LD46 — Keep it alive

Bee Alive! by FrozenCow 2020-05-05T04:20:35Z

Wow, this was a really cool concept. I wasn't able to play it in multiplayer but I still had fun playing it with myself somehow haha. Great work.

GNAT#46 by arowx 2020-05-05T04:12:26Z

I had fun with this game. My only big issue with it is the inverted mouse movement, that took me a while to figure out.

twisty shooty by chromableedstudios 2020-04-21T06:53:09Z

I really enjoyed this. The concept was great and the gameplay was fun. I could easily cheese my way through the game by just sitting motionless and firing at the top of the screen though. Audio could be improved too.

Help Mr Pinky by Robinerd 2020-04-21T07:13:08Z

This was a really fun game. I liked the concept and controls. Great work.

Keep the Beet Alive by Tad 2020-04-21T06:18:40Z

Never thought I'd want to play a game about a beetroot killing snails by dancing to a beat yet here I am. I took some time to jam to the title screen music too. I enjoyed playing this game. Good work.

Cursor by MiracL 2020-04-21T01:11:57Z

I liked this game. I'm awful at it though hahaha. What's the music you used?

LD46: Keep it alive by DavidPeterWorks 2020-04-21T08:24:41Z

I really liked this game. The graphics were incredible. Jumping was a little difficult at times though.

8-Bit of Farming by StinkyKitty 2020-05-09T09:19:31Z

I really love this game's art style. My only problem with it is that it's really slow (other people have mentioned this, sorry haha) but other than that great work!

Destructive Reconstruction by MantarayTV Games 2020-04-20T22:21:21Z

I liked this. The puzzles were interesting and the game was fun. The graphics were great too.

All Systems Grow [LD46: KEEP IT ALIVE] by itsandyjones 2020-04-20T23:02:17Z

This was difficult to beat. I really enjoyed it. I would have liked a few more checkpoints though (although that might just be because I suck at it.)

Flower Defense by yokuday 2020-04-21T09:24:03Z

I had lots of fun with this game. I thought scrap was a little hard to get early on though (although I understand that's probably intentional lol.)

Slime Life by Bruyère Alice 2020-04-20T22:48:23Z

I really liked this game. Everything about it is really cute and I maxed out every stat. My only problem was that hunting got a little repetitive after a while. Maybe next time try to add some more enemies that would be more likely to appear if the player's combat skill was higher.

Turbo by Abhilash 2020-04-21T07:04:57Z

This is great for your first game. There were some funny choices with the platforming puzzles though, like how the moving platform at the start was moving way too fast to jump on. I liked it though.

Don´t forget me by Joaquinm 2020-04-21T00:48:11Z

I really liked this game. The writing was great and your take on the theme was excellent. Collision was a bit funny though.

The Last Sun by JunaGames 2020-04-21T07:25:52Z

I really liked it. The graphics, music and concept were all fantastic. The controls were kinda funny though.

Plant Man by Broken Robot Studios 2020-05-05T04:37:16Z

The controls are a little funny. I got stuck in corners multiple times and had trouble moving around quickly. I still had lots of fun playing it though. Good work!

Stubby Spaceman by ajrezendes 2020-04-21T06:28:44Z

Yo, your itch.io page gives me a 404. Not sure if that was intentional. screenshot.png

Stubby Spaceman by ajrezendes 2020-04-24T00:46:29Z

Sorry for playing this a little late, that was my bad. I like it. The concept is fun and I really like the graphics.

One of my issues was that it was a little difficult to navigate from planet to planet and also manage your oxygen once you were on a planet's surface. Maybe next time add something else that can influence your oxygen levels other than being near the spaceship. (although I never actually beat the game so that might actually already be a thing)

Other than that, great work.

Rhythm Castle - Platformer/Rhythm Game by GrizzliusMaximus 2020-04-21T00:53:12Z

Yo, your game looks great but it crashes on startup for me with this error: ___________________________________________ ############################################################################################ FATAL ERROR in Vertex Shader compilation ShaderName: shd_dust

Rhythm Castle - Platformer/Rhythm Game by GrizzliusMaximus 2020-04-21T01:16:24Z

I'm actually running it on a very new laptop. It's running DirectX 12. What's your DirectX version?

