LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Jeff From Accounting by Almax 2018-04-25T13:24:27Z

That was an incredible amount of fun! It took a little bit of getting used to with the reload mechanic, but it was a blast. The only issue I ran into was that sometimes the collisions were a bit off and you can't hit an enemy most of the time if it gets too close. But this game was well executed and incredibly fun to play. I'd pay to see a full version released.

This was an incredible amount of fun. I actually saw the cover image on your blog post while I was developing my game. I knew I had to play the game as soon as I could. I was not disappointed.

That was incredibly fun. The thought of a survival-based chess game was nothing short but genius. It was especially satisfying when I first leveled up to Rook and bashed through a string of enemies.

The only real criticism I can offer is that the graphics could use a bit of work, but nothing too glaringly bad. Great work!

Pretty good, but I feel that an issue that has not been addressed is the lack of audio (unless my speakers aren't working right). If that is the case, I suggest checking out sfxr. I used that for my game and it only takes a couple of minutes to create a wide range of sound effects that would be perfect for this game, considering that it's a retro-styled pixel game.

Not bad at all! The genre selection was great and the art was decent. The only issue is that the RNG was a bit harsh at times. Otherwise, great work!

A Fistful of Shrooms by gdort 2018-04-25T14:57:25Z

Incredible work! The only issue I had was the mushroom's collider, but it wasn't anything game-breaking.

This was incredibly fun. Couldn't attract a mate in the end, but I'll definitely give it another go after I rate a few more. Well done!

Thank you all for the replies! @Unentokku @AmigoPadilha I could have added some more card piles around the map to resolve that, but I was a bit pressed for time. I will be keeping up with this project however, so check back soon.

@Dixonary Thank you so much! I could have spent a bit more time on the lighting, to be honest. I believe there is a sharp shadow setting as well, so I'll play with it a bit and see what results come up.

@mrPenguin Good suggestion. I'll get on it.

@mat1er Yeah,I really feel like more could have been done,such as paralyzing effects, HP display, and impact effects. I do want to keep up with this project and see if I can create a full-length game, so keep an eye out. Thank you for the review!

Holding Aces: The Card Game Shoot-em-Up! by NerdyTea 2018-04-24T20:37:55Z

@theArtifacts Thanks for the review! You've got me there; the theme integration could have been done better. I'll make sure to do better in August.

I'll definitely check your game out as soon as I can. Expect a review soon! <3

@kurt-roembke It's funny, I actually was trying to make a chiptuned version in Bosca Ceoil, but I didn't have much practice with it so I had to settle for the original. Thanks for the review!

Modern Fairway 4: Spec-Ops in the Rough by Lost Dutchman Software 2018-04-25T14:17:28Z

The game was pretty fun. The only thing I can really argue about is the sensitivity.

SURVABY by 0nironauta 2018-04-25T15:06:48Z

Geez, now I know how Clementine felt after The Walking Dead: Season 2.

Traumatic memories aside, this game was really good, though sometimes the baby needs the teddy when they already have it, so I have to take it and give it back to them.

Otherwise, a good concept well executed. Well done!

Maroon by juju 2018-04-25T13:06:58Z

I like the art and concept, but I did softlock the game on the second level when I got caught on a bee and kept dying.

Bump Quest 6 by Siactro 2018-04-24T17:26:14Z

The voxel feel is nice, but the controls were hard and the objective was a bit unclear.
