LD37 — One room

Fourth Base by Aless 2016-12-15T13:17:00

Somehow funny... :D

Let them in by Wildebeest Studio 2016-12-15T13:22:00

We really liked the visuals and the music.

JamBear by samt2510 2016-12-15T13:41:00

Wow... just wow a really nice looking game with a bit of frustration factor.
Everything looks nice and is well stylized.
The player sound could be a bit louder through.

Santas Helpers! by Nnnnneeeedddd 2016-12-15T13:27:00

I really like the idea and the graphics. The gameplay is a bit weird sometimes. A bit more music would have been nice :)

Five Days To Die: A Hospital Mystery by terryg 2016-12-15T13:31:00

I really liked the game. The drawings are well made and the gameplay is as simple as it should be. Menus could be made a bit nicer.

The Fluffy Factory by piller.yann 2016-12-15T13:14:00

Really neat entry, with great graphics, music and so on!
Even if it is pretty hard.

Geometry Encounters by hlavik211 2016-12-15T13:36:00

The idea seems to be some kind of asteroids clone with "intelligent" behaving enemies. The game is quite fun even if I never managed it to beat all enemies. When you die nothing happens. I actually like the graphics, except that you player isnt marked in some special way.

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

Mortal Decisions by KunoNoOni 2018-12-03T21:40:04Z

It's a nice idea, even though it feels like the choices don't really matter. I honestly think that this game would be more enjoyable in a console window, just because it feels somewhat analogous. Nice small game.

Sacrificial Sam by HitchH1k3r 2018-12-30T18:28:52Z

Might not be the best looking game, but a really nice game to play. The mechanics feel really good and i love the bouncing jump animation. Congratulations to everyone.

Bunnycula by pcmaster 2018-12-03T19:14:09Z

Quite a fun game even though it is kinda hard. Took me a while to get the controls in my mind :sweat_smile:

Together by beta 2018-12-10T18:14:44Z

Gives me "Passepartout" (It's a game where you need to draw) vibes. The circle drawing actually increased the looks of my drawing :smile:

AI Flying Bomb by Bart Huylebroeck 2018-12-02T22:17:00Z

I had a somehow hard time picking this up. after a few tries i genuinely had fun with the controls. Sometimes the "GO" UI got stuck in place and i felt like getting hit by the turrets is really hard. Maybe think about adding some tracking / prediction in the future.

Samurai's Legacy by Simone 2018-12-02T22:05:21Z

Had a lot of fun on your game. Especially on building impossible structures with dead ninjas :laughing: I highly recommend taking a look into unity lighting a bit more, because i know the game could look even better than it already does. Great game.

Humanity Hero by Guilb 2018-12-07T12:01:11Z

Really nice game. Gameplay is repetitive to a certain point, but i love the balancing you have to do to reach your goals. I would enjoy if you would go with this game a bit deeper into the rabbit hole :)

Worthless Robots Fight by 01FE7E 2018-12-03T21:28:32Z

Sadly almost impossible to play on a 2160 x 1440 screen since the controls seem to be cut off of the screen. I could play a bit by clicking on border pixels and guessing what happens and still had quite some fun. a resolution selection and windowed mode would have helped me a lot

More Sacrifices! by Alex Davies 2018-12-03T19:44:01Z

One of the nicest pixel art games i've played in this LD so far. Level 1 was really nice. Starting Level two things got REALLY slow and it felt somehow not right. Otherwise a really good game.

Helpless Haggis by David Hunter 2018-12-03T20:51:24Z

Kinda reminds me of lemmings. Took me two chances for the first level, because i was bad and unprepared for the experience

Dazle Islands by Leandre Renouard 2018-12-04T16:30:52Z

Pretty nice, combat feels kinda weird due to the unresponsiveness. Graphics are really nice.

Vulcano by backyard-dev 2018-12-03T19:30:55Z

I really liked the mechanics of the game. Even though i guess it's nothing i would like to play outside of a jam. The sound and music is great. The font is kinda hard to read. I skipped the how to play, because of the hard reading of the font, but luckily controls were easy enough.

