LD39 — Running out of Power

Power Bunnies by pcmaster 2017-08-02T17:44:42Z

Nice game, but quite hard! :O The idea is really good and I love the graphic asset. You even put a way to stop the music/sounds, great job ;)

Wodewick, the grumpy monster by winniehell 2017-08-01T21:39:54Z

Really good audio and graphics! I love the sounds and the kawaiiness of characters, and it's also pretty fun to play :)

Astro Mining by d3garcia 2017-08-01T21:45:26Z

It's a nice game, graphic assets are pretty good but it would be even better with some music/sound effects :O

T.A.G. Reborn by Code Dream 2017-08-02T17:59:53Z

Really good graphic assets, the lighting setup provide a great atmosphere. The music fits pretty well too, great job ;)

Deep Space Nine Volts by Boxfort 2017-08-01T21:32:39Z

Congratulation, it's a really nice game that we have here. It's kinda challenging though, I died due to the lack of power in the ship shield :O

Mine Rocket (TD/RTS) by Ashment 2017-08-01T22:24:47Z

Wow, great job making a nice RTS game in a such little amount of time! 3D models are really neat and the animations are impressive! The audio part is also very good :O

LD42 — Running out of space

Postgirl by Noxalus 2018-08-12T23:38:42Z

Thank you for your feedback @sprvrn! :smile:

The game over countdown is displayed when a package is not moving anymore just over the red line, if it's still the case after 5 seconds, you loose :scream: The countdown disappear when the sleeping package over the red line is moving again. It's often the case when a package falls on another package or when you push a package that is in contact with the corresponding package.

Postgirl by Noxalus 2018-08-14T11:56:45Z

Thank you all for your feedbacks! :astonished:

@lars-erik @jelbre I figured out that we can simply push packages to the exit without using the grab mechanic and I even tried to get rid, but it was a lot less fun, so I kept it like that. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Anyway, when there are too much packages, you just can't push them all, and it's in this case the grab can be useful :smile:

@alexhicks It would be a good idea to add higher flaps indeed! :astonished: The end game is pretty annoying... You can just save the maximum of package before the limit is reached.

@mike-inprinciple I initially thought pause the packages arrival during a small amount of time to be able to recover, but it was not really fun at the end. Nobody want to clean when the mess is too big. At least, we quickly have the sensation of being overflowed. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Postgirl by Noxalus 2018-08-16T18:51:16Z

@posho Thank you so much for this really cute artwork :heart_eyes: I don't deserve such a gift ! :astonished:

Lava Rider by Linky439 2018-08-15T17:21:48Z

highscore.jpg

My best score so far. It's a pretty good compo entry :thumbsup:

GRANDMA KNIGHT by manusaiz 2018-08-13T19:03:51Z

I've tested your game and I really like the bearball sprite. :heart_eyes:

Alos, the player animation is funny :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Where's my kingdom?! by Nufflee 2018-08-15T20:04:50Z

I had the same issue to capture tiles that are not already mine, but the idea is good and was pretty ambitious for a single person! :astonished:

EVOLUTION by Noa Calice 2018-08-16T19:12:10Z

Man, this is crazy, how can you do a game of this quality in only 48h :astonished: You're out of the competition :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Loot Keeper by outstar 2018-08-15T21:14:09Z

Wow, the best game I've tested so far! All is good in this game, graphics are amazing, the background music/sound effects are perfect, and the idea is really good! :thumbsup: I don't know how you had time to create so much content :astonished:

It's a clever idea to put bad items by default to fool noob players like me. I had equipped the pickle and the banana without looking to their stats, and I didn't understand why I lost heart on each fight :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

After some plays, here is my feedbacks to improve the game (I know it's time limited and that it was impossible to do all of that ^^): - It would be good to stop manually the timer when we open a chest and that the inventory is already good - There is a lack of feedback for the battle, it would be good to have the life of the enemy or some info that shows to the player what it really happens. - I didn't find anything to restore my lost life, I don't know if there is an item for that, but if it's not the case, it would be good to have one :smile: - I think the drag'n drop would be more appropriate to move items

