LD45 — Start with nothing

Behaviour Engineer by pschichtel 2019-10-08T10:55:40Z

I understand the basic commands, but the child nodes were beyond me. Maybe a bit more explanation would help. Otherwise, a very nice idea for a game.

Beet-hoven by jamioflan 2019-10-08T08:12:45Z

Nice game! It controls very smoothly and the voices and sounds effects are great. The veggie graphics are impressive considering the development time.

I unlocked the fourth patch, but could not find anyone interested in a four-flavour pie... was I just not looking hard enough?

Also I managed to glitch out of the map in the bottom-right, but I got back in via the bottom-left.

Lawless Island by Swynfel 2019-10-16T09:33:40Z

neat game, I had a good time until the trousers killed me. I could not find the black stuff to make the metal of honour...

A Hundred Years of a Tree by Hexcolyte 2019-10-08T11:56:15Z

An enjoyable little game. It needs more ways to interact though.

The Beginning by GlintGames 2019-10-08T12:04:42Z

I enjoyed the first few levels. However the first area with the red spikes was too difficult for me.

No pants Wizard by agar3s 2019-10-08T17:16:56Z

Very fun game. I especially like the graphics, it reminds me of adventure time.

Little Nothing Adventure by Siarhei Pilat 2019-10-08T08:32:02Z

It looks cool, but how do I win / what is the goal?

VaultSmith by DigitalLimestone 2019-10-08T09:05:17Z

Once you get used to the attack move it is pretty enjoyable. The music was also nice.

It would be nice if crafted items were immediately effective.

Chicken Nothing by sillyman987 2019-10-08T10:43:35Z

A bare-bones incremental game, not bad. I was impressed by the animation on the player legs.

One possible improvement would be to show the price to buy a chicken and a coop.

Sentience by Alxertion 2019-10-08T09:41:31Z

Very solid gaming, and amazing sound design! I liked the pacing of the game.

Cyber Tails by ChivaTateo 2019-10-10T09:54:44Z

It look cool, but everything happens too fast to react. The best tactic I found was to spam LMB.

Skelebro by Redimension Games 2019-10-10T10:08:40Z

Very solid platformer. I also liked the music and the main character art. You should open the audio category as a voting option imo.

Trying to kill the moving enemies did not seem worth it, as jumping over them was always easier.

LD46 — Keep it alive

Lost Goblins by pndaa 2020-04-21T12:56:30Z

R.I.P 27 goblins. Though in my defense they were -very- stupid. Very fun game! One way to improve it would be to make it clear what levers and doors connect to without the trial and error.

Keep THEM Alive by ItzJoJo 2020-04-21T18:40:00Z

Nice to see a fellow Godot user :smile: I liked the sprite art, especially the cute companions. I could not finish it though, because the skeletons always got one hit in before I could hit them.

Keep The Power Plant Alive by rich 2020-04-20T14:44:50Z

I tried to play it, but I could not build any Poles... what am I doing wrong?

Candy's Dream Egg by CosmicCrystalGames 2020-04-21T12:45:29Z

Best game I played so far! Very charming, nice amount of levels, great style! Takes me back to my classic Gameboy days :smile:

Carrying the egg around reminded me of my entry, though mine isn't as polished as this one. If you are interested, check it out here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/eggcuse-me

Wordbound by SpaceGuy99 2020-04-20T14:35:46Z

Interesting idea, and well executed! The time is a little too fast for me, so I had to keep most sentences to 3 words to stay alive. I would suggest making an easy mode for those of us who type slowly. Great game though!

Uptime? Nope. by ygrichman 2020-04-21T12:09:13Z

Works well, and is pretty fun! Balance is a bit off imo, since you have so much money there is no reason not to continuously buy new parts.

Darkness Draws Near by GibsS 2020-04-20T20:31:36Z

Excellent game! Good mix of resource management and action. Feels very fair, even if you lose.

Prophet by marcell-balog 2020-04-21T12:25:15Z

Very nice game! Pretty chill, but satisfying.

