LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

St. Orchint's Orphanage by Double Zero One Zero 2015-12-16T20:33:00

Love this game! The letters and newspaper articles really flesh out the backstory! Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing more of your work!

DESEEDER by Zanzlanz 2015-12-16T20:36:00

Wow - this is one of the most polished endless games I've seen this Ludum Dare so far! I love the sound effects and the dynamic camera shake when you destroy objects. Keep up the good work - I look forward to seeing more of your work!

Run for shelter by psychomonster 2015-12-14T20:20:00

I really like this little game's simple aesthetic and retro sound-effects. The sheltering mechanic when standing in front of buildings is a cool addition and I love the inclusion of the Wilson scream when NPCs die!

Tamám Shud by LBUncleJoe 2015-12-15T21:50:00

Wow, what a heavy game! It's good to see another narrative based game out there, especially one as polished and simply effective as yours! I look forward to playing more of your games - keep up the good work!

No One Can Hear You Honk in Space by ShellfishGames 2015-12-14T21:48:00

Hard Decisions by vortex 2015-12-14T20:11:00

Awesome little text-based game! I really like the UI and the way the text appears gradually on the terminal screen.

Growdom by Wevel 2015-12-14T18:12:00

Moderately moist. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Honourable East India Company by MattThePie 2015-12-14T20:24:00

Nice idea for a game, but unfortunately it's quite confusing! The death sound-effect made me jump when it suddenly sounded as well! Good job though.

It's Something by RougeRogue 2015-12-16T11:02:00

Looks can be deceiving - the game was actually very fun! I liked the funky fresh beats!

Nice arty experience.

Dendrite by bitdecaygames 2015-12-15T21:02:00

What a fun game! The graphics and animations are really nice, and it's always nice to see another game bringing back split-screen gaming! Unfortunately the direction of the race was a bit confusing, but in a strange way that added to the chaotic fun! Keep up the good work - I look forward to seeing more of your projects!

Plantown by ChrisAntem 2015-12-15T21:17:00

Really nice graphics and a cool idea! It took a while to figure out, but once I understood the game, it was really fun! Keep up the good work!

Jeff is having issues controlling his appetite by Ittai Manero 2015-12-15T20:48:00

SLUG STORM by Niels.Tiercelin 2015-12-16T20:02:00

Fun little game! I think if the flying was a bit more physics-based it would have felt a lot smoother to play, but otherwise it was a fun game overall! Keep up the good work!

Klangwelt by retraffic 2015-12-16T10:46:00

Nice little game, made some sick beats! Keep up the good work!

KRMENI by Zulgot 2015-12-15T21:07:00

Nice little game! I loved the way the fire and ice spewed out randomly, the graphics were pretty nice and the soundtrack overall was really good! Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing more work from you!

Chaotic Potato by drinkadriu 2015-12-14T18:55:00

Brilliant little game! I had a lot of fun with it. The only let-down is the annoying jump-noise, but it's not a big problem. Good work!

Rage, Grow, Profit by Catblocker 2015-12-14T20:03:00

Nice little idea for a game. Becomes slightly tedious by having to wander around for a long time before finding all of the objects though!

Abyssal Zone by Leddev 2015-12-15T21:09:00

Would it be possible to publish a web or windows build? The screenshots look brilliant and I really want to give it a play!

Cell growth by vulcain 2015-12-15T09:41:00

Cool idea for a game. Like the scientific aspect of it! Took a while to understand, but it was pretty fun. Good work.

2-Eyes-Only Bar by Grey_Kruzhok 2015-12-15T09:47:00

The Climbers by NirabazGAMES 2015-12-16T21:13:00

Brilliant little game, love the gameplay mechanics - it's also a lot of fun to play with a friend! Keep up the good work!

never go back by mastersams 2015-12-15T11:47:00

I got the game working, but I'm sorry to say it's just not very good :P. I noticed your sprite was a bit blurry - you can try turning off the compression for that sprite to make it clearer :D. The humour was quite funny, and overall I think it's a fun little game. You have potential so keep working at it!

Ludum Dare 34 Winner by TeamLD34W 2015-12-15T17:13:00

Interesting little game you made! I like the gravity-change mechanic, it's really unique. Also, welcome to Ludum Dare! I look forward to seeing another of your games!

Famous Bus Movie Game by BuffaloPhil 2015-12-15T21:32:00

Cool little game. Keep up the good work!