Rhythm Castle - Platformer/Rhythm Game by GrizzliusMaximus 2020-04-21T01:37:15Z

Update: problem mysteriously solved itself after I deleted the game then downloaded it again.

Botanophobic Zombies by Samelgamedev 2020-04-21T06:38:41Z

@vivek-sharma20 Thanks for your feedback! I'll work on those next time.

Botanophobic Zombies by Samelgamedev 2020-05-09T09:25:43Z

I just remembered I could reply to these, so sorry lol! Thank you all so much for your feedback, I appreciate it so much :)

TreaTrees by RhinoFreak 2020-04-21T06:37:43Z

I liked this game. It was fun and relaxing. My only problem was that I didn't understand the condition required to win - was there a timer?

LD47 — Stuck in a loop

DEATH STRING by miziziziz 2020-10-06T09:10:55Z

this game is so cool! very fun gameplay and unique concept

it absolutely brought my computer to its knees though, especially during the final boss. the screenshaking kept sending my camera outside of the map for several seconds, although i was playing on the webgl build. this is awesome though, great work!

Dreamin' Cat by Fockx 2020-10-05T20:31:34Z

this was fun! i liked the cute art style and the ambient music reminded me of OFF my only criticism is that maybe the spikes' colliders were a little too big, i found myself dying when only hitting the edge of them. normally platformers shrink their spikes' colliders a little, just to make it more fair overall i still liked this a lot.

A Ghost Party by lexi 2020-10-06T08:51:43Z

very cute short game, i loved the art and mood. i'd definitely agree that i didn't quite get the correlation to the theme until you explained it though, but otherwise good work!

The Looper Encounter by Shaolin Dave 2020-10-07T04:36:20Z

this is a cool game, i liked the fun and simple concept. i slowly got better at the game as i kept playing.

i'm not sure if this was intentional but i found that when i pressed s to create a loop and then s again to speed it up my score from the last session would persist, thus going straight from 0 score to 300. good work though!

Hoop Knight by lectvs 2020-10-06T05:11:14Z

wow this is a really creative take on the theme

it's super duper fun, great work!

FROGS Training to be Heros (In a large 'wheel-thing') by HacksawUnit 2020-10-05T20:01:57Z

i liked this! fun gameplay and concept. i liked the different characters too

TALLY MARKS by de3sol 2020-10-06T04:24:18Z

this is so cool! one of my personal highlights was definitely the art (it's very good) but wow this game is cool

i think my only criticism would be that swapping my right hand between the arrow keys and the mouse wasn't great controls-wise, but otherwise great work!

Humdrum by ZachsButt 2020-10-07T05:08:07Z

very cool game. what really stood out to me is the unique art style, i had lots of fun playing. good job!

Echo Anomaly by Fonics 2020-10-06T04:50:55Z

this is cool. it had a really awesome concept and i really liked the puzzles, although i never got to finish the third one. there are a few collision bugs here and there but i still really enjoyed it, good work!

GrooveBouncer by Merotar 2020-10-07T05:21:57Z

this is a very cool little toy, i loved playing around with it. the very nice graphics give it a nice touch too. good work!

Chronic Curse by Diego Escalante 2020-10-06T21:36:04Z

this is a really cool game, the mechanics are awesome and i had a lot of fun. good work!

Ebontale by JUSTCAMH 2020-10-07T02:40:31Z

woah. this is super duper cool. i really just don't know what to say about this, it really made me wow. good work!

LoopChan by Kaish 2020-10-07T02:14:08Z

this is a fun puzzle game with cool mechanics. my only criticism would be that i wish there was some kind of indicator of when there was about to be a snare/cymbal/etcetera. overall i still really liked the game and concept, good work!

