LD44 — Your life is currency

STR!PES by Geckoo1337 2019-05-02T02:37:39Z

I am a huge Super Hexagon fan, and this is a great clone! It _almost_ felt like the original, but the walls were a little tighter and unforgiving. It made the getting past the 18 mark on the scoring a little tough at first. I really liked this.

Blood Pressure by superpokeunicorn 2019-05-01T00:15:34Z

This is a cute game with a good idea. I noticed sometimes I couldn't turn right after shooting, which led me to shoot in the wrong direction a good amount. The visuals were fantastic and I loved the blood.

Sword of Hearts by MSiddeek 2019-05-01T00:00:14Z

The art is fantastic. The controls were a little 'eh' and it took a second to get a feel for the jumping. I really enjoyed this. The subtle audio was great. Nothing over the top.

Greenback by Finn Truman 2019-04-30T23:56:50Z

That is a fun game! During those boss battle I was definitely having to put some work in. The cutscenes good and the humour was enjoyable. Im shocked at how much was packed in with all the little time.

Spirits of the Unknown by TheSomeoneXD 2019-05-09T23:44:56Z

Cute story and cute graphics. I really enjoyed this.

Discharge by Arbosis 2019-04-30T02:54:19Z

I love the graphics! The robot is cute, and the concept was neat.

Dusty by jvolonte 2019-04-30T05:55:19Z

Great gameplay and great art. I really enjoyed this :)

The 7 Cents Deal by Probe31 2019-05-01T00:04:53Z

The art was great, gameplay was fun, and audio was fitting. This is such a cute game, and I really enjoyed this.

Dressed in Red by voidfishing 2019-05-01T00:10:08Z

I really liked the art on this. The page of the village was really neat, and I thought this was a well-done game.

Blood Quest by shaner421 2019-04-30T02:50:59Z

I thought the art was cute, and the music was great. I also had the character go invisible sometimes.

Peepo's Parlour by Team Kelly 2019-04-30T03:00:26Z

Wow!! I really liked that. The art and audio were great. The cut-scene in the beginning was the cherry on top.

Tetris: Tempo by Valid 2019-04-30T03:28:44Z

@cuppycat @longbowrocks @daspanjo @ayama Hi! Thank you so much for finding that issue. I pushed an update out that hopefully fixes it. It is our first time using Love2D and have found it to be sub-par when it comes to game distribution :( Let me know if this works!

Tetris: Tempo by Valid 2019-04-30T04:28:49Z

@daspanjo the leaderboard is online!

Tetris: Tempo by Valid 2019-04-30T04:30:17Z

@longbowrocks wow, thank you! You have made our night haha.

Tetris: Tempo by Valid 2019-04-30T04:30:34Z

@cuppycat thank you! I look forward to seeing your high score :)

Tetris: Tempo by Valid 2019-05-02T01:48:18Z

@davidsheadgames Hey thank you for that feedback! If you aren't a fan of 'W' for hard fall, you can rebind them from the menu or the pause menu. Thank you for that bug, I will take a look into it :) Additionally, I plan to fix the music this weekend. Thanks!

Tetris: Tempo by Valid 2019-05-03T20:24:13Z

@falak Hey, thats a new one! Thanks for finding that and including the stack trace. I'll take a peak into that this weekend. Thank you!

A Hill To Die On by longbowrocks 2019-04-30T05:41:19Z

I liked the scroll in the beginning as well! Did you enjoy using Unity? For your first Unity game with no experience, this is a good job. Good concept as well.

Rogue Money by ayama 2019-04-30T05:46:50Z

I liked the character and enemy art! The movement of the big hand was great and it reminded of Smash Melee. I enjoyed the beginning image that shows the controls.

Removed by Cuppycat 2019-04-30T05:32:51Z

EDITED: After a few restarts, I was able to exit the house! Wow! The art is stunning and the audio was great. I really enjoyed that background music. The concept was really cool, and on the first 'transformation' I couldn't help but say Woah. I liked it a lot!

Our Mechanical Life by qlqrcoisa 2019-05-09T23:48:22Z

I enjoyed when the sounds of grabbing the items lined up with the music almost. Interesting experience.

Face to Death by pequenodev 2019-05-01T00:17:31Z

The art looks great!

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Drill18^2 - This is Just a Drill by quill18 2021-04-26T05:32:13Z

Now thats a lot of cool card! Awesome work.

Fathom Pass by Listonos 2021-04-26T06:52:23Z

wow, what a great way to branch by using the remote and numbers. I also read ahead compared to the audio, but who doesn't do that? xD. Cool to see options striked out because of moral values as well as telling you when a branch ends the game. Good work!

D.N.N. Engineer by wujood 2021-04-26T21:38:00Z

Wow! There is some sweet polish on this. Level transitions are great. Nice fireworks at the end too! This was fun, good job.

