LD46 — Keep it alive

By Lanterns Light by rbeattie 2020-04-22T07:45:39Z

My opinion comes from being a composer and sound designer, so that's what I can talk about... The title theme is well composed for the game, fits the mood nicely. The mockup is a bit weak, the fake strings kind of hurt to hear after a while. But the theme itself is really nice. There could be a little bit more in the sound design department. The atmospheric fire flickering sound is awesome, I love how that's basically the ambience of the game. But the jump sound followed by silence (no impact sound) feels bit strange. Overall a cool platformer, nice art style as well.

Lights Out on Pluto by cad 2020-10-06T06:41:03Z

really awesome vibe here. When the lights go out for the first time and you hear the growl, I was scared lol. I wasn't sure entirely what the goal was? I looted everyone, and got the flamethrower. I pulled the lever in the far left room and trapped the beast in the room to the right, but then couldn't get inside to fight it. Maybe I did things out of order? Anyway, I played it a while. Some creepy music could have been nice to enhance the mood too. Congrats on your entry!

@aterlamia is your screen ratio 16:10? I had the same issue when we were testing the game and the v2 version comes with a windowed mode that solves this issue!

Eternal void by UglySwedishFish 2020-10-06T19:23:01Z

wish I could have played it, just got a white screen after putting in my resolution that would crash after about 30 seconds :(

Eternal void by UglySwedishFish 2020-10-06T19:39:22Z

@uglyswedishfish ah yes, how silly of me. Thank you for helping out with that lol. Really amazing graphics you have here, like really cool. Definitely the spotlight of the game. As someone who works on audio I will say the loop of music was a bit tedious after a while, and the growling that would happen occasionally was clipping really badly. Otherwise, you nailed the concept and made a beautiful looking game. Congrats!

.determinant point by Dmitry Kaidash 2020-10-06T06:28:31Z

this was really really cool. The visual aesthetics of going back in time was really well done, and the puzzle aspect of helping yourself out was a really cool idea. Nailed the theme. The soundtrack was a bit repetitive for me, but the overall mood was there. Good stuff, congrats on your entry!

I laughed so hard trying to climb a tower of granny's who all started talking to me. Good stuff.

12 Space Diamonds by José Bonilla 2020-10-06T07:08:51Z

controlling the spaceship was tough, but it made sense since you're in space. I wish there would have been a zoom level between the overall map and the close up, I feel like one in between would have made certain things very easy. Also, the black holes weren't in the correct coordinates sometimes. But I loved the vibe, good stuff. Congrats on a cool game!

Age of Amperes by JHax 2020-10-06T07:14:19Z

really cool puzzles you've put together. One of the first games I've played tonight that made me use my brain lol. Soundtrack was really nice too, kudos. Nice take on the theme. Congrats on a cool game!

One More Day by Bit Assembly 2020-10-06T06:11:33Z

interesting concept for the theme. It hit me during day two that I was just virtually cleaning up garbage lol. But I really enjoyed staring out into the space you had there, good stuff. Would have liked a bit more engaging gameplay - I'm assuming once you have enough money you can leave or something, but getting to that point was difficult. I was having fun trying to throw garbage into the can from across the bus, though! Congrats on your entry

Express Without Remorse by alpacalypse 2020-10-06T06:59:48Z

for how simple looking it is, I played it for a pretty long time lol. It was well done. The artwork in the station proper was really neat looking too. Wish there was more to do in the tavern area but it was a nice touch. Well done and congrats!

Horizon Signal by Tiro 2020-10-06T05:44:37Z

really nice mood you have here. The dark electronic stuff when you're flying the ship makes everything feel creepy. To that effect, I kept thinking more of a horror element was approaching but never quite got that. But you nailed the concept, and I had fun playing. Congrats!

Stuck in the Luntic by Harrm 2020-10-06T19:31:14Z

I agree with the comment above me, the atmosphere is there but nothing is really grabbing me to finish this puzzle. There was one bit where there was what looked to be a hand drawn cavern in the ground - if you drew that, great job! Congrats on your submission
