LD44 — Your life is currency

Mr. Bank's Journey by Sheepolution 2019-04-29T20:50:02Z

Great job. I love the concept of not knowing how much money you have collected until it's too late.

Money Cabin by Tero Pulkkinen 2019-04-30T01:19:54Z

Great job :wink:

WORK! by Matterox 2019-04-29T20:29:51Z

Actually kinda fun and addicting... Fits the theme well.

BulletLife by Temsei 2019-04-30T00:00:59Z

I would like to clarify that there is not a Mac version, despite the download link.

DISREGARD LIFE, ACQUIRE CURRENCY by notb 2019-04-29T20:46:03Z

Very good. I was confused at first, but eventually got the hang of it.

Rainbow Rampage - Twitch Overlay Game by Instafluff 2019-04-30T01:49:38Z

5/5, would stream again.

Plant Clicker by 764hotshot 2019-04-30T01:18:05Z

Pretty good. I found it to be too quick and easy to beat.

Goals by vanLeiden 2019-04-29T20:17:58Z

Amazing! Really made me think. Pretty addicting :smile:

This Game Blows by fibonacci1321 2019-04-29T20:35:16Z

For you first compo, great job! The game works and is enjoyable! The biggest issue I found was that sometimes the "wind" would appear off the screen and I couldn't do anything. Besides that, good job :smile:

NETHER WORLD by Sakai 2019-04-29T01:57:32Z

Great job! I'm really impressed with the story. I would have never thought of this. The music was a bit annoying, but I can understand why that would be hard to avoid.

LD46 — Keep it alive

Eggcelerate by TimBeaudet 2020-04-25T01:40:16Z

It's always fun to play a game that messes with physics. It was such a challenge and really made me think about my choice of movements. The first ramp was definitely the hardest part. That tripped me up several times. After exploring for a bit, I found all of your track pieces laying around the side of the map. It was an unusual mess and made everything seem a bit incomplete despite functionality. Great work!

Spooble: A Search Engine Story by allthebees 2020-04-28T02:06:53Z

This is absolutely hilarious. I loved all the random things that would come up. Great work!

Planet Defenders For Hire by paulhocker 2020-04-25T01:27:25Z

The idea was definitely there. The first couple of levels were relatively easy. I could beat them by constantly spinning. However, this plan didn't last forever and I noticed a sudden jump in difficulty. That may have just been me though. Like everyone else was saying, it's a great foundation. Amazing work!

Dummy Doggy by Nick Rafalski 2020-04-25T01:15:14Z

Over great work! I found it to be pretty entertaining. I didn't experience the shark bug that some people were talking about, but that sure does sound like even more additional fun. Sound effects were great and really added to the atmosphere.

MACHINA by Harry Alissavakis 2020-04-25T18:14:32Z

Great work! The graphics are amazing. The first dialogue is a bit long, but the small hints of comedy definitely make up for it. I found it to be a bit laggy running in the browser, but that is most likely my computer. I can't wait to see if you build more off of this in the future.

Flock for Feast by Antti Haavikko 2020-04-25T18:21:58Z

This is so much fun to pay. It's simple to grasp the mechanics, addicting, and makes me want to keep trying over and over. I absolutely love the graphics. The leaderboard really adds a competitive aspect. My one complaint is the lag every time a bird get caught. At first it does not cause a problem, but eventually it starts to make the game unplayable. Over all, great job!

Day and Night by dskeppstedt 2020-04-25T18:26:08Z

Great idea but the mechanics aren't really there. I would often get a "I can't find a path" error when there was an obvious path. The WASD movement was definitely buggy and would sometimes not even work. Also, the game could really do with some simple relaxing music. Over all great work, but it could use some improving.

Jake, Zack, and Chad's Day Out by Historymaker118 2020-04-25T16:31:59Z

Pretty fun. Sometimes the controls were not responsive. I would press F and nothing would happen. The music was great. Overall, good job!

