LD44 — Your life is currency (7)

NecroBlood by Little Valhalla 2019-05-16T17:53:32Z ♥ 1

I like the game, but have some issues with the balance of the game.

Packs of warriors that spawn literally mows down everything. I think that the way the game's designed, warriors are overpowered no matter how slow they are because of how they can gather together and mow down everything you summon because they are so tanky that they stay on the field, deals insane damage, spawns quite frequently, and because of how resilient they are, warriors from behind will eventually catch up and continue building a literal warrior "wall" towards you that's basically impossible to break. Even with their lower attack speed, since they seem to love coming in packs, this disadvantage is immediately mitigated by the sheer number of warriors that march, allowing of them to lay strikes one at a time, killing literally everything. No matter what I summon (army of skeletons, zombies, vamps), they seem to mow down everything no matter what.

Your summons also spend too much time doing nothing but standing around while nearby summons fight despite being extremely close. This allows for packs of enemies (especially warriors) to pick out your summons one by one very easily. Perhaps make them a bit more aggressive? Also the fact that warriors can literally one-shot the most expensive unit doesn't feel very fair. I know vampires can drain HP and thus a bit harder to balance, but with all their cost and the frequency of warriors that somehow appear in packs, it's bit ridiculous how all of them die off the very moment a pack of warriors (which spawns very frequently) come along in my opinion. The other units don't fair much better either against warrior packs, but at least they can somewhat last a bit before being inevitably trampled by warrior walls.

Apart from these, this game's pretty good and the idea is pretty neat. Balancing needs quite a lot of work, but apart from that, good job.

Lifelight by Kromzem 2019-05-16T15:35:11Z ♥ 1

Pretty good game. I do believe that there needs to be a clearer indication of HP. For some reason, sometimes, enemy HP feels like they increased drastically at times, but I'm not sure whether that's my imagination or there's a function that causes that. The graphics are really nice. Good game overall.

Galaxy Explorer by jondalnas 2019-05-14T00:42:51Z ♥ 1

I like this game. However, the right-click button seems to not work very well-kinda forces you to restart the game after you press it, since the rocket silos don't come with their own rocket ships. I like how each of the buildings have key roles and their own place on each planet. That said, perhaps you should make the view zoomable, or perhaps include a very expensive teleport function in the future to warp between planets, haha. Nice work.

Game of Fields by jkniest 2019-05-12T18:41:24Z ♥ 1

At first I didn't like the fact that the randomness plays a huge role in who wins in the game-until I found out that since all the rolls are affected by the landscape and begins relative to the screen's position, if I zoom in/out and then make the roll either in between the zooming or after the zoom, I can adjust where the dice would hit on the terrain, which actually lead to my first win against the AIs, haha. I would like a fast foward button though.

Swords and Kreatures by Ausstein 2019-05-07T03:09:37Z ♥ 1

The idea of the game is quite nice. I feel that the execution could be done better though, but considering the time constraints, this isn't too bad.

60 Days Till Summer by Fnkee 2019-05-07T02:02:20Z ♥ 1

I liked the idea of the game. Perhaps you can try to finish it up sometime, but that's up to you.

Hot Slots: All In by trozen 2019-05-01T21:54:43Z ♥ 1

This is a pretty nicely designed game. I like the fact that the coins from previous levels actually carry on to the next room if you don't pick them up by accident-nice anti-frustration feature right there.

LD42 — Running out of space (22)

Storage Madness by rangoiv 2018-08-23T23:33:56Z ♥ 2

This game's quite fun. There is a few problems with the aiming though-it doesn't always shoot towards where your mouse is for some reason. Enemies occasionally also spawned right in front of my face. Apart from those, this is really well made. Good job!

Cryptovirus by Corqi 2018-08-21T02:05:44Z ♥ 1

The puzzles in this game were pretty well designed. A breather level in between to introduce a new panel type followed by a challenge afterwards that's not ridiculously hard yet still challenging. Great job!

