LD38 — A Small World

Wake Up ! by GoZz 2017-05-15T23:56:50Z

Love the visual style of the game. Not a puzzle game fan but really enjoyed looking at this game, love the story! Can't wait to see what the future holds for the game! :)

Small World of Mine by 0uicmoi 2017-05-15T22:59:45Z

Love the art style so sleek

Angery Ships Only by adrisj7 2017-05-13T16:57:37Z

Real good concept, congrats on your first LD, would lover to see you compete again in the future!

Diminishing Lands by drazil100 2017-05-02T21:35:26Z

I really enjoyed this game. Congrats on all you achieved in the 72 hours. I would maybe reccommend adding something else to it cause after about 5 mins of playing i got bored. Maybe adding some form of enemy or more of an objective. Despite that great use of the theme and an excellent concept :)

Just Another Pocket Universe by Owen Davies 2017-05-02T15:20:14Z

Thank you all very much for your feedback!

Just Another Pocket Universe by Owen Davies 2017-05-09T01:17:04Z

Thanks to everyone else who has commented feedback, i have been improving the game since Ludum Dare ended and it looks good, will post a newer version for people to play after voting and my exams!

Just Another Pocket Universe by Owen Davies 2017-05-15T22:35:20Z

@arch-a-type in my post-compo version i have added your suggestions

@ajayajayaj yeah that was a bug with the inventory which is why it has now been scrapped favouring just the hotbar allowing for there to be more precise selection of items, and its less buggy

@mrchippy what system are you using, may help for future development. I am also sorry that this occured from all other tests it seems to be fine

@rick, yeah was a bit too ambitious especially for a teenager with an extremely busy schedule, i will head your advice, sorry that there wasn't any guides to the game that is being added so that new players can tell what they need to do. Thank you for telling me that you didn't understand it. Helps for future reference.

Just Another Pocket Universe by Owen Davies 2017-05-15T23:51:16Z

@tddawson which OS are you using?, so i know which ones are having troubles

Just Another Pocket Universe by Owen Davies 2017-05-20T00:51:21Z

@tddawson thanks for that

LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Mage : Arena by mactinite 2017-12-11T00:54:41Z

Loved the concept, unfortunately the lack of sound effects or music was a shame cause the game felt good. I loved the Doom like feel. Good start keep it up!

Holiday Parking Panic! by FormalCloud 2017-12-04T04:36:26Z

Really enjoy this game! love the concept. Adds to the challenge!

Santa's Factory by SaraMartins 2017-12-11T00:40:10Z

Cheery Entry! I enjoyed the design however I personally felt the difficulty increased very quickly. Though I still enjoy soo many parts of the game! Well done!

Gertrudes by MagonX 2017-12-11T00:46:00Z

I think the game was good, I personally thought it was slow paced and the controls were a bit jerky, otherwise good entry!

A Social Life by Owen Davies 2017-12-06T08:40:29Z

Thanks all for your feedback!

A Social Life by Owen Davies 2017-12-06T21:10:03Z

That isn't a bad idea, hahaha

Infinite Desktop Icons by law5guy 2017-12-04T04:03:24Z

Like the game, good concept, would love to see what this can become!

BulletCoin by randomphantom 2017-12-04T04:32:42Z

Great, i enjoy the concept. Not my usual style of game. But really enjoyed it!

Lights Out! by rubr 2017-12-28T16:30:00Z

Really love the concept, and the execution is quite good. Would be nice if it had some kind of introduction to the mechanics. Regardless I had a lot of fun playing it and look forward to Post-Jam Versions!

Lava Lamptris by ffs2309 2017-12-03T12:58:56Z

Love the game!

Capitalistic Lootboxes Overwhelmed by SimonTheCase 2017-12-04T04:27:37Z

Good Concept, really good as a fast-paced top down shooter, would love to see where you can take it

Dragon Slayer by Noteworthy 2017-12-04T03:58:24Z

Nice game man!

Shoot - Keep Your Score Down. by GoldenHart 2017-12-04T03:54:22Z

Fixed window size is annoying, regardless good game!

LD42 — Running out of space

Borderblast by C0nst4ntin 2018-08-14T23:30:29Z

good game, as people have already said, would be great for more levels. But for a compo game, fantastic!

Countdown by Owen Davies 2018-08-14T18:16:02Z

Pics to come!

Countdown by Owen Davies 2018-08-14T20:25:41Z

@tudvari the description has been updated, however the game also has a tutorial introduction, maybe it should have been more clear.

Countdown by Owen Davies 2018-08-14T23:43:21Z

@jessifin can you send me a crash report from the console?

Countdown by Owen Davies 2018-08-14T23:43:50Z

@swini thanks for the comment, yeah the randomness of the prison is fun. Enjoy the game, find the way to win!

Countdown by Owen Davies 2018-08-14T23:50:14Z

@larnin I made it in java 8, so that may be causing an issue, can you try opening it through console and telling me what it is saying

Countdown by Owen Davies 2018-08-15T00:40:30Z

hmm

Countdown by Owen Davies 2018-08-15T00:41:47Z

@larnin I will check it out, but no clue

Countdown by Owen Davies 2018-08-15T01:36:42Z

@leviathon, not an intentional sequel but yeah it has that feel

Countdown by Owen Davies 2018-08-15T01:38:21Z

thanks @rexpeppers

Countdown by Owen Davies 2018-08-16T22:10:05Z

@suve yeah, your aim is to get the right 3 items. Yeah, the item selection was a part of the original idea. Yeah its in the Antarctic, gets dark really quickly (Let's go with that at least).