Shepards Island by Zhorky 2018-12-02T21:57:29Z

@simone Thanks for your review! Yes. Actually i planned like full fleshed out mutation tiers of evil and heavenly sheep, but as you said. The time was kinda rough with me :smiley:

Shepards Island by Zhorky 2018-12-02T22:07:06Z

@bart-huylebroeck that's fine. WebGL builds are kinda weird on custom cursors and i really tried fixing it. The game has no goal and is more of a atmospheric game. Thanks for playing!

Shepards Island by Zhorky 2018-12-03T20:25:37Z

@haneton Thanks for your review. Yes WebGL is somehow bugged with switching cursors in runtime and clicking at lot. I've read this on others peoples entries too.

Shepards Island by Zhorky 2018-12-03T20:39:33Z

@david-hunter that's what it is about: you create your own goals :smile: It's more of an atmospheric game really.

Shepards Island by Zhorky 2018-12-04T15:05:37Z

@squaredev thanks for the kind words. I've seen some of your work in my Twitter feed. Followed you ;) Great to see some "known" faces on my game :smile:

Shepards Island by Zhorky 2018-12-06T18:41:22Z

I'm sorry @papabirb , but sacrifices must be made :cry: Thanks for playing.

Shepards Island by Zhorky 2018-12-10T09:31:18Z

@dexp Thank you for playing! No it's more of an atmospheric game where you set your own goals and explore the possibilities (and sadly there aren't too many of them yet... it's more of a technical test)

@franciszek-pyrc Thank you for playing too. This is exactly what i planned for, since i feel like a lot of people did something more action heavy ;)

Since a lot of people quite enjoy the game i am currently planning of creating the game for mobile with even more possibilities. Can't give any details though since im quite busy at work. I'll have some time over the holidays and im going to post updates about the game here on my Feed and on Twitter. (I'll probably going to post a official announcement within the next few days :wink: )

Shepards Island by Zhorky 2018-12-30T18:25:24Z

@hitchh1k3r thanks for your in depth review. Actually the mutation rate exactly matches the 1 - population percentage, so when the population is 0, the mutation rate would be 1. At the moment there are not more than the mentioned mutations. (There aremore in the works :wink:)

Volcano Fling by Barrier 2018-12-03T20:00:51Z

This is hilarious.... the sound especially. So much fun. Would love to see a mobile game with those mechanics :laughing:

GOATWRATH by Fat cat 2018-12-03T19:39:00Z

Nice binding of isaac like graphics! It's a bit too fast paced for me.

Go Gobelins ! by Ace_ced 2018-12-03T20:33:23Z

Good game - would love to see more anti tower defense games (please bring it to mobile with more levels). The graphics and sound were really nice too

Toothless Speed Dating by Flying Dog Fish 2018-12-03T19:21:53Z

This is so much fun!. I just think: without the soundtrack it could have been better.

Key Sacrifice by Marc Garcia-Penche 2018-12-03T20:45:53Z

Thanks... now i see my screen all pink. Both modes were too hard for me though :sweat_smile: The sound is a bit repetitive, but overall well made.

No Sacrifice is too great. by Rhou 2018-12-03T20:05:05Z

Nice idea. The intro was a bit long it almost felt as it was stuck on this screen. When the game finally started i had quite some fun and i really liked the ui concept.

No Arms by Carbonara 2018-12-03T20:53:07Z

Fun game and i really liked the graphics.

Cultist Clicker by TheseusInABottle 2018-12-03T19:56:20Z

It's a clicker game... nothing more - nothing less. Would have loved some more effect on clicking.

Lighter Than Air by simon.parzer 2018-12-04T11:35:03Z

This game is a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the graphics and my mind forced my to place the characters as orderly as possible :laughing: Nothing wrong with the game, even tough i lost my first round because of a bird.

Fading Light by BinaryLynx 2018-12-03T21:19:12Z

Needed a couple of tries before i got done anything. Graphics are ok, but a bit flickery from time to time. Good concept, but could need a lot of more polish

Trolley Problem Must Be Sacrificed by Magic Circle Studio 2018-12-03T19:52:19Z

A nice twist on the trolley problem! Music is ok. It's a bit weird that "A" is the bottom track. Maybe consider adding like an "A" and "B" marker to the tracks to clarify the choice.... I really wanted to take the loop, but my brain was wired wrong :cry:

LD45 — Start with nothing

Draconomics by CyberStarLight 2019-10-09T07:27:55Z

I needed a while to get the hang of it. Would have loved to shoot fireballs at will and not only at the little monsters.

