LD46 — Keep it alive

Stranded by KunoNoOni 2020-04-22T15:31:55Z

Nice! Love the dice concept. My only critique would be that the difficulty could have risen a bit higher more quickly, whether it be by reducing the number of dice or amount of re-rolls each day.

Subsea Demon Hearts by JonasMumm 2020-04-22T15:42:31Z

Very unique concept! I had fun playing this

Inhabitable by inzombiak 2020-04-23T01:30:59Z

Well, this has received my highest rating yet. The art is great, the audio is hilarious, it's simple, funny, and just overall fun to play. Excellent job :v:

Sheep Sheep Halloumi by Dining Philosopher 2020-04-23T15:19:26Z

The artwork in this is amazing!

Protecc-Terra by calapout 2020-04-21T18:43:02Z

very interesting, simple and fun game

Unicorn by JacksGamesSucks 2020-04-21T20:10:31Z

nice game - reminded me of an oldddddd game called Jill of the Jungle

Keep Morality Alive by adriczero 2020-04-23T02:16:52Z

It took me a few tries to figure out how to play the game but once I did I found it quite enjoyable. The simple art is great.

Planet Defenders For Hire by paulhocker 2020-04-23T02:10:40Z

Nice game!

Fire Keeper by mechanicallife 2020-04-22T15:50:20Z

Very impressive game! It was pretty intuitive and didn't take long to figure out how to play properly. Very innovative with the use of the shield as both being used for movement and protecting the flame.

Ducky's Day Out by Kosmo 2020-04-22T16:57:51Z

great puzzle game!

Mampfred and the singing, tingling tree by gagapete 2020-04-21T22:32:42Z

It took me a little bit to get the hang of it but once I did I was hooked. It was really satisfying to see the tree grow. The art is great.

Affordable Pet Care by domrein 2020-04-24T01:33:08Z

Fun simple game and very neat concept. Three of the pets looked exactly the same on my first play through which made it a bit difficult.

Good Squire by Eli Delventhal 2020-04-21T21:04:43Z

I love the abstract theme and the fantastic art.

the Early Worm by alec 2020-04-21T22:25:24Z

Cool concept! I really liked the art

This Wasn't In The Job Description by ScottYT 2020-04-23T01:03:04Z

This is definitely a solid foundation for what could be a really really good game. The premise alone is amazing. Some of the tasks that were more generic like "water the plant over there" was a little confusing but at the same time it played right into the "bad boss" theme. The dialogue is hilarious. My favourite task was "Beat Bob in Tetris". Overall well done! :v:

A Guy and his Princess by neowhoru 2020-04-23T14:51:45Z

I love the art and music. And the concept is brilliant! I'd love to see this game developed further.

Leafy Hero by Guilb 2020-04-22T17:14:37Z

Nice!

Take Us Home by Lee Beever 2020-04-21T16:04:35Z

this is great!

Your Pet Alien by AdonisDevs 2020-04-22T21:06:47Z

This is a super cool concept! Pretty fun too, I made it 22 hours

Protector Of Zinoth by Sinci1 2020-04-22T15:57:20Z

Nice! I had fun playing this one

Save UwU flame chan by playball 2020-04-21T19:07:59Z

this was pretty fun

Mount Ookie by Brusi 2020-04-21T20:04:38Z

Nice graphics, fun game play, abstract take on the theme - this is my favourite submission I've played so far.

Ballad of the Bard by Filip Bergkvist 2020-04-24T15:16:09Z

Really great! I was most impressed by the pixel art - it was amazing. The game was fun to play too. I feel like the game would have been a bit more intuitive if the notes you had to play were one after the other like a s d f g although that could also add some confusion since those would no longer be named after the actual notes.

Dodo - A Dodo Game by theforceluke 2020-04-21T22:36:15Z

This is a super unique and addictive game

Peacemaker by Sandra Jasionowska 2020-04-24T14:31:57Z

ha this is great! Gave me some serious Earthbound vibes

Generic Tower Defense by Mravec 2020-04-24T16:14:41Z

Very nice game! Found it ended up being a little too easy though.

Keep the LEVEL ALIVE! by magicera 2020-04-21T14:18:40Z

nice! very fun

Strazy Dazy by B. Golda 2020-04-21T14:04:05Z

Nice! Reminded me of dance dance revolution. Couldn't stop playing this one.

My Friendly Planet by Joule 2020-04-22T15:02:46Z

I love the use of gravity in this game. It was a little confusing that the game would end when the sun was hit by and asteroid - my instinctive thought was that you'd use the sun as a shield for the earth and on one play-through there was a glitch where the earth shot off to the right of the screen but the game kept on going. Overall I had a lot of fun playing this.

kittengarten by klettari 2020-04-26T03:16:43Z

Congrats on getting further then you have before! I can see it's unfinished but I do like the graphics and the mechanic of having the kittens move around once the cat character moves. It's definitely a solid foundation. Keep up the good work!

