LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

Sacrilicious by garethiw 2018-12-05T23:12:09Z

This is the best game I played so far. It's great that the game has such a high speed. The voice, art and the sound do the rest. Really good job! I could think this game would profit a lot from a coop or versus mode. So two player try to combine sacrifices or play against each other.

Upwell by Raogs 2018-12-04T20:13:04Z

It's nice that you offered so many different settings to play the game. But I think it would have been enough to just play with a single one and instead enrich the gameplay itself a bit. Nevertheless I really enjoyed your game and the sound effects. Also the simple art style does a great job by conveying the humor of this game. But to be honest it is really hard for me to hurt a duck.

Awkward Sacrifice by KirLosev 2018-12-03T22:47:01Z

Funny idea! The hero looked so likeable. What a pitty that he had to loose al his limbs.

Spacefight by recyx 2018-12-03T22:20:14Z

At the beginning I thought " You can handle this, your lifebar is filling up pretty fast you will be alright". Man was I wrong. Great level of difficulty and nice pun with the text! I admire your dedication for so many different types of enemies and you even got time for a tutorial. The only shortcoming for me is, that the rotations feels a little bit off. I would have suspected that I will move in some kind of arch but it was in place. The music could also be a little more driving. But all in all a really good game which does not look like it was made in a weekend! Great job!

False God by kothead 2018-12-05T22:12:33Z

Wow, I think this is the game which transported the most intense atmosphere for me right from the beginning. Was a bit hard to understand the mechanics but the music and the art work really great together.

Mindu's Hope by Bendev_Games 2018-12-05T22:58:15Z

Nice gameidea really innovative. What a pitty that it does not work properly in the browser.

Sacrifitem by ggraca 2018-12-05T22:50:02Z

I really enjoyed that it is not necessary to read any instructions as the game explains itself. This truly shows a well designed gameplay. Well done.

Not-So-Nicer-Dicer by sadsmile 2018-12-05T23:06:56Z

Really nice game idea. Impressive that you did in a weekend! I think puzzle and strategy games are the hardest with a limited amount of time. I really enjoyed the setting.

Space Hopper by Tom Robson 2018-12-04T19:46:58Z

Nice setting! The art and the sound are really beautiful. Had some problems with the controls but was still fun playing. I really liked how you inserted a seperate layer for the background to create some kind of parallax effect.

Sacrifice Them by velvetlobster 2018-12-05T22:32:15Z

Liked the theme of the game. The figures look really depressed and sad. The controls were also really nice. I only think that the gamplay is not fun enough. In your case this is not too bad as the game transports a real message.

Sacrifices must be made - Ludum Dare 43 by great-bobleny 2018-12-05T22:27:46Z

The start is a bit hard as I did not understand how the buildings work together and how I can increase my population. I really like that you took the challenge to make strategy game in a weekend. I really see some potential here but it needs more polishing. Sounds and art are fine just the gameplay itself could either need a tutorial or a simplification.

Flock of Salvation by Juutis 2018-12-05T22:36:37Z

The game really gains some speed after a while when there are a lot of birds! Good job

Monster Creator by Arcus 2018-12-03T21:36:42Z

I have mixed feelings about the mixture of real and pixel textures. But I like the style of your pixel art. To be honest it is hard to make out the purpose of the game.

Destroy All Cubes! by Danny Sun 2018-12-04T19:51:57Z

The message of your game is great! Also I found my self getting excited when I reached the throphy screen. You triggered the good old collecting instinct. Otherwise I'm not quite sure if it fits the theme perfectly. It would have been nice if missing the rubish would have an impact on some lifebar or something.

BOBA by BMOPAPA 2018-12-04T20:21:56Z

This is a really creative game idea. The controls work great. At the beginning I thought this game is a bit too easy but after the two straws it gains momentum. Still I think the difficulty could increase a little faster.

Volcano Fling by Barrier 2018-12-03T21:49:50Z

I couldn't hold it anymore after I flinged the first villager. The sound and the art are matching perfectly. Such a simple and elegant game Idea. Could have been improved if I had to flinge specific villagers to satisfy the vulcano.

Dungeon of Friendship by captainweeaboo 2018-12-03T21:43:52Z

The music and art are really nice and innovative. I was not able to do anything else then walking and jumping in the browser version (G did not do anything). Thats a bit sad as I really enjoyed the setting. Also a good idea to include the tutorial right into the game.

Dungeon of Friendship by captainweeaboo 2018-12-03T22:41:35Z

@goldenmelon I played in Chrome 70.0.3538.110 on Mac OS Mojave.

