LD46 — Keep it alive

JarHeads by Aurel300 2020-04-22T13:13:09Z

Awesome and addictive game, I'm going to keep playing it. The graphics are great, gameplay is simple but takes a lot of skill to master, the puzzles are pretty fair even if some of them are pretty hard and the score mechanic makes it fun trying to take risks with movement.

A-maze-ing Mess by Elendow 2020-04-22T12:12:29Z

Great atmosphere and creepy vibes from the lighting and weird camera effect. Nice graphics and sound. A bit hard to play because of the lack of a map (could be good to build up the map as you visit rooms or something to still promote exploration) and the lack of an easy way to tell what your torch level is or how much refilling it actually does (makes planning when to do it/not do it a bit of a guessing game). I still had a lot of fun though.

The Keep! It's Alive! by minibobbo 2020-04-21T00:14:30Z

Great graphics, fun and well polished mechanics, simple fun core gameplay and easy to pick up. Pretty much the perfect jam game.

Glory to Tamo by Krassenstein 2020-04-22T12:05:45Z

I love the art and small environmental touches, the god tamo is really nice looking and well animated, the gameplay is very simple and it can be easy to lose track of where tamo is sometimes with the map being decently big. A great game but would be even better if there was a little more to the core gameplay.

HIVE by krammetje 2020-04-21T09:49:04Z

A cool way to do a simple RTS, the mechanics worked pretty well and it was quite fun. It seems like the resource drop rate is really low so it's hard to get much other than guard bees and I can rarely get upgrades because of that too. I think a higher resource drop rate and a couple more fighting unit types would be a great addition.

Orcs v. Trolls (HTML5) by David Greene 2020-04-22T15:01:52Z

A fun game but a bit too random which holds it back a lot, it seems very scissors paper rock where certain units can either do nothing to others or 1 hit them, it feel frustrating to get 1-2 big minions then they instantly get 1 shot by certain types of enemies. It also seems like the end of level upgrade RNG is the main decider if you will win or not, with faster spawns and more max minions making it far easier to win.

Hope by Darylsteak 2020-04-21T09:35:27Z

I really liked this game, a clever way to do a puzzle game where tricking/manipulating zombies is a core mechanic instead of just killing them. The only thing I would change is the clunkiness with ladders where getting off them back onto a platform can sometimes be really frustrating because of the constant fall rate.

Operations : KIA by zyapimstudios 2020-04-21T10:06:45Z

The gameplay is simple but fun, I liked the character and zombie art and the changing sprites as they take damage was a nice touch. The level backgrounds were pretty repetitive and boring, some environment variation would make this so much better. Having 1-2 other types of enemies (maybe one that can charge at you or explode on death etc.) would make it fun to play for longer. Also a sound effect or animation or some kind of timer indication for reloading the gun would make a big difference in polish. The enemy AI is pretty easy to exploit by shooting from outside their aggro range, making them aggro when they get hit would be a good fix for that.

Candy's Dream Egg by CosmicCrystalGames 2020-04-21T12:58:40Z

Really fun puzzle platformer with a cute egg mechanic. I love the whole presentation, look and feel of this game and it feels very polished for a jam game. The levels are also pretty well designed and fun to get through.

Pyromania by Finnhax 2020-04-21T08:10:56Z

A fun core mechanic and I like that it gets more tense over time with the music matching that feeling, the building progression was a nice touch and the graphics worked well for this kind of game. The difficulty ramps up a bit too quickly I think and the mouse controls don't feel really precise enough, it feels kind of like you're skating around on ice.

Long Live The King by JavaSaurus 2020-04-22T13:54:38Z

A really fun game but I wish there were more defensive options like dodging/blocking, seems like you just have to get hit and keep catching the baby which sometimes gets a bit awkward and makes it hard to kill the enemies. Good job on the graphics and audio, they work pretty well for this game.

Delicious Letters by ZakAmana 2020-04-21T08:42:29Z

I love the art style, sound, music, concept and it was all executed/polished really well. I just wish there were more clues about what effect your choices might have like maybe a short bio for each person or something.

Beelieve In Yourself by TheInkSkeleton 2020-04-21T09:28:31Z

The idea is good and it's kinda fun but the graphics are a bit too blurry which makes it hard to know what things are sometimes and the controls are a bit slow and feel laggy. I think with more clear graphics (doesn't need to be super high quality just less blurry) and faster/more responsive controls it would improve the game a lot.

