Good game, nice twist with health/energy parameter, but it would benefit from having a checkpoint or two. Otherwise it's getting pretty grindy.

The Branch by Poffle 2019-05-09T05:33:58Z ♥ 2

Linux player reporting in, the build works just fine.

The Day Of The Chosen by sahoskins1 2019-05-09T05:06:28Z ♥ 0

The game is pretty nice, but I think it would benefit from having a "Restart" button on the final screen. Sure, pressing Ctrl+R isn't alot of work, but it could easily be avoided.

Graphics and audio are great, and I'm always up to some indirect control games. But the robots' behaviour sometimes seemed counterintuitive. It would probably be better if their rules for choosing between multiple attractors were explained somewhere in the tutorial.

Looks decent, and you get bonus points for not making it in Unity (which lags on some low-end PCs). But I didn't find the actual gameplay funny.

Perfect Date by limbo 2019-05-07T13:06:01Z ♥ 1

Note to self: next LD, make a renpy game that consists entirely of jokes in menu screens while the "Game" itself is a single non-interactive scene.

Entity Manipulation by JCMonkey 2019-04-30T12:07:44Z ♥ 1

The only thing I wish there was in the game is hitpoints somehow being persistent between levels, roguelike-style. Otherwise the cost just doesn't matter until the latest level or two.

Diffraction by slimabob 2019-04-30T12:00:22Z ♥ 2

Linux build works alright.

Snek Farm by t3nshi 2019-04-30T06:18:59Z ♥ 2

That's really solid. I thought every possible variant of Snake has been made like in nineties, yet here you are.

Bartleby in Space by CarlsonAndPeeters 2019-04-30T05:44:42Z ♥ 1

@carlsonandpeeters Any chance of a native Linux build?

BOB by Phyro 2019-04-30T05:35:11Z ♥ 3

I liked the Reigns-style sequence of decisions, but it is pretty difficult to balance the variables you don't see, as @entirelybees mentioned above. Art and animation are great, though, and it's nice that you've made an Android build.

Venture-Out! by 64mega 2019-04-29T12:21:22Z ♥ 1

This is crazy awesome that someone makes a whole complete DOS game for LD. The art and sound are perfectly authentic, the gameplay loop is working fine, refreshing screens give just enough chance to grind while forcing you to finish a level in a single run. My favourite from LD44 so far.

Just one little issue: your dos-only distribution (the one without Dosbox) lacks `dos4gw.exe`.

Life for Likes by FM Studio 2019-04-29T12:01:08Z ♥ 1

I really like it. Mechanics, sounds, theme fit, all just really works together. And it's in Flash, so the game must run on a toaster.

Transfert by p0nce 2019-04-29T11:48:45Z ♥ 1

Graphics and audio are great, although it would probably be easier if I could see the ground.

Idle Idol by Daniel Moreno 2019-04-29T11:40:36Z ♥ 2

Usually the clickers are just about watching some number increment, but this one is also about making sure it doesn't increment too fast. That's a great idea, because it gives me the reason to actually play the game instead of just leaving it open and going for coffee or something. Graphics, sound and overall polish are top-notch. Like I couldn't find anything bad with those even if I wanted to.

That said, I felt it would be more interesting if there were two or three more variables to play with, like money, wood or some other resource. Just gradually updating stuff along a single axis starts feeling, I don't know, mechanical.

