I don't get it, what's the goal? Graphics and mood are nice, i think i'm just supposed to put the food in the dude's mouth, and i can rip his skin off and touch his eyes. Looks cool, but it's not that fun, as there are no goals, and the gameplay is a bit boring and slow, and controls can be tedious
Very cool and interesting game! It would need some polishing, but it is enjoyable. The battles are very well made, but it would be nice if you could skip them, as they become a bit boring after a while, because if i understood right, i can't change anything in the battle, so i'm just waiting :D BTW hex grids FTW
I like the graphics/art style and sound, reminds me of old runescape versions. The game is buggy, at the start of a game i tried to talk to an npc, but couldn't leave the talking screen, also the text box clipped with a house, so i couldn't see all the text. Later i realised that this was because i was using another resolution than the default and the buttons were hidden. The accepting and rejecting contracts is a very interesting and fresh mechanic, but I didn't bother reading the huge textboxes, because i really didn't understand what all the things there mean. The attack screen works well, though it's a bit messy sometimes.
Controls are pretty bad, the game commands me to press space, but that just makes me jump into lava. I later learned that i can use the grappling hook, but it handled awkwardly, and was difficult to control. Music, sound and level design are good though!
Cool game, graphics and sound are nice and make the game feel scary. There are some bugs, like the guns firing at dead bodies. Is it possible to regenerate health? that would be a good feature. Once you have your guns set up, you just have to wait until you die, as the player can't really fight on his own, that's kinda boring.
Fun game, good graphics, good concept, easy to learn. The game does get repetitive after a while, maybe you could unlock potions and spells, so the player would feel like he is progressing. Also, sound would be really nice and make the atmosphere better.
I played on easy difficulty, and even though i bought life steal in the beginning, i couldn't get enough hp to buy anything. Combat feels good though, i would like there to be more variety in the attacks the player can do. The screen shake effect is good and makes fighting feel more responsive. Graphics are ok, music is pretty annoying really.
I like the setting, but the card game itself has some flaws. At first it was difficult to understand, what was going on. I did learn, but i found myself just putting the strongest creatures i had to any empty slot, which i think is a smart move but it makes the game less fun. Not enough action cards, i mostly had only multiples of the same creature in my deck, so there wasn't much choice
The tutorial is good, and helps learn the game without reading lots of text. Gameplay is interesting and sometimes solving the problems is fun, but sometimes i just don't understand what i'm supposed to do. Graphics and sound are nice though
Same problem as Greenboxgames, did the developers playtest this?
I like the cinematic start. Controls are ok, level design could be more linear, now i don't really know what my goal is and where i should go. Combat is awkward and i don't know how to increase the bar in the top left corner. Also, what are the yellow leaves that the human throw at you when you shoot them? kinda confusing but some parts are pretty enjoyable
It's a very interesting game. I like the colourful graphics, reminds me of old arcade games. The inventory management is a cool idea, but it's a bit unclear, how it works. If i understand correctly, you are supposed to put the coins in your inventory, and every time you move, the coins play conway's game of life? So i'm supposed to make it so, that conway's game of life doesn't delete my coins right? I don't remember the rules of conway's game of life, so all my coins just disappear really fast. Also enemies kill you really fast, and i don't really know how to fight them or dodge their attacks.
It's a great shooter, feels really good to play. Level design isn't always that good, i'm not always sure where i'm supposed to go etc. There was some spikes on the ground, but i thought it was a normal floor tile, because it didn't look like spikes at all so that was kinda annoying. But I really like the combat in this game.
Love the graphics and the prologue! Controls are awkward though, i think if the ship flew towards the mouse cursor, it would be easier to aim and dodge attacks. Also adding a life bar would be very helpful :D
I like the game, it's fun to play. Ofc it would need more polish, but it's actually fun and satisfying to play, i like the screen shake effect. I suggest that you make the jump less intense, but add a double jump, so the player will not get annoyed by accidentally running off a cliff :D
Love the graphics, but there is at least one game breaking bug. The player's z position doesn't change, he is always hovering above the walls and levels, so he can't kill anyone, but he can just walk out of the map. So the game is unplayable at least for me now. Edit: restarting the game fixed it Edit2: i found the problem, there is no gravity, and in the spawn area there is a slope that you can go up. Once your up you can't go down.
