LD50 — Delay the inevitable (18)

DLAY's Buffet by BinaryPrinciple 2022-04-13T02:54:34Z ♥ 1

Great little short game. Accidentally skipped the victory screen, so I thought I might as well play a second time. Would've liked to see some more feedback when getting hit, but I suppose that might've just been one of those things that didn't quite make the cut due to time constraints.

A random note on how you could experiment with this. You could easily tweak some numbers to increase the speed of the game, add more sheep (but make them deal less damage). As long as the sound effects don't overlap too much, the added speed and chaos should be add a great deal of fun.

Gods of Divine Stuff: RAgnarΓΆk by Anaxie Studio 2022-04-09T20:34:57Z ♥ 1

Had a lot of fun with this one. The cute art and story was really good, which definitely helped make getting to each next level more fun.

As for suggestions on how I'd improve this game.. An easy one is more post-processing. Another is to just speed up the game by a lot, more monsters that are easier to kill, etc. Give a bit of time at the start and between waves to let the player put down their towers.

I ended up beating the entire game with just the second character and a lot of fire, because I thought they were cute. That's kind of a problem as well, in a way. There's so many options for different characters to put down, but I didn't really have a reason to use any. Maybe there's already a thing in the game for that, but sadly I didn't notice it.

The path itself felt pretty short, or in other words, the camera felt really zoomed in. That has me worried a little, because zooming out further would probably hurt the character sprites.

Either way, take all of this with a grain of salt. For a gamejam with such a tight schedule, this was a lovely game that felt pretty finished. ❀️

Turbo Toilet Tomfoolery! by RonanRory 2022-04-07T20:44:24Z ♥ 1

Fun little game. Shame you didn't have fun with this jam, although I do hope to see more someday! Might be fun to try to learn another engine perhaps? πŸ€”

Tip for next time, whenever you do something like this again. Downloading a game from Google Drive is a little sketchy. Consider setting up an Itch account πŸ˜…

Nighty Night, Nosferatu by Shawn Moore 2022-04-07T03:43:41Z ♥ 1

I so badly want to give critical feedback for this game, but I'm having trouble finding anything to stick my claws into and tear apart. With that much finished in this little time, it's clear you know what you're doing. Soo.. instead I'm just going to spitball ideas as if there had been more time. πŸ˜‰

The movement system felt pretty good, although jumping on single wide platforms was a bit tricky.

I'm curious if the timing on the sunlight death mechanic would still be intuitive without the UI above the character.

A more vampire-style tileset, maybe a white sun and some leaded glass? πŸ‘€

The weird dithering effect on the gif compression actually looks kinda cool. Honestly no clue how that could be reproduced, but I want to see more of that in games.

Oh yeah, what does the M key do?

WASDWASDWASDWASD by Beard or Die 2022-04-06T20:09:09Z ♥ 0

The game looks nice, but I don't really understand how to play. My guy was barely shooting and all I could do was just die repeatedly. I like the upgrading idea, but it would've been nice if the game started a little more.. action-packed.

Jacob Cassidy in: Case Crimson Midnight by parkuhrmd 2022-04-06T18:53:59Z ♥ 3

Really nice ambience! Would've liked a little more speed and maybe an auto-reload when the gun's empty. The arrow pointing at the objective felt a little strange; should've maybe been a toggle. Hiding the trees when you're behind them was a really nice touch. Had fun πŸ™‚

The Lars Mission by Honest Dan 2022-04-06T16:37:42Z ♥ 3

Graphics are actually crazy. Little overwhelming to get started with, but very fun. Amazing for a Ludum Dare entry

If you try hard enough, you can win. by Rxbbie 2022-04-06T15:00:41Z ♥ 1

Yooo lot of fun to see the game genre we worked on be done in all sorts of ways. Managed to get to 2:17 before dying. Game gets pretty brutal at that point. Kinda wished I could've kept my shotgun all the way through, because it felt much stronger, haha

Chtonic Arhipelago by GreenRadiation 2022-04-06T14:53:53Z ♥ 3

Great mood! Was kind of just trying to survive, taking everything back to my fire, but then realizing nothing comes back, so that run ended pretty sadly. Major kudos for the procedural generation!

Super Mowser Bros by Guilloteam 2022-04-06T14:40:31Z ♥ 1

Amazing visuals! Definitely not without some bugs, but that's to be expected with such a tight deadline. Kinda wish the music loop was a little longer as well.

It might have been nice to only let a player open up a single drag/drop UI, and to simply let clicking the tokens also add the monsters to those spots. Drag and drop always feels a little clunky to me.

Probably the funniest game I've played so far, though. Love the parody idea.

The Ultimate Martian Roulette by HaaYaargh 2022-04-06T14:33:24Z ♥ 4

Simply blown away by the presentation of this. Everything looks and sounds amazing!

I would've liked some slightly more meaningful options, though. Looks like each option was just completely random, and the one picked refreshed immediately, so it was never a question of whether to use one or not.

The Gallows by Burn Tree 2022-04-06T14:18:58Z ♥ 2

Oh man the Mood of this game was amazing. The art and music really came together well.

Did notice the console pop up with a null reference, and pressing a button for the drawing sometimes didn't work.

I'd also really recommend to tighten up the movement, because it feels a little floaty; On the Rigidbody2d, tweak the drag and speed a bit, and set the interpolation, if it wasn't already. Depending on the Input system, GetAxisRaw generally helps too.

Would love to see this game developed further!

Horde! by Fear Games 2022-04-06T14:08:43Z ♥ 3

I seemed to be having some slight performance hiccups halfway through the game. I can't exactly tell if you did this, but if not, I'd totally recommend you look into object pooling.