Lycan Trail by Souperstrawer 2016-04-18T17:15:00

Really cool game! The background art and gameplay are utterly fantastic, I only feel that the werewolf sprites and UI let it down a little bit (but hey, it's Ludum Dare).

Keep up the fantastic work!

Thomas was a shape by pta2002 2016-04-18T17:09:00

I'm a big fan of Thomas was Alone and your game certainly hits that high note! My only qualm is that it's very short (and doesn't have a majestic narrating voice) :P

Keep up the good work!

The Night Shift by silkworm_sweatshop 2016-04-18T19:54:00

Utterly hilarious and awesome, unique gameplay... FIVE STARS!

The game looks awesome, but it crashes when I try to launch the .jar :P

Cool little game. Keep up the good work!

Miss Turner's Magical Pet Swap Shop by Rose 2016-04-18T19:45:00

Keep up the amazing work!

Keep up the good work!

Nice little puzzle platformer. Keep up the good work!

Nice little game! Keep up the good work!

The Cold Cabin by Evgiz 2016-12-12T23:43:00

Really, really cool little game, I loved it! I thought it was 2D until the camera spun around, and it sort of blew my mind!

Keep up the great work!

SpaceBeaver by OWC 2016-12-13T23:01:00

Really cool game! Love the graphics and the gameplay is super awesome too. Would be nicer with some sweet gun-shooty sound effects but at least there's some great music! Keep up the good work!

Conștiență by Uliana Galich 2016-12-13T17:37:00

Cool little game with a great atmosphere! very melancholy and a bit creepy. The ending comes a bit suddenly, but it's a great plot-twist! Keep up the good work!

Death Room 4000 by DalesDiscountTires 2016-12-13T11:02:00

Nice little game, very hard and super addictive! Keep up the good work!

General Room by jeroenwimmers 2016-12-13T22:47:00

Furiouser by Jyrkface 2016-12-13T22:56:00

Nice little game, although the movement seems a bit off. Really nice audio and effects, keep up the good work!

Keyhole by Gord10 2016-12-13T18:46:00

Nice game! The spooky atmosphere definitely comes across strongly, it had me on edge the whole time. There are a few typos but other than that it's really, really good, keep up the good work!

RoomOne by Geckoo1337 2016-12-12T20:21:00

Really nice little game! I love the graphics (especially the little wireframe birds) and the platformer puzzles are really fun. Keep up the good work!

Production Room by Wevel 2016-12-12T23:30:00

Hey, that's pretty good! Quite slow, but I love the floating egg-people. Keep up the good work!

Ghouls by roban101 2016-12-12T19:55:00

Sleep Well by vini60 2016-12-12T22:49:00

Really cool game with a nicely innovative mechanic! Really smoothly executed with a nice overall theme. Keep up the good work!

Out of interest, what engine did you use to make this?

I have no idea what's going on, but I love it! Cool little atmospheric simulation. Really like the music, keep up the good work!

Coincidence by Simple Ghost 2016-12-12T20:03:00

The Shifting Room by Max Amaden 2016-12-12T23:32:00

Delectable game as usual.

Alchemist's Prison by Max Amaden 2017-05-14T15:39:30Z

@devpaul Thanks for the feedback! There's a good chance I'll end up using some of your suggestions in the future :)

Abaddon by Geckoo1337 2017-05-11T16:43:37Z

Really nice game! Fun, fast gameplay, nicely polished, and the public leaderboard is an awesome touch.

As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't really matter if it's similar to another game; you should be proud that you managed to pull off such a great technical feat in such a small amount of time - that's what Ludum Dare's all about!

All in all, really love your game... and I wish I could make shaders as well as you can ;)

**Keep up the good work!**

Near kingdoms by Hadik 2017-05-01T13:12:39Z

Great little game, really quite addictive! I remember playing a flash game that's a lot like this.

Anyway, keep up the good work! :D

Party in Buntingville by hectigo 2017-05-07T15:21:00Z

Certainly one of the most unique games I've played from Ludum Dare! I really like the combination of looking carefully for disappointed guests and running around, balancing them between tables. The music is also really nice! My only downside of this game is that in one of the levels (the third or the fourth one I think?) you get mobbed by two or three geese at once, which can be a bit frustrating :P

**Keep up the good work!**

Neuroso by gamechoy 2017-05-11T16:31:54Z

Wow, I'm really quite blown away by this game. It's often very hard to find a Ludum Dare game with a good story, but this one definitely fits the bill! I was very immersed by the dialogue, the atmosphere was superb, the character design was brilliant, and the music was absolutely incredible. This is easily one of my favourite Ludum Dare games that I've ever played, and I've been doing this for a few years now!

