LD39 — Running out of Power

JouleThief: Charge Your Phone by kroltan 2017-08-03T21:09:05Z

Pretty tough game! The art is nice and the mood is pretty good! The idea of having the cops chase you as you're breaking in and charging your phone is really funny! I enjoyed playing for sure!

Street Beat Saviour by gamesplusjames 2017-08-02T15:42:05Z

Hey GamesplusJams and Lumpy. The art was great, the gameplay fun, and the beats were funky! I had a good time playing it! Who made the music?

Giuseppe's Kidnapping by VEGACIDE 2017-08-01T04:56:36Z

Thanks @LJFMX ! It wouldn't have been possible without the super smarts of Grimjoey!

Giuseppe's Kidnapping by VEGACIDE 2017-08-03T21:15:04Z

yeah like @vegacide said, thanks everyone for your comments! @mspawa Error at a game over? Strange, though the game is meant to end there so the error shouldn't hurt gameplay. Thanks for pointing it out!

The Big Nom by Pixel Lifetime 2017-12-07T01:32:25Z

It was very fun. I enjoyed the puzzles and breakin my way out with my secret techniques!

The Six Hundred by baconsenpaii 2017-12-04T23:57:53Z

Bacon, yous game is very nice. Good job! I like your confused aliens!

Celestial Stonewall by Mike Marshall 2017-12-07T02:16:07Z

I like the missile management system you made. I bet if someone worked really hard they'd get maybe even 10 million as a score!

LD42 — Running out of space

Void by LatchGameDev 2018-08-16T17:54:19Z

@edmanbosch yeah we should have made it more clear what areas were safe and which weren't. We ran out of time. The black tiles seemed a little jarring to me too. But I wasn't sure how to change it. I think Latch (one of my teammates) liked it though, so I didn't push very hard to change it. Thanks for playing and the critiques!

@bloodjohn thanks dude!

@aevek we actually had plans to add the ability to slow/stop/reverse the blackhole. We had plans for a bunch of stuff! But we couldn't get to them in time. Maybe next time we can work faster.

@shiracha yeah you go... oh no! You were very close to tie-ing with (as far as I know) the highest score for the game!

@benbonk a few bugs? What bugs did you come across?

oh hey thanks @chandymande ! Glad you enjoyed it! The goal was to collect as many crystals as you can and escape in your ship.

@webthingee oh yeah, hahaha! We should have added some way to show there were blackholes closing in on you.

Thanks again everyone for playing! It really means a lot!

Gassy Dancer [LD42] by PenguinPotential 2018-08-16T05:17:59Z

I have acquired mastery beyond mastery! Skill beyond skill! I dance the dance of the gods!

And on an unrelated note I found a bug in the game.

Gassy Dancer [LD42] by PenguinPotential 2018-08-16T05:26:36Z

So it's a bit tough to say exactly what is causing it, but spamming the space bar at some point can trigger an effect that makes you always hit the mark. And you also don't need to hit F V N or J. There's a way to set that with the fart buttons to so you just hit the space bar for perfect hits, and max bottom bar. Bit tough to do though.

Outside of the bug I thought the game was a silly design and fun to play! His dance poses are my favorite part!

LD45 — Start with nothing

TidePool by Rebecca Harrison 2019-10-09T04:02:43Z

Hey thanks everyone for the feedback and for playing the game!

@benpeterson Thanks man! @rebecca-harrison made most of the environment and prop stuff. She did an awesome job!

@jaydubbyasee I worked hard on the character design so I'm glad you liked it :D . Yeah the camera was a bit of a struggle. We were trying something new to fit with the game's design but I guess it didn't work. Thanks for the suggestions too!

@philomory I'm glad you like the look of the game! Though I'm sorry to hear you had a hard time accomplishing stuff in it.

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

ESC by kittyinthestudio 2018-04-26T03:24:49Z

your game is super interesting but I'm lost. Couldn't figure out much. I did find an axe though! But god dang that jumpscare!

Crazy Cube by YANIV 2018-04-26T00:40:10Z

dude this is a really interesting concept! I think you did a great job coming up with such an interesting design!

Super Dashball by SecretPocketCat 2018-04-26T22:43:54Z

Super Dashball by SecretPocketCat 2018-04-26T22:44:11Z

The game is also super fun!

PORTABOY by Lumpy 2018-04-25T00:15:42Z

Wow this is really cool! I like the surprise that comes up as you keep playing it. Well executed for sure!

Stirfry's Rhythm Rave by joltjab 2018-04-26T00:03:36Z

@TSK thanks dude I'm super proud of the music!

Stirfry's Rhythm Rave by joltjab 2018-04-26T00:05:29Z

@radow you're right. I made it a bit too rough. Got a little blind to the difficulty. I'm gonna keep that in mind for the next one. Thanks for your comments!