Just Down Jack by joewan 2021-04-26T08:18:02Z

Sweet endless game. The controls felt pretty snappy

Deepest Sword by Strega 2021-04-27T06:21:36Z

Great game. I really enjoyed so many things about this. This really doesn't feel like a jam game, its just so polished and well done.

Jackhammer Uncle by good.enough 2021-04-27T05:07:58Z

Once i got used to the controls, i was flying and having a good time. Enjoyable experience, thanks.

Between the Lines by Markus 2021-04-27T18:46:10Z

Nice on getting that heroku app name hah. One suggestion would be to keep the screen tinted when you open up the journal, not just when your mouse is hovering over it. It was a little distracting seeing the screen tint change pretty fast by just moving my mouse. The lantern was awesome in the library, although a little distracting that it was movable when looking at a book. Great work from your team, thanks!

Oiligarch by dxk2294 2021-04-27T07:27:50Z

Wow -- This was great. I love this style of game and this would be fun to play if you both were to continue to work on it.

Bottomless Pitfall by emanvidmaker 2021-04-26T06:05:17Z

wow the art is impressive. 3D was great. Github link is 404

the sunken place by RomeRomey 2021-04-27T04:47:52Z

Awesome first game, congrats on finishing! Very subjective thing but I would have appreciated some WASD controls in addition to the arrows as opposed to just the arrow keys. Good job.

The Botanist by Tezza48 2021-04-27T05:12:55Z

You managed to make me feel panic the first time the little mushroom people were coming towards me! The hit sound was a little loud in my opinion. Cute game, thanks.

Penetrator Bombardment by rainysolar 2021-04-26T05:12:04Z

The art for this is great. Took a second to figure it out, but getting to that first firewall felt really good.

DeBlockhas by Sode 2021-04-26T06:25:28Z

Good work!

To the Core by Eric Smith 2021-04-26T06:21:06Z

That camera really contributed to the games feel. When you take longer to drill certain areas it felt so good. Chillary Stank is proud

Octopus Diver by Voxel Forest 2021-04-27T04:59:40Z

That really felt like we were under water! Good atmosphere and cute art.

Deep into the mine by BubakGames 2021-04-26T08:13:59Z

page is 404

Deep into the mine by BubakGames 2021-04-27T06:46:47Z

This was cute. The art was charming and I enjoyed the gunplay.

Penguins can't fly by Attala 2021-04-27T04:18:10Z

That was challenging! Great music

The Deep Web by William Corrin 2021-04-26T07:16:36Z

Great work. Also highly recommend the windows build after trying both. I found the acceleration sound to be a little loud, but everything else was top notch work. Those tracks were great.

Deeper-Geddon by heidelbert 2021-04-27T01:44:58Z

This was a well built game and I loved the factory building.

Catharsis by Fersyvanderzee 2021-04-26T07:11:20Z

Thank you for this! Good atmosphere and message. Going from the dark scene to a white scene was hard on the eyes, but the message was worth it!

Chuck Yeager's Jet Janitor by Shawn Moore 2021-04-26T05:36:34Z

I liked the audio! Good art, it felt personal. The screen shake was pretty aggressive though! Good work :) I also used phaser!

Bus Crawl by Valid 2021-04-26T05:49:35Z

@ubershmekel thank you for this! I really agree about the strategic tension and enjoy that word(s) for it. Love the picture.

Bus Crawl by Valid 2021-04-26T06:15:26Z

@rhoff95 starting from the edge and working inwards would have been a great idea and application to the theme... xD Thanks for playing!

Bus Crawl by Valid 2021-04-26T06:53:34Z

@peace-of-cake-games i love the pic. Making the algorithm put in work hah!

Bus Crawl by Valid 2021-04-26T07:33:39Z

Thanks for those ideas @listonos , they would make the game much more dynamic and rewarding. If I were to expand this I would definitely steal that :)

Bus Crawl by Valid 2021-04-27T04:39:06Z

@shawn-moore thank you for the audio recommendations, I will definitely look into those!

Bus Crawl by Valid 2021-04-28T20:42:21Z

@exewin good catch, its actually because i forgot to add an on-ramp that was close to those neighborhoods :( If you look at the graph in the description you can see that going through there would be such a long path as it would have to go all the way to the left to get onto the freeway. Oh well, live and ya learn! Thanks for playing.

Dig World by kuviman 2021-04-30T00:35:35Z

impressive work. Awesome stuff

Toxic pong by CDKML 2021-04-26T08:03:59Z

I liked the music in this!

The Bothnia Trench by Milestone Games 2021-04-27T04:25:56Z

Great mood and music. Lovely point and click experience

Deep Fried Pancake! by Inka McAtee 2021-04-26T08:11:53Z

Fun game, i enjoyed this. Love the leaderboard

Hellevator by baconn00 2021-04-26T07:51:04Z

The drawing was great. Im interested in how you detect when a spell is drawn correctly from a technical perspective.

Where is Bob by ubershmekel 2021-04-26T06:34:47Z

Agree with the others, good game with good sound and mechanics.

