LD44 — Your life is currency

Assault on Crown Archipelago by aurel 2019-05-07T11:10:10Z

This is an amazing game! For the time given your team has done an incredible job to make a fun and grabbing experience! I had a blast playing this, thank you!

Rocket Slaver by M2tias 2019-05-20T13:51:25Z

Interesting game! I ran into some minor bugs like getting additional ammo/shields after looting a ship but thats easily fixable. I especially liked the HUD, really creative! I think the combat could use some work as its a bit tedious at the moment.

Nothing more i could say really, great job!

Pay With Your Blood by bradur 2019-05-07T11:24:57Z

Fits the theme as proper and makes for a decent, yet sometimes a buggy top down shooter which i like for the fact that gives options of what i can use each level!

Great job!

STR!PES by Geckoo1337 2019-04-29T14:41:27Z

Since the game is the same everytime i think it really gives that geometry dash vibe where one can get better with each attempt. |Not me though, I am just not good at it! Awesome game!

Fishtastic - The Adventures of Kailax by limered 2019-05-06T12:25:34Z

WOW that was amazing! I liked the visual effects, the movement is smooth, the item effects are cool and everything is just well done and polished!

I would have just liked a description of what certain items did and also a found that you could rather easily beat levels if you swam higher, bounced from a fish offscreen and then skip all obstacles.

Just some minor things and again, great job!

SHELTER by OccultOne 2019-05-07T11:40:26Z

Error.png

Seems like i can't run the game for some reason, sorry :/

SHELTER by OccultOne 2019-05-07T18:04:54Z

@atmospherium The folder i put the game in does not have a long path, its basically GameJam games/Shelter, so its not that, atleast in my case.

Heart Rush by gurkan96 2019-04-29T11:15:42Z

A rather dynamic game! I like the idea of having to buy boosts for your environment as you play! However i'd recommend you make it so that spikes can't spawn directly on the player as that happened a couple of times and also the game crashed quite a lot for some reason. For the attempts that did not crash though, i think you have made a solid game!

Rising Pyramid by BoltKey 2019-04-29T13:21:25Z

A challenging game! Even after reading the instructions it took me a couple minutes to process the mechanics but once i did, the game became fun! Maybe adding some better art and adding sound effects can really benefit your game but as it stands, its still a very solid entry! Great job!

Labyrinth of Souls by jharler 2019-05-01T13:25:04Z

A rather exciting experience! I finished it on Normal and i must say that it felt a bit too easy. The "RUN" text and the fast music really gets you and i think as a whole you have done an amazing job with this game. The graphics, audio. everything. Perphaps a jumpscare would have been great but i assume you just did not have time.

THE SAVER by Gao Ming 2019-04-30T12:05:59Z

A very neat game! I cant think of any feedback to give!

Well done!

A Death In The West by pete-h 2019-05-01T12:58:10Z

Despite missing a proper ending, i think this game is pretty solid and if given more time, it can turn into something great!

For the time given, you have done an amazing job!

The Final Rescue by mrjoshuamclean 2019-04-29T16:25:43Z

Pretty cool game! I got a bit frustrated with the aiming system at first but then i got used to it! The music also settles the mood well. A solid entry!

Game Dev Life by Neowedge 2019-04-29T10:04:47Z

It took me a while to understand that i die faster when i am out of happiness but when i did, i started to get better and i got a decent life, only to die of spamming my mouse button too furiously and accidentally dying. A solid game, but i'd recommend you make the player have to a click a bit less. (or maybe its just me who just got the instinct to start spamming my mouse)

Blood Chest by PeachTreeOath 2019-05-07T11:49:35Z

Pretty solid game! I liked the main mechanic, the drawings are well done, the audio is fitting but there seems to be a reaccuring bug. At some point my tongue would get stuck in the air and there is nothing i can do for it to come back, i cant control it and from that point on my game is doomed, that happened 2 times in a row, once on wave 3 and 2nd on wave 6 so it seems to be a random bug.

That did prove to be annoying but i still think this game is very well done and deserves my high rating!

Space Rabbit by Baraa Marwan 2019-04-29T13:03:37Z

Fun but in my opinion too easy game. I just hid in one place and could last for an eternity. Also i am not a big fan of the shaky screen but thats a personal opinion. A solid game!

Life is Money, Captain! by Luis J. Benitez 2019-05-10T11:02:01Z

Pretty fun game! Not the most original but i must say that the gameplay was pretty good! At first it was a bit clunky with the movement but after some upgrades it became pretty good and entertaining! The soundtrack was a bit too short and repetitive so i'd suggest some work on it but apart from that, well done!

