Ride the Sauze by Meta-link 2022-04-11T11:32:25Z ♥ 1

Great idea for the theme. I really like the visual style. The collision seemed a little bit off sometimes but maybe I'm just bad at the game πŸ˜„

All in all pretty good for a compo entry. Keep it up!

Predestination by inanimatecarbonrod 2022-04-11T07:04:17Z ♥ 1

Game reminded me of super meat boy. Platformers like this require good controls over anything. It's very hard to get it right but you did a great job and got very close. Midair control and double jump felt a little bit off. The respawn time was too long for this kind of game. Usually you die a lot and want to be back into action asap ~~instead of having time to contemplate your life choices~~. But other than that pretty good job. Graphics and Audio are really nice as well.

The bullet hell part was unexpected but cool. I died after a few waves. Is this endless or does it have an end? I felt like the movement was a little bit slow to react to all the bullets. Also maybe making the player/bullet hitbox smaller would probably make it feel slightly better when navigating through lots of bullets. Really liked the soundtrack in this part.

All in all great entry. Keep up the good work!

Lumberjack by DAk001 2022-04-11T06:34:00Z ♥ 0

Interesting game. Huge fan of parallax effect. I also like the fact that you used Rust and OpenGL. Soundtrack is very fitting. Gameplay became a little bit repetitive after a while.

I noticed lots of single textures while going through the game data. Switching textures in OpenGL can be quite expensive. That's why people usually pack all of their sprites in one huge texture and select subtextures from them. Probably doesn't matter for this case but maybe something to consider for future projects πŸ˜„

Anyway still a good entry with a nice idea. Keep it up!

Night Castle Battle by YaMaisiukDranko 2022-04-11T06:05:13Z ♥ 1

I have difficulty to rate this game to be honest. To add to the already mentioned used asset packs, the audio also seems to be taken from somewhere else:

[here][1]

Gameplay-wise there is an attack animation which is very delayed. You can move and enemies move towards the center. They die when they touch the player and the player doesn't receive any damage. Also not quite a "platformer" yet in the current state.

Even though some artists don't require you to credit their work I still suggest doing it because it looks beautiful.

Nice idea but still needs a lot of work.

Leaf the Ghost behind by BiOs3008 2022-04-11T05:26:54Z ♥ 3

Nice art style, fitting soundtrack and I like the sound effects. Some jumps are kind of hard so I definitely agree on the coyote time.

Good entry. Keep it up!

Bropocalypse by Wizard 2022-04-11T05:07:20Z ♥ 1

Funny story. The curve on how fast Zombros spawn seems a little bit sudden. At first it was manageable but then they just flooded the gym. As mentioned by someone else some kind of effect when shooting would be really cool. The topdown view reminded me a little bit of Hotline Miami ~~so naturally I tried to grab a dumbbell as a weapon~~. There are probably lots of things that could be used as a weapon in a gym. But all in all still a nice take on the theme. Keep it up!

Torture and Ascension by geekguy100 2022-04-10T11:04:43Z ♥ 0

Nice entry. A nice soundtrack in the background would have made it even better. Other than that solid game for 10 hours. Keep it up!

Coolant! by iambaangkok 2022-04-10T10:57:56Z ♥ 0

Hard game, charming graphics and hilarious sound effects. Instant death is a little bit too harsh I think. Other than that great entry. Keep it up!

The Apocawiz by shadow64 2022-04-10T10:48:26Z ♥ 1

Great game. I'm a huge fan of ALTTP so this made me a little bit nostalgic almost. I played with my gamepad and I would not say that holding down firing would be better. I really like the button mashing part. But I can see how it's different with a keyboard. Pressing space bar all the time is hard. Maybe a different button like `J` would have made it easier for keyboard users. But anyway, really polished game. Great graphics and soundtrack. Also the sound effects are nice. The mage boss is really well designed. I like how the flames spawn continiously in a circle.

Thanks for creating this game and keep up the good work!

Island's End by Cubzer 2022-04-10T10:36:19Z ♥ 0

Nice take on the theme. I would have liked a mini map to see where the next wave spawns. Also sadly no audio. The animations and graphics were nice though! Keep it up!

Hairless Soon by Beebo Studios 2022-04-10T10:22:28Z ♥ 1

Great idea! Graphics and audio are extremely good. Interesting take on the theme. As already mentioned by others, gameplay became a little bit repetitive after a few days. All in all it is still a really nice jam entry. Keep it up!