I like the idea, but as others said, the upper branches don't really serve a purpose. The controls are pretty weird, i think that left and right arrow keys should expand the branch, and up and down change the angle. I actually liked the story and it was pretty fun to play, the controls are just a bit awkward.
The title flashes a lot, and sorry but it's a horrible way to start a game, by flashing some psychedelic text on the screen. Too much chromatic aberration, text is difficult to read. The tutorial is a good idea and well executed, but the text is really hard to read, and the text doesn't tell me how to do things, it just says: "you can plant the seed" but i don't know where and how. So the game looks like it's innovative and could be fun, but i'm stuck in the tutorial in the "You can sell it too" part, i don't know how to continue from that
Graphics are great, and i like the controls and level design a lot. Attacking is sometimes difficult, you cant change camera angle and you can't attack an enemy that is obstructed from the camera by player. The gameplay is a bit boring though, maybe add some archer units, and more abilities for the player. Also if the levels were more linear, it would be more fun.
I like the game. The atmosphere is great thanks to the music and sounds. It can be improved though: Right now it's too difficult, but maybe life is lol. I just would like to be able to play longer, but i always die in about 3 days. It's not always clear what each option will result in, also i think sleep and overstrain should be combined, because the difference between those is a bit unclear.
The web version of the game loads very slowly. Controls are good, but i would like to be able to move the player even when jumping, because for example now you can't jump over boxes without getting some speed, and that is a bit annoying. It's difficult to know what hurts you and what doesn't, i just landed on a branch and almost died. I like the graphics and sound though, and it's an innovative platformer with cool and fresh level design!
Very interesting game. The strategy elements are good and well done. I think the game needs two things the most. One is a tutorial level, because I don't want to read an essay on how to play. The other is that the game has to be faster. I don't want to follow every move of every enemy unit, just so i could play another turn.
I like playing the game a lot, the ugprades are innovative and fun, exploring the level is fun as is combat. These are some of the flaws: At first it was unclear that i was supposed to go into the corridors, i thought that the blue lights were enemy spawnpoints. The player's orientation is not always towards the mouse, if mouse doesn't move and the player moves, but this is rarely a problem. It is difficult to know, what amount of damage the enemies deal, so i got one shot by one enemy even though i had 10 hearts, because i didn't know, how much damage the enemy would deal. It's a really fun game though!
I like the graphics and sound, but the controls are very awkward. First of all, you have to use S/D to move left and right, instead of A/D like in the instructions. Also using z x and c is difficult while also using S/D. Character stops when swinging bat, which is annoying. Also the enemies attack far too fast, leaving no time to react. It seems i only got the enemies killed when they had already killed me and I had a little bit of invincibility
Fun game, reminds me a lot of portal's co op. Music fits this really well, it feels like some sort of elevator music, very calm anyway. Level design is cool too, but sometimes i'd like to see all the characters at the same time, because sometimes the levels are so large, that when switching characters, i don't know where i am anymore. Great work!
Very interesting story, the sound and graphics also give it a great atmosphere. Really fun, and different from others. I don't have really anything negative to say about this, other than sometimes the glitching of the text was slightly annoying, as i was trying to read the text, but it was a cool effect. Maybe if it wasn't so common as it is now, it'd be better?
Amazing music and graphics, and these are very important as they keep me from wanting to skip everything! Gameplay and the sacrificing is very cool and works well, as does the level design. But i found that you can just sacrifice everything, as long as you don't sacrifice the double jump, most levels you can usually just speed past by spamming double jump, it's so fast no one can touch you. Great work anyway!
I'm kind lost on this game, i don't get what i'm supposed to do here. I gave all my coins to something which said i would discover something about myself but i discovered nothing. I like the graphics and the music, and the mystery in the game, but there are a lot of little flaws that should be fixed:
There is usually a ceiling directly above the place where you should jump, which makes platforming difficult. Also sometimes when i'm trying to jump by using space, the game decides that instead of trying to jump for the coin above me, i wanted to interact with the thing near me.
Camera movement makes me dizzy, platforming is difficult in this game so i will have to try the jump many times, which means i will be pressing A and D a lot when i'm moving around, but everytime i change the direction of my movement, the camera moves a lot. Also the blackholes cause large weird camera shake.
Just fix those, and it could be a very interesting game!
