LD45 — Start with nothing

Ping Pong by Iak 2019-10-11T19:15:13Z

I mean I dont really know what to say man. This is just your standard pong experience man. I thought it would be something different but this just ended up playing like any other game of pong I've ever played....(P.S I loved it).

Deep Station Fine by ancient-pixel 2019-10-11T22:25:14Z

I cant really say I understood what my goal in the game was but I liked the writing of the game. Also I cant tell if all the L's being replaced by N's was a bug or not. Also I think the game looked great.

Loomed by ThatRumme 2019-10-13T10:52:48Z

I absolutely loved this game. The control were felt tight, the platforming was challenging and the game looked excellent. Really just a top notch entry all around. One thing I will say is that maybe the game didnt need to be as long as it did. I think cutting a few of the levels from the game would have helped with pacing. Regardless excellent entry.

VELOCE by torfi 2019-10-09T23:25:57Z

I loved everything about this game except maybe the inconsistent sensitivity of the mouse which killed me a lot. Regardless so far one of the most polished and fun games I've played this jam.

Fireflies Will Find My Bones by 0x01F0 2019-10-10T19:53:21Z

Fantastic game honestly. I dont think I really have any problem with aside from maybe feeling a little annoyed about not being able to find those tree stumps after continually searching but its a very minor gripe. Excellent stuff.

Skeleton Quest by mahalis 2019-10-10T05:47:06Z

heyyyy our games are pretty similar, nice. Also I think this was a really short and sweet fun little game.

Nothing to Say by celia14 2019-10-13T11:03:07Z

Excellent game I just wish there was a more clear indication of the game being over.

I Am A Square by ivexnuke 2019-10-09T02:41:43Z

Great concept, shame to see the game end before it really picks up any momentum. Theres a lot more you can do with this game.

Spooky Japes by cdunham 2019-10-09T23:00:06Z

I like the concept of the game however I felt there was very little challenge to the game. Also there was never any clear indication of who I can scare and who I couldnt. For example I would be able to scare one vampire while another would say I'm not scary. Still I like your interpretation of the theme and the background music as well.

Enter the Abyss by GuitarBro 2019-10-09T02:23:49Z

I really liked the look and colors of this game especially how the fire contrasted with the rest of the world. One problem I would point out is the shield and push spells are basically never useful. I dont think I once felt compelled to use them before or after getting the fire spell. Otherwise still a great game.

Ship It by dxk2294 2019-10-11T08:23:18Z

I thought this was a pretty fun game although it took me quite a few tries to figure out exactly what was going on and what I was supposed to do. And also I feel as if the red sorter may have been placed a little too far away compared to how close blue and green were. Regardless really fun game. And it looked fantastic as well.

Necrofenser Hero by Guilb 2019-10-11T19:04:49Z

Really polished and fun game. Took me a while to figure out I had to kill chickens to start commanding them but after that it was gold. Great stuff.

Consciousness in a jar by Loganou974 2019-10-29T09:38:41Z

Honestly this game is just beautiful. Really nice job.

Unraveling Nothing by Zachary Shah 2019-10-10T20:54:05Z

I thought the idea of the game was pretty clever. But honestly I think the actual mechanic of the game was sort of a bit clunky. I felt like I was struggling with the controls of the game rather than my skillset. Regardless great idea and pretty fun game.

The Ghost Haunter by Gnappuraz 2019-10-13T10:33:57Z

I mean what can I say it seemed like it could be pretty fun but its just too short to be able to judge properly. I will say that this could turn into a pretty fun game. Also I liked the little ghost butt you gave your character. Also you should check out our game its has a pretty similar player character to yours.

The Ghost Haunter by Gnappuraz 2019-10-13T14:52:55Z

@gnappuraz dont worry man we've all been there. And tbh i still liked it a lot

ØJE by Gaming Night 2019-10-11T08:44:03Z

Very well made and really polished game with an excellent concept and visuals. One thing I will say is that I just wish there was more than the standard end game screen for collecting all colors. Still a great game though.

Everydate by BytingGames 2019-10-13T11:44:04Z

I liked it even though I'm not the biggest fan of visual novels. I liked the artstyle quite a bit.

The Carpenter by Valentin4311 2019-10-08T23:10:10Z

I love how "juicy" this game is. I think one thing this game can benefit from is having some indication of how much resources you need to unlock the next phase of your house.

ground zero by whycardboard 2019-10-10T20:13:29Z

I loved the tone and mood of the game a lot. And I loved the idea of the gameplay loop of scavenging items and building your base.....however in execution I felt that the main mechanic of scavenging was just not fun. Had it just been a little quicker or less repetitive I would have liked it a lot more. Regardless I still think the game is excellent in tone and atmosphere.

JUST A GHOST LOOKING FOR ITS BODY by smileyface 2019-10-08T16:40:23Z

@nikos thanks for the tip but I knew about that its just the UI was getting all sorts of fucked when I did that during development and I didnt have a lot of time to fix it but I appreciate your help also can you let me know how the UI looks on your end, it seemed fine in my build

JUST A GHOST LOOKING FOR ITS BODY by smileyface 2019-10-08T16:49:00Z

@nikos oh yeah no thats supposed to look like that lol I was going for a minimalistic look

JUST A GHOST LOOKING FOR ITS BODY by smileyface 2019-10-11T18:13:57Z

@selkkie im so sorry about that. Unfortunately we had no way of testing our mac build so we had no idea that was an issue. We should have clarified that the mac build was untested. Im so sorry and I think you should rate the experience you had with the game regardless if it worked or not. So rate as low as you want it would be fair.

The Firebrand by selkkie 2019-10-11T18:55:49Z

I loved this game so much. I loved the slow process of world building, the writing, the lighting...all of it. But I experienced a weird bug where when I confronted the mom about the truth the dialogue would keep restarting and the game wouldnt end. Thats really the only thing keeping this game from the top 5 of my LD45 games list.

The Firebrand by selkkie 2019-10-11T19:06:44Z

@selkkie no it really was a bug....the conversation itself triggered about how she needs to give her son up and she ends up saying fuck off and walks out but the conversation would never end it would keep looping and wouldnt let the end game screen pop up

The Firebrand by selkkie 2019-10-11T19:15:41Z

@selkkie WebGL

The Whole Lot by onnofal 2019-10-10T19:57:47Z

I honestly would have thought this was one of the best jam games so far had it not been so short. Great Idea and great aesthetic. Another things is that I felt some awkwardness to the controls in how the objects wouldn't quite snap to the grid right. But regardless mechanically this game is absolutely outstanding....content wise it leaves me a bit wanting. Also you should check our game, it has a similar aesthetic to yours........And its also a bit short.

PIPO THE GHOST by woody_builder 2019-10-08T10:04:13Z

I think this is a very good and solid game but I believe the last level of the game is broken as I keep clipping through the end blocks and cant complete the game. Otherwise I think this is a great interpretation of the theme. You should check out our game it happens to be very similar to yours.

Oracle Pine by Swanijam 2019-10-08T11:59:55Z

So far this is the best game I've played in the jam

バクラウBloodless by Danilo Freire 2019-10-09T13:44:17Z

Very good game. I really love games that really build themselves on a single mechanic like yours. However I had issues with how enemies and the player would get hidden behind certain environments. Regardless very good game.

Spooky Mansion by Jeremia 2019-10-08T11:50:40Z

I actually thought this game was very fun even though I couldn't even get past the first round since I could never get the key to the door. I think despite some minor balancing issues this game is very challenging in the right way. You should check out our game as well, its actually surprisingly similar to yours.

Last Goodbyes by chawls_v 2019-10-10T09:12:36Z

I really enjoyed this game a lot. Its very beautiful. One minor nitpick is the option that says let her have it, i assumed that meant let her have the baby not scream at her lol. Still its a very good game. Im not sure how it relates to the theme though.

Dead Again by Joe Bustamante 2019-10-10T09:00:58Z

Outstanding I loved it. I loved the power fantasy of the game of how you become so powerful by using your bare fists. One thing I will say maybe enemy variety on different runs would have been nice.

Biohazard-XX by hiro.e 2019-10-09T23:05:38Z

I like the idea of the game however I felt very confused as to what to do in your game and since I dont speak portugese I couldnt understand some messages.

2D PLATFORMER EXE by GabrielGameDev 2019-10-10T15:52:34Z

I've seen the idea of building a game from scratch across many games in the jam but I think I like your version the best. One minor thing I should say is that whenever the character is jumping and its head hits a ceiling it doesnt bonk his head and goes down it keeps accelerating and sort of sticks to the ceiling. Regardless excellent game.

Cavern Train Heist by microgravitydan 2019-10-09T23:19:52Z

I like the atmosphere the game establishes but one thing I will say is that I dont particularly like your implementation of the third person camera. To me it feels like you added a first person camera and attached the player to the front of it. What a third person camera should be is that it should follow the player and rotate around the player not on its own axis. However I still like how your game looks.

In the beginning by nsadie 2019-10-09T11:11:35Z

I really like your take on the Hitman Go formula of games but maybe one or two more levels could have benefited the game.

Nothing On Frontlines by Pavel Ivanov 2019-10-09T23:33:13Z

I think the game is really fun and certainly has a lot of strategy to it but I think the audio of this game is very bad. Not the sound effects themselves but simply how many gunshots there are at the same time. Maybe that can be toned down a bit. Still I thought the game was very fun.

Bobbo the Telekinetic Gobbo by AmbaDev 2019-10-09T02:31:02Z

I really like the main mechanic of this game however I wish there was a more clear indication for when the orc was being hit by the object. Also quick question, is Bobbo the Gobbo related to Boblin the Goblin by any chance?

Become Human Again by Cybikitty 2019-10-08T20:59:10Z

I think this game establishes a very good mood and atmosphere but I found the platforming to be very frustrating. I think this game would benefit from the player object having a smaller collider than it does. But despite this I think the game is very good. You should check out our game as well, its theme is somewhat similar to yours coincidentally.

DREAMS by Ferdi 2019-10-11T19:22:51Z

I'm honestly not sure what to think about this game other than I think I loved it. Also audio would have been a nice addition to the game I think.

LEGION by crunchykingcobra 2019-10-08T21:22:58Z

This very smart and feels very good to play. Excellent job.

What's Behind The Mirror by el_fideo_rubio 2019-10-09T01:52:15Z

I think a lot of us here can deeply relate to what your game is trying to say. Just one thing to note is that the camera seemed to be rotating around some object rather than rotating it self after you shoot the mirror. Otherwise this was s superb effort.

LEGS by moechen 2019-10-13T10:28:02Z

I thought the game had an excellent mood and soundtrack and it looked really nice. However I had some issues with some obstacles not being very obvious as dangerous to the player so I didnt realize I shouldnt touch them at first. Also I thought the ',' button was a weird choice for the change leg key. I've just never seen that before.

Escape the Minotaur by mrabnox 2019-10-08T21:17:13Z

I think the atmosphere is very well established thanks to the lighting and sound design but its really the actual gameplay which brings the game down a bit. I think with a better random level generation system and more responsive controls this game could have been just right. Despite all of that I absolutely love the idea of the game and I think it goes perfectly with the theme.
