LD50 — Delay the inevitable (16)

Nightwaker by Bottled up Dark Peace 2022-04-07T14:22:11Z ♥ 2

Whilst I really like the game, I can't play it very far as my hand starts to hurt with the constant typing. I love the concept, really do, but I would enjoy it much more without that.

Great atmosphere and gameplay though, big fan of Limbo and those games, you've done well!

Mr. Fuse by Praccen 2022-04-07T14:16:33Z ♥ 2

Overall really like this, got quite frustrating though when I got the bomb to the top and it fell down on the side :D I would recommend a few simpler levels to get players into it before turning up the difficulty. But who am I to say that, I make my own games too hard all the time as well, so don't listen to me :)

Clever idea and as itzemii said I like the ending with just the bomb exploding, thats nice.

Dawn of the Karen by BougieBirdie 2022-04-07T14:09:12Z ♥ 1

Oh no, I was defending myself against so many Karen's before one of them got me! Ha, really enjoyed this game, great job, nice art, loved the announcements!

Too Close by Webox 2022-04-07T14:03:49Z ♥ 2

Very tricky, love the art style at atmosphere. The movement was a bit weird as it wasn't predictable which way she'd turn next, I'm not sure if that is randomized or if that's just me? If its randomized I'd recommend making it deterministic because it is kinda a puzzle under time pressure - which I find a really cool idea! This feels like something you could make into a real game and put it on mobile!

Human Resource by Tieran 2022-04-07T13:58:04Z ♥ 1

Good job on getting this together and making it in the jam. Sound effects for the different actions would make a big difference, but apart from that it's a nice little game. I like the cartoonish shader and the characters.

Muzketeerz by Lord Shulky 2022-04-06T03:04:47Z ♥ 1

As others have said, the controls are tricky to grasp and more UI feedback would be cool, maybe simple buttons for what kind of formation you want would be cool. I'd really like a ring formation, shooting outside for example. Or drawing the line yourself and all your men align along it would be very cool.

I really like the idea and with a bit more polish you could make this super fun!

Grandma by smiley 2022-04-05T16:06:29Z ♥ 1

Great atmosphere, I feel sad about grandma and want to help her!

Love the art style!

The controls were a bit awkward on the keyboard, I guess they are better on a controller. I recommend at this point to remind the player how to fight because all those buttons from the start screen I couldn't remember.

The Joys of Being Undead by CodeRaurus 2022-04-05T15:49:13Z ♥ 1

Great art style and fantastic overall job for a compo entry, congrats!

The difficulty level is very linear, as it is not getting harder later on. I didn't even know those dudes wanted to destroy those thingies, maybe an intro level would be good where a guy destroys one of them and that has a negative effect on you, so the player learns when playing the first time?

Screenshot 2022-04-05 234626.png

The Last Savior by JustusPan 2022-04-05T15:42:56Z ♥ 2

Absolutely love the art style!

As this is already very polished and has great game feel, just a few very small things I noticed: - The music is a bit loud in comparison to the sound effects but that might just be me (I like the audio effects being louder than the music) - There is no sense of "increasing power" when picking up more Att+ pickups. Ideally the attacks would become more powerful and destroy previously harder enemies with ease (and then more powerful enemies appear to even the battlefield again, the neverending story of powerups) - Even though I really love the 3 different attacks, I didn't notice that one has benefits over the others. Would be cool if that would be the case or maybe I just didn't notice.

Alien Annihilation by MeritCoding 2022-04-05T15:32:07Z ♥ 0

Worked for me, I got all the metal and build an antenna but not sure what I should have been doing next?

That sliding walking animation has some old-school vibe, I like it! :)

DLAY's Buffet by BinaryPrinciple 2022-04-05T15:27:28Z ♥ 1

Lol @ the title "DLAY"! :)

Screenshot 2022-04-05 232355.png

Nice little game, I especially liked the sound and overall look. The controls where good but I think you could add more "game feel" if you'd make throwing the sheep physics-based (that would make it much harder of course, so you'd need to scale down how much health one sheep takes away from DLAY).

