. Awesome game overall! Loved it! I loved the humor as well lol

Mainframe overload by Evanaellio 2020-05-08T04:55:35Z ♥ 1

The idea is good, the controls are good except for attack - spacebar. I feel that mouse click for attack may have been better. The graphics and sounds are cool πŸ‘Œ

Pet Slime by Aceofsquares 2020-05-08T04:48:23Z ♥ 0

cute animation and good idea :)

Defend the Loot! by ArtemFTW 2020-05-07T20:11:23Z ♥ 1

The game was good, I enjoyed playing it, died in wave 8 :p I kinda figured out one strategy but maybe not the best.

Also, in wave 7 and another one before that, there would be 1 enemy left and I would have to search for it xD. Also, I saw that it was a bit heavy on the GPU for some reason. Apart from those i liked the game, the sounds, art and gameplay. It was good :)

Heartful Defense by Nelson William 2020-05-07T19:12:55Z ♥ 1

A really good and enjoyable game! Reached wave 11 in 1 heart challenge

Few things to point out :

1. Showing the new path before setting down an item like box or tower on the current path would be really helpful

2. At the starting it would be good to give atleast 2 towers costing 5 each and the rest random

I enoyed the game a lot, 33 minutes of gameplay uploading :p

Edit: Also I forgot to use wasd for the camera πŸ˜…

Fire Age by BiOniKMonSTeR 2020-05-07T15:33:45Z ♥ 0

I liked the isometric view, the art and models was really nice, I almost missed the 4 pages of tutorials xD.

I like the idea and different features it has, awesome job to finish it within 3 days! πŸ’ͺ

Lamps by qkjosh 2020-05-07T15:04:55Z ♥ 0

Amazing atmosphere, lovely graphics. I was spooked out was definitely expecting a jump scare xD. Nice idea, overall I liked it. About the theme is it about keeping the light alive?

Feed The Fire by Nuanda79 2020-05-07T14:31:11Z ♥ 2

Nice game! Good idea with the flashlight and executed well. The hard level was indeed touch xD. I tried different tactics, and it required a great deal of concentration as the levels progressed since the flashlight became smaller and smaller. Good and art and sounds too.

Maybe instead of pitch black, a grey background with outline of trees can be better, I guess in terms of eye strain. But overall well done!

Brainstorm by Shakedimus 2020-05-07T14:14:28Z ♥ 1

I like the idea :) It's very interesting and original I feel. I got a good score in between. I had a bug during one of the game, I wasnt able to click school after a while. I didnt see any other bugs.

I like the idea but then the shooting and connecting part seemed harder, it can be better to have a different colour or more of a highlight for the word from which we are currently going to shoot from. I made that mistake once in game.

I'm not sure of alternatives to the shooting mechanics tho. Overall its a good idea and it can be improved. Also, Im curious which api do you use to calculate the score/ similarity between the words?

SAVE THE DINOS! by marcusnystrand 2020-04-25T14:41:52Z ♥ 1

Intense gameplay! Wow; I couldnt go beyond 1:20 xD Cute animations and sounds πŸ’ͺ

The Last Guardian by civmaniac 2020-04-25T14:33:52Z ♥ 2

I really liked the game, won it in my second try, and in my third try I found out an easy way to make cactii and by summoning cloud to one pool of water and keeping on planting cactus seeds. Found out the thunder feature too, good job on the hidden features and a subtle remark of it in the description. Are there more πŸ€” xD

Overall I liked playing the game a lot, but wanted more since I was able to finish it fast; Maybe in the post jam version you can have more levels with different waves of enemies, more difficuly etc, and harder to grow cactus maybe

Good job for a game jam game πŸ’ͺ I liked the sounds, and art and the mood too, it was fun playing it

(I saw one cactus glitching near the tree for some reason, dont know why xD)

Here's a screenshot of my gameplay :p :) the-last-guardian.png

Sunlit by palsina 2020-04-25T10:25:34Z ♥ 1

A really pleasant game which we can keep playing, I reached 136 and could keep going xD

Its a really nice and calm game. Good job πŸ’ͺ

Friendly Fire by very dark lord 2020-04-25T09:56:38Z ♥ 3

Wow amazing game! πŸ”₯ Awesome overall I loved it!! I made it to the end! Do you guys have other games or youtube or twitch or twitter or discord servers :p