Scatter Gold by Sthealthinator 2021-04-26T07:41:49Z

Good game! Noticed the missiles don't fire when they're off screen but otherwise smooth experience.

Afraid to Turn by rhoff95 2021-04-26T05:03:11Z

great parallax going on with the trees. The transition of your character looked great as well.

OVERDRILLED by everedx 2021-04-27T05:52:29Z

Fantastic entry. The art is great and that audio was nice as well. The game was a little tough to figure out but I was primarily in awe of the product that was made in only 72 hours!

Aftermath by Peace Of Cake Games 2021-04-26T06:02:07Z

haha i love that splashscreen and that flicker effect is sick. Great atmosphere. One problem i had was the text felt very close together and a little hard to read, other than that it was great.

GHOS by FlippingKun 2021-04-26T07:44:24Z

Fun experience with a great soundtrack behind it. The physics were fun to play with.

Magic Forest by RuslanCH 2021-04-26T06:42:18Z

Nice work! I also got a little dizzy by the end. Maybe it was the speed of the background? Not sure. Thanks for the game!

R.E.M. - Vocab Nightmare by Smooches 2021-04-27T05:05:00Z

What a great idea. This definitely got hard and had me thinking. My longest word was only xylophone lol.

DeepRoots by GoodMan233 2021-04-26T04:55:01Z

Great puzzling and I really like the art. Love the pico-8 use as well!! One minor thing is instead of "You are stucked", it would be "You are stuck.". Good job!

DeepRoots by GoodMan233 2021-04-26T05:48:28Z

@goodman233 your English is great!

I'm So Deep by liammasters 2021-04-27T05:16:37Z

Cool game and execution of a unique concept.

Moss Light by Zykra 2021-04-27T05:00:41Z

always enjoy TD games. Good spin and good job!

Mystical Island by azakharov 2021-04-26T07:28:46Z

I enjoyed this, thanks. The explore button was a little hard to notice at first but it worked out.

into the past by ty_ 2021-04-27T07:50:29Z

Nice art with a deep message. Thanks for the game, definitely could see more content being added.

Deep Sleep by Hayden Wyatt 2021-04-27T05:33:51Z

This was fun, I beat it :) That last level took a second to get! Good puzzles in there and a great use of the clouds.

Into the Deep by Adam K 2021-04-27T05:43:56Z

I liked the amount of upgrades available, the difficulty, and that seaweed. A little cleanup on the graphics and UI side would have been nice, but the game at its core is solid. Great work and congrats for completing your first game jam.

A Deep Trip by Calimeraw93 2021-04-26T08:15:01Z

what a trip! looks sweet.

Sid by Stuartc 2021-04-27T05:27:30Z

Great idea, I was left wanting more! Felt satisfying to get it.

48 Tons by Scruffylooking2121 2021-04-27T05:38:55Z

"Attempted loan fraud" - haha! This is fun, and I liked when the text had some pauses on it. Gave the text a whole different dimension.

Find The Page! by Rouge_dragon 2021-04-27T04:38:07Z

Big fan of this game. I love the wikipedia speed running and this puts it all into a nice package.

Ocean Crowd by Kustav 2021-04-26T07:19:54Z

Good game! The art was good and moving that school of fish was fun. It felt rewarding the first time i juked out one of the other fish.

Sleepy Trouble by Stevi60 2021-04-27T07:16:47Z

This is very impressive! The art is gorgeous, I liked the lever sound effect and the controls felt good. The tutorial at the start was great as well.

SUBERDEEP by sendnoose 2021-04-27T07:09:25Z

Really enjoyed the art. Such a cute whale in the back there. I agree that some were hard to dodge. Thanks for this!

Dig Deep by GiantWaffle 2021-04-26T08:00:11Z

Sweet game. The hitbox on the power was a little tiny but i got used to it. Thanks!

Not The Urchins! by Cammin 2021-04-26T05:43:31Z

The mood of this felt great. Lightning was pretty.

Deeper Caverns by Quartzified Studios 2021-04-27T04:15:49Z

Very cute game! Lovely art and mechanics

Surface by lb01 2021-04-27T04:33:22Z

Truly a gem. This was fantastic. That song was also awesome. Audibly said woah when I first started playing.

Deeper and Diner by Yuzu 2021-04-26T07:05:41Z

Good game! The later floors were pretty dark. The company notebook was awesome and really well done.

Hide In The Dungeon by crowvax 2021-04-26T06:12:58Z

Wow, what an achievement! Seriously -- that knife felt sweet. My only complaint is that it automatically opened in fullscreen. I prefer being in charge of that but the great art and mood more than made up for it :P

Lost Shrimp by Falcon_Lc 2021-04-26T05:08:17Z

Nice work! Once i got used to the controls it was a lot funner. Those were some tight hitboxes that were sometimes hard to hit with what felt like screen shake. Fun game.
