I bounced off of this a little, I found I couldn't quite tell when I was clicking things or stamping things. It's also a little unclear what is going to happen when I interact. That said... I love the style of it, how it looks, and the feeling it has. It feels like a fantastic starting point that just needs a little bit of polish to make it more approachable.
Really strong classic GTA vibes from the look and feel! I really enjoyed the mechanics of the car once I got used to it, and the sounds were ace. I think the only things it could do with would be some more risk/pressure (maybe a time limit? Punishment for pizza going cold?), and I'd maybe have made it clearer the destinction between a pickup item and a delivery item.
The core mechanics are great though and this is a great skeleton you could build a whole game around!
This is genuinely brilliant, especially for a solo effort! The graphics are gorgeous, the game plays really well, it has a nice feeling of skill and learning to it! About the only thing I could think to try would to be give more indication of how powerful the shot is going to be (ie. a parabola), but I think that'd ultimately go against the feel of the game.
Fantastic!
Love the little references to the jam life, especially the hearts. I found the drone a little hard to control - I seemed to sometimes be able to hold arrows down to quickly duck down alleys, and sometimes it wouldn't work. I also think the elements were a little too small for my taste. That said, it looks really nice, it played well, and I liked the upgrade system - the UI especially looked great!
Always love mechanics that play with gravity, this was a lot of fun to play with! I might have spaced the planets out a little more and made it more around slingshotting around, but the core mechanic is great!
Really love that intro tutorial level! The whole game and mechanics are quite neat, the music was nice, and it looks great too!
Really strong papers please vibes! I liked it, the art style was especially strong!
Absolutely gorgeous to look at, a genuine treat. Sometines a bit hard to tell where hitboxes/colliders are, but other than that, a fun little game!
Really nice work! The styling and visuals are very on point, and it was really quick to get to grips with. I do think some more indication on how to avoid the immune system would help though.
Looks amazing, sounds amazing, really nailed the theme as well, well done! I found the gameplay a little repetitive, but the car/fps switch was a really nice touch.
Looks really, really good as other commenters have said!
I actually really, really enjoyed this. The way the car handles feels a little janky at first, but what I like is that the game incentivises learning the street names, as well as getting used to the feel of the car, encouraging you to keep your foot down and get used to navigating the streets. The style is excellent, and it really hits getting into that flow state. Well done!
Only niggle is that I think left/right are going the wrong way when reversing - but I also don't want to reverse because it's slower, so it really is just a niggle.
Well done! It was cute, and I enjoyed the artwork and the style. I'd say the stealth mechanics weren't quite as tight as I'd like from a game like this - if it was longer, I think I'd have gotten frustrated.
Love the humour and the theme. Not sure I could progress past 15-20 cups of coffee, but that initial hard ramp of diffculty mixed with the humour was super on point!
Quite like this, well done! The mechanic reminds me of an older game I love called Hammerfight - worth checking out!
I couldn't find the catnip, but I did find the cute easter egg about dumpster diving! Well done for finishing!
Also got a 404
Love the style, and love the puzzle involved. It feels really tightly made, and well focused. I can see where there would be room to really take this concept further. I think if there is a change I'd make, it'd be to make it clearer what is actually changing when a player goes up/down the gears, as while I can read the rules/numbers, there isn't much visual feedback on the difference it makes.
LD54 — Limited Space (21)
Cosmic Caster by Whysper 2023-10-09T14:34:35Z ♥ 1
Really cool idea for a game, and a very different take on the classic space shooter! The drawing of the spells was a listtle confusing as I was initially trying to make the shapes, rather than the letters - but I got there in the end! The sound and visuals were really neat.
MemGuard Tower Defence by Zaphire 2023-10-09T14:21:13Z ♥ 0
I found that because it took quite a while to get enough resources to power more than one turret, I was really struggling with keeping my base from being hit, which then compounded the problem. I also felt like the turrets missed more than they hit!
The visuals and audio were great though, and it feels like with a bit more tuning of the mechanics this would be a really solid little tower defense game with a fun gimmick!
Dozer Dash by IDidGame 2023-10-07T09:07:21Z ♥ 1
Very cute little game, I really enjoyed the audio. I found the hitboxes between the dozer and the boxes a little frustrating - I struggled to get higher than mid-80's (I think my top was 86). But well placed and fits the theme well!
Limited Space Rescue by SharpLoaded 2023-10-07T09:01:31Z ♥ 2
The audio, mood and styling were great, and I've always loved freefall/space movement mechanics, I really enjoyed this! It was a bit unclear why people were dying, and I think a little more could have been done within the theme (I'd assume you were thinking of a rescue ship with limited space at some point?), but this was really slick and well done!
Kill Circles by Rehdev 2023-10-06T22:52:19Z ♥ 1
Really, really slick little game. I got to 1667 kills, at which point I was basically just a little catherine wheel spewing bullets!
