LD54 — Limited Space

LIGHTDANCER by xk_the_name 2023-10-07T17:25:52Z

Great work, the atmosphere is really well done, good pacing and art!

Cranedemonium by kuggenhoffen 2023-10-07T10:26:42Z

Fun game, loved the graphics. Physics were fun as well! Sometimes the stretchy ropes flip out though, making it uncontrollable. One thing that almost caused me to not play the game: after clicking Start (which worked), I couldn't click on the levels, and thought the game had frozen, had to force quit and try again. After some trial and error I found out you had to use the arrow keys to navigate the level menu.

Seagull Island | L'île aux Goélands by Seb_degraff 2023-10-07T11:46:22Z

Really cozy, love the relaxing atmosphere. Great art, sound and music. One improvement could be to have the blocks snap to the center of the cursor when dragging them, so the grid snapping is consistent when moving over the buildings to add the piece. I found that if I started dragging while clicking on a corner of the piece, the snappning felt off and inconsistent. Really lovely game!

Tables 95 by Steven Garberg 2023-10-07T09:22:54Z

Nice simple game! Love the Unity reference. Spawning of the copies could use a little randomization in timing, so the spawning sound gets a little more organic, less of a constant pulse.

TEMPLE IS ACID (feat. Bees 🐝) by samboyer276 2023-10-04T20:45:27Z

Fun game! After 3 levels the constant pulsing of the screen was too much for me, so I stopped playing. Overall cool concept!

Flicker of Lumina by Nash 2023-10-04T19:55:25Z

Loved it! Great concept and mood. An improvement could be to have a little pause or invulnerability window after you picked an upgrade and the game continues, as I often took damage right after, not being back in focus quick enough. Awesome work!

Introvertigo by Scott Steffes 2023-10-07T09:15:52Z

What an awesome game. The graphics and colors are incredible. And also the music! It captures the uncomfortable tension perfectly, great job.

Floodwater by John Gabriel 2023-10-08T10:41:30Z

Loved it! The mechanics, and also the music

If I Fits, I Sits! by cheesepencil 2023-10-07T11:53:38Z

Loved it! Cute and simple, well executed.

Though I Walk by AdamCYounis 2023-10-07T11:15:25Z

Wow, great concept, art and animation! Loved the perspective take. Reminds of something I'd do as a kid: closing one eye, and trying to make objects close and far away touch and interact with eachother by moving my head. Haven't seen a game before doing exactly this!

Conveyor Chaos by wheelsx 2023-10-05T08:51:04Z

Great concept! I found playing with the timing between being able to hit an enemy while not giving them a chance to hit you really fun.

Space Way by MrSamafu 2023-10-07T10:02:51Z

Had fun playing this! Took a while to figure out you must click on tile 1 to start the first level. On level 13 I couldn't acces the red tile despite all other tiles being lit. The music fits the relaxed gameplay very well!

The King is Watching by Tvorojok 2023-10-04T20:37:51Z

Got me hooked really quick, awesome game! When I saw the boss approaching I really hoped for an epic attack sound when swinging its weapon, but didn't hear any, so that could be an improvement! Lovely art and style

Re: Charge by polyforma42 2023-10-07T15:42:56Z

Awesome game, very strong atmosphere. I really liked the fluid animation and rotating arms of the character combined with the pixel art

Prickle by Kultuk 2023-10-07T10:43:45Z

Awesome game, love the simplicity, nice graphics. Also great music, especially the victory tune when arriving at home, very cute.

Space, Yarr! by SnekOfSpice 2023-10-07T09:49:39Z

Great game! Nice figuring out wat the best way is to get the canon ball to the other side. Trying to move the sliders on placed structures was a bit of hit&miss sometimes. A nice add could be to have something funny happening when you accidentily hit your own ship! Love that there is some movement in the layers when you move the mouse, nice detail and adds to the space feel.

Toys wars by Flashlight13 2023-10-07T09:35:04Z

Cool concept and graphics! I didn't really understand how to deal damage or collect plastic, so that could maybe be explained a little better. And also a single player option playing against the computer would be nice! Some visual cursor affordance could help understand what actions can be performed. The shrinking map makes it interesting!

Nice Park! by Barbabulle 2023-10-04T19:43:56Z

Really fun game! Love the overall mood, and the little details like birds flying over, and the cars honking when you hit them, as if everyone is sitting in their car at the parking lot hehe. Great work!

Clearing space by Sevansevan 2023-10-07T10:58:51Z

Nice and well designed!

A Tale of Six Rites by graebor 2024-04-20T20:52:49Z

@lisek-gagatek Thank you for your feedback! Does the kick sound like clipping? Or stuttering / glitching of any sort? The synths being pushed away by every kick is meant as a compressor effect, but I don't know if that's what you mean?

Devotion - A fairytale by daandruff 2024-04-19T20:54:03Z

Very nice! Great art, and the minimalistic music is very effective.

Thalatta's Grand Heist by Silas Reinagel 2024-04-27T18:44:44Z

Great atmosphere, voice-overs and puzzles! I liked all the details in the UI and summoning screen, and the mood of the audio. Ran out of time while summoning books to open the door which didn't respond... not clear what went wrong there, so that's a pity. Solid entry overall!

Tristram by Rongo Matane 2024-04-19T20:20:21Z

Lovely game, amazingly detailed and polished. Love the character's wiggly walks.

Sumo-ning by wolderado 2024-04-19T20:42:08Z

Love it, great dynamic feel with the giants in the background and the small people in the foreground. Great camera work as well!

The Klent by sirJupitron 2024-04-20T20:47:35Z

Great vibe, loved the combination of the colors, pixels and smooth hoovering text, great aesthetic. Flying feels fun!

resown by Lushboy Studios 2024-04-17T07:07:55Z

Loved it! Well polished, both visuals and audio. Puzzles we're nice too! Took a while to figure out the mechanic regarding the save points, felt a bit like losing / cheating:) But the concept of it is definitely interesting. Well done!

Hell of a job by boudoubouda 2024-04-17T07:30:52Z

Fun game! It's a nice challenge to figure out the best setting, and the little portraits and notes are really cool.

Throes of the Javelin by MatterLinx 2024-04-17T06:40:12Z

Great game! I love the art, animations and the polish of everything. Also like the different materials (ground, metal), and how the spear reacts to them with matching sfx, really satisfying details.

The Blinding of Isaac by Cymusi 2024-04-20T19:36:24Z

Great concept and puzzle! Loved the unlocking one by one. Good atmosphere

Exorcist Pianist by Aviv Levy 2024-04-19T20:31:54Z

Great moody style! Would be fun to sneak some famous melodies in the number orders as easter eggs. 3464887 for the final demon boss for example.

Dark World by Diadem Games 2024-04-20T20:04:30Z

Cool concept! The black & white feel actually really suits the mood I think. Really enjoyable!

Super Pal Summoner! by Meepster 2024-04-20T20:33:07Z

Really nice! Took a while to get the hang of it, forming the combos, but then I was hooked!

Burger Ritual by meylish 2024-04-19T21:06:39Z

Awesome art and music! Nice and creepy. As others mentioned as well: less clicking would make it even more fun I think. Great job overall.

Cadence Crisis - Ludum Dare 55 by AllDee 2024-04-17T07:22:31Z

Cool game! Sometimes it was a bit difficult to feel which accents in the music were intented rhythmically, so it then became more of guessing than exact hitting. Also the audio cues for hitting and missing could be a bit more prominent. Overall very cool!
