LD46 — Keep it alive (12)

Protect Your Princess by FPixel 2020-05-07T15:02:53Z ♥ 0

I like the concept and the art! The gameplay mechanic is simple, but it is very difficult. As others suggested, making it easier to begin with and gradually ramping up the danger level would add to the fun. Maybe also having the arrows shoot in patterns that can be recognized would help. A game like this would also give some opportunity to use positional audio cues to aid the player (hearing arrows fired from one side or the other in advance of their appearance).

This was surprisingly fun and hard! I like the simple but effective graphic style and the audio is very fitting. Good work.

Feed It Grapes, Keep It Alive by Mike Burns 2020-05-03T14:29:37Z ♥ 0

The gameplay here was surprisingly challenging, and the core mechanic is a clever one! Nice work!

LYMPHOSITE by Saturnyoshi 2020-05-02T00:28:30Z ♥ 2

Fantastic art design and execution on this. The gameplay was a bit hard for my taste. The lack of range on the default gun felt punishing and the currency needed for upgrades was too sparse. Really impressive effort, though, on the graphics, concept, and overall polish!

Good work! I enjoyed the art, concept, and story. It packs a lot of style and character into a short experience. I felt the number-repeat minigame was a bit too difficult, though I may just have a bad memory! If there had been time for a fuller version of the game, I'd have liked to know the characters better.

I enjoyed playing this, and it's quite well made. For a weekend's work, it's impressive. The concept is clever. I like the split mechanic of having the digging section result in a trip to the inner dungeons. It's easy to imagine this being developed into a full game with more varied mechanics. The art style really works well, too. Great work!

The Well of the Past by Chocolat-Endive 2020-04-25T03:26:12Z ♥ 1

I'm impressed with the amount of story you packed into a weekend's work. The music adds well to the atmosphere, too! I would have enjoyed more music as the story progressed.

Cool concept, the art is interesting. Gameplay was fun and uncomplicated... a little frustrating, but also kept me wanting to try for more. I like the mechanic of requiring the hammer pull, it adds just a bit more difficulty to the timing and pressure to act swiftly.

The Lizard in the Owl's Nest by Marnie 2020-04-24T03:04:31Z ♥ 1

I liked this game quite a bit. The concept is a nice interpretation of the theme, the gameplay is simple but fun, and the overall atmosphere is positive. The guitar track is fitting and enhances the experience. Well done!

@73N: KEEP. HIM. ALIVE. by OldPeculier 2020-04-23T23:31:23Z ♥ 2

Really beautiful graphics, great concept, and solid feel overall.

Responsibility by BlueMirror 2020-04-22T02:52:43Z ♥ 2

HTML5 worked well for me in Firefox. I enjoyed the game a lot, the graphics are wonderful and the gameplay was fun. I guess growing a baby dragon might not be the best idea after all, but it sure was cute!

The Last Robot Archer by bernard-bumblebutt 2020-04-21T03:50:45Z ♥ 0

The game plays very smoothly, looks great and is a lot of fun. A full/expanded version would be awesome!
