LD49 — Unstable

Waiter, please! by Yamzho 2021-10-06T17:02:01Z

Wow, great artwork, gameplay is really fun too! I can't belive it, we had the same idea : ) Check out my waiting game @yamzho

Store Oasis by freso 2021-10-07T21:25:05Z

Really fun game for how short it was, I really enjoyed avoiding the robots and the mood was great. Fantastic work : )

CalmR - Rock Skipping Mindfulness by Eli Delventhal 2021-10-07T21:14:30Z

This is absolutely terrifying, I'm just on edge after playing that, I feel like I've downloaded a piece of haunted software. I'm deeply unsettled and found it hard to skip the rocks. Good stuff.

The Score by ToxicComputer 2021-10-06T16:35:38Z

Really fun game : ) Artwork is great and I love the police and the stealing mechanic from the bank. The cutscene at the start is very nice and I love that the police are on segways. I had to try 5 or so times, it was hard to tell where to go, the music changed to the happy music but I couldn't tell what I was supposed to do.

The Score by ToxicComputer 2021-10-06T16:55:20Z

@toxiccomputer After the action music, once you've killed all the police. I wasn't sure if I'd won, I'd got all the money and killed all the police, but wasn't sure what to do next

Schizophrenia by Mergorti 2021-10-06T16:14:48Z

Really liked the art and the world was nice and big, avoiding the red blocks seemed quite easy. I couldn't find the chicken at the end, I'm not sure if the map lines up with the level layout. Would have been nice to see more enemies build up as you get closer to the goal and a minimap with a dot. I didn't see any hallucinations, unless the red blocks are the hallucinations

Bearly Stable by Nobleboy 2021-10-04T22:01:17Z

This is great, love the way the elephant moves on the ball! Great music too : )

HOLD IT by Cloistered 2021-10-06T16:54:31Z

Really fun game, I coulnd't finish the last level though : ( Great difficulty and good controls, would love to hear some sound. Also good job on the theme, haven't seen one like this

Natura Disastia by Dedjo0 2021-10-07T20:55:23Z

Fantasic, really great : )

Kevin Is Unstable by Uraffululz 2021-10-05T09:17:47Z

Fun little game, managed to complete on first try. I was a little confused how to make Kevin watch the TV, Feeding him cake and giving him ball seemed to do the trick of keeping him occupied.

A little bug, if you rotate camera more than 720 degrees you can't go any further, not sure if this is a webGL thing or not.

Could improve with some audio and some strats on how to appease kevin. Love the art and theme.

LabileLoL by Wouter52 2021-10-06T16:22:11Z

Really cool projection from inside the head, it looks so cool. The resteraunt scene is nice, would be good to see it bigger on the screen. It's a really nice demo : )

AngryRabbits by OldDog 2021-10-03T17:43:39Z

Great idea on the WebGL, you'll hopefully get some more plays from it : )

Hot Potato by Bobi505 2021-10-06T17:11:54Z

Bravo, really good on the theme, graphics, music! It's really fun and could see it be a good multiplayer game, was a little annoying to use the mouse for clicking and moving back and forth, I would have prefered a spacebar, but maybe it's part of the game to move back and forth.

Could only improve with a few more minigames, like clicking the right colour, typing number sequence. Great job

Can't Wait by Jonathan Alderson 2021-10-04T21:34:39Z

Thanks for letting us know, we will fix : )

Can't Wait by Jonathan Alderson 2021-10-04T21:41:44Z

Fixed

Can't Wait by Jonathan Alderson 2021-10-05T20:28:48Z

Controls were a difficult one to balance. They aren't delayed, but do feel so because of the accelerating and decelerating, if this weren't the case then the game would be very easy. Given more time, some maths magic could be done to be both difficult and responsive

Can't Wait by Jonathan Alderson 2021-10-06T09:17:31Z

@Stalemeat thanks very much! You get some funny results when you drop your plates, we tried our best to make the other waiters skill based so you could route around them, cheers for playing

Can't Wait by Jonathan Alderson 2021-10-07T07:35:22Z

@quite-good Thanks so much, we wanted to add different game modes (3 lifes only, maximum destruction), and a kill plane when you fall off the level, but we had a last minute bug that cost us a precious hour. We put a extra time into the sfx instead of the game modes since it's only a jam.

Can't Wait by Jonathan Alderson 2021-10-07T21:15:54Z

@jaybaus thanks for the feedback jay : )

Can't Wait by Jonathan Alderson 2021-10-08T12:51:36Z

@v174m1n Hi Vitamin, sorry about that. If you go too fast then the waiter will fall over. You've got to move quite slowly at first until you get used to the movement, hope you're able to play now : )

Can't Wait by Jonathan Alderson 2021-10-10T08:43:02Z

@zachsbutt I spent some time trying to find/make gameplay music but couldn't find anything that improved upon nothing, tried some jazz/lounge music but it didn't sound right for each stage. Thanks for feedback

@juutis Thanks for review : ) Shame it's framerate dependent, I thought everything was with deltaTime, there must be a couple things that aren't, thanks for finding a solution though

Can't Wait by Jonathan Alderson 2021-10-11T19:10:03Z

@margottlsdgt thanks so much for playing

Turrim by Proxy-Games 2021-10-06T16:46:24Z

Cute game, love the sound and aesthetic. It's a bit annoying when the blocks that look like they fit together ping off eachother. Very nice though, I'd like to know what a good score is

LD52 — Harvest

Sanity Farmer by deadgoodnik 2023-01-22T21:40:09Z

Agree with the art comments. Hilarious.

Metallic Yield by Daniel Alhadeff 2023-01-11T20:47:11Z

Probably like the best game ever

dungeon soul harvest by Rs11s21n 2023-01-22T20:56:01Z

Very charming graphics and fantastic tile laying system. Procuedural gerenration added a lot to the experience. Unfortunately unable to do except from place/destroy tiles and press 'r' to restart.

Overroasted by Dock Frankenstein 2023-01-22T21:59:44Z

Really nice art style, shame about no sound. Lovely controls and movement. Could do with a little more gameplay to make it interesting.

Attack of the Mutant Veggies by PizzArt64 2023-01-10T22:01:17Z

Agree with Minos_L2b, but still enjoyed playing and getting better at the game. Thoroughly enjoyed music and theme. Gameplay was fun, but would like another movement option or different weapon.

I never got to the point of earning more money.

Comet Cowboy by Jonathan Alderson 2023-01-11T10:01:56Z

It seems to be a common thread with game jam games. After playing it for 3 days straight, it's hard to see what users will find hard to understand. Thanks for the comments.

Crazy Harvest by joker15277 2023-01-22T21:17:08Z

Fun little game, after the first attempt, I was unable to play infinitely, would have been nice to improve difficult over time, or have emeny move in a more believable direction

When The Wheat Grows by Better Half 2023-01-22T21:08:23Z

Lovely game, really enoyoed theming and writing. Character art was great as well as the interactions!
