LD46 — Keep it alive

Keeping SNES Alive! by drludos 2020-04-21T13:51:47Z

Amazed by the entry created for SNES. Give me a good feeling. Also cool game!

The Genesis Loop by jsmars 2020-04-21T12:53:05Z

I love this kind of gameplay and graphics is getting well with the immersion. Established my colony in a classy planet but lost most of my crew to get a good score :P Make your own adventure engine thing is very interesting. I'd love to play if there will be new versions.

Lost Goblins by pndaa 2020-04-22T10:51:08Z

Pretty puzzle concept and game. Isometric view and low resolution gives me the vibe of late 90's games. Death animation of the goblins is a bit long but it's not effect the gameplay. Well done overall!

ADRENA-LINE by managore 2020-04-21T00:04:23Z

Best game I played so far, really polished, simple yet addictive mechanics.

Olympus Rise - Greek it alive by RAC-Games 2020-04-23T20:33:59Z

Hey, graphics are beautiful and overall artstyle is literally the successor of ancient Greece. I think there is a great effort in level designs. My only concern is flame doesn't completely diminish sometimes after falling deep water. Great job!

Tiny Fragments by Daniel Moreno 2020-04-22T14:33:41Z

Wow, I already catch the glimpse of a casual mobile hit. Very polished game! Original mechanics and good overall design.

HENCHLINGS by Rohun 2020-04-22T14:06:25Z

Simple but well executed game! Interesting core idea for management. I like the colour palette as well. Made into day 19 - I think there is no surprise in the next days, am I right? Overall it's a very polished game, thank you!

Angst by Silas Reinagel 2020-04-21T22:36:03Z

This is one of the most polished games I've seen so far. Especially, the concept and the artsyle was amazing. Well done!

Keep the light alive by MaximBegunov 2020-04-21T21:15:34Z

Pretty good level design and good puzzle mechanics. Gameplay can be challenging but cool. Well done!

Keep It Alive top-down shooter by kkrac 2020-04-23T21:00:11Z

Ammo is your HP idea is great and kind of cool for the theme. Execution is simple and effective with nice graphics. Instead of an arena, I would like to see this concept in a dungeon as you say. Dungeon definitely give much more to the core mechanics in my opinion. Well done!

Mutiny by Cataractar 2020-04-24T18:59:54Z

Pirate resource management is a good concept. I enjoyed while playing the game. For normal mode, every mechanic looks quite balanced but overall its easy to abuse one of them. For example, I only buy food with my gold and that is enough for finishing the game. Anyways, it's fun to play. Well done matey!

Battery Life by fazz 2020-04-21T14:49:53Z

Creepy atmosphere, cool graphics, well done!

Field Hospital by n.feofentov 2020-04-23T21:58:57Z

Love the mood and UI. Such immersive concept that gives you the anxiety of Papers Please. Everything is pretty polished. I don't understand that why there is a missing info mechanic if we get that almost immediately with a signature. Overall, great work!

Holy Plague by Adrien Dittrick 2020-04-22T10:24:00Z

Interesting gameplay with a strange concept that suits well with the theme. I like the "your choices matter" thing in each day. Appreciate the work done in 72h. Well done!

Hope by Darylsteak 2020-04-22T10:40:19Z

Wonderful graphics and cool story for the theme! Mechanics such as manipulating zombies and puzzle designs are very good. My only trouble is with the ladder. It's such a polished game overall, thank you!

Sleepwalker by Sheinxy 2020-04-22T10:15:53Z

Love the controls and overall mechanics. Difficult at the start but get used to it death after death. I understand the importance of death counter very well :) Pretty work!

Open Fire! by Amazura 2020-04-21T20:38:08Z

Graphics and color palette are wonderful. Gave me the Expendables vibe successfully. Gameplay can be last long but it looks improvable. Overall its a very polished entry. Thank you!

City Soundscapes by Firesplash Entertainment 2020-04-23T21:34:08Z

Interesting idea for the management concept. Investing the fountain is too effective in short-medium term as far as I see. I agree with a loading screen, I thought the game freezed in the meantime. Overall, this is a good execution. Thank you!

Final Flower: Petals of a Lost Age by Scott Steffes 2020-04-22T15:03:52Z

Nice graphics, solid core design with some innovative touches on the theme. It is pretty complete entry. Amazing work done in 72 hours, congrats!

Slimekeep by BenBonk 2020-04-22T14:48:52Z

Very fun to play with such an amazing artstyle. Core mechanics and the idea is great. Overall it looks very polished. I had a good time while playing, thank you!

