LD39 — Running out of Power

THE RISING OF THE MACHINES by GreepyBrainsDev 2017-07-31T15:03:12Z

I really liked the way you implemented the movement of the character, seemed very smooth, and really enhances the gameplay. The voice over was nice as well as the crescendo on the enemy waves.

The aiming is not very precise though, could be better as well as adding a collision to stop the robots, from going above the houses.

After all the technical stuff, I just want to say that I've played the 10 levels, and I really enjoyed. Good Job!

Star Power by Simon Millard 2017-08-01T21:04:18Z

Really liked this game.

A space shooter/card game... What a nice and original piece of work.

Liked the sounds, I think they all fit well with the game, as well as the sprites. The UI is very good too as well as the mechanics envolved in the movements.

No down-sides for me, maybe there's some features that could be implemented as well, but the way the game is right now, for me is very good.

Can't wait to see what you will present to us next Ludum Dare.

Keep Coding! :wink:

Journey in the Dark by FurkanFS 2017-07-31T23:52:04Z

Nice art and jump/move mechanics.

Maybe working a little more on the menu UI and putting some sort of tip to click on the mouse button when the flashlight is turned off.

If you invest more time in this project after the ludum dare, this could evolve to something exciting.

Good Job!

Don't be (the) patient by Sogomn 2017-07-31T16:16:35Z

Really liked this game.

The concept is simple as well as the implementation. That's what really stands out from this game, play for play.

I thought that you could maybe add some UI to explicitly display the patient life, without the need of the sound, think about a player using headphones, for example.

Anyway, the game was really good and I see it fitting nicely on a mobile scenario.

Good Work!

Don't let running out of power by dcrdro 2017-07-31T17:12:08Z

Need some improvements.

The concept of the game is good although the implementation was not the best.

The mechanics envolved in the combat, the core of your game, weren't solid, should have been more smooth, there's where you lose some points in my opinion. Also there's a bug that I saw in the rotation of the fat mosnter, sometimes he walks on the opposite direction that he's looking, don't know if it happens to the other sprites.

Anyway, after all this, the game has a nice concept but the delivery didn't captivate me.

I'm sure you will take this opinion as a productive learning, and I can't wait to play your next game!

I see you on the next Ludum Dare! :wink:

Power, MT by PhilStrahl 2017-08-01T01:27:12Z

This game is something special.

The story is very engaging and the sounds you added make it beautifully emerging.

You did a good job. I'll wait for your Post-Mortem on your youtube channel :wink:

Keep Coding!

Demonic Powers by gilborn 2017-07-31T16:40:29Z

I really enjoyed this game.

From the ability to destroy walls to the sprites you used on the characters and map... Really good.

The only downside I saw was that maybe the level was too long, maybe I'm a bad player, but separating the main level to different levels, I think will increase the coolness of this game, but I understand this is a 48 hours game and the delivery has to be quick. Also I've liked to see an improvement on the UI.

Anyway, this game has a real potential to be something special.

Keep Coding!

Micro Mayhem by Doccrazy 2017-08-02T15:13:25Z

Great game for a 48 hours compo.

Made the 3 laps and finished in the first place.

The controls are a bit difficult at first, a little bit sensitive, but in the end we end having more control over the car.

The only downside, given that this was made in record time, was the camera. Maybe giving a free look camera option to the player so he can have a better view of what's going on in the race and with the car.

Anyway, you did a really good job with this.

Congratulations!

Battery Life by justinooncx 2017-08-01T22:44:22Z

Nice concept, you took the theme a step further.

This game remembers me my old times struggling to play the game boy in the dark to save some battery power.

I liked the idea, but I liked the game too, you achieved good mechanics overall.

Good game and a good use of the theme.

Blackout by 100th_Coin 2017-08-01T16:25:49Z

Good game.

The movement of the player seemed fluid and I liked the way it goes slower as the player loses power/health. The enemies were I think, what catched most of my eyes, they are challenging but not make the game frustrating to play, and that balance you achieved there is a great achievement for the project. Really liked the art, simple and solid, perfect for this type of game. The music was nice, but what got me to make it a winning point for the game was the nice touch you added when the player is dying, the slower effect.

There's no really downsides just a design opinion, I wish you could improve the tutorial page, as well as some color choices that make some colors (yellow if I remember) a bit repetitive.

