LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

A Walk To The Finish Line by jk5000 2017-12-21T15:20:56Z

Really fun game, i enjoyed playing this.

Very cool to see multiple levels in and offered more then just a quick slice of the game

also like seeing other people use ue4 for there games ;)

The Catnip Sniper by SkullPixel 2017-12-06T20:59:27Z

Very cool idea and concept. Well executed, once you get the hang on how the cats move the game becomes much more addictive. Trying to shut the doors have perfect risk vs reward. great job

Bob the conqueror by Thijs Tak 2017-12-08T20:06:37Z

was a cool game to play, felt like the music was out of place but didnt take away from the game at all. Good job

Runaway Corruption by Move127 2017-12-17T01:21:24Z

This is really cool and even more impressive as a compo entry.

Robby & Coppy by Imphenzia 2017-12-07T15:56:59Z

This is one of the better more complete games i have played so far, trying to resist the temptation to collect all the coins while avoiding the law was soo much fun

Liked your post of new drawings for the game as well

Hasempfeffer by fishbrain 2017-12-14T01:17:05Z

Nice game dude, bowling ball sound was the winner

Air Pressure by zgragselus 2017-12-09T02:07:26Z

totally different from anything else i have seen so far. good job

LORD BASKETBALL by designernap 2017-12-21T15:35:56Z

nice game, and a very different take on the theme. Loved the comments when you miss.

i think if you upped the speed of the game would feel better, or moved the spot you started from

i enjoyed it

BetArena by BathPirate 2017-12-07T11:01:21Z

loved playing this, loved the neon and the music. great retro/tron game

Anxiety by BBrown 2017-12-07T11:09:35Z

shame you ran out of time, but thats the cool thing of a jam, you now have an idea and instant feedback on what works and what doesn't. I echo a lot of the things being said before. Nice work

Sea Wars: Piratefront by Ogniok 2017-12-06T21:11:01Z

wow, this is such an amazing game for a jam. Love that art and just when you start to question how it fits the theme it smacks you in the face for thinking that, which is exactly the point of this theme! well done to you.

definitely one i am playing again later

Give Me a Pound My Friend by KriskyD 2017-12-06T23:18:13Z

Fits the theme well and took me back to micro machines with the art style and camera view

thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Catch for cash by flip120 2017-12-07T11:16:49Z

Wow what a cool looking game! animations and sounds are spot on.

I did get caught a lot just going through a door so it was a bit of a luck thing, I would say this would need addressing as it got frustrating.

great job, look forward to the post jam version

Reaper Boy LD40 Edition by jessefreeman 2017-12-07T11:29:45Z

really really good game, very fun to play and have recommended to others to give a go. great work!

Parent Simulator by Arputikos 2017-12-08T17:14:52Z

nice little game, gets repetitive quick but as the difficulty gets more challenging it strangely keeps you hooked. Interested to see if you could add anything else to keep it interesting.

like giving them something to distract them for a period of time or food instead of milk or they need changing/cleaning up

Bee Rush by FDR 2017-12-08T20:05:20Z

this is a good fun game, Nice work dude

Party Penguin by LiquidBrain 2017-12-05T23:41:21Z

haha i thought i was alright at this game until i went on the dance floor with more then 2 buttons, great fun and dancing penguins for the double win

Food Fight by PonchoGuy 2017-12-07T10:53:41Z

This game made me hungry! It as definitely hard going in the start but after a few goes you start to get a better feel for it.

the art style is simple but looks good

good job and a nice game

Santa's Factory by SaraMartins 2017-12-21T15:28:11Z

nice use of theme and seasonal as well! its cool to see you fix some of the issues people brought up in earlier reviews of the game

Good work all round

TOO MANY CATS! by ramza 2017-12-07T11:12:29Z

all the meows!!! there are a few cat games i have played and this is one of the better ones

loved the dog clearing the cats!

Globstopper by James Dunlap 2017-12-07T17:52:43Z

not usually my kind of game, but was fun, seemed to manage the first level ok but the next one was well beyond me

i did struggle moving the ship around and i didnt feel in control as even the slightest movement or adjustment sent me flying

Santa's Delivery Service by Bizbud 2017-12-08T02:28:40Z

On theme for the jam and the time of year! well done, bonus points for you

Who Ate My Pizza? by UnidayStudio 2017-12-06T12:17:53Z

The pizza box's are hard to spot when your trying to rate the camera quickly. It was frustrating as well that when you picked up a box it could still be eaten while you move to a cabinet to feed the rats.

over all a fun game still and definitely got harder the more guests you had

Deck the Hauls by DrunkardWolf 2017-12-08T20:09:48Z

it feels like there is just a little something missing from this game, I agree with @jamioflan that another way to avoid suspicion would be good and with that it might take this up a level

still over all it was fun and on theme and seasonal too!

Tony Hawk's Hatchback Stunt Simulator: Ghost Protocol by Eli Delventhal 2017-12-21T15:32:12Z

i could not stop blowing up my cars, great fun. it took me awhile to figure out how to actually play but all in all good fun

Justify the Means by Goat Toaster Games 2017-12-07T11:40:52Z

I liked the look of this game and its ace to see you fixing issues for people as they pop up and love the fact your honest about what you wanted to achieve and are keen to do more with it. Great work

Pancakes! by oxrock 2017-12-06T23:42:45Z

couldnt catch more then 2 pancakes! so well done to those who could do more then that

Hell-A Work by kukiri 2017-12-07T11:33:38Z

really fun and which is odd for a job about being in an office! love it overall with the stand outs of the art style and music

Trashsucker by Hugimugi7 2017-12-06T15:31:30Z

hit the nail on the head @moski

i echo these points especially the name sounding like a wrestler, i see a DLC new character looking like someone straight out of the WWE!