My Pet's Dungeon by N.O. Games 2020-04-22T11:29:57Z

Very cute game with pretty graphics and audio. I love the way the design of dungeon crawling. Unfortunately, textboxes of the items don't disappear and creates a mess in my gameplay. Nice job!

The Last Raccoon by IceBox246 2020-04-22T12:03:41Z

This is a good tower defense. Simple but cool graphics and audio. It looks like a polished and complete game in every aspects from main menu to cutscenes between levels. Thank you!

The Dragon's Curse by Aditya Kumar 2020-04-22T12:15:54Z

This game has such a nice visuals. Maybe there is much more game mechanics for example turn based combat could be better but it is a good procedurally generated storytelling anyways. Thank you!

The Keep is Alive by OwlyCode 2020-04-22T20:04:13Z

Cool and humorous way to construct the core design with a theme pun :) Audio fits well with the atmosphere and cutie visuals. I couldn't figure out what to do and barbarians seem a bit overpowered, as in the other comments. Good job!

Savior by Ekin 2020-04-21T19:58:38Z

Very nice atmosphere and gameplay, good design for the theme. Sometimes I deal with some camera angle problems and stuck in rocks but still it's a çüte game :)

Space Exodus by Kaish 2020-04-22T20:36:09Z

Using 3D audio as a game mechanic is great. I like the simplicity of graphics. Pretty work!

Volty's Quest by Casey Macneil 2020-04-22T14:54:37Z

Fluid gameplay, I enjoyed while playing. Graphics and audio are great as well. Solid entry, great work!

Ice Light by ThornDuck 2020-04-21T19:04:16Z

Pretty sweet and solid entry in every aspect, thank you!

Ark Survive by Pusheeneiro 2020-04-24T18:43:54Z

Really nice setting with full of dozens of humorous content. Pretty good UI. The only problem is consequences are too much random but I don't mind if this issue sacrificed for humour. Fun to play!

Fish in Peril by GreenDinoGames 2020-04-23T21:09:21Z

Such an adorable and chill game from concept to the artstyle! I didn't accomplish any achievement but Fish Hater. I think I'm a cat person. Nice job!

platformEGG by Tricky_Fat_Cat 2020-04-23T23:36:22Z

Such a polished game, I see there is a great effort in game mechanics and level design. Sometimes it is hard to control, it maybe about the keyboard scheme. I don't made it too far if there is a checkpoint but game seems too punishing. Overall, it's a pretty solid platformer. Thank you!

Tama-Gotcha! by JasonD 2020-04-21T21:24:54Z

I agree with the Stranger Things vibe. Nice artstyle. Love the way that the idea of Tamagotchi/pet game implemented in an alien narrative. Thank you! Steamhounds look pretty solid btw.

KeepUsAlive by Huang Sicheng 2020-04-22T21:02:05Z

Nice idea to splitting gameplay brother/sister. The controls are a bit hard, damage done is from myself most of the times. Overall, Good work!

Destructive Reconstruction by MantarayTV Games 2020-04-21T21:52:05Z

Like the particle and explosion effects. Is it me or there is no sound. I'd like to hear a destructive sound. Anyways, pretty puzzle entry. Thanks!

AMT: Alien Medical Technician by No Grapes Games 2020-04-22T13:56:00Z

Simple and catchy rhythm game! Love the artwork overall. It is nice to implement an endless mode with highscore.

Saving your Pet by Aristo 2020-04-22T20:16:56Z

Cute, simple, funny game with the John Wick vibes. I agree with that using uppercut makes normal punch a bit redundant. Nice work!

Fragile Flower by Kuodos 2020-04-22T10:07:12Z

Overall design and the mood matches with the theme quite nice. I agree with the critics about clearer goal and to skip the cutscene. Solid work though, thank you!

Remember, Apollo by AdamCYounis 2020-04-22T14:23:55Z

Great atmosphere done with the graphics and smooth main gameplay flow. The story itself is beutiful and unique. After reading your blog feed that your thoughts about developing phase (which is very nice), I remember that I didn't bring a feedback here :) Overall it's a very solid entry, thank you!

do not go gently by nsadie 2020-04-24T21:24:11Z

Atmosphere is really cool, heightens the tension of the story. Core design and story suits well with the theme. Maybe I'm lucky with the deck but I found the game pretty easy. Also, I have the same UI problems in the web build as said in above comments. Overall, it is a nice execution.

just a boring topdown shooter by Kinshuk_thebest 2020-04-22T11:06:23Z

I'm an obedient gamer. Narrator tell me to leave, I leave. Anyways, one best shooters in the jam with the best mood and fun. Love the Stanley Parable athmosphere.

