Faith Keeper by Emkani 2020-04-21T12:13:34Z

Impressive 3D graphics ! The shadows look great, but the bloom effect needs to be adjusted indeed. The difficulty looks a bit too low, I think you can reduce the amount of items spawned by 2 or 3 times. After playing 10 minutes, it looks like I can beat every wave without taking care.

msedge_2020-04-21_14-08-20.png Is that enough faith for you ?

The concept of first person tower defense with items put on "towers" directly is very innovative, I see a lot of potential. Great work !

Nice graphics and sound/music ! Very energetic, I love it. I also love gamepad controls. A jump button would have been a very nice addition. I found the game to be a bit hard, these blue balls are doing a mess with me.

Seafood by fatPenguin 2020-04-25T15:29:06Z

I could not beat level 3, the little fish stop spawning when they were eaten by the big ones. Otherwise a lovely game with cute graphics. Maybe the gameplay is a bit too simplistic

Dr. Noir by UnidayStudio 2020-04-20T23:55:14Z

The side effects are so frustrating, especially the controls swap ! Great graphics and ambiance, good job

Dunkegg by Luke Perkin 2020-04-21T20:09:48Z

Best game of the jam I played so far. Great idea, great resolution. I hope one day to reach this level. Bravo !

Mutiny by Cataractar 2020-04-21T11:48:11Z

Yeah, pirates !

I knew I won when I engaged the woman, whose name is apparently "John" ? Not judging here, but it helps a lot for the moral of the crew !

I love the childish graphics and the mechanics work, the game looks balanced. Of course, pirate music and sound effects would have made it 3x better, but not anyone has the time and skills to add sound design to their game. Good job anyway, it was fun !

Finding Sam by nolanfa 2020-04-21T11:30:14Z

I really like the drawings, props to the artist. Unfortunately I went into many bugs with the web version, like messages not scrolling, and the "down arrow" button clicking the passed out guy #1 behind the dialog box and mixing up the dialogs a lot. This made it really difficult to follow the story, which is already deliberately confusing. Would be much better with another day of bugfix !

Soul Blazer by Lukas TAMAYO 2020-04-21T01:37:02Z

What an interesting concept ! A bit confusing at first, but when you understand that fire goes from one finger to another, it clicks ! I went until the pentagram with the human parts, then I am stuck. I don't know if it is a bug or not, but the camera is very close at the end and I need to raise 3 fingers to get some light. This makes the game quite difficult ! Anyway, love the concept and atmosphere. Music stops to play after a while, you may want to add a loop to avoid the windy silence :) Well done !

The Siege of Yggdrasil by rohezal 2020-04-21T13:08:59Z

Impressive what you can do with 3D graphics in 72 hours today !

You manage to do something obviously too ambitious actually fun to play. I play for half an hour but did not manage to destroy the Hel crystal. Wolves stop to spawn when I surround it but it teleports everytime I want to hit it, and there is not enough wood on the map to isolate every spawn point I think...

ld46-Win64-Shipping_2020-04-21_14-54-19.jpg

This was my master plan, build a wood tunnel between Yggdrasil and Hel crystal. Was I supposed to do this ? IDK, but it was fun :) Well done !

JamIt by jrf 2020-04-21T14:54:59Z

Okay so it's a dude only party ! Not sure if it fits the them then :p My party ended at 2AM with mood at max, did I win ? Not clear what I'm supposed to do when no more drinks and food

Outlet Hero by Omicron 2020-04-21T16:49:26Z

Wow, incredible result ! I did not expect the level to be that long, with a final boss and explosion and all :) That was very fun to play, a bit too easy as others already said. I love the graphics, it reminds me of old Windows 95 games. I don't know how you manage to create this gigantic level in 72 hours, you must have some kind of level editor I guess. The boss model details was very impressive too. Potential bugs I notice: the plugs don't like vertical slopes and get stuck easily, the ennemy attacks the machine but it looks like it is invincible ?

Lone Settler by Poupi 2020-04-21T13:52:44Z

Ha, I finally managed to win after 5 tries ! Did not notice that "too cold" was "not cool".