Abysmall by Wakobu 2022-04-05T09:43:40Z ♥ 0

Yep, same, please publish, we want to play! :)

My happy weedy farm by Marin0104 2022-04-05T09:19:32Z ♥ 1

Hey, we are farm pals, I made a farm game too :) Just yours looks and plays waaay better - great job! Love the atmosphere of it, even though the weed gets in the way it's an overall positive experience.

LD49 — Unstable (18)

Dog ate the bomb by Aspabot 2021-10-05T13:26:40Z ♥ 1

Ok I have to ask, how did you get that idea? 🤣

Cool gameplay, nice graphics, great job!

Divine Intervention by YogurtTheHorse 2021-10-05T13:22:58Z ♥ 1

Amazing art, flawless victor in that area! I wouldn't be surprised if you win in that category! :)

As for gameplay, that is a bit punishing and hard to remember all the keys to press, the learning curve is quite steep. As an idea, if a task would initially only require one button so one can get the hang of it. After successfully completing the task it could progress to that task level 2 which then requires 2 buttons and so on.

Also like the "juicy" feedback when pressing buttons etc, feels really good! 👏 👏 👏

Entropy by Anomay 2021-10-05T13:11:22Z ♥ 1

Yeap same, link broken :/

UNSUSTAINABLE: a god job by froissant 2021-10-05T13:10:04Z ♥ 5

Fantastic work, you guys seem to be a great team! Best art I've seen so far!

I found the minigames a bit hard to play on a touchpad but the mood is super strong in this one :)

👏 👏 👏

Hello Darkness. My old Friend. by Aquachain 2021-10-04T14:29:03Z ♥ 2

Love the art style!

Couldn't get past level 3 (or so) as it felt like I couldn't jump high enough to get to the next platform.

If you put more work in it you could make this an actual game that people will pay money for - the art style is really lovely.

Bitrunner by TimeLoad 2021-10-04T14:23:08Z ♥ 1

The controls and visuals feel very slick - great work for such a small timeframe!

Operation Un-Stable by TheHansinator 2021-10-04T14:15:37Z ♥ 1

hahahah un-stable, I love it. Genius! Love the animation and audio, fantastic work!

CryptoCoaster by the.jahn 2021-10-04T14:09:46Z ♥ 1

Haha, that made actually laugh, fantastic idea :D Good job!

Monday by gimbalock 2021-10-04T14:02:33Z ♥ 2

Good job, nice idea with the stress level and especially good job to get a game in even though you have a little baby around - I can relate, it is very difficult to find time isn't it? :)

UnstableOS by ZwodahS 2021-10-04T13:58:20Z ♥ 1

Very polished look and feel and clever idea for the theme!

Whilst I understand the glitches are required to communicate to the player how the OS is deteriorating , I found them sometimes very annoying - if you could lower the saturation and speed of them it would be easier to focus on the tasks at hand. But thats just a tiny detail.

Amazing job for 48h!

Dr. Frank by enricomandelli 2021-10-04T13:42:16Z ♥ 0

Got 85p, not sure if that is any good or not :) Really like the visuals and effects, very cool and polished game feel. It is not quite clear initially what to do and I think highlighting the flask that needs shooting a bit better would work wonders.

Amazing entry for this LD!

Operator by skelyvelocirap666 2021-10-04T13:33:28Z ♥ 1

Could you make the play area in html5 bigger please? :) Just in the settings in itch.io, should be simple to fix.

Cool by KewDev 2021-10-04T13:26:43Z ♥ 1

Cool idea, great fit for the theme! Nice execution, cute pixel art and love the main character! Got a bit hectic at times and took me a few tries to get a "good" score (no idea if this is good). I think the only thing I would improve a bit would be the audio effects and making the falling parts a tiny bit bouncy to have a better gamefeel.

Amazing job in 48h!

Cool by KewDev 2021-10-04 21-22-03.jpg

Tanks 'n robots by Douwe_Ravers 2021-10-04T13:14:58Z ♥ 2

Not quite sure about the theme fit and the cannon could have a bit more "oomph" and pushback, which would make it feel having more power.

