LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

The Forgotten Four by Finn Truman 2018-12-04T19:56:38Z

this was good fun, it's a shame about the bugs, I experienced the draw event issue and a bug where the ranger couldn't attack the only enemy with there first ability, which I had done before in the run

Village's Gods by Glauber 2018-12-04T01:45:58Z

It'd me nice if the game gave more feedback when the player did something, or if anything in the background moved

Sorcerer's Gambit by woofdog99 2018-12-04T01:39:49Z

The art is really nice. I couldn't read the instructions at all. Please consider using a more legible font especially for how to play sections, I legitimately had to get someone to read it to me.

LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Phone Tree of Despair by Jezzamon 2020-10-05T13:45:31Z

Sounds like a cool idea, looking forward to the browser version to try out calling the US sounds expensive

The Loop by minibobbo 2020-10-05T19:11:25Z

Loved the art for this game and the sound. I was unable to use the shield as whenever I pressed spacebar the whole page would scroll down, this might be my fault but it meant I couldn't block ever

NightmESCHER by Rodrigo DenĂºbila 2020-10-05T19:59:19Z

I love seeing all these mind bending level settings. It really does hurt my brain though :laughing:

Hyperloop hell by Aterlamia 2020-10-05T12:58:38Z

Really solid art style, like the others said the font itself was hard to read, and it got very hard to read when the colour was blue as it blended into the background of the UI.

Stuck in Orbit by thedarkmagi 2020-10-06T15:21:59Z

Thanks everyone for all your feedback :heart: I totally messed up on the colour I selected for my little enemies, they should have had higher contrast with the background

@minibobbo I'm glad you found the lining up of shots really satisfying that was one of my fav things about the game, its one of the reasons I didn't make the shots any faster.

I really wanted to convey the player was getting faster while orbiting the planet and ended up with the background getting busy to ensure I conveyed that.

SpaceLoop Defender by xatulu 2020-10-05T14:00:54Z

I liked the changing art styles that was cool. it took me ages to work out what the travellers were and that I had to actually catch them, I spent a while shooting them thinking they were bad guys at the start

Portaloop by Allas 2020-10-05T19:05:21Z

This was a lot of fun and very rewarding getting just 1 point. Although I suck at this game and couldn't get more than 3 points :laughing:

The Fate Of The Samurai by Kylene 2020-10-05T14:06:50Z

The link for your web version does not work. and I tried using the web version on your gamejolt page and that gets stuck loading.

Rocket Mission by dunderroffe 2020-10-07T19:54:01Z

nice idea, my brain really struggled to remember just which way up and down made me travel so I kept crashing into the planet :laughing:

Stuck In Orbit by kamen Kitanov 2020-10-06T19:06:15Z

Oh hey game name twin :smile: your art is great. As others were saying these turrets are very strong

Through Cosmos by Hadryel 2020-10-05T14:39:44Z

took me a while to figure out how to mine the rocks and trees, it would be nice that was explained in your instructions

Stormy Night by lesinvisible 2020-10-05T19:22:00Z

Absolutely love the art and music for this game amazing. I'm not strong at reading so I admit to spamming through all the text so I didn't exactly "play" the game

Grand Magus by daitli 2020-10-05T13:41:41Z

visuals are great, I had a lot of fun playing once I'd worked out the it was right click to steal spells not left like the instructions say.

As it's compo I believe you're required to include your source code so you might want to add that :smile:

Stuck On The Orbit by Corporation 2020-10-05T18:57:13Z

Art looks very good. I found the asteriod sound effects were very piecing and loud so had to mute the audio to continue playing which is a shame as the rest of your audio was good

Strange Loop by axeltherabbit 2020-10-05T19:52:07Z

oh wow that did hurt my eyes with all the spinning

while(true) by Noah Kuhn 2020-10-06T19:22:57Z

Nice concept. I never really felt at risk of losing but maybe I just didn't play enough loops. the audio matched the visuals well although it was quite grating on my ears

Follow Who You Follow by JeremyOduber 2020-10-05T13:26:06Z

Nice art style. Although honestly I couldn't work out what I was meant to do other than just scroll.

Red Venom by extar 2020-10-07T19:30:25Z

wow your art is amazing I love it. I'm completely suprised about how detailed art in pico8 can be. I came from my comments as a fellow pico8-er :heart: It's a shame you weren't able to get all the collision functioning.

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Chess Hellevator by BoxedMeatRevolution 2021-04-29T15:03:05Z

Great take on chess, a game that I'm garbage at, so I didn't get too far but I enjoyed what I played!

Descent into Midnight Trench by kfischer-okarin 2021-04-27T15:09:07Z

I like the graphics they're nice and simple but solid! Gameplay is surprisingly fun given it's simplisty! Great job for 48hrs.

Depths of Corruption by Austin 2021-04-27T16:02:28Z

A technically impressive game that would probably feel a lot more fun if it was faster. I got to level 8 and just ran my lads into the mobs and the screen went black? this might have been death or the game just completely crashed, I was running in the browser

Digging? by thedarkmagi 2021-04-29T19:19:21Z

@windfall890 Yeah my game really didn't come together till the last day so a lot of the love it needed to polish it up like improved UI and controls just didn't fit in the amount of time I had left. I had issues getting audio running in the webgl build so I had to cut including the audio Thanks for the feedback!

Dice Explorer by Solah 2021-04-29T15:34:03Z

A nice fun concept that I'd definitely like to see more of with some better balancing as I just got stuck near the end :(

Fore! by TheBlondeBass 2021-04-29T15:22:39Z

I was not expecting this to be any fun but I finished the whole thing and it was really interesting and enjoyable!

Mariana Mining Co by ownedstuff 2021-04-27T17:06:29Z

Fun game, I had issues where sometimes the hook just wouldn't happen for a little bit. interesting terrain generation would be interested to know how you approached it even with it's broken state

Hell Diver by MacDoom 2021-04-29T15:46:05Z

Fun game with a simple concept but well executed. And I only played the Compo version not the updated variant. I did not realise the ghosts were healing until I got hit buy accident by one

dog descends dungeon, dies? by Craggar 2021-04-27T14:59:47Z

A well-made Isaac like given the timeframe! Definitely could be more fun with it speeding up a bit and potentially a map, so I have any idea where I'm going XD

Tower Tower Defence Defence by IAmWave 2021-04-27T16:26:38Z

This was A LOT of fun, at first I really didn't get it but once I'd worked it out I was having loads of fun and probably played for 30minutes so really strong and enjoyable!

1000 Fathoms by Dom De Re 2021-04-29T14:09:02Z

Really liked the visuals, the audio was a little loud but good. Game functions well, I could manage to close the breaches through walls though

Mushroom Mine by my_name_isnt_bob 2021-04-29T14:16:09Z

An interesting game that I admit I really struggled to understand, maybe you can update the description to explain the controls to make it easier for others to play :)

Where's my dynoMITE? [LD48] by miej 2021-04-29T14:50:53Z

I loved the audio of the game! its always fun when people just make sound effects with their mouths! gameplay was fun and engaging, I have exactly 0 idea how I was meant to keep that man alive xD

Crashdown by iellswo 2021-04-29T14:33:37Z

This was a fun but short game! wish I could have both the sword and the gun and switch between the two. I had the level 5 blaster so everything just was quickly defeated including the boss was quickly taken down

Dwoblins by oligue 2021-04-29T14:24:35Z

Excellent job on your first gamejam! sometimes the goblins would kill me just being near me but round a corner but other than that a well made game :) It'd have been nice if I could hold the mouse down instead of having to click a lot to break the blocks!