I found a bug however: When I bought the first 'second row' upgrade, I clicked it twice. On the second click, it removed the cost again, and my scrap went into the negative digits. I could keep clicking it to keep detracting scrap.

Ice Ice Baby by Fabrizio Spadaro 2020-04-20T10:41:10Z

Fun game, very challenging. Starts slow, but the final levels were great! I liked the cute ice-cube.

Frictionless by Agent_Jo 2020-04-21T11:44:55Z

Is it intentional that you are moving to the left by default? Made it quite hard to control. Otherwise the game is pretty fun.

Perpetual Motion by gabtoschi 2020-04-21T16:34:13Z

Nice idea for a card game! Will definitely save this for later. Bit hard to playtest during a pandemic though :sweat_smile:

The jumping red cube by Vrglab 2020-04-20T10:47:17Z

I agree with @peto184 that a more zoomed-out camera would make the game more playable. I liked the intro music :smile:

Eggscuse me! by ToC 2020-04-21T10:58:34Z

Thanks for the responses so far! I love hearing your thoughts on the game. If you made it to the end, please let me know. I am worried that I made it too difficult/unclear.

@agegorin Thanks for the feedback! If you mean the slight acceleration/deceleration of the character movement: this was done intentionally, to make sure that traps are not too easily avoided.

@team-prosit Thank you for the kind words :smile: Some solutions are hidden, and can be found by poking around the corners/dead ends.

Don't Blow It by Teun de Vries 2020-04-20T12:19:51Z

Works well in fullscreen mode. Very creepy vibe, with both the art and the music, well done!

Cold Front by chrismcco 2020-04-21T10:53:02Z

Solid entry, works well. The AI was not really challenging though. Would be great if you could do local multiplayer.

Protector by khopa 2020-04-20T11:18:10Z

I have not seen an NES entry to LD before, very interesting. There is a bit of a learning curve but once you get the feeling for it, very fun. Gets very hectic for me after the first 20 virusses.

Experiment #31415 - The Takeover by RedSponge 2020-04-20T11:08:45Z

Enjoyable game! Jumping between people is a lot of fun. With the inclusion of a tutorial, it really feels like a complete package. If only real diseases were so easy to kill :laughing:

Monstrous Affection by PatateNouille 2020-04-20T12:15:00Z

Controls very smoothly, and it looks great! I could not get past the second level though. I'm not great at time-management :laughing:

Organ Simulator by mneubrand 2020-04-20T20:21:51Z

I like it. When the intestines turned on my brain turned off :laughing:.

LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Goofy Goose by rootools 2020-10-06T08:20:13Z

Chill game, nice break from all the action games. Everything from the sound to the graphics to the movement was really funny to me. Great job!

Trajectory by KaisenTheGreatOne 2020-10-06T08:40:02Z

I finished it after many tries. Great fun!

The Guardian by CsOmega 2020-10-10T10:11:19Z

Fun Game, kept me entertained for a good 10 minutes. After that my mouse finger started to cramp :P. Shooting while holding down LMB help a lot with that.

Stuck in a planet by Ethery 2020-10-06T08:29:51Z

The game worked fine for me. Running around the planet is fun for a while, but after a few levels it is a bit repetitive. Looks great though!

Return 0; by IkerNoya 2020-10-05T23:10:53Z

Killed the boss on the third try... pretty though, but good fun!

FORNAX-11 by politecoy 2020-10-05T23:24:11Z

I liked the game a lot, very solid entry!

I did find the debug button for creating a box, might want to remove that from the build: debugbox.png

Hanrick Hornigold and the Amazing Toothbrush of Liberty by Squidzilla 2020-10-06T08:13:45Z

As someone who has not played many text adventures before, I definitely got stuck in a loop. Got a bit tired of seeing 'can't do that'. More hints as to what to do would be great.

LD50 — Delay the inevitable

The volcano woke up ! by Yamzho 2022-04-12T09:33:20Z

Neat game, I made it to turn 29 before the forest inevitably burned down. Well Done!