Cosmic Collapse by ryusui 2018-08-19T20:24:55Z ♥ 1

This game is quite intense. It took me a bit of time to realize what were the barricades, but after that, I zoomed full-speed-and still ended up getting wrecked from barricades because I was too focused on crystals, haha. Quite a solid game, good job.

Globulator by Corbak 2018-08-17T19:10:45Z ♥ 1

I like this game. There were very few virus to deal with though-if you have time for a post-jam, I'm sure you'd be able to add a lot more different type of bacteria and diseases for this game. There was a problem at one point where some of the bacteria managed to phase through the walls though, but apart from that, great game!

ground_0 by Jamison 2018-08-17T03:30:03Z ♥ 1

Quite a good game, quite hard too. I like it. My eyes did start hurting when the screen's shaking started getting amplified, but that's probably my fault for trying to multi-task, haha. Still, good job!

Space Invasion by Nam Nguyen 2018-08-16T22:19:31Z ♥ 2

I like the style of this game. Simplistic yet interesting and fun. Good job.

Pop it! by LJay 2018-08-16T21:33:47Z ♥ 2

I like this take on the theme. It's also pretty fun-and funny at the same time. Good job!

Dumpotopia by DjeyCreations 2018-08-16T20:43:35Z ♥ 0

This game's really nicely made! The graphics and audio are very well done, and the gameplay is solid while fitting the theme perfectly. I would suggest giving a good indicator for when the "power" is ready for use again, though. Aside from that, good job!

Rebound by Greyo 2018-08-16T16:56:24Z ♥ 3

I like this game, haha. Combination of puzzle, memorization and quick action. Good game!

Outta Space by Coal Creek Game Devs 2018-08-16T03:56:51Z ♥ 1

The game's functionality is really well done, but there seems to be no real goal apart from just collecting things-which doesn't seem to do anything. Is it because of the lack of time?

Space Balls by Shafournee 2018-08-15T22:48:26Z ♥ 1

Aha, I like your take on the theme. The ending was hilarious for some reason. Good game.

Baggage Claim by mgoadric 2018-08-15T17:59:43Z ♥ 1

Wow this game is pretty hard. I like it. Focuses both on space management and multi-tasking. Good job!

Parking Spaces by Imphenzia 2018-08-15T01:22:52Z ♥ 1

This is really well made. It took me some time to get use to it, but I eventually started to get the hang of the system, and I must say it's really fun. It's also a nice space and time management game that fits well with the theme. Great work!

Master The Space by nenas 2018-08-14T22:12:46Z ♥ 1

The first thing I thought of was space tetris. The idea's pretty good too. I was kinda confused as to what I was suppose to do at first, but I eventually got the hang of it. It's a nice first entry. Good job.

WeAreTheAntidote by Mowztouch 2018-08-14T22:02:19Z ♥ 1

I don't really know the goal of the game so at the end I ended up killing off everyone, but nothing happened still. Not sure I get how to play this, but I think I know what you're trying to go for, and I do like the idea.

Data Strain by Nikyaer 2018-08-14T19:28:54Z ♥ 1

The graphics and animation are great, and it runs really smoothly, but gets nigh-impossible after some point and the physics gets a bit screwy when there's too many boxes on the field. It's good apart from that. I feel as if you made this into an adventure action beat-em-up game, it'll turn out great, haha. But I guess we all gotta fit the theme, right?

Dear Leader's Diet Plan by Historymaker118 2018-08-14T18:32:03Z ♥ 1

This game is hilarious, haha. Couldn't get past stage 3 though. Too much weight to get rid of. It's quite fun though. The audio is pretty nice too. Good game!

Shrinking Universe by Renier 2018-08-14T17:59:35Z ♥ 1

It's pretty fun, but the double-clicking sometimes gets a bit tedious. It's understandable though, since we need a way to aim. Graphics are pretty nice. Some of the things are rather hard to destroy despite being small though-like the asteroid/comet.

