LD46 — Keep it alive

Gaia by Rodrigo DenĂșbila 2020-04-22T14:09:50Z

Lovely game, excellent graphics and good soundtrack. Well done :)

IT Thrives by Quarter Up Studios 2020-04-23T15:56:14Z

Really nice game.. Enjoyed it. Well done.

For Ducks' Sake by GaryS 2020-04-22T13:37:05Z

Very fun game.. Those little bast***s :D I just found it difficult to aim without a mouse and only the trackpad.. An alternative i was thinking of was making the gun shoot in the direction your duck is going? But lovely graphics, audio and lots of fun. Well done

MEGABEAN by baconsenpaii 2020-04-23T15:23:58Z

I like the way the bean just goes into chain mode. I don't really get the theme though. Too easy, all you had to do was click 20 times +- and it more or less all you had to do (other than clicking on planting tomato plants, and then wheat fields and so on). Maybe a background music would be nice and a background all together..

Life Plug by JuanJ7 2020-04-22T13:49:30Z

Lovely graphics. I only had the same problem as Snowirbis. I didnt get the first heart and the first person doesn't have enough life to get to another one.. A map would make it so much nicer to play.

Bébert and Gertrude against the Aliens by SylvainPV 2020-04-24T15:40:09Z

CoincĂ©e trois fois sur l'Ă©cran de dĂ©marrage, jai finalement su rentrer dans le jeux. Graphiquement parlant, top top! Un truc que vous pouvez peut-ĂȘtre ajouter c'est qu'on peut taper avec la touche 1 et que le dynamite est sur la touche 4.. Jai appuyer sur toute les numĂ©ros pour voir comment utiliser ca. Je trouve que le mouton peut aussi avoir un petit plus de vie et peut-ĂȘtre pas aller vers les enemies (le jeux termine beaucoup trop rapidement). Voila un petit peu de ce que jai remarquĂ©. Mais en tout BRAVO a toute l'Ă©quipe ;)

PollUFO by OddSocks 2020-04-24T16:01:57Z

Nice game. Found it a shame that you couldn't take any damage (I see you answer this question above already). Would have been much harder. (Maybe have a little shop where you can upgrade your guns), I loved the idea with the trees and the points deduction (even though I had burnt a few hehe). I found the game a little too easy and managed to do it with just the Lazer (completely forgot there were missiles even). But well done considering your timing ;)

Fill Up Yum Yum's Tum Tum by SassyKeys 2020-04-21T13:09:48Z

Loved the graphics, sound and the theme. Well done :D

Both or Nothing by victor_reiner 2020-04-21T12:26:15Z

All in all I tried testing my luck to see if I could keep myself alive and not give food to the fire as its a waste ;) It only lasted until day 6 I think. I would have preferred having more options where you would have more difficulty choosing between who you want to feed. It was pretty obvious in most cases.. Artwork was also very nice (well done to Shubi). This is one of the most aesthetically pleasing games I have played so far..

DON`T DIE STAY ALIVE! by PenguinBob 2020-04-22T20:41:20Z

Nice and simple game. 144 was my record. A bit of a shame that the wooden part of the spear kills you as you get trapped in some corners.. Graphics were a little too simple (a more detailed penguin would have been nice). But definitely a game that gets you to want to carry on playing.. Well done

Struthio Camelus by tw00 2020-04-23T14:57:08Z

@guille Thank you for the feedback. Its true we could have put the instructions to protect your egg on the front page. We will add it in after the jam.

@sofy35 @landosystems @homunculusgames @whomakeworse @neuronezero @drums @rodrigo-denubila Thank you very much for the feedback. Glad you all enjoyed it.

@paulhocker We will consider maybe shortening it (or making it a little more intense ;)

@aguahervida Thank you. A small glitch we have to fix hehe

Struthio Camelus by tw00 2020-04-23T15:25:28Z

@guille Ah I am glad you enjoyed. Hope you reached the elephant ;)

Struthio Camelus by tw00 2020-04-24T15:02:32Z

@thecrancher Thank you very much for all the feedback and the stream :) Will take some of your points into concepts we can work on afterwards. @erebus Thank you for playing it and for the feed back. glad you enjoyed it. @fatsheep Thank you for the feedback and the stream. Glad you enjoyed the game.. As said on the chat, we will look into the glitch with the ostrich going sideways ;).

Struthio Camelus by tw00 2020-04-27T13:31:55Z

@muchobestostudio Thanks for the positive feedback. We will be updating the animals in post LD. I agree with you on the duration of the game, once enemies are updated I am sure it will be a lot harder and you won't realise the time go by. The egg and the brick is something to be fixed too ;).

@trexxak Thank you for the feedback as well as the heads up. @tw00 Updated the files as he mentioned above ;)

@oddsocks Nothing better than a bird needing drugs to protect her little Struthio ;). Thanks for the positive feedback and glad you enjoyed it a lot :D

Gerald's dog by Ikrad 2020-04-23T12:35:05Z

I didn't get how to get coins. Would have been nice to have a little bit of info on what to do with the bones. I used most of my bones on the first time I fed it.. when walking with the dog it took me a few tries to understand that you had to dodge the others. With the different options you can buy in the store it would be good to know what their benefits are (if that makes sense (for example does the sleeping pill give you full health again ?) As mentioned above, it might be better to have the bars of what the dog and player need always visible ? Graphics where a little too simple for me (might have been better if the background was a darker background. I hope this makes sense ;)

tiriplici by Trexxak 2020-04-24T16:25:46Z

Great concept. That toaster was going in all directions.. had to move the fridge a lot to find the toaster again! I found the toaster could be going a little slower. Also maybe a small map ? I was just going through the maze hoping I didn't have to come back.. Other than that.. Very nice game and graphics very very cool ;)

Keep it Alive : Gate Crusher by Robert Meder 2020-04-21T12:55:19Z

The first few rounds were going great.. until suddenly the whole game glitched (html version). There were no more boundaries (stayed stuck on the outside, the audio going monotone). I tried dying on purpose to restart but that didn't help either.. Stayed stuck... Would have been nice to have a few different gates when going faster.. Nice and simple graphics.. Addictive it is ;)

Evolve by Ecrush11989 2020-04-24T15:24:00Z

I find the games needs a little more explanation (you get three options of which two are more or less the same (what is better?). Would have been nice to have a few graphics (any animal). Found quite a few spelling mistakes (don't know if this was on purpose or not example Thirstey instead of thirsty), I found it hard to read the text on the blue background. Audio became quite annoying after the fourth time trying the game..

Keep our planet alive by Tengii 2020-04-22T13:23:35Z

Graphics are good, would have been much nicer to have had the astrides coming in faster. You start getting bored after 20 (my feeling). When i died i didnt want to try again..

The Dark Cave by Tom Stephenson 2020-04-22T12:08:56Z

Graphics on point. I didnt get how we could get more stones, and how to kill the spider , maybe a small introductionary video or a few keypoints would have been nice.. But none the least, a well nice game. Well done ;)
