LD42 — Running out of space

TrackBlasters by paulloz 2018-08-14T13:42:30Z

This game was just fun altogether! I love the art, the concept, the controls, etc. Good Job!

MULT by AlexHoratio 2018-08-13T18:59:56Z

Hey, it's Mult! That joke I've been hearing about..? The game was pretty fun, and the cheat button was handy (only used it once tho, wanted to beat the game properly.) I feel like you pulled off my idea better than I did, so, uh, good job!

Slimeblast! by svntax 2018-08-14T21:33:50Z

Even though it's basically splatoon but top-down and with slimes, it's fun! Good Job!

Claustrophobia by Nathalia Hohl 2018-08-14T18:45:38Z

Okay, so, the concept and the controls were all good, but I just felt that there could've been a bit more... challenge? There's only the occasional hole, maybe a death tile. I do like level 5, though, and I feel like this game would've been more interesting had it progressed vertically. But don't be disheartened; you can only do better from here!

Just Talk to People by Lyxil 2018-08-13T19:25:33Z

Hey, nice work! It was fun talking to all the people, although I don't have social anxiety.

Binary Odyssey by Falk Bruskeland 2018-08-21T15:12:13Z

Agree with @ethan-allwood , this game is a lot like SCB. Good work!

Repopulate!! by ZAINMAN 2018-08-13T20:07:06Z

I think the only problems I had with this game were the colliders not being exact (personal nitpick), and the levels being short. However, your art is nice, the premise of the game and the controls were easy to pick up, and it was just, fun!

Quibble Quarrel by TJ101010 2018-08-14T15:12:26Z

This was really fun! Wish there was multiplayer or something.

Quibble Quarrel by TJ101010 2018-08-14T16:49:13Z

@tj101010 Makes sense.

Cryptographer by Firebelley 2018-08-13T22:39:02Z

Nice work! I enjoyed getting stuck a lot :P.

35 Seconds to Arrival by watdowtal 2018-08-13T19:41:14Z

@adroitconceptions Hey, thanks! I find that in most of my games, I've never actually told the player how to play in the game, which is a flaw I should probably patch up. Thanks for playing, and giving feedback!

35 Seconds to Arrival by watdowtal 2018-08-14T13:30:19Z

@firebelley I actually found out how to properly move the camera, but it's a bit too late for that (maybe?). @hexkritor Thanks!

35 Seconds to Arrival by watdowtal 2018-08-14T15:14:53Z

@koala-squad Thanks! And you may be surprised by the number of people who had the same idea as me... It's two. But, the other executed the idea well! https://gamejolt.com/games/mult/360731

35 Seconds to Arrival by watdowtal 2018-08-14T16:55:42Z

@rk3omega Alright! Though, I'll probably join the jam next time.

Ink Flood by Ice Maker 2018-08-14T14:39:56Z

I didn't have any of the problems others seem to have. This game was really cute! I liked the sound and music, though sometimes the controls were annoying. Good work! Also, Godot!

Exhaustion by Koala Squad 2018-08-13T19:16:33Z

Nice game! I felt it was a bit too slow for my liking, but the visuals were cute, and I like the idea behind the game! I think you could've shortened the length of the timer, though.

Exhaustion by Koala Squad 2018-08-13T19:39:46Z

@koala-squad That's okay! I understand that jam versions of games are rough prototypes.

Exhaustion by Koala Squad 2018-08-13T19:49:12Z

@koala-squad Oh, that makes more sense. I'll keep watch, then!

Alchemist Dungeon by hexkritor 2018-08-13T19:57:00Z

Good job on the game! It was rather short, though. The art is really well done!

Slay The Slimes by rk3Omega 2018-08-14T21:32:29Z

First of all, Godot! Second, nice game! It was fun. I have nothing constructive. Sorry!

Flame VS Water by Taner 2018-08-13T20:10:59Z

Like many others who have played your game, the art style is really cute! The gameplay was easy to understand, and the game was relatively polished and feature complete. Keep up the good work!

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

FTD : Fixin' to Die by nuclearfriend 2018-12-07T13:53:41Z

Man, this was fun! I love the art, disposing people is fun in a sadistic way, and the voice acting was on point.

Bomba Ball by bwalter 2018-12-03T18:47:55Z

I like these kinds of games where you assign a few dudes and just watch them butt heads. It's thrilling! This was fun to play, though I haven't dabbled in the multiplayer yet. My only complaint is the UI not being the easiest to click on, but other than that, solid entry!