The Dragon's Curse by Aditya Kumar 2020-04-25T09:35:40Z ♥ 2

I played a lotta times, never won tho. At max i got 2 relics and lost in the end. Its a hard game but overall its good, maybe it could do with some hints and making it easier to win. Good random maps/graph πŸ‘Œ which algo did you use for it? Overall good game, interesting gameplay

Social Distancing For LadyBugs by mehrdadsh 2020-04-25T05:37:19Z ♥ 1

Its a nice game, Im gonna take a look at the swarm AI πŸ‘Œ Nice sounds and art too

Keep Pit Alive! by BunnyDen 2020-04-25T05:35:21Z ♥ 2

The game is nice, art, animations are sounds are good

I noticed a few things; when running into a wall the horse does the glitching thing; then for the rock which fell from above maybe after it reaches the ground it can be made non lethal for the horse to touch it.

Nice breakable boxes which you have to climb to get the apples above

Lich Clicker by Fictions 2020-04-25T05:25:36Z ♥ 3

Nice game, cool art work, awesome voice! nice animations and sounds

I like the choices too, is there any variation to the ritual stone?

Also the starting page was too zoomed in, couldnt read all the text

Tell a Fairy Tale by Zesix 2020-04-25T05:07:02Z ♥ 0

Nice idea. The art looks nice. Nice music! Although at first it was hard to understand the goal soon I caught up Maybe a bit short gameplay but you can extend it in post jam version maybe

Also, when moving around in the ground floor sometimes, some parts / rooms / people from the first floor are visible

DON`T DIE STAY ALIVE! by PenguinBob 2020-04-25T04:54:42Z ♥ 0

I got a 162, nice and addictive gameplay xD πŸ™ˆ Good music and cute blinking animation xD

Movin' and Keepin' Alive by G.A.GameStudio 2020-04-24T09:17:00Z ♥ 1

Finished both jam and easy versions! Nice mechanic with not being able to stop xD Overall good game

Tiny Fragments by Daniel Moreno 2020-04-23T18:18:02Z ♥ 1

Really nice and simple game! Concise idea and properly implemented. Looking forward to more levels in post jam versions :p

Story of Lost Demon by Epsulon 2020-04-23T18:00:09Z ♥ 0

Good game overall, I like the animations and controls, smooth.

Maybe a checkpoint feature would be nice. It was a bit annoying to walk till the place where I died and again fall for the same trap πŸ˜‚

The traps were sneaky and nice xD

When the lift goes up it would be nice to have a vertical parallex effect if that's possible, like the horizontal one. Is it possible to have both together? πŸ€”

Space Ranger by LuCecyl 2020-04-23T17:35:40Z ♥ 3

Nice game, really neat cool looking art, nice sounds, got the planet healed in 48 secs in 4th trial i guess :p

At the start I took a bit of time to understand the gameplay but after that it was easy.

Only thing is that I felt that the gameplay was a bit less, but hey its a jam game. Maybe it can be extended post jam, more features and stuff. Maybe multiple planets to manage? or a basic longer health bar, difficulty levels, various asteroid and star types πŸ€” endless possibilities :p πŸ’ͺ

Last Light by LykaWolfie 2020-04-23T17:23:42Z ♥ 2

Just played the game, I like the controls, smooth enough and balanced, but I saw a jittery motion on the character at its max speed. It can be due to the camera position update not placed in `FixedUpdate()` or maybe due to the character position update directly to the `transform.position` without rigidbody. I had the former issue in my game πŸ˜… It's a really nice concept, although I wasnt able to get past the 4 monsters ramming from both sides. I would like to play the post jam version! And also, I was getting stuck when attacked by the monsters I'm not very sure of it

Mycelium by BlobRoss 2020-04-23T06:25:39Z ♥ 1

Amazing tower defense game! Loved it, gonna play more xD. Got 100 score at firt

The HeartBeat by pomelouncia 2020-04-23T05:43:39Z ♥ 1

Amazing game! Wow it look so very cool! Awesome graphics, art, sounds and mood, love it! Nice touch with the heartbeat. I somehow completed the game in my second try successfully. You made all the art for it? The drawings etc?

Also, as a side note, after i lost in my first try i tried playing again but the secretary wasn't reading out the questions, so i restarted the game and it worked.