Prophet by marcell-balog 2020-04-21T12:19:25Z

A really fun game but I'm not a fan of the controls, I think just walking up to items should pick them up, picking things up at the moment can be pretty clunky. It also seems hard to get enough batteries to keep going. I really love the robot and upgrade system and the graphics work really well.

Slime Mama by Jack Kaloger 2020-04-21T09:38:57Z

Great graphics, fun core mechanics and easy to pick up quickly. I think it would help the movement a bit if you could stick or slide slowly down walls, would make the platforming in certain places a bit more forgiving. I like the small details like the slime trails you leave behind and the slowly growing slime mama as she absorbs the food.

The Last Cactus by HomunculusGames 2020-04-21T08:51:30Z

Great graphics and sound, the gameplay is pretty smooth, fun and works well. You did some great extra touches like the fade in and out on spawn/death, the overall aesthetic was well put together down to the choice of fonts and the game is pretty well polished overall. I think the second air jump being a bit higher would make movement a bit easier and smoother.

Cheat Or Die by Kanonix 2020-04-21T08:28:07Z

I love the artwork, the sound worked quite well. The gameplay was easy to understand and worked really well, it was also challenging enough to be interesting. I also just really like the story/humour/characters.

Revenge of the Woods by Robonaut121 2020-04-21T08:04:30Z

Very simple and quite hard to win but I thought it was fun and I liked the physics on the projectiles and being able to roll them into enemies etc. It would have made it a lot better if you added a couple more things to do both inside and outside a tree, the gameplay is a bit too straight forward.

Beat Savior by HKSpadez 2020-04-21T10:18:09Z

Awesome idea, well polished graphics and mechanics and everything works really well. It's pretty hard but that's not a bad thing, a lot of room to get better at playing it. I think you should change colour\light up the next closest block on the beat, that would make it feel a lot better.

Lively Inn by Svetoslav Godzhev 2020-04-21T12:32:26Z

Really fun and cute game, decent graphics that work well for this game, fun mechanics and it can get pretty difficult. The main thing that would make this better is just more types of customers/things to serve.

Life Aber Die by cometoverdrive 2020-04-24T15:23:58Z

A fun game that fits the theme well with cute graphics and good sound effects. I feel like the bouncing height of the food seems to go pretty high which for me made it hard to aim but I might just suck at the game.

Rainy Day by Mat_Mox 2020-04-21T09:56:52Z

Cute game with nice graphics and fun gameplay, the main thing I didn't like was the control scheme (not a fan of arrow keys + mouse). Overall a great entry.

Earth 2.0 by AryanJumani 2020-04-21T08:15:26Z

It's fun but the asteroids sometimes popped in right in front of me and I just died with no way to dodge them, I also feel like the left/right movement is a bit too slow and clunky. I think with more responsive movement it would make it feel more like a fun reflex based game and would give you more freedom to make the ship fly faster too. I also didn't like the background ambient sound, for some reason it was just kinda grating.

Looking for Group by pandepic 2020-04-21T13:10:13Z

@deimort thanks for the feedback, I agree the visual cues could be better, we were rushing to add things like that at the end and just ran out of time

@simex thanks for playing our game, your feedback definitely makes sense and it might have been good to highlight which character the player is at the beginning somehow

Looking for Group by pandepic 2020-04-22T11:32:44Z

@erebus thanks for the helpful feedback =)

Looking for Group by pandepic 2020-04-22T13:44:44Z

@javasaurus thanks for the feedback, I agree health bars would have made the UI more clear.

Floccy Land by MikyDev 2020-04-21T09:01:00Z

Just letting you know I think when you use 3rd party graphics you should turn off the rating for graphics. Otherwise it's fun but a little clunky when it comes to tile collisions and getting stuck on things, I think if the collisions were more precise it would make the feel a lot better.

RuneBeat by nyxkn 2020-04-21T12:38:10Z

A pretty fun game but the graphics could use more polish (colour coding the different types of runes and having a better animation for when you hit them successfully). The notes should also line up better with the music, it kinda throws you off at the moment.

Tusk Til Dawn by BlaiseRascal 2020-04-21T12:53:35Z

A simple but fun tower defence game with cute graphics, needs more tower variety/mechanics though as it gets kinda repetitive.

LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Block Runner 2049 by LandoSystems 2020-10-06T00:05:05Z

Pretty cool tetris game with a fun retro theme.