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

Your Life? The World? by Owen Davies 2018-12-03T14:20:18Z

@justcamh thanks for the suggestions, I will take it into consideration for future development, yeah I saw that the light didn't help, I just need to work on it for later versions.

Your Life? The World? by Owen Davies 2018-12-03T16:30:46Z

@figglewatts thanks, I wanted to try something new and different for me, so horror plus 3d = winning combo!

Your Life? The World? by Owen Davies 2018-12-03T16:33:54Z

@wfmg yeah, the spells were meant to slow the monsters down rather than attack, I can see that now. I do think that I should've added a skip option into the cutscene, it is quite long and after the first time repetitive, welp, good to know for the future!

Your Life? The World? by Owen Davies 2018-12-05T15:40:06Z

@franfox thanks, yeah skippable cutscenes seem to be the most common improvement suggestion

Your Life? The World? by Owen Davies 2018-12-06T08:13:33Z

@gamebuilder Yeah, I am now noticing a bug where the sleep spell, (essentially time stop) didn't end up working, so yeah that's a bug

Your Life? The World? by Owen Davies 2018-12-10T09:10:46Z

@tiar yeah, there was meant to be some better level design for the worlds, but I "wasted" a lot of time on attempting procedural generation. The spells were meant to work, I also should have made it more clear in the description though.

Your Life? The World? by Owen Davies 2018-12-26T19:59:38Z

Yeah thanks for the feedback @mza

JUICY SACRIFICES by Duck_Games 2018-12-03T19:18:14Z

Game Is a good platformer would be good to have more levels, graphics are nice. HOWEVER, having an exit button would be nice xD

Cultists vs Demons by Hairic 2018-12-05T15:24:30Z

VERY SOLID GAME! Love the graphics and the excellent use of the theme. Also love that it is in blue rather than the more classical red.

Cheap Satanist by Daragonis 2018-12-03T14:29:21Z

The art style is good, but the game isn't as fun as I was hoping for, unfortunately BUT the game is something different and good.

Dungeon Sacrifice by loligxp 2018-12-03T10:13:48Z

Nice game, with something different as a mechanic, some of the collisions were a bit awkward at times. Still an enjoyable game overall.

Ludum Dare: The Game by Darylsteak 2018-12-03T14:40:01Z

AMAZING GAME! Love the truth in the way the game plays, lets hope that my game for this jam isn't as bad as the way I played this xD Love the idea and usage!

WAYT by wsKilljoy 2018-12-03T15:37:22Z

Game is interesting, I do think that timings and how much the player slides could be altered to make it easier.

SANTA'S DEATH SQUAD by paperjack 2018-12-03T09:54:11Z

Like the game, it was hard to control due to the leader of the pack mentality. Still I love the graphics and its something new that I've not played before. Good Job!

Sacrifice for the zone by theBOSS12 2018-12-03T15:45:48Z

Enjoyable game, maybe having a better indicator of how long a ball has been in the zone

Sometimes you starve I guess... by LANIK2000 2018-12-03T16:30:12Z

Love the graphics and style of the game, I started playing and was like, I'll play a few days, about 50 days later, I was still playing. VERY ENJOYABLE and amazing it was made in 72 Hours!

Knight Soul Redemption by BGameDev 2018-12-03T15:54:15Z

Love the premise of the game, some of the inputs struggled for me at times, but that could be my system. Otherwise a very enjoyable game!

Super Space Meltdown by EatAtJoes 2018-12-05T15:15:32Z

Nice use of the theme and the graphics look good. I think it may have just been me, but the controls were off for some reason.

LD46 — Keep it alive

Owen Davies' Citizen by Owen Davies 2020-04-21T03:46:35Z

@milano23 any suggestions on how to improve them?

Thanks for all the great comments and feedback everyone!

Be Cool or Die by Asier 2020-04-21T03:01:46Z

Nice game! loved the graphics. Couldn't figure out how to take photos but still was enjoyable to walk around and see the animals!

Capybaba by matthewi 2020-04-21T02:34:51Z

Love the graphics! they are so clear and the premise is hilarious. I didn't manage to progress beyond the first collision (probably just tired me from the jam) but it seems like it had good promise.

Super Simp Boy by FudgeFiddle 2020-04-21T03:18:39Z

LOVE THE GAME! it feels so much like a classic platformer and is a good twist on the theme. One thing I might recommend is adding a bit of movement when you wall jump, away from the wall. It would just add to the feel more. Other than that AMAZING GAME!

Save the Kindgom! A Knight, a Prince and a Monster by Diego MG 2020-04-21T03:08:51Z

Loved the graphics and the fact it felt consistent. However it was kinda inconsistent when the slime would attack making strategies near impossible. Still loved the game. :thumbsup:

Keep it a-fly-ve by cros107 2020-04-21T02:50:21Z

Love the concept, makes for a good experience. Controls are smooth. However i managed to get a high score quite easily. Maybe i'd recommend ramping the difficulty as you go on.

Miracle by Maroon_goof 2020-04-21T02:55:37Z

Loved the concept, The graphics remind me of 8-bit games and I love it. Would recommend if you continue it to expand on the story more. Other than that, great effort!

Block Pusher by Pixipit 2020-04-21T02:29:56Z

Simple concept. Great execution. Love the fact its simple and easy to play. Graphics are nice and clean and collisions were great!

God Simulator: Mountain Edition by MartinTale 2020-04-21T02:46:31Z

Loved the game. It was one of those jam games I played until the end. It a great concept and I can't wait to see it expanded in the future!
