LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

escape from apocalypse by nakato53 2018-12-02T18:59:42Z

Is there a win condition? Or is just reaching the rock on the left side the end?

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Self Golf by SecondDimension 2018-04-23T12:21:36Z

I really liked self golf! Did the an entire 9 holes with a score or -1. :smile: I don't really see the need for the main character to move. Very satisfying sound when you hit yourself. The levels get a bit dull, would like some different colours on the levels. Tint the images differently? THe golf ball looks a bit grumpy, fits the game really good :smiley_cat:

Type.O Racing by SalamiChild 2018-04-25T16:10:04Z

Hmm i see that this game has a lot of potential. After playing 10 or so rounds: boost the start, left turn DEAD. Next turn boost, left, right, boost dead. So i cant really seem to do any progress? I also cant seem to find any use for the repair? While i can still fill it up? :confused:

Headball by Zarkonnen 2018-04-23T12:33:54Z

Fun game, was a bit hard to understand the rules. Also i think my rating is off since i don't have anyone to test it with. Took a while for me to figure out how to score. Fits with the theme.

Matching Towers by sky_fighter 2018-04-23T13:31:04Z

Nailed the theme. Liked the game. New spin on a tower defense. :smile_cat: The game would be a lot better if you could place multiple towers after one another. (ctrl + click?) Would love to see a upgrade feature. I have not idea how that would work in a match type game. Maybe if you got 4 or more in a row you upgraded all towers of that type? I like the simple graphics, but could be improved. :fox:

Textorio by qookiezz 2018-04-25T15:39:15Z

Liked the game, decent resource management. I could not always figure out how much water was going where. Especially on the nuclear reactor. The game does crash after a while. I think its something to do with the ore storage with multiple pipes? Its just a guess.

Plana Gravatatis by Chris_Grassi 2018-04-25T15:45:42Z

Umm is the downloud link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tismzn1ra3mpe2s/ ?

Plana Gravatatis by Chris_Grassi 2018-04-25T15:56:50Z

I really liked your 2D - 3D platformer. I think its a funny way of combining two genres. The gentle pings from picking up locks and coins are really smooth. I can see this game becoming something cool with a little bit more work. Must have bin really hard doing the programming on all the rotations and vectors in 2d and 3d space.

Celauss - An Epic Realtime CCG Space Battle Game by theslate 2018-04-24T11:50:35Z

Space battles! :smile: Strategy space battle? Spawning space battle? It was short and fun :v: I liked the ship models, easy to spawn. Fighting was entertaining to watch. I'm feel that spawning is a bit random, and would love to be able to control where you spawn ships. Would add more strategy to the game. :fox: **Bugg** The music on the combat scene only plays on the right side of my headphones. :confounded:

Peckbuilding by maysick 2018-04-24T16:43:43Z

Wow what a cool card game :smile: I beat all the leaf levels even the black one. The cards are simple to understand, and the rules are easy to understand. I do think its a little random if you win or loose. But you can affect the score by anticipating you enemy. I like the graphics and combat of the game a lot :smile_cat: :fox:

Neon Space by SMILEY_4_ 2018-04-23T13:04:18Z

Like the game :smile: The turn based movement took me some time to understand. I like the retro neon look and feel of the game. The menus are well done. Most people don't bother with a finished menu. I found i wanted to stand still a couple of turns. Is there a skip turn button? I think your game fits the theme really well :smile_cat:

BreakOut Typing by Schuster 2018-04-23T13:10:07Z

Game fits the theme :diamond_shape_with_a_dot_inside: The mechanics need some more work, the player has to little control of the ball. :fox:

Super Word Knight: Searching for Courage by Stamperino 2018-04-25T17:53:07Z

Nice little point and click adventure :smile: I think the game might be a lite to hard on normal? I was struggling on it :sob: Adding and improving this would make a really cool game.

Puzzle Golf by Jiri Hysek 2018-04-25T14:02:39Z

cool, game :smile: Even if I'm not a big fan of puzzles or golf games. I would like the buttons to not be times. Seems like more of a frustration since it adds a cooldown to a game where you have to use precision on aim and power. :fox:

Numbness by Velocity7 2018-04-23T19:18:54Z

:smile_cat: This little game gave me a good smile at the end. The graphics could use some improvement. Story telling and mood was spot on :fox:

Music Shots by Beka Master 2018-04-23T11:33:46Z

Score.png This game was really fun! This review is going to be strange there are a lot of things that are amazing about your game. And SO many things you can do better. Okay lets start with the music (Even if its not your own), the electronic vocal fits the atmosphere and mood of the game. Now the mood in this game is really good. :v: Cave/hallway with neon lights. Yes my friend!