Good job in getting a tank and 3D controls in and everything in 48h! Did you even make all 3D models yourself in that time?!

Risky Manufacture by MatchaMaze 2021-10-04T13:08:59Z ♥ 0

Whilst the idea is nice I am not quite sure how to win/loose this game (if I can even win?)

A Senator's Sacrifice by James Wilson 2021-10-04T12:59:42Z ♥ 0

Clever idea with limiting the jumps, 5 stars on the unstable theme. Would've been nice to have some falling rocks or dust or so to add some flair but I am very aware how limiting 48h are :D

The air controls could use some work and make some sections more difficult than they should be. But apart from that, very cool game, good job!

Unshippable by MikoziQ 2021-10-04T12:35:36Z ♥ 1

Would love to play this but I am on mac and missing the HTML5 version. I think it wouldn't be against the rules if you publish one afterwards, because you would have to fix the UI bug which prevented you from shipping at first?

Arranging The Deckchairs by Jibberwocky 2021-10-04T12:33:21Z ♥ 1

The character has one giant jump ability there :D The unstable ship makes sense, I am not sure why this guy is re-arranging chairs when it is about to go down but I assume thats the point that there is no point? haha

As for the controls I would recommend using just one button to pick up and throw, that would make it easier to understand.

Good job in getting this little game done in 48h!

LD48 — Deeper and deeper (11)

Super Base Jumper by madbookstudios 2021-05-11T13:43:36Z ♥ 1

OMG the impact is killing me 😄 Great job! I actually like the idea to have it in different screens, kinda feels "retro".

A Sinking Feeling by rpgfaker 2021-05-11T13:38:52Z ♥ 0

Love the cute little ship! Even more sad when I got it crushed as I couldn't manage my people quick enough... I wonder how the gameplay would feel like if you would use more indirect controls, no direct people controls but rather give person A task X which will take some time to execute and then give person B task Y etc - that way you could in later levels add more characters. And ideally just start with one to learn the ropes.

Was thinking of posting a highscore screen but I don't think 1000something would be very good :/ 😄

A Deep Breath by Valerii Kholopov 2021-05-11T13:26:29Z ♥ 2

Top rating in the mood category - well done! Probably the most relaxing game I have ever played in a Ludum Dare! 👏

Abyss. by Darylsteak 2021-05-11T13:13:24Z ♥ 0

Very awesome atmosphere, well done! For just one guy this is an amazing outcome for the jam!

Made it to the rescue depth of about 1100m but my weapon was jammed and there was still danger nearby so I couldn't finish it sadly.

Thanks for the C64 memories, I very much enjoyed playing this! If those rocks would fall down or the monster chase me it would add even more boulder dash feeling (at least how I remember it).

Very good job in such a limited time frame!

Deep Finger by Sephy 2021-05-11T12:38:13Z ♥ 2

Ok this is slightly disgusting but even more challenging :D Clever concept but before bringing it to the mass market I would probably reconsider the theme :D

LOL. Lovely game. Making a bunch of these minigames and running your own restaurant would make an interesting full game!

Infinity Dive by keepee 2021-05-11T12:24:49Z ♥ 0

I have to admit it took me a few tries to actually understand the mechanics. This is very clever, well done! Amazing what one can do with a little math and GL.Lines! 👏 👏 👏

Nice graphics, great atmosphere, nice music, good controls.

Only thing missing is a challenge - rocks only slowing me down I reached 4k with zero effort and only stopped playing because nothing new happened. With adding something that will catch up to you if you are not making progress fast enough you could add a sense of urgency and make it even scarier? :)

All in all, great job for a jam!

LD46 — Keep it alive (11)

The Storm by NvrSkipGameDay 2020-04-26T14:02:21Z ♥ 1

Awesome style, really like it, well done! The attacks are a little stiff but thats just a little detail (some randomness in the movements would do wonder against the repetitive animation feel). All in all very solid and impressive for the jam time constraints!

