LD46 — Keep it alive

Another Bloody Day by Flipsy 2020-04-25T09:28:25Z

Charming little story ! except for the existential crisis scene of course :smile: !

Locked'goshi by StabAlarash 2020-04-22T19:17:24Z

Very neat pixel art, it's cool to discover and playing. When i answered the door, no one was there. Is that because i was too slow ?

104 BPM by codyhansen 2020-04-23T15:38:01Z

It's technical for me to have those six input in a rythm game but it's fun ! +1 for the different CPR tips on the score screen. Very well polished and neat pixel art/music.

Keepalive.exe by PTSnoop 2020-04-25T07:20:13Z

I found it hard to beat ! The movement are not very intuitive for me. Overall it's fun, the graphics and sound design are neat. Well done !

Flour Baby by kiguel182 2020-04-22T18:54:42Z

"It's gym time !" *strongly throw every ball to the same kid* Haha had a good laugh playing your game, nice entrey overall, the hitbox of our character is quiet punishing though :smile:.

Monster Love by Endurion 2020-04-22T12:24:49Z

Solid entry, you have created a lot of levels and elements, the wheel with the mouse is a little bit op and make levels much easier but globally you've managed very well the level design and the difficulty progression. The music is very good and your frankenstein monster is neet. I died on the first level with electricity and i've been respawning in the next level, don't know if it's what you had planned ?

Plum by Heelio157 2020-04-21T09:25:19Z

Waa, c'est très propre ! Je me suis retrouvé bloqué dans quelques situation soit parce qu'on ne peut pas récupérer l'eau des objets sans réservoir ou au niveau deux en grimpant pendant que l'objet tourneCapture.PNG Sinon gros gg, concevoir des puzzles c'est pas facile et le jeu est cool à parcourir, y'a un bon mood grâce entre autres à la DA. Chapeau pour les graphismes =).

À la Fenêtre by DocGeraud 2020-04-22T20:52:36Z

Superbe expérience, très élégante et touchante, on se sent assez proches des deux personnages (peut-être parce qu'on connaît déjà une des deux voix :smile:) Mention +++ au sound design vraiment top, c'est ce qui a contribué le plus à mon immersion mais le reste est tout aussi qualitatif. Bref merci.

The Drown by Simon Rahnasto 2020-04-24T12:05:09Z

Waaaa i had a lot of fun playing your game, it's seems to have such a great qualtiy for a game made for a jam. Good job for all of you, the graphics are really good ! The details like the water reflection and everything contribute so much to immersion. The music creates the perfect atmosphere and all the sound design is stunning ! Specially the voice over ! Awesome ! (Poor Patty at the beginning though :smile:) The only thing i can point out is the difficulty, i finished it without real challeng but that's maybe i've taken the time to build at each round and destroy thme with the number of turrets i built, or the sniper riffle is op :smirk:. Anyway thanks for your entry and keep up creating games it's a pleasure to play them !

The Drown by Simon Rahnasto 2020-04-24T12:20:24Z

@langotriel I'll definitely be there for more content on this one !

The Ill Divinity by Solah 2020-04-20T13:23:19Z

Nice pixel art ! The sound design is also great, too bad there is no music during the game because the one for the title screen is really cool ! The theme really fits well and the game is enough challenging to keep an interest ! I would prefer to jump with the up arrow to have each hand dedicated to a set move.

goose no lose by Kultisti 2020-04-21T11:23:05Z

The way to move is a little bit exhausting, i found myself spamming the arrow keys to move faster, i've protected my goose until a "someone" block the way to unlock the second gate at a decisive time x). Nice job on the pixel art, it's clear and well done !

Companion by Akadream 2020-04-24T14:27:16Z

Nice game, too bad i was waiting for a badass boss fight at the end, but i guess that just mean i had fun :smile: an wanted to continue. You did very well on the pixel art for a beginner !

Overall it feels really polished !

Plantsitter by FloYams 2020-04-21T09:33:50Z

C'est très joli, au début c'est un peu obscur niveau mécanisme, mais j'ai assez vite compris comment les outils fonctionnaient, après la première plante on se fait tellement aggro par tout le monde pour s'occuper de leurs plantes x).

