LD44 — Your life is currency

Pulsation by stevenjmiller 2019-04-30T18:25:51Z

This was linked to me by some random dude in chat. And boy am I glad they did. This was a treat to play. Terrain morphing puzzle platformer. yes pls. Difficult to learn really understand at first. But you eventually get there. Thanks for making this :)

Mr. Bank's Journey by Sheepolution 2019-04-29T23:45:57Z

Really cute game. I'm nearly finished with it but wanted to show you a funny lil' bug. I was able to run along the outside of the fence and walk around freely out there. watwatwat.png

My only gripe is how easy it is to get caught on corners. And there are alot of tight cornery things to navigate.

JUNO by DeathBySnail 2019-04-29T19:41:07Z

Looks like you were preparing for the potential theme 'classic game with a twist'. Very calming. I did like the sudden changes in pace. It started getting hectic as soon as I started thinking if it was gonna

Entity Manipulation by JCMonkey 2019-04-29T17:50:22Z

Super nice casual puzzler. Once I read the extra rules while ingame it finally clicked.. Really smart and simple design. Love it. Is the sound effect you going 'squish' with your mouth?

Entity Manipulation by JCMonkey 2019-04-29T17:53:28Z

love it :P

Rising Pyramid by BoltKey 2019-04-29T20:04:08Z

Super difficult to understand. But lost track of time once I got the hang of it. Really solid once you get past the learning curve.

CrazyAmbulance by C64Gamer 2019-04-30T15:12:31Z

Such a funny idea. The best part of this jam is playing all these surreal games. Weather condition randomness could add some good flavor to it. Controls are a little slippery but I really enjoyed the physics of the world. I appreciate how respawn is sped up. Good game overall.

Bloody Runner by DidiGameBoy 2019-04-30T17:17:29Z

I'm so bad. 80% of my restarts start with a piece of flying junk to the face. The pallette is nice but some of the sprites are too similar. Its really easy to get confused when trying to go faster than the default speed. Fair jam game.

Populistic Optimization by Genetic Selection by erikkire 2019-04-29T18:04:40Z

Very interesting game. Game gets alot more interesting when you introduce virgin births.

At all costs by zimennik 2019-04-29T22:20:24Z

Dope idea. First survival genre game i've played sofar in the jam but it was a solid one. Good job.

Shop till you drop DEAD by IcyLava 2019-04-29T18:17:23Z

I love the bgm in this game. This is for sure a quality idea that could be expanded into something great. Reminds me of downwell.

All Become One by SaraJS 2019-04-30T16:53:27Z

I've only played one other god game this jam. An underrepresented genre for sure. I love the experience although there could have been alot more risk. Felt lacking in challenge but LOOKS and FEELS real nice.

Energy Tanks by Ogniok 2019-04-29T22:58:19Z

Tank movements feel real tanky but not slow. Firing is satisfying. Make more of this game pls :)

Super I-Egg by gilborn 2019-04-29T15:02:10Z

When you check for player activating a jump while jumping. Zero out their vertical speed so the jump really has an effect. The Triple jump is pretty much pointless unless you do it frame perfect. Also you can spam spacebar real fast and slam against the ceiling. Speed up the scroll a little bit more :)

Coin-Op Kid by Strega 2019-04-30T03:58:58Z

This is a fantastic little puzzle game. And, without a doubt, the best use of the theme I've seen so far. I really enjoyed it. Some of the shots are a little hard to make. Didnt feel like there was any consistent way to shoot the coin exactly where I wanted it to be while jumping. Something to note. Both the sound and the transition play twice on death. You introduce alot of neat tricks, I would like to see them be used together in more elaborate setups. Also, I wanted to eat all the coins at the end and bust. Too Short. I want to play more :)

Devil's Death Collector by gamesplusjames 2019-04-30T16:25:27Z

I can't imagine how much more difficult this would be with textures and worldobjects all around the npcs. Its already plenty hard enough to look through the constantly moving crowd. It does get tedious after a while but I think that could be easily solved. Good jam game overall just very difficult.