Alien Intensive Care by Linky439 2020-04-26T13:57:15Z ♥ 1

Unfortunatly I am not able to play, downloaded and started but nothing happens - anything special I would need on my machine? Would really love to play, especially because it looks like we had a veeery similar idea for this jam and would've loved to test yours :D

Survivalgo by despdair2 2020-04-26T12:57:31Z ♥ 1

Really like the mechanics, with more content this could become a really nice puzzle game on mobile! One main suggestion for improvement would be to see the commands being highlighted during movement somehow, so it's more obvious to the player what in the command line went wrong if he fails. Other than that, good job!

The Gates by Pagetb 2020-04-26T12:48:57Z ♥ 1

Nice idea! Didn't finish TBH but it was nice gameplay and certainly impressive for a first jam! Keep rocking! 🤘

Cadavour by cvetk0 2020-04-24T12:51:35Z ♥ 1

Haha, I love games where I ask myself "What... did I just play?" afterwards :) Weird idea, good implementation!

On Air by Beebo Studios 2020-04-24T12:48:27Z ♥ 2

Clever idea, nice pixel art style, great controls - this has been built by a great team!

Trollwoods by zondarg 2020-04-21T14:39:45Z ♥ 1

Oh no, I got eaten by a troll! Just when I was thinking those guys are a bit too slow one got me from behind... Great gameplay. The maze was a little tricky sometimes - it's pretty damn dark out there! Maybe a few sound effects would've been nice especially when you're far away from the camp fire, just some foot steps in the dark etc... :)

Seems like a lot of effort to get this done in 48h, great job!

Save The Pink Skins! by gajop 2020-04-21T14:31:06Z ♥ 1

A little tricky to control the ship but apart from that nice game and cool theme.

Game of Life+ by Teo Miklethun 2020-04-21T14:24:02Z ♥ 1

Great game and tribute indeed! Clever take on game of life!

Elements by TellusE 2020-04-21T14:12:39Z ♥ 0

Woah, this looks prett cool!

Pro - Clever optional tutorial - Great art and effects - Smooth controls - Clever idea to use health as ammunition! - Can even break stuff by shooting at it - Hot fireballs

Con - Bit heavy on the screenshake :D - Music gets a little bit repetitive after a while; but that's complaining about super tiny details, sorry

All in all, excellent work!

Moluski by Piko Monde 2020-04-21T00:46:44Z ♥ 0

Nice little puzzle game, really like the art style (love pixel art). Only a little suggestion, it's unclear how many times I need to click, you could make that a bit more obvious by adding visual clues, like having 10 leaves on the tree and after a few clicks, the first one falls. After a few more, the 2nd one. That way the player knows he's "clicking in the right direction" if that makes sense? :D

Great job!

LD45 — Start with nothing (3)

HUMAN by QuadApe 2019-10-11T02:55:33Z ♥ 1

Fantastic game, love the art style, mood and unique theme idea! Very polished, I am impressed that you pulled this off in the short time. What engine is it built in?

Clothes On My Back, Things In The Sack by MaxyMax 2019-10-11T02:41:22Z ♥ 2

Interesting idea, I like the charging thing when I try to steal "something". Art style could be improved a little but it's a jam after all, right? :) Good job in finishing it on time!

Enter the Abyss by GuitarBro 2019-10-07T12:09:43Z ♥ 1

Love the atmosphere, awesome effects and graphic style. Your game looks super slick, very impressive!

From a gameplay perspective it feels like you got in the same trap as me usually where you make the game look great, add enemies and spells and animations and everything and then run out of time to actually balance it :D If the different spells would affect the enemies differently it would add more strategy to it where you need so cycle through spells to fight the enemies. Or does it already do that and I just didn't notice?

Anyway, just an idea. Still pretty impressive game for the short timeframe, congrats!

LD44 — Your life is currency (14)

Spirit Seekers by DoubleBlackStudios 2019-05-11T14:07:43Z ♥ 0

Solid controls, some sticky collision detection though, plenty of little bugs. I totally dig the art style though, if you put a bit more fine tuning in this it could be a full game one day!