Heart To The Sky by Baby Dino Herd 2019-05-04T16:55:05Z

A great puzzle game! The music is nice, the graphics as well and the game is not too easy (as it seems to be) or too hard! Great job!

Your Money's No Good Here by Dis0rder 2019-05-05T18:35:30Z

Not sure if it really fits the theme but i think its a really cool game regardless, actually made me laugh on the "jumpscares" but i am actually immune to horror so thats not on you.

Also i'd recommend you put an epilepsy warning somewhere!

Remember by JoshyOshKenoshi 2019-05-15T20:03:28Z

That was incredible, i got 250/700 which i feel like its very bad, but i really enjoyed the game! I am still amazed how you managed to write a response for every memory for each character, must have been hell!

As a fan of these types of games, i must say that this was nothing less than an amazing experience!

FINGER FIGHTER - High Stakes by Erik Brunnstrom 2019-04-29T11:44:20Z

Can't load the game i'm sad to say

Error.png

Forced To Fight ðŸĪš by xUMR 2019-05-12T19:27:31Z

A incredibly fun game! I really enjoyed it, although the simplistic graphics and animations. The combat felt pretty nice, I felt like it required skill to win and i just don't have anything negative to say about this game.

Amazing job!

I Burn by mamoniem 2019-05-01T14:16:38Z

If you just tried to get me into an existential crisis than that was a good attempt if i've seen any!

Its not really a game, but i think i liked it!

Good job!

The Fountain of Youth by cenullum 2019-04-29T09:35:30Z

Very fun game! I am quite impressed that you managed to make 12 endings for it! The english did unsettle the mood a bit but apart from that an excellent game! Oh and the title also doesn't go away but its not a big deal.

L.Y.L.A. - Your personal Living Your Life Assistant by Gruni 2019-04-29T12:52:31Z

There is quite a bit of potential in this game, maybe add some more color, a different set of choices as they were very similiar to each other and give the player a result to aim at. The monologues are just so long and can be boring. You have good sounds and visuals but as you said yourself, it lacks fun. If you continue this game i know you can make it better!

SpaceQuest by Simone 2019-05-01T12:28:00Z

Very neat and polished game! A short but enjoyable experience!

LIFEBLASTER by gwinnell 2019-05-01T14:06:01Z

This really had a Doom vibe. Its also very impressive that you did this all in a custom engine!

I could only suggest lowering the sensitivity or having an option for a slider but apart from that its a very well done game!

The Joy of Creationism with God Ross by AndideBob 2019-04-29T10:16:41Z

A Masterpiece, the humor got me before i even booted the game! Graphics: Godly - that made me laugh so hard! Despite being too smooth, i could handle the jazz, the voiceover was amazing and the experience was just hilarious! I ran into a little bug however where when i restarted, the buttons would not work but nothing more really. Also at some points i could very easily see the corners of the skybox but thats just very minor! This is nothing less than a Godly game, your team did a great job!

Little Robot by Waveform Modulations 2019-05-16T18:00:10Z

I found this game way too hard, the combat is very dull and with that insane mouse sensitivity (i am not sure if its from me or the game but i havent had such problems in other games) it was simply impossible to finish the game. I found the graphics nice and the audio was pretty cool so props for that.

I am really not sure if i missed something but as of now, the game needs something(maybe some balancing?) to make it better, though thats my opinions.

Good job, regardless!

Life is Currency by Rancoud 2019-04-29T15:05:48Z

A very cool game! I like how you showed the theme as selling blood for hints!

altar of a dark god by otresnjak 2019-04-29T12:38:59Z

Very hard but good game! It took me a while to figure out how to do things but i managed to get a good run before the knights destroyed my town. The dramatic music set the mood and i was actually very impressed by it! Great job!

No more Chicken by PaulLyaudet 2019-05-01T12:45:48Z

This game is amazing and lacks nothing but a block mechanic. I love the cinematic moments and the mood of the game, i liked the art and everything was just very good!

However, i think you might have missed the mark a bit with balancing as i just found it too hard to beat, i couldnt get till the end because there are far too little chicken to replenish health and when you start getting bombarded by enemies and you cant block it or dodge it properly there is nothing one can do :/

Regardless, i found the game hilarious, creative and entertaining!

Great job!

StuckInStocks by MrSchlag2 2019-05-01T20:21:15Z

An incredible game with a very unique take on the theme!

