LD54 — Limited Space

RatTrap by JCMonkey 2023-10-03T06:11:02Z

cool mood. the lighting was really neat and really gave you the feeling of being in a dungeon. it took be a while to realize I could carry torches, but the idea of having minecarts as a light source so that you have to follow them is pretty neat.

This game is really addicting!! It took a while to understand how to connect the rails so that the product flowed, but once you get the hang of it, it's intuitive and super satisfying. I was definitely bopping to the music. I did notice that sometimes the generators spawned at the edge of the map and generated in the direction of the border where you couldn't build any rails. Maybe if the player could change the direction of the generator it would avoid this? Also, I had generators spawning in the direction of a previously set up rail as well, which sent the product to the wrong receiver. It would be really helpful if there was some sort of method to delete rails you set down to prevent this bug. Overall, I really liked it! I'll come back to play it again :)

@anciententity ohh you're so right. I missed that!

DARQY by Euler Moises 2023-10-03T02:35:02Z

awesome sound design! I liked the idea of navigating what you can't see using sound feedback. Very cool. p.s. darqy might see better if he wasn't wearing sunglasses indoors :p

Less is Moore by Aurailus 2023-10-03T05:27:28Z

not a surprise - this game is super fun! nice mix of challenging, and still easy to understand. The dialogue being hilarious is a huge plus. And the graphics - wow!

back at it with a killer game.

brb while I find out where I can buy a DogPhone(tm)

Inside Out by Matootsy 2023-10-05T06:06:31Z

Wow this is gorgeous! I LOVE the idea of having to shrink smaller to get through small spaces. Unfortunately I couldn't make it past tutorial 2 - it might be a skill issue though. The blackhole on the bottom left part of the screen would always pop before I could get to it after retrieving the far right one. The graphics and idea is super cool though! The atmosphere is reminiscent of this mobile game I loved to play, GlowFish.

A Fishy Kinda Fear by cyphix 2023-10-03T02:27:28Z

was a little unclear how to get the first doors open with the red dots. the fishman was an original and cool design though!

Natura by DzejPi 2023-10-03T04:40:57Z

it was fun learning what you can harvest while managing the quickly changing seasons. I didn't see the items menu at first because I had my browser minimized. Overall was a good time planting flowers and building structures.

Space Brigade by Adam Gallina 2023-10-03T03:11:34Z

the game was really fun to play. I enjoyed planning which planets to land on to conserve energy. the messages received when hovering over items made it clear what everything does. Wasn't sure if it was intended that the alien home world was always charged at 60% and never changed.

Space Knight by darzu 2023-10-05T05:24:25Z

loved the concept! I found it really fun managing the space physics. Soaring through the stars was really cool. Unfortunately I feel like in my playthrough I disproportionally had more ore than oxygen and so my ship ran out of air once I couldn't see any more oxygen molecules. Great game overall!

Confession Room by Dijkstra 2023-10-03T02:45:59Z

really intriguing start to the game. The mood is pretty neat and I enjoyed the graphics

Jambulance by NuiN 2023-10-05T03:07:51Z

someone revoke my license. I think I took more lives than I saved lol.

I enjoyed how the music got increasingly faster, really felt the speed. One thing I thought that would've helped was if there some sort of damage meter to keep track of how beat up the ambulance is. Very theme fitting, and great game overall!

Free Him by Rena 2023-10-03T03:48:59Z

@adam-gallina cheers! 😄 hope to make more in the future

Free Him by Rena 2023-10-03T03:50:18Z

@posshydra haha thank you! in retrospect I probably spent too much time on the salmon tbh. messed around with the wall jump for a while so that's understandable

Free Him by Rena 2023-10-04T01:19:13Z

@bogotolec haha yea I realized that shortly before I submitted it. There's definitely a sneaky way to exit right from the top of the iceberg :spy:

Free Him by Rena 2023-10-04T01:21:30Z

@jcmonkey yea :') unfortunately I ran out of time to implement the end of the game, and so I also didn't have time for more levels. I would like to complete it though. Thanks for playing!

Free Him by Rena 2023-10-04T01:22:50Z

@dzejpi thanks for the review! Yea I enjoyed messing around with the physics. The easy exit, if you're talking about leaving the iceberg from the top, was definitely not intentional 😂 cheers!

Free Him by Rena 2023-10-05T02:36:38Z

@mina thank you so much! yea I'm happy with the movement as well, it was super fun to get that working. appreciate you playing and reviewing my game!

Free Him by Rena 2023-10-05T02:37:26Z

@nuin Thank you sm for playing! :)

Free Him by Rena 2023-10-05T02:41:40Z

@darzu hahaha gotta have a hook in the description, ya know? No unfortunately, I just didn't have time to redesign the level better to make it more challenging :')

Free Him by Rena 2023-10-05T02:43:07Z

thank you sm @wook !! I'm glad you thought it was fun to play even though it's not fully finished! Ty for freeing Slippy 🐧

Free Him by Rena 2023-10-05T02:45:34Z

@anciententity that's actually a good point. It's probably better to make the spikes look more threatening than harmless snow. Thanks for the congrats!! :)

Super Amazing Lighthouse Repair Crew by jusentari 2023-10-03T05:03:51Z

really cool idea! I like how you lose the towers if you leave them in the tide and that you have to play a tetris-like mini game fitting them onto the raft. As others have said, it was a little unclear in the beginning figuring out what to do with your engineer, but once you figure it out it was a good experience.

Spooky Escape by BigAl 2023-10-03T05:44:53Z

really beautiful graphics! I liked the idea of the space slowly closing in on you, but it would be cool if there were other repercussions other than having less space to move in. Maybe it would keep closing in until you lose? Also it would be cool if your high score would display once you lose. Great first game jam entry though!

Berg Jump by jds 2023-10-04T01:16:05Z

super fun gameplay! The ice physics were awesome

Berg Jump by jds 2023-10-05T05:38:05Z

I loved this idea so much. Really creative take on the theme of limited space! The physics of the slippery icebergs was super cool and I liked how the icebergs spawned in groups. Playing as a penguin was a big plus too:p

Fishpile by mina 2023-10-05T03:01:01Z

This was super fun to play! I love the effort put into the graphics, sound, and music. I got so excited when I saw that there was a cut scene and even a buying system with the mermaid shop! This is a game to be really proud of.

brb while I recover from the series of heart attacks I felt whenever a fish bounced out of my boat.

Blashout by mncc8337 2023-10-05T06:19:09Z

I'm not sure if it was the device I have, or if its just the HTML5 version, but the light was so laggy that I couldn't really see the ghosts I was doing damage too, much less move. I really liked the graphic colour choices, and the idea of the random skills was awesome! That made this 10x more fun having a sort-of skill roulette. It would be cool if the skills stacked so you would become this invincible ghost killing machine. My strategy was standing in the middle and just circling the light around me :)

A Bug's Wife by Aurailus 2024-10-15T00:03:09Z

Yippie!! Loved the art style of the frogs - so cute! Another fun and polished game <3