Fun game, gameplay works well apart from the controls,graphics and music is good. No music button, and esc to return to menu doesn't work and also this game doesn't work on every resolution, or windowed mode. About the controls, i think it would be a lot better if the movement was about 4 times slower. Also sometimes the player get's stuck on the wall. But this game is well made, good job on it!
Now this is a cool idea, but the mouse is too slow and the god guy was filling the screen all the time when giving instructions and obstructing gameplay. Also all the dinos kept jumping into the water so it was really frustrating to catch them. I also don't get why this had to be on a planet, it just makes it more difficult to play, this could have very well been a top down 2d game. Anyway: here's what i like -innovative -controls are good, apart from the mouse sensitivity -graphics actually aren't too bad. Good work!
I like the idea, but as a game it doesn't function that well, as the actual gameplay is just spamming the roll button. Also you can just like decrease health by 50 in the start and add 50 to speed and no one can touch you. But it's a fun, innovative game with quality voice acting:D !
Super fun and innovative! Controls are a bit off though, especially jumping. Also the tutorial, while it is really well made and helpful, sometimes restrict doing some things. Like i had figured out that i had to drag henry to the spikes, i couldn't do that until the tutorial told me to. Also the collision with the crushing wall sometimes worked weirdly. Great job though!
Really fun game and amazing graphics, but i agree with others, this is like too fast and "clickety". Great work though!
Why is it victory, if you have 0 points? The only way to lose this game is to be killed by the rabbits, but it will never happen because you can just explode yourself:D? Anyway, the game works well, looks good, and is funny.
The atmosphere is really great. The game is so short though! I like the game mechanics, but the jumping has an annoying cool down, which annoys me when i have to wait 2 seconds on every platform till i can do my next move. Great game though, would have liked to play more.
I like the graphics, music and the general atmosphere the most. I don't really get the puzzle part. From what i understood, i am supposed to find weird red blobs, interact with them and then go to the place where there is purple light? Also when i did a major sacrifice of a leg, when i had to do a minor sacrifice, it seemed as if i had sacrificed an arm. But the game works well. Good job!
Very cool game mechanic. This would need some sound, but the graphics are nice. Maybe clicking on the villagers and fireballs should be easier?
The game is very fun to play, and the gfx and sound are really good! This is very innovative too, but at first the controls are a bit confusing. Great job!
Super fun game, especially the ending of the level. Great graphics and sound too. I don't like how you cant throw snowballs over your allies though.
Fun game, i really like the idea. The game works well, is fun to play, the graphics and sound are good, the jump sound is really loud and holding space on a wall makes a really awful and loud sound. Some times the level design is a bit weird when you can't do anything but jump to your dead because all the stackies are dead.
Controls are kinda weird and slow, but the graphics are good, and it's fun to play too. Also this is a very interesting idea for a game!
I like the graphics and particle effects :D Very innovative, and also controls work very smoothly. But yeah, this needs some sort of keyboard shortcuts!
Some levels can be won just by holding space, i think jumping is too slow too. Also music is pretty repetive but it's a functional platforming game.
Graphics look great! Music is very good though, but i'm kinda confused on how to play this. But it's still fun and innovative
Interesting idea, and it is fun to play and works smoothly. I like the graphics a lot. There are some bugs though. Sometimes there is an area that i can't get past, in upper screen there was a strong wind that didn't let me go through, below it there were storm clouds, below those another wind against me, and below that mountains that i couldn't go through, Also on the other side there was the police so i couldn't get through. But when it works, it's fun to play.
Game works well and smoothly, and is fun to play. Maybe it would need better graphics, and some music. Also maybe there could be some sort of power ups to make the gameplay more interesting
I like the graphics, especially the color palette is very well picked. Music is great too. The controls work mostly well and smoothly, as does the camera movement. What i don't like: -Attack is too slow -In the beginning of the game there are these spikes that go up, but they are very difficult to spot, and if i land on one, i am flung in to the air, and i land on it again, and then i land on the one behind it and i die and am given no chance to not die. Also every time i respawn a text pops up for some time and i can't skip it.
Really cool graphics, and the game is very interesting. It's fun to play too!
This is fun to play, but sometimes it gets a bit tedious. Graphics and music is really good though!
I don't understand how i'm supposed to get to the finish line, but the game works well and smoothly. Maybe if the game was a bit more fast paced it'd be fun.
