LD46 — Keep it alive

Hearth by rubentipparach 2020-04-23T09:44:58Z

I love the aesthetic and creepy mood of the game ! For improvements, you could add more feedback on firing the gun and explosions. Well done !

Angst by Silas Reinagel 2020-04-23T11:06:13Z

I love this concept and take on the theme, the mood gives me celeste-vibes. The game is well polished and the team did a great job in all aspects of the game ! Excellent job !

Etiolation by ankou 2020-04-23T21:43:49Z

I really liked the level and puzzle design. Audio lacked a bit but a great game overall !

For Ducks' Sake by GaryS 2020-04-23T14:41:19Z

Really fun and addictive ! I like the polish you added like the animation at the end and the different game over messages

The Seeker by GeorgeBroussard 2020-04-23T13:06:45Z

Solid concept, really nice art and sfx. I liked the challenge. Maybe the game could use some checkpoints ? If you make a post-jam version, you could also add more environments for replayability. Very well done !

Battery Life by fazz 2020-04-23T12:11:37Z

I really enjoy the atmosphere of the game, well done ! I think the game is a bit hard and need some balancing. The ZQSD control scheme is a nice touch for azerty users !

Good job !

Holy Plague by Adrien Dittrick 2020-04-23T12:14:36Z

Cool, polished art style. I really like your take on the "Keep it alive" theme, good job !

Wanted: Alive! by Dan Colman 2020-04-23T09:23:01Z

I love your take on the theme and the Audio, it's fun and I think you have a great base to built upon !

Leap Of Faith by ryan123rudder 2020-04-24T11:01:25Z

Fun little game, with more polish it could become a successful mobile game.For improvements, you could add differents fish types with different physics and a way for humans to interact with the player. Also it was a bit hard at first to see where I could enter the houses. Good job !

ROBOY by DoctorMozart 2020-04-23T12:25:01Z

I like this concept, the combat system could use some rework in a post-jam version (maybe dead cells inspired combat ?)

I think you have a great base to built upon ! I also liked the level design and roboy's character design

Medically Inaccurate by Emperor Eagle 2020-04-25T08:37:30Z

Fun game ! I like the core mechanic of trading your life for the heart's live. I enjoyed the music, sound effect and color palette of the game. I think you have a solid gameplay loop and should try to focus on level design and replayability for a post-jam version. Well done :)

a plant called martha by Tetralogia 2020-04-23T10:03:02Z

Very relaxing game, I love the cuteness of it. Some interactions with Martha were really funny

Some idea for improvements - Maybe a different font for dialogs, I felt like it was not fitting very well with the art style - More indications about how to progress

Otherwise well executed idea !

Volty's Quest by Casey Macneil 2020-04-23T12:44:19Z

The polishing amount on this game is astonishing, great game overall ! I like how you explored many different ideas around the core mechanics of your game, well done !

Hungy Hungy Dwagons by cheesepencil 2020-04-24T10:18:24Z

Simple and effective gameplay loop. I like how precise you can be with the fireballs. An enemy type with a range attack that you can block with the dragon's body or "cook" with your fireballs could be a good addition. Well done !

platformEGG by Tricky_Fat_Cat 2020-04-23T10:58:32Z

Love the graphics and the polish is really good. The game is a bit hard tho

Great job overall !

Save The President by elq 2020-04-23T15:08:02Z

Really funny and original game. Nice job !

It Lives by Sbug 2020-04-23T14:25:01Z

Really creative take on the theme. The lighting system is amazing !

Remember, Apollo by AdamCYounis 2020-04-23T11:01:16Z

This game is gorgeous ! Really innovative storytelling. For a game made in 48h, it is really impressive !

Keep It Alive (didn't find a better title, ah) by ThomasLebel 2020-04-23T17:27:40Z

I really liked the wind spell it feels really good to play around with ! Also liked the 4 elements idea but maybe that's more personal haha Good job !

Defend the King by hastro 2020-04-23T11:55:31Z

The art is nice for a game made in 48h ! The UI is also a nice polish touch. To improve the game, I think you could add a shield or any other way for the player to defend itself. The game is hard, but I had fun playing it, good job !

Don't taste the lava by mira 2020-04-23T17:37:39Z

Great level design and mix of the theme and tetris ! The puzzles were kinda hard haha. Good job !

Last Healer by MoonRoll 2020-04-23T13:11:04Z

The art is great ! Maybe the game could use more feedback and juice in a post-jam version. I think you have a great base to built upon, well done !

