LD46 — Keep it alive

Torchkick by Wekaj 2020-04-23T11:52:55Z

So I could not finish the tutorial - the last jump was to high for me) But! I managed to complete 1st level! First time I wondered how I did appear in the water because I remember there was tube I was walking on. And then I realized that water is rising continuously! Game is pretty difficult ...until you find out that you can swim. Then you just need to be a good rocket and kick torch quick enough before it get under water too far away. ...However this didn't help me to even pass the 2nd level. I only managed to survive for 3/4 of the way)

City Soundscapes by Firesplash Entertainment 2020-04-23T12:19:46Z

Unfortunately I didn't really understand how to play this game :( I clicked policemens and their preffered music appeared but what do I have to do with this? I only managed to go through the city and click police guys to see their preferred music. But how I could help them? I don't understand. This would be really great to add a tutorial to the game :)

NOAS by ROBOWARRIOR1982 2020-04-23T13:06:41Z

Awesome game! The first among games I played for LD46 that I really enjoyed! I even replayed some levels to find keys. Suggestions: 1) When I defend the white key it is better to have a different animation for it usage. Sometimes destroying animation for white key when I defend it confuses because I think that I killed it by accident. 2) When playing with non-default view (view like you are driving the tank - not top-dowm) after tutorials or some intros my view became default again. I would remember the state of view when you play animation to return back to correct view. Really good game

Rap Freyr by obizram 2020-04-23T12:07:43Z

Ahaha! :) I would say this is really innovative. I have never played such games before Though I don't play much at all. I would recommend to add check for mic before starting the game or at least forewarn user that they need a mic. Luckily I had :) Would love if you add more tracks to the game and would be awesome to add some rythm check (to make player sing but not just shout

LD49 — Unstable

Dizzard Wizzard by ryjcio 2021-10-12T21:22:31Z

This is what we wanted to in our game) But we did it mush worse) Graphics is very cool, nice animation VFX of spells is something unbelievable, wonderful! You have to get used to controls but you do it. What confused me is that I constantly was doing wrong spells which led to self-damage. But it is what you need in order to learn to use correct spells. Of course I used fireballs the most often :) Turning enemies into chickens is really funny :) But then I understood that even chickens damage you! I was so upset killing chickens) Sound is nice, like in a good production game All mechanics work nice, no bugs spotted Environment is nice, I would love to have such in our game Overall this game is... nice:)

The Salatroitsk Incident by DrunkardWolf 2021-10-12T20:17:40Z

We found all samples without using Geiger counter) Had to explore the whole location to find the last piece. The Creature is funny and creepy at the same time. Sometimes it felt like Slander. But, honestly I liked the fact that I have infinite number of ammo, so that I can fire at this creature as much as I want. Graphics feels like you play Minecraft in RTX mode. I would play this game one more time if the graphics could be improved to a suitable level. It would be also nice to have a minimap to help with orientation. Fog is cool, but sometimes it is too much of fog. Game feels something like "You Are Empty" or "Cryostasis" Sound is good, all actions have their sound. The only thing that was missed is the ambient sound (and graphics settings in menu :)). If this game has been released 15 years earlier it would have gained its popularity :) Thanks a lot guys

God Engine by ick 2021-10-12T19:04:55Z

Well, I suppose there should be some sound in the game in order to navigate but I didn't here anything. The idea of holding something (perhaps, it was apple?) in order to see health is pretty cool. I liked this creepy atmosphere and style. The hand is also creepy) So I had to navigate only basing on my visual sense so it is obvious I didn't go too far. But I liked the idea of darkness and when you feel lost in the world. It's almost like a horror game. In general I would love to play this game with sound working for me. Please, let me know you fix the sound or can tell me what should I do in order to hear something in the game

Warp Driver by Wilko 2021-10-12T19:20:45Z

Leaderboard is something that I love to see (as a web developer). Even curios where do you keep a web server to manage the leaderboard. Gameplay is cool. Unfortunately I realized that speed of the spaceship depends on how far you pull the mouse too late. It was one of the last levels when I realized that. Sound is good, very good Graphics also on the level Gameplay is nice. I wonder how you programmed the trajectory calculation... :)

Warp Driver by Wilko 2021-10-12T21:47:40Z

@jeff-kerman , just wanted to say again, I do really appreciate your job. It is always nice to see IT projects on the edge of spheres, for example, your game which has a connection to the web. Of course, many production games to it but in terms of LD Jam it is something above expectations.

