LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

JOURNEY by Syrapt0r 2018-12-04T13:48:28Z

You really weren't kidding about it being difficult -- but that's why it was so fun! The music was also incredibly catchy. Well done!

Volcano Rush! by jharler 2018-12-03T16:33:45Z

Doing a project using a self-made engine is no mean feat, but making one which looks/feels as solid as this is pretty commendable. I like the game's sense of humour too :) well done!

God Servant by Genpaku 2018-12-03T16:50:55Z

Cool! Perhaps try make it a little clearer that the mouse controls which way the character is facing - I was quite confused on my first playthrough :)

Time by ccglp 2018-12-03T17:45:21Z

A pretty well-executed experimental game. Nice!

Space Station Gamma-7 by kelbg 2018-12-04T14:15:52Z

Apart from the controls, I liked this. The music & mood were awesome :)

Sacrifice in Space by Marc Grabow 2018-12-03T17:39:00Z

It's so macabre, I love it :') 5/5 audio for the voice acting and sound effects. Well done!

Domino Dash by ditzel 2018-12-04T12:53:48Z

Idea & execution are on point. The dominoes are also pretty cute. Nicely done :)

Sirius Galactica by Call_me_Nutty 2018-12-03T15:16:52Z

Really quite fun! I find it great that the mechanic which seems so simple to grasp in the first few rounds remains unchanged yet ramps up in difficulty later, while remaining playable and rewarding. Well done :)

Infiltrate by Berkin 2018-12-04T12:43:00Z

Overall a decent compo entry. I like the mechanic and how it fits into the theme :)

Sacrifice for the wall by DarkAnice 2018-12-04T12:45:49Z

Sounds like an interesting game, but the itch page is giving me a 404 :(

Sacrifice for the wall by DarkAnice 2018-12-04T13:21:50Z

It's got a cute art style, and I quite like the music :)

Warlock Quest by Serious07 2018-12-04T14:11:12Z

Nicely done! I like the teleportation mechanic -- but I couldn't get past level 7, since the sheep I was trying to absorb got stuck in limbo at one of the purple orbs :) still a fun entry.

Sacrifice for the zone by theBOSS12 2018-12-03T15:54:21Z

I'll always have a soft spot for games written using Swing, but you've got an exceptionally sweet aesthetic with this one! I'd suggest putting on the page the rules for when you can explode -- I was unsure until I had died and seen the text on the endgame screen. Nonetheless I dig this game :)

Ember's Light by vDovah 2018-12-04T13:09:50Z

I was initially sceptical of that large file size, but it really paid off -- those graphics are beautiful! Very good jam entry :)

Oblation by Sam Hindson 2018-12-03T03:25:26Z

My bad! I've made fullscreen optional in itch.io so the controls are there permanently. I've also added a hint for the first obstacle :)

The Gods Are Watching by KaisenTheGreatOne 2018-12-03T16:21:47Z

I really like this entry. It's looks very pretty and is easy to grasp yet somewhat more challenging to master. My village is thriving while I write this - just gone on 215 inhabitants haha. I did notice that the help screen neglects to show that the Receivers are the yellow squares, so maybe just include that on the game's page. Otherwise, a good entry :)

Astro-Sacrifice by LucienC 2018-12-03T15:31:30Z

Not bad for a first-time LDer! Although as time progresses the screen becomes more cluttered with enemies which makes things a little difficult to see :)

Blocklings by abroadgames 2018-12-03T17:17:15Z

A really solid game. I love the mechanic and how it ties into the theme -- props to you! Really liked the mood and how it was created with the music and lighting :)

A dangerous situation not to wear shoes in by wie_ 2018-12-03T15:43:46Z

Nice concept! The game works pretty well too, except somehow my anvil got destroyed by a skeleton and I couldn't buy a new one