There was this really nice point around half way through where it was just frantic enough you couldn't just shoot the next thing, but also your bullets didn't instapop bubbles - it felt like I had to pay attention to where bubbles were going to spawn and make sure I kept that area clear. I reckon if you were to dig into that feeling, you could make something really special with this.
And the sounds were deeply satisfying
Limited Survival by LudumDareDevil 2023-10-06T22:46:31Z ♥ 1
Really really nice gameplay loop, and runs beautifully - I feel like I could have done with a better indicator of how much damage I was taking from enemies but I quite liked the minimal style, and the sound effects fit really well.
TOBISHA by aerial 2023-10-06T19:41:20Z ♥ 1
Really nice effects and definitely really nice audio - gave me a very exopunks vibe! I kind of wish there was more to do with the money that you earn, but given this is a compo entry it's still impressive!
textures_failed_to_load by Yorsh 2023-10-06T19:27:50Z ♥ 1
Brilliant little game and an absolutely fab take on the theme. Felt challenging without being unfair and the whole thing was nicely cute. The one-hit kill could be a little brutal at points and I think if it were a bigger game it could get annoying, but at the same time it also felt like a good fit to the theme, so I really feel like I'm reaching for a criticism!
Rush Hour by benskca 2023-10-04T20:34:54Z ♥ 1
I loved this. Really on point with the theme, it looked great, played really well, and felt really nice, and just a nice bit of humour!
The only feedback I can think to give is it was a little too easy - I think a few more "pinch" points and extra people/the ability to be misled by the crowd would probably do a lot, but as a jam game I can absolutely see the potential of the theme!
CaveBots by quasilyte 2023-10-04T20:19:35Z ♥ 1
Really nice looking game, and it played pretty well! I found it a little hard to get my head around what I was doing at the start - it took me a little while to figure out I had to build a factory to then build the bots for example. But once I got the loop down, I found it quite simple to keep myself going!
Space Way by MrSamafu 2023-10-03T21:02:47Z ♥ 1
Loved the graphics and the soothing music for this. I did find myself starting to cheese it a little after the "a new thing" stage and realsing I could just go back/forth a lot in order to fill up the tiles, but it still felt pretty slick!
The Dude with a Wolf, a Goat and a Cabbage ~ A modern interpretation by CaptainDreamcast 2023-10-03T20:52:57Z ♥ 1
Massive props for the voiceover on all of this, made it really quite fun to just go through and hear the jokes!
Zombies In The Hall by recursor 2023-10-03T20:46:51Z ♥ 1
Really enjoyed this, I feel like that song is going to be in my head for a while! My only frustrations were that it felt like zombies got a little too "stuck" on the uncloging the pipe level, and honestly that it ended too soon! I'd be interested in seeing more levels that combined more of the mechanics together!
Tunnel Tiler by cogcomp 2023-10-03T20:40:17Z ♥ 0
Found it a bit hard to figure out what was going on to start with - I'd probably have gone for a cleaner visual style, but very evocative of that 90's screensaver aesthetic! Felt nice once I figured it out though, my main wish was for a "speedup" button to let me get ahead of competitors!
Limited Space Escape Rooms by AlbionBrown 2023-10-03T20:26:55Z ♥ 1
Really nice work for your first time with the engine - I found the controls a little clunky, but didn't seem to run into any game breaking bugs!
PSI by goddzeproject 2023-10-03T11:55:34Z ♥ 1
I'd agree with the above about movement being a little awkward, however the aesthetic was nice, and it felt like there was scope to make something quite fun from this
Space Ltd. by mortusnegati 2023-10-03T11:50:01Z ♥ 1
Loved this, really enjoyed it all the way through. I liked how the mechanics were introduced and there was a nice feeling of progression. It ended a little abruptly but also that final level was the trickiest by far! Looked real nice too!
Towersprawl by 5Mixer 2023-10-03T11:44:43Z ♥ 1
Really nice set of systems, the way everything just clicks together is highly satisfying and it doesn't take long to figure out what it's doing. I sort of agree with the above comment that the theme is missed slightly for me, beyond that it's hard to initially make sure you've got enough space - with more systems involved it could feel cramped quickly though. Looks really nice though!
Negative Space by Baturinsky 2023-10-03T08:11:56Z ♥ 2
Nicely abstract puzzler, I enjoyed the pieces that caused real problems by not having all squares filled. I agree it might be slightly too easy as I felt I didn't have to think "too" hard about how I stacked my items.
Crampy Kitchen by BisnessPirate 2023-10-03T08:06:44Z ♥ 1
I found it quite hard to drag ingredients around - I probably would have made the hitboxes a little more generous for moving stuff around (maybe even remove hitbox entirely while an object is "in hand"?) The art was cute though!
Trash Truck Hero by Nikolaj 2023-10-03T07:58:49Z ♥ 0
This was a really neat little concept! I definitely smashed into half the cars and was sending trashcans everywhere, so an accurate representation of my local waste services.
If I were to change anything I'd probably actually have made the roads a little bit more organic/twisty, but then that's more where the concept would go than where it is!
