LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Eternal Crisis by cerno-b 2022-04-05T20:50:29Z

Great entry. I loved the visuals and gameplay. The timer mechanic works well.

Kiwis Can't Fly by DDRKirbyISQ 2022-04-15T21:11:52Z

Beautiful, poetic, cute kitties <3

Wizard's Chores by mmason 2022-04-19T13:22:24Z

My old gamer eyes had a hard time reading the text, a little more contrast or larger font would be cool. Nice entry.

Moon Base EVAC by notime4games 2022-04-04T13:51:11Z

I had to go full screen to see the advance year button, but once I did that I worked out how to play. The ending invasion is cool, that's probably the smallest pixel art enemy I've ever seen, well done, good game :)

Color Clock by mixon00 2022-04-04T13:43:25Z

Very re-playable, would be good on mobile :) Got to beat that highscore!

Lazer Bean by johnnysix 2022-04-04T10:30:13Z

I had no idea what was going on, but I had a good time doing it lol Does pushing up not aim upwards? I kept on dropping my laser cannon. Very good sound/art and technically must have been challenging with the destruction. Well done, strong entry.

My happy weedy farm by Marin0104 2022-04-12T21:55:57Z

Love the cute graphics and gameplay to match!

Pass The Torch by Dan Smith 2022-04-06T12:42:16Z

Great overall mood of this game, creates a unique atmosphere. Well done :)

Fuse Lit! by pdotjpg 2022-04-07T18:59:12Z

Great concept with commercial promise :) Clever design of the puzzles, top entry.

BLACKSUN by Davide Rossetto 2022-04-05T20:58:12Z

Very polished entry. Had fun, easy to play. The Gods were pleased!

Why Bother by Vilmantas 2022-04-04T10:40:43Z

Very atmospheric graphics. Great work on making all the assets within the timeframe, very impressive. Crying in your house as the world turns to zombies: relatable lol

The Last Keeper by Bugord 2022-04-07T20:46:18Z

Top tier graphics <3

Farm Dog by Trypants 2022-04-12T17:05:47Z

Had a lot of fun, top entry! :) Swquaak!

Ludare OS by foxwater 2022-04-04T13:57:28Z

Bleep Bloop! Awesome!

Snowmageddon by PurpledArtFrog 2022-04-05T11:27:19Z

Great overall presentation, gameplay was fun. I swear I saw a killer whale briefly, but might just have imagined it lol

Flailing Motion by Brandon JS Lea 2022-04-15T18:16:37Z

Cool entry, some player feedback would be nice so you know when you are about to die, but I enjoyed it.

The Great Flood by cassowary 2022-04-11T09:34:13Z

Very tranquil gameplay experience, great sound and graphics.

Rising wind Island by ShivArt 2022-04-05T17:39:45Z

My favourite entry played so far :) Top graphics, satisfying gameplay.

The Last Savior by JustusPan 2022-04-05T12:37:28Z

Loving the art and the gameplay. Played quite a bit, solid fun experience.

Too Cute for Space Fights by YogurtTheHorse 2022-04-05T21:13:37Z

The art and all the vfx are fantastic. Took me a few goes to get the jist of what to do, but was super fun.

Tabby Turmoil by tetrapteryx 2022-04-06T12:49:36Z

@lucy-lu sorry for the loss of your cat friend :(

Love this cat-house-wrecking simulator meow!

Lumber Tracks by Black Flag 2022-04-04T18:03:57Z

I jumped out my skin when the train hit the village lol, very nice art, and that background beat is rocking! Also liked the change of music when the train sped up, gave a sense of urgency. Great entry, fits the theme well.

Delay the inevitable deforestation by bit66 2022-04-04T14:34:53Z

Fun gameplay, on my second shot the enemies bugged out a bit and got stuck, and I was able to grow the tree forever. I think I beat the game, long live the trees!

Fifty Dollar Smash by Benjamin Gare 2022-04-06T19:32:28Z

Fun game, played the web version, performs well :)

The Pit by ZwodahS 2022-04-04T16:40:49Z

Lovely game, with some fleshed out card art I'd def be into something like this.

Tree loves Sun by AppoxGames 2022-04-04T09:35:51Z

Cool concept, I had trouble with the tree growing red branches and dying a lot though, I thought switching to the moon might cool it down, but not sure. Very zen, chill like experience.

Nelson's Nightmare: Remastered by clemonades 2022-04-07T21:14:45Z

Nice art, sound and some solid gameplay. Noice!

Battery Low by Milestone Games 2022-04-05T11:14:10Z

Great entry, I especially liked the sound effects. Well done :)

DLAY's Buffet by BinaryPrinciple 2022-04-04T01:04:08Z

Love it, the sound really adds to the atmosphere of the boss battle. How did you make the sheep sounds? lol

Arkaris by Dimini Inc. 2022-04-11T09:23:43Z

Wasn't sure what to do at first, but clever idea. Nice music as well.

Macler by Teun de Vries 2022-04-15T10:27:30Z

A neat adventure/survival game. The art is unique and cute, and I enjoyed the sounds, added to the atmosphere :)

(this is not) Dating Advice by nyxkn 2022-04-15T10:19:32Z

Left after 24 days, still counting it as one of my more serious relationships lol, Fun game :)

Baggy & Maggy by Revetoon 2022-04-19T19:31:20Z

Very cute graphics and overall presentation. Great work!

Uranium by Simpathey 2022-04-04T10:54:32Z

Love the music, gameplay is pretty fun as well. Atoms go smash!

The Joys of Being Undead by CodeRaurus 2022-04-04T09:25:16Z

Feels like a solo tower defence game, had a lot of fun playing it. Very nice graphics/animation. Is it possible to lose though? I lost all my crystals on the first level but was still able to pass.

Terra Defensio by MrchickenBoy 2022-04-04T09:16:09Z

Solid game, my only comment is that it would be good to have a little more time to react to meteors, maybe by zooming out the view a bit. Or maybe a warning indicator to show that there are meteors approaching, that might work.

Super Mowser Bros by Guilloteam 2022-04-05T16:49:16Z

My fav jam so far! The graphics are so cute and the gameplay is good!

Never High Noon by Jibberwocky 2022-04-04T10:12:57Z

Great idea and awesome execution. All the stars from me.

Frantic Alchemist by spadekHemoglobiny 2022-04-04T10:20:43Z

Not sure if I was playing it right, but I couldn't avoid being crystallised lol Nice UI design making the keys be related icon wise

CryptoHunk Market Platform by jabsatz 2022-04-05T11:44:50Z

I think I made 15.7m on a sale, where do I enter my cc details for a cash out?

Penguin Rituals by mmisspelling 2022-04-08T10:21:44Z

I liked this game a lot, the penguins are charming :)

The Dungeon Lord by Thoastbot 2022-04-06T12:06:57Z

Very unique concept, I had fun making a dungeon.

Overwhelmed by Asieke 2022-04-04T09:48:34Z

Lovely art, I couldn't help but feel a little 2 frame animation head bob wouldn't have gone amiss just to add some life to the screen, but it works :) Gameplay is good, get's pretty difficult.

Lovers Defence by metatheria 2022-04-05T04:52:01Z

Cute art and characters, and good gameplay. Well done!

Cup Half Full by BangTheWall 2022-04-04T14:10:54Z

Had good fun playing it, well done.

ENDURACE - Drift Or Die by Phillip Scott 2022-04-08T10:30:50Z

Lagged a bit on the webgl version but the download one was flawless, good job, much fun! :)

Giraffe o'Clock by Kepsert 2022-04-06T12:27:06Z

Top game, I enjoyed the humour, and everything really. 6 happy purple stars out of six.

Airborne Retribution: Legacy: Revelations of Invasion: the Return 4 Deluxe: Gold by Eli Peters 2022-04-11T09:27:31Z

Good work! Bring on the bullets! Funky musics.

Jailbound Joyride by AmberFall92 2022-04-05T20:44:36Z

Amazing :D Everything, amazing. Love the arcade style gameplay. Would play this a lot if it was on mobile.

BOX IN OX by Jonah_SRG 2022-04-04T10:58:36Z

I've been playing for like half an hour trying to get gud lol, very well executed concept.

Keep Cool by Nebiros 2022-04-04T10:48:37Z

Love the little parallax effect on the title screen. Overall, strong art direction and enjoyable gameplay, great entry.

B-Game by squaxcom 2022-04-04T10:03:00Z

@jonah-srg @appoxgames thanks for playing and the feedback :) I agree about the viewport, I should have made it zoom out a bit when you moved your queen to give a better view of the gamefield. Will do that in a post-compo update. Thanks

B-Game by squaxcom 2022-04-04T10:04:35Z

@danashrulez thanks very much, I would have liked to have added more but my bee knowledge is low haha

B-Game by squaxcom 2022-04-04T14:15:29Z

@foxwater wow, thank you very much. I'm a programmer by trade but have been practising doing pixel dailies for the past 3 months to try and get gud. I regard Paul Robertson as one of the modern day pixel masters so that's a huge compliment, hopefully one day, with a lot of work I'll get close to his pixel pushing ability.

B-Game by squaxcom 2022-04-04T17:19:22Z

@oneowerse thank you :) I considered putting a tutorial for the first year, but ran out of time. The short rounds kind of help I think, as you kind of learn on the job :bee:

B-Game by squaxcom 2022-04-05T03:55:04Z

@simpathey I'd love to have a purely casual game where you just explore a garden :)

@black-flag thanks for the great feedback and for the video review, some fantastic feedback for when I come to do a post-compo update.

@castitatis thank you very much :)

@webox thank you, sound was a bit last minute, I should have normalised all the sfx; will do post-compo update.

B-Game by squaxcom 2022-04-05T20:35:12Z

Thanks for the lovely feedback everyone :bee: I started implementing some changes ready for post-compo on your feedbacks so far: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/50/b-game/early-feedback

Abandon Ship by SpaceyLake 2022-04-06T12:36:10Z

Sweet game, liked the concept and well executed! The pixel art and animations are also very nice.

Distract The Cat by danashrulez 2022-04-04T00:26:07Z

lol, fun game :)

For all the Cheese by ToasterTot 2022-04-05T04:05:52Z

Lovely game. The presentation and art direction is top notch. I was biffed to death by the cat monster lol, just like real life.

Hungry Bird by GameDevAlexandr 2022-04-04T10:24:58Z

Very well done game, enjoyed the art and even has some Bees in there lol

Impending Doom by Castitatis 2022-04-05T03:35:28Z
