LD49 — Unstable

Horse-d'oeuvre by drtizzle 2021-10-03T23:32:56Z

incredible. magnificent. i can't stop laughing

Ornztarbil by magnusfurcifer 2021-10-04T02:39:55Z

my camera kept moving to the left, unfortunately; i think it would have been fun but that made it very difficult to play

Horse with a Human Mask on A Tightrope by jefvel 2021-10-04T01:50:47Z

fun, funny, nice graphics. good work :) i don't think it is possible to crouch with a touchpad though

Astral Collapse by Richard Baron 2021-10-04T00:49:31Z

pretty fun! i didn't read the controls at first and instantly hurled myself into the sun, so this gets extra resulting points for humor

QWOPcrate by dooleus 2021-10-04T00:23:15Z

i didn't get very far but it was funny to watch the legs shake

Just a steelyard by gogu 2021-10-04T01:54:36Z

my first instinct was to try to break it. i failed. that aside, pretty graphics

Bitrunner by TimeLoad 2021-10-04T01:55:24Z

your link leads to a 404!

Stack Up by Barney25052 2021-10-04T01:04:05Z

i really really love the graphics

Giant Horse Deathball by fakefirefly 2021-10-03T23:52:04Z

really fun concept but i think the horse is a bit too fragile. i like the lack of control

Giant Horse Deathball by fakefirefly 2021-10-04T16:39:21Z

i mean the latter @fakefirefly, but fair enough

Unhitched Isles by MickM 2021-10-04T02:30:37Z

pretty fun game! i don't love the look though; i think this is mostly the font

gone. by wafflecomposite 2021-10-04T01:30:10Z

favorite game so far. genius. not sure what else to say

Choppy Rescue by Guisado 2021-10-04T00:00:47Z

i didn't pay much attention to the actual goal but flying a helicopter around is fun

Download more ram (100% Legit) by NoelOskar 2021-10-04T01:19:50Z

i genuinely wouldn't put it past windows xp to have viruses that float around your screen menacingly

Unstable by DevParty 2021-10-04T00:57:40Z

interesting how if a block falls you have no way to know or influence whether you will lose. not bad

Cool by KewDev 2021-10-04T16:37:58Z

i got 1172 points! granted i did this by getting the log on its side and simply standing there. i assume that was not intentional

(good game though! fun, polished)

Unshippable by MikoziQ 2021-10-04T02:02:34Z

very pretty, but i was rarely able to get the crane to grab anything. was the difficulty intentional?

Unstabtower by Spacespytv 2021-10-03T23:47:07Z

i really love the graphical style, except for the choice of font

Stable Inc. by CorbenG 2021-10-04T01:40:30Z

i love this game, and i hope it's fleshed out in the future. if so, i think it'd be even better with time limits a la ktane and maybe even procgen rules+manuals. like others have said, very polished (although the font not being pixelated feels a bit weird)

Pills by shellofagirl 2021-10-04T02:05:00Z

pills

Unstable Dimension by Katanoueki 2021-10-04T02:18:03Z

i like it! i think the graphics would be (much more) beautiful if polished a little bit. if you want more ratings you may want to rate other games yourself; that way your game will be more visible

Sagittarius A* Defence by Jellybean 2021-10-04T00:43:51Z

no need to thank me

The Worm by Debone 2021-10-04T00:09:55Z

the movement is a bit confusing, but i like the concept

@z0rly, thank you for trying out my game!

When you unzip the file, is a pyproject.toml not one of the extracted files? If it is, what directory are you running the commands from?

I'm not running Windows, so I don't know how much I can help you

ecosystem except there is no equilibrium and everyone dies probably by parafactual 2021-10-04T00:03:16Z

@z0rly, that's strange... if you use `poetry run` then Poetry is supposed to run in its own venv, I think.

If you want to manually install the dependencies with pip, you should just need blessings, lark, numpy and rich.

yay! glad you enjoy it @jellybean; i was playing dwarf fortress recently so it might have been inspiration on some level :)

ecosystem except there is no equilibrium and everyone dies probably by parafactual 2021-10-04T01:13:11Z

lmfao, i know right

ecosystem except there is no equilibrium and everyone dies probably by parafactual 2021-10-04T01:20:55Z

yeah, i added the controls/examples last-minute so i also left out a good few features. thanks for playing @retrisma!

ecosystem except there is no equilibrium and everyone dies probably by parafactual 2021-10-04T04:47:58Z

thanks so much for the feedback @ixchow! you mentioned quite a few things i wanted to do but didn't have time for (speed limits kept coming up... `move find dead -> eat` is too easy); maybe i'll flesh out the game post-ludum dare

i especially really wanted to generate random programs. the tournament idea is very good

ecosystem except there is no equilibrium and everyone dies probably by parafactual 2021-10-04T15:48:15Z

@r3l0ad1 that's strange...it even works for me in a private window. you may want to run it yourself or, i don't know, clear your cookies in case you altered replit state

ecosystem except there is no equilibrium and everyone dies probably by parafactual 2021-10-04T15:58:35Z

@r3l0ad1 try `pip install windows-curses` if you're running windows

ecosystem except there is no equilibrium and everyone dies probably by parafactual 2021-10-04T16:07:41Z

yeah, i agree @r3l0ad1, i'd just run out of time. i'm not sure pyinstaller would allow fcntl to run though

ecosystem except there is no equilibrium and everyone dies probably by parafactual 2021-10-04T16:27:50Z

lmao @mikoziq you're probably not alone in being unable to properly play it

i almost went with haskell or rust but decided against it

ty!

ecosystem except there is no equilibrium and everyone dies probably by parafactual 2021-10-05T18:48:00Z

thank you @fakefirefly :); and indeed, overusing dup will probably hurt you more than it helps