Faire L'Amour aux Plantes by Jenny Bourke 2020-04-22T16:47:47Z

Very nice simple game. The artwork is fantastic, the game is humorous and the gameplay is fun with a decent progression of difficulty as the game goes on. Well done!

Space Ranger by LuCecyl 2020-04-21T01:25:33Z

Really fun -- just wondering though, is there a victory condition?

Solar by thevinter 2020-04-21T18:37:22Z

I love the art and atmosphere of this game.

Dungeon Ball by scott.redrup 2020-04-21T20:53:11Z

this was a lot of fun!

Keep Plant Alive by cninja_ 2020-04-21T18:29:40Z

I LOVE the art style. It was a bit confusing at first figuring out that I didn't have to bring water back to the flower. Also, the character couldn't move after I lost and tried again. But overall, very fun.

Ark Survive by Pusheeneiro 2020-04-21T20:58:50Z

Very funny! A lot of fun to play.

Save The President by elq 2020-04-21T02:48:25Z

love the art style!

Oh Crap! by BackwardsCap 2020-04-21T02:17:45Z

Love the art style, gameplay was fun but couldn't play the surgery section - couldn't pick up the organs.

Shelter the Flame by Frozen Spirit 2020-04-23T02:26:02Z

Loved the art and the simplicity and difficulty of this game. It was very fun to play. My only suggestion would be to have a countdown timer rather then one counting up.

FIREGUARD by Puszkee 2020-04-23T15:10:56Z

The art was fantastic! Gameplay was also fun, it was neat lighting the sticks on fire and throwing them at the tree monsters.

A.R.S - Alien Rescue Simulator by azagaya 2020-04-22T21:14:36Z

I love the art and music. Really feeling the Rick and Morty vibe. Perhaps its just me, but when I was shooting the game would start to lag/skip.

Turtle Daddy by dummydojo 2020-04-23T15:23:27Z

very fun and well polished game!

Kaboom Princess by Aune 2020-04-23T18:36:08Z

The art and sound were great but the controls are way too confusing - the actual game was easier then the tutorial.

Feed My Frankenstein by LurkerRIP 2020-04-22T14:51:39Z

It was a bit confusing at first - it took about three tries before I got the hang of it, but once I did I had a lot of fun playing it.

Save the Fish by Duck Reaction 2020-04-21T19:23:17Z

very entertaining!

StarDreck by xPutin88 2020-04-21T18:24:42Z

got a score of 122 - this was super addictive.

Rescue turtles by A-312 2020-04-23T00:44:45Z

I came here after your comment on my game, it's awesome we ended up making such similar games. Really love your animations and the fact that you could push the turtles towards the sea to make them move faster. I really enjoyed this one :v:

DOC+ORS by bixarrio 2020-04-21T02:27:55Z

very fun!

Lonely Year by Shanzhai 2020-04-21T19:30:06Z

Pretty fun game. I thought the water coming out of the cave was toxic at first

Earth Protector by Riadazz 2020-04-22T15:17:12Z

Nice simple fun game!

Heartbeat by CaptainProton42 2020-04-21T18:47:58Z

fun!

OwOrbit by AudreyC 2020-04-21T19:20:26Z

I love the art style!

"THE" ice cream game by nickw22 2020-04-21T18:04:44Z

Nice!

Eggs With Legs by Teto 2020-04-22T15:23:04Z

Found it a little confusing in the beginning but it ended up being quite a fun game. I love the humour!

The Last Flame by TortoiseGames 2020-04-21T17:06:11Z

fun!

Keep Campfire On by FedeOlive 2020-04-23T01:09:57Z

I really like the art and the general vibe of this game. It was definitely enjoyable to see the fire grow. But I do have to admit, I found it a bit confusing. I was able to last two minutes and the fire grew very big and then I suddenly got "Game Over". Did I lose or win?

SeaTurtle Safety Squad by PrimalShadow 2020-04-21T01:43:59Z

Should be fixed now

SeaTurtle Safety Squad by PrimalShadow 2020-04-21T02:36:52Z

Fixed itch.io link

SeaTurtle Safety Squad by PrimalShadow 2020-04-21T02:37:32Z

new link is up

SeaTurtle Safety Squad by PrimalShadow 2020-04-21T18:50:21Z

@roboimuri Thanks for the feedback! I used GameMaker Studio 1.4

SeaTurtle Safety Squad by PrimalShadow 2020-04-22T17:17:06Z

@jenny-bourke @welby @p-dude the link has been fixed!

SeaTurtle Safety Squad by PrimalShadow 2020-04-22T17:17:59Z

Thanks everyone for the feedback! Unfortunately I didn't have time to get the audio working before the deadline.