Lifelong Quest by argensis 2019-04-29T17:57:50Z

I was unable to die. I just stayed at a sliver of a heart for forever.

LD Force by Jason Lothamer 2019-04-30T16:05:38Z

keyboard controls do not work at all if you've got a gamepad plugged in. The game lags everytime the ground mob shoots the multi directional bullets. Are you drawing all objects on a stage the entire time? And allowing them to shoot? Consider only activating a little bit beyond what the player can see. Its sortof unplayable with the constant lagfreeze spikes.

Idle Skelly by Morg 2019-04-29T17:52:38Z

the start reminds me of universal paperclips. More of that stuff pls

Microtransaction Mages by Jeremy Ryan 2019-04-29T14:46:28Z

First time play an asymmetrical autorun shooter. Make more of this pls :)

Influencer by SuperCrunchy 2019-04-29T18:46:14Z

make restarting faster pls!

Mercs by fazz 2019-04-29T18:29:37Z

Looks so good. It was very easy to first do the 2500 creds job. I then hired a 2500creds merc and he can clear that job solo.. easy farm! If the mobs weren't so easy to kite this game would be real great. Its too easy to cheese.

The Joy of Creationism with God Ross by AndideBob 2019-04-29T19:28:37Z

SUCH a delightful experience! It did quit on me. I don't think i did anything to deserve it but i cant be sure. I love the artstyle and the voice over is a nice touch.

Gem Heart by Hopeen 2019-04-30T15:21:01Z

Can only one of the orbs at the start be busted at any one time? I couldn't get them to break pressing E or F. Least, not the one I wanted to. I'd spam it on the far right one only for the far left one to break. Player is alive after zero hearts are left.Sometimes my jumps wouldn't register when I pressed the button.

Gem Heart by Hopeen 2019-04-30T17:10:13Z

Aha! that explains the jumping issue. Solid jam attempt no less. Keep making games :)

Your life is currency by hypp 2019-04-29T19:00:25Z

I use to play the mess out of the slot-car game that came bundled with pcs way back when. I was in the lead 100% of the time with a gun I had no use for. Give the leading player things to shoot at please.

Devil's Coin by dbr 2019-04-29T22:31:02Z

I wish the fireball casting were more consistent. Sometimes I fire none. Sometimes I fire one. Sometimes I fire a stream of three. The art is real cute and I did enjoy sucking the life out of people and hearing the things they say as you tease them with a life or two of health before you suck it all away.

Arena Of Wealth by GreenBoxGames 2019-04-30T01:19:49Z

I'm pleased you added some variety to the enemies AI. I liked that some mobs didnt bother approaching at all and shot from a distance. Cute graphics. Fairly simple. Could be alot more difficult.

Deep Space Prospector by Roidz 2019-04-30T15:47:57Z

I had 75 points. I purchased capacity and thrusters. Had 25 points left but couldn't buy the mine beam upgrade for 25. Why is that? Starts out a little slow but really feels nice towards the end. Great atmosphere.

Deep Space Prospector by Roidz 2019-04-30T17:12:55Z

Yeah that makes sense I suppose. It didn't occur to me the 'shopkeeper' may care more than I do about having enough fuel to make it far enough away. Thanks for the clarification.

RoShamBo ++ by Von Vista 2019-04-29T14:42:51Z

Simple but cute and enjoyable. Is there anything you wish you had time to add?

Boxed Out by jf1989 2019-04-29T18:54:36Z

it didnt stay easy for long. I got no gripes with your game. Solid puzzler. I like the way the playfield moves in a wave.

Curfe by Kajetan Andrzejak 2019-04-29T22:38:25Z

Couldnt break 2080. Great Loop. Super fast restarting. Awesome theme. Nice BGM. Great all around. Nice job.

Ente by J0ye 2019-04-30T14:58:06Z

love the onebit style. Reminds me of minit but its lacking in stuff to do. Its clear that most of the time spent was on atmosphere. It shows and really feels like theres something more hidden underneath. Makes me wonder.