Rocket Rally by fueelin 2022-04-12T09:39:16Z

Once I found the R button restarts the level, pretty fun little platformer. If the rockets are only used for jumping, why even have an aim direction? Wouldnt you always want to aim down? The level with the big pit and three bouncy balls seemed to be the last one, as the exit door did not work here.

Tantric Adventurer by bucketh3ad 2022-04-17T07:26:49Z

Cool idea for a twin stick shooter! Some more feedback on hitting the enemies would be nice, but I understand that some things have to be dropped for a compo :smile:

Untitled Lobster Game by CursedEmbassy 2022-04-12T10:11:44Z

I liked that it had a theme song, and the voice acting was great!

Gameplay wise, it was a bit bare-bones. Fun experience though.

Sunday Traffic by Mads 2022-04-05T07:56:48Z

The music lures you into a false sense of security, as the amount traffic rapidly escalates, and no amount of nukes can save you. I liked the design of the little planet a lot, and the gameplay was nice and simple.

Overall, great entry!

Get Out Me Dungeon! by BlooAlain 2022-04-12T10:23:19Z

Very satisfying and fun to play. The different equipment added a fun tactical choice. I made it to the 20th level.

Sweet Dreams TD by OwlyCode 2022-04-13T10:48:10Z

Challenging at first, but as others have said, the towers outscale the enemies. Fun to play!

Gerascophobia by aZamBie 2022-04-05T09:04:32Z

For those trying this game, the lab equipment is behind the door. Only one of the door works with the key, and you open it by kinda rubbing the key against the knob.

I then put two flasks on what I assume to be the lab equipment, and the game crashed :(

I liked the movement and finding all the flasks hidden around the map.

Rage Against The Cocoon by JoeDev 2022-04-05T09:16:35Z

Amazing character controller, really impressive. The dialog was funny and the music suitably relaxing.

Crawling upside down gets a bit wonky, and I managed to get myself stuck until I got the wings. From then on it was smooth sailing ;)

Department Of Demise by Crychair 2022-04-05T07:41:11Z

Looks and sounds great! Especially the voice acting really makes it stand out.

Had some trouble figuring out the mechanics, even with the nice infograph. I quit the game before I ran out of lives, as it felt like I was not working towards anything. In a full game perhaps you could break up the gameplay into work-days of 10 rounds?

Department Of Demise by Crychair 2022-04-05T20:28:30Z

@crychair I stopped around round 15 or so, and it was getting harder for sure. I just felt like I needed a break, or something to look forward to. Perhaps the plate-spinning style of game just isnt my jam :p

What Have You Drawn? by MrPouletBZH 2022-04-05T08:38:47Z

Unlocking progression by becoming more vulnerable is an interesting mechanic! I enjoyed it a lot.

Desert trip by Dreamerflow 2022-04-12T09:44:23Z

First game I saw that was made with Blender! The cutscene worked, and the game did start, but I could only see the UI, not the desert. Unfortunately, because I was really interested to see the game.

Dawn of the Karen by BougieBirdie 2022-04-05T08:48:48Z

Nooooo! The tower of cans that I so meticulously stacked T_T

Great game, I enjoyed it a bunch!

Some variation on the enemy 'death' sound effect would be good, it got a bit grating (or perhaps that was intended?)

Inevitable Seige by Hawke Games 2022-04-12T10:06:00Z

I liked it! The music and the sound effect fit well, and the gameplay loop felt solid. Things I would improve: - Make the buttons at the bottom clickable with the mouse - Make the game easier at the start, so you get to build up a nice defense, before you become overwhelmed - Add a different offensive tower

Overall, a fun game!

LD53 — Delivery

Air Delivery by pianoman373 2023-05-02T19:22:28Z

I don't know what PICO-8 is, but I love the style of this game!

