Reptilian President by deathray 2016-04-27T04:51:00
Couldn't figure out how to win. Had more than half the bar green with many people still alive. Tried wiping out most of the population, got 100% green with only two people still alive. Still no win.
Really needs sound.
Cute and funny idea. Also the second entry I've played this compo that features a lizard-person president!

Snow Country For Cold Men by Brandon Anderson 2019-10-18T05:45:42Z ♥ 1
Love the name! The pixel art 3D is almost like old school arcade 3D though it's a little too smooth. Make some specifically scaled sprites and don't scale the pixels if you want to make it even more retro.
Game's a little lacking. But it's got a nice look and feel and the sound isn't obnoxious. A fine effort.

Really tight squeezes make this harder than it needs to be, though the health is pretty generous to make up for this. Multiple high score categories based on how much health is left at the end and how fast you do the level could be interesting!

Extra innovation half star for synthesizing audio on the fly.
Biggest complaints about my game have been the sound, I need to do something better next time. I'm not sure this is it though :D

This was really fun. I was confused the first game, but only the first game. Played a couple more times and really enjoyed it. If you keep going with this, maybe give us some strategy around how the ship gets laid out instead of making it just random. Could do a mode where instead of timing the in-between building phase you just give us X number of credits to spend and we can think about how to spend them.

This is a good idea, not very fleshed out yet. Feel like there could be something more interesting with how the nothing grows and consumes things. I just used it like it was click to destroy single blocks.

Beautiful, fun, challenging, this game's got it all. A little hard at first, but once you get the hang of it it flows nicely. Really great work!

It's cute and funny. Too easy maybe. I see the comment about playing without shift. Does seem like you barely need it once you understand what's going on.
Please Move by tcstyle 2019-10-16T07:11:09Z ♥ 1
Figured out that the walls are kind of a hot/cold thing. Didn't figure anything else out, but that was enough to eventually win the game.

Really cool making a programming game for the compo. Wish it wouldn't wipe my program when I fail, need to analyze it! Some ability to edit would be nice.
Circle Raider by Owen Shriver 2019-10-16T06:44:55Z ♥ 0
I found one screen's worth of walls but there wasn't anything happening near them. The screenshots make me think there's more to this game, but I couldn't find it after several minutes wandering.

Dead Pixels by tmullet 2019-10-16T06:26:51Z ♥ 1
Excellent! Really played well. Couple of frustrating things: * Levels where I wind up jumping off the top of the screen. Hard to judge my jumps. * Would like to be able to retry just jumping across platforms I've built when I miss jumps. Maybe. It's kind of cool I have to rebuild the level if I miss though. I don't know if I really want this.
It's really great, one of the best I've played.

I gave you an extra half humor star for "metaphor for life, some people have an easier time at it, and others get burned by lava." even though it was after the compo.
Enjoyed it, nice effort!

Fell through the level fighting the first boss. Doesn't seem to be anything I can besides reloading the page.

It's cute. I never got any money. Doesn't seem to be much of a goal besides building blocks upwards.
Nothing Left by Solah 2019-10-16T05:56:31Z ♥ 1
This is a solid game. The level where you have to dash over a bunch of holes was frustrating, but I enjoyed it overall.
Delta Test Site by Derek Volker 2019-10-16T05:43:06Z ♥ 2
The backtracking in the third level took way too long. Missing platforms in level 2 cost a lot of time too. Having to super jump and then super shoot is awkward, but doable. Made beating the final boss feel more like entering a code than a big fight. 2Z3X. Repeat.
Despite those complaints, this is a great game! Really nice job here.
Island of the Coconut Spirit by candlesan 2019-10-15T06:55:07Z ♥ 0
Nice game, Wyatt! I'm not sure why I built a pig pen? Nor what the blessings do. And the layout somehow matters for blessings? It's not clear how I was supposed to place stuff to maximize this.
It feels like something big should happen when I finally get my obelisk. I am writing this comment while I wait for coconuts. 500?! Really?!
Over and over by mAnimal 2019-10-15T06:41:18Z ♥ 1
So hard. I stopped on the third screen, with the double dashes. Couldn't get the third one where you dash right up to a laser beam. Wish there was a little less momentum, and that it would dash even if I wasn't holding an arrow.
Deadrun II by jcmoyer 2019-10-15T06:22:54Z ♥ 0
Nice game! Very creepy and cool. Discovered on the last level I could just run past most of the monsters to the exit, only have to kill three. Maybe only two.
[N][O][T][H][I][N][G] by Johnny Turbo 2019-10-15T06:13:12Z ♥ 1
Feels pretty random. Maybe there's some strategy, it's not readily apparent. An awful lot of clicking next, might be nice to let it just play the AI turns on timers. Nice complete implementation, haven't seen many other turn-taking games.

