LD42 — Running out of space (38)

Disk Allocation: Typing Spectacular by electr1ca 2018-09-01T08:40:19Z ♥ 1

Yay, I made it :D win type.PNG

Lost the first time but got it the second time! The difficulty was just right in my opinion, with the upgrades and all. It gets really intense but really fun at the same time and I loved how each stage had its own theme (coding, music, school etc.). I absolutely loved the graphics and animations, both the player and enemies are really charming :) It feels like if this was the fighting mechanic of a full game with story and all it will do well! :)

I didn't get any scripts at the very last stage+boss run after the upgrade though, I was worried though I managed to beat it. Perhaps one more script would be satisfying :D Oh and the script's effects work nicely too. I wasn't sure if I can keep all of them at once, though! I tried to limit myself to having 3 maximum at one point :)

Heirs Kingdom by Valter 2018-08-29T17:54:43Z ♥ 1

This was hilarious and fun, really enjoyed it! Loved the interactions between the characters - made me think about how to build the kingdom better the next round! Sound effects were great. The king and queen didn't react to the baby falling off which surprised me but still, LOL.

Demonic Digestion by DodoIta 2018-08-27T07:50:55Z ♥ 2

Amazing aesthetic, absolutely loved the graphics and audio. The gameplay was fun as well, I liked how the more you eat the more skulls there are. The huge skele was like _wow boss battle_ but ended sooner than I expected! I think all the small skulls helped, though if I get more control over the fight (more swords/other power ups maybe) it'll be even more fun. Super great overall :D

Cube Disposer by sh1rogane 2018-08-27T07:39:47Z ♥ 1

This was pretty fun! The animations and sound effects made it really satisfying :) Got to wave 13 from the first, never thought I'd be afraid of cubes haha. The variety of the enemies made it really interesting too! I realised I never actually used Q/E, though I'm not sure if that would've changed anything xD

You Wanna Pizza Me? by Elowan 2018-08-27T07:25:27Z ♥ 1

Nice game, would've liked to see my score at the end! I like how the theme was subtly incorporated into the mechanics :)

Running Out Of S.P.A.C.E by Ely Shaffir 2018-08-27T07:16:27Z ♥ 1

Gotta _love_ those references, there're so many of them. It kept me playing for quite a while, and at some points I feel like, this must be the last level, right? But nope there are more challenges ahead! (I stopped at the fire level) It was fun though, would have continued if i had more time!

Perhaps a steam gauge showing when our jetpack recharges would be good ^_^ Lovely graphics and music! Leeeroy Jenkins! :)

HAMMERSPACE by kaiclavier 2018-08-25T11:30:42Z ♥ 1

Super fun multiplayer game! Rare to find multiplayer in LD but this turned out great, the concept is really good! :D

Save the Tomatoes! by fractalsunrise 2018-08-25T10:34:48Z ♥ 2

This was super fun and my friend and I loved it! The graphics are adorable and music is enjoyable as well - and the levels were all so unique! One of my favourites this LD :) Capture.PNG

Inventory Apocalypse by Naruvan 2018-08-25T10:02:37Z ♥ 1

Really fun, I enjoyed the game :) The interactions between the objects, such as purifying the water/adding water into the bottle was pretty cool :D The game doesn't fully fit my screen though!

grOw by Sokuaisushi 2018-08-23T13:44:55Z ♥ 1

Really cool concept and nice puzzle game! The red and green colours are very intuitive, and there are many possible ways the levels could be made, so it's engaging too. Maybe a speed power up in some levels that will make you move faster (but grow at a slower rate across the same distance) would be fun? :D Just a thought c:

Polar Panic! At the Disco by PeachTreeOath 2018-08-21T04:51:24Z ♥ 2

A really nice game - loved the graphics and audio! I think the concept of controlling with the water is unique, although I took a few runs to realise that we can combine ice sheets! Reached Disco Inferno after a few runs. Perhaps more specific physics could be added to the game, such as moving slowly when clicking and moving quicker when it's a click and drag on the water - so that we can control our ice sheets better :)

The Red pixel by RainbowKappaGames 2018-08-17T10:55:40Z ♥ 1

Nice game! The animations are really nice and the overall design of the levels are well thought out. The controls were smooth and I really enjoyed playing this!