Pawn by jjhaggar 2019-04-29T06:52:30Z ♥ 0

Linux build crashes after the resolution selection window. The console output is as follows:

``` XXX@XXX-work ~/Downloads/pawn_linux $ ./pawn.x86 Set current directory to /home/XXX/Downloads/pawn_linux Found path: /home/XXX/Downloads/pawn_linux/pawn.x86 Mono path[0] = '/home/XXX/Downloads/pawn_linux/pawn_Data/Managed' Mono path[1] = '/home/XXX/Downloads/pawn_linux/pawn_Data/Mono' Mono config path = '/home/XXX/Downloads/pawn_linux/pawn_Data/Mono/etc' Preloaded 'ScreenSelector.so' Player data archive not found at `/home/XXX/Downloads/pawn_linux/pawn_Data/data.unity3d`, using local filesystem ```

As far as I know, it's just the default Unity spam.

ýÔïïÞ by esenti 2019-04-29T06:46:02Z ♥ 0

Nice image and nice idea with the text, but there is not much of an actual gameplay. I bought a few levels of every upgrade in about half a minute and... that's it? It's a game about watching a number tick?

ALIEN, e x p a n s i o n . by Jaxson Van Doorn 2019-04-29T06:25:10Z ♥ 0

Cool graphics and sounds, but I found the controls pretty weird. Is left/right rotation really inverted?

God's Life by YothamUukl 2019-04-29T06:17:11Z ♥ 1

Your link is broken. Also, you should probably provide links to Web/Windows/Linux versions, not just the source code.

Don't Kill My Cat by Local Minimum 2019-04-28T15:16:28Z ♥ 2

It's either a work of genius or utter bullshit, and I can't decide which.

Peckbuilding by maysick 2018-05-15T02:36:50Z ♥ 1

That's quite a cool little game, I'm surprised it's short of votes. Nice graphics BTW. Although there are some minor issues I'd like to note, mostly with clarity: * Resolution order is unclear. Both moves simultaneously then both actions? What if I push while enemy attacks 1 tile? These should be communicated rather than * Icons are hard to read * Are other islands (those not in the line) important? It looks like it's possible to jump to them, but I haven't found any cards to do so.

Oceanscapes by __init__.py 2018-05-06T05:25:54Z ♥ 1

Linux build works fine for me (64bit Linux Mint 17). I like the idea, but it really needs some QoL fixes. Showing both game screen and text console was mentioned already, and I would really appreciate some commonly used parser IF commands (ie `examine`/`x` for looking at stuff, `take`/`grab` as synonyms for `pick up`, `exit`/`quit` to end the game).

Roulette Knight by Finlal 2018-05-05T11:36:42Z ♥ 1

It's like you took the basic roguelike idea of strategically pushing your luck and thrown out all the unnecessary stuff like monsters and traps. And then made a good game from it. Damn well done.

Toodee and Topdee by voxel 2018-05-02T06:39:35Z ♥ 2

That's one of the games where you forget it's a jam project. The game isn't just smart, it's actually *polished*. Great work.

Paddle Pals by Mors 2018-05-01T09:02:08Z ♥ 0

Idea is just perfect, but man, is it difficult. Never thought I'd ever need to git gud at Arcanoid.

Rhythm Quest by achebit 2018-05-01T08:47:19Z ♥ 0

That's a damn good game, definitely in top two I've seen in this jam so far. Everything just works as it should.

Super Slime Slasher Ultra by sebastianscaini 2018-05-01T04:16:25Z ♥ 2

Does indeed work fine on Linux with optirun (Nvidia Optimus card). Voiceover is always a good thing to have, and you do have a nice VO. Although the sword direction isn't very readable on smaller resolution. Maybe if I just could see the mouse pointer? Or make the sword much bigger? Or some sort of overlay highlight element?

Medieval Comedy DefJam : Heckler Edition by kyperbelt 2018-05-01T04:00:48Z ♥ 1

Runs on linux just fine, but deckbuilding for the bald guy seems broken (buttons don't respond). The entire run log is [here](https://gist.github.com/SynedraAcus/25108f2e28016fce2445356e91cbf1a8). And I'm not sure I fully understood the rules: for example, what's the success chance and where it comes from?

Beat Street by solluxx 2018-05-01T03:37:17Z ♥ 1

A good idea, a good game, and definitely 5.0 on the theme. If you were to make it into an actually polished game, that would be pretty great. Runs like charm in Wine, by the way. However, it could do with some quality-of-life fixes:

* Is there a way to see the building's area of effect if it is already built? I mean, I could always hover a new one of the same type on the same cell, but that's additional hassle. * Maybe show which (empty) cells have water and electricity supplied? Little icons or something. That would make the point above redundant. * Some background beat would be nice. * Show which building's note is currently playing. It may be important for supply buildings.

But that's really picking. I would expect that stuff from Steam-level game (if you want to make one), not from a jam entry.

Roundabout: ~ Roguelike & Rythm ~ Trading Bard Game by Gustavo Manchae 2018-04-29T15:07:41Z ♥ 2

It's neat, but why don't goblins get to play some tune as well?

Mare Underworld by dearcj 2018-04-29T14:44:02Z ♥ 0

A nice game, but I found myself jumping randomly on the last level until it finally worked. Though it tells more about my chess skills than about the game, I guess.

Spatialsurf by Chronorealm Productions 2018-04-29T14:36:24Z ♥ 1

Doesn't launch under Wine on 64-bit Linux. A pity, screenshots look pretty cool.

Rogue Pawn by Arden 2018-04-26T07:04:37Z ♥ 2

Apparently chess-souls is [a genre now](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/mare-underworld)? I'm yet to play either one, but your graphics look pretty cool.

Dungeon Slider by justinooncx 2018-04-26T07:01:54Z ♥ 1

Neat mechanics, but IMO it's lacking some non-magic way to see the floor. Maybe just show what's under the missing tile? Also, I just had an issue on L4 that I see that a certain tile is sacred (via the looking glass), place the treasure there, but it's not collected upon exiting the level. Otherwise, a damn great puzzler.

Super Hyperspace Rythm Plus Ultra by Kichex 2018-04-25T12:17:22Z ♥ 0

Overall a good game, but for some reason it lags on 64-bit Linux under optirun. Although that could be some problem on my side.

Sleeping Titanium by Poorwill 2018-04-25T11:55:20Z ♥ 1

Just when I thought I'd go back to comments and make an electric sheep joke, I noticed it's an actual item to be purchased within a game. Nice overall, but I was missing some clear way to see how much energy do my sheeps/rabbits/chickens produce, how much more I'll get from upgrades and how much I'll gain by matching tiles.

Heaven and Earth by Guy Withivy 2018-04-25T11:45:02Z ♥ 1

Good background music and very good art. Sound effects are annoying, though, and it doesn't really have two different genres in it. A nice game overall, and it's especially good to finally play something that's not about combat.

Flappy Blocks by Radical Dog 2018-04-24T12:54:29Z ♥ 1

And you were commenting on **my** weird-control-tetris being too difficult. Anyway, of two Flappy Tetrises in this compo yours is the better one. Five stars out of five.

Infernoculus by icxon 2018-04-24T12:51:59Z ♥ 1

Absolutely great game. I take it HoMM III was an inspiration? Unit design and random map obstacles definitely remind me of something. Though honestly I doubt there is a single russian for whom it wasn't:) Anyway, just slap the KO condition or maybe a way to respawn players and you sure get my money on Steam.
