LD38 — A Small World

Arry World by willowblade 2017-05-18T00:07:33Z

@tex-killer

We are aware that the text interface plugin we used was not the best choice. Initially we thought that it would be easier to make the plugin do what we actually wanted... but unfortunately this was not the case and we were already too deep in development to make any changes to that aspect of the game.

The current "ending" was initially not intended and an actual ending was supposed to be implemented. After obtaining the treasure there would be a puzzle involving the shovel and you would be able to dig up a scroll containing some kind of life lesson. Again due to time-constraints this was scrapped.

Some items weren't ever supposed to be used, indeed to "mask" the good items.

The inclusion of the eclipses was a pleasantry of our main programmer (@willowblade).

Thanks for voting and commenting! One of things I did was draw and implement the talking chicken (aptly named chickenflex), but I honestly didn't expect him to be this universally beloved.

Loot & Looter by NickZangus 2017-12-05T21:40:11Z

Nice game! Love the simple yet beautiful 3D graphics. Too bad there's only one level :(

Dipsomaniac by Junber 2017-12-08T08:47:02Z

Hello! Really liked the art style and wanted to play it... but when I try to enter a bar this happens:

:(

Boiler Room Defense by cerno-b 2017-12-05T22:37:29Z

Solid game! Nice graphics and good soundeffects!

Like a Boss Rush by dcolgan 2017-12-05T19:25:55Z

What a strange game :D A minor complaint would be that the text isnt formatted always correctly.

Larry Kroft and the Temple of Booze by thomz12 2017-12-05T18:49:54Z

Love this one! Great concept, silly story setting and actually playable!

Student Loan Simulator 2017 Ramen Edition by smbe19 2017-12-05T18:54:56Z

Great concept! Like the straightforward no-nonsense graphics!

Still feels like it lacking some gameplay elements however :(

Somni by Timestop 2017-12-05T03:59:41Z

Might it be possible to compile for Linux?

Hungry Mok and the Amulet of Food by Kornel 2017-12-05T18:36:59Z

Especially love the intro cinematic! Wish we had time to do something like that for our game.

Controls were a bit wonky, but a fun game nonetheless!

SquidBoy & StarFace by willowblade 2017-12-05T18:47:21Z

@timestop Thanks! The initial goal was to have multiple bosses, but this was of course waaaaay too ambitious!

SquidBoy & StarFace by willowblade 2017-12-05T19:27:07Z

@bugmobile If you need two brains then find a friend to play it with :D Easy difficulty mode should however be doable alone! Don't give up!

Thanks for commenting!

SquidBoy & StarFace by willowblade 2017-12-06T10:05:13Z

@tabass thanks! Sound is unfortunately missing yes :(

@dcolgan you can play it on a controller! The support is implemented!

SquidBoy & StarFace by willowblade 2017-12-06T15:08:03Z

@kirun and no mention of bugs! Thanks for the comment :D

SquidBoy & StarFace by willowblade 2017-12-07T22:54:08Z

@jfraser314 thanks!

@Pixelectric Unfortunately we didn't have a sound expert with us and ran out of time! Thanks for voting!

@elemental-zeal-game-studios Yes! It's an accidental co-op game in that sense!

SquidBoy & StarFace by willowblade 2017-12-10T15:20:23Z

@x1212 Yes, the easy difficulty should be tweaked a bit more to be less difficult. Now there's hardly any difference between easy and normal.

@badly-drawn-rod Linking the ships wasn't supposed to be a solution.. :p oh well!

SquidBoy & StarFace by willowblade 2017-12-16T15:22:27Z

@makiki99 Unfortunately the boss indeed doesn't explode or die in a satisfying faction. We didn't have time to implement the victory animation.... we do know it's not that satisfying :(

Fortress Escape by SpaceMonkey 2017-12-11T09:51:00Z

Nice game! Fun to play

Radical Relocation by mr-matt 2017-12-05T18:45:16Z

Love the concept :D Graphics were very nice as well!

Just wish the controls were better & I have the feeling the game is a bit laggy?

Evil Money by interpol 2017-12-05T18:41:09Z

Nice game :D

A postman's day by Bugmobile 2017-12-05T19:31:43Z

Love these kind of minigames :D A bit more of a gradual difficulty curve would be better though.

Sad that i can't play it on a keyboard :(

The Quiet Mind by broccoli 2017-12-05T19:05:27Z

Really like this game! The graphics and aesthetics feel very much complete! It's difficult as well, but that might just be because I suck.

It really emulates an Undertale mood and feel!

Highly rated this one!