Save the Fish by Duck Reaction 2020-04-23T10:22:05Z

The art and polish are really good Very fun game, well done !

Elementrees by Mathieu Semin 2020-04-23T13:17:20Z

@fazz You guessed it right ! All art was drawn by hand using a graphics tablet and aseprite. Thanks for the feedback !

Elementrees by Mathieu Semin 2020-04-23T13:19:52Z

@sheepycrunch We were trying to achieve an intense gameplay style, glad it translated well haha. Sound effects were recorded but we did not have enough time to implement it. Thanks for your feedback, we will think about it for a post-jam version of the game !

Elementrees by Mathieu Semin 2020-04-23T13:20:30Z

@lorwon Haha merci beaucoup !

Elementrees by Mathieu Semin 2020-04-23T13:50:46Z

@wakobu Oui tout est de nous ! Les graphistes ont travaillé de manière acharnée haha

Merci beaucoup pour le feedback c'est noté pour l'équilibrage

Elementrees by Mathieu Semin 2020-04-23T14:07:46Z

@achiru Merci beaucoup c'est noté ! We'd also like to change the control scheme for a future version haha

Elementrees by Mathieu Semin 2020-04-23T14:21:36Z

@jajo Thanks for the feedback man !

Elementrees by Mathieu Semin 2020-04-24T10:05:27Z

@detkakorben thanks for the feedback ! We actually had all sfx recorded or created with bfxr but we did not have enough time to implement them hahaha. I agree for the guitar solos. Between waves, they should be lowered in the mix

Elementrees by Mathieu Semin 2020-04-24T17:52:06Z

@eran-haas Thanks for feedback ! The indicators are planned for a post-jam version of the game

@hornicar Thanks ! Feedback noted, we will think about what you've said when working of the new version of the game design document

Elementrees by Mathieu Semin 2020-04-25T08:53:43Z

@marbles @spirits @emperor-eagle @khaoz-fang @grandtheftmarmot @lungtakumi @junebug Thank you for the feedback !

@jordantanner 1 person in the team uses the QWERTY layout but everyone else uses AZERTY keyboards. Thanks for the feedback !

Elementrees by Mathieu Semin 2020-04-25T14:48:07Z

@pandanym Merci beaucoup ! On vient de différentes écoles : Télécom Saint Étienne, le Lycée Marie Curie option animation et le lycée de la Communication option audio-visuelle. Notre équipe est assez hétérogène haha

Elementrees by Mathieu Semin 2020-04-25T15:42:13Z

@tom-robson thanks for this awesome detailed feedback ! We have planned to polish the game post-jam, sfx and juice are our main priority

Elementrees by Mathieu Semin 2020-04-25T16:02:06Z

@gamer-fates Thanks ! We did not really counted our hours of sleep over the weekend haha

Ball Monster by marrero171 2020-04-23T16:57:00Z

A bit challenging, I think you could add some checkpoints ! Otherwise good job !

S.L.I.M.E.S. Division by Yoshify 2020-04-23T14:59:43Z

Really nice and fun game ! The polish is good and the graphics too. I think you nailed the controls of the missile. Great job overall !

Embers by CaptainAbi 2020-04-23T10:15:58Z

Nice relaxing mood ! The audio and sfx are amazing For improvements, maybe you could add more feedback for the fire and animations for picking up and dropping wood logs

Good job !

Inverted Dungeon Crawler by PoeticMonkey 2020-04-23T17:46:27Z

I'd really like to see this game becoming a full fleshed out game. Some suggestions : - A life bar for the hero - A clear way of seeing what the hero objective is - A way to switch between camera view - Different hero types / behaviours

Really interesting concept and take on the theme, as you must keep the dungeon alive. Good job !

The Blaze by nithman 2020-04-23T17:16:46Z

I like the game idea, I think you could improve it further and maybe adapt it to mobile ? The wind sound effect is nice and the fire stopping bullets makes sense from a balancing point of view, so that the player has to move to kill the enemies coming from the sides. Nice job !

Shah by William Steve 2020-04-23T17:00:24Z

Good chess-like idea for this jam. I think you have an solid base to built upon !

Stand Still by Draelent 2020-04-23T16:52:37Z

Fun little game, a bit tough. Good gameplay mechanic idea !

Cubic Currency by notpjriavs 2020-04-23T09:53:49Z

Good job ! Great mood and engaging game
