LD44 — Your life is currency

Dave the dev by Linus 2019-04-29T16:36:59Z

OH MY GOD, THIS FREAKING GAME, LOVE IT MAN. This game connects with many of the developers in Ludum Dare right now or every game dev in general. It's so meta. The text to speech kind of voice, the pixelated graphics, and dialogue. It's so good, it's bad. Got all of the endings and the first time I got an ending I laughed so hard. GREAT GAME, congrats!!!

The Current Sea by khaotom 2019-04-29T16:39:13Z

Nice idea and nice game.

I think that you purposely deviated from the theme of LD44.

Graphics is definitely A+ since low-poly and overall a decent submission

Congratulations!

Soul Search by SoerenBachNielsen 2019-04-29T17:39:46Z

This game shines in the story part, definitely great in making the player feel something. Art, music, and story was very good, wish that it was longer. Great job! Congrats!!!

Information Age by tater-hater 2019-04-29T14:58:26Z

Going philosophical here. I love your twist in the theme for this LD44. Definitely can be considered an eye-opener and a philosophical game. (Also, shoutout for the disclaimer about the privacy of info). Only criticism is it could be longer. But good otherwise

GREED by mmason 2019-04-29T17:26:33Z

Good game in general, great job in choosing the colors and creating a death-like-sad-like atmosphere. The music also adds to the said atmosphere.

I must admit, I have an embarrassing amount of time figuring out how to progress the dialogue box, a text to press space could work. The character also feels heavy in my opinion but it doesn't negate the controls of the game

But overall, graphics, music, atmosphere, and feel, you nailed it. Congrats!

The Day Of The Chosen by sahoskins1 2019-04-30T02:12:18Z

Nice narrative and good text-based game you have here. However, more choices would be good, but hey it's not a game jam without time limits. Congratulations for pulling this off!

Life Vac by caranha 2019-04-29T15:50:09Z

I love the graphics and music in this one. Nice innovation on the concept of Game of Life, turning it and matching it to LD44's theme. I absolutely enjoyed this one, great job! Congrats!

Choice of Life by victorcrafty 2019-04-29T15:53:10Z

Good game, good graphics, and nice concept. Regarding the theme, it deviates from using life as a currency but it nails the concept of sacrificing life for game time. What else can I say, but I love this game overall, great job. Congrats!

Mycelium Man by ragtagradical 2019-04-30T02:26:20Z

A very very interesting take and game. The graphics are trippy as hell. This game stands out for its high quality graphics. Solid submission, good work!

The Joy of Creationism with God Ross by AndideBob 2019-04-29T14:37:03Z

Wow, just wow is all I can say man. Also 5/5 for the pun name First of all, the theme is implied to the dialogue of God Ross but that's just the start. The graphics are executed very very nicely with the particles and everything using the voxel type look. The soundtrack is also very good, very refreshing to hear a nice soundtrack, some submissions this time doesn't have a lot of them. Congrats man!

A Bill's Life by Kovakomes 2019-04-30T02:05:22Z

I was left empty after I played this game. But I think it was intentional, had a good laugh at my confusion at the end. 10/10 for the options menu.

Well played sir, well played

RoShamBo ++ by Von Vista 2019-04-29T14:44:40Z

@antti-haavikko Oh, thank you for pointing that out, I have no experience exporting to mac in Unity, thanks Man! I shall work on it

RoShamBo ++ by Von Vista 2019-04-30T12:10:39Z

@kovakomes I can totally relate to that, hahaha. But that's what you get for sacrificing all of your lives

Polar Delivery by onnofal 2019-04-29T17:18:10Z

I was about to comment that it doesn't fit the theme at first but looking at your game description, I understand where your stance is and I absolutely respect that decision.

That decision made you create a game that is relaxing for a change and gives of a great atmosphere which is a very good decision.

Its nice to have a game in LD44 that deviates from the shooters, killing types, and just relax and slow down the pace.

Very good graphics, and relaxing gameplay, and atmosphere building is spot on. Congrats man!

Danger In The Snow by omercanbalandi 2019-04-29T17:30:15Z

You're right about the balance part, most specially when it comes to the later stages, the game becomes daunting because of being cornered by too many enemies. Theme-wise, it kind-off deviates from it but it is definitely average on that part.

I must praised the sprites and pixel art on this one, it is very high in quality, and I like the decision to make the enemies move one by one and not all by once because it gives off a very nice effect.

Overall, it was a very nice strategy game and a good submission, congrats!