Don't give up, Earth! by Rosca Valentin 2018-08-12T19:09:17Z

I love the game over animations :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Pop it! by LJay 2018-08-15T21:41:16Z

It looks nice! Your game reminds me [Popcorn Chef](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ramsayamarin.popcornchef&hl=fr), an Android game :smile:

SWORD1 by Lawrence 2018-08-14T23:00:39Z

One the best entry I've tested until now (and I've tested a lot of games!). The idea is really great and the game is challenging, I had to restart mostly of the levels to beat them. Congratulation for your job :thumbsup:

Space Goats 2 by Tim Ruswick 2018-08-14T23:42:03Z

It's not a good day to be a goat :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Binary Garbage Separation by Nehvis 2018-08-13T20:25:34Z

The game is fun to play, and it's not so easy to make a fun game ^^ Congrats :wink:

Power Plant by Noam 2018-08-13T19:48:29Z

It's kinda hypnotizing, and it looks really nice! :astonished:

The AI is pretty aggressive, it's a real flower war :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Volka by Cisco 2018-08-16T22:29:06Z

Really good idea! And it perfectly matches the theme, good job! :thumbsup:

Cherrytales - Cherryboy and Briar Princess by Beebo Studios 2018-08-14T21:14:08Z

Wow, this game is really beautiful! :astonished:

Reductor (LD42 Comp Entry) by ConorOD 2018-08-13T19:28:49Z

My best score: 48800 (wave 7).

It became really difficult when the game decided to remove tiles at the center of the arena :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Anyway, really good entry, it's impressive to see the amount of content you made in so little time, congratulation :thumbsup:

Falling Ecosystem by sprvrn 2018-08-12T16:59:34Z

Really nice game! I didn't really understand how to increase the life (or love? :O), but the principle is easy and pleasant to play. :thumbsup:

Falling Ecosystem by sprvrn 2018-08-12T17:49:31Z

@sprvrn Oh, didn't see that neither :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Thanks for the explanation :wink:

Lemon by TroyD 2018-08-15T20:44:40Z

Really good voice acting, I laughed a few times :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

The game looks good and is fun to play, but it's a lot harder than it seems. I didn't manage to reach the end :cry:

Noah's Help! by Ian Kettlewell 2018-08-14T23:14:35Z

As a devloper too, I know it's not easy to create good looking graphics, and you did this very well for this entry, I love this style! :heart_eyes:

It's was also a good idea to associate each animal to an instrument, it's little details like this one that change a normal game to a good game :thumbsup:

Postman by BadBonus 2018-08-14T11:44:56Z

This game works well! But it's so frustrating when the trucks start with the door still opened just to let out some packages :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Tunnel Ride by Xyntell 2018-08-16T22:24:42Z

My score was 42 on my first game, I think this number has a special meaning!

The game is simple, but fun to play, good job! :thumbsup:

Quatris - LD42 - Running out of Space by KiotiKid 2018-08-13T19:54:05Z

Tetris is THE game that matches this theme perfectly, and it's a clever idea to let the player turns the "board" :thumbsup:

One Man's Trash by mike_inPrinciple 2018-08-14T12:10:36Z

I really love the sound effects :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: And the game is fun to play, good job! :thumbsup:

Your Friend Compo by Ulcius 2018-08-13T19:12:31Z

Smart idea! I like the name of some file/folder :stuck_out_tongue:

But is this a normal thing we can manually lower the irritation level? :astonished:

Claustrophobia by DangoGameDev 2018-08-15T20:19:09Z

I'm not really sure to understand what happened when I played. I just took the hammer in the spikes room and click on the door and it was finished :astonished: Did I miss something? Is there anything to do with the plates?

