LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

How to ruin your life in 48 hours by Yaroslav Kravtsov 2018-12-04T16:16:54Z

pretty meta :D. Good job to all of you! It's impressively complete for a game within 72h!

Ludum Dare: The Game by pantoufle 2018-12-04T15:54:44Z

Very fun! You really captured the spirit of the game jam ! I love those kind of game and yours is really well polished! great job !

Fading Memories by schmavery 2018-12-05T08:00:55Z

Nice take on the theme. good Graphics and sounds too. The emotion perspective makes it kinda hard to choose which one to sacrifice :cry:. good job

Istenek by Fenderbate 2018-12-04T14:31:40Z

Nice one. Love the management system. a bit challenging to understand despite a good tutorial. Great job!

The Dark Sea by Jickamangah 2018-12-04T14:37:51Z

fun one! easy to play :). pretty well designed. Great job

Pyrrhus by thunderkerrigan 2018-12-05T07:27:19Z

We had this idea that the character would go into mental and physical transformations during the gameplay so that at the end, she would have question if it was worth it. It was my first game jam and our first one as a team and we probably put too much on our plates for this one :sweat_smile: . Thank you all for the great feedbacks. We're very proud of the music which was composed by @jeunegen for the game!

Disassembly Line by Borja 2018-12-04T14:26:41Z

Pretty fun and amazing in every aspect. all in 72 hours ? damn...

A Town of Questionable Morals by CaseyH 2018-12-06T09:07:55Z

Pretty funny! love the mood and it's pretty simple to play. I had to come back here to see the controls for interact with the babies but despite that it's intuitive. I find the big laser pylon is a bit hard to spot. Good Job !

Eldritchual by arkinrev 2018-12-05T08:03:17Z

funny! Feels a bit slow in the beginning though. Cool Idea. Nice sounds. Really embrace the cultist mood

Potty Panic by Ryan Brenner 2018-12-04T15:37:13Z

simple and funny. nice look and feel. good job on the interaction. It's pretty intuitive after we learn the controls for grab and throw :D

The Pursuit of Profit by jcroisant 2018-12-05T07:37:34Z

Nice one :smiley: . Pretty simple but well executed. cool graphics and takes on the theme ! Good Job!

Plane accordingly by Martynas 2018-12-04T15:43:41Z

nice Look and feel as well as the music. simple yet solid gameplay. Good job!

LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Satelloop by diptoman 2020-10-06T18:12:42Z

very thorough gameplay ! Very fun to play!

Graphics are good and the music is catchy. I'm amazed by all the interaction you can do. controls are very easy to understand even without a tutorial.

Good Job :thumbsup:

A Short Detour by Kyrio 2020-10-06T16:54:00Z

Interesting takes on the theme :smile:

I was confused at first but it's a nice concept and refreshing idea! Just going with the flow and let's the mood sets in.

Good job :clap:

Loopomotive by Tamas Turi 2020-10-08T10:02:39Z

We made something along the line as well. Yours is very enjoyable! I really like how you made it harder and rewarding at the same time. It's veryl well balanced in my opinion. Controls were not intuitive for me though but nothing really serious to consider. Graphics are nice and the sound set the mood pretty well. Great entry overall! :thumbsup:

Mind the Gap by coderTrevor 2020-10-07T20:21:08Z

Really fun one! :smile: I'm very impressed by what you produced !

It's a shame that you didn't have time to finish :sob: I hope you'll finish it! I want to know more about this engineer! :laughing:

Loop Frogs by GaryS 2020-10-06T10:45:01Z

I'm speechless... I started the game not knowing how you could possibly fit the theme in. It's incredible guys... And it's not lacking anything in my opinion. You're my favorite so far.

Good job :thumbsup:

Stuck In A Loop by Zelif 2020-10-07T17:33:44Z

Good job to actually make a groundhog-day game! Love the camera system: it gave a neat movie-feeling. :thumbsup:

Cattle Ropin' by nandelind 2020-10-06T16:48:09Z

cool one :thumbsup: Graphics and sounds are good and really setting the mood.

Gameplay is quite challenging though :sweat_smile:

Good job!

Caterpiloop by Marcus Otterstrom 2020-10-08T14:38:09Z

Good job on this one :smile:

The Machine in the Woods by digital bacon 2020-10-07T16:50:52Z

Hey man, That's a good first try in the 3D game development honestly. You got something working and enjoyable all by yourself.

That's cool enough for me :smiley:

Choo Choo Loop by thunderkerrigan 2020-10-06T09:53:33Z

Thanks all for your feedbacks! I recognize it's not clear that you can in fact destroy a previously constructed rail. When you position the cursor back on a rail, it should allow you to destroy it by left or right-clicking it.

