LD39 — Running out of Power

Saturnalia by graebor 2017-08-04T00:55:54Z

By FAR the most polished game I have played this jam. Top 10 for sure. I can't get over how much I love the mood of this. As far as I can tell the puzzles have no real substance besides random guessing, which makes it 10 times more impressive that I still want more of them just to keep going in that art design and relaxing music. Well done!

I am 100% sold on the art style! Give me more of those colored star night skies.

10/10, pressed down and was not disappointed

The Tertielemental Wizard by ectucker1 2017-08-02T02:51:58Z

Beautiful graphics! I enjoyed it a ton, even though I'm not convinced either fire or earth is worth using, as far as I can tell careful usage of the ice cones were the optimal strategy at all times. Would have loved some elemental weaknesses like the plants to fire (That may exist and just wasn't clearly telegraphed to me)

Super good entry all in all though! I felt bad killing the little lava foxes

DOHMIERE by Jesus Fermin Villar 2017-08-02T02:42:41Z

I felt like an idiot for not being able to beat it twice in a row, but I was determined to figure it out! Only now did I realize I kept getting stuck with the chair glitch. I kept the cactus safe until its time came this time :)

Overall wonderful atmosphere and experience!! Super good music and great use of the theme!

I know you're already well aware from the other comments, but this is definitely my favorite atmosphere of the jam so far!! Such simple sketching but to perfect effect! 5/5

Oh man, these comments are super encouraging :relaxed:

I definitely think control scheme and story mechanics are the biggest issues. Originally the health system was more complicated and depended on the green particles, but a lot of that got scrapped in the final hours. We left them in out of fear we'd taken away too much, but I can definitely understand the confusion.

Sound design is also a weak point, but I'm happy with where we ended up given the limited time! The ocean ambiance is my Keurig coffee maker and pretty much everything else is me or my dog. (I have about 3 minutes of me making various whale noises on my phone that didn't make the final cut :grin: )

@sarrixx , Ori is my single favorite game and I realized about halfway through the weekend how much of the aesthetic had drifted that direction. That means the world to me :blush:

The Visible City by Colestia 2017-08-02T03:15:56Z

Definitely could use a bit more balancing if there were more dev time (I'd love the ability to add police units or upgrade the street lights), but both of those are only issues because I loved this theme so much I want the game to last longer. I think this is my favorite take on the theme so far, and you set the tone PERFECTLY for it!

I feel so bad for that poor gendarme :joy:
