LD42 — Running out of space

Its Time To Stop Running by tinykidtoo 2018-08-14T20:30:57Z

The shooting animation felt quite good. Graphics were fine and the audio worked with the gameplay. I had some issue with the text, it wasn't rendered properly for my resolution, you should consider scaling it according to selected resolution.

Bullet Candles by crazyrems 2018-08-14T10:42:11Z

I don't know if I just messed up, but I couldn't get the players to shoot. Maybe make the instruction sheet a little bigger, I could hardly read it.

One more tip: dont use Y or Z for controls since there's QWERTZ and QWERTY keyboards so one of them is gonna suffer.

Also, ain't no body got friends at home to play this with :stuck_out_tongue:.

Pineapple Run by yscik 2018-08-14T20:50:09Z

Simple, fun and adictive, kept me playing for quite a while.

The gun arc was limited, and sometimes I couldn't shoot stuff above me, was that intended?

Pocketverse Protector by Alfie275 2018-08-14T19:45:24Z

Flying around was quite fun and satisfying, however I didn't get the impression I was making any progress.

Head Space by AfroAnt 2018-08-14T02:21:25Z

What a funky artstyle! Fun gameplay too, definetly one of the more humorous games out there. The theme was more theoretical, not really in the gameplay, but I guess it's kinda in there.

The Longest Jump by A-Flat Miner Studios 2018-08-14T20:07:56Z

One of the funnier games out there. Gameplay is nice but complicated to understand at first.

Flesh Packer by nervous-composers 2018-08-14T11:19:12Z

Well that was both funny and dark. However, you should put a warning up since there's a lot of kids playing theese, and a lot of people who would be disturbed by this.

RED - 23 by louis-denizet 2018-08-14T11:04:49Z

Nice game all around, really polished up. One tip though, you shouldn't use mouse and arrow keys. It forces the player in a really weird arm position. Also, if you add space as a control too, it gets really bad, you can't reach space with your left hand while it's on the arrow keys, so you have to move it each time you want to press space. Having WASD instead of arrow keys would easily fix all this.

RED - 23 by louis-denizet 2018-08-14T11:15:43Z

@skreed You still don't want to make the player have to put his arms close together, it's not a natural position, it actually makes your back hurt in the long run. Thats why I reccomend WASD.

Heirs Kingdom by Valter 2018-08-14T02:48:03Z

Cool concept. Don't see much of the theme, but who cares, it's fun.

Heirs Kingdom by Valter 2018-08-14T03:05:13Z

@valter Aha, wasn't obvious to me, probably because it's 5 AM...

Skipping Cats by Lovro Kalinovčić 2018-08-14T01:22:39Z

@sauski True, it isnt very intuitive, but it would be pretty wonky to try to explain. You don't want to write a lot of text because people lose interest very quickly. I'd say it's better and easier if the player learns it himself.

Skipping Cats by Lovro Kalinovčić 2018-08-14T02:15:00Z

@sauski Yeah, that would work, didn't seem necessary though, so we didn't pursue it.

Skipping Cats by Lovro Kalinovčić 2018-08-14T12:30:10Z

@gexalmighty You can undo an indefinite number of times, holding undo quickly brings you to the start of the lvl. We thought this was much better than a restart since one wrong move means you have to start over because of the falling mechanic.

Skipping Cats by Lovro Kalinovčić 2018-08-14T12:54:58Z

@gexalmighty Haha, you must have had a very bad time then.

Skipping Cats by Lovro Kalinovčić 2018-08-14T12:58:20Z

@headless We did make some decorations, but they ended up seeming like obstacles, so they were removed.

Skipping Cats by Lovro Kalinovčić 2018-08-14T20:22:21Z

@rebelloeric Sorry about that, it was most likely a GPU driver bug. Could you please write down your GPU model and driver version?

Skipping Cats by Lovro Kalinovčić 2018-08-15T14:54:31Z

@proke No, just OpenGL.

High Castle by Wheffle 2018-08-13T23:03:34Z

Really fun game, I loved squishing the little guys by placing blocks on them. Cute graphics, nice audio, good mood overall. The theme was followed, but I feel like it more in the background of the game, I didn't really pay much attention to the crumbling blocks, nor could I interact with the crumbling mechanic.

High Castle by Wheffle 2018-08-14T01:21:15Z

@wheffle My opinion is that you should develop the mechanic, make a way to restore them, and make the whole crumbly thing more interactive

The Crunch by ProAFKboy 2018-08-14T20:40:01Z

Had a similar kind of idea, glad to see it was implemented. The game overall is pretty decent in all areas.

Running out of Toaster by Jegus9 2018-08-13T23:46:27Z

Nice art, quite fun gameplay. The intro was funny but it still put me to sleep later on :stuck_out_tongue: .

However, please consider that a lot of people use the QWERTZ keyboard layout, so putting shoot and jump on Y and Z is quite painfull for them.

