LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Eight More Drinks, Please by rplnt 2017-12-12T22:11:29Z

It did not start in Chromium on Ubuntu. But the idea looks very nice and the graphics on the screeshot look sweet.

CARnage by Rolle 2017-12-06T17:07:55Z

A mix of mario kart and carmageddon. it is fun :)

Brick Racer by nekoballs 2017-12-06T17:02:26Z

Starts on linux but it does not react on clicks so you can't start a game. If you want to shut it down Alt F4 does not work. Neither did a normal kill or killall. Only kill -9 ended it. Pressing keys does not work either.

Super Mailman by 0xDD 2017-12-07T08:39:03Z

Super Mario with physics like in angry birds. I like the ability to use switches to on / off stuff. But I got stuck in the third level, could just move 2 boxes over the barrier and lava see.

Chuck Norris will Make America Great Again by paulhocker 2017-12-13T16:34:33Z

Made murica great again. But one round house kick should have been enough :P. This is small lovely game. I like the weapon upgrades :).

Super goblin tower by uchiro 2017-12-07T19:33:05Z

I assumed because of the title, this would be a tower defence. Man was I wrong. I love the sound effects. But I did not make it past 23 meters. Is the moon realy made of cheese, so the poor gobos won't do all this for nothing?

Graveyard Shift by radmccool 2017-12-07T19:03:45Z

When I noticed that you can't jump high enough to be save from the zombies, when you have to much coins was scary. A small funny game, nicely done :).

SUPER COP HERO by Finlal 2017-12-07T19:07:54Z

This is game is super hard but fun. Move around fast enough, because the first hit will kill you.

The Peddler by AndrewBallinger 2017-12-06T22:57:29Z

Now I know how the poor merchants in Oblivion and Skyrim must have felt. Thank you for sharing this insight :P

Rattletrap VR by _for_science 2017-12-05T20:19:23Z

It is a pity that I don't own a VR set. I would love to try out this game.

Rattletrap VR by _for_science 2017-12-08T23:28:26Z

Tested it today with hardware of friends. This is a great game with lots of fun. It is real fun to shoot this nasty robots while you have realy to pick up the stuff they destroyed. You have to be fast. I realy like you can play it in a room without teleporting, it feels so ... real.

Booyah Bass by Caffeinated Psychics 2017-12-13T16:29:38Z

Over 8900 Points... miau! Liked the sound track and the game art. The game over screen is realy nice. And the game made me hungry, I am going to cook now^^.

Risky Robbery by Markus 2017-12-11T16:14:16Z

This game looks promising, but I just got 3 FPS (AMD 380 4GB, i5 2320, 8 GB RAM). Using Ubuntu 16.04 64 Bit, Chromium 62, open source drivers.

Hungry Dino by nax_89 2017-12-07T08:17:23Z

The music and the sound effects are perfect. I realy love platt formers and puzzle games. This is one realy sweet with the lovely dinosaur animations. Took me some time to figure out you have to eat everything not just the cave me. Only thing I would change: the controlls. Most people are used to press space to jump.

Busted! An Epic Cops Vs Robbers Endless Runner! by CaylebLucas 2017-12-12T15:37:51Z

Nice game, made it through 5 stars but then got catched, does the game end if you have 5 stars and a certain amount of cash? Or is 5 stars just the maximum speed?

Critical Mass by Mads 2017-12-11T16:08:39Z

I love space and gravity so this was a lot of fun for me. Even got some planets in a semi stable orbit around me. But after a few minutes it was for fun to devour all matter then avoid it. :P

To the glory of the great North Korea by Jonasz999 2017-12-17T09:47:35Z

Very good choice, my supreme leader :D. Fun game, even if I died because I did not notice the enemies coming from 4 directions. The web version of the game is a bit slow.

Starbage Man by BryceLTaylor 2017-12-14T08:27:58Z

Man I like the humor of the game. You are the captain... and due budget cuts the complete crew. The mood of the game is great, also that you have different play modes :). But I did not die but accidentally flying in the black hole. Anyway this game is fun :).

Collect More Precious by Derek Brouwer 2017-12-07T18:47:00Z

Made it to the end on the second try. Sprinting realy help a lot. For the main model: try to generate some interpolated normals. Makes the shading much nicer :). I recommend the opensource freeware meshlab for it.

Panic Blocks by Darkfire92 2017-12-12T22:10:08Z

I think I am to stupid for this game. But hey at least a few blocks got destroyed. And the poor octo got just one on his head.

