LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Hotel Nero by Nightfall 2017-12-05T03:01:01Z

Thanks for the great Feedback!

@interpol there is level selection in the main menu. Just hit one of the numbers next to the door. Only works, if you played though the levels before though.

@zgragselus totally agree that movement cant be optimised a lot more. We know that the game is very difficult right now if you try to get all characters in each level, but thats by design. More visual feedback on character picking is a great idea.

Hotel Nero by Nightfall 2017-12-06T16:51:40Z

@roy87 it is not on indiexpo right now. If we get to fix all the issues it still has right now, we might put it there as well.

LD44 — Your life is currency

Bunny Gigolo by ploy 2019-04-29T21:12:58Z

love it! cause it made me laugh

LD45 — Start with nothing

World Not Found by TheGamer1123211 2019-10-08T09:15:36Z

Killed the power a second time and wasnt able to restart it. Quite a fun game to that point though. But i dont want to go through all the reconnecting the wires a second time. sorry.

Scrap Time by auxC 2019-10-08T09:23:39Z

I love the graphics! Great job. Maybe add a blinking effect when hitting enemies. I was confused about whether I hit them at the beginning.

I Will Survive by Lepletier 2019-10-13T17:57:23Z

The main screen music is really nice :D gets you in a i-wanna-do-sth-to-survive-mood.

The Alpaca Tales by jan5366x 2019-10-08T08:53:45Z

I killed an alpaca. I feel bad now. COuldnt figure out what the diamonds were for. But otherwise quite fun game.

Nothing Colony by Joshua Lacey 2019-10-08T08:37:25Z

I now have enough energy to send it back to earth! With a little more balance and some fancier graphics, this could become a really nice game.

The Ghost Haunter by Gnappuraz 2019-10-13T17:41:19Z

Game with ghost butt would recommend 10/10

Seriously: id love to see more time put into this. Great animations and humor.

Nothing by Spiced Pigeon 2019-10-09T08:48:14Z

@sheepdog123 the website you linked shows a fixed number of elements. "There are 65 elements to get. I was planning on having thousands, but like I said, this is unfinished. Perhaps I could add more in the future. " I saw that you can recommend new elements in a form for version 2, but its not really built in the game, is it?

Nothing by Spiced Pigeon 2019-10-12T23:33:34Z

@kleinzach @wansou @egos Thanks for the great feedback! Cant wait to try to find the elements you created :)

Treble Clef by Brainoid 2019-10-08T15:54:28Z

Had the same problem as @pilarius :(

Rainbow Restoration by CrubeYawne 2019-10-13T17:49:12Z

Made a rainbow for my dude friend. He now happy. Cute little game! Keep it up.

A course at the mall by RadonRaph 2019-10-08T08:45:23Z

Fun game, really good music. Would recommend the uncensored version.

Nude In The Forest by Sarah_lkv 2019-10-13T17:33:13Z

Im really impressed by the amount of 3D and animationw ork you put together for this. Does the game have an end? I killed the big angry dude at the end and nothing happened, which left me a bit confused.

Cubehead by BntRpnw 2019-10-08T09:00:06Z

Make the game longer and the learning curve less steep. Could have played this for much longer.

LD46 — Keep it alive

ORB by blaster391 2020-04-21T18:36:25Z

I really like the concept. The thing that seems to be holding it back is that the character controller feels very unresponsive... it drags behind for a long time and i just dont feel like im in control. Loved the music and mood!

Where`s my Pills by colan 2020-04-21T19:37:20Z

Im to bad for this game. Or is the game to hard?

Dungeon Farmer by TheQiwiBoy 2020-04-21T19:21:12Z

Thats not a html. Game would be fun, but just keeping the sword in the center and rotating it around is a really simple dominant strategy.

LD59 — Signal

Happiness by OddballDave 2026-04-20T20:47:48Z

This is so wonderfully weird! Everyone is happy now :) Thanks for making something fun and weird!

DIG_POD by a333 2026-04-22T18:43:00Z

This was super fun! I didnt understand the mining tool in the beginning and just shot my way through, but once I got it, it was sooo satisfying to use and upgrade.

