LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

The Red Ribbon Killer by Avon 2017-12-05T13:04:52Z

The story and the graphics were excellent. Maybe the game itself was a little bit too straightforward - just needed to click all the stuff in the screen and then you could go to the next stage. However, the overall mood of the game was nice.

Being Plundered by bradur 2017-12-08T07:58:46Z

Very nice game! At first I felt that there is quite a lot of things to learn but as soon as I learned the basics I really enjoyed the game. I even managed to reach 100000$. :slight_smile: Maybe the AI of the pirates could have been more sophisticated (for example anticipating the direction I am flying) and controlling the spaceship was a bit sluggish. However, the overall design and implementation is very good! :slight_smile:

Laws Of Attraction by SelfTitled 2017-12-05T14:47:19Z

Very nice game. The theme was nicely interpreted although I think your game is more about "the less you have, the better it is". There is so much levels that I didn't even have time to finish the game. Maybe there is some awesome ending, I missed. Good job, keep on doing great games! :slight_smile:

Travel Light by Shivur 2017-12-07T06:53:00Z

Nice idea, but not that well implemented. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I got stuck all the time (without even picking up any stuff). I played the game on OSX and have java version 1.8.0_144.

Break-In by ChuiGum 2017-12-08T07:12:52Z

Nice idea, I really liked the game!

Shooter Guy by sirikan 2017-12-05T13:37:11Z

Very funny game! In some point I got frustrated running along those long corridors. Maybe you should just downscale the levels in xy-direction? Well, that would ruin your doors and other stuff, so maybe remaking the levels is not that trivial at all. However, good job, I enjoyed a lot playing your game! :slight_smile:

Money Laundering Simulator by candlesan 2017-12-07T18:35:36Z

I enjoyed this game a lot. Nice voice acting! :slight_smile:

Fluffy Space Escape by potatolain 2017-12-10T12:44:37Z

Wow, a NES game, respect! I managed to complete 6 levels or so, but actually I didn't understand all the rules (e.g. difference between pink and blue tiles, how does the AI of enemies work etc). This was very nicely done. I might take a look at the source code, since it must be quite a challenge to make a NES game. :slight_smile:

Circus Tyke Balance Hype by quixatocs 2017-12-05T07:23:20Z

I learned the game quickly, but also got bored quite soon. Even though I didn't enjoy the game very much, I must say that graphics and audio was very well done!

SnakeBall by TomDev 2017-12-05T13:56:22Z

What a great game! It has a very clear and unique idea that is implemented nicely. Good job! :slight_smile:

Xmas: Sorted by Liquidream 2017-12-08T07:26:42Z

Very nice game! I reached level 4 after couple of tries. The only thing, I would wished, is to have some funny 8bit soundfx and music.

Information OVERLOAD by GeorgeBGreen 2017-12-05T06:56:11Z

Very funny game! I enjoyed the self-irony of the story especially. Shooting enemies was sometimes quite difficult since you could only shoot horizontal directions and the enemies were positioned inconveniently. But maybe that was made on purpose to emphasize the story. Keep on doing great games! :slight_smile:

Blob Hell by ryuzaki_mrl 2017-12-07T18:45:26Z

This game is quite challenging... maybe even too challenging for me! But I still liked the game! :slight_smile:

Watch Out Your Head by mipelius 2017-12-07T07:34:24Z

Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it! Maybe you are right about the controls that are not that well adjusted. It used to be way more bad at early development stage, though! :grin: It would be nice to hear how many of you have managed to play it through. @tvance: Actually there are some checkpoints, so you just need to try harder :wink:

Watch Out Your Head by mipelius 2017-12-08T06:04:27Z

Ok, maybe there could be more checkpoints, but I kinda like the idea people getting nervous hitting their heads against the wall again and again :grin:

SpaceCab by bobombe 2017-12-05T12:26:45Z

It took me a while to understand what's going on in this game, but that was because I was too lazy to read the description. I enjoyed the game, but maybe in some point I would have hoped to see it evolving (i.e. getting gradually harder). But anyway, the theme was nicely interpreted and I think the game has fresh approach to SHMUP genre.

Greedy Dungeons by Nils -Gecko- Munch 2017-12-07T18:24:37Z

Best Ludum Dare game I've played so far :slight_smile:

Infected Pong by PhillSerrazina 2017-12-07T17:31:44Z

What an annoying game, I LOVE IT! :grin:

Fiscal Dungeon by Tom Panton 2017-12-10T12:08:06Z

Very nice game, I love these dungeon adventures! Maybe the level design could have been more interesting since sometimes I just managed to run past all the enemies without shooting anyone.

Squire by mambojambo 2017-12-09T14:53:04Z

It took a while to understand how play this game, but it was rewarding when I finally reached those tacos! :slight_smile: As others have pointed out, there was something wrong with the archer (maybe that was intentional, some weird joke I missed)... But very nice overall mood in the game, I especially liked the music!

Obligatory Christmas game :D by Beege1 2017-12-09T15:14:01Z

Nice little game. Maybe it would have been nice to have something new stuff happening after playing a while. So, the gaming experience is quite static, I think.

Let's mix some drinks! by Sintel 2017-12-10T11:52:00Z

This game is so realistic drinking simulator that I almost threw up while playing it! :grin: Well done!

Catlady by oson 2017-12-07T07:17:09Z

I reached day 8. Funny concept, but picking up/dropping stuff was sometimes quite hard. I still had fun playing your game!

Conversations by hillexed 2017-12-08T06:41:25Z

I didn't manage to solve the rules... :confused: However, the game has very nice graphics and sounds and the whole idea is kinda unique, I think. :slight_smile:

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Tetrario by mipelius 2018-04-23T05:13:44Z

Thank you for your comment! I added some instructions to the description. Hopefully it makes more sense now! 🙂

Tetrario by mipelius 2018-04-25T03:25:51Z

@antti-haavikko : Whoa!! You must have spent a lot of time playing my game and analysing it. :slight_smile:

I agree on the most of the issues you mentioned. It took 20+ hours to get the tetris mechanics work properly, so I didn't have enough time for level design, player controller adjustments or visual effects. Yeah, maybe it wasn't a good idea to prevent player from pushing blocks while standing on them, even if it's 'realistic'. I literally didn't have any time to think about the input settings, but probably you're right, for example [space] for jumping would've been nice. I think that WASD is either for left-handed people or for situations, when right hand is needed for more important things, but of course it would've been easy to add it as an option.

Thanks for your deep analysis, I really appreciate it!

Tetrario by mipelius 2018-05-03T18:41:02Z

Thanks @Aakoo ! 😊

Need for Coin: Island Hoppers by saoi-games 2018-04-24T10:32:16Z

Fun little car platformer, I enjoyed it! :slight_smile:
