LD45 — Start with nothing

LD45 - Square World by ZwodahS 2019-10-07T11:23:42Z

Really fun simulation!

Nothing To The Moon by badoomtch 2019-10-07T09:31:49Z

That was really fun, got a few good chuckles out of me!

7 Days by AppoxGames 2019-10-07T09:41:07Z

Excellent game! That moment when you realise you've been neglecting parts of your plant and it falls off and dies is gut-wrenching. Gorgeous graphics, nice simple interface. Great job!

First time doing Ludum Dare and using Godot. But I'll do what I can and have some fun along the way!

Creeping Death by SoupStoreGames 2019-10-07T09:15:13Z

@cornettheory Which platform are you using?

Creeping Death by SoupStoreGames 2019-10-07T09:25:04Z

@cornettheory I wonder if it might be something to do with OpenGL 3 over OpenGL 2. Unfortunately, im such a noob with Godot that I have no real idea. Sorry, but thank you for taking a look! I wish I knew what to do to help!

Creeping Death by SoupStoreGames 2019-10-07T09:26:53Z

@happysnake Thanks a lot, that's some really great feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Creeping Death by SoupStoreGames 2019-10-07T10:04:22Z

@gustav-andersson Originally, it was going to be a race between you and the blob to build up and army but I ran out of time. The blob starts with nothing and reproduces though! The lag is a pain, definitely lack of knowledge of how to optimize Godot there. Thanks for playing!

Do you think more infection sites, coupled with a slower rate of spread, would work better?

Creeping Death by SoupStoreGames 2019-10-08T20:03:48Z

@oxrock Oh most definitely :D Thanks for playing!

Creeping Death by SoupStoreGames 2019-10-08T20:51:13Z

@karanveer Thanks for the kind words, I have a lot of ideas about how to take this idea forward!

Creeping Death by SoupStoreGames 2019-10-22T17:03:16Z

Thank you @frogman and @yonman, very kind words. You made me smile :)

Abyssal Maze by AntarcticRuler 2019-10-07T11:27:37Z

Pretty interesting idea! - The ambient music really adds a lot to the mood. - The random encounters feel frustrating when you've only taken a couple of steps in to the darkness. - I sighed and appeared back at the beginning, I'm not sure why. - That dark blue square at the top is intriguing me.

LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Splines 'n Shapes by SharkWithLasers 2020-10-06T22:16:32Z

What a lovely game, challenging & relaxing is a great and difficult combination to pull off!

@roofloorwall Thank you for the feedback, a lot of people who play tested it IRL has similar problems with the concept. Definitely something I wanna solve before moving on to a new project!

Thanks for playing @cwazywierdo! good notes, I think if I made this with more pixels to play with I could make it more obvious - something to think about if I make a higher res version.

Thanks for playing @twobitmatt ! I definitely need to work on my sound skills with the pico-8, and maybe learn to do music too :)

@rohan-akki Thank you, I'm glad you had fun! Hopefully its a good balance of fun and challenging.

Thats a great idea @mercurywitch - maybe a code you could input to unlock all the levels - I work on that tomorrow :) Thank you for playing and I hope you work it out!

Lvl 11 does ramp up due to the amount of things to parse and remember. Try the second link, the `v1.1 Post-Jam` one - I added an indicator to show where the walls are when they are down which should help!

For { } by SoupStoreGames 2020-10-07T10:47:33Z

@mercurywitch I updated the links with `v.1.2` now you can unlock all the levels with a cheat code.

On the menu screen, press the ❎ button on the following levels in order: 12 3 5 19

Thanks for the feedback @sharkwithlasers ! All very valid points and yes the constraints of the Pico-8 forced my hand in many of those decisions :laughing: Thanks for playing and nice chatting with you too!

@amkingtrp Thanks for playing I'm glad you had fun!

I had a real internal struggle with tutorials, on one hand reading a bunch of text to play the game is frustrating and basic - better to learn to play the game by playing it. But then, a game with lots of new things like this often needs more help.

I decided to start by manually explaining the first few basic blocks, but then I tried to craft the levels around a simple puzzle that can be solved by quickly understanding the new blocks. Seemed better than using text at the part of the game.
