LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

CTRL FRK by slovnoslomo 2017-12-05T22:18:48Z

Amazing concept!

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

Volcano Royale XTREME by Morg 2018-12-04T11:53:33Z

Dynamic game with cool effects, great work!

Blob !!! by funnbot 2018-12-04T02:55:59Z

@walterp Hi! The one on itch.io?

Blob !!! by funnbot 2018-12-04T02:57:27Z

@walterp Thank you so much! I didn't notice that the game wasn't public!

Blob !!! by funnbot 2018-12-04T02:59:56Z

@arielle-stroman Thank you, I have fixed the link, could you please try again?

Blob !!! by funnbot 2018-12-04T03:00:32Z

@loadsofmana Thanks, could you please try again?

Blob !!! by funnbot 2018-12-04T03:12:41Z

@arielle-stroman thank you! I have played your entry as well, it's fun as hell! Love the concept :)

Blob !!! by funnbot 2018-12-04T03:16:29Z

@loadsofmana Thanks! Props to our artist and sound designer :) True, the area is lacking, everyone had school and work on Monday, I have tried to finish as much as I could in time, lessons learned, next LD - with upgraded skills.

Blob !!! by funnbot 2018-12-04T03:27:29Z

@muzzz29 Thanks :) I have thought about that, at first I wanted to have that UI at the bottom of the screen, but we all voted on World Space related dialogue, mistakes learned. I should have somehow calculated the right position for that dialogue, I thought that canvas scaling would fix it. Lesson - remember to test on different resolutions. Thanks for the feedback!

Blob !!! by funnbot 2018-12-04T03:27:55Z

@twenty5clocks Thank you!

Blob !!! by funnbot 2018-12-04T10:12:24Z

@hukee haha, yeah, I probably should have tested this case, I thought this was impossible to reach :) Thanks!

@spigaru Thank you!

@olavdeng2 Sorry to hear that, controls are indeed a bit clunky, we used rigidbody - not character controller, thus hills may be a challenge to climb. Thanks for playing and feedback is appreciated :v: !

Meat Spike by Muzzz29 2018-12-04T03:41:04Z

Great execution, one little thing that could be improved is the speed of progression. Maybe, more checkpoints, or faster moving character would do the trick. Overall awesome!

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Alcheminer by Joror 2021-04-30T00:23:15Z

This could be a great strategic game. General pace of the game could be a bit faster, I found myself waiting for too long without any action and there is nothing to keep me interested during that time. Overall really great game!

Monkey Quest by paulloz 2021-04-29T23:33:38Z

Really good and well polished, you should release it at least as a mobile game!

Dome Romantik by Rongo Matane 2021-05-04T00:24:08Z

Extremely fun! :) I love that you can choose upgrades paths, first time playing is very interesting because we can't see the branches of upgrade tree. image_2021-05-04_032356.png

Dhromur by Pixel Lifetime 2021-04-27T02:07:25Z

@dylan-morrow thank you, the characters weren't made by us, so we have opted out of Art category. I didn't have enough time to add any kind of tutorial :( But the gameplay is similar to the very popular game called HOMM3 (Heroes Of Might And Magic 3). I have tried to explain the goal of the game at the start pop up, hopefully it will help people to get started.

Dhromur by Pixel Lifetime 2021-04-27T02:24:09Z

@khelian Thank you! It's totally true, too ambitious, but I always learn a lot from this kind of projects, so I don't regret it :)

Hopefully one day I will be able to finish at least one polished big game for a game jam, ahah :)

Dhromur by Pixel Lifetime 2021-04-27T19:05:32Z

@lesha-lozhkin from the nickname can I assume you understand Russian or Ukrainian? I have given a short explanation in English, but I can translate the same one into one of these languages.

Dhromur by Pixel Lifetime 2021-04-27T19:20:07Z

@lesha-lozhkin I have added Ukrainian and Russian translations to the text, hopefully they will help you, thank you for playing! :)

Dhromur by Pixel Lifetime 2021-04-27T19:24:48Z

@xpoho Спасибо, мы планируем продолжыть работу над игрой, но значительный прогрес потребует времени. Сейчас не могу работать больше 2-х дней в неделю, но думаю етого будет достаточно на первое время. Постараюсь "выкатить" новый апдейт через месяц. У нас пока нету соц сетей, но если вы с редита, то мы будем кидать туда апдейт если будет что-то новое. Пока что расцениваем ето как проект для портфолио, но в будущем может и будет что-то посерьезней.

