LD45 — Start with nothing

Little Robot Run by KunoNoOni 2019-10-09T04:56:52Z

Enjoyed this game, it was fun but quite challeneging. I might have preferred one or two extra lives. It was pretty easy to finish the first three items, but after that I kept dying to mistakes I started to get frustrated.

Nonetheless I liked the audio and difficulty, good luck in the ratings!

Sword Of Nothing by Birdlay 2019-10-09T05:23:10Z

Ended up completely the game after almost giving up because I was lost, the gates seemed a bit misdirecting. Although, I loved the last lever that required an interesting method to using the controls. I only need about level 7 to get finish the game, but the graphics, audio, art, and atmosphere were incredible!

Overall I loved it! Good luck with the ratings!

Hey, really liked this game! Quite a challenge a I got a fair amount of Dark-Souls style combat, very slow pace with well timed fast movements! The biggested challenge I had with was getting the correct position to dogde into the bullets. I think this was wonderfully made, especially for a compo!

Loved the game! Good luck with the ratings :smile:

Start With Not Hinge by AZAMATIKA 2019-10-07T00:32:38Z

Had fun with this, and the graphics are great, although it seems like in the early stages the modifiers don't do a whole lot.

Hoping for a local single player, but I like the artwork and sounds.

Laughed because of the broken english

The player movement speed felt kinda slugish, and the mix between top down and side view art was a little weird, but overall an interesting concept.

Mr.Grind by iozsaygi 2019-10-07T01:20:06Z

It's a neat game, but it seems like the gold/s doesn't increase past 1/s, love the programmer style graphics!

Trash Dragon by carloso 2019-10-08T19:00:01Z

This is pretty cool, I like the graphics and animations. It fits the theme, and it's a bit challenging!

Cult War by Ksandr7 2019-10-07T20:46:22Z

I loved the art, music, and sounds but the gameplay felt unfinished and after fully upgrading everything it ended up making me lose all upgrades and I couldn't gain any more gold or buy upgrades from then on.

@binarysystem I understand, but we tried our best to use the walking animation and the other enemies to give some contextual clues.

Unlock Hero by Plazmaz 2019-10-07T20:30:29Z

@jeremy-ryan How many tries did it take? Was it easy or difficult? I'm glad you were able to finish all unlocks!

Unlock Hero by Plazmaz 2019-10-07T20:33:43Z

@finnthepirate lol is your mouse alright? We didn't really have time to implement some of the FX we would have liked.

Unlock Hero by Plazmaz 2019-10-07T20:49:01Z

@jeremy-ryan Thank you so much for the kind words, and during the end you really need to kinda run them in a loop and bunch them up, otherwise you just get over run. I'm glad you enjoyed the game.

Good luck on your game ratings as well!

Unlock Hero by Plazmaz 2019-10-08T19:02:37Z

@mira @philarmon @serhm thanks for the feedback! We really tried to take the theme in the most literal way we could think of, and I'm glad you guys enjoy the unlocking of the world, UI, and colors.

Hope you all enjoyed playing it as much as we did creating it!

Unlock Hero by Plazmaz 2019-10-12T06:45:36Z

@joe-williamson Thanks so much for the feedback, and I agree the later game upgrades aren't the most balanced. I was able to get a [good score by lumping them up](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/45/unlock-hero/$175506).

We considered doing certain upgrades like: enemy health, player health, damage, and more levels of platforms vertically. Honestly though, we just didn't have the time to implement it. I'm really glad you enjoyed our game!

Universe Inc. by Czorio 2019-10-07T01:00:21Z

This was an intersting cinematic game, and the idea kinda fit the theme but I was hoping for me after the ending. Great use of graphics and sfx even though they weren't original, the level design and lighting was intriguing.

Materialistic Cat by tarfield 2019-10-07T02:03:43Z

This is great! I loved the ending, very deep!

Cell Ships by Scott Armstrong 2019-10-07T00:40:27Z

Really cool concept, but piecing together the ship was difficult and couldn't rotate pieces. Also the movement wasn't super obvious, nonetheless great job!

Cell by SirRed 2019-10-09T05:32:32Z

Really nice game! Loved the graphics, audio, and interesting take on the theme. The only suggestion I have is to not restart the music when you die, dying often really made me notice it and it started to distract me a bit. Not sure how easy it would be from a coding perspective.

Regardless, I really enjoyed this game! Good luck in the ratings.
