LD50 — Delay the inevitable

The Cold Night by Steffo 2022-04-08T20:07:00Z

Quite a nice game. I like the graphics - it's very atmospheric, and the music fits the whole thing. And also game mechanics are very clever! Difficulty level is quite uneven in my opinion - it gets too hard too fast (exactly the same as in my game xD), but apart from that, it's a good game. Well done ;)

Orbles by Rongo Matane 2022-04-05T19:47:21Z

This game is fantastic!! Idea is brilliant and gameplay is very addictive. It certainly has the potential to be a full game!

I would suggest adding some instruction in the future though - it took me a while to understand all the rules in game

Heh, your post mortem is practically the same in my case. I spent too much time on things I shouldn't have, which paid off with a rather unbalanced game :/.

However, I really like your game (217 bugs killed!). It's obvious that you worked hard on the various mechanics (shooting is awesome) and graphical effects.

Good job ;D

Routine Medical Examination by Iamsodarncool 2022-04-08T20:46:55Z

Epic voice acting xD. . Your game is really solid - nice music, clever puzzles and well implemented camera! Really cool entry - good job guys ;)

Attack of the Yellow Things by Beelzeboss 2022-04-07T21:11:23Z

Great idea for a game, it has potential. It's obvious that you worked very hard on its mechanics ;). Well done!!!

The Last Stand by MaxKyckling 2022-04-07T18:18:57Z

I too believe that the instructions should be consolidated into a single dialogue box. They would be more readable that way in my opinion. Other than that, once I got all the rules down I really enjoyed playing it :D ( I lasted 6:30 minutes!). The game works very well and for me it fits perfectly with the theme of this jam.

Good job ;)

Go Go Car Boom by Russ Moonbase 2022-04-08T19:48:27Z

This game is really fun :D. It took me a while to get used to the controls, but once I did the game really drew me in. Good job ;)

Fly and Dive by SeabirdDigital 2022-04-06T18:28:06Z

I really enjoyed playing this game. The flying mechanics and dropping water bombs is great, and the graphics are very cute ;).

However, it needs some improvements in my opinion: -better control instructions, -raising the difficulty level. Maybe make the fire spread from a few directions, -maybe a pause button.

Other than that, the game is great. Keep it up :D

DOWN the DUNGEON by renrok 2022-04-09T19:26:11Z

This game is amazing! Great use of the Jam theme - I really hope you make this into a full fledged game. Well done! ;)

Hero's Last Quest by Caym 2022-04-10T20:15:25Z

Great idea to use the LD theme!

I love the atmosphere of this game, it's so peaceful. Plus the music and graphic design complement each other perfectly. Well done ;)

Aliens...S by real_flamingicecubegames 2022-04-07T18:36:03Z

The game is really enjoyable! :D. I like the cutscenes and the graphics - they are really great. Also - since I got used to the controls, the game became very addictive for me xd. Especially with the new enemy types and weapon progression.

Good job ;)

ENDURACE - Drift Or Die by Phillip Scott 2022-04-08T19:38:27Z

The gameplay in this game is so chaotic - I love it :D. Beside that, the graphic design is very nice and the driving mechanic is enjoyable. I'm really looking forward to the further development of this game. Well done ;)

Will Goo by Rafael Garcez 2022-04-05T19:02:50Z

It's really cool game! Level design is well thought out, graphics are nice, music is well chosen, and mechanics like jumping and "stamina" are working pretty well. Like others in comment section said - this game need some additional balancing (goo is too fast in my opinion).

And this little alien is so cute ^^.

Good job!

Lucidity by LagMeester4000 2022-04-05T20:55:43Z

I love the mechanics in this game. Thanks to them gameplay is really entertaining! I would suggest to add more elaborate scoreboard. Other than that, it's a very solid production.

Good job! ;D

Defend the Earth by SeniorWombat 2022-04-07T07:44:22Z

Thank you all so much for the great feedback! :D We are going to develop this game a little bit in our spare time and we will certainly take all your suggestions into consideration.

The first step will definitely be to improve balance of the game.

We will of course try to play all your games in our spare time (if we haven't already)

Thank you again for your support and have a nice day ;)

Defend the Earth by SeniorWombat 2022-04-07T21:03:18Z

@mantsje, @alexsolonnikovp4, @belzeboss, @gamescodedogs, Thanks for awesome feedback ;)

Originally we wanted to add a power-up system to the game. For example, some asteroids could throw out abilities/skills when destroyed - such as a shield over Earth that would absorb some of the damage, or a faster Moon (with a rocket xd) or something like that. We wanted to keep Space button for triggering these skills. Unfortunately we didn't have time to implement this system, which is a shame because we even had some cool graphics prepared for this. power-ups.png

Also i was thinking about moving the ship controls to the mouse (along with shooting on left mouse button). Maybe it would improve gameplay a bit.

Defend the Earth by SeniorWombat 2022-04-09T19:46:25Z

@dob, @nobongo - Thanks for amazing feedback!! :D

Don't Look Up by Lix3nn 2022-04-08T20:24:44Z

Ok, I see that great minds think alike xd. Very good idea for a game ;D. I especially liked the rocket upgrade mechanic! Also the visuals are very pleasing to the eye, and the music fits the whole thing. Really good game - well done ;)

Shadow Rush by Brandsma 2022-04-07T17:55:23Z

You guys came up with a great racing game :D. Driving the car is really very fun, and the ghost-cars mechanic is brilliant! Apart from that, the graphics are great and the music fits the game perfectly. I honestly don't have much to complain about. Maybe that instructions could by more clearer (especially about ghosts )and that level 1 is a bit buggy, but from what I've seen, you already know that ;d

Straw Journey by ArdaKrkz 2022-04-06T21:15:55Z

GOMU GOMU NOOO..

Very satisfying game. I love the artstyle. Good job ;)