Magmanimal Island by Battlerager 2021-10-12T18:50:04Z

So I didn't understand how to delay the requests and kept trying to feed cards as best as possible. Unfortunately my rabbits died pretty quick and I didn't manage to get them back to the island. Which in turn led to the eruption :) I liked sound design of the game, embient sound is not good, each action is supported by some kind of sound which makes interaction pleasant Unstability of card deck highlights jam's theme. Good idea, I like it

The Niland Incident by bflatinteractive 2021-10-12T18:34:54Z

At first time I didn't understand what to do and even didn't understand if I can die. But after the first death it became more obvious what those numbers to the left mean :) And I finally figured out what those icons on levels mean. I liked the randomness of levels and liked this chaotic movement of creatures. The game is pretty simple but it shows really cool mechanics that I honestly liked. Also the sound. Sound is also pretty simple but it IS in the game and makes it much more playable that this game could be without the sounds. It was fun to play your game

Fire Risk by Soul Grinder 2021-10-12T19:30:32Z

The game even give scores, nice) Grade B for the 2 attempt, I think I am good:) This game requires you to get used to the fact that platforms melt because of you and you cannot stay on a platform indefinitely. Graphics: hell is done cool! When I jumped into the lava I first thought I failed but then realized that this is the goal of this game :) Graphics is good Background music is good, it's active enough nut doesn't distract you What else? Well done guys)

Pillars of Faith by bunnybones 2021-10-12T19:36:47Z

I just played it as a bomber?) I mean I liked just throwing those columns and other architecture elements around. Game allows you to just go back in a level if you fail. So I had my fun just playing around with the architecture Transitions and movement are smooth, it is just pleasure to switch between levels watching camera moving up and down smoothly

Realignment by Mediflect 2021-10-12T21:40:26Z

And in the end I made the drone infected) Oh yes, I am so bad Graphics is awesome. I liked that cartoon style very much Minigames: I wonder when did you have time to add minigames apart from the main gameplay? Probably, there is not much of the main gameplay? Nevertheless, I liked playing your game. It looks pretty much finished, the only thing - I didn't find a button to Restart. Wanted to finish the game with a good end Story is nice as pointed by others. Sometimes I stopped playing just to read the dialog Very cool game, I like it!

LD51 — Every 10 seconds

Sonar by erikiene 2022-10-04T16:52:51Z

Sound and graphics are outstanding! I can tell that the game feels very good. I really liked the visuals, sound and partially gamepley. Gameplay is not clear for me. Even after I completed the game I didn't understand why submarine get destroyed from time to time after that rapid bipping. And when you die the game closes and you need to start it again - it annoys :) But overall impression is good

Police Mayhem by WFMG 2022-10-06T16:49:23Z

Flying car reminds me Ron's car from Harry Potter series. It also flies but does it horribly! Actually, I didn't find any murderers (or whomever I was supposed to catch) but I liked striking trees and poles. By the way did anyone manage to get to the other side of a river? :)

Maze Runner by mimusangel 2022-10-06T15:34:05Z

I could get a headache with this game :) I liked running around the maze and finding these green checkpoints. I understand that 10s is theme restriction but it will be more fun if the time can be extended somewhat Great job!

By the way it helps a little if you take a look at maze map before the sprint and then run to the checkpoint using your memory

TeleSpy by Neon Glass 2022-10-04T17:54:42Z

The game appeared to be engaging. I found myself wondering how far I can go. The WASD movement didn't work for me from the first attempt but after I restarted the game it worked. Mechanics are simple but levels are built good using those mechanics. I would like to be able to also teleport the character somewhere inside the circle, not only on its borders. But this fact adds some challenge to the game. Also it is possible to teleport yourself behind the walls and hide from guards in this way =) Good job team!

10 Seconds To Recycle by Wubbl 2022-10-04T17:38:38Z

To me this game appeared a little buggy. After many runs I didn't find any score at the end. BUT! I managed to get to top 10 (so far) :)

Stuck gun by mira 2022-10-06T15:51:07Z

I can't say the game was to easy. I had to make an effort not to die from the first attempt. I would say that game balance is good. The only thing that I wish you improve is to add some sound indicating that the gun is almost working (almost charged. Okay, when it is about to fire). Because there were a lot of times when I was not ready for a gun to fire. You got my point - some sound indicator would be awesome :)

Thank you for the game!

