The mood is awesome! Well done on that aspect; both the graphics, the story, and the music complement each other well!

Sometimes cards seem to get stuck... Weird?
https://static.ldjam.com/raw/d4d/z/64fa3.png

Seems like Emperor loses from both Fool and Magician, so it's more of a rock-paper-paper than a rock-paper-scissors :)
Heya! It's me again!
https://static.ldjam.com/raw/d4d/z/64fa0.png
Had fun playing your game, I can see big improvements compared to your previous one! :)
Well done!
---
Here are a few things I've noticed while playing.
Maybe this should be displayed on the first platform, not the second, as to get there you have to *double jump*, therefore you probably know that already ๐
https://static.ldjam.com/raw/d4d/z/64f9e.png
The crow-swarm-summoning animation is really really cool and satisfying! I'm not sure why the crows sometimes go in the wrong direction, though.
Pretty fun! (Even if I think I pretty much cheesed my way out of the whole game by alternating left and right click...)
The maze was an especially interesting concept; getting the *Bawls* out of it required a bit more strategy than the rest.
Loved the ending!
Oh no, emoji aren't getting displayed on Linux (via Wine)!
https://static.ldjam.com/raw/d4d/z/64f9a.png
Can you tell me what font you're using? I might be missing it, but I can install it if I know which it is...
Question: What are you supposed to do when you run out of souls for summoning, for example because you spammed Enchanted Blade? Should you just accept your death? Or is there a way to passively get souls?
A w e s o m e !
Is the source code available anywhere, by chance? I'd love to inspect it!
Looks really nice!
Simple but fun game! Got to 19 waves.
Reminds me a lot of Pokรฉmon Ranger, which actually does the breaking the traceline thing you wanted to do pretty well (even though to do that in your game it would require a button to press)! Make sure to check it out for a couple ideas.
It took me a while to understand I wasn't supposed to encircle the cookies but instead protect them...!
Are structures supposed to always say "Will produce in 0 turns"? I'm a bit confused...
This was... quite an hard puzzle game!
I see you've entered in the audio category, but I didn't hear any audio coming from your game; is that a bug?
Too hard for my smol brain ๐
I agree with other commenters: an *Undo* feature would've been very very useful!
Level 7 was genius! โญ๏ธ
Reminded me a bit of Baba is You...
The true bus experience.
Had to turn off audio due to some weird stutter. I'm playing on Firefox 118.0.1 (64-bit) on Arch Linux.
That *Teddy Bear* sound left me with ears ringing... ๐ฌ
This was absolutely great!
Due to how the enemies attack (a straight piercing line), it feels like defensive ships are useless... I think the best strategy is just to buy as many *Destroyers* as you can without expanding the playing field too much.
There's a lot of space for expansion of the game just by making more, different attacks!
It would've been nice to have more choices for ship placement: either by allowing the movement of ships between rounds, or by allowing the player to choose the direction the grid should be expanded in.
Like all auto-battlers, I think this too would benefit by an income mechanic: "would you rather save money and take a chance at defeating the enemy, or go all-in and make sure to beat it, but possibly not having enough money do then defeat the final boss?"
Heya!
I can't rate this, as I keep accidentaly closing the game by pressing Ctrl+W, which closes the browser tab...
Please change the crouch key!
(And maybe lower the mouse camera sensitivity a bit, it's really, really high...)
Cool concept!
How many skills are there? I think I saw five: - Armored Car - Exploding Car - Expand walkable area - Safely reveal any tile - Retrieve arrows without them being destroyed
Are you supposed to be able to stack multiple files with each other?
It seemed deliberate, as it would increase their power in exchange for them dying all at once...
@digitaldude555 Was thinking of the same thing... Who gave a shotgun to the Getting Over It guy!? ๐ซ
Really liked the game! ๐ ๐
Found a few bugs you may want to fix:
- "Buy a new ship" dialogs stack on each other - Scrolling down the web page causes pieces to be misaligned relative to the mouse - Planets can produce delivery requests to themselves
Also, an idea to improve even further the user interface: do cargo types have an effect on the gameplay? If not, a simple and great improvement would be color-coding the packages of the same color as the planet they need to go to!
Oh, and you may want to rename "Trapana" to "[Trapani](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapani)" ๐
Timed solitaire with food!
Possibly one of the hardest cooking games I've ever played ๐
Very original! ๐
This is addicting!
https://static.ldjam.com/raw/d4d/z/5fe87.png
I'm playing another round...
Fancy horror game (even if a bit incomplete)!
Couldn't figure out how to get past the fire-breathing monster, though... What were you supposed to do there?
Great and clean!
Surviving 60 seconds was a bit too easy though, I would've liked for it to go on for a while longer...!
Hi from [the fediverse](https://c.im/@Spitko/111168660997964380)! ๐
Amazing game all around! Reminds me a lot of the early game of [Slay the Spire](https://store.steampowered.com/app/646570/Slay_the_Spire/), but with cyberframes instead of slimes! ๐
A few things that I think would've been really useful are:
- a surrender option for those fights you stand no chance of winning (maybe with it not rewarding a new frame piece if not enough turns have passed) - a few extra card animations, as while the current one with the card detaching and launching towards the enemy is beautiful, it gets a bit boring after a few fights - a fast forward option for animations, for the same reason as above (just like Fast Mode in Slay the Spire!)
Anyways, well done! ๐
Tiny but fun!
Reminds me a lot of FTL: Faster Than Light ๐
Graphics and concept are ๐
Having no checkpoints is a bit harsh, and in general the game feels a bit slow, as if it was running at 0.5ร speed, which makes hitting spikes really painful ๐ฌ
Speaking of spikes, this one has a bug which made me die twice by falling through the platform:
Trying a new format for my comments: **stream of thoughts** while playing the game!
Ooh, so that's how it works, it's a bit like ice puzzles!
The playback of the action feels a bit slow... it would be nice if it was a bit faster!
How does this spinny thing work...? Oh, it rotates things relative to itself!
Huh? Just one goal block? Is getting a single piece of glass there enough?
Buttons feel a bit slow to press...
It seemed like the glass shape broke for no reason at a certain point. Weird...
This looks hard...
Oh, it actually is easier than I thought. If only the glass piece didn't move so *slowwwwwww*...
The rotating animation is smooth and satisfying though...
Wait, maybe it's not so easy. OHHHH, I can rotate the rotators!!
Ok, this takes way too long. I'll try another level.
Oh, fancy! Two pieces at once! Nice and clean! Done.
...it's still locked?!? I guess this is it, then!
Clever puzzle game overall, but I'm too tired to think it through...
Desperately needs to be faster in the Playing Phase!
Fiyah concept!
A bit slow to play, though, and the absence of a tracker to mark what you've already read makes things much more difficult...
I'd recommend adding a guide to allow LD Jam raters to get through the whole game after they've gotten one ending so that they're able to properly rate you in everything!
Nice game!
The character's hitbox is a bit too large for a bullet hell game, I struggled to navigate between bullets even when no caffeine was there...
The shrinking screen mechanic was nice! ๐
A Restart screen would've been useful for when you run out of lives and want to play again!
Got to **Wave 9**!
Really really really like the concept and the concept of how it would have been executed, but the game itself is a bit empty ๐
Well done anyways!
Cool visuals, but I struggled to understand which files the user wanted to keep and which ones they wanted to delete...
Interesting concept!
What's the difference between walls and pits?
I didn't manage to understand from your description.
*(Won't rate the game because I didn't have anyone to play the game with.)*
So... shiny... ๐ป ๐
I managed to **complete the game on normal** with 10/7 gems on the third level!
The **atmosphere and mood were great**! Your depiction of a foggy landscape was very realistic, and the **monsters dwelling there were a perfect fit**; the **music too fit the mood of the game** very well!
The **camera pixelification** _(not sure on the correct term tbh, even if we used it in our own game)_ **was done really well**!
Good idea **positioning the player at the bottom of the screen** instead of the center to give more screen space to the surrounding environment and allowing you to think about what route to take to collect gems!
On the first playthrough for some reason **I missed that extra gems would convert to upgrades**. Not sure why, I immediately noticed the message the second time...
A **jump key would've been great** for those rare cases where gems would [get stuck floating on rocks](https://i.imgur.com/nkLzoDg.png)!
**Enemies ended up being a bit harmless** (on Normal difficulty), maybe making them faster would've helped to put the pressure on the player... Are they faster on higher difficulties?
Overall, amazing job!
Thanks for **providing a native Linux build**! I appreciated it!
I thought I had seen your name somewhere a while ago... I was right!
I found both your account and Nightingalle's on the Fediverse and followed you both! ๐
Yarrr! Solid game, me hearties! ๐ดโโ ๏ธ
Fun and strategic gameplay in deciding what to plant in advance, which can be easily extended by adding more actions to battles requiring different resources!
About that... what's the point of cannonballs if you can use any other resource in place of them, and they take the same time to grow? (No time to implement different growth times?)
The game crashed right before the final boss battle! :(((
Thanks for **providing a HTML5 build**! Since I am playing on Linux, I appreciated it!
So. Many. Cores! ๐ถ ๐ท โฆ๏ธ
- Score 3651 - 165 kills - Harvested 48 enemies - Reached wave 11 - Rank 7 out of 22
Impressive UI and presentation for a jam game! You even added a leaderboard!
Mechanics are fun! Having an unique upgrade for every enemy type was a great idea! (I would've appreciated a damage upgrade of some kind, though, by the end of wave 9 I felt a bit underpowered compared to the large amount of health of "Shield" enemies...)
Music is a bit repetitive and not too much fitting to the game's mood, in my opinion... Maybe something more fast-paced would be better?
The camera rotation effect felt a bit weird and almost gave me motion sickness... I understood what you were trying to do and I think that it is a good idea, but something is off in the implementation, and I'm not sure of what.
Thanks for **providing a native Linux build**! I appreciated it!
~~Plants vs. Zombies~~ Medieval weapons vs. Devils? ๐น
A well made and polished tower defense!
It initially seemed pretty weird that money is deducted when a tower is picked up from the shop, instead of when it is placed, but then I noticed that towers could be sold for their full price, and it started making sense.
The gatling gun feels a bit weak compared to the flamethrower, especially for that price... Please buff it? ;P
Is it intended that the more towers you have, the less wheat grows and the less income you get? It feels a bit unusual for a tower defense game, usually you get more money the further you get in the waves...
Thanks for **providing a HTML5 build**! Since I am playing on Linux, I appreciated it!
> Warning: Widescreen monitors not supported, play in a 16:9 aspect ratio.
What do you mean by this? A 16:9 monitor IS a widescreen monitor! Perhaps you meant to suggest the opposite (no 21:9 or 4:3)?
The start is horribly slow, but after that the game is pretty fun!
Consider maybe giving players more starting money?
Nice **bee**-ld up going from the flower field to the disco!
Really gets you **buzzing**!
I HUNGER FOR MORE ๐ฝ
Your gameplay is the same as the one of [Sea Salt](https://store.steampowered.com/app/983350/Sea_Salt/), but with much better controls! I like it a lot, but both games suffer from the same problems, for example that controlling large swarms is frustrating, while it should feel empowering!
Small complaint about controls: I would've appreciated dragging with the middle mouse click, in addition to the right mouse click, it feels a lot more natural and similar to an RTS...
The atmosphere was great, and I feel like the game fit the theme very well!
Good job!
Thanks for **providing a HTML5 build**! Since I am playing on Linux, I appreciated it!
With this many magic crystals I will become rich! ๐
I have no feedback; this is my favourite game so far! Congratulations!
Thanks for **providing a HTML5 build**! Since I am playing on Linux, I appreciated it!
The seeds... they have grown! ๐ฒ
Things get **really hectic and challenging** in the later levels: I like it!
**Swapping tiles is a bit uncomfortable**, as it can mess up other plants you have already set up, or it can be cancelled by dragging a tile on a unmovable one.
I'm not super-convinced on the double-timer approach, **you can find the perfect place for a plant yet fail it anyways because you didn't leave there long enough**! It makes sense as a mechanic, but it doesn't feel really fun...
I noticed a small bug: in the pause menu, **the Main Menu button doesn't seem to work**.
Larger levels can get the **bottom part cropped from the game window**.
Both **graphics and sounds are consistent** and adequate to the game's style!
Overall: **great job!**
Thanks for **providing a HTML5 build**! Since I am playing on Linux, I appreciated it!
Stealing crops, are we? ๐งค
**Fun little game**! Also **very difficult**.
Catching vegetables is really hard without a way for the foreground man to **walk backwards**! Many times, stopping isn't enough!
Didn't play with sound. Sorry! I couldn't turn my phone volume on!
A mobile game! That's unusual for a game jam! I'll reward you for that!
**The game does not run on Firefox Desktop**. (I'm not sure why...) I suggest you mention that, or you'll get confused players who won't understand your game!
A small little easy tower defense! ๐ฅ
It's so simple I don't really have anything to provide feedback about, **good job for your first jam game**!
Thanks for **providing a HTML5 build**! Since I am playing on Linux, I appreciated it!
Amazing graphical effects, with the visual upgrades to the excavator and the digging trail and the smoke and everything!
Gameplay was a bit same-y and excessively long, I quit way before getting to the "Win" upgrade. Try to make your game ~5 minutes long next game jam! :D
An incremental game! A classic!
**Simple, but fun!**
Thanks for **providing a HTML5 build**! Since I am playing on Linux, I appreciated it!
1. What purpose does the TAP button serve? It does not seem to give any money...? Does it payout only when the delivery truck comes to harvest wheat from the silo?
Simple but original idea!
_I'm not sure if it's GDPR-compliant, though..._
WOAHHHHHHHHHH THE TWIST! Really surprised me! Good work! ๐ป
**Smooth and fun little game!** Without the twist it would've been boring, but it being present turns the game into a medium for telling a really short story!
Thanks for **providing a HTML5 build**! Since I am playing on Linux, I appreciated it!
It's a nice screenshot, but where's the game?
[I was able to build the game for Linux!](https://github.com/makscee/ld-52-shading-flowers/pull/1)
_BIRDS AREN'T REAL, THEY ARE SPACE CORPORATION DRONES SENT TO DESTROY NATURE!!! ๐ฆ_
I think I did pretty good!
- Time: **6m 48s** - Harvests: **93 trees** - Kills: **874 birds** - Money: **$1396**
Good tower (tree?) defense game!
Harvesting trees was **fun and thematically appropriate**! Not sure why my golden trees never got any snow on them, though.
**Graphics were nice, but not very consistent**: birds and planets had a completely different style... Did two different people work on them? ๐
The ***Shooting tree tier 1* was pretty much useless** even in the early game, it never managed to hit anything ๐
The huge waves of birds that started spawning in the late game were really nice to see, but obviously impossible to defend against. A **good endgame overall**!
The sounds were **awfully loud and nonsensical**. _My poor ears..._ ๐ญ
Thanks for **providing a HTML5 build**! Since I am playing on Linux, I appreciated it!
Hmm. It's time to leave some feedback. โ๏ธ
I survived a long time, but I didn't manage to score anything. I think I misunderstood how to harvest time, and only made it collapse...
The **mood of the game is great**! It really seems like an apocalypse in space!
The **mechanics and platforming are fun and enjoyable**!
The **graphics are consistent everywhere**, which is not something you always see in Ludum Dare games!
Something weird is going on with the music: it **started playing halfway** both of my play sessions...
Thanks for **providing a HTML5 build**! Since I am playing on Linux, I appreciated it!
Was the name inspired by The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, by chance? ๐
It does not seem possible to rate this game: is it a bug?
Oooh, a card game! I'd give my liver for more of those! ๐
I survived **445 hours**! _considering that I got bored of micromanaging and started clicking randomly after a while, I think that's pretty good, hehe_
The mechanics are great and **remind me of [Reigns by Nerial and Devolver Digital](https://www.devolverdigital.com/games/reigns)**!
It was **very hard to understand the mechanics** directly from the game, though. Perhaps a better UI is needed?
I loved how the **effects of every card were thematically meaningful**! I didn't really enjoy how almost **everything makes you draw two more cards**, which eventually would end up getting burned without you having almost any control over it.
It seems it's really hard to find a work in this economy... Maybe **more "Work" cards in the starting deck** would've been nice?
Too bad for the complete absence of sound, I think it would've made the game funnier or more serious, while right now **the mood is a bit lacking**.
Great job overall! ๐
Thanks for **providing a HTML5 build**! Since I am playing on Linux, I appreciated it!
**The game does not run on Firefox**. (It probably requires `SharedArrayBuffer`, which is not currently supported.) It's not your fault, but I figured I should be letting you know!
It's so weird you haven't got any comments yet ๐ญ
๐ซ โ๏ธ Freeze! Hands up!
I was able to collect **5 cups of coffee**! _And then I died to an acid cloud_.
The game is **pretty fun** and surprisingly varied! I definitely did not expect the arena made of vines...
Sounds are a bit **stylistically inconsistent**, especially the one of the gun / triangle shot, which ends up feeling... out of place (?)
There were some places where I was able to **jump more than two times**, like inside the vines arena. Not sure what was happening, but it wasn't a big problem.
Thanks for **providing a HTML5 build**! Since I am playing on Linux, I appreciated it!
**The game does not run on Firefox**. (It probably requires `SharedArrayBuffer`, which is not currently supported.) It's not your fault, but I figured I should be letting you know!
You haven't rated any games yet! Make sure to rate other games made by other people, or people won't play yours and you won't get a score at the end of the jam!
A great stealth game! But I'm too bad at stealth games to complete it... ๐ก
I got to the **ninja-shadow-boss-thing** and died repeatedly, so I stopped playing ๐
**Visually amazing**! Congratulations!
Gameplay is fun, but sometimes it can be skipped by **rushing to the end door** and ignoring stealth completely _(hehe)_ ...
Loved the **enemy ambushes when the end doors started opening**!
Thanks for **providing a native Linux build**! I appreciated it!
NOOOO! WHAT HAVE I DONE! I HIT MY COW DAISY WITH MY HARV AND SHE EXPLODED IN A SEA OF BLOOD... ๐ฎ ๐ฅ
