LD42 — Running out of space

Withsand by TerraCottaFrog 2018-08-15T19:49:10Z

Waw this game is so nice! I enjoyed it a lot. The controls feels smooth and easy to understand and master. The graphics are cute and I like how the game gets a bit messy toward the end when the sand comes and the enemies are close to you. Great job!

Polygon Bash by josehzz 2018-08-14T14:35:28Z

Very hard game for me, but nice work! One time, a triangle appeared so close to me I died instantly. Apart from that, the game is so cool, I played for a long time. The music and design are great too. Very cool game, thanks!

Sphere by Ntimi 2018-08-14T16:20:12Z

This game is so nice, great job! I encountered a bug though, here is a screenshot! LDjam01.PNG The graphics and music are awesome and I enjoyed playing it for a while. Great job!

Dungeon Defender by niksorvari 2018-08-14T16:29:04Z

Nice! It lacks of level design and objectives but the game mechanics are quite good and I like the graphics. Keep up the work!

Cat Lady Simulator by samh 2018-08-14T08:56:10Z

Thank you all for your feedbacks!

@jlv Actually, the choose level button is already working, the game saves the levels you have unlocked (by having at least one star) and the number of stars you had, so you can improve later! If the menu appears after you have unlocked a level, the choose level button should no longer be gray.

@foxserranu I definitely wanted to add some patterns to the music but there was no time left :-(

Cat Lady Simulator by samh 2018-08-14T15:56:00Z

@flashviper We made a little level to help with the game mechanics ("help" in the menu), but it may be too hidden. Thanks for the feedback!

Field of Bodies by muriel 2018-08-14T12:19:01Z

It was hard for me because I only have an AZERTY keyboard but I still enjoyed the game!

Spacebars by The Triumvirate 2018-08-14T15:23:56Z

Funny little game with nice graphics. Your interpretation of the theme is funny, you managed to transform your nice ideas into an nice game. Good work!

Valdi: Shadows by beepyeah 2018-08-14T09:35:27Z

Nice game! Music and graphics are awesome. I liked the level design also, but I managed to get blocked on the yellow tiles with no possibility of restarting the level (or did I missed something ?) Here's a screenshot: [LDjam.PNG](///raw/607/21/z/19047.png)

Quantum Space! by Nyamah 2018-08-15T20:03:30Z

I enjoyed your game. The controls were hard to master, I had to get used to it. The balance is nice, you really are taking the time to explain the mechanics. Some levels however are just too much, I did already know the mechanics and wanted to experiment some thinking! I did go through all the levels though and enjoyed my time.

Collapsing Reality by SamuelDeboni 2018-08-14T12:30:15Z

Great game. I enjoyed it so much I found myself playing for a while. I also really liked the music and graphics. Very nice work.

Clot! by Ghoster 2018-08-15T19:19:32Z

Very nice game! I enjoyed playing it and I liked the mechanics. I found the controls a little hard to master but after a while I was used to it. It is so hard to align the blocks! I couldn't push the blocks though, that could explain why it was a little tough for me! At the end, I was just surrounded by blocks everywhere :D Maybe you should work on the balance. I liked the sounds too, they fits the game well. And your graphics are very cute. Let me know if you work on this game, I want to see further versions. Great work!

Event Horizon by Smooks 2018-08-16T12:07:41Z

This game is so good, I want more. This is too short though, did you have this idea for the theme one minute and decided to fit it to Running out of space ? I don't know if this is something you wanted but the hole feels kinda harder to move as it grows. Great work!

Gravity well by cristi_aby 2018-08-14T10:09:54Z

Nice game! I really really liked the graphics and the overall realization. I managed to be lost in space though, far away from the well, not sure if this is planned :D Good choice of music also.

Headspace by Jaydek 2018-08-14T00:31:33Z

Beautiful game! I personally found it frustrating that the blue tokens does not give you any advantage over the sandstorm. Also it is impossible sometimes to find a path without hitting a red token.

Shapes by Truc_e 2018-08-14T11:57:35Z

I liked your game, I actually played for a while. There are some very good ideas in terms of game design. I found it very difficult to do more than 15 points though, but I may be very bad at this game :) Nice work and thank you for the good laugh on the font humor.

Spectr-ace by Tednesday 2018-08-14T14:50:52Z

Great idea, the game is nice and well done. I liked the mechanics, very original.

Hope of Humanity is done.. 1st Successful LD by luckyDaisy 2018-08-14T00:03:56Z

Very fun game even with an half brain on! I enjoyed the diversity of puzzles. The difficulty rises a little fast to my taste but maybe it is just that my head isn't fully working after 72 hours of jam.

Infinity Search by FlashViper 2018-08-14T16:06:01Z

Like said before, the game needs bug fixing but I really enjoyed playing it anyways! The level design is great and the choice of music is nice. Really good work for an idea so ambitious.