Hommel by Supernapie 2020-04-23T16:06:13Z

Lmao i felt like hommel weighed a ton with this camera shacking :smile:. Everything is good and well polished, nothing to say. The sound design and graphics are great. The only thing i questionned is to get a timer when you are in the air instead of a flying consumption like bar. It can be enjoyable to planned recolting things while falling. Nice entry overall :v: !

Egg Mother - Keep It Alive! by Barrier 2020-04-21T11:07:04Z

Funny game, a feedback for the dash cooldown is a little bit missing though ! Nice job =)

Me and My BEAST by Electric Blue 2020-04-23T15:46:26Z

The game worked perfectly. Love the concept, it's missing a destination or any sort of goal beside surviving, but i enjoyed squishing those shameful hunters :smirk:. Well done overall !

Big Turnip by Pierre CILLUFFO 2020-04-25T07:46:19Z

Cute Graphics, it gives the vibes of a child drawing world ! Neat sound design, overall it's fun but the lack of challenge makes it quickly a little bit boring.

Saving your Pet by Aristo 2020-04-25T07:59:35Z

Cute graphics, the enemies reminded me a bit of super meat boy character, i felt like defending my dog against them x). It's nice to play a beat them all game, that the first one i found on this jam and i like the genre. The score doesn't reset when i died, is this on purpose. Anyway nice entry !

S for Squad by Asue 2020-04-21T13:46:43Z

Des bonnes vibes "hotline miami", les graphismes et le sound design sont super, niveau prise en main c'est un peu difficile, justement quand on s'attend à du "hotline miami" x), y'a quelques petits bug mais overall c'était fun :)

Precious Animals by despdair 2020-04-25T08:26:31Z

It's hard ! The time to react to a shot is really short, made me sweat :smile: !

Pogo by Motley 2020-04-22T12:55:01Z

Very well polished, i didn't have sound effect before about 3/4 death i think :smile: . The idea is funny to experience and your giraffes are neat !

Final Interrogation by Gamer Fates 2020-04-22T12:45:34Z

Nice entry, it has a nice resting mood but need a little bit of focus to read and check the inconsistency in the suspects answers. That's a pleasant effort you made to created a little cutscene at the beginning and at the end. i had fun, and the music is really good :v:

Fencing Meka by Solweak 2020-04-21T10:59:17Z

@barrier yeah i did not get the time to properly look at the controls but i thought "E" for interact / sword attack was good as you can jump with left hand thumb, index on "E" and use the right hand to move. I should have build a little tool to let players configure their own but key. Thanks for your feedback all :) !

Fencing Meka by Solweak 2020-04-24T07:18:14Z

Thanks all for your feedback !

@hacktrout @kiguel182 @thewinrawr Thanks again, so yeah the elements that overlay and hide some platform was intended, this was an experiment for this kind of mechanics. With all your feedback, i can now see that's not really fun. :smile:

@codyhansen Yeah i slept 3 hours during the entire jam, i really wanted to challenge myself !

Fencing Meka by Solweak 2020-04-25T07:52:38Z

@ptsnoop haha thx, it's noted a lot of people encountered visual issues i'll definitely keep that in mind for my future games.

@aristo This is a 48h compo game, so i'm even more thrilled by your compliments, thanks a lot ! The collider are only on top of the roof, so yeah you can go through the wall, i also keep that in mind.

Thanks a lot for your constructive criticism.

Amanita by Bastinus Rex 2020-04-25T08:06:31Z

"I fed a mushroom : GONE WRONG !"

Really nice atmosphere transition, the cutscene is neat :thumbsup: !

Scare Your Pants Off! by wallyfoo 2020-04-21T11:37:14Z

I played on firefox and it works great, nice job on the graphics and sound design even if i think the music is not original i think ? Had fun playing but damn this aristocrat must have really strong muscles to keep the sitting pose even without the chair x)Capture.PNG

Firekeeper by Minrato2 2020-04-25T08:23:02Z

The art is neat, it's engaging to unlock several abilities throughout exploration. Nice job !

Synergy by Diamond Wolf 2020-04-24T12:15:14Z

The concept of keeping it alive and at the same time depend on him for energy is great ! The background is really trippy and nice, very arcade inspired audio, well done ! I had fun to play some times but at the end i felt the lack of a clear goal or a score to increase. But anyway nice job it's awesome !