My best time was **02:21.83 seconds** !
I don't have much to complain about: it's a **very good game** overall!
The corn being cut provided a **very satisfying visual effect**, and is a **very interesting mechanic on its own**, comparable to coins in the Mario Kart games! I wish the Grand Prix mode was finished so I would've been able to see the total mayhem all Harvs would have caused...
**The cows are a bit difficult to see** in the middle of all that corn: I'd add a dark border around them like you've done with the corn meter, so that they'd be easier to spot!
Maybe **the camera could be improved** a bit as well: keeping the player always at the center is somewhat a waste of screen space, as seeing what's behind you in a racing game is not important as seeing what's in front!
Thanks for **providing a HTML5 build**! Since I am playing on Linux, I appreciated it!
Fun and challenging game! ๐ฆ
I lost after scoring **1471**!
The **controlling the player felt really nice**, but something odd was happening: **releasing a key did not immediately stop the movement** from happening! Do you perhaps check for input only irregularly?
**Music and sounds were great**!
I didn't understand how to play until my third playthrough... Try **adding more details to the game page** or **adding a small tutorial** to make that easier for new players!
I still **don't understand how seeds work**: it seems that I always planted carrots, and that the quantity of seeds in the bag never decreased?
It would've been nice to have some **feedback on the purchase of an upgrade**, like a ka-ching sound effect. Also, I somehow managed to go into debt, and at one point had **-10 ๐ต**!
Thanks for **providing a HTML5 build**! Since I am playing on Linux, I appreciated it!
Tried to play this game on Linux using Wine... it did not work, so I didn't rate the game. ๐ซฅ It's not your fault, so don't worry! Too bad, it seemed pretty *chill* ๐
Please **provide a Linux build if possible**, so I can play the game!
Arrows, arrows everywhere! โฌ๏ธ
Oooh, a **visual programming puzzle game with action elements**, since monsters move in real time! That's interesting! Have you ever played a game by [Zachtronics](https://zachtronics.itch.io/), by chance? Programming puzzles is their specialty (and solitaires, I guess?)!
I had to stop playing before the last level since I got **stuck after landing on a pause tile**, just like @archfan7411 said.
A good idea to make playing the game smoother would be **hotkeys to pick up arrows**: `W` would pick up โฌ๏ธ, `A` would pick up โฌ ๏ธ, and so on, making placing them easier!
Please **mention the platform your game is for** somewhere on your page: I'm on Linux, and I wasn't sure if your game could work on my PC until I downloaded it!
Well done for a game developed in... half a Sunday? ๐ณ
I survived 213 seconds!
The atmosphere for the game was good, especially with the fire slowly running out: maybe next time consider **using a floating point value for the fire**, so that it runs out smoothly!
Since chopping an unit of wood takes 1 second, and the fire consumes 1 unit per second, you're **doomed to run out of wood after some time**: is that intended?
The **falling tree sound made me laugh** quite a bit!
This reminds me of a game I made for a previous Ludum Dare: [**The Cold Night**](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/50/the-cold-night)!
I wasn't able to play the game, so I didn't leave a rating. ๐ซฅ
**I'm not able to download your game**, as [this link](https://files.jam.host/uploads/$315807/gatherAI.zip) responds with *HTTP 404 Not Found*. Is the CDN of ldjam.com broken, or did something go wrong in the upload of your game?
Please **mention the platform your game is for** somewhere on your page: I'm on Linux, and I'm not sure that your game can work on my PC!
Nice first game! ๐
I felt that it was pretty weird that the **camera couldn't move up or down**, but just left and right: is it a limitation of your engine, or is it deliberate?
Instead of making the timer on the user interface count up to 120 s / 60 s, you could make it **count down to 0 s**, so that it's intuitive that you have to collect all apples before the time runs out, and you don't need to explain it in the tutorial!
The **second level is brutally harsh**: if you fall off once, you have to start over from the first level! Maybe consider having the player respawn somewhere, and only sending them back to the main menu if the time runs out!
You classified your game as a *Mod* on Itch.io: that's for modifications to already existing games, like the ones that go on the [Steam Workshop](https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/). The correct category should be *Game*, as your game is not dependent on anything else to function!
The swap mechanic followed by the post-battle "move steal" could make for a great deckbuilder roguelite, I loved them! ๐คฉ
Sadly I can't say the same of the sound design, which... I didn't really like. Sorry ๐
The sounds were stupidly fun, though, so I scored you pretty high in Humor :D
Great minigame collection, I especially liked the mortar one where you have to spin the mouse, reminded me of the DS Pokรฉmon games ;P
Too bad that the 10 second mechanic is only used to spawn new clients, it would've been nice to have some pressure on the potion brewing!
Probably **the best game I've played this jam**!
Congratulations!
Cool concept for a platformer and great level editor!
_The default levels were a bit disappointing though... Were they just a proof-of-concept?_
A few more things do not work properly in the WebGL version, such as the restart button ๐
Yay, another puzzle game!
**Solid entry**, I can't think of anything to complain about...
Perhaps there could be something to do while waiting for a laser to shoot and there are no more moves...?
I won with two chests!
Very unique idea, making a watch game!
Tilt controls didn't work on my Android phone on Firefox :(
Interesting concept, which creates a nice tension making for a great mood!
I think I am pretty good at counting seconds, because I stopped very close to the 10 second mark and then immediately died ๐
https://static.ldjam.com/raw/d4d/z/531bb.png
Is there an ending?
Super cool "tower" defense game once you start getting a stable income, but the start is _so much slow_ I almost stopped playing out of boredom :(
I think that having *both* a limited income and a placement cooldown is too much...
Absolutely love the graphics, though!
Another game I'm unable to load, curses to the LD embeds never working properly :(
It's probably not your fault, but the error I get in the browser console is:
> Uncaught DOMException: The operation is insecure.
Consider uploading your game somewhere else too, like to Itch.io!
Heya!

