LD50 — Delay the inevitable (44)

Duck It! by Squidly 2022-04-11T02:08:51Z ♥ 1

loved it :D the music is especially cute. I appreciate that you kept the level design compact so that I could get a feel for the mechanics and move on without anything getting repetitive. kinda wish I could dash straight up? but lobbing myself around at angles sorta fit the charm of the game.

Crisis Bot by The Great Gallus 2022-04-10T02:19:41Z ♥ 0

really liked the art, especially for the sci lab and submarine. the game has a really cool atmosphere to it.

I found that the bombs created a good sense of urgency, which was probably my favourite part of the gameplay. I think honing in on that (frantically trying to defuse high impact events) could be really cool. As others have mentioned the maps felt a bit large. The size didn't really detract from initial playthroughs, but when replaying it's nice to jump into things a bit faster. I found I had a lot of fun when only a couple rooms were left and I was constantly forced to make tradeoffs.

as an aside, this is a rare case where i actually think the lack of music added to the experience. the sparse sound effects created a really eerie soundscape.

Helly Belly by lootgrounds 2022-04-07T00:46:49Z ♥ 1

Clever mechanics and a really beautiful aesthetic. Being able to push the walls back by shooting was a really really cool detail, even if I felt like it ended up not being suuuuper relevant mechanically since you spend the whole game shooting regardless of the walls advancing on you.

Volcano by ABRDs 2022-04-06T22:51:28Z ♥ 1

SO CUTE. lost it when i realized I could basically pick up everything lmao ^v^

Delaying Ludum Dare by Emily Pitcher 2022-04-06T22:44:32Z ♥ 1

Had a lot of fun platforming through your development process :D Very unique/memorable game for me, sort of played like a weird development fever dream which is a vibe for sure

Warming up! by notnasiul 2022-04-06T22:17:17Z ♥ 0

Really cute game, enjoyed the art and arcade gameplay. Sticking in one area and spamming x seemed like a bit of an op strategy but maybe i just got lucky :3

chronis by torcado 2022-04-06T21:02:50Z ♥ 1

really cool mechanic, it plays a more like a puzzle game than a normal strategy/tile matching game imo which was interesting. the art and sounds are suuuuuuuper nice too, great work.

We Need To Talk by Doot 2022-04-06T20:45:22Z ♥ 2

Awww this is such a sweet game, I especially love the characters :D The difficulty felt good to me, took a couple tries for me to be able to get past the first "level" but from there it was fun seeing how far I could get.

Click to Continue by Daniel Foutz 2022-04-06T14:26:46Z ♥ 1

I... feel like the game might want me to leave... but I won't :3

Running the Clock by Boykala 2022-04-06T14:12:13Z ♥ 1

Really cute music and art, I like the vibe of this a lot. The switch puzzle took me awhile to figure out lol.

Brain Burgers by joni-jarvinen 2022-04-06T14:02:42Z ♥ 2

I really like the art, this game has a super funny/quirky attitude <3 I agree that the whole burger making process was a bit much for me to remember, but overall I like the idea of switching between those tasks and fighting off zombies. Only bug I found is that during one playthrough I seemed to get stuck fixing the toaster forever?

Trash Panic! by Defrag 2022-04-06T13:49:30Z ♥ 0

Really good idea for the gameplay imo, it was a fun struggle trying to open the right bins at the right time. Sound effects were really funny too.

Legacy Survivors by quill18 2022-04-06T13:42:01Z ♥ 0

Really fun game, much like other people I ended up spending a long time playing it :D i had a chest spawn in a solid block once but other than that I didn't notice any bugs or anything! Cute art.

Stay alive by Eli Haun 2022-04-06T13:20:28Z ♥ 2

I really like the art + music. I agree with other that the animations felt a little long, it adds some tension but I'm also kinda impatient lol. Overall a really fantastic atmosphere though :D

Hydroponica by Cakestorm 2022-04-06T12:56:26Z ♥ 1

First of all, great art/sounds/music.