Pay to LIFE to LIVE by Aret24 2019-04-30T02:02:52Z

Great game, and with that comes along great gameplay. With the short amount of time, this game stands out with its many levels man. Had fun playing it. Congrats!

Dare To Dance by joe-the-really-old 2019-04-30T02:21:37Z

This game stands out from the humor. The graphics and music really add up to the condescending feeling of getting chased by dancing zombies while freaking dancing. Good game, solid submission!

Battery Life by Attala 2019-04-29T13:36:21Z

First, congrats for completing your game. I'll start with commenting on the concept itself which is executed nicely, the currency being the battery's own life, and the puzzle aspect is also pulled of nicely utilizing the core mechanics of the game. However, an improvement in this would be changing the UI of the buttons from its native assets, and some of the UIs has that kind-of pixelated look. Overall, solid submission

Slave: Unpaid by Tednesday 2019-04-30T02:07:52Z

Really really cool. I think this game is well balanced for the most part but I didn't get much gold because I got stressed managing the slaves. Great game and submission. Congrats!

Coin Puzzles by Mika la Grand 2019-04-29T17:20:56Z

This was a fun game, but it deviates too far away from the Life is Currency theme, although it has that currency part in check. The pixel graphics and sprites used is very high in quality and a solid platformer. Congrats!

Frozen Yoghurt by cpx3 2019-04-30T01:41:42Z

I'm a fan of bullet hell styled game, and this was no exception. A very interesting take on the theme. I loved the assets use specially the background music that really changes the feel of the game. Great job!!

Coin Platformer by sillyman987 2019-04-29T14:49:15Z

I have seen many coin platformers in LD44, keep on creating and developing man, Ludum Dare Compo is very very hard but I hope you enjoyed and learned a lot from this time's LD44. Nevertheless congratulations!

Grow by Caspercaper17 2019-04-29T16:04:24Z

Very interesting take on the concept. The low-poly art style is executed nicely and is coherent with everything. This game could use some atmosphere and post-processing effects to make it more immersive tho. But as many of the comments here, yeah the camera is an issue but other than that, a very solid submission. Congratulations!

Fair n Square by DaniDev 2019-04-29T14:12:33Z

Very very nice game! When I was formulating the concept for my game, I also had an idea like this one. The graphic style you settled with in this game was really well executed, with responsive controls, sounds, and graphic feedback. Great job!!!

Grand Theft ATP by Erudis 2019-04-29T16:26:47Z

Very interesting game and a good take on the concept of Life as Currency. It is a game that takes time to master, I had many repeated game overs but once I got the hang of it, I lasted longer on the game. Graphics is good overall and it could use some science-y background music, but overall, great strategy game and fits well with LD44, congratulations!

Life Cycle by zubspace 2019-04-29T17:38:27Z

Needs some polishing and controls need a full work around. But graphics is surely high in quality with this one, also had fun while playing. Congrats!!!

LudumDare 44 by SingularityOddity 2019-04-30T01:54:00Z

This game got the graphics, mood, and audio on check. And this is another game from LD44 with the life drain concept. Could use a bit of polishing and post-processing. But overall, great submission, specially for the mood

Shooter on a Budget by Christopher Wong 2019-04-30T02:48:33Z

Man, what else can I say about this game. THE MOST FUN I HAVE WITH AN LD44 SUBMISSION THIS YEAR! I have played the game for over 20 minutes now and I can't seem to exit out of it. Congrats!

Lazy Boy 3000 by PhilippeM 2019-04-29T14:15:38Z

That sound loop was hillarious

LifeShot by kuviman 2019-04-29T14:54:42Z

VERY VERY GOOD GAME! I was like "ohh shit" when I opened it, could potentially be a very good and challenging .io game (like agar.io, or slither.io), great AI and mechanics man, loved it. Congrats!

Pilgrimage of Ascension by Pincushion 2019-04-29T14:29:43Z

Good job in staying true to the theme of LD44, could use background music and a basic model for the character. But still, congrats!

Mortal: the fate of cells by pwroff 2019-04-29T14:25:41Z

Very trippy game, I like the red blood cell mission, not the neuron one tho, it could use some moody background music but really solid submission, congrats!

Life for Likes by FM Studio 2019-04-29T16:33:33Z

Very very cute! The first time a saw a selfie mechanic in LD44, also a good twist to the concept of life is currency. Good graphics and sprites in this one, also could use a bit of variation in the music. But overall, great execution and smooth game. Congratulations!

