LD54 — Limited Space

BLOCKIES by Ayxs 2023-10-15T08:56:14Z

Realy cool game ! (even if I'm realy bad at it ^^) The relaxing mood is an excelent choice I think. It could be tempting to put a stressful tone with a timer etc... but it works very well like that. The only down side I see is the pieces placement. Sometime there is room for a piece so your select it but you can't place it like you wanted because as far as I understand how it works, you snap one of the current piece's block on the mouse hovered bloc in the scene. But you can't predict/select which block of the current piece is the snaping one. But the concept works and that's what matters for a jam. Good job !

Waw ! This is the best ld54 game I played so far ! It's beautyful, cute and fun. The graphics, the sound, the design, everything fits! I had a bug at the end. I was stuck in the restart screen but it not prevented me to play. Very good interpretation of the theme. Good job !

The game seems really good. The graphics are simple but really efficient, polish and easy to read. Unfortunately, I have a strange bug that prevents me from playing. As soon as I use an action other than "move", the "move" action no longer works and I'm stuck. But reading the other comments tells me not everyone has the problem. 2 minor things: - With the windowed mode I cannot see the bottom of the screen - The .rar format is not open. It is better to use .zip when you want everyone to be able to access the file. Even though it is free for personal use, you are not always allowed to install winrar. The .zip format is natively supported almost everywhere.

Anyway, this is a good job !

Plunder Blunder by Roka Josh 2023-10-11T11:13:05Z

This is a really good job. The time is a bit short I think. I don't have the time to collect enough things for the sorting part to be actually demanding. This is a shame because it's the heart of the game for me. But it's just a ballancing thing. An idea I had while playing is giving items a value and a weight so that optimisation mechanics is not only based on the space, but also on the value and the order you collect thing (because of course, weight impact your move speed ;))

Plunder Blunder by Roka Josh 2023-10-11T17:19:26Z

@roka-josh Ok great I did not play enough to notice that. An idea to introduce this to the player could be using background color of the shapes to roughly indicate their value. You know the usual rpg loot scale {white = common, blue = rare, purple = epic, gold = legendary}.

I did not understood at first try than the grabber grabbed elements 4 by 4. As soon I had this information, I really enjoyed the game. Good job !

@shaun-meechan I'm glad you enjoyed it ! However audio, graphics and animations are from packs. I just tried to make a good integration of it. I hope I did not forget to opt-out from Audio and Graphics cathegories. Anyway thanks for playing.

@heuser Hehe thanks you ! Short deadline actually helped me not spending to much time on each feature. Without it I can easyly take 2 month juste on the camera and the character. But it depends on each person I suppose.

Z-Swarm by TurboTartine 2023-10-10T11:44:27Z

@troy-korns Actually I thought about that at start. But I never implemented it and as the developement progressed, I realized it would have been to easy to find the helicopter with a compass in such a small and simple level. But you're right if I keep working on the game, this is definitly a feature I need to implement. Thanks for the feedback

Z-Swarm by TurboTartine 2023-10-10T11:53:40Z

@kulmajaba Thanks you! That's true, the game is not well ajusted. Actually I expected the oposite. When I tested it I found it too hard to find the helicopter (so don't tell anyone, but I added a second helicopter on the other side of the map hehe). I'll have to work on that in the possible futur versions.

Z-Swarm by TurboTartine 2023-10-10T16:16:19Z

@griddolini Yeah ! I wanted the player to feel trapped in the alleys surrounded by the zombies and the only way to escape was dashing through them. That was my original interpretation of "Limited Space". But it's never like in your head haha. I never found the right tune to make it happen. Maybe a more scripted approche and a more specific level design can achieve this. But I admit the theme doesn't really shine as it is. I hope you liked it anyway.

Z-Swarm by TurboTartine 2023-10-10T16:17:55Z

@hengen Thanks for taking the time to play until the end. And glad you liked it!

Z-Swarm by TurboTartine 2023-10-10T16:24:35Z

@mein-kun There is no actual rounds or scoring in fact. The only goal is to find the way out (which is an helicopter waiting for you somewhere in the map). But no way you guess it unless you read the full description page (and it's normal to not doing so hehe). The game should say it. That's true. Thanks for your feedback.

Z-Swarm by TurboTartine 2023-10-12T10:41:08Z

@someone Hi ! Thanks for playing. And sorry you experienced that. It's odd, I never saw this one. I have to take a look. Thanks for the report. For the framerate it's possible, I capped the maximum zombie number but I made the game on a very powerfull device and did not took the time to test it on a smaller config. So I chose the numbrer a bit blindly. I'm curious, what is your config ? (just to know how far I'am from a decent optimization level)

Z-Swarm by TurboTartine 2023-10-15T09:56:30Z

@bredera Hi ! Thanks for playing and for the feedback ! Actually there is a laser pointer on the right click. While using a gamepad it shows up whenever you use the aim joystick. But for keyboard/mouse support it had no sens to use the mouseMoveEvent so I put it on the right click (which is less obvious).

Out of Side by happyglitch 2023-10-10T16:59:27Z

I had to look at the video because it is far to hard for me. I went to the first 3 wheels. The art is minimalist and wonderful (from someone how usually don't like pixel art). I secially loved the particles in the background and under the drone. Controls are very clean too. But god the first meters haha !!! I almost gave up at the first sequence of tiny doors. It would have been a shame because the next few parts after that were really satisfying. Maybe it's just because I'm very bad at this kind of games so feel free to ignore this feedback, but I would have removed those tiny doors and saved them for later in the game. Anyway, congrats, it's a good job !

Bloody Barrels! by Lucas Vaudaine 2023-10-11T11:19:14Z

Hi ! Seems fun ! Can you upload a .zip archive please ? :pray: I cannot install WinRar in my device.

The interpretation of the theme is just amazing! The mood is good too. I love the contrast between the music / graphics and the fact you play an absolute AS&$@#LE ^^. I think you've already thought about it, but a final screen showing your score based on your final happiness and maybe the damage done would be great.
