LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Get Baked! by Budaniel 2018-04-26T18:40:54Z

Liked the humor, and the art wasn't too bad! The controls were a little hard to use though, my mouse sensitivity was very low and it was hard to turn to face the gingerbread men. Funny though!

Space Pong Invaders by MrMordem 2018-04-24T09:34:52Z

I didn't get to play with a friend, but solo worked pretty well! I wish that if the ball hits the ship, it would just bounce off instead of killing the player. Also, it might be because I'm in the US, but the controls were a little weird for me. I'm used to WASD for movement, would be useful to be able to switch those keybindings in an option menu. Overall, I though the mood was great, the game played well, and it was fun!

A Virtual Friend by frostdragonliz 2018-04-24T09:59:44Z

Cool! Gets a little creepy there... ha! The art style and gameplay are great, good work!

ACCIDENTAL EXISTENTIAL by slovnoslomo 2018-04-24T10:29:34Z

This was enjoyed by me.

NF Hell by rift 2018-04-24T10:22:44Z

This was a cool game, the art looks great and works well. I assume the point of the game is that the players are always free!? It was fun to out-maneuver the other players, but I wish there was more to survive with! I liked it!

FARMACY by Rawrasaur 2018-04-26T18:37:21Z

I liked this! I think the concept is pretty cool, it'd be cool to see the ability to combine foods into a meal that's more powerful than the fruit by itself. I thought the art stayed consistent in style and looked nice, but although the movement was smooth, it did get a little glitchy here and there. Just could use a little better collisions detection. Overall, I liked it!

Hotdog Harry's Food Truck Racing by Ryan Michaels 2018-04-24T09:27:27Z

Thanks @Detobel36 for playing and leaving feedback! Yes, the camera zooming was a remnant of the original game mechanic where you would be moving the food truck worker around the inside of the truck to gather ingredients to make the hot dogs, but sadly that never came to fruition. I realize it leaves something to be desired with the current gameplay... :)

Hotdog Harry's Food Truck Racing by Ryan Michaels 2018-04-26T18:43:09Z

@Holystride I tried to combine racing and a food truck simulator (like Overcooked). I obviously didn't get very far with that second genre, but you're reading my mind in terms of what I wanted to it to become! You can read more about what I wanted on this post mortem blog post: http://www.midnighttangent.com/blog/2018/04/ludum-41-books/

Hotdog Harry's Food Truck Racing by Ryan Michaels 2018-04-27T13:16:26Z

@LeFayGames Thanks for the feedback! Yes, there is a lot that I didn't get the chance to work on, but I enjoyed the process and look forward to better things! :)

Nerd's Revenge: Punches delivered with math by Bartosz 2018-04-24T10:15:46Z

Cool! I love the art, and the game plays well, but I guess I'm just not very good! I died lots of times! Overll, great job!

Last Man Driving by Rewzu 2018-04-26T18:22:43Z

This was pretty good. The driving was nice and smooth. I could have appreciated a map and more delineation between the weapons so I know what weapon/ammo I was picking up and using. I ended up placing 3rd after falling of a cliff looking for the other cars! fun!

Corn Wars LD (Farming-Shooter) by Firesplash Entertainment 2018-04-24T09:49:44Z

When I started the game, it felt really cool to explore the area. I see that the first release version was buggy - I couldn't get the shotgun to plant the seeds, but playing the bug-fix version I was able to plant seeds. The slowing growing animations for the plants was fun to watch! The controls (E for everything) were a little weird, and I would prefer to use E (or action button) to climb the ladder instead of automatically going up. Also wish I could carry the shotgun and the pistol with me at the same time! Overall, it was fun, just needs a little polish!

Need for Coin: Island Hoppers by saoi-games 2018-04-24T10:10:58Z

This was fun! It was satisfying to grab all those coins, and the physics let me jump and do rail grinds on the fences! I even enjoyed trying to get lots of speed and clear big gaps with a well timed jump! Obviously the game could use a little polish, but the only other thing that bugged me was that you couldn't back up! Great job!

1-2-3 Soleil! by ZappedCow 2018-04-26T15:26:36Z

This was awesome. You did a great job of getting your kid's drawings into the game and looking great! I am inspired to do the same with my kids now!

Field of Skulls by thegreentofu 2018-04-26T18:30:03Z

Hey, I didn't know how I was going to feel about the game when I booted it up, but I very much appreciate the game you made! The gameplay gets a little repetitive, but it is fun at its core!
