LD44 — Your life is currency

Once Upon A Plague by icxon 2019-04-30T11:59:59Z

Very good game! The mood is really nice. I love the graphics, the concept. It fits the theme perfectly!

I just agree with what has been said about the way unit selection works. It's a bit annoying to have to select each time instead of keeping a unit selected until you want to change.

Apart from that, again, you did a very good job!

Cat Outta Hell by tifu 2019-04-30T13:37:25Z

Such a beautiful game! It fits the theme perfectly, I really like the way you implemented it. And the art, the music, the gameplay...everything is great! Good job \o/

Insert Coin by gil4 2019-05-03T18:36:15Z

Such a beautiful game! The art, the music, the story, the gameplay...everything is great and work well together :D However, I don't play video games very often, and I found it quite hard :/ But that doesn't change the fact that you did an amazing job! Thank you for this game :)

Idle Idol by Daniel Moreno 2019-05-03T16:10:36Z

Capture.PNG Wow! I really enjoyed your game! It's quite addictive, haha! The art and the music create a great atmosphere. The only thing I thought about that would make the experience better is to not have to select again the building you want to place. Hotkeys would have been cool too.

Otherwise, awesome game, thank you!

Idle Idol by Daniel Moreno 2019-05-20T07:32:21Z

I'm coming back just to show that...I did it o/ Again, great game! Capture.PNG

Space Gunner by GerardB 2019-05-03T13:29:23Z

Fun to play :D I like the graphics and the music. I don't play video games a lot so there were a looooot of monsters for me, haha! And I died a lot too ^^' Maybe you could make the game start at an easier level? Just a suggestion :) But overall, good job!

Lousy Life Lessons - [LLL] by AwesomeAlliterationAlliance 2019-05-03T09:38:19Z

Such a beautiful game! I don't really know what to say, apart from the fact that it's one of the best game I've seen so far ! The art is beautiful, the music, the voice recording, everything make a great atmosphere! Thank you for making this game !

Bakra Battle by pranjalbisht 2019-05-03T08:15:26Z

Really fun game! I spent a very good time playing this game with friends! Probably one of the best games I played so far and that I'll certainly play again ^_^ Great job for submitting such a polished game! \o/

Heart of the Grove by johnnydalvi 2019-05-03T09:23:37Z

A very beautiful game ! The mood is awesome ! I love the graphics and the atmosphere you manage to set up.

It would have been nice to be able to zoom in to see the details and zoom out to see the whole map. Also, it gets a bit repetitive after a while. Oh, and also, there is a little bug at the end : when your blue tree dies, you can keep playing, as long as you kill all the monsters during the wave ^^

Otherwise, I can just say that you did a really, really good job! Thank you for this cool game!

Busy Hell Tycoon by svats7 2019-05-02T08:50:03Z

@star-garden , @nico-fallosch , @msalison > Thank you for the kind words :D

@lombax > Still, good job for making it to level 18 \o/ We should have detailed the tutorial a bit more and make some things more visible/intuitive. But well...game jam, haha

@sarneh > I'm glad you like the way it looks! Sorry for not having a linux version :(

@tartaud > I'm glad you enjoyed the concept and the style of the game! As for gaining or losing age with the same buildings, it depends on their color : the blue buildings make you gain age whereas the purple ones make you lose age. So each type of building has the two versions. I hope this is helpful ^^

@bakenshake > Yay, good job for making it to 2nd place!Thank you for this constructive feedback! Yes, unfortunately, we didn't put as much time as we wanted in the tutorial... And we will make sure to improve the UI after the jam :D

@icxon > I'm glad that you enjoyed the game! Thank you so much for this video, it is super useful! And we will make sure to make things more intuitive, improve the UI and tutorial after the jam. Thanks again for the video :D

@kregames > I'm glad you liked the art and enjoyed the game! thank you for your feedback :D

@arqcenick > thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the atmosphere of the game :D We wanted to put more time in the tutorial but well... Game jam ^^' For the buildings, depending on their color, they will make you gain age (blue buildings) or lose age (purple ones). We will make sure to make that clearer after the jam :)

@denzil-gomes > Looks like you clicked many times on "publish" haha ^^ I'm glad that you liked the game. And you should be in it no matter the score you get. Thank you for your feedback!

