LD39 — Running out of Power

RUN! Before the power runs out! by zenmumbler 2017-08-07T19:19:57Z

Superb choice of music, the escaping was very fun!

Firepower by akai_0okami 2017-08-03T17:03:05Z

Nice, entry, the difficulty escalated very quickly as in 3rd level you have to time perfectly how do you use gaz.

The restart is a nice addition and as the player respawn very quickly the difficulty can be (hardly) handled.

Galvanica by icxon 2017-08-06T17:28:59Z

Very nice idea, I love the graphics, maybe the pop up system is a little annoying. You could use the bottom text zone instead to avoid that. The minigames are a very nice addition.

Mr Mayor's Energy Crisis by HuvaaKoodia 2017-08-08T15:03:39Z

Arts are very nice and music stimulate perfectly the player. It seems very hard to reach few weeks has the population keep growing and problems keep happening. Anyway, that's very cool, well done :thumbsup:

Interstellar Electric Inc. by quadtree 2017-08-03T06:38:13Z

Really nice, that sounds complex at the beginning but with the poping of the new structures everything take sens, except maybe for the overload: how to avoid it?

Nuclear Arms 4: Fallout of The Mountain King by Logicon211 2017-08-03T05:00:18Z

I love the nuclear Chuck Norris style, the gameplay works well with the mouse aiming. Well done :thumbsup:

I'm an (nuclear) engineer! by zgragselus 2017-08-03T05:27:54Z

Nice graphics and handling the central while the meteo and the hours change is enjoyable :thumbsup:

Lightmare by maniac 2017-08-02T16:46:32Z

Nice atmosphere and the big monster is great :thumbsup:

Take my charge by josehzz 2017-08-03T06:15:43Z

One of my favorite entries, very neat, excellent progression on puzzle, maybe one jump is a bit difficult before the last level. Great job! :thumbsup:

Robo Power by jahndis 2017-08-05T07:35:03Z

Wow very nice! I love the mayor but the main part is that you've done an amazing programmation game. The last puzzles are quite hard. Well done :clap:

The Liberation of Liberatia by Somnium 2017-08-06T16:30:06Z

Nice idea, it was fun to take power over the country. You could have use some colors on texts to gain more readability. The time was short but using some icons instead of some texts could also have simplified the informations.

Shekateka by dietzribi 2017-08-01T22:32:11Z

Great game, impressive work, love the plug system. One flow : no rating given the other devs...

Botnet Smashers by dusakus 2017-08-07T18:17:01Z

I haven't seen the energy bar on my first try maybe you could use some green. The idea is interesting, well done!

Solar Snoop's Star Trek by tweedle 2017-08-05T06:21:04Z

I love the introduction, the gameplay plays nicely and the sound is very sweet. Well done :thumbsup:

Running Voltgun by sinclairstrange 2017-08-09T19:12:52Z

Awesome work! Even more when thinking that everything has been done in 72 hours. One little flaw, the 3 tiles to destroy scene was a bit annoying. Great job :thumbsup:

Ghost in the Machine by bmacintosh 2017-08-03T05:14:12Z

Well done, the two characters system is cool and the music is very nice.

Gem Diver by Yirggzmb 2017-08-05T08:04:57Z

Simple and it's working, well done! Some inertia could have improved greatly the gameplay though.

Take Me Home by Fengol 2017-08-01T08:30:04Z

Nice idea, but nothing happened during my way home is-it normal?

Chimster Gigafactory by Xarras 2017-08-04T14:56:47Z

The funniest game I've played in this jam, your tv programs are excellent! 5 stars for humour, easy ^^

Artax by Flaterectomy 2017-08-08T15:33:44Z

Very nice variation on the Last Guardian system. I love the graphics and the sound The overall quality of the game is very impressive :thumbsup:

Have you tested mine, it also feature **a giant robot** ? - https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/titan-defend-earth-before-its-too-late

Space Dog by Thygrrr 2017-08-08T12:33:50Z

Very nicely done. Graphics, mood, design everything works perfectly! Well done : thumbsup:

The forgotten mission by stoffe 2017-08-02T16:38:19Z

Dialogues are a nice addition but with pace of the game it's difficult to read them while progressing.

