LD39 — Running out of Power

ChargeBot by Atikyne 2017-08-01T17:15:25Z

It's fun and interesting game.

I don't know if this was intended but there seems to be only 1 way to solve the level?

The castle by Tero Pulkkinen 2017-07-31T23:01:15Z

I like the art style but it's missing the gameplay?

Defend Home: Mars by sgt3v 2017-08-01T10:46:30Z

I find it's hard to aim because the sensitivity is so high. Otherwise pretty cool game!

Running out of Power by milano23 2017-07-31T22:54:32Z

Cool game, very simple, maybe even too simple? fits the theme though!

The Hackerman by Steing 2017-08-01T17:56:51Z

Haha! how do you come up with stuff like this it's hilarious.

Running out of Coffee by Triastase 2017-08-01T12:41:09Z

Haha!

had a great laugh trying it out.

Charge'em by Hardly Difficult 2017-07-31T23:03:59Z

I like the idea! Fits the theme & those effects look really cool. Didn't get past level 1 thought. :(

No Sorcerer's Sky by TheFlyingKeyboard 2017-08-01T19:11:05Z

it's a solid resource management game, i kinda like it.

I think you should give feedback to the player if you don't have the resources to build something, at the start i thought the game was having issues until i realised i don't have the resources.

I love the art & music.

Good job!

Escape by Tamas Turi 2017-08-01T09:47:13Z

This is amazing. The game fits the theme very well and man i love those graphics.

-simov by BSO 2017-08-01T13:10:11Z

I can't really say much about the gameplay since it didn't really work on my pc.

for some reason some of the font materials didn't load at all.

The character moves really fast and is literally impossible to control?

I tried to check output_log but there are no exceptions thrown.

pretty weird.

I took a screenshot from the font error :

The Little Miner by vipbasil 2017-08-01T12:14:13Z

I like the art style, only downside is that the first time i played, i didn't notice the ship.

Maybe the ship should stand out more?

A LED story by hairaz 2017-08-01T00:38:20Z

Very unique and simple game, good job.

Driving home by basweijenberg 2017-08-01T09:04:15Z

a game withing a game.. love it!

Energy Boy by neowhoru 2017-08-01T15:44:35Z

The game is pretty fun.

However i think it could use some more obstacles to make it little bit more challanging.

Good job!

BAT-BATTERY by cenullum 2017-08-01T10:00:56Z

Doesn't work for me :(

I'm running windows 7 and there's no error messages or anything, the game just never starts.

PLUG ME ! by Ramou 2017-08-01T18:30:40Z

As for gameplay i think it's fun and the game looks good.

I know you mentioned that the load time is long, but still it's way too long without a loading screen. The game crashed during loading.

I checked the output log and it has:

2430 prints of string "test" and same amount of random prints of memory locations.

this is really really bad for performance.

Energy Scraps by Royoyo 2017-07-31T23:22:20Z

The game feels kinda empty, i think harvesting energy could use some kind of animation. I like the art style though!

D34TH by Falk Bruskeland 2017-08-01T10:40:38Z

Cool game!

One downside to it is that i don't really like the control scheme.

Car jump by Samuli Salonen 2017-08-01T09:58:14Z

@quemagalletas Thanks :).

@aircraft-terrier Thanks for the feedback, i was planning to serialize the engines but the physics took way too much time and by the end it still didn't work as well as planned :D.

@hairaz Yea it's my first time experimenting with unity physics and it kinda shows here :D.

@royoyo There's a tip saying that you can rotate the camera with scrollbutton held down :).

Car jump by Samuli Salonen 2017-08-01T12:50:09Z

@sergius haha i think you broke the game as you have the new highscore,

did you fly out of the game area? :D

Car jump by Samuli Salonen 2017-08-01T19:44:23Z

Thanks for the feedback guys :)

I had trouble with the physics and car control to the point where i almost quit, it's somehow working now so i guess that's a win.

Now that i think of it, we probably should've done 2D, since it's 1 less dimension to worry about, or option 2 would be not include physics in the game at all. :)

Running away from the power packs by guojin 2017-08-01T00:47:46Z

Probably the funniest player character that i've seen.

The gameplay feels too slow, it's not very interesting to press key and wait, otherwise the idea is great.

Little Light by Qu4k 2017-08-01T12:19:57Z

I'm constantly surprised by the ideas people come up with.

This is another example of a game where you take a simple game mechanic and built around it.

I really like how the light goes darker when you run out of energy, good job!

The Truth by Jolix 2017-07-31T23:09:01Z

this perfectly describes "running out of power". Good job!

Cubes Run Out Of Power Too by TheLord 2017-08-01T10:19:32Z

I think this is very minor but you could display the coin count while the game is going on?

Proto472 by uzyfeo 2017-08-01T18:52:12Z

It's very fun and kinda hard game, i don't think i ever got past the triple wall thingy when the speed is higher.

Good job!