MOTHER by Parxer 2026-04-23T22:05:56Z

Hmmm I think I dont really understand what to do. I pinged a couple of times and found another sattelite, but lost it again? The game looks super pretty though :3

The Beacon by zimennik 2026-04-20T21:20:58Z

Played it until the end! I especially loved the mood that the audio and visuals created. Very myterious! (The audio almost reminded me of blue prince?)

Alpine by RenD 2026-04-22T19:31:27Z

Pretty cool! Hats off to you for such a polished game!

Bleak Signal by Quoclon 2026-04-22T17:51:04Z

I finished the simulation :ok_hand:

Deep Sea by Enver Arco 2026-04-23T19:53:23Z

Wow! There was more to find down there than I expected :D I even foudn the sipwreck, but didnt make it back up. Congratz on making such a nice game! The thrill of losing energy and hoping youll make it back up is very fun ^^

Signal City by cax 2026-04-30T22:20:49Z

This was super fun! Played it for way longer than I wanted :D I love how it slowly turned from economy sim to political satire to customer service hell. Superb!

High Rollers by HardyTryer 2026-04-20T22:07:23Z

After learning a few runs, I tried to collect enough jumps to jump over the wall and escape! But sadly I crashed before that ^^

Lighthouse Diaries by Tomssuli 2026-04-22T19:39:38Z

Haha you also made a lighthouse game! Feels like yours slightly better simulates how they actually work ^^ Very fun!

Switchboard Operator by CaptainSpoof 2026-04-20T20:28:04Z

I hope nobody has to deal with a switchboard operator as bad as me ^^ its super tricky to remember and connect all the details.

Guiding Signal by Kevin Meissner 2026-04-21T14:34:27Z

Pretty cool! But I got stuck because I could not figure out how to build a tower.

Guiding Signal by Kevin Meissner 2026-04-21T14:41:46Z

@kevin-meissner Ah I actually meant destroying a tower. I misplaced one and then could neither finish nor restart the mission.

New London 3D Turbo 2000 by Revetoon 2026-04-23T16:21:12Z

Cool. So I dont have a drivers license, but after playing this I feel very entitled to one... Can I do another 360 and you give me a british license?

LoS: Linked by Theo Ratkin 2026-04-20T21:37:58Z

Very solid! The entire building networks to travel faster is quite fun ^^ I just wish the ship was a little bit easier to control.

Beacon of Hope by Mascoll 2026-04-20T21:46:21Z

The itch page is still hidden :(

Beacon of Hope by Mascoll 2026-04-20T23:17:20Z

It works now! Hmmm couldnt figure out how to open the fire box though. Already got the gear from the fire, but that didnt seem to help.

Pressing Signals by partialmoon 2026-04-20T21:31:05Z

Highscore: 860 Honestly this was super fun! Its so simple, but my brain immediately got stuck in this unusual typing game ^^

This Is Fiiiiine by mitur 2026-04-22T17:23:36Z

Pretty cool! It took me a while to figure out that the silouhettes were approximations, even though that should probably have been obvious ^^ I always selected three shapes and got stuck until I realized I could reselect the hero.

Desktop Jar by ranejeb 2026-04-23T16:46:57Z

Really cool! Feels well polished and I love that you collect actaual keycaps while typing ^^

CXNTACT by NonDev 2026-04-23T20:16:42Z

Pretty cool! Love how the signal is layerd above everything in audio and visually. I was also super happy the terminal responded to a ping command ^^ (Btw: Interact is Y on my german keyboard)

CXNTACT by NonDev 2026-04-23T20:55:08Z

@nondev yeah it worked in game! Just got stuck for a short time when the fullscreen text appeared bc that didnt have the button prompts - so I tried to look it up in the notes. But I figured it out eventually.

МIИISTЯУ OF SIGИДL by 7uc4s 2026-04-21T11:01:34Z

Took me a while to get the hang of the knobs, but the radio keeps overheating for me :/ Even if I move them slowly. Love the aesthetics though!

POKER FACE by T4RAN 2026-04-22T17:36:46Z

Haha :D What. I beat the last guy but he still shot me. Maybe I should play less agressive against people with guns.

Signal Nightmare by jazzydingo 2026-04-22T17:29:46Z

I did it I escaped! I did get stuck with the camera very close to my phone in my first run though. Not sure what happened there.

O Blue World by FruitSoil 2026-04-23T21:58:45Z

Hm I couldnt figure out how to find the casettes with the scanner. I tried to follow the signal, but couldnt see them? Eventually got eaten by a shark.

