LD35 — Shapeshift

Animal Position by GanonsSpirit 2016-04-18T18:11:00

Cant seem to run the exe. Its on my task manager but nothing happens.

Shapeshift by Mathias Olsson 2016-04-19T06:18:00

Found it very amusing and fun! Thanks

Colour Out Of Space by snowyowl 2016-04-18T18:56:00

nice background art

THIS IS AMAZING by JokerDen 2016-04-18T20:22:00

puzzle is good.

Gallery by ToadieTechnika 2016-04-19T05:54:00

Respect! Tight animation and awesome art direction. Great fun too!

Shape in the wall by 2kah 2016-04-19T13:12:00

Interesting application of concept. I liked the fact that you had to shift the environment, instead of your avatar.

Infinity Access by Hyoga-3D 2016-04-18T19:35:00

not sure what was the goal here but limited / unlimited web seems like an interesting concept!

Cir Squiangle by TnT 2016-04-19T08:12:00

Great effort but too buggy.

Find the Bird by Gaspard_ 2016-04-19T11:08:00

Windows please? Looks intriguing

Xenosphere by oxysoft 2016-04-19T11:21:00

Interesting art style and very upbeat music. Love it!

Corners by Drkr 2016-04-19T05:44:00

Great work! Needs abit more polishing but overall a fun game to play

Lumiania by Yword 2016-04-19T14:34:00

I finished it! Absolutely amazing game with tons of polish. I love the pixel graphics and the effects when you slash an enemy. There's really nothing I can constructively criticize about the game, except maybe add a story to hook the player into knowing more about the main character.

Possess by DeltaF1 2016-04-19T11:18:00

Good effort. It's buggy but I still enjoyed most parts of it.

Paperchase by DragonXVI 2016-04-18T17:15:00

Great game! Really well done.
Had some problems with the aeroplane mode though, kinda hard to control.

Fluffie Breeder by Suvidriel 2016-04-19T06:19:00

Very challenging puzzles. Great fun though :)

The Creation by RyanMan56 2016-04-19T11:46:00

Seriously Awesome!!

aucguy by aucguy 2016-04-19T05:53:00

A fine piece of work! Somehow it made me think of cookie cutters while making cookies. Thanks for the fun experience!

RPS (no graphics) by Javabot 2016-04-19T11:49:00

Very rewarding to complete this game. Great job!

Cloudy by Karl Schmidt 2016-04-18T20:17:00

Splitting is a good idea. Maybe can make the pieces all come together at a certain checkpoint. if not it just takes too long for all the pieces to travel.

Spaceshape by Saymon 2016-04-18T19:41:00

Its an interesting concept, can be expanded such that the shape of the ship will affect the combat and characteristics of the ship. Ship building a little bit slow, and enemies are quite hard to find.

The Esoteric Order of Shapeshifters by Somnium 2016-04-19T08:13:00

Loved how the game progressed. With more time I think this would be a great indie game:)

Geometry Shift by w1n5t0n 2016-04-19T05:46:00

Homage to asteroids :) great work!

Bluboy by Falak 2016-04-19T08:11:00

Great fun to play!

Wax by Squid 2016-04-19T08:16:00

Cyclops candle stick! I found this game very light hearted and fun:) thanks and great work!

Chrysalide by Pierre 2016-04-19T11:03:00

Great graphics and gameplay!

LizardPope by Raphael_ 2016-04-19T11:44:00

Cool and unique:)

De Skogen by Aidan Markham 2016-04-19T08:10:00

I enjoyed it alot! Visually stunning however it didn't shine conceptually...pleasure to play:)

RhythmicalCreation by lycoris102 2016-04-19T14:17:00

Nice music and graphics! I really liked it.

Would be nice if there was feedback when I missed a beat, didn't seem to matter whether I missed a beat or not besides the score.

Who Are You And What Are You Doing Here?? by Shatter Point Studios 2016-04-19T05:48:00

Think with more time and polish you potebtially created a really good indie game...Great work!

Ikarauraga by Ramayana 2016-04-19T09:16:00

Get it fixed. I would like to play it soon:)

Doodles by El_WaKa 2016-04-19T05:50:00

For the amount of time...I think u did a great job! Loved the art direction and overall tight controls.

Doodles by El_WaKa 2016-04-19T14:09:00

I played the v1.01. It's a fairly standard platformer, collecting various modes giving different abilities as the 'shift' mechanic. I think its a good first attempt!

I wished I could have spent time on it, I only got as far as after the cannons before moving on, it was feeling slightly tedious after a few minutes.