Anyway, I love the ambience and graphics of your game, it looks really great! :thumbsup:

Satellites - Running out of Space! by TheOmelet 2018-08-13T20:07:04Z

After +1000 debris, my PC started to slow down :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Amazing visual and clever idea! But it's really hard to predict satellite collision :astonished:

Tappy Face by S_Knight 2018-08-15T21:34:28Z

The game is really pleasant to play and kind of challenging! :astonished:

I love the all ideas you had for each shape, particularly the star one (I would never thought about that!). :thumbsup:

It would be good to play it on a phone :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

The Pit by jelbre 2018-08-13T19:36:51Z

Good idea! :thumbsup: It was clever to allow the player to move crate, because the random god was not with me in my tests :stuck_out_tongue:

Crumble by anstabo 2018-08-14T21:29:34Z

This game looks so nice and is very fun to play. It's harder than I initially thought, I only managed to go down to 30 seconds :sob: Anyway, really great job on this entry, and with only 2 people, it's pretty impressive!

Plastic Patch Cleanup by Lars-Erik 2018-08-13T20:14:19Z

I killed all the fishes and birds :astonished:

Whereas I only let 200 plastics pass :stuck_out_tongue:

Polterplot by posho 2018-08-16T19:08:15Z

Great entry! I really like your graphic style, and I'm still impress by the number of assets you can produce in so little time :astonished: My technique to win is to take the seed bag targetted by the AI, it's not really fair but who care? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

LD46 — Keep it alive

Rover Pilot by workshopcraft 2020-04-22T14:24:16Z

I don't have sound during the game whereas you pushed 4 wav files on your repository, didn't you use them? :thinking:

Keep the King Alive by Noxalus 2020-04-22T13:38:51Z

Wow, thank you all for your feebacks! :scream_cat:

Most of what have been said is things that I wanted to do if I had more time :cry:

- Multi selection for units => I obviously knew that it was one of the most important missing feature for a "STR" like game but for me it would be too complicated and time consuming to add it (selection rectangle, box cast, how to handle units that don't have the same abilities?, etc...), and I prefered to find a way to limit the unit count and let the "micromanagement" - The music loop is bad and I knew it too, that's why I took the time to add a mute button. But what I should have done, at least, would be to decrease the music volume. The music is way too loud and I should have take 10 seconds to do that.

But when I started the jam, I didn't think the idea I had in mind would be so hard to achieve in the given time and I've quickly been overloaded by the amount of work. I cut so many planned feature because I was running out of time that it was really difficult to choose what I must do and what I can remove from my planning.

Keep the King Alive by Noxalus 2020-04-22T21:11:42Z

@akronsus :scream_cat: Indeed, I didn't see that during the development. I'm wondering if it's allowed to fix this kind of bug post jam :thinking: If it is, I will fix that because it completely breaks the game :cold_sweat:

Thanks for the info :thumbsup:

Keep the King Alive by Noxalus 2020-04-24T16:21:09Z

Ok, I had times to fix some issues to the build submitted for the jam thanks to your feeback.

Unfortunatly, multiselection is a new feature, and it's not allowed to add features by the rules.

Here is what I changed:

- Reduce music volume :tada: (@tylerstraub, @soldierbear) - Reduce camera speed and make sure it depends on the zoom when using keyboard controls (@soldierbear) - Fix a bug where ghost units could attack enemies (@drjedd) - Fix a bug where we couldn’t place new unit/wall for no apparent reason - Fix a bug where enemies could be stuck if no valid path exists to the king - Fix an issue where workers couldn’t collect resources close to them - Fix issue where enemies was spawned during new world chunk animation - Make sure we can’t select item from bottom bar if we can’t purchase it - Tweak difficulty

Efi by ludipe 2020-04-24T21:05:10Z

A really good game again, clever concept and good level design! With this quality yet it could be a mobile game :thumbsup:

jumpgolf by torcado 2020-04-22T19:36:59Z

Really neat game, I couldn't stop to play it trying to se the end, but the frustration got me before that :sweat:

It tastes like "Getting Over It" but with checkpoints (good point for me), and the mechanic to refill "the shoot" is clever.

