LD45 — Start with nothing

Null Is Zero by Sunblast 2019-10-11T16:13:36Z

First off, thanks you all for the feedback and testing!

Thanks @CyberStarLight and @BOOtak for the tip!

@changemewtf Yeah I agree, I think the confusion stems from that I struggled to find a good goal to end each level with. But I suppose it also could be solved with some tips/tutorials at the start.

@framg I would guess you mean the second level? I was considering removing some of the steps required to solve it, but never got around to it due to the time constraints.

Cipher by TaqoShaq 2019-10-11T17:10:19Z

Great game! Reminds me a lot of The Witness and I had a blast playing it, felt like time just flew away. The only issue I had with it is that the flashing background got a bit tedious on the eyes. Would love to see a expanded version!

The Auction House by Huntrox 2019-10-11T16:06:43Z

Nice game! I spent quite a bit of time at the auction houses of a certain game so when I saw this I just had to try it. Perhaps a speed toggle/fast mode would be a good idea as the game has some moments of downtime, especially in the start.

LD46 — Keep it alive

Displacement by ryannielson 2020-05-05T15:13:27Z

Nice game had a lot of fun with it, the turn limiter made for a good challange! The only thing I felt was missing was a undo mechanic.

Reeactor by Ace17 2020-05-05T19:27:41Z

A really innovative idea! But it is a little confusing and punishing at the start. Perhaps some more visual feedback could been helpful, like a overheat progressbar on the reactor and one for total power on the turbine.

Save The Egg by Sunblast 2020-04-21T17:03:09Z

Thank you for testing! I can agree that the physics are a little unintuitive. Most of the development time went into making the springs/physics feel nice and look good, there is still a lot that could be improved, but I feel like I learned tons from making it.

Save The Egg by Sunblast 2020-04-22T17:48:04Z

Thanks for all the feedback so far everybody! Seeing everyones experiences so far the first thing I would change is making the spring drag and drop, as many of you said it makes so much more sense. As for physics it is pretty wonky indeed :stuck_out_tongue:

The final spring on 2nd level is kinda optional. I added it since I felt the jump was a little tight, but I am happy to hear people liked an alternative.

Seven Nights in Siberia by Gus Goucher 2020-04-22T15:19:34Z

Nice and relaxing game. I really liked the music and sound!

Box Of Limes by RedDashGames 2020-04-22T16:35:45Z

Really fun and innovative game! Only thing I had issues with was the tutorial level, which I felt was a little choatic, especially all the text. Otherwise an amazing game!

Space Station Techie: Keepin' It Alive by Galactic Chimp 2020-04-29T16:17:00Z

Pretty cool idea, movement was a little odd at times, such as getting stuck in walls. The idea of having multiple tools and having too juggle them was fun!

LD47 — Stuck in a loop

SNAKE SNAKE SNAKE by Sheepolution 2020-10-07T12:56:04Z

Great game that is innovative and improves on the old classic game of snake. Also fits the theme great!

SPĂ…RVAGN by Dustyroom 2020-10-14T14:12:19Z

Amazing game that is relaxing while still being fun. Love both the graphics and the sound. Really liked the Ikea inspired tutorial

Caterpiloop by Marcus Otterstrom 2020-10-14T13:54:28Z

Great game! Graphics was nice and gameplay felt smooth. Loved the sound effects.

The Stone Maze by Sunblast 2020-10-07T13:57:04Z

@golden-gold I checked the download and could not see any issues, perhaps Google has some issues at the time? Should work fine now.

@guaranteedtrainwreck The white tiles represent light, as in there is a level above with a hole connection them, if you move the blocks to them it has an effect on the level above.

@humnyn I think I know where you got stuck, one of the last puzzles features a mechanic that is a little hidden :)

Lastly, thanks everyone for the feedback so far!

Chronos Time Warp by Zliebowitz 2020-10-14T14:51:16Z

I really liked your game! Felt very retro, just like when I used to play the old Zelda games.

Hackermon - Evil Edition by Le Don 2020-10-14T14:35:56Z

Cool idea of a game, though I feel like something is missing, but not really sure what. The graphics was nice, felt very much inspired by old good gameboy games, Pokemon perhaps? With some work this could be a really nice game!

Devoured by St1ckY 2020-10-15T16:59:21Z

The puzzles was a little too simple for my taste, but I really loved the mood of the game!

A Ghost with Alzheimer's by POBIX 2020-10-07T12:49:58Z

Nice game! My only complaint would be that the controls felt a little clunky. Keep up the hard work!

Bhoot && Toobh by pune007 2020-10-14T14:25:59Z

Nice game, although the music does not loop it was nice. Really liked the puzzles!

Lupi by JohnWayyyne 2020-10-14T14:00:44Z

Cool concept, the physics could use a little work though. Keep up the great work!

Lupi by JohnWayyyne 2020-10-15T12:48:20Z

@johnwayyyne I toke a look and I think it was the initial build that I played. I found some of the physics with clone to feel a little weird, for example if record a clone on top of the moveable box in level 3 (I think it was?) the clone just falls into the box. I also managed to get stuck in the wall once or twice.

That being said I like how forgiving jumping can be, like if you nearly make the ledge the game helps you a little to make it up, small details like these adds a lot of smoothness to the game!

Deathless Curse by BridgeOnAStick 2020-10-07T14:37:09Z

Fun game. The hitboxes felt a little punishing sometimes, but otherwise nice, keep it up!

Hoops Paradise by GuaranteedTrainwreck 2020-10-07T14:28:07Z

Good job on the game, it was a little confusing at the start but once you learn it was fine. The sound effects was great!

