Don't burn my Nugget by Gabriel Bissonnette 2022-04-06T06:38:32Z ♥ 1

i dont understand how to control this game, or what A and D do, but it looks nice and has some good animation.

Winter strikes back! by Biba-sama 2022-04-06T06:35:05Z ♥ 2

really hard to control, but the idea is good. i just want a bit more air control, and it's not obvious you have to hold the space bar to jump higher. i thought i just had to time the space properly with the landing. anyway cool game, i liked the music and sound effects

Akubi by Almax 2022-04-06T06:23:58Z ♥ 3

this is a really cool game. felt really fluid and easy to control. all the mechanics were easy to understand even without any explicit tutorials. very well done.

only thing i didnt like was that sometimes you couldn't jump while holding "right" up against a wall.

Time Lab by Srynetix 2022-04-06T06:21:41Z ♥ 1

really good game, well polished, and really hard to beat

but i honestly couldnt trust the player character because she felt hard to control. when i let go of the buttons, she kept moving, which made it difficult to align her with the tight gaps she had to jump through. Her jump height is really low, meaning she has to double jump to get anywhere, which adds unnecessary complexity to the controls. I'd recommend making her stop quicker and increasing her jump height, then this game would be solid.

overall great game, especially for a jam

This Is Sketchy by Danial Jumagaliyev 2022-04-06T06:19:01Z ♥ 2

the game lagged whenever i moved my mouse, so i got stuck on level 2 :/

if you ever update this, let me know, id love to be able to actually play it

Tamaghost Jump! by Kaiyaki 2022-04-06T06:17:52Z ♥ 1

the graphics and gameplay are cool, but could you please allow WASD movement?

Red Riding Hood by Jiri Hysek 2022-04-06T06:16:33Z ♥ 1

this game is so cool! one of my favorites so far!

Snøball by Thooom 2022-04-06T06:11:52Z ♥ 1

no restart, no tutorials, i couldnt get past the first gap, and had to reload the page to try again. also no itchio build. this looks like a cool game, but theres too many obstacles for me to enjoy the game as it currently is

Rude Bear Restart by alexrose 2022-04-06T05:57:58Z ♥ 1

its amazing you got this much done in game jam time

Climate Crisis by Wilko 2022-04-06T03:37:31Z ♥ 2

Solid game!

It was really cool

Some things bothered me tho. The alerts seem to be continent-specific, but it doesn't tell you which continent you need to build a hospital/firestation/policestation on. I lost the game because I had two police stations, but the alert said I had 0.

The globe was REALLY hard to control. If you make a postjam version, definitely make the globe stop spinning once you let go of the mouse.

Itd be cool if there was a way to tell how much money you're gaining per day in total, and how much each of the meters are going up (or going down).

pretty solid gameplay, very engaging

PS: your itchio page doesn't link to your ludum dare page

pls fix the link i want to play this game

Stolen Goods by DrRozza 2019-10-11T08:09:16Z ♥ 1

really cool idea. the implementation had kinks tho

(1) the robber guy was hard to control because he collided with everything. i dont think his head should collide with the walls, and his feet should not collide with the top of a plant

(2) he moved annoyingly slow but i understand that was for gameplay reasons

(3) the music was really sneaky i loved it

(4) it was really easy to find the items, just getting them all was really hard

(5) the home owners could see you just outside of their range

(6) itd be cool if there were places to hide

(7) the art style made visual communication much easier

overall really cool game just has a few implementation details that could be addressed to make it even more fun

Bob the Brawler by itsdanidre 2019-10-11T08:00:59Z ♥ 1

SUPER SATISFYING

high score: 14838

(1) at first i thought Q was punch because the game told me to press that at the beginning. I would have liked a button to show up on screen at the start to give me a hint. that would avoid the moment of confusion of not knowing the controls

(2) its super satisfying to beat up the masked guys

(3) animation is really cool and music fits really well

(4) i dont know what the potion or the box do but im glad it shows how much time is left to collect it

overall really cool game, just needs more content

Three Little Pigs by Anne Ogborn 2019-10-11T07:54:51Z ♥ 0

i got real excited for this, but i was disappointed

(1) the audio is horrible. its too loud and its very grating. im surprised my ears didnt bleed.