Zero G Hero by dave_troyer 2018-08-14T16:51:10Z ♥ 3

This game's pretty hilarious, haha. I like the game-although I wasn't able to find my way around. Interesting sound effects and art style-quite comedic.

Eventful Horizon by bitdecay 2018-08-14T04:25:58Z ♥ 2

It's a nice game, albeit I didn't really know how the teleball system worked. Sometimes it will hit the surface and I won't teleport to the location but other times I instantly teleport the moment the ball collides to the surface. Despite that, it's pretty fun to mess around with. Also those are some very nice looking cutscenes. How did you get the time to make those?

Step into the Void (Web) by Bilzc10 2018-08-14T03:06:26Z ♥ 2

The game's pretty fun! Really fast-paced as well. There was a couple of times where the level became impossible to finish right off the bat because all the tiles around the trophy immediately disappeared right at the beginning of the level, but apart from that, it's a great game.

Abalite Crystal Defender by Ryfi 2018-08-14T02:34:04Z ♥ 0

Despite the fact that I'm not a fan of FPS games, I do like the concept behind this game and I did find it pretty fun. The place filling up with your own debris definitely fits the bill of running out of space.

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres (22)

Crazy Cube by YANIV 2018-05-13T17:08:23Z ♥ 1

This is a really interesting concept. It took a while for me to get use to controlling the die's controls in regards to its shooting, but I got more use to it as I played it more. Great entry!

Email Fishing: A Tower Defense Fishing Simulator by Johnny Turbo 2018-05-13T16:56:13Z ♥ 1

This is quite a hilarious and unique game, haha. I like the concept behind it. It kinda quickly got impossible near the end though, but it's fun nonetheless. Good job!

The game that bad that it is actually good???!!! by Peta 2018-05-12T17:10:58Z ♥ 0

... I don't know what just happened but that was somehow hilarious, aha.

Sam by ian1337 2018-05-12T03:50:32Z ♥ 1

It's a pretty nice game considering the time constraints placed for this. There's a lot of things you can add on to it if you're planning to release a post-jam version of it. Nice job. :)

Tactical Hydra by MacDoom 2018-05-11T17:45:44Z ♥ 1

This was a challenging game. The controls takes some time to get use to, but it quite fun. Good job!

Me da miedito la oscuridad (I get goosebumps in the dark) by Espetapas 2018-05-11T17:04:04Z ♥ 1

Finally got a chance to test your game back. This entry is quite amazing. I didn't have a second player with me though, so I had try soloing the thing and playing both roles, which made it extremely difficult for me, aha. Great game.

Run Farmer by forestd 2018-05-11T03:21:32Z ♥ 0

It took a while for me to get what I was suppose to do since the game started right away, but once I found out, I really liked the idea. There were a few problems like if you run faster than the screen itself to rush to the exit, it literally goes "The next day..." "you died". But apart from these things, it's a pretty nice entry. Just try to put a start page or something instead of starting right away, and perhaps a tutorial of some sort and it'll be all good to go.

Time Spike by egawag 2018-05-09T17:02:42Z ♥ 1

This is a well made game. The idea is phenomenal and executed quite well, although the stopping of your movement does end up getting a bit annoying when there's no enemies around, but it was still fun to play. Good job!

Apocalypse Mini Golf by driedwatermelon 2018-05-09T04:21:30Z ♥ 1

It's a pretty nice game-kinda hard to figure out at first but I still enjoyed it. I would have liked it more if there was a way to control the power of your strokes/putts, but it's understandable with the time constraints. Another thing issue was the fact that your stroking and putts have infinite range. I could hit the golf ball from a mile away if I was able to click on it. It's overall a pretty decent entry though, although I didn't really see what the two themes are.

Advance Cookwares by Aurel300 2018-05-03T02:27:24Z ♥ 0

Wow, this is impressive. Excellent idea, fun gameplay and just overall great. Although I would suggest for the menu and buttons and stuff to transition instantaneously since it feels kinda slow sometimes that you have to wait for the transition to be finished before you can do anything. Also, carrot, patty, cucumber and tomato all take to long to prepare for of such little value. I won most of my games by spam raw sauce burgers and mutt burgers-with only sauce and salt on it. I'm sure that if you had more time though, you'd be able adjust everything to be just right.

Chungholio Tower by SlimothyJ 2018-05-02T01:36:57Z ♥ 1

Quite a simple game, but it's quite fun. I was lost most of the time though and kept falling into the tiny slits everywhere, but considering you stated that the game was meant to be unfair, it's probably just that and I'm just not persistent enough, haha. I'm not sure what the two genres are though. Apart from that, this is a decent entry.

Rhythm Overdrive by Diblow 2018-04-25T04:34:30Z ♥ 3

The game looks and plays amazingly, but in my opinion, it doesn't really have a mix between two incompatible genres-it feels more like a shoot-em up with a gimmick. The game is extremely well polished though. Good stuff.

BlowScape by Fleoh 2018-04-24T20:37:53Z ♥ 3

This game is extremely well done. The costs for repairing and upgrading are on point, and the multi-managing of all the necessary functions along with the platforming action really mixes the 2 genres very well.

PlatSCII by whycardboard 2018-04-24T19:54:28Z ♥ 3

This is really nice game. Smooth and polished game-play, nice graphics, and good music as well. The atmosphere adds to the mood of the game as well. Overall, very well done.

OUTLAW 🚗 MAYOR 🚓🚓 PANIC! by 01010111 2018-04-24T19:14:27Z ♥ 1

This game seems really well polished. It's also pretty funny as well. The controls were kind of annoying but it's probably intentional. Overall, good entry.

Card Defence by Andregh 2018-04-24T19:04:32Z ♥ 0

I get the concept that you're trying to produce here, but this game is extremely buggy in its current state, and nigh-unplayable. Still the idea is fairly good. I'm sure that if you had more time, the game would turn out great.

Carmagotchi by Re-Markable 2018-04-24T18:55:27Z ♥ 1

Oh man, the music had me laughing the entire time, haha. Good job.

Farmer 21 by Jon_Nova 2018-04-24T18:40:41Z ♥ 1

Oh wow. It's short, but still. I can't really say anything else to it. It's kinda confusing at the beginning though, but it's the intrigue that's good.

Star Brawler by SamuelDeboni 2018-04-24T17:49:13Z ♥ 1

This is pretty hilariously fun game, haha. I like the throw system (although it sometimes glitches up), it gives a good gimmick to the game. Overall a rather good entry.

Stellar Storm by Bousquet Luc 2018-04-24T17:33:29Z ♥ 1

The game's graphics and audio are pretty good.

The core game-play's pretty decent, although the blue enemy spawn rate is a bit ridiculous-there was a point where I've killed enough of them for them to stop spawning forever, then I went ahead and captured every single base and called it a day.

There's also a problem in the tutorial page where it's nigh-impossible to leave and the fact that pressing Esc/Pause while you're docked at a station glitches the game up.

But considering this was made in 3 days, it's a rather good entry.

Lost in Spacetime by zeMenno 2018-04-24T15:31:44Z ♥ 0

Did you make the shoot button with the left mouse button key on purpose? 'Cause it throws my aiming off since I'm so use to either mouse aim or using some other key to shoot when aiming is not decided by mouse position. I guess that's all part of the difficulty, haha.

Overall, decent game.

Grid Gunner by SuperTibbles 2018-04-24T14:57:07Z ♥ 3

This game's pretty neat. I do have a gripe with not having the option to stay still (and it telling me that red tiles heal me), but it's overall pretty fun.