That said, I felt there were a couple of things you could do to improve it. Firstly, the artwork was very nice, but it looks a bit odd if you resize the sprites so that the pixels are different sizes compared to other objects in the scene. Also, the lack of punctuation and grammar in the dialogue can sometimes be a bit irksome, and could potentially be a lot more emotionally-fueled with good use of it.

But these are just little things, and should make you no less proud of creating such a phenomenal Ludum Dare game. **Keep up the fantastic work!**

*PS: What program did you use to make the music?*

Prison Blues by Drury 2017-05-01T13:04:46Z

Great little game! Love the artwork and the writing, really kept me hooked. Keep up the good work!

Small World Collider by tylerraz 2017-05-11T16:54:59Z

It's certainly a classic type of game, but you pull it off rather well! Breakout-like games tend to be quite a bloated and unoriginal market, but I think yours definitely has enough fun new mechanics to pull it together quite nicely.

That said, there are a couple of improvements I would suggest to you: Firstly, as PowerSpark mentioned, this game would be super fun if two people could play at once. Secondly, I would suggest that you try making some pixel artwork for your next game - it's really quite easy to do, and can make your game look far more professional!

**Keep up the good work!**

Shrinking Planet by Brackeys 2017-05-02T21:33:11Z

Really awesome game! I absolutely love the jaunty music and the peaceful little planet. The grass looks super cool and I think you actually did a really good job with that car model ;)

Keep up the good work, I think you're on track to be a #1 winner this Ludum Dare! :D

Blocknauts! by EndlessPlumber 2017-05-07T14:55:03Z

Really nice little game! It's got a fun little atmosphere, it looks really nice, and it definitely fits the theme really well. As other people have mentioned before, the controls are a little wonky, but otherwise it's a really good game. Keep up the good work!

Murder Mitosis by _for_science 2017-05-11T22:35:53Z

Really awesome game, wish I had the chance to play it with some of my friends! Love the idea; it's incredibly unique and provides plenty of different strategies for winning a match. The graphics are nice and the little nanobots have lots of character to them. The gameplay is also spot-on and the controls are tight.

All in all I really can't find any criticisms here... I think you have the potential to make #1 this Ludum Dare ;) **Keep up the good work!**

The Wonky Wizard by MHGameWork 2017-05-11T16:48:01Z

The game looks really nice, and I'm sure it's a lot of fun to play... but I'm afraid that I can't move my character! Pressing WASD or the arrow keys doesn't appear to do anything...

Let me know if you find out what the problem is, I'd love to play it! :)

Force of Nature by spelos 2017-05-07T15:03:18Z

I really liked this little game, it's got a nice little atmosphere and the hand-drawn artwork looks really quite fantastic. It can be a bit hard to get the hang of at first, and getting people to do what you want them to do can be quite a challenge, but it quickly becomes a really fun game :)

**Keep up the good work!**

Note: You misspelled 'Cthulhu' in the instructions at the top-right of the screen ;)

The Inner Lock by EveningWayward 2017-05-01T13:22:09Z

Such a great atmosphere you've created! I jumped a couple of times when the glass smash noise was really loud XD I really like the way that the features are presented slowly as you make your way around the room. My only complaint is that it's sometimes quite hard/impossible to read some of the writing that shows up.

Keep up the good work :D

Skylets by Dink_Dunk 2017-05-01T14:41:54Z

Very cool game. It's always impressive to see how you always gravitate towards the centre of the planet. The dialogue that each of the aliens speaks to you is also very entertaining. I got 84 resources in the end. :)

Keep up the good work! :D

Tiny Terraformer by Wheffle 2017-05-11T17:22:38Z

Really nice game! The idea is really unique and I think you pulled it off exceptionally well! It's really fun to play, if a bit slow, and it's incredibly satisfying to see your little planet grow and develop from a barren rock into a grassy paradise.

My only suggestion for improvement would be the music. I understand that time is short, but if you added in just one more instrument, like a violin or a drum, it would have been far more intersting to listen to. But that's just a small thing, so don't worry about it too much :)

Overall, definitely one of my favourite games this Ludum Dare. **Keep up the good work!**

FREEDUMB! by Brothers Arcade 2017-05-11T17:00:25Z

Fun game! A little hard to figure out at the beginning, but once you get rolling it's really quite fun!

As Clickmation said, the noise when you click on the map is a bit too high-pitched, but other than that I really don't have any critiques.

**Keep up the good work!**

Cell Battles by Wevel 2017-07-31T18:14:29Z

Why is this game so addictive?

The castle by Tero Pulkkinen 2017-07-31T20:45:36Z

It's a bit of a shame that there's nothing to do, but I'm still very impressed that you managed to put together your own engine in such a short time, so good job!

You should probably remove yourself from the audio category by the way, seeing as there isn't any audio :P

Anyway, keep up the good work! I hope to see you next Ludum Dare! :)

Power Surge by danielilett 2017-07-31T20:25:50Z

Still can't see a link :P

Escape From Planet Poop by DankyPants 2017-07-31T20:52:34Z

This game is oddly fun and pushing the poop into the fuel chutes is strangely satisfying.

Nice job, and keep up the good work! :)

Defend Home: Mars by sgt3v 2017-07-31T20:58:35Z

Nice job on the game! It's quite simple, yet feels very polished and satisfying to play. Oddly enough, my favourite bit of the game is the HUD design -- it's just so smooth and professional-looking, I really like it :P

Keep up the good work, I hope to see you around for another Ludum Dare! :)

Cyberhell Cleaner by EricQuagmire 2017-07-31T21:30:37Z

Really, really good game. The sprites are absolutely beautiful and well-animated, the music is awesome, and the gameplay is sublime.

I don't have much else to say about it, other than nice job -- and keep up the good work! :)

Digit Commando by Wispeh 2017-07-31T18:24:47Z

A surprisingly solid game, in my opinion -- I had a lot of fun playing it!

The gameplay mechanics were simple, yet polished, and using the numpad to type in the recharge codes was unexpectedly fun. (I think more games should use the numpad, it's really interesting control scheme :P)

My only criticism would be that it's a little on the easy side. I think making the power bar a bit smaller would fix this, since you would need to do the reload minigame more often, and it would really push the player's skills to the limit :)

Keep up the good work, I hope to see you again next Ludum Dare! :)

rop by cyfixus 2017-07-31T21:21:48Z

It's definitely an interesting game with some unique core mechanics. I feel like if the coding was a bit more polished, it could certainly be at the top of the leaderboards this time!

That said, it's still a pretty good game, and I had a lot of fun playing it. Keep up the good work! :)

Charged Up by reecer9714 2017-07-31T17:34:12Z

A surprisingly solid game, it's really quite fun to play!

The weapon felt really satisfying to fire, and destroying enemies with it was a lot of fun. My favourite thing about this game has to be the dog enemies -- their running animation was really smooth and nice to look at.

Some of the graphics seemed a bit odd, like the core having strangely smooth, un-pixelated lines, but other than that I don't really have anything to complain about!

Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing what you make next!

Indie Power-Up Supply Co. by marekkpie 2017-07-31T20:41:21Z

The game uses a simple yet time-tested puzzle that's both interesting and entertaining to solve. The little back-story and theme you've got going on is the icing on the cake -- it's really quite funny and unique, I love it!

Overall, the only improvement I can think of is fixing the wonky click-to-place interface.

Good job, and keep up the good work! :)

Power Core by AugusteTheClown 2017-08-09T23:33:43Z

A fun little game, and a good job for being made in such a short time.

That said, there are certainly a few things that could be done to improve it. The most important and simple to fix of these is the spawn-rate of the enemies. There needs to be some kind of curve so that the game becomes progressively more difficulty. It would also be nice to see the enemies taking more hits to kill the further you progress.

On another note, the control scheme is a bit of a pain to use. I know you posted exactly the opposite on my game, but you could really benefit from using a mouse-based control scheme! It would make playing feel a lot more flexible and far less clunky because you would be able to accurately change your direction in an instant.

Now, I know you also wrote the opposite for this as well on my game, and I guess it's simply a matter of taste, but I feel that your game could also easily benefit from an *'exposition dump'*. Context in a game can make even the simplest of gameplay mechanics and graphics mean infinitely more -- leading to a more satisfying, fantastical, and enjoyable experience for the player. For example, you could just be mindlessly killing monsters, or you could be hero saving an ailing kingdom from a scourge of murderous goblins... given the right context ;)

All in all, despite all my criticism I really did enjoy the game, and I feel like it could certainly be one of the best this jam if you had spent more than 8 hours on it :)

Keep up the good work -- I hope to see you around next Ludum Dare!

