LD42 — Running out of space

Wingman by minibobbo 2018-08-15T04:08:05Z

yep love this, the game has a good 'feel' to it too! Going to do more? Like bosses and powerups?

Agree with eveyrone else, feels solid feels good great take on the theme. Awesome stuff!

@swordfish the jumping is awefully floaty, and as @mao said too, scripting the placements of the blocks would be good too and less physics (I sort of liked the chaos) but I think in a perfect world I would do the following:

Change the jumping to be more snappy almost like moving as a tile Change the camera angle some (actually I wasn't sure if it was allowed but I envisioned this camera angle with a VR headset allowing you to look around the warehouse and see what needs to be done). With all that not sure the moving picking up boxes and placing them is worth the effort. I would almost speed up the falling of the blocks and let you jump swap colors and jump more to set up the colors and combos.

Thanks for checking it out and @candlebird not sure what isnt working :( maybe clicking in the screen to get the keyboard and left ctrl and space working i dunno :(

now time to try out more games. :D

@swordfish good point! i just tried your game btw, I am glad you included source haven't seen pygame stuff, the EXE didn't run on my machine cause of dual monitor but maybe a tweak to the source and I can get to run :D

@pnghasemi @minibobbo I already have a version of the game where all the issues are fixed :D. I had no current real game project I was working on so took the feedback and started to beef this concept up. Has been fun so far and thanks for the great feedback. I have to agree all the games I have seen so far this jam is just so much fun, more time off this week means more time to play and try new games!

Read the description and it sounds fun, alas it doesn't run with my two monitor setup. I will have to keep dinking with it.

Simple Space RTS by Storm626 2018-08-15T04:34:06Z

yah pretty impressive busting out with an RTS for a game jam. I like the idea of the clicking on a base and a wheel coming out. With some effort and a lot of streamlining this could even be good run on mobile.

Foggy raft by dimlight 2018-08-15T04:26:41Z

this is freaking great. I love this. The idea of it all, this could make a great mobile game too. Reminds of all good things like my childhood playing intellivision games for some reason. Great job. (

Scrap Yard by CandleBird 2018-08-15T05:16:14Z

Great game, love the animations and the design of the baddies too. Agree with @tigerj where I would love to see the walls close in faster. And maybe a grab and turn at the same time so you can sort of aim/pick the walls you wanna throw them into. But that might throw off the gameplay.

I freaking love this. The graphics worked too (yay for unity! :D ) I love the strategy of dropping the poison to wipe out a ton at a time sort of like infecting them. Great fun!