Reminds me a bit of my own game in matters of running away from something, just that yours looks way better! :D

Seaway by Constantin 2019-05-11T13:36:32Z ♥ 0

Epic art style, loved it! Feels a bit like the good old pirates game... Great job team!

D.R.I.E.D. by JasonD 2019-05-11T13:33:01Z ♥ 3

Well made game, congrats guys! Pretty sure you get close to #1 for this LD with it. Played it a few times but never made it, always dried out. Can you actually win? :D Nonetheless, super nice pixel graphics, love it! Followed you all on your social media accounts.

utsvulten by ditto 2019-05-11T13:23:53Z ♥ 0

Wow, emm... super weird. This is exactly the kind of game I love stumbling across a Ludum Dare... fantastic job. Still not quite sure what I just... "played"...

Remember by JoshyOshKenoshi 2019-05-11T13:08:39Z ♥ 1

Wow, amazing text adventure, well written and it sucks you into the world. Very sad at times, I think this is the first emotional game I played for this LD. I assume you are a writer? Anyways, well done, loved it!

Torture For A Living by Yorsh 2019-05-10T13:43:23Z ♥ 0

I like the art style and the sound effect, pretty cool. Given the perspective, are you going to launch it as a mobile game?

The Gold Digger by Jiri Hysek 2019-05-10T13:33:07Z ♥ 1

Hahaha, had to laugh when I saw "Lets go shopping" on the first screenshot, that got me into playing the game. And the game has surprisingly clever puzzles, I played it through a couple of scenes with increasingly harder difficulty, well balanced curve.

Spot on take on the theme, really like the character graphics and animations. The background is not super awesome but given the timeframe it is a very impressive piece of art you delivered here. I actually had to go back and check in the description that this really is a compo game.

You're a legend for making this in 48h!

BIOFUEL by Antoine Cuvilliez 2019-05-10T13:18:59Z ♥ 0

Sadly I can't play (not on Windows right now, WebGL build would be great!) so I won't give any ratings, but just wanted to say this looks like a pretty clever use of the theme, great job!

The cold by EndSSGamesStudio 2019-05-10T13:08:40Z ♥ 1

Same as the other players before me, I was slightly confused and honestly didn't play it through more than once. A little tutorial of some sort to explain things a bit more would be nice. Sorry if there was one and I missed it... :D

Meat Mountain by gamechoy 2019-05-10T13:05:36Z ♥ 1

Haha, loved it. The idea is... interesting and it feels a bit gross but somehow charming. Good job!

Nice concept, super easy to get into, solid little puzzle game. Good job!

Once Upon A Plague by icxon 2019-05-10T12:12:38Z ♥ 0

Well polished art style, great music, could have more sound effects, controls and actual gameplay goal is not quite clear. Fantastic work for such a short timeframe!

Idle Idol by Daniel Moreno 2019-04-29T14:16:11Z ♥ 1

Wow - I am super impressed, did you make all of this by yourself in 48h? What a legend! Love everything about it, awesome job!

Was well on my way to place blue temples EVERYWHERE when I suddenly won. Dammit, would've loved to fill the map with the blue temple :D

Doki Doki Boom Chaotic by fullmontis 2019-04-29T13:42:50Z ♥ 1

Interesting movement :D Good ol' rocket jump. Movement is a bit cluncky at times but overall a nice little platformer. Good job!

I have no idea how this actually fits into the theme though? :)

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made (19)

Tribu 43 by FiloGC 2018-12-30T05:02:41Z ♥ 1

Wow, this is a compo game? Respect! Did you model all the 3D assets yourself in 48h plus writing the logic and UI stuff? Well done, big effort for such a short time frame. I like the idea, the movement, the characters and the environment. The attack animation could be a bit nicer and adding some pushback would massively increase the gamefeel (every time a char gets hit he gets pushed back a bit), just as a suggestion if you want to keep working on this game. Anyways, well done!

