LD28 — You Only Get One

Coin by jarnik 2013-12-15T10:38:00

I love the global player stats. The graphics are also very well done. Good job!

Braid 2 by magicdweedoo 2013-12-15T15:39:00

Awesome soundtrack!:D

Just the one by glenaskey 2013-12-15T20:42:00

This guy behind the walls creeped me out o_O

One Square One by NiklasRiewald 2013-12-17T17:12:00

You are ment to solve it. I have to admit that the game may feel very abitrary but there is no random element in it;)

One Square One by NiklasRiewald 2013-12-17T18:42:00

That's the last one and like all end bosses it can be a *SPOILER* loooooong fight.

You Will Die Alone At Sea by mcc 2013-12-17T17:20:00

I really like the idea of a drowning simulator:D But the debug keys made me think that the game is broken..

H P Y by WBojangles 2013-12-17T18:49:00

I liked it. Has the end screen any special meaning?

TITAN SOULS by Claw 2013-12-17T17:09:00

I love it! The boss in the north seemed a little bit weird though. But it's probably my favourite entry so far!

LD30 — Connected Worlds

Scrunch by mcc 2014-08-26T12:18:00

Very awesome! I love this and Organ Solo and Great Artist. It's pretty cool that you implemented a screenshot feature.

LD46 — Keep it alive

Another f****ng escort mission by dodormeur 2020-04-20T17:38:43Z

More fun than I expected from the title ;)

The combination between distanced and close combat is very cool.

Indie Dev Tycoon by Apple Dash 2020-04-23T19:58:28Z

Wow, pretty meta. I was a little overwhelmed by the game's complexity at first, but after you get the mechanics it's fun. Impressed by all the stuff you managed to put in there!

Monster Love by Endurion 2020-04-22T18:51:48Z

Nice to see a fellow german game dev here. Enjoyed the game, with such a nice soundtrack I could clapp those flies all day.

PIZZA was plentiful and nothing hurt by niklasriewald 2020-04-21T05:32:58Z

@squeg-inc you are supposed to go back to your place and eat that pizza. Using the castle as some kind of space ship to go back is an exploit, so don't tell anyone xD

PIZZA was plentiful and nothing hurt by niklasriewald 2020-05-09T08:01:47Z

@gustavo-christino Thank you so much for your in depth review. I'm currently playing around with more content, experimenting with taking it into a more puzzly direction, where you have to be careful on which blocks to jump as not to make returning impossible.

Symbio-tech by GenericToast 2020-04-22T18:16:06Z

Very feature rich and polished. I enjoyed plaing it.

This Wasn't In The Job Description by ScottYT 2020-04-23T19:38:10Z

Very unique art style. Game is funny, but the tasks could really be bit more exciting. But of course their mundanity is the point of the game, so I don't know :D

Everybody's Gone To The Raptor by Dziek 2020-04-22T19:16:58Z

This game made me really happy.

It's wonderful.

Maybe mention somewhere that you have to press space though? And why is my dinoscore always 0 ? :(

Macho Malcolm: Smashing Guard by Bamallama 2020-04-23T21:00:20Z

Did take some time getting used to the mechanics, but after I got it it was a lot of fun. Pushing around cars feels sooooo good :red_car:

Wanted: Alive! by Dan Colman 2020-04-22T19:42:01Z

Very cool game. Love the physics based obstacles/bullet covers

Trail Blazer by Teo Yong Jie 2020-04-23T20:47:00Z

Nice interpretation of the theme :D

Conway's Garden of Life by davidsheadgames 2020-04-23T19:00:51Z

The combination of Conways game of life with a farming simulator is very interesting, I think this idea has potential if fledged our more fully. Graphics are also very pretty.

Peculiar Farming by Arcus 2020-04-20T18:13:47Z

Love the music, I think it's fitting the theme of a "fast speed farming sim".

Game is fun.

I feel the controls could be simplified though, maybe use always space to interact? Or always use mouse clicks to be consistent with the buying/selling stuff.

Dad Day by mudlee 2020-04-20T06:39:32Z

Very nice idea and very fitting for the jam's theme.

I think it would be nice to have a visual clue that you can pick up the babies. The first few times I was playing the game I did not read the instructions and thought you could only interact with the twins by blocking their path, which made the game way to hard/random :D

Hop to it by Owen Rees 2020-04-23T20:41:48Z

This game is incredibly charming. The graphics and sound create a great mood. The core game loop is quite fun and engaging. Like other users said I would really like fast forward button though.

