LD52 — Harvest (1)

The Orchid's Edge by Cornflowerblue 2023-01-09T21:00:01Z ♥ 3

@soonthespoon It's not a compo entry so any code base is allowed, and source isn't required

LD45 — Start with nothing (12)

Never Ending Entropy by CodeKoto 2019-10-21T21:02:32Z ♥ 2

It's good! fully transparent here I didn't want to start over after dying "You have become too unstable" I was able to get my sight, shooting, black hole thing, and ability to speak to the others...

I got lost and couldn't figure out what to do next, and i walked into a room with basically thousands of those enemies in it at once.

Very nice use of theme, and the gameplay is solid! If the sight radius was a bit bigger I think I would have avoided that room.

You guys are in desperate need of gameplay screenshots and pictures for your Itch.io page and here! Seriously! Great work

the camera was tough in that boss fight, it can get pretty far from you in some cases. game is super spooky and charming, nice work you two

Palely by Fluffy_Kaeloky 2019-10-09T07:17:19Z ♥ 2

best Jam entry IMO Absolutely stunning. I just now saw what you wrote about the shader, my 1080 was chugging fans full speed haha Amazing entry.

Blood Pact by theStoff 2019-10-09T06:43:18Z ♥ 1

I wont repeat what's been said but, i was definitely taken aback by finding the door so quickly on the second level for it to be the "END"

The art is fantastic, presentation, story, etc. I suppose what Artyom said is the most true. the ambition was really high and the 72 hours is just not enough.

nice entry, i wish you all the best!

Calibal's Curse by nickfla1 2019-10-09T06:22:58Z ♥ 1

Feels like a legit NES game that could have come out. Very high quality assets and presentation! Its very difficult though, i wish it was a tad more forgiving so I could see the end. (i could just be awful that is possible)

excellent entry

Island of the Coconut Spirit by candlesan 2019-10-09T02:01:10Z ♥ 1

firefox_WxBwEneACd.png world first!

:)

nice game! my only real criticism is that I didn't really know what the Altar did, i had to replay up to that part to understand it. (Turns out it was because I placed it in a crummy spot) Screenshot shows my final map

Fun game! both our games are about resource management!

P L A G U E T I M E by bruins 2019-10-08T17:19:10Z ♥ 0

having to swing the mouse felt awkward The art is very nice, and i like the premise of crafting. I think the UI needed more love, still not sure what Place does? I had enough for the staff and it wouldn't let me craft it?

overall very nice entry, but the crafting confused me

Business Quest by PronomicalArtist 2019-10-08T05:57:33Z ♥ 1

Music and graphics are very nice, reminds me of stick RPG where you progress through the various jobs.

Only crit is that each time you made a pizza or took out the trash, it could have been a new Trash can or new obstacles each time

Nothing is the Key by Dubgron 2019-10-07T21:19:28Z ♥ 3

gotta love a classic block puzzler, reminds me of Chips Challenge meets Baba is you. HUGE props for using your own engine.

I Have Nothing - If I don't take from you! by Imphenzia 2019-10-07T21:04:54Z ♥ 2

i actually found this via itch.io and had to track you down here (put the LD link in your itch game page!)

very fun, good concept. I didn't complete it, but i got a fair bit of furniture in my apartment. :)

I have to second that suggestion from MaggardJosh, multiple entry points would have made this so much better. Also the lady chases you into your apartment? not sure if thats intended, makes for easy gameovers. (Also she can get stuck, but im sure you knew that)

<3

I thought i knew the rules, i thought i was clever, then i got here Lol

very nice puzzler

Alchemy Jam by Teapoly 2019-10-06T20:50:33Z ♥ 0

Played it, i love the art & the idea you have going for it. If you have time, might i suggest making the timer a bit slower? The "48 hours" goes by really fast and most players probably wont get to see most of the upgrades.

Thanks for posting <3

firefox_2019-05-07_11-12-14.png

Wooo!

I guess my only comments are the "compo version" isnt really in the spirit of the compo since it was more than 1 person involved..

But I will grade based on Jam entry guidelines as it was submitted as such~ Really really nice & polished experience! The Art & Audio were fantastic! The storytelling was wonderful. I love this entry!

Box Hunter by xSooDx 2019-05-07T17:49:35Z ♥ 1

I like the FPS entries I've seen so far! simple game but nice entry

Zoltan's Idea by Fanu 2019-05-07T17:45:35Z ♥ 1

The puking cat sprite had me laughing! LOL Nice job!

