LD48 — Deeper and deeper (4)

The Fall of Squidy by ealhche 2021-05-17T12:27:41Z ♥ 0

Cool concept, congrats on your entry :) I think the idea works well, it has good potential, especially on mobile. I would have loved to see: - some kind of reward when killing enemies - maybe a timer or a lesser slow mo when preparing a move, to increase the difficulty (otherwise it's a bit easy to just wait indefinitely for the right moment to move next to an enemy) - some reward/shop/stuff to do in the secret rooms :)

AeroCat by W0oly 2021-04-27T18:15:33Z ♥ 2

I love the twist on the controls, it adds a lot of depth to a simple yet very effective concept! The cat is beautifully animated and the colors and textures are delightful, everything feel fluffy and dreamy. It's also well balanced to be challenging and fun at the same time! Congrats on your entry!

I dreamed of Matriochkas in Paris by pythong 2021-04-27T18:08:27Z ♥ 2

This is absolutely gorgeous. Many moments in the game had me smiling, it's full of poetry and has an amazing aesthetics. Great job!

Infinity Dive by keepee 2021-04-26T14:31:36Z ♥ 0

Brilliant, I love all about it.

LD47 — Stuck in a loop (16)

TCHOU by pythong 2020-10-06T14:30:47Z ♥ 1

Great puzzle with a wonderful ending. The art is beautiful and the sounds are delightful. Brilliant!

a Damsel a Day by alec 2020-10-05T15:02:58Z ♥ 0

Great entry! the art and music are top notch and everything feel very polished. Good job! PS: These damn trees keep getting in my way!

SORO BORO by nethead 2020-10-05T14:58:08Z ♥ 3

Congrats on the entry! Cool polished game, I find it quite hard, but I'm not used to this control mapping. It has been mentionned above, but the hitboxes feel a bit harsh. I really loved the music!

Looper - The Last Mission by Coding4rtist 2020-10-05T13:21:11Z ♥ 2

congrats on the entry! cool game, well polished :) really enjoyable.

Loopyman by Peter Jonsson 2020-10-05T13:07:12Z ♥ 1

Effective puzzle game! You can see there are a lot of creative ways to solve levels :) great entry

Merry-Go-Madness and The Claw Of Survival by LetterAfterZ 2020-10-05T12:59:10Z ♥ 2

I loved the pixel art in there 🙂 solid entry, pretty fun game.

Mr Ballman by MrSchlag2 2020-10-05T12:35:28Z ♥ 1

Cool entry! I like your take on the theme, there is a good feeling. I think it'd be interesting to have snappier controls at low speed to aim more precisely. Good job!

Puzzle Pong by darthone 2020-10-05T10:12:21Z ♥ 1

Great entry! Minimal art, but the puzzles are great with neat controls and a relaxing soundtrack. It's so satisfying to find the sweet spot and see the ball get stuck in a (almost) perfect loop! Very fun to play with :)

Hunger Pains by Kaabiikaze 2020-10-05T10:01:10Z ♥ 2

Congrats on completing your entry :) Very fun take on the theme! It felt like all the rounds were actually the same level again and again. I think it would benefit for more diversity in the chopsticks layout/rythm.

Worm Day by Andrey30353 2020-10-05T09:56:38Z ♥ 1

Congrats on making this entry :) I really like your take and the theme, which is pretty fun. Might be me, but I struggle so much to get this first berry. Maybe the timer could be a bit more permissive at first?

Space Minigolf by russeli 2020-10-05T09:50:07Z ♥ 1

I love the wormhole mechanic, adds a nice touch. I wish it had a bit more feedback as I wasn't sure how many I had per level / why sometime it wouldn't pop up as I clicked. Overall nice entry with quite a lot of levels! Good job :)

The Bullet of Sisyphus by RedPain 2020-10-05T09:46:10Z ♥ 1

Nice entry :) Having the shooting kinda sync with the music is a very nice (intended??) touch! I found it oddly satisfying to hold my own live concert of dozens of tiny ships.

Beelieve by Diego Teran 2020-10-05T09:39:35Z ♥ 2

Good job! I like your take on the theme and the wiggling webs are so satisfying :) Pretty fun overall! It's a tiny bit tedious to click on the point to move along the web, and pretty stressful when a big spider is chasing after you, but maybe that's the point? I would have appreciated alternative, snappier controls with keys, to move the bee.

Core Defense by JCMonkey 2020-10-05T09:31:25Z ♥ 1

Nice entry! good job :) As mentioned above, I took one or two hits early on as I though I couldn't shoot through the core. But overall pretty fun!

