LD39 — Running out of Power

The Hunt by Kappa.B 2017-08-03T16:30:10Z

Really nice graphics and audio, the basic gameplay loop is a bit simplistic but it works well for a jam game, congrats

Rat Hole City by MrChippy 2017-08-01T18:48:38Z

Game is really cool, actually pretty spooky when you start being chased and the song changes, the art style really works well, congrats.

One In the Chamber, One In the Socket by notApollogising 2017-08-01T18:40:43Z

2017-08-01 (2).png Fun game, very reminiscent of hotline miami, the addition of limited ammo made for some really cool levels, only complaint is the time between shots is a bit too long but I'm sure you had a good reason for it, congrats

Flicker by roaderful 2017-08-01T22:34:43Z

Nice noir style, the atmsphere is pretty great, I didn't see the puzzles going anywhere but it turned out really well, congrats.

LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Crunch Time by gelisam 2017-12-10T01:20:05Z

Really good puzzle game by the way, took me a while to figure it out but once I had, very good. I think the reason why it took so long to work out was because the text is the same for one of the boxes on the first level as in the code complete, but that kinda made it more gratifying when you realise it.

unrogue by dunin 2017-12-17T17:07:23Z

Really nice idea, very simple, executed very well. Could've used with more incentive to go into the dungeon. Good job though.

Famous Knight by Lucas Ferrantelli 2017-12-17T16:58:32Z

Really fun game, well done. If you were wondering what the game @weeping-rupee was referring to, I believe it is called "Super Cop Hero" https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/$66055 . Interesting how you used the same idea for the theme and ended up with such different games. Good job!

SUPER COP HERO by Finlal 2017-12-05T14:08:36Z

Super fun game, nice graphic, art etc. It was quite difficult to reload during a fight but that kinda made it more tense

Crunchtime, the revenge of feature creep: mo' monay mo' problems. by soldierbear 2017-12-09T00:45:20Z

Thanks @fluidvolt I thought we'd fixed that bug but I guess not. Also the game could've definitely used more polish and balancing. Thanks again!

Crunchtime, the revenge of feature creep: mo' monay mo' problems. by soldierbear 2017-12-09T00:51:21Z

@fluidvolt Actually its a new bug to do with slapping people so much they leave, you monster. Thanks for the debug though

Crunchtime, the revenge of feature creep: mo' monay mo' problems. by soldierbear 2017-12-10T01:20:50Z

@michaelsonbritt Basically our money system in Revenge of Feature Creep is linked to the review score, you get 1 star for a completely finished game and the rest is from the ideas that get through. If an idea is bad (or in a different genre and risky) then you lose score, if you have risky ideas (or good in a different genre) then there is a 50/50 chance it count as very good or bad, and a good idea in your chosen genre increases your score. That is our in depth tips and tricks. Also your game is really good.

Crunchtime, the revenge of feature creep: mo' monay mo' problems. by soldierbear 2017-12-10T12:45:54Z

@michaelsonbritt That certainly sounds like a bug, thanks for point it out!

Crunchtime, the revenge of feature creep: mo' monay mo' problems. by soldierbear 2017-12-10T19:33:31Z

@juancarlosgdm Thank you for the feedback. I think I've identified the problem with the three employees, thank you for pointing that out.

Cave of Duty by Zielon 2017-12-05T23:09:42Z

Great game, music and art work so well, reminds me of a game I saw from Ludum Dare 33 "The Mammoth: A Cave Painting". Good Job

Digit Attack by pomb 2017-12-05T22:40:31Z

Folder was missing Unity.dll, managed to run it by copying one in

METAL SPACE by gui83140 2017-12-05T22:55:56Z

Fun over the top SHMUP, nice graphics and sound. WASD didn't seem to work properly for me though but arrow keys were fine, also says "You loose" instead of "You lose" but thats nit picking, good job!