Defend Home: Mars by sgt3v 2017-08-01T22:22:52Z

Impressive achievement with the 3D graphics for a compo game :thumbsup:

Spacy adventure by egordorichev 2017-08-01T22:12:40Z

Very neat and superb graphics, animations & sound ambiance

Airship Engineer by ryte2byte 2017-08-05T06:12:43Z

The idea is quite funny but it seems very difficult to achieve the travel. I think that you could have let the player experiment how to fire the engine, it should be a very amusing (and maybe shocking) experience.

Nightfall by Roberto Romao 2017-08-03T13:19:29Z

Well done, especially with 12 hours. I like story and and The style.

I was blocked on the rebirth after 2 levels after the first twist.

:notes:In the darkest night ... :notes:

POWERCUT, Inc. by zoglu 2017-07-31T22:01:24Z

excellent : graph, sounds, learning curve ... Great job

Running on the Power of Love by nervous-composers 2017-08-03T12:47:47Z

Simple runner enjoyable thanks to the Bee Gees and the great graphics. I also like the ending :thumbsup:

Cyberhell Cleaner by EricQuagmire 2017-08-04T17:33:44Z

Glorious graphics that works very well with FX and sounds. Very efficient :thumbsup:

Remote by oab 2017-08-01T08:17:47Z

Wow, destroy the internet, that's harsh. I do love the animations and the game simple and efficient.

Power Tripping: Keeping It Cool by Sarah 2017-08-03T05:32:40Z

It's very hard to be fridge in fact ^^ the bonus system works well :thumbsup:

Powercharge by Ferminho 2017-08-02T19:06:52Z

Nice Game & Watch Feeling!

How I Met Your Great Great Grandmother by PeachTreeOath 2017-08-05T07:52:40Z

Very nice idea, I like the graphics of you family tree, I think that you should have kept the pixel art on the rest of the game (maybe it was a time problem?).

Thermal Power Plant K-13 by Finlal 2017-08-03T13:11:41Z

Superb graphics and I do love your cover but I can't understand how to build the metal thing necessary to build a house?

Hopeless Space by KonH 2017-08-06T16:35:24Z

Wow, that's quite hard to handle but it's very nice to have a real 3D space shooter! Thanks :thumbsup:

BRAINZ ARE POWER by iovorobiev 2017-08-04T14:30:21Z

Nice twist on the zombie theme, I love the human frightened face when captured. However, making a horde seems to have only downside as when on created zombie dead you lose.

Bead on the moon by Hishicorne 2017-08-01T08:13:09Z

Great art, nice dialogue and music, but on the html version I can't interact with the client :/

Zombie Power Station by CodeChomper 2017-08-03T04:50:50Z

The games work well (maybe thanks to the fix), the slope is tricky and there is variety between the levels :thumbsup:

Embers by Mortadelegle 2017-08-06T12:10:30Z

Simple and very cute, well done :thumbsup:

Fuse Cell by christina-antoinette-neofotistou 2017-08-08T11:34:05Z

Superb idea and graphics! One of my favorite qame of the jam. Great job :thumbsup:

Mad Trax by boats 2017-08-04T05:54:22Z

Very nice ! Graphics are excellents, gameplay is simple but very enjoyable and it so cool to earn a new wagon!

The Last Light by Loktor 2017-08-01T08:41:07Z

Nice game with a good mood and good using of the lightning! It would have been very nice to keep a little more of the first interactions that changed the scenery.

The Shutdown by Silas Reinagel 2017-08-02T17:07:12Z

Wow that's a very big game with many assets and menus, the title screen alone could have taken almost 72 hours to be done. That's a big project

Gradient Descent by Zelos 2017-08-08T11:28:40Z

Very nice experience, mood and sounds are greats and the there are some contents. Well done :thumbsup:

No Sorcerer's Sky by TheFlyingKeyboard 2017-08-04T05:48:37Z

Interesting but the production menu should be build at the beginning, there are too many ways to get block by not building the right thing at the beginning. A button to close the production menu would also be nice as I reset my game many time while clicking to quickly on the wrong button.

Last Shine by Fran Segura 2017-08-07T18:00:20Z

That's very nice to have a beat'em up in the jam. Graphics are sweets. The story give a soul to the game :thumbsup:

The Last Frontier by Drag0mir 2017-08-06T11:55:10Z

I haven't understand how to move up when you"re at the bottom of the level. Bullets are indeed very smalls. Sometimes my character seems to jump more higher than others.

