LD46 — Keep it alive (33)

Keep it alive by Sk1nnydave 2020-05-02T15:58:13Z ♥ 1

Really cool game. It was a little too easy to push enemies into the queen if they took the right tunnel (bottom left and right, mostly). Also, I tried to evolve a second time and my character seemed to disappear.

Keep Gannet alive by Monish Vyas 2020-04-29T15:06:00Z ♥ 1

Looks and feels good to play. I didn't realize clicking non-poisoned food would end the game. It could have been nice to have a health bar or something that drains over time unless gannet gets food and clicking could remove any item. Just an idea, maybe a little too different from your intent.

Shark Storm - Nom Nom Nom by doomshmuck 2020-04-29T12:29:19Z ♥ 0

I loved your sound effects. Really funny. I found it pretty hard to save the swimmers because they would spawn practically on top of a shark at the edge of the screen.

LifeLine - Music Pattern Obstacle Dodge by WZQXRYS 2020-04-29T12:25:08Z ♥ 1

Neat concept. Definitely glad that I could toggle the trippy effect. The music got pretty chaotic after a while and didn't sound as good as at the start, but I guess that's what happens with randomly generated music.

Vegetation Station by Jajo 2020-04-28T23:29:07Z ♥ 0

This felt way too difficult. It was almost impossible for me to dodge the enemy's bullets and the range on the shotgun meant that I was going to get hit pretty often. I didn't feel like there was much I could do to defend it.

Mind Defender by Laura del Pino 2020-04-28T23:24:07Z ♥ 1

I liked the message you were trying to convey and the style the game was presented in. The intro text made it sound like there would be more levels, but then it ended after the first one. I would love to see an expanded game in the future, but this was good for a LD entry.

Hot-Dog Rampage by Gargantus 2020-04-28T01:19:07Z ♥ 0

Challenging, but fun. It needed some transitions between levels. I could never tell if I had beaten a level or died. Some of the enemy types were a little too annoying, like the homing and rapid fire ones. It would have been nice to have some invincibility time after a hit so that the player isn't killed by lots of bullets close together.

Sanity Sim - Keep your sanity alive by petitpois 2020-04-28T01:00:40Z ♥ 0

This was fun for a few minutes. It gets repetitive very quickly once you figure out what each activity does. I felt like health drained way too fast.

Bees Like Trees by MuchosWaffles 2020-04-28T00:52:01Z ♥ 2

This one didn't really click with me. I think it was a neat idea, but I had a hard time figuring it out. It was not clear that filling orders gave you back more water. I also messed up because I needed yellows for all the orders and didn't plant any of those trees. Maybe starting with one tree of each color could make that better.

Wayfarers by Tednesday 2020-04-26T15:49:57Z ♥ 4

Couldn't get past the mammoth at the end. It's a challenging game, but a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the pace, as well as trying to hit the "sweet spot" for food and population.

Alien Intensive Care by Linky439 2020-04-26T15:27:17Z ♥ 1

Very polished game, especially for a compo. As others have said, it is pretty difficult and the small screen size didn't make it any easier. A quality game nonetheless.

Of Wolf and Mom by Derek Volker 2020-04-25T20:52:36Z ♥ 2

I liked this a lot. The sound fx added a satisfying feedback to the players actions. I wish there were more levels.

Fighting Footwork by Wolfier 2020-04-25T19:40:34Z ♥ 0

I couldn't really figure this one out. I liked the idea of choosing fencing maneuvers, but the interactions didn't really make sense to me.

Boomin' Zoomin' Lil' Lamb by Hegemege 2020-04-25T19:26:26Z ♥ 1

Wow. Everything about this game is absurd, and I mean that in the best way. That physics on that lamb really mad me smile and I loved watching it rocket around. Good job.

Abiogenesis by radmars 2020-04-25T18:57:13Z ♥ 1

Great game. I loved how the audio synched with the growth of the "plant". Graphics were awesome, too. I love that arterial look that the vines have. Awesome job.