No Time to EGGsplain by NyanYann 2020-04-21T09:24:15Z

L'idée marche super bien et est bien exécutée ! Les graphismes sont top, le fond donne un aspect broderie très sympa :). La courbe de difficulté est bien gérée c'était cool !

The Offer by TheWinrawr 2020-04-22T12:34:40Z

You built a nice starting point to create narrative / mood oriented game, as you first game jam, it's really good in this way. You have experienced the lack of time that we all have encountered at some point ^^. The atmosphere is slightly similar to the game i've created that's funny. Anyway, keep up creating and improving =).

Restartigrade by Ezra Szanton 2020-04-24T11:44:02Z

The mood is really amusing, the sound design is neat and you've done a nice level design overall, i felt more the notion of sacrifice your friends to move forward than keep it alive but it was fun :smile:

light. by Szivacs 2020-04-23T15:52:48Z

Among all the games i've tested, this is the most "keep it alive" urge feeling that i got, clever design. The atmosphere is excellent thanks to the nice graphics and the adequate ambient music. The mood is excellent. Really nice entry !

Survivalgo by despdair2 2020-04-25T08:32:05Z

It's a popular genre to show what programming to children, well done. The perspective may complicate understanding on this one, but overall it's nice !

Marvelous Mr Egg by Yoan Allibert 2020-04-21T13:58:42Z

J'ai bien ri, le nombre de tableaux, guitare etc qui tombe en arrière plan x). Master of focus. C'est marrant, le personnage principal est un oeuf comme beaucoup d'autres jeux de la jam.

Qui symbolise facilement la fragilité pour ce thème mais le contrepied de tourner autour d'entretenir la créativité c'est une super bonne idée, en plus vous avez dû sentir une mise en abîme pendant la jam à résister et rester concentré sur la création !

Le style de rendu est super et le jeu est bien fait, seul bémol c'est effectivement un highlight plus marqué des disrupters aurait p-e été mieux ?

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Falling Dwarf by Garywiss 2021-04-27T21:08:51Z

The theme is exploited in a way that everyone could think of but the implentation give a very unique feels. It's certainly due to the great work of combining 2D and 3D. The air control is enjoyable and good job on the generations of the platform !

Is the music dynamic ? I love the way the guitar sounds.

It's obvious that the game is full of inside jokes, when i saw the ennemy with the sombrero throwing maracas i almost spit the water i was drinking. The most room for improvement must be the camera management. Congrats to the all team for your entry !

A Sock Tale by bellatrion 2021-04-28T11:39:49Z

Ouah, j'imagine que ça fait de faire un badtrip :smiley: Le jeu est assez difficile, enfin on meurt assez souvent mais c'est pas trop punitif avec le spam F alors ça va.

Super visuel, c'est creepy et trippant à la fois, la musique est cool mais un peu courte ou s'est arrêté subitement au deuxième niveau ?

Bravo et merci pour votre taf !

Deep in hell by katamary 2021-04-30T10:37:55Z

What an amazing visual novel ! I've really appreciate the effort on the sound design and the art style, you largely deserve the five star on most of categories. Congrats !

Abyss by xotraz 2021-04-27T20:38:48Z

It's a good foundation for a roguelike platformer, it feel a little bit slow but the mechanics to go up and down with inertia is interesting. After collecting like 8 or 9 keys i got stuck x). Good work overall ! gif1.gif

Chameleon Excavation by NykolaR 2021-04-27T19:14:57Z

I love isometric stuff ! The mechanics of rotating the world is interesting, it reminds me of FEZ. Like others mention it I almost died everytime because of falling. Of course you have room for improvement but it's a well complete compo, good work !

Dice Explorer by Solah 2021-04-26T10:26:51Z

Congrats ! It's a very complete entry, the only weakness i can spot is the inconstant level design due to random generations.

However all the mechanics match perfectly together and are well exploited. The graphics and sound design are simple but well done and they are coherent !

I would certainly play an extended and polished version of this game !

BlaBla by Toryf 2021-04-28T10:49:13Z

Awesome art, the music is a little bit epic for an elevator music though x). I've managed to go down for about 12 floors but damn it's hard, i had a lot of fun goob job guys !

