LD39 — Running out of Power

RUN! Before the power runs out! by zenmumbler 2017-08-07T22:01:35Z

Pretty impressive for a few hours on a Monday! I made it first try!

Testing out blog feature.

Soporific: A Bedtime Story by paracatgames 2017-08-02T04:43:07Z

@repusv - Our take on the theme is that you're running out of energy (power) while trying to put your child to sleep.

@amras0000 - Thanks so much! @karlyn-meyer is our main writer so I'll let her respond about her process!

For those that mentioned audio (@repusv and @kapricorn-media)—the recordings of G. weren't intended to be full voice acting; it's more like G. riffs off the ideas. So they may not match 100% but the content should be basically the same. If you found bugs that aren't explained by that, please let us know specifics!

Thanks everyone for the comments and ratings! I'm working on playing your games and commenting back right now!

A Thirst For Power by bobsleigh 2017-08-07T22:35:05Z

Great job with this! Very fun and very impressive in Python!

Unadexus by smbe19 2017-08-07T21:57:35Z

So much going on for a compo game! What an achievement. :)

Great idea! The conversation system was simple but made a lot of sense.

Towers of Power by terryg 2017-08-07T22:05:12Z

Pretty clever take on the running out of power theme! I'll never look at windmills the same way again. :)

This game was incredible! I really liked the graphics, especially the effect when shooting your guns.

Last Question by amras0000 2017-08-03T00:43:40Z

This game feels like it has a lot of depth! I liked the scratchy graphics and the text commands.

The World's Worst Segway by doomshmuck 2017-08-07T22:17:42Z

I really liked how the recharge mechanic was clear and simple. Of all the LD39 games I've played I think it was the easiest to understand, and it kept me playing longer. Well done!

Everust by boaheck-artgent 2017-08-01T20:54:50Z

I really liked the aesthetics and atmosphere. Great job!

Last Bot Standing: Game of the Year Edition by Shaolin Dave 2017-08-07T22:20:55Z

I think this was the first LD39 game to have another unit/character run out of power instead of the player. Pretty interesting twist on the theme! Also, I really dug the graphics and controls.

No Sorcerer's Sky by TheFlyingKeyboard 2017-08-03T01:18:35Z

I really liked the concept but I had a hard time mining the scrap needed for the first hangar. I liked the colors and the comic when I died.

Short Lived by Matt Fabius 2017-08-07T22:13:19Z

A pretty simple platformer. I found the blue fire tiles to be a little frustrating to navigate, but I think that was by design. Very challenging once I got a few levels in!

Lantern by Kaban 2017-08-01T19:35:21Z

I really dig the aesthetic! Simple but fun and complete!

Temple of Illumination by Johngun 2017-08-07T22:38:48Z

Very polished game for a LD entry! I really liked the Meat Boy-like physics. :)

Rats will kiss the gunner's daughter by Mr.Houdini 2017-08-03T01:59:52Z

This was a great game! I liked the aesthetics (pixels in Unity—we've all been there) and I liked the procedurally-generated characters. I never caught the mutineer though!

After the Crash by Nalozyc Shade 2017-08-07T22:30:19Z

Very interesting blend between storytelling and gameplay! And you really went for gut-wrenching with that sad storyline!

Saito's Transgression by Kapricorn Media 2017-08-03T00:58:57Z

This was amazing! Thanks for making a great game!

Lost Soul by daviddiagonza 2017-08-03T01:35:57Z

I had fun! I had to play until I found my body. I liked the aesthetic a lot as well.

CowPow! by Quemagalletas 2017-08-03T01:11:40Z

Very funny concept! Really good work. I could not keep the cows in the beams either, but otherwise a good time. :)

Shadow Crawl by Connor Hagan 2017-08-03T01:06:38Z

I really dug your game! Fun and addictive.

TITAN, Defend Earth before it's too late by MichaelTWG 2017-08-07T21:55:14Z

Very cool! I really dig the aesthetic style.

Tibet Quest by hawke 2017-08-03T01:26:19Z

I really dig this art style, and I liked the idea of choosing between casting spells and having life. I liked the idea of blocking in combat but I found myself hammering attack most of the time—which was also fun!