@jsmars > thank you for your kind words. I'm happy that you enjoyed the atmosphere of the game ^_^

@gerardb > I'm glad you enjoyed the game! Thank you for your comment :D

@tay-elenberg > I'm glad you liked the art and the concept! :)

@tommyflower > thank you for your feedback! Yes, there are a lot of things, and we will improve the tutorial and make things clearer during the game after the jam :) I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

Busy Hell Tycoon by svats7 2019-05-03T17:32:33Z

@dr4g0nsoul > Thank you for your feedback! Implementing everything took a while, and it's true that we didn't get much time to balance the game. The time it takes to unlock all the buildings depends on how you play at first. Since it's a game jam, we didn't want this time to be too long. Unfortunately, we also didn't find the time to implement some fun events in the game :( We will try to correct the little UI bugs, balance the game better and implement fun events after the jam :)

Thank you again for your feedback !

Busy Hell Tycoon by svats7 2019-05-03T18:30:45Z

@theustweak > Thank you for your comment! Unfortunately, we were not able to spend enough time on the tutorial :/ So we will improve the tutorial after the jam :) I'm glad you enjoyed the atmosphere of the game! ^_^

Busy Hell Tycoon by svats7 2019-05-04T17:53:18Z

@bentekiller > I'm glad you enjoyed the game ! Unfortunately, we didn't spend as much time as we wanted on the tutorial... :( We will improve that and correct the bugs after the game jam :) Thank you for your feedback !

@awesomealliterationalliance > The leaderboard in the game only shows the top 5, but take a look at the online leaderboard here : http://mathewsherry.com/LD44/ . See, you're here \o/ I'm glad you enjoyed the game :D Thank you for your comment!

@oune > Thank you for your kind words! Oh, an unexpected bug survived here! We will correct it after the game jam. Thank you for your feedback :)

Mind Over Matter by MZA 2019-05-01T13:41:08Z

The mood is well set up and the art is beautiful! There are some issues with the way things move, like when the camera moves up when the character jumps... It's hard to see where to land ^^'

Again, really good job for the mood and the art!

Time Thief by beanslasher 2019-05-03T08:23:57Z

I really enjoyed playing this game! Jusy, at first, I thought that I had to avoid the boxes though, haha x) So maybe it would be a good idea to put "pick up" on top of the first ones falling? But overall, good job ! :D

Space Hunt by Rewzu 2019-04-30T14:43:58Z

Nice game that works well! The art is nice, the gameplay feels great. The music put you in the mood, and it fits the theme perfectly! Good job, thank you for this game :D

Little suggestion : it would have been nice to be able to use the numeric keypad for the attacks ^^

The Last Dragon by FlyingKiwi 2019-04-30T12:37:55Z

There are some bugs when you jump on an obstacle: you end up stuck on it until you jump again. Otherwise, you did a really good job with the art! And with the music as well, there is a good mood in the game :)

Register Revenge by Denzil Gomes 2019-05-03T15:39:32Z

Nice little game! I like the music. Good job for the art, it's very good for a first try! I found the movements of the character a bit akward : it seemed to kind of slip sometimes. Otherwise, cool game!

if(life) by sundhar 2019-05-09T12:34:33Z

Nice game :) Just a little thing: the tutorial is not easy to go through with a touchpad :/ Good job!

Timing of Ignatius by Danielk 2019-05-03T08:29:22Z

The way you implemented the theme is really good :D And the powerups really improve the gameplay a lot! However, it gets repetitive after a while... 48 levels is a lot ^^' Maybe with other monsters and different rooms? Good job for making a complete game :D

Behind Your Light by Cem Adiloglu 2019-04-30T14:32:34Z

Very cool game! It's impressive that you managed to do so much all by yourself! The concept, the music and the art are really cool! It's fun to play, I like how the monsters just seem to teleport you leave them out of light for a second. I just didn't really understand where the theme "your life is currency" has been implemented. Otherwise, really, good job for this game!

utsvulten by ditto 2019-05-03T16:20:33Z

Weird and unexpected ^^' And disturbing too, haha Nice art !:)

Virus the game by Vertuga32 2019-04-30T13:02:17Z

I had so much trouble to understand the tutorial >.< Some text would have been nice. Otherwise, it's a really interesting concept! The art is really good, the music adds to the mood! The little sentences saying the events are also fun to read :D Good job!

Scythemen by ditam 2019-04-30T12:22:02Z

Interesting concept that fits the theme. The graphics are cool! There is maybe just a bit missing in terms of interesting and fun gameplay.