Panic attack! At the party by Rammy294 2018-08-14T13:12:55Z

Story of my life.

Panic attack! At the party by Rammy294 2018-08-14T13:14:48Z

@xwilarg "I feel like the character is very slow" As a master of awkwardnes I must say that moving fast is very awkward, you need to seem like you're not running away from people. You gotta make it look like natural movement.

LArena by Haj 2018-08-14T20:24:39Z

Though the graphics were a bit off-putting, the game is fun and the idea implements the theme nicely. Too bad I don't have anybody to play it with.

ArPONGoid by slantar 2018-08-14T17:27:37Z

Cool idea, nice art, felt smooth to play it. Only issue was when the bouncer thing hit the ball with its side instead of its front, the ball got wedged between the bouncer and the wall.

Shrinking Dungeon by DutssZ 2018-08-14T01:16:42Z

You have to register on gamejolt to get the game, it'd be better if you posted it somewhere else.

Taint - A LD42 Game by Pyja and BKAT by Pyjamaboy 2018-08-13T23:18:19Z

Hey, the link doesn't seem to be working.

Get To The Airlock by Dan Davis 2018-08-14T01:33:08Z

I like the acceleration. The art was ok, the gameplay was somewhat fun. I had a little trouble with the window though. It wouldn't go into the background when alt tabbing or clicking away, had to manually minimize it.

The Best Internet Experience by Hugo kieffer 2018-08-14T13:00:54Z

Funniest game I've found so far.

Globulator by Corbak 2018-08-14T20:14:58Z

Nice idea, simple yet polished graphics, smooth gameplay. However I'd make the toxic waste a little more hurtfull so the theme shines through more.

Weltraum by JLV 2018-08-14T01:53:39Z

Good voicing, interesting story. Audio is a bit wonky, seems to be only coming from the left speaker.

11042 by abvadabra 2018-08-14T00:34:08Z

Oh boy, this is quite a large game. Didn't get to finish it, but it seems pretty swell. Only thing is, I don't see much relation to the theme.

Robots Of Outer Space by Merotar 2018-08-14T17:21:25Z

Entertaning game, but I did run into some issues. When I died I was restored to 2 hearts but couldn't move. Didn't really understand what was going on. Also, you should make the character stand out more.

YandereDotDefence by GexAlmighty 2018-08-14T19:12:26Z

Good game. I've got a bit of advice: when placing a tower don't put the tower texture over the mouse pointer, put it above and to the side, maybe extend an arrow from it to the pointer. Makes it seem more polished.

Will Survive by foxserranu 2018-08-13T23:23:03Z

Loved the atmosphere, the art, the music, you can really see a lot of work was put into this.

Save the sheep by Zlabya 2018-08-14T01:09:10Z

Fun little game, surprisngly polished 3D graphics.

Save the sheep by Zlabya 2018-08-14T01:27:16Z

@zlabya Well, this is a peculiar situation since the timer has been extended by 24 hours because of all the lag on the site. You could do it, but it is supposed to be only for submiting.

Halcyon Woods by PopDaddyGames 2018-08-14T00:40:45Z

Lots of stuff looks bought, so you should opt out of those categories. Gotta give it to you though, you put it together nicely.

Only Space by Jake Barter 2018-08-14T00:10:56Z

Good idea! Needs a bit more work to make the gameplay fun though.

Devil Warship Makujin by Ceuteum 2018-08-14T11:32:10Z

Nice game, but pls no XZ controls, it's very bad when you have the QWERTZ layout.

Devil Warship Makujin by Ceuteum 2018-08-14T12:54:03Z

@sat9 Im not talking about the arrow keys, the problem is that Z and X are far apart on the QWERTZ layout. You gotta really stretch your hand if you want to get them both and also place it in the middle of the keyboard, which is akward.

Devil Warship Makujin by Ceuteum 2018-08-14T13:11:09Z

@sat9 Don't worry much about it, it's a common thing to oversee. By the way, the layout is used in Central Europe(Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Slovenia, BiH, Montenegro, Albania...).

Plant's Conquest by Sam Estep 2018-08-14T17:24:13Z

The art is cute but I got stuck on the second lvl, wasn't sure what was going on.

Zlinx by frontlinesaint 2018-08-14T18:58:37Z

Hard game, barely got past the first lvl and then I got stuck. A restart button would be nice when the walls have closed too much and the lvl can't be passed anymore.

Grave Heart by very dark lord 2018-08-14T11:14:12Z

Funny and very deep gameplay! You did the voice acting yourself?

No Space For Corpses by bigboyenzo 2018-08-13T23:33:24Z

Really had fun, especially with the fast fire rate guns. Love that feeling of shooting tons of bullets into something, reminds me of the old CoD submachine guns. Had a few problems though, the movement kept getting glitched, not too often tho. The graphics were ok, but I think it'd be better if there wasn't overlapping text. All in all, felt good to play it.

