LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Save your diamond factory by Fafnir 2017-12-05T22:12:17Z

Surprisingly fun game! I mean, it's a clicker ... but it's good! :smile: The newgame+ is also a great addition since it changes a fail into new opportunities. Really makes a great difference for the longevity and fun of the game. More upgrades and stuff would be fun and sound of course. Also, maybe it's a bit too easy? Thanks!

Nice and polished little game. Pretty fun to play for some minutes. The polish is really obvious in the gameplay as it plays so nice! It's all about the little details. The story and presentation are good too.

Vroom Vroom Kaboom by profan 2017-12-17T18:53:51Z

Good and fun game, I very much like the idea. The direction of cars is a bit confusing, as other have said. One thing you should know: on a Swedish keyboard (and some other designs) the "^" symbol is a [dead key](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_key) and the "<" and ">" are the same key, so it's not very convenient to type out the programs. There should probably at least be some options for that. See [this for reference](https://forums.crackberry.com/attachments/blackberry-keyone-f445/419377d1489488747t-keyone-swedish-keyboard-layout-2000px-kb_sweden.svg.jpg).

I really loved playing your game! Story based games are always great. Sure, the story was predictable, but it's a good building block if you want to keep working on it. Dismissing dialogs is a must! It gets very tedious otherwise, but of course that's an easy addition for later. And great music!

Kinball by Jose Pedro Dias 2017-12-05T20:28:49Z

I really like this game! The sound, the graphics, levels, concept, etc. I don't really know any pinball games, but the idea of following the ball with the camera and moving the ball between different areas/tiers was new to me. Really great and fun stuff!

However, there should probably at least be some other button for shaking the table. T is not really reachable. Spacebar maybe? But that's just a nitpick.

And I don't really get the connection with the theme. I guess more balls can be more difficult(?) but it's also to great help with completing the levels.

Kim's Party by Angry Squirrels 2017-12-05T20:53:40Z

Good game and especially great pixel art! It was too hard for me though, I couldn't last for more than a minute. But maybe that just says something about me...

Property In-spectre by Tad 2017-12-05T20:14:14Z

From a gameplay perspective it would be nice with some incentive to not just spook all the time. As it is now you can just run around and spam the spook button and it works pretty good. This is of course dependent on what you are supposed to do... is it a memory game (from what you see in the initial scene) or a look-for-clues type of game? For the former there should really be some penalty for spooking incorrectly. Also the controls were a bit unresponsive.

In any case, I like the idea and connection to the theme.

Drugrun by Fluffi 2017-12-05T21:09:37Z

Fun game with good music and a unique humorous take on the theme. It was very difficult though since you couldn't really anticipate the bullets so they were difficult to avoid. It was also pretty tedious to accidentally fall back a level or two if you miss your jumps.

Noisy Thief by CapitanLiteral 2017-12-05T21:46:42Z

A simple little game that's very difficult (unless you make use of the guards-dancing-together-at-the-walkie-talke-bug :smile: ) I like the idea (a stealth game is always great!) but I don't get the connection to the theme at all. Is it bad for the museum the more you steal, or what?

IntenSEAty by Casper 2017-12-05T20:39:14Z

I agree with @tuism. The graphics and music are really good, fun and solid, but it seems as you core mechanic doesn't really shine through unfortunately. With some changes it could be a great game!

Water Your Melons by Kciwsolb 2017-12-05T20:02:28Z

Cool music and graphics. I don't know about the theme: I mean you still have a bunch of watermelons right, how's that worse? :smile: It was also strangely moody (with the music and dark desaturated graphics) for a "farming" game.

Anyway, interesting game, fun to play!

Defender Against the SuperBosses by Charlez245 2017-12-05T21:21:02Z

Although very primitive I do like the art style. It gives it a bit of that *really* old-school look, especially together with the music.

There were some problems with squares just hanging around doing nothing and that you couldn't kill, and some shapes popping out of walls and attacking you. I also think the boss phased out of existence after I shot it some?

Bleeding by allanolivei 2017-12-05T21:27:39Z

Nice little game. It feels like you should be able to move just a little faster, since all of the creatures outrun you? The theme connection was great and unique!

Starving Blue by konomizure 2017-12-05T21:35:21Z

Fun concept! The camera was pretty jerky though (when you jump) which detracts a bit from the overall experience. It was also very unclear what you were supposed to do (some in game help or tutorial screen would be great!) . I did like the graphics though and the balancing mechanic was an interesting take.

Robbery of a Train by Yohoho Games 2 2017-12-05T19:35:39Z

Simple little game, could be very suitable for mobile. It would be great with some upgrades and additional levels and such. Really great sound design and music!