Graphics look amazing and is really fun to play too. Great job!
Interesting game, but i think instead of the game ending when running over 3 civilians, it should just like affect your end score, as now it is very difficult to not run over civilians. Graphics are good though and controls work well. I just would like to play this a bit more, but it is so difficult to not die in this game.
Really good graphics, but the gameplay is confusing and jittery sometimes.
Very interesting game, good graphics and sound, also is fun to play. Sometimes the game is kinda confusing though :D
The random generation doesn't work that well always. Also the controls are not always that good. It's a fun game though, and you got a lot done in 48 hours.
Really fun game, i just like getting cornered by a million spiders and just playing a lute till i die. Why can't you wear the tophat though? Great graphics, great music,great idea and great implementation. The enemies are just a bit too tough to beat, as they are as fast as you and it takes time to turn to face them, then attack them. Seriously, the lute makes this game so much better than it would be without :D!
This is a really cool idea, great graphics and the game works well too. Sometimes there are weird stuff happening, like that i can't see the enemy when it is behind the falling lava, so i just bump into it because i don't know it is there. The music and sound is great too!
Great idea, and the implementation is pretty good as well, I like the graphics, but the controls are sometimes a bit difficult.
The link is 404
It's a fun game, even though the idea is not very original. Fits the teme very well, music is good, and it's fun and easy to play. Good job!
The game works really well, and it's fun to play! Music and graphics all are great. I don't really know how to avoid killing innocents, as the streets are so crowded.
This was fun playing! But when i first played it, it was weird that first there were no kids everywhere, then a billion kids appear on the screen.
The controls are a bit weird, the movement of the llama slows when it is near the pointer.
I like the exploration aspect of this, but sometimes i get stuck in places because i lose so many hearts because of the red dots, and cant move anywhere because i am surrounded by them. But this is still a fun game.
This is fun to play and works well, but i don't really get what the point of the energy drinks are.
I like the art, and the game is really fun to play! I think it would benefit from having a short guide in the beginning because i was really confused at first on what i was supposed to do.
I really liked this game. It fit the theme perfectly and the mix of 2d and 3d in this game works really well. I also like how the game is also a story. The controls are kinda weird sometimes, as my character just freezes sometimes.
I love the aesthetic of this game. The game was a bit confusing at first, i thought i was supposed to hit the red blobs with myself, but then i understood that i had to attack the green blob. My only real complaint, is that when you have these "cave" mazes which you have to navigate without touching the walls, the controlls are really bad for that. Maybe if you could move the triangle with the mouse it would be less tedious?
I played this, and you explained the lore, but there was no sort of guide on how to play the game. There is just two buttons which i don't understand what they do. Also i don't really know how this fits the "sacrifices must be made" theme, when you are trying to avert sacrifices.
This is a pretty good game, and i like the innovative mechanics most, but the controls were a bit weird sometimes. Still, i had fun playing it and would have played more of it if there were more levels. I think this game mostly needs a bit more polish, better graphics(the slimes are now just squares?) and some sort of music.
LD45 — Start with nothing (11)
7 Days by AppoxGames 2019-10-07T10:23:21Z ♥ 2
Very interesting concept - very similar to mine, check it out: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/45/vaahtera ! Gameplay was innovative and clearly a lot of effort was put to the tree growth mechanics and it shows! Nice graphics and audio. My only gripe with this game, is that sometimes, controlling the tree is very difficult, it seems to have a mind of it's own at times. Also, It's sometimes unclear, what parts of the tree are falling off, and how to prevent that, so I would suggest looking at fixing those two things and it will be an even more awesome game! Also- a bug I noticed: At one point, all of my tree died, and I couldn't even try to finish the level, as there was no point left to grow from. Anyway, a really cool and fun game with a great atmosphere!
Ludum Dare 45 by Trypants 2019-10-07T10:17:18Z ♥ 1
This game has an interesting concept, and cool graphics and sound design. It seems tho, that the music doesn't loop, so that should be fixed. The movement system is super confusing, maybe movement should work on clicking on tiles instead. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do in the game, but it sure has potential. The game seems a bit unfinished though, as there is no guide, and at one point I lost control of my character, and he just flew off screen, which I think is because I lost, but not sure why I lost and I wasn't told that I lost.