First thing: you have rated a lot of games, so you're almost on top of the "Classic" game queue, but for some reason you're very low on the "Smart" queue, which is the one almost everybody uses to rate games.
Since the "Smart" queue uses a ~~stupid~~ algorithm where your positioning depends on the hearts you've received from other developers in comments on their game pages, I'd suggest you to leave a small comment on every game you play, so that your game may get more attention!
-----
Second thing: my review!
Pretty cool game overall: I appreciated it, even if I usually hate horror games... I think it's because of the "spooky, but not scary" mood it creates. **Well done!**
I managed to get the green key, then I died an horrible death to the idol that was chasing me ๐
I can't get the game to load :(
https://static.ldjam.com/raw/d4d/z/531b9.png
Please fix so I can rate it!
Yay! I saved the Piรฑata Party!
Now, my review:
- your core gameplay loop is fun, and controlling the character was pretty good! - not knowing when the Piรฑata was going to burst or how many cacti were needed to pop it made me get a frustrating game over the first time I played - graphics are... very programmer-y, but it's a good thing that they are all consistent and at you have a walk cycle which contributes well to the feeling of the character controls - something weird is going on with your music: there was some kind of background noise in it probably caused by your recording method, and additionally it seemed like another song was playing at the same time? - I appreciated the explaination of why we have to pop the piรฑata, seemed funny to me - the mood, like the graphics, is pretty consistent and works well
Overall... **pretty good job** for your second entry! ๐
@sensei @meowcat @kappadacqua @andreaterenz @ichicoro Remember to rate and leave feedback on at least 20 other games, or you won't qualify for a score at the end of the jam!
Maybe blocks should stay for an entire wave of meteorites, instead of only for one hit. Hmmm...
Hello friends!
I... didn't understand the planet resources until reading the comments.
I'd suggest adding that to the game description!
Finished all levels and enjoyed the game quite a bit!
The little detail on the player when jumping was ๐
Controls are pretty nice, but I'm pretty sure arrows shouldn't flip while flying ๐
-----
I'm not able to rate this game; there are no buttons to do so. Ensure you have not opted out of ratings!
This LDJam page is bugged. I can't start the game or vote...
**Mission success!**
Overall a nice compo entry, I really liked the anomaly shader! ๐
It would've been nice to have two controls to rotate left and right respectively to readjust the spaceship, though ๐ ๐
I'm not sure of how it's connected with the 10 second theme, but it's ok, following the theme is not mandatory...
Really good game, reminds me a lot of [Puzzle Pirates](https://www.puzzlepirates.com/), and in a good way!
-----
Hurray?
Something went wrong while loading the g
Couldn't play the game on **Firefox 105.0.1 (64-bit)** ๐
Really fun!
Too bad it crashed while I was playing :(
So many orders to keep up with!
I think that by the end of the day, I became a master pizzaiolo! ๐
...where's mozzarella though? Are we serving only "red" pizzas? Shouldn't red pizzas at least have oregano? ๐ค
-----
Ooo, a management game!
Pretty nice, but once you have 3 employees you start outpacing the walls cracking, and the game becomes only a matter of clicking in the right places...
Simple but nice game!
Thanks for posting a `.jar` so it could be played on non-Windows platforms :)
Something weird happened when I got to ~70 points: the audio suddenly stopped working... I'm not sure why.
Pretty cool game!
I don't really have anything to say about it, it's a solid experience!
Amazing ~~Tetris variant~~ block stacker game!
Nothing to complain about, except my Tetris skills: I'm absolutely terrible without a drop ghost ๐ป
Really liked the idea of multiple difficulty levels with score multipliers, reminds me of some old indie games I used to play as a child...
My best score? I only got to ~4900 points in Lusty mode ๐ญ
โ ๏ธ Your itch page is still a draft, nobody but you can access it, please set it to published! :D
Ohhh, didn't expect the 10 second mechanic. I suggest you to write about it somewhere, or people will be confused!
Like @greenphox, I discovered a certain code, but wasn't sure of how to use it.
Great concept, having progression be knowledge-based reminds me a lot of Outer Wilds :D
I loved the rewind effect! โช๏ธ
_That boss fight was too hard for me, though :(_
The F14's controls are a bit weird, in my opinion: it moves for a while even when the key is not pressed, as if it checked for its release once every second (?)
The online leaderboards were a nice touch: more LD games should have one!
> Used tools: [...], craiyon (to generate cloud sprites)
[You're not allowed to use AI-generated content in the compo, for this edition.](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/51/$296587/welcome-to-ludum-dare-51)
Pretty cool (and maybe a bit too easy)!
Would've been really good if the boat was a bit more responsive to controls, it felt weird to turn.
Trippy!
_I didn't understand the story, though._
Ah, yes, pathfinding time!
That "Pirates have blocked one of your routes" voice sounded like an anti-virus program or something lol
A Mr. Saturn offered Fronk a coffee!
Fronk fell asleep?!
Tasks were a bit SUSpiciously similar to Among Us :P
Ah, the unstoppable snail, a classic!
Really enjoyed this take on the theme!
Where's the game? :P
One of the best games I've rated this LD! :D
Great game!
Turrets should be drawn below the player and other bullets, or it will become difficult to dodge.
Would've been more fun if the left and the right lane branched to different dialogue lines!
The Linux tutorial download link is broken :(
https://www.dropbox.com/s/a622xwz3u7qo1vz/CatronautLinux.rar?dl=0
Definitely fun!
Could've used a way to speed up retries :P
Something is weird with the audio: music only plays in the left audio channel...
Magic was the hardest spell to use in my opinion! :P
๐น Pretty fun and complete game!
My record was 33.
Can the Zok miss the shuttle, or is their hatred for dogs so strong that they play perfectly?
> I HATE DOGS!
Would love a Linux build to try out your game!
I did it!
The game is pretty fun, once you understand what to do.
The problem is understanding what to do... ๐
The french buttons did not really help...
I saw an Untitled Goose in a level ๐
The normal difficulty is quite easy, but the hard is actually very hard, and is where the game shines!
The time loop mechanic (and the friendly fire) really adds a lot of depth to the game. Good job!
What an unusual entry!
Good job on creating a small TTRPG with so little time :)
I'm not sure if I should rate it or not, as I won't be able to effectively play it... What do you think?
Very interesting mechanics! You basically made a puzzle-roguelike, which is quite unusual to see and may be pretty fun to play once more content is added!
(Why did you opt out from almost all grading categories?)
I can't see the correlation to the theme, though. How is it related to loops?
Ah, yes, an hacking game!
Pretty short and polished, it's good enough for a LD entry!
Have you ever played [Hacknet](https://store.steampowered.com/app/365450/Hacknet/)? Your game reminded me a lot of it...
The game seems pretty good, but my framerate was so bad it seemed like I was playing in slow motion...
Also, the turrets seemed to have their sprite flipped in the wrong direction.
Very clever concept for a board game, and really good job with the mood (both music and graphics), but the rate of push cards should be increased a lot, as both me and the bot got stuck for the whole game in the middle of the board because only pull cards spawned.
Solid entry all around, from the game mechanics to the graphics to the sound!
Great job!
https://static.ldjam.com/raw/d4d/z/39190.png
Game got stuck on loading :/
A syntax error pops up on the web console: ``` Uncaught SyntaxError: illegal character ```
No Linux version? ๐ญ
Pretty simple but relaxing game!
_Does the rain ever stop, though?_
Also, where are the loops?
There's no game here. Please check your itch.io page!
Amazing mood and graphics, but the game by itself is a bit too easy :)
โ ๏ธ **WARNING: LOUD MUSIC!** (please lower the volume of that, I had to mute the sound of my computer to play the game...)
The stacking game is pretty good though, and the graphics are very good! ^^
Can you please share the source code? :)
I don't really trust running software from unknown sources..
Fancy puzzles!
I already saw the same "ghost" idea in many other games, but this is the first time I've seen physics integrated with them. As you might expect, I loved the wrecking ball level or the "catapult" levels :)
Pretty good, and nice particle effects :)
I enjoyed a lot more killing the metal-balls than the eye-triangle enemies, as they added the complexity of making sure they went in a direction you were able to shoot them again!
Please post the game link! :D
๐ Cute game!
As a fan of visual novels, I liked this a lot, and I think I'm going to rate this one very high!
A technical thing: it may be a good idea to disable the choice selection for a second immediately after it pops up, so you don't accidentaly pick something while clicking ๐
How did you manage to coordinate so many people in a game jam? In my team we struggle if we're more than 3! ๐
Nice game!
It took me a while to understand what to do, but I had fun when I got it! :D
I wish there was an option to turn off the motion blur... I hate that effect in all games, and it always is the first thing I turn off when playing something... :/
There's something wrong with the pivot point of the player character: I think it's off-center...?
I totally didn't expect a typing game! ๐ฎ
Great job, the fast pace made for a challenging game. ๐
The only problem was the bathroom meter. It was far away from the gameplay area, so it was a bit hard to keep track of it while playing... I ended up failing 3 days because of that. ๐
Excellent idea! I had a lot of fun finding out the best strategy for this!
I found a strat to stay alive indefinitely:
- A professional firewall - A six-port switch - 5 three-port switches - 10 Serverstations
Just a question: I didn't hear any audio in the game. Why did you not opt out from the Audio category?
Nice! The controls remind me a bit of [Crypt of the Necrodancer](https://store.steampowered.com/app/247080/Crypt_of_the_NecroDancer/)... Good job!
Probably a better RTS than [War Selection](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1022450/War_Selection/) lol
Good job, even if it is an incomplete prototype! :D