Crazy Running Cow by Vollfeiw 2020-10-05T09:24:02Z ♥ 2

A drifting cow, what more could you ask for? Nice entry, controlling the cow feels a bit clumsy but that's the point, so it makes it quite fun. Does the difficulty rises up as you complete more loops? didn't feel like it but I might be wrong.

Time Crunch by Riley Miller 2020-10-05T09:15:26Z ♥ 1

Nice entry! I think the Paradox mechanic adds a very nice twist :) I reached the evil squid but couldn't manage to kill it unfortunately.

LD45 — Start with nothing (17)

ØJE by Gaming Night 2019-10-14T09:28:05Z ♥ 1

Beautiful art. The ambient track is very soothing. Good job 👍

Memories of Eleph by Leandroc 2019-10-13T14:27:00Z ♥ 2

superb 👍 it's very soft and appealing. I really liked the obstacles/enemy patterns, but some of them felt a bit unfair/too hard, clashing with the overall peacefulness of the game (which can be both a good and a bad point I guess). I'm not sure I understood what all the items (rock, water...) did. (FYI I got stuck a few times behind the pedestal here, and couldn't get out (collider issue?)): aze.PNG

Zen Man by Team Catwheel 2019-10-11T13:43:02Z ♥ 1

Good meditation game. Would have some potential as a relaxing mobile game.

Race Recycle Restart by crazyrems 2019-10-11T09:46:17Z ♥ 1

I really like the idea of putting together your your own car, fits the theme and incentivize you to keep exploring the map for new pieces. It was quite hard to know what to do at first though, I spent most of the first half of the game simply walking through the map, bumping into objects and pushing them around. Good job overall though!

ZomPunch by digitaldude555 2019-10-11T09:41:31Z ♥ 1

Good job on completing your entry :) I don't get why the fork is so expensive, but considering this is the only question I ask myself when I'm punching zombies on scooters while I'm half-naked, maybe I need to reconsider what I believe in.

Materialistic Cat by tarfield 2019-10-10T13:14:20Z ♥ 1

Good ending 👌 🙀

The Learning Drone v4.5 by kukiric 2019-10-10T09:32:15Z ♥ 1

A very relaxing puzzle game, good job! I really can picture it with smaller, more contained levels. I really liked the metroidvania vibe of the large world though :)

Alchemicraft by chaosed0 2019-10-10T09:19:23Z ♥ 2

I absolutely loved the aesthetic, the 8-bit sound effects and the simple yet *super* effective pixel art were very charming. My only regret is that I tried to pet a little bunny but killed it instead :(

Empty Stomach, Empty Toilet by Idontknow 2019-10-10T09:14:50Z ♥ 1

Crap.PNG

... so close...

The Glowing Adventure by Clickbait 2019-10-10T09:11:15Z ♥ 1

Man I wish I could pet these cute spiders instead of killing them all. Maybe that's what the character is trying to do nonetheless? 🤔 the way he akwardly moves its sword around...maybe he's just after hugs!

Soundmarine by Dustyroom 2019-10-10T09:07:38Z ♥ 0

Beautiful game, good job. I really enjoyed the soundtrack, would be worth it to release a music video with the game in the background :)

Missing Entry by cyriaque 2019-10-10T09:02:10Z ♥ 0

This is a great game. Do all the players have access to all the choices or do you do a random pull out of everything that has been entered so far? It's really brilliant. It's making me want to share it with friends, and create a story together.

Dark Sword 22 by FadeInWind 2019-10-10T08:49:32Z ♥ 0

I liked the small and concise open world/hub ;) I tried to fight monsters in the towers a few time but couldn't even win a battle. Even the little bats were stronger than my hero :(

Lost Cube by Ninben 2019-10-10T08:45:09Z ♥ 0

Cool game, I liked the 80's synths and overall retro vibe. As mentionned above, the controls felt a bit too sensitive, the "character" was hard to control with precision. I think it's mainly because the camera doesn't have an "elastic band" effect. As a result you get confused as soon as you jump because your perspective changes. After a while though, I got the hang of it and could complete the levels :)

From Nothing by arkinrev 2019-10-08T19:04:51Z ♥ 0

@kazatan I was confused by the controls as well: use left click (you can hold it down) to have your character follow the cursor.

Rubber Duck Genesis by Rayne 2019-10-08T18:59:54Z ♥ 1

I don't know what these signs are, but my cat went crazy when they started dancing on the screens. Fun entry, good job :)

Amor Fati by starvingindie 2019-10-07T16:45:13Z ♥ 1

Cute game :) nicely done!

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres (11)

RTHM by fashionbatman 2018-04-26T15:24:48Z ♥ 1

This track is amazing ✌️ when I was finished with the game I just spammed Space just to listen to it

Daunting Dungeon by Jiri_One 2018-04-25T09:07:00Z ♥ 0

Congrats on your entry :) I agree with most of the comments above, the game is quite fun and keeps you playing, but I would have loved to see my current score, having enemies spawned in a more "controlled" way, and be able to move with arrow keys. Still a fun little game!

