LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Gobbey wants to eat by bradur 2022-04-08T16:23:43Z

Cute and nice music, but I don't understand well what I have to do and what is the target.

Light Souls by rasblo 2022-04-05T15:04:01Z

I like the "join" mechanic, very original. The graphics are good and the controls are nice and response. Good job!

Caring Hero by Solah 2022-04-08T16:02:17Z

Nice game!

Good idea, good application of the theme and funny to play.

Maybe some more visual feedback when you are healing the boss would be nice. Also, hitting enemies is hard sometimes. But for a 48 hours development is pretty good!

By the way, the best of the game is... the OST xD

MacBooler by kromeboy 2022-04-08T16:36:35Z

Well... not much to say! Great game and very fun to play.

Maybe a little guided tutorial stage where you have to solve some two/three column LEDs would be nice, so you let non-developers understand what to do.

Snowmageddon by PurpledArtFrog 2022-04-08T16:46:20Z

For some reason when I start playing (web version) all the snowmen explode and I lost :( I don't understand very well what to do.

Stanley's Last Stand by Ratrat44 2022-04-04T15:52:21Z

It's funny, but really difficult to play because the physics gets crazy! I love the idea and with more time and polishing it could be great.

Outside the Town of Malbork by kemp 2022-04-08T17:00:59Z

The art and the mood is pretty good.

All grown up? by Helen 2022-04-08T16:27:41Z

I like the art and congratulations in your first compo!

I would polish some areas related with the order of drawing of elements (sometimes the door draws in front of the character), and also the UI to do actions with objects.

The Greedy Pirates by Rolly 2022-04-04T15:57:48Z

Great game! The idea is quite original and funny to play. I cannot find any con to this game. Congratulations!

I get the following error:

The Death Pit Will Have You! by Uraffululz 2022-04-05T16:36:53Z

Good idea and good implementation. Maybe it would be nice if the panels didn't go directly to holes, or maybe that was intended. Also, the falling animation should be a bit more clear.

The Average Quest by MelekTaus 2022-04-05T16:41:30Z

Good game and good art!

Never High Noon by Jibberwocky 2022-04-04T15:45:04Z

Great art! The game is funny and matches the theme. Maybe the mouse moves too fast and sometimes is hard to target the clocks. Shooting the sun was a good point.

Keep It Warm by Fifut 2022-04-08T16:57:55Z

I love the Atari art style. The idea is good. Easy and funny to play.

It was stressful to keep the baby quiet, so 5/5 in simulation.

Little Planet by yulotomorrow 2022-04-14T14:15:12Z

Nice art! I like the The Little Prince vibes. The audio is awesome. Good and funny introduction to the story.

Good job!

One Fuse by the neon shark 2022-04-05T16:53:19Z

Nice idea and concept!

Don't Let the Bookbugs Bite! by DamonWakes 2022-04-04T15:59:03Z

Links are missing :(

Venting Machine by EmberUshi 2022-04-06T11:46:14Z

I love the art, although I didn't understand well what to do to get better score.

Serious Royal Business by Pitxardo 2022-04-07T15:10:58Z

Hi everyone!

Thank you for your reviews and feedback! Very appreciated and useful.

This idea was hard to develop because the scope was getting bigger and bigger so I needed to make many cuts at some point or I couldn't deliver the game on time :-)

But, as @jibberwocky and @tiny-pig pointed, there is a big gameplay design error: you cannot choose who to kill. So, sometimes gets very fustrating to see characters with bad vibe fume getting close to kill you and you can't do anything.

Another mistake is not to mention that each character has a different personality or make it clear with some icons or stats in screen. As I noticed, this confused most of you (@rolly, @lesinvisible and @ubershmekel), so this is clearly a faulty design >_< I added the warm/rude welcome event, which is always the same for every character on their first time, with the intention to let you know what type of personality you were facing with the new character. But, it didn't work :-D

About the game always playing out in the king dying, as @d00kl1 mentioned, well... that's the inevitable but delayable destiny of the king ;-D

Now, I'm wondering if this could be a nice full game if I fix all the design issues, add much more events, more prodecural stuff, and more kingdom management, and of course, much more polishing! Or maybe I'm getting too attached to this idea...

Suppress The Press by Frostbiiten 2022-04-08T16:52:54Z

Solid game here!

Good art, good audio, good gameplay, good idea, smooth and juice!

It has everything! Good job!

Bacterial Protection by Tiny Pig 2022-04-04T15:48:16Z

Good idea. The instructions are hard to remember, maybe some extra info during game would be nice. I found a bug with the audio in the game over screen.

Hydropy by lantto 2022-04-05T12:58:15Z

Nice game! I like the idea, although it would be nice to add a tutorial or some explanation about what to do.