You Warlock! by AlexHoratio 2018-12-03T18:22:11Z

I feel like the only gripes I have with the game are that the stat increases are a bit subtle, at least until you get to a high enough number. The game also seemed to favor speed over every other stat whenever I played. Also, the little area where you see the stats is a bit hard to see. Maybe bring up the alpha a bit idk. Other than that, good job! I liked the art, the music is great, and the controls feel good! Sacrificing is also fun, and lets you experiment with not sacrificing at all, or sacrificing all but one of your citizens, etc. It leaves a bit of player determined fun I guess??? Also motivate button easily makes this game 10/10

Please Player by Noa Calice 2018-12-06T16:12:20Z

The voice acting was on-point. Not only that, but there were a lot of interesting characters I missed mashing the button like a bored toddler... which I eventually killed. Good work! :D

Roguedare Ludumlike by Gurbx 2018-12-07T15:09:08Z

Your art never fails to impress me. Keep up the good work!

Master Key by Jeremy Ryan 2018-12-06T16:06:26Z

Woah, this was really good! I love the cat :D The one thing that got me was holding an action with the arrow key(s) to preform the action, which got a bit annoying. Another thing is that you can dash through some walls? Probably not supposed to do that. Other than that, good job! I've wanted to learn Python/Pygame for a while, and you seem to know the ropes.

Cultists vs Demons by Hairic 2018-12-04T14:36:55Z

I'll start with the fact that the art is bloody amazing. I don't know why I'm so drawn to it, but I'm guessing it's the palette (part of endegsa32, see I remember!) I guess the only improvements I can ask of are some more enemy variety (more than stat increases) and some sound, but who am I to tell you? I only have one enemy!

Ludum Dare: The Game by Darylsteak 2018-12-07T12:43:21Z

Wow, this is probably the biggest mood I have ever seen. Captures the feeling of participating (other than getting disowned?), and the art was really nice! I liked the balancing part of things. Nice work!

Bloodcaster by YongminPark 2018-12-07T12:30:20Z

Oh boy, this is an amazing entry! The graphics are great, the music, the game-play, it all just fits so well together! I guess I only felt mild discomfort with the aiming mechanic at first, but I got used to it, and the spells ricocheting off of walls/enemies also helped. Really good work!

The Greater Good by watdowtal 2018-12-06T18:38:33Z

@najmm Yeah, it was mostly because of late starts each day (school, the event starting at 2am), so it was pretty short. I wish I had more time, because my original idea was actually pretty good.

Two Minutes 'Til Tribute by Furtive Pygmy 2018-12-07T12:59:38Z

Let's start with the art, which is great by the way. That's all I have to say about the art. I feel like the time period between sacrifices is too long. Yes, you can skip to the sacrifice, but I think it'd be better if there was simply less time between sacrifices. Then there's the lack of audio. I think the game would do better with sound, as there's the whole shooting thing. Other than that, it's a neat entry!

Gift of Life by Pez 2018-12-07T13:10:13Z

Pretty much everything but the controls were great. It may have been me, but the controls felt quite unnatural. Aside from that, the concept is nice and I love the models. :thumbsup:

Flower>You by LiamIsUnlucky 2018-12-04T14:26:06Z

I'd say I have to agree with everyone else. The art, controls, and music were all great, but the combat mechanic didn't serve it too well. It may be just me, but I can't seem to find out how the game ties into the theme.

For The Greater Good by Eddie Li 2018-12-08T12:50:39Z

The game is simple; I've seen the idea executed before. But I don't think I've seen anyone have the idea of the other actors freezing when one is in control. This leads to interesting solutions to puzzles such as "How do I get across this gap?" Sometimes, the jumps didn't happen when expected, which lead to some frusttration, but the art, gameplay, and level design made up for it. Good work!

LD46 — Keep it alive

You're Invited! by Ellian 2020-04-21T03:00:07Z

this was fun! the art's cute, and the music is also pretty good!

nice job :D

Vigtafl by bwalter 2020-04-21T03:34:50Z

I'm really bad at it but it's pretty fun!

Desktop Garden by 0x0 2020-04-30T16:53:14Z

I always love little desktop toys, and this was done really well! I think that the wall jumping could be easier to use though (kicking off walls doesn't really work).

One of my favorite entries of the jam :D

OTTS & GLASH by endesga 2020-04-21T02:51:37Z

the music and sound are top notch imo, and I love glash with all my heart. really sick job!

WHITE HOT by watdowtal 2020-04-21T14:17:08Z

@nanoarch thanks for playing! I had no clue how to get the audio to not stack that way (tried looking it up too) so I just had to leave it it I guess.

WHITE HOT by watdowtal 2020-04-22T02:09:56Z

@rk3omega i'm not the best at level design, so yeah the progression is a bit off. thanks for playing it though!

Slamming Slimes by IcefoxZettai 2020-04-29T20:12:40Z

It's pretty fun! I think my only real complaint is that there are too many bullets and the slime is really big, so it just has to take all of the hits. Other than that, neat concept!