I think with some polish, sound, and story, there might be a compelling hook for the player to keep playing.

One thing I would change is assigning 'Up' to Jump. Between shifting, action, and jump, the controls were slightly hard to grasp for me.

Georena by sbeif 2016-04-18T19:08:00

interesting concept

Bounds by Nervous Composers 2016-04-18T19:31:00

Hi All, thanks for the great feedback. It is our first project on LD and we are glad that you guys liked it!
We'll do better in the next LD!

Perspective Shift by meganukebmp 2016-04-19T11:20:00

Very immersive experience. Great audio graphics was on point:) one of the better games I've played so far

DNA Madness by OveRMolo 2016-04-19T11:47:00

Omg!! I enjoyed it soooo much! Thanks!

Shapegrammer by APantaloni 2016-04-19T09:17:00

Looks amazing and a load of fun! Nice work!

LD36 — Ancient Technology

Cronus' Tomb by Mr_Field 2016-08-30T13:06:00

Loved the sprite art! But gameplay was a little hard, and I got stuck outside the arena after the first boss (Empusa?)

Forever Someday by TheOneThatNeverWas 2016-08-30T13:37:00

Wow, that was one of the most unique amazing experiences I've ever had, even outside of this game jam of any game I've played. I'd really like to see more works from you!

Light Machine by leialus 2016-08-30T13:52:00

Is it possible to compile as a single executable, without needing an installer?

The House Abandon by jon_nocode 2016-08-31T17:34:00

I loved the atmosphere, but couldn't get past the beginning though..

(spoilers) I got to the yard and 'looked', and saw the generator, but couldn't figure out the verb to use it. 'start / use / go to generator' didn't work...

I've played a number of old text adventure games, so I was expecting to be able to check my 'i'nventory, e'x'amine items, 'l'ook, nsew movement, take, drop, etc.. Maybe it could be added to a next version :)

"Ancient" and Ancient by Jadernak 2016-08-31T16:34:00

Nice game! Won twice, would love to see more games using this engine.

Alien Artifact by Simple Potential 2016-08-30T12:43:00

An interesting concept, I won twice.
The mechanics are a little difficult to grasp in the beginning though, and one game I got stuck, and clicking restart didn't do anything, but other than that I like it =)

Deadly Decay by Wicked7000 2016-08-30T13:02:00

I liked the atmosphere! The choice colours and music helped.

Gameplay wise, it started to get slightly monotonous after two levels. Would love to see more content!

Pharablock by mvasko2 2016-09-01T13:11:00

I loved how close your game matched the theme! Gameplay mechanics was creative, but kinda hard. I got <30% most of the time. I also had a javascript exception once, running on Firefox. But otherwise, good job!

Escape From Foxtrott by thenanox 2016-08-31T14:29:00

I got to the 3rd stage, then an exception occurred and the game hanged =(

Ancient Gladiators by NikSorvari 2016-08-30T12:52:00

Is it possible to start a game single player? Can't seem to get a game running if I'm alone

Ahab's Mystical Wagon Adventures by Franklin's Ghost 2016-08-28T17:29:00

Amazing animation!

Escape from Alcatraz by Skully 2016-08-30T13:20:00

I loved the art and ragdoll animations

AncientVenture by Findor 2016-08-31T15:51:00

Nice art and environment with Lost Vikings style gameplay! Unfortunately didn't get very far, but would love to see a follow up effort!

Faro by Alkrimil 2016-08-30T14:10:00

Really fresh idea! I've never seen anything like it.
Completed the game once, would be amazing if there were more bosses.

Reinventing the Wheel by gonutz 2016-08-31T14:14:00

Finished the game. Loved the animations, music, art! Would have preferred tighter collisions and mechanics though :)

SkeleMeat! by FisherG 2016-08-30T14:12:00

I got >20 by hugging the corner ;)

Kukulkan's Phantom by CMangas 2016-09-01T13:25:00

One of the few games I played to completion. I really liked the puzzles! Not sure how to get the 'J' though, I just kept trying till I got it. Also had minor clicking issues on the puzzle where you have to rearrange the pieces. Some of the puzzle pieces got 'stuck' in its slot, and I had to move my mouse around till I found the clicking handle.

Search Treasure By Amine Tcherak by Amine Tcherak 2016-09-01T12:48:00

Nice, though the controls are a little hard to get used to.

Anechoic Chamber by TheLaw 2016-08-31T16:01:00

My ending was a little dark :<

No Pyramid's Sky by DiegoCTorguet 2016-09-01T12:56:00

I loved the graphics, music and atmosphere!