The Wiz by Michael Feldman 2017-07-31T21:10:58Z

Really quite a strange game. The colours, the music and the ambiguous storyline make it all feel like some kind of fever-dream -- not that that's a bad thing.

I had a lot of fun just soaking up the atmosphere for this one, it was certainly a very interesting experience. My only real complaint is that the ending feels quite disappointing. A little picture to show what happens next would be nice, but I understand you probably didn't have enough time for something like that.

Anyway, nice job on the game. Keep up the good work! :)

Maze Escape by Akerspoket 2017-07-31T20:17:08Z

This game is really rather good in my opinion. The atmosphere was phenomenal with the haunting background music and the incredibly unsettling clicking of the monster's legs constantly reminding you that you're not alone.

That said, I agree with the others: the game definitely needs a HUD or some kind of visual indicator of how much light you have left. I also think that the occasional squealing noise is a bit unnecessary, and actually serves to break the immersion a bit.

I feel like your game could also do with a bit of graphical flair. You should check out the latest official Unity post-processing stack -- it's super easy to use and with a bit of tweaking can make everything look a whole lot better with effects like motion-blur, bloom, chromatic aberration and the like. Check out a few examples here.

Anyway, keep up the good work. I hope I see you around next Ludum Dare as well! :)

AI Overlord Runaway by Agecaf 2017-07-31T19:58:22Z

A really interesting game, there's definitely a lot to it. I don't think I ever fully grasped the mechanics, but I definitely enjoyed myself!

The powers were a nice touch (reverse time was easily my favourite), and the story was pretty interesting and unique, even though I never got to end. The best part of the game has to be the music though -- it's rare to see music of that quality in a decent Ludum Dare compo game. Good job!

Overall, my only suggestion for improvement would be clearer instructions on some of the more complicated gameplay mechanics. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see a project from you next Ludum Dare! :)

The Path of Wonder by Enot487 2017-07-31T21:16:11Z

I didn't expect this game to be so fun until I started playing it! The potion brewing mechanic is a very interesting hook that keeps you on your toes throughout the game, and the music and graphics are pretty damn good as well.

My only complaint is that I didn't realise that the potion recipe had changed, so a little message or some kind of audio/visual cue to tell you that the recipe has changed would be a nice addition.

Anyway, nice job on the game. Keep up the good work! :)

LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Rise Of Corruption by Wevel 2017-12-05T03:46:27Z

Game of the year, every year. Also don't make a strategy game next time.

Rot 24/7 by jsqrs 2017-12-05T03:27:22Z

I don't really understand what exactly happened in your game, but it was an interesting experience.

Nice mood and interesting character development. Keep up the good work!

LD53 — Delivery

Cave Couriers by Wevel 2023-05-01T19:16:12Z

Fun!! I scored up to about $1500 before quitting out. Always taking the least rewarding delivery seems to consistently keep you alive with an easy-ish route. Love the ASCII graphics, the post-processing and little jiggle animations really make the visuals pop despite their simplicity! I'm eager to see you make a game in this style but with more mechanics!! c:

Terror in transit by tinykidtoo 2023-05-01T20:02:31Z

"YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!"

I had a lot of fun with this game! It's a surprisingly strong foundation for a stealth game with the hiding spots, the noise-making patches, distractions etc. I was surprised!

The voice acting was a lot of fun, it got a smile out of me. *Especially* the guards.

The drone mechanic was really neat! It has a lot of potential I think, but I found it unnecessary to use. It also broke on the second level because of the ceiling.

Really great little game though, I enjoyed it! Would've loved to play a third level. Keep up the great work!! :D

Rotting Hood's De-liver-y Service by Kyle Farwell 2023-05-20T12:33:07Z

Really great entry!! I enjoyed this little game. Keep up the great work!! :grin:

Package Chaos by GlacierEclipse 2023-05-18T22:24:16Z

'Chaos' is about right! Honestly it was really fun to see everything move around, I had a good time with this one!!

I'm loving the pixel art by the way, it's simple but clear and cute! More than gets the job done :smiley:

Keep up the great work!

Tough Crowd by Apple Dash 2023-05-18T23:21:51Z

I LOVE the funny egg man!

Honestly though, that's one of my big takeaways from this little game. I can't put my finger on it, but the design of the stupid comedian guy lives rent-free in my head.