LD42 — Running out of space

Claude Van Clamme Presents: Agent Poing P.N.Guin's Terrible Penguin Panic by The Enigma 2018-08-18T16:01:23Z

Hi @team-infernus, did you try using the RMB to increase your speed?

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

Sacrifices Must Be Made by danman9914 2018-12-05T12:23:01Z

This game was amazing the mood was incredible as was the art and the card game itself. I did find a bug where if you choose to put down the warren and then deselect it without putting it down or sacrificing anything you get the rabbits anyway. I may have used that to cheese my way to victory.

Amphora delivery by TomΓ‘Ε‘ Selmeci 2018-12-05T11:42:00Z

Great art and audio, but I think the enemy attack pattern never warranted use of the amphoras if you are patient enough

LD44 — Your life is currency

ChemisTree by tthe 2019-05-01T15:42:37Z

This was fun, good job! Sadly it crashes when I try to play on "Impossible" making the difficulty truly impossible. But the rest was good, congratulations.

Claude Van Clam Presents: The Retail Zone by David Mason 2019-04-30T21:04:12Z

@soldierbear oi oi

Styx It To The Man by frostdragonliz 2019-05-01T15:26:04Z

Good job, really visually impressive. Minor comments the retire button didn't work (I guess it was just there for a goal post) and the shop did not open when I pressed enter either.

LD45 — Start with nothing

A Platfomer by ZenriS 2019-10-11T14:19:47Z

I found you can just place the spawner inside the end goal, so thats what I did

Never Ending Entropy by CodeKoto 2019-10-08T21:19:01Z

I can't find the download link on the itch page

It may be your story by Keseril 2019-10-10T20:40:13Z

Congrats on your first game, the platforming was quite fun and it looked very good. I think the text colour could've been a bit more consistent at telling you what will happen when you hit it, there are a few jumps that are a bit fiddly so disrupt the flow of the game (e.g. proficiency) and some of the game design ideas went on for a little too long or were repeated too often. Overall good job, I hope you continue to make games.

LD46 — Keep it alive

Package Panic: Always On Time by soldierbear 2020-04-21T18:50:39Z

first

LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Epoch by Fictions 2020-10-13T20:09:25Z

Interesting idea, its pretty fun. I love the art and the voice acting. For some reason when I first played it I didn't realise there was a jump key so I spent quite a while trying to do the first level. The fact that you couldn't rearrange the objects without completely resetting the level was in that case quite annoying because it meant that despite having a "solution" much of the problem was guessing in what had to go where instead of being able to fix any slight errors. (TLDR I'm an idiot but rearranging the room without resetting would be useful if you're going to continue the game). Once I did realise you could jump, because of the floaty-ness of the jump it perhaps made the levels too easy, you could get across by using a small number of the most useful objects and stacking the rest next to the start location. Although the jump does offset the difficulties mentioned with not being able to edit the level. Obviously its a jam game so its not expected to be super complete and polished, and you do a really good job of what you did make and it was a lot of fun, so good job.

TimeSplitters 4 by BlueCalx 2020-10-08T22:15:12Z

Really interesting puzzle concept and very well executed. I feel like being able to step backwards in time as well as forwards would be useful because the puzzles are so punishing even making a small mistake means you often have to skip through an entire loop, but obviously its very well done for a jam.

Its time to split!

Populatio by FabDynamic 2020-10-09T21:42:46Z

Really cool concept, although it was infuriating to have so little control when you did miss, which I guess is the point. I did notice in the second level I didn't even have to move to win, which was quite cool. It was nice just watching the planets follow their paths. Good job!

The Little Perpetual Errand Boy by Bocchi-dev 2020-10-18T17:49:15Z

Good job with the game! One small comment, if you leave the castle from the inside by going left you should end up on the left side of it outside.

T.A.P.E. Acquiring Proof Expertly by p-brighenti 2020-10-19T21:53:48Z

Congrats on finishing the jam, its a really interesting idea and its well executed. I wish there was a button to repeat just the audio loop though...

