LD46 — Keep it alive

Alien Operation by joemid 2020-04-27T11:48:49Z

I am so frustrated !! :grimacing: The game looks interresting, but I have litteraly no idea what to do. I found two major ways of killing myself, but nothing that seemed to really have a positive effect. Is there a way to do anything but butchering the alien or exploding the ventilation ? I tried the bucket on everything, nothing happened. I'd be glad to test your game again, but for now I have no clue. (I tested the Windows bugfix, since the HTML5 always freezes after a few seconds playing.) Nice work anyway !

Save the sun MAN by MrChippy 2020-04-29T14:05:57Z

Nice game, I like playing through it. :purple_heart:

Call of Planty by zirconcode 2020-05-01T09:03:19Z

Nice game ! I'm not fond of humour consisting in insulting the player, but your game works and can be played. :thumbsup:

Retrobulbar by stefenism 2020-04-27T12:12:13Z

I loved it ! This game is incredible ! A huge thank you to @joemid who evoked it on our game page, and to you for developing it. It makes me think to great puzzle games as Beyond Perception or Monument Valley ! I did not see any link to the theme, but no problem, the game is amazing. :purple_heart:

Mind Defender by Laura del Pino 2020-04-29T13:23:53Z

Nice idea, and well done ! There is no information on what differences there are between the towers, or why the towers are not shooting. I suspect a fire rate and a reload time, but it would be great to have feedbacks indicating the player what is going on. :thumbsup:

Tamagotchi Mastermind by Khud0 2020-04-22T13:25:42Z

Cool game ! I wished I could play longer with more types of food. It made me think to spore. I like the idea. You had good graphics and music too. :purple_heart:

Timmy & Rock by KekkoDude 2020-04-27T11:52:17Z

Nice game. I found it a bit hard though. Reducing the charging time might be helpful, but good job. :thumbsup:

Keith's Flint & Steel by johnnysix 2020-04-29T13:33:53Z

I liked the game a lot ! The post dare version has some great improvements too ! Nice work ! :purple_heart:

Tale of a Little Guardian by Morg 2020-04-22T13:01:39Z

Lovely game :purple_heart: ! It was a bit hard to see what was further, and I fell in spikes a few time because of that. Also, careful : you can re-enter the snail room, but the snail won't be there, so it's a soft lock (the lifebar did not seem to diminish, it was flickering around the current value). Anyway, I loved the atmosphere, the music and graphics, and enjoyed playing your game.

Unbroken Shell by Garett Cooper 2020-04-22T12:47:50Z

Really hard game ! It took me a lot of attempts to beat each part, thank you so much for putting checkpoints ! I loved the graphics, the music, and the idea. The ending was quite lovely too. :purple_heart:

Gardener 2.X by Harker 2020-04-21T16:24:06Z

Lovely game ! Chill and relax, I loved it ! :purple_heart:

Plants'N'Ants by Mads 2020-04-21T12:41:05Z

Lovely game ! I enjoyed playing it, despite some lag. I agree that the ants are a bit small, and it took me some time to understand that one of my big flower was attacked. I also think it would be great to have a visual hint on where the ants spawn from, since it would help placing some flowers (a range of shooting flowers behing some cacti as instance). The relaxing music made me want to enjoy the game without ants, and just relax by placing flowers on the planet. Maybe a no-ant mode would be great too. :purple_heart:

Broadcast Bandits by zoarfy 2020-04-28T21:15:07Z

Nice game ! I sometimes did not understand why my ship was going where it was going, but I had fun playing it. :purple_heart: Love the gameplay idea too !

Flerg's new obsession by Tomáš Selmeci 2020-04-22T11:14:55Z

Cute little game :purple_heart: ! At first I thought the running part was a bit hard, but after two attempts I succeeded. Short but well done, and really nice !

Trail Blazer by Teo Yong Jie 2020-04-29T13:56:15Z

Nice game, with progressing difficulty, at the beginning. Maybe you could have done less levels and taken more time on the last levels, but the idea was great and you realised it well. :purple_heart:

Sachka, Heal-sitter by Darklim Henwitch 2020-04-21T15:34:23Z

Really nice concept, well done ! I could not beat the boss though, never been quite good as a healer. Loved it ! :purple_heart:

Guardian Reaper by Raphiell 2020-04-28T19:20:24Z

The level with four spikes just made me quit, how do I pass that ? This was so frustrating ! Overall, the game is nice, the idea is nice, and even if they are some strange brown lines as if the background tiles were not quite aligned, the realisation is nice, but the levels require a timing I am simply not able to have.