HighRise Rampage by Zyger 2022-10-06T20:00:46Z

Nice game I think all our team has played it! Would be nice to have some soundtrack on levels. Other than that it's awesome! Style. Just style

10 Seconds Or Less by RTDMFN 2022-10-06T16:30:01Z

One of the most interesting games I have played so far (this jam). I would love if difficulty could increase with time. Because after 14 deliveries it becomes a bit annoying (to easy) Thank you!

Trespasser by Beep Boop 2022-10-04T18:09:48Z

Agree with people above. Lighting effects are cool, I like the fact that you see where to go only when lightning strikes. Graphics is cool, I like it. But slow movement of character annoys me. I liked to move fast pressing Space but character slows down shortly and then I need to wait again to be able to move fast. I understand that you did that by purpose, but I think it would be better player experience if character moved faster but the level itself is larger in scale. Good job!

Modern Post by Holy_Doggo01 2022-10-06T16:40:24Z

I like the graphics very much! And sound support is good as well. But the game is too difficult for me. I literally didn't have enough time to align them all! Good game!

Toot-al Darkness by woahitsjeff 2022-10-06T11:16:23Z

Oh, it was scarry. Fuck, I hate horror games! Well done guys, you made good horror game. As soon as creature started doing noises I immediately paused the game to take a breath. I am very happy to see your game made wit Unreal Engine, this is fantastic you dare to use this engine for such a rapid-developed game. Torch is done very good, I liked it a lot! Maybe you could give a tutorial on how to do a torch light like yours?) Graphics could be better with such an engine using free assets :) And blinking with your eyes might be skipped totally, I am not sure about it Good job!

Oh yeah, I think there is a bug: torch battery level was decreasing even when torch was turned off. Not always, but sometimes that was the case

Spacivery by fireKS 2022-10-06T16:55:27Z

Too difficult for me to catch these things in a row. But very good point is that the game doesn't stop when you fail. Actually, the game is very fail tolerant which makes me happy. Graphics, motion, animation and controls are good. I see a potential in this game

Wall-Run by Rekko 2022-10-06T16:00:34Z

Outstanding graphics, very good sound composition and interesting idea. It looks similar to Beat Saber for VR. I wonder how difficult it is to play this game in VR :)

Squared by Mentol 2022-10-06T16:20:06Z

Nice game! I managed to win 4/6 games. The Mathching one and the one with arrows I didn't get. And found a bug :) https://youtu.be/9VLn-uZCLrY

Under Pressure by 321mine 2022-10-06T17:05:39Z

This is super awesome that you did the game with UE5! You are incredible, guys! We still can't jump off the UE4 I would think of adding cross to where mouse pointer points. And would allow the character to run backwards so that he can fire in any direction while moving. And, probably, would think of some ending of level - like you need to run from point A to point B defeating waves of enemies

LD53 — Delivery

The Souls Express by antvelm 2023-05-05T09:37:42Z

As many people said the graphics is just awesome! It is just pleasure to play the game just staring at pictures. Music suits the game very well and adds incredible immersive feelings

This is really relaxing game. So unfortunately I managed to collect only 20 tickets and couldn't see what happens when you activate that thingy in restaurant carriage.

Overall the game stands out of most games presented on Jam

Wormpocalypse: Battle for Chornobyl by Emty 2023-05-17T10:34:05Z

Ahah :) Thank you very much for a feedback @toccio94 Your comments mostly make sense and I wish we could improve the game accordingly. I see you have a good feeling of what game should look like.

Thank you for time!

TukTuk Delivery by MrBamboo 2023-05-03T19:48:23Z

We have similar game with similar camera view :)

My comments are 1. Solid tuk-tuk handling. It feels like the road is a bit slippery 2. Route drawing on the Compass map is like in GTA :) I like it very much 3. Tuk-tuk motor sound feels like almost real tuk-tuk) Btw, are you guys from Asia?)

Suggestions and thoughts: 1. Compass rotation should follow main camera. It is hard to navigate when main camera is always alligned to the North but Compass rotates following character 2. It would be nice to have some dialog/intro explaining who you are and what are you doing 3. Would be nice to have some music on background and in the main menu

P.S. Could you please teach to draw route on minimap as you did?)

Deliverz by Kongo 2023-05-03T19:31:41Z

Despite the game is super simple at its core the story rules it out! First 2 tasks were simple and standard delivery tasks. But when Sid entered came and the actual story began I couldn't stop playing. It was really interesting to know what the outcome will be! The story is mindful and it's individual parts are fantastic! Chinatown guys, guys at trailer park and fights with them are supper funny.

You managed to make such a cool story with only 2 mechanics! (package delivery and hits). This is just WOW!