Pirabbit by TimeTravelHamster 2020-04-21T21:35:30Z

Nice graphics. After figuring out the controls, gameplay and mechanics are pretty good. It has the mobile arcade potential like Ketchupp games. Good job!

Save the Fish by Duck Reaction 2020-04-21T01:44:30Z

Beautiful art! Gameplay is really annoying but in a good manner, enjoyed the game :)

Keep it burning! by Kevin Meissner 2020-04-21T13:22:40Z

The atmosphere gave me goosebumps, impressive :3 This game may be the birth of the mining/thriller genre.

Flora by LDF Productions 2020-04-21T14:12:49Z

Sweet game with cutie graphics and audio!

Keep Me Breathing by AstroLabe 2020-04-24T20:05:51Z

This is the best keep the plant alive game. Innovative, I love the way of using RGB sliders. Great visuals, moody audio. My only criticism is about the temperature knob. It's hard to control and doesn't seem reactive well. Except for that UI is perfect. Solid work, thank you!

Rock' em All by Yigit Doruk 2020-04-21T19:46:17Z

Plot twist: Enemies are the real metalheads that die for it. Güzel :)

Baby on board by steambrain 2020-04-21T13:28:33Z

Challenging game that looks not that challenging. That makes it cool with the humour in it. Love the music, I usually don't like the voxel graphics but it goes cool with this game.

Life Aber Die by cometoverdrive 2020-04-21T12:56:15Z

Well done. Sweet mechanics and gameplay. Maybe its my clumsiness but i can't figure it out feeding them when they are below about 30-40% height. My highscore is 155!

Lifeline by mlkvr 2020-04-22T13:45:36Z

Nice entry! Didn't expect hearing the TV-classic Back Streets in a game jam.

Goddle Royale by yigitserin 2020-04-21T20:11:00Z

Pretty good concept, overall design and fun gameplay but it is hard for me. I didn't even manage to unlock the other gods. Good job guys, tebrikler :D

X33D by Ben Taylor 2020-04-23T22:22:28Z

One of the coolest games in the event! The core concept is very unusual in a good way. Sound design is amazing. Also, in another point of view this can be an Album Cover Generator for artists. I love the visuals. Good job!

Energence by noirdrive 2020-04-21T13:46:55Z

Thank you for your feedback! Levels can be difficult, figuring out jump + upwards directional dash combo is recommended. I was able to add a bit easier introductory level and a primitive controller support before the countdown finished.

Energence by noirdrive 2020-04-21T22:24:47Z

Thank you for your feedback, everyone! I hope there will be future updates in my spare time.

Try to make the controls more balanced, and add more levels with a playable difficulty graph from start to the end.

Some tips for now:

-In most cases, just jumping is sufficient for repetitive wall jump.

-For ground spikes, jump then try diagonal dash upper right in the air.

Pass it On by Ryan Jung 2020-04-22T11:24:03Z

Wow, this is the most creative concept in the event with a great execuiton. Well done!

Probably the worst game in this event, but I'm still so proud that I finished it by ThatSoloDev 2020-04-21T13:08:55Z

Probably the best game name in this event, if the actual name is "Probably the worst game in this event, but I'm still so proud that I finished it" :)

Don´t forget me by Joaquinm 2020-04-21T13:30:08Z

Cool game with a cool artstyle, good job!

Social Distancing For LadyBugs by mehrdadsh 2020-04-22T11:42:09Z

Simple yet fun to play. Don't know why but for some reason I thought other bugs are gonna attack ladybugs :) Good job!

Mr. Fluff by Nazorus 2020-04-22T13:30:46Z

Nice game! I like the gun sound :) There may be more elements that increase the difficulty over time. There isn't much to do for me after 2 minutes. Also, this is the 4th Tamagotchi-like entry I've seen so far. Was wondering the reason, are they make a comeback again?

Dog Feeder by plantleaf 2020-04-22T11:14:21Z

Finished the game. This is one of the games that gave you an idea of life: "Don't forget guys smoking is bad!"

The Offer by TheWinrawr 2020-04-22T11:57:20Z

Pretty spooky artsyle with Limbo aesthetics. Story suits well with it. I wish there is an ambient music as others said. Anyways, well done!

Snail Guard by bredcrumb 2020-04-21T21:41:27Z

Different controls, it really makes you a snail in a cool way. Music and graphics share the same humour. Funny game overall, thank you!

Genki by GOD COLO 2020-04-24T20:24:56Z

Simple but good execution, I like the aesthetics. I enjoyed while playing but quit after 180 seconds because I think gameplay doesn't evolve. As the others said you did a pretty neat work for 7 hours.