Not bad. Could use on-screen hints for controls.

Controls are tight but it's kind of fast and twitchy. Hit boxes seem too big too, would be nice to have more close calls where I live. Powerups go away and aren't there on the next run?!
The Inexperienced ATM by coatline 2019-10-12T15:58:21Z ♥ 2
The vandals just feel like an arbitrary game over. I don't have enough time to react. Partly because I'm playing on a laptop with a touch pad, and it's hard to quickly react, but it would feel pretty unfair with a mouse too. Maybe a larger play area or slower people would help with that. I guess there isn't any other way to end the game. Since it just ends the game anyway, maybe they shouldn't take $1000 away just so you can more easily see your actual final balance.
There's no real decisions around the people who have 50% chances. Maybe some more subtle visual cues about their intentions (some green pixels poking out of their pockets if they're going to deposit?) would add some interest to them.
I do think it's a good concept and could be a fun game if expanded. Maybe instead of ending it when a certain person shows up, have levels that keep adding each new concept, and a time limit, so your scoring is just how much money you have when time is up?

If this were a two hour game jam I think you would get good marks.

Starting all the way over on every death is frustrating. Do like the minimal art style, and fits the theme. Pretty complete compo game.

Silly and fun, only takes a couple of minutes to play. It's really cute. Good use of theme.
Abyssal Maze by AntarcticRuler 2019-10-12T15:27:40Z ♥ 1
I don't think my memory is good enough to play this game. I guess I'd have to plot the whole maze on paper. I did not.

Fields Of Amplidi by godsboss 2019-10-12T08:22:22Z ♥ 0
One bonus half innovation star for doing a web game in go! But this was really confusing. No feedback for mining, turning in this kind of top down display instead of just moving in 2 axes feels weird.
Cradle of the void by notime4games 2019-10-12T08:18:20Z ♥ 1
This is cool. I think I won? My creature and I were in front of a big vase, and then the window just went grey. Was that the end and it crashed? Or was that on purpose? I don't know. I may never know. This seems like a fitting way for this game to end.
Gravity Fusion by Steffo 2019-10-12T06:42:21Z ♥ 2
Cool atmospheric sandboxy thing. Lags when a lot of particles. No real objective beyond upgrading everything? Didn't know there were upgrades until I decided to quit and hit ESC. Wound up playing through all the upgrades once I knew they existed.

PROJECT BIND by Plepletier 2019-10-12T05:30:53Z ♥ 3
Good fun, nice complete game. Attaching weapons where they hit your ship is a nice touch, feels like a little strategy needed there.

Nice minimalist game. Unique take on "nothing"!
LD45_PickUpTheSword by NickyKendy 2019-10-12T05:06:29Z ♥ 0
This is good stuff. Walking on the slimes to solve the levels is a good idea. Starting with nothing and having to get your sword on each level is good use of the theme. I laughed at the dialog.
Not so great things: Starting over at the stranger each time instead of just starting the room again. The character is too slow, would like to move faster. Although I didn't have any problems getting the sword, it seems like it's not deterministic how the slimes push it. It could wind up somewhere inaccessible if there were more complicated levels in the future.
Great effort overall!
The Nothings by Stefanie Leitch 2019-10-09T07:50:03Z ♥ 1
This is an impressively complete game. It even has a cut scene! Really nice job. I wasn't sure how much confidence I had or how close I was to winning, some meter would have been nice. Eventually I wandered back over and found the gate had opened. There didn't seem to be a lot of point to the world itself, but talking to the other nothings added some nice flavor, so I guess that's it.
Nice work!
Totally Safe Space Systems by Tim Eriksen 2019-10-09T07:26:53Z ♥ 1
The password box at the beginning made my password manager prompt me to save it :D :D :D
Your directions say "The closer you get, the smaller the indicator will get." What indicator? I don't see anything changing in size. I found water once in three games, I have no idea how I found it or what I'm supposed to be looking at.
Bearly Alive by tayron 2019-10-09T07:17:58Z ♥ 1
Adorable. It didn't seem like anything else was happening after mom showed up, so I just quit it. I guess I missed something and there was a win condition after that? She was just kind of wandering and it didn't seem like she had any interactions. Oh well, it was nice few minutes!
Tom is Lonely by pedromgdo 2019-10-09T07:04:40Z ♥ 2
My screen is 3:2 and I had the problem with the left and right edges being cut off. But only just barely, I was still able to beat the game. Game felt pretty good otherwise! The minimal graphics are perfect for a game jam. Floaty but still pretty tight controls were nice. Fun few minutes, thanks!