The Lost Frog by Lombax 2020-10-09T07:30:06Z

i know plenty of people have already said this but i just couldn't get myself over the first obstacle. just couldn't play much of this because of that, sorry

Escape the Loop by Rawb 2020-10-06T07:26:39Z

this is a fun little game that does a lot with little and a simple concept. i really liked it, good work!

Orbit by ZEN 2020-10-06T00:13:46Z

this is a fun short game. the pixel art was really cool and i really liked the electronic vibe of the soundtrack, plus having the spaceship stuck in an orbit was a nice spin (pun unintended but please pretend it was) on the theme. also i know people have already mentioned this but i had several instances where i started a level with zero obstacles, winning immediately. otherwise, good work!

Orbit by ZEN 2020-10-06T00:13:48Z

(looks like it published my comment twice and won't let me delete it, sorry bout that :( )

S.A.L.F.s by rmonthil 2020-10-06T06:39:43Z

this is a cool little game, i really like the concept. i like the ending too, i really didn't expect that twist, good work!

Orbiter by Sieghart 2020-10-06T08:44:20Z

cool game! this is a game that makes fun out of a very simple premise, good work!

deertective (deer detective) by Samelgamedev 2020-10-05T19:25:00Z

@jonah @zachsbutt thank you! and oh shoot, i totally forgot to do that! my b

deertective (deer detective) by Samelgamedev 2020-10-05T22:26:58Z

@hacksawunit @merotar thank you! @shosanna oh dang, i didn't realize that the text on the walls was so blurry, sorry! it probably looked a little better quality-wise when i was initially testing it in the editor... thank you all for your feedback though :)

deertective (deer detective) by Samelgamedev 2020-10-06T09:15:11Z

@aquanim @atonic @frecklebars thank you, and thanks for playing!

@hacksawunit hey i just read your second edit, where have you looked so far? a quick hint based on another person who had trouble finding the last piece of evidence: maybe the loop person still has some more to tell you

deertective (deer detective) by Samelgamedev 2020-10-08T08:46:45Z

@rmonthil @diego-escalante @eugenik @shaolin-dave @ds-nahogara @cliffracerx thank you all, and thanks for playing! @etrealjunior thanks for playing! i played your game and left a comment, i liked it @cliffracerx thank you! yes that's the good ending, congrats!

RIP in Time by ATonic 2020-10-06T07:47:08Z

i haven't finished this game just yet but from what i've played so far i really like the art and mood. it sets a deep feeling of melancholy for me right from the beginning, which is awesome.

my only criticism would be that i wish there was some kind of indicator of how long i had left until time loops back again, kinda like a timer. good work though!

FRUITFLY by frecklebars 2020-10-05T20:45:55Z

really cool! this sets a great mood from the beginning. it's a creative use of story and dialogue to make the game interesting, and i really like the mystery and ambiguity of everything. the graphics were really cool too

CRYSOPHILIST by Wouter52 2020-10-05T21:47:41Z

very cool game! i remember following you at the start of the jam because i thought participating in the jam as a system programmer was the coolest thing ever (and i still think it is) my only criticism is that i found sometimes the player would slowly shift to the left or right side of the screen when i wasn't pressing anything, which i'm not sure was intentional. otherwise i had fun exploring the randomly-generated levels and the high score leaderboard was a cool implentation

Hamster Happiness by shosanna 2020-10-07T05:33:56Z

very cute little game, i made the hamster happy on my second try. my only criticism would be that i thought the cooldown for the rest button was waaay too long. overall good work!

Resurrection by etrealjunior 2020-10-07T20:20:30Z

very cool game. i liked the unique art style and the story did a good job of matching the theme. good work!

LOOP by Akai_Pixels 2020-10-05T23:12:36Z

this is cool! i liked the puzzles, and collecting the pieces of a key to unlock the door was a neat idea. good work!

Strange Planet by tengusheath 2020-10-06T04:06:52Z

this is a fun little game that does a lot with its simplicity. i know people have already said this but my only criticism would be that i wish the looping map would have played more of a role, because it kinda feels like it was just added to fit the theme. but i still really enjoyed this, good work!