The game is working and you have plenty space to improve it :thumbsup:

Constellation Exploration by matfernandestt 2017-08-09T17:41:06Z

Not a big fan of the gameover sentence and the fact that we always restart at the 1st level. But it's a nice and simple game, well done :thumbsup:

Robby Goes Rogue by Mars 2017-08-07T20:10:10Z

It seems difficult to use unreal engine on a quick game jam but you've done it, well done.

THIRST by Togis 2017-08-04T05:35:29Z

Graphics are very sweet the gameplay works well and looks like a board games.

To escape from the prison of robots by Egor Iv 2017-08-02T16:32:19Z

A nice Mario like

Voodoo Lockdown by Antti Haavikko 2017-08-09T18:51:48Z

Very nice, superb idea and well produced. I'm impressed :thumbsup:

Lantern by Kaban 2017-08-01T22:20:44Z

Nice art ^^

SpaceDrain by NekuSoul 2017-08-04T05:16:16Z

The drain concept is very nice, well done

Artifact Dive by AdroitConceptions 2017-08-08T15:42:52Z

The labyrinth stays unknown as it procedurally generated with works well. The game could be greatly improved with some better graphics but well done :thumbsup:

Temple of Illumination by Johngun 2017-08-04T06:08:51Z

Nicely done/ There is something tricky about the controls as you can't wall jump back after falling and trhe difficulty escalated quickly but the levels are smart and stay playable :thumbsup:

Veggie Power by SpaceSparkle 2017-08-02T11:57:18Z

The charm system is nice but it seems that I can't pickup items :/ on the web version. The main menu is also cropped when not on fullscreen mode.

Doesn't Match by Eric Florio 2017-08-01T09:50:17Z

Art, gameplay, Love it but damn that's hard!

NOT ALONE by Xephrys 2017-08-06T12:35:08Z

Graphics fit very well the game theme. Frightening ^^ Well done :thumbsup:

Berzerk Hunt by TheFunAttic 2017-08-09T17:18:44Z

Very nice, I love the graphics and the energy! The gameplay is also pleasing and the skills to unlock are very cool :thumbsup:

It should have cool to have the attacks on both side but it's not a real problem.

Have you tested my survivor game ? - https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/titan-defend-earth-before-its-too-late

Botken: Assault and Battery by Toone 2017-08-04T06:56:17Z

Superb graphics, maybe the best I've seen in this jam. And well polished animations and moves. Great Job!

Back Home by Angry Squirrels 2017-08-02T12:07:35Z

Very nice, beautiful, one of my best games on jam :thumbsup:

Plug Me by hav24 2017-08-06T13:10:12Z

Superb polishing! the game is great and the running out of power platform fits perfectly with the theme. And I love the character that plug itself upside down.

Well done! :thumbsup:

CosmoCows by Gama Croma 2017-08-02T12:03:15Z

This is working, well done ^^

Get Rich Efficiently by CobaltRisen 2017-07-31T21:51:08Z

Wow that's quite an achievement to have set up all this. well done!

The Last Question by xaedes 2017-08-06T12:03:28Z

That's not really a game but that's an interesting adaptation, well done!

Delivery Drain by Thorneto 2017-08-08T15:51:28Z

The GTA theme is a nice idea, especially the smartphone. Anyway, I think that it's too difficult as there is no indication outside the smartphone on where to pick things and deliver them. Colors changes in buildings could also have served markers. The game is working and that a big deal yet :thumbsup:

Baby Space Saucer by Drew1888 2017-08-02T17:34:03Z

Enjoyable match game, nicely done

Battery Low by Freedom Is Slavery 2017-08-09T17:34:57Z

That's a nice idea to have charger matching the phone ^^ t's a pity that the sounds are quite annoying.

Caffeine Raid by Cataractar 2017-08-03T11:21:34Z

Very nice infiltration game, the mom approaching is effectively very scary ^^

Energy Scraps by Royoyo 2017-08-07T18:09:33Z

Great graphics, gameplay is little difficult with the slow projectiles but that's very nice :thumbsup:

V.E.S.T.A.L.E. by kromeboy 2017-07-31T21:56:10Z

The concept is very funny ^^

Power Core by AugusteTheClown 2017-08-06T16:49:43Z

Towers seems to be a little overpowered as when you build some at the beginning everything works alone and you just have to bring some cells. Anyway the game is working, great job :thumbsup:

Politics - Rome by Julisep 2017-08-03T13:30:08Z

Nice graphics (even if I was surprised by the rotated sprites with the perspective). I like the atmosphere but It seems that doing almost nothing is a good way to go.

