LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Terra Nova by LTyrosine 2020-10-14T11:21:03Z

Nice game, the graphics reminded me of the old school 3D games. I liked the core game mechanic of a "looping resource management" system, very interesting and fun.

Only complaint I got is that it would be nice to be able to fast forward time, and not have to wait for the ships to reach the island.

The presentation/UI/animation is top-notch, good work on that front. The gameplay is pretty intense and fun, although it got really tedious at the final stage, I didn't even knew you can hit multiple times and had to hit the boss one at a time. The atmosphere and art is also great, it sorta depict some kinda sci-fi epic god vs god battle. All in all, great work on the game.

Roll your Dough by ancient-pixel 2020-10-11T01:01:54Z

Nice game, reminded me of Papers Please. I like the political commentary/satire with the morning breakfast scene (mmmm breakfast bagel, yum). The core gameplay of rolling the dough is kinda wonky, I couldn't get it to work until I figured out you have to move your cursor up and down. But all in all, good work!

Stuck in a while(true) by Neowedge 2020-10-14T11:36:18Z

Really neat game, simple and fun! The programmer-like UI looks really nice and is quite thematic. Nice sounds and effects, and the controls are ok.

Only complaint I have is that the spread shot upgrade kinda ruins your aim a little, as the shot is split evenly left and right, so it kinda feels like a side-grade, not an upgrade.

John & Terry by cleitoneldorn 2020-10-06T13:52:27Z

Short and quirky game, nice. When I got chased by the cat, it scared the hell out of me, lol.

The Deja Brew by drprettypatty 2020-10-05T13:54:08Z

Nice game, I like the quirky and humorous feel of the game. After I got the sword, I didn't what to do though. Also, the tank controls is really hard to control.

Prison of the Dream Weaver by candlesan 2020-10-06T13:37:06Z

I did not expect a fart sound effect, it made me laugh :laughing: . The game is good and fun, I like the card mechanic progression system, it was challenging and the controls are decent.

The AI is surprisingly smart and knows how to dodge the player (rather than just rushing ahead). Amazing programming work on the AI! (especially in a 48 hour game jam, damn! You one smart cookie :cookie: )

Loading: The Game by Wakobu 2020-10-07T14:41:20Z

Pretty fun game, I like the spinning wheel mechanic. The virus are also kinda cute.

One Can Do! by EvoGenGames 2020-10-06T13:02:24Z

Interesting educational/awareness game, I like how you can kinda experience what is is like to have OCD.

A possible improvement you can make is to include a paragraph of explanation/details on the implication of OCD, and how it is related to the game.

Pico Arena by scottgoldsmith 2020-10-05T11:20:46Z

Nice short game. The core gameplay loop seems good, but the implementation is kinda weird. I ended up just mashing "Z" and obliterating all my foes, it quickly becomes boring. Maybe more refinement on the controls would make it more fun. But all in all, good work, the art and old school graphics is nice.

You're A Loop by RIBOUT Horace 2020-10-06T13:15:55Z

What the hell, this one is by far the most creative use of the theme. It is very fun and innovative, it looks and sounds ethereal and the loop is very pleasant to control.

The increased obstacles (every time you collect an item) also adds to the challenge of navigating, making it really fun to progress. I can't think of any complaints.

Fantastic work! I'm so jelly of your work :cry:

wfh by Noxbuds 2020-10-08T13:24:11Z

Accurate depiction of WFH, lol.

I like the game mechanics of managing between task and feeding your cat. Graphics and sound effects aren't too shabby. Good work!

Ants Inc. by MikeSalyh 2020-10-06T15:27:01Z

This game made me realize how reliant i am on auto-complete and spell checks, lol. I made it to 10 ants, so i think i did OK :laughing:

It's a quick and fun game, good work!

Suburban Bus MAYHEM by joonamo 2020-10-06T12:13:24Z

I like the text-to-speech npcs, I always find it really funny XD. The game is quite fun and humorous. The controls is a little wonky but I think it actually adds to the charm and wackiness of the game. Nice game!

Escape the Loop! by jessifin 2020-10-05T00:35:11Z

Cool music bro/sis. I also like how the bullets curve as well, good work!

Mel's Bells by Pizzasgood 2020-10-05T11:38:00Z

Oh this is a great game. It is challenging and very fun to play, I like the concept of using sounds instead of visuals to do a memory/reaction game. It is a great core gameplay loop. Once I encountered the special monsters and bosses, I got wreaked because I can't for the life of me think in reverse, lol. Also, the art reminded me of the old school PC games. Anyway, great work!

Smoothing things out by Shakedimus 2020-10-14T11:25:26Z

This actually looks interesting! I like the asymmetrical multiplayer game play of manipulating shapes/polygons, very nice.

Unfortunately, I'm a sad, lonely person and have nobody to play with :cry: . So I can't really give much feedback.

