LD56 — Tiny Creatures (10)

Tiny Creature Breeder by Ausstein 2024-10-12T20:52:52Z ♥ 1

Fun take on an incremental game. It's a polished entry, and I like the original way to interact with the incremental element (although it gets a bit annoying as you start having a lot of creatures). The visuals stay coherent throughout, which is a plus in a jam. Cool stuff !

Grubbo by RobLaro 2024-10-12T20:28:42Z ♥ 2

Really polished and well made entry (no really, like, damn how ?) , but I... find it super annoying to play. It's really hard to gauge the arc of the arrow, and combined with the angle of the camera, it sometimes doesn't feel fair at all.

Movement felt a bit... counterproductive ? I'll concur with other commenters that moving around was often more of a detriment.

Literally everything else it top notch for something made in 3 days, audio, visuals, general gamefeel.

Karma Keepers by Nazariglez 2024-10-12T20:19:29Z ♥ 1

Reminds me of the gnorp apologue, which was also made in rust ! Like gnorp, i love the way there's just so much stuff happening on screen at some point, its fun chaos !

Traction Bugs by TimBeaudet 2024-10-12T17:53:53Z ♥ 1

Ooooh nice concept, had fun racing around with the swarm of cars ! Controls feel a bit weird, but I can't quite nail down why, and it doesn't run as well as i'd like, but fun entry regardless !

Whiskers of Fear by tinykidtoo 2024-10-12T17:41:01Z ♥ 1

Well made little game ! The cat AI felt a bit inconsistent and somewhat easy to avoid, but yeah otherwise I had a good time with it.

Cosmic Critter Chess by tomrijnbeek 2024-10-09T17:41:40Z ♥ 1

I, uhm, wow, I'm actually impressed ! Consistent pixel art, genuinely interesting tactical gameplay and ideas, cool music, there ain't much to criticize !

Against All Odds by JuanRod707 2024-10-09T17:18:45Z ♥ 1

That was fun ! I'll concur with other commenters, the spiders can feel a bit too tanky, making it feel like you're just waiting around spamming archers for them to die at a couple points. It does increase their feeling of inevitable doom, which i'll mark as a point for mood :) I like the visual style and atmosphere, the kinda lo-fi aesthetic works well, i love the way the little units are presented.

Let it Bee by Skeltor 2024-10-09T16:45:14Z ♥ 3

Ah another cool bee game ! There's some cool ideas in there, but I felt like this lacked a bit of polish, here's some points of improvement:

- Gameplay is not super clear, I had to basically trial and error to see how to kill enemies, and how they behaved. The game does give you the leeway to do that though, so it's not too much of a problem. - Individually there are some pretty great sprites, but their scaling is inconsistent, which means the game ends up looking a bit messy at times.

Regardless, good entry, keep up the good work :)

Bee Bop by Madbarron 2024-10-09T16:23:21Z ♥ 3

Cool little game, interesting idea ! Looks and sounds great. A bit confusing, I wasn't entirely sure how the bees would go to a given place.

Tiny Mushy Froggies by BitLuderRb7804Fr 2024-10-09T16:14:46Z ♥ 1

Fun little frogger-like, I like the pixel graphics, and the gameplay is fun to play around with for a bit. It feels a bit random and you can sometimes get stuck respawning into pedestrians, but cool entry otherwise !

LD47 — Stuck in a loop (22)

emiT by Rikitaner 2020-10-11T19:28:16Z ♥ 1

The art style is neat, and it plays very well, nicely done ! A way to start rewinding before the end of the 5 seconds would have been cool.

Hook and loop by Kaiomoi 2020-10-08T22:08:08Z ♥ 1

Niveau level design, c'est cool, tu utilises très bien les mécaniques implémentées, royal !

Niveau gameplay, c'est réactif et c'est fluide, vraiment pas mal ! Le seul petit bémol c'est que c'est vraiment pas clair dans quelle direction tu vas commencer a tourner quand tu t'accroches, c'était notamment assez frustrant dans l'avant-dernier niveau ou la deuxième boucle me faisait partir directement dans le rouge la moitié du temps...

Bon, niveau artistique, je pense que tu sais déja que c'est plutôt basique, mais ca fait l'affaire pour rendre tout ca jouable et c'est lisible.

Au total, j'approuve, une bon petit jeu ! 👍

Woofice Chair! by JorgeGameDev 2020-10-08T21:47:50Z ♥ 3

Fantastic presentation, original gameplay, a great package ! The only criticism I could maybe find is that it's not exactly 'stuck' in a loop, but I'm really nitpicking here.