Power Plant by Autumnotopia 2017-08-03T12:38:30Z

Nice puzzles! I had some trouble to figure that I can use the plank bu then it was sweet.

Power Running? You'd Better Go Catch It! by dgollahon 2017-08-03T06:49:45Z

Nice work, the sound need to be tuned down imho

Legend of Sunflower by johnnydalvi 2017-08-06T12:43:35Z

Nice game, you're enemies are very sweets but it's sometime difficult to understand the boundaries of the sun flower.

daemon by bombjack 2017-08-01T22:52:18Z

Very nice ambiance and the game is playing smoothly :thumbsup:

Magnetic Power by TomDev 2017-08-02T19:09:19Z

that's an interesting interaction system

M. O. P. S. by DaniilGaponov 2017-08-03T06:05:03Z

I love the graphics and that's a very nice builder, but everything costing energy that seems that seems quite difficult to progress after building one of each basic energy generator.

Battery Worm by ExciteMike 2017-08-05T07:42:47Z

Very nice worms variation with 3D and a Rez graphic theme, well done :thumbsup:

Scale of Life by ilya_kozlov 2017-08-04T06:02:06Z

Graphics are cute as hell! Well done :thumbsup:

Light Switch Crusader by TedScottPilgrim 2017-08-04T17:42:38Z

Very fun and also creepy theme. The voice acting is very sweet. Great idea :thumbsup:

Deleted by maaxoom 2017-08-04T14:38:42Z

Nice gamepad support, the mechanic is fun even if it seems to have no real difficulty. I would have set "fire" on right trigger and "recharge" on left trigger, because triggers are smoother buttons. Nice entry :thumbsup:

SpaceY by luckyy 2017-08-02T19:00:05Z

Very nice, sweet graphics & animations. Great work :thumbsup:

Wayside : A world awaits you by TheCodeFactory 2017-08-01T22:38:34Z

Nice variation on the rubber band system

Fall Sleep by MichelAlonso 2017-08-01T09:30:10Z

Sweet game, I was also lost with helicopter (that was a great addition)

Powerless Miner by MajamiLTU 2017-08-01T22:41:22Z

Nice system and level evolution

Last Train Out by amarcu 2017-08-04T18:01:48Z

Hi guys, your game is very great, the switch between the characters is very cool, handle this big machinery is refreshing, arts and sounds are great :thumbsup:

By the way I have the feeling that **my game is quite the sequel**, have you tested it? - https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/titan-defend-earth-before-its-too-late

Lost Cluster by Raymoclaus 2017-08-01T08:46:17Z

The exploration is nice but as the space is very big maybe some hints could have been a nice addition.

Step out of the light by Zdeno 2017-08-02T19:20:12Z

Very nice, puzzles are cool, robot speeches are excellents. Maybe it lack feedback to better understand the lack of energy

Runnerbot LD39Entry by Pixel Game Wizard 2017-08-03T05:07:03Z

Nice Gameplay, simple and efficient. The level design difficulty increase smoothly, well done :thumbsup:

Lost Soul by daviddiagonza 2017-08-04T06:16:37Z

The beginning is not very clear but then it's cool and the differences between characters are funny.

Torch Boy by FloBar 2017-08-01T22:27:32Z

Cute, precise and well executed. Well done :thumbsup:

The Breach by Vlad Chechyotkin 2017-08-04T06:40:13Z

Well Done, impressive gameplay for 72 hours game and de dark soul like level design work well except for the first door interrupter that happen to late for the player to fully understand what to do. After the this the game is really easy. Great job: thumbsup:

Coffee is Power by Tyler Miller 2017-08-03T05:48:05Z

Very nice graphics(opt out), nice experience but is it a bug that when you write lines of code no hours passed and no progress is made?

PLUG and PLAY by Lishnor 2017-08-01T08:56:14Z

Very nice, neat graphics! On the little downsides the fail effect is very hardcore and I encountered some bugs with the cable on the 3rd or 4th level.