Soundmarine by Dustyroom 2019-10-08T14:06:21Z

All i can say: Really nice shaderwork and controls.

My main concern are that the Soundmarine is too close to the camera and that the ship can leave the visible area.

10/10 would want a desktop wallpaper of it without the purple targets in 4k please

errant by zillix 2019-10-08T07:38:29Z

Good game, the post compo version is way better to play. I struggled quite hard climbing in the compo version. The sound is really nice.

VELOCE by torfi 2019-10-09T07:57:16Z

One of the best i played so far. Even though im too bad to play this game. My best is rank 4.

Climb by Matt Rix 2019-10-08T13:53:09Z

Didn't want to load in Opera, but i really liked the strategy part of the game.

Building Keys by boats 2019-10-09T11:58:17Z

I had quite a hard time picking it up, but as soon as i got it i had a great time.

Monster herding by Ryu 2019-10-08T13:43:29Z

I generally love tower defense games. The 2nd one was a bit challenging at first, but managed to win it fairly easy on my 2nd try.

Monster herding by Ryu 2019-10-08T18:17:28Z

@ryu i first built a U shape around the target, then cut one side off and "spiraled" on the outer border as good as possible

The Pond is Bigger Than He Look by Jake White 2019-10-08T07:28:19Z

Really nice game. I loved the graphics and the gameplay. Easy to learn - hard to master. The golf like winning screen is somewhat weird tbh.

Free Will by Baski 2019-10-09T07:32:31Z

Wow i really liked the polish that went into the game. The background lighting is quite fun. I think the player might glow a bit too much.

nothing but everything by slovnoslomo 2019-10-07T18:29:22Z

Wow i really liked the drawing aspect even though i had the feeling it ment nothing what i drew it was a really nice experience

Flappy Bat by Druvsaft 2019-10-09T07:34:53Z

Basically i flappy bird clone with a twist that isn't really one. Still good game and is fun to play. Audio is quite good too.

Nothingness by PhillSerrazina 2019-10-08T14:00:39Z

I basically feel like god now. Music repeats a bit too much for my taste. Really nice dynamic world builder.

BitterSweet by Conroy 2019-10-08T13:47:33Z

Nice mood. Even though it ran pretty slow on my older hardware i had quite some fun trying it.

Revolutionaries and Pixels by Hare Software 2019-10-09T07:08:30Z

Really great game for the time you had to do it. Sadly i didn't manage to win the war.

Space Orc TD by SinaTheGreat 2019-10-08T07:23:32Z

Sadly the game crashed after a short while, but i know what you wanted to do and liked the base concept. (Might be because i blocked the path).

Hoarder's Paradise by Scott Steffes 2019-10-08T12:02:28Z

Finally a game i can buy as many cats as i want. Stacking is somewhat weird.

Spaceshipless by PadenPierry 2019-10-08T13:57:39Z

Nice game. I really liked the combat. A bit more feedback would be nice though...

AMaze by Zhorky 2019-10-07T18:31:26Z

@slovnoslomo thanks for your rating. Yes i agree, but as i said i sadly didn't have too much time this year.

AMaze by Zhorky 2019-10-16T14:05:56Z

Nice bug you found there @zuhairghias

AMaze by Zhorky 2019-10-22T18:01:00Z

@zuhairghias yes it is randomly generated :laughing:

Nothingland by dreml 2019-10-08T11:58:07Z

+: really easy to pick up, good progression -: i felt like nothing happened when i got hit

FactoriNode by Ender7 2019-10-08T10:22:30Z

Really nice idle game. Reminds me a bit of a mobile game called Crafting Idle Clicker. It's really similar, but i love your node based approach.

Robogon by OgelGames 2019-10-09T11:00:13Z

I always loved games where you can build your own vehicles. I had to download the windows version, the webgl just had a blue screen for me.

Socks by OddSocks 2019-10-09T10:50:37Z

It's an idle game. It does what it is supposed to do

Mindmaze by sigod 2019-10-08T07:31:16Z

Since i made a maze game myself, i really liked your approach.

Wipe It by BarracudaDisaster 2019-10-07T18:30:44Z

Nice polished game and wonky controls. Loved it.

A Field of Flowers by KeithSwanger 2019-10-09T11:02:51Z

Gardening - the web experience. Nice audio - nice calm gameplay.