Would've loved to see the villain actually run away a little, or pose more of a challenge somehow. Otherwise, great bit of fun!

Carpe Diem by Pomo 2022-04-05T19:49:00Z ♥ 1

Really fun, couldn't help but keep playing and listening to the banger in the background. The intersecting platforms being able to knock you to the opposite side is pretty brutal, and sometimes I felt like I could slip past an obstacle, but then I couldn't. Ah well, probably played this game longer than any other entry so far!

Extremely Exteme Sports by kuviman 2022-04-05T18:32:39Z ♥ 2

Online multiplayer in a ludum dare game? Wow this is probably one of the most fun games I've played yet

My happy weedy farm by Marin0104 2022-04-05T14:51:19Z ♥ 1

Lovely relaxing experience this was. Found two bugs, which is that you can plant on the water, and that spamming interact made you unable to move afterwards. Either way, the game was super cute and very enjoyable

Brain Burgers by joni-jarvinen 2022-04-05T14:22:59Z ♥ 2

Really struggled with the lack of a tutorial on this one; A lot of controls and a lot of steps, sadly not as intuitive as I hoped. Even so, it was a fun experience. The theme, sound and art got a good chuckle out of me.

Train Crash by Falzock 2022-04-05T14:17:30Z ♥ 3

I really liked how well the game explained itself. You start with no resources and see a train coming, desperate to build a path, but can't. Then realize that's exactly what was meant to happen for you to get resources in the first place. Super innovative! Sadly I couldn't really figure out how to properly use the sideways beams, but managed to beat a couple levels anyway!

Feed Me Pizza! by yikescloud 2021-10-07T18:06:48Z ♥ 1

Controls felt a little awkward. Graphically a really nice game, but I couldn't ever get them fed more than just a sliver D:

Weasel Words by eldogg 2021-10-07T17:59:21Z ♥ 1

Wow, definitely the moodiest game I've played all ludum dare. Loved the graphics and strange creepy ambiance. The typing was a little too easy, but it was a great experience regardless

Deathrail by Hotowlgirls 2021-10-07T17:50:34Z ♥ 2

Fun entry. Controls were a little difficult to get used to. Would've also liked something with a little more contrast to really highlight when I need to switch rails.

Crazy Cauldron by Quite Good 2021-10-07T17:43:07Z ♥ 1

Incredible artwork. Played for a while, but eventually got a little bored so I gave up to see what the fail animation was like, and I wasn't disappointed :D

GROUDOU! by Chacawott 2021-10-06T19:23:00Z ♥ 1

Nice little game, although I noticed the bars still going down, despite almost flawlessly doing the minigames. The little 4 key memory game seemed properly balanced, but it would've been nice for the other minigames to have been a bit faster. Had fun :)

Turnip Boi and the Forest Lost in Time by Codeman1010 2021-10-06T19:16:43Z ♥ 2

Not much new to say other than what's already been said. 100 crystals or a reset to the start felt really punishing. I also would've really liked the ability to press jump a second time to fall slowly. Either way, fun little entry, glad you got the web version working :)

Toy Tactics by JoeShanahan 2021-10-06T19:11:18Z ♥ 1

Never thought 3d worms could be this fun. My only struggle was getting the jetpack to behave properly, which seemed really sensitive and wouldn't go in the direction I'm pressing

Delivery impossible by Nikolay Zapolnov 2021-10-05T20:45:34Z ♥ 4

Great looking game, although it could've really gone next-level with some post-processing. The game itself is pretty difficult, but it was fun nevertheless! I feel like less levels and more polished levels would've also really helped; the game's very long for a ludum dare entry

TECHNUCLEAR by TheGreenWorm 2021-10-05T20:09:07Z ♥ 2

I'm glad to finally have a good example of how to time a game with the beat :D Incredibly well polished game, great music too!

Drunk Hill by Jvdwijk 2021-10-05T20:01:01Z ♥ 2

Loved the effect with the camera. Short but sweet :)

Tipsy Toddlers by Wyatt 2021-10-05T19:51:19Z ♥ 0

Incredible visuals and I loved how the music picked up in intensity as the game did. Little tricky to click and drag the kids, but fun nevertheless!

Hack N' Shoot by Jake Summer 2021-10-05T19:47:45Z ♥ 1

It's a nice little game, but it felt a little unfair at times. The things I needed to shoot would spawn right next to me and killed me instantly. As a tip, I'd recommend making them all spawn at the edge of a circle around the character, spawn e.g. 1 more each round and make them progressively move inwards faster. It would've also been nice for the hitboxes on the enemies to be a little bigger. Either way, I liked the game's aesthetic.

Giruffled by Papaver 2021-10-05T19:40:53Z ♥ 1

Very interesting idea! It felt a bit too difficult, because I felt like I couldn't control the neck's swing very well, but there were a lot of cute details in there which I liked, such as the giraffe's face changing. I didn't end up using the mechanic to elongate or shrink the neck, because the controls felt a little awkward for it. Perhaps using WASD for movement and the arrow keys to control the neck could've helped me feel more in control.

Collapsing Cave by SamarthMP5002 2021-10-05T03:42:04Z ♥ 1

Cute little game. The tutorial felt really long to sit through, which was a little frustrating. Was pretty scary when the cave started rumbling!

Dank Brew of the High Mage by John Luke Lusty 2021-10-05T03:37:20Z ♥ 3

Pretty fun! The art looks awesome. Controls felt a bit awkward at the start, but it wasn't unfair or anything. Wasn't really sure if I was getting further or not with each attempt