Root Quest by thebreakfast 2020-04-27T11:54:59Z

I enjoyed playing your game. I found the level design a bit frustrating, since there were some required leap of faith followed by endless pits, and I did not found a way to differentiate them before trying. I did not have too much trouble finishing it though, and was not disappointed. Well done. :purple_heart:

Keep the LEVEL ALIVE! by magicera 2020-04-21T14:32:37Z

I loved the idea ! Really nice and enjoyable game.

Slimekeep by BenBonk 2020-04-22T13:13:45Z

Nice game. I like the idea, and you realised it well. I think voids might have a spawn rate a little bit too low. I could only obtain one, and the terrain was quickly filled with slimes, so I could not reach any of the others that had spawn. I enjoyed playing it. :purple_heart:

Kingdom Trainee by ukirain 2020-04-22T11:30:59Z

Nice game ! I sometimes a hard time understanding what I was doing right, since even when I dropped a random card in order to get rid of it, it triggered a good reaction. In total, I had four bad reactions, even though I thought there were somehow appropriate. Anyway, I liked playing it :purple_heart: !

Friendly Fire by very dark lord 2020-04-24T16:32:00Z

Loved it ! Really good game, really complete with a good gameplay, a whole adventure, a lot of puns, some progression. And dance moves ! Really loved that part. Thank you so much for creating this. :purple_heart:

Pump It ! by JulienLussiez 2020-04-24T16:12:34Z

Really nice game ! I enjoyed playing the different levels. I will be sure to take a look at the post-jam improvements later ! :purple_heart:

Mage or Trouble by SynysterCola 2020-04-21T10:27:34Z

At first I thought the level design was really linear, but then I arrived in the first labyrinth part... A really absorbing game, I don't know how much time I spent on it ! There is a really hight level gap between the beginning and the Ninjas I guess, and not being able to save more often made me quit after the third floor (I think), when a sudden focus from an Orc, a Skeletton Magician and the rat-ish creature killed Lancaster (I thought he was full life :cry: ). I loved the game and how you took time to put lore in it. :purple_heart:

Oaks & Pines by Argon 2020-04-21T14:02:23Z

I quite agree with Jarmustard on every point. I played 200 turns until I decided to burn everything, but seeing the last pine, I rebuild a forest until turn 300, when I decided to definitely burn the forest. But despite the lack of difficulty, the game is really relaxing, and I loved it as it is ! :purple_heart:

Wood Walker by Memory of God 2020-04-21T16:13:28Z

Great game ! I loved the atmosphere, I felt relaxed and chilling out next to the fire was some quality time. Since you don't lock the position while the player is getting up, they can do some cool slippy moves :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: ! :purple_heart:

FIREGUARD by Puszkee 2020-04-28T08:06:20Z

I like the idea a lot actually ! The resource management was a bit hard I think, but really cool idea ! :purple_heart:

apples by Space Nomad 2020-05-01T09:10:53Z

Nice game ! As said, it would be a bit easier if you could jump while holding an object or if the hunger bar was slowed. I was quite in a hurry and my little friend went in front of me in a small area, I did not have time to go back and it was blocking me from going forward... And sometimes, I don't quite understand why I can't jump, even when I don't seem to be carrying an item. :thinking:

Mass Murder: The Video Game by InfinityGamesInc 2020-04-21T15:20:28Z

Nice little game. In the parc themed area, the enemies are drawn below the vegetation, not sure wether it was intentional, but it made it more difficult to aim.

Piggy Defense by Yskuma 2020-04-21T11:21:36Z

I loved it :purple_heart: ! As some already said, some more interface and information would be a great improvement. I only beat three levels, but I had a good time playing your game and figuring how to place my defenses.

The Zombies Away From Me by Sebastian Caron 2020-04-20T12:30:33Z

Tested the HTML5 version. The idea is nice, and the game seems playable. However, it might be a little bit too hard on the beginning. I sure am a poor player, but I was never able to have a score higher than 15. Sometimes, three fast enemies come from three different direction, and I just can't beat them all. I also had a bit of lag, not sure why.

