LD47 — Stuck in a loop

WHILE (TRUE) by smiley 2020-10-06T20:49:31Z

Great music! I like the art, the mechanics and their presentation too. The level design is good, but the puzzle features could be a little bit more difficult. Good entry!

Stuck in the Routine by UberPuPy 2020-10-06T17:17:09Z

Nice point and click game! The art looks good and the fact that you put dialogues makes it interesting. I would like to see some "drag and drops" instead of just point and clicking. In general, it's a cool way to fit into the theme since you really learn the process, because of it's repeatability. Unfortunately, this feature makes the game kinda boring after a while, but it's okay. Overall, good try!

Chamber by Pedro Medeiros 2020-10-09T01:19:26Z

I really love the design and the animations! The art style is polished and it gave me some "Don't starve together" vibes. The concept is great too! Overall, the game looks and sounds very good! Nice entry!

The Jolly Journey of J.J.'s Jelly-Jamventure by TJ101010 2020-10-07T15:43:13Z

The fact that you made this on a circle is kinda impressive! The art and the gameplay is simple but good. I'm not sure if the enemies are suppose to increase the difficulty. I felt like they helped me to collect the dots more easily. Overall, good entry!

Impunity by Haustgeirr 2020-10-06T20:59:19Z

The art is simple but pretty. The gameplay is too easy, you could add something more than just point and click. Nice try though!

Layers of time by Kaldrin 2020-10-06T17:01:32Z

Really cool game concept with clever puzzle ideas and mechanics! I love the minimalistic art and the effort you put on the 3D design. I found the keyboard controls a little bit strange since you move with Q-D, but you can adopt it quite easily. The game's difficulty escalates kinda quickly but this is what makes it challenging! It, also, fits completely to the theme since i stuck in the loop of the fourth level xD (just kidding). Overall, it's a great game! Very good job!

Leave the yard by dyguests 2020-10-06T16:15:47Z

I really like the art and the music. I get the fact that the difficulty of the game depends on the player's clumsiness, but it's kinda annoying after a while. Overall, the game is cute and it has potential! Good try!

Fire Loop by Kevin Meissner 2020-10-07T15:35:27Z

The visuals are great! Considering the time that you had you did a great job on the animations too! The mechanics are quite simple but the gameplay is really fun! The only thing i didn't like that much is the voice overs of the enemies, since they sound weird and loud. Overall, it's a cool concept and a beautiful execution! Nice!

Crystal Curse by LouieJams 2020-10-06T21:05:05Z

Love the art and the animations! It, also, has an interesting way to use traps and enemies without combat! I'm not sure if the concept of the game fits in the theme though. Nice try overall!

Froot Loops Delivery Job by InefficientChunkOfCode 2020-10-06T15:59:33Z

Cool concept! I like the effort you put for the 3d objects, although the art is kinda rough. I would like to see a button that regulates the volume of the music. Overall, cute and colorful game! Nice try!

MultiSelf by Gabriel Barroso 2020-10-06T17:37:36Z

Great concept! I really love the animations of the character. You could work on the tiles and the background, but the generic b&w design doesn't bother me that much. I like the humoristic aura of the voice overs in the "controllable" world you made. Despite the fact that the mechanics are good, sometimes (when you add the maximum number of the clones) it gets frustrating to figure out how to clear all the actions that the clones made. A restart button would help a lot! Overall, it's very cool concept and i enjoyed the playing process of it. Great game!

LoopIn by Dani Tufeld 2020-10-07T15:54:25Z

Wonderful game! The art is adorable and the gameplay really fun! It gets harder and harder pretty smoothly and it makes you to wanna play it again! The only problem is that it bugged at one point, when i finished the 5th or the 6th level. Overall, excellent game for real :)

Cycloop by Erlioniel 2020-10-06T21:15:27Z

I like the art, mostly on the background! Nice!

Apocrypha by Ravarix 2020-10-06T21:09:37Z

Great graphics! I appreciate the effort you put on the details of the 3D environment! For some strange reason though, the perspective made me a little bit dizzy. Maybe it's on me. Great entry!