Deadly Debt by superjai 2018-12-30T04:42:36Z ♥ 0

Hey guys, just played your game for a while, good job! Here a bit of feedback (please take with a grain of salt, just my personal opinion):

Good things: - nice art style - really like the different enemy attack styles - upgrades are cool

Not so super great things: - can only attack OR walk is very annoying (at least I couldn't figure out how to shoot during movement) - I have absolutly no clue what I am doing in the game - there are no sacrifices, so not really theme related

For Brain ! by nolifedev 2018-12-06T00:25:38Z ♥ 1

Awesome game guys, loved it, seems we had a fairly similar idea (just that in my game you sacrifice astronouts and can't directly control them). Love the art style and the music, as mentioned before the colliders are a big off but thats not a big deal. Tip in general: Make the colliders a bit smaller than the actual sprites, feels more natural. I was just wondering how the jump physics are implemented, did you use Physics at all or is it custom built? Anyways, especially if this is your first entry guys, you did a stellar job. Music also awesome!

Night of the BloodMoon by erebus 2018-12-04T11:27:46Z ♥ 1

Hahaha, awesome! Love the old school pixel gore! Some walking animation and hit effect would spice it up even more. Well done, solid LD entry!

Contagion by mrnyarlathotep 2018-12-04T11:02:19Z ♥ 1

Awesome! Has been on my list for a while to make a 3D dungeon crawler at LD, never got to it. Very glad that you made one so I could play it... :D Like the minimalistic style and think you could improve upon this concept to make it a bigger game. Well done, nice LD entry!

The greatest sacrifice by xesenix 2018-12-04T09:39:55Z ♥ 1

Awesome soundtrack, well done! And a lot of depth in gameplay for 48h, I'm impressed!

Two Minutes 'Til Tribute by Furtive Pygmy 2018-12-04T09:32:32Z ♥ 1

Neat! Game feel would improve quite a lot with some hit animation and maybe some gory monster explosion and screenshake :) Like the diablo font, where did you get it from?

Lack of Space by skynix 2018-12-04T09:23:42Z ♥ 0

Yeah I am not sure as well, no idea what I was doing. Some initial description definitely would help :D

LOL. That's all.

Muscles and the Gun by Kramdar 2018-12-04T00:25:24Z ♥ 1

This... game is super weird. Love it! :D Could be improved by jumping/landing animations but there is always the ticking clock, right? Funny little game. And the weirdest I've played so far. Great soundtrack as well :)

Master Key by Jeremy Ryan 2018-12-04T00:10:16Z ♥ 0

Well done, I like the idea of sacrificing controls, cool take on the theme. I think the only thing I would add is that you can keep pressing a key to move, it gets a bit cumbersome after a while to keep takking. Apart from that, well done, especially as a compo game!

Worthless Robots Fight by 01FE7E 2018-12-04T00:03:49Z ♥ 0

Ha, didn't know what I was doing for a minute because the first robots I placed where off screen and I was like "what the hell is happening". Also not quite obvious that I need to click the right guy to start a fight. Apart from that, nice idea and I like the black/white aesthetics. This game would definitely benefit from sounds and music but I guess you were running out of time. Great job nonetheless!

The M.O.N.K. by arkiruthis 2018-12-03T14:15:49Z ♥ 1

Nice style, like it! Have you done the animation of the main character as well in those 48h?! Woah.

The Resistance by Sebastian Lague 2018-12-03T13:39:41Z ♥ 1

Great idea! Took me a while to figure out how it works but it's a cool concept. Also love the nice puns, you should make dad jokes for a living? Watt?

Ludum Dare: The Game by pantoufle 2018-12-03T13:19:28Z ♥ 1

Haha, got the Ludum Dare idea as well when I was brainstorming, glad it got made :) Good fun little game, love the rating at the end. Apparently I'm not a great game designer, my game kinda sucked... :D

On The Verge by Akros 2018-12-03T12:18:21Z ♥ 1

Fantastic mood! The only thing that sticks out a little is the unrealistic blood :D Apart from that, really well made, great concept and twist at the end!

