LD42 — Running out of space

Reverse by Goutye 2018-08-13T13:16:22Z

I like the puzzlexplatformer combination! NEAT! :D

Typewriter by boddiul 2018-08-14T07:24:11Z

Very nice conncept, and a good use of theme. Definitely more mechanics than I managed to implement!

GRANDMA KNIGHT by manusaiz 2018-08-13T14:19:06Z

hmm. the link seems broken :(

EVOLUTION by Noa Calice 2018-08-14T08:22:30Z

Very arty and Interesting game :) Fits the theme also! BTW I feel a very strong Edmund McMillen influence) Cheers!

Pats Pack by Landon 2018-08-15T14:31:51Z

awesome game :) got addicted a bit :D

BulletMan by Grewoss 2018-08-16T14:09:25Z

Came here to vote, found an interesting idea :D I wonder how far can you push this idea

Gunning Out Of Space by ytaha 2018-08-13T15:40:09Z

hey worthy opponent, can you tell me how didi you make the gameplay gifs? what did you use?

Gunning Out Of Space by ytaha 2018-08-14T06:54:38Z

@yatha WOW! finally. I've been looking for a good GIFrecorder(that can go above 24 fps) for a long time. Thank you!

Gunning Out Of Space by ytaha 2018-08-14T06:59:58Z

I've also played the game. It is pretty addictive, and the same genre as mine. But you managed to implement more mechanics than I have. Whachagaddado if im a lazy ass? Loved the 2 shielded guy - felt very bossy! Also a very nice approach to the theme. Cheers!

The Flopp by Sanguis 2018-09-04T09:33:16Z

made it to the end! loved the game! there is space to improve the controls and the feel in general. but the "matrix glitches" are awesome. work on it further!! +5

Space Billiards by mshopf 2018-08-13T14:56:30Z

Ha! :D I had a blast.. literally :D

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-08-12T22:54:39Z

Why cant I see the link to the source code? Is there a chance that this will disqualify me from comp? hmm..

Edit: ok, I needed to add a description to the link.

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-08-12T23:42:06Z

yeah, the rules are pretty vague on this.. I will see.. I think I will add another link so people would know how was it before changes and after.

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-08-13T00:04:24Z

thanks :) yes sure, the sound.. I thought I'd put more effort into graphics. one has to choose, mr Freeman..

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-08-13T14:07:40Z

@outline cudos for knowing your pizzas, sir )

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-08-13T14:08:38Z

@guilhermoni yess, them eyecandy, gib me moar xD

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-08-13T14:09:42Z

@jakub-kazimierski would be nice to if it was a new one or one of them known ones

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-08-13T14:10:48Z

@talios nah! with time, you will get to master this game to the point that no tomato gets even close))

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-08-13T14:13:43Z

@noam I am definitely going to add sound and more features and mechanics. I like the concept)

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-08-13T14:25:49Z

@jakub-kazimierski oh! I think I know what you're talking about. When the bullets start to die, they don't check for collisions, and yes, it feels kind of buggy.

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-08-14T07:02:22Z

@mshopf Very detailed feedback. I just opted out of the sound category.hope its not too late. Thanks!

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-08-14T07:04:10Z

@donitz @bigbosserndog @jasper-hansen @omnipotentindie The plan was/is to implement different zombies with different speed, bite size and other mechanics. thus making the game progressively harder.

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-08-14T12:18:11Z

@johnyf I am on it right now!!

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-08-17T18:49:08Z

@dimlight @antoined73 @jorbits @namnam @legavroche @pnghasemi @ganonwarrior Thats what I managed to make in 48 hours, and I wasnt sure if I can add features. I'm moving the project to Unity an planning to make a full game out of it with all the features you have suggested and MORE :) Thank you!

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-08-17T18:50:37Z

@nam-nguyen Not sure what you mean by "destructible terrain" but yeah - its a pixel matrix.. or a bitmap ;) Thank you!

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-08-24T13:10:44Z

@jin9310 follow me on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/sloydgd)

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-08-25T11:32:51Z

@louis-denizet you aren't missing anything ;) its just the 48 hour limit

@sublustris I didn't use flash for a very long time. So after making this project for LD in flash, I found out that browsers don't support it already (like chrome), and that soon even Adobe will not support it. So I quickly "ported" it to OpenFL (You should really check it out if you are an AS3 coder. It is open source, 99% like AS3, and you can build for most platforms iOS, Android, PC, Linux, HTML5..)..

@djeycreations @jakier @silkworm-sweatshop I'm working on everything that is suggested, and more :) (In my free time). But I will update more after the voting is over.

Thanks everyone!

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-08-30T08:27:45Z

@dk5000p weird, you should die when the enemies bite you. maybe you ran into them when they were busy chewing on pizza, or they tried to bite you and you dodged while they were bityng.

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-09-03T06:02:04Z

@antonsem @bradleypollard work in progress, my friends ;)

@connorthompson yup, my first ludum, also my first jam ever. I participated in some programming competitions while in school, dont know if it counts as a jam :)

@atom0520 the pizza is a big sprite, to which I blend draw the bite sprites. the bites are(can be) 1 channel bitmaps that only affect the pizzas alpha. there were no triangulations whatsoever to create a navmesh, in case you were wondering :D. as for the suggestions - work in progress, my friend :)

thanks yall!!!

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-09-04T11:35:46Z

@barrier - is it the clicking finger? wait until I add more weapons :D

@jonathan-lorenz @lu7cie aaah yes, the sound, most requested thing :) I know.. I'm sad about that too.. It would sell the game like a motherfucker! thats what you get when you are limited to 48 hours, but you waste time on perfecting the animations ;)

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-09-04T12:45:21Z

@lu7cie by "selling" the game I ment "take the votes".. and as this is my first jam, I'm kind of confused about how much can you change the game while the voting is on.. I'll be making the good stuff after the voting is over ;)

Pizza Defender by Sloyd 2018-09-04T13:56:13Z

@jonathan-lorenz Haha, thanks! But I'm going to give the sound/music a try myself first. And if I fail, I'm going to ask you kindly to make a tune for me :)

Pre Alpha Build by PlusMinus 2018-08-14T07:58:04Z

ss.png

im unbeatable!! also, those doors very often don't fully open. so I can't get to the destroy button. Overall - awesome game!

Pre Alpha Build by PlusMinus 2018-08-14T08:11:23Z

ss2.png

As I went commenting here and other places, I let the game run in the background. Here's the result. RAM used over 2Ggigs

The Curse by jiukka 2018-09-04T12:57:46Z

Im trying to play the game but the character wont move. Came back here for the controls and found the tutorial written with purple/magenta on a brown background - its a big no no! Im gonna try refreshing the game page ;) The sound is good though ;) already a +5

SunnyLand by soumitra.shewale 2018-08-16T14:03:32Z

Neat looking game. Though the art seems familiar.

Where is my place ? by diwo 2018-08-13T14:46:56Z

Im confused about the rating :) if there's no download link..

Dungeon, Demon and 2 Walls by Yulia 2018-08-13T14:21:35Z

I liked the sounds a lot :D monsters have very powerful grandmas.. touche..

The City Of Forgotten Toys by dk5000p 2018-08-30T10:00:00Z

param param param param, porom pom pom.. ok.. thanks.. now i have a song stuck in my head :D

Zlinx by frontlinesaint 2018-08-14T08:24:39Z

Very nice entry for a first timer :)

LD42: Past the Edge of Space by Ksyne 2018-09-02T15:22:34Z

Hey, whats up with you ratings? Idk if you know, but you become more visible as you rate others, therefore youll get more ratings! You can also make an attractive blog post ;) You should really publish the game to itch.io or on any other host so it could be played without the need to download.

LD42: Past the Edge of Space by Ksyne 2018-09-02T16:32:57Z

you can do it now ;) and to add a HTML5 game to itch, you must archive it as a zip archive and have a index.html in it.

Zerg Coming! by hdmmy 2018-08-16T14:11:08Z

nice!! good work on the pathfinding.

Forklift Simulator by CrispyPin 2018-08-13T13:46:49Z

Awesome concept! I loved the game :) it is also addictive. Smooth out the controls and its good for production :D

Mass Coalesce by Jumpander 2018-08-15T13:56:28Z

Our heroes are alike :D

Claustrophobia by DangoGameDev 2018-08-13T13:40:25Z

lol your idea is very similar to one of a few I had in mind. Good thing I picked another one :)

WearOut by Abhis1Kadian 2018-08-29T18:26:04Z

got a 72 score :) couldnt get higher. nice game for a first one :) got comedy, music and everything! given its a jam I would expect a little bit better graphics. but hey - the beauty is in the eye of the beholder) have some high points!!

NIGHTMARE by mcarrera 2018-08-15T08:42:10Z

Got the theme and finished the product in time, which is nice.

ECO WARRIORS by FreeLivesGames 2018-09-04T13:28:29Z

Are you the guys behind Broforce? if so then sweeet :D Finished that game not long ago. So I guess It would be an honour if you'd chek out my game). Dont judge too hard though, its a compo) As for this one - solid entry!

California Jane by fivenamefivesocks 2018-08-29T13:17:03Z