Quantum's Rick by cortexdeveloper 2017-12-07T11:07:08Z

wow man nicely done

BOOTY LOOTER! by MrLeePerry 2017-12-15T15:49:13Z

Love the idea of this game, we did something similar with the stacking of the items collected with people saved by hero, but i think yours actually looks cooler by not being able to see the character

The planks moving and sinking worked great. really enjoyed playing this game. Great work

Fruit Hater by SanyingLi 2017-12-08T02:26:20Z

fun mechanic but a little on the short side

but the faces made me laugh

Can't Save Them All! by Robert Newman 2017-12-06T01:06:08Z

There is an option to set the inverted controls, And in game pressing start you can switch between normal and inverted (can you tell the team was split between which they preferred lol)

Can't Save Them All! by Robert Newman 2017-12-07T11:19:35Z

@cortexdeveloper sorry dude, it was almost 2am here in the uk and wanted sleep so when the files wouldnt up load i just quickly put links up.

but now they are fixed and up properly.

loved your game by the way! nice job

Can't Save Them All! by Robert Newman 2017-12-07T11:21:08Z

Wow thanks for the good feedback @unidaystudio

really appreciate the help spreading the word on our game

Shooting Shadows by Sanvar 2017-12-15T15:38:58Z

Wicked sound effects, very cool game with a good use of the theme

Captain Capsize by Lance Krasniqi 2017-12-07T10:41:14Z

This idea is great, ace mechanic, really great art and fits the theme perfectly. definitely will be playing this again later

Sunburn by Shimmen 2017-12-08T20:08:00Z

i like how you have come up with something different for the theme, good job

Retro Rocket Run! by gwolf86 2017-12-17T01:13:44Z

Really fun game with an obvious previously mentioned issue. After a few goes i almost got used to the lag but its was still an issue

Overall though a great job done

Noisy Thief by CapitanLiteral 2017-12-08T22:20:07Z

Fun use of the theme. good game

Clean this mess ! by Diblow 2017-12-06T21:24:25Z

This looks a great game and fits the theme well. It just seemed there was too much to do. let alone too many people, and then even those you served well would knock stuff over on there way out the place. nice idea though maybe just a few too many mechanics in straight away.

Others have picked up on the lag on pointer and there being no real margin for error on where you dropped things.

Feed Them by Fis 2017-12-21T15:22:59Z

really cool game, loved the art style and the cleaver interpretation of theme

Lil' Justin's Fame Escape by spierek 2017-12-13T16:02:52Z

This was a very cool idea and well executed. love how you start being stealthy trying to get from concert to concert yet then becomes almost a speed runner trying to dodge groupies.

would be cool to see different types of fans who slow you down in different ways

great job to your team

Runaway Magic by SerpentWorks Games 2017-12-17T01:16:55Z

Is the mushrooms a hint? do they help the game take on all new meaning lol

Love the music and really fun game

Make It Home by Andrew Brotherton 2017-12-08T22:23:34Z

dont drink and drive kids, its never going to be this fun

Beware the Slime by SophieM 2017-12-05T23:30:08Z

love the UI and menu in this game, as others have said shame i was on my own when testing other games

Ice Cream Island by spaceturtle 2017-12-05T23:28:02Z

great fun game, once i got used to controls it made me keep going, only managed 8 ice creams though! might need to chase those last 2

Stealy by Grentacular 2017-12-08T02:27:40Z

This was a fun game, definitely something i will try again later after i have played some more LD40 games

Robin Loot by zanzavar 2017-12-06T15:43:57Z

really fun to play but would of loved to have been able to steal the paintings off the wall (if you can then ignore this i just sucked at it)

I agree with the above comment about the sneaking past dogs needs refining but the base mechanic works well.

also to stop people repeatedly throwing items each on could have a damage vs value ratio, so the more times you drop an item them more risk of damaging that item and losing its re sell value

overall a really fun game and one i might play again later

DRAGLUTTONY by Reality Blind 2017-12-21T16:31:07Z

The art style is brilliant and the game play has all the makings of a sweet game with some tweaks. by adding a super food that gives extra would be a cool addition

Attack of the Elvis by Tessa 2017-12-07T11:05:47Z

just fun to play, plain and simple. good work dude

Too Much Slime! by Kizzyman 2017-12-13T01:22:12Z

I struggled with the jump and fire, some times it worked other times it didn't send me high enough. The sound loop is a little short and gets a bit too much, Nice idea with the slime though and was still a fun platformer

Obligatory Christmas game :D by Beege1 2017-12-09T15:09:09Z

well balanced and fun, fits the theme perfectly. Nice Job

Fishing Day by VictorSimoes 2017-12-06T21:03:46Z

This game was really fun to play and had me playing for a good 20 minutes. only small thing and i think someone else mentioned it some small animation on catching a fish would of really added to the sense of achievement of the game

For The Tribe by Michael Gor 2017-12-07T10:59:56Z

A nice puzzle game, could see it being developed further. Agree with a lot of the other comments that a little more clarity would help but its a games jam and we all miss things and then face palm later when we overlook something

was fun to play and that is the main thing, nice art style too, good job

Type Them Down by Angelonias 2017-12-15T15:36:41Z

This is was super fun and completely different from other games i have played or seen from this jam.

turns out my typing speed needs improvement! i could see this being a cool little educational game with some tweaking of the art style.

Good job