This Game Blows by fibonacci1321 2019-04-30T02:16:13Z

Congrats for completing your first ever Ludum Dare! This game kind-off deviates slightly from the theme, but hey it works. I think the style of the graphics achieve here gives off a unique effect seperating from the rest of the submissions. Solid game, also 5/5 for the pun

Front Line Fury by hernandack 2019-04-30T01:47:33Z

Interesting take on the theme, this is the first submission in LD44 i've seen to have the tower defense concept. This game stands out in the quality of the assets used. Very reminiscent to Plants Vs. Zombies. Some background music would be nice to break the monotony of the soundscape in the game. But overall, great submission. Congrats!

Market Master by zactical 2019-04-30T01:37:37Z

Taking the theme in literal ways, this game was simply fun. 5/5 for the pun company names, hahaha. Graphics, sound effects, and concept was on point. Congrats!!!

SURVIVE tonight by YaHUB 2019-04-29T14:46:28Z

Man, I am enjoying this game, but the shop menu, I can't close it, but it was just getting fun to play. But good graphics, good audio, but only problem is shop, congrats Man!

TheAmmoLife by MantarayTV Games 2019-04-29T17:36:05Z

Good game, I think your game shines on the graphics part, very smooth and clean. However, my only criticism is that the music loops not at the right time, and kind-of gets irritating after a long period of time in the gameplay. But graphics, feel, and controls are nailed in this one. Congrats!

LD 44 Currency is life for Ricardo by Week of the agents 2019-04-30T02:13:23Z

Pixel sprites and graphics is so so good, could have explored the gameplay mechanic more, but overall, solid submission.

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Remote Bot by Yngvarr 2018-04-28T15:50:40Z

This game is freaking awesome, I dig this type of games, if this gets a post-LD game, I'll be definitely sure to check it out with more levels, although I do not reach the end of the game, this game is still very fun, it is very very challenging and difficult, most of the time forgetting the commands, but very solid game!

Fat Panda! by Ethereal Psyche Games 2018-04-26T11:15:14Z

Awesome game, a hard game to master but nevertheless, graphics are on point, very very beautiful. Great Job!

Hellfest Simulator by GoZz 2018-04-26T01:20:37Z

Very nice submission! While playing the game I am just laughing the whole time because of how bad I am in the first run of the game, I kept on banging against the sprites, Loved it :laughing: ,great job guys!

Marco Polo by microwerx 2018-04-28T15:47:03Z

A very challenging and hard game indeed, I feel like I must play it more to get the hang of it and actually get far :laughing:, anyways, reminded me a lot of Oregon Trail but overall, really good job!

FPS - Fugly Puzzle Shooter by Fedor 2018-04-28T15:52:19Z

This has a lot of potential, changing the 3d models and the graphics, this would be much better, but it is getting there. Also, great name by the way, hahaha. Great job man!

Platform Hero by Rombus 2018-04-28T16:09:16Z

This game was super fun, very very coll, as a fan of rhythm games myself, I find this enjoyable, and with the 8 bit style blending it so well, a really great job, A+

Super Dashball by SecretPocketCat 2018-04-26T11:05:24Z

A simplictic game, as well as graphics, but very fun gameplay, as a fan of rage games myself, I can have fun while having a hard time.

Great job!

Pinboy-an RPG+ Pinball game by Colleen9416 2018-04-28T15:44:35Z

First of all, the music is A+, i like the part that says "ahhh-ahhh-AHHHHHHH", I made me laugh, moving on, graphics is very fitting with the game and style. I am a fan of pinball games and this is a very interesting take on it, definitely one of the more good looking games for LD41, great job!

Blob Dungeon by Mikeliosus 2018-04-28T16:03:27Z

Very awesome game, the fact that this was made in 3 days is quite astonishing, most of the games that are in Ludum Dare are usually one level, or infinite, or a generated one, but the levels was hand-crafted, very commendable, a very great job guys!

Definition of a Ghuest by Sand-Gardeners 2018-04-28T14:46:55Z

The best game I have played in terms of mood so far, great job on the setting, music, and the graphics as well, although I am not a fan of visual novels and text-adventures, I still find this interesting and worth-while. A very good job guys!

Blocks'N'Blaster by HPMNK 2018-04-26T01:49:03Z

One of the best uses of the theme, it becomes more difficult as the speed increases but still, very nice. It touches upon good graphics, music, and innovation

Nice job!

Karaoke Ninja by GastricSparrow 2018-04-28T16:12:27Z

Wow! One of the most astonishing concepts of LD41 so far, I really had fun and I also must commend about the graphics and the slickness of the animation, very very nice, excellent work!

Tennis Hero by JeffChen 2018-04-26T02:35:47Z

Very very nice game, awesomes visual and concept. The mechanics could use tweaking and improvements like tracking where the player is and shooting more frequently, but overall, the shaderwork and particles are gorgeous,

additional: Also, background music would set the mood of the game more

Beat Warriors by Von Vista 2018-04-26T01:09:47Z

Thanks for the responses guys! @Lyje - It's not harsh, thank you for the criticism and I will take your suggestions into consideration :) @GoZz - I'll look at it! @niterich @taviandir - Thank you for the feedback, I will try to improve it in the future

Beat Warriors by Von Vista 2018-04-28T02:53:20Z

@mic_matrix91 Thanks for the feedback and for playing!

Beat Warriors by Von Vista 2018-04-28T08:25:57Z

@larryseinfeld Thank you for playing it! Aprreciate it man :smile:

Beat Warriors by Von Vista 2018-04-30T15:25:29Z

@nikaoto thanks for all the constructive comments! I'll be sure to take note of them, very insightful feedback!

Beat Warriors by Von Vista 2018-04-30T15:25:58Z

I've reached the quota of over 20 ratings, thank you all for your comments and for playing!

Gender Circles by EkkoEkko 2018-04-26T11:30:33Z

Simplistic graphics, and pang-casual gaming yung laro, pero naconfuse ka yata doon sa theme, hahaha, but it doesn't matter, pretty solid game here (di pala ako nakapagleave ng comment kanina). Good job!

Soccer Fight by mic_matrix91 2018-04-26T11:26:31Z

I've been finding a very funny and fun game for this Ludum Dare and I have found one, I have been laughing the whole time, hahaha. I think as far as improvements, you could do waves of enemies, and then more movements for enemies to have more variety, but a very solid submission!

I think this is a shameless plug but if you have time, please also rate my game, Good job! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/beat-warriors

12Slash by Nikaoto 2018-04-28T15:32:52Z

Simple concept, but very fun to play, strategizing the most optimum way of killing the most enemies in your turn and going to a spot that you will not be damage by the ninja-enemies, great game, definitely a keeper!

Moon Baller by coatline 2018-04-28T14:32:48Z

Unique concept, but like all other comments that I saw on this thread, it needs more improvements, and of course graphics, but that is expected in a Game Jam, anyways, Good job!

PizzaBrawl by hank1996 2018-04-28T15:37:26Z

Omg, the concept is very creative and it is so well done, even I will not think of combining combat with pizza-making. I am a sucker for the graphic style of this, the monochrome colors definitely work out with the style of this game, had fun playing and this is definitely a keeper in my book, good job!

Flappy Soccer by Teo SK 2018-04-28T15:31:11Z

One of the most fun games I played so far, as a fan of rage games myself and flappy bird, you managed to make the game more harder than it is, I was laughing the whole time because I fail so much, this is a very interesting take on flappy bird, good job!

unBLOCK the exit! by fjlucas 2018-04-28T15:41:24Z

This game is great, the pixel art is exceptional, a great interpretation of the theme as well, for future updates, I would agree with all the previous comments to add more variety into the blocks, but overall, A+ game, definitely a keeper!

LD41 by Juzley 2018-04-28T16:00:05Z

An interesting take on the match-3 genre, although no background music, it is expected from a LD game jam, but I had fun while playing it and great job!

Cosmic Smoothies by tsedate 2018-04-28T14:31:07Z

Very cool game and it took a while to get used to it. Although I could suggest more variation and more polished spawn systems but overall, a great concept and a fun one

Elemental Monk by Biterkid 2018-04-28T15:56:08Z

Uhm, I really do not understand how to play the game so I basically just derped around, but I got a score of 5 so that's good, hahaha, but I can see the concept, the graphics and music are matched, and overall, eventhough I suck at this, I still find it enjoyable, great job!

Super Ice-Cream Roller Ultra by Probe31 2018-04-26T01:58:18Z

Really great submission, nailed it on the graphics, it is very very beautiful :smile: However, I suggest to make the controls more tactile, I don't know if it's just me or if I really suck at the game. The background music is good, but it taunts me because I die so many many times :laughing: It is very sad to see the little golf ball die because of me for the nth time, hahahaha. I think the finishing touch for this would be a main menu screen for players to be prepared first before diving into the game.

Way Out by Victor Lima 2018-04-28T15:29:26Z

I had fun playing this! I really like the voxel graphics and the lighting, the shaders look nice although it lags my laptop quite a bit because I have performance issues with it, a really interesting take on the maze genre, mixing it with survival. Overall, a solid submission, great job!