An Exercise for the Reader by Jordan Kelly 2020-10-08T21:29:23Z ♥ 1

Such an interesting entry, despite the lack of game within it, you have a very soothing voice you know ? :)

It's interesting to hear how someone else dealt with the alloted time, or lack thereof here ! You get better at estimating how long things will take as you practice more, and you can alway get more things done with a team, especially if you want to focus on art ! The other solution scaling down and making simpler games, which can still work quite well if it's well executed enough.

Thank you for this, and hopefully you'll do better next time !

State your name by OwlyCode 2020-10-08T21:12:28Z ♥ 1

Great atmosphere ! The sound and visual design match perfectly, and the length was on point, great entry !

Hangin' Around by Nocity 2020-10-07T19:23:09Z ♥ 1

Cool minigames in a very funny, nice looking and sounding package. funny interpretation of the theme too !

Re-Version by vlandemart 2020-10-07T19:08:26Z ♥ 1

The rewind mechanic is so well executed, I love it !

The game is indeed lacking in the visual and content department though, but it's a very interesting base !

Loop Stuck by Kirby 2020-10-07T18:52:19Z ♥ 1

Nice little game ! the hitboxes are a bit weird, leading to few strange deaths... On the other hand good style ! pretty cute !

Car Looper by Snotax 2020-10-07T18:37:52Z ♥ 1

Cool puzzle game ! I felt like the time limit was kind of out of place though, was it really needed ?

Runaway Railcar by Michael Horst 2020-10-07T17:56:37Z ♥ 3

Not the most original of gameplay loops (hohoho), but the graphics and overall fluidity and polish absolutely make up for that. Very fun little game !

Fort Loop by deepnight 2020-10-07T17:26:50Z ♥ 1

Are jam games even allowed to look this good ? It plays beautifully as well, not much to say here, great game !

Last Lap by RoofloorWall 2020-10-07T17:14:22Z ♥ 1

Well executed idea ! Love the super crate box inspiration !

The game could stand to be a little bit smaller, in that I mean the zombies and the car should be bigger, and the car handling could use a bit of work, especially relating to walls.

The sound effects work well, and graphically it's coherent, if a bit simple.

It's The Leash I Can Do by hemlocksoames 2020-10-07T17:04:02Z ♥ 2

Oh that's a fun concept !

The gameplay could use a bit of polish, it was slightly frustrating when someone I was targeting was hanging just next to a rock and just not allowing me to catch them with the leash, for example. Also a weird issue where the fullscreen game would crop out the upper bar, so I couldn't see how much time was left...

Otherwise the art and music make for a nice and funny package, Cool ! 👍

Asteroid Catcher by Jcourt 2020-10-07T16:53:51Z ♥ 1

Interesting concept and take on the loop theme. The music was nice ! Good on you to implement a tutorial as well.

In practice manipulating the asteroids is too hard though, most of my points came from just smashing UFOs in the center, I think the game would flow better with an orbit reference or ruler of some kind. The art is also a bit too simple, can't say it's a strong point.

Overrun by GameDevMatt 2020-10-06T19:10:16Z ♥ 3

Pretty good !

Could use a bit more visibility on the enemy projectiles, and I found the enemies that just went straight forward a bit annoying, as it was impossible to shoot them without putting yourself in the line of fire, especially when 2 or more were aligned.

I chuckled at the voice lines :P, and the 3d art was not bad !

Universalis by Hawkin 2020-10-06T18:58:05Z ♥ 0

Fun little thing, very soothing. The orbit calculations were indeed a bit off, and it would have been cool to see an actual game with those mechanics, but a nice package overall ^^

Driven Round the Loop by JoeShanahan 2020-10-06T18:51:53Z ♥ 3

Okay that was fantastic ! The concept is awesome, and the government site theme actually got a good chuckle out of me, all that in a polished and fluid package. Plus you can't go wrong with those EXPLOSIONS !

My favorite so far, great work !

Chicken Leggacy by Magic_mike 2020-10-06T18:23:40Z ♥ 4

I could never manage to lay more than one egg, which meant I couldn't progress very far :( The overall art is pretty cool, I appreciate the graphics and music (that title screen !). The gameplay lacked a bit of fluidity though.

Verdict : pretty cool !

Around by Feesh 2020-10-06T18:12:16Z ♥ 1

Weird gameplay rythm, but pretty interesting once I got used to it. The art style was unexpectedly effective as well !

