LD39 — Running out of Power

Winding Woods by tybantarnusa 2017-08-02T16:46:19Z

It was such a relief to find an exit! Good job, thank you for your entry!

Power Bunnies by pcmaster 2017-08-01T09:16:55Z

Theme, humor, mood, audio are awesome as always! Graphics has special spirit of programmers art :) Gameplay is hard, I feel there should be some balancing done to be more forgivable.

The Trash Bin That Could by mathijs750 2017-08-06T08:00:58Z

Great game, nice sounds and graphics! Definitely hit the theme! Reminded me Portal a bit. Great work!

Legendary Space Space Space by Rahtainka 2017-08-02T21:50:37Z

For me WebGL version worked fine in Chrome. I liked visual art style, especially big spaceships. Sound is good as well.

Nice entry :)

Mars Mystery by wolar 2017-08-02T17:00:33Z

Nice ambient music and atmosphere overall! Controls are hard a bit. Solid entry overall.

PS: I like noise post-process :)

Yet Another Exhausted Day by Gao Ming 2017-08-01T11:27:52Z

Totally simulates my usual morning :). Absence of moving backwards adds lot of hardcore to this game.

Yet Another Exhausted Day by Gao Ming 2017-08-05T19:05:20Z

@gao-ming You inspired me to revive my port to MacOS! So, see link of the port in description. Hope you will have fun :)

Quad and Cycl by ijzm 2017-08-01T16:30:33Z

Your robots are cute, I like animation! Music is awesome. Hope to play version with fixed mechanics - game has potential.

End of the line by dorkandy 2017-08-02T10:09:34Z

Dialogs and music sets despair atmosphere. I like art style as well. Nice entry and great hit of the theme!

All of Me by Lucien Catonnet 2017-08-02T09:14:09Z

Introduce binary representation of meshes. Parsing obj files at load time is not an option for large projects.

The movements were fine in my case. Do you multiply your speed on dt between frames?

Be aware of dt problems in physics simulation at the beginning of your engine development. To get stable physics you need to do some tricks with your dt. You can read more here: https://gafferongames.com/post/fix_your_timestep/

While designing my own engine, lot of inspiration I got in data-driven design. Probably best resource on it: https://blog.molecular-matters.com/

Keep going - hope to see actual game on LD40 :)

Bear and Bee by ruerob-hyky 2017-08-01T12:04:57Z

Oh, that sound of falling bear! :) Highscore is missing indeed.

Simple and nice, good work.

Tomaton by ursagames 2017-08-02T09:31:29Z

As it was above - **DAT BLUR**!!!

No, really - blur/bloom time has passed by and we need to move forward. For god sake graphics programmers understand this nowadays and they use them in right places.

Overall, short and fun game, reminded me Gothic times. It was my dream to create third person exploration project like this, so thanks for inspiration!

Good job!

Five swords to Hell by Javier Diez 2017-08-02T09:47:00Z

Music and atmosphere are awesome. I wish to have logging system indeed and some tutorial.

DraBot by gil4 2017-08-01T16:02:57Z

Great entry! Graphics are amazing. I feel that it needs some kind of tutorial - I died a lot at the beginning. Otherwise very solid entry!

Disaster On Nebula One by RAC-Games 2017-08-02T21:26:35Z

Nice graphics and audio. Agree with @baben - a bit of work need to be done with camera when you move backwards. For some reason, after pressing "R" game starts from very beginning. Intended?

Nice work overall :)

Out of the Shadows by Baconinvader 2017-08-01T14:51:35Z

I was able to score 3000 points :)

Nice mechanics with torch. Good job! As was said before, find an artist and make game faster. I feel that this game needs some end-point purpose.

Mayor on a Roll by maniacanshul 2017-08-02T08:57:05Z

Humor and mood are awesome. I like cute graphics style as well. After score 130 it is really hard to get proper speed when you was hit. I wish to have more options in this case:)

Good job overall!

The Unhuman by wolderado 2017-08-02T10:34:53Z

Story telling, sounds, camera filter are great! Thanks for the entry.

Fall of Raphael by fangzhangmnm 2017-08-01T08:42:25Z

Theme and mood are awesome!

LifeRunner ~~~O by ruba 2017-08-02T04:35:50Z

@random-storykeeper Could you please provide name of video card? Video driver must support opengl 3.3 in order to run. I'll add additional check to inform user that hw is not supported.