Dhromur by Pixel Lifetime 2021-04-28T08:22:51Z

@teshimoto Спасибо :) У меня не хватало времени, слишком много уделил времени на интерфейс и арт, но нужно было хоть что-то для сражений. И самый легкий для написания способ битвы был просто искать противника котрый очень близко после хода, вот и решыл что для Ludum Dare етого будет достаточно что б успеть сделать хоть какой-то геймплей.

Dhromur by Pixel Lifetime 2021-04-28T20:27:12Z

@sleepqt Thank you!

Dhromur by Pixel Lifetime 2021-04-29T07:21:46Z

@oc1d Thank you for the feedback, helps a lot! Having AI should have been a priority for sure and I should have focused on battle more first.

Dhromur by Pixel Lifetime 2021-04-30T13:32:56Z

@blob Thank you!

Dhromur by Pixel Lifetime 2021-04-30T13:33:31Z

@aeveis Thank you! I hope when AI will be added there will be no problem with determining which unit moves.

Dhromur by Pixel Lifetime 2021-04-30T13:40:19Z

@bungalow Thank you! We have opted out of Art because it was pre-made and we haven't done it ourselves, but true, it looks really good, it's on Assetstore currently on a 50% sale.

Thanks, your words mean a lot :)

Dhromur by Pixel Lifetime 2021-05-01T10:00:28Z

@markveligod Thank you :)

@someone That is awesome! I hadn't had a chance to test Linux, I am using Windows because you know - Unity and other gamedev stuff. So I have tried to build for Linux and expected it to work the same way as for Windows. I should have tested it on my laptop, but probably wouldn't be able to fix much since grid is drawn using a plugin.

Thank you for playing :)

Dhromur by Pixel Lifetime 2021-05-02T20:43:59Z

@jormarysky Thank you! Rating theme low is rather because I haven't finished the feature that would show it and initially I didn't care that much about theme as about the actual game mechanics to implement. I would put 1-1.5 on ours entry for the Theme according to my rating system, so I believe it's fair to tell people that it is fine since we can't opt out of the Theme category.

Dhromur by Pixel Lifetime 2021-05-02T20:51:12Z

@ismael-rodriguez Thank you very much for the feedback, we appreciate it!

You are right, the game is indeed complex and hard to explain if we consider all of the features and initially original game didn't have any tutorial either, not saying that it's a good thing.

This game genre requires overworld and battle screen, without it - it wouldn't be the same, at least for me. But it definitely would have been a good idea to focus on 1 of those mechanics to get the gameplay right first, for the jam.

Music was written by - Waltson Tanaka, I was lucky to find such a great sound designer :)

Below the Ocean by Ismael Rodriguez 2021-04-30T00:04:53Z

Great mechanics, very creative! Got the queen's pearl :)

Bunny Bunny Dig Dig by ZakAmana 2021-04-30T00:24:45Z

I bet everything has been said before :) What can I say, great execution!

Going Down in Fishstory by Jonas Tyroller 2021-04-29T23:40:56Z

Not going to lie, voice over was the best thing out of already great game :)

245 :) Wanted to be in top 5 so bad :)

Underneath by HumanIsRed 2021-04-29T20:57:41Z

Brilliant execution.

I couldn't complete full metal level, though, I haven't tried like too many times, probably 8.

• I wish window was bigger, at least covered in black in the background because sometimes I would click off the window and die.

• I forgot to use right mouse button after 1 level, it needs more levels where it is impossible to win them without it, right after it is introduced.

• It has elements that show "deeper and deeper", it doesn't necessary should be in the down direction I understand, it fits the theme, but gameplay isn't built around it, though, in my game I totally didn't care about a theme, just giving feedback in case you were.

• Graphics are awesome.

• I like the ability to slide on walls.

• Moving background makes it feel much more alive and interesting.

• Nice that you have chromatic on right mouse button.

• I wanted to travel to another level faster, kind of like speed running.

• Ability to pause should be offscreen just in case anyone clicks on it accidentally.

Got stuck :) But really good! Great job!

Castle Beat by Pixel Lifetime 2018-05-11T14:51:41Z

@Joror Thanks, you actually play as monsters :) It doesn't have too much of description of what is going on or the win/lose screen :(

Castle Beat by Pixel Lifetime 2018-05-17T11:24:42Z

Thanks for feedback everyone!