errant by zillix 2019-10-08T06:00:02Z ♥ 2
This is cool and different. The shift mechanic is a little awkward to understand, I just kind of kept hitting shift and jumping around until I landed on the right plane, but the idea is great. I only checked out the compo version.
One of the only games to make me laugh out loud so far, high marks for humor. Nice work!
Meaningless Blob Slaughter by evgenimp 2019-10-08T05:46:45Z ♥ 1
The skewed camera and weird lighting make it seem like the start of a horror game, but there's not any win or lose conditions or story just... meaningless blob slaughter. Title checks out.
Armistice by frenchie 2019-10-08T05:10:28Z ♥ 2
It took me a while to figure out what to do on the first level. I put my cockpit and thruster in the two squares. I can thrust up hard and hit the other cockpit and everything blows up. It tells me to grab some scrap. How? I just wind up back at the ship design and nothing has changed. I can also thrust soft and then wind up pushing the other cockpit, but it doesn't seem like there's anything out there no matter how far I push it. I mounted an engine sideways and it just spins the ship, and backwards and I just go away from the other cockpit. Rotate and Fire keys (Q, E, Space?) do nothing.
Answer: build the ship backwards. Engine on top, cockpit behind it. Not even touching each other visually. But this configuration for some reason blows up the other cockpit and you go to level 2.
So after that initial frustration, this game is GREAT! Physics puzzles and space combat are my favorite things, you should check my game out too. Also physics and spaceships! Not so much combat though.
The steering is not obvious at all. The instructions say Q and E rotate, but they don't seem to do anything? I think the strafe keys don't try to smartly figure out which thrusters to fire, they just fire the thrusters that are pointed a certain direction? I wound up with most of my ships being controlled backwards. But it kind of didn't matter, just flailing around worked well enough on most levels.
I particularly liked the level with only two thrusters and one narrow opening on the other side of the enemy ship. That's a good puzzle, more like that would be nice. Just more, I would keep playing this one!

Can't harvest when ducks are pushing you around I guess. Maybe it's on purpose!
The little ducks are cute. I'm not sure what I'm doing, there seem to be more and more whether I do things or not!

Light Bots by Inventivum Games 2019-10-08T04:14:10Z ♥ 1
Love the monochrome look. Don't love the super twitchy gameplay. Stopped at the level with a bunch of water at the bottom where I think you're supposed to jump the robot through the middle. The jumping is way too fast for me. But it looks great and if it were a little bit slower the controls would feel good too. Nice job all around.
Ooze for the Ooze Gods by maxdmg 2019-10-08T03:59:18Z ♥ 1
Feels good, nice and silly. I wish the level was bigger. More feedback on health, or whatever it is that causes me to lose would be nice. Maybe it's getting shot in my original blob? Wasn't clear. I like it though, nice work.
Knight of Redemption by Yeomsley 2019-10-08T03:48:45Z ♥ 1
I'm on a high DPI display and I didn't even notice there was health text until I read this. It's teeny tiny! "Won" by reaching the grass on my second try. Fell off, tried one more time, decided I'd seen everything and came here to verify.
It's a nice start of a little dungeon crawler. More please!
Defenders by IndieEclipse Official 2019-10-07T05:44:20Z ♥ 2
This seems good, but I can't figure out how to buy stuff. I can move the little cursor up and down with the arrows, but enter does nothing. Clicking the words does nothing. The prices on things say 150 pts, I got up around 1000 points, still couldn't buy upgrades. Feel like I'm missing something obvious.
Also, playing on a touchscreen laptop feels a little like cheating. Just touch the enemies and they die. :D
Cloud Boy by JCMonkey 2019-10-07T02:39:07Z ♥ 1
This is good. Only played two and a half levels. Kind of harsh starting over when dying. But the controls are tight and it's a cool mechanic, nice job!
Rest In Peace by William Derksen 2019-10-07T01:54:27Z ♥ 1
Mechanics are pretty good. I missed that I was supposed to make the things blow up, took a minute to get past the first room because of that - I piled up 50 rods or so! The one where you have to jump up high was a challenge, the rest was straightforward, but you could definitely make a bigger explosion jumping game out of this.
LEGION by crunchykingcobra 2019-10-07T00:44:39Z ♥ 1
Nice work! Dodging could use better feedback. Very twitchy, but it's fun! Almost a stealth puzzle game with timing door openings to not get shot.

This was cool. Took the theme seriously, no hands, no eyes, love it. Not sure what happened at the end, or what that sword I couldn't pick up was about... ran out of time to finish it up?
Space Flight of Survival by himegized 2019-10-07T00:07:46Z ♥ 1
It doesn't seem like there's any reason to collect shots or reason to fire them once collected. Nothing happens when they hit the enemy ship? Nice start to a mini-bullet-hell game otherwise.
