LD46 — Keep it alive

LD 46 - Protect the planets by milano23 2020-04-22T19:26:23Z

Really like the game. One problem I had was placing turrets down on the planet. I had trouble trying to move the turrets to a location I wanted to move it to. It would always move too fast or too slow around the planet. I also found a bug where you could go into negative money if you purchased the increase turrets counter. I'm guessing you're only checking to see if you have positive money when doing purchases. But small nitpicks aside I had a lot of fun playing this game.

Me And My Bat by zguba 2020-04-22T19:41:45Z

Really fun gameplay and the controls are pretty nice. I really like how the game tells you where the gas cans are and when they respawn. Although it's a bit weird that you need to bring gas cans to the granny. :thinking:. Im not sure if you did any of the animation, art, or sfx since you opted out of those but if you did any of those WOW they're pretty good. Thanks for the game! :)

Affordable Pet Care by domrein 2020-05-04T18:00:33Z

Neat and fun game. I found that sometimes multiple people would come in at the same time making it not possible to read what they're asking for. Multiple pets having the same appearance made it hard for me to tell which pet is which but that just might be a me problem.

Lantern Lagoon by Quade Zaban 2020-04-23T05:56:27Z

Really love the game. I don't really see how this fits the theme but I had a really fun time playing the game. One small thing that bothered me though was whenever the camera faced a flame it would flare up and made it really hard to see anything else.

Morel-ess Defense by poisondart00 2020-05-04T18:18:42Z

Really like the visuals of the game, having 2D sprites in a 3D environment is pretty cool. I wish that you could aim the mushrooms with the mouse or give more directions to you could throw it in as the amount of directions I could throw them in felt pretty limiting. I often found my self having to get right up to the enemies in order to hit them. You have diagonal movement so I wish there was at least diagonal throwing.

Super Realistic Parachute Simulator by hamrathdoesldjam 2020-04-22T21:03:40Z

Really like the retro effects. Fun game play

A Bard's Party (Keep it alive) by Takayamushi 2020-05-03T18:08:22Z

Really interesting way to use the mouse for a rhythm game, although I do think that having key inputs would have been just better I really like the directional notes for the mouse.

Scrap Cargo by shadow30 2020-04-22T20:45:46Z

I wish there was a maybe a quick tutorial to tell you what you need to do for each activity. With everything happening on screen I was a bit confused and died a lot at first. After I got each activity down I found the game very enjoyable and not too difficult at all. Definetly not easy but I had a lot of fun playing the game

Chill Thrive by JDK2209 2020-05-03T18:34:04Z

Really liked the game. I love how all the systems affect each other. I wish some of the systems were easier to use, I can see that the game is made as a mobile game but it made playing on PC really difficult. Making the wind blow was really hard and I had trouble getting the rain to start falling. But small nitpicks aside it was a pretty fun game with nice music

Magic Valley by SpicyPaper 2020-04-22T20:32:43Z

Pretty cool idea. I had some framerate issues when playing the game (maybe its because I was playing on browser) and it became worse and worse as I move farther away from the chest. I had trouble placing down defences. (I had to press R first before I could place down anything) I wish the game would tell you how much longer you had until the next wave came, or a button you could press to start the next wave early. I also had trouble aiming my fireballs at enemies since I couldn't turn to face them exactly, maybe having more directions the player could face would be nice. I also wish you could still place defences down when the save starts, it was pretty annoying when the save would start and I would have no defences since I was still collecting materials. Small nitpicks aside it's pretty impressive how much you guys got done in 3 days.

Beast of Mista by Silthreent 2020-04-22T07:17:17Z

Pretty cool game. I really like how the villagers display what they're currently doing, and how close they are to finishing their task. But the game can be pretty buggy at times, the game would sometimes crash(Couldn't figure out what exactly causes it but it happened enough times on my machine that it made it difficult to play) when the beast eats someone and moving my cursor to the edge of the screen only worked for the top and right side of the screen.

Jeffrey the Turtle by fullmetal_automaton 2020-04-22T19:59:14Z

Fun game! Definetly rough in a few spots but I definitely had fun playing. In the first level you introduce lava I had the baby turtle dying over and over before I could even get to it which was pretty frustrating. Although I do like how you slowly introduce new mechanics into the mix. In the bonus level I would be sliding off of ledges which I don't know if it was intended but was pretty frustrating when I would die even though I thought I made the jump.

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

World in Peril by Havok06 2021-04-29T19:35:30Z

Really impressive for a compo. I really like how the cost of cards change depending on what you previouly purchased. I think someone mentioned it already but having multiple event cards can really screw you over, so maybe more evenly distributing the events card to maybe like one every 5 cards would make it more fun. Haven't won a game yet but I'll keep trying after this.

Depth Charger by SneakyLemon 2021-04-29T18:39:34Z

Really like the shooter aspect of the game, the sound effects for shooting felt really good and exploding a mine from a distance was great. The mine, and especially the ship look really good. Wish the mines didnt have so much health as it was pretty much not worth even shooting at them and it was better to just focus on avoid them all. Not sure if it was just me but the torpedo didnt work, it kinda just sat where I shot it. Soemtimes the explosions would cover the screen making it hard to see where my ship is. The game is a bit on the short side, would have been cool if it was endless even with just the mines (maybe you could have just repeated the same terrain but have it start at a lower elevation?). The game was listed as a jam so I'm giving a rating and comment I would to a jam game but someone mentioned this is a compo in the comments so I'm sorry if that was the case.

Asteroid Ascend by WormholeGames 2021-04-29T18:20:23Z

Cool game. One issue I had is that I couldn't break the stones/ores directly infront of me, but could break stones/ores directly below me. I also noticed that the time to break stones and ores would be different for each one. Some would break easily while others would take longer. This was true for both laser guns. I really like how gravity would change depending on how deep you were. It would have been cool if HP was the ships as I could just hide and not care about the ufo's until I came out to deposit the ores and then immedietly hide underground again.

Inframundo by FabianGtz 2021-05-06T18:48:13Z

Cool game. I really like the player sprite and how it moved (I love how its tile based since you don't see that often anymore). As someone else has mentioned before I really like the direction this game goes in. I don't know the original story but I think its pretty interesting to base your game on folklore. Maybe a little bit mroe explanation on the mechanics of the game would have been nice. I assume I got to the end but I'm still not sure what blocks my path and what doesn't. Also one small nitpick is that the player sprite is always on top of the screen and sits above the other sprites which looked a little weird. Perhaps look into layering your sprites if you continue working on this.

Shovel by Inno 2021-04-29T19:54:56Z

Really neat concept, and I really like the digging motion you make with the mouse since its not something you see often anymore. I really like how the dirt pile at the top get bigger as you go deeper, I love small details like that. One small nitpick is that the depth the game tells you seems really off (It appears im only a few meters deeps but the game tells me im 30m deep). Other than that it does what it says it does and is a really fun game.

Farthest Place by Narwaffles 2021-04-29T18:45:20Z

@pandaderzwote yeah that's an issue with the spawning algorithm, there are more things that spawn after that but it cools down for a bit in that section. Thanks for the feedback I didn't think people would think thats the end of the game

Gemfall by TAIGHA 2021-04-29T18:04:09Z

Really like the game. I really like how the music and background changes over time. I didnt know that the bug or trap looking thing would increase your speed and give you temporary invincibility as I thought it would kill you, and I have avoided it for most of the time until I got hit by it once and found out. Other than that small nitpick really cool and fun game