SOITES (Unfinished) by mathiasj 2016-08-31T16:40:00

The beginning looks promising! Unfortunately couldn't get past the starting corridor, is there more to see...?

Fiery Sword by Kazik_210 2016-08-31T16:48:00

Fun and cute little game =)

Fallen into time by MaximumIllusion 2016-08-31T15:11:00

I liked the environment and models in the starting area. Unfortunately, I couldn't get past the alien shaft in the beginning =( I tried jumping on the pipes, but couldn't seem to jump high enough.

Pyramid by metalhaze 2016-08-31T15:25:00

I loved the game! Mechanics and graphics were tight. Unfortunately I couldn't finish, only got to the 4th or 5th stage twice. Checkpoint system would be nice, I missed a few jumps and ending up next to spikes, and had to restart from level one. That was a little too punishing IMO.

Pyramid by metalhaze 2016-08-31T15:36:00

Ok I went back and completed it with the ending screenshot, great game!

Why Am I In The Past? Who Cares! Shoot The Romans by Whitepot Studios 2016-08-31T16:11:00

I died in wave 3 =( Hilarious concept though! Has a Serious Sam vibe

Shield Maiden - a text adventure by gureito 2016-08-31T14:40:00

I liked the writing, although I got stuck in the cave, couldn't find a torch. Would have preferred all interactable verbs/nouns to be highlighted.

Sorter of Antiques by alfadur 2016-08-30T14:14:00

Interesting concept, I think the idea has a lot of potential

The Coterie by oskardevelopment 2016-08-31T17:01:00

I loved the writing! But the gameplay was a little too confusing for me. I tried, but it was pretty hard to get into.

Tribal Termination by Hero7785 2016-08-31T14:21:00

Nice and simple concept which works! I only got past the first day though, I found it a little too difficult.

EGYPTRIS by gene-z 2016-08-30T13:10:00

Nice concept!
Although I'm not sure what the brown block represents? (on top, next to the railway track)

JUKE by TagliatL 2016-08-30T13:48:00

Holy crap I loved this game, the puzzles, perspective, rotations and cool flower prints. I actually completed all the levels. One thing I would try and fix is the finicky movement sometimes, when trying to trigger platforms.

Made of Steam by holgk 2016-08-30T14:35:00

I love the aesthetic! It also feels very polished, and was overall a very enjoyable game.

cognizance by managore 2016-08-31T13:03:00

Great game! I found all 5 friends and finished the game (which says alot, since I don't spend more than 10 minutes per entry on average).

Puzzles were well designed, core mechanics fit the theme very well. Few comments:
- Last puzzle was frustratingly hard
- Was stuck for awhile at one jump where I had to jump vertically past a horizontal block which would crush you. It's the one where the gearteeth are missing in the middle section. I had to redo the jump many times.
- Not a fan of puzzle games which open up into a huge open area where there are multiple paths to explore, but that's just my preference. It suggests that I have to backtrack alot to explore the other paths if I miss something.

GRASS by MintArcade 2016-08-30T13:30:00

I'm sorry, I'm not sure how to play this game..?

Not sure what I should be doing, or how to interact with objects. Some instructions / readme / tutorial would be nice. Thanks!

MistIslands by tmpxyz 2016-08-31T14:08:00

Nice game! I loved the mechanics and graphics. I played for three generations. Sometimes the RNG can be pretty unforgiving though.

Keep It Up! by nothke 2016-08-30T13:51:00

Best part of the game is getting the boat to sink, and watching it sink ;)

The Sleeper by dollarone 2016-08-30T14:26:00

Short and sweet! I like how the Captain goes exploring an unknown cave in just a singlet and camo pants. Wondering if there's an alternative ending...

Roma Evolution [Zen Experience Type Game] by Zeriver 2016-08-30T14:04:00

Nice concept, although I'd love an option to speed up the game

Aliens vs Ancient Indians by paruthidotexe 2016-08-30T12:50:00

Good job! I liked the art and spaceship names.

The Eating Machine by ValiaP 2016-08-28T17:33:00

Loved the aesthetic. Even harder than QWOP haha

SDP - Save Da Princess by colozz 2016-08-31T14:17:00

Nice game! Had a little difficulty in the beginning though, trying to kill the knights with a pitchfork.

Alien B.C. by kapezit 2016-08-30T12:47:00

I love the graphics, nice first try.
Would love to see more content, has the potential to go into mid game and end game.

