LD42 — Running out of space

Bullet Farmer by CMLSC 2018-08-16T10:44:01Z

I enjoyed this game, the art is polished and the mechanics are easy to grasp. having limited bullets that have to be either used for harvesting or shooting makes an interesting twist and adds depth to the game. the only complaint is that I couldn't use WASD to move and the mouse for aiming and shooting (withouth the auto aim mode), that would have made the game even more enjoyable for me. good job!

Deadlock by Geckoo1337 2018-08-27T11:50:51Z

very interesting game! I loved especially the sound effects as an old computer in the background, mood was also excellent! unfortunately I couldn't see how the theme fit. good job overall!

There’s No Place Like Home by Dubgron 2018-09-03T16:31:44Z

some feedback: great graphics, both astronaut as well as asteroid and jetpack boost are pleasant to look at. magic command using tab is great, had to come back to check it out :D

con: the game is way too fast, can't survive more than a few seconds which makes it too frustrating. you should definitely start out slower and then gradually increase speed. seeing how long you lasted/how much you traveled (like a score) would also make the game more complete and interesting. finally, audio could also help out

Obey by conk 2018-08-27T16:52:50Z

fun game, I enjoyed it! it was however quite hard in the beginning to understand the controls and what was the goal of the game. otherwise good job!

Easter Shabobble by King Kujito 2018-08-28T07:49:07Z

cool game, i guess you really like bunnies! game run smooth and was enjoyable. I would just make the pickup animation a bit faster as it slows down the experience

.S by torcado 2018-08-16T13:06:43Z

the game is pure genius. a great take on the platform genre, pretty easy to understand and graphically clean. I just wish you could see somewhere the level #/how many are there and maybe a system with 3 stars based on completion time. great job overall!

no-kill by daniel 2018-08-14T16:49:33Z

fun game! was expecting something completely different from the title but I got it. liked especially the art and the music with dogs barking at a rithm! only moving felt a little too slow, maybe that can be sped up! cool game overall!

No disk space by rayriver 2018-08-15T17:52:19Z

great game, I played it for waay too long although I couldn't figure out the other endings without looking at comments :D both the color palette, the look and the sound all came together to make a very enjoyable experience. well done!

Bath Time by DDRKirbyISQ 2018-08-28T15:40:54Z

wow, one of the best games I played this jam! while at the beginning the premise was a bit funny, I really enjoyed cleaning kittens for the whole 10 levels! the cats are extremely cute and the game is super polished, which really adds to the overall experience. I played on the web but of course this makes much more sense on mobile. great job overall!

Heirs Kingdom by Valter 2018-08-29T13:21:59Z

wow that was a super fun game to play! I really enjoyed the mess of what was going on when you run out of space on your platform :D music was also great and so were sound effects, overall a great game!

Stack Overflow by Erasmus Crowley 2018-08-13T18:25:47Z

at the beginning controlling the blocks was quite hard, especially as WASD maps rotated of 45°. could have had the camera look at a face directly to make it easier. graphics and audio very polished. overall good game!

TINY TOWNS by BearishMushroom 2018-08-14T17:44:24Z

fantastic game, puzzle were hard in the beginning (especially 1st one since the mechanics took a while to understand), but felt very balanced in the next levels. definitely a lot of potential. I would just add somewhere a number indicating which level out of how many you solved. great job!

Boxcorp Employee Training by boaheck-artgent 2018-09-03T16:23:03Z

good game overall. here is some feedback:

pro: - loved the graphics. very cohesive style, really cool, stands out - the theme is right on point - guided audio tutorial definitely helps

con: - bugs in which the boxes fall through floor. this defies the purpose of the game - I found room 1 already too difficult. couldn't beat it and the system with 3 bars (red/yellow/green) wasn't clear enough for me to understand - you smooth the mouse input to turn the camera. this quickly leads to sickness. just get the input raw from the mouse such that the game feels snappy

with some improvement I would definitely come back. good job!

Rainforest by SimoGecko 2018-08-13T21:35:56Z

thank you everybody for the great feedback! I have added the possibility of switching between two control modes - player and camera relative - in the hope that it will be more playable :smile:

Rainforest by SimoGecko 2018-08-14T15:50:02Z

@cdox those would be great additions! thank you for the feedback, will try to do it :smile:

Rainforest by SimoGecko 2018-08-14T15:51:30Z

@sciman101 thank you for the great feedback!