๐ AMAZING! Great job, everyone! :D
๐ Only thing... The walljump detection felt a bit weird. [Maybe do what Celeste does and allow wall jump at a short distance from a wall?](https://twitter.com/MattThorson/status/1238338583297028099)
Does the game have an end or is the world infinite? (Does it wrap or is it procedurally generated?)
What do the water puddles do?
Does this platform have eyes, or is it a lighting bug? ๐
https://static.ldjam.com/raw/d4d/z/32921.png
Exceptional atmosphere!
Sounds, the dark cave, the sprites and the platforming mechanics combine to make an amazing (but short) game. Congratulations! :D
๐ Cool and quite complex idea for a tower defense! Well done! :D
๐ The tiles on which you can build are a bit small... It would be a good idea to make them larger!
๐ The targeting algorithm the towers use feels a bit weird...?
๐ Did the game crash after I ran out of lives or was it closing itself intended?
๐ก A restart key would be very useful for Ludum Dare testers that mess up their design :P
๐ Really cool idea for a relaxing idle game!
๐ I like that each plant has its own name, such as "Freida (Basil)"
๐ Recycling does not give back money as implied by the icon.
โ๏ธ The timer on the wall runs faster than the real-world time. What is it for? Is it some kind of day-night cycle?
๐ก A cheat code to instantly get some hearts would be amazing for people that want to play your game but are short on time! :D
โ๏ธ How is it connected to the _Keep it alive_ theme?
Dunking asterorids into the Sun was never this fun!
Good job! :D
I love the _thunk_ sounds the asteroids make!
I think a clearer indicator of the Sun's temperature would have been good, the yellow radius felt... a bit weird...?
Nice!
It reminds me quite a bit of [Super Crate Box](https://store.steampowered.com/app/212800/Super_Crate_Box/). Have you ever played that? :)
Uhh, I hear Plants vs. Zombies music. Since I'm pretty sure you aren't [Laura Shigihara](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Shigihara) (and so that you haven't made the music yourself), please opt out from the Audio category!
Hey! This game is fun! Well done! :D
I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't any enemy beyond the ๐ eyes, I was hoping for a bit more of a challenge โ๏ธ ...
Good job, though :)
@bredera Wait, what? There was music? I didn't hear anything... :/
I won... nothing!
I'm curious about the full list of words... Are there more than the ones I discovered?
Pretty fun typing game! Since its setting is Italy, I think using Italian words would have been a cool mechanic... Even though I'm a bit biased, being from Italy ๐ฎ๐น myself... :)
Nice game, but a bit too difficult...
The halo spawning _above_ the head of the cat makes sense from a logical standpoint, but it makes positioning it correctly quite hard... Also, the cat sometimes seems to slip off the halo...
@lakrits [LocoRoco](https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/LocoRoco) or [BADLAND](http://badlandgame.com/), perhaps?
Your game cannot be downloaded for some reason...
Is there a typo in the download link?
Hello! Your game page on itch is currently set to Draft; as such, nobody can download your game.
Please publish it ASAP! :)
Was this meant to be published in the Unfinished category? I'm not seeing any [releases](https://github.com/takecare/lifeiscurrency/releases) on your GitHub repo...
Spectators comments are awesome and very funny!
The dash feels good to use, and is a nice mechanic; however, it allows to easily kite enemies, making getting to God and beyond a bit too easy :)
Overall, well done! :D
Creating a stream-overlay-game is a pretty unique concept for Ludum Dare, so congratulations for the idea!
Game is pretty simple... I'd lower a bit the voting time, though... I think that's 60 seconds is a bit too much.
@michaelsonbritt @twenty5clocks @roidz You can play it if you have a Twitch account by configuring the link appropriately and by sending chat messages in your channel, even if you're not streaming!
Hello, and congratulations for finishing your first Ludum Dare game!
Please remember that to get a score on your game, **you'll need to rate at least 20-25 other games** in the [Games page](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/44/games)! :)
A complete (small) game for a Ludum Dare! Well done!