Dungeon of Friendship by captainweeaboo 2018-12-03T22:51:01Z

@goldenmelon The problem was on my site I fixed it and now I can play your game :)

Son of Cthulhu by spidamoo 2018-12-03T22:37:19Z

The shooting behaviour of the tentacles is very well made. So sad that I only have eight of them:(

HSMC Arena by MrGrimace 2018-12-05T22:41:53Z

Wow this was fun! I would really like to play this game as a multiplayer with different enemy types and maybe more skills.

Unity Sacrifice Battle(USB) by Gri-Bel 2018-12-04T20:52:04Z

Unfortunately I can't play it in the web

Bee Defence by antonhvid 2018-12-04T19:39:50Z

A pretty difficult game. The art is simple but does a good job by creating a nice atmosphere.

Old Ways by Esosek 2018-12-04T20:37:08Z

Was laughing when I sacrificed the first cow and the activists were charging towards me. Also enjoyed the fact that the cow got really tiny after loading it into my wheelbarrow. I was not able to finish the game I could not find an empty altar but I still had to run around and dodge the activists. Is there a way to wind the game?

A dangerous situation not to wear shoes in by wie_ 2018-12-03T22:33:18Z

I liked the setting a lot! The commands are a bit off but its still fun!

How to feed your dragon by Evgeniya Zapolnova 2018-12-03T21:34:06Z

Loved the art and the music. It's simple but made me laugh.

Shooting Chickens by PxLucasF 2018-12-04T20:50:08Z

The animation howe the gun deforms when the chicken leaves the barrel is nice. You can clearly feel that you put a lot of work into the game. But it seemed a little easy atfer a while. I caught myself tapping left and right alternately. A restricted number of chickens would solve this problem. Nevertheless a great and fun game to play.

2 Choices by Sashbros 2018-12-04T19:55:13Z

Beside the lag a very decent entry for your first ludum dare! Great job the animations look good.

No time for everything by BenitezDev 2018-12-04T20:30:28Z

I really like the idea behind the game. Sadly there is not much fun within this game. Maybe you could require the player to achieve a certain combination of life goals by sacrificing the different items. But there should be many possible combinations.

Volcano Diver by Slowpro 2018-12-03T22:26:39Z

The particle effects are great. The hero reminded me a bit of the doomslayer. Was not so easy to understand, that the plattforms are dripping of at random places when I'm shooting. But nevertheless congrats on your fun game. My first game was not as nearly as polished as this one!

Spagchute by ThomasGC 2018-12-04T20:00:21Z

Your game idea mad me laugh and i can totally feel the meaning of sacrificing your last spaghetti! It touched me emotionally. After a while it gets a bit repetitive. The aim of the game could be to feed a hungry child and it will not be satisfied if the noodle gets to short.

Peregrinations by Mathilde 2018-12-04T20:07:43Z

Throwing stuff around is fun! Also I really like the art and the music. The simple piano sound fits the setting pretty good. The only thing that bothered me was that it seemed that there is too little time to play around with the environment as you have to throw the coal into the fire all the time to stay in the air. Its really impressive that this is your first entry and you even did 3D. Great job!

LD44 — Your life is currency

Nine Lives by markusfisch 2019-04-29T09:31:29Z

Nice idea and sweet and simple graphics. I would love to see some more possibilities to actually save lives then just remembering the levels. I am talking about some mechanic like minesweeper where you can have an idea where the next trap is even without sacrificing half a life.

LD57 — Depths

The Cleaner of the depth by Egor Iv 2025-04-08T05:39:33Z

Awesome art and sound design. The restart loop and constant movement of the camera really give it a polished look! For me it was a bit hard to understand which tooth are bad ones.

Coin Grind by jester1454 2025-04-08T18:12:05Z

Controlls are not working well for me. Can't reliable switch between weapons. But still was a lot of fun to play. And you even created multiple levels!

Green Tastes Funny by JustCore 2025-04-08T18:15:19Z

Really moody and well executed! The enemies came as a bit of a surprise for me but in the second round it worked better :)

High Pressure Arena by HexStart 2025-04-08T13:48:17Z

You did this in this short time frame? Insane. A lot of fun! WOuld have loved to be able to do barrel role.

a shrimply irresistible story by WeeFairyFabi 2025-04-08T11:06:23Z

Very nice art style and I love the sounds. How you display the text is also very well executed. I personally would have liked the text to appear a little faster.

Depths of Death by Philocode 2025-04-08T11:10:23Z

Controls did not work correctly for me. The idea of aiming with the mouse and moving with WASD is great. Really could work for a bigger game as well. I really see potential and it's amazing that you even found time to create a start and menu screen.

Don't wake him up by dithom 2025-04-08T05:27:10Z

Very nicely executed idea! Love the graphics and the eye for detail. Really can see the potential for more levels with this game idea!