Meaningful Life by Belea 2019-04-29T14:32:25Z

That was a very quick experience! It also deafened me a moment, damn chicks are so loud! It doesnt have much to do with the theme but i really liked it! I eventually figured out i can go againts the machine and i escaped and lived! Cool game! You have also got the highest Mood rating from me so far because those chicks and instant start really throws you into a confusion and panic state which they would be feeling! Awesome!

Space Hunt by Rewzu 2019-05-04T17:02:13Z

A rather hard game for me as i am used to shooting with the mouse and this game was a big test of my ability to adapt to new controls. I feel like there could have been a better way to handle that but regardless it is a nice game when you get used to it. Liked the effects, the graphics and the music, well done!

Gain by deshipu 2019-04-29T09:47:09Z

I think the message was something along the lines of - "nothing else is has point, your only job is to make money" as i could not interact with anything else apart from the coin machine and the kitten, the other rooms seemed empty, nothing to interact with. I did like the art style and i think with a bit more work the game can do a better job showing its message. Great job nonetheless!

Dragon Runner by Pavel Smejkal 2019-05-16T18:06:40Z

Pretty good game! I think it just misses a cool dynamic/playful background music!

Great job!

My first LD Game: Mutant Lemonade Stand by leary93 2019-05-05T18:46:27Z

Awesome game! Really makes you addicted to serving lemonade and icecreams! It also has replayability which i like and as a whole i think you have done a great job with this game!

A Bill's Life by Kovakomes 2019-04-29T09:21:20Z

At first i was confused, then i got the joke! Of course, the life of a bill is a bit boring but the joke sets the innovation off the roof, supported by a nice little soundtrack! Very creative, well done!

Mansionvania by wildcard 2019-05-14T13:09:50Z

I really liked it! The artstyle, the audio, everything. I think the colliders are a bit off, i would get hit even if i am not close to the enemy. I also didnt really catch the theme in the game.

Regardless, i enjoyed it very much!

Maze of Leaking Memory by Mironx 2019-05-01T12:14:21Z

Cool game! I found the combat a bit difficult, perphaps making it attack at the direction of mouse would have been better but its still managable. I think its also a bit short, i finished the game in less than 2 minutes but i feel like i just got very lucky!

Great job!

PANDEMONIUM: A Card Game by Borys 2019-04-29T16:47:44Z

A card game! I am have had a few months in Hearthstone so i know about the value of cards (attack to health) so i really enjoyed the game!

Rashness by Saering 2019-05-01T17:57:14Z

A great game i must say! The music is good, the art, the theme is well executed, though i must say since i have worked on a similiar to this, game of mine, i know that such boss would have some weak spot, that being the fact that all i have to do is move down diagonally to the left or right and keep shooting at him. He would then just do 1 ability because of my distance from him (i assume) which is the spin attack that almost never hit me and i could very easily defeat him! In my game i added an eventual border to stop the player from doing this though there are many other ways to prevent it.

I hope this helps you in any ways and again, well done!

Bloodletter by shp 2019-04-29T14:53:07Z

Amazing! I havent played Quake in a long time and this really brings me back! An awesome experience, just as the original, good job!

How will you end your LD ? by Quorusa 2019-04-29T11:23:34Z

A bit confusing and i think the game needs a bit more work on art, though the idea is good. The music is just too short and i think some sounds and animations can easily bring life to your game! It has potential, but it needs work.

Crossroads by jka 2019-05-15T13:45:34Z

Very simple yet fun game, i really enjoyed it! Great job!

The Bounty Hunter by dk5000p 2019-04-29T16:20:27Z

Definitely one of the more unique games in this jam! I did however find in unresponsive as whenever i say something it wouldnt do it fast enough, sometimes it wouldnt do it at all. My mic is a good one and i don't have an accent of sorts so i think its the game that fails to recognise my directions. This has a lot of potential!

Battery Life by Attala 2019-04-29T10:29:30Z

I really like the concept! It is a bit challenging and requires some restarting but thats what makes it a good game! Great job!

Labyrinth of Lifeforce by Arthur Baars 2019-05-01T18:07:40Z

Nice concept! I quite enjoyed the experience!

Wu-Wei by luckyDaisy 2019-05-10T11:10:51Z

Very fun platformer! I got stuck on level 9 though, the one with the minotaur who just could not kill me. I would get stuck everytime! Still, i think its a very well done game, with 20 levels no less! It has great art, great soundtrack and nice controls, very solid game!

Spend Your Life by diesdas 2019-04-29T12:02:53Z

Quite an entertaining game! I played a lot with the possibilities and finally got a death with all positive numbers! There isnt really much to complain about except maybe how irritating it can be to be dragging all the squares one by one. Apart from that, well done!