NEONAUT by pixelpotions 2016-08-30T13:54:00

Hm I can't seem to get past the title screen. Is that where it's supposed to be broken?

NEONAUT by pixelpotions 2016-08-30T13:55:00

I like the pixel art and retro music on the title screen though =)

Oldfag adventure. by Xakkar 2016-09-01T12:52:00

I really like the graphics! But had quite a few issues with the gameplay and movement of the character. Got stuck a few times, and sometimes the game wasn't responsive :(

Search for the Bygone by sudojess 2016-08-31T15:17:00

Nice atmosphere, had some fun exploring the red desert. After the first structure I think I got knocked below the level though =(

Bobby Bow by AWOL 2016-09-01T13:04:00

Good try! I liked that you integrated with an online scoring system. It's probably the first entry that I've seen do this.

Heroneous by NoNameNoSocksAndGuests 2016-08-30T13:22:00

I can't access the download, is the link down?

Heroneous by NoNameNoSocksAndGuests 2016-09-01T13:08:00

Ok I've managed to download the game! But I open it and it seems to be gamepad only, which sadly I don't have :( Is there a keyboard / mouse version? Screenshot looks good btw

LD37 — One room

Hexachrome by hexachrome 2017-01-01T08:51:00

beautifully done. however, might want to increase the speed when the room gets big.

One Room to Freedom by mianagames 2016-12-26T01:49:00

the controls is very tough! overall quite funny and interesting idea.

One Room Cat by gtacker 2016-12-25T02:53:00

Graphics and music fits well with the mood. At first I was stuck in the first two rooms moving back and forth but then i figured out :D. I think there is a story behind it but i couldn't quite understand. there is potential to explore on the meaning of the room transitions.

room by Esenti 2016-12-26T01:45:00

Interesting concept. objective may be too subtle though, we all meet our end i guess.

The Coward by Adam Gould 2017-01-01T08:14:00

really nice funny game. very good work adding the humor and description on death. Though simple in idea, the execution was good and each challenge was nicely done in progressive difficulty.

Welcome Home by sportsquid 2016-12-25T02:10:00

Good effort! Interesting concept and nice work for dialogue, story and message at the end. If you would further develop the game, the board gameplay can be refined, the room's decorations can be trophies you won in tournaments etc to give you income. There is good potential.

The Room by Tharky 2016-12-25T01:59:00

I like the art and music, and the concept is interesting and fits the theme well. A good effort but I hope there is further development to the concept!

One Room Left by nycolas 2016-12-25T03:08:00

Good puzzles of the right length, very innovative. Great use of the theme. Even randomly choosing the sequence is fun just to 'try it out'.

Would like to have some death animation to fit the apocalyptic theme and emphasis on the 'sacrifice' part.

1 Light 2 Reveal by humming 2016-12-25T02:25:00

Good puzzle element, the mechanic was easy to grasp. Nice effort for the ending. The length of the game feels right for a LD entry. Would appreciate if there were music or sound effects to help on the atmosphere.

One Room One Life by Nullz 2016-12-26T01:58:00

wow such a dark ending. Dont give up making games!

Time Passes by leo_p_mahon 2016-12-26T02:20:00

the story is well written for a serious topic without trivialising it. good job!

TestROOM by Jeuiop 2016-12-26T02:59:00

challenging but fun, however the flashing background should be removed. time penalty can be relaxed more.

One room, one date, one pig by Wolar 2016-12-26T02:41:00

nice game, innovative mechanic.

The Cell by Iluvatar 2017-01-01T08:03:00

Cool game and nice graphics, the eerie music helps. However the puzzles are really hard, i had to use the walkthrough for everything.
Alt-tab made all the colours weird, might want to do window mode next time.

A ROOM by seththefirst 2017-01-01T08:23:00

good execution, however room is too big and took a long time to find the key. would be better if able to shoot all directions. i did not take any damage from the enemies however. Pressing E should drop current item to pick up the new weapon.

personally i felt that the music choice was a little strange.

This Room is Mine by Ristoretto 2016-12-26T01:37:00

I'm quite confused how to play. Reading your instructions, there might be too many things you are trying to implement in such a short time, would prefer if it is more focused.

NPPTF - Nuclear Power Plant Training Facility by Brickkid512 2016-12-25T02:39:00

nice concept and music, graphics are simple yet adequate. I had to open the readme to play the game, it would be preferred if it is integrated with the to do list.
there are some bugs where the jump button of the minigame doesnt work.

