LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

The Matter at Hand by Chaseplays 2018-04-23T18:43:55Z

As others have said, you should definitely make a full game out of this. The mechanics are reasonably challenging & the level designs are very smart. Also let me just point out that I loved the music: really simple but fits the game well. Frankly I haven't finished the game because I don't have the attention span to complete puzzle games in one go, but this is definitely one of the few LD games I'll be coming back to later on just to finish it. My only negative comment is that I don't really think the game fits LD's theme.

Bullet Break by JCMonkey 2018-04-23T16:48:08Z

Really great idea, shows that this LD's theme can make for good games. Seemed to be easy at first, but oh boy was I wrong. :D People have said this, but I think the game would be better with an indicator of how many more balls can be lost & still beat the level.

Deck Shooter by Jimbly 2018-05-02T02:26:54Z

A really well-made game. Was really impressed at how nicely the cards fit into the overall gameplay. Even though there's no direct control over the spaceship I didn't feel like it was detrimental​ to the experience at all, I felt sufficiently in control of what was going on. Great job!

RTHM by fashionbatman 2018-04-24T20:33:58Z

Wow, this game is really challenging. Is it possible to find love? :D Anyways, fun game. The music is great. I would have liked an option for difficulty though.

Our Hero - A intriguing look at the life of an old hero by stormburpee 2018-04-23T16:04:09Z

Just the amount of features implemented is really impressive! One thing I think the game would benefit from is some form of a dodge mechanic. I'm not sure how the game fits the theme, however.

Super Bigbo Commando by harusame 2018-04-23T16:25:22Z

Wow! Absolutely loved it! I feel like the scope and the challenge are just about perfect for a jam game. I also like how the platforming is the hard part & not the zombies. If you want to work on it more & make a complete game combat is what I would work on though.

RUN JUMP TYPE by ppNovAqq 2018-04-23T20:39:32Z

Fun game, but dying is really taxing because there are no checkpoints. :(

Power in Numbers by amras0000 2018-04-23T19:52:06Z

Thank you developer, now I know all of the numbers 0-100 that are divisible by 3. As a side effect I've developed an unnatural hatred towards the number 96 though. On a serious note, it's a really good game. By far the most addictive game I've played from this LD. Got stuck after destroying 16 offices until I performed a grid search of every freaking corner of the map. Considered playing the game on hard after but quickly noped out of that when I saw what numbers are allies & enemies. :D If you're going to work on it more, the main flaw I see in the game is the fact that waiting out the infamy stars is the most efficient strategy (it seems). Other than that, huge kudos for making this gem. :)

Tumblenaut by kelbg 2018-04-24T19:17:07Z

My personal winner of "so dumb it's great" & in the humor category. :D Was very surprised to realize that you can't just boost forward to win & you have to actually use the game's physics to your advantage to beat it; there's definitely a layer of depth to this game I didn't expect when I first saw it. Also I absolutely love the graphics. :)

Colony Sniper by ab200 2018-04-23T18:23:55Z

Fun game. The monsters really kept me on my toes. :) Also, the little "moo" when they appeared really helped, nice sound design! However, after a while the monsters stopped coming at all & the game got really laggy. I feel like a goal to work towards would be nice here.

Neon Space by SMILEY_4_ 2018-04-24T18:51:41Z

A very well-made game overall. Can't stress enough how much I love the graphics. :) I think the game should be a bit more difficult though.

Perplexive Perspective by quixatocs 2018-04-23T18:13:21Z

Really interesting & creative concept. However, starting with the riding shadows stage I stopped understanding what is going on. Also, I feel like the time skip mechanic needs to be explained in more detail in game, I got through half the game before I realized what it's used for. :D

TetrisBridgeBuilder by GettingRekt 2018-04-23T20:31:53Z

I'm actually preparing a game with a very similar basic idea for a Steam release, so seeing it done by someone else was hella interesting and insightful. That's why I might be a bit too positively biased towards rating this game. :D But regardless, I absolutely loved the graphics, the sound, and the humor of this. Also, it really does fit the theme, good job! :) Anyways. The problem I ran into in my game & that I'm seeing in this game is that after you've built everything you need to, the extra blocks become a bit of a nuisance, so a way to stop block spawning is very welcome. Also one thing to watch out for if you're going to work more on this is that the Tetris Company sues the hell out of everyone who uses Tetris in their name.