Rainforest by SimoGecko 2018-08-14T15:53:04Z

@kiotikid thank you for the feedback, will try to add coop at a later time!

Rainforest by SimoGecko 2018-08-18T14:46:10Z

@dodoita this is a jam entry, not a compo :) but I might publish it in the future!

Rainforest by SimoGecko 2018-09-03T17:30:56Z

@babypandajr wow that's impressive, well done! Added to the page, and here is your silver medal :smile: thanks for playing! medals_silver.png

Prog-Jet vs Guardians by Bismark 2018-08-14T17:13:44Z

cool game, a bit disorienting at first like other mentioned that the camera just snaps into position and that turns only happen on a fixed grid. with those fixed and increasing speed it has potential :)

6 K by pataya 2018-08-16T21:54:34Z

wow, what a great entry! hat a ton of fun playing it, graphics and sound effects are incredible and really pleasing, the pace is right and you get a ton of satisfaction from the game. Only things I would improve are the spawnpoints of the enemies, not only 4 fixed but having them come from everywhere otherwise you can stay in the middle and shoot diagonally. other than that, great game! 5/5 :smile:

Chambers by RemiCraft 2018-08-27T11:56:40Z

damn next time put a screenshot so I know what I'm getting into! game was interesting, the creature definitely scared me! It just wasn't obvious what was the goal in the beginning, and maybe adding an effect for feedback when picking up an item would improve the game. otherwise great work for your first entry!

Overflow by antoined73 2018-08-14T18:09:11Z

very relaxing, except for the 3rd level :D

The Hero's incredible Chronicles by Gaming Night 2018-08-18T09:37:33Z

ahah you sir win everything! 5/5 humor! graphics were also very nice, I enjoyed this entry! even though it could have been a bit longer, other than that great job!

SHOOTAN by Mehozavr 2018-08-13T20:59:45Z

graphics are phenomenal. gameplay is interesting with the mix of popups and shooting, but way too easy. enemies are very slow and do almost no damage. overall it was fun, well done!

Laser Rails: Chase! by Alex_ADEdge 2018-08-15T16:49:59Z

Wow, I must say that I really enjoyed the feeling of going around with a jetpack! that was smooth and especially when much far from the train going at high speed was great! however once close to the train the enemies were quickly annoying and you couldn't do much. I think if you focused more on the chasing aspect and avoided the player going faster than the train, it would be a great game!

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-08-18T12:14:12Z

wow great game, I really enjoyed it! when I saw it in the feed I had to play it! loved the art style, broccoli are too cute! here are a few suggestions: add audio (can be simple, ie shoot/eat/die), and somewhere a score of how many you killed/score. not sure if you have more enemies but I only got tomato and broccoli, seeing some extra variety would also be good. also, don't have ranged bullets (I get that you want us to move but bullets disappearing is annoying) and make the enemies less bullet-sponges, if you can kill them with fewer shots the gameplay gets more frantic and fun. I would love to come back to the game if you expanded it :smile: cheers!

Dumpotopia by DjeyCreations 2018-08-14T17:29:26Z

art is spot on, really polished. controls feel smooth and responsive, and also the message of the game makes you think. great job!

Hello Ground by Kaiomoi 2018-08-16T22:22:36Z

Real fun game! Loved the graphics and the falling whales :D

duty madness by bhavesh_tiwari 2018-08-17T21:07:23Z

cool game! it took me a while to manage to pickup the items (needed to be close enough :D) but once you get the hang of it it's pretty addictive! would maybe work a bit on what the customers say to improve variety

Camp Snuggle by Scott Steffes 2018-08-18T07:40:45Z

very interesting premise! the game runs smoothly and it was very responsive. rotating the guys works well if you have a mouse and fitting them around the fire, moving those closer to the center outside as if they were barbecue was definitely fun! well done!

Orbital Chaos by Jokku 2018-08-17T21:03:36Z

Unique game, very simple to pick up yet it gets even more challenging the more you play it. the decision of which orbit to send the satellite to adds a layer of depth which is really enjoyable. well done!