Parallel Spin by perpetuaReality 2020-10-05T21:35:34Z

Interesting concept and well executed. Unfortunately it appears that if you press space to swap directions it resets the game. Was this intentional?

Parallel Spin by perpetuaReality 2020-10-05T22:09:46Z

@perpetuareality After checking again, if you start the game by pressing space it works as intended but if you click on the start button with the mouse it resets if you then press space in the game

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Dino Digger by dankar 2021-04-30T23:02:15Z

Fun puzzle game with a cool theme, good job. Interested to know where you see yourself taking this. Small note: I think there may be a bug where you may be able to move two of the big 2x1 blocks into each other.

Chess Hellevator by BoxedMeatRevolution 2021-05-03T16:15:34Z

Some really cool puzzles, good job.

The Quantum Menace by freamdev 2021-05-03T16:14:08Z

It was an interesting game, I liked the theme but I think the backgrounds could've used more variation and there maybe should be an indicator to show when something is reloading, but overall its good and those things aren't necessary in a jam game.

Space Mining by Krapht 2021-04-30T22:56:41Z

Simple game but worked well. The music really helped the atmosphere, although I never really felt I was in danger because other than a few tight corridors you could use the jetpack to stay above the enemies - consider limiting the amount you can use? Good job overall.

LD49 — Unstable

Human Resources by lauchsuppe 2021-10-09T11:14:40Z

Interesting take on the theme and well implemented. Good job. I did find that the towers rarely had to be stable which favoured building in an unsustainable way, particularly on the last level where you didn't need to have anything underneath the owl things. Overall fun game with really cool art and a good sense of humour.

The Penguins Below by michaelaranda 2021-10-06T20:01:22Z

Super neat game. Love the cartoony graphics and it fits the theme really well. Good job!

The addition of the box adds so much to it as well, that is a galaxy brain move.

Toy Tactics by JoeShanahan 2021-10-06T19:30:51Z

Good job. Really nice job on the models. Messing around with the physics is pretty fun. On the second level the red guy will kill himself if you just stand underneath.

Crazy Potion by zapdos2 2021-10-06T20:14:10Z

Congrats on completing your game. It is a neat idea, if you were to continue this I think it would benefit from reducing the timer and adding some additional element of strategy and adding more interesting AI for the melee guy. Its fun

Proton Pilferer vs. The Particle Police by Skyward4d 2021-10-06T20:32:39Z

But where does the mass of the proton come from?

LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Shades of Deception by AMastryukov 2022-04-13T22:57:45Z

Super impressive work (particularly the puns). I think the cursor doesn't always lock in properly after you exit the journal leading to the camera being fixed in a particular version in the web version. The writing, audio, mood and graphics are all amazing. Since the game is good enough to warrant a more critical eye I would say that it never felt obvious which items in the interrogation were relevant and questioning a person about the wrong items several times in a row broke my immersion a little. Not being able to make mistakes also removes any tension the game had, but the atmosphere built was more than enough to keep me interested. Really good job

ESCAPE VELOCITY by Quackqack 2022-04-08T20:55:39Z

This is really well done. The mood was especially good, the graphics and audio made a really tense atmosphere. Gameplay wise I never really felt the larger missiles were worthwhile but the gameplay loop was fun. Congrats

A Ship Out of Time by deighta 2022-04-17T17:51:36Z

This was a really neat jam game with perfect scope. I feel like the early game was let down by the ships initial speed, there was a few times when I couldn't move the ship out of the way of the initial enemy wave and died straight away before I could warp or move out the way. Otherwise this was fun, good job.

I really like the art and sound, really helps make a great atmosphere. Controlling on keyboard was a little difficult at times, but its fun anyway. Good job!

