LD43 — Sacrifices must be made (8)

Dog Dog Dungeon by bubblewandgames 2018-12-04T13:55:39Z ♥ 1

Nice game all around, the visuals, sounds, music and level design are all pretty good. I got stuck on the last level though, I threw the dog at the door and it landed on the edge of the platform as my character fell into the pit, but the level did not restart nor did it seem to register that the dog had been saved.

JOURNEY by Syrapt0r 2018-12-04T13:26:45Z ♥ 2

Great entry! The visuals are simple but still aesthetically pleasing. The sound and the music go well nicely with it. The game itself is quite challenging and pretty fun. I also really liked how you decided to sacrifice game mechanics to fit the theme, it worked well and so you get bonus points for originality.

Evil Cult Managment System v1.0 by Kszaku 2018-12-04T12:53:29Z ♥ 1

Wow, this one is really creepy! It fits the theme very nicely, altough I found the interface and the game itself a bit confusing, still not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do keep the evil gods happy. Good job on making it creepy with the pop-ups, audio and even the exit confirmation when you close the tab, that was a nice touch.

Gossip by MattWagar 2018-12-04T12:31:55Z ♥ 0

This is an interesting concept. I do like the sort of comic style you went with on the buttons and dialogue bubbles. And nice use of the lighting to highlight the characters, it really makes them stand out.

The game seems to get stuck and show some errors if you click on a character before it asks you to. So you should probably check that out if you still plan on developing it further.

The Lamb by f4kethis 2018-12-03T20:34:00Z ♥ 0

Found a bug where your character can get stuck at the start: thelamb_bug.gif

It happens if you jump as soon as the game starts, I think.

Other than that, the game is fun, has a nice atmosphere and graphics. I do wish the enemies didn't just appear so suddenly, it's hard to avoid them sometimes.

The Temple of Falala by JCMonkey 2018-12-03T20:01:06Z ♥ 1

Good game, but there a few issues that have already been pointed out which are a bit annoying, like the hitboxes, not being able to tell where you are on the map, the apparently invisible traps (there's one on corridor to the right of the altar at the start).

Overall, I liked the atmosphere, the art, the music, which is simple but effective in setting the mood of the game. The combat can get kind of tedious quickly, as you always see the same type of enemy just with more hitpoints.

And another thing, the console keeps spitting this error:

ERROR: Node not found: enemytotem At: scene/main/node.cpp:1524

I don't know how it affects the game though.

Floofs by kaeveris 2018-12-03T19:07:53Z ♥ 2

Nice work. The floofs do look nice. One thing that stood out for me though, is that the faster the platform moves, the harder it is to shoot at them, since the bullets don't go where you're aiming. Is that intentional or a bug?

Leave Them Behind by RedE 2018-12-03T18:44:01Z ♥ 0

Nice work! The game is fun and a lot more challenging than I first thought, I made it to level 7 but couldn't get past that.

I noticed that the little triangle that shows which character you are controlling is rendering behind the characters themselves and the objects on the scene, which sometimes makes it difficult to see which character you have selected when they are all hanging.

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres (18)

TnT: Tracks 'n Towers by TheCze 2018-05-09T03:52:32Z ♥ 2

That was fun, nice work! The car controls are a little strange at first, but they are also easy to get used to. The graphics and the sounds and music are all very nice, but I feel that it could have used some more sound effects, such as when you place towers, when they fire, when you have enough money to place them, when you crash into a wall, etc.

I only played the web version, so I'm not sure if the same thing happens with the other versions, but the game got really laggy in the last wave of the first level, which made it very difficult to control the car.

FLAPPYKARUGA by mrnyarlathotep 2018-05-03T20:08:13Z ♥ 1

Pretty interesting mix of genres. The game was fun, it's quite challenging to keep track of the bullets, enemies, and colors while also not crashing into the walls. Love the sounds, and the spaceship reminds me of a Star Trek Shuttlecraft which is pretty cool. I kind of wish it had a somewhat slower pace, but still very nice work overall!

FAST CRASH by tweedle 2018-05-03T19:57:51Z ♥ 2

Fantastic entry! It's evident that a great amount of effort went into this, and it definitely shows. I love the outrun/retro art style, and the music, the sounds, the actual gameplay, everything feels just right, just pure bliss.

Really the only thing that bugged me a little bit was that the questions seemed too focused on things like obscure laws of American cities and states, which makes it a little hard for us non-American folks : )

But overall, I still had a lot of fun. Really outstanding work, you guys rock!

HorrorGotchi by Spiffy 2018-05-03T19:23:41Z ♥ 0

Haha nice one, I liked it! Could have used some music to complement it, but other than that, it's a pretty neat little game with some very nice art and some creepy whispers to set the mood. I did run into a minor bug when I accidentally dragged the meat off the screen, and couldn't get it back, but restarting the game fixed it.

Gorkball Champions by T8kk 2018-04-29T14:10:00Z ♥ 1

These graphics look amazing. Really impressive to pull this in just a couple of days! The game looks pretty fun too, I would love to play if it had a Windows or a Web version. Please let me know if you port it!

Meta Defense by ragnta 2018-04-29T14:04:06Z ♥ 0

Seems like a nice tower defense game, but it feels a little too confusing. Even after playing a couple of times I still don't really know what I'm supposed to be doing. A tutorial level would have gone a long way to help players grasp the basic concepts. Altough a bit crude, the art is still charming in its own way. Still, I had fun playing it, so nice work!