I think my thoughts are the same as your own and what's been said before. I found the first playthrough a bit surprising since I didn't expect the plants to take over so quickly, but had a lot of fun trying to organize my machines to contain the plants on subsequent playthroughs. I think a game like this is hard to balance, sometimes it felt like the plants snowballed a bit too quickly once they reached a certain threshold but at the same time without that the game may have been too easy. I think just starting off a little slower so that you can spend the early game preparing a bit more by mining and setting up buildings would have been nice.

Overall really enjoyed the game though, great work.

Akubi by Almax 2022-04-06T02:20:25Z ♥ 3

Art and music are both super pretty, and the combat mechanics feel really nice. Only minor issue I noticed was that the you can reset your timer by sliding into an energy drink (i assume that's what they are) after dying, in which case you're still dead but have to wait until the timer goes down again to continue.

Forest Guardian by svemir 2022-04-06T01:39:26Z ♥ 0

cool game, I liked having to manage my orbs by running around to see which trees need them most :3 the art for the player character and dragon are really nice, would be cool to see what you could do with more time for environment art

Glide by FloatingVertex 2022-04-05T13:23:50Z ♥ 1

very peaceful game :)

The Sea Won't Stop by m11 2022-04-05T13:17:19Z ♥ 2

Absolutely tragic that my affirmations didn't stop the ship from sinking :\ I always love your entries, great sense of humor.

OVERCOME by Peace Of Cake Games 2022-04-05T13:06:59Z ♥ 1

Really liked some of the smaller details like the player looking towards the mouse and the text in the empty houses. I do agree with other people that the boss fight was probably ~2X longer than it needed to be, but that was my only minor complaint! Great theme of overcoming your anxiety/depression :)

Tax Mage by cagibi 2022-04-05T12:55:48Z ♥ 1

Loved it :D Really impressed with the music especially, having the extra tracks for various events added a lot. Only found one secret, might have to do another playthrough later to see if I missed any~

... also thanks for reminding me i still have to do my taxes ...

AutoGrid by ObsceneBard 2022-04-05T01:36:49Z ♥ 1

This is a really cool take on a tactics/auto battler sort of game! Good variety of monsters, made it interesting ^^

Death Chasing by Tano 2022-04-05T01:22:39Z ♥ 2

ahaha I lost it when the bars first started moving. really fun, awesome job :D here's my high score, idk if I'll be able to beat it:

Can You Out Run It? by ADerpyChickenStudios 2022-04-05T01:13:04Z ♥ 1

the graphics are really cute and the game is super fun, I liked balancing my greed to get a little higher with the need to refuel! good level of difficulty for a jam game imo

Unproduced game (delete entry) by BrainwaveCreations 2022-04-05T00:59:41Z ♥ 1

dope. the off-screen shurikens were pretty brutal so I appreciated the generous health lol. appreciated the ~special~ message at the end

Extinction is inevitable by shasharala 2022-04-04T23:31:14Z ♥ 1

This is a really cool concept, and the execution was enough to make me excited for where you could go with it :D

I'm not sure if I was supposed to use the evolution to adapt to the environment (ie. different enemies, amounts of vegetation) or to try to guide evolution towards a more specific end goal of my choosing. Personally, what initially really excited me is the idea of being able to decide what sort of organism I'm trying to "create" (a fast predator, an evasive prey animal etc) and guiding evolution in that direction.

I love the idea of making evolutionary tradeoffs instead of just improving stats, and would love to see this explored further! Really cool game.

Hostile Life by Bosco 2022-04-04T23:12:14Z ♥ 2

Cool, I love the glitchy art style and sounds. Looks like you went at some of the graphics with a hex editor :D I would have liked to be able to hold Z to actually carry the crates or something instead of just knocking them around, but overall a solid idea for the main game loop!