BadMoodWithoutMotivationForPracticGame by Aannnnman 2026-04-22T17:16:18Z

Looks like hand eye coordination training ^^ PS: The web build here didnt seems to load - the one on itch worked.

Signal Keeper by IndiePanda 2026-04-22T18:04:09Z

Hm honestly I quit after day 4, because I did not feel like repeating the actions again. Would have loved somethign to break the cycle there.

NORTH-5 by rezonanc 2026-04-20T20:59:25Z

The text doesnt show for me on either site :(

NORTH-5 by rezonanc 2026-04-20T21:22:45Z

@rezonanc hmmm still looks the same to me

NORTH-5 by rezonanc 2026-04-20T22:11:16Z

@rezonanc I even deleted my chrome cache and tried firefox, but cant get it to run :/

NORTH-5 by rezonanc 2026-04-20T22:20:52Z

@rezonanc I see the weird 0. Tried icognito mode as well. Not sure why it is broken.

Screenshot 2026-04-21 001948.png

NORTH-5 by rezonanc 2026-04-20T23:08:43Z

@rezonanc It does work now!!! Thanks! Its cool! Quite the polished game :open_mouth: Kinda fun to type a long string and then see it being executed!

Radio Active by kauri J 2026-04-21T08:06:26Z

The visuals look amazing, but I cant do anything except to look at the sofa :(

Journal of Poisonous Experiment by Aquaaa 2026-04-22T18:25:12Z

Hm I didnt really understand how to differentiate between toxic and non toxic traits. Just tried them one by one, but that got very tedious bc I always have to go through the intro.

Signal Cut by Liomio 2026-04-22T17:42:14Z

Pretty good ^^ But kind of easy to cheat by just reacting last second to cut the wire? Might be interesting if the signal picks up speed over time while traveling through the wire, so you have to look ahead more and cannot cut last second.

Lost Signal: Network Warfare by Gahlammon 2026-04-23T17:11:55Z

I see where this is going! Would love to have auto turrets that shoot if they have a signal and stuff :D

ULTRA-RADAR by ZezinhoESR 2026-04-23T20:20:17Z

Very simple but honestly quite fun :D I always had to remember thooting stuff that I couldnt see anymore.

Deadly Cliffs by Michl Bayer 2026-04-20T20:17:24Z

I hope all issues with the download should be fixed now! I cant do anything about that itch flag though :/

Deadly Cliffs by Michl Bayer 2026-04-20T22:42:56Z

@theoratkin Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! :heart: Yeah some of the gadgets ended up being a bit less helpful than intended ^^ But we just wanted to try them all!!! Thanks again for playing!

Deadly Cliffs by Michl Bayer 2026-04-21T07:33:09Z

@xotraz You have to admit new ships by pressing the big start button on the radar station. THen use the cranks to guide the ships with the light to a green lit fort. They follow the light like moths ^^ Not really how lighthouses work, but fun as a mechanic!

Deadly Cliffs by Michl Bayer 2026-04-21T12:53:50Z

@bloham Haha a window cleaning sound effect would be cool indeed! Thank you so much!

Deadly Cliffs by Michl Bayer 2026-04-22T21:55:20Z

@snk Thank you for your kind words! We are really happy you enjoyed it!

Deadly Cliffs by Michl Bayer 2026-04-23T21:13:39Z

@fifut Haha glad you enjoyed crashing them! That was the part of the pitch that got us locked into the idea ^^

@vinnnie Thank you so much!

@metalim that's fair! I think some of those upgrades sounded better in our head than they turned out. Would definitely be more selective if we extended this.

Deadly Cliffs by Michl Bayer 2026-05-05T19:41:39Z

@jk5000 @fassenberg @pawel-waligora Thank you so much! Yeah we will put some more focus on the onboarding experience next time. It is definetly still to complicated to get into! :eyes:

@rend Thanks for the detailed Feedback! Yes! Once one of our team members mentioned the ship crashing we were all immediatly sold in the idea :D Destruction is just inherently super fun! We definetly took some PVKK inspiration! :wink:

@mibi88 Yeah that Ferry was a bad idea in hindsight! We will try to avoid that confusion next time :dizzy_face:

@partialmoon Thank you so much!!! :pray: We tried to go all in on that immersion!