(2) i liked trying to draw houses, but my drawings keep disappearing and nothing else happens. for a pig that needs houses you'd think hed be a little less picky (also i expected him to say something when a house wasnt good enough)

(3) the concept is cool but i didnt have fun with the current implementation

(4) itd be really cool if it used your drawings to make the house, and distorted your house image to match the user's drawing XD (i know i know, you probably wouldnt have time for that in a jam)

(5) also, this happened while drawing with a touchpad: ld45-three-little-pigs-line-bug.png XD

overall i think its a cool idea, with a bit more work you could have a solid mobile game on your hands (id probably play this on my phone when im bored waiting in lines)

Boss Battle Royale by Gold5Games 2019-10-11T07:44:42Z ♥ 1

cool game

(1) haha nice. he has a beard to cover up his naked parts

(2) it took me a couple runs before i figured out how to pick stuff up. i didnt realize i had to mouse over an item to be able to use E. I thought I could just stand next to it like in RPGs

(3) cover to hide behind in an shoot 'em up boss battle! thats new!

(4) pretty clever the boss has an attack to get me to come out from behind cover

(5) i found dodging to be really difficult

(6) im kinda disappointed there's not more items, but I get it, theres only so much you can do in a weekend

(7) IDK what you're talking about man, the dragon attack sound effects were spot on

(8) its evil that you can get trapped in a room and forced to take damage from the fire to get out

overall pretty cool. i rage quit so im not playing it again. but if you polish it up a bit I think itd be a pretty cool game

Evolve! by Allan Urique 2019-10-11T07:19:14Z ♥ 1

I didnt enjoy this game.

(1) I died while reading the tutorial text. It would have been better for the game to be paused (or for you to be invincible) while the tutorial was taking up 33% of the screen.

(2) There's no way to skip the tutorial text. You have to click 4 times each time you start from the main menu

(3) It's really hard to tell if you're going to collide with smaller cells. I missed quite a few that looked like they were going to hit me but didn't. Some kind of indication that I'm on the same Y plane as an oncoming cell would be nice

i like that the cell moves more when it gets larger, thats cool

A Walk From Nothing by A French-Canadian Studios 2019-10-11T07:03:46Z ♥ 1

(1) wow you modeled all those assets in under 48 hours? thats amazing

(2) the narrator audio quality was pretty bad. im not sure how to fix it but im sure it has to do with the setup. the delivery of the lines was ok tho

(3) also, SHIFT to sprint also works. i was really happy to see that

this is one of those games that gets people debating about what a game actually is

couldnt get past the first level :/ sorry not going to bother trying to get farther

NothingMan by Arity 2019-10-11T06:47:42Z ♥ 1

couldnt get past the first level :/ sorry not going to bother trying to get farther

EDIT: sorry, posted on wrong game. i will update this comment when I play this game

EDIT2: ok i played the game.

(1) not being able to see the platforms is frustrating. id say it works better as a level gimmick than a whole game concept

(2) the abilities were cool

(3) I wish Zenyatta had this guy's left shift ability

(4) when you hold a diretion and jump, he gets stuck on the wall instead of jumping to his full height. this stopped me up quite a bit before i found my eyes

(5) I use WASD and the wall stick ability didnt work for the W key

(6) it was cool that the sprite updated everytime you got a new ability

(7) +1 for custom audio and music

Sprout: Tree Simulator - Evergreen Edition by jakemchugh1 2019-10-11T06:34:22Z ♥ 1

A TREE SIMULATOR!!

i havent even played it yet and im already excited!

Nothing by JoelLikesPigs 2019-10-09T07:25:51Z ♥ 0

this game was so clever!

reminded me a lot of DLC quest, but this game felt unique enough with its own style of humor.

i recognized the elevator music! "the girl from iponema" or something

the only thing i didnt like was the blind pit jumps you had to make. srsly man, im not psychic!

the permanent squeaky shoes had me laughing out loud. most hilarious "upgrade" I've ever seen in a game!

congrats on first ludum dare!

Nüllptr by egordorichev 2019-10-08T08:05:35Z ♥ 1

I HATE THIS GAME

this is the first game tonight that made me rage quit. congrats!

[sarcasm] i just love that the power ups move at the same speed my ship does, so if they ever get below me I have 0% chance of catching up to them [/sarcasm]

overall, it is a very nice polished game. +1

things i hate about it:

(1) arrow keys only with no option for reconfiguration. come on, man, WASD!