Dance, Farm & Feed The Monster by Gnomik 2018-04-25T08:56:09Z ♥ 2

Congrats on your entry :) The main mechanic is fun and keeps you entertained. I liked the musical theme as well, despite being simple, it's very catchy! I just had a few little bugs about what kind of candy crops I would plant, but nothing stopping me from playing the game.

Keyboard Army by PeachTreeOath 2018-04-24T08:17:12Z ♥ 3

Works very well, I almost went for a typing game myself. Great entry :)

VRn't by Michael Clavell 2018-04-24T08:10:14Z ♥ 3

Cool entry! I love your interpretation of the theme :)

Locobe by krunoslav 2018-04-24T08:06:11Z ♥ 2

Nice entry! A meaningful and fun to play game, it's a very interesting perspective. I played first without reading your explanations and a second time after and I really understood how stupid these humans were.

Card Walk by Dovena 2018-04-24T07:59:52Z ♥ 0

Congrats on your first game! I hope you had a great time and continue to make some :)

NEED FOR DEFENSE by trulyspinach 2018-04-24T07:53:13Z ♥ 1

Very good feel and a well balanced game :) well done for this great entry!

Graveyard Gains by Maurice_m8 2018-04-24T07:46:45Z ♥ 1

Congrats on completing your game :) I love the base mechanics, I think it would make a very fine game on mobile especially. When the zombies start chasing you really makes you spam that left click, this is great.

It's Not Lupus! by Deozaan 2018-04-24T07:42:23Z ♥ 2

Congrats for your entry! Nice polish on this game, makes it easy to get into :) I agree with the comments above, suggesting more variety in the shooting phases, but still very cool!

A Tribute to Mayhem by TechnoNugget 2018-04-24T07:30:42Z ♥ 1

Congrats for your entry! I loved the amount of different power ups, keeps me playing until I was sure to have seen them all :) Blowing enemies up with the C4 was a blast. If there was one improvement to make I would suggest the control scheme maybe? (move + jump with arrows/WASD).

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon (17)

A Knife Made Of Whispers by managore 2015-04-23T19:31:00

I loved the graphics and the general atmosphere. However, the joystick controls did not really fit for this, and it got pretty frustrating. But as always, good stuff :)

Blockade Arcade by Supernaught 2015-04-23T11:39:00

Very nice audio and glitch effect, I liked the game a lot, even though I think power ups/modifiers would have made it a great little thing with cool replayability

The Rock the Paper and the Scissors by BIZM 2015-04-22T20:48:00

You killed it guys

HUGO THE LASERCAT KING by TyrusPeace 2015-04-22T14:44:00

Cool stuff. Was waiting for this one.

Loquacious Lepus by Lacaranian 2015-04-22T13:37:00

Ow. Great music.

Lets go Bananas in outer space by Smiley 2015-04-22T13:29:00

I think you should add feedbacks or other graphics to make the difference between power up and ennemies'projectiles. Cool retro style, nice job :)

Ex-Sword-Stential Crisis by Team Ex-Sword-Stential 2015-04-22T13:17:00

Nicely done! A bit hard to understand where you're going, but the upgrades make it fun. Good job !

Ani-melee by RHY3756547 2015-04-22T13:06:00

Cool game, controls are great :)

Shark Lazer Hands by HeuGamer 2015-04-22T13:02:00

Best run animation out there.

Numpad weapon by lightsoda 2015-04-22T12:58:00

I like the take on the numpad weapon. Using the actual numpad could have been less frustrating maybe

Farm Fury by ironleonem 2015-04-22T12:49:00

Good, but I find the progression a bit slow. Nice job.

Floppy Man by Selzier 2015-04-22T11:43:00

Nice thing you achieved with camera and controls. Too bad the graphics and boundaries/polishing aren't there. I'd like to see a finished version of this one !

Backfire by Marjie62 2015-04-22T09:16:00

Well balanced concept!

Clashy Clouds by NCBRdev 2015-04-22T09:11:00

A pretty nice game, well executed! good take on graphics, audio and theme, all efficient. Nice work, your little clouds cheered me up :)

So long, Space Hero. by factorial 2015-04-21T14:54:00

Good job for your first game !
The concept is good, but it would have been cool to push it further, maybe adding different body parts with different shapes, or even a race between two players to infect the same body...

Deadly Darkness by ahnt 2015-04-21T11:57:00

Good concept, LD is pretty fun, adding polished graphics could make something cool :)

Secret BFG by tppr2046 2015-04-21T10:01:00

I can't get the HTML5 version to work :(