Getting up here and finding out there was nothing was a bit disappointing... ๐ญ ๐
Cute game, though!
I think spikes have some kind of hitbox problems, as they removed a different amount of hp-coins every time i touched them...
Appearently a platformer, but actually a **puzzle game**! Clever!
The character animations are funny and appropriate (the old man walking on the sword is gold ๐), and the mechanics of the game work, even if they are a bit... raw (attacking through the wall to kill a monster is a bit immersion-breaking).
Well done!
Yep. He definitely forgot.
Edit the game page and add it as soon as possible! :)
@twowolf Sorry, the [link](https://two-wolf.itch.io/ld44-lifeheart-exchange) still isn't working...

Hey... There's something wrong with your [itch.io](https://bieloruss.itch.io/furrtheking) link...

I moved from playing [Enter the Gungeon](https://store.steampowered.com/app/311690/Enter_the_Gungeon/) to playing this, and I felt the movement, camera and aim mechanics were definitely solid! Well done.
However... I didn't understand the point of most of the items in the shop. Is the slingshot (lol nice sound) a downgrade?
Pretty fun though! ^^
Pretty good game! Having to decide on... how to lose my health made for some interesting choices. Replayability however might suffer because of this. Can't really comment on audio and mood, since I played it with the sound off. Overall, good job!
Simple and fun incremental game! Well done!
AWESOME!
Not being a native english speaker, I had some trouble with some parts, but the walkthrough helped a lot. Very well done!
(Try to rate some more games so you get the exposure you deserve too! :) )
Good game! It reminds me of a minigame in a Mario Party (was it 8?)...
Good graphics and audio!
I'd suggest making the colliders of the planet larger, to count in the gravitational pull.
Also, there's an exploit where you can launch horizontally and you'll always hit a planet (maybe away from the expanding sun, giving you more time / infinite time to act)...
I loved this!
The simple story is perfect for the simple mechanics, and all the levels are challenging enough to be satisfying to beat!
The best game I've played for this jam! Really well done!
Great execution and nice wireframe graphics!
I'd suggest adding more complex shapes as furniture, as in Tetris... The game gets a bit too easy with only 1x1 and 1x3 pieces ๐
Nice game! I didn't understand that you could be killed by your own lasers and got a few game overs without understanding why... I'd suggest adding a note somewhere or making the cause of your death clearer in game.
Really fun game and beautiful graphics!
I didn't get how it was connected to the theme, though... Did I miss something?
One of the best games I played. Very well done!
I have the same problem as @webthingee, owning a Steam Controller... Can you release a standard Windows Build?
Something isn't working with the textures on my computer... Here's the [log.txt](https://gist.github.com/Steffo99/a3243c0e7244df24371993da6ce58811).
โI can't play your game because Windows says some libraries (VCRUNTIME140_APP.dll and MSVCP140_APP.dll) are missing. Can you help?
Fun game! Too bad it gets laggy at higher multipliers, or I would have kept on playing for quite some time...
YOUR GAME SUCKS!!!1!! Just kidding ๐
Pretty nice game, but I think that it would benefit a lot from a smaller play area such as the one in the tutorial, so it would be easier for the player to strategically build his terrain.
Nice minigame!
You should be aware that there's a way to cheese it (exactly like in real life):
passenger_simulator_2018-08-14_11-37-19.png If you immediatly start running between the people and the rail tracks, you'll be guaranteed a place on the train car!
Fun game! I got to more than 3000 points!
Just a question: what are the blue tiles? Is it water?
Interesting concept! Reminds me a lot of [Tricky Towers](https://store.steampowered.com/app/437920/Tricky_Towers/)...
The music and graphics really are appropriate, but I think that it would be better if the left and right arrow keys applied a force (like the up arrow) instead of torque (spinning the block around)...
Interesting and difficult!
There's a tiny problem though: thanks to the 3 second freeze bonus when you discard a card, you can keep cycling through your deck with the piece frozen in place until you find the card you want :)
I'm pretty sure you are supposed to leave a download link or at least some pictures here, otherwise we can't rate your game and it gets stuck at the top of the smart filter.
You made an addictive game! I played it the longest of all games I've tried so far! ๐
The hammer sound is really satisfying... **THUD THUD THUD**
The only thing I can complain about is that I think the plants take too much time to grow, so replacing them to earn money becomes really dangerous.
The idea is good and unique: sokoban and bullet hell could turn into an interesting game!
Too bad your team didn't finish in time...
Awesome game!
Fun, addictive, good graphics and dynamic music.
Really good! Well done.
Awesome puzzle game!
Add a small tutorial, some sound, improve a bit the graphics (especially the knight) and you have a really good game!
I loved how you gave a different name to every slime: I started laughing as soon as I saw the first death message!
The game was fun, but since the enemy slimes don't actively engage you (unless you stand still) winning is too easy and almost pointless.
I think you chose the right music: I immediatly got hyped when I heard the drums!
Sounds also fit the mood of the game.
Overall, well done!
Hahaha! I started and downloaded the game without reading the description, and laughed quite a bit when I got to the first battle.
Then I went back, and actually read the description...
I liked it! Graphics and sound are pretty nice too, so good job!
The ambience and the sound of this game are pretty good! Sadly, I can't comment on the rest of the game, because the encounters have some kind of bug where the outcome is predetermined and ignores all keyboard presses.
I liked this game!
The cube-berries remind me of [the Cuberries in Slime Rancher](http://slimerancher.wikia.com/wiki/Cuberry).
I was playing it with a friend beside me, and he said it would be cool to add some enemies to shoot at with the Seed Gun, so you would have to regrow the bullets you use.