Samuel's Escape by PacoTheLegend 2018-08-14T15:51:55Z

I love this game! The controls are very smooth and easy to master. I would have loved more levels, please feel free to @ me if you make some, I would happily play! Music is also very nice.

Dice Builder by KnithGuris 2018-08-16T12:13:52Z

Nice game but very very hard! I think it could use a little balancing :) (maybe give more time to place the dices?)

Fluffy Tile World by sylvie 2018-08-14T10:58:08Z

Nice job on the surprising level design! Also, the graphics are cute :) I got caught up and played it until the end. Thanks for this funny little game!

Graveyard Manager by DevWithMartinus 2018-08-14T11:20:47Z

I had a lot of fun playing this game! I got caught up and couldn't leave. The balance is maybe a little bit too easy, I played for a long time and never lost (or maybe I am very good at this game, but I doubt it is the only reason). Nice entry though, thank you for this game!

Inadequate Ark by Sean Turner 2018-08-14T13:48:39Z

Nice game. I enjoyed the music, the humor and the realization. The game design is not very original though, but apart from that it was nicely done and well balanced!

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

Sachristmas ! by Kerdelos 2018-12-04T19:27:04Z

Everything is so cute in this game, I regret not having time to discover the village and wander! I managed to get 3 kids very happy and some other quite happy. It was really fun to spoil some kids and be unfair to some others :D I actually gave my best present to the turbulent kid who was not good at all this year because I think maybe everyone is always trying to ground him and it feels good to have someone be nice to him once a year. Congrats for this game!

Fruity Madness by thomz12 2018-12-04T16:27:55Z

The graphics are hilarious :D

I love the overall mood of the game, very cute and simple but not that easy to manage! Very nice job, thank you for this game!

Send In The Interns by A-Flat Miner Studios 2018-12-04T19:43:43Z

Aww, what a beautiful game! It feels very polished and the levels are pretty tricky if you want 3 stars. Great job. I actually played a while. Thank you for this game :)

Tama Gone Wrong by Lucien Catonnet 2018-12-04T14:06:25Z

Votre jeu est tellement mignon! Il est trop court par contre, comme disait legulysse, j'aurais bien aimé avoir le temps d'explorer un peu. Mais d'un autre côté ça donne aussi une ambiance quand tu dois trouver en urgence de quoi manger :) La musique est trop chouette, les graphiques aussi, j'adore, bravo !

The best sacrifice by Rodrigo Denúbila 2018-12-04T14:30:26Z

I'm impressed with all the work you've done alone in this game in so little time. I enjoyed playing the game even though I am not very skilled :D Thank you for this game!

PURITY by jantunes 2018-12-04T10:57:56Z

I had difficulties understanding the logic at first, there is so much text in the UI and not the time to read everything. But once I got it I enjoyed searching for the impurities ! Thank you for your game :)

Icu Cut by RokKos 2018-12-04T19:01:17Z

I liked the overall mood, I found it very relaxing :)

After some time I got a bug and the screen froze. But I enjoyed my experience anyway, keep going!

Catastrophics by polona 2018-12-04T14:12:08Z

Ahah this game is very funny and remind me of my cats. It is nice to be in their head for a moment instead of be angry at them! Thank you for this game :)

Tiima's Sacrifice by bastilo 2018-12-04T12:06:32Z

I really enjoyed your game, it was simple but addictive. The web version shot down at week 1 so I had to download the game. I went through it all and had fun! Some of the hints were redundant, for exemple "strengh is medium" and then "strengh is not high", it was a bit frustrating. But appart from that, great game overall!

Dungeon Clicker by legulysse 2018-12-04T13:45:32Z

As planned, I loved it :)

It was hard at the end, having unlocked all the improvements available. I used this method: Capture.PNG

Also, music suits the game well.

The Gods Are Angry by F1Krazy 2018-12-04T12:28:08Z

Pico8 o/ I liked your story, too bad you haven't done the music, it would had a nice touch. Like the first comment, after I threw myself into the volcano I didn't have a cut scene, just the title screen. Nice work anyway :)

Rainbow Cats by Niarkou 2018-12-04T11:01:13Z

@bubblewandgames thank you for your feedback! Actually in the screen menu if you go to levels you can access the levels you unlocked. Instead of starting over from the beginning :)

@antsa I updated the description, sorry for that :D

Rainbow Cats by Niarkou 2018-12-04T11:07:10Z

@harark there are 12 levels in total.

Rainbow Cats by Niarkou 2018-12-04T11:47:34Z

@tacohej thank you for the feedback! We tried to ensure suicide was always possible but we have missed this one :) This will definitely be corrected in version 2!

Sacralice by Ectomic 2018-12-04T14:48:10Z

Nice concept, I liked the logic behind the levels! Your level design is neat. The music sets the mood and the graphics are cute. Thank you for this game!