Gnome Man's Land by Tim Ruswick 2018-04-25T16:39:19Z

Just love the whole grumpy old man with metal music in the background theme. :D

Move and Hide by Hizrok 2018-04-24T19:00:38Z

Fun little game, although I wish it was a bit longer. Enemy vision cones would go a long way too I think. Btw, love the hiding in bush graphic. :D

Road Rules by Sky 2018-04-23T17:16:35Z

I like how polished the game felt. Just driving was a very pleasant experience. A thing I think would be good is an indicator of how the house looks or where it is: I felt lost the first couple attempts. Also I don't know if anyone else experienced this but the sound was very staticky (that's a word now) for me. Btw, liked the LD41 player number plate and the police number plates. :) Nice touch.

Save the moon by Borys 2018-04-23T21:41:53Z

Damn this game was hard. :D Took me a while to figure out what is going on & at first I honestly thought it's impossible to beat. I think you combined the genres really well & I like how the meteors really keep you on your toes in regards with taking your time with the turns. You should definitely say that it's a turn-based game in the description because I thought I had to just run like hell from the enemies & more and more kept spawning and killing me. :D

Dangerous Fields by Gavin Camlin 2018-04-23T20:50:45Z

Let me just point out that this is probably the first game I've seen this LD that has an icon. :D

Endless shooter by theBOSS12 2018-04-23T17:40:27Z

Fun & challenging game. It was a bit too easy before I got to 2000 score but after that I think I broke my mouse trying to dodge and shoot all of the enemies. :D

TypeRunner by ShiMapleLeaf 2018-04-23T21:15:56Z

I've seen a couple of typing platformers so far but this one is definitely my favorite. The extra typing challenges at the exclamation marks is what really makes this an actual game rather than a "two incompatible genres" game. And I don't mean that the game doesn't fit LD's theme, I mean that you've actually combined the two genres & made them compatible. :)

Legion Academy (LD41) by LegionGames 2018-04-23T15:47:43Z

@JCMonkey yeah making the game rewarding skill-wise was a challenge I can't say I managed to overcome. :( Thank you for playing though!

Legion Academy (LD41) by LegionGames 2018-04-23T17:19:18Z

@Sky Thanks for the input! That's a really nice idea. I felt a bit tied down with the size of the pen by how well it looked when the character held it. I think I could have just increased its size gradually once it was flying.

Legion Academy (LD41) by LegionGames 2018-04-23T17:21:49Z

@theBOSS12 4 hours before the deadline I realized that there's other screen resolutions as well. :DDD I'll be wiser for it next time.

Legion Academy (LD41) by LegionGames 2018-04-23T17:28:24Z

@petro-shoferystov Thank you! A smoother transition between choosing attacks, moves & different turns is definitely something this game needed. I'll confess I probably would have gotten rid of half the buttons if I wasn't proud of how they looked. :D

Legion Academy (LD41) by LegionGames 2018-04-23T20:56:51Z

@GettingRekt Thank you! :) Yeah, I prioritized some things over hotkeys that I shouldn't have. After playing for a while it becomes a real drag to make 5 clicks every move. :/

@ccglp Damn, should have made the rules more clear or a tutorial would have helped, sorry. :( You can actually both move and attack in the same turn.

Legion Academy (LD41) by LegionGames 2018-04-24T18:11:09Z

@Chaseplays thank you for your input, that is a good idea.

Legion Academy (LD41) by LegionGames 2018-04-25T16:41:36Z

@NateTheGreat hahahaha :D Flat items on ground are where new enemies spawn. Just needed to show where enemies are going to spawn because you lose HP if you collide with them.

Legion Academy (LD41) by LegionGames 2018-04-25T16:46:09Z

@slashee-the-cow Yeah, they're the bullets. To be honest, no idea what could be causing u to not see them.

Legion Academy (LD41) by LegionGames 2018-04-26T15:46:09Z

@Lerc Hahahahah yeah I could only get to around 10 myself :D