Shrunken by oddityoverseer 2017-01-01T07:47:00

nice attempt on the your first ludum dare! I was having fun exploring, the transition of the 2 views was pretty smart, especially the mouse part. Though i got stuck and couldnt complete. I use GM studio myself, and i love to make this kind of games.

some comments for your next LD:
- Reading your comments on your lofty goals, those are nice to have but for 72 hours its better to just focus on one mechanic.
- Spend some time to polish the game, this will help on receiving better feedback.
- add some music or sound effects as it greatly helps set the tone and mood.
- intro: simple and effective (we did something similar myself for this jam)
- good job!

LD38 — A Small World

A Bloody Small World by blinry 2017-05-01T14:43:38Z

Very unique take on the theme! It's also one of the cutest games I've ever seen in an LD.

I tried to complete it a few times, but I kept losing my minions and had to backtrack for them, and after finding them they kept walking into walls and didn't latch back onto me.

Troll Castle by berkano 2017-05-01T14:50:40Z

I beat the game, it's not too hard, pretty neat concept! I wonder what happens if all your trolls die from monsters in the mines. As previously mentioned, the help screen was abit much at first, but the gameplay is actually really simple to pickup. Good job!

SittingDucks by Iak 2017-05-01T12:35:28Z

I wasn't sure what the egg laying was for, sometimes I got really large chicks, but mostly tiny ones which evolved to normal sized chicks. Sitting longer didn't seem to spawn the large version, so I just tapped down and got tiny chicks which eventually grew larger. Jumping seems to fire a chick when it's above your head, although walking it into comets worked as well. I did manage to get to the end (Duckdillion) in one or two tries, even though I wasn't sure what I was doing. Overall I really loved the aesthetic and idea, but I think the gameplay could've been explained a little better. Good effort!

Ruined Topology by jebouin 2017-05-01T19:47:35Z

This game was so well designed... Definitely the standout for me so far! Even though the gameplay was simple, the concept was innovative, and almost all major aspects for a polished game were in there: gameplay, level design, puzzles, audio, pixel art, simple AI, etc.. Everything was pretty much perfect! (although I only beat the game with 8/15 coins)

Commander's Log by smbe19 2017-05-01T15:30:56Z

It's a really good game, and I wished that I could have played more of it, but I can't seem to get past a couple of days. The deliveries almost always stop after three shipments and I die rapidly. Maybe I built something I wasn't supposed to, but when I do nothing after the tutorial and keep ordering food and water, it lasts for days before the shipments stop.

Bumble Jumble by bram_ve 2017-05-01T16:06:47Z

I don't see this as a game, but as an experience, and a very enjoyable one. I thought it was very relaxing, and I can see myself simply exploring the world as a bee. I think I would've liked it more if the environment was an open meadow with flowers and natural sunlight.

Antagonistic : Hamburger Hill by ryte2byte 2017-05-01T18:46:25Z

Very unique game, it's rare to see action RTS hybrids during an LD. I did find it difficult to aim with the acid though, wasn't sure if I had to hit multiple times or I was missing. Other than that, great game!

Tabletop Arena by tyranosaw 2017-05-01T14:21:09Z

I loved the art and animations, and gameplay was fun. But what kept me playing was the music, it was *REALLY* good.

Water Bear World by Aviland 2017-05-01T19:24:50Z

Hm not sure if I missed something, I see a cube that slowly rotates clockwise, mashing WSAD spacebar doesn't seem to be doing anything...

Chick And Giant by DanteWang 2017-05-01T14:01:53Z

I thought the puzzles were well designed, and there's definitely room to expand with more levels / mechanics. Gameplay wise, I would've loved an undo or restart button, and some way to speed up the rotation. Otherwise, great job!

A Giant Hitch by GenericToast 2017-05-01T16:32:43Z

It's a really cute game! Even though there's almost no dialogue or story, the experience made me empathize with the poor giant as he stomped his way through the city on his way to work, breaking everything along the way.

A Small Hell by psychead 2017-05-01T19:01:58Z

I liked the detective aspect of figuring out how you died. The first few answers were pretty easy, and I managed to guess the last answer. The only issue I had was finding Satan, which I only figured out because of a previous poster (it's the dripping tongue near the start). Otherwise, great game!

Way Out by Mutfak Studios 2017-05-01T18:22:20Z

I tried a couple of times to beat the game, but it's a little too hard for me. But from what I saw of the beginning, it looks promising! Reminds me of Wanderers of Ys III on SNES.