Cold and Alone by David York 2022-04-04T22:28:36Z ♥ 1

Absolutely fantastic, this is super atmospheric. The writing is great and the resource management mechanics work really well to add tension. The atmosphere of the game really made me want to explore the planet more :)

Wormy by PetTurtle 2022-04-04T21:05:57Z ♥ 2

This is so addicting, and I love the terrain generation/art. Superb job ^^

Last Look Up by ClaytonRumley 2022-04-04T20:39:13Z ♥ 1

Super cool, still impressed by the explosion effects on the building. +1 to loving the narration and sounds too

Cup Half Full by BangTheWall 2022-04-04T20:28:54Z ♥ 1

Probably the most memorable take on tetris i've played :D really well executed. Had me screaming in frustration, but in a good way lol. Setting up combos is haaaard but I think I'll just need to practice a bit :3

Flameline by HolyBlackCat 2022-04-04T20:18:04Z ♥ 1

The double jump mechanic off the rewind is suuuuuuuuuuper cool, as is the fact that you wrote this with your own engine :D awesome work. Linux build seemed to work fine btw, using Pop!_OS 21.04

My Girlfriend Wants a PUPPY!! by James_7777 2022-04-04T19:02:33Z ♥ 1

omg this is so cute, and very accurate lol. the art was really nice and the gameplay gave me a danganronpa vibe.

Some kinda UI that shows the order of the colours might have been nice, maybe just always have them listed in order but highlight the one you've selected? I found it hard at the start to remember which direction I had to scroll. Not a big deal though, loved the game!

Distract The Cat by danashrulez 2022-04-04T18:50:03Z ♥ 1

SO CUTE :D managed to break the 1:00 mark. Really like the idea of making a single button game like this, works really well for a jam ^^

The Flower of Marasca by F1Krazy 2022-04-04T18:09:08Z ♥ 1

Really cute game, and the level design is really good! It seems like you can get stuck at a few points if you die after hitting a switch or run out of ammo, but I might just have been missing something.

If you try hard enough, you can win. by Rxbbie 2022-04-04T17:19:43Z ♥ 2

hell yeah, this was fun :D i liked that the weapons switched up super crate box style. cool music :o

NumberCatch by jesusnoseq 2022-04-04T17:16:00Z ♥ 1

This was really cool, I wasn't sure what to expect but something about this is really fun!

Cynodon't by loueee 2022-04-04T16:57:16Z ♥ 1

they sprites are so cute omg. kinda relieving that they couldn't actually escape with my eggs tho lol

Spiraland by A Chill Lemur 2022-04-04T16:20:36Z ♥ 1

THE SHINIES. Really like the visual style of this game and found it really fun.

Sometimes I'd lose control though (wouldn't move in the direction I'm holding, or start jumping weirdly?) and I wasn't sure if this was a mechanic that I didn't understand or if there were a couple bugs. Fun regardless though!

Venting Machine by EmberUshi 2022-04-04T15:57:57Z ♥ 2

2022-04-04-105321_2560x1440_scrot.png

Loved it :D gave me a good does of nostalgia, reminded me of some old flash games I was addicted to. The character sprites are fantastic <3

Wait For It ! by Forgin Bits 2022-04-04T14:23:34Z ♥ 1

omg this is so cute, really put me in a good mood :D you did a great job setting a really lighthearted atmosphere, awesome work. All the mechanics felt good too and the individual games were easy to learn.

Super Crusher Fighters by Vectrex28 2022-04-04T14:18:43Z ♥ 4

Super cool game, love the graphics+audio and the fact that you made a NES game :D

tbh I found it quite hard, I think the speed the crusher goes is good once you've internalized the controls but when I'm just starting out I found I was mostly struggling to mash the right buttons instead of thinking about where to place blocks lol. maybe I just suck though :)

Too Real by shellofagirl 2022-04-04T13:50:42Z ♥ 1

im out of pills and food but this game helped me avoid reality for a bit longer

Hydropy by lantto 2022-04-04T13:48:37Z ♥ 1

It took me a couple plays to get exactly how the mechanics worked, but I thought it was really cool once i figured it out :D An initial screen just explaining the mechanics in a tiny bit more detail would be cool (I think you just have to cut down X generations of trees in one spot to "find water"?), but the mechanics were simple and intuitive enough regardless. Original take on the theme :D

Why-Fi by Chargrills21 2021-10-06T02:20:28Z ♥ 0

TOOK ME 200s BUT I DID IT. I BEAT THE GAME.Props for making a genuinely unstable game, I love it. If there was text mentioning that I could wall jump I missed it, but I figured it out anyway so I guess it was intuitive enough lol.