(2) i would have much preferred WASD + space

(3) i wasnt really sure what all the power ups did

(4) the powerups often hid behind enemy fire, meaning collecting it was going to be useless

i have to give you props for

(5) mario-like health system where power ups give you extra life

(6) a red line indicating the current record. that was pretty cool!

(7) the music and the art style went along really well with the gameplay

(8) easy-access cheat menu. still didn't calm my rage tho

overall a great game but the controls and some mechanics made me rage quit

World Collector by Joe Williamson 2019-10-08T07:47:24Z ♥ 1

what the crap how is this game so good?!?!

you had enough time in 48 hours to animate all that, make the audio and soundtrack, and program the mechanics? that's amazing!

(1) animation was great

(2) intro hooked me right in right away. amazing

(3) main mechanic was pretty cool. could be a full game, level-based or open-world IMO

(4) i want to be able to scroll around while zoomed out so i can go way down or way up

(5) having SPACE as the zoom out button threw me off. that's my main jump button man! i died once because of it!

(6) speaking of dying, losing all your piece placement and status seems like a big punishment. I was thinking it would just start me off at the beginning of the piece i died at

(7) the rectangle piece is rather boring, but i get it you had limited time to make interesting pieces

(8) music man, wow, fit the game to a tee.

dude, when you make this a full game, let me know. ill buy and make a youtube video about it

also, no spoilers, but, i really liked the ending. that was cool

whoa i cant believe this but this game takes the cake for #1 from two other really cool games. amazing work, man!

REWRITER by johjoh 2019-10-08T07:27:04Z ♥ 1

really cool game!

#2 best game ive played so far today.

i dont really have any complaints about this game, it ran smoothly, it was fun to play, the controls were tight and my death was fair. the only thing i could think of was that I couldn't easily tell how much health i still had, and some of the pickups weren't clear. but overall it was very fun and engaging

and having the enemies hit you with walls, such genius! well played, sir, well played

Build Yourself by lilkrit 2019-10-08T07:17:00Z ♥ 0

first game ive seen so far made in blender. youre an absolute madlad, making your game in blender. hats off to you

my fav part was using the ramp in the first level to ride the wall and completely skip the purple section. it made me feel clever

(1) pressing ESC exits the level and takes you to the main menu screen, losing all your progress. i quit playing after discovering that.

(2) i dont get the scrap mechanic but i enjoyed finding the new abilities and oddly enough, trying to steer the car along the narrow bridges was actually pretty fun

good job!

Trelet ~ The Land of Words by Ovidios 2019-10-08T07:01:26Z ♥ 1

this is a really cool concept

(1) it's a real hassle to have to press the up and down buttons to select the letter. it'd be easier if i could hold it down to continue selecting or select it with my mouse.

(2) it would be handy to be able to see further ahead

(3) i felt like i never had enough letters to continue. and it felt like making longer words really wasn't worth it.

(4) i think it's a cool concept but the first level needs to be shorter or just accept that it's going to be an open-world kind of game

(5) it felt like it wasn't worth it trying to build up back to the wizard guy, who gives you hardly anything for all the words it took to get back to him

(6) an in-game tutorial would be nice

(7) this is basically Scrabble: The 2D Platformer, and it's awesome!

Planet Z33 by LanaLux 2019-10-08T06:33:57Z ♥ 1

definitely felt creepy and like there was impending danger

unfortunately i didnt get too far into it

looks like it was probably going to be a cool game, but i died at night at it was still light out and i couldn't be arsed to walk all the way back to the base from the beginning again

VELOCE by torfi 2019-10-08T06:16:03Z ♥ 3

by far the best game ive played so far in the jam

the music is upbeat and really adds to the action atmosphere of the game.

it's really to get into the zone and dodge all the enemy projectiles, especially since the color coding and sprite differences make it really easy to tell which particles are good and which are bad.

i really cool game i want to play on my phone when im bored

lotor by torcado 2019-10-08T05:39:30Z ♥ 0

a really cool idea!

(1) it needs to have some way to reset the level entirely, because you could fill the entire level up with blocks / hazards and have no chance of completing it. in the first level it's not a big deal, but in later levels it's a hassle to have to redo the entire game because you placed random hazards in a way that was unwinnable.

(2) it would be nice to know what the next thing you're placing is, but i understand if the surprise is part of the game design.