Just You And Your Porch by lilroo 2017-05-01T19:09:38Z

I actually found the game slightly challenging rather than calming, trying to fill up my satisfaction bar while driving away the flies, keeping the repellent topped up, keeping the teapot full, etc.. I beat the game, it's not too hard, really neat concept!

LD39 — Running out of Power

Running on the Power of Love by nervous-composers 2017-08-01T17:15:51Z

Thanks for comments guys! We've made some bugfixes for the ending.

LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Dipsomaniac by Junber 2017-12-10T05:43:35Z

Great fit for theme, the effects and messed up controls really made it 'worse'.

A Platformer for Ants by Elendow 2017-12-10T16:42:06Z

nice entry! fits the theme. though you can jump mid air, not sureif that is intended.

All Day I Dream About Eyeballs by uvwar 2017-12-10T03:14:11Z

nice fit to there, interesting concept.

would prefer if the minimap doesnt show the carrots so you got to really try hard to find them!

Daily Debug Dash by Elemental Zeal Game Studios 2017-12-11T13:04:02Z

real interesting take! though i was fired

One Night to Score by nervous-composers 2017-12-11T13:42:50Z

Thanks for the comments! Apologies for the repeating dialogue system, we were out of time to finish all the features. The intention was, to have more 'difficult and challenging' dialogue options at the start, however when you and the lady have 'more drinks' things pick up a lot faster... previously 'failed attempts' would have new dialogue options. Obviously at the drunken state when everything is a blur you don't think before you speak (based on actual user experience). There is only 1 ending (supposed to have more ><) but multiple ways to approach.

Slightly annoying traffic by JOrbits 2017-12-10T06:08:50Z

great game and the best part is when it ends.. haha! good job

Money transporter by lexi 2017-12-11T12:56:00Z

nice game which fits the theme, only a little small.

Apparently I'm a detective by Hayzar 2017-12-10T05:55:01Z

nice art, ambience, point and click gmae. however some difficulty in selecting the clues.

Babies with Guns by killerkun 2017-12-10T16:56:46Z

cool concept, had difficulty getting some wall jumps

WeedControl by Marc Grabow 2017-12-10T03:10:11Z

nice farming game, reminds me of my farming days in stardew valley. Some issues with the menu system if i walk too near and trigger accidentally.

Keep Away by felixsoum 2017-12-11T13:09:02Z

haha quite cute.

Quantum's Rick by cortexdeveloper 2017-12-10T05:16:52Z

its a nice take on the particular R&M episode. however it will be a shame if the assets are taken elsewhere as mentioned by others

Kittie Reaper: A Depressed Cat Tale by jfraser314 2017-12-10T02:50:55Z

fun game, easy to understand and pick up, quite enjoyable. Would prefer more consistency in the sprite sizes.

The Ol' Flower Shop by Arvejeitor 2017-12-10T05:04:28Z

funny game, good concept and fits the theme.

Matchy's Kooky Cookies by Michael Silverman 2017-12-10T03:21:30Z

fun little game with cute graphics

Crystallone - False Stars by forrest 2017-12-10T03:00:20Z

Its a nice game, fits with the theme well. However i think there are too many variable for the player to think about, i.e currency/exchange rate. i think just tackling mass / energy will make the game interesting, perhaps the players have to collect some energy powerups to replenish. Good job for 1st compo!

LD42 — Running out of space

Writespace by blinry 2018-09-05T01:24:40Z

One issue I had was lack of save. I accidentally closed the game, and had to start over when I restarted :(

But fix this issue, add a few mechanics, story, some polish, and I'd absolutely buy it if it were a Steam game.

By the way, are there any easter eggs on the final screen? I keep trying to get the < in the <3 :p

Get Comfortable by mcccclean 2018-09-04T17:59:40Z

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do, but the game was so silly that I just laughed out loud and kept playing it over and over. Great job!

.S by torcado 2018-09-04T19:50:04Z

I finally beat the game! Wasn't easy, but wasn't too hard either, a nice level of challenge for an LD entry. The mechanic is very innovative. Are there any easter eggs on the final screen by the way? After those gruelling levels I didn't bother collecting every gem on the credits screen :p

The Not Very Golden Age of Piracy by nuclearfriend 2018-09-04T20:07:58Z

Sunk 6 ships! It's a great game. Wasn't sure if I saw right, but did I see a Total Recall easter egg?

Flesh Packer by nervous-composers 2018-09-04T20:12:03Z

@nam-nguyen Sure! Well, you actually don't need to combine anything with the car at any point. You also don't need the examine or use icon, they're only for flavour. You only need the combine icon to proceed. For starters, you could try the Hammer + Dress, or Dildo + Corpse.