Mass Attack! by Sciman101 2019-04-29T22:43:49Z

Art style and movement reminds me alot of awesomenauts for some reason. The slime colours behaving differently is interesting. I am finding it difficult to last long tho.

Ziggy's Life by PurpledArtFrog 2019-04-30T03:12:51Z

Not having any combat feedback makes it really hard to enjoy the game since thats 99% of it.. I played it just to try out the exploit pictured above.

Save Your Bacon! by Furtive Pygmy 2019-04-29T22:25:38Z

Got to 376. Simple and solid. Felt like it took forever to get out of level 1 but once things got rolling things got fun.

Parkour De La Death by Codesity 2019-04-29T18:25:07Z

The death screen is hallarious and unexpected. Game is super short but fine for what it is. One of those get it all wrong til you get it right games.

Game Of Life by skill347 2019-04-29T18:50:05Z

The teleport to the top of ladders is very jarring. I did like the idea of the sprite showing age as time was lost/removed when damaged.

Bloodlust by Danga 2019-04-29T23:13:03Z

This is probably my favorite game so far. Feels real good reflecting one enemies bullets at another. The mid wave shop fulfills the theme requirements perfectly. There is a huge difficulty spike on level 3 but it feels real nice to get gud at the game and push through it. I would absolutely play more of this.

PunCha-Ching Bag by Ryan Brenner 2019-04-30T03:27:40Z

I am terrible at punching thieving kids. I enjoyed the absurd setting and doodle art style. For as badly as these kids want the coin out of my body... more often than not, they still choose to chase me even though i've thrown out tons of coins. Why do they want the ones still inside me so bad? ;/

Rock, Paper Scissors: After (School) Hours Edition by SpliceDev 2019-04-30T01:50:54Z

It would have helped to have a visual reminder of what each options key was during gameplay. The art style is great. Neat skillgame.

Fair n Square by DaniDev 2019-04-29T22:17:06Z

Very nice feel. Controls feel nice. I opted for a sword but my sword shot bullets. So that was strange.. but other than that gud job.

Suicide Slime Arena by Abitscared 2019-04-29T18:11:17Z

You have exclusively keyboard controls during gameplay. But on death you require the mouse be used to attempt again. I'd probably play this a fair bit more if it were faster to restart.

Bloodia by Sebastien Bourgeois 2019-04-29T18:45:39Z

I really wanted to give this game a go. It looks interesting. But I get an error on startup. "The procedure entry point GetSystemTimePreciesAsFileTime could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll"

Bloodia by Sebastien Bourgeois 2019-04-29T19:08:45Z

@sebastien-bourgeois windows 7

Bloodia by Sebastien Bourgeois 2019-04-29T19:18:53Z

@ me again if you come across a fix or something. I really would like to try this game.

Bloodia by Sebastien Bourgeois 2019-04-29T21:14:18Z

Hey! Thanks for fixing it for windows 7!

123212.png

Short but nice. Very easy and a little slow but for sure great groundwork. Some visual indicators for damage being done would be nice. Great mood/atmosphere. I love the bgm.

Money is life by Nova31 2019-04-29T02:29:11Z

Team monsters :) Very cute

Little Baby Bloodbag by Trevor Shoe 2019-04-30T02:54:28Z

This is a really neat proof of concept for a mechanic that could carry a fine game. I just wish there was something more to do with my pack of green bois. It needs more chaos.

Fluffender by Kalashnikov 2019-04-29T14:49:13Z

I'm a sucker for cute intro cutscenes. I did feel the gameplay was a little too slow. Very much on theme though. Great job.

Earn Your Life by aCactus 2019-04-29T22:48:43Z

Its just like real life. You do the things and at the end its just over. Were you satisfied? idk.. am dead.

MoneyBag by Chameleon 2019-04-29T18:08:17Z

Reducing your life to manipulate the height of your jumps is a neat concept. Turned out to be a cute little puzzle game. I like it. Could be longer

Money Heist by dmdmdmdm 2019-04-29T19:16:07Z

Short and sweet. I'm 642,200$ richer. You can squeak against the walls and not be damaged by ground spikes tho. Literally BEING currency.. very nice use of the theme.