DeeperMiner by Twaerd 2021-04-27T20:21:06Z

Hey c'était très cool ! Les lumières sont un peu fortes mais visuellement c'est solide ! On a une petite différence de direction artistique entre les personnages et le reste des assets aussi. J'ai bien aimé la balistique sur les flèches qui force à anticiper les mouvements (ou exploser les ennemis au début de chaque room) et le ragdoll après un fight au cac. J'ai pas compris comment ouvrir les coffres :smile: .

J'ai été bloqué à ma 2ème run, à moins que j'ai loupé un truc ?

(Trop bien la petite danse en easter egg :sunglasses: )

Capture.PNG

Neural Shooter by PatteDeCanaard 2021-04-28T14:25:06Z

Woah j'ai vraiment beaucoup aimé, c'est sans doute le jeu avec le plus de flow que j'ai pu tester en jam depuis bien longtemps ! J'ai fait une bonne dizaine de run jusqu'à la G VI, c'était vraiment cool ! (au début je spammais le click comme un abruti jusqu'à ce que je comprenne que je pouvais juste rester appuyé sur la barre espace :smile: ) GG, tout le contenu est d'un très haut niveau !

Deep Mine by The1 2021-04-26T15:06:12Z

Procedural generation can be a bit tricky to balance, anyway i had fun, it's intuitive and you have several elements inside the game, congrats for your entry !

Diggy by Asue 2021-04-28T14:13:42Z

It needs a little bit of polish on the collision management as others mention it, but overall it's a short fun game. The musics and graphics are good and the liberty to create our own path by building blocks is cool. I would love to play some more challenging levels ! Good job !

Tides by Zelal Deniz YILDIZ 2021-04-26T15:30:59Z

It sure doesn't count as a game, but whatever, the music is really good and we can see that you had fun experimenting with visual tools in unity :smile: . I can see how "Gris" inspired you and i liked that you make me remember this game, thanks for you non-game entry :stuck_out_tongue:

Darwings by Solweak 2021-04-26T10:54:37Z

@sharkmax218 Hi, i keeped the instruments for drawing very minimalistic but i can't add other instruments or improve them now, as it's a compo game which only allow me to dev the game during 48h.

@the1 Glad you liked it ! What about posting your drawings to contribute for science ! :smile:

Darwings by Solweak 2021-04-26T12:12:04Z

@ariorick Thanks, i've built the app for Mac, i'll be glad if you can give me feedback about this version. :smile:

@solah Amazing, thanks a lot for your participation. Those drawings will be precious for the science illustrator community !

Darwings by Solweak 2021-04-27T16:01:56Z

@solah thank her for me, those data will be precious.

@ruthiepee Thanks a lot for your kind comment, there is nothing when you've reached the bottom, didn't manage my time to get a proper clear ending ahah. Your drawings are superb, i especially love the big mouth and the stuffy 3rd monster. I'm honored to have such sientific illustrators working with me.

Darwings by Solweak 2021-04-27T16:12:24Z

@crocodiletuesday That's a cool interpretation you got there, thank you !

@kinart Thanks! If i had more time i would had tools to create perfect circles, squares and a ctrl+Z but i wanted to keep a minimum options to not induce players to make illustrations with hours of works x). You managed to did really even from the first one without focusing on the description gg !

Darwings by Solweak 2021-04-27T17:30:03Z

@timo-strating Hey, I've finally be able to make the webgl build working !

Darwings by Solweak 2021-04-28T10:34:56Z

@mrpouletbzh Yeah it's so fun to see all the drawings, i know that the lack of ctrl+z is frustrating it reminds me how i feel drawing traditionaly after drawing most exclusively digitally ^^. Thanks for your participation as well. Everyone's commitment motivates to participate myself, i will probably post my drawings once i've reached 20 ratings.

Darwings by Solweak 2021-04-30T10:39:31Z

@bungalow This is a compo game but thanks for your comment ! :smile:

Darwings by Solweak 2021-04-30T14:30:44Z

@jonah Thanks to you ! especially for the time you spent on these awesome drawings!

@tyrannas Woah this feels so accurate to the description i made, i feel like even i couldn't be so accurate if i draw them :smile: Thanks a lot for your contribution !

Shoot them down ! by Masaru 2021-04-26T14:47:21Z

It's hard to explore, good job on the 3d assets, they give a strange uncanny feels, what'up with the infinitething space ship :smile: . Keep up your effort !