The Markus Polo Hostage Situation by Chris Hay 2021-10-05T23:56:59Z ♥ 1

loved it :D officer coolguy is officially a pro negotiator. the art was especially nice, and the dialogue w/ the pizza shop owner was absolutely A+

Crash by Recessive 2021-10-04T23:57:41Z ♥ 1

So addicting, found it weird that the stocks don't immediately crash any time I buy though. Loved the SPCE reference, lmao. A+

Super Clumsy Box Galaxy by ZachsButt 2021-10-04T23:12:31Z ♥ 1

loved every moment of this, super impressed you pushed this out for compo. the dialogue was all fantastic and the art was super cute, really great job :3

You won't believe your result from this personality test! by Mikhail Rudoy 2021-10-04T22:53:13Z ♥ 1

I learned a lot about myself from this. I don't know what I'm going to tell my neighbour about her dog, though. Thanks anyway :)

Outstanding Acaipowered Spaceship by Derek Volker 2021-10-04T17:37:10Z ♥ 2

Really cool mechanic idea, it's an interesting deviation from the normal constant spamming in a shmup. Overall it was super fun, although I agree with earlier comments that making the gun stronger would have added more risk/reward. I think using the stability mechanic more for gun balance would be really awesome :3

HotHead by johnnysix 2021-10-04T17:05:49Z ♥ 1

Super fun, best I've managed so far is 29s. Love the sprites and effects :3 The bouncy pads are cool, expanding on that for some sonic-like action would be super fun :D

Psychogoat Collapse by 6smith 2021-10-04T14:29:45Z ♥ 2

This is really cool, I loved the art and the gameplay you finished was fun

Dreampoint Collapse by JoeRenglish 2021-10-04T14:10:29Z ♥ 2

Loved this game so much, pretty challenging but super fun and a good length. Really minor suggestion would be adding a timer so that if I click with no blocks, but pick up a block immediately after, a block still gets placed. Mostly only relevant on the last level, but it would make that specific mechanic feel a lot smoother. Great soundtrack btw :3

CryptoCoaster by the.jahn 2021-10-04T13:56:03Z ♥ 1

alright you've convinced me to open a coinbase account, good marketing. very engaging and realistic simulation except my account keeps ending up green which is very unusual. I would complain that the slip penalties were a little punishing when you're just barely off the line, but the markets don't care about my feelings.

BRIMSTONE by HolyBlackCat 2021-10-04T13:42:49Z ♥ 1

awesome game! the tile burning mechanic is really neat, and a lot of the level design was really clever. I loved the art overall, but sometimes I found it hard to see either the spikes or the things I was supposed to light because they are so visually similar to everything else. A very minor issue though :) Linux build works fine btw, thanks for making one!

Unstable Genius by Doc Kaos 2021-10-04T13:08:47Z ♥ 1

absolutely perfect, was a pleasure to play. pretty much a play-by-play of me trying to get a pirated diablo 1 CD to work in 2004 ngl.

SlingPoint by uvwar 2021-10-04T02:30:20Z ♥ 1

looks nice and the idea is interesting, the scoring seemed inconsistent though? sometimes I'd toss cubes into the pink area and get no points, or i'd randomly start getting points and wasn't sure why lol.

