LD39 — Running out of Power

Coffy by NickZangus 2017-08-03T12:40:58Z

I like it. I think a mobile port of this game could do very well in the mobile-sphere. It's simple, cute, but not that easy. Good job on the game!

Got to say I love the music too!

Inefficient Plasma Weapon by schizoid2k 2017-08-03T12:49:26Z

Cool twist on the asteroid genre. I laughed at the explosion sound! I'm sad that there was some music in the menu but not in-game though :(

Recoil - Mike Said No Short Titles by Cynical Monkey 2017-08-02T13:02:17Z

The puzzle aspect of the game is great. I like those kind of game, very relaxing... on mute. The music while you play is too exciting and upbeat for my taste. It would have been beneficial to have a more mellow tune. Overall a good entry for LD though because it is quite fun! Congrats!

Truck, Fuel my Rockets by garethjenkins 2017-08-03T13:05:56Z

Great game! The kind of game that would be fun played split screen 4 players. The sounds were fun, and the graphics feel polished. Good job!

Night Shift by galacticglum 2017-08-01T18:05:09Z

Not bad for a Sokoban type of game. The power implementation is a nice twist, making you think before acting. It would work well on a mobile device. Good job!

LOW BATT by simonhutchinson 2017-08-01T19:19:20Z

I feel like it is a game because I had FUN "playing" it. I am glad you did this for the LD39, it shows was kind of different things you can do with a theme. I would have never thought of a musical game. Props to you!

Running Voltgun by sinclairstrange 2017-08-03T15:25:04Z

Awesome game! The kind of game I would like a proper release for it. I'm a big Mega Man fan and I had the same vibe from it. Excellent job!

Bulbino's Quest! by alpenter 2017-08-03T15:36:47Z

I like the graphics and the gameplay. Good job!

Lucis by Kristian David 2017-08-03T14:23:16Z

Lovely graphics and the sounds are great, but music would go a long way to create a better mood. The lighting effects are nice!

Tales of a Hamster: A Clickable Journey by 0uicmoi 2017-08-01T01:52:17Z

Good job to all of you. The graphics and animation are lovely, and although I am a tad tired of clicker games, this one fits the theme and is quite original!

The Last Crane by Headjump 2017-08-01T01:56:44Z

Very unfortunate that you didn't finish your game. I think you should continue working on it because I feel like it's a little game that could do well on mobile. Don't give up!

Mad Trax by boats 2017-08-02T14:37:22Z

CHOO CHOO! All aboard the top 10!

The visual, sound, style (80s baby!), mix of genre... everything just ticks. Overall one of the best game considering it feels complete. Phenomenal job!

Snow Train by stupidpawn 2017-08-03T15:05:35Z

Overall a really good game that feels complete. Could have used some music but the other sounds are great and the gameplay is fun.

I hate those bandits though. Why won't they let me ride my train in peace??

e Negative by jhandsy 2017-08-01T17:59:26Z

I WANT MORE!

I've always been a fan of NES-type platformers. The old Marios, the Mega Man... especially Mega Man! And this game gives me the same vibe. The sounds, the graphics (very talented graphic designer!), the tight controls. I'm just glad the check points are at each entrance instead of midway.

Please, please give this game some love and continue developing it. Lots of potential.

Indiana Stones by Akshay Katare 2017-08-03T14:41:45Z

Graphics are nice, I like the animation overall as well. I wasn't sure if there was a way for me to regain fire or health... so I just ran around evading monsters until I was game over. It think the style would be very fitting for an adventure game! Keep up the good work and well done.

Deep by tenshi42 2017-08-01T14:20:41Z

Mood is great and the whole submarine thing is different. Unfortunately saw a few bugs that prevented me from continuing without restarting (fell through the console while trying to stand up, got stuck in a crate...). The music and sounds add a lot to the mood too. Good job on your first jam!

Universal Powers by Snowy 2017-08-01T15:40:16Z

Reached situation 15. As soon as I saw the cover, I knew I wanted to try the game. Well done on the graphic and the music! The effects seemed random sometimes, but the humor offsets the negative effects. Cool game overall!

Energy Thief by Fireshake 2017-08-02T13:22:43Z

Like Pac-Man in space. The concept is nothing to scream about, but the execution was well done and the concept of being in the gameboy screen zoomed-in is a nice touch. Good job!

MICROSCOPIC by XedithDev 2017-08-03T15:29:23Z

Lovely little game. Congrats on the release.

