LD38 — A Small World

Sentai Survivor by Sir Daniev 2017-05-01T16:39:16Z

@jojocanard thanks! We were planning on more obstacles and different characters/stages, but the time got us unfortunately T.T. (Godot isn't exactly friendly towards 2D animation).

LD39 — Running out of Power

AI-Bot Problem by Neon 2017-08-01T00:13:14Z

Interesting concept for a puzzle game. I felt like a 50s phone operator somehow. It was only missing a music.

Last Job by ALeal_Dev 2017-08-08T03:12:04Z

Nice 3d art and setting, kinda reminded me of Orcs Must Die for some reason. The only thing I would add gameplaywise would be a circle or area highlighted in front of the furnaces to tell where do you need to be to put coal in. Really good job!

(I could only play on the html version since the windows one always crashed here, I don't know why.)

Super Starcade PANIC by Ellian 2017-08-21T02:05:12Z

One of the games that kept me playing longer in this LD. Really cool idea, an arcade management game! I'm looking for how this game will evolve.

The only thing that I felt that was not good was that when the day ends there is a little whiplash on the music transition. And that there is no proper difference on which cartridge you buy.

Orbital Rescue by sanojian 2017-08-05T18:00:04Z

Really enjoyable planet slinger. Just a little too hard and the lack of any tutorial kinda frustrated me in the beginning.

Shekateka by dietzribi 2017-07-31T23:54:40Z

Amazing job. Had some of my most tenses moments with a LD game yet. I'll remember never try to kill the three-eyed-demon-ghost red bird (Ted, for those close) with just on life... it is nerve wrecking kkkkk

Qwt by gentoogames 2017-08-07T01:15:38Z

Amazing game, especially considering it was your first team try. Good Job and good luck on your next LD! :)

Zone Slayer by mmason 2017-08-08T03:36:31Z

Interesting game. The tank controls kinda putted me off, but I don't know if that was intentional to make it harder tho.

Brass Garrison by gamechoy 2017-08-19T08:09:28Z

The music fitted just right into your game. If you put the jetpack control in a double jump (w+w), I think it would be more intuitive to use. I got completely lost during the puzzles too.

Pain That Binds Us by Jungle 2017-08-01T20:28:45Z

Amazing pixel art, music and concept. Went a little too fast from the spandex action flick to a deep and dark tone, but it was a nice fall into the depths of a hero's mind. I got stuck in the "Q" QTE part though, was that on purpose?

ZapDune by diptoman 2017-08-05T23:51:56Z

Excellent pixel art. Amazing music and sounds (a bit too loud but good). And one of the best gameplay i've seen during this LD. Really fun to play. I'm really looking for to what it will become in the future. :)

Defend Home: Mars by sgt3v 2017-08-02T05:55:49Z

Nice FPS, just a little too slow for me (I got spoiled by the fast pacing of some titles, sorry). Somehow it reminded me of Earth Defense Force.

A good game, but unfortunately has some major bugs in it (hehe, sorry... had to be done lol).

Spacy adventure by egordorichev 2017-07-31T23:31:46Z

Simple but fun. Nice! Initially I thought that the power ups were some kind of missiles T.T.

And... Dammn! Those explosives animations look AWESOME!

Amazing job!

(I only wished for a download link, so I could keep it to play later too)

Your Friend Is Lost In The Woods by pilly 2017-08-08T03:31:17Z

Awesome level design. I got lost in the woods too since both me and my friend were bad at knowing where we are, but still a good game :)

Devious Plant Commando by Marcenat 2017-07-31T22:52:15Z

Nice graphics and awesome gameplay. Cool song, but the guns were a little bit too loud compared to it (tuning them down just a little would make it better I guess).

The only thing I missed was some sort of melee attack. (I ran out of bullets faaaaaast). (the walking controls felt a little bit floaty when transitioning rooms, was that intentional?)