I had fun, I like the lonely ambiance and the meteors are really cool. Very nice graphics and discreet but efficient sound design. My only complaint would be the choice of controls which feel weird, like the way you switch to use/build actions is mapped to vertical axis of the stick ?

Lone Settler by Poupi 2020-04-22T10:17:34Z

@poupi I think it should not be necessary to "switch mode" to be able to interact, you could put all the possible actions on the same menu, and have a single interaction button. On my first game, this switch action was confusing, I thought there was a bug.

Frozen Skies by ThorPalsson 2020-04-21T17:26:29Z

Nice visuals and atmosphere. I played for 20 minutes but ended up stuck because I used all the wood to keep the fire alive, and could not build the bridges to go further. Going back and forth from exploration to campfire was a bit boring after some time, especially because our lizard is soooo slow. I don't know if you are able to build another campfire to further explore, maybe it is after the bridge I could not build.

Bébert and Gertrude against the Aliens by SylvainPV 2020-04-22T10:08:53Z

@lucecyl actually carrots heal Bébert a bit ! You just need a lot of them to get it back to full health :)

Bébert and Gertrude against the Aliens by SylvainPV 2020-04-23T18:09:36Z

@syudzius thanks ! You may prefer the arrow keys or a gamepad to control your character, it's a bit easier. Best advice I can give you to survive longer is to always control Bebert position. Make sure it is always close to the center and close to you, using carrots and kicks in the butt if needed !

Bébert and Gertrude against the Aliens by SylvainPV 2020-04-24T20:15:47Z

Sorry for people stuck on loading screen. I cannot reproduce the bug unfortunately, my only advice is to use an up-to-date web browser and be patient :( I tried to compress the images further to save a few MB.

@angel-w actually there is some music ^^ probably too quiet compared to the sound effects, Vincent is louder than Romain

@jorim I hesitated because Fabien worked on many graphical assets during the jam and I thought he deserved to have a rating for that, despite we used external sprites. But he is okay to remove the graphics rating so I did remove it. Props to him !

@popo3744 @kfischer-okarin thanks, but it's our first Ludum Dare, not our first gamejam :)

Bébert and Gertrude against the Aliens by SylvainPV 2020-04-26T22:07:59Z

@fatpenguin thanks for the feedback. Kick is the best action to make Bebert move when you are out of carrots. Also, kicking monsters has 2x knockback and less animation lag than stick attack, but has a lower range as a drawback. Upgrading boots makes kicking knockback even stronger.

Las by ahanabunozor 2020-04-21T00:23:29Z

Nice atmosphere, but a relaxing music could be a plus ! Also the difficulty is very high at the beginning and gets easier at the end when you get all the stuff. I guess you needed more time to add other events.

Imagine by AndreiOlenic 2020-04-21T14:50:17Z

I made it to level 4, but the game is a bit too fast for me. I did not find a way to heal yourself, it could be a nice addition. Also, moving Teddy to the center so that it can be attacked from different sides would make the game more interesting I think.

My Mother is a Caravan? by Gideonnf 2020-04-21T01:14:52Z

The pixel art is lovely, congrats to the artist ! The game looks quite complete, a bit too hard for me (I died 3 times after the third level). I found traders but no one to sell the items I trade, I probably must go further in the game. Is there any procedural generation for the dungeons ? That's impressive for 72 hours of work.

J'ai Froid by Delapaix 2020-04-25T15:14:29Z

Technically interesting with these pixelated shaders, unfortunately too short and not finished to be a game.

Unknown Events by Tomskiev 2020-04-21T00:29:33Z

The instructions are not clear, I did not know what to do when the astroid event happens. Also the graphics are bare minimum, my character won't even change direction contrary to the screenshot you posted. The game over screen loops with an annoying sound effect. It needs more work, but congratulations anyway for releasing it before the deadline :)

Lettuce Be Friends by YaakGold 2020-04-21T00:39:10Z

I followed the tutorial (appreciated!) but I went into a bug that prevented me to play further: the first wild slime I captured was stuck behind the cages after I hit it with my staff, I could not pick it up of feed it. Too bad, the graphics are a strange mix but look cute overall