Anyway, it is a awesome game, and I can't wait to see your next projects!

Pogo Stick Granny by good.enough 2017-07-31T15:33:04Z

This game give us a new and funny concept.

What make the core of this game is the mechanics/physics envolved in the jumping and you did it very well. The graphics were also good enough to immerse ourselves in this crazy funniness.

The downside really was missing objectives, or some records to keep the player interested and engaged enough to play the second time. Also, when you jump there's some problems when bumping into the walls, but nothing more time and a better map layout couldn't fix.

After all the technical stuff, it was a very original game. Congratulations!

The Crown Prince by Baby Dino Herd 2017-08-01T16:06:17Z

What an original game, with a perfect implementation.

The art fits the game very well, the concept is original and engaging, the gameplay was difficult for me at first to wrap my head around, but after "studying" the game description with more attention I got there.

Very unique and fun, you could improve more this game that I will follow it.

Keep Coding! :wink:

Basement Dweller by PokeRaySuper 2017-08-01T20:49:05Z

Nice concept.

The implementation could be better, but it's good right now.

From a gameplay perspective I think you could do better with the flashlight, making the light vanishing slowly as the battery is decreasing. I think that you could have done a better art on the basement, but I comprehend that maybe the time has runned out.

Anyway, is a solid game, and overall is good.

Keep making games!

The Shutdown by Silas Reinagel 2017-08-02T14:57:08Z

Really liked this game. I always liked this type of games, and I can say that you did very well.

The art is awesome as well as the sounds and music. The mechanics are very clean and the story is good enough for 3 days.

Hard to tell that this was made in 72 hours of work.

Good job guys!

Voodoo Lockdown by Antti Haavikko 2017-08-01T17:18:47Z

Great game.

Awesome graphics, I really liked the player animation. The letters idea is brilliant and original.

I'm sure you're really proud.

Congratulations!

D34TH by Falk Bruskeland 2017-08-01T15:48:27Z

Simple concept, Simple game, Perfect implementation.

Only thing I would fix is the difficulty, found it a bit hard, but that's just my opinion.

Anyway, good job, can't wait to see what you'll make in your next Ludum Dare!

MICROSCOPIC by XedithDev 2017-07-31T17:23:27Z

Good job with this game.

The art is very well created, the movement of the cell seems nice as well as the movement trail effect.

I see no downsides here, maybe adding some features like more enemies or more objective along with the main objective.

This has potential, good job.

⚡Current City⚡ by JnKrambrich 2017-08-01T17:04:58Z

Good game.

I always liked this type of game for being both complex and strategy based, two things that are hard to get on 48 hours made game. But you did it. Even a tutorial is present.

For your first Ludum Dare you're a few steps ahead.

Congratulations! :wink:

Proto472 by uzyfeo 2017-07-31T16:25:09Z

Proto472 is a good game.

The art of the character goes along with the UI and the map, delivering a good experience to the player. The movement as well as the jump are good too.

I can see this game on mobile fitting nicely.

Good Job!

Bot Beater by SMA 2017-08-01T15:40:43Z

Good job with the graphics and the fight mechanics.

I think that you have some problems with the difficulty, on the beggining is a little too much, and as someone here in the comments said, starting with a full power bar will improve the experience, at least for the beginning level.

This project has potential if you put some more work into it.

Congratulations!

Wayside : A world awaits you by TheCodeFactory 2017-07-31T16:51:25Z

You picked a Super Meat Boy's style, that you knew that worked and made it better.

Really enjoyed the game, remembers me a lot of super meat boy, although I prefer the controls this way with the mouse.

The art is simple but delivers a very good experience as well as the jumping physics.

I see no downsides here, I think the game is very good, and can't wait to play it in my mobile. Don't forget to tell everyone here on Ludum Dare, when you deploy it to the mobile devices!

Congratulations!

Paper Plane Simulator 2007 by PolyWolf 2017-08-01T22:55:34Z

Cool game.

I liked the physics on the paper, it is the strong part of the game and you did it very well.

There's a bug, I think, that when you already are flying, you can push the space button to give it a boost, but I saw that you already know that. (doesn't affect at all the coolness of the game, I think it's better this way) There's another,tied to the space bug, that if you aim to the "sky" and continue to press space, eventually you will die, but the speed will be stuck on 10000 and the distance will be negative, like someone show above.

