LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Beach Breach by eonarheim 2022-04-07T03:11:19Z

This game is soooo fun and addictive, I really liked the art style, and the music complements the game really well.... This game feels so polished for example when I tried to place a tower over a turtle I got a red X instead of a tower which already shows how polished this game is, anyways funny idea, good game !

RogueTime by shared 2022-04-07T02:27:01Z

I dont know why but this game is super fun, something about it is so simple yet so good! The mechanics of the main character feel sooo smooth and it just makes the experience a whole lot nicer :))

Coffee Run by jelch 2022-04-07T14:12:16Z

Very solid game, although I wish there would've been more instructions

HOLYYYYY COWWW (reference to my game lol) anyways, this game is incredible seriously I loved it so much!

Fire Escape by Dj Depressive 2022-04-07T13:46:19Z

I really liked the game - although sometimes I ran into objects on the ground that I had trouble seeing - I feel like you should make it more clear when you can't go somewhere, but IDK it's just a personal opinion...

Bonanananza by shieldgenerator7 2022-04-07T02:22:18Z

The game feels really smooth to play, with all the main menu transitions and everything!! Overall very nice :thumbsup:

The pc stuff feel so smooth for some reason I love it!!

Salvos by magus77 2022-04-07T12:59:48Z

I like the art, but I was kinda confused on where to go, some of the art was very clippy and weird, but overall nice game :thumbsup:

Farm Defender by Lakea 2022-04-07T13:08:42Z

Pretty fun little game, I LOVED the voices when you play towers, but it took me a while to figure out how to play...

Boss Rush: Tibbs Under Fire! by Wilson Taylor 2022-04-07T13:38:06Z

THIS GAME IS AMAZING!!!! I LOVE IT - movement feels so flowy and nice, the animations are high quality and its so ADDICTIVE!

Childhood by Paulsams 2022-04-07T12:56:21Z

Very nice gameplay, I feel like the art is really confusing sometimes, I got confused on where I was supposed to go sometimes.. Apart from that I like the fact that there is a lot of content to this game....

Detective Game by NestRai 2022-04-07T03:14:53Z

The game feels so smooth

PopCat Hoover Disaster by OrangeDragon 2022-04-07T13:50:12Z

Very good game, although some objects were impossible to reach, also sometimes the vacuum just got instant speed for no reason... Overall I had a lot of fun with it...

Bald Dad tries not to die by Re-Lo 2022-04-06T20:39:59Z

WOW AMAZING GAME!!! The polished version is so good!!! But the Ludum Dare version has a glitch where I can't use my melee attack :((

Say Something by Andreia 2022-04-07T14:27:41Z

THE GAME IS SOO SMOOTH

Mine 54 by Locke8 2022-04-06T20:34:39Z

Very nice game, loved the music i only wish that there was a tutorial... I spent a while trying to learn how to play....

Forest Guardian by svemir 2022-04-06T19:52:02Z

I love the way the dragon looks, the gameplay feels so smooth and simple !!!! Love the game

Boxed In by FatiguedFox 2022-04-07T12:48:48Z

I think this game is a very simple, but very FUN game! I like this idea, I think you should add abilities or something to spice up this game, because after a while it got a bit repetitive.

THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL THE SUPPORT, <33333!!! I just want to reply to some feedback comments:

"The only thing I’m missing is a healthbar for the bomb" @noiyy - the bombs has a fuse that goes down with time, although I'm not 100% sure it's the best indicator, at least it's something...

"The cows towers don't do a lot" @chocolat-endive , @sjpixels - that is a problem we encountered when making the game, we didn't want the bomb to "evolve" quickly and we also didn't want to cows to be OP, and that's just how it turned out to be... Although we will probably be making an "after jam" version of the game while taking into consideration all of these nice comments <333.

"Why didn't you make it so that you could place towers with your mouse??" @sjpixels - placing towers with the mouse would've been cool although we thought it would be better if the player would feel like the UFO instead of some outside source or something...

"Leaving the cow spawn area is difficult because you always end up taking a lot of cows" @sjpixels - this is also an issue we encountered, sometimes its difficult to leave the cow area to when wanting to place towers, we have tried to make it so that there is a keybind to do it: but it just didn't feel as flowy as we wanted it to feel... Now that I think about it we should've made a toggle for picking up cows.....

"I did experience a visual bug after a while where the previous black explosion effect (soot?) left on the road would start to disappear as the bomb moved across the path." @roitchie - That was intentional so if a player got a very good score, it wouldn't start to lag out his game...

P.S. We will continue to update this comment when new suggestions arrive so that we can better improve are game, and here is the list of the stuff that we are gonna change:

- We will add a health bar for the bomb as it is a better indicator than the fuse going down... - We will add a keybind to toggle off and on the option for abducting cows.... - We will also be fixing the tutorial(which we know was really bad ;-;), we didn't have much time so we just scraped a tutorial on that game and called it a day :)) - We will try to add mobile controls so we can add it to mobile - because it feels like a mobile game :)))

Thank you all for all the support seriously it makes this journey of making a game WAYYYYY better, I hope yall have a nice day !!!! :DDD

UFOTag by Useless Fish 2022-04-07T02:33:10Z

@paulhocker There is a tutorial that explains everything, it's very unpolished but it should make you understand everything. If not you can look at our description where you will be able to see a "Brief explanation on the game" section where it should explain everything.... Hope this helps

UFOTag by Useless Fish 2022-04-07T12:45:21Z

More feedback from all of you, thank you guys so much !!!

Problems:

- "The cow gathering is too slow" @exevirus - We will try to make cow gathering faster and more "fluider" but we already did something that will make the game faster the longer you play it...

Stuff we will fix not including stuff I already wrote in my last response:

- We will do better optimizations. @fffchai - Change the place keybind from F to E. @yukimiitsuka - Try to make the cow gathering faster and better.

Thank you all so much for playing our game it really means so much to us <33!