It could require a bit more than one destruction to be able make a loop though.

Choo Choo Loop by thunderkerrigan 2020-10-06T10:08:34Z

@mrmaico Yeah it is quite difficult I agree. We struggled to find a good way to balance the difficulty. One thing I think we are lacking is an insentive to make loop. Right now there is no reward as to lock a train in a loop. I'm still scratching my head on this one :smile:

Choo Choo Loop by thunderkerrigan 2020-10-06T21:35:01Z

We fixed the most annoying bugs we so far. Sorry for the inconvenience :sweat_smile:

Choo Choo Loop by thunderkerrigan 2020-10-07T13:55:11Z

@axeltherabbit I'm looking into it. My guess is we used heavy Assets which make the game looks like a Call Of duty Patch. I'll try to make it go on a diet for you I promise ;).

Choo Choo Loop by thunderkerrigan 2020-10-08T06:24:02Z

@codertrevor thank you for your feedback! :smiley: It is definitely very difficult but it is intended and I think it contributes to the challenge it represents. But I agree entirely : we need to tune it a bit and give more insentive to create loop. We wanted to add train collision at first but you can imagine how difficult and rage inducing it would have been :laughing: .

Imagine that we intended to drop 3 train spawns at a given time :sweat_smile: .

I think I'll look into polishing this game and find a better use of the loop. We all have a blast making it and I really want to make the players enjoy it. We definitely need to give a reward for making loops.

@reallyqbert thank you! Indeed, tracks & trains have their shares of games in this jam :laughing: . I think your game made the difficulty smoothier evolving throughough the game where ours just smash the player's face right off the bat :laughing: .

Choo Choo Loop by thunderkerrigan 2020-10-09T17:45:07Z

ok we reuploaded the webGL versions. It should be less heavy :laughing:

Choo Choo Loop by thunderkerrigan 2020-10-12T09:37:44Z

@smbe19 thank you for your feedback. Indeed, the rails construction palette is determined by all available paths on the targetted tile. Right now, it's too much restrictive as it filters on the exclusive opened paths. We planned to continue this game developmment as we had a lot of fun with it and we think it has potential. Stay tuned! :wink:

Lucky Lefty Loves Loops by TheBookSnail 2020-10-08T06:31:28Z

Great game that's all! clever meta looping :smile:

The Ribbon by Fax 2020-10-07T09:50:33Z

super sur le look et la musique! ça défini très bien l'ambiance. Le feeling des controles est excellent et la difficulté bien dosé.

très très fort sur la réalisation de de l'infinite loop du niveau :thumbsup:

Alter-Nate by Codeman1010 2020-10-07T20:14:13Z

great game. Love the graphics and the level design. the game play feels a little too much though: the platformer part feels odd in my opinion.

Great entry overall :thumbsup:

Loopy Loco by ReallyQbert 2020-10-07T16:27:00Z

We came up with a pretty similar idea that's funny :smiley: Pleasant little game. Clever gameplay. simple and intuitive controls.

Good job :thumbsup:

Hamster LOOP by Scintillae_Creations 2020-10-06T10:13:03Z

Nice one :smile: Controls are a bit shaky though. You're using unity's gravity? The hamster is lovely! Love the progressing difficulty.

Nice work! :thumbsup:

Boris the Bear Hunter by ForgeronStudio 2020-10-06T16:29:28Z

interesting game mechanics :smiley: delightful graphics and a big effort to wrap up a story within your game. that's refreshing for sure :thumbsup:

Good job

BULLET TIME by cakts 2020-10-06T16:44:23Z

fun one :smiley: Love the graphics and the mood.

I'm a bit confused by the time loop thingy but I love those kind of gameplay.

congratulation for your entry!

Co-Routine by MatchaFlavor 2020-10-06T09:48:11Z

Impressive. Graphics are nice: simple yet it all blends in. Controls are a bit confusing. It would have been cool to have a quick hint of the controls when you start playing. It's all getting easier once I went back in the how to play screen :smile: .

Pretty cool overall. Nice Job !

InTheLoopOfRevenge by jdbuenol 2020-10-07T16:54:19Z

interesting takes on the theme.

Orbital Roaming by Sidonie_Go 2020-10-07T16:32:50Z

Love the graphics. it's very cute :smiley: .

Brace for Impact by worblir 2020-10-07T16:58:34Z

You got a solid rythm game in the making here. puts some particle effect and shaders within and it's a tripping hit !

Cool sound too ! :smile:

LD49 — Unstable

Puzzled Love by Yaroslav Kravtsov 2021-10-05T19:54:46Z

Clever interpretation of the theme. Simple gameplay but clever mechanism and story telling. Now I'm gonna cry...