The Chickening by Ryvencore 2018-12-03T12:06:45Z ♥ 0

Nice graphics! Got overrun by some evil chicken before I knew what I was doing - trying again seemed to have broken the game (no chicken on 2nd try). Apart from that, nice job! :)

Curse of the eastern god by Adrien Dittrick 2018-12-03T10:29:50Z ♥ 1

Haha, wow, I didn't expect this to game to be so long, that feels like a travelled a lifetime :) Well done, nice story and mood!

Head Spin Builder - Sacrifice Edition! by meursault 2018-12-03T10:13:29Z ♥ 1

I sacrificed so much to the almightey spinning god! Nice job, well done! In 48h impressive!

LootOnline by totsboy 2017-12-10T11:32:29Z ♥ 1

Nice job, made me smile, nailed it. Maybe you get picked up by one of the top AAA studios as their lead loot-box designer and make a quazilliond dollars! Fun anti-game!

ViKing of Norway by NamInUz 2017-12-10T11:25:33Z ♥ 0

Really nice art style and solid base for a full game, hope you continue working on this! Had a few minor issues but nothing that wasn't mentioned above. Impressive outcome for that short timeframe!

Monuments by Corny 2017-12-10T05:56:58Z ♥ 1

Oh no, they got my king again, damn you bloody traitoooorrs!

Wow. I try to play each game for 5min so I can play a few but I spend way to long on this one :D Fantastic polish and I love the art style. Hope you make this a full game one day mate!

Gods Fate by Vieruz 2017-12-10T05:08:26Z ♥ 0

I was about to write a few points but whilst going through the review I found @ashtrail already nailed it. So... imagine I wrote what ashtrail did ;) Nice job!

Apparently I'm a detective by Hayzar 2017-12-10T05:00:09Z ♥ 2

Very nice style, I like your pixelart a lot! Hope you keep working on this to turn it into a more fully developed game! Impressive what you did on your own in 48h!

As the others already mentioned, controls and click-areas need some work and the plot could be longer/better, but those are basically complains for a full game - for the LD version you did some fantastic work here!

Zombituary by xclementx 2017-12-10T02:27:41Z ♥ 1

Fantastic music - maybe you could try to join a game jam team next time and take care of music only whilst the others do art and programming? No disrespect to your skills, I think you did a great job in the time given, but adding your music skills to a team could turn out to be a fantastic game!

Triage Towers by juxipolo 2017-12-10T02:18:29Z ♥ 0

Wow, fantastic depth for a compo entry - I assume you didn't get any sleep at all? I like the abstract style how patients and staff are being displayed. The animation is a bit off, it would help the game feel a lot if you sync actual movement speed and movement animation. I think you could turn this into a "full" game if you spend a bit more polishing time. Fantastic job!

All Day I Dream About Eyeballs by uvwar 2017-12-10T02:01:15Z ♥ 1

I think this might be the weirdest entry I have played so far - love that the style looks like a 3-year old used MS Paint! Without the bottom screen it would be unplayable I guess but I really enjoyed the weirdness. Never stop being weird! Great job, keep it up!

Greedy Dungeon by daul 2017-12-10T01:51:18Z ♥ 2

Nice style, smooth transitions, cute graphics, fantastic game! As mentioned a few times before, the "attack in the direction you're looking" might not be the best way to go but apart from that I think you have a very good start for a "full" game here! Keep it up guys!

Infected Pong by PhillSerrazina 2017-12-10T01:37:00Z ♥ 1

I hate ads! Now I finally can get rid of them - nice job. Well made little game. Keep it up!

Don't get drunk by tulipekoni 2017-12-10T01:26:31Z ♥ 0

Had too many beers to make it past 30ish - nice idea and cool effect! The jump could be a little bit higher/longer and it took me a bit to understand that I shouldn't hit the red boxes - maybe a few spikes at the front? :) Well done, keep it up!

Hamster Habits by Rongo Matane 2017-08-02T08:36:26Z ♥ 2

Love the graphics and the chance to play a hamster! And doing the dirty stuff at night!