Really enjoyed the game, I'm looking forward to your next project! Keep up the awesome work!! :grin:

The Infinite Delivery Machine by Steve Sparkes 2023-05-18T22:31:52Z

This is a pinnacle example of a Ludum Dare entry... VERY impressive work in such short time, I found myself playing for a good 20 minutes or so! I'm actually a bit in awe that you managed to make it proc-gen all within the Jam period :open_mouth: (and maybe a little bit jealous...)

Also I'd like to shout out the art! It's so simple, yet feels so fresh and clear and really gets the job done. Excellent work on that!!

Keep up the great work!! :grin:

Tiny dropshipping by chispaLBC 2023-05-18T23:08:52Z

Really fun time, and very interesting idea! To the best of my knowledge, a unique one too! I had a lot of fun with this, planning all of the routes was oddly relaxing and I really vibed with it. I was quite impressed with the level of polish, too!

I had a good time with this little game, and I look forward to seeing what you make next! Keep up the great work!! :grin:

Wrath of Joey Bob, son of Garharanth by jandourek 2023-05-01T19:30:12Z

Fun!! Getting the truck rolling and then hanging on for dear life was excellent. I didn't get far enough to see if the shotgun ever came into it. It reminded me a bit of Little Big Planet, which is great!

Minor nitpicks are that WASD should allow you to move, and having to load the boxes onto the vehicle every time was a bit tedious. Other than that, loads of fun - thanks for making it!

Keep up the great work :D

Skypost by Josh Bothun 2023-05-18T23:12:11Z

I LOVED this!! I'm always impressed when someone does a solid, open 3D environment in a Ludum Dare entry. I was certainly not disappointed! I loved wandering about to deliver the letters, and I found myself exploring a lot more than I thought I would. You made quite a captivating little setting for this project :grin:

Keep up the awesome work, I'm looking forward to what you make next! Good luck!! :smile:

Magic Parcel Service by Gatlink 2023-05-01T19:33:56Z

Great fun!! Once I realised you have to give away the items you use I was like 'OOOH THAT'S SO SMART'. Very cool idea, very well executed! I only wish there was more of it! I really dig the artstyle, too. The sketchy hand-drawn look fits and looks amazing!

Keep up the great work!! :D

Zero gravity delivery by island-jam-2-group-3 2023-05-18T22:40:27Z

What a fun little game!! I really enjoyed the difficulty curve, it gave me something to work towards! Playing a few times and getting better on each run was a good feeling... That's what you want to see!

I feel like the game could've done with just a tad more juice - some screen-shake, shiny flashy bits, or some touched-up art. But in the spirit of game jams of course, none of that's truly necessary!

I really enjoyed my time with Zero Gravity Delivery... Keep it up guys!! :smile:

Sadmazon by Olivier Millochau 2023-05-18T23:16:54Z

I couldn't get enough of the physics, honestly. Swinging things around on ropes will NEVER get boring! I really enjoyed my time with Sadmazon, despite how bad I was at it :grin:

Despite my skills being less than desireable, I really enjoyed the difficulty curve of the game. I felt like I'd get better every run, which is fantastic!

Overall, a great little game and an excellent Ludum Dare entry. Keep up the awesome work guys!! :grin:

PS. Keep it up Blaise, absolute legend :thumbsup:

USPS United Space Poostal Service by FabDynamic 2023-05-18T22:45:52Z

First and foremost, I just want to say - the fact that you pushed on through all of those shitty situations (power outages, broken computer etc.)... I genuinely have a lot of respect for you making it in the end!! That's awesome. I'd have given up three times over.

Anyway, the game! I was mostly focused on the aesthetic when I was playing, which I find to be simple but somehow captivating! The dithering on the spaceship, the shiny gradients on the text... It gave me an oddly nostalgic feeling and I'm not 100% sure I can put my finger on why. Either way, I really enjoyed it!

I had a good bit of fun with USPS, and I'm looking forward to whatever you make next time! Keep up the great work!! :grin:

George and Deliverance by MacDoom 2023-05-18T21:57:15Z

Fun little game! Mastering the controls went deeper than I thought at first. Some good retro vibes got me going too with the aspect ratio and them there pixels.

I had a lot of fun, keep up the great work!! :grin:

Package Peril by RosyMaple 2023-05-18T22:13:42Z

What a great little game!! The driving controls were quite difficult to get a handle on but I found myself having a really good time with the learning curve after a while of getting used to it!