Run Guys by arron-fowler 2017-12-07T12:37:43Z

The website did not load the game on firefox quantum 57 on windows 7.

Run Guys by arron-fowler 2017-12-11T21:39:44Z

I liked this game, it just gets realy hard. Sometimes there is a small stutter in the web version in chromium / unbuntu 16.04 / i5 2300 / 8 GB / amd 380 4GB

Keep going... you have my interest by Zebraltar 2017-12-13T16:23:06Z

I am to stupid to find the coin. Found both keys and tried to find the safe / the drawer to open. Clicked around everywhere and destroyed the whole room. Damn^^. The music is realy nice, the game is a bit slow on my pc (i5 2300, 8GB Ram, 380 GB, chromium, ubuntu 16.04)

This is not a normal village... by rohezal 2017-12-04T20:11:42Z

There is currently a bug if you have an item on slot0 (left top corner) and crafting a new item. A work around is to move items, so you won't have an item on the top left corner of the inventory. I will try to fix it, before the compo is over.

This is not a normal village... by rohezal 2017-12-04T23:52:48Z

Still compiling for html5. UE4 is quite slow in this regard. Hope it will be done until the jam is over.

This is not a normal village... by rohezal 2017-12-07T16:35:27Z

@drtizzle done :). there was a bug in a third party library which is use which is now fixed. i hope it is no against the rule to update later a library you used (which is not your own).

This is not a normal village... by rohezal 2017-12-07T18:35:41Z

The web version takes ages to start, I realy recommend to download the window binary and start it. It may be even smaller, since it uses 7zip on max settings.

This is not a normal village... by rohezal 2017-12-07T19:36:40Z

Thank you for the reports. I will try to confirm this with an other PC. If there are problems I will remove the html5 version.

This is not a normal village... by rohezal 2017-12-07T21:45:08Z

"This game is really scary and super wierd."

Thank you, this is the intention :).

"The part of the story I heard was super strange, and it did not make much sense." In my play tests, after 5 minutes the players found out what is going on (not all details but the general story). But my test players were my friends. Maybe this is the problem, they know me for too long and know how I think.

The idea is: You have to guess who or better what you are and for who you work. Like the title says, this is not a normal village ;)

"There are clearly something interesting and mysterious about this game" Thank you

"I would have preferred a smaller and more polished game."

In my opinion you need a certain size of the game to make it fun. If everything is in one house, it is boring because you can find everything too easy. There is more audio and text then used in this game, I would have prefered a bit bigger, but time limits are time limits.

"I know have I collected stuff that never got into my inventory."

This is a real bug. Did you craft anything? What OS are you using? There is a bug in a third party lib which is mentioned in the tutorial, when you craft something and the first item slot is full. But this bug was fixed in the latest version, which I will upload tomorrow (I hope fixing bugs in third party libs is not against the rules).

"And the stuff I got in my inventory, I never found anything to use them for."

Maybe it is because my friends love games like heavy rain, monkey island and deponia, but they sometimes even guessed which items they would need to solve a problem, even before they found this items.

What kinds of game do you play? Would it help if useable items would be highlighted like pickup items?

And thank you for your feedback, it is realy appreciated.

This is not a normal village... by rohezal 2017-12-08T08:43:25Z

"just like your friends i love games heavy rain, and monkey island, and then I love weird indie games, strategy games and a lot of other kind of games." @jk5000

Okay than the difficulty is too hard, even for point and click players. Maybe the outlines of stationary items will help.

"It was well written though, so it was fine." @notpresident35

Thank you a lot :).

"the random teleportation thing, but that happens periodically, not based upon whether you have more"

The teleporting and blurring depends how much time you have spend in the game. And time works different here. There more choices you have influenced, the more time has gone (+ normal flow of time).

"I would have preferred the game if it got steadily brighter and brighter, instead of turning it super bright and then back to normal periodically."

This was one idea, including slowing the player down with time, but I thought there would be too many problems with the game play if you can't see properly. Maybe I could have other things like putting items back where they were found, do some damage to the player which he has to heal or be slowed or something. I agree with you that the theme was implemented not visible enough in the game. Spending more time and affecting choices should have harder consequences. But I tried to scare the player and at least for my friends it worked.

By the way there are bad endings, which happen after 30 minutes (of our real time). Thank you for your feedback :).

This is not a normal village... by rohezal 2017-12-09T10:00:26Z

@Ace17 thank you for asking. It is a flag about the maximum ram a thread can malloc. If you want to try here is the link to the HTML5 version :).