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

And deeper goes the keeper by Nicso 2021-05-19T01:38:54Z

WOW! I really dont have much to say. I feel like our games are some kind of lost siblings, your aesthetic is way better though! Really really love the lighting, you surely deserve to be first at graphics! You're great, keep it going!

Deep Mine by NateTheGreat 2021-04-27T12:06:23Z

The mechanics of mining are really great! I loved it!

We Have to Go Deeper! by Scott Steffes 2021-04-28T20:19:36Z

What a nice game! We have a similar idea in our game and its very interesting to see two different approaches. I really love your art style and the nature of the dialogues. The ancient Greek inspiration on some assets is a very cool touch too! Great submission, keep it up!

Reminiscence by Curtis Pelissier 2021-04-27T12:01:14Z

I really loved the cutscenes of the new tools you get, great aesthetic! I can see the inspiration of Gris, on the structures and the trees! The mood is kinda nostalgic and heavy, and the music is really good! You can work more on the character animations, but this is not that important. The storyline is interesting too! Great vibe, keep it up!

Bunny Bunny Dig Dig by ZakAmana 2021-04-28T13:52:09Z

Really great graphics, they re super cute!!! Music is well fitting too and the gameplay is solid! Great job!

Quick Scrap by Vimlark 2021-04-29T20:31:06Z

Nice!!!! challenging and addictive!

Dante's Refrigerator by josephdevelops 2021-04-29T13:00:09Z

i love the animations!

Swing Shroom by Quite Good 2021-04-28T13:54:40Z

At first the game couldn't start for some reason, but eventually it worked fine! I really love the aesthetics!! The art and the animations are amazing!

The swing mechanic is kinda weird, i thinnk it can improve a lot.

Music and sound effects fitting perfectly to the mood of the game.

I like the fact that you have many ways to get through the levels, especially the hidden places.

Really enjoyed it, nice game!

Pokefish : Gotta flash em' all ! by Legolula 2021-04-27T11:47:28Z

The art style is very unique and kinda strange, but i liked it a lot! The music is relaxing too. I like the vibe of it, great job!

Asterisk by Crychair 2021-04-28T13:49:23Z

I love the aesthetics and the voice overs! The death is kinda buggy in the html version but it still playable Good job!

Rabbit Rappel by MatterLinx 2021-04-29T12:19:17Z

First of all, i really love the animations! Great job on that! The main idea is very interesting and clever. The way "rocket" jumping and swinging works is really addictive.The music is fitting well and it kinda stuck into my head xD I would like to hear some sound effects though. Overall, great submission, keep it up!

Gecko Dive by bqq 2021-04-28T18:13:42Z

Wow! Really beautiful graphics, i love the vibe of it! The music and the sound effects are very relaxing and they are fitting perfectly! The puzzles are clever and challenging but not unsolvable. Im not sure if it fits the theme though, but it's alright! Overall, a great game, well done!!

LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Akubi by Almax 2022-04-06T13:05:09Z

Excellect little action-platformer game! The animations are all lovely and the animated grass makes the world way more alive! The bamboo spikes is a great idea, it really compliments and fits the whole visual world of your game. Generally, the total aesthetics are very very beautiful. My congrats to the art guy!

The bad thing is that sometimes I felt like the attack controls are not responsive enough. I think that the attack system needs to be a little bit more instant, it could be an animation tweak, removing some frames of the slash effect. Also, I found a minor bug that kills you even when you just took the "health bottle" and the health bar went full. One more thing, something is going a bit wrong with the parallax effect on the backgrounds but I'm not sure what :P

Overall, I would love to play more of this game. I like how it forces you to fight in order to keep yourself alive. Great work to all of you, keep it going!

Trolley's Delayma by albertnez 2022-04-05T12:38:56Z

Nice puzzle game! The main concept/mechanic is really interesting and it has fair brain teasers, great work!

The Manbutton Project by AndideBob 2022-04-05T12:46:18Z

Really interesting concept and very fun! For some reason some buttons weren't accepted, as if it's some responsive problem.. I don't know if it just me. Great idea and game overall, simple but on point! Nice!

