LD39 — Running out of Power

Pipe Trek by quill18 2017-07-31T19:10:28Z

*Very* nice! Love how the pipe game has been merged with another layer of gameplay.

Precious Cargo by CMLSC 2017-07-31T15:01:53Z

Love the graphics and the overall feel. It's difficult :D

Crazy Squirrels by IgorsGames 2017-07-31T20:16:08Z

Squirrels for life!

Lightrunner by dalbinblue 2017-07-31T21:25:54Z

A really, *really* great game :D PROPS:D

Player in the Dark by loyance 2017-07-31T19:43:03Z

Like the mood, but the stones, oh the stones...

Jumping Jehosaphat by jharler 2017-07-31T11:57:24Z

Jumping Jehosaphat by jharler 2017-07-31T16:10:30Z

Fixed now. Looks great! The smiley face as it flies through the air is awesome :D

Powerless by g-o 2017-07-31T21:09:24Z

Liked the music and the downgrades and then other mutations of gameplay. kept things interesting :)

Shekateka by dietzribi 2017-07-31T20:32:42Z

Loving the plug idea :D Solid mechanics, great graphics.

Archetype - Running Out of Power by cakemonitor 2017-07-31T18:44:04Z

Love the coop, but it's a bit difficult to control on the gamepad.

Decaying Card Game by filippy 2017-07-31T19:37:18Z

Nice one. Like how the cards are getting weaker later instead of more zombies only.

Power Trip by notime4games 2017-07-31T21:13:25Z

Loved the graphics and controls were smooth. a bit dull after 8km :P

Fluff Factory by Simple Ghost 2017-07-31T21:45:39Z

LOVE the graphics and the theme, a bit too slow for my tastes though.

Infinitree by Quaternius 2017-07-31T18:09:07Z

Very nice! Looks polished and sound is especially good.

Zombies 'n Kebabs by alaah 2017-07-31T18:30:07Z

libgcc s seh.dll is missing win7 64b

Zombies 'n Kebabs by alaah 2017-07-31T18:30:07Z

duplicate post

FlingShot - The Super-Sidekick by BenJoe72 2017-07-31T14:42:41Z

Very nice game!

Love the spin on the Power thing. Would be nice if controls were more predictable but it's very good nonetheless!

Don't be (the) patient by Sogomn 2017-07-31T19:05:32Z

Simple mechanics but very well done :)

Programmer Energy by sn0uk 2017-07-31T16:17:28Z

Looks ok, fun theme, not a fan of those iknds of games but well executed.

Boaty McBoatface by mango-malarkey 2017-07-31T21:20:01Z

Like the overall gameplay. Has lots of weird UI decisions but like the way it works.

Plane'R by R3L0ad1 2017-07-31T19:31:26Z

Pretty nice. Like how the plane handles.

Runaway Convoy by Hilvon 2017-07-31T19:59:37Z

Looks ok, a bit standard problem and no replay value though :P

LD39 - Runner Clone by LogFlames 2017-07-31T13:48:29Z

Paddle control is fun. But the game is a bit too slow - if it was faster it would be much better :)

Running out of Coffee by Triastase 2017-08-01T10:59:07Z

Works nicely! Seems like coffee runs out terribly quickly though.

Recharged by EX3D0 2017-07-31T18:14:18Z

Sounds and music were good, but the gameplay was a bit too simplistic for my tastes.

Last Bot Standing: Game of the Year Edition by Shaolin Dave 2017-08-01T11:01:57Z

Very interesting take on the theme, very nice graphics and smooth gameplay. Liking it:)

Zombies and RVs by pixelgriffin 2017-07-31T16:26:33Z

Very nice! Great visuals and music!

Quoala by Goloso Games 2017-07-31T20:04:48Z

Very slow, I would appreciate a way to speed things up. It was well done though.

Power or die by Aterlamia 2017-07-31T20:38:53Z

won in like a minute - must be some bug or something. later couldn't win at all - just kept running out of power. Fun but unbalanced.

Harvest And Extract by Kthulhu1947 2017-08-01T17:44:57Z

Not extremely challenging but tranquil :P Liked it.

The Power Factory by Swifttech 2017-07-31T19:01:35Z

Not enough information about what is what. Overall decent though.

Entry Deleted by Cedro_Gomez 2017-07-31T14:03:40Z

Not working.

Jeff Long Run by Matoux42 2017-07-31T11:59:04Z

Virus detected by avast.

Turrets Turrets by ryzy27 2017-07-31T16:15:52Z

Cool idea introducing a negative to all upgrades.

Pathfinder by Invixel 2017-07-31T16:28:19Z

Can't run it - no data folder?

Blow Out by Cristi Mihai 2017-07-31T20:25:04Z

Emptiness and energy drinks. Repetitive sounds and movement. only thing you see is girls and tv. Oh man this is depressing xD

Empire Building by Mac Dragoness 2017-08-01T10:26:35Z

Very nice! A bit short and simple to win but nice :D

Delivery Drain by Thorneto 2017-07-31T19:24:54Z

Cool idea, my son liked it.

First Ludum Dare Submit (Hackerman) by Tiberiusuciu 2017-07-31T18:52:41Z

Interesting but punishing as each death drops you off to the start

Burrow by xonic 2017-07-31T16:22:09Z

Liked it. Especially the music :) Cotrols were a bit clunky though.

Universal Powers by Snowy 2017-07-31T19:19:39Z

Funny and cool :D

Not Like This... by quixatocs 2017-07-31T13:39:01Z

Like the game, a bit unclear on the controls ( I assumed I just walked up to a battery and held w for a while and it wouldpick one up ) The "I'm floating up" thing is a bit annoying - would prefer a jump boost on a particular surface.

Still; great :D

Power of the glorious nation by Maxi100ful 2017-07-31T12:03:40Z

avast detects danger.

Power Hero by autovelop 2017-07-31T21:28:21Z

Reminds me of old atari games :P

White bubble by Thuvareyn 2017-07-31T19:51:13Z

Very nice. Graphics are very well done. Loved the management part even if it was a bit limited.

Battery Pack by shashwat 2017-07-31T20:34:32Z

Decent, although simple. Like it.

Run Away : being in power is stressful by megahold 2017-07-31T14:00:03Z

Nice music!

Binary Computing by Draloric 2017-07-31T14:02:29Z

Can't run it. Win7 64b. No logs. Not starting.

Gemheart Hunter by Taffaz 2017-07-31T20:09:27Z

Quite nice, but annoying if you get drained.

The P.U.R.G.E. Protocol by hhsaez 2017-07-31T18:58:36Z

Pretty nice, but a bit slow and there isn't much info about that is happening ;p Overall cool though.

Proto472 by uzyfeo 2017-07-31T16:40:42Z

A bit weird how it moves in linear motion instead of discrete positions ( as in you manually drift towards positions instead of snapping to them) But overall good.

Ludum Dare 39 - Battery Man by TedKerr 2017-07-31T16:46:52Z

Pretty cool :) Difficult though.

Powerless Miner by MajamiLTU 2017-08-02T14:11:02Z

Really nice one.

Liked that you could still play after power runs out.

Lifeforce Deathrun by GanbareGamesKyle 2017-07-31T20:18:50Z

Very cool. Great graphics.

Goodnight, Wizardog by barsoosayque 2017-07-31T16:35:37Z

Very nice graphics. gameplay hurts my finger though xD

Power Struggle by gmfk07 2017-07-31T18:29:32Z

Not working with XBox one controller on win7 64b EDIT: Fixed it, pretty fun. Has lots of issues starting up.

Running Power by Hephyrius 2017-07-31T19:28:53Z

Interesting idea, each symbol is different and interesting:)

Smash ball by Sivael 2017-07-31T13:09:23Z

Yup, I'm planning on optimizing endgame with slower ball size and higher ball mass increases so that you can crush stuff with your weight later.

Thanks for the feedback!

Smash ball by Sivael 2017-07-31T19:46:57Z

I do have a lot of new ideas there but as I've finished the compo I'd like to hold off with changes until the results come in.

Smash ball by Sivael 2017-07-31T20:21:36Z

I think that when there's a lot of non-sleeping entities it starts lagging. but if you gather the energy it should not lag as much anymore.

Smash ball by Sivael 2017-07-31T20:40:20Z

I discovered that at one point if you scroll too much it will do that. will be issuing a fix.

Smash ball by Sivael 2017-07-31T21:46:44Z

It indeed needs some polish and endgame scaling :)

Smash ball by Sivael 2017-07-31T22:06:02Z

Didnt think of it xD

Smash ball by Sivael 2017-08-01T09:42:01Z

@g-o made a few bugfixes, including performance optimization. THanks for the testing and thanks to all for the valuable feedback !

Smash ball by Sivael 2017-08-02T13:49:21Z

@aj-weeks Will change the uplload names, that will be better. thanks for the suggestion.

Smash ball by Sivael 2017-08-05T07:36:47Z

@aterlamia - it's not the rendering that's slow, it's the physics. I tried smaller spaces to roll in and lower amount of blocks but it wasnt as fun then. I'll be trying to package this and make it into a real game (with coop and possibly enemies and bosses you need to smash into) that's aimed at sitting on the couch with a few buddies and smashing stuff on screen :D I think it could use a few particle effects, more lighting and better physics optimization.

@gonuts - My idea was to roll around and smash things while using up and gathering energy. I can't do 3D modelling at speeds required for compo so I simply generated a few hundred textures and selected a few to put onto the objects. While admittedly not perfect, it was the idea I had. You might not have enjoyed it, but I playtested it heavily to make the smashing fun and satisfying; many of the user reviews appreciated that.

@bobbytales - Happy You enjoyed that :D

Character Building by Badly Drawn Rod 2017-07-31T20:12:54Z

The answers and stories seem to lead to the same outcomes every time i play. A bit strange and nihilist but yeah xD

Powerless: Trump Teaches Typing by RootPew 2017-07-31T13:49:47Z

Was funny :P

Electric lovers by Virtual Turtle Studio 2017-07-31T13:42:52Z

Hah, funny :D

Rocket Barrel by Johnnyc1423 2017-08-01T10:56:11Z

Pretty decent. It did feel a bit slow though.

Your Utterly Unbeatable Natalya by leonarnott 2017-07-31T13:57:01Z

Interesting but confusing. Would use some more structure - as it was I didn't understand what was going on :P

Light The Way by BobbyTables 2017-07-31T21:24:17Z

A bit choppy gameplay, some more polishing would be good. Great work though with getting it together:)