Healer's Handbook by javi7 2022-04-10T09:52:35Z ♥ 3

What a great game. First of all I really _lΓΆve_ to see something else than an engine being used to make the game! The pixel art is incredible and the soundtrack is very fitting. Soundeffects are also very nice. The gameplay itself is very innovative and fun. Took me a while to figure out what I was supposed to do, but once I got the hang of it, I enjoyed it a lot. Also I don't know if it was intended but the console window was still there. If it wasn't intentional then you can remove it for release build in the `conf.lua`: ```lua function love.conf(t) t.console = false end ```

I hope this game idea will be continued. I like the rune drawing to cast spells. Keep up the good work!

Death Will Find A Way by ashley watson 2022-04-10T09:31:14Z ♥ 1

Nice take on the theme. The soundtrack fits perfectly. Sound effects are a little bit loud. Controls feel floaty but I got used to it after dying a few times. Might feel better after some tuning though. All in all a nice entry for a jam. Keep it up!

Turbo Toilet Tomfoolery! by RonanRory 2022-04-10T08:42:38Z ♥ 1

Great idea. Even though you are saying the controls are like this on purpose it's still infuriating getting through doors πŸ˜„

Still made me laugh. Thanks for the game!

Out Of Gas! by mortalfosca 2022-04-10T08:33:20Z ♥ 3

Nice game. I like it! Driving in the center with the motorcycle felt a little bit overpowered until I crashed into a car πŸ˜„

outofgas.png

Good work. Keep it up!

Delay the CATastrophe by byazzle 2022-04-10T08:15:57Z ♥ 1

Cute game. I like the art style. Grabbing cats felt hard sometimes though. Maybe an increased hitbox would make it easier.

Anway still great. Keep it up!

Baking Simulator 2022 by Sarah 2022-04-10T08:04:02Z ♥ 1

Nice and cute game. I wish there would be a button to clean kitchen utensils in real life πŸ˜„

I was able to get more batter out of the visually empty mixer bowl while baking the chocolate cake after baking cupcakes. Maybe a small bug? But nothing game breaking. Can't overfill the pans anyway.

Also noticed the 1/3 missing on the unit list:

baking_simulator_unit_list.png

But those are just minor things I noticed. All in all great entry. Keep up the good work!

RIITA by wobs 2022-04-10T07:35:17Z ♥ 7

Great game! I wish I would be good at rhythm games. Also I didn't quite like the keybindings. I don't know how to place my hand on 1-5. I used 1-4 with my left hand and 5 with my right hand but that confused me a lot πŸ˜„ Anyway amazing entry with great art, music and an excellent idea for the theme! Keep up the good work!

Attack of the Yellow Things by Beelzeboss 2022-04-10T07:22:22Z ♥ 2

I like the idea. It has potential but needs more work in its current state. It was very confusing in the beginning.

Also as mentioned already it can take quite some time until the enemy turn is finished. I didn't even know why I couldn't control my units until I discovered the zoom and saw the other enemies moving πŸ˜„

As for turn based strategy I really like to have all the information I can get. Which enemy moves next (attack order), what is its attack range, what does it attack with, actual damage and hp values. Same for the units the player is controlling.

Still an interesting concept. But maybe too big of a scope for a game jam. Anyway good job and keep it up!

Door Man by Mavvy 2022-04-10T07:07:40Z ♥ 1

Nice puzzle game. I liked it a lot. Would have loved to play more levels. Good job and keep it up!

1 Man 6 Bullets by Raphaeltan 2022-04-09T09:35:13Z ♥ 3

Great game and take on the theme. I really enjoyed playing it. Looks really polished. Keep it up!

I have no nose, and I must smell by Enad96 2022-04-09T06:20:09Z ♥ 2

I'm not sure what I was supposed to do but I just explored some planets while listening to the masterpiece of a soundtrack. Nice and relaxing experience

RogueTime by shared 2022-04-09T06:03:26Z ♥ 1

Decent game. Even got myself a place on the leaderboard! Things I noticed while playing: - missing soundtrack. In my opinion soundtracks are really important and can make a game a lot better. - the sound effect which plays on kill is a little bit too "noisy" - arrows sometimes ricocheted after killing enemies. I don't know if its intended. Maybe something to look into. - you can hit enemies from the screen next to them. If they are already loaded maybe don't update damage. - pausing would be nice

Other than that the platforming and collision felt really solid. I also like how you can buy upgrades with time. Great idea and nice take on the theme. Keep it up!