LifeRunner ~~~O by ruba 2017-08-02T10:41:02Z

@ursagames Thank you for feedback! We made it in such way that it is chance dependent - as in real life :). My current result is 40-50% chance to win. Helmet helps a lot though.

LifeRunner ~~~O by ruba 2017-08-02T22:20:17Z

@hhsaez yes, inertia was intended because of swimming :) Thank you for your feedback.

LifeRunner ~~~O by ruba 2017-08-03T08:27:02Z

@random-storykeeper thank you for your answer. According to Intel, HD 3000 supports up to OpenGL 3.1, but not 3.3 version. I will address this problem for future LD and add minimal specs to description of this entry.

LifeRunner ~~~O by ruba 2017-08-03T08:43:52Z

@random-storykeeper I made special build for you with OpenGL 3.1 support. You can try it by the following link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByIVB-Hif3M1UTRiQnNKbC1kc0U/view?usp=sharing

Tell me if it works for you.

Thanks!

LifeRunner ~~~O by ruba 2017-08-05T19:02:58Z

@gao-ming You inspired me to revive my 1.5 year old port to MacOS! So, see link in description :)

LifeRunner ~~~O by ruba 2017-08-06T07:29:31Z

@will-walters thanks you for your feedback - critics are always welcome. Spawning in danger zone was made on purpose - with helmet you can hide in organics without damage.

Mr. Spaceship McSpaceFace: The Game [A.K.A. The worst game of 2017] by ArBe 2017-08-02T21:37:30Z

I like graphics. Unfortunately on my 3440x1440 screen menu is almost unreadable, so it took me a minute to realize that I'm already in menu :)

uRUNium by yopox 2017-08-01T11:10:16Z

High quality game, congrats! Spend 15 minutes on level 5 to learn all timings. Some platforms were frustrating a bit - it was hard to identify on first try which are active and which belongs to background.

One In the Chamber, One In the Socket by notApollogising 2017-08-01T22:38:19Z

I like polished mechanics. Didn't manage to finish last level after "you win". I liked that it is possible to find an exit without light at all :)

Extincti by FooMar 2017-08-01T14:30:26Z

I like that it is possible to combine disasters. Theme and music are awesome. Keep going with this idea and release it somewhere! :)

Hover Power! An Unfortunate Game Jam by F-Dawg 2017-08-01T16:16:51Z

Guy with headphones is cool, but other stuff are well described above in comments. Hope to see your finished project on LD40!

Fat Fireman by xqwzts251 2017-08-02T18:56:32Z

Fun idea, but it really needs restart from current level - not from the first one. Passed to 3-rd level, was bitten by dogs 5 times :)

R0m-B4 by Hugh Williams 2017-07-31T21:49:29Z

Unforgiving and difficult, but nice! Need to check it again in the morning after good sleep.

Shadow Crawl by Connor Hagan 2017-08-01T08:46:52Z

I played it at night and it scared me, so you managed to create that creepy feeling - 5 stars for the mood :)

Locomatomatic by SecretC 2017-08-01T15:27:22Z

This game is awesome!

Sound, graphics and lalalalala made my day! I feel that this game stop being challenging after day 10, on day 13 I do not know what to do. What about this machine upgrades? If they are not infinite than there should be some response to that fact (levels, something).

Keep going - it has great potential!

Theresa Dreams of Wheat by essell 2017-08-01T09:46:31Z

I enjoyed playing your game a lot! What a story telling! Every character have something to say to you. Thank you for this entry - your project cheered me up for today :)

LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Hover Burner by TimBeaudet 2017-12-06T13:41:30Z

Hello turtle guy (and the rest of the team)! Congrats on the game and emscripten test!

Controls feels good, gas/weight mechanics indeed fits the theme well.

I think that it would be nice to mark pit stops somehow.

Nice entry overall.

Go check my game - I do my own engine as well (do not want to spam with links, just check my profile)

The Curse of Mangara by PavelDlouhy 2017-12-06T15:50:50Z

Hello! Hope you are doing well :)

Story rich game with nice puzzles and genius music! Liked it a lot - congrats!

The Montiest Haul by Mike Cullingham 2017-12-05T16:50:22Z

I managed to finish the game. I really liked gameplay, very nice game mechanics! Sound of death is awesome ^_^

Few bugs, but nothing important. Solid entry - congrats :)

ALL Your Cats by pcmaster 2017-12-05T16:05:54Z

Very nice clicker/cat manager simulator! I like graphics, animations, sound and humor. Awesome work!