Vertex by MiracL 2018-08-17T10:45:18Z ♥ 1

Nice game, well polished and easy to pick up! Love the rate of advancement in the game and also the end where it scrolls to the bottom, neat animation there! The UI overall is really nice. Small thing though - if I spammed my arrow keys I can actually progress forever without penalty :p so perhaps you can add a penalty for a wrong key pressed if you decide to expand on the game! :)

Where's my kingdom?! by Nufflee 2018-08-17T10:32:55Z ♥ 1

I love how it feels like a board game in a video game, especially due to the 3D perspective :) The gameover page made me laugh, nice twist there XD Perhaps adding more troopers/units when new enemy units spawn or healing the troop after defeating a wave would make progression more rewarding! That said I really love the concept, smooth controls, and the unique experience the game gives!

Slay The Slimes by rk3Omega 2018-08-16T14:28:11Z ♥ 1

Really nice game! I tried both the compo and post-jam versions. The art and animations are really good, and the additions in the post-jam game made it even better! I agree that the post jam song is lit ;)

I might've preferred the the classic controls of space being jump (like in your image for the post), instead of space as attack, though after some time I got used to it! I would've also liked the edges of the map to be clearer made so that there won't be any surprise deaths haha. I jumped too far in the post-jam version and only saw the "go back" sign when i reached that part of the map and inevitably died, though that was quite funny in its own way xD

Overall smooth controls and has potential to become a rogue-like as you've mentioned! ^_^

R.O.O.M. (Really Obvious Objects Moving) by NorthernDevGuy 2018-08-16T09:47:04Z ♥ 0

The concept fits nicely with the theme and I think the overall gameplay is engaging. I like the story the game tried to tell and the music was great! The maps were nicely designed - from the starting room to the hallway and puzzle rooms. I think that focusing on making the jump feel smooth and intuitive is important since it is the core mechanic of the game, and some changes (such as adding more visual cues, or making it happen at a slightly slower speed from normal movements) may help! Cool entry for first LD!

Mass Coalesce by Jumpander 2018-08-15T15:30:52Z ♥ 1

The game is well put together - audio and mood was really amazing, I loved it! <3 Graphics are really neat and the concept of the world and species is cool as well. Gameplay can be more dynamic, such as solving puzzles, and enemies can be more threatening (hit harder)! :) Overall a beautiful creation <3

Space Runner 2048 by RAFFE 2018-08-15T14:25:33Z ♥ 2

Nice game, I loved the physics of all the objects! Also like the theme of rubber ducks throughout the game. At first I thought, wow, a soothing little game, and then I met the black hole. The transition for the music at the start could be smoother. Finally won the game after about 5 tries, and I love the soundtrack on Earth the most :) Cute that you can still move the astronaut around there. Overall a nice entry!

Intergalactic Inhabitance Mission by NNNIKKI 2018-08-15T14:07:16Z ♥ 0

Love the interface for menu screen, pause, and new highscore, with the alien symbols. Catchy tune and smooth controls that is quite intuitive! Neat game :)

Pre Alpha Build by PlusMinus 2018-08-15T13:24:30Z ♥ 3

A really good game, really fun and addictive, and love the way the progression works! One of the best games I've played. Great pixel art and stunning soundtrack - I really love them. It has a lot of potential! :)

Pop it! by LJay 2018-08-15T12:53:17Z ♥ 2

Fun little game! The different popcorn and sound effects are really cute, and I liked how the smallest corn popped into the biggest popcorn with wiggly brows xD

The Subway: horror within by Bibilega 2018-08-15T12:42:53Z ♥ 2

Incredible art with gorgeous character designs and a really cool skill set for the player! The varied responses of the passengers made it really fun. Love the small details in the artwork such as 666 on the train and the background of the train when you use the burst of rage skill! Amazing work!!