Idle Idol by Daniel Moreno 2019-05-07T17:39:19Z ♥ 1

level of polish is very impressive But the game is sorta boring without the extra powerups & auto clicking upgrades that other clickers have. Graphics are super cute too!

Lousy Life Lessons - [LLL] by AwesomeAlliterationAlliance 2019-05-06T17:24:39Z ♥ 3

Presentation & story telling are top notch! Really sells the theme

World Class Track Meat by Dan Thompson 2019-05-04T22:41:44Z ♥ 1

As simple as it is, I love this one.

2 gripes:

1) If this game had a tad more animation, I think it would be so much stronger.

2) I think the Instructions for each event should show before each event. (On your first time playing)

And yes I know they're at the main menu 😛 Nice work!!

Battery Life by Attala 2019-05-04T22:35:02Z ♥ 1

I think it fits the theme quite well! Waiting for the final door to open was kinda annoying, it lasted a tad too long 😛

Having each puzzle require the exact amount of energy available was hard, would be nice if there was a tad leeway, or at least a more concise representation of how much energy you had. (in a number or percentage)

very nice entry overall

Fluffensnuff by Rongo Matane 2019-05-04T20:28:14Z ♥ 1

firefox_2019-05-04_13-27-12.png i got up there at least!~ Got stuck on level 15

I think it's very well polished game! It doesn't fit the theme in my opinion, but everything else was a superb effort!

Robo Portrait by finalspace 2019-05-04T04:04:24Z ♥ 1

Reminds me of wario ware! i love this

Les Pattes (The Legs) by JediNeeson 2019-05-01T00:21:29Z ♥ 2

I gave it ratings that I felt I had the right to, 5/5 innovation obviously! Great idea, I wish i had friends to play this with.

Cats Without Cars by B33Thr33 2019-04-30T22:07:29Z ♥ 1

The tutorial popping up every time you died was almost experience ruining for me

utsvulten by ditto 2019-04-30T22:01:18Z ♥ 0

strange, surreal even

Nine Lives by foxtrotluna 2019-04-30T01:50:19Z ♥ 1

Some of the deaths were kinda silly, but I loved this game. Really nice work, and how it's running on actual hardware is great

War Crimes by Oivin F 2019-04-29T22:57:40Z ♥ 0

Some minor UX flaws, but I like the concept. The shop should remind you that hitting spacebar also leaves the shop.. haha I like the idea of growing stronger over time, and it gets easier to get oil the more upgrades you have. Etc, like a snowball effect.

KOZA by Mehozavr 2019-04-29T20:42:56Z ♥ 3

Very impressive result for a jam game! Graphics are cute, and very polished! The game is deceptively difficult which I like.

Little Baby Bloodbag by Trevor Shoe 2019-04-29T18:51:36Z ♥ 0

really fun once I figured out the best way to ration my blood. amassed a large army of zombies! very nice intro sequence with the photographs.

Oscilloscope by Shard 2019-04-29T18:41:03Z ♥ 2

Super original concept here, I haven't seen a game like this yet. If I were to provide one suggestion, it would be awesome if we could just select which interpolation curve we wanted, instead of having to cycle through them. Photoshop_2019-04-29_11-39-07.png (mocked up)

Really polished submission! that sound design is really good. Grats to you all.

nice game, creative puzzles. would be cool to develop into a bigger project with more levels. But you did a nice job for the time you had.

Keyboard Twister by Papercookies 2018-12-06T23:16:43Z ♥ 1

pretty much requires a mechanical keyboard or a keyboard with N-key rollover

F R I E N D G U N by Hydezeke 2018-12-06T21:33:29Z ♥ 1

really fun, if you wanted better webGL performance you need to bake that lighting!!!

Dark Roads by sebastianscaini 2018-12-06T21:24:07Z ♥ 0

Is there a video of this being played? It could help people rate it who don't have 4 controllers. (And 4 people)

Break a leg by AxelOlivier 2018-12-06T21:17:34Z ♥ 2

very stylish! The undertale music was a turn off though, so many jam entries are using tracks from undertale.

Auto-Freeze! 3000© by yyam 2018-12-06T21:13:49Z ♥ 1

As some others have pointed out, you can simply take the "safe route" and build a bridge out of a bunch of people.

The levels need a golf like scoring system, where less sacrificed is better. It got kinda tedious, the but idea and execution are solid.

