LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Splatter Bounce by wiffled 2021-04-29T04:19:12Z

I like the gameplay. the double jump requires a slightly different timing than most I've seen, I like the unique feel. It was fun figuring out more efficient ways to play with the limited instructions, it felt like an accomplishment. And I like the way the enemies create and destroy the color splatters to reveal the platforms in a randomized way. My best score was 146Screenshot (3).png

LD49 — Unstable

Brittle Buildings by J.Broccoli 2021-10-12T00:47:26Z

Really good game, love the concept. One issue I was having was going over budget and collapsing my own building in the setup phase, due to the fact that one of the building pieces is covering the stability.

really great work regardless, I'll keep an eye on any future versions.

LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Walt goes up, must come down by benmcnelly 2022-04-10T06:44:46Z

Nice take on the theme. You did great! Absolutely love the protagonist's design. So cool and cute.

Blockage by Dis0rder 2022-04-06T22:13:33Z

Great use of mostly one asset for all the tunnels, that's a smart time save. I also appreciate that I was able to effortlessly shoot diagonally; good simple controls. Well done.

Eldritch Crossing by _for_science 2022-04-10T21:01:06Z

Really nice job on the graphics. I was impressed that the metal frame of the window had it's own reflections separate from the glass. looks really good. And it's pretty fun too! Great work!

Hymenoptera King by Skleembof 2022-04-06T22:39:02Z

Love the retro graphics and very fitting music. Nice controls, easy to pick up and play. There might be an issue as killing hornets actually end up making your score lower. My highest scores were when I did absolutely nothing, or perhaps im missing something.

Hymenoptera King by Skleembof 2022-04-07T00:29:07Z

@skleembof That makes sense. The features you intended to have would have made this an outstanding little game. All the assets and the whole vibe is so good! You should be proud even if you ran out of time to implement all intended features.

Bomb Threat by Lychee 2022-04-10T06:59:58Z

Very fun to try to get more efficient. I feel I beat the game once I can delay the clock indefinitely. got it up to 120~ seconds and noticed it wasn't getting any harder, I think perhaps slowly increasing difficulty would be good to implement, so eventually failing is more inevitable. Overall, great game. Thanks for the good play!

Sandwich Drop by Renge 2022-04-09T02:53:08Z

Love the humor and variety of levels. nicely done!

Doctor Dilly-Dally by Sine Nomine 2022-04-07T00:20:30Z

@Skleembof Thank you! We certainly strive for originality, so that's great to hear.

I think you're right about it needing more decisions. We did have plans for alternate endings but a little too much work went into the "planning" phase and we ended up cutting out a lot of intended features. We do have some desire to continue this short point-and-click, throwing in at least two endings, and tie up some more jokes as well as expand on some of the outcomes and options. If we make another jam entry in this style I think we will definitely try to work in multiple endings. Thanks for the feedback!

Doctor Dilly-Dally by Sine Nomine 2022-04-10T21:07:45Z

@Matlab So glad to have made you feel something special :')

@huitre I agree, it does need more feedback for the player, if we update it we will add that for sure! Thank you much!

Catastrophe by JKotov 2022-04-09T03:16:20Z

Took me a minute to get the petting down right, but nicely done. funny ending!

LD54 — Limited Space

Align The Sky by CursedEmbassy 2023-10-16T18:04:13Z

That jumpscare really got me! The most fun I've ever had spilling my tea. 10/10

Deformable by Asain 2023-10-16T18:09:16Z

Nice little platformer! I like the rotating platform level. Good work :)

Tiny People Big Adventure by Jahwffrey 2023-10-14T10:49:19Z

Very fun and interesting game! I absolutely adore all the zany characters and humor. Your team worked miracles to create this in the time frame.

Gornzorple Radiant Steel Storm Anomaly by Prismapunch 2023-10-14T10:13:57Z

I personally love how hard it is. After dying in 5 seconds and realizing I would have to start from the beginning I felt like I had been challenged to a near impossible feat. Unfortunately, the way it kicks you back to the menu discouraged me from facing your challenge. I did try a few dozen times but rarely made it past 10 seconds.

I did enjoy the audio. Nice music and SFX, very fitting of the overall vibe. I like the graphics. Everything visual/audio was very cohesive.

I would love to play more of this after some minor updates. I have a few practical recommendations: Make it so when the player loses it's as easy as possible to start up a new game that skips the intro. (like press space/click mouse to restart)

Also a little more friction would be fantastic, most the time I'm losing because there's only a few ways to dodge a hazard an it involves accelerating your ship to s speed that is guaranteed to send you flying into a different obstacle. I think granting the player a little more control would go a long way.

Overall, great job! I really like your game!

LD56 — Tiny Creatures

Moon Picnic by Fractal 2024-10-14T22:48:30Z

I got stuck on the cake level, but this game is extremely fun! Great job!

Goobers: Escape from Lab 8 by maymay 2024-10-08T01:29:03Z

I spent a good hour playing your game! I had a good time. It was fun discovering all the different goobers. I did eventually look at the cheat sheet when I forgot some combos. It took me about 5 attempts on the exit door to finally get through. Props to this team. Really great work!

Leafling builders by Kotolazer 2024-10-07T21:42:51Z

Loved the mood! The music and gameplay are very relaxing. The graphics and concept are just lovely! Great work!