Habits by M8rix 2020-10-08T14:39:14Z

Cute little game. I like the little interaction with the different objects, makes for a funny "non-combat" adventure game. It could have used some NPCs or interaction with more locations. But anyway, good work!

Gunguin by TinySalad 2020-10-08T14:49:37Z

Nice short game...what's not to like?! It has a penguin with a GUN! :gun::penguin:

Anyway, I really liked the art and the cutscenes. The music and story is also decent. The controls is kinda iffy, because the penguin moves too fast (possibly due to not considering frame rates in the code?). All in all, good work!

Monke Rehabilitation Center by SpacialSeasoning 2020-10-11T15:11:22Z

Jeez, that's the most trippy game i played in this game jam. I think I got lucky with all the weird dimensional puzzles. For a shit-post game, this has a surprising amount of gameplay and puzzle elements. The challenge of getting the final gear (while falling through a pipe) is quite frustrating, but I got lucky and got the gear.

Elon musk meme, shitpost game :thumbsup:

The Hand That Feeds by neonjeff 2020-10-05T14:38:14Z

Ahhh yes, the natural process of growing up, shitting on the floor and rolling all over the place at the age of 30. Truly, an accurate depiction of raising a ~~man~~child

A Day in the Woods by ditam 2020-10-19T11:33:11Z

Nice game.

I like the black ink art style, it is idyllic and pleasant looking. The music is great! I also like the writing and exploration aspect.

The story is kinda weird, but I feel there is quite a bit of potential for a very deep narrative experience. The gameplay/story progression is also a little weird, as I don't really know where to go, thankfully, the green bar at the top right gave some sort of indication, so I'm not lost.

All in all, great work!

Hero Rabbit On The Bed by JoshuaRabbit 2020-10-11T14:49:18Z

Nice cute game. I liked the simple RPG/Turn-based elements, it worked surprisingly well, although it seems a little too easy. The art is also very cute, good work!

The Trade Secret by Milestone Games 2020-10-06T15:33:37Z

Short interesting game, could make for a good story game.

[LD47] Falling Asleep by Dark Dungeon Studio 2020-10-05T13:22:46Z

The core game-play seems quite solid, although I can't figure out how to combine different objects to win. I think I encountered a bug where the guy keeps falling endlessly and I got less than -100 mental health. The presentation is pretty good though, really nice transition and cut-scenes. Good music too.

Also, programmer art is best art. XD

StackOverflow by Mark Kelly 2020-10-06T15:15:41Z

Computer: You are wasting your time!

Me: "Laughs in auto-clicker". Automation technologies FTW.

Grind by ChickenCastle 2020-10-05T11:53:38Z

It is a humorous and creative game, I especially like the vegetable people. The controls is a little floaty though, I find myself sliding pass the fridge and water cooler many times. Also, I got blocked by one of the colleagues in the meeting room, making me lose points, screw that guy, lol.

Redneck Raceway by Henrik Ganard 2020-10-05T14:16:29Z

Simple racing game, nice. The controls is really hard to control, especially turning. The dialogue at the start is pretty funny though, nice voice acting XD.

Debug.Loop! by Gironimo4 2020-10-05T11:09:09Z

Nice simple game. It looks very interesting and vibrant, I especially like the starting intro screen. The loop concept is kinda neat. One possible improvements is you could introduce a progression/extra challenge by increasing the obstacles and the speed.

The Loop Planet by TheCakeConsortium 2020-10-05T23:49:45Z

@scottgoldsmith @chickencastle @ribout-horace Actually, I did other game jams before, so I have some experience in game making, but this is my first Ludum Dare Game Jam, where I have to make my own music and sounds as well, lol.

Seratonin Style by realman27 2020-10-06T14:28:20Z

> I'm sad, please help me, i wish somebody would help me, i have nobody in my life.

> -Stickman in Seratonin Style

...that's very relatable, lol.

Anyway, the game is pretty good, the controls are ok, but the collision seems a bit wonky, it might have something to do with the rotating ground. Also, the jump animation looks really good! I especially like the cartoony squash and stretch effect, very nice. Music and cutscenes is also quite good and wacky.

Also, seratonin boi is best boi.

Abducted by FlashCash0402 2020-10-05T14:26:51Z

I like the text-to-speech ayy lmaos, lol. The grabbing mechanism seems kinda inconsistent, and the puzzles are really weird. I don't know, just not really feeling it.

Loop Deleter by Zachary Barbanell 2020-10-05T00:27:22Z

Nice puzzle game, I was not expecting to see a Puzzlescript game. The rules are simple but effective, the game is fun overall, good work!

Time Princess by doomerismo 2020-10-08T14:29:33Z

Nice game, but damn, the difficulty balance is out of wack, should have made the green dude much weaker.

I went from being a badass, killing skeletons in one shot to being one shot-ed by Shrek.

Other than that, it has a simple but appealing gameplay and art, good work!