Tables & Tremors by SlimmerBurger 2021-10-04T02:25:16Z ♥ 2

Really nice art, simple concept but it plays really well. Game acts kinda weird if you spam the space bar? Anyway, great job :3 I rarely like 3D ludum dare games but this one was great.

edit: I think the music could be a bit louder? I like it but tbh I didn't even notice there was music until I was in the middle of writing this review lol

Fragments by Retrisma 2021-10-04T02:17:57Z ♥ 1

This game is cool as hell, awesome job. Works really well conceptually, everything just felt like it meshed intuitively. challenging idea to pull off, but you did it :D

gone. by wafflecomposite 2021-10-04T02:09:22Z ♥ 1

the text prompts really make it :D really good fundamental game design imo, coming up with a risk/reward system and executing it.

Pills by shellofagirl 2021-10-04T01:55:11Z ♥ 1

GIVE. ME. MORE. PILLLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Really cute art :3 enjoyed not having to turn off my music

LD48 — Deeper and deeper (35)

Tomb of the Old Gods by Dylan Fries 2021-05-05T20:20:08Z ♥ 1

Really cool how the dialogue evolved as I wandered around :D only feedback is that sometimes it was hard to tell what parts of the environment I would collider with vs which I could pass through. awesome atmospheric game tho

Crust by exopunk 2021-05-02T14:11:43Z ♥ 4

Wow, really beautiful game. The visuals and sound design are both outstanding! The checkpoints were really nice in the context of a jam, even getting through the tougher areas I never felt frustrated. Ended up with 4 deaths and 337 seconds on my first playthrough which to me is perfect for a jam game.

Only CC is that since the first time I ran into the big ball at the end I didn't actually push through, I was left me floating around that area for a bit before pushing through one of the lighter areas. The light is a pretty obvious hint but maybe it could have been even more obvious?

HELL deep is your love? by Villanelle 2021-05-02T13:53:04Z ♥ 5

Overall the mood/art are the highlight of the game for me, the PC and enemy designs are great and I love the music.

A couple notes on the visuals:

- The backgrounds could have used a bit of work imo, given the time constraints I think doing something like a 32x32 tiled cave background would have worked better and fit the NES aesthetic a little more. The openings in the background are kind of pillow shaded which doesn't match the tile lighting.

- I like the scanline shader but I felt like it could use some tweaks. The scanlines looked a bit too soft, and could have maybe used a bit of chromatic aberration or something? I think some slight changes could have pushed the aesthetic up a lot.

On the gameplay:

For the most part I found the game really fun, but a couple slight tweaks would have improved my experience immensely:

- Be more forgiving with the out-of-screen death. Being able to jump slightly off screen or fall slightly off screen without dying would feel a lot less punishing, without significantly impacting difficulty.

- Expand the resolution vertically a little. The consoles where this style of game originated had a near-vertical resolution, which meant you had a lot more room to play with and could feel out a room before before having to climb one way or another. As is the space is just a little too confined, which means sometimes it's almost impossible to path a room correctly on the first try. Especially true when the moving platforms are introduced.

- Less slippery physics. Slippery physics have their place in games where they provide feedback regarding your horizontal speed. In Super Mario Bros for example they help you get a feel for how fast you're moving, and you can explore that a lot with the vast horizontal spaces. In a game like yours where you're almost always on 1-2 tile wide platforms, it feels like you're just giving the player less control over their character.

I'm giving so much feedback 'cause I think your team has a lot of potential, really excited to seeing what you do in the future. With just some minor changes you could be making some of my favourite games :3

What Happened in Addison's Grotto by Junebug 2021-04-30T17:59:54Z ♥ 1

The storytelling here is great, I loved the free association and overall atmosphere. The scene was set up super well too, enough detail to be immersive yet not visually distracting. I'm not.. totally sure if I bet it or not though. I definitely got past some key events but I wasn't really sure if there was more I could do. loved it either way :D

Punch my Dig! by nervous-composers 2021-04-29T14:25:06Z ♥ 1

whoever decided the main character would just straight up punch the rocks deserves a raise. fun game + the graphics/sfx/music all worked well. only minor complaint is that it was easy to accidentally punch a wall if I held down/left/right a bit too long when felling or moving in one direction.

Associated Arguments by mathemagician 2021-04-28T23:03:10Z ♥ 1

This was really interesting, has a great mood to it. The game was at its best when there was a slight puzzle element, expanding on that would be really cool (as others have already said).

Monkey Quest by paulloz 2021-04-28T20:28:43Z ♥ 1

Beautiful game, loved gbc/gba zelda aesthetic + shop system. Only comment is that sometimes the gems don't move fast enough to catch up to you, but maybe that's intentional!

SPERMA by the neon shark 2021-04-28T17:42:15Z ♥ 1

really unique take on the theme, the upgrade system was great as others have mentioned. only minor comment is that I found the normalize direction mechanic a little unintuitive, but once i got the hang of how movement worked it was a lot of fun :D

Bunny Bunny Dig Dig by ZakAmana 2021-04-26T20:28:31Z ♥ 1

The amount of detail you put into this really makes it, super well executed :D the combat mini game was really cute

Super Drill Boy by rakart 2021-04-26T18:32:45Z ♥ 1

Fun game with super cute art, awesome job :D SFX were nice and crunchy as well. Really enjoyed this ^^

Chthonic Brilliance by cassowary 2021-04-26T16:18:42Z ♥ 1

Love it :3 Sticking to a few well drawn sprites really worked in your favour. The levels were fun and well designed and everything felt really smooth.

Botanica by FDK 2021-04-26T16:04:57Z ♥ 1

Great job for a first jam, the platforming feels good and you got a few different mechanics in :D Totally fits the theme. The player is super well drawn/animated. Could maybe be a bit more forgiving with the instant death for a jam game, but it was not overly challenging regardless (which is good!).

Diving Bubble by thesnide 2021-04-26T14:56:27Z ♥ 1

Fun/cute arcade game, congrats on getting something out in only 4h :D impressive

Deep into the vibe by Ariorick 2021-04-26T14:50:06Z ♥ 1

The art and music are super nice and trippy. Gameplay was fun, I think I'd like it if it sped up a bit more as you got farther but I think keeping it at a nice easy pace for ludum dare was a good decision.

Find The Page! by Rouge_dragon 2021-04-26T14:32:19Z ♥ 1

Fantastic take on the theme, it was really fun trying to anticipate what sort paths I'd have to take to a page :D Awesome work.

Afraid to Turn by rhoff95 2021-04-26T14:27:14Z ♥ 2

Really cool and atmospheric game. I think I'd prefer just hold to aim and release to shoot, but other than that it was fun + intuitive. Nice art :3

Moth extraction by rhys_vdw 2021-04-26T14:11:57Z ♥ 2

loving these body horror themed entries, as uncomfortable as they make me. awesome art and physics :D

Gulp! by GoodGamesJames 2021-04-26T04:11:41Z ♥ 1

this was strange and uncomfortable but in the best possible way, i love it so much

Throneless by AdamCYounis 2021-04-26T03:53:47Z ♥ 2

Super impressed you managed to put out a tactics game like this for comp. Really love all the artwork, the characters are all super cute.

GRAPPLE the Abyss! by lectvs 2021-04-26T03:31:19Z ♥ 2

Loved every bit of this, totally nailed the aesthetic and gameplay. Would prefer if the music didn't restart after every death but that's super minor. Superb entry :3

There, Again by Honey Pony 2021-04-26T03:23:07Z ♥ 2

Have you, by any chance been playing a bit of Celeste? ;D Had a lot of fun, some really cool mechanic ideas in here and I liked the level of challenge. The rock toss + jump was especially cool.

Pimble! by PirateHearts 2021-04-26T03:11:33Z ♥ 1

Super polished/fun with a lot of attention to detail, and a cool take on such a classic game :D Great work all around.

Caves of the Forgotten by CorbenG 2021-04-26T03:04:23Z ♥ 1

Cool game, I liked the pixel art (nice palette!) and climbing mechanic. Nice tone overall.

Funny game + super comfy. Gonna second that faster movement would have been nice, but I liked a lot of the art/writing.