This is not a normal village... by rohezal 2017-12-13T08:55:37Z

@zgragselus For next Jam there will be most likely a partner. She will do most of the writing and will draw some nice pictures for the ending. So the next jam will be more polished.

@furet The well is a red hering. One way to solve this game is to rescue people (the other is to do nothing). To rescue people you have to listen to the hints. The fishing rod with the magnet helps you to get the key to house with the child in front of the door. Try to use it on the second floor. The fake poison can be used to save Richard. Have you found to the piece of wood needed to repair the crib? The screenshots are designed to show items, which are not in the game, or at least not at the place showed :D.

This is not a normal village... by rohezal 2017-12-13T23:27:35Z

@pogo There will be a post jam version which fixes that. You can skip the talking and look it up in a journal. It is almost ready :).

This is not a normal village... by rohezal 2017-12-16T08:46:17Z

@fangzhangmnm True, some of the assets were even done be myself. But I was not sure and wanted to play fair :).

@lucas-ferrantelli Thank you, but the game is not polished enough. There will be a version 2.0 which will be way nicer :).

To the other side by cosarara 2017-12-14T19:44:58Z

A bit like Zelda with instant dead. A bit too hard for me, but nice for someone who likes challenging games. Maybe add an easy mode with 3 hitpoints? Nice game :)

Cursest Dungeon by Dupix 2017-12-07T16:42:32Z

It was hard to get to the rope, your collision detection seems a bit buggy to me. But it is a nice little game, where you collect treasures and bring them back. The level design must have been some work, there are some nice details, like the skull in spikes.

Water Your Melons by Kciwsolb 2017-12-06T17:13:31Z

Nice idea, but there is no way of winning. You have to explore more to find more water. So you not be able to reach the melons in time. A kind of "you must fail" version of tetris. Even if you play only with one water melon which is next to the lake. You can't just take water from the lake. Maybe it is an ocean or I am overthinking this.

But it is realy nicely done. The art is good, the sound is lovely and the animations of popping up tiles are well done. It is not my type of game but it was created with skill :).

The Next Floor by Activdesign 2017-12-07T08:03:57Z

I am to stupid to find the dangerous portals. Are they a bit of in animation / start the animation a bit later then the sound? This is a bit confusing.

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

NOPE by icxon 2018-12-05T22:03:17Z

This game remembers me a bit about the lost vikings. but a darker top down version of it. very well done.

The Temple of Falala by JCMonkey 2018-12-03T22:53:35Z

Got to the blue key. Nice voice overs :). I did not sacrifice more than 40 people. Just want to save the village. Taking more damage seems to be the better path than taking more life. Maybe increase the health bonus to 5 per sacrified villager?

Learn to be a self stopper! by DMajor 2018-12-09T21:19:03Z

Nice idea, good joke in the end. But there is something missing. Like actually driving around. You are just seeing a short clip and then decide. The topic is pretty important, I actually wrote some academic object recognition and pose estimation software for autonomous agriculture vehicles, where some test objects where children, playing hide and seek next to a tractor. Good people are talking about this.

TAMUTU by dietzribi 2018-12-09T21:06:47Z

Where can I change the time to wait in the JS script ;) ?

http://v6p9d9t4.ssl.hwcdn.net/html/1175280/html5game/TAMUTU.js?BELAC=674626213

But for real, a very nice and challenging game. I love games like Zelda and Paradious. And this game is just got bosses which are unique, got a good AI and and challenging abilities. Maybe a temporary single field blocker like fire or a burning curse where you have to jump into water would be a nice addition. But anyhow this game is awesome and one of the most fun games in this LD:). Very nice work.

Who was the final boss? The father, trying to kill the son? The son killing himself? The son in a dream, not noticing the father killing him?

Together by beta 2018-12-10T18:06:19Z

pics.jpg

Thank you for this nice game with relaxing background music. But why does the wife not get a job, when the family is starving, freezing and can't affort medicine? Maybe the grand parents could look after the children while you are working if it is a life or dead situation.

Reap what you sow by ursagames 2018-12-12T20:50:10Z

A pirate stole 12 food a few day before winter. Damned almost made it. Btw. you should realy add a fox, meat and panties to this game :laughing:

Edit: After 3 times I finally made it through the winder with over 80 crops left. It is a realy good idea to sacrifice to the mighty bear god :smile: . It is a nice and relaxing game. And reminds me a bit of harvest moon. But with a slightly a darker tone.

Reap what you sow by ursagames 2018-12-14T00:04:14Z

Today was our weekly evening. 20 beers, 3 people (welcome to Germany) and new games. My friends realy liked your game (we beat it!) and your twitch stream. One of them will follow your twitch and all love your relaxed and friendly character :smiley:

Suicide Sanctum by Hagge 2018-12-08T22:32:50Z

Nice riddles, took me some time to beat level 5. For the spikes only level, maybe add a life limit, so you have to think where you want to die instead of just creating a road of corpses. I like this game :). Btw. it is a bit slow on Ubuntu 16.04 with Chromium 70.0. Maybe it does not use the GPU. Can Play Pillars of Eternity 2 on this Box quite fine.

Deadline of the Dead by _for_science 2018-12-03T18:41:13Z

Download Links please :)

Deadline of the Dead by _for_science 2018-12-05T21:01:53Z

This game is extremly hilarious. Unblocking questionable websites, hiding last quarters reports, shredding workers complaints :D. Is there a difference between the clean and smelly toilet? And if there would be a deadline and only undead things around me, I would know how to speed up my work. Poor office plants though :pig:

Fist of Wrath by vlandemart 2018-12-09T10:46:24Z

In hard Level 1 and Science Level in html5 the people stayed in lines and did not move.

Funny concept, a bit like an evil version of black and white. More good powers would be good. Like a shield, or a fire or an illness, slowing down people. Maybe give them for destroying build X or load them by X cooled people. Some shared cooldowns and some distinct cooldowns / charge bars for different ability classes would add a lot to this game.

I liked this game btw. it was original and fun (and I beat it!). Does the regeneration rate depends on the numbers of humans on the screen?

Story question: What could the humans sacrifice to please you? Maybe there over expansion / population growth?

Baldaquin 9 - I chose life by marcellus 2018-12-05T20:22:12Z

One of the best games in this ludum dare. It is deep and very good. The roller skates were quite hard. Good that I got 5 seconds more :)

We Fight "Together"! by StratosKakalis 2018-12-05T19:53:35Z

The music fits realy well. The idea is silly, like a Monty Python sketch :). Maybe add some skill to the aiming. Wind, a force field which has only a small hole in it which gets smaller over hp loss and of maybe some moving protection like flying shields. So you have too improve yourself. The game is fun :).

@marcellus I am very sorry to hear that. A big download like this should come with an installer which can redownload corrupted chunks. Sorry for the 8 hours, before I moved to the city I got slow internet too. I know how this feels :(.

I read the damn UE4 manual twice, maybe there is a way to decrease the filesize dramaticly. I am working outside this week, but after it, the repacking can start this Friday. Hopefully it is not against the rules to repack a game without chaning anything.

@juutis Thank you for your detailed feedback. The diaries tell one story from different perspectives. Not everybody knows everything. I hoped I implemented it correctly. If you found a bug / mistake could you report it to me? I want to thank you again for your accurate playing and reading all the character backgrounds :).

Wizard Malikens spell failed by rohezal 2018-12-06T22:44:42Z

@juutis you are absolutly correct. Should have had a person proof read the diaries. But maybe they were just drunk when they wrote them. The smallis minor, but a bit strange. Thank you a lot for pointing this out. Looks like a version 1.1 after LD is over.

Fixed packing issue, reduced filesize by 80% to 1.3G

Wizard Malikens spell failed by rohezal 2018-12-09T17:52:45Z

@justcamh Thank you for your detailed feedback :).

First: You almost got it. Here is the hint you need to progress and finish the game.

VGFsayB0byB0aGUgZm94IG5leHQgdG8gaG91c2Ugd2hlcmUgeW91IGZvdW5kIHRoZSBtZWF0LiBI ZSBpcyBuZXh0IHRvIGR3ZWxsLiBJIHNob3VsZCBoYXZlIHBsYWNlZCBoaW0gaW4gZnJvbnQgb2Yg dGhlIGhvdXNlLg==

The combination was correct, you can only combine correct items. You got a hint that the bear doesn't like the meat. The idea was to give it to someone else. And the bear does not like the meat combination too ;).

Linear level design is boring IMHO. But you are right, you are a bit lost in this game. Maybe restricted access to areas would be better. There are some restrictions since you walk from house to house and get keyword after keyword. But the start area is too big and you have to much ground to cover. Should have made the start easier.

PS: If you know how I can decrease the filesize in UE4 please tell me. I read lots of tutorials and was able to decrease it by over 80%, but I am stuck at 1.3GB (from 6.7GB). There is a lot of audio, maybe I should convert it from wav to ogg.