CVC Presents: A Button by The Enigma 2022-10-17T20:34:04Z

@stingby12 this guy gets it

Tower of the Dice God by Skyward4d 2022-10-16T16:14:12Z

Fun game! I had to keep playing to see the different upgrades and only stopped when I fell off the map. Dice2.png

I feel like it would've been improved if it was top down, especially since the jump was little buggy. Still a fun game. Good job!

LD52 — Harvest

MONDO LABS by cannibalgirl 2023-01-22T23:10:27Z

Fun game! I wish I had more time on the levels and more information to better optimise the factories. I did notice a few times when trying to place or delete an object it selected the wrong tile, and once or twice the level intro text did not load (so I couldn't see what was after the final showdown). But it was a really neat concept very well executed. Good job!

LD53 — Delivery

Astra Delivery by LTyrosine 2023-05-14T23:53:21Z

This is a super impressive entry, its gorgeous and does so much for a jam game. Congrats.

Express Stork Delivery by AlexClay 2023-05-14T23:26:29Z

I love the 2d/3d pixel art style, its very neat. Congrats

Toad Pizza Express by Nazorus 2023-05-15T00:02:51Z

Interesting art style and very neat gameplay although the keyboard controls are a little awkward. Congrats on the entry

B.H.M.D.S. by Christian Zommerfelds 2023-05-14T23:45:18Z

Really like the gravity simulation and the theming, super cool. Congrats

The living deadlivery by Stingby12 2023-05-14T23:13:39Z

Love the scanline art style, works very well here because the simple graphics are still very readable, the idea is really cool as well, interesting twist on the sokoban formula, congrats!

LD54 — Limited Space

Limited Space Under Press by asfdfdfd 2023-10-10T19:56:43Z

Congrats, getting a rhythm game is difficult especially in a short time frame but this was fun and looked really neat. Well done!

how you use it by ThaProfesional 2023-10-15T22:00:18Z

That was a really neat physics based fighting game, I love the idea of having a giant sword and it worked really well. I wasn't a huge fan of the level where you are surrounded as I felt getting out of the initial danger felt a bit too much luck based, but there was a nice ramp in difficulty and the different levels were each interesting in their own way. My only other complaint would be the victory noise replaying constantly (I had this on the last level), but obviously its a game jam and there will be things overlooked. Overall, good job!

I Do by Togis 2023-10-10T21:11:27Z

This was fun. Graphics reminded me of prison architect. The situations were funny, and we enjoyed the chats down the side. Good job!

Rocket of Sand by Paul-Maxime 2023-10-15T22:15:14Z

This was so cool and really impressive for a jam game. My only comment would be that an ingame description of what the different things do would be good and a more data on exactly how what each new drill and factory will add. But these are small things and its a game jam. Really good job overall.

SpaceRaft by Bytomancer 2023-10-10T19:50:18Z

This is a really impressive entry. The only comment I can think of is it could do with more description of how each time interacts, but of course this is a game jam and you don't always get time for these things. Good job!

Unlimited Space Shawarma by SID37 2023-10-10T20:26:45Z

This game was incredibly impressive, particularly for a jam. I had a slight issue where the view would slowly spin. But very well done over all!

Project Minima by BlueDandelion 2023-10-10T20:34:44Z

Solid entry. Reminded me of VVVVVV. Good job!

Oort's Orbital Postal Service by QGDev 2023-10-10T21:36:54Z

Neat graphics and workable controls for a space game. There was a slight problem where if I left the spacecraft the camera would jump back to the origin. Good job overall!

Laboratory of Doom by Constance 2023-10-10T20:08:54Z

This was a neat little game for a game jam, it had really nice atmosphere. The pathing on the enemies was a little broken as they couldn't go through doors if you stood at the right level and you could still shoot. But these things are understandable with game jams. Good job!

Puss In Box by iron_head 2023-10-10T21:41:32Z

This was a fun game. Great game I'm a terrible player. Love the boxing cat. 10/10

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Daunting Dungeon by Jiri_One 2018-04-24T17:33:09Z

Nice atmosphere, very clean art style, good music. Very fun to line up the enemies and shoot them all down. Had some issues with resolution scaling - I couldn't see the ammo counter when it wasn't in full screen. Occasionally enemies would spawn on a tile I was moving onto. Really nice clean design though - could've had more variation - its really cool to have the trade off between moving around and being backed into corners and using your ammo as efficiently as possible. Overall really fun well polished game! Good job!

Torn by IgorsGames 2018-04-24T23:01:40Z

Amazing atmosphere, cool music and graphics - I really like the art style. Can get very tense at times and the story was interesting. Strong gameplay. Good job!

Broken Space Fish Shooter by ooku 2018-04-24T12:55:37Z

Interesting game. Fun playing around with the settings to try to optimise your controls, and its cool that you can still optimise the way you play around that. Works with the theme well. Scary as hell when the giant swarm of enemies drops in. Good job!

If your interested in seeing how people play the game: my high score was 40 and my settings were BorkenGame.png

Claude Van Clam Presents: Roberto Fishermun's Horrific Fishing Adventure 2019 by The Enigma 2018-04-24T13:11:27Z

@code-dream Thanks! I remember playing Gold Taxi for LD 40, I'll be sure to check out your new game as well!

Claude Van Clam Presents: Roberto Fishermun's Horrific Fishing Adventure 2019 by The Enigma 2018-04-24T18:12:37Z

@yatan This is a bug we are aware of, it only happens when you hold down a button and then press 'a' or 'd'. It should be solved by clicking on the ground. Thanks for the comment.

Claude Van Clam Presents: Roberto Fishermun's Horrific Fishing Adventure 2019 by The Enigma 2018-04-24T22:54:52Z

Hi @boblova, the two genres are tower defense and fishing. During the fight phase you can go to the beach (at your trusty blanket), press space and fish. I hope you give it another go. Thanks for commenting!

Claude Van Clam Presents: Roberto Fishermun's Horrific Fishing Adventure 2019 by The Enigma 2018-04-24T23:54:51Z

@gamebuilder Thanks for the comment! Can you remember any other specifics of the bug? If not thats fine, thanks for playing!

Claude Van Clam Presents: Roberto Fishermun's Horrific Fishing Adventure 2019 by The Enigma 2018-04-25T00:24:36Z

@gamebuilder Thanks again! I will look into this. It might be that one of the zombies was targeting the turret at the top and spawned near the top so ended up walking above the bush collider so couldn't get shot or get into the main level, that's my conspiracy theory. This is very helpful!

Claude Van Clam Presents: Roberto Fishermun's Horrific Fishing Adventure 2019 by The Enigma 2018-04-25T00:57:13Z

@gamebuilder That's exactly what happened. Thanks for breaking our game for us, really helps!

Stuck.JPG

Highway Trouble by Code Dream 2018-04-24T19:34:35Z

Nice relaxing game. The music was really good and graphics were excellent. The AI was really cool to watch and the variation in car types was cool to see. Because of the acceleration if you play to about 300 the background scenery goes kinda crazy. As mentioned by some of the other commentors, collisions when you come back to the were kinda off. I like how the car starts flying when you start the minigame. Good job.

Flayer & Puck by Blix 2018-04-24T19:54:07Z

This game is super cool. The atmosphere, graphics and choice of games to go with the ice hockey was amazing. The physics were kinda weird on the breakout level, but other than that I had no problems. Well done!

Jump & Cards by Beh 2018-04-24T11:29:13Z

Cool idea and well implemented! Good job! I think the spikes after the first jump might be a little tricky for new people (or people who are bad like me), it took me a few tries. Other than that nice music (I guess choice of music), it had clear graphics. Good job!

Left for Bread by GregK 2018-04-24T11:18:40Z

Fun game, really nice graphics and music. I had a little trouble with the spawning, if I fell off the map sometime I would not react fast enough on respawn and just fall off the map again. But overall a good game, well done!