Captain's Dilemma by Lizouille 2018-12-04T11:17:56Z

Your game is so fun! Well balanced even if I ended up having no more fuel and just avoiding enemies (which was tricky!) more often than I would have liked :D Good job on this game.

REQUIESCAT IN PACE (RIP) by pelicanodepico 2018-12-04T10:44:35Z

I really enjoyed your game, the logics behind the puzzle is a bit hard to follow at first but I managed to find a solution to it anyway (so not too hard). I liked the music and graphics, it sets a mood and suits well the game. Thank you for this game !

LD44 — Your life is currency

Fireflies by Kerdelos 2019-04-30T12:19:52Z

Loved this game! As Lucien said it was a bit frustrating not to see the whole level sometimes. I spent an awful amount of time on the last level, but it was fun because very simple in display while difficult in mechanics. Great job!

BLOOD FIGHTERS by Lucien Catonnet 2019-04-30T12:26:59Z

Very cool graphics and mood! I liked that the combat is not too complicated to master, and the idea of bonuses being linked to the amount of life. Also, animations are amazing. It took me 3 attempts to win :)

Hell's Pinball by Valden 2019-04-30T13:19:31Z

Great music and mood! I managed to enter the shop several times (hours of training on the windows pinball finally paid off) but failed at every quest proposed to me :( BI still enjoyed the game a lot though, nicely done :)

Over by alixmi 2019-05-02T11:03:45Z

I don't know how the person before me got 19 souls, I am stuck at 14 (but that's enough for a party, so...) I liked the vibe, unlike NuSan I didn't think it was depressive, just very calm and peaceful. But I might be weird, who knows? Graphics and music are nice too.

LD45 — Start with nothing

Something from Nothing by Alphish 2019-10-12T21:47:55Z

Hey, nice take on the theme! I like this king of games so I had fun finding the words. It took me some time to figure out how to use the little numbers in the boxes. Maybe some explaining would help? Anyway, great game, good job!

ARCHITECT by Lucien Catonnet 2019-10-08T07:24:18Z

I had fun! I don't know how you all managed to get more than 500 points though... Also, I liked the graphics as always with your games :)

Seedling by mechanicallife 2019-10-08T17:09:23Z

Beautiful game. Very relaxing. I had difficulties finding out what to do but I imagine it is part of the game figuring out. Also I got stuck sometimes in the clouds for several seconds, and then the game unstuck me. I couldn't figure out how exactly to obtain seeds, when I cut the plants I would not automatically get some. Overall, nice game, I enjoyed playing it. Thanks for making this game.

NO SPOIL! by DiFFtY 2019-10-08T20:25:11Z

Loved it, I had a good laugh. The dialogue at the beginning is exactly how I would imagine those entirely fictional characters interacting. The animations are perfect. I am with Lucien on the reuse of these characters.

A Simple Cube by Xenation 2019-10-08T17:19:51Z

Nice puzzle! Too bad there is no music, that would have set the mood. Either a stressful music or very relaxing and calm :) The game is challenging, well balanced and with nice graphics. Good job!

The Legend of Nothing by Niarkou 2019-10-09T06:28:43Z

@bozarre No you didn't miss anything! We wanted to make a cave but we ran out of time :) So nothing to see there.

Nothing Does Matter by joqlepecheur 2019-10-12T20:52:22Z

Is this Baba is you-inspired? The puzzles were fun, hard to understand at first though. Anyway, I liked your take on the theme. Good job!

Fanfare Fantasy by Valden 2019-10-08T11:41:25Z

I loved it. Music is awesome, I was dancing on my chair. It has been said, but I also had trouble seeing the arrows sometimes. Great game overall, thanks for making it!

Wobbly Scraps by Caberu 2019-10-08T16:49:01Z

Hey, your game is very fun! The music is awesome and the game allows some progression. At fisrt I was very bad and then I understood better how to avoid the monster and I started to fight back! Thanks for making this game :)

Cultivation by emmyoop 2019-10-08T17:41:45Z

I played alone, and it was very relaxing. Music fits the game very well. Nice and beautiful experience. Thank you for making this game.

The Auction House by Huntrox 2019-10-08T18:17:02Z

This game has potential! I actually played for more than 20 minutes, which is good for a jam game! The game lacks some UI/UX (maybe the possibility to sort the items by price?), but the modd is nice, I liked the music. Also, sometimes, I found myself just waiting for the auction to finish, it may be a little bit too long. Overall, nice game, keep up the good work!

Thierry's Adventure by Strange Nebula 2019-10-12T21:32:50Z

Pico-8 <3 Nice game, so hard to wall jump though. But the mood is quite catchy and the rythm is well balanced. I had fun, thanks for making this game!

LD47 — Stuck in a loop

STAMP! by Lucien Catonnet 2020-10-06T17:58:41Z

Very fun and beautiful. The traveling at the end is perfect. I really liked to smash managers, as you can imagine. I could get used to this feeling :D Mood 5/5.