Away Team by Joe Miller 2017-07-31T23:24:45Z

Cool squad management game. A little bit too "menu-heavy", but is to be expected on this kind of game.

The text was quite hard for me to read (I don't have the best sight in the world, but black on gray doesn't mix that well for me T.T)

Sky Sea by Zeriver 2017-08-05T17:38:16Z

Nice game with an amazing atmosphere. Really good job :)

DraBot by gil4 2017-08-08T05:53:52Z

Interesting art, but felt that the gameplay itself was a bit too slow. (the enemy's pistol looks a little bit to... phalic... not so sure if it was intentional)

A Call for Power by Random Wizard 2017-08-01T20:18:09Z

Really cool pixel art, but really counter intuitive gameplay ( I tough I was supposed to dodge the leafs or something). Good job.

Rolling out of power! by Willbl3pic 2017-08-05T17:42:25Z

Interesting running game, but I got a major bug that I would always die when restarting... Enjoyed the tron-like feel.

Eclipse by SaraMartins 2017-08-07T02:00:55Z

A really calming and chill game in the surface but stressful when getting in the end of the maze/eclipse. Awesome music/mood. Good Job. :)

Fuse Cell by christina-antoinette-neofotistou 2017-08-08T06:08:43Z

Cool Shmup. The art reminded me of Metal Slug / Advance Wars (which is awesome :) ). Cool animations, but felt that the player could have some too. The Drain mechanic was a really nice touch, but some times I would die when doing it (I don't know if it was registering as as collision too).

Guardian Stone by Mr.MadCat 2017-08-01T20:37:17Z

Nice story and setting. A good adventure :)

BATTERYMAN RECHARGES THE WORLD! by XAVIER_INDIE_GAMEDEV 2017-08-07T00:57:19Z

A really cool game. Enjoyable from beginning to the end. Good Job. :)

Doki Doki Magica by Sir Daniev 2017-07-31T11:44:34Z

Hi @sun-wukong

Thanks for the feedback. We tried to keep it simple, both the art and the gameplay, since we didn't had much time to work on it. We started on the saturday evening and had to stop around 8:00 PM on sunday (in other words, around 24hs only). It was harder to gather everybody since the LD's reschedule (some of us had to work on saturday/friday and early in monday).

We even started working on a platform stage and a cutscene, but had to cut them out since we were running out of time T.T .

About the variety, there is a boss stage on it ;) with some variety. You just have to endure a little bit more :) .

Can you tell when did the power ups stopped appearing? (yes, it is a bug, I'll fix it).

Doki Doki Magica by Sir Daniev 2017-07-31T11:44:34Z

Bugs fixed. version 1.01. (thanks @sun-wukong :3 )

Doki Doki Magica by Sir Daniev 2017-07-31T23:33:06Z

@besslaaneshi You can keep the space pressed and she will auto-fire :)

Doki Doki Magica by Sir Daniev 2017-07-31T23:57:35Z

@besslaaneshi, the game gets harder but is doable. That was the difficulty setting for those of our team that weren't prime button mashers (aka. me T.T).

Doki Doki Magica by Sir Daniev 2017-08-02T03:29:01Z

@littlelegend, @nekonemo, thanks for the feedback :) I added a post LD version with the HP bar and made it a little easier (I, as a monster hunter fan didn't think a hp bar was a necessity, sorry).

@bill-zeng. YES! We all agree that Suzy Majestic-chan needs her own spin-off now. lol

Doki Doki Magica by Sir Daniev 2017-08-02T18:27:31Z

Thanks @vulpem, there were some issues with her iframes. I adjusted her difficulty curve to be gentler, but I'm afraid that she got too easy. Maybe I'm biased by knowing all her patterns -.- .

I've added the link to the version 1.03.