Timmy & Rock by KekkoDude 2020-04-25T18:26:21Z ♥ 1

The enemies looked great. The walk animations were very smooth. The gameplay was a little tough to figure out at first, then once I did the game was too easy and I got bored pretty quickly. Still, a good Compo entry.

Sachka, Heal-sitter by Darklim Henwitch 2020-04-25T16:37:18Z ♥ 6

Fantastic entry. One of the best written entries I've seen.

Birb Island by ursagames 2020-04-25T15:58:53Z ♥ 1

This is a really great start to a neat game. Hopefully you put some time in to flesh it out further, or reuse your code for a future project.

Milk Dungeon by Kyle Bowman 2020-04-25T15:44:26Z ♥ 2

I really enjoyed this one. Simple and funny. I noticed that when the milk meter ran out the baby kept losing health even after I fixed the pumps. I'm not sure if that was intended. Still fun, either way. I loved the creepy baby.

Sorbest by robinfaury 2020-04-25T15:22:41Z ♥ 1

The first level was the best out of the three. The second was very hard to see and hard to jump around in. I felt like I melted too fast in the third level to get most of the apples. Also, I think there is a hole in the bridge in level three because I fell through a few times.

Fix the engine by VeniTheRich 2020-04-25T15:12:30Z ♥ 0

Cool concept. Could use some better explanations of some of the mechanics. I found the battery frustrating because it seemed like no matter how hard I cranked it it would always fully drain in a few seconds.

Earth Defense by aero 2020-04-25T14:56:23Z ♥ 1

I liked the idea, but I think it needs a little work. I think making it more expensive to buy buildings as the player progresses could help keep gameplay more balanced. Also, I had a hard time telling the difference between the jets and the aliens.

Floating Puffer by just-stanley 2020-04-23T13:59:59Z ♥ 1

Fun and challenging. I liked having to figure out how to use the puffer fish to cross gaps. A menu at the beginning would have been really nice.

AmbiSphere by X-c 2020-04-23T13:50:15Z ♥ 1

A little tricky to understand at first, but pretty fun once you get the hang of it. My arms started to get sore once the game hit about 500 speed and I had to rapidly press the keys.

Pigeon Ascent by Delta Key 2020-04-23T13:39:38Z ♥ 2

Gameplay was fun and I liked the idea behind the game. I had an issue with the HTML version where buying items from the store wouldn't lower my money. I was able to buy infinite supplies from the shop.

Guard'ner by superjai 2020-04-22T23:36:23Z ♥ 1

The music and sound effects added a lot to the experience. I liked how it was cheerful and stressful at the same time.

The Priest and the Bandits by TheDestoryer 2020-04-22T23:24:47Z ♥ 0

Pretty fun. I liked the challenge of moving two characters at once. I also liked that you could shoot the priest and he would take a lot of damage. LOL

Keep Sweep by Invixel 2020-04-22T23:00:53Z ♥ 1

Tons of fun. Really had me keep trying until I got to the max upgraded keep. After that though, the game should have ended. Max upgrades made the rest pretty trivial.

Custom Critter Fighter by Empty Set 2020-04-22T20:59:50Z ♥ 0

One of my favorites so far. A lot of fun to play. It would have been nice to see a score of some sort to track how far you have gotten.

Last Hope by Iluvatar 2020-04-22T20:42:34Z ♥ 1

Fun, if short and simple. I felt that you really did well with the theme. You told a very emotional story in a very short space. Well done!

It was your fault by Gavin Camlin 2020-04-22T20:31:36Z ♥ 1

I think this game could be really good with more time put into it. As it stands, the camera was very difficult to use with a mouse and having to manually exit the game after falling into a pit was too frustrating for me to continue. That being said, keep working on it. I'd love to see this again with some more polish.

Feed me, please! by Lucidus 2020-04-21T18:35:34Z ♥ 3

Cute game. Simple concept that was very well executed. Nice work.

Hard Beat by FinnThePirate 2020-04-21T15:26:29Z ♥ 1

It was fun at first, but I couldn't stomp on the viruses after a little while and my character just bounced around on top of them.