Automated Explorer by Aircraft Terrier 2017-07-31T23:40:32Z

Wow. this game is a complete package! simple, yet very entertaining, best one i have played so far!

Last Train Out by amarcu 2017-08-01T11:06:39Z

Well done! i really like the gameplay, it kinda reminds me of the older flash games.

Geocentric Survival by Bewelge 2017-08-01T12:10:20Z

Cool! The game design is amazing, very simple mechanic and the entire game is built around it. Love it!

Feel-o-clock by GamesOfAwe 2017-08-01T15:25:23Z

Haha that "FAP" was so unexpected lmao.

good job very funny game.

Battery Low by krishnasism 2017-08-01T11:00:27Z

Wow! the idea is very unique and interesting. good job!

Solar Power Rush by TheMonax 2017-08-01T11:15:37Z

I like the pace of the game, good job!

CowPow! by Quemagalletas 2017-08-01T10:14:02Z

Pretty unique game, good job!

Spacesquid Spaceship by Nezumi Games 2017-08-01T16:47:49Z

This game is really addicting!

I like the game design, you constantly have to do stuff and that's pretty hard to achieve.

Graphics & sounds are awesome.

Only downside i see in this game is a little bit "forced" tutorial? But that's just my preference, i like to learn by experimenting and i think it could have been achieved in this game.

good job!

Powerless: Trump Teaches Typing by RootPew 2017-08-01T10:58:56Z

Oh boy this is hilarious, good job!

Night Driver by nbitsstudio 2017-08-01T17:23:32Z

Good job on the car handling it's good!

I Really love the shader used in this game and music really fits the scenery.

But i still feel it's missing something?

Rocket Barrel by Johnnyc1423 2017-08-01T10:55:00Z

Haha this is pretty good!

I love the setup.

Exception 39: Core Molten by PanDorfa 2017-08-01T12:48:06Z

Great job! kinda reminds me of doodle jump. (btw the first web link doesn't work as i am posting this)

LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Snake+ by maskinmask 2017-12-05T07:19:30Z

Not only did you make the perfect game for this theme, you added some cool stuff to it.

Very impressive.

Right now the game is quite hard. I feel like the mirror is basically a deathsentence.

Other than that it's really good game.

Slightly annoying traffic by JOrbits 2017-12-05T09:44:01Z

Good job, fits the theme PERFECTLY, and the gameplay is very fun.

There's not much else i can say, you nailed it.

The More, The Worse by pikkufighter 2017-12-05T09:19:00Z

Yea, i had no idea what the actual objective was. I am guessing it's to shoot the thing that you see at the start? I shot it few times and nothing happened.

What is this score you're speaking of, how do i see it?

Also, i think a crosshair would be nice as it's very difficult to aim without one.

Dungeon Boy! by nardandas 2017-12-05T09:07:18Z

I thought the controls were great, felt very natural.

Audio and graphics are amazing considering this was done over a weekend.

Only problem is see in this game is that, i feel like i don't have a reason to explore the dungeon.

Hell-A Work by kukiri 2017-12-05T07:53:23Z

The game looks really good.

The first time i saw an employee jump out of the window, it was so unexpected that i couldn't stop laughing LOL.

There were few times where the employees just got stuck near the door when they were trying to leave, just thought i should mention this.

I Also noticed that you can get away with just always pressing yes to everything, you don't really need to think that much.

Overall, i thought the game was funny, but needs some new features.

Wonder Land by neowhoru 2017-12-05T08:20:46Z

The game has very cool design. I've actually never seen a game where you have to think which pickups you have to pick. the level 1 was amazing. level 2 was not as hard, atleast in my opinion.

f12 brings up the devconsole in web build, you might want to change the key. :D

SHOPPOTRON by basecase 2017-12-05T07:38:07Z

My first thought was that the controls were quite janky, but it's probably by design, i just thought i should mention this.

I love the programmer art style, you nailed it in the graphics department.

I recommend that you don't start draining battery at the start, let the player see what's going on. Once they move once, start draining the battery.

Night City Challenge by makerart 2017-12-05T08:46:09Z

Very interesting.

The camera effects look cool when you're in motion, the problem however is that the camera is changing constantly even when you fail to reach the target platform (at the beginning), which makes it incredibly hard to recover from failure.

I would make the camera change only when you're in motion and add some kind of replay button when you lose.

Interview at Cacophony by Christoph 2017-12-05T08:29:17Z

I like the idea, but for some reason i couldn't select the instrument near the singer. (this was in web build.)

Sänka Viking - A Viking Warship Simulator by Erlatronics 2017-12-05T08:13:29Z

Cool idea.

I think some kind of arrow indicator would be nice for the aiming. (not all the way)

Also, nothing happened when my ship got flipped over.

Hairball by instantnoedel 2017-12-05T08:59:19Z

I dislike the control scheme, it's very awkward to move with keyboard arrows and w to interact with stuff. Are you using your own tech to render the game? If so, that's very impressive.

The performance got really poor after the hair grew a bit longer, but this might be intentional as it's fitting the theme?
