LD46 — Keep it alive

8 Degrees of Being Charlie McCandless by Simukas 2020-04-19T22:46:32Z

Games not loading for me! That said that could just be me, I'm having trouble with one or two browser games today, but maybe someone else is having the same problem? I'll try again later!

up in the sky by stuffed wombat 2020-04-20T01:30:06Z

This is sick as hell! I wish I had something more insightful to say but it's juicy and entertaining!

Ludum Dare 46 Entry: Tree Sim by Alex Mulkerrin 2020-04-19T22:38:50Z

This is so cool! I like how the players able to infuse their own luck and personality into it!

DITAZURE by BJakubowski 2020-04-20T02:17:39Z

This is cool! I think being able to take the flashlight off of yourself, risking safety for additional environment information, is great!

Peculiar Farming by Arcus 2020-04-19T18:41:56Z

The stakes are unclear as are some of the mechanics, but this is super neat! And I like the idea of farming as an intense resource management action game rather than its usual closer-to-reality depiction of being tranquil and requiring patience.

Keep cats alive! by Odeyalko 2020-04-19T21:05:18Z

This is rad! I love game jam games that go for exploration, it's an ambitious thing! I'd love to see this fleshed out more!

Not Clowning Around! by Wilson Taylor 2020-04-19T21:41:25Z

@plantleaf Thank you so much! I'm not typically an artist, but it's nice to see someone likes my stuff!

@charliegray @soupornoghosh Hahaha, I seem to be getting that a lot! But I'm glad you guys enjoyed it!!

Not Clowning Around! by Wilson Taylor 2020-04-19T21:43:11Z

Okay, Compo's not over yet, so screw it, I'm going to make it A LITTLE LESS nightmarishly difficult. Thank you to everyone for their feedback!

Not Clowning Around! by Wilson Taylor 2020-04-19T22:23:59Z

@lukel Thanks! I thought I was overburdening myself by doing the three games thing but I'm glad it worked out!!

Not Clowning Around! by Wilson Taylor 2020-04-19T22:42:58Z

@kmfnj I don't plan on revisiting this game, at least not for some time until after LDJ, but it's not a concept I'm opposed to at all. Do you have any ideas for how to tone down the concept to be more easily accessible but still frantic and anxious? Thank you for the feedback! :D

Not Clowning Around! by Wilson Taylor 2020-04-19T23:30:50Z

@paroxysmal I noticed that!! That was a happy accident but it TOTALLY worked out!!

Not Clowning Around! by Wilson Taylor 2020-04-20T00:58:10Z

Thank you to everyone!!

@stolen-biscuit just remember that a martini is NOT 1 part gin/vodka to 1 part vermouth! That's how you get a weird, slimy martini! My trick is that I fill the shaker up with ice, pour a bottle's lid's amount of vermouth in, do a light shake and then strain out the rest of the vermouth that isn't stuck to the ice cubes! Then add your desired amount of gin/vodka and pop in an olive or two!

Not Clowning Around! by Wilson Taylor 2020-04-20T01:48:35Z

@rjerez192 that last point's a damn good one.

@polypickle thanks! glad you noticed!

Not Clowning Around! by Wilson Taylor 2020-04-20T02:11:20Z

@watswat5 i always just imagined being a bartender was composed entirely of telling clowns not to off themselves

Not Clowning Around! by Wilson Taylor 2020-04-20T02:15:41Z

@forevertrash I totally respect that. Did you try opening up the drink book though?

I mean either way, not trying to dissuade you, but I thought that maybe you missed it.

Anyway, thank you for trying it regardless!

Not Clowning Around! by Wilson Taylor 2020-04-20T02:48:07Z

@forevertrash Cool! Thank you for giving it another try, and I'm glad you like it a little more! :)

Not Clowning Around! by Wilson Taylor 2020-04-20T03:06:41Z

@mhykah Thanks!

Not Clowning Around! by Wilson Taylor 2020-04-20T05:19:27Z

@kmfnj No problem! If I revisit this game I'll keep this in mind, make the game more accessible! Thanks!

Not Clowning Around! by Wilson Taylor 2020-04-20T20:47:06Z

I'm straight up overwhelmed by the positive feedback, thank you so much everyone!