Dungeon Faller by SouthpawDevelopment 2021-04-27T19:42:02Z

Like someone mentionned I tried around ten times too and keep stucking myself in walls. If you used procedural generations maybe you could just limit the spawn of the weels in a way that the player can always go between one and the walls, and by adding some weels randomly with their center on the wall the player will not get stuck falling indefinitely.

Mention me if you update your game. Good luck !

The Super Futuristic Shrinking Veterinarians by jogy34 2021-04-27T19:26:55Z

Good job on the design of the environements and ennemies, i definitely feeled like i'm in a body surroundings by germs. Are the projectile supposed to be this slow ? We can even run past them x). The platform parts are challenging but you give us a good amount of lifepoints to try and nice checkpoints, good compo entry !

Aftermath by Peace Of Cake Games 2021-04-27T19:54:07Z

Good work on the atmosphere of your game, it's a little bit painful to read all the text with red color and this fonts, it's a pity because the writing is interesting.

Goblin's Cave by Heine Hohenhart 2021-04-27T21:39:42Z

The gameplay is well designed to create a tense atmosphere with the graphics and music. It's very coherent and makes it a solid entry.

I'm So Deep by liammasters 2021-04-29T08:55:34Z

It's a fun short conceptual experience ! love the rolling animation to make our entrance :smile:

Don't Pull It Out by Shin0nome 2021-04-28T12:21:10Z

Nice job on your sound effects and narration on the main screen, it's not easy ! The mechanic is original but sometimes the monsters can one shot you with multiple -20 appeared at the same time. I still have fun though, good job !

Carpet Flea by MrPouletBZH 2021-04-28T12:06:43Z

Superb entry, it's really complete with a lot of levels, even the progressive difficulty is well designed. I feel like playing a super meat boy fan game and i loved it. The visuals and sounds are so appropriate and well done. Love those kind of platformer when skill is mixed with quick timed reflexion. Thanks for your game !

Déjà Vu by BabaDesBois 2021-04-28T11:49:11Z

Interesting mechanic, i would love to play a longer version of it. It's very well polished and cute. It's a solid entry, good job guys !

Rolling In The Deep by KAPA6UH 2021-04-30T10:51:03Z

Cool graphics for the water, the mechanic of moving is interesting but shooting gives more control for moving somehow. Sound design is good and seems accurate, it's a nice foundation. Good job !

Colors of the Universe by Itooh 2021-04-28T11:16:36Z

C'est agréable de trouver des jeux originaux comme le tien, y'a une super ambiance apaisante et hypnotique. On a aussi l'impression d'avoir le contrôle grâce aux effets sonores mais en même temps on est complètement perdu, j'ai erré pas mal de temps avant de valider une étoile. C'était super, bravo !

Deep Snails Night by JLMast 2021-04-27T21:51:47Z

As everyone mentionned it, your graphics are amazing, it really gives a comics vibe ! It will be a pleasure tu see what you can do in my game which is a drawing game ^^. I've exploited a little bug and win easily :p (you can hold the vomit button and keep walking vomiting everywere). Anyway it's a great first game !

Deep into the vibe by Ariorick 2021-04-26T14:59:38Z

It's really pleasant visually, the music works like a charm. The game is a little bit easy but considering you were planning to make this a rythm game i understand. Good job !

The Golden Saucisse by BrokenMatcha 2021-04-28T14:03:49Z

Simple but a good entry for a first game jam, gg ! There is enough different elements to keep this interesting, but i found it very difficult to go out of the water once you get the golden sausage. Keep up the good works !

Dungeon Painter by IanTheBee 2021-04-29T09:10:53Z

Great game, it gives a die and retry feels that you can lessen by shootings paint everywhere, the only weakness is maybe that you have to move quiet slow and be cautious, maybe too much. But that's just my opinion, anyway a super overall entry. Great job !

LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Caring Hero by Solah 2022-04-05T11:59:57Z

The content of the game is impressive and it keeps the flow going during the entire session. In return, I assume, you did not have the time to make the most polished game but i didn't feel the lack of it because the core of the sound and graphic parts is still strong. Congratulations, it stands out from the crowd thanks to its flow for a 48h solo game made !