Larry the Vengeful Balloon by Nick Rafalski 2021-10-06T14:10:04Z

I made it to 31 ! cool little game. No need to be fancy to be fun. A single control suffice. You used a shader for the distortion effect ? congratulation man :clap:

Garbostackers by Runuchok 2021-10-07T12:20:21Z

I dig the style :sunglasses: ! pretty cool mechanism. Easy to understand and control. :thumbsup:

The Escape by Marin0104 2021-10-05T19:36:08Z

Love the style. cool drifting experience but it's too difficult for my taste. :thumbsup:

Under the Weather by SleepyStudios 2021-10-06T18:58:47Z

Cute game. A bit laggy which cause the controls to be really difficult. music and graphics blend really well and give a sweet vibe overall. :clap:

Hun's table by Justine D 2021-10-05T19:32:37Z

congrats fellow Hun's enthusiast :laughing: . Really cool AI behavior. The gameplay is pretty simple and yet it's really efficient. love seeing the huns wreaking havoc in the hut :sweat_smile:

HUN'S TABLE by thunderkerrigan 2021-10-05T11:47:05Z

@jajakeim Yeah that's the main feedback we have overall. Some games are essentially overly engineered regarding of success conditions ( the cinder app for instance). I think we did not emphasize enough on the fact that you're a Hun-man looking for its tables :sweat_smile:

HUN'S TABLE by thunderkerrigan 2021-10-05T12:58:21Z

@tomtomgome haha! Yes we stumble upon yours yesterday! Glad we're not the only one who made the same association in our heads :sweat_smile: I'll test yours later ! See you soon fellow Hun's friend!

HUN'S TABLE by thunderkerrigan 2021-10-06T12:12:21Z

@sherwood yeah I totally aggree. We did the post mortem yesterday and already thought about what we did wrong in this regards. We were so much focused on our little inside jokes that we totally forgot it was meant to be played by others than us :sweat_smile: . We will not touch this version of the game because that's what we came up with by the end of the game jam but I'm considering a rework for later. Thanks you for your feedback :pray:

HUN'S TABLE by thunderkerrigan 2021-10-06T14:03:29Z

@deav Glad you embrace the game's vibe :laughing:. the Tinder game is definitely too cryptic. We should have made some play tests sessions in this regards. The goal is to match all table related profiles while unmatching all others, making an error is an instant lose and you have to do that 3 times before the end of the 3 seconds timers. I really wonder why people don't understand this game at all... :thinking: :laughing: . Thank you for your feedback

HUN'S TABLE by thunderkerrigan 2021-10-06T17:13:41Z

@erikkire weird, I'll check that immediately and repush a new build. I think it's because I used the mono version of Godot Engine. I had a similar error when I built the iOS version. Sorry for the inconvenience

HUN'S TABLE by thunderkerrigan 2021-10-06T20:58:59Z

@ghatazorg haha Glad to know that somebody did finish the game at least once! :laughing: . Do you mean you deplete all 3 heart containers and the game still let you play? that's not intended indeed :thinking:

Divine Intervention by YogurtTheHorse 2021-10-06T10:29:24Z

Wow,that's impressive. Really digging the mood and the graphics. well polished, it's almost unbelievable that it was done over a week end. :thumbsup:

Divine Intervention by YogurtTheHorse 2021-10-06T13:57:14Z

@yogurtthehorse Oh come on man... I already felt ashamed but now that's just adding insult to injury ... :smile: congrats again :thumbsup:

Alche-Tea by loueee 2021-10-08T17:03:06Z

Chill experience but I was confused by the objective. Nonetheless it's well enough polished for a game jam game. I really want to try out a more polished version now :smile:

The Un's Stable by Kongo 2021-10-06T13:15:29Z

I love stumbling upon others team with similar worldsplay :smile:. cool game overall :thumbsup:

Panic! At the metro by valyagolev 2021-10-04T22:52:01Z

HI, Cool concept and idea. anxiety seems to play on the control a bit too much for my taste. the graphics are pretty cool and the change in the background while your anxiety is rising is a nice touch.

Wreckless Bar by XariusExcl 2021-10-05T19:11:09Z

Really fun mechanics! Love the mood given by the cat and the barman. I feel like the dropped objects are not visually cued enough time in advance. It makes the game a bit hard for my taste which is a shame because I really like it overall. congrats!

Unstable: Save a Herd of Horses by Alex Chertilin 2021-10-06T17:16:51Z

Hmmm I got stuck between a cage and a pump and could not move any more. Dig the graphics and cool mechanics.