@dhim those are really good notes! If I revisit this at any point, I'll have them written down!

Not Clowning Around! by Wilson Taylor 2020-04-22T20:32:16Z

@anonymous, previous commenter

I feel that. Honestly I do.

But I'd rather have a small bit of unpleasant and strange contrast below the game area than to hear that someone found this game right before blowing the big one and think that I didn't try to say anything about it.

I mean, this is a DARK game, let's be honest.

Not Clowning Around! by Wilson Taylor 2020-04-23T08:07:25Z

@anarchoapathy allow me to be the first to say that Nightmare Mode IS DEFINITELY NOT BALANCED TO BE DO-ABLE

PLEASE, I beg you, there are other great Ludum Dare games to play, do not take the ungodly amount of time it would take to beat Nightmare Mode!! D:

But I'm glad you like it!! :)

Myrion Station by JamesVaughan 2020-04-19T18:52:32Z

Multiple playthroughs are tough because of the unskippable dialogues, but this is intensely ambitious for a compo game! Good job!

VAT - Very Astonishing Tubs by GeneralSturgeon 2020-04-19T21:14:13Z

I dig this! A wrinkle I especially like was the fact that un-optimal temperatures acted as a multiplier to resource drainage. Cool idea!

Angry Aphid by scifi6546 2020-04-19T21:01:19Z

Cool twist on Missile Command with the implementation of friendly fire! Cool!

Social Life by CharlieGray 2020-04-19T20:41:42Z

I'd love to try it but I'm getting an error telling me that Windows can't access the file! I'll give it another shot when voting comes around!

Social Life by CharlieGray 2020-04-19T21:55:49Z

@charliegray It is! Very cool concept, REAL TOUGH TOO but I like that in a jam game. Good stuff, man!

Egg Bounce by SteelySam 2020-04-19T08:56:59Z

Hey, this is cool! Kind of reminds me of a harder Kirby's Canvas Curse, with less rolling more bouncing. I dig it!

Alive 4.7 by BoiGam3r 2020-04-19T22:44:36Z

The writing is clever! Also I like the simplicity of self preservation as a take on the theme of Keep It Alone

Alive 4.7 by BoiGam3r 2020-04-19T22:44:45Z

*alive

EICON TOWN by Sacrface 2020-04-19T18:47:07Z

The link is broken! D: I'd like to be able to try your game!

Dog Feeder by plantleaf 2020-04-19T18:20:15Z

This is neat! I think I have the same complaint as everyone else, as switching to mouse and QUICKLY back to extremely specific keys on the keyboard is kind of tough, also music resetting is a bit annoying, but it's a cool concept and done pretty well!

Alt + F4 by ApexHurts 2020-04-19T22:39:45Z

Can't seem to download it! D:

Kill the undead - keep her alive (for as long as you can) by Gaspar Laprida 2020-04-19T22:29:45Z

Not bad at all! Wondered at first how you managed to get the blood streaks working on HTML 5, cause I've had trouble with that kind of thing in the past, but realized that you may not be using GMS2 like me haha

Loko by Dinaharison 2020-04-19T21:11:29Z

This was rad as hell! Very polished, simple graphics turned appealing and the hordes of enemies started to reach memory leak status, but the performance never dropped, so it worked great!

dry dry by Nathan123 2020-04-19T20:53:56Z

I dig it! I can't seem to get my score up but it's actually really polished and has great game feel! Liked it a lot! Also nice to play a controller based game on Ludum Dare.

The Game of our Lives by Owl_Skip 2020-04-19T22:27:57Z

This is a load off. Perhaps what's needed right now. Very cool.

Keep Your Rage Alive! by cateye 2020-04-19T20:59:42Z

Hey this is cool! I'm an especially big fan of the mouth noises.

LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Demon Sigil by Justin Herrick 2022-04-05T02:41:00Z

I liked it! It could use some quality of life additions, like where are the dudes coming from, maybe having facing forward and facing backwards sprites, but I thought it was fun!

One More Song! by hadesfury 2022-04-05T20:36:30Z

This was cool! I wasn't expecting a point-and-click with this aesthetic but it was a blast, great job!