Wizard Malikens spell failed by rohezal 2018-12-09T20:26:04Z

@justcamh may I ask if you are from Europe or the US? There seems to be a different culture. I love Gothic and hate TeS Oblivion because of the quest markers. This things lead you directly to all the clues / evindence of a murder case instead of letting yourself explore. And since there are quest markers, they did not leave any actual hints how to obtain the evindence. Just running from point A to B to C without thinking for yourself. I think this is terrible. Elex handles this quite nice, you are able to beat the game without quest markers, but you can enable them. Quite useful if you look for a certain person which wanders around a village, and you would have to search for minutes.

Wizard Malikens spell failed by rohezal 2018-12-10T08:13:51Z

@justcamh I am so sorry that you are my "beta tester" and tell me about poor design decisions. Thank you so much for your feedback. One house has 2 seperated doors on the ground, it is the house right next to Rufus house. Use Rufus key there. Maybe it was a poor choice to have 2 doors with 2 keys for one house.

May I ask where you are from? Just curious.

Wizard Malikens spell failed by rohezal 2018-12-10T12:51:52Z

@justcamh thank you for your feedback, ideas and very constructive critics. It helps me a lot. And I will think about it at the next ludum dare.

Wizard Malikens spell failed by rohezal 2018-12-11T00:14:58Z

@linear thank you for your feed back and your examples with the two doors. It seems like the game has too much possibilities and confuses the player. Maybe it would be better to trap the player the area in the start area and just let her go, when she solved the first riddle. I thought the tutorial made it clear that you have to have an item equipped in your hand slot and you have to combine items. There is a single "hidden" item later in this game and it is mentioned two times, where it is. So I think the problem is the start. Thank you again for your feedback, it helps me a lot. The idea of showing the player what she needs, like a key haning from a chain above her, sounds like a very good idea.

If you want to try it again, you don't have to search any key in this game. And most items are in plain sight. You have to combine some of them. Added a big hint to the description. And will add more hints in game in the post LD version.

@ursagames Thank you for playing it. It is always something different to see someone struggling to finish your own game. And congratulations for beating it, you showed me some design flaws from which I can learn in the future. And remember kids: If something says: "It is dangerous, don't touch it.", do not fxxxxxxxx touch it!

Nourish Nosferatu by drnoir 2018-12-09T10:31:24Z

Some feedback: Found the best blood for the master. Nice setting, a few times you can go behind props and see that there is nothing behind them. I like the big buildings surrounding the plaza, it is well done. Low poly, good for performance and very effectful.

Since we both do UE4 games: Try to use disable movement via the movement component, set input to ui only, display mouse cursor and enable it again when the dialog is over. I also recommend to use ray tracing to check if you clicked on a character to open the menu instead of using a collider. Feels more natural.

It's your life, dude by Guy Withivy 2018-12-08T13:00:26Z

This game is deep. What is more important, love, family or a fun activities? Packed into a fun card game. A good entry :). And I like the sounds.

A bit more description would improve the start a lot :)

It's Me or The Dog by Aravien 2018-12-02T21:05:48Z

This game is a bit like the trolley problem, where you have to decide who you save. But with a person and a dog. Strange concept, but somehow entertaining. My GF is a vegan, I am interessted in her choices.

Altar by Elnu 2018-12-05T21:46:43Z

Nice game, sweet sound effects and nice gfx effects. The webs and the lightning are doing a great job for the ambience. I would have prefered a Zelda or Terranigma style combat system. So you could attack and move. Or slower rotation rates for the spiders.

Dark Villagers by AwiX 2018-12-09T10:54:31Z

This is a very complex you have build in very short time. It is a hard trade between resources and "military" units. Well done. The sound tracks fits quite nice too. But I think it is more of an tower defense than a classical rts.

This game is quite challenging. After several tried I made it to Wave 13.

Dark Villagers by AwiX 2018-12-15T22:51:05Z

How to create more villagers? Click on the black church, it generates a new villager to become a cultist for 25 gold. Needed more than 2 days to figure it out.

Dark Villagers by AwiX 2018-12-18T11:38:33Z

Last comment, your game is realy entertaining. I play it quite often, since I want to beat it. Is there a last wave? Came to wave 22 or 23 at most.

Dark Villagers by AwiX 2018-12-19T22:49:17Z

@mavne Trying to beat this game over a week. And you keep making it harder and harder. Please release an easy version. The current version is way to hard.

Dark Villagers by AwiX 2018-12-23T22:57:14Z

@awix @praleks @mavne @skigfx Your game is too hard :sob:

Can you create an easy mode?

Dark Villagers by AwiX 2018-12-25T23:03:33Z

@praleks @mavne It was wave 21 or 23. I realy like the game, I played it for sure more than 20 times (most likely more than 30 times). It is like a new version of a tower defense. I would love to decide which monster stands in the first line. Is there a last wave, so you win? I prefer games you can win. And that are not to hard (sorry I am a wimp). Please create a "normal" mode and make the current mode the hard mode.

Dark Villagers by AwiX 2019-01-03T10:06:46Z

@skigfx that is nice to hear. please tell me when it is ready to play :)

Alain's Sacrifice by Daniel_Abeleira 2018-12-08T22:49:38Z

I lovely small game. I liked how you increased the difficulty by removing health from the player per level. It took me some time to understand you can destroy projectiles and you don't have to jump over them. And the the traps are not the fire in the background and using magic doesn't cost life.

Firing with the mouse is not my playstyle. Maybe add an alternative key like ctrl or w to fire.

And story question: Do you just have to beat this strange metal creatures? Or do you have to beat them and restore the fertile land. By using the life crystals to let tree and plants grow? If so, why not first beat the metal creatures and then give the crystals to the farmer families? Or do they need them ASAP to produce food and the levels are several months apart? Maybe I am overthinking this.

Happy Meal by wischi 2018-12-03T18:47:38Z

Just 500ü Kilometers was my best try. Damn how big is the south pole? Did not eat the dogs, they are your friends. Why can't you turn around and just go back where you can live happily together? But the game fits the theme extremly well.

Reactor Overdrive by JUSTCAMH 2018-12-09T19:40:44Z

In Version 1.1 I could not find any executeable for linux. Starting the exe file said: "can not execute binary file"

Reactor Overdrive by JUSTCAMH 2018-12-09T20:43:36Z

A small explaination of the game for other players: This game reminds me a bit of Parodius Konami, which I played a lot on the SNES when I was younger. You are fighting enemies in space. But you are stationary and you can't get power ups. Instead you have a certain amount of power and you have to choose to make "more damage" or "have a better shield". Sounds nice, you can even enable some "mega weapon mode" for hard enemies by disabling most of the shields.

But your weapons will overheat. Means you can't shoot after a short time. You can give more power to the cooling system but this means no mega weapons or no shield. A bit like "Deserts Of Kharak" with your main carrier. And you have you can only shoots in the directions of "lighted" areas, which takes energy too.

My opinion: I like the idea. The game is well done, everything works and the programmers art is nice. You fell motivated to beat the shxt out of the bombs, before they reach you. There are different enemy types, and you are very careful to decide what to spend power for. But I died so often, I got a bit angry. When I finaly killed a lot of this blue fxxxxx suddenly some enemies spawned and killed me. But it is fun! :)

Death Metal Crowd Pusher by WizardOfOzzy 2018-12-08T12:50:25Z

It is like evil tetris. The graphics are beautiful and the sound track is gripping. Each time the lead musican transforms into a demon everything rocks. Well done. I just noticed after several games the best strategy is to click randomly as fast as you can. Maybe improve the skill level, but except from this, this game realy rocks :).

CMD JUMP by YetiBytes 2018-12-03T19:06:06Z

The music is very a sad but fits the dark theme. Made it to the second level, but was able to the second jump on after this first red kill zone. I realy like puzzle games like greyout and it reminds me about it. And a bit of typing of the dead. Well done, it is a nice game :).

Gossip by MattWagar 2018-12-05T21:36:12Z

This is more like a movie game than a normal game. You can just continue and you have no choice. Bu the movie is pretty good and the moral is great. Nicely done :).

A full release version could take into account from whom you got the information and how to spread it. If two people sit next to each other they could just talk it out. Maybe some kind of distrust / trust system where you can find out about other people. I realy like the concept of this game.

PeonCraft - Sacrificed by Kornel Meszaros 2018-12-08T12:36:53Z

Small Bug: The wood chopper in the human base is chopping in the wrong direction.

I realy like this game. It reminds me of my War Craft 2 & 3 time. You even made human peons and different orc models. Nicely done :). There are game called Savage (and Savage 2) which are like your game, but as team play 12 vs 12 (plus commanders) games ;).

Loved the idea you modeled your two avatars playing from behind. It would be great if you would have finished the killing animation but we all know how the deadline crawls closer and you don't have time for some minor things

A Starving Monk by Bajtix 2018-12-05T21:13:33Z

I love the hand drawn graphics. And the dry humor. He came there... well... to be a monk. They should have done it like german monks and brew beer to sell it. They made quite some coin with this :).

LD46 — Keep it alive

Living Mandala by wdebowicz 2020-05-02T18:52:18Z

How did you draw the mandela? Are these several images? Are the images mirrored at some axes? Or is it rendered via a formular?

Prototype Towers by marbles 2020-04-22T07:50:47Z

This is a nice turn on normal tower defense games, which I like in general. You have more to do, than you watching the towers.

Maybe add an easy mode: Towers don't get destroyed when they overheat, just cooling down and firing again by themselfs. And let them be repaired before they reached the critical temperature. So the game works better for lazy, slow folks ;).

Birb Island by ursagames 2020-04-26T20:18:15Z

Made it to day 2. Got lazy, waited at a camp fire for more food and then the giant bird attacked. But it was my secret dream since I became 18, to sit nex to a camp fire, inhaling the smoke and then get suddenly inserted into a giant birds rectum. At least this is how I will explain this image to my girl friend if she asks ;) urza.jpg

GhostVac by christina-antoinette-neofotistou 2020-04-25T00:58:02Z

Played it, it reminded me a bit of space cadet, the windows XP flipper. But your game is way more beautiful, realy impressing what you were able todo with fake 3D graphics.

Hive Preserver by _for_science 2020-04-21T19:34:34Z

This is an AVP remake done in 72 hours, where you can only play the Alien and can't climb on the walls. But it is realy fun, the graphics are selfmade and absolutely fantastic for being created in only 72 hours and the game is challenging. A very good entry :).

Come to Mama by Louis hayes greenwood 2020-04-24T19:53:59Z

This is a great puzzle game with lovely graphics. A small bug occured when two monsters were able to eat the baby at same time. I loved lemmings as a kid and this game reminds me of it :).

The Siege of Yggdrasil by rohezal 2020-04-21T09:26:45Z

@logflames thank you so much for your nice comment :). I thought about making Yggdrasil bigger, but was a bit afraid it would increase the hitbox for the crawlers and make the game too hard.

PS: If you beat it, you can try it on hard core mode (100 instead of 150 hitpoints and the orbs heal you only for 10 instead of 20 hitpoints).

The Siege of Yggdrasil by rohezal 2020-04-21T15:18:26Z

@sylvainpv I am f***** impressed that you just walled off the wolfs. I did not even think about it. The crystal has 10 hitpoints, if you hit 10 times will it explode. A lifebar for the crystal would be good for them post jam version.

I am happy you liked the game .:).

The Siege of Yggdrasil by rohezal 2020-04-24T18:36:32Z

@thibaud-ligneul to be honest, i thought the game was to easy. if you win you can play on hardcore mode. you are faster than the wolfes and you can heal yourself. you have to take advance of this. and you have some time before the wolves start. building a few wall tiles and restrict their movement helps a lot.

The Siege of Yggdrasil by rohezal 2020-04-25T21:35:52Z

@red-ash thank you for the feedback. I am happy you liked the genre mix.The assets were paid or used from free the UE asset store give away. There is a list of the itch.io page where all used assets are listed. Maybe I should include it here too, the sounds were all free from freesounds and jamendo :).

The Siege of Yggdrasil by rohezal 2020-04-27T22:12:19Z

@arcus Well it was a bit inspired by it. But it is not like Thor will descend from Asgard, sadly ;).

@daniil-tcyvakin I noticed a lot of people are overwhelmed a bit when they start the game and did not read the instruction. This game features a lot of things. You have to hit the dead trees with your axe to collect wood, while you fight the wolfs. You have to kill the crawlers from time too time and heal up near Yggdrasil. And you have to buid the wall while doing it.

The idea of waves sounds good. Maybe it would make the game a bit more easy. But maybe too easy 5 to 10 seconds are enough to build most if not all of the wall. Not sure if it would be challenging enough.

The Siege of Yggdrasil by rohezal 2020-05-02T18:45:43Z

@wdebowicz UE4 is a great engine where you can get fast results. I used some ready2use blueprints like the build system with some modifications I made. Thank you for your kind feedback :).

Keep it burning by CrishNate 2020-04-21T12:13:34Z

A nice and very polished game, I loved who you were able to throw almost everything into the fire. The christmas tree, the chairs, the barrels and the wood they were standing on. The atmosphere reminded me a bit of Frostpunk. Would love to destroy the table to it into the fire too, it is a lot of wood. And I had the urge to put stuff in front of the windows, they loose a lot of heat.

