LD39 — Running out of Power

Keep your sanity by Lorthal 2017-08-06T14:07:20Z

Loved how the initial sound effects set the tone and had me immediately on edge, and I spent a few tries working out what strategy to use (argh! run run run!) :D

Artax by Flaterectomy 2017-08-06T18:39:25Z

Really loved the detailed, classic style art, and the robot seemed to have a connection to the player character, which was cool (those little emoji speech bubbles were fun) Felt like it wasn't far off from being a polished game from yesteryear -looking forward to playing more :)

Hive Attack! by Runuchok 2017-08-06T14:56:21Z

Hee, fun to see others with a recharge-deliver-use mechanic. Liked how you could stack up to 6 and deliver more, though I struggled to find a balance that worked. Loved the style of the art, don't see much of the giant space wasps but was fun when they flew past - a nice visual reminder in addition to the noise etc that the base was taking damage.

Gameplay does get a bit repetitive and the task feels daunting towards the end, but still has me wanting to see how well I can do on an extra playthrough :)

Battery Defence by longshorts 2017-08-06T15:53:20Z

Fun game (spotted your remark in another game about the battery mechanic, something we'd used too, so had to give it a go :D) The minimap was a nice feature. Loved the simple but cute character, turrets and enemies. Struggled a little with working out how to recharge the batteries, but the first run through was fun :)

Wodewick, the grumpy monster by winniehell 2017-08-01T23:30:46Z

Really cute - love it! :)

PowerBot by Caffeinated Psychics 2017-08-06T18:15:47Z

Really loved the game (admittedly maybe the 2D and style of the head of the robot put me vaguely in mind of Atomic Robo Kid...) - great graphics and sound, and a nice range of objects to interact with

A lone crewman by Kornel 2017-08-06T15:10:41Z

Loved the opening animation and especially the slick subsystem panning. (sadly this occasionally glitched when returning to the ship mode and so the ship was off center) Music was fun and whilst I wished I could have the map open all the time, I guess that's the cost of having a lone spy steal a whole ship by themselves! Took only a little while to work out what I was meant to do :)

Forty2Eleven by rEaX 2017-08-06T14:39:58Z

Great game that was fun to play, and the various enemies, weapon power ups and that great music really added to it :) Was also interesting being able to explore and find the boundaries and for hints to progress.

It's interesting that the standalone version plays so much better than the web somehow, glad I tried it afterwards.

Last Train Out by amarcu 2017-08-06T18:22:49Z

Really loved the art in this game, and the mechanic of two folks and swapping between them was cool.

Pura The Robot by Ramkey 2017-08-06T14:33:08Z

Fun game! I really enjoyed the puzzle design and the way it worked with the "leaving body parts" mechanic.

I found the controls a bit tricky to get into position but stuck at it and succeeded after vapourising poor Pura who knows how many times just so they could rip a limb off at the right position to block the laser. The guns ultimately were my undoing but there was always a feeling of "surely NEXT time I can beat them" ;)