(3) i really like this idea but it definitely needs some form of in-game tutorial. like make a first level that gives you the star, the cat, and a few blocks, and have it display the "enter" key on screen to let players know they need to press it.

overall really cool. if you fix the bug where i can't reset the entire level, i'll give you more stars

Rock 'n' Bomb by izi 2019-10-08T05:29:22Z ♥ 1

link's broke :/

Chad's Revenge by geometrywars64 2019-10-08T05:28:06Z ♥ 1

i died and i didnt feel like trying again

(1) its interesting that you tie jump height to the RPG mechanics. i dont know many games that do that, and that could be an interesting way to gate off high-level areas.

(2) the movement was slow and felt really janky, mostly because the run animation didn't fit his movement speed.

(3) it was really grindy. it took me like 7 levels just to be able to 1-shot the first slime enemies.

(4) the enemies spawn way too many at a time. the nidoran enemies had an entire flock by the time i got to them, and i was too overwhelmed to be able to figure out their movesets completely.

(5) I forgot what strength and dexterity did. a tooltip would have been nice

(6) the slimes looked cute and cuddly :3

(7) i hated having to fetch my XP, especially when they fall into the nidoran pit below. automatically granting XP upon killing an enemy would have been much preferred

Overall, had potential, but I think the execution could use a lot of improvements.

Rude Bear Refurbished by alexrose 2019-10-08T04:56:41Z ♥ 0

everything keeps disappearing into a wall :/

there's too many bugs for me to find it enjoyable. the buttons are not configurable and they're in a place that's hard for me to reach comfortably. its really hard to move the character around corners and through door ways. objects sometimes go behind walls when you place them, disappearing forever. having to go through the opening cutscene every time you die is a drag. no music and the sound effects are rather annoying because of how loud they are.

this game is hilarious tho. you have no furniture so you steal it from your neighbors XD its my head canon that this is a prequel to your Ludum Dare 43 entry. itd be really cool if you spruced them all up and put them all together in one game and each ludum dare entry is a chapter. that would be cool

a Journey and a Blank slate by glimaleite 2019-10-08T04:32:41Z ♥ 0

a found a bug: the 'Resolve" tooltip is the same as the "Flee" tooltip in the combat screen also, after fleeing, the move highlighter doesnt update to your new position. you have to click "move" again to see your new move options

I watched @jupiter-hadley play it and didn't play it myself.

man this game is hilarious. the phone is a bit distracting the way it works but its super funny to see what they say when you throw a sheep over the fence XD

The Omicron Fleet by cerno-b 2018-12-30T20:53:37Z ♥ 0

I watched @jupiter-hadley play it but didnt play it myself.

I think it's a cool game with a cool concept. art is a bit lackluster, but the puzzles are the main thing of interest here. i say well done!

Lastcrifices by Cerebral Bore 2018-12-30T20:51:28Z ♥ 0

cool game. i liked how its a schmup without any shooting, just dodging.

its kind of evil tho how the dialogue pops up right when you need to manuever around a wall, distracting you into hitting it

the random character references are cool.

the limited number of lives is a lame mechanic from an archaic era.

overall its a cool concept done well

Machine Godz by Beardmage 2018-12-19T20:25:42Z ♥ 1

really cool game!

the art style, the music, the gameplay!

the robot designs are also really cool, and i like how the choices between rooms are also given to you by unique-looking robots. I didn't understand what each did, but I understand that they were different choices.

very cool, i think this could be a full game

Transit Terror by SlimothyJ 2018-12-19T20:17:40Z ♥ 1

cool game, very atmospheric.

if its one thing ld43 taught me, its that i rather enjoy road trip make-decisions-as-you-go games. And this game was no exception. the moving scenery and the bouncing bus were just very entertaining to watch.

the buttons on the bottom weren't very understandable in that it wasn't clear how they effected the other stats. Like, how do you up your combat percentage? Upgrading the bus? And what's the pink mushy stat on the far right?

Other than the missing information, this game was cool and fun to play

Birds in Space by PopDaddyGames 2018-12-19T20:10:36Z ♥ 0

very polished game. even had in-game video quality settings!

i found it a bit hard to control and hard to tell what the seeds were at first. Also, what do all of the stats do? Shields didnt seem to do anything it feels.

nice graphics nice concept

but alas, I still got some score:

also the title pun is a gem +1

Dark Villagers by AwiX 2018-12-19T19:45:48Z ♥ 2

my guys didnt do anything and got utterly slaughered by the first wave of enemies. Nobody responded to any of my inputs. this game left me confused and dismayed

Bloodless by Wojciech Bruski 2018-12-19T19:40:56Z ♥ 1

cool game.

my only complaint is i cant tell which number to press for each ability, and i cant tell if certain abilities are being used. Like critical hit, i cant tell if its active or not, or if its on cooldown.

concept was cool

also the cutscene and the voice acting was a huge bonus

Burn-Out by Tom Kurcz 2018-12-19T19:28:41Z ♥ 2

technically simple but the execution was phenomenal. i cried at the end T_T im crying right now as i write this post. this game really struck a chord with me.

critique: the word effects were a big part of thee effect of this game. the way they blurred when you were tired, shook when you were rattled, and jumped when you were on edge. Just phenomenal. And the tiny little self doubts popping up after each decision were the cherry on top.

overall a great interactive experience. one of the best of ldjam 43 👍

Aetherspirit by gwinnell 2018-12-19T19:11:30Z ♥ 0

I didn't play it myself but I watched @jupiter-hadley play it and this game looks fantastic! Definitely something that you could expand into a full game IMO!

Coming Home by Robin49 2018-12-19T19:09:08Z ♥ 1

I pressed random buttons and won the game somehow. I don't even understand what I did. This concept has potential, but the mechanics have to be properly introduced in-game.

Space Safe by MrTroy 2018-12-13T21:27:12Z ♥ 1

great game, great concept!

i really like how the player has to decide whether to go fast or carry more people. very cool mechanic. the music really also sells the premise that you're trying to save as many people as possible before they get eaten by asteroids.

the only thing i really wish is an easier way to tell where everything is. like grid lines or something. it would also be easier to read the minimap if it showed you in the center.

overall, great game! very interesting twist on asteroids

also it has nothing to do with ponies :(

Pyme's Genocide by HermesEs 2018-12-13T21:12:26Z ♥ 1

cool game i didnt understand how to play and the jumping felt buggy. I couldnt figure out why the monsters stopped spawning or why i couldnt get to some platforms. Very cool concept has potential if you put more time into it

Keyboard Twister by Papercookies 2018-12-13T21:05:20Z ♥ 1

cool game! i like how it says "for educational use only" at the bottom XD i used both hands. there was no way to beat it with just one lol

Total Party Kill by adventureislands 2018-12-05T07:38:22Z ♥ 0

the best game ever!! so much fun! i have os much to say about this game!

the graphics, art, music, sound effects, animations, etc. were epic

the best part is the mechanics. not only do you have to sacrifice your friends, but each friend has a unique attack and you have to use them to solve unique situations this is the only dungeon game i know where you have weapons that you only use on your allies XD

oh! but srsly! this was so good!

my only real complaint was the lack of WASD and a selection number for each character (1-3 instead of next and prev). but other than that, this game is fantastic! 5 stars all around!

EDIT: My fav part was playing back-and-forth catch with the frozen knight between the mage and the archer XD

Omelettes by stevenjmiller 2018-12-05T07:11:57Z ♥ 1

cute little puzzle game

i had to quit because it was really tiny on my screen (my resolution is really huge on a normal-sized screen) and I couldn't tell how high the platforms were in relation to each other.

overall i liked the concept but i wish it was easier to read the level design

No Brakes on the Train of Life by squaredev 2018-12-05T07:03:28Z ♥ 1

very fun and unique concept.

critiques: 1. it didnt give me time to survey a new level before switching on. it would have been better if the train didnt show up until i started moving. 2. the hitboxes on the switches weren't very clear. I think they should be a bit bigger.

the graphics and music and audio were great and definitely gave the game a unique feel. over all a great entry

Foothold by Vinay Rao 2018-12-05T06:51:45Z ♥ 0

really cool concept!