Necro-Mart by Lemur 2019-04-29T19:07:30Z

Is it intentional that items double up ontop of each other? Sometimes I'd collect a wrong item but it would say I collected the correct item. I assume this is because the correct one was underneath it? Could easily see this as a neopets game or something. Solid idea.

Cellvelution by TrueDima 2019-04-29T21:28:09Z

Super nice concept and mood but its so hard to control :/

Time Demand by TwobyThree 2019-04-29T18:58:40Z

Super short. Trippy art style. I played it as true to my life and I ended up marrying my pc. Thanks ;)

Life for Likes by FM Studio 2019-04-29T18:20:15Z

This is a really cute game! I've never seen any mechanic like the selfie camera. Do more of this :)

-1 (Minus 1) by Mahou 2019-04-29T15:06:01Z

Great audio. It took me a sec to get what was happening but after I figured it out it ended up being pretty fun. Although I dont think I made it all that far... Even after multiple attempts.

Greedy HP by Bouergh 2019-04-30T15:30:26Z

Cuuute. Hungry Hungry Hippos meets the Sushi-go-round minigame from Pokemon Stadium. The menu music reminds me alot of the stuff hear on Spongebob. A really tight & elegant party game. Good job guys :)

Boxes Rush by Mia Devs 2019-04-29T17:47:29Z

There was alot of text setup for how simple the game is. I kept hearing the sound of coins being picked up eventhough I wasn't picking them up myself. It was as loud as If I was doing it. If its the enemies picking them up, consider making the audio reflect this.

Gimme Your Heart by Misu 2019-04-29T19:30:57Z

So cute. I love your art! Did you also do the music? Incredible for a FIRST game.

Aegeus' Gladiator by TheShamo 2019-04-29T17:41:49Z

Very short. Do the enemies wander? I got a shop message after completing it but then the play button wouldn't work anymore.

The upside(down) by Youpeoples 2019-04-29T15:07:27Z

There are actually two ways of avoid buying the two initial upgrades. Thanks for being the first to try it :)

The upside(down) by Youpeoples 2019-04-29T16:46:10Z

Only one bullet type is stopped by walls. The Blue one. Red one Bounces. Black one is immune to walls.

Thanks everyone for giving it a go :)

edit: @noobexception. The secret win condition lock is intentional for reasons I can't say cause of spoilers. But it was a mood choice. You're the first to find it. Good job being so curious!

The upside(down) by Youpeoples 2019-04-29T17:16:37Z

@Saering Sorry, never occurred to me. And since i dunno the rules regarding updating a submission after time has elapsed.. Heres a build for French Keyboards(i think) https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ebPqCOTgdxWM7FGtYdyTNcrwcf60cvGa

The upside(down) by Youpeoples 2019-04-29T19:02:13Z

@seb-jones Wall eaters power really shines once you make it late game. Thanks for the plays everyone!

The upside(down) by Youpeoples 2019-04-30T17:08:31Z

@gcttirth you sat on a spike for 30 seconds just to see what it would do. You were rewarded. But you must find its value inside yourself. Its your ending. On your terms.

The upside(down) by Youpeoples 2019-05-01T15:56:12Z

@cpx3 Yeah, If I could go back and change any one thing it would be to have you respawn upside down at the first choice on game restart. Thanks for the feedback. And more thanks for taking the time to play my game.

Håtvåessofyra by patetfisk 2019-04-29T14:38:32Z

The sounds are god tier! I love the art style and the difficulty was just right.

Lifetris by iarwain 2019-04-30T02:46:30Z

Man.. this is a tough game. Its an interesting twist on tetris. Trying to first identify the optimal place for a piece in the position its dropped..Weighing the damage of two dead lines at the bottom or two self made dead lines at the stop. It felt good having my brain exercised. This woulda went so well under one of the discarded themes.

Heartreasure by nettaigyo 2019-04-30T03:21:40Z

Cant rate it because I dont have a mac to play it. But the art was so cute that I had to comment and say so. If this ever gets a windows build please @ping me.