Ludum War by oillen 2020-10-07T22:20:34Z

A good start to an RTS but I wish there were a few more units/buildings, also the AI doesn't really do much which takes a lot away from the gameplay.

Ghost in the LOOP by sankacoffee51 2020-10-06T00:02:25Z

After a couple of rounds the enemies and bones just stopped spawning so I couldn't really keep playing.

AUTOLOOP by Kpedatte 2020-10-07T22:12:08Z

I love the fact that you're running around in an actual giant loop, I also liked the graphics and thought the gameplay was a lot of fun but the random really high pitched sounds in the sound effects and music were a bit much for me, I liked the rest of the audio when those really high pitched sounds weren't happening.

Space Wrangler by AmbaDev 2020-10-05T23:57:22Z

Really cute art and nice music to go with it, also a nice relaxing game in general.

Justin Time by pandepic 2020-10-05T22:17:29Z

@kszaku I think that might be a localisation/local PC language setting issue with decimal points vs commas, a workaround for it is going into Assets/settings.xml and changing the value in there manually to anything between 0 and 1. You might need to change it from a decimal value to a comma as well if that also doesn't work.

Justin Time by pandepic 2020-10-05T22:29:07Z

@kszaku I just pushed a new version that in theory should fix the issue.

Crows of Wraeth by Roikku 2020-10-07T22:13:17Z

I like the art a lot but the gameplay feels a bit clunky, I think being able to turn without moving would make that easier, also the keyboard controls for movement feel unnatural so I ended up clicking the arrows with the mouse instead. Still a very good entry though.

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Matt's Marvelous Mining Mission by mmason 2021-04-27T02:22:47Z

Fun mechanics and nice graphics but it's a bit confusing what you should be doing at first.

Depth-First Search by lpghatguy 2021-04-27T03:07:58Z

This was a lot of fun to play, my only problem with it was just not having hit indicators on some things like the alien eggs which makes it hard to know if your shots are doing anything. Nice graphics but the audio was really repetitive.

The Void by AMastryukov 2021-04-27T02:38:37Z

Great entry, a lot of nice little details with the gravity, physics and interactions. Nice voice acting and an immersive story. Great graphics and the audio fitted everything well.

Mandahlia by MicroChasm 2021-04-27T04:35:25Z

Beautiful game, just a shame it only has one kinda short level, I would have loved to keep playing.

Bell Dive by Leginar 2021-04-27T13:20:00Z

An under water platformer was a cool idea, nice job =)

One Missed Message by Apos 2021-04-27T02:30:37Z

@pandalk do you get a log.txt in the folder with an error message that might help?

Age of Dwarves by DangerBlack 2021-04-27T01:50:20Z

An impressive amount of content for such a short amount of time, nice graphics and audio and a fun game, the only downside is the kind of clunky UI/dwarf controls.

Deep Dungeon Tactics by Aditya Kumar 2021-04-27T02:23:46Z

A really cool idea and it looks like an impressive amount of work went into it but it's just insanely too hard. My characters just died within a few turns on every map.

Corla by JUSTCAMH 2021-04-27T04:00:59Z

Really easy to understand and the core gameplay is a lot of fun. I like the idea of falling through to the next level, the enemy movement varieties were nice and the powerups made progressing fun. Nice art style too.

Dungeon Divers by Koolruz 2021-04-27T03:20:11Z

Simple but a lot of fun, I like the semi realtime semi turn based combat, you get a bit of strategy but also some nice tension. A bit lacking in audio but the graphics were nice.

Red Archer by BadPiggy 2021-04-27T01:35:08Z

This game was super fun, trying to stay in the air the whole time makes it better but the seemingly infinite slow mo makes it a bit too easy if you use it too much. It should have a short time limit and a cooldown I think.

Hellevator by baconn00 2021-04-27T03:46:38Z

Really nice well polished game, I like the details like the blood effects, the audio cues for the enemies etc. Great graphics and audio too.

Surrender the Core - A Roguelike by Sirfist19 2021-04-27T02:45:54Z

I liked the grapple mechanic. Also nice sprites and colours, the enemies seem a bit buggy though and you can't shoot them once they get too close to you.

Rainbow Fall by Vitor Barbosa 2021-04-27T02:41:05Z

This was nicely polished and a lot of fun, nice graphics, music and sound effects.

Wasp Digging Hive Builder by TheWhiteRice 2021-04-27T02:54:14Z

A cool idea but it really lacked content, you run out of things to do very quickly and nursing eggs honestly just takes way too long.