I loved the mood of the whole area!
I managed to find the Green Fairy, but then, while exploring with my newfound double-jump power, I fell out of bounds with no way of getting back up, and pretty much faced the choice of starting over or sitting there in the void...

It's true that it's fun to discover new combos on your own, but I guess it's not ideal in a competitive game?
Maybe having a list that you would uncover while playing

Uuuh, do a certain amount of squares in a row self-destruct or something?

Ummm, how did a 2x4 square turn into a cross?

fun! i got to exactly 50 points...
*Treat Toss* is a run-ender lol, it's much more difficult than the other minigames
sort of hoped there would be a boss minigame at a certain point, like in warioware
a thing that i think would be important is to **list the basic controls in the game page**, so that players don't get caught off-guard when starting at first, like it happened with @a-priori!

Endgame screenshot
Look, it's today in the game!
https://static.ldjam.com/raw/d4d/z/68d71.png
User interface
The user interface was pretty good and satisfying to click through, which is the main thing to get right in this kind of game!
It pausing the game when the trade select menu was open got more in the way than helped, though, as the main bottleneck was how fast I could click through trades...
Unique pilots
How many pilot images are there?
I seem to have rolled the same ones multiple times...
I think it would've been cool if pilot images were associated to an unique name and ability, instead of being random... My first two pilots had the same surname and I had initially assumed it was intentional, and started thinking of some headcanon like them being related in some way...
I spy references to Evangelion and *a certain other game* in the other players' screenshots ๐
Critters
Well, here are your *tiny creatures* for the theme, I assume! Hehe.

Ahhhh! Minigolf roguelite...! Dangerously addicting and fun! Well done!
I can see people playing this for quite a while, but there are a couple things that in my opinion need to be changed:
- running out of ammo and just sitting there helpless in the map feels very bad; having some kind of reload would improve things a lot (a special cell, maybe?)
- more types of cells! right now, moving from a cell to the other is very easy most of the time. but what if some of them ***moved***? now you'd need to predict where it will be when you arrive there!

great job nevertheless!

so relaxing...!
i'd play a longer parkour game with the same mechanics i think
really liked the music too!

Loved the twist on the usual course-programming games allowing you to move objects in real-time!

A cool variation on Frogger!
Doesn't feel you're much in control of what happens, though; felt like the best strategy was to get the hang of the full jump timing and spam that until you got through all lanes..