Asteroidvania by blubberquark 2018-09-04T18:54:42Z

Objectively, there not a lot to like about this game. Lack of BGM/SFX, goofy graphics, seemingly poor gameplay... But I played... and I kept playing and playing, and I'm not sure why, but there's something about this game that kept me hooked. I'm giving this a great score, because I don't know how but this entry kept me playing the longest.

Djabo by thomas-olsson 2018-09-04T19:04:46Z

I knew I was in for a treat when I saw it was the same team that made Armless Kairo. I only wished there were more! It's very polished, if I were to nitpick, the collisions could use abit of tightening. Otherwise, great job!

EVOLUTION by Noa Calice 2018-09-04T16:44:23Z

Great art, and I loved the message! The music was creepy, and I felt it fit the mood perfectly.

Rainforest by SimoGecko 2018-09-04T17:05:23Z

I got 112 boxes solo, it's tough! I played WebGL, but only gripe is the controls could use abit of tighening, other than that, great game!

Loot Keeper by outstar 2018-09-04T18:21:32Z

I feel there's a fair amount of randomness that comes with the encounters, sometimes I get lucky and get good drops and easy encounters, other times I find I can barely beat the first few stages. The concept is great, although I didn't really like the WSAD controls. Graphics were amazing! One of the best I've seen this LD. Good job!

Dear Leader's Diet Plan by Historymaker118 2018-09-04T17:12:00Z

A very unique game, I got stuck at one of the later levels though. I feel the jumping could use some work, but the audio, visuals, and mood were awesome!

Blocks by Anubhav Kashyap 2018-09-04T18:03:30Z

0:28 seconds! It's simple, it works, and it's fun. Nothing more you could ask for from an LD entry! I only wish the jumping were a little tighter, seemed abit floaty at times, but otherwise good job!

Crystalmancer by Crowno 2018-09-04T17:27:42Z

Beat the game! The only issue I have is the collisions for the floaters, I lost a few promising runs cause my bullet didn't clip them. Other than that, I loved the retro aesthetic and the music!

LETTERBOX by Shell Pirate 2018-09-05T16:17:24Z

Loved the concept, definitely could use some tuning to give more allowance to the player instead of near frame perfect jumps.

I beat the level where the level scrolls upwards, and the game closed abruptly. Is it the end? Would love to see more levels! :)

Pre Alpha Build by PlusMinus 2018-09-04T16:52:24Z

Love the music! Took me a while, but I finally figured it out and survived till end game.

XORN: The Fallen God by ThibaultAr 2018-09-04T18:10:37Z

Like the graphics and gameplay! Would've liked a short tutorial to explain some of the mechanics at the beginning, but I understood most of it soon enough. Still not sure what Last Resort is. Would've loved a jump button too, to jump over monsters and pits. Otherwise, great entry!

The Unfortunate Story of Hans by Bloc97 2018-09-04T19:24:21Z

I love what you were going for, unfortunately I didn't really know what to do after the first couple of days. There wasn't enough space to build anything, and I wasn't sure how to increase the amount of max space I had. I tried a couple times, varying my build each time, but I couldn't really understand how to proceed. Perhaps a tutorial/walkthrough?

Claustrophobia by deformhead 2018-09-04T18:37:25Z

Awesome game! I beat the game, it's short and sweet, and not too hard. For a post jam version, I'd love to hear some music. Also, I think it would be nice if the mechanics of the bombs were more predictable, right now it feels like I randomly move until I figure it out.

WearOut by Abhis1Kadian 2018-09-04T18:26:00Z

It got a high score of 150+ spamming W for 1-2 minutes, not sure if theres' more... I like the stick figure animations and music though, they're great!

Space Invasion by Nam Nguyen 2018-09-04T17:54:56Z

Great game! I love the graphics. There's a slight issue when playing in windowed mode, some of the text on the later levels get cut off. Also, would be great to have a Linux/MacOS build. Other than that, good job!

Space Invasion by Nam Nguyen 2018-09-04T19:08:59Z

@nam-nguyen By the screen border. I selected Windowed when I started the application, which defaults to 1600x900 resolution.

Crumble by anstabo 2018-09-04T16:57:39Z

I had to play the WebGL version cause there's no Linux build, and as other commenter's have mentioned, the WebGL build is not ideal. I didn't manage to finish, but from what I saw, the graphics look beautiful and the music fits the mood very well! It was difficult to control at first, but I got better over time.