In conclusion, I really like the game, even though I don't really see how it's related to the theme. Good job for this entry :thumbsup:

ADRENA-LINE by managore 2020-04-22T19:43:07Z

My first try: 25.

The game is fun, beautilful and feebacks are great. I directly understood what I had to do without reading any instruction! :thumbsup:

BLIP! by Lucien Catonnet 2020-04-21T19:21:57Z

Pfiou, I finished it, but that was pretty hard :scream_cat:

I thought you used Pico-8 but no, you must be one of the only ones to use their own engine, and it's impressive!

Good job for this entry :thumbsup:

Baby, please don't break my hearts by Stadoblech 2020-04-22T13:43:03Z

I like the style and the game is fun to play, good job! :thumbsup:

MACHINA by Harry Alissavakis 2020-04-24T20:26:04Z

It's crazy to see a game of this quality in the compo section, you really made all of this in 48 hours?!

Really good job, one of the best game I played for this Ludum Dare session, all is good from the graphics to the audio, and even the balancing is really great!

The Blind Hummingbird by Webox 2020-04-21T19:32:22Z

I like the idea of the fog of war in addition with sound sources, great idea! :thumbsup:

Protect the Castle by Tomas.2D 2020-04-24T19:43:23Z

The final wave is hard, but I did it!

The audio loop is a little bit too short and it becomes too repititive quickly, but you made a good work on this game! Congratulation for your first Ludum Dare :wink:

Sound Blaster by itsNemo 2020-04-26T16:01:05Z

Brilliant idea, and it's fun to play, but that's pretty hard! :scream_cat:

Overwatch by rkhadder 2020-04-22T14:06:41Z

Great game, the mood is good and it's fun to play! :thumbsup:

Special mention for the music and the voice acting :wink:

ANUX by thelemba 2020-04-22T14:17:17Z

Good puzzle games are hard to make, you need to find a good mechanic and exploit it with a good level design, and for me you checked all the requirements :thumbsup:

Fish in Peril by GreenDinoGames 2020-04-21T19:44:26Z

Best time: 1:33 with 56 cats caught! :sunglasses:

Your game is really great, it's impressive to think that you created and animated all 3D models yourself.

Special mention for the cats with a turtle shell, it surprised me a lot, I thought it was a bug the first time I saw one :laughing:

Remember, Apollo by AdamCYounis 2020-04-22T19:17:56Z

Clever way to tell a story, good job! :thumbsup:

Don't Kill Death (Or Die Trying) by MadeByChaz 2020-04-21T20:00:57Z

That's crazy man, you really did all of this in 72 hours ?! :scream_cat:

This looks like a real game you could sell on Steam, all is perfect, from the art to the music or the gameplay. It's a real fun game, well balanced but pretty challenging.

Congratulation, this is the best work I've seen from now on.

Protect The King by Schwarcraft 2020-04-30T15:40:55Z

1668! :sunglasses:

Good job for this game :thumbsup:

George J. Symons. Meteorologist by Yadoob 2020-04-21T19:05:31Z

The atmosphere of the game is great! :thumbsup:

I made a long time before to to understand that you need to drag and drop the picked up items from the left to the screen to use them :sweat_smile:

The help is very useful in the notebook!

I finally successfully complete it (with a little bit of help :sweat:) so I'm happy because the game is pretty hard :scream:

Feed the Slime King! by Ducky 2020-04-22T13:54:26Z

The game is fun to play, you made a lot of enemies and the amount of assets you produced in the short time given is pretty impressive, good job! :thumbsup:

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Great combination!

Platform Hero by elemel 2018-04-28T18:55:51Z

Really good idea! It's so frustrating to not be able to move as we like :D

Permadate by lectvs 2018-04-28T19:07:19Z

I like the music! Now I know I shouldn't date a yandere :p