Final Interrogation by Gamer Fates 2020-04-23T05:22:07Z ♥ 1

Nice game. Tho the camera zoom thing wasn't that proper πŸ€” I found it hard to guess the culprit Im not good at these types of games xD. How do we know its the guy? Game can be improved, but good for a compo game

The Power of The Five Books by Marcelo Zoletti 2020-04-22T18:39:32Z ♥ 2

I liked the game 😍 Good job on it πŸ’ͺ

I finished it and found the 5 books, I enjoyed it tbh. Only that at times the player would get stuck to the wall if we run / jump into it, but we can recover by moving the other way.

I liked the art, the smooth movement, graphics, and the mood and the sounds as well. An extra soundtrack also would've been nice tho. Nice concept and properly done jam game πŸ’ͺ πŸ‘

Since its done in Unity I wanted to ask the functions used for the movement πŸ™ˆ Is it transform.Translate? πŸ€” Rigidbody / character controller used?

Space Jam by ReallyQbert 2020-04-22T18:06:44Z ♥ 2

Nice game, i agree with the end screen comment and also the energy mechanic. Although I feel that maybe WASD according to the ships rotation may have been better That is W cause the ship to move towards the mouse position. πŸ€” Im not sure how it would play tho But the mechanic is good

StarMart by LadislavOdstrcil 2020-04-22T17:58:38Z ♥ 1

Awesome game!!!! πŸ’ͺ Nice art and sounds especially

Beetle Blast by OursBleu 2020-04-21T17:44:57Z ♥ 2

Good idea Could add more features Maybe like more puzzles or twists instead of straitforward gameplay

The Last Burito by lazarche 2020-04-21T14:52:05Z ♥ 2

Awesome! Intense

I dont know why but the file download is getting failed in between.. maybe a problem at my end πŸ€”

Man, I loved it! It is truly The Flame Within! I like how it related to game dev, life etc etc, Nice work πŸ’ͺ

Finding Sam by nolanfa 2020-04-21T13:08:02Z ♥ 2

The art style is nice. I feel that it would have been nice to have choices as replies and separate story endings But good job tho

Awesome game! reached 120 in unfair mode! 1.png

Only one way by dfkgjndljf 2020-04-21T11:39:29Z ♥ 3

Nice game. controls could have been shown like in video in game as well. Nice and simple concept. Also, I would prefer to have saving level feature so that I could go back to the last level when i die, instead of repeating all the levels

Keep it afloat! by Maka 2020-04-21T10:41:16Z ♥ 3

Loved it! Simple yet really nice to play

Light or Death? by Julius Vander Arend 2020-04-21T10:37:07Z ♥ 2

Awesome game! Loved the graphics, mood and sounds, gameplay is also good. πŸ‘Œ The art was made previously?

Sellonia by nopogo 2020-04-21T10:26:38Z ♥ 0

Im getting the same experince as vex. Figured out "qwer" keys to change attacks. But again random game over scene. No feedback on health decreasing etc The art and graphics all look nice. Movement and gameplay is also good I guess but needs more guide as to what is happenning etc And @diego-mg getting stuck at the might be because of the title text covering the buttons, try clicking on the corneres of the play button.

Exstare by IC Rainbow 2020-04-21T10:14:18Z ♥ 1

Simple game. Good work. Maybe can include more features to spice it up

Feed the Fire! by Tommeh 2020-04-21T10:04:23Z ♥ 0

Really nice game! I liked it Although I would like to keep the progress where the fire increases the level, since if I die it would be the same task I have to do again to reach the level

Engineer of Utopia by Optigambit 2020-04-21T09:41:21Z ♥ 1

Same here, some instructions would be very helpful

Keep Them Alive by acoto87 2020-04-21T09:36:14Z ♥ 1

nice art style. Simple game. Can be a bit more fun i guess πŸ€”

Im getting an error on windows too..

The Last Sun by JunaGames 2020-04-21T06:31:32Z ♥ 1

The game is nice. Good idea, nice mechanics. I liked playing it. Only one thing that bothered me was that I could aim at the enemies and shoot well, so I kept running away from them. But I still like how it feels with the rotating mechanic. Good job overall πŸ’ͺ Also remember that you have to rate other people's game to get your own rate by others :p

Suicidal timer by sledzik 2020-04-21T01:16:09Z ♥ 1

Nice and simple idea!! Good job there πŸ’ͺ In the end the button dies, yea? πŸ˜