I also liked that it was understandable enough for me to get the gist of the game without reading any of your tutorial text.

destroying platforms as a way of killing enemies, absolute genius! I liked cheesing it by destroying almost all the platforms and just making the enemies walk into pits XD

i could totally seeing this becoming a full fledged game

my high score:

Bloodgold: Sunken Treasure by BinarySpark 2018-12-05T06:01:17Z ♥ 1

pretty good game! sacrificing gold was a meaningful decision and the mechancis were really cool. i think my favorite part was at the end of the first level when half my screen was covered in coins and my bag was really big. really made you feel like you were encumbered by all the gold you were carrying; that effect was weigh more effective than just having a number counter or saying "encumbered" on the screen like in Skyrim XD

pretty good game! sacrificing gold was a meaningful decision and the mechancis were really cool. i think my favorite part was at the end of the first level when half my screen was covered in coins and my bag was really big. really made you feel like you were encumbered by all the gold you were carrying; that effect was weigh more effective than just having a number counter or saying "encumbered" on the screen like in Skyrim XD

The Sacrificial Adventurer by Lexyvil 2018-12-05T05:37:55Z ♥ 1

cool concept and i liked how you introduced the mechanics. it suffers from a lack of meaningful choices, as you have to sacrifice jump height in order to get past the first ceiling spikes in the second level. having variable jump height would have solved this issue (have the jump not go as high if you let up on the key sooner)

overall great concept

Most Important Person by Kobrar 2018-12-05T05:30:10Z ♥ 2

this game was really frustrating to play. the people died after being thrown even if they didnt get hit by a monster,and it was difficult to throw them down from a ledge. some checkpoints left you without people because they had to come down from the top.

the graphics were ok, the music was great, and the sound effects were immersive. i liked the bounce effects when the people jumped

overall a creative idea

Ho Ho Hold Up by SeanW 2018-12-05T05:04:12Z ♥ 0

ok i guess. the art, music, and sound were great. the concept had potential but i dont think you delivered well on it. Collecting x amount of elves isnt very interesting to me and the game felt like a grind because there were no meaningful decisions to make.

very clever puzzle game! has the hallmarks of a great puzzler, including those puzzles you think are impossible but really aren't once you stop and think about them. Well done!

my only real complaint is that the art style sometimes makes it difficult to see the level layout and how far/ how high certain blocks are. but the overall gameplay and puzzle design is really cool!

pretty cool game, but there's just one problem: YOU MADE ME THROW OUT THE PONY!!! :'(

haha srsly tho, this was a pretty cool and creative game! the art style was really unique, and how you had to strafe the corners was something I'd never seen before. it was also just downright hilarious XD

Catrifices by MrPiedPiper 2018-12-04T08:36:33Z ♥ 1

surprisingly well-animated for a gamejam game. music and audio are very nice as well!

however, the game was very confusing. as a rule, i play the game before i read its ludum dare entry page. i was so confused as to what the controls were, even after reading the instructions. it didnt help that the drop off zones were only on one side of the map, and they weren't the white circles (i dont even know what the white circles were). The white circles were easier to spot and easier to identify as an interactable game object

overall, not too bad for a first game!

Night's End by glimaleite 2018-12-04T08:14:40Z ♥ 1

SO COOL!! normally i find tower defense games boring, but the story and the mechanics, and the artwork just drew me right in. so intense!

unfortunately i had to quit half way through because it was being so glitchy it was unplayable. I'd be up in the sky and it'd just randomly teleport me directly below, to the house, or to any other random place. i dont know what caused it, but if it werent for that glitch, id have finished this game.

i have no reservations about giving this game 5 stars all across the board! bravo, sir, bravo! 👏

NOOOOOOO!!! it was just getting good, and she had to go!! 😭

the mastermind puzzles weren't well explained, but i knew them already so it was a fun refreshing break from the average match 3 dating sim minigame

played on the post-jam version and there was an occasional glitch where a mastermind square was supposed to be green but it was red instead.

so funny! i liked how you got arms and legs by killing enemies, and it also served as your health bar. really clever mechanic!

Fritten Madness Extreme - Dungeon Edition by FredR121 2018-12-04T05:51:37Z ♥ 1

cool little platformer, very tight controls it seems there was a cooldown on the gun that wasn't made very obvious (or maybe i was firing at my feet?) that twist ending really got me, like surely i can make that jump.... but NOPE that was the point!! what the hay?! overall a fun little adventure

Glow It Alone by egawag 2018-12-04T05:33:47Z ♥ 2

nice game guys! the mechanic of your dead guys becoming platforms and barriers was really cool.

if you expand on it, id recommend adding some kind of checkpoint system, where once you get past an obstacle, you don't have to keep jumping past it with each of your glowblobs

very cool game!

critique: its really hard to tell which character does what just by their name, because i forgot who my shuut and smurt characters were. i really like the scenarios and the sprite selections, its really fun to have meaningful choices.