PRESSURE by Feilkin 2022-04-05T11:37:16Z

Cool concept and nice graphics! I like the Tails from Sonic vibe to the character. Nice work!

Different Strokes by Scott Steffes 2022-04-07T22:09:41Z

Wow! You made me forget everything and just keep painting while the beautiful relaxing music kept urging me! Great and clever idea, really enjoyable game! Well done!! different strokes doodles.jpg

Seed Of Time by theStoff 2022-04-06T13:28:09Z

Really beautiful. Really hard sometimes too :P Great submission, i would love to see more of this game! Great work!

Desert Defense by Rubyes 2022-04-05T12:10:52Z

Really cool retro vibes here! I was having fun killing these turtlemen :P It gets super hard pretty quick though. I love the variety of the upgrades, provides great depth to the game. I was having a little trouble trying to figure out how to install the upgrades but i found it after a while, maybe a better indication will be helpful.

Great work overall! Keep it going!

Reversary by AploveStudio 2022-04-06T12:42:00Z

Good things: Very cool and interesting reverse concept. The animations of the boss (us) is on point and the total aesthetics are very very eye-pleasing! Also, I like how it gets progressively harder. Sound effects are really nice, music was just okay. It's impressive that you managed to pull off a decent boss fight on a 72 hours timeline. Congrats!!

Bad things: The responsiveness is not that good unfortunately. I understand that one action has to end in order to begin a new one, but I think it takes way too long to give you access on your next move. Sometimes controls don't response (especially on left-right movements) even when there was no action before. Small tweak will make the game way more enjoyable! Too many dialogues :P Providing dialogues at the start of every combat makes sense and it's funny at first. After a while though, I ended up skipping them because I wanted to play, so it's a pity that your writing work has to be skipped because of the game's repeatability. The skip option is always good though, so it's a minor issue.

Overall, great submission, fun game and has a lot of potential! I enjoyed playing it, keep it on!

FreeFall by aaron1_cabj 2022-04-05T12:17:51Z

Really loved the design, especially the character and the umbrella stages! Nice details on the items you hit too! Music is cute! Great work guys keept it up!!

Rage Against The Cocoon by JoeDev 2022-04-05T12:30:31Z

Beautiful game with some really nice looking graphics! The NPC conversations was funny and the music was pretty chill. Also, the level kinda reminded me the tree level of Elden Ring, only much cuter :P cool stuff!

The only bad thing: Sometimes it gets quite frustrating to control because of the high sensitive camera movement, it could be tweaked.

Great work overall!

Fated Fantasy by algodoogle 2022-04-05T12:52:03Z

Cool game! Simple retro graphics and nice music. I would love to see some animations on the characters and enemies though. Also, the bullet sfx could get little annoying after a while. I like that one bullet can hit multiple enemies, really helpful!

Nice work overall

Erefos by exopunk 2022-04-05T12:12:35Z

@eolin Thank you so much for the feedback! Τowards the end of the process we all wondered the same thing xD

Erefos by exopunk 2022-04-05T17:44:40Z

@itzemii Thank you for the feedback, really glad you liked our game! At these platforms that you stuck, you suppose to hit the spikes (down attack) in order to bounce even higher to the next platform. Anyways, thanks so much for playing :smile:

Feed'em all by Gastar 2022-04-05T11:52:25Z

Classic cool Tower Defence little game, I like the food concept of it!I would love to hear some music and sfx like zombies eating all the food you throw at them. Nice work!

Way before death by Arfilish 2022-04-05T14:08:43Z

Cool little game! As I said on the stream, you could change the color of the pads when they are connected. Other than that, excellent submission, keep it going !!

Project Memory: Delay Extinction by RaXaH 2022-04-05T11:44:47Z

Really beautiful and nostalgic aesthetics! Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to exactly play the game, it seems like it's more observational.. I really love the music though! Please let me know if I missed something so I can retry it :)

Project Memory: Delay Extinction by RaXaH 2022-04-05T12:34:50Z

@hekateras Oh alright! Now it makes sense, chasing down the Poachers. I'll go play it again