The cold by EndSSGamesStudio 2019-05-10T10:49:29Z

Very moody game! I must say though, i was quite confused as what i had to do but i think i figured it out at the end!

Great job!

Rent is Due by JakobTheQuizGuy 2019-04-29T11:39:30Z

Great game which simply lacks a great sound track! (or maybe it has? i played it in the browser) The theme is there and especially the difficulty! Its not an easy game so it can be a bit off-putting but atleast you've made it so that losing is not a complete restart! A solid game i must say!

Oh my blood! by hechi 2019-05-01T13:09:48Z

An amazingly fun game! I liked the mechanic to have to switch spell types, reminds me of the new God of War with the weapons, and i especially loved the art style, it looks really good!

Well done!

Save others Save you by Wolfsblut 2019-05-05T18:26:01Z

This game has a nice idea and i honestly hoped there would be more levels! I died on my first try because i didnt know there was a double jump and after i found that out i was able to finish the game. I think if there were more enemies or just more choices in general the theme would have been more reinforced but i still think that it works in the end. As a whole, a cool game!

Grow by Caspercaper17 2019-04-29T11:05:49Z

Its a very calming game so it serves its purpose, the music was good but rather a short loop. The speed of the fish was rather low so it was a bit of a drag just going from one place to another but regardless, a nice game!

Till Breath Do Us Part by DataGreed 2019-05-06T20:49:48Z

A difficult game but an entertaining one nonetheless. The movement speed is a bit slow imo and the music is rather repetitive but apart from that it is a solid top down shooter!

Menorah's Quest by enderswype 2019-05-07T11:17:10Z

A very simple yet fun game. Only suggestion would be that you clarify better where the hit box is because i was in constant worry my top half would cause me to fail.

Apart from that, great job!

The Giving Thing by Jam373 2019-05-07T18:36:21Z

That was a pretty cool little story! Really liked it, well done!

Worth a Coin by Evolus 2019-04-29T12:15:03Z

Everything about this game is so well done! I feel like there is a slight inconsistency in the art but the cool models, the SFX, the music, the alternative endings made for a great experience, your team has done a great job!

Goal: Bounty by xebia-jam 2019-05-10T11:18:37Z

Very entertaining game! It also taught me that my reflexes suck! I think there was a lack of difficulty progression as i felt like i can play this game forever.

Regardless, loved everything about it, great job!

Super Annoying Escort Mission by Gideon 2019-04-29T13:56:17Z

Wow this was a fun game! It was infact super annoying to have to click every single unit instead of being able to drag a square and target all inside but i think you have struck a great balance with this game, well done! By the way, the WebGL build doesnt seem to work and it actually crashed my browser :/

Life Engineer by Coder Channel 2019-04-30T11:47:29Z

A really creative game and especially impressive that it is made by a 12yo, you got a great future ahead of you!

The music can use some work and maybe you could have added some sounds when you select or join body parts. There is not much to do with the theme but regardless, the game can be quite fun, especially with those ragdoll physics!

Well done!

Flowaz by Harry Damm 2019-04-29T16:34:31Z

A short, simple and relaxing little puzzle. Well done!

Life Is Time, Time Is Money by Kimynay 2019-04-29T14:20:05Z

Firstly, i think there is a problem with the shop, i cant buy anything, whatever key i press, (maybe because i am playing with mouse and keyboard) and there doesnt seem to have a restart button. I see what you are going for and i think you can do it but for now it is a rather unfinished game :/

Heartful Decisions by Lubaka 2019-04-29T11:50:24Z

@diesdas Thanks for playing! You slam them by doing any movement really, either by going towards them or on your way back, if you hit them while moving they are gone. And i agree that living negative years is dumb! I believe it is supposed to say that you are not even born then! :laughing:

Heartful Decisions by Lubaka 2019-04-29T13:22:39Z

@gideon 142?! Thats more than my record! :laughing: Thanks for playing!

Heartful Decisions by Lubaka 2019-04-29T13:58:56Z

@pincushion Thanks for playing! This is quite odd, the bug you encountered, i may have to look into it.

Heartful Decisions by Lubaka 2019-04-30T23:00:51Z

@mironx Hey there! I must say that audio management is not one of my strongest parts and you are right that the heart sounds a bit weird, i tried to do all the sounds by myself and as you see it is far from perfect.

And you are right! The game is completely random, but hey, that is a feature *wink* , cause as we all know, every human is different and thus every situation will be different, equal or not. Though i did think of balancing, i had no time to implement that.

And the inside... well... i did go for a more "realistic" look.

Thanks for playing and i really appreciate the feedback!