Supermarket Showdown by Sigton 2020-04-20T18:41:21Z

One of the best games I played so far! I'm impressed by the polish.

I liked the open layout of the supermarket where you can place the barriers because it adds a nice tactical element. But I would have liked if it would have been possible to remove the barriers because on my first try I didn't make a fully optimized layout and so made it only to day 15. There were also a few lulls where you did not have much to do but watch your defenses.

Great accomplishment though and big props for using python for this!

Ant by Nakami 2020-04-22T20:00:26Z

Classic puzzle mechanic with challencing puzzles. Graphics are just gorgeous.

Ahoy! by Basileios 2020-04-20T17:47:45Z

Very cool idea, but imo the fast paced combat works not really well together with the tactical element of positioning your ship correctly. Or maybe I'm just bad at this :D

Reasonably Safe Working Conditions by CooperJKnapp 2020-04-20T17:58:50Z

Love the concept and very good execution. Only issue with it is that it needs more balancing. I played against my girlfriend and she always managed to kill herself :D

CHARGER! by Symphonia 2020-04-22T19:04:53Z

This game has great asthetics! Gameplay is super simple of course but you captured the feeling of frantically searching for your charger really well.

Bloody Musician by Filip Volf 2020-04-22T18:22:11Z

Switching musical instruments was quite confusing and kind of overwhelming.

But enjoyed it immensely otherwise. 5/5 for graphics and sound.

Beeeees by Corporation 2020-04-20T17:29:42Z

Best game I played so far. Keeping the balloon alive adds a nice twist compared to all of those games where you have to protect the character itself.

House Party! by HyperBabyDuck 2020-04-22T18:39:31Z

Nice idea, but a little confusing. I was not really able to figure out what the perfect amount of drunkenness was. Maybe some visual clues on the bars might help with this? Graphics are great for a game jam game!

IMOJC by Tesseract 2020-04-23T19:04:54Z

Nice idea, mever thought about competitive Conway's game of life. Will this be the next major E-Sport? :D

Super Survival Ball by Quinn_Patrick 2020-04-28T11:43:09Z

Juggling: The game.

Enjoyed it at lot!

Planets wars by raguel 2020-04-22T20:21:18Z

Top notch graphics. You really took the space shooter game jam game to the next level!

Keep it Lit by canonicalfunctor 2020-04-22T18:29:49Z

I'm afraid I did not quite get this game. What are the fires and the wood logs for? They don't seem to be necessary to progress in the game?

Dino Volleyball by PoignantBanana 2020-04-23T19:50:44Z

Nice little game, some visual feedback when for the correct time to hit the volleyball would be great.

Keep the Party Alive! by rrsmtz 2020-04-20T18:53:44Z

Fun little game, some music would have been great though for a party game :balloon:

It's Coming Right At Us by ChristianAufiero 2020-04-22T19:00:29Z

Loved the asthetic of this game.

I found it a little frustrating to figure out the mechanics of the minigame because you always had to fetch a new item before you can take another shot.

Social Distancing For LadyBugs by mehrdadsh 2020-04-20T17:33:49Z

Very engaging game, love the soundtrack. Think it could escalate a little bit faster, maybe add a hard mode? :)

Nature's Balance by Eric Bostic 2020-04-23T18:54:17Z

Very relaxing game, the music fits perfectly. I love the game loop, played until I had over 1400 living things. A feature I would really like to see is a line graph of the population dynamics :)

Space Maze by nodice 2020-04-20T06:52:37Z

I think art and sound are good for a game jam game.

But 2 levels are just enough to get the hang of the mechanics. So this game real needs some more levels, so you can actually do something interesting with those mechanics

Keep the Game running by Lewaro 2020-04-23T19:29:08Z

Enjoyed the scheduling part greatly, but not really cared for the actual DM part because it was kind of opaque to me what the players might enjoy and if there was even any system behind it.

Graphics are great and it's certainly a really innovative game idea.

The Dark Cave by Tom Stephenson 2020-04-22T20:43:31Z

Fantastic LIMBO demake. The spider is so creepy brrrr

Spoon by Cadstor 2020-04-23T20:03:39Z

I had to rename the folder Spoon_Data to SpoonPC_Data for it to work on Windows.

Game is simple but fun, love the fail state animation xD

Protect Your Princess by FPixel 2020-04-20T18:48:45Z

Fun game with great graphics. Props for making the player character selectable.

Prince of Al Harrah by dmarku 2020-04-22T19:35:15Z

I'm impressed by the polish of this game. Feels like a full fledged puzzle game with great graphics and audio!
