LD42 — Running out of space

Johnny's Flipbook Space Adventure by schizoid2k 2018-08-18T04:30:29Z

I love the art style and sound effects! I agree with others that the ship movement could have been a bit better, but otherwise I really enjoyed the game.

Reverse by Goutye 2018-08-18T04:39:54Z

Very nice puzzle mechanic. I thought the earlier levels were a bit too simple, but I also play quite a few puzzle games so take that with a grain of salt. My only suggestion would be to change the "goals" to something that is easier to match with the white/black moving blocks. Maybe making one block a different shape and matching that shape with the spinning goal pieces.

Mindblocked by diptoman 2018-08-15T02:57:15Z

Top notch. I like how each level has a secondary objective in addition to getting to the goal. The game is very polished and I enjoyed the mechanics of this "block pushing" puzzle game.

Excessive 3: Inadequate Space by moonlightbomber 2018-08-18T04:10:19Z

I was expecting something a bit more interactive. Nice story, but I was hoping for a branching story or choice of some kind.

Space Cargo by Apples_mmmmmmmm 2018-08-15T02:38:53Z

I love space trading games! I was hoping to find a way to purchase fuel but either didn't make it to the right planet or it wasn't an option. Nice game and good atmosphere!

GRAVITY by Stellary 2018-08-13T03:07:22Z

I am the destroyer of worlds... My first attempt ended poorly, but after getting the hang of it I found this game satisfying to play.

Merge Machine by matt-tuttle 2018-08-13T03:24:05Z

@oriondark7 I ran out of time but a tutorial would probably help a lot.

@squirmonkey Thanks for the feedback!

@madar-games The screenshot is misleading. I should add a gif to explain the chain reactions a bit better.

Merge Machine by matt-tuttle 2018-08-16T16:14:42Z

@jsmcag Thanks for playing! I agree that the graphics are confusing. I'm not sure what to change it to though.

Merge Machine by matt-tuttle 2018-08-18T04:43:25Z

@endurion Great suggestion! I'm keeping track of the total score secretly, because it's used to unlock pieces, so that would be a simple addition.

Merge Machine by matt-tuttle 2018-08-18T13:13:42Z

@wolderado Interesting idea. I think you are right that not all blocks should pull inward. It makes combos tricky to get past 4 at the moment. Thanks for playing!

Petris by JoshyOshKenoshi 2018-08-13T02:45:41Z

Solid tetris clone. It was cute and fun although the petris sound felt out of place.

A Bunny's Tale by undefinist 2018-08-13T04:33:39Z

Suddenly a clicker game... Cute idea, but not sure I want to keep playing.

Green Cover by Henry Sneed 2018-08-13T02:20:58Z

Neat idea! Placing blocks didn't always work for me either and sometimes they would just disappear (by placing them on other blocks).

*N*X warriors by Stepan Shabalin 2018-08-15T02:25:13Z

The game runs for me but when it gets to the gameplay (green square on screen) I can't seem to do anything. It lets me move left/right but there isn't anything to interact with. I'm on a Mac so that may have something to do with it. Also, Ctrl+Up by default on Mac OS is a keyboard shortcut.

Crumbling Dungeon by JSMCAG 2018-08-16T03:54:04Z

Nice idea and implementation. I really like the aesthetic! I only managed to find one key in several playthroughs. It would be nice to have some way to keep making progress without starting from scratch every time.

The Last Wall by C1FR1 2018-08-15T01:45:34Z

I couldn't get the game to load on my iMac. It looks like textures failed to load? At this point it freezes completely.

Space Equations by FussenKuh 2018-08-15T02:19:09Z

It took me a few minutes to figure out you could click the same number for a problem. I thought it had to be two different numbers so I played on "hard mode" for a while. I like the concept but it showed me how bad I am at doing simple math quickly.

Tight Space by Alex_LemminG 2018-08-18T03:57:57Z

What a great game! A simple mechanic but difficult to master. Adding some audio would really make this shine.

Night Shift by TomekS 2018-08-15T01:42:00Z

This was enjoyable. I think it would have been fine without the time limit. Weaving between forklifts is hard enough!

Gretchen's Head by gamebuilder 2018-08-15T02:12:37Z

Interesting game mechanic. I really wish key repeat was on so I didn't have to keep tapping my keyboard to move. Otherwise, well done!

Kazoete by Lost Dutchman Software 2018-08-16T21:29:51Z

I'm learning Japanese and this is a good refresher. Nicely done! Out of curiosity, who did the music?

grOw by Sokuaisushi 2018-08-18T04:17:23Z

That's one sexy glow shader. I had issues running this on my Mac. The game crashed after the first exit due to "RuntimeError: index out of bounds". It looks like the shaders may not like my gpu.

grOw by Sokuaisushi 2018-08-18T13:09:02Z

@sokuaisushi I tried again on Chrome and was able to finish the game, I think. It was quite fun. The last level was really hard to squeeze through the moving blocks. Nice job!

Totally Slammed by FireHawk 2018-08-15T02:05:00Z

Impressive for a weekend jam! At some point I started panicking and just threw the papers in without stamps while watching my score plummet.

Running out of Space by Gaoyuan Chen 2018-08-13T03:19:43Z

This is fantastic! I love how the tutorial is built into the game. Honestly, I finished the game wanting more.

Desktop Clout! by James Shipp 2018-08-16T04:28:24Z

A bit too much waiting. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the game. I played it twice and finished with a "lot of clout" but the waiting was a bit much. My mouse batteries died in the middle of the game. I had enough time to leisurely get up from my chair, walk to the kitchen, get batteries, walk back, put them in the mouse, and my current "game project" still wasn't made. Otherwise, this was a good game.

Deadly Confines by ParkerDuncan 2018-08-18T04:24:51Z

Great looking game! I didn't know what I was doing on the first wave, but after I figured out how to push back the wall it got better. Well done.

Color Space by Sekwah41 2018-08-15T03:09:02Z

Clever idea! The interaction with different colors is well done and the game was fun to play. It would have been nice to see the whole playing field so I could see where I was aiming.

Running out of Space by tom7 2018-08-13T02:56:16Z

Maybe a bit too clever. Having to play an adventure game in an alien language is a bit much for me. I figured out the verb meanings but didn't have the desire to work out the entire alphabet (letter substitution).

wat do? by nikki93 2018-08-13T02:29:33Z

The moving platform idea is neat. Unfortunately, the levels are a tad too difficult for me. I kept running into the wall on the 3rd or 4th level because the horizontal movement is hyper sensitive.