Having the iceblocks locked to a grid was kinda annoying, but I understand it might have been a limitation of the engine.

@pandan Going to play this when i get home

Chad Island by TheSquid 2018-12-04T07:26:13Z ♥ 2

Really goofy game, gachiBASS, nice work haha

Udder Chaos by mtanton 2018-12-04T06:58:53Z ♥ 0

I love the theme usage, and the humor! Here are my criticisms;

It doesnt seem finished? I repeatedly ended days with 0 sacrifices and never died of hunger. It just stayed red the whole time? I managed to find a funny glitch with the sheep level, if you sacrifice them facing their backs, their collider will tilt during their animation, Launching you accross the map!

Also, these WebGL builds are in dire need of baked lighting! The farmer's flashlights were also not working in the webGL version, making it harder to tell where they were facing.

Blood Adventure by Tkap 2018-12-04T06:33:05Z ♥ 0

Needs a web version. Spent the most amount of time waiting, and trying to "cheese" the game, killing enemies off screen, etc. Needs some more TLC on level design.

Zombo by jigosystems 2018-12-04T06:24:11Z ♥ 1

Seems some what aimless? not sure what im doing right or wrong. Your ambition is really high for a game jam! The scale of the game might have been its downside

Escape Pod by aevek 2018-12-04T06:15:54Z ♥ 1

pretty good, the early levels seemed to be too similar. I didn't finish it, a very content rich Jam game! nice work.

JLIM by egordorichev 2018-12-04T05:58:48Z ♥ 1

https://i.imgur.com/G3WkOyW.png haah very nice game. I think it suffers from some minor balancing issues that playtesting could help. Later rooms were way easier than early ones, often you could just speed through them.

The flashing on death hurt my eyes D:

Labrats by Matank 2018-12-04T05:45:46Z ♥ 1

very nice game, the puzzle mechanics were really thought out! I love the theme usage with transferring attributes to the other rats upon sacrifice.

Neon Kata by Marco 2018-12-04T04:52:44Z ♥ 3

Wow! I really liked this one! i got to round 6, when 3 bombarians spawned right on me at the beginning and killed me.. Lol.

Things I loved;

- The music (although it is just an undertale remix, i think music like that would fit this game. - The particles and art are really visually pleasing, gives off a Cyberpunk/Vaporwave feel. - The upgrade/sacrifice mechanic was really good idea.

Here's some feedback!

- Movement feeds a bit stiff, Controller support or smoother diagonal movement would be great. - The camera feels restrictive, it should show the closest enemies and you in the same frame. - Some of the upgrades are just obviously the better choices. - My shields weren't generating? not sure if that was a bug or if i missed something.

- The enemies should not spawn at the exact moment the wave starts. (like how i died to 3 bombarians instantly on wave 6 😜

Tracks of Valhalla by rsim 2018-12-04T04:37:29Z ♥ 1

I like the concept of escorting the big yellow tank to the end. But the instructions were not clear, it took me several attempts to figure out the controls, and what I was supposed to do. *(even after reading your instructions here)

This could have benefited greatly from a instructions screen, or small tutorial. Other than that, I think you have a good idea. You should develop this post-jam! 😄

Mission to Io by DeathBySnail 2018-12-04T04:32:13Z ♥ 1

The ending is slightly anti-climatic.. I grabbed the scalpel, is it possible to fail without it? Anyways! I love the text-adventure nature of this, and the mood is scary.

nice work!

H E R D by King Kujito 2018-12-03T10:28:03Z ♥ 1

I wanted to say this was PERFECT, but that level is way too long! The art is fantastic, the sound is cute, and the theme fits really well!! 🐑

If I made one change, i'd make the level way shorter. And split what you had into other levels. The UI and gameplay are great. it's just the length.

Sacrificed Dimension by Vatigo 2018-12-03T10:20:42Z ♥ 1

I absolutely love this one! It's such a mindtrick what you have going on! Although I will say, i figured out it was easier to only look at the minimap by the 2nd level 😛 no clue how you did made these levels!

Airtime by Virtual Turtle Studio 2018-12-03T10:10:32Z ♥ 1

"try not to sacrifice them!" a sort of hamfisted way of fitting it in the theme, it but okay haha.

I love the graphics, and the puzzle nature of the game! Nice work. If you wanted to push the theme a bit more, and gave a use to the multiple creatures you have per-level. You could make the Launch button spit all of them out at once. each time one of them hit a trampoline, it could rotate randomly. And you'd have to readjust their rotations before the next creature hit.