RunnyMcDodgeFace by ZEST_is_BEST 2020-10-06T17:51:09Z ♥ 0

This looks like it was a bit too ambitious for the 72h, I found the gameplay somewhat clunky and slow, the game could really use a bit of gamefeel polish. It does look quite good though !

Re-Slash by Croxel Studios 2020-10-06T17:17:48Z ♥ 1

Managed to stumble through all of the levels ! Feels polished and plays handsomely, very well executed !

Purgatory Mechanic by Flawed 2020-10-06T16:54:58Z ♥ 1

Cool concept, nice style ! The game leans on being a fair bit too hard though, and I was a bit confused about what it wanted me to do when switching rooms... All in all, I like it !

LD39 — Running out of Power (20)

Batterycorp by Aurel300 2017-08-02T19:43:55Z ♥ 1

Great entry ! consistent graphics and original environment !

Energia by aemiliu5 2017-08-02T18:17:15Z ♥ 0

Kind of meh graphics, but I liked the upgrade system and theme in general, a fun entry !

Exile by yves 2017-08-02T18:00:52Z ♥ 1

Satisfying gameplay and consistent aesthetic, I can't find much negative to say, an awesome entry !

Gymtastic by LittleLegend 2017-08-02T17:52:30Z ♥ 0

The gameplay is pretty stiff and punches lack a bit of reactivity, but pretty good theme and visuals !

UFO Abduction by dreadloaf 2017-08-02T17:33:28Z ♥ 1

Lacks a bit of progression in difficulty or ability, the game is a bit too easy. Otherwise, pretty fun !

Alienation by Robber 2017-08-01T22:26:23Z ♥ 1

Impressive visuals and effects, smooth gameplay, it just gets a bit repetitive after half the relays

Depths Disconnected by drazil100 2017-08-01T22:11:19Z ♥ 1

The gameplay is really smooth and satisfying, though some of the art is kind of blurry. Had a lot of fun in those 5 minutes !

Energy Thief by Fireshake 2017-08-01T21:57:56Z ♥ 0

Movement is a bit stiff, and the enemies' movements can be a little frustrating, but a fun little game nonetheless !

Greenhouse Dystopia by DeadlyAlive 2017-08-01T21:29:09Z ♥ 0

Very nice looking with a bit flawed gameplay, the character feels slippery and it makes navigating kind of frustrating.

Battery Life by justinooncx 2017-08-01T18:56:05Z ♥ 1

Very, very cool ! The idea is really good, the only negative is that charging batteries is kinda frustrating.

Fading Points by SMILEY_4_ 2017-08-01T18:53:31Z ♥ 1

Pretty cool, but a bit hindered by some unclear things like which wall will disappear next, and what direction the red dots will take.

PLUG ME ! by Ramou 2017-08-01T18:23:11Z ♥ 2

Definitely a good one, the controls are a bit rough around the edges but that is to be expected of a ludum game ! Nice to see such good things coming from fellow frenchies !

RavageR - The Lone Swordsman by Ethan Allwood 2017-08-01T18:14:05Z ♥ 1

Really, really good, incredibly consistent art and feel, satisfying gameplay and you have a great little game here ! As has been said before, it's missing a player damage signal.

Scrapjunk Couriers by reBTF 2017-08-01T18:03:05Z ♥ 2

Very intriguing concept, but it lacks some cues as to what exactly everythings does.

Recoil - Mike Said No Short Titles by Cynical Monkey 2017-08-01T17:55:46Z ♥ 1

Lacks some clarity in how you lose charge and what you're supposed to do, but otherwise a well executed game !

Power Defense! by Rushar 2017-08-01T17:47:53Z ♥ 1

This was pretty fun for the couple games I played, I liked the fact I had to balance between alternating keys correctly and stopping to buy turrets.

Long Distance Runner by easy82 2017-08-01T17:29:31Z ♥ 1

Cool ! Nice art and audio, gameplay is a bit simple but pretty enjoyable nonetheless !

Drainor by RainbowKappaGames 2017-07-31T23:55:10Z ♥ 2

The basic gameplay is pretty satisfying, I enjoyed my 5 minutes with it !

Submergence by Elizziebeth 2017-07-31T23:40:06Z ♥ 0

I couldn't find a way beyond the second panel, so I'm not sure if there's anything after that... But from what little I've seen, I liked the atmosphere and the music !

The Book Of Dawn by SophistiCat Games 2017-07-31T21:31:07Z ♥ 1

An interesting concept, but there's not much of a game there. What's there is definitely beautiful though !
