LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Chickenator by clemall 2022-04-11T15:59:24Z

Very fun clicker game ! loved the idea and the sprites looks very neat. The only thing missing is some nice juicy sound and a nice track. good work ! :)

Apartheid by Jungle 2022-04-04T16:47:53Z

The art is just gorgeous ! The gameplay is pretty simple but it serve the story very well.

I had a little display issue on my macbook. The texts were very small & hard to read & I wasn't able to click the choices. Probably a UI scaling issue since macbooks have weird resolutions. maybe try scaling your canvas with screen size ?) But it displayed & played smoothly on PC.

Appart from that very nice & impressive for a compo. Great work ! :)

Rude Bear Restart by alexrose 2022-04-07T20:56:14Z

Nice game. the puzzles where a bit simple but it do the job for a jam. Loved the sound track :)

good job

Flooded Caves by nusan 2022-04-08T19:06:34Z

Very neat game ! Perfect fit for the theme. very simple & addictive gameplay. well done !

Cyber Revolution 2789 by godsboss 2022-04-04T19:16:25Z

Cool Concept ! the visuals are very nice !

Some feedbacks: The bombs make the game very easy & spawn a lot (you can basically make the game last forever). maybe make them less current or remove tem all together. There's no scoring. That made me loose interest kinda fast since there's no challenge to reach a high score. The use of action where not clear at first. took me a while to figure out I had to click the action then the character then the action again. (that's also a lot o click for 1 action, maybe make it a drag an drop ?)

Appart from that, that's a pretty cool game. With some balencing, a sound track & some twick here & there it could become very fun ;)

Rectangular Hell by ccglp 2022-04-05T19:44:01Z

Nice Game ! The slow time before parry is a nice touch :) Love the FX on the special bullets. cheers :)

Perseverance by ql28 2022-04-05T13:45:55Z

Guardian Angel by blockerz 2022-04-06T18:26:55Z

Slither And Fire by J0ye 2022-04-05T15:16:20Z

It ain't much but It's honest work ! :) It plays well. It's juicy & nervous. I liked it :) Good work !

Rocket Lawnchair by jitspoe 2022-04-05T14:53:38Z

Hilarious game !

Run into a small issue : couldn't register more that 2 key press at a time (but it's an old keyboard, worked on my more recent laptop)

Great work :)

ENTROPY by LarsDu 2022-04-05T15:33:01Z

Nice game ! Last level was reallllyy hard but the difficlutly ramp up is well balanced. good work :)

Astral Abyss by Alexascher 2022-04-06T13:30:24Z

Oh my !... That was beautiful !! The merging and all the fiddrent mechanism coming out of it is so satisfying. the visuals& the whole ambiance are stunning. The music fit perfectly. & you even managed to pull off achievements (which i am a total sucker for) this is my fav from this jam so far... by far

You guys did an incredible works. cheers <3

Seed Of Time by theStoff 2022-04-05T19:09:27Z

This is incredibly polished for a jam game! You guys did an amazing work ! The art is beautiful, the controls are very responsive & precise & the level design is good & challenging. Great work :)

Extremely Exteme Sports by kuviman 2022-04-05T18:40:03Z

Really fun game ! I had a blast playing. cheers :)

Catch the corrupt by Gonzo13 2022-04-05T12:28:29Z

Nice game ! looks really neat. the gameplay is really simple but engaging.

Found a little bug. if you spam space on a door you'll get out of synch with the floor and won't be able to gather papers anymore. Also ended up on a blank screen after teh 4th leve (not sure if it's the end game or a bug :/ )

papart from that pretty cool game. Good job :)

If you try hard enough, you can win. by Rxbbie 2022-04-04T18:04:34Z

Very nervous, very juicy, very fun ! For a little while I actually believed I could hold them off since you loot very fast and you basically turn into a walking turret XD But I eventualy became completeley overwhelmed by the number of ennemies. Great work :)

Carpe Diem by Pomo 2022-04-05T17:33:55Z

Really Hard but Really fun game ! Didn't get even close to the leaderboard but kept retrying :) great work :)

Anomalous by HolySparks 2022-04-04T18:19:31Z

Really cool game ! Loved the idea of using the weapons in a different way than usual. the visual are neat, the level is big enough the difficulty is just hard enough to be challenging & not too frustrating. The only thing missing is music :) Overall, a pretty solid & fun game for 48h ! Great work :)

The Third Age by szym 2022-04-06T18:15:50Z

@blockerz @sdelay @alexascher @bauke-regnerus Thank you all for your feedbacks. It's much appreciated :smiley:

I indeed had most of that in mind. Stats on hover, more residents sprites, some juicy particles for when you fulfill a need & much more (a bit overscoped for 48h ^^)

I'm already implementing most of it & will release a post-jam update.