Through The Crust by sweer 2021-04-26T02:45:54Z ♥ 1

This is weirdly addicting, idk how my times I ran into a boulder before stopping to write a review. The artwork is cute and you're the best for adding an "invert controls" options, I desperately needed that.

Duuude I really like the music :D The gameplay was fun, found it interesting how you combined a side scrolling shooter + platforming.

Omg this is amazing, feels like a flash game I woulda played back in the day. Music is such a jam and it didn't take me too long to beat :3

Really nice artwork :D Was pretty intuitive to figure out how to play.

i wasn't sure what you were gonna bring to the table since i've used... lots of drum machines and sequencers, both h/w and software, but the grid stretch feature is actually fantastic. it was really easy to add both subtle and not-so-subtle swing to beats in a way that sounded really compelling. great work, i think this is definitely worth pushing further post-jam.

Danger Beat by rhoff95 2020-10-09T23:17:27Z ♥ 1

wonderful entry ^^ the fact that you lose progress instead of dying was a great choice for a compo game, and the whole concept was very unique and memorable. fantastic job :3

Twist Turn Shoot Burn by gamepopper 2020-10-09T23:12:27Z ♥ 1

aaaaah so impressed with this game! everything is done so tastefully and there's so much energy here. as a note tho for some reason (on ubuntu derivatives at least?) it requires libtinfo to be installed; apt install libtinfo5 seemed to work fine but it would not run before that.

A Duck in Time by lovetocode999 2020-10-09T22:50:57Z ♥ 1

fun game with a lot of detail, stylistically reminded me of some DOS-era platformers! felt a bit of nostalgia there ^^

tiny bit of constructive feedback: making the backgrounds darker relative to the foreground would help a lot, initially it was a little confusing/distracting visually. also, disabling colliders on dead enemies would help since in small spaces the large sprites can make it very difficult to hit the enemies that are still alive.

great job overall :)

im already a millenial so i really didn't need this but thanks anyway. it was super cute! nice art/sounds, and the shooting was fun. felt a lil unrealistic tho because i ended up with a lot of money in my bank account lmao. great work :D

Fruits of Insight by JakobTheQuizGuy 2020-10-09T22:01:56Z ♥ 1

Love the character art/sounds and the bit of back story, plus the mechanic was fun. I found the game a little slow moving but that may be more of a personal thing? Overall the aesthetic and tone of the game was fabulous. A tiny bit more variation in environment art would be nice but that's obviously hard to get done in time for a comp entry! fantastic work overall.

Minecart Dungeon by cyborgx7 2020-10-09T18:33:47Z ♥ 1

Cool entry, I always liked these sections of the 2d legend of zelda games so this was fun, although some more variation beyond "more switches" would have helped a lot. Even a couple bats to swat would have been nice. I'll also echo previous comments that it would have been nice to be able to tell ahead of time what part of the track a switch affects, ie. through colour coding or some kind of symbols. Great work anyway!

Shlooper by Gurbx 2020-10-09T18:20:28Z ♥ 1

absolutely fantastic entry, the gameplay and visuals especially stand out. congrats on making such a polished game for compo, very impressed :D

Stuck in a loop by change 2020-10-09T14:11:02Z ♥ 1

very interesting mechanic and the visuals are very clear/polished! good work~

33 loop by PROJECTaroid 2020-10-09T14:02:39Z ♥ 1

A lot of great details here: the lighting, the occasional skipping, the ability to switch between 33 and 45rpm.... absolutely fantastic job! I'm a huge fan of some ambient project like William Bassinski/The Caretaker who experiment with the gradual deterioration of loops and this gave me fantastic vibes in that direction. For a compo entry it's really amazing, and i think if you were to take some time to push this even further you could make a really stunning piece of art. great work :3

btw. it's totally up to you how you categorize this, but don't be afraid to call it a game if you do see it that way. in my eyes at least, any sort of interactive audio/visual experience like this more than qualifies as a "game" if you want to treat it as such.

amazing game! has a really nice aesthetic and the mechanic was super fun. congrats!!