Stirfry's Rhythm Rave by joltjab 2018-04-26T00:09:46Z

@Arun Donti no man I appreciate nit picks like that! It's the little thing you gotta get right. Yeah the rhythm broke right at the end. Thought I fixed it in time, but I guess I was still a little off. I'll be sure to keep stuff like that in mind for next time.

Stirfry's Rhythm Rave by joltjab 2018-04-26T00:09:48Z

@markopolodev Yeah I think I may have had the rhythm off. Thought I had it right, but I can see I need to work on it. So it probably was the game and not you!

As for the artifacts. It's because I needed to set up my tiles a certain way. It's never really been a problem in the past so I haven't done it. But I ran out of time and couldn't fix it. New games I make from now on won't do that. Thanks for pointing it out. It is something I should have fixed.

Stirfry's Rhythm Rave by joltjab 2018-04-26T01:05:20Z

@Gamekrazzy thanks dude! Yeah I worked myself sick (probably should have slept more) doing my best on it. But I do agree that the controls certainly need fixing up. A bit of polish, maybe this could be a fun little game.

Stirfry's Rhythm Rave by joltjab 2018-04-26T02:34:26Z

@kittyinthestudio thanks man! Currently heading over to try out your game! Glad to hear you liked what I made!

Stirfry's Rhythm Rave by joltjab 2018-04-30T02:20:33Z

@goat-toaster-games, @gamesplusjames, @bluemirror, @aumbra, @balance686, @lots-dutchman-software, @automatonvx Thanks guys for your feedback! Yeah I can see I had a problem with the rhythm (the heart was suppose to line up with the beat) and will make sure if I do a rhythm game again in the future, the rhythm will line up better. Goofed a bit on that one, but will work hard on the next one! Thanks for the feedback!

@notpresident you gave a really good critique there! Yeah I agree the song didn’t seem to fit with a rhythm game. Once I get a little more music experience I should be better in future rhythm game. Also I don’t know what AO means in this context. I know AO as “Ambient Occlusion”, which the game does have. Thanks again dude, I agree fully on all your points and will strive for better results on the next game.

@cg-fred The tiling bug was an unfortunate problem I couldn’t fix in time. Sorry about that dude.

@kami-86 thanks dude! I was thinking the same thing. Interesting idea that if pushed a little more could be kind of cool! It’s almost there. Will keep in mind for next time.

@alex13 thanks dude! And I’ll be sure to give your game a try/rate!

@iak yeah your game was fun! I enjoyed going around trying to “escape the game” and finding a bunch of hidden things. Don’t know if I found them all, but it was neat! And thanks for playing my game!

Honest Dan's Trout by Honest Dan 2018-04-26T00:02:43Z

Hey man, you seemed pretty upset about your game when you were finishing it up, but I honestly think it's pretty good! The only problem I got with it is the leaderboards don't seem to be working for me. Other than that it is awesome!

Honest Dan's Trout by Honest Dan 2018-04-26T03:28:55Z

@Honest Dan ah I see. Missed that part. Thanks for explaining!

Harvest: The Farming - Red Owl Games by Rocktavious 2018-04-26T02:59:50Z

Took me a minute to get it, but I got it! I started loosing track of time. Watching something go from "this is costing me money to do this" to "I'm making a profit!" is honestly a really good feeling. I just wish I could tell if there was an ending.

Harvest: The Farming - Red Owl Games by Rocktavious 2018-04-26T03:30:44Z

@Rocktavious ah ok, then it looks like I won! Good job on the game man!

Ghost&Balls by kamtar 2018-04-26T01:03:24Z

And with that, I am now the king of ghosts and balls! It was fun messing around with. Interesting idea of shooting the balls with a movable character. You can just barely jump up over 2 balls, but I think either make it so you can obviously can or can't jump 2 balls in height. That would help I believe. Thanks for making this, I enjoyed it!

Match Attack! by LatchGameDev 2018-04-24T02:56:54Z

I think you really hit the theme here. A match 3 with a 3rd person shooting elements? That's creative! The enemies are a little tough to predict, but overall I had fun playing!

Match Attack! by LatchGameDev 2018-04-26T03:26:54Z

@LatchGameDev sure thing dude!

Super Slime Slasher Ultra by sebastianscaini 2018-04-26T03:34:19Z

oh god, this game broke my heart a little. The slimes are too cute I didn't wannna kill em ;^;

The King of The Hill by Alex13 2018-04-30T02:41:16Z

I didn't fully understand what was happening at first. But as I kept playing I started to understand. It was a little tough for me as I never got to first place, (even on easy mode!) but maybe I just gotta play a little more to get better. Overall the silliness of the game was rather interesting and fun to play with. Good job dude!
