LD46 — Keep it alive

Dog's Best Friend by MattWoelk 2020-04-22T18:04:53Z

I can finally comment again!

Ok so: First of all, super cute style and theme. I love the dog's animation and sound when walking. Gameplay was intuitive, although I was a bit confused by the icons at the start of the game. Felt like they should have had button symbols under them. Besides that, everything was easy to understand and smooth. It definitively feels like something that can be expanded upon. It would end up being a balancing act so that the player feels like they have agency (since they're not the main character), that it doesn't feel like a prolonged escort quest, while still keeping the theme and style you already have. Would be even cooler if eventually it could be co-op.

Anyways! Super fun, super cute, very smooth.

Really cool art and style! The browser version lagged a lot on my laptop, but the download was a bit smoother. Despite it maybe not being completely finished, what is in the game is well polished and feels good. Noticed that the Accusation button popped up when my killer showed on screen and I found the weapon, which was a little obvious. It would also be good to have more indication of which room is which.

Overall a pretty fun game!

My poor robot slipped through the floor, but at least the human is breathing now

Starship & Hull by Mastoast 2020-04-21T02:27:24Z

Cool idea, and I love that it's voice acted. Got a bit stuck in the tutorial, when it wouldn't move past the moving phase.

I found the camera really jittery and kinda nauseating. Rotating around the ship tended to snap the camera and force me to loose track of what direction I was moving.

Otherwise really cool concept!

@beasrabbit Thank you! I'll add that to our post jam bug list C;

@orlandobatista Thank you!

Olive and Kale by Rea 2020-04-22T01:58:01Z

@satiatedgumiho Thank you! I hope we can get a tutorial done at some point in the future, because that seems to be a common issue with players. Hard to tell what's going to be obvious or not sometimes when you already know everything in game.

I'll add the prompts bug into our list, lol.

Olive and Kale by Rea 2020-04-22T01:59:18Z

@loopypicklehead A tutorial was definitely needed. Probably should have at least given a more mechanics based description on the launch page. Hopefully in the future we can polish it! Thank you!

@jerripo Thank you, and congrats!

@virtuaworlds Thank you!

Olive and Kale by Rea 2020-04-23T02:44:04Z

@ryano Thank you! If we continue it we'll for sure have to work on the gameplay feedback and UI

@francisco-caal Thanks! The plants die if they dont have water, or are over watered (over watered soil is red). They also die from weeds if you don't weed them once they grow to their half stage. UI for sure needs some work.

@karreg Thank you! Hopefully if we decide to continue we'll be able to make the UI more obvious so it's easier to pick up

@starlet Thank you so much!

@santiago-lafosse Thank you!

@barret Yeah the timers are pretty punishing if you don't know what to do exactly. There's a way to "speed run" with more than half the time remaining, so we worried about it being too easy. An oversight it seems like

@junebug Thank you! Yeah over watering can be a little hard to see sometimes. Something to work on later!

Olive and Kale by Rea 2020-04-23T23:01:42Z

@cobear25 something is in the works, but not sure when it will be up! Keep an eye out—we'll post something when it's done.

Eclipse - Chip Hunt by ToxicHouse 2020-04-21T02:10:43Z

Satisfyingly slippery controls, if that's even a thing. I also liked that adding chips made your oxygen supply increase—I just wish it was a bigger map, so that mattered more. Pretty cool, and seems like a fun base for a bigger game.

Eclipse - Chip Hunt by ToxicHouse 2020-04-22T02:07:16Z

@toxichouse some sort of enemy or obstacle that guards further from the ship might be a fun mechanic. More upgrades for your suit that you have to find or craft with something besides chips could be fun too, as some way of adding more progression to the game. Different "biomes" would be interesting in a larger map too. Maybe like an asteroid belt that requires careful navigation but rewards with crafting material. Or gas clouds that make the radar range much shorter, etc. With a bigger map you can balance the survival aspect with the exploration genre. If you've ever played Outer Wilds, it has a lot of cool space exploration aspects for inspiration. Especially if you eventually want to add celestial body mechanics.