SeaTurtle Safety Squad by PrimalShadow 2020-04-24T14:51:20Z

@sinci1 thanks for the input! I agree with a lot of what you are saying. Audio, Ideal Game Length and Difficulty were three things I just didn't have time to implement fully but if I expand upon this game then I will most certainly take this feedback into consideration.

I really like the scare-the-crabs-before-they-spawn idea -- hadn't thought of that one.

SeaTurtle Safety Squad by PrimalShadow 2020-04-24T15:22:09Z

@william-nomikos @invader @convg @sandra-jasionowska thanks for the feedback!

Bondfire by daidiimon 2020-04-21T18:18:04Z

I love that you can light multiple fires from the original. This was fun

Turtle Team by welby 2020-04-22T16:52:35Z

Glad to see another turtle game! The art is great

Egg Bounce by SteelySam 2020-04-23T02:22:22Z

Love the concept - very interesting take on the theme. My only suggestion would be to have the camera follow the egg. The most frustrating part of this game for me was getting the egg passed the two walls only to get a game over because I can't see where the egg is to bounce it. Overall I had a fun time playing this game.

Overheat by SlimmerBurger 2020-04-22T15:12:36Z

This was really satisfying to play. I love the audio in this game - especially how the shooting sound effect sounded more frantic the more quickly your shots were fired.

Dog Feeder by plantleaf 2020-04-22T21:31:59Z

Pretty fun puzzle game. I found the controls a bit counter intuitive - I made it to level 5. Loved the dog sprite!

Yobuds by noahnewline 2020-04-24T17:59:17Z

ha this was a lot of fun! Nice artwork, unique concept and overall just fun to play. I got 23 000 points. gameover.png

Jeffrey the Turtle by fullmetal_automaton 2020-04-23T14:57:37Z

I like how the level design changes each time. Only confusing part was how to win

the ruins by ruby0x1 2020-04-25T03:27:44Z

really nice graphics and I like the tight controls. I found it a little easy, however, and in one of the levels I ended up falling out of the playable area.

LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Dodge the Doge by LucasMolina 2020-10-06T01:35:30Z

Very fun and intuitive to play. Difficulty level seemed pretty static however.

Round Out by foolmoron 2020-10-06T23:58:45Z

I typically don't read the instructions for games and just jump in so I have to say from that perspective the game wasn't very intuitive to play, but once I did realize I couldn't figure it out on my own and read the instructions it was a pretty fun game. And cool graphics!

Loopy Flight by Macmist 2020-10-05T23:54:43Z

Very neat interpretation of the theme! It was pretty fun, I feel like it would have been more satisfying had the score been based on distance flown or time flown or something like that.

Hell Glider by TheAxe316 2020-10-05T23:48:06Z

I really enjoyed this one. Once the grapple mechanics were introduced the game felt very fun and intuitive to play however before that, when you can only walk, the movement seems overly sluggish.

S P A C E D O U T by LanaLux 2020-10-06T18:53:29Z

As long as I've got a tribble cage and music I don't mind staying in that loop. Seriously though, this is very impressive for just a few days

Roll A Loop by Tristan10Cats 2020-10-05T22:35:30Z

it took me quite a few tries before I got the hang of it, but once I did it was pretty fun.

Journeys to the Spire by C0nt 2020-10-05T23:39:00Z

I really like the concept but I find it a bit confusing. The art is good

Shadow of Archimedes by Eckkert 2020-10-05T23:13:37Z

really cool concept

Sisyphus by PrimalShadow 2020-10-05T20:59:12Z

@tristan10cats thanks for letting me know, it should work now

Sisyphus by PrimalShadow 2020-10-07T03:10:45Z

@pee-thief yesssssss @jenny-bourke thanks! @lenophie It's possible but ridiculously hard haha

Sisyphus Beetle Takes His Daughter to Work by pee-thief 2020-10-05T22:50:02Z

This was hilarious! Really enjoyed it

Hamsterwheel by Tipu 2020-10-06T14:29:29Z

nice take on the theme!

Loopout by Berserg 2020-10-07T15:52:59Z

Nice game! Art is great

Resurrection by etrealjunior 2020-10-07T14:58:44Z

This was great! At first I was like what am I, a hot dog? How is this a loop game but then I got to section 2 and 3 which explained I was a seed and I was like woah okay this game is good. My main suggestion would be to adjust the difficulty curve - I found section 1 to be the hardest, section 2 was medium, and section 3 was easiest. I'm not sure if that was intentional but I think it would play better if it were the other way around. All in all very well done!

X REALITIES AWAY FROM HOME by Francois_B 2020-10-08T22:22:14Z

I feel like using oxygen as fuel to move faster would make the game a bit more enjoyable but that said I still thoroughly enjoyed this game. Well done!

SquareMob by Paul Pgt 2020-10-05T22:45:01Z

I feel like the zqsd only controls are karma for all the times I've made wasd only controlled game. That being said just like people told me, when you have the other keyboard the game can become unplayable. Other then that I like the concept and good job on the art.