Uncanny Dodge by Dubgron 2017-12-06T17:05:13Z

Nice work. Got 20 points. Sound would add more atmosphere!

My life as a cat lady by Samuli 2017-12-06T11:05:09Z

Audio is hilarious :) Art style is nice.

I wish to see which tools gramma holds at least in UI.

Nice entry overall!

For Better or For Worse by valandre 2017-12-07T13:39:24Z

Wow, just WOW.

Tomb Robber by ronin748 2017-12-05T17:06:51Z

On the GO from scratch? Very nice!

Theme is clear and it was definitely fun to play! Graphics is nice. Style reminded me Wolfenstein 3D because of controls. Congrats!

Zombeer by justinooncx 2017-12-24T12:42:03Z

Nice entry!

Got 50 kills. Graphics looks very polished, controls are a bit confusing though.

The Luckiest Businessman by mortus 2017-12-05T19:08:34Z

I saw Walter White, I swear :) Nice game, cool concept. Enjoyed playing it.

Fleet Commander by MagmaFortress 2017-12-06T10:34:14Z

My fleet was 20 at the end!

I liked simple and understandable game mechanics. Sound was good as well.

Cat Clicker by Mr.MadCat 2017-12-05T18:44:53Z

Clever gameplay mechanics, I liked it! Relaxing music and nice art style.

Santa's Delivery Service by Bizbud 2017-12-06T16:33:08Z

Very nice idea, music and art!

Game sets atmosphere of upcoming Christmas.

KITTEN SITTER by sadsmile 2017-12-06T10:50:08Z

Cute game!

I got a bug that I can't click on hungry kitten some times.

Overall nice entry! Congrats!

Chasing Syrinx by Lugdumdare Team 2017-12-05T17:53:48Z

Nice art! Physics could be better - I was unexpectedly sliding on branches. It would be good to mark branches as game objects since it is not very clear that you can jump on them. Music is good.

Good entry overall! Congrats team! :)

Snail: Diamond Hunter 2000 by ruba 2017-12-05T17:42:11Z

@lugdumdare-team Thanks for feedback!

Reverse works that way because snail will have direct path over circle in this case :)

Snail: Diamond Hunter 2000 by ruba 2017-12-06T10:43:54Z

@jjjjason Thank you for your feedback!

About general experience with own engine: I did not invest enough time to test all new features implemented for this jam, so it was bug fixing on the run along with changing concept. As consequence it was not much time for final polish. We got our experience and very happy that this situation was not on production stage of big project :)

Overall we are happy with results.

Snail: Diamond Hunter 2000 by ruba 2017-12-06T14:28:39Z

@svarttand thank you for your feedback!

Agree about controls, unfortunately it was not enough time for polishing. I beat this game on 4th try today and I know how ghost AI works, design of level etc. :)

Snail: Diamond Hunter 2000 by ruba 2017-12-06T16:04:42Z

@angriestscv Can you try to run it under Wine? Should work AFAIK.

Snail: Diamond Hunter 2000 by ruba 2017-12-12T12:29:06Z

@lazard Could you please provide your system setup?

Gold Taxi by Code Dream 2017-12-06T13:20:43Z

Very nice! I laughed when I saw cars were flying around after crash :) Driving feels nice, probably mini map would be nice addition since it was hard to find base sometimes Agree about lack of audio - would add more fun.

LD40 (BEAT2K) by Shivankar Sharma 2017-12-05T17:27:30Z

My high score was 800 :)

Nice audio track, clean graphics.

Probably left corner is not best place for high score. Wouldn't be better to put it somewhere under car?

Carrie by joris17 2017-12-05T17:38:39Z

Wow, this game made me smile! Nice audio, very solid gameplay and what an idea with true/false boy!

Daku by MachoCodes 2017-12-05T16:23:52Z

Controls feels smooth, music is nice. Keep going with the game. Awesome entry! Can agree about lack of challenge - it seems that I do not really need to swing my katana to kill enemies :)

Plague Venue by Sengi 2017-12-07T09:02:14Z

Greetings from Kiev :)

Nice atmosphere and art style, good work with camera jitter. Nice entry overall - keep it up.

Cult Classic by sebastianscaini 2017-12-05T17:15:21Z

Bloody mess on the floor! :)

I liked intro, controls, work with camera jitter on hit. Animations looks nice and smooth. Music is nice as well - atmospheric.

Unfortunately I have only 2 controllers, so I was not able to fully test this game.

Paya's Milk Run by Corndog 2017-12-05T20:42:21Z

I'm win!!!