Heartful Decisions by Lubaka 2019-05-05T22:41:49Z

@philipprapp95 Thanks for the feedback! I thought that the text staying longer would be annoying as people were going to play again and read it fully anyways but you and others seem to be on the same page about that, very useful for me!

@ryupold Thanks for playing! I thought that it would be the simplest to show by the effect of it on your heart, if it turned darker, its bad, else its good or neutral. And by the way, you can actually run it on a phone surprisingly and if the browser of the phone doesnt crash for some reason as it did for me (not my friends tho), you can play it on mobile, and thats totally intended!

Heartful Decisions by Lubaka 2019-05-06T20:58:49Z

@marco-schneider Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback, i didnt have anybody else to play this game for me so i think your say that you cant remember them all is justified, also its all random because i could not do a balancing system in time, but hey, all people are different so thats a feature ;) !

@soggybreadhands Thanks for playing! I thought of that but then i dont think it would fit the theme but tahts really up to debate, its a good idea though one that i could not give enough thought during development.

@xsoodx Thanks for playing! I dont think that would have worked as well since at a point there could be more than 4 bacterias/viruses at once and it would make the game into a turned-based game which was not my idea, though a valid suggestion nonetheless!

@datagreed Thanks for playing! Negative years ain't fun! Try to live friend!

Heartful Decisions by Lubaka 2019-05-08T17:17:53Z

@dev-dennis Thanks for the feedback, i agree the game needs some tweaking, hopefully my future jam games will be better! :D

@peachtreeoath Thank you for playing! My personal high-score is 120 years though i have done 170 during testing (not counting that though). I agree there is some potential to this to replace flashcards but i don't think i would be one to do that! :laughing: Thank you for the kind words and again, thanks for playing!

Heartful Decisions by Lubaka 2019-05-20T13:34:48Z

@neontropics Thanks for playing!

@m2tias Thanks for the feedback! I really didnt have time to do the balancing so i see where you are coming from. Also i thought that since you make the heart work more to fight the bacteria, it would make the person weaker and thats where the decision and memorization part kicks in! Anyways, really appreciate the feedback and thanks for playing!

Heartful Decisions by Lubaka 2019-05-21T19:04:14Z

@wildcard Thanks for playing! I guess you are right on that one, i knew i had to go with something other than red but turns out purple might also be bad!

A Pirate's Reward by philipprapp95 2019-05-06T13:49:26Z

An incredibly fun game! I liked literally everything about it! I think with a bigger world, some options to buy ships and upgrades this could be an amazing browser online game (or a normal online game in general)! Fantastic work!

Pilgrimage of Ascension by Pincushion 2019-04-29T14:11:19Z

I did not feel the theme in this game but that did not stop it from being interesting. It took me quite a bit of tries to figure out how to finish the levels and i hoped that a nice soundtrack would have been there to cheer me up. The models are obviously lacking a bit and the game could use some sound! A nice game nonetheless!

Stilts by MuchosWaffles 2019-05-12T10:53:04Z

I had to replay to see if i am missing something. I almost instantly settled and i think a restart button would have been appreciated. The audio is gets a bit annoying as time goes on. I didnt get the point of hats but cool thing regardless, and i would have loved to see you finish the ending. I'd suggest you add some upgrades to boost the speed of profit to make the game more engaging, though i understand that time is limited and the theme was not easy.

Definitely needs more work but has potential nonetheless, good job!

LIFEPOWERED by hawec 2019-05-06T14:00:44Z

Very captivating game! Nice artstyle, moody music, cool mechanic, everything was well done. The difficulty isnt my taste but thats on me. Great job with this game!

Age Waves by Notekri 2019-05-05T18:55:58Z

I liked the idea of introducing a second currency in the game but i think it still needs some more work and polish like more spawnpoints and of course, audio, especially audio as part of the satisfaction of a shooter game is in the gun sounds! It still felt fun to play though, so i think its not far from being a great game!

Stick Dungeon by EnovyT 2019-05-10T10:55:28Z

A rather difficult combat system but in a bad way in my opinion, it was very hard to use the sword and killing enemies wasnt really satisfying. The soundtrack is pretty good though and the game has a Binding of Isaac feel to it so with a little more work it can become something great!

☐​☐☐☐☐ : an experimental narrative ​ by Lapersila 2019-05-06T14:17:29Z

I like choice based games so this was a nice experience. I am not sure if you managed to add different outcomes because i did 2 very different runs and at the end my friend still left. The confirm sound actually bugged my ears a bit but that might be just me.

As a whole, i think you have done a simple, yet pleasant experience.