Enter the dark tunnel by Mvdvelden 2017-08-04T05:11:53Z

Well done, when I understood the icons it was cool :thumbsup: I expected to see few zombies at the end but I know that the time was short for the compo ^^ Maybe a key to light up the lantern could give a gameplay smoother.

電源 (dengen) by hndmrsh 2017-08-03T06:45:16Z

that's a nice board game entry type. Graphics are neat, well done :thumbsup:

Office Wars by Lumous 2017-08-01T09:03:10Z

Nice idea and buildings AI was quite a step. Not sure while I was in the red team as I was green though.

RedScript - Out of BrainZ by Rafael Souza 2017-08-01T09:36:23Z

Nice art and great twist on the zombie game. I was quite confused too with the eating system.

TITAN, Defend Earth before it's too late by MichaelTWG 2017-07-31T21:44:06Z

Thanks a lot ! yeah, power is on the back of the titan

TITAN, Defend Earth before it's too late by MichaelTWG 2017-07-31T22:29:47Z

Thanks for the reviews! @Sun, as there is a little time remaining I'm uploading 2 corrections regarding your feedback. And yes 40K was a part of my inspirations.

TITAN, Defend Earth before it's too late by MichaelTWG 2017-08-01T09:54:13Z

Thanks a lot for your feedbacks ! :thumbsup:

@tkuusis Yes the best way to optimize the flame thrower is to use it with the shield ^^

TITAN, Defend Earth before it's too late by MichaelTWG 2017-08-01T20:58:05Z

Thanks for your feedbacks, yes there are many rooms for improvements as a cooperative mode or enemy variations.

That's heartwarmer to see that you liked it :heart:

TITAN, Defend Earth before it's too late by MichaelTWG 2017-08-02T09:03:32Z

@james-dunlap that's a very good idea, by the way you didn't use the jumps to move faster between seats ?

@mrtwister there is a bug on the pause menu indeed, avoid it ^^ and very nice advice for the controls. Not sure if publishing a patch regarding those issues fit in the Ludum Dare Jam?

TITAN, Defend Earth before it's too late by MichaelTWG 2017-08-03T04:52:31Z

thanks a lot, yes I will work on new enemies and other improvements :thumbsup:

TITAN, Defend Earth before it's too late by MichaelTWG 2017-08-03T15:15:35Z

Thanks a lot for your feedbacks. That give few ideas to improve the jumps on a further version.

And I added a patched version in the description that ease controls a little.

TITAN, Defend Earth before it's too late by MichaelTWG 2017-08-06T08:13:44Z

Thanks a lot for your feedback. Yes I was short in time to add other ennemies and to guide more efficiently the player. I will work on a version with more variety soon.

TITAN, Defend Earth before it's too late by MichaelTWG 2017-08-09T18:55:53Z

Thanks all for your feedback.

@flaterectomy I will try to work on the contrasts, have you tried the patched version ? http://www.thewildgames.com/games/LD39JamPatch/Titan_LD39Patched.html

There is a kind of a safety net in it.

TITAN, Defend Earth before it's too late by MichaelTWG 2017-08-20T14:51:34Z

Thanks for your feedbacks!

@coauctor you need to use the seat on the back to resupply and other weapons like the flame thrower and the shield are very useful depending on the situation.

@ferran-benavente “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind” isn't a direct inspiration, do you have a picture of the titan you're thinking of?

Tibet Quest by hawke 2017-08-04T06:52:47Z

Very good mood, sounds are excellent. Maybe timings could be tuned a little as spamming space seems to be a good way to go and enemies respawn hyper quickly.

Flask of Destruction by Melowicyan 2017-08-03T12:55:29Z

Very nice, there are few bugs on how the troops are shown but the rest work very well. Well done! Graphics are also very cute :thumbsup:

Gravity Assist by pklaschka 2017-08-01T09:13:30Z

I like the mood and the gravity system. I think that the first level could have a bigger stock of power as its quit difficult to anticipate the gravity at first. Maybe the stock of power could be feedbacked slightly differently to see the actual part that we're using directly on the stock.

Murder on 39th Street by vadinci 2017-08-01T08:25:59Z

Very nice, I love the graphics and the mood but there is no android build?