To me, it could have used a touch more on the UI/feedback side of things. It's a little difficult to fully understand everything that's going on with your packages etc.

Otherwise, another awesome Ludum Dare entry! Keep up the great work!! :grin:

The Curse of Sentience as a Delivery Box by vfewa 2023-05-18T22:05:11Z

You know, after this experience I'm a changed person. I'll never look at a delivery box the same way again...

Honestly though, I had a great time with this! Puzzle games are popping off this jam!!

Good vibes and a fun time, I'm a happy chappy. Keep up the great work! :grin:

That time I got to help my father in his new garage by Seraphyi 2023-05-18T22:35:26Z

Lovely graphics, lovely feel, and oddly nostalgic somehow?? This is what a good Ludum Dare entry looks like! A couple of people have already shouted out, but the animations make me very happy from a dev perspective.

I had a great time with this one, keep up the awesome work team!! :grin:

Eggo by Senso 2023-05-01T19:23:41Z

That was great! My favourite mechanic was the egg slide of awesome. Love the afterimages as you move, very over the top! I also loved the little bit of detail in the plants swaying as you move past them.

Keep up the great work!! :D

Delivery Of Death by Hora-Timer 2023-05-18T22:02:03Z

Surprisingly solid and functional for a full-on 3D environment! Loving the take on Death Note, it's been a good while since I last considered that story. Ryuk loves them apples... :grin:

Overall, a fun little game with a cool art style!! Like one of the other commenters mentioned, Light seems to look very feminine to me - posture, body shape and face. If you modelled him yourself, it could be beneficial to practice modelling some bulkier characters in the future!

In any case, keep up the great work! :grinning:

Deliver or Die by Pedryx 2023-05-18T22:28:20Z

Great little game!! I had no problems getting it up and running myself, and really enjoyed it until my glorious death 2:42 in!

Now I'm a bit of a simp for zombie-themed games, but I thought the atmosphere was done really well. Great work on that! If you'd gotten around to the weather and footsteps I'm sure it would've made an even better impression.

My only bit of advice I'd like to give is that using Comic Sans as your font is- well... It's a bit too much of a meme. There's lots of REALLY nice, licence-free fonts you can grab for yourself online (from DaFont or a similar site). Give them a go!

Keep up the great work!! :smile:

Office Rush by ryegame 2023-05-18T22:37:40Z

My word. The sprites may be simple, but damn are they effective!! The thing that really caught me about this game was how it looks - cute and blocky! I really enjoyed that aspect.

Overall, a great little game! Keep up the good work @ryegame!! :smile:

Delivery Boy Island by Ducxss 2023-05-01T19:55:30Z

I found myself having a surprising amount of fun with this one! I really enjoy how short and quick the levels are, and getting the '?' blocks feels very satisfying. I finished with about 350 coins :D

Keep up the great work!! c:

FORMIDULOSUS partus by highskies 2023-05-01T19:44:46Z

THE ENDING IS SO GOOD.

I had a lot of fun playing this one. The visual effects are very impressive! The character controller was nice and smooth, too. You've definitely got some good tech to build a bigger, more complex project off of!

The bit where you see the room full of crates like yours was a good, creepy twist. Excellent atmosphere across the board, and as I said... The ending truly is priceless C:

Keep up the great work!! :D

Seahorse delivery by LudovicS 2023-05-18T22:21:32Z

Great little game!! A can tell how much care and effort went into this, and I just want to say - this absolutely blows my first-time entry out of the water. It's quite an ambitious project for your first experience with Unity 2D, and I've got to say it's paid off!

It's obviously got a little ways to go, some polish would do it wonders, but this is excellent. You should be proud of yourself!

Keep up the awesome work @ludovics!! :grin:

Bianco e Nero by fruitbowll 2023-05-18T23:04:45Z

Honestly I have NO idea where or why the Tower of Ruina stuff comes into this, but it looks like you had fun with it so I don't really mind! It was pretty fun having to dodge Roland's attacks with my mouse, so I had a pretty fun time with this little game!

Keep doing you my guy, keep up the good work!! :grin:

Airborn Island Delivery by AweSkyBear 2023-05-20T12:38:48Z

Fun little game!! I enjoyed it a lot! :grin:

Sorry to hear you had troubles getting whitelisted, hopefully that's not a problem next time.

Looking forward to whatever you make next, keep up the great work!! :grin:
