LD42 — Running out of space

Running out of space by Predominant 2018-08-13T12:51:11Z

Really fun to play! They only "criticism" I can give is that the game is kinda slow and it would be more hectic and fun if the order came in faster

Inventory Rush by Notaveerus 2018-08-13T08:38:54Z

A really interesting idea. Was hard to keep track of 2 things at once and was hard to know where the player can go and can't. Got a score of +/-1100 ;) (only "criticism" I have is that you should have also done movement by arrow keys and not only by wasd)

Grappling hook was buggy as hell to say the least. The platforming was not fun at all, You have to land deadcenter at the platforms in order to not fall of them. The sound effects were a nice touch

Entera: The Decay by Roberto Romao 2018-08-15T08:45:55Z

WAY to much text to read. If your game requires that much text to explain it, something is not right. Game was fairly easy once I read the text. Music was nice

Get Off My Lawn by silkworm_sweatshop 2018-08-18T16:16:13Z

Really fun game, good job!

There is Never Enough Space!!! by Jamie Rollo 2018-08-13T10:09:06Z

Game looks really great and was fun to play but the timers were brutal. Would have also like that if you fail you can retry the same level again instead of starting from the beginning

Space Cargo by Apples_mmmmmmmm 2018-08-15T09:47:08Z

Pretty simple game. Music was really good!

Baggage Claim by mgoadric 2018-08-13T16:47:55Z

Very interesting idea, looks good and sounds are good. Might need some balance tweaking (I have no idea for what I get time and for what I don't get time)

EVOLUTION by Noa Calice 2018-08-15T08:26:43Z

Very intresting take on the theme and a very unique artstyle (I like it a lot). At the end of the game you go like "what have I done?!"

CryptoCult by Dyn 2018-08-15T08:33:38Z

Was not able to play, game is stuck at loading

CryptoCult by Dyn 2018-08-15T15:09:59Z

The idea might have worked in theory but the fact that you need special software just to play is bad. Not sure how this would relate to the theme anyway. Playing the game is just waiting until the menu finally loads. The only thing you good have going on here is that it runs on the blockchain

Super Tetron by MagmaFortress 2018-08-15T09:23:30Z

Game looks cool but is really hard to solve. Would have liked to have had some music

SQUASH KILL by Smithy 2018-08-14T07:45:39Z

@manbeardgames @conorod Thank you for letting me know about the error. I know what is causing it but the time is up, so unfortunately I can't fix it

SQUASH KILL by Smithy 2018-08-14T12:48:58Z

@call-me-nutty Thank you for letting me know, the bug is now fixed

SQUASH KILL by Smithy 2018-08-14T13:57:50Z

@siridakis Thank you! As a reward I put up your highscore as screenshot on my itcho

SQUASH KILL by Smithy 2018-08-18T11:50:20Z

@mike-inprinciple You missed a crucial mechanic. You can push boxes and squash zombies that way. (It is my fault I should have included a small tutorial) Most people figured it out

Grid Locked by DrunkardWolf 2018-08-13T08:49:18Z

Using the amount of platforms as health is really innovative and really suits the game. (I recognized this game from twitter so I had to play it)

The Server Room by wisstopher 2018-09-02T15:27:46Z

Fun little game, nice music!

The Adventure Of OXO by Poulet 2018-08-17T17:28:20Z

Game link missing?!

Maze Runner by carlosvVk 2018-08-15T08:49:42Z

Was indeed experimental. I don't like it that I can't turn and drive at the same time.

OVERKILL by earnso 2018-08-13T13:12:21Z

Fun game, great art, good music and a crazy way of implementing the theme. LOVE IT!

Tetris Hero by 2Demigods 2018-09-02T15:35:52Z

Really interesting concept and was fun to play. Was a lot of text to read at the start of the game

Emissary by Handle 2018-08-13T07:44:05Z

Fun but hard game (or I am just not used to a gamepad). The game looks fantastic and you have an incredible soundtrack

Panic attack! At the party by Rammy294 2018-08-28T18:06:36Z

You wanted brutally honest criticism so you will get some. The idea for the game is an interesting take on the theme but personally, I don't like it. The player moves way too slowly, also the number of people stay the same so I don't feel like I am running out of space. The graphics are present and that is all I am going to say about it. The enemies move in a random direction so you can't plan ahead so winning the game is just a game of luck. Some party music would have been nice and a quick way of increasing the mood of the game. The heartbeat was a nice addition but was loud. A timer would have been nice. You could have even hid it as an clock in the scenery.

For your first time joining you did fine, I have played worse

Gnome Miner by SDC 2018-08-13T08:21:14Z

Was kinda hard to play because the camera is zoomed in so much and it is hard to know what and when the ground is going to fall away

Echo by ManBeardGames 2018-08-13T08:17:08Z

Fun game! The tutorial was kinda long but it was needed to explain the game

Pre Alpha Build by PlusMinus 2018-08-17T17:40:04Z

Lots of fun, good job!

Blast by JPatrick 2018-09-02T20:23:18Z

Cool little game, fit the theme very well. You did well for a compo game especially without using an engine

Zero Star by CristiHKJ 2018-08-17T17:45:40Z

The spinning main menu made me motion sick. Cool idea tho

Reductor (LD42 Comp Entry) by ConorOD 2018-08-13T13:20:08Z

Very simple way of implementing the theme, the gameplay was fantastic (I am going to play again). Pixel art is good, so are the sound effects. A lot of different enemies and powerups. Maybe to much screenshake

Don't Get Crushed by Beelzeboss 2018-08-15T09:33:22Z

Very interesting concept to let the room fill up with dead enemies. The jump needs a lot of tweaking it did not feel right. Music was nice

Deep Down by Nyunesu 2018-08-13T12:19:27Z

Really fun game, some parts are harder than others. Great music and looks amazing. Suits the theme really well!

Groundfall by Arcus 2018-08-15T09:25:24Z

Can't play it because I don't have GM2

(Running) Flying out of space by Kaboosh 2018-08-13T08:32:42Z

​The controls were an interesting choice not sure why you did it like that. The art style looks good​. The pixel font is really hard to read

Inventory Story by FredMaaktGames 2018-08-14T11:27:47Z

Awesome idea, was really fun to play

The Killer Blue Tiles by Alisiena 2018-08-13T08:26:46Z

Why an installer and not just an executable?!

Running out of Space: The story of one man by Brain Warm-up 2018-08-17T17:58:53Z

SPOILER

first symbol is 2 second is 32 1 to the power of 32 is 32 1-32 = -31 and the abs of that is 31 Total code is 232311 WHY DON'T YOU UNLOCK?!

A blob with a destination - LD42 by Dries Vuylsteke 2018-08-13T08:57:08Z

A lot of mechanics. Would have liked to have more levels to get more practice with every mechanic before a new one is introduced. Also not sure why I can move with arrow keys while I can jump to everywhere ;) Fun game!

Save the Galaxy by GameJMunk 2018-08-13T12:40:01Z

The pixel art and the music/sounds were pretty good. You only incorporate the theme into your story and not in your gameplay

Overpopulation by SimonAura 2018-08-15T09:42:22Z

Was not able to figure out how to propely fly the spaceship. I keep getting destroyed right after I take off. The intro was very well done and polished. the menus ingame could have used some more love tho. The music was nice

Desktop Clout! by James Shipp 2018-08-21T15:08:03Z

Really interesting take on the theme, really liked playing this game. Gameplay could be a bit faster and some soundeffects would be nice

NIGHTMARE by mcarrera 2018-08-15T08:37:43Z

Text in the beginning was very hard to read. Game is fairly simple but kinda fun with all the music and soundeffect. I was definitely running out of space

Escape from space by Dodeca 2018-08-13T12:29:33Z

Music was really good! Gameplay was confusing and easy and the menus don't work. To win al you have to do is fly in one direction and wait

Trash Mage by Mustiman 2018-08-15T08:52:31Z

Great music and sound effects, needs more tweaking in my opinion