Oh No My Trophy by zimny11 2022-04-08T08:06:42Z ♥ 1

Very nice entry! The tutorial chart was a little bit overwhelming at first. It makes more sense after playing the game. Maybe an interactive tutorial or showing a popup like "X is effective against Y" when a new enemy type appears could be good. But it's still fine as it is. Especially for a compo game. Keep it up!

Also here is my score: oh_no_my_trophy.png

We Need To Talk by Doot 2022-04-08T07:51:43Z ♥ 2

This is a great game. Probably the best I played this jam. Thanks for creating it. Keep it up!

Lumi and the Cloud Shepherd by Heremeus 2022-04-08T07:43:01Z ♥ 1

Great idea. I like the art style. A nice soundtrack would be great. But still a very nice entry. Keep it up!

BOULDER by macaroni.dev 2022-04-08T07:32:23Z ♥ 1

Nice idea. Simple gameplay but still enjoyable. As others mentioned already the dash felt a little bit off. Maybe binding it to a different button without the double tap would make it feel better. Anyway still a nice entry. I liked the artstyle. Keep it up!

Battery Low by Milestone Games 2022-04-07T08:55:06Z ♥ 5

Great entry. I love the art style and soundtrack!

Trolley's Delayma by albertnez 2022-04-07T08:24:55Z ♥ 1

Great puzzle game. Very enjoyable. I love the art style and the sound effects. A small soundtrack would have made it perfect! Keep it up and thanks for creating this game!

Untitled Shooty Game by hungryroy 2022-04-07T08:04:49Z ♥ 1

Nice game! But the movement is a little bit too slow. So maybe faster base movement. But you mentioned upgrades. I think it would be fine with them. Still solid entry. I like it. Keep it up!

Also here is my score: untitled_shooty_game.png

Glide'r Die by adamk33n3r 2022-04-07T07:46:58Z ♥ 1

Those soundeffects are hilarious. Simple idea but very fitting for the theme. Soundtrack would be nice though. Anyway great entry! Keep it up!

Bee Rescue by DmitryGalias 2022-04-07T07:41:45Z ♥ 1

Cute game. I really like the idea. Took me a while to understand what is going on but got the hang of it after playing it a few times. Maybe a tutorial would be nice. Also a soundtrack would be great. Art and sound effects are very nice though. Good work keep it up!

Pompeii Ludum Dare 50 by Devterev 2022-04-07T07:20:56Z ♥ 3

Great art and animations. But it feels a little bit too hard or even unfair when a meteor hits you midair. Still cool entry!

Demon Sigil by Justin Herrick 2022-04-07T07:09:43Z ♥ 2

Nice fun game. Finally an entry where it seems like "getting overwhelmed" again but you can actually win. Shooting up- and downwards felt a little bit awkward because the source of fire wasn't centered. But other than that great game. I like the art style and animations. Keep it up!

Hearts Ablaze by Jon Topielski 2022-04-07T06:57:53Z ♥ 0

Awesome entry. Reminded me a lot of Nuclear Throne. Great art, soundtrack and utilization of the theme. Keep it up!

Pickle-Pocalypse by Theo Clarke 2022-04-07T06:35:57Z ♥ 0

Fun little game. I like the voice acting. It felt like I got overwhelmed by zombies really fast. Maybe it would be nice if the player would get some kind of power ups to at least have the feeling of having a chance at "winning" πŸ˜„

So make the player progress in any way as well but still balanced enough that it stays true to the theme.

Anyway cool idea. Keep it up!

Mars-O-Tage by adncoach 2022-04-07T06:23:34Z ♥ 2

Fun gameplay. I like the idea a lot!

Nice interpretation of the theme. Great entry!

TO THE DEATH (Definitely not a psyche experiment) by Sloke T 2022-04-06T09:00:13Z ♥ 1

That ending was really good. Probably not many have seen it right? Nice idea!

Civil Servant by Daniel Klautsch 2022-04-06T08:53:53Z ♥ 3

Nice game. I wish my choices would have more impact though.