interesting game, very cinematic! the theme was executed super well and I loved the symmetry of everything. very nice ^^

some of the asteroids kinda looked like peanuts and i really liked that for some reason. graphics/sounds worked well and the gameplay was very consistent! good work~

Tower of Madness by Eduardo Yukio 2020-10-07T13:16:50Z ♥ 2

super fun, can't believe how long you were able to make this for a compo game. you implemented a ton of different mechanics, good work!

love the idea, and there were lots of cute details! I was getting worried for a second that you were going to make me skip showering....

loved this game so much!!! the sound and visuals are both incredibly cute, and i had a lot of fun hunting for deals once i got used to the system :D

HONK II by Tricky_Fat_Cat 2020-10-07T00:10:59Z ♥ 1

stupidly fun game, great work. loved the weapon variety! really cute sprites. only complaint is that for some reason my HUD entirely disappeared at some point and i couldn't see my ammo/hp which made things very difficult D:

Pollution by Athryell 2020-10-06T23:01:54Z ♥ 0

hilarious entry/fun gameplay mechanic but also oddly meaningful? not even sure if this was intended to be some kinda social commentary but it's actually pretty meaningful so kudos on that. good work :D

the overall mood/meaning of this really came through, and i think it's a great project even though clickers aren't usually my thing ^^

Fort Loop by deepnight 2020-10-06T19:14:31Z ♥ 1

super impressed with the art + amount of content you pumped out for this entry :0 must be a testament to the editing tools you've developed, so great job with that!

Great entry, really novel mechanic and the atmosphere was great. Only minor complaint is that on my system the saw sound ended up mixed kinda loud? The rain was super nice though ^^

I really enjoyed how much story you were able to pack into this! There was a lot of detail in the art and it set a great atmosphere.

Tranquil Grove by Juutis 2020-10-05T20:56:45Z ♥ 3

I found this game really enjoyable and immersive! I really appreciated that dying just sent you to the next loop instead of back to the beginning of the game. Very impressed with the size of world you managed to create in such a short period! great job

Dungeon Simulator by Yeti Kid 2020-10-05T20:41:35Z ♥ 1

The idea of this is really cool, i think it could be developed into something really fun!

incredibly dedication to realism, i felt second hand sleep deprivation. i just wish i could clean that rug D:

super cool entry! the visuals are pretty astounding and i love the mix of different "bumper" style scenes. really great work~

Time Princess by doomerismo 2020-10-05T13:05:41Z ♥ 2

Really enjoyed this game, the core loop w/ stats carrying over is a really cool idea. I wish health dropped a tiny bit slower sometimes but it was super fun anyway :D

Gravity Loop by Jacob Bernard 2020-10-05T02:20:37Z ♥ 1

wow, super cool use of Pico-8, like others have said! your take on the theme is very creative.

Loopfield by MikoziQ 2020-10-05T02:12:22Z ♥ 1

wow, very aesthetically pleasing game! great use of simple shapes. i found this to be a lot of fun, partially because it reminded me of an old game called airburst that i played a ton as a kid ^^ great job

had fun playing this; funny and the art is super cute! i just wish i had a count of how many pinecones i dodged :3

Infinite Pinball by Nick Barrash 2020-10-05T01:59:50Z ♥ 1

apparently i'm bad at pinball cause my first run took my 5:43, but this was really fun! ball felt a lil' heavy maybe but for the timeframe this was really great. good use of colours to differentiate the elements, too!

DEMON LOOP by dinosire 2020-10-05T01:50:40Z ♥ 3

I really like this mechanic! I think most of us immediately jumped to putting the player in a loop, so it's cool that you went the opposite direction and made us stick the enemies in a loop. great work :D

Oscillator Panic by tjm 2020-10-05T01:22:54Z ♥ 1

wow!! cellular automata are super fascinating and the way you incorporated them into a puzzle game is really cool. also thanks for making the "undo" so forgiving ^^

This was an absolute blast, the first room especially gave me huge waves of nostalgia for 90s point-n-clicks that probably never existed

fun game, effects on the projectiles look really nice!