Now i want to be able to change colour of my gun! It is annoying getting the wrong colour and having to shoot one enemy in the back missing it from that distance and breaking my combo. Now i see why i need movement to get a good angle, but nothing can hurt the player. So i can just stand still and shoot everything.

Now i like the score system, but i don't think it fits with the lines the enemies spawn in. The difficulty of the game seems a bit steep in the beginning. When i started to play i was like NOOO don't reach the end! And i kept getting the wrong colour so he reached the end, and nothing happened. :confused:

Special attack needs screen shake :thinking: Need a sound slider in game. (was quite loud on my pc). Combine to incompatible genres, music and shooter its not the most incompatible genres.

**buggs** JUMPING RESTARTS THE GAME. :scream: (Starts the song a new)

Sandbox Solitaire by Marchmain 2018-04-23T11:52:15Z

A nice humors little game. I tryed my best to complete a game :cry: screen.png It was just too messy and the cards where bouncing around to much. Some really nice modeling, liked the calm background music, while i get frustrated over the cards not being properly placed XD Fits this theme perfectly!

Element Crush by vfqd 2018-04-25T20:31:26Z

For players: You can upgrade to level 3. Only done it twice.

I think this is the best game a have played this ludumdare so far. :star2: :stars: Now i have no idea why you have scaled the difficulty so strangely. After the 3 or 4 wave there are just to many enemies on the screen you have to delete them with gold arrow. :sob: The water tower damage is just too low, even at tier 3 it does little damage to enemies. On the 4 wave there is a sound bug? The volume gets really high as the wave spawns? And if you read this dev please keep working on this and post it on sites where people can find it. This game can really become a really good brower game. :fox:

(S)Word Forge by Persijn 2018-04-23T17:31:41Z

@Marchmain :scream: I never got so far that i got to a hyphen. I'll check my text file. Found it "fine-tuned" :scream_cat: thats +6. I'll make a small change to fix this :smile_cat:

(S)Word Forge by Persijn 2018-04-25T13:05:04Z

@CaptainPilot I was not so sure myself, i think its a shop, crafting, management and typing. I don't know if they qualify as genres. :fox:

(S)Word Forge by Persijn 2018-04-25T23:19:04Z

@sndr Could be you complete the game then XD I did not have time to sett an end to the game. In the current build it should never end so i think that's a bug :cry:

(S)Word Forge by Persijn 2018-04-28T18:01:25Z

Thanks for the feedback @Shellfish-games. I noticed that bug myself, during testing. I think i know why that bug happens, but I'll wait until after the results before i work any more on the game.

(S)Word Forge by Persijn 2018-05-01T10:42:42Z

@vfqd missing characters? You found a bug? Tell me more.

LD41 - Let's a go! by Shoj92 2018-04-23T13:16:33Z

Simple fun little game. The music fits the game, the poppy light music with the dodging of the game. 3 levels is a bit short. I really need to see the edges of the playing field. Maybe you could iterate over multiple colours? Rainbow floor? I like the simple minimal menu :v: :fox:

ShmuRTS by bitowl 2018-04-25T16:40:26Z

Cool little shooter. It took me a second to figure out the dragging to go to a new planet. Are supplies infinite and just a free action? And is there a final boss or enemy? I only saw two different types. Would improve the game a lot of enemies could shoot. :fox:

SurviveTheSkies by SindreGamedev 2018-04-25T20:55:07Z

This game give a really good feel of flying. Graphics are beautiful. :paintbrush: I love the camera zoom on boost. :v: But the controls are terrible even with using the space to stop rotation its just impossible to get fly in the fuel depo. :fox:

Overcharged by Cryovr 2018-04-23T10:56:39Z

Wow what a fun game to play! :smile: I really liked the shooting and fighting of the game. The rocket jumping was a bit confusing in the start. I expected it to be jumping when i shot a bullet. Not when it hit the ground. The graphics are simple but really well done, one of the best parts of your game. I really miss some sound effects on the shooting and hitting on enemies. I don't really see the stealth and the theme in the game. :fox:

Card Coded by Pixelhurricane 2018-04-23T20:48:29Z

I like the cute little main character. He looks so happy when he jumps. The mechanics of the game are quite hard to use.

Jet Boy by Harry Light 2018-04-23T12:08:23Z

Fun little shooter. I don't see how there are 2 incompatible genres here? :confused: The screen shake is good, but after a while it gets too much. I cant get past the first enemies after trying 10-20 times. Seems to difficult. The art looks really good, good colour palette :thumbsup: Like the cheerful music :fox:
