LD36 — Ancient Technology

Egypt Saves The World by RafaCP 2016-08-29T01:31:00

Nice game, simple music but it really works. Congrats

Otherworld by notime4games 2016-08-29T01:47:00

Love the art style, great sounds too. I only wish the character could have been animated but im guessing you didn't get the time to do it

Forest Walk by slam_nine 2016-08-29T02:02:00

Beautiful game, the art is great. Do you plan on continuing it? because I feel like with more content this could be a thing

SUNWARD by graebor 2016-08-29T04:05:00

You made this in 48 h ?! The art looks amazing! i gotta say your game feels is eye candy and still has solid game play, really impressed.

Retro Player by justinooncx 2016-08-29T04:11:00

Loved it, music is great. I could see this turn into a full game if you were to set up stages. great job

Angry Bullets by maartene 2016-08-29T01:23:00

Love the game, the only problem is i got stuck when a ball kept rolling sometimes

Pyramid Heist by kazoo 2016-08-29T01:42:00

Great game, love how the flying gets less and less strong, feels as realistic as a chicken in a pyramid can get

LD44 — Your life is currency

Combo Wiz by pokenoufl 2019-04-29T21:44:43Z

@corgiram Thanks man. I definitely agree with you that more feedback would have been good. IDK how but it slipped out of my mind when I was working on it.

Combo Wiz by pokenoufl 2019-04-29T21:45:51Z

@jcmonkey Glad you liked it. I'm not too sure what you mean by enemies moving and shooting faster though

Combo Wiz by pokenoufl 2019-04-29T21:47:34Z

@memel06 Thanks man, I was actually making this to see how this sort of combat would fit in a larger game, and it seems decent (although some form of breaks from battle are needed sometimes if the game lasts more than 5 minutes). Anyways, thanks for the feedback

Combo Wiz by pokenoufl 2019-04-30T18:55:41Z

@gcttirth Thanks mate, I'm glad you liked it !

Combo Wiz by pokenoufl 2019-04-30T21:30:07Z

@nikipedia Yep, that was my biggest issue with the game, but I didn't have time to implement a dedicated shop that would stop combo from dropping

Does Money Grow on Trees by Antti Haavikko 2019-04-29T20:41:12Z

This was awesome, loved the animations and the amount of polish is insane. Great job.

A Deal with the Devil by OmnipotentIndie 2019-04-29T02:24:24Z

Great game, loved the combat and the idea was very cool. upgrades felt substantial which is great. The small screen + very red color palette made it a bit hard to se sometimes but otherwise very cool.

Nexcidium by keanutah 2019-04-29T21:42:21Z

Hey, looked great, gear steak said standign still was an option but I had fun dodging anyways, Great job

FEED ME ESSENCE by dinosire 2019-04-29T04:22:50Z

Fun game, I enjoyed the are and the concept. It's an interesting idea to have to avoid the demon while feeding it. I wish there could have been more scenarios with it but great job for 48h ^-^

Paid in Blood by Scott Steffes 2019-04-29T18:58:33Z

I loved this game. The music fit perfectly. The cards were fun and there was rarely a correct choice. I managed to get pretty far and after a while the gods didn't matter much because I'd ammased so many villagers. I feel like the dificulty curve was too low (punishments should be turn number /2 or something like that) so that keeping sacrifices is really needed. Anyways, Amazing job !

Dare To Dance by joe-the-really-old 2019-04-30T00:49:03Z

Love the walk cycle!

High Roller by CorgiRam 2019-04-29T21:36:19Z

Great Moneyball sprite, the game had a great feel

Coin Puzzles by Mika la Grand 2019-04-29T18:41:20Z

Cool idea that is well executed. The buttons could have been a bit more forgiving (activate at 75% or +) so that you dont fail by slightly overjumping but it still worked really well! Congrats

Gather Drone by Vimlark 2019-04-29T04:16:24Z

Interesting game, although I'm unsure how it fits with the theme. the drone was fun to control and I liked the beam effect

The Boxer's Pact: Fausts of Fury by ScalphaMission 2019-04-30T19:06:29Z

This game is amazing for a 48 hour game. With that said I do think the combat felt a bit wonky sometimes but it is completely acceptable for the time given

The Underworld Underworld by Osspial 2019-04-30T19:39:49Z

Love the pushback mechanic, although it felt a bit too slidy at times if I was moving in the same direction i boosted. Great game!

Nebula Rush by Erukolindo 2019-04-29T21:53:06Z

This is such a cool idea. It's the most theme fitting game I've seen so far. I can't say clicking on circles was fun but clearly thats the point. The actual gameplay lacked a bit of punch but the idea was very well executed. Good job!

utsvulten by ditto 2019-04-30T04:43:15Z

Love the audio, it's so unsettling

bird food by kyavi 2019-04-30T00:41:52Z

i'll add to the non-grid movement being strange, but it worked well otherwise

LD45 — Start with nothing

Slay the Dungeon by jharler 2019-10-09T00:08:09Z

Got an unkillable enemy but I had fun beforehand. Cool cards and things work well in general. Enemies are a bit too bullet spongey at the start imo

Liam Dehaudt's EPIC Life Simulator by pokenoufl 2019-10-08T06:07:04Z

Thanks so much @phil-c! Very happy to hear you enjoyed it. Yep, sadly I was working away from my home setup and forgot to download FL studio on my laptop beforehand so I didn't get the chance to make a quick tune (which might be for the best bacause I'm terrible at music anyhow ^^)

Liam Dehaudt's EPIC Life Simulator by pokenoufl 2019-10-08T17:00:50Z

@nachtwitch Thanks a lot! honestly I wasn't sure about the art style I chose so it's nice to hear good things ^^. Also just to clarify I was in the compo so the time limit is 48 hours... I have a project I am working on currently which is totally different (action rogue-lite platformer), but honestly I thought about it last night and it might be fun to do a 1 month version of this game and see how far I can get with it, if it's good enough maybe put it on Steam... idk, but I'll think about it.

Liam Dehaudt's EPIC Life Simulator by pokenoufl 2019-10-08T18:31:11Z

@celmer89 Thanks, Yea a few more would have been nice but sadly I settled on large UI button size and could't afford to change it to make more space. Also not sure how far you got but you do unlock more as you go and based on day/night time

Liam Dehaudt's EPIC Life Simulator by pokenoufl 2019-10-09T01:15:43Z

Hey @locomule, no only a few actions were meant to be idle... thanks for the feedback, I thought it should be hard since from what I know getting out of homelessness isn't easy (and neither is game dev ^^). One tip is to check out the city at night for a way to make some quick cash. But yea once you buy the bed it gets easier to not hemorrhage money. (also bar is not required or recommended early)

Liam Dehaudt's EPIC Life Simulator by pokenoufl 2019-10-09T16:14:06Z

@humphreysmedia Thanks for the feedback... I did make the progression slow mostly by design because I wanted this game like an idle game where you don't always go up, so difficulty was part of the plan... I do think I would reduce it if this wasn't a jam game though.

Liam Dehaudt's EPIC Life Simulator by pokenoufl 2019-10-09T20:50:49Z

@jharler Looks like I'm not very good at listening to my own warnings then ^^'

Amor Fati by starvingindie 2019-10-11T02:12:43Z

Not sure if anyone's mentioned this (i read first few comments), but I got 2 guys stuck on top of eachother and they ended the game is 2 seconds by spawning tons of hearts.

Enter the Abyss by GuitarBro 2019-10-09T05:24:56Z

Looks epic and plays very well. Not that much depth as I will agree with a few other comments that once I had fireball i became unkillable but this was fun anyhow. Great Job!

VaultSmith by DigitalLimestone 2019-10-08T16:11:40Z

The crafting felt really enjoyable and this is a nice variation on the rogue-lite formula. I ran into some issues with the combat however, I feel a downward and upward attack would have made it feel less clunky

Split or Steal by Monish Vyas 2019-10-08T06:24:25Z

Fun game with a cool aesthetic. Loved the look of the little alien guys. The only thing that bothered me is that I didn't see a reason not to steal as I believe I would lose half if they stole no matter if I stole or split, I guess I didn't see a reason to care how much the aliens had.

!Another Chance by aleksandar2901 2019-10-08T18:39:03Z

Fun game with a cool plot. I enjoyed my time with it! I do wish text speed was faster so replaying sections wouldn't be so slow. Loved the speech animation ^^

Life. I guess. by ToFuMan 2019-10-08T04:28:04Z

I had fun, especially when I let myself forget about consequances and avoid minmaxing instead going for what felt more like me. Great mood! Nitpick but a sound when you click on a card would have made it a bit more engaging.

Shadow Walker by SheepDog123 2019-10-09T01:19:08Z

This idea is really cool! I don't think it would work as a full game, but as a game jam game I had a lot of fun. Loved the big headed guy ^^

Don't Stop by analytical_spoon 2019-10-08T18:06:01Z

Fun game. I couldn't figure out if there was a point in evolving but moving around and gtting all the orbs was fun

Cascade by Goldenglade 2019-10-08T04:18:27Z

Super fun! I agree that the roll being controllled by the second stick felt a bit awkward at first but I got used to it after a bit. Bosses were simple but cool and overall you pushed the polish very high. Nice job ^^

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Puzz Snake by Igor KinGamer 2018-04-23T02:35:29Z

looks great, you should check out snakebird if you want to see a fully realized version of this. love the puzzles.

Tetra Dungeon by el-pepi 2018-04-23T21:59:14Z

dope game, super addictive. Respawn points are a bit janky but understandable with the time constrain.

Great job.

Rythm is Lava by egordorichev 2018-04-23T01:17:44Z

Love the artstyle, very clean looking. A cool approach to the theme and although I feel like the game requires you to be aware of a few too many things at once, it is really fun to play.

If i were to add one thing I would put in an effect every time the beat hits (like necromancer does) to keep the tempo more easy to follow.

Type Gear by pokenoufl 2018-04-23T06:14:52Z

"speed" brings you to a hidden level (secret is out I guess). It's just meant to be a fun thing to see how fast you can type "speed up".

Type Gear by pokenoufl 2018-04-23T18:40:46Z

Thanks for the feedback Ismael , the reset thing is definitely a good idea. I liked the difficulty of it but you are right that it is a bit off putting.

We Will Rebuild by mralex 2018-04-23T05:54:47Z

Love the idea, sadly it caused a lot of lag on my end. Still a great project and love the look of it, keep it up man

Grid Gunner by SuperTibbles 2018-04-23T06:04:47Z

Love the concept and the artstyle, great job.

That distortion effect looks very good and helps differentiate your game from all the other ones out there. Very solid game

Escape by Gamekrazzy 2018-04-23T06:30:37Z

Love it. not too theme heavy but that's fine. Great game and great feel to it. If you don't mind sharing what did you use for your music?

Maze in dark by Richnou 2018-04-23T06:12:27Z

Solid concept and well executed. It's hard but it's not frustrating.

One thing you could try adding is revealing the level at the end to make the player realize exactly what they were facing.