LD42 - GraveWorld by Azo 2018-08-14T10:52:56Z

Definetly needs some music to up the mood. Otherwise, cool idea, I love the one-hit mechanic. The theme was followed, but the gameplay needs a bit more development to be really fun. Don't get me wrong, it was fun, but not for long since it's simple.

Bat-Chan! by Alex Foyt 2018-08-14T02:06:57Z

Love the pixel art. Gameplay is a bit slow, but it fits the theme well.

Calorie Killers by big-cow 2018-08-14T19:58:13Z

That was quite the unique take on this theme. I'd make some kind of progression for the attack though, it gets impossible later on because the attack stays weak.

Light of Bacterium by Blurred Lines 2018-08-14T02:42:45Z

Feels kinda like that Sporeā„¢ stage, when you're a microorganism. Really takes me back. It's a bit laggy though, you might wanna do something about that.

Land-itz! A Land Possession Game by PeteyWoufes 2018-08-14T01:14:03Z

Can't reach the link.

Melting Ice (Running out of penguins) by Leetchi 2018-08-14T00:20:24Z

Favourite game yet! Really nice graphics, reminds me of this one pengiun sliding game I used to play back on the CRT monitor PCs. The gameplay is great, and the reproduction is funny. My favourite part is how the ice breaks off. Could use some music, but hey, can't have it all.

Blueberry Adventure by aaron horrar 2018-08-14T01:44:26Z

Had a lot of fun and it looks nice but I don't see much correlation with the theme.

Open Wires by sosaddude 2018-08-14T20:34:22Z

I'd suggest you make the turning a bit easier, but generate a new map each playthrough so that it doesn't become just about memorization.

Open Wires by sosaddude 2018-08-14T20:43:32Z

@sosaddude I think it would be good enough if you just did it the simplest possible way: RNG. You generate a random tunnel lenght, and then you generate whether you turn left or right, just check wheter it is valid(that you don't crash into an earlier passage), if it's not valid, generate again until it is.

crushED by DaviHayato 2018-08-14T01:39:35Z

Loved the tetris mode. The physics need a bit of polishing though, they're kinda floaty.

Slime Sweeper by superbobmanguy 2018-08-14T19:20:22Z

Wow, this is actually a very good idea. At first I was confused but after I got the mechanics it was very fun. I do reccomend that you include a tutorial, I kept trying to directly move a slime to a tank, didn't get that I had to go to the next turn.

Garbage Disk by Tenik 2018-08-14T00:29:02Z

Cool idea, cute graphics, but I there just isn't much depth to it. My tip is to figure out the gameplay first, and then focus on the graphics.

Slime Mine by Headless 2018-08-14T12:38:05Z

Fun game over all, reminds me of the browser game "Motherload". My advice is to make the jumping animation NOT interupt movement, it doesn't feel smooth. Also maybe introduce some danger in the mine to make it more spicy.

Waterlogged by Brosilio 2018-08-13T23:53:34Z

Though the game isn't finished, it looks pretty nice. You obviously bit off more than you could chew, but I bet it would have been great if you finished it, really like the idea.

I think it'd look even better if you used foliage rendering for the leaves of the palm.

Also that font, no offense, but please give up on it :stuck_out_tongue:

Space Collapse by Steffanie 2018-08-14T00:07:36Z

Heh, running out of SPACE, hehe. Had the same kinda of idea at first.

Back to the game: Really funky controls with all that gravity business. Makes it fun, but hard, and sometimes I feel like my pilot skills can't do anything about the situation. Art is good, needs some spacy music to get a good mood though.

PostMord by meltobis 2018-08-13T23:15:35Z

Funny, but not much to do.

586M, that took a while, was that file size really necessary?

Home by Grogge 2018-08-14T17:32:36Z

Hmmm, I couldn't get any blue balls ever, just kept dying at the same point every time. Am I doing something wrong?

Filled to the Brim by REMCO GAMES 2018-08-14T02:37:39Z

The ice cubes are getting stuck and not letting the win trigger for me. Otherwise, cool idea.

FlowerBomber by AzStrocyte 2018-08-14T19:04:05Z

Pretty cool idea, but I'm really missing smoother movement here. Another tip is that the walls push you, not crush you when they spawn so that you don't randomly die when walking next to a wall. You could make so they only crush you if there's no where to push you.

Space Delivery by Team Gaivot 2018-08-14T12:51:28Z

The jumping was satisfying, not floaty at all. Art is very nice, sound is good.

I did have one problem though. On deliver 3, I don't know for what reason, but sometimes it is really fast. It gets so fast I can't move left or right on the screen, I'm glued to the back of the window. That makes it hard and not very fun to play.

Space Delivery by Team Gaivot 2018-08-14T18:09:45Z

@team-gaivot Man... How am I supposed to watch anime in peace when I have $500/day rent.