After all, I liked the game, and I think you implemented the concept very well.

Keep Coding!

Leaf Runner by David Greene 2017-08-01T00:08:54Z

You did a good job, the map look awesome, with all the 2D top down merged with 3D, really cool! The mini-map display is a sweet bonus that I really liked too.

Being said that, I think you could have done better on the car movement. Sometimes was really difficult to turn and the update between frames was not that smooth, making the movement seem laggy, I think that have to do with the speed you've given to the car.

This is a good game, you've made a good effort, you should be very proud!

Influencer Tycoon by pst723 2017-08-01T00:56:49Z

I really enjoyed to play this game. Liked everything about it.

The concept of the game is fairly simple, but the way it is delivered to the player in the game is very solid and concise.

You did a good game, can't wait to see you on the next Ludum Dare!

LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Pumpkin Quest by dusho 2017-12-06T21:58:49Z

Really like the art of this game. Overall is very good, I missed a soft music in the background, but anyway, solid entry!

Be Fit! by ProgrammingDimension 2017-12-04T23:27:21Z

Thank you all for the comments!

The objective of this game, as an arcade game is to just run longer as possible.

You have two "stats", hunger and fat. Every time you eat something the hunger decreases, given that "bad" food will decrease it more but add more to the fat. In opposite the "good" food does not decrease very much the hunger but will decrease the fat. Less fat means longer jumps and more distance covered.

I'm glad you liked my ballet jumps xD

Jungle Raider by Torak Whiteleopard 2017-12-04T21:40:56Z

Good job! I really enjoyed playing your game. Liked the art and the overall gameplay. Keep coding ;)

LD42 — Running out of space

Withsand by TerraCottaFrog 2018-08-13T02:34:21Z

I liked everything about this game. Everything about it is simple and exceptional. Congratulations, one of my favorites so far!

Delivery Boi by JCMonkey 2018-08-13T03:03:07Z

Good touch on the art, the voice acting was a very cool idea. The game idea is simple, but what surrounds it made it an awesome entry for the compo!

Setting Soul by Omniorcus 2018-08-13T02:27:44Z

I liked the way you created a creepy atmosphere on the game. A polish on the navigation would improve the overall fun playing this game, sometimes it was difficult to know where to go next.

doof by JonahSenzel 2018-08-13T02:46:25Z

The artwork and the music brings this game to a whole new level, good job!

LimitedLootHunters by rhewid 2018-08-13T17:52:35Z

The game is a bit confusing but I liked your inventory idea. It is a good game for a first entry, keep going!

Climb by Albin 2018-08-13T02:52:46Z

The art is pretty decent!

Manoeuvre kings by Sentmoraap 2018-08-13T18:02:56Z

I liked the idea, a polish on the game art and sounds/music will improve this game.

Personal Bubble by 4thwallstudios 2018-08-13T03:13:45Z

An original concept very well executed. From the nostalgic music to the particles spawned when colliding with other bubbles, you captured the bathroom feel very well. The issue that I found was that on the beginning of playing the movement of the camera seemed a bit weird, but an option to reverse the camera movement would make it. One of my favorites until now, congratulations!

BugStorm by leon75 2018-08-13T18:22:07Z

I really like this type of games. For a Compo entry, overall is one of the best from what I've seen so far! Some polish on the art would take this game to a whole new level!

Hold Me Back by parameterized 2018-08-14T01:24:23Z

I liked the idea behind this game, and the way you executed it was very good. The only thing I think you could've done better is the art, all the rest is very responsive and solid, congratulations!

Tree Bomb by Cannonperson 2018-08-14T01:37:03Z

I liked this game a lot. I don't know if it is the explosion paticles, or the way the purple thing keeps increasing but this game has that "thing" in it that makes it a very addictive one. If you improve the art and spend time tuning the difficulty/tempo this game have potential to be something very special!

Eterneroids by skytiger 2018-08-13T02:41:36Z

The AI seemed nice as well as the laser effects. I liked particularly the way you've implemented the theme here. Some polish on the design as well as some sounds would make this game even better, anyway it is a very solid entry!