Deviler by Antonin Browne 2023-05-05T17:29:30Z

Oh, it's a pleasure to see game made with UE too! We made ours with UE 4.27 but we want to be rated for Graphics so everything is solely hand made)

In regards to the game: I like the music, it definitely gives some modern-robotic-night vibes. And the robotic voice fits here very much. In terms of visuals I can't say it is great. At least we know that UE5 can do much better. But also we know that we have only 3 days :smile: Tried 2 different cars. Handling differs a lot, which means everyone may find something for themselves! I like your implementation of car handling. Just wonder why didn't you bind Esc to stop the game? Overall the game is cool)

Drifting Trailer by martinboue 2023-05-05T17:24:47Z

Played both in browser and desktop. The reason is it seems browser version does not support WASD but only supports arrows. And also I notices that there are some boxes at the beginning of the level in desktop but there are no boxes in browser version, hm

Overall I liked the game a lot! Unfortunately my driving skills didn't allow me to deliver even the second trailer :smile: I like the music and especially like the quality of engine and tire sound, this is incredible! Very good job in terms of sound. Rated it for 4.5. Not 5 just because I lack some audio input for story and probably some more diverse sound of firearms. Btw, mouse didn't work for me so I could not use the gun for some reason. And also I wish the camera could be a bit smarter and provide more visible space in front of the car. Sometimes there is not enough visibility to drive the car at fool speed. Other than that I believe this is really nice browser or even mobile game :smirk:

A mailman's nightmare! by Nature Pixels 2023-05-03T20:05:30Z

The game feels like Dendy or Sega games! Got some nostalgy (despite I'm too young to play those games xD) Feels like Mariao But the movemnt is too fast. It was hard for me to control a mailman/ And it was not obvious how to use the gun)) But in general it was fun :)

A mailman's nightmare! by Nature Pixels 2023-05-03T20:09:10Z

In regards to game page 1. Please consider adding game logo/image for preview. Here on this page 2. It would be nice if links were links, you know. Click and be redirected to the page. It is very easy to do it with Markdown) 3. Btw, I played your game because of a blog post begging to play the game. Not really good marketing approach) Again, please consider adding some picture (not necessary of your game) to easier attract people

LD55 — Summoning

Oil Creatures by krakadushka 2024-04-16T19:07:02Z

At first I could not understand how to play because I thought that my task is to defend the tower xD But when my friend suggested that I need to spawn monsters to attack the tower the things turned around! Eventually I managed to destroy the tower, however thought that it's gonna be impossible for me. I found my strategy and reached to the great explosion of the tower! But a lot of time has passed before I realized some mechanics :) (e.g. big monster can destroy tubes (or whatever it is) to allow the smaller monsters-archers to reach the tower)

I liked the sound very much! The game feels complete with all those sound effects

Mobius by Jerem Watts 2024-04-16T18:19:38Z

The game's graphics reminds me good old Doom. I don't quite understand why I need a sword - there was only one character whom I found and killed, despite he didn't seem to try to attack me. But agree with @quadape I was also curios what I find at the top levels (although, at first I didn't think it is even possible to get there). Wall running mechanics is pretty cool! That's fresh up to a point! But I would love to have more challenges related to jumping in conjunction with running on the walls and make those challenges more... challenging. Overall I liked the game, however it needs polishing.

P.S. Better place the first diary somewhere very close to player so that they can easily find it and understand what they are looking for

Summoner Siege TD by evil23 2024-04-16T19:31:23Z

It is pleasure to play this game. Just sit and watch your towers destroying dozens of monsters. Unfortunately I had to play the game the second time after I have read that I can actually move the camera! And I saw the place for summoning monsters and I liked it! In regards to gameplay: I don't understand why I constantly lose on 26th level despite I have around 7 lives yet. Anyway I enjoyed playing this game :)

NECRO RUSH by helviett 2024-04-17T19:26:52Z

Good game. I like the progression of difficulty. The game feels pretty much complete. Just add few gameplay mechanics (like reach some point or burry N graves or summon a demon by collecting X horcrux) and it is ready to be published to production :)

Squiggle Sorcery by LoongYi 2024-04-16T16:54:10Z

I think I found a bug :) When I put all cards on a table and then tried to replace some card I got warning that I must select card to put (however, I have already selected one). Also the gameplay is not quite clear for me. How can I understand my chance to fail/win? Is there any relation between cards on a table and my chance? Probably, it should be better described in Help menu

P.S. Graphics is awesome!