I sacrificed 54 goats. *stretches arms nonchalantly* Yep, I only got a high score of 5350. Nothing major or anything.

I played on a touch screen, and that made it a lot easier.

Piggle Puzzle by fractalsunrise 2017-12-05T04:46:41Z ♥ 2

Pretty good! The audio, sound effects, and music were all very good. The puzzle mechanics were interesting and unique. They really make you think about what would happen. I like that you can easily reset the game without any hassle.

Hero Human Man-Pirate by Iamsodarncool 2017-12-05T04:36:12Z ♥ 3

This was very cool! The first cutscene wetted my appetite for an epic adventure, and then it dumps me in this schmup-like ship collecting treasures and dodging wrecks. The gameplay felt very bland, but the story was inttriguing.

Oh and the voice acting! Who could forget that? That was the best part! The rare voice acting on the menu screen was absolutely hilarious and the cutscene VA was pure gold. Whoever did that you are a star.

BANANA BOI EVADING YA TRASH by Kubi Entz 2017-12-05T04:20:59Z ♥ 1

Haha this was pretty funny. I don't get the title but from the game I gather that I'm a bear fishing for fish that are jumping up river? That's the best that I could describe it. I like the highscore board that's a nice touch.

Infirmiter by poetryoffear 2017-12-05T04:17:04Z ♥ 0

It was ok. It wasn't very intuitive as to how shooting worked, and killing enemies didn't feel satisfying. The enemies should play an animation or a sound or both when they die to reinforce the fact that you destroyed them. Also, your rotation seemed rather arbitrary because of how your weapon works.

The music was good, but I didn't really enjoy playing it.

Buried by Books by PaperbackGorilla 2017-12-05T04:06:00Z ♥ 1

This is the best LD40 game I've played so far! It's absolutely hilarious, relatable, fun, and very entertaining! It's a little rough around the edges and it has a disappointing "ending" (I think you just ran out of time), so I hope you continue to develop it because I'd absolutely like to play more of it. The book mechanics and how the level keeps changing as you get more books is just absolutely brilliant.

If you were to update it, I'd definitely add more frames to your walking animation, and add more visual feedback, especially for when you activate a checkpoint, when you die and go back to a checkpoint, and when you go through a door (cutting directly to the next scene is sometimes a bit confusing). There's a few non-optimal things with the mechanics, as well: she stays in the climbing animation even when she's at the top, there is no jump forgiveness (which means letting the player jump off the ledge a little late, almost from midair), and other things that make the normal jumping not feel to great, maybe a bit of floatiness too?

IDK, but the overall idea of this game is absolutely brilliant and I hope you continue to develop it.

Weeb Runner by Natsu 2017-12-05T03:41:19Z ♥ 0

Funny concept and great implementation of it. I thought it was hilarious. It's also very punishing if you don't have bot-level input. It has no ledge forgiveness which makes it near impossible to complete, especially since it has lots of very difficult platforming sections right at the beginning.

My Alien Life! by muromets 2017-12-05T03:37:45Z ♥ 0

Pretty funny concept, and definitely something for aliens to consider. The controls were a little buggy and it was too easy to get stuck on walls. The gameplay basically boiled down to how fast you could press X, which is a lazy mechanic IMO. Other kinds of minigames would work better in this situation if you had more time to develop it. My high score was 1.76985 * 10^7! That's the highest in any game I've ever played! The game felt fairly balanced.

Heart Of Stone by holgk 2017-12-05T03:29:31Z ♥ 0

I got stuck at the main menu. None of the buttons worked, except the quit button, which is exactly what I did. Super disappointed because the menu background panning animation made me really interested in playing it.

Vrax by Rasm 2017-12-05T03:20:40Z ♥ 0

It opened up fullscreen but in the top left corner of my screen and I couldn't move it, resulting in me not being able to see the entire screen. The gameplay was ok but nothing unique. Honestly, the screensize issue prevented me from enjoying the game.

I couldn't understand or figure out a bit of it, but it was very creative.

Farmland Invasion by CoderK 2017-12-05T03:00:47Z ♥ 2

Nice graphics and cool concept. The controls felt really weird. It's really hard to control both aim direction and movement direction with the keyboard. I would have recommended moving with WASD and aiming with the mouse.