But still a great entry! ~~I approve~~

25 Vikings by Gal Afik 2022-04-06T08:30:03Z ♥ 1

Very nice graphics. Soundtrack and sound effects are good as well. Gameplay itself is hard but that's fine. I noticed some things which could improve the gameplay experience: - Upgrading single troops by clicking them first takes too much time. Maybe upgrade the whole selection?! Not sure - Micro managing different units to open/collect/fight things is also hard. Maybe make selections assignable to slots. For example: "select units, CTRL+1 saves them to the first slot, SHIFT+1 to select units in slot 1. let units in slot 1 open cages, select slot 2 and let them fight some giants"

Anyway for a jam game it is really polished. Keep it up! Also here is my record. Didn't get very far though. vikings.png

Infested hole by lody_giving_teacup 2022-04-06T07:59:47Z ♥ 0

Nice game with good art and a fitting soundtrack. Not a fan of pressing S to jump though. Also when dying it would be nice to see how far you got before sending the player back to the title screen. Maybe even save the score to a file. Other than that it's a fun game which fits the theme. Keep it up!

Live, Flame, Live! by SayuriNyooko 2022-04-06T07:40:00Z ♥ 4

me: "I shouldn't walk too far away from the camp fire or I might get lost"

also me after collecting lots of wood: "where am I?"

Nice and atmospheric game. I like the visuals and the lighting effects. Especially the wolves with the glowing eyes. Keep it up!

Chess? by dreamscale 2022-04-06T07:21:10Z ♥ 2

Interesting mechanics. Models look really nice as well. Keep it up!

Mightiest Minion by poopgames 2022-04-06T07:07:41Z ♥ 0

Great music and really nice visual effects. Interesting game idea but I ran into the same problems as others mentioned above. Camera moving and lags on reset. The jump animation looks really funny. I wish the jump had more use. Anyway well done and keep it up!

Dont Sleep by PhoenixofForce 2022-04-06T06:43:41Z ♥ 1

Funny game. I like the art a lot. This came up the moment I had the same thought: dont_sleep.png A chill soundtrack would have made it perfect. I still like it. Especially the art. Keep it up!

Giraffe o'Clock by Kepsert 2022-04-05T13:22:28Z ♥ 1

Cute art style and great music and soundeffects. At first I thought it's a little bit too much text but it was funny enough for me to still enjoy it. The mini game was unexpected. I'm really bad at rhythm games πŸ˜„

Also got stuck once while dashing: giraffeoclock.png

Nice game. Keep up the good work!

WE ARE DOOMED by andrground 2022-04-05T12:38:21Z ♥ 1

Nice and innovative entry. I like it!

Zombie, M.D. by Starr_Fighter05 2022-04-05T12:32:22Z ♥ 2

Cool art. I like the game idea but the camera movment feels a little bit too heavy. I think the game might feel better with the camera being zoomed out. I also have to agree with bottled-up-dark-peace. Making potions accessible from the top of the desk would make it easier and also prevents being bullied by zombies at both entrances πŸ˜„

Anyway still nice game! zombie_md.ong.PNG

Nightwaker by Bottled up Dark Peace 2022-04-05T12:07:38Z ♥ 4

The great visuals and soundtrack emphasize the gloomy mood. Also I like the idea of having to type to solve things. Good Game!

Virus Bash by joewan 2022-04-05T11:43:51Z ♥ 1

Nice Game. I like the upgrade system. The only thing I'm missing is a soundtrack in the background. Other than that it's pretty good. Keep it up!

Future me problem by noskro 2022-04-05T11:24:02Z ♥ 1

Great game! It matches the theme perfectly.

Choboro by DaivyIsHere 2022-04-05T10:00:23Z ♥ 2

Awesome game. Looks almost too polished for a jam entry πŸ˜„. Keep it up!

Bloodlust by MaDness 2022-04-05T09:19:56Z ♥ 1

Good game! The graphics are really nice and the soundtrack fits the "sneaking around at night" theme. The combat could be improved a little bit. Maybe being able to attack while moving would make the combat smoother.

Also noticed some graphic glitches close to the map boundaries: blood_lust_graphic_glitches.png

But still a nice game. Keep it up!

QUADRATORUM by Blue Pin Studio 2022-04-05T08:29:10Z ♥ 1

Nice game. I like the visuals and the music. But I have to agree with other comments about enemies spawning to close to the player. Other than that good game. Keep it up!

Wicked flame! by Kaldrin 2022-04-05T07:34:35Z ♥ 3

Fun game which fits the theme perfectly! Also really nice visuals. I like how new mechanics are introduced.

It might just be a me issue but I'm the explorer kind of person so when oil patches were introduced I went to the paths that openened first which lead me to out of bounds I think? Maybe something which blocks the player but still lets fire propagate would be good here. wicked_flame_1.png

After dying on this screen the fuse didn't light up anymore. Replayed it up to this point and couldn't replicate it though. wicked_flame_2.png

I really liked playing it. Also great soundtrack. Keep it up!