Thanks a lot for playing :heart:

Try to Die of Old Age by Dennis Magnusson 2022-04-04T14:12:23Z

Nice game ! Really liked the humor ^^ The player movements are a bit zippy and take some getting used to but appart from that it's pretty fun :) Good job !

Pooh-Pooh by d00kl1 2022-04-05T15:09:11Z

Liked the idea. It's pretty fun.

Really hard though could hardly get past the second screen since travelers kept spawning right on top of me & I had no time to dodge. The game could use some checkpoints or a quick retry button.

appart from that it's a pretty fun game. good job :)

SandCastle by sdelay 2022-04-06T18:53:50Z

Nice game ! the visuals are lovely ! the gameplay is simple & fit the theme nicely.

Ran into a little display issue on mac (seems fine on windows).

Screenshot 2022-04-06 at 20.50.48.png

But appart from that, pretty solid little game. good work :)

That One Time I Woke Up and Saw Vines Outside My Window by Nonnen 2022-04-04T17:43:10Z

Nice little game. Liked your character sprite :) The growing vines makes for a very interesting threat. a bit unpredictable (in a good way) that add some tension.

Some pointers: The art is a bit uneven. if you put oulines on your character there should some too on the rest of the assets so that it looks coherent. Some of the elements/ platforms kinda blended with the background making it a bit confusing on where to go/jump at first; It can be easily fixed by adding oulines on what is interractable/solid (platforms, vines, walls) and leave the background without or with thiner/lighter oulines.

appart from that, It's a very nice & cute jam game. Good work :)

Over the Rainbow Bridge by Iguanana 2022-04-04T02:18:43Z

Very simple but very pretty ! Loved the art and the palette choice

Cold and Alone by David York 2022-04-04T20:52:25Z

I want more please !!!!

Absolutly love the concept. It works great with the theme. There's a good level of stress & urgency to gather the necessary resources to stay alive. Each upgrade feels like life or death.

The rover controls are a bit hard to get used to but overall efficient (might be more intuitive with a joystick ?) I felt like the difficulty ramp up could have been a bit faster (a bit too easy to my taste) but that more a matter of taste. It's missing some nice soundtrack to complement the game (but understandable since it's compo)

I felt kinda sad when I finished all the upgrades, which is a good thing because i wanted more (seriously.. more please <3)

If you decide to iterate on the game after the jam (please do) a few pointers for inspiration: -controller support -don't add a minimap (some people might complain but it's actually a good thing, it add some struggle & stress to remember/forget what is where) -more ressources that you unlock / need as you move further (exactly what you did with the crystal) -a cool soundtrack

Seriously. You did an amazing work. I could see myself buying a fully developped version of that game. Cheers !

Spiraland by A Chill Lemur 2022-04-07T01:32:58Z

Loved The level appearing as a transition. very neat :)

Life of the Only Rational Scientist by uik 2022-04-04T17:17:28Z

Cool concept ! It fit the theme very well. The music compliment the ambiance nicely & the art work is really cool looking <3

Wish it could be a little longer. Most of the choices were pretty straight forward making the game very easy (Naked android in the street? nothing unusual here ! you may proceed ! XD)

If you plan to iterate on this game, I would suggest adding an exposition level that fill up and lead to game over if you're too careless in your actions / decisions & make the choices more ambiguous (more greys, less black & white) & maybe add a third or even fourth option to every decision to make it a bit more tricky ?

Appart from that, pretty solid jam game & fun to go through. Good work ! :)

MooshiMooshi by AnonymousPanda 2022-04-05T13:29:23Z

Pretty cool for a first game ! Nice job :)