But I am apparently not a good hamster, I died when I was 5 and only had 5 children... I was wondering why they always pass by and end up being skeletons on the right hand side... until I realized I always ate their food completly so they had to starve... poor little ones :(

Great game, well done!

Growing Pains by ctjet99 2017-08-01T08:23:41Z ♥ 2

Hahahaha, fantastic, game of the year at least! Loved every bit of it! Fantastic work guys!

Mad Trax by boats 2017-08-01T06:54:32Z ♥ 3

Very nice tron-style game, great gameplay idea!

Even though it is simple it took me a minute to understand that I have to pick up boxes. And I still don't understand if it is possible to get more energy somehow?

Idea for extension: If you add more resources (like ammunition, cars that create ammunition etc) and zoom out more you could build a train that has a lot of different components that the player needs to setup correctly to work together.

All in all nice game and I really dig the retro-arcade style, well done!

Pickup all the power! by acoto87 2017-08-01T05:23:35Z ♥ 1

Nice puzzle game, I like how I had to pre-think the route he will take before executing it. Unfortunatly ran into a bug half-way through the big area when I pressed P to zoom out, all coins disappeared and I couldnt continue. With a bit of polish this could be a really nice puzzle game, well done!

Automated Explorer by Aircraft Terrier 2017-08-01T05:15:01Z ♥ 1

Just tried to download but my Windows Defender said it contains a virus (which I am sure it doesn't). Are you going to publish as WebGL as well as I would really like to play it?

Zone Slayer by mmason 2017-08-01T04:58:59Z ♥ 2

He, cool game! Love the intro, that is really retro! I managed to kill all zombies (I think) but ran out of energy shortly after. Is there more than one level?

This could be really nice if you just spend another day or two on polishing, e.g. walking and turning at the same time, splatter effects when you kill zombies and all in all just speed up the game (try to set the timescale in Unity to 1.5 and it will feel completly different without changing a line of code).

Thanks for letting me play (and reviewing my PowerLessWorld), keep making games!

Room Number by Ayush Singla 2017-05-02T06:42:46Z ♥ 1

Nice job, well done, I like the style and the puzzles. I had the same box problem in l3, that might need some improvement. :) Nonetheless, fantastic job for the short timeframe and one person, well done!

In Good Hands by simple-blue 2017-05-02T05:48:41Z ♥ 0

Nice game, love the art stlye and the screaming :) Have to admit I tried to kill everyone at first but then everyone got eaten by bears with antlers (?) anyway, made me laugh. Well, I'm a bad person I guess.

Fantastic job in that short timeframe!

Earth, 3568 by BoltKey 2017-05-01T13:57:04Z ♥ 1

Nice game, simple!

Especially the moral decision, do I send a ship into nirvana now to quickly launch the next one as it would take too long to wait for the target planet to be in reach... :)

Keep it up!

This World Of Mine by Wizcas 2017-05-01T13:51:05Z ♥ 1

He, thanks for playing Marbleverse (that's how I got here), nice game you got there! Might need some polish (not the language) as most compo/jam games do but for one guy in 48h from scratch this is very impressive!

I love the cat movement and the very accurate modeling of your face (as I imagine you look like that in real life) :)

But I still couldn't figure out what to do/how to win (I certainly figured out how to lose). I know I can collect stuff and that I can hide but I couldn't find a spot where I should bring all my treasures? Probably I am just stupid.

Great game!

Milky Way by sylvester 2017-05-01T09:14:49Z ♥ 0

He mate, congrats on releasing your first LD game, well done! Keep doing that, I like the idea and the milky way as a road :)

I played it a few times but couldn't get far without dying - it would be cool if you could add some kind of restart button or something to make it easier for people to start again. If you don't know where to start, add a button and attach a script witch a method that does "SceneManager.LoadScene(0)" which will then reload the first scene from your build settings. Will make it easier to test for you too!

Keep making games, well done!

The Deep by GertJohnny 2017-04-28T09:35:45Z ♥ 3

Fantastic job guys! Just played it a while and really love the concept and style! Is it made with Unity?

Nice graphics! Just played it a little but drained mana quickly - any way to recharge?