Bottom Up by srknvrnbskrt 2020-04-21T18:43:52Z

A realy like the mood and the graphics. This game has a realy nice atmosphere. And a useless jump ;).

Dino spin by relixes 2020-04-24T22:27:56Z

You graphics are lovely. I was always sad when the egg dropped and split open. The game reminded me a bit of Yoshis Island for SNES, were you are also a (the coolest) dinosaur, shooting eggs at targets. The eggs in your game are more fragile, but at least they can withstand the floor and the ceiling ;). Nice game, I enjoyed it.

Bébert and Gertrude against the Aliens by SylvainPV 2020-04-25T09:02:10Z

First: You guys are very funny :). The story of Bebért the intergalatical super crimimal sheep is just creative, the sounds are well made and made me laugh and the game fits the theme. The mechanics are solid (I like the update store). Well done.

It is just a bit slow on Chromium / Ubuntu 18.04 but the problem is most likely on my end, maybe the GPU acceleration does not work properly.

Is anybody out there? by sansman01 2020-04-21T11:53:19Z

I think there are some graphical glitches on Ubuntu 18.04 with the chromium 80. I liked the sound design and the wind noise. The atmosphere was spooky and dark. What the hells the dolls for? The messages were pretty fitting. The end where the circle gets smaller and smaller is a nice effect. Will try it later on windows to find the objects without the graphical glitches.

GORID-19 by BeaverGames 2020-04-21T18:33:09Z

Recommendation: A screenshot on your ludum dare page encourages visitors a lot to play your game :).

I played two rounds, in round one i was lucky, found the only infected and put it into quarantine. The game looks fine, but it is a bit complicated. Do I am play just on one planet or on all of them (since I choose a planet at gamestart and I am not sure if I just choose difficulty).

GORID-19 by BeaverGames 2020-04-21T19:11:54Z

@beavergames okay, at the third game and higher diffulty I understood everything and it was fun. Good game :).

Techno Oink by Washington Irving 2020-04-21T22:31:24Z

The low sensitvity version is 500MB, the high sensivity version is 28MB. Maybe this is a debug build?

Anyway nice shooter. I love how the enemies fly, fall down and get up again, the flying aspect adds a bit diversity to classic FPS. I got sometimes the message "techno-oink got scared to death". The first question is: it is a roboter how can it be scared to death? Does the game mechanic means I went to far away from it?

Rescue turtles by A-312 2020-04-21T11:32:51Z

A small and simple game. Why not, it is fun and I am a bit sorry for each turtle which was eaten by the seagul. Maybe add a swim animation when the turtle reach the water? And if Phaser3 support sounds, maybe a few free sounds (freesound.org). Sounds are great for feedback or getting the players attention.

Edit: Ups this is a compo game, this makes it way harder. But maybe recording the sound of a water splash, a pecking sound (just tapp a few times on the table) and faking a sea gull sound your self could have helped?

DI(e)NO(t) by Thibaud Ligneul 2020-04-24T18:51:30Z

Bildschirmfoto von 2020-04-24 20-41-57.png

Maybe add some music for each episode and a few other kind of obstacles (like a meteor which runs down a line or water rising except at a few hills). But the game is a lot of fun and a great entry. The graphics are gorgeous :).

Mosquito by Leetchi_Heda 2020-04-24T22:31:33Z

I would recommend to add a screenshot to your page, this motivates more people to play the game :).

Infermum by Brandon Gonzalez 2020-04-24T17:13:08Z

Guys your web version takes a bit long to load. Maybe the 160 MB is a bit much.

But anyway a fun and creative game. It was sometimes hard to decide if there is an I or an J (are there even J in latin)? I had to laugh when I read lorem ipsum. You keep the player busy and your UI has a lot of useful hints and is intuitive. Well done :).

Keep Us Alive by Aroma 2020-04-21T11:27:12Z

I love games like Parodius Konami and thought this would be a space / witch shooter. Boy was I wrong, this is a "support your shooter" game. And it was fun. The enemy design is great, you have to be fast to click on everything and the idea is just incredibly orignal.

LD47 — Stuck in a loop

HONK II by Tricky_Fat_Cat 2020-10-07T08:47:38Z

This game captures the doom feeling very well. The sound track is badass, the pixel art nice and the different weapons are well designed. Good game :)

Lasso-Loop Whiplash by Adiwan 2020-10-06T10:55:22Z

It is a lot of fun to get rid of the sheriff. After a few tries on windows, I decided to try the linux version and I was able to get to 70 points.
