LD54 — Limited Space

RatTrap by JCMonkey 2023-10-02T18:59:51Z

I love the artstyle and lighting! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a second key in the starting area, real or fake, so I couldn't progress. But, I may be missing something obvious.

QPCA-77B by Jimbly 2023-10-02T15:26:54Z

I am a sucker for emulator games, and this is as good as it gets! Great work with the sounds, they're so satisfying. And nice tutorials, too many emulator games just throw the manual at you... which is fine, but not for a general audience.

re🟡cycle by Ovidios 2023-10-02T18:38:21Z

Great game overall! My only complaint is that it seems to lag out after a few minutes of playing on my system. I'm not at all familiar with the engine you used to make this, but maybe there are some memory leaks or something?

I can't expect you to test on every system though, it's a game jam. Very fun game!

ForkerLifter by Dingbat 2023-10-01T23:21:28Z

Great game! You nailed the controls and handling for a 48 hour game. My only suggestion is to add a reset button (unless I missed one) because my terrible driving got me stuck after a few pallets :)

Orbital Operations by bmacintosh 2023-10-02T18:48:28Z

Very relaxing to play (the game and the music!)

I'm with @harmadillo, I could see a challenging sped-up version of this being fun too!

Match Two (Prototype) by Madgvox 2023-10-01T22:18:58Z

Good work, it's very fun! A simple scoring system and victory condition are all that's needed imo.

This Game Only Weighs 8 KB! by UnidayStudio 2023-10-02T19:21:02Z

Cool little game (literally!) Some of the levels are actually surprisingly difficult!

What compiler flags did you use for release - did you try using the /O1 optimization flag to reduce space even further?

Hope Falters by Jeremy Ryan 2023-10-01T22:26:04Z

Great pacing of the puzzles, and nice work with the audio!

Burglary Bonanza! by kasperhangard 2023-10-02T19:49:37Z

I was able to steal the entire sofa without getting caught. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough space to keep it though. 11/10!

Tetradom by vfqd 2023-10-02T02:16:00Z

Really fun! All the enemies felt a bit on the easy side, except for the large ones. Also, I feel like target priority for the soldiers and archers could be improved - they wouldn't always attack the most important threats first.

Overall this felt fantastically polished.

Turn it ! by Kaimon 2023-10-02T16:39:13Z

Fun platformer with a great artstyle! Sometimes the screen limits were in awkward places, I almost wish the camera just followed the player entirely. But, that is such a tiny issue.

Flicker of Lumina by Nash 2023-10-02T19:42:21Z

Very fun! Difficulty feels good - haven't gone 5 minutes yet, but I've gotten close. Great art + mood too!

Hole in the Well by DecadeDecaf 2023-10-02T15:06:52Z

Cool! It's all fun and games until the IRS shows up.

Also, great job with leveling the audio in a narrative driven game. Audio leveling/mastering is one of those things that you don't notice that much unless it's messed up, but you nailed it!

If I Fits, I Sits! by cheesepencil 2023-10-02T18:41:54Z

Fun! I can't get enough of the 8 bit sounds, great work!

Nightly Delivery by Frankey333 2023-10-02T21:10:21Z

This is excellent - the art is stellar, and it's a very polished game for a game jam. Great work!

Only suggestion would be to make it clear whether each person wants a delivery, or has another item for me to deliver. But maybe leaving it ambiguous was intentional.

Matom Smasher by Shiiro 10psi 2023-10-01T23:39:54Z

It took me a few tries to figure it out, but once I got a feel for how the matoms interacted, it was super fun! Great concept!!

Micro Golf! by txomin 2023-10-02T15:37:22Z

Great game! Having a way to hit it less hard would make it easier, but I get that a traditional mini golf game probably isn't what you were going for. Cool way of showing where the ball will bounce ahead of time, too :)

Paula Shultz Adventures by brainles etertainment 2023-10-02T21:03:46Z

Nice little game! I like the light getting dimmer over time, it adds a nice touch to the difficulty!

Feng Shui Struggles by Nozomu57 2023-10-01T22:37:34Z

Great work, the game felt like a good difficulty. Hard, but never impossible. The solution to the last level is very funny!

Pactory by Ralian 2023-10-02T16:29:24Z

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I uploaded my game to itch.io too, if you want to play an HTML5 version of it, you can here: https://ralian.itch.io/pactory

The itch.io version I uploaded today is identical to the one I uploaded here yesterday, but if you are rating the game, stick to the compo rules and run the version I uploaded here yesterday.

Pactory by Ralian 2023-10-02T17:12:35Z

@txomin Happy to have angered you! @alec Thanks, I am quite proud of how the grabbing physics turned out, since I scripted all that myself! Some objects are jankier than others, I think scaled objects (esp. cows) are handled poorly @woona I like your strategy, but I will never hire you to move anything of mine!!!

Magus of the Leylines by TrebleColby 2023-10-02T16:43:10Z

Fun little puzzles and a non-zero amount of social commentary? Awesome!

I like the part where you burn down someone's house to clear space for a mini-mall.