Doki Doki Magica by Sir Daniev 2017-08-03T13:27:47Z

@cnoble, thank you :). I'm currently working on balancing the power ups, but I'm afraid to make it too hard (I left like that since it was way too difficult). And we are truly looking for to continue to work on this game. More enemies, more mecanics, more levels and maybe more buffed up bosses :P

@loadsofmana, sorry. We thought of using the theme in a mecanic stand point. It needs adjusting. T.T

@descrout, thanks. We'll work on that :)

@rikoclon. The lack of eyes was a design decision. We saw it being used on several animes and decided to try it. Thanks for the feedback, I'm currently working on rebalancing the power ups.

Doki Doki Magica by Sir Daniev 2017-08-05T20:38:26Z

@bobbytables, you were the first one to find my exploit :3 well done (we even left some cheats hidden :P). Which version did you try (1.0, 1.01 or 1.04)?

Doki Doki Magica by Sir Daniev 2017-08-05T23:55:23Z

@almax, yeah... I was working on that but ran out of time to implement these, we even left out a "helper" to shoot more projectiles. (we tried to add a platform stage too... but it drained most of our time and didn't work properly. T.T )

Doki Doki Magica by Sir Daniev 2017-08-13T00:26:10Z

@idinakloppstock, @vodzik, @johnnwfs, @saramartins, @mr-madcat and @waveform-modulations

Glad to see you liked :) Thanks

@johnnwfs We will fix that in the future, we ran out of time during the LD and had to leave it like this. Sorry.

@saramartins We will try other ones. We chose those fonts mostly at randomin the final moments, sorry.

Mad Trax by boats 2017-08-02T23:04:35Z

Cool game with a interesting design a mix of settings, a cybertronic western. Took me some time to understand what to do in the beginning but was a nice one. Congrats.

Overcharged by lectvs 2017-08-05T17:49:52Z

Awesome game! Fun as hell! And I cannot see someone getting the good ending since it is the ultimate goal of a machine to kill all the puny humans! Loved the intro and the pixel art style. Everything just matched! I hope you continue to work on this game afterwards.

No Sorcerer's Sky by TheFlyingKeyboard 2017-08-02T05:49:00Z

Interesting management game. The cool zen music was a really good match for it. The only thing that it needed was a good tutorial.

Power or die by Aterlamia 2017-08-02T05:28:15Z

Fun game from a difficult genre to play and build. The mood reminded me of old space strategy games. Well made game, cool art design and well written dialogs. Congrats.

I could spend an outstanding amount of time playing it, but unfortunately, my incompetence killed us all T.T.

Constellation Exploration by matfernandestt 2017-08-08T03:16:51Z

An interesting game with simple but fun mechanics and graphics. Pretty good for a 20-hours-only Compo. I had a bug that in a certain point in the game the sound just stopped working tho.

Good Job.

Luvius by Anudin 2017-07-31T22:59:17Z

I tried to run on my PC and it crashed. As a fellow godot user, could you try to upload a 32bit and a 64bit windows executable?

The same thing happened on our game in the last Ludum Dare. We solved it by doing this. :)

MotherBoard by nikrt 2017-08-01T00:05:47Z

Entered tron in a sci-fi cellphone and got the opportunity to kill Facebook. Take that Mark! 11/10 lol

Awesome game. Took me a while to get out the first screen (but was my fault -.-). The auto-rotating camera was a little bit nauseating for me.

Voodoo Lockdown by Antti Haavikko 2017-08-05T23:19:26Z

Really cool and creative game. Excellent concept. Good job.

Range anxiety by StubbyRogue46 2017-08-05T18:05:06Z

Nice game but I thing it would benefit from having the camera a little more distant (i felt dizzy with the camera so close to him.

Botken: Assault and Battery by Toone 2017-08-01T20:53:34Z

Kudos for trying to make a fighting game during a Ludum Dare. The art design on your game was awesome, and combined with a fluid gameplay. :) I only wish there would be a downloadable version to keep it to play offline.

Back Home by Angry Squirrels 2017-08-08T03:43:12Z

Cool chill game. Loved the atmosphere on this one. Really good low-poly-ish design too. A little too hard to play on the keyboard tho.

Manual Mech by Mikeliosus 2017-08-05T18:35:44Z

Complicated gameplay, as it should be for what you proposed to do. Nice atmosphere of the game and cudos for the tutorial. Well made.

Delivery Drain by Thorneto 2017-08-02T23:02:47Z

Interesting concept, but a got completely lost in the controls. Couldn't make a single delivery T.T

The Quest for the Mighty Battery Charger by Solah 2017-08-02T23:20:21Z

Awesome gameboy-color like game. Completely into this kind of game. I thought the controls were a little floaty while walking but the sonic-spin roll was amazing :). It just lack any sort of ingame tutorial tho...

D34TH by Falk Bruskeland 2017-08-02T05:40:35Z

Good game, but hard as balls! I enjoyed the style of it!

A better Terminator sequel than any of the new ones :3 .

Congrats.

Rat blasteroid by Massimog 2017-08-01T20:10:08Z

I was stuck in the first room until I saw the walkthrough gif T.T . Nice game with nice pixel art. Could use a better tutorial too.

PowerGem Arena by Wizard.Exe 2017-08-08T03:21:54Z

Awesome arcade arena shooter. This game would work great as a twin-stick-shooter too. The only thing that I would add would be to make the player faster.

The Light City of Karola by davidcollado 2017-08-05T18:25:30Z

Really good looking game, with good gameplay and music... but just kept crashing on my pc every 2 or 3 minutes T.T .

Run to Dragsil by Nekonemo 2017-08-02T04:02:43Z

Interesting game with a cute art design. The dimensional switching mechanic was interesting, but having the actions of one character impact the world of the other more would make it even better.

POW by ProdigalSon 2017-08-05T23:35:18Z

Amazing puzzle game. Really well made. Congrats. :)

daemon by bombjack 2017-08-02T05:34:45Z

Cool game with amazing pixel art. The setting was pretty well made and the gameplay was solid, but the game was way too hard for me T.T.

I had a bug happening that vertical stripes appeared on the screen some times during a jump. I don't know if it is the game or my ancient PC tho.

Dynasty Through The Decades by Jamie McClenaghan 2017-07-31T23:09:15Z

Enjoyed the variety of options, but something to highlight which option you were going to choose would be a nice touch too.

With a little more polish it could become the next Europa Universalis Lite.

Good Job :)

Goober Fighter by earthexe 2017-08-02T23:13:06Z

Cute beat'em up. The controls are great, but just need some improvements in level design. Could really use a nice soundtrack tho (It played here on mute, I don't know if you guys did not put it or it bugged here).

Nice to see a fellow gamemaker used in the see of unity that is this LD. :)

Flastronaut by Bill Zeng 2017-08-02T03:51:54Z

Cute little space exorcist/moon farming game. :) Loved the art and how you made the tutorial. Keep up the good work.

(btw, the downloadable version for windows is missing the data file, I could only play it on the browser)

< Mr. Plug > by Drachmor 2017-08-01T00:26:44Z

Nice tight hard platformer, but somehow It didn't had sound. Cool art too.

Echo by swav_gav 2017-08-07T00:59:51Z

A pretty shooter/platformer. Really enjoyed the main character. Has potential. Good Job.

Game Rover by bruins 2017-07-31T22:43:35Z

Cool game with good graphics (nice work with the particles). I enjoyed the filter you used :) .

The only bug that I noticed was that some times I didn't die when fell into the lava (specially on the first one) and since i couldn't jump or get out, I had to restart the entire game to try again.

Congrats for the game :)

LED Adventure -- Running out of Power by ledez 2017-08-02T04:14:47Z

Interesting platformer mixing the meatboy with mario. But, somehow the parallax seems a little off to me, some layers move faster than expected and the one in the front usually obstructs the view :/

A fun game with good use of the theme. And impressive since it was a Compo too. :)

Defender of the Energy! by BesSlaaneshi 2017-07-31T23:43:13Z

Got 1:49 and failed to defend my ground. Sadness is instilled in me since I couldn't cope with it T.T.

Amazing horde-mode defense mode. Awesome setting, art, animation and music. It was only lacking a couple of sound effects.

Good job!

Shadow Crawl by Connor Hagan 2017-08-01T00:35:33Z

Cool setting and art. Almost too creepy for me.

Good job!

Deep Space Nine Volts by Boxfort 2017-07-31T23:19:16Z

Nice spin on a GTA + FTL + Resource Manager. The gameplay was outstandingly fun and fast to learn, but the tutorial kinda halts your progress a little in the beginning.

Nice game overall. Well done. :)

Coffee is Power by Tyler Miller 2017-08-02T22:49:45Z

Cute little meta gamejam game, could become the next gamedev sim (a more focused one). Nice art, it reminded me of Ragnarok Online :).

It is just a little clunky to know what to do in the beginning (she feels a little floaty to control).

Enceladus Explorer by Faulkin 2017-08-05T18:16:53Z

Nice ocean exploring simulator. Really enjoyable and atmospheric (the sound of the ocean IS your soundtrack, basic but fantastic :) ). Loved the little touches, but I thing some particles or effect coming from the turbines would give a better movement feedback. And some sort of "deep meter" would help to know how deep we are.

Good Job.

DRAIN by LERPish 2017-08-05T23:42:04Z

Cool action-wave-based-cyber-cat-ninja-brawler. The only thing that were missing was the ability to strafe and to attack while moving. Otherwise outstanding game.

The Will to Live (a game about willpower) by twainwright 2017-08-01T20:44:51Z

Interesting spin on the island survival game. A little music/soundtrack to give it a better tone would be nice, but any game that allows me to have a smiling coconut deserve some praise :).

Return to Earth by nixim 2017-08-08T05:48:34Z

The ship movement felt a little bit too tanky (It would be nice to have a little more inertia since you are in space. The lack of sound really hitted your game, adding an ambient music and some sound fx would definitely improve it.

LD44 — Your life is currency

Pillow Tears by Jungle 2019-05-02T00:49:47Z

An interesting game using a serious theme and mood. It could have ended up being an amazing experience on this LD. Better luck next time :)

Heartaker by lukbebalduke 2019-05-02T01:37:41Z

Amazing game. Spent quite some time playing and made me smile every time the "Hoo" effect appeared after a wave. Loved the premise (what a bitch tho lol). Good job and hope to see it become a released game in the future.

Borrowed time by GoblinPortal 2019-05-02T01:23:02Z

Nice twist on the theme. Loved the art how you made the animations without using sprites. Good game and good job. :)

BioTech Inc. by Paulo Brunassi 2019-05-02T01:19:26Z

Interesting concept and loved the RE vibe it gave about how you could just avoid the enemies. It could benefit from having more kinds of enemies or even environmental traps and such. Good job. :)

bloodsucker. by whycardboard 2019-05-02T01:43:05Z

Interesting game and use of the theme. Loved the vibe it gave. Just needed some adjustment on the audio, the effects are a bit too loud some times. Good job and good game. :)

Money Golems Warriors by Buddaccio 2019-05-02T01:46:31Z

Nice concept and art, but the lack of keyboard support made it hard to try it here. Good job tho.

Jukebox Panic! by Kaish 2019-05-02T02:54:43Z

Loved the game overall. Very fun to play with. :)

Fools Fortune by Gear Steak 2019-05-02T00:58:39Z

The idea implementation and use of the theme were good. Being without audio played against the mood of it. An earie song would made it way better. Good job tho. It would be a good project to see a post-ld version of. :)

. by goosyberry 2019-05-02T01:08:51Z

Cute graphics and good music, but I didn't felt that I had any options.

Excellent for a first time tho, keep going.