Halberd by Ayced 2022-04-07T02:53:51Z

Damn, impressive!!

mote by KianaMosser 2022-04-05T02:42:24Z

Aw dude cool!

Tragedy on Tattle Row by Cievers 2022-04-05T15:16:15Z

This game's neat! The start of it and the end of it being bookended by long seemingly unskippable cutscenes discourage retries pretty harshly but I still think it's neat! Nice job!

Boss Rush: Tibbs Under Fire! by Wilson Taylor 2022-04-05T01:04:19Z

Thank you so much! @GrossGiirl worked her ass off on 'em!

Boss Rush: Tibbs Under Fire! by Wilson Taylor 2022-04-05T01:09:13Z

@rawb @ohsnapitzsean Thank you guys! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I am also a gigantic fan of the art.

Boss Rush: Tibbs Under Fire! by Wilson Taylor 2022-04-05T01:34:06Z

@kbf123 Definitely unintentional. This thing was a big rush man. But thank you! I'm glad you liked it! @t-c Glad you liked it!

Boss Rush: Tibbs Under Fire! by Wilson Taylor 2022-04-05T02:43:27Z

@inanimatecarbonrod Thank you so much! That's very kind of you to say! @warchief Now THAT'S a hell of a compliment, thank you!

Boss Rush: Tibbs Under Fire! by Wilson Taylor 2022-04-05T15:12:36Z

@kianamosser Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! You're absolutely right on these fronts and if we ever get the chance to get together again and patch it or even expand it, we'll probably be implementing changes on all those fronts!

@cornfab Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you liked it, also yeah, the rolling into transitions thing popped up RIGHT at the very end and we couldn't do anything about it but you're right, it's weird. But I'm glad you liked it and thanks for the feedback!

Boss Rush: Tibbs Under Fire! by Wilson Taylor 2022-04-05T20:07:37Z

@robin-schmitz Thank you so much! We're stoked you liked it and thank you for the feedback! @mtrx Hey, stoked you liked it! And hey that's the danger of makin' a jam game, glad you enjoyed it regardless! @hadesfury Glad you dug it, thank you! I'm of the mindset that XP grinding can be a great time and I kinda wanted to play on my own enjoyment of it!

Boss Rush: Tibbs Under Fire! by Wilson Taylor 2022-04-21T23:54:47Z

Thank you to @trevormccauley @corrupt-spaghetti @jchab @marvis @allax @sodoj @100th-coin and @kazuren for the incredibly kind comments and extremely helpful feedback! Sorry for not responding until now, but it means a lot!

Glue Bot Galaxy by J-fret 2022-04-05T01:18:04Z

Same here, I'd also like to check your game out but the link's broken

Peter and the Pesky Puppets by agushmar 2022-04-05T01:20:30Z

Very spooky, I dig the hell out of it.

Out of Fuel! by Fnessa 2022-04-05T01:16:46Z

Aside from the control scheme being a little wonky, this was really cute and fun!

Sn002e by Mogmi 2022-04-05T20:23:50Z

Liked it a lot! I enjoyed trying to remind myself to come back after a minute to solve a puzzle, like the way a real alarm clock works its way into your brain so that you're only half-aware but full-anxious about it.

Hold The Line by Griggy 2022-04-05T00:47:42Z

Dude, that's actually clever as hell. Nice job getting it on browser, too.

That Toilet... Feels so good. by Julyyyy 2022-04-05T01:30:02Z

Dude, this is fantastic! Very multifaceted, very cool for a jam game, great job!

Study Breaks 📚 by Puree Adventure 2022-04-05T15:28:17Z

This is damn good for a compo game! Nice work!!

Barbar-chicks by kangsoon 2022-04-05T01:37:01Z

This is a damn good one!

The Last Guardian of Some Orbs by Klumaster 2022-04-05T21:35:05Z

Neat! I liked that the theme was encapsulated in both the narrative and the actual gameplay!

The Last Guardian of Some Orbs by Klumaster 2022-04-05T21:35:07Z

Digital Pet by the3rdHunter 2022-04-07T03:08:40Z

Man I'm just a sucker for numbers that gradually go upward. Played longer than I'd like to admit. Good work!