You Start With Nothing - Ludum Dare 45 Game by HappySnake 2019-10-07T10:02:08Z ♥ 1
First of all, the title could be a bit more original :D. Nice and atmospheric graphics and sound design, although the quality of the graphics is variable, for example, the player's hand look bad, but the environment looks nice. I like the exploration elements, although I am confused on what I'm supposed to eat. I think the items should have icons, so you know what a sap might look like, so they would be easier to find, and would avoid confusion. I do agree, that the player gets cold a bit too fast. Also, if the terrain wasn't flat, the game world would be a lot more immersive½
Emoji Overflow by laegoose 2019-10-07T09:51:11Z ♥ 1
Very innovative idea and great implementation! Graphics and sound design are excellent. First I noticed that clicking on the emoji's is a bit unresponsive at times, It would make the game more fun in my opinion, if the emoji's were a bit larger (I didn't play on fullscreen, maybe that's why I had problems). The strategy elements are nice, but I would like to have more liberty in what I buy, as the available items seem to cycle. Also, I think you should have more HP, to make the game more fun and intense. Also, I noticed, that you only die, once the emoji is completely inside telegram, but it might make more sense, if you would die, once the emoji collides with telegram.
No Room to Move by Thoof 2019-10-07T09:45:03Z ♥ 1
The music and sound effects are great and fit the game. Graphics are good and clear, but even though this game's art styles differs a lot from other games, which is good, I think the graphical style doesn't exactly fit the gameplay, maybe you should play around with different graphical styles, If you are thinking of continuing the development of the game. This game has a lot of potential :D What I really liked about this game, is that the gameplay mechanics here were new for me, but still they were easy and quick to learn.
Welcome to Nowhere by AdroitConceptions 2019-10-06T23:34:14Z ♥ 1
I like the concept of gathering abilities in the levels, and I think you should expand on that and add new abilities to find, of which some would be very hidden and powerful. Controls are mostly fine, but lining up some jumps is difficult, because you can't control the jump's height. Graphics are clear, and music is, well interesting :D, but it gives it a different and distinctive feeling.
Witch's Cauldron by Kazatan 2019-10-06T23:28:32Z ♥ 2
I also thought that the page wasn't loading, but it just took some time for the Unity logo to appear. First off, the camera shakes a bit too much when the witch does sharp turns at such a speed. The witch's controls are also a bit weird to handle. Actually the witch's movement is the biggest problem in this game, just slowing her down a bit would help a lot. I liked the enemies' AI and design, but the world could be a bit more decorated. Anyway, I liked the potion making process, but perhaps exploration could be incentivised.
Start With Rain by Piturnah 2019-10-06T23:21:46Z ♥ 1
I really liked the mysterious Arabian atmosphere this game has, with it's tribesmen and deserts and atmospheric music. I found myself playing this longer than I expected, but I would suggest, that because this is a clicker game for PC, that instead of tediously clicking with the mouse, you could use a keyboard key. The procedurally generated desert is also interesting.
The Lucky Nugget by Julien Kuhn 2019-10-06T23:15:20Z ♥ 1
The game has a funny atmosphere, and the banjo music really helps that feeling! Graphics could be better. Gameplay is easy to understand, and can keep the player interested, but maybe some more features, like the tavern should be added to make the gameplay more varied. One complaint I have, is that the amount of gold you have is rounded, when it is in the thousands. This becomes a problem when trying to buy a pickaxe, that requires 1.5k gold, but you only know when you have 1k or 2k...
Marooned by whooshy 2019-10-06T23:09:49Z ♥ 1
Graphics are great and vibrant, and the sound design is good too. The island seems to be procedurally generated, and is fun to explore. Unfortunately, right now it seems I can't progress in the game, as I can't gather resources, so I guess that's a bug. Anyway, my first impression was positive! :D
Abstractio by cactus 2019-10-06T23:04:45Z ♥ 1
Great sound design, striking graphics and art style, and an amazing atmosphere. Controls are easy to understand and innovative, as are the mechanics. However, I'm not sure if I have understood the point of the game. I think that the player is supposed to figure out, what elements to combine. I just clicked the assembler again and again, until the assembler showed me, what to combine, and I think that took some of the fun of figuring it out again. Even then, I think the main gameplay mechanic, combining boxes and discovery of new elements should be expanded upon more, as right now, it doesn't feel that fun, but it has a great mood anyway.