Space Express by gmaker 2023-05-04T19:12:32Z

I absolutely adore the music, that kept me playing for quite a bit! It was a bit hard for me to get past the third screen though. Maybe a checkpoint system would help with this?

Arcana Express by Joe Cowman 2023-05-04T16:09:43Z

I liked the concept, it reminded me a bit of Magicka. I wish I could cast the spell from memory, without having to press 1, 2 or 3 first. Beating it felt pretty satisfying, so good job on the difficulty!

Mya's Pizza by bobo_oh 2023-05-05T20:07:50Z

That was really fun! And I adored the design of the game. I got until 130 orders before I missed one too many. I did get one bug where the cook upgrade menu and the new hire menu were overlapping

Multiverse Delivery Inc. by yoanndeplo 2023-05-05T19:10:04Z

Cool concept! I can tell you put a lot of effort into the mechanics. It feels it bit too easy with the bomb and airstrike, even in hard mode. Great for a LD game

Ultimate Pigeon Post by Yorsh 2023-05-05T19:53:55Z

Solid speedrunning game! Not really my jam, as I couldnt really get the hang of it, but thats on me. I really loved the art for the enemies

Beelivery by Jejkobb 2023-05-04T18:42:42Z

I loved it! Getting the hang of swinging the jar over the obstacles was fun. And the forgiving checkpoints really helped. Thank you for making this :D

The Souls Express by antvelm 2023-05-05T20:32:15Z

What a beautiful game! I really like visiting all the stations. The gameplay wasn't really for me, but I appreciate the artistry that went into this

Parcel Dunk by OwlyCode 2023-05-04T19:27:50Z

That was a good time! I like the different mechanics you added to keep the levels fresh.

Delivery by Fragment Games 2023-05-04T15:55:01Z

Very atmospheric. The music really gave it that creepy vibe! I didnt really feel like I was protecting the cargo, as the enemies all went for me. It was a nice little experience

Pancake Day by Martin183 2023-05-05T19:01:00Z

Good game! Controlling 2 trucks was doable, 3 was too much for me. Good call implementing the high scores, that really matches well with the game.

Shattered Reflections by Perrin 2023-05-04T16:31:30Z

That was great! I managed to solve both of them on my first try :) It felt tense, because of the music in combination with the visuals. Good job!

Pizza Puzzle by Paroxysmal 2023-05-05T19:19:36Z

I like the old-school art style and the 8-bit sfx. In some of the levels, it did not feel possible to get alll the slices. How do you get the boxes out of the corners?

Peggy's Post by suvi 2023-05-05T19:44:55Z

Fun game! But I was not very good at it. I always seemed to get more packages than I had room for in the boat! Not sure what I was doing wrong. I liked that it didn't have a timer, and I could take my time to figure out the postage and stuff.

Guns and Toads: Battle for delivery by GeoBlackrU 2023-05-05T19:31:37Z

Solid game! Kept me entertained for quite a bit, and the delivery mechanic feels like a logical addition to the surviver style game.

Return to sender by Katya Pavlenko 2023-05-04T18:58:30Z

Great atmosphere. A short and sweet point and click mystery. lovely art and music as well

Purrfect Delivery by Mashiro 2023-05-04T16:05:46Z

Really fun little game! I loved the classic windows XP look. Controlling the cats got pretty intuitive after a few rounds. This game really benefits from the full-screen option, which I first had to find. If I had one gripe, it would be that the windows shut down button doesnt actually exit the game.

Purrfect Delivery by Mashiro 2023-05-04T16:35:23Z

That makes sense! Not sure what I was expecting to happen in a browser game

Postal Pandemonium by dprings7 2023-05-04T19:41:09Z

An ending to the game would be great, otherwise it just fizzles out at some point. Pretty fun for a bit tho!

Light My Fire by Crygos 2023-05-05T18:53:33Z

Really fun game with just the right amount of challenge. The sounds effects and art were great.

Machine Meltdown by Stefan Funke 2023-05-02T20:38:22Z

Great art, fun boss fight! I agree with some of the others that contact damage doesn't feel quite right. I wish that dieing at the boss would put you back after the dialog, not before.

