LD42 — Running out of space

Running out of Graves by wasd 2018-08-15T11:28:44Z

That was pretty fun and quite challenging - I'm looking forward to the post mortem :)

Sofamino by shide 2018-08-15T11:37:18Z

This is probably the most polished game I've come across so far. It was really fun (though difficult on a touchpad).

Tiny Kingdom Builder by RenD 2018-08-17T09:37:49Z

Having recently been given Kingdomino I found this game really easy to pick up and get going. Well done - 5/5 for everything :)

It also got my wife's attention. She just came over saying "Whatever that is, it sounds cute and I want to play."

Too Rich Ed by Fedor 2018-08-15T11:20:51Z

That was pretty fun. At first I thought my track pad wasn't working with it but I got the hang of it :)

Crystalmancer by Crowno 2018-08-17T09:42:36Z

This game brought back so many memories - I loved the GB look and feel. I found the game super fun (though a little frustrating when I died instantly on enemy spawn in a couple of rooms).

Stash by Chris Coe 2018-08-17T09:46:33Z

Haha I love how such a simple game can be so fun. Reminds me of the constant loot dilemma in Diablo :P

Bee-rilliant Farm by Noxbuds 2018-08-17T10:25:56Z

I just spent an embarrassing amount of time playing this. It's so addictive. I'm saving this one for playing some more later :)

The Flopp by Sanguis 2018-08-15T11:17:23Z

That was awesome fun - I like the concept and it was well executed. I especially liked when the graphics glitched out a bit after an error floppy.

Game Jam Jam Game by nathanhoad 2018-08-15T22:53:34Z

@afendar The Lady Marmalade was a puzzle a friend at camp came up with. I'm thinking I'll swap it out for something easier in the final game.

Game Jam Jam Game by nathanhoad 2018-08-15T22:54:46Z

@smiley Haha no, I was under no illusions I'd be able to make anything from scratch in that 48 hours (this is my first LD). This game is built on top of an engine I've been developing for a couple of months anyhow.

Game Jam Jam Game by nathanhoad 2018-08-17T10:29:23Z

@rend Thanks for the feedback :) I think I'll draw up a puzzle dependency chart and turn this thing into more of a varied adventure game (where making each of the 'master' jams is a multi-step puzzle) somehow.

Game Jam Jam Game by nathanhoad 2018-08-17T11:31:22Z

@my-sweet-whomp Thanks for the feedback :) I'm keen to write some music for the final version (and add some sound effects). Haha yeah the Lady Marmalade is a tough one. It think I'll end up swapping it out for a different puzzle.

Game Jam Jam Game by nathanhoad 2018-08-20T10:34:30Z

@maxthecat Thanks for feedback. I'm excited to turn this into a full puzzle game :)

Game Jam Jam Game by nathanhoad 2018-08-20T10:43:38Z

@chris-coe Haha I'm pretty keen to add *many* more jam puns (Space Jam... maybe?) to the final game.

Bob's Budget Bomb Disposal by Dark Roast Studios 2018-08-15T11:42:06Z

That was really challenging but really fun. I would have liked the snapping to be a little more forgiving but it was pretty great anyhow :)

Space Dog Escape by yayapipi 2018-08-17T09:50:56Z

I thought the game was pretty cool. The controls are super easy and it was fun. A couple of times the monster kind of fell out of the level which made things a bit easier :P

Hill Fill Phil by Colin Gourlay 2018-08-14T07:14:43Z

This would have to be the most original interpretation of the theme that I've seen 😛

Zlinx by frontlinesaint 2018-08-17T10:04:32Z

This is probably my favourite game so far - it's so addictive! Everything is so good :)

*~Bookmarked for much future playing~*

Kiki's Clocktower Run by lillypiri 2018-08-15T03:04:08Z

This would have to be one of the cutest games I've come across so far - I love the little details on Kiki :)

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

Rogues Like Beer by NickZangus 2018-12-10T11:49:01Z

Very impressive - everything was fantastic :)

NOPE by icxon 2018-12-08T22:58:11Z

Nooooope.

The first bit cleverly lured me into thinking it might not be so hard but noooope. I love the sound effect of the creature and the feeling of dread that came from hearing it, knowing you were soon to be [NOPE].

YOU ARE FIRED! by urbanhelsing 2018-12-10T11:12:39Z

Haha that was so good. My only comment (and it was mentioned above too) is that I was frequently accidentally firing the person next to the one I wanted to fire for some reason.

God of Fingers (HTML5) by Dining Philosopher 2018-12-09T04:18:20Z

Haha that was fun - I played it for longer than I'd like to admit :-P

Super Sellout by Moski 2018-12-10T11:57:16Z

That was really fun and I like how the interpretation of the theme feels quite different to most of the other games.

Santa Saves Christmas by paulhocker 2018-12-09T04:13:35Z

Haha that was pretty fun - I love the music :)

The Making Of by Silvae 2018-12-09T04:27:23Z

Such a good idea. That was fun :)

The Mist by tpamir 2018-12-10T12:00:53Z

I really like the art style. I had to play a few times to understand what I was meant to be doing but after that it was pretty fun :)

Last Key of Robotica 3 by elitegoliath 2018-12-08T23:03:43Z

Wow that was intense. Good Job :)

Unnecessary Evil by Eva Abollivier 2018-12-10T11:36:53Z

This one is so good. I only got to the third screen before I had to restart and rethink things. The level and puzzle design is great :)

The I in Team by nathanhoad 2018-12-11T22:55:29Z

@justcamh Thanks for the feedback :) The original plan was for a party of four, each with a different ability but I ended up only having about 12 hours available for LD so a lot had to be cut.

Jamming Dilemma by Rapyo 2018-12-09T03:04:53Z

Pretty simple concept but fun none-the-less :)