Where`s my Pills by colan 2020-04-21T14:47:35Z

Really hard game ! I barely finished the first level after some attempts and a Game Over, and my skills were not good enough to pass the first obstacle of the second level. The controls were quite hard to master, since the character moves really fast. I would recommend to try lower the level, at least at the begining for inexperienced players like me who will not try hard for long.

Keep the store alive by MarkusK 2020-04-21T15:39:04Z

I won't develop on the bugs, since you know them, but they really made it difficult for me to play. The sliders were really hard to use, and customers were not willing to wait even when they were the first in line, with three employees. I even had some employees not moving after receiving a request...

Mother Bird + Flamethrower! by InefficientChunkOfCode 2020-04-21T14:59:57Z

Really fun and humorous game ! I loved it, even though burning those cutie foxes made my heart bleed. I enjoyed playing it, and though I am not really skilled, I had a good time. I also liked that when your egg is gone, you can still execute all the remaining foxes for revenge. :open_mouth:

Imagine by AndreiOlenic 2020-04-21T14:40:45Z

Nice little game. I enjoyed playing it a bit. There were some enemies I just could not hit. Maybe there is a small collision problem that happen when enemies are quite close to the bear ? I loved the idea anyway. :purple_heart:

Medic! Keep'em Alive by Robert Li 2020-04-27T11:41:12Z

Nice game. I feel something went the unintended way while I was playing, since on my second attempt I was stuck on a small portion of the screen, where I had almost no time to heal any soldier, and was completely out of range from the gunshots... I could not save all soldiers, but I just could not die, so the game was infinite.

Save the last plant. by DeepKaiju 2020-04-27T11:43:29Z

Nice game. I died twice not really understanding, but then I fully understood the game, and had quite a good time trying to monitor my resources, plan my moves, and finish the game. :purple_heart:

Rebooting Flowers by Haoro 2020-04-21T14:19:56Z

Lovely game. I did not go really far but it was pleasant to play. At first I did not see Flo's water bar, and was not sure how much I had to water it. Careful, you say in your tutorial to use ZQSD (the french keys), but I had to switch to QWERTY, since you use WASD. I loved the humor and the bit of lore that was presented. :purple_heart:

Cells Alive by Ivan643 2020-04-21T12:04:12Z

I think the same as Hornicar : some more feedbacks would be great, especially on enemy death. There was also a problem on spawning new cell, since some of the cells I spawned were stuck between other cells, and at some point, every cell I spawned immediately despawned. It was really fun and interresting though ! :purple_heart:

Social Distancing For LadyBugs by mehrdadsh 2020-04-28T07:54:58Z

Nice game ! Not too hard, but not too easy, and makes the player want to try it a few times. :thumbsup:

DilemnIA by SODIDOS 2020-04-21T13:44:36Z

Tested on the french version. It took me some time to figure that I could zoom by right-clicking. The interactions are really good and your game is well made ! I also had a hard time figuring what was going on. I did not understand the purpose of the switches on the left wall, below the indications. On my first attempt, I made the gauges disappear by clicking several times on the big red buttons. On my second attempt, I completed step A, then did all the steps again, with the appropriate name swaps, and then I did not know what to do, so I used the left wall switches which stopped the game...

Parasist by Kiwii 2020-04-21T12:00:16Z

Really nice game :purple_heart: ! I tried all levels, but could not finish the cat (I only tried twice though). As others, I have been softlocked on a maxed skill window. Maybe it could be improved by detecting it and let the player decide to continue or going to the title screen (but it was no big problem, since reloading the page led to the title screen). I think there was a slight bug, because with the cat, I think I clicked a "flee" button, but the action described after that was an attack. Anyway, really lovely game, I enjoyed playing it a lot !

Fatter by axeltherabbit 2020-04-22T13:19:13Z

Nice game for your first jam ! It is well done, I had no problem playing it. :thumbsup:

Planty by kitjenson 2020-04-29T13:38:17Z

Nice little game ! Would definitely be a great mobile game, I think. :purple_heart:

A Tail Of Ice And Fire And A Tree by Jawsarn 2020-04-21T12:25:03Z

Great game ! I love tower defense games, and yours is well made. I think a description of each tower would be a great improvement, but since there are a limited number and no upgrades, it does not take too much time to understand. I had a hard time understanding which path the enemies were going through when there were several spawning points and intersections.

Chance by uberardy 2020-04-27T11:57:38Z

I love the idea ! Making a Game Boy game, and making it about a true story, I love it. :purple_heart: A bit short unfortunately, but really cool !