While we are here - stuck in a loop by Seskon 2020-10-14T13:50:45Z

A little confusing at first but great concept!

Resurrection by etrealjunior 2020-10-07T12:44:15Z

Good job on the game! Loved the mood of it.

Hotel Mobi by TheCreator 2020-10-07T14:20:54Z

Pretty cute game, really liked the mood and loved the music, only thing that annoyed me a little was the camera, the vision when going uphill was a little odd sometimes. Nice job on the game!

Aztec Ride by Idan Rooze 2020-10-14T15:18:16Z

Amazing game, the art style is great!

Dwarven Delve by fronwewq 2020-10-14T14:20:27Z

Nice game that is a twist on old genre. Perhaps though some kind of indicator or feedback that you cannot push a row/column would be nice. Good job on the game!

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Drill18^2 - This is Just a Drill by quill18 2021-05-02T15:25:02Z

Fun game, the learning curve was a little hard at first, a lot of information to take in. Great work on the game!

Alcheminer by Joror 2021-05-02T20:18:39Z

Awesome idea of a game. While the game was complex the tutorials helped a lot! Nice work!

Forgotten Spelunker by smilewood 2021-05-06T19:58:00Z

Nice game! Graphics looks really nice. Good job on the game!

The Squeaky Affair by bmacintosh 2021-05-04T21:22:58Z

I loved this game! The only small complaint I had would be the lighting, a little dark at times. Also the last level was pretty easy compared to those that came before it. Otherwise great game, I was a little sad when there was no more levels.

Kickstart Minecart by Elemental Zeal Game Studios 2021-05-02T15:31:18Z

Fun game with great graphics and well thought out gameplay. The grappling felt a little awkward at times, it was pretty easy to get stuck in the rails. Also once you fallen down a bit it was hard to get back up on the top. Otherwise a great game, keep it up!

Keke in the "Caves of Peril!" by Hempuli 2021-05-01T21:38:33Z

Great game, a little hard at times but fun. The mechanics feels clean and makes for good puzzles, as others mentioned already a undo would be nice as a bad move sometimes results in a restart. Would love to see more of it in the future!

Below Earth's Crust by LogFlames 2021-05-02T18:24:40Z

Nice game, the mood felt great and the graphics was really good. The movement also felt fluid. Like others said I wish there was more to do as you max out the upgrades pretty fast. Good job on the game!

Fathomless by SilkyPantsDan 2021-05-06T18:29:52Z

Really cool concept. I found the hitboxes to be a little unintuitive and punishing. The art looked amazing. Good work on the game!

Duggy by neowhoru 2021-05-06T17:45:41Z

Cute game. Movement was smooth, but I found the hitbox for the ranged attack to be a little annoying. Well done game!

ChronorhC by NikorasuChan 2021-05-06T17:40:03Z

Nice game, the controls was a little clunky but the mechanic is really cool. Good job!

Goldsweeper by Sunblast 2021-05-03T16:52:53Z

@herringbone-games Yeah I agree, when testing I did feel the game was pretty dull at time, I tried adding the chests and some other small things to spice it up a bit, but it could indeed still use some more work!

@bmacintosh I agree blank spaces is a little confusing, someway to distinguish would been ideal, but I could not really think of a good way. The reason I keep the numbers on dug out tiles is so the player don't dig into a mine by accident if all numbers around it had been dug out.

Lastly, thank you all for testing and rating so far!

[WebGL/HTML5] Who am I? by leorid 2021-05-06T16:54:29Z

Nice game with great mechanics! The puzzles felt well thought out and was fun. I really found the twist at the end funny. Great job!

Mined mines by Alexey Kuzovkov 2021-05-01T21:13:03Z

Hello fellow Minesweeper player! Pretty nice game, movement feels smooth and the graphics is nice. I however wish that there was a way to swap between digging and defusing (by shift key or something) or as two different keybinds.

6 Feet Under by theStoff 2021-05-06T18:10:01Z

Amazing game! Graphics and music is really good. The game was however really punishing, but once you got a feel for the controls it became really fun. Perhaps the early game could been made a little easier or having checkpoints in the longer levels would go a long game. I would love to see more of this!

The Depths (Ultimate Edition XXI) by sacredbacon 2021-05-02T19:35:44Z

Great job making a 3d platformer in just 48 hours. As others pointed out the camera angle feels a bit awkward and I also felt like the character was a bit floaty. Otherwise nice game, keep it up!

Also wanted to point I really liked the touch of including how some elements of the game was made, was fun to read!

Necro Digger by gnaro 2021-05-03T17:02:47Z

Nice and cute game! The game was a little easy but it was fun. Great job on your first Ludum Dare game!

Mycelisation by bereg 2021-05-06T19:13:28Z

Amazing game, did not expect to see a 4x game in Ludum Dare. Really loved the concept. My only complaint is that the level generation could be improved a bit, I had one game where zero rocks spawned. Good job on the game!

Deep Space Drill by Dorigami 2021-05-03T16:30:48Z

Fun game, I really liked the sound effects. I do however feel that the player should be on the bottom and face upwards, but that might just be my preferences perhaps. Great job on game!

The power of the deep by Tris250 2021-05-05T16:57:10Z

Fun game. I feel like it was a little too zoomed in though. The music was also nice!

Spectregram by blob 2021-05-03T17:15:26Z

Really good game with a cool idea, the graphics and sound is great! Felt a bit like a horror game in a way. I did however feel the lines on the screen hurt my eyes a little after a while.