Steerbear by Skelpdar 2018-08-15T11:38:54Z ♥ 1

Lovely background, nice animations, cute bear - would have preferred it if mounting ladders were the arrow keys too, that'll be more intuitive :)

The Legend of Cactus by Astericon 2018-08-15T11:22:52Z ♥ 0

Neat game, and I like the movement and bomb placement mechanics! Flying cacti are awesome. Perhaps a dash action could be added so we can move faster at times :)

She is helmet by Stegobubbles 2018-08-15T11:11:36Z ♥ 1

The idea is really innovative! The art style is quite endearing as well. I beat the bread king but I think he sat on me and I died? I was a little sad, haha. Perhaps a checkpoint before bigger battles would be rewarding for players! ^_^

Feed cats by Noini 2018-08-15T10:43:54Z ♥ 0

Pixel cats were cute! I loved it when the cats grew bigger, it's a nice surprise. I think being able to do something other than upgrades (such as stroking the cat to increase happiness, for example) would make it more interesting!

Follow The Light by DraperDanMan 2018-08-15T08:19:39Z ♥ 1

Ooh, gameplay was really smooth and audio was great! The sounds of the footsteps and jumps added a lot to the experience as well. The falling and double jump moments were fun when you hit space at just the right time and it takes you really far. The game made me want to continue playing for a long time, the challenge and reward feels just right :) I only stopped when I met the (likely) above mentioned bug!

How to Bee a MailBee by Hugimugi7 2018-08-15T07:53:52Z ♥ 0

This is a really fun game! The physics of the bee and package are pretty cool - I could push the boxes to recipients and attempt to throw the package at them if the dark space covered them, and that created different ways of completing a level. The music is upbeat and the pixel art is so beautiful! Thumbs up!

Move_LD42 by Diablo 2018-08-15T07:30:32Z ♥ 1

Nice animation for map generation and indicating where the player is on the map! The jump mechanic is different from usual yet easy to pick up, and overall it was neat game. I think a level system with different starting maps will be a pretty fun addition to your game, if you intend to work on it more! :)

OPEN-ME.ZIP by Adam Harms 2018-08-15T06:51:53Z ♥ 1

I love this so much. The opening of the game and realising that I am functioning as a bot set a really interesting mood/feeling for me. The interactions are simple yet interesting and direct ways of presenting how a bot functions. I like how programmes are needed to be used for multiple actions at different times, with the theme incorporated well into that. Got a hunch when I reached the photographs, and teared up at the end. Amazing music, smooth gameplay transitions, and a storyline that is so well written and directed! Thank you so much for this game, it was really an experience! :')

Spacebars by The Triumvirate 2018-08-15T05:32:37Z ♥ 0

Very creative interpretation of the theme, and I love how the room reacts to the input of any key it has! Really lovely touch to it. Great entry!

Flesh Packer by nervous-composers 2018-08-15T05:21:09Z ♥ 1

A great entry with amazing humour, love the texts and clues that unfold as the game progresses! Music was spot on too!

Taint - A LD42 Game by Pyja and BKAT by Pyjamaboy 2018-08-15T03:22:51Z ♥ 1

Lovely graphics and music for your game, one of my favourites so far! The levels have a smooth transition as well. There might be a bug where I cant jump at some point after dismounting the broom! I think this game has a lot of potential. Great job! :)

Words Dancer by Ango 2018-08-15T03:08:23Z ♥ 1

Really cool concept and I enjoyed playing it! The mechanics of the game is quite unique and I like the time moving only when you move system, it gives players another way to strategise :)

CATSITTER by PureGarlic 2018-08-14T18:40:03Z ♥ 1

This game is adorable, I had some laughs when I accidentally moved my mouse too fast into a bunch of cats and they all flew off at an amazing speed. Smooth gameplay with cute graphics and sounds, it was enjoyable playing your game!

Andromeda by oats 2018-08-14T10:03:08Z ♥ 1

Really enjoyed this game, it is deeper than it first seemed! Always pleasantly surprised when discovering a new resource/building. It gave me similar vibes to the text adventure game "A Dark Room". "The Journey has taken 2642 years" for me :) Cool that you used two interpretations of running out of space, and this game really has the sci-fi feel to it, it was great. The visuals for the ground and builds could be bigger!

Falling Town by Centauri 2018-08-14T08:53:03Z ♥ 0

Something felt good about hoarding a lot of future skyscrapers, LOL

Thank you for making this game! Love the art and catchy music :)

Dear Leader's Diet Plan by Historymaker118 2018-08-14T07:58:07Z ♥ 1

Really love the audio! It was fun learning the mechanics and bouncing him around :D