Bullet Worm by resacaGames 2023-05-05T20:58:12Z

The movement felt a bit off, like I was playing with some latency. It looks fun, but the turning rate just didnt work for me.

Croc Crate Consignment by aschab 2023-05-04T18:48:04Z

Pretty Fun! I liked the crocodile giving me the instructions.

Another World Hero Delivery Service by AntonyMo 2023-05-02T20:09:22Z

Great game, love the art and the gameplay! I can't believe you built a whole city :D

Parcel Panic by Amheklerior 2023-05-05T20:52:35Z

I really like one button games, and this one is one of my favourites! What a great song, and the art really told a story. Thanks you for making this!

Pack It Up by thomaspixelart 2023-05-05T20:44:19Z

Great pixel art, I especially liked the facial expression at the end of the game xD

LD55 — Summoning

Slimeleon by icxon 2024-04-16T08:09:57Z

Well done, very enjoyable game. As @the-neon-shark mentioned, there is not much reason not to spam your biggest dude, especially since that was the easiest shape to draw for me. There was also nothing stopping me from spamming new summons :laughing: Perhaps a magic meter that automatically recharge could work here.

Demon Dayz by Ntimi 2024-04-16T15:48:50Z

Great fun! Really liked the character design and the banter between the lich and the demon :laughing: I also appreciate how you get to restart the level instead of going back to stage 1.

Fiend-Zone by gord10ahmet 2024-04-16T15:30:26Z

Fun game, had to retry a few times to beat it. As other have mentioned, the hitboxes seem a bit too big for the sprites, which can be misleading

Blood, Sweat and Seals by Achiru 2024-04-30T20:31:58Z

Nice game, I liked that you had to discover the other summons, though a hint at some point would have been appreciated.

Ancestral by deformhead 2024-04-21T10:11:27Z

Solid little game. The character controls well and the core gameplay is solid. Would have played more if the game was longer.

Felonossa by FabiGhindaru 2024-04-16T10:54:33Z

Interesting game, very unique. I liked the vibe of it, but couldn't quite figure out what to do. The music was very calming :slight_smile:

Demanager by satacat 2024-04-21T10:34:50Z

I enjoyed figuring out the game without the tutorial. Really unique, fun gameplay. The art and sound is also amazing. Overal a great package! I do not agree with the other comment that thinks getting it wrong should have a harsher penalty. I think it felt fair to lose some time, but allows you to continue guessing. That helped me understand the game more.

The Royal Writ by Save Sloth Studios 2024-04-16T10:13:04Z

Really blown away by this game, very polished and I adore the art style.

One thing that only became clear to me later was that units deal damage to the enemies defenses while they are on the field, not just when they are at the enemy castle. Perhaps that can be made more clear (Or I just read over it :sweat:)

Could definitely see myself play a full release of this game :thumbsup:

Grishnek Legacy by D0vid 2024-04-16T10:27:21Z

I had a lot of fun with this game. The combination of DDR-style button presses with drawing the glyphs works surprisingly well. Using a tablet helps a lot with the drawing, I had a hard time doing it with a mouse.

I did find out that just putting any small line inside the glyph shapes counts as a success, you do not need to draw the whole shape. This made the game a lot easier, but it felt like cheating :smirk:.

I made it to wave 16 that way. does the game have a final wave or is it endless?

Demonic Fridge and Vegetables From Hell by 7uc4s 2024-04-16T15:56:36Z

I got chickens from apples, rats from chicken and green skull from eggplant. Then I got a steak that spawned all three previous enemies. I couldn't get anything past that :confused: Am I missing something?

TANKZ by Funday Games 2024-04-16T09:50:39Z

Fun game, and it looks very shiny! First try I got backdoored hard on wave 4. Second try I made it to the last wave, but I did not stand a chance :cry: I had most upgrades, so perhaps that one was a bit overtuned :thinking:
