LD45 — Start with nothing

Nothing is the Key by Dubgron 2019-10-07T21:01:59Z

Really liked this, the puzzles are beyond my mortal keen but I really liked it, good homage to BaBa Is You.

Chase Champions by PietPtr 2019-10-07T20:19:39Z

This was awesome! Controls are a bit slippery but the theming was genius and hilarious.

Flubby Farm by yazara 2019-10-14T01:59:05Z

Such a good game! Very fun, very creative. You should keep developing this and put it on the app store, I think people would love it.

The Legend of Sky Stones by Iluvatar 2019-10-14T02:09:11Z

Loved the art, and very good callback to Sierra adventure games! Good work.

New start at N.O.T.H.I.N.G. Ltd. by Shigor 2019-10-08T23:39:36Z

Very fun, and much more substantial than it seemed at first.

Soulbound by ghost-in-the-toast 2019-10-07T22:54:56Z

The art and the sound design are great, but I really love the idea of a twin-stick shooter with an attack pattern that automatically plays and you modify on the fly!

BBBLZ TRBBLZ by smiley 2019-10-07T21:21:45Z

Very cool art and music, nice Cyberpunk vibe. I really struggled with the planting mechanic though.

King Conga by Tad 2019-10-07T20:33:28Z

King Conga was very delightful. Really enjoyed the art and the music, and the concept. I can't want to see future titles such as "Michael Crichton's Conga" about the murderous apes in the Congo who can only be stopped by their love of dance and Tim Curry's sesame cakes.

Neon OverDOSe by Don Fouts 2019-10-09T00:22:08Z

Such an amazing look to this! Very cool!

LD45 : We Started With Nothing by Captain Nakou 2019-10-14T01:49:56Z

I really enjoyed the art style, and appreciate the amount of work it took to put together a building sim in such a short time! Good work!

The Little Adventure for Slime by mimusangel 2019-10-07T19:43:50Z

I really enjoyed the aesthetic of this game, the 2.5d, low poly, very colorful and bright. The controls are a bit unresponsive, which makes some of the jumps difficult. And I would have really liked a checkpoint system, I was unable to clear the water obstacle, which would cause me to lose all of the progress up to that point.

Strange Adventure by randdir 2019-10-07T20:44:12Z

Great art and sound!

ARCADE GIRL by ROBOWARRIOR1982 2019-10-07T20:11:27Z

Loved the art and sound! It reminded me of old 90's PC games, like Commander Keen! I was able to get the 4-star ending with some finnagling, I do think you should tell people in the description about the BG Music mission selector, because until I read the comment from @burnedkirby I was kinda lost as to what to do. But I liked this, very relaxed and fun.

Spellchain by ixuz 2019-10-07T21:30:50Z

Good graphics, cool concept.

Knights vs Hobos by Kenarf 2019-10-07T19:54:17Z

I enjoyed this a lot, it was very funny and the art style was good. I agree with an earlier comment - I'd love to see something that could heal me. But this was very fun.

The Thrill of the Loan by TJMcDonald 2019-10-07T19:45:40Z

@kenarf We certainly will! Thank you for checking it out.

@polyethyleneglykol thank you for your comments!

The Thrill of the Loan by TJMcDonald 2019-10-07T20:30:23Z

@starvingindie There might be as many as three kinds of endings ;)

Summoning Soup by Digital_Pie 2019-10-08T23:50:36Z

Very good graphics and audio! The game was a bit much for my laptop but I liked what I got to play, especially when the apple tree came and gave me the business!

BNA Crystal Power by aDeCon 2019-10-07T22:31:07Z

Really enjoyed the art. Had a good time bodying skeletons into the dirt.

Alone by Fragment Games 2019-10-07T21:36:12Z

Really liked this, especially the art style. I felt like I was really close, but ended up dying close to (what I thought was) the end.

Escape the Minotaur by mrabnox 2019-10-09T01:21:30Z

Loved the atmosphere and the art! Very creepy and tense.

Rebuild of Edge by Twelvoo 2019-10-07T19:14:54Z

I like the art and the music, but the game is very confusing to me. At first I wasn't aware that I was controlling a character at all. Once I started moving around I got some of the tutorial to play, but I attempted to follow the instructions and couldn't make any progress. I was able to remove the collider on the box - I think - and disable the gravity on the trunks, but I was unable to make any forward progress after this point. It's a shame because I liked the idea.

OM The Word by Kisann 2019-10-07T19:05:47Z

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the game. It was rather evocative of emptiness, which definitely fit the theme. I liked it, and hope you guys had a lot of fun making it.