Then the objective would be to keep as many alive as possible.

nice work

Lava Luva by mcovert 2018-12-03T10:06:51Z ♥ 0

Is it just me, or is this game impossible? I've played the HTML5 version on itch.io, and I cannot progress no matter how i start out? Is the rate at which you gather stuff bugged? I'll hold off rating if that's the case.

Sacrifices Must Be Made by danman9914 2018-12-03T09:34:33Z ♥ 1

well, i found the perfect submission. This excels in EVERY Category! I would be stunned if you didn't get high ranks for this one.

I found a bug with the Warren card.. Makes it very easy ;) If you click the warren (even if you don't have the sacrifice to play it) and then press S to go back to your hand, you will still get the rabbits. EDIT: realized im not the first to find this

Wildfire: Forest Containment by candlesan 2018-12-03T07:06:41Z ♥ 2

Such a great take on the Theme! I hope in the post-jam version you can click the minimap to jump the camera around. ✌️

Gorth by Gamers Blood Entertainment 2018-12-03T07:00:33Z ♥ 1

Since you're using Unity, you should upload a WebGL build!

Tezcacoatl's Dance Dance Paradise by numeralien 2018-12-03T06:07:37Z ♥ 2

its very WarioWare, and that's a good thing!! haha i LOVE this one, the theme & graphics are on point 👌

Running Wild by Jannick Larsen 2018-12-03T05:40:39Z ♥ 1

really nice idea! My entry also has you controlling multiple characters! Only thing I didn't like about your game was the lack of camera control.

King's Last Stand by Pukami 2018-12-03T05:13:35Z ♥ 1

As others have said, i'd love to attack faster. Also what's stopping the player from just sitting in the Circle that gives you more? There's no incentive to wander off.

THAT SAID, i like the concept, and I think you should make a Jam version too with some adjustments! <3

Gift of Life by Pez 2018-12-03T04:49:35Z ♥ 3

the concept of using your own health to resurrect the other ones to fight for you is a great idea! The only thing I didn't like about it was the PC controls, but then i realized I should be using a controller anyways! So i did.

Your and my entry are some of the few entries with controller support 😉

Clucked Up! by MrLeePerry 2018-12-03T04:20:08Z ♥ 3

5/5. You obviously put your heart into this. I love it <3 I did a similar concept of controlling multiple characters at once.

Poverty Farmer by Mightymaster99 2018-12-03T04:17:22Z ♥ 1

I couldn't get past turn 1. Idk if the build you uploaded for windows is bugged or not? I love the idea of it.

.undefined by Albuquerque 2018-12-03T04:12:24Z ♥ 1

5/5 mood. I love the premise! The audio warning was nice too, i made sure to lower that volume haha. I'd love to see this be longer with more gameplay.

Human Meat Is Very Nourishing by Rolly 2018-12-03T04:03:56Z ♥ 1

the tech is really nice! Although having Cntrl being one of the shooting keybinds and W to move.. Well that closes the tab in most browsers.. lol Great game! (im aware you can shoot with the mouse)

Of a Feather by scarfdev 2018-12-03T03:59:43Z ♥ 1

Im a sucker for the monoChrome graphics like Undertale has. THe sounds when the chickens move is really nice, and the droplets of water make great ambiance. I got stuck, but i played it for a couple minutes and loved it. <3 2018-12-02_19-58-09.gif

Hot Air Balloons Or People? by itsjustjord 2018-12-03T03:40:48Z ♥ 1

AI Flying Bomb by Bart Huylebroeck 2018-12-03T03:18:42Z ♥ 0

I love the idea of it, but those controls are awful. That could have been focused on and the rest would have fallen into place.

Ludum Dare: The Game by Darylsteak 2018-12-03T03:04:57Z ♥ 1

I like it! Although I don't understand what the polish button does? Or is that the joke? haha nice meta game!

I love the game! only thing i didn't like was the controls, but i got used to them after awhile <3

Samurai's Legacy by Simone 2018-12-03T02:49:10Z ♥ 1

The mesh collider was kinda annoying, but I love the concept! That secret skip you put on level 2 was fun too 🕵 (treetop skip)

Alain's Sacrifice by Daniel_Abeleira 2018-12-03T02:42:18Z ♥ 2

nice game! The only thing I didn't like was the background being so similar in color to the foreground. My first exposure to the game, i thought the fire was bad and was jumping over them! Lol