Maximum Velocity by rdm 2017-08-02T13:56:39Z

Graphics are nice! UI could use some improvement but the environment is great. Like @shinmera, I couldn't jump to another car but at one point I jump on one, the bus exploded, and I got catapulted waaay up high and I could see a farm far from my position.

I'm just sad I didn't get decapitated in a tunnel.

Coffee Hero: Powered by Coffee by Guilb 2017-08-02T14:12:57Z

I don't like coffee, but I liked this game quite a bit! Graphics are on point, controls are tight and it fits the theme perfectly.

For whatever reason though, the sugar always ended up at the bottom of the cup.

Dadoor by IgorFolz 2017-08-01T14:34:56Z

Assets were well made and the overall ambience of the "dungeon" was great. I felt like the Wizard wasn't losing his energy fast enough and I was in no rush to save him. I could just run around in circle while fighting a monster here and there and the door would open at one point without taking too many risks.

Well done on the main menu screen and the loading animation! Loved that detail.

SpaceY by luckyy 2017-08-01T18:12:26Z

I would love to try your game since it looks cool, but the download is down :(

Powerless Miner by MajamiLTU 2017-08-03T14:29:42Z

Cool little puzzle game! The darkness plus the fact you can still continue and win is a nice twist. Bats are assholes. Musics could use a little less repetition but nonetheless a really solid entry! Good job!

Batteries in the Dungeon by DerpyJish 2017-08-01T15:24:01Z

You should be proud, very proud of your first Ludum Dare! The game feels complete, and it quite fun to play. The game would have benefited a lot from some background music, but overall great game! :)

Abandon Ship by Futil 2017-08-01T18:26:51Z

Spectacular game! Top ten material for sure. The mood is incredible, and the whole "old tv" shader greatly adds to the effects and sci-fi elements.

Selfie Or Die by Lazy Goblins 2017-08-01T01:41:26Z

Got rescued, continued to explore, went under the ocean and lived the rest of my life as a fallen hero! Liked the graphics quite a bit.

Flicker by roaderful 2017-08-02T13:14:55Z

Cool, cool game! I love puzzle games and after reading the guide, I can say this is one of those games that are just fun. Stick to it, cherish it and build a story around it, and you got yourself a great game. Good job everyone!

Power Town : Dr. Merdioneth's Attack! by REDKAY 2017-08-02T13:40:32Z

Great game! I enjoyed the little story and the graphics are cool. I feel like the "low vision" mode is a bit too low vision, especially since the monsters can spot you from further than that and they follow you around.

Well done everyone, a good rating that is well deserved.

Electric Castle by Mr Marcgenesis 2017-08-01T02:08:26Z

@jose-alvim and @domrein : I fixed the link... turns out I didn't made the game "public" on itch.io. Rookie mistake.

Electric Castle by Mr Marcgenesis 2017-08-01T02:29:47Z

Thanks everyone! The game gets quite difficult at level 5, but there are only 6 levels... and level 6 is more puzzle than timing. Although since you are running out of power I guess the whole game should be considered a "timed puzzle"!

Electric Castle by Mr Marcgenesis 2017-08-01T02:30:39Z

Hey @krathya, any more information on the bug? Would love to fix it for future updates.

Electric Castle by Mr Marcgenesis 2017-08-01T02:31:47Z

@justine-griffin, noted. Thanks for your feedback!

Electric Castle by Mr Marcgenesis 2017-08-01T02:34:34Z

@connorses, I completely agree... I had soccer tonight with the kids and didn't have time to change level 5 afterwards before the submission time was over. I would have probably made it a bit easier :(

Then again, in a small game like that, having one very tough level - that you can win - makes for a proud moment :)

Electric Castle by Mr Marcgenesis 2017-08-01T17:17:48Z

Thanks for the feedback @snowy! I uploaded a fix for the bouncing pad and adjusted the music volume at the same time. Keep in mind that the desktop version is more balanced. No clue why the HTML5 version doesn't behave the same.

Electric Castle by Mr Marcgenesis 2017-08-02T02:27:44Z

@branquelo the HTML5 version is not balanced at all. For whatever reason, the sounds behave differently than in the desktop version :(

Not Politically Correct by Jaggent-aka-shouke 2017-08-01T02:06:52Z

Cool game! Made me feel like I was playing one of those hardcore simulations from back in the DOS days. No manual, no tutorial, just you and your brain. Definitely a game worth exploring.

P.S: Right-click the main menu made the game #priorities

PotatIO by Ash Duong 2017-08-01T16:53:30Z

Loved the fun facts about potatoes! Nuking the planet with tons of potatoes was great too. I didn't think I would spend an hour today growing potatoes.. but I sure did. Good job!