Stuck! by chkkll 2018-09-04T17:33:39Z

The art and lighting is amazing! I couldn't beat level five though, I wished there were more variations between the levels. Other than that, great job, bravo!

@antti-haavikko Thank you for taking the time to give us a detailed review, we really appreciate the effort! We're well aware of some of the issues that you've mentioned, and will take your feedback into account in our post game review. Thanks!

Orudo Taima by thomas-olsson 2019-10-15T18:32:51Z

Hey @thomas-olsson! We spoke during Gamestart Asia, and I really enjoyed our chat! I found the time to finish your game, and I think its amazing. Aesthetically, the pixel art, SFX, and BGM are all on point. Here are some comments and thoughts:

- My initial impression was one of minor frustration because I tried to "save" every single pickup in the level. I used pickups very conservatively to prevent breakage, only picking them up to ferry them back to the truck. Fetching materials back and forth was slightly tedious. Also, I couldn't punch when I was holding an item, I could only drop it or item attack, causing additional durability damage. For example, when I was carrying nails and had to destroy crates, I could only "E", causing the nails to fly away and take durability damage, break the crates normally, then run back and pickup the nails. This caused me to play in a way that was perhaps unintended, using normal punches to clean out as much of the level as possible before ferrying items once there was a clear path back to the truck. However, this changed once I found all the required items (besides the special ones). I used all the consumables liberally and had more fun playing

- Would've loved some backstory behind the baddies. Who were the monkeys, why were they left on the island and why are they attacking the old timer? :monkey_face::monkey_face:

- Font was slightly hard to read at times

- Some maps were safe to drop below, some weren't, and I mainly tested through trial and error

- I only found out during my second playthrough that nail traps could be destroyed by the pole or propane. First time I just ran through them

- It's possible to get locked out of Hosoya(and the rest of the game) if you don't save at least one propane tank

Overall, the game plays well and I had fun playing. Great entry!

Among by Antti Haavikko 2019-10-09T17:52:53Z

I beat the game. Very polished! The animation, art, and controls were amazing. I loved the expressiveness in the way it moved and it's eyes, especially when it fell at the end. The quips from the blocks were a nice touch. I also liked the explicit camera control to reveal more information about the surroundings, and during the ending sequence.

I do have some nitpicks. The puzzle which stumped me the most was the very first one in the opening, and I spent way too long trying to figure out where to go. After the first one, I didn't have trouble with the rest. Also, there was some bugs, such as randomly dying when walking into blocks. Also, if I'm in the middle of eating a blue apple, and I pickup a purple apple as I'm still eating the blue apple, then I turn purple and I've picked up a purple apple (I should turn blue).

Otherwise, great game!

@majadroid Unfortunately there is no solution for overcoming the loop :(

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Cow Snake Tower Defense by concalf 2018-05-05T09:34:33Z

really good game, good idea to combine tower defence and snake. harder than it looks! quite punishing when build up a long train of cows then accidentally walk into yourself.

7575 by Shivur 2018-05-05T09:21:54Z

quite a funny game, really frustrating!

there is some lag issue over time however.

Drive Threw by Zachary Burkett 2018-05-12T04:35:39Z

good idea and concept. a bin will be nice. sometimes the burger building doesnt work, just have to redo the whole thing. overall it is enjoyable and the multi-tasking part was perfect.

League of Adventure by Draklaw 2018-05-05T08:54:54Z

Good idea, however it is too complex. could be simplified to allow users to learn.

Bar Fighter - Dating sim + Fighting game by Pixelome 2018-05-05T14:01:36Z

really funny and well executed, interesting idea to merge 2 genre together.

Tipio's Grand Typery by NedStormFish 2018-05-05T09:07:49Z

really fun typing game. realised i cant type well, have been using autocorrect for too long. good effort for the tutorials

The Duality of Two Shitty Games by Sunti 2018-05-05T09:45:18Z

good idea to mix the 2 genre together, works well. perhaps could reduce the hitbox a little as it is too easy to hit spikes. quite a contrast in the graphic style, maybe is intentional?

Baka-Pipes by overpoweredteam 2018-05-12T04:15:08Z

good concept, graphic and music! too bad its too difficult, max i reached was 37 but usually i cant get past 34. nice and cute.

Gimgumho by EPIIC - LesGougnafiers 2018-05-12T08:06:34Z

nice game though a little short, but is expected with so little time.. with some polish it could be a game! the TD aspect wasnt as fleshed out, it seems more of a run and gun.

Adventure Pong by TomPK7 2018-05-12T03:39:45Z

overall good effort, really enjoyed it.