Slow Access Memory by Odin 2018-08-15T15:28:50Z

Great concept, it was very enjoyable solving this little puzzle, and the graphics and controls were super! You could have added a simple win message when you reach the final part of the puzzle, and the robot can intersect with some walls, but with a few more programs and levels this would be a polished fun game!

Will Survive by foxserranu 2018-08-16T12:49:05Z

fun game, I enjoyed it. mood was great. it became a bit repetitive in the end, I think if you allowed the player to setup other fires by burning trees or when you have enough wood it would make the game much more interesting. also sometimes you die when you think you still are in the light, if you are close to 6am that's pretty frustrating

Forkin' It Up by Eric Smith 2018-08-16T11:30:52Z

Nice game! as others have mentioned, the controls for the forklift are a bit weird and takes time to get used to it. WASD on keyboard would be better, with maybe Q/E to raise/lower the forklift. I would also make it clearer that you can only interact with marked boxes. other than that fun entry!

Space Intruder by LoneHearts 2018-08-16T21:36:42Z

fun game, pretty straightforward but it sucks you in until you manage to beat it. incredibly hard btw, graphics could use a bit more love. sound was excellent!

Breathing Room by Barondev 2018-08-14T11:17:30Z

great game, had really fun playing it! good graphics, cool mood, and the monsters are stylish! I would just tone down a bit the amount of enemies as most of the time it was mayhem! good job :smile:

Your Friend Compo by Ulcius 2018-08-13T18:18:14Z

pretty cool, especially the irritation system!

Oh no! This is monsters! by Alexey Akulovich 2018-08-28T07:46:11Z

the best thing about this game imho is the weapon variety. it feels really great to be able to choose between such a wide range of different weapons, and having to balance the ammo. if the ammo was a bit scarcer it would be even more fun! what I think could be improved are the graphics. I like the pixel art for the character, weapons and ammo but the enemies seem in another style. making the colors and pixel size a bit more consistent would definitely improve it. good job overall! :smile:

RainForest by Tribbles 2018-08-18T10:29:38Z

ahah great game, we had the same idea for the title :D I really enjoyed playing this entry, good job! I would however make some small icons instead of only text for both items and categories (leave the name, but add something visible) such that you don't have to read too much text and you can go faster!

Deadly Confines by ParkerDuncan 2018-08-17T13:51:05Z

what a great little gem! the game was fun, sprites well made but the best part was hands-down the music, I really enjoyed it! great job guys :smile:

Out Of Mind by Biebras 2018-08-14T18:52:43Z

cool game! I can see the style of BlackThornProd in your art :D

ECO WARRIORS by FreeLivesGames 2018-09-04T18:15:30Z

what a great game! this was definitely one of the most enjoyable I played in this LD. the final bonus mission really made me happy as I thought I already finished the game! Loved the humor, audio and graphics, not to mention the super animations and effects. Would love to see more weapons and levels for this game as it was extremely fun. Two things you can maybe improve is to make it more clear when you are reloading (more sound/animation) as I was often surprised I could not shoot anymore, and also maybe increase the bullet per mag count. I would **LOVE** to see a tutorial from you on how you developed this, especially animations and explosions, as I think we could all learn a lot from you. Keep up the fantastic work! :smile:

Smart Gecko by Zariel 2018-08-14T21:29:23Z

nice puzzle, loved especially the name :smile: if you go too fast however it doesn't register the tile you were on and you don't eat the fly. should make sure that always happens

Uninstall by Deadeyejoe02 2018-08-14T21:23:05Z

fun game, loved especially the take on the personality of the different apps! good job with the sound also :smile:

Running Out Of Spice by Raivk 2018-08-16T22:06:29Z

very fun game, enjoyed the hell out of it! graphics and audio are 100% on point. the text that appears when you pick up spices was hilarious too! complimenti well done! maybe the only remark would be to also allow WASD to control the spaceship, other than that great job!!

Stuck! by chkkll 2018-08-13T18:32:55Z

great game, cool polished graphics, loved the fact that I had to push between different rows and satisfying throwing out of the subway the guys close to the doors :smile:

LD46 — Keep it alive

Coffee Beast by KneehatGames 2020-05-02T11:48:49Z

Very fun game, I enjoyed a lot the bean smashing part :smile: movement is also incredibly smooth