Cellular: Automata by Baturinsky 2020-04-20T15:07:33Z

Very interesting idea. Took me a while to get through some of them. Great interface. Amazing work!

Miscen...AGAIN!? by itsdanidre 2020-04-25T18:35:40Z

This is a pretty good game! Sometimes the riddle were pretty tricky though. The first challenge I got was the only one that really stayed in line with the theme, but maybe I was just missing something. There is definitely lots to explore before you can start to solve the riddles. Overall, great work!

Keep'n It Alive by Ifman1 2020-05-12T14:24:58Z

This was definitely fun to play. My biggest complaint is the length of the "cut scenes". They seemed to take ages. Another small issue is the lack of challenge. All I had to do was press my mouse over and over. There was no challenge and it was very repetitive. Great work though!

Just in time! by Oleksandr Rogovskyi 2020-05-12T14:19:01Z

Just a heads up, the Mac version does not work.

GOLKIA by Szieberth Adam 2020-04-20T15:10:40Z

It looks like an amazing game, but the MacOS app is not working. Not sure what the issue is. Knowing Apple, it's probably not your fault. Good work though!

Keep It Alight by Lamasaurus 2020-04-24T02:38:21Z

Very neat concept. The *things* that are attracted to the light scared me a little!

DDoS is coming by Alexey Akulovich 2020-04-20T15:20:56Z

An interesting concept. I would really love to see other games created along these same lines. Took me a while to grasp how each tool works. Great job!

Burning Time by pixelcrustpunk 2020-04-25T18:16:38Z

The Mac app is broken. This is probably not your fault, but just figured I would give you a heads up. Looks like great work though!

Dragon Egg by Heiach 2020-04-25T01:20:43Z

Interesting idea. Very original. I found the extra long loading screen to be pretty annoying. Sometimes reloading the browser would be faster than waiting. The difficulty was great. On the first level, though, the tutorial really tripped me up. I read press Z, I pressed it, and the egg died. "Wait, following instruction lead to my failure?" The music was great!

Beeeees by Corporation 2020-04-24T02:43:12Z

Cute idea. The balloon's reactions to the player's movements were great. They actually made me laugh a couple of times, oddly enough. Great work. The music could use some tweaking, though. It was a bit harsh sounding.

BoPeep vs Big Bad by Buckmonster 2020-04-24T02:59:30Z

Same as everyone else. Looks cool, don't want an account.

Temple of Enlightenment by prepparedheathen 2020-04-25T18:01:13Z

Neat idea. Sometimes the block physics would stop me from progressing (I think on the 4th level). It is definitely a cool idea and really goes against the typical goals of a platformer. The droning music really fits the mood. Good job!

Supernova by Clément K 2020-04-20T15:25:16Z

Controls were definitely difficult to grasp, but it added a nice challenge. Great work!

Save The Forest by endaramiz 2020-04-24T02:51:56Z

Great work! The idea was fairly original and I like the way you implemented it. The music was there, but didn't really add anything to the experience. It just seemed to be the same few notes over and over. The graphics were minimalistic, but I actually found that to look appealing. For future LDs, try to use Processing's export feature. It makes an application out of the sketch. That will make the game more user friendly. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Evolve by Ecrush11989 2020-05-12T14:17:58Z

It's a great idea, but something just seems off. It took me a while to understand how everything worked. Even when I did grasp it, I still struggled. The UI was very weird. Everything was scaled awkward and was blurry. Overall, I see what you were going for but it could use some work. Good job!

Fireman (in-browser) by Somniac 2020-04-25T18:05:04Z

I found this to be pretty difficult. Maybe I was just misunderstanding the mechanics, but it seemed a bit complicated. Maybe difficulties would be a good solution. Either way, great work!

Convaser by DecrementedPalindrome 2020-04-24T02:57:27Z

Had fun with this one. At first I found the conveyors to be nothing but an odd distraction. But over time, however, I really had to start adjusting my movements to account for them. This game is pretty action packed and kept me on my toes. You had some of the best music that I have seen this LD so far, kudos on that. Great work!