LD42 — Running out of space

The last witch-knight by HolyBlackCat 2018-08-15T19:14:33Z

Graphics are great, but would it be possible to bind dodge and shoot to more logical buttons? Z and X are illogical and there have been multiple instances were I died just because of these bad controls. Would have probably loved the game otherwise....

(Sorry I'm mad because I sucked monkeyballs.. Rated you highly though!)

Volant Islands by wujood 2018-08-15T18:53:07Z

I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing magical space yoda collecting saplings! GG

Space Scrap! by Alex Lutay 2018-08-18T14:29:47Z

Great game! Some kind of tutorial or more visual feedback would have been nice!

Eblobla by Steing 2018-08-15T18:41:54Z

Great game! Could have used some more explanation on the 'Growth' and 'Side-effect' things and like @klerembot said: It becomes too easy once you know that you can just draw cards without restrictions!

Protocol: 47 - Superstar Appeal by Poffle 2018-08-14T18:02:27Z

Awesome game! The sound and humor were top-notch! Graphics were great as well.

No idea who this famous rapper is supposed to be, but the last time I listened to modern music was when the BeeGees were just breaking through!

CPS - Cryogenic Protection Services by willowblade 2018-08-14T21:06:25Z

Yes @earnso, the controls feel a little bit weird, but we didnt really have time to properly fix it. You played this game when the introductionary text (see above) was not yet available. The game is pretty confusing without it :)

Heyo @ben-lee, the Back to Sleep button quits the application and doesnt work in the web build. There are still a few bugs present and we are looking into it.

Thank you both for your kind words!

CPS - Cryogenic Protection Services by willowblade 2018-08-15T21:17:02Z

@lootgrounds The player's position should indeed be shown! Linking the comm module to this position is indeed quite a good idea! Unfortunately there is, currently, no easy way to do this :/

Day 3 is definitely possible, but you have to make some sacrifices just like you said!

CPS - Cryogenic Protection Services by willowblade 2018-08-18T14:05:59Z

@superqgs the first-person controls are quite wonky at the moment... first time we tried one so we don't really know the ins and outs. Thank for the tips!

@alex-lutay The 'Go Back to Sleep'-button quits the application, which does not work in browser. In hindsight a restart of the entire game might have been better? Ejecting all the modules was supposed to be a more punishing playstyle because all modules were supposed to have important functions. In the final product this not the case.... oh well

OVERKILL by earnso 2018-08-15T18:19:04Z

Nice graphics! The bodies don't really stay behind long :( I was expecting more corpses!

Malware Busters by Lishnor 2018-08-15T18:03:30Z

"Final_build_almost_all_bug_fixed.zip" has a great concept! FPS was incredibly low however... almost impossible to play :(

Surrounded by Traffle 2018-08-15T18:15:47Z

Great concept and game! Minimal graphics are perfect. Like others said different enemies with bigger bodies (that can't be moved) and different kind of weapons would have made it even better.

head space by leviathon 2018-08-14T22:15:01Z

Concept of this one is great, but gameplay is lacking at the moment. Like people said before, grey thoughts only came in, in the beginning?

Where's Creepo? by SundanceKid 2018-08-15T18:24:11Z

Fun game :D Couldn't really see the reasoning behind the camera running out of space without you doing something? Suspension of Disbelief

L: An Interactive Mystery by Cercle 2018-08-18T14:23:41Z

Good job! :D Those dang teens and their puberty!

A Tale of Fish by dalton5000 2018-08-14T18:14:02Z

Great PnC! Great pixelart! Enjoyed this funny little game ;)

Virus: Rabbit by Rob Parker 2018-08-15T18:12:41Z

Nice concept you got there mate :D Graphics of my white rabbits were glitching out! But since they are supposed to be viruses...mmmmh

Froggily by AlbeGame 2018-08-15T18:08:00Z

Funny game you got there :D Enjoyed it. Graphics were a bit inconsistent though?

No Place To Die by ZephyrExtreme 2018-08-15T18:56:07Z

Would get whacked by angry fluo ravezombies again! 11/10

The Gentle Giant by Red Pill 2018-08-15T19:24:19Z

Great game and interesting concept :D Enjoyed the art style as well!

My Sweet Money Shooter by Lex Randea 2019-04-30T11:50:12Z

Great concept! I suck at investing though and die every time... :cry:

Riddles In the Dark by Lex Randea 2021-04-29T13:11:03Z

Congrats on chruning this out @lex-randea !

Rock Reach Flag by willowblade 2018-04-23T19:08:46Z

I like games with rocks in them!