Rhybot, Escape! by taviandir 2018-04-29T13:46:34Z ♥ 0

Really cool idea, as others have said before, this game begs for some music. I would also like to be able to predict the movement of the enemies somehow, it feels a little too random right now. Graphics are simple but nice and consistent. Beats could be faster too, but still, nice work overall!

CardRacer by Smooth 2018-04-29T13:22:15Z ♥ 0

It's certainly an interesting idea, and the graphics are nice, but it would be really nice to be able to somehow influence the outcome of the card draw. As it stands it's a bit too random and I feel like I don't have any sort of control over the game. Congrats on getting it done, though!

Ready, Deck, Go! by Cheesey Bob 2018-04-27T20:06:49Z ♥ 1

Good take on the theme. I was a little confused at first, but I had fun once I started figuring out how it works. It would be nice if there was a way to see your opponent racing alongside you, and also some background music go to set the mood. But still a pretty nice game overall, even though it might need some polishing here and there.

Just Like The Day We Met by Zinkler 2018-04-27T19:22:12Z ♥ 1

Wow, this is now one of my favorites so far! The graphics are pretty, the music is very nice too and matches the general "feeling" of the game well, I think, though it could use some sound effects to complement it. I also absolutely love the FTL style of moral decision-making that somewhat compels you to do the "right thing" even though you know it might have a negative impact on your performance in the game. Really impressive work, congratulations!

Two things I want to point out that I think would make the game even better, in case you feel like continuing to develop the game post-LD, are:

1: Hide the comm screen when there's no active communication going on, to make a little bit more room for the camera.

2: RTS-like unit selection, where you can select units by drawing a rectangle with your mouse, kind of like how you select files in Windows or Mac, etc. It just feels more natural and easier to use.

TD Racing by AllesKapaul 2018-04-27T18:43:16Z ♥ 1

I really like your idea of a tower defense/racing mix and I think you executed it pretty well, with the exception of the car controls. They feel quite a bit sluggish, making it hard to drive while also avoiding the projectiles from the towers, so if you plan on further developing the game, I think that would be a good place to start. Overall though, I had fun and I liked that there are different types of cars with their own unique playstyles. Nice work!

Space Maths by mikedirl 2018-04-27T18:25:57Z ♥ 0

Nice game! It's a really interesting idea. I like the music and the sound and visual effects as well. Maybe the sprites could use a little polishing but it's still very enjoyable in its current state.

Legion Academy (LD41) by LegionGames 2018-04-24T19:57:13Z ♥ 1

Pretty fun little game! It's kind of hard to hit enemies from afar, but it seems a lot safer than being up close. As others have said, it would be nice to have some music in the background and also hotkeys to speed things up a little and reduce number of clicks required each turn. But overall, nice work, I enjoyed it!

I bet that your CATS look good in the dance floor by agar3s 2018-04-24T19:17:07Z ♥ 1

Takes some time to get used to the rules, and it could certainly use some music other than the beat, but other than that, it's quite fun and the graphics are nice. I also think that it might be nice to have a time limit every turn, maybe as a separate mode.

Cat Pack by Potondo 2018-04-24T18:45:09Z ♥ 1

A little challenging but still fun. Nice work! As others have said, would be great to have a separate key for each action (maybe right click to move and left click to shoot?) to make ordering your cats around easier.

Nubes Pila by IDidGame 2018-04-24T18:31:43Z ♥ 1

Very cool concept. I really liked the little animations and effects, the sound and graphics are also pretty good. Took me a few minutes to learn how to properly charge the ball, but it's easy once you get the hang of it. Definitely had fun playing this, and I feel it could benefit from a survival mode, if you continue developing it.

Retrograde by corc0 2018-04-24T18:01:09Z ♥ 1

Very nice, the sound and visuals blend together nicely to set up the atmosphere, and I also really liked the unique concept. A little hard to jump onto the smaller platforms, but maybe I'm just bad. Really nice work overall!

Apocalypse Tycoon by javicepa 2018-04-23T15:51:51Z ♥ 2

Loved it. The visual, the sounds, the music, the gameplay, and everything. Really nice work!

I do wish you could have a bit more control over your followers, such as a "passive" mode where they just follow you around instead of trying to heroically shoot down a horde of zombies with a pistol only to be cut down in seconds.

LD39 — Running out of Power (3)

Tycoon by dob 2017-07-31T21:44:06Z ♥ 1

I like it, but I also ran into the bug that prevents the enemy from losing if they have enough skulls. I also feel that there should be a way to speed things up once you run out of power, since there's not much else to do it seems. I also really liked art/mood it has.

Will Power by William Derksen 2017-07-31T21:17:35Z ♥ 1

Surprisingly hard at the beginning, but gets easier as you keep playing. Took me quite a few tries but I managed to get to the end! Overall a fun and engaging game, and I would not mind if it were a bit longer or had more levels!

Quoala by Goloso Games 2017-07-31T21:06:12Z ♥ 1

Pretty good. As others have said, it would be nice to have some way to speed up the dialogue . Also, I feel that it could have used some text-to-speech to simulate the directions from the GPS, but I overall I liked it. Good Job.