Found that ball doesn't make any difference - it doesn't stop cats :(

But nice humor - I like the game!

Cargo Space by AngriestSCV 2017-12-05T17:31:06Z

I would love to see your build under Windows or Mac! :)

Drink Or Die by xujiangjiang 2017-12-07T08:49:41Z

That was hilarious!

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

Rogues Like Beer by NickZangus 2018-12-08T18:26:27Z

Amazing core mechanics, audio, graphics, humor. This entry definitely deserves top marks!

Bunnycula by pcmaster 2018-12-04T19:48:23Z

Hello mister! As always, great humor and mood. Controls were a bit hard at the beginning. I liked jump animations. Great entry - keep going!

H E R D by King Kujito 2018-12-07T09:47:30Z

Very nice entry, I was impressed that you accomplished such polished game in such limited time!

Test chamber 43 by neonian 2018-12-04T20:41:01Z

I really like general puzzle idea, but game lacks connection to theme. Very innovative though!

The Forgotten Four by Finn Truman 2018-12-05T16:30:15Z

Found myself playing it for 20 minutes, which is very nice result for LD game. Congrats - very nice gameplay.

Deadline of the Dead by _for_science 2018-12-08T17:58:01Z

Very solid and polished game! Just read your graphics breakdown - simple solutions that just works. Amazing. Congrats!

Volcano Royale XTREME by Morg 2018-12-04T19:24:15Z

This game rocks! Very nice music, especially taking into account that you played that theme by yourself. There was a bug when no enemies spawned at all. Very dynamic and thematic entry - nice work.

Master Key by Jeremy Ryan 2018-12-06T19:43:11Z

Very nice entry! I loved base gameplay.

Feed those monsters! by ruba 2018-12-04T20:23:10Z

**Creatures are guessing! Take attention to environment! You need to guess what creature in the darkness as well based on environment! Sorry for not making it clear!**

Feed those monsters! by ruba 2018-12-05T16:39:23Z

@kegnarok you can throw torchligh to see them :)

Feed those monsters! by ruba 2018-12-05T21:00:16Z

@dexp hints will tell you that he is scared of fire. We wish to have more time to make it less confusing, though :) thanks for feedback.

Samurai's Legacy by Simone 2018-12-06T18:43:48Z

I enjoyed to play this game! Very nice work for first platformer.

Aetherspirit by gwinnell 2018-12-06T18:30:58Z

Very nice idea. Gameplay feels solid. Sounds are awesome. Did you use Emscripten for HTML5 support? PS: I used my C++ custom engine as well, go check my game ;)

Aetherspirit by gwinnell 2018-12-07T13:50:07Z

@gwinnell Still need to port encryption part (used for highscores) to OSX, so I doubt that I'll make OSX port this time. Thanks for inspiration to use Emscripten though ;)

Devil, Please by Tish 2018-12-06T19:14:57Z

Very nice and atmospheric game! Balance is indeed somewhat poor, but graphics and general idea is top notch. Congrats!

Sacrificio Inc. by Reality Blind 2018-12-06T19:01:13Z

Wow! That's one nice and polished entry here! Congrats! What engine did you use? Is it some custom one?

Destroy All Cubes! by Danny Sun 2018-12-04T19:54:18Z

34 trophies collected! Nice clicker, lacks of graphics though. Some background and textures on cubes would make it much better.

Trailer Trashed by NorthernDevGuy 2018-12-08T19:05:26Z

Fun game! Agree with others that music was a bit annoying :). Gameplay is great - I enjoyed playing it. There would be a nice if tornado had some smoke alpha blended texture assigned.

Fishy Rescue by Nelson William 2018-12-06T12:51:31Z

no brainier - one of the best games I played on this LD

Break a leg by AxelOlivier 2018-12-06T19:50:24Z

Neat idea with sacrificing your body parts! I liked animations when some parts were absent. Keep going!

For Brain ! by nolifedev 2018-12-06T19:21:42Z

I liked humor and audio! Gameplay is not very original, I saw already few games with similar idea (frankly it was my first idea for this jam as well). Very nice entry overall!

GET OUT of bed..... by Abso 2018-12-08T18:36:57Z

I loved animations. Very nice music and general idea. I don't see connection with the theme though :) Game lacks variety, but well done overall considering that it is your first steps with Unity.

Running through the underworld! by sadzanenyama 2018-12-06T19:31:44Z

I liked main mechanics of the game, graphics were a bit simple though. Not bad for first LD, keep going!
